Beijing, the Forbidden City, since the Yongle Emperor moved the capital to Beijing, it has always been the residence of the Ming Dynasty emperor, but also a symbol of imperial power, the Son of Heaven guards the country, here is the center of the country.

According to the convention, the emperor should live in the Qianqing Palace, because the palace maid could not bear the atrocities of Jiajing, launched the Renyin Palace Change, and almost strangled the emperor who was determined to become an immortal.

Yongshou, the name of the palace that is more pleasing, it is estimated that this is also one of the reasons for attracting Jiajing.

Jiajing's favorite is alchemy, not only refining it himself, but also asking Taoist priests and courtiers to help him refine it, so that the Yongshou Palace is full of green smoke all day long, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.

For this medicinal fragrance, Jiajing is very satisfied, thinking that inhaling more of the pill gas is conducive to prolonging life, but not everyone likes this smell, Zhu Xizhong is one of them.

As the great-great-grandson of Zhu Neng, the minister of Jingjing, Zhu Xizhong is undoubtedly lucky, he can become a high-ranking prince without effort, Zhu Neng uses his own merits to shield his own children and grandchildren from generation to generation, this prince who successfully attacked the prince in the fifteenth year of Jiajing, is secretly laughing at the moment.

Hereditary princes, bathed in the emperor's grace in the past dynasties, enjoying the wealth of the world, the Zhu family and the royal family can be said to be both prosperous and lossy, at the important moment when the old and the new are about to alternate, Zhu Xizhong did not complain, on the contrary, this is a kind of trust.

Since the dispute over the etiquette, Jiajing no longer likes the court, all day long hiding in the West Garden to cultivate immortals, throughout Jiajing's reign for decades, how many capable ministers, Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, etc., friends and disputes are also inextricable, however, the imperial power has not fallen, Jiajing has always played the role of the highest decision-maker, in addition to his cleverness, as the emperor's eyes and ears of the Jinyi Wei is indispensable.

Jiajing is smart, and his physique is also special, he has eaten lead for decades, and the "immortal master" Tao Zhongwen has eaten and hung up, and he is still full of energy and continues to work hard, but no matter how special his physique is, he does not have clairvoyance and shunfeng ears.

It depends on the brocade guards with piles all over the world.

The reason why Zhu Xizhong smiled bitterly was not to take over the position of commander of Jinyiwei, but to dress himself.

The dignified Chengguo Gong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is wearing a Taoist crown and a Taoist robe at this moment, just like a Taoist priest, sitting in the ear room of the Yongshou Palace with his eyes and nose and waiting for Jiajing's reception.

When Jiajing finishes refining Dan, he will meet him whenever he wants.

Alchemy depends on the heat, no one can say when, Xiang Wu is waiting here, it is already the second watch, but Zhu Xihe has to continue to wait patiently.

Not only Zhu Xizhong is wearing a robe, but the eunuchs, palace maids and guards in the palace are also wearing robes, making people feel as if they are in a Taoist temple, to be honest, Zhu Xizhong doesn't like this set of gray robes, but he still pretends to be happy to wear them.

The old man assisted Xia Yan, loyal and patriotic, capable, and lenient, and was recognized as a good man, but he just refused to wear the robe that Jiajing sent him, and ridiculed the emperor, and finally let Jiajing give him his official position.

Anyway, it's all clothes, what are you wearing and not wearing?

"Chengguo Gong, summoned by the emperor." I don't know how long it took, an old eunuch walked over and gave Zhu Xizhong a long-awaited answer.

It's not easy to finally summon me.

Now that it is dark, although he is a close confidant of the emperor, if he wants to get out of the palace, he has to use a hanging basket, and the palace door is not open before dawn.

"Weichen see the emperor." As soon as he saw Jiajing, Zhu Xizhong immediately saluted respectfully.

Jiajing waved his hand casually and said a little lazily: "Excuse me, Aiqing, you are hungry too, come, let's have a light meal together." ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen."

Zhu Xizhong answered, and hurriedly sat opposite Jiajing, an old eunuch brought dishes and chopsticks, and the two of them ate like this, anyway, Zhu Xizhong was a little used to getting along like this.

Jiajing, who is an immortal, does not have clairvoyance and the magic power of the wind, and he can't help but eat the fireworks in the world, and the rice still has to be eaten, the only bad thing is that Jiajing loves to eat vegetarian food and eats very lightly, which makes Zhu Xizhong, who is used to eating big fish and meat, very unaccustomed, but every time Jiajing invites him to dinner, he readily agrees.

And eat it deliciously.

It is not easy to work for Lao Zhu's family, not only to be able to work, but also to have good acting skills.

"The emperor's Taoism has improved again." Zhu Xizhong said with admiration.

This sentence is not a compliment, it is spring, and the spring night in the north is still a little cool, but Jiajing is only wearing a thin robe, and he unties the robe, his body is ruddy, and he is sweating a little, which makes Zhu Xizhong surprised.

I am a martial arts practitioner, and I don't have such a physique.

Jiajing smiled indifferently and said casually: "I am still far from doing this, Aiqing is a false praise." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the emperor is the true son of heaven, not us ordinary people so compared."

"What's been happening lately?" Jiajing listened to these flattering words a lot, and he didn't care, and asked casually while eating.

Jin Yiwei has information sent to Jiajing's imperial case every day, whenever something big happens, Zhu Xizhong will personally report, this is also an opportunity to get close to the emperor, Zhu Xizhong took the initiative to ask to see, Jiajing didn't need to ask to know that there was something he couldn't decide.

Zhu Xizhong hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Weichen doesn't know whether to say it or not?" ”

Jiajing's chopsticks paused, obviously some hesitation, and finally said in a deep voice: "Is it King Yu or King Jing?" ”

Many people who don't know the truth think that the emperor only cares about cultivation and ignores his son, but Zhu Xizhong knows that from the theory that Tao Zhongwen and the two dragons don't see each other, Jiajing deliberately alienated his son and deliberately did not establish a prince, because he was afraid that his "real dragon" would hurt the "hidden dragon".

This is also a kind of protection in disguise.

In the past, he didn't let the courtiers mention it at all, but now he took the initiative to mention it, Zhu Xi's loyalty is as clear as a mirror: this is a signal, the emperor is old, he knows that his body is not as good as before, and he also pays attention to his son, no matter what, after all, blood is thicker than water.

Zhu Xizhong carefully reported: "The new right Chunfang right Yude Zhang Juzheng, intends to recruit students from the people, ready to be Yuwang's accompaniment, it is said that his intention is to let Yuwang understand more about the people's suffering, enlighten Yuwang, it is said that he is ready to enter Yuwang's mansion with an idle position, this move was approved by Xu Shoufu. ”

"Yuwang's temperament, it's not bad for someone to supervise it, who have you picked?" Jiajing asked as he ate.

"Back to the emperor's words, according to the information obtained by his subordinates, Gao Yao, the secretary of the household department, recommended Qian Ming, a person from Huguangju, Yan Ne, a cabinet minister, recommended Sun Shide, a wise man from Nanjing, and Hu Yingjia, a doctor from Zhongwei, recommended Yang Shuangzhi, a hermit from Huai'an, and Zhao Jin, the imperial history of Zuodu, recommended Yu Jin, a young talent from Shaoxing, a total of four people as alternatives."

After that, Zhu Xizhong said with some resentment: "These people are so bold, such a big thing is hidden from the emperor." ”

Jiajing snorted coldly, and said with a wise face: "If you want to hide it, they won't be so blatant, such a fanfare, but I'm afraid that I won't see their hard conscience, which is not only to show loyalty, but also to wait for my attitude, what age are they, and they still do this." ”

Speaking of IQ, Jiajing is definitely an excellent representative of the old Zhu family, he dared to fight against Yang Tinghe before he entered the palace, and then fought against the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty, and won in the battle of great etiquette, neglected government for decades, has been in control of the general trend of the world, tightly controlled the court, Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, Yan Song and others fought back and forth, and finally were played by Jiajing in applause.

This little trick, where can Jiajing be hidden?

"Yes, the emperor's wisdom and martial arts are as wise as a torch, and these tricks will definitely not be able to hide the emperor's eyes."

Jiajing suddenly remembered something, and asked with some curiosity: "What did you say just now, that Yu Jin is still a little showman?" They actually want to use a little show to read Yushu together? ”

There are many talented people in the world, like stars, everyone knows that King Yu is the prince, and he actually uses a show talent to accompany him, isn't it a joke?

"That's right, he is indeed a showman, and he is less than twenty years old, but this son is in the limelight, and Weichen heard his talent in the capital."

"Oh, is there such a thing?"

Zhu Xizhong nodded and said: "That's right, a song is just like the first time I saw it, now many people in the capital call him the first time I saw brother, in addition, he also made a long pavilion farewell song, this song has a more far-reaching impact than the poem, it is not an exaggeration to say that now the north and south of the river, when bidding farewell, he sings his song of long pavilion farewell, men, women and children will sing it, it can be said that it is popular." ”

After that, he deliberately lowered his voice: "This person has become my Jinyi Guard." ”

Is there such a thing?

Jiajing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested.
