Zhao Jin made a lot of contributions in the action of overthrowing Yan Song, and several of the officials who acted as pioneers were all people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, however, as Xu Jie's ally, Zhao Jin did not gain too much benefit in this edict turmoil.

Maybe there are too many protégés of Xu Jie's allies and they ignore this good fellow countryman.

At this time, Zhao Jin had predicted Xu Jie's future, but he chose to watch from the sidelines, but he was very fond of Yu Jin, which showed that he valued Yu Jin very much.

Seriously, Zhao Jin is Yu Jin's guide and half of the teacher, which is Yu Jin's word, and it is also given by Zhao Jin.

Yu Jin was grateful, and after thanking him again and again, he rode on his horse and prepared to send one to Zhu Xizhong.

made thousands of snowy moon cakes in one go, Yu Jin decided to give one to everyone he knew, anyway, this thing doesn't cost money, and it can show his heart, friends, you have to move around more, and the relationship and friendship can be maintained.

Before arriving at the Guogong Mansion, Yu Jin suddenly had to make way for a special convoy.

This convoy was not a relative of the emperor or a prince or minister, but a group of prisoners in prison clothes with empty eyes:

"Give way, give way, Jinyiwei does something"

The two fanzi shouted in front to open the way, and the people avoided one after another, and Yu Jin didn't have much to do, signaling Zhang Ben to step aside and let the prisoners pass first.

When the convoy approached, Yu Jin was surprised when he saw it clearly, there were more than 30 prisoner cars, there were men and women, old and young, many women were locked in the prison cars with their children, adults and children were crying, and they looked pitiful.

Jin Yiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, specializing in handling cases that the emperor personally intervened, what did these people do, shocked the emperor, and the whole family was arrested by Jin Yiwei?

There is no need for Yu Jin to ask, just get the answer from the comments of some passers-by:

"What kind of people are so unlucky. Alarm Jinyiwei? ”

"Pitiful, the old man and the child don't let go, and if you enter the edict of Jinyiwei, can you still live?"

"Hmph, you pity them, do you know who they are? They are the descendants of Tao Zhongwen and Shao Yuanjie. It's just that they bewitch the emperor, and they are fasting and repairing the palace, without them, we will be so bitter? ”

"Yes, yes, they don't do any less things."

"I have a relative's daughter, who was selected to go into the palace to collect what nectar, it was the idea of the surname Tao, poor baby. In the end, he was tortured to death, and I heard that he was less than fifty pounds when he died. ”

Everyone said a word, I said a word, and finally changed from sympathy to condemnation.

Tao Zhongwen and Shao Yuanjie are both Taoist priests favored by Jiajing, they enjoyed wealth and wealth during their lifetimes, and after their deaths, they were not only posthumously sealed, but also benefited their families, and now Longqing and Xu Jie's chaos is set right. Wang Jin's uncle and nephew, one was tortured by A Furong to three points. Seven points are like ghosts, life is better than death, and the other was executed by Ling Chi, even the Taoist priest in the palace was also put in prison.

During Jiajing's reign, he was obedient to Tao Zhongwen and Shao Yuanjie, and he was highly rewarded. I don't know how many benefits they have been rewarded, they have fields and shops, and they have long been fattened, and if they kill them, they can increase their fame and get benefits.

Why not?

Yu Jin sent snowy mooncakes to Zhao Jin. In addition to letting him taste it, he also asked him about state affairs, and through Zhao Jin, he also knew the reason why Longqing was in a hurry to implement the ban on opening the sea.

In addition to Xu Jie's dedication to implementation, it is mainly for money.

After Longqing took the throne, he ordered all ministries to count the personnel and inventory, that is, to see how much inheritance Jiajing left him, and the new household department Shangshu Ma Sen gave a set of heavy figures: the annual income of the Taicang treasury is only 2,014,100 taels, the annual income of the capital is more than 1,350,000 taels, and the border salary is more than 2,360,000 taels, plus the expenses of repairing roads and cleaning up rivers, the gap is more than 3 million taels.

This gap can be seen as a fiscal deficit.

Soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, he stopped fasting and Jiao, stopped material procurement, pursued the wealth of criminal ministers, and heard that he was also preparing to reduce and clean up the officials who were abusive in the inner government.

Even the emperor's private treasury is only a few hundred thousand taels of silver.

Yu Jin felt a chill in his heart, this is a son of heaven and a courtier, thinking about how favored Tao Zhongwen and Shao Yuanjie were back then, but once they changed an emperor, they were immediately purged.

They don't have to die, but most of the family property can't be saved, and if they have the opportunity, they have to leave themselves a way back.

"Young master, young master, are you okay?" Seeing that Yu Jin was a little distracted, Zhang Ben on the side hurriedly reminded.

"It's okay, keep walking" Yu Jin came back to his senses, gently smacked the horse, and rode forward.

The Mid-Autumn Festival of Jiajing 45 years, more lively and grand than in previous years, according to the old practice, officials have a day off, they can visit relatives and friends, and they can also reunite with their families, this year because the new emperor Longqing ascended the throne, the new personnel and new atmosphere, Longqing also has the heart to sweep away the haze left by Jiajing's death, ordered a two-day holiday, and let people make a large number of moon cakes, distributed to the people.

The bones of the first emperor are not cold, it is not appropriate to celebrate extravagantly, and it is okay to have fun with the people, invite the ministers of the DPRK and China, eat cakes and admire the moon to contact feelings, and discuss state affairs to make suggestions for the Ming Dynasty.

On the fifteenth day of August, before the unitary time arrived, the Yu Mansion was already in chaos.

"Qing'er, look, how am I wearing this dress?"

"Back to the old lady's words, this dress fits so well, at a glance, I thought it was those young women."

"You Nizi, just have a sweet mouth, I'm too old to walk."

"Xiao Man, what do you think of this hairpin given by my brother?"

"Xiao Mu, did you say that the pink shoes match?"

"Ah, I'm sweating, help me touch up my makeup."

"Yes, miss."

Hearing the sound in the room, Yu Jin and Zhang Ben on the side looked at each other, and then there was a trace of helplessness and a wry smile on their lips.

"Brother Zhang, what time is it?" Yu Jin couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Ben looked up at the position of the sun, and soon had an answer: "It's about a unitary hour." ”

When the old lady and the little sister heard that they had entered the palace, they began to prepare to dress up from the second moment of Shen Shi, changing clothes, matching jewelry, lipstick, hairstyling, etc., Xiao Man and Xiao Mu were too busy, even Qing'er was also pulled to help.

Now the reason is very simple, Qing'er dresses very decently on weekdays, and has her own set of opinions on the matching of hairstyle and jewelry.

It's been almost an hour before it's finished, and Yu Jin is a little speechless.

The two in front also said that they had never been to the palace, and they would go in early to visit this time if they had the opportunity, and Yu Jin also agreed, so they let people set up the carriage and wait early, but they didn't want the two to say that, but as soon as they dressed up, they forgot the time, so that Yu Jin and Zhang Ben waited until their legs were sore.

Although it was said again and again that it was just a light meal and dressed appropriately, the old lady and the little lady felt that dressing up badly had a bad impact on Yu Jin, so they dressed up again and again.

Seeing Zhang Ben's somewhat helpless face, Yu Jin comforted him and said, "Brother Zhang, take it easy, don't be in a hurry." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry" Zhang Ben wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "I accompany my mother to go shopping on weekdays, it's the same way, I'm used to it." ”

It seems that women love beauty, and that is throughout the ages.

After waiting for a while, Yu Jin saw Qing'er walking out, and hurriedly asked, "What about my mother and Xiaoyu, are they ready?" ”

"It's almost over, I was sweating in the heat just now, Xiao Man and Xiao Mu put a face on them, and they can set off after finishing it."

Yu Jin glanced at Qing'er, who was wearing a Confucian skirt, with a beautiful face and elegant temperament, and suddenly said, "Miss Qing'er, why don't you also change your clothes and enter the palace together in a while." ”

"Into the palace?" Qing'er Yu waved her hand lightly and said: "Forget it, the emperor only invites the young master's family, and the subordinates are not allowed to enter the palace." ”

"The palace is very beautiful, this time the emperor held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, there must be a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, don't you want to taste it? I think that as long as Yu opens his mouth, it is not difficult to bring someone in. Yu Jin said confidently.

Qing'er refused without thinking about it: "Forget it, I'm afraid that there will be no blessings, young master, the opportunity is rare, then you eat more." ”

After that, he ignored Yu Jin and walked straight away.

Yu Jin looked at Qing'er, and thought for a while: ordinary people, when they heard that they had the opportunity to enter the palace to see, they didn't know how happy they were, they were their own mothers, and they had always been indifferent, but as soon as they heard about entering the palace, the whole person became excited, and when they had the opportunity, they pulled themselves to ask questions, as if they were interested in how the emperor walked, full of curiosity, and shouted that the palace had a dragon vein, and he wanted to be more extravagant or something.

Why isn't this Qing'er interested?

Not only was she not interested, but she was even a little disgusted by her look.
