Taimiao, the land of ancestors.

Everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that the appearance of ancestors in a place like Taimiao was a normal and trivial matter.

'Huh? What's the wind? ’

Immortal Jiajing rubbed his eyes slightly.

When he looked at it again, in the middle of this Taimiao, there were six figures that appeared out of thin air.

Especially the three daos standing on the left side, in addition to the different complexions, the appearance is almost exactly the same, and the other three are similar in appearance, but the age is obviously divided into three generations: old, middle and young.

'Pei Yuan Clone Technique! ’

Jiajing Immortal's heart was shocked, and a word popped up in his mind, infinite yearning for immortal dao spells.

He had seen this kind of profound spell from an ancient book that Tao Zhongwen had given him.

In order to speed up their cultivation, cultivators turn one into three, and the old, middle-aged and young practice at the same time, getting twice the result with half the effort.

(Copyright of ancient books: Tao Zhongwen)

Ji Boying turned over slightly, glanced at the three Zhu Di and the three Zhu Gaochi, and frowned, what the hell is this little Zhu Si? Why don't you wear clothes in broad daylight?

'Tsk, it's too small. ’

But this is actually no wonder Xiao Zhu Si.

The other five were all in response to the wind chimes, and they had a few seconds to prepare a little before crossing over.

But Xiao Zhu Si was not prepared at all, it was completely airborne in an instant, and the moment Xiao Zhu Si reacted, his heart chuckled, and the majestic wind dispersed in an instant.

Fortunately, everyone is a man, and Xiao Zhu Si is not as embarrassed as he imagined.

Instead, the eyes of the six people swept over the surrounding scene, sweeping over this Jiajing Immortal.

As the Son of Heaven and the Prince, they are certainly no strangers to the Taimiao.

Old Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi, and Little Zhu Si, the eyes of the three of them instantly fell on their own in that row of gods, and the two big characters 'Chengzu' began, and their eyes were cold in an instant.

As for the three Zhu Gaochi, they searched all over the Taimiao and couldn't find their tablet, and they hated it so much that their back molars were crushed.

It's one thing to hear about it, and it's another thing to see the tablet disappear with your own eyes.

"Senior brothers, can you..."

Jiajing Immortal's face was filled with an excited smile, and when he saw the six senior brothers, he was very interested and took the initiative to greet him.

"No Nima is big."

Xiao Zhu Si was already depressed, and this would be the most angry.

didn't care that he was not wearing clothes, so he swung a fist the size of a sandbag at the Jiajing Immortal who came up, and punched it in the lower abdomen of the Jiajing Immortal, who was shaped like a crane.

'The Immortal Cultivation Realm greets each other like this?! ’

opened his mouth and foamed, and without waiting for the wide-eyed Jiajing Immortal to react, the other five people all made a move.

For such unscrupulous descendants, beat them first.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ji Boying stood beside Jiajing, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and enthusiastically introduced the identities of the three Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi for him.

The moment he heard the names 'Zhu Di' and 'Zhu Gaochi', Jiajing Immortal felt a sigh in his heart.

Zhu Houxi has always been famous among the Ming Emperors for his high IQ, how can he not understand the reason why he was beaten.

However, compared with the matter of changing the temple number, Jiajing Immortal cares more about another point.

'It turns out that the ancestors have secretly cultivated and become immortals! ’

It is truly abominable that no experience has been passed on to the generations at all! ’

"Alright, let's all go back."

Ji Boying glanced at the six people, especially the naked Xiao Zhu Si.

After a moment of silence, he threw a pill at him.

This kid suddenly dispersed his majesty, and if he didn't remedy it in time, he was afraid that there would be problems in the future.

"Immortal Master, this is..."

Xiao Zhu Si looked at the small blue pill in the palm of his hand, and his curiosity was overflowing.

"Fun."

Ji Boying didn't say much, and with a wave of his hand, the six of them disappeared in an instant.

Then, he looked at Zhu Houxi.

"I think you know the reason for the beating now."

"Now, let's talk about the rule of your dynasty."

Ji Boying's face was solemn.

The Jiajing Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty, is a very critical node.

This is also the reason why Ji Boying took Jiajing-Longqing as the dividing point between the second period and the third period when he divided the Ming Dynasty into three periods.

Jiajing Immortal was stunned for a moment, talking about the rule of officials? Shouldn't the next step be to talk to yourself about ascending to immortality?

But since Dao Ancestor said so, Jiajing Immortal still held on to his physical discomfort and listened carefully.

'Huh? Why don't you say it? ’

Jiajing suddenly found that Daozu was standing in place, and he actually stopped speaking.

It's not that Ji Boying deliberately paused, but that there were some minor problems.

"Reminder: Patch Packs Delivered"

"Mandatory update coming soon"

This time, there was no need for Ji Boying to take the initiative to confirm, the light screen in front of him automatically appeared, and a large string of silver codes slid quickly, and the process lasted about three minutes.

When the patch update is over, it is not enough for Ji Boying to check what is in this patch pack.

"Latest Update Package Detected"

"Update"

"Yes" "No"

'Mandatory patching and then updating?' ’

Ji Boying was in the mood of wanting to smash the keyboard, and his mind moved and confirmed "yes".

Again, the silver code is flowing rapidly, and the update package takes twice as long as the patch update just now, and it takes about five minutes to finally complete.

Taking a deep breath secretly, Ji Boying quickly understood the content of the patch and the content of the update.

'What. ’

The main content in this patch pack: Once the space-time namer dies, the corresponding space-time entrance will be closed.

For example, Tianshun time and space, although the blackened Zhu Qizhen has stepped down, Tianshun time and space is still named after his second era name, so the blackened Zhu Qizhen must not be gag, once it is ga, the entrance to this time and space will be closed.

In fact, it's okay, the biggest problem is Hong Xi's time and space, which has been accelerated for half a year, if he doesn't intervene, this Hong Xi's fat life will have three or four months left.

And the main content of the update pack: the Heroic Spirit Summoning function.

'Heroic Summoning. ’

'Bells and whistles. ’

Ji Boying pondered for a moment, and roughly understood what this Heroic Spirit Summoning meant, that is, it could summon people who had died in the current time and space, let them appear in the current time and space, and continue to work.

In other words, the summoning condition is that this person died in the current dynasty, for example, if someone dies in the Jiajing Dynasty, then this person can be embodied in the Jiajing time and space, but not in other time and space.

'This dog system, the dead still have to be squeezed. ’

However, for Ji Boying, this is a good function, for example, he has always been a pity that he can't see the demeanor of Hong Wuchang.

After thinking about it, Ji Boying looked at Jiajing.

"Your cabinet needs to be reshuffled."

Ji Boying didn't say much and went straight to the point.

In Ji Boying's opinion, whether it is Xia Yan or Yan Song, or the latecomer Xu Jie, in terms of governance ability alone, except for Yan Song, a waste who only knows how to pull his son to make money, Xia Yan and Xu Jie can indeed be regarded as in the forefront.

But, this is Jiajing.

At this point in time, what the head of the cabinet needs is not simply the ability to govern, but the courage to accumulate reforms and eliminate evils.

From a historical point of view, the core of all the policies and guidelines of these two people during their tenure as first assistant is to maintain the Ming Dynasty from capsizing and maintaining the interests of the inherent class.

Of course, this also includes their own interests.

Xia Yan didn't say anything.

Even if he single-handedly promoted Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie, Xu Shoufu, who was praised by later generations, the 240,000 hectares of fertile land under his name that were hardened by Hai Qingtian are all clearly recorded.

Let's ask me, even if the first assistant of the cabinet of the current dynasty brazenly took the lead in carrying out land annexation, how could the national government return to the right path.

"Master, the disciple also wants to change, but there is really no one available."

Jiajing's brows furrowed, and there was a hint of helplessness in his expression.

Although he was dedicated to cultivating immortals, before this, Jiajing also thought about strengthening the country and enriching the people, and also wanted to sweep away the maladministration.

After all, he is not Wanli, he is not in the court, but he has never relaxed on the government until his death, and Wanli's complete mess are two completely different concepts.

It's just that with the death of a person, coupled with the occurrence of the Renyin Change, Jiajing completely gave up the path of reform.

That person is Zhang Xuan.

And Jiajing realized that if he continued to make a big deal, it was likely to cause more outrageous, dangerous and desperate murders than the fire in the dormitory and the change of Renyin.

Now that he has hid in the deep palace, where else can he hide.

"People, I'll give you."

Ji Boying's voice fell.

In front of Jiajing, there was an old man with a white beard, condensed from nothingness.

This person's name is Zhang Xuan.

In some books, this idol that Zhang Juzheng admired all his life, the great reformer, was actually written as a narrow-minded villain, who was really black from the inside out, and he really couldn't help but want to tear the book.

Zhang Xuan was a well-known late bloomer in the Ming Dynasty, a forty-seven-year-old Zhongjin Shi, who started with great ceremonies.

The matter of the great ceremony seems to be just a simple matter of name, but in essence, it is actually the ultimate game between the imperial power and the Wenchen group.

Whoever wins, who has the right to speak, will have the initiative in the next step.

Zhang Xuan supports the ceremony.

For him, it doesn't matter what the nature of the ceremony is, what matters is that it is an opportunity to ascend to the top and to show his ambitions.

In the seven years of Zhang Xuan's reign as the first assistant, between three ups and three downs, he carried out extremely thorough reforms to the maladministration of the Jiajing Dynasty.

First, clean up the fields of Xunqi Zhuang; second, remove the eunuchs who guarded the town; Third, crack down on corruption and pervert the law; Fourth, the supervision system should be strictly enforced; Fifth, strictly divide the functions and powers of the factory and the three law divisions; Sixth, reform the disadvantages of the imperial examination; Seventh, correct the title and enshrinement of Confucius; Eighth, reorganize the army's regiments and battalions; Ninth, reuse capable officials to solve the border crisis; Tenth, measure land and simplify the system of servitude.

The ten reforms, coupled with the previous Great Rites Discussion, involved the Ming Dynasty's imperial succession system, official selection system, tax system, national supervision system, government organization system, national defense system and so on.

This change can be said to be the most thorough, three-dimensional and comprehensive system change since the founding of Ming Taizu.

Any one of them is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, a strategy for reforming the old and eliminating the evil, and it is something that Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, Xu Jie, and others dare not think about and dare not do.

Because of this shuffle-style system change, it will inevitably offend all the interest groups in the empire, and the entire elite group of the Ming Dynasty will try their best to kill Zhang Xuan, and it will be difficult to leave a clear name even in later generations.

Cleaning up the fields of the feudal kings and eunuchs is equivalent to making the magnates vomit out what they have eaten in their stomachs.

The eunuchs lost the power to guard the localities, the local administrative system returned to a normal state, and the accumulated shortcomings of the past hundred years were swept away, and the rights and interests of the eunuchs were greatly lost.

After cracking down on corruption and improving supervision, the civilian and bureaucratic organizations have been purged and under the strict constraints of the system, they can no longer accept bribes so blatantly, and their work efficiency has increased substantially.

What made the civil official group even more uncomfortable was Zhang Xuan's reform of the imperial examination, and under the implementation of the law of 'advancing in three ways', the status of officials from Jinshi was reduced compared with before, and raising people and paying tribute has also become a way out, which greatly broadened the way out for low-level scholars.

Under Zhang Xuan's big stick reform, the atmosphere of the entire Jiajing Dynasty quickly improved.

Especially after the reform of the state supervision system and the imperial examination system, the atmosphere quickly changed from the previous impetuous extravagance to shame.

If it can continue and implement the entire Jiajing Dynasty, then Jiajing Zhongxing is imperative, and it is by no means a Zhongxing that only exists in the history books like Hongzhi, but a real reproduction of the glory of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that with Zhang Xuan's death, after conservatives like Xia Yan came to power, all this went down the drain.

Zhang Xuan's style of governance is similar to that of the former Qin Wang Meng, dare to think and dare to do, seize the day, if anyone stops his new policy, that is, the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, and the god blocks and kills the god.

Only this kind of person can forcibly turn the bow back to the right path when a ship goes astray.

Such as Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, and Xu Jie, all they did was to maintain the ship on the wrong path and not capsize, but the deeper the misguide, the deeper the evils, and the more difficult it is for future generations to turn back.

There are often ministers who maintain stability, and ministers who reform are rare in a hundred years.

Because of this, Zhang Zhang's heart for reform has long been known by the civilian-official clique, and the entire civilian-official clique is extremely wary of Zhang Zhang.

Before Zhang Xuan wanted to enter the cabinet, he could not go through the courtiers' meeting at all, so he could only accept Jiajing's decree to enter the cabinet in the contempt of other courtiers.

But Zhang Xuan obviously doesn't care about this, what he wants is to be able to do practical things.

Zhang Juzheng admired Zhang Xuan very much throughout his life, and when compiling the records of Ming Shizong, he wrote: Xu Yongjia (Zhang Zhang) is highly recommended, and his talents and skills are similar, so he likes and admires him.

When Zhang Juzheng came to power, he promulgated a series of new reform policies, including one of the whip laws, to a large extent based on the foundation and strategy of Zhang Zhang's reforms.

And one thing is worth mentioning.

Whether it is Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, or even Zhang Juzheng, a handsome guy who was famous for thousands of years due to reform.

These first leaders of the Ming Cabinet, no matter what they did during their political years, their personal lives were extremely extravagant, and making money one by one was simply a cramp.

When these first assistants were in office, they also opened their mouths to fight corruption and advocate clean government, and the big tigers and small flies turned over one after another, but they never turned against themselves.

But only Zhang Xuan leads by example, honest and honest.

After seven years in Beijing, when he left Beijing, he left with a simple luggage.

has been the first assistant for seven years, and even does not have a real estate or an acre of land in Beijing, this is a famous minister of reform who is worthy of praise from later generations and is dedicated to the public, and he is by no means a villain in a certain book.

History can be joked, but it must not be nonsense.

Moreover, although Zhang Xuan is a civil servant, he never forms a party for personal gain, and everything is official, which is also the main reason why he has always been excluded by the civilian clique.

The lotus comes out of the mud without staining, and will naturally be broken.

At that time, Jiajing promoted Zhang Xuan and trusted him with all his strength, not just because Zhang Zhang supported the ceremony.

After all, the people who supported Jiajing at that time were not only Zhang Xuan alone, but more of the monarchs and ministers cherished each other, more of the monarchs and ministers were single-minded, and more of the ambition to reform the old and eliminate the evils.

"Zhang Fujing!"

When Jiajing saw Zhang Xuan, he was instantly agitated, and he was so frightened that he almost didn't jump up.

At that time, Zhang Xuan asked to change his name in order to avoid Zhu Houxi's character, and Jiajing gave him the name Fu Jing and the word Mao Gong.

Not only Jiajing was stunned, but Zhang Xuan was also stunned.

Looking at the surrounding scenery and Emperor Jiajing in front of him, Zhang Xuan looked confused, thinking that he had already entered the ground? How to dig me out of the coffin!

Just when Zhang Xuan was stunned, a voice came.

"You have ten years to reboot your New Deal and solidify it while grooming your successor."

This new feature, Heroic Spirit Summoning, has a time limit, that is, summoning embodied Heroic Spirits, which can only live for ten years.

The voice fell.

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Ji Boying.

He joined the office at the age of forty-seven, from a second-class jinshi to a petty official, seized the opportunity and became the first assistant of the cabinet in just six or seven years.

In an instant, he understood that the reason why he was able to come back to life was because of the person in front of him.

It's unbelievable!

"Dao Ancestor gave you a new life, and you don't kneel down to thank you."

Jiajing was surprised and felt that this was normal.

After all, Shizun is an immortal god and Taoist ancestor, and resurrecting an individual mortal is not a matter of ease.

'It turns out that there are really gods in the world! ’

Although Zhang Xuan came with Jiajing, he actually didn't approve of Jiajing's cultivation of immortals, after all, he felt that this thing was too nonsense.

But at this moment, he believed.

Plop on, get on your knees.

Zhang Xuan, an old man in his sixties, gave Ji Boying a solid kowtow.

No one wants to die, ten more years can live, and Zhang Xuan did die with regret, because he did not find a successor who could inherit his last wish and carry out the reform to the end.

"It just so happens that the six cabinets of your dynasty are all in the Taigao Xuan Palace, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the day."

Ji Boying glanced at Zhang Xuan and Jiajing.

The words fell, and the figures of the three disappeared from this temple.

……………………

Taigao Xuan Palace, Nine Heavens Thunder Altar.

Xia Yan, Yan Song, and their respective parties, this will already be a quarrel.

After all, I've torn my face, either you die or I die, if you don't distinguish between high and low, you won't be able to go home to accompany your wife today.

Xu Jie silently stood in the crowd and didn't say a word.

His gaze swept over the thunder altar by chance, and his pupils shrank sharply.

He was not shocked by the appearance of Daozu and Jiajing Immortals, but by the man who had died, which made the entire civil official group and the entire elite group tremble and fear in the early years of Jiajing.

He's back.

Xu Jie: 'Fraudulent corpse?! ’
