Chapter 566: Zhang Xuan Er

Jiajing's face suppressed the anger in his heart.

This palace test came to an end in a hurry.

Jiajing didn't say anything at the time, and after going back, he immediately asked Huang Jin to inquire, what is Zhang Zhang's ranking?

But after a while, Huang Jin came back and returned Jiajing Zhang Zhang's ranking to be among the top three.

Jiajing snorted coldly and said, "Really give me face." ”

Jinshi is divided into three grades, the treatment of these three is completely different, generally speaking, the first class directly enters the Hanlin Academy, and the second class needs to take an exam, and then you can enter the Hanlin Academy. The top three are generally issued by the county order.

You must know that the Ming system is different from the previous generation.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, local officials turned prime ministers. In the Ming Dynasty, there were very few magistrates who served as cabinet ministers. This starts with the origin of the Ming Cabinet.

When this cabinet first started, it was a secretarial body with little power. Therefore, a few people were directly selected from the Hanlin Academy to fill the position.

But later, the Hanlin Academy became more and more powerful. But this management is a legacy.

Generally speaking, I don't go to Hallym Academy. You can't get into the Cabinet. Enter the pinnacle of power.

In the Ming Dynasty, the distinction between Beijing officials and local officials was very clear.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan was assigned to a certain county, as a county commander, and then promoted to the prefect, or promoted to the governor, before he died, he was a governor or governors, such as the trilateral general system.

Unless there are special circumstances, there is no possibility of returning to the center of the Ming Dynasty again.

Of course, in politics, the biggest rule is that there are no rules, and the biggest bottom line is that there is no bottom line. At least Yang Tinghe didn't want Zhang Xuan to stay in Beijing now.

Jiajing pondered for a while and said, "Huang Jin, call this Zhang Xuan over, I want to see him, don't let others know." ”

Huang Jin said: "Emperor, there are a lot of eyeliner in the palace. If you want to bring people in, it's a little difficult, and I ask the emperor to give me a day or two. ”

Jiajing said: "Hurry up." ”

How much Jiajing values Zhang Zhang, not really. Jiajing took a fancy to the first person to take refuge in him, not Zhang Xuan.

So Jiajing must let outsiders know that he attaches great importance to Zhang Xuan.

This is the case with the so-called Qianjin City horse bones.

As Huang Jin said, there are a lot of eyeliner in the palace, so to speak. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring, and it is almost impossible to keep it secret in the palace.

Even if you can hide it for a while, it will leak out after a long time.

However, Jiajing still wants to meet Zhang Xuan to see how capable this Zhang Xuan is.

Huang Jin immediately went down and ordered. But after a while, someone in the harem sent a message: "Concubine Shao is sick." ”

Jiajing immediately frowned and said, "How is the concubine?" Without waiting for the palace people to speak, he said, "Needless to say, I will go over." ”

In the entire palace, the only person Jiajing cared about was Concubine Shao.

Without him, Jiajing's mother is still in the fief of King Xing. The harem is inhabited by Zhengde's mother, Empress Dowager Zhang.

For Empress Dowager Zhang, Jiajing has never had a good impression.

Without him, how he got his throne, everyone in the world knows. There are even some rumors of killing the monarch and the like, even if the Empress Dowager Zhang no longer likes the son of Zhengde. No, I won't pay attention to that.

Empress Dowager Zhang and Jiajing are naturally estranged.

There is also a question about the dispute between Jiajing and Yang Tinghe, whether it is the successor or the heir. Among them, the most influential is the Empress Dowager Zhang.

There are many problems, and it is strange that Empress Dowager Zhang can get along with Jiajing.

And Empress Dowager Zhang is not a person who wants to be with her, she can monopolize Emperor Hongzhi and suppress her son from moving out of the palace, can she give Jiajing a good face?

Therefore, Jiajing generally does not go to the harem.

In the entire harem, only Concubine Shao has the best relationship with Jiajing.

Because Concubine Shao is Jiajing's biological grandmother.

Although Jiajing had never met Concubine Shao before coming to Beijing, the family relationship was not fake.

Jiajing came to the concubine, but saw the concubine lying groggily.

There was a physician next to him who was carefully examining the pulse.

Jiajing waited for the imperial doctor to finish his pulse and asked, "How is the concubine?" ”

The imperial physician said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the concubine's eye disease is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no cause for it, and she is suddenly indifferent, not painful or itchy. And in the little beads, there is a hindrance, which is blue and white, and though they do not distinguish between things, they still know the three lights of light and darkness. This disease is getting worse day by day, and I am afraid that the concubine will go blind. ”

Jiajing frowned, and wanted to reprimand, but the words came to his lips and swallowed again, he now has a shallow foundation in the court, and it is the time to buy people's hearts, so he said in a harmonious voice: "Good life heals." If there are any good herbs, use them all. ”

The Imperial Physician said, "Yes." ”

Concubine Shao's eye disease is actually a cataract. What can be done with only a minor operation in modern times is an incurable disease in this era.

"Is it the Emperor?" Concubine Shao's eyes are sick, her eyes are not very good, but her ears are much more sensitive, and when she heard the movement, she hurriedly asked.

"It's the child, are you feeling better, concubine?" Jiajing hurriedly stepped forward and supported Concubine Shao, who wanted to get up.

Huang Jin's eyes were quick, so he put a pillow on Concubine Shao and waved gently to the imperial doctor. The Imperial Doctor naturally knew what was going on, and left here on tiptoe.

Concubine Shao sat down on the pillow and said, "I'm old. Time is running out. What's so good or bad. It is already a great blessing to be able to see your grandson ascend the throne and become emperor alive, and I don't want to have more. ”

"How can the concubine say such a thing, I still want to give the concubine the title of queen mother." Jiajing said.

"What honorific title is not honorific, I'm so old, what else do I have to worry about. It's just one thing that I haven't been relieved about, and I want to tell His Majesty. Concubine Shao held Jiajing's hand and said slowly.

Jiajing said: "Concubine, please speak, I will agree." ”

Concubine Shao said: "King Yong has already traveled to the South Seas, can Your Majesty let him go?" ”

Jiajing's face froze.

Yang Tinghe is his immediate worry, and King Yong is his heart disease. As an emperor, whenever he saw the territory of Dongyong on the map, he felt uncomfortable.

In fact, he didn't think that all the maps he had seen were drawn by Zhengde after Zhu Houhuang proposed them.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, King Yong is also your cousin. Moreover, King Yong is already far away in the South Seas, and he will not come to Middle-earth again, so there is no threat to His Majesty. Just let King Yong, or else, just take Dongyong as a foreign vassal, I will ask King Yong to pay tribute every year, and come to the court every year. ”

Affection between people needs to be cultivated.

Although King Yong and Jiajing are both the grandsons of Concubine Shao, Zhu Houhuang grew up in Beijing since he was a child, and he met Concubine Shao a little more.

So I took a special fancy to Zhu Houhuang, when Zhu Houhuang went out of Beijing to Dongyong, Concubine Shao took out all her private money and gave it to Zhu Houhuang. Although Jiajing, as the emperor, is often by his side. But in Concubine Shao's heart, Jiajing couldn't compare to Zhu Houhuang for a while.

Jiajing was very dissatisfied with this, but it was not easy to say anything to an old lady, let alone that this old lady was his blood grandmother.

"I know, as long as Brother Yongwang doesn't go back to the Central Plains. I don't care about him. Jiajing said. As for what Jiajing thought in his heart, it was another matter.

"That's good, that's good." Concubine Shao said: "Seeing that your brothers are getting along, even if I go, I can rest assured, your father and King Yong's father have had a very good relationship since childhood, and I don't ask you to think like the two of them, but you don't need to be forced to be forgiving and forgiving." ”

"I see." Jiajing slowly stroked Concubine Shao's hand, "Don't worry, Concubine Tai, I won't embarrass Brother Yongwang." ”

Empress Dowager Shao was very happy and chattered for a while, but the old man was not in good spirits, and he was a little tired when he spoke.

Seeing this, Jiajing persuaded Empress Dowager Shao to sleep. Get up and leave slowly.

When Jiajing left Concubine Shao's bedroom, her face suddenly became extremely gloomy. Jiajing secretly said in his heart: "King Yong, King Yong, everyone values King Yong, but not me." ”

Zhengde would rather die than pass the throne to him, and even his own grandmother likes King Yong more than him. made Jiajing very angry.

Concubine Shao didn't know what he said, but instead of doing it well, it had the opposite effect.
