After Zhang Linkong came to the capital, he knew that Emperor Jiajing did not want to kill him, but the suspicious Emperor Jiajing was not worried about Zhang Linkong. Zhang Linkong is a half-grown child anyway, so he simply showed his image of a local gentleman in the capital. Zhang Linkong pretended to be attracted by the fancy world of the capital, lingered in the theater and the homes of officials every day, and offered to live in the capital for a long time. Because Zhang Linkong is young, and Zhang Linkong's father Zhang Tianshi has just passed away, no one forced Zhang Linkong to marry. Zhang Linkong also found a reason, saying that every generation of Zhang Tianshi in the Heavenly Master's Mansion could not break his body prematurely, so he refused the female sex sent by Emperor Jiajing and others. Since then, Zhang Linkong has lived in the capital, initially living in Zhang Tianshi's own home in the capital, and later arranged to live in the empty palace. Although Zhang Tianshi will not stay in the capital for a long time, he cannot live without his own residence, so Zhang Tianshi has real estate in the capital. Not long after Zhang Linkong moved into his own house, Emperor Jiajing found a reason for Zhang Linkong to move out, and Zhang Linkong was arranged to live in the palace. Nominally, he gave preferential treatment to the newly appointed Zhang Tianshi, but in fact, he imprisoned Zhang Linkong to prevent Zhang Linkong from having too much contact with the outside world. Emperor Jiajing did not dare to live in the palace since the "Renyin Palace Change", and moved out to live in Xiyuan. The imperial palace lost its highest symbolic meaning, ministers no longer came here to go to court, and the imperial palace without Emperor Jiajing was no longer a mysterious place. Because the palace was Emperor Jiajing's home after all, several princes and other vassal kings were not qualified to live in it, so it was empty until Zhang Linkong came.

Zhang Linkong, who lived in the palace, immediately realized the crisis, it turned out that Emperor Jiajing still left some unfavored concubines in the palace, and these hungry women almost lost control when they saw Zhang Linkong, a normal man. Almost every night, someone intentionally or unintentionally approached Zhang Linkong's residence, some sang and danced outside Zhang Linkong's house, and some deliberately approached Zhang Linkong by creating a chance encounter outside Zhang Linkong's house. There are even people who openly seduce Zhang Linkong in an attempt to have a substantive incident with Zhang Linkong. Of course Zhang Linkong didn't dare, these women were all the women of Emperor Jiajing, and if they touched it, it would be a big crime. Although Emperor Jiajing had no intention of killing Zhang Linkong, Zhang Linkong could not give Emperor Jiajing any chance to deal with him. Zhang Linkong tried his best to avoid these women, and even cooked by himself and didn't dare to eat the food sent by the eunuchs and palace maids. Even so, Zhang Linkong still walks on thin ice every day, not daring to be careless and relaxed.

One day, a bold palace maid stripped herself naked and lay in Zhang Linkong's room, and Zhang Linkong walked into his room without knowing it. After seeing this palace maid, Zhang Linkong immediately left the room. But the door was closed from the outside, and Zhang Linkong couldn't open it. At this critical juncture, Zhang Linkong used his own spell to turn himself into nothing, and soon after, Zhang Linkong appeared outside his room. Zhang Linkong took the opportunity of everyone to escape from the scene of the incident in a daze, and finally avoided a crisis. At that time, this matter was immediately known by Emperor Jiajing, who ordered the palace maid and related personnel to be killed while ordering Zhang Linkong to be summoned. Zhang Linkong told Emperor Jiajing that this was just a trick in the spells of Longhu Mountain. Emperor Jiajing became interested in the spells of Longhu Mountain and asked Zhang Linkong to perform spells for Emperor Jiajing to study. Since then, Emperor Jiajing has kept Zhang Linkong by his side, and often studied and discussed Taoism with Zhang Linkong. However, Emperor Jiajing was a moody person and often vented his temper on the people around him for no reason. Not only eunuchs but also Taoist priests can't avoid it, Zhang Linkong has also been beaten and scolded by Emperor Jiajing many times for no reason. Once Zhang Linkong had just come to visit Emperor Jiajing, and Emperor Jiajing didn't know who he was angry with, so he ordered the eunuch to scold Zhang Linkong on his behalf. Another time Zhang Linkong didn't know what he said wrong, and Emperor Jiajing was immediately unhappy and ordered the eunuch to peel off Zhang Linkong's pants and beat him in public. Another time, Emperor Jiajing half-jokingly and half-seriously wanted Zhang Linkong to be the first eunuch Zhang Tianshi, so frightened that Zhang Linkong almost died on the spot.

Zhang Linkong hated Emperor Jiajing not only for these, but also for Emperor Jiajing's serious disparagement of the spells of Longhu Mountain and Zhang Linkong's father. Emperor Jiajing said more than once that Zhang Linkong's father did not listen to his command and forcibly used immature spells, which would lead to the premature death of him, Zhang Tianshi. Emperor Jiajing obviously killed Zhang Linkong's father, but said that it was Zhang Linkong's father himself, who not only shirked his responsibility but also belittled others and elevated himself. It just so happened that Emperor Jiajing was surrounded by eunuchs and Taoist priests who were sloppy and patting horses, and they all blamed Zhang Linkong's father according to Emperor Jiajing's intentions, saying that the magic of Longhu Mountain was worthless. Zhang Linkong has been very respectful and believing in his father and his family's spells since he was a child, and their words almost made Zhang Linkong rush up and fight with these people. Zhang Linkong decided to let Emperor Jiajing and the others see the power of the real Dragon Tiger Mountain spells, and planted the seeds of resentment against Emperor Jiajing and the imperial court.

Although Zhang Linkong is young, he is a descendant of Zhang Tianshi after all, whether it is the study of the Taoist school or the experience of alchemy, spell casting, etc., he is first-class and powerful. Zhang Linkong's understanding and analysis of some things, even Emperor Jiajing and others have to admit that they are more thorough. It's just that Zhang Linkong doesn't believe in alchemy to become an immortal, and he doesn't want to use spells to confuse the world, so he was excluded from his cronies by Emperor Jiajing. Zhang Linkong only has the right to observe and explain, and does not participate in the actual cultivation and production, according to Emperor Jiajing's original words, Zhang Linkong has no fate to become an immortal, and can only be a descendant of Zhang Tianshi.

Zhang Linkong did not give up the idea of attacking and targeting Emperor Jiajing during this time, and he knew many secrets that outsiders did not know. Gradually, a set of plans for Emperor Jiajing and the imperial court was summed up by Zhang Linkong, and Zhang Linkong wanted Emperor Jiajing and the imperial court to have no face, and life was better than death. The master in An Yuan is also An Concubine, who has not only fallen out of favor but also has a daughter that Emperor Jiajing does not know. Outsiders may not know, but Zhang Linkong understands that the reason why this child An Concubine is not public is because there is a reason. First, this daughter's IQ is not good, and the IQ of a child who is only five or six years old will definitely make the royal family lose face. Second, this daughter is actually not the child of Emperor Jiajing. Therefore, Concubine An did not dare to let Emperor Jiajing know about the existence of this daughter. Third, because this daughter is not Emperor Jiajing's flesh and blood, she is not at all like Emperor Jiajing, and Concubine An is even more afraid to let people know about the existence of this daughter. As for whose child this daughter is, this has to start with the origin of Emperor Jiajing.

The first emperor Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao was the only son of Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youji, so after the death of Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, he had no son or younger brother, so he had to set up his cousin Zhu Houxi as the new emperor. Zhu Houxi is the grandson of Zhu Jianshen of Ming Xianzong, the nephew of Zhu Youzhu of Ming Xianzong, and the son of Zhu Youqi, the king of Xingxian. It is considered to be the uncle and brother of Emperor Zhengde, and he is the closest cousin in blood. According to the hereditary system of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's heir was first of all the son of the emperor, that is, the son of the empress and the emperor. If there is no prince, the eldest son will inherit the throne in an orderly manner. If the emperor has no son, the emperor's younger brother will inherit the throne, which is "brother to brother". Zhu Houzhao had neither a son nor a younger brother, so he had to inherit the throne by this cousin. However, this Zhu Houxi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and as soon as he comes up, he wants to be famous and status for his parents. Zhu Youqi died as early as when Zhu Houyu was twelve years old, but Zhu Houyu wanted to give his biological father a posthumous title and let his father be the emperor again. Zhu Houxi also wanted his mother Queen Mother to be the Queen Mother, so that not only could he live in the palace justifiably, but also his status was on an equal footing with the Empress Dowager He, the mother of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde. But this request was rejected by all the ministers and the royal family, King Xingxian could not have the title of emperor if he had not been the emperor for a day, the queen mother was only the wife of a vassal king, and the son could not be the emperor if he was not the emperor without a queen, so he could only be the queen mother and could not die the queen mother. Zhu Houxi saw that everyone did not agree and did not go to the court to become the emperor, which made everyone very embarrassed, which was the famous "great etiquette" incident in history. In the end, everyone agreed to give Zhu Houxi's biological father Xingxian a title of queen, but the queen mother was never allowed to live in the palace as the queen mother. The Queen Mother had no choice but to live in the domain and come to the palace for a period of time every year.

Because Zhu Houxi became the emperor, Zhu Houxi's younger brother inherited the throne of King Xingxian, and every time the Queen Mother came to see her son Zhu Houxi, King Xiao Xingxian also came to the palace to visit his brother Zhu Houxi. One year, Emperor Jiajing fell in love with the palace maid next to his mother, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother gave this palace maid to Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing was kind to this palace maid at first, not to mention that he made her a concubine, and gave her a lot of good things. But then the taste changed, and Emperor Jiajing gradually alienated this concubine, everyone thought that Emperor Jiajing was tired, but in fact, it was because this concubine did something sorry for Emperor Jiajing. King Xiaoxingxian is also the younger brother of Emperor Jiajing, because of his elder brother, he has become very arrogant and domineering, thinking that as long as Emperor Jiajing is alive, he can do anything. King Xiao Xingxian once accidentally met this palace maid who was already an concubine, and King Xiao Xingxian found that this palace maid who used to be by his mother's side Queen Mother was so beautiful, and he was a little moved. It just so happened that Concubine An resented Emperor Jiajing a little, so she had a relationship with King Xiaoxingxian in a daze. Afterwards, Concubine An immediately felt that something was wrong, Emperor Jiajing was a very cold person, if Emperor Jiajing knew about himself and Xiaoxing Xianwang, he would definitely be killed. While keeping her distance from King Xiaoxingxian, she began to think of ways to target. Unexpectedly, An Concubine's plan couldn't keep up with the changes, first of all, after King Xiaoxing Xian got An Concubine, he no longer cherished it, and he had long forgotten about An Concubine. The second is that An Concubine found out that she was pregnant. Emperor Jiajing hadn't come to Anyuan for three months, and if Emperor Jiajing knew that Concubine An had just become pregnant, he would know the problem. An Concubine stole a waist card from everyone and went outside the palace to buy fetal protection and childbirth drugs. This waist card An Concubine has always kept, and finally helped her daughter Ning'er a lot. It may be because she took too much medicine that she gave birth to a child who was not only a daughter but also had intellectual problems. This made An Concubine dare not announce the child's information, it turned out that she was in the mood to give it a try, if she gave birth to a son, maybe Emperor Jiajing would be happy. Now it is not only a daughter but also a daughter with brain problems, Emperor Jiajing will definitely not want it.
