Chapter Ninety-Five: The Seven Years of Jiajing

Seven years of Jiajing.

In March, the city of Beijing is still fluttering with snowflakes, which looks so bleak and clear, and the cold winter has not yet faded.

The people of Jingshi huddled at home, facing the biting cold wind, and instead of recklessly consuming heat on the street, it was better to warm themselves comfortably at home with the stove.

Even the workers preferred to huddle in the building, and no one wanted to withstand the biting cold wind, so the street seemed a little cold and empty, and after a long time, a dark shadow could be seen hurrying by.

However, on this empty street, there is a group of people walking.

There were two people in the center of the procession, a middle-aged man and a young man, one on horseback, who were talking.

"Congratulations to the little grandfather on his victorious return, this battle has beaten the Tartar to the point of losing his armor, I'm afraid I won't dare to make a mistake for a few years!" Yan Song, that is, the middle-aged man, said with a smile.

Compared with other people's restraint on young people, he and Yan Yuan's eldest son seemed to be much more familiar, and the conversation was more casual.

The relationship between the two is very good, although the young man likes to dance with knives and guns, but somehow he and Yan Song are very close to each other, and the two have become a pair of old friends.

"Dayan Khan has long been a chicken and a dog under the attack of my Great Tomorrow soldiers, it is not surprising to defeat him, the battle between Wuzong and the Tatars back then has already lost their last heart." The young man smiled indifferently, as if he did not take this victory to heart.

Fifty thousand against thirty thousand, and finally eight thousand beheaded, one thousand prisoners, such a result seemed to him to have nothing to boast about.

Seeing this scene, Yan Song secretly praised in his heart: With such talent, but humble, it seems that Chen Guogong has a successor!

The goal of the two sides was the splendid Forbidden City, and both of them received the emperor's will to let them enter the Forbidden City, so they traveled together and chatted on the road.

As they talked, they suddenly talked about the current emperor, and when they spoke of him, they both lowered their voices, although there were reliable people all around, it was necessary to be cautious.

"Your Majesty has been very concerned about the matter of cultivation recently." Yan Song said softly:

"He also sealed the Shao Daoist of Longhu Mountain as 'Bingcheng to a real person', leading the entire Taoism, and pampering the day...... The courtiers were quite complaining. ”

"It's not surprising that you're obsessed with monasticism, it's just ...... This is inevitably too early...... "The young man raised his eyebrows in surprise, it is true that he likes military affairs, but he still has basic historical literacy.

In the past dynasties, there were many emperors who were obsessed with cultivating immortals, and even this dynasty, the previous Chenghua, wasn't it?

But most of them are in the twilight of their lives, and because of the fear of death, they will have the idea of asking immortals.

But Jiajing is only twenty years old!

"I don't know." Yan Song spread his hands:

"Anyway, Your Majesty has shown an unexpected interest in the affairs of ghosts and gods, although Your Majesty is still diligent in government affairs, but after that...... It's hard to say. ”

"Little grandfather, Your Majesty's favor for you is obvious to all of us, you might as well persuade him."

"I can't persuade you. Your Majesty today is not the Emperor Yingzong of the past, and I am not my ancestor. The young man said indifferently:

"Your Majesty's intelligence and sensitivity are unprecedented, and his stubbornness is unimaginable to others.

"The best thing is to think of a way to let His Majesty find out for himself, the other party is some deception, then he will naturally relent."

"That's the problem. The other party doesn't seem to be a charlatan...... That Shao Dao man is really capable, and his divine ability makes me a little suspicious, the other party has the protection of the immortal god like us......"

Yan Song seemed to remember something, and said:

"The other party is from Longhu Mountain...... That has also been inherited for thousands of years, is there really someone like the ancestor of our family, can he become an immortal and become an ancestor? ”

"Oh, what ability?" Yan Song's words aroused the young man's interest, and he asked with interest.

"A few days ago, there was a drought in the capital, and His Majesty asked him to ask for rain, but every time he cast a spell, the rain and snow came as scheduled, and now he is called the 'reincarnation of an immortal' among the Jingshi."

The young man was stunned:

"You didn't fool me?"

Yan Song smiled bitterly:

"Of course not, there have been several heavy rains in Jingshi, and the people of the whole city have witnessed it."

The young man was stunned for a moment.

He naturally knew that there was an immortal law, after all, he had grown up with his ancestors, and he had also seen some magical means.

But this person also has the ability to call for wind and rain, which makes him a little surprised.

You must know that before this, he always thought that his ancestor was the only one who won the immortal fate, but he didn't expect it......

The people of the whole city witnessed that it would naturally not be a charlatan.

Don't...... Does the other party really have the corresponding ability?

"If Your Majesty just uses that person to ask for rain, that's it."

"But judging from the recent situation, Your Majesty is indeed more and more favored by that person, I am afraid that if this continues, Your Majesty will be like other superstitious emperors who believe in gods and Buddhas, and in the end use of asking God and Buddha to deal with state affairs."

Yan Song said in a low voice.

Isn't this an inexplicable addition to the imperial court? Power in the hands of the Taoists?

Neither the honorable nor the civil servants would be happy like this.

The young man thought of this as well, and his brow furrowed.

"I really can't do it......" he thought of something, and his voice was lower:

"Since Your Majesty must believe in the words of the ghosts and gods, simply ......"

"Let him have one faith with us!"

"It's better to let the meat rot in the pot."

Yan Song was stunned for a moment, obviously he hadn't thought about it.

But as soon as the other party said this, he suddenly felt-

What a solution!

However, before he had time to think carefully, several people had already arrived under the Forbidden City.

The convoy stopped, and the two men prepared to dismount.

Because it has already arrived at the dismount monument, the bright and flickering "civil and military officials, military and civilians, etc. are stationed in the sedan chair and dismounted" is in front of you.

However, just as the two of them were making a move, a palace man suddenly stood up in the crowd of guards, and he shouted in his sharp voice:

"Your Majesty's dictation, the permission to recruit Yan Yuanmo, the general of Peking University, will not get off his horse when he sees the monument, and ride into the Forbidden City!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the young man and Yan Song both showed surprise, and the guards standing next to them were even more surprised!

Ride into the Forbidden City! No courtier in the Ming Dynasty has ever received such an honor!

The government and the opposition all knew that this young man was favored by the emperor, but they didn't expect it to come to such a point!

Yan Song also turned his head to look at Yan Yuanmo, his eyes were full of questions: What kind of ecstasy did you cast on the emperor?

Yan Yuanmo had calmed down at this time, and he smiled in the face of Yan Song's eyes.

Ever since he showed extraordinary martial arts and the ability to lead troops in a review of the emperor's army in Beijing, the emperor has always been very fond of him, even to the point where he was able to take command at the age of twenty-seven.

Twenty-year-old Jiajing and twenty-seven-year-old Chen Guogongfu young master, maybe this is the appreciation between young people.
