The sixth year of Longqing is destined to be a year of not peace, with many events that will be talked about by future generations, and also destined the future of some people. Qin Tai and his family also had to be implicated because of these things, and this year was the most exciting year in his life.

After Qin Tai cracked the "Holy Child King" incident, he took his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao and son Xiao'an to prepare to return to his hometown. Because his business is over, he can go home and live his little life in peace. The biggest threat, Xu Jie, has fallen, and Jia Baishun, who is the most wrong with him, will not trouble him anymore. In view of the chaos in the imperial court and the inner palace, Qin Tai had lost interest in serving as an official in the imperial court. I am going to wait for a few years, after the child is a little older, and the court is a little more stable, I will find a way to come out and become an official. He is not afraid of things, nor is he an official fan who must make a comeback, let alone for any gold and silver treasures, but the timing is not right. He also wanted to come out as soon as possible to do practical things for the people, but unfortunately now everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and no one has the heart to pay attention to Qin Tai. Of course, Qin Tai didn't want to become a tool for some people, charging for them and becoming a political weapon.

There is another reason why Qin Tai is in a hurry to leave, and that is for friendship. His two best friends, Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, belong to two different political parties, and they are both leading figures. He didn't want to see these two friends turn against each other, let alone get involved. In order to avoid embarrassment, in order not to participate in it, Qin Tai prepared to return to his hometown immediately.

But things are so unsatisfactory, Qin Tai can't leave if he wants to. When Qin Tai wanted to be an official, Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houxi and Emperor Longqing did not let Qin Tai become an official. Now Qin Tai wants to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but he can't. This is Qin Tai's fate, this is Qin Tai's sorrow.

Qin Tai had just prepared his luggage and was ready to take everyone home. Among them, the happiest are his son Xiao Ping'an and Qin Tai's cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu. Xiao Ping'an was gradually able to babble, and he also knew that this place was not a good place, so he wanted to go home. After experiencing the kidnapping incident, Xiao Ping'an seems to know that this is not his hometown, and always points to his hometown. Zhan Xiaoxiao, a mother, understands what her son means, and the child wants to go back to his home and meet his grandparents. After all, Qiu Xiaoqiu is a half-old child, leaving his parents for the first time, and after experiencing so many things, Qiu Xiaoqiu is really a little scared. For him, he experienced a life and death parting, and Xiao Ping'an was kidnapped in his hands, of course, it will make him a little different. Qiu Xiaoqiu is no longer as arrogant as before, nor is he as proud as before, he finally understands the hardships of his cousin and sister-in-law. He needed to adjust his mentality as soon as possible, and he needed to find a relative to talk to, so he was in a hurry to go home to his biological mother.

Not long ago, Qin Tai's uncle and aunt had returned to their hometown and joined Qin Tai's parents. The old drunkard secretly wrote to the enemies who went to the south, saying that Qin Tai was no longer in any big trouble, and there was no need to rush to settle down in the south. After learning of this incident, the enemy and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, and they went directly back to their hometown in Shanxi. After all, there are still Qin Tai's parents in their hometown who are anxiously waiting, and they need to get news from their son Qin Tai's family.

Just when Qin Tai and his wife had settled the rent, prepared the carriage, and were about to leave, a group of people secretly came to Qin Tai's residence. The arrival of this group of people immediately made Qin Tai's family confused. Qin Tai and Zhan looked at this group of people and couldn't say a word. Zhan Xiaoxiao glanced at her husband helplessly, knowing that it had become a luxury for everyone to want to leave the capital. Zhan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to hug his son Xiao Ping'an and avoid going to the inner room. It also shows that she is dissatisfied with this group of people and is unwilling to have direct contact with them. At that time, women had no status and were not entitled to participate in the conversation between their husbands and outsiders. But Zhan Xiaoxiao is not an ordinary woman, she is not only a capable woman, but also a fast catcher. Although there is no official appointment from the imperial court, everyone knows that this little woman named Zhan is more capable than the average male catcher combined. Therefore, not only Qin Tai, but even people who are familiar with Zhan Xiaoxiao will invite Zhan Xiaoxiao to participate in the talks.

Qin Tai not only ignored Zhan's small rude move, but also broke Qiu Xiaoqiu's back. There were only a few people in the room, Qin Tai and the old drunkard. Although the old drunkard stayed behind, he didn't seem to want to talk and talk, so he sat alone in a corner and rested against the wall. Qin Tai has been the partner of the old drunkard master for many years, of course he understands what the old drunkard master means, and the old drunkard master is hinting to Qin Tai with his actions, don't get involved in it. It's a pity that Qin Tai has no choice, and Qin Tai also wants to stay out of the matter, but it seems that things can't be left and right by Qin Tai.

Qin Tai invited people to the main room of his rented room, and after everyone came in, Qin Tai closed the door casually. Qiu Xiaoqiu was locked out of the door, Qiu Xiaoqiu didn't complain at all, he and several guards who came to guard the courtyard either openly or secretly. These retinues seem to come from different masters, and not only do they not speak to each other, but they are even a little hostile. This made Qiu Xiaoqiu dare not ask about the origin of these people, and he was even more curious about the people who talked to his cousin inside.

After Qin Tai invited these people inside, he unexpectedly invited a child to be the first, two middle-aged people sat on both sides, a middle-aged man who couldn't understand the age sat opposite Qin Tai, and a man who always kept his head down followed by this child. The child was a little uncomfortable and always held the man with his head down. But the man with the long beard always glared at the child from time to time, and the child was so frightened that he immediately sat still.

These people Qiu Xiaoqiu didn't know, but Qin Tai and the old drunkard master, including Zhan Xiaoxiao, who went into the inner room, all knew who the person was coming. If you say it, you can definitely scare to death the civil and military officials and the general public during the period of Emperor Longqing. If these people hadn't asked for Qin Tai, a strange person, they would definitely not have appeared together. It can be seen that the importance of Qin Tai is a person, and it also proves Qin Tai's strength, so Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao know that they are not good.

This child is the biological son of Emperor Longqing, the current crown prince Zhu Yijun. The two middle-aged men are Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Tan Yan, the new cabinet. The man who couldn't tell his age clearly was Feng Bao, the first eunuch of the Inner Court and the governor of Dongchang. The one who always stands next to the crown prince Zhu Yijun is Zhu Yijun's companion Zhang Gonggong. These people are the closest people around Zhu Yijun except for his biological parents. If there is no accident, these people are all core members of Zhu Yijun's power after he ascended the throne.

Zhu Yijun is the third son of Emperor Longqing and the eldest living son. Since he was a child, he was raised by his parents to become the next generation of emperors, and everyone thought that he would be the prince, the future emperor's heir. For this reason, even his father, Emperor Longqing, had already begun to organize a team for his son and chose a good relationship for his son. Zhang Juzheng is Zhu Yijun's teacher, his authentic master, who is responsible for teaching him to study at a young age. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng has become the person Zhu Yijun respects and fears the most besides his parents. Tan Yan is also an internal teacher of Zhu Yijun, and is ready to teach Zhu Yijun military knowledge in the future. Therefore, Emperor Longqing often let his son meet Tan Lun, and gradually stabilized the relationship between the two. Feng Bao is Zhu Yijun's first big companion, and he almost raised Zhu Yijun by hand. If it weren't for the desire to cultivate power in the celebrant and the East Factory as soon as possible, Feng Bao would not have recommended Gonggong Zhang to be Zhu Yijun's companion. Compared with Feng Bao, the first companion, Father-in-law Zhang is more like Zhu Yijun's nanny-level nurse. Father-in-law Zhang not only followed Zhu Yijun all day long, but also coaxed Zhu Yijun to sleep almost every day. In the mind of Zhu Yijun, who is still a child, the closest person is this father-in-law Zhang. For this reason, Zhang Juzheng, the teacher, has a lot of opinions about Zhang's father-in-law, and thinks that this father-in-law Zhang loves Zhu Yijun too much and almost harms Zhu Yijun's life.

If something big hadn't happened to them, they wouldn't have gotten together. This is not only not in line with the rules of the imperial court, but also in line with common sense. Zhang Juzheng is the second assistant of the cabinet, and he is the biggest political enemy of Gao Gong, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Tan Yan is one of Gao Gong's most powerful assistants, so Zhang Juzheng and Tan Yan are enemies of different camps. Although Feng Bao is not the eunuch in charge of the seal, his position in the inner palace has gradually stabilized. "A gentleman does not make friends with internal officials." It has been the rule of court officials, especially high-ranking officials, for hundreds of years. Although some people secretly had contact with the eunuchs, they would never dare to openly associate with the eunuchs. During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, Li Si, the powerful prime minister, did not dare to openly associate with Zhao Gao, the leader of the eunuchs. This led Zhao Gao to think that Li Si looked down on him, and then took the opportunity to get rid of Li Si. So generally speaking, Zhang Juzheng and Tan Yan will not appear with Feng Bao and Zhang Gonggong openly. In addition, Zhu Yijun is here, generally speaking, ministers cannot interact with the prince who is pro-government, if it were not for the name of Master Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng and Tan Yan would not have been able to see Zhu Yijun at all. They appeared here together, which meant that not only was the matter bigger, but also that Qin Tai was urgently needed to help solve it.
