- Hu Yuanyu: "What's the matter?"
Xu Wei slowly said: "As for Buddhism and Taoism, according to our Confucian view, we just ignore it. Although we don't believe in it, we are in awe. The so-called red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots, the three religions are originally one family, and they should be tolerant to each other. However, the DPRK still Some ministers have come forward to ask Long Live to reflect on the mistake of indulging in mystical cultivation. Some even said that once His Majesty has passed through eternity, all the monks will be expelled and the construction of all palaces and temples will be stopped."
"What, how could this happen?" Hu Yuanyu suddenly became nervous: "Who is it? Who is it?"
"Who else could it be? It's just a few of the current pavilion elders. Long live the tens of millions of dollars spent on building the palace, which has already attracted complaints from Lu You. One more thing, Taoist priest Hu, don't forget" Xu Wenchang paused deliberately.
"What's up?"
Xu Wei: "Prince Yu does not practice Taoism. Concubine Li often goes to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha."
"Ah!" Hu Yuanyu stood up suddenly and exclaimed: "I have forgotten this incident."
Yes, the Hu family and his son are only as successful as they are today because of the favor of Emperor Jiajing. Seeing that Jiajing had only a few years to live, if he died and another emperor was replaced, their status would plummet.
After tasting the taste of power, how could Hu Yuanyu give up?
It took our father and son twenty years to get through this, and we definitely can¡¯t just let it go!
Hu Yuanyu clenched his fists fiercely.
¡¡
With the Chinese New Year just around the corner, the heavy snowfall for many days finally stopped.
As soon as the sky breaks, there is a red sun hanging high in the sky.
The sound of firecrackers was faintly heard in the city, and the atmosphere of the New Year became stronger and stronger.
Wu Jie has had a headache these past few days, and it's not because of Hai Rui. This guy is a tough guy with a weird personality, and is not an easy person to get along with.
Ask him to write an apology note. It is impossible for Jiajing to have a step to climb down.
About this. Wu Jie didn't have any idea. As far as he knew, according to real history, Jiajing would die within a year. Jiajing died. Hai Rui will be released by King Yu who ascends the throne.
Master Hai will only stay in prison for a few more months. He will naturally be unscathed by then, and it will be treated as if he has repaired himself in seclusion.
What Wu Jie needs to do is to deal with it casually. Delay this case.
Speaking of which, he did a good job in this matter. The reason was that Hai Rui didn't like Wu Jie at all. As soon as he opened his mouth, Hai Rui cursed loudly, and then started a long speech. Wu Jie couldn't resist it, so he had to quietly retreat, leaving the trouble to Zhao Zhenji.
But it was this old Zhao who made Wu Jie's head as big as a fight. Mr. Zhao was originally the leader of Qingliu. Everything must be won or lost.
At the beginning, Zhao Zhenji felt that Hai Rui was doing the right thing by writing the letter, and she still had some respect for Hai Rui in her heart. He also followed the etiquette of being a minister. Advise Hai Rui to plead guilty.
But don¡¯t want to. Hai Rui became more energetic and started arguing with Zhao Zhenji.
The focus of the debate is which one is more important, the king, the ministers, or the country. What are the etiquette and duties of ministers?
"Both of them were Jinshi scholars and were very knowledgeable. The debate was endless and turned the Beiya Tianlao into a sutra banquet.
For the north of Beiyi, the quotation of these two people is simply Mars. If you do n¡¯t understand, you do n¡¯t understand.
This fight lasted for several days, and it seemed that there was no winner in the short term.
Wu Jie felt that it was inappropriate to continue such a quarrel, so he stepped forward to persuade him, but he was scolded by Erre at the same time, which made it boring.
When Wu Jie got up early this morning, when he thought about meeting these two people again, he felt agitated for no reason, and he was a little reluctant to go there.
After lingering at home for a long time, I couldn't bear the urge, so I reluctantly went to Xiyuan, planning to go to the emperor to be on duty first, and then make an appointment with Mr. Zhao to go to Beiya.
Speaking of which, Wu Jie hasn¡¯t been here since he took over the Hai Rui case, and he hasn¡¯t seen the emperor yet!
"Qi Jiguang's move to Liaodong has been approved by the cabinet, and the emperor has personally approved it. After the New Year, the official move will begin.
As for the salaries of officials owed by the imperial court, King Yu was also a capable man. He did not know where he borrowed 300,000 taels of silver and finally made up for the money owed.
The political situation at the end of the 44th year of Jiajing's reign was temporarily stable, as if the incident of hundreds of officials breaking into the palace had never happened.
Mozi is a strange person. He wants Wu Jie to stay here all dayYou can't see him doing anything around him.
When they arrived at Xiyuan, they saw Chen Hong rushing over: "Master Wu is here. His Majesty is about to send someone to report to you. Please put the case at hand aside for now. There is a decree."
Wu Jie and Chen Hong had completely turned against each other now, and they said businesslikely: "So it's Eunuch Chen. I wonder what your Majesty's will is?"
Chen Hong said with a straight face: "His Majesty asked you to stop doing anything and concentrate on compiling "Xingdu Zhi" in Yuxi Palace."
The so-called "Xingdu Chronicles" is actually a local chronicle. The name of Xingdu was later changed to the fiefdom of Emperor Jiajing's father. It was originally called Anlu, but later it was called Chengtian and then changed to Xingdu. The land of Longxing is where the emperor comes from.
The designation of this place as the Land of Longxing had to start with the accession of Emperor Jiajing to the throne. Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty should be passed on to his son, but Emperor Zhengde had no descendants, so his cousin Zhu Houcong succeeded him to the throne, which is when Emperor Jiajing came to power.
This raises the issue of hereditary throne. If Zhengde¡¯s father, Ming Xiaozong, is regarded as Jiajing¡¯s Huang Kao, and Huang Kao is the emperor¡¯s father, then what becomes of Jiajing¡¯s biological father?
If Jiajing¡¯s biological father is considered the emperor, then Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty will become the emperor¡¯s uncle.
A big problem arises here, which is the great etiquette in history.
Great etiquette was the number one political topic during the Jiajing period. Everyone made a fuss about it vigorously for three years. Finally, they succumbed to Emperor Jiajing and designated Prince Xing as the imperial examination. This means declaring that Emperor Jiajing inherited the throne from his father, not from Zhengde.
Because of this, the compilation of "Xingdu Zhi" has special significance. It is a flattering cultural project for the imperial court to please Jiajing.
Unlike ordinary local chronicles, this book has too strong a political meaning.
"This book seems to be compiled by Zhang Ge, right?" Wu Jie couldn't help but ask: "It has been compiled for almost a year. It requires a lot of effort to collect local historical materials, to save the essentials, to tailor the materials, and to consider the words and sentences. Kungfu, besides, I am not familiar with the local chronicles of Xingdu, why did your Majesty think of asking me to compile it, what should Mr. Zhang Ge do?"
In fact, Zhang Juzheng's compilation of "Xingdu Zhi" was recommended by Xu Jie. Firstly, Zhang Juzheng had a profound academic background, worked in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and presided over the compilation of "Yongle Dadian", so he was suitable for this job; secondly, Zhang Juzheng was well-educated and had worked in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years. Come on, this matter was originally a good thing to gain political capital. Xu Ge asked Zhang Juzheng to do it because he wanted to help him gain political status.
¡° Now it¡¯s Wu Jie. If Zhang Juzheng finds out, I don¡¯t know what they will think.
Doesn¡¯t this offend people?
Almost instantly, Wu Jie thought that this was done by Chen Hong as a vicious plan to divide himself and Prince Yu's palace.
But then I thought about it, this kind of clever plan was not something Chen Hong, a good guy, could come up with. Besides, this book is so important that without Jiajing's approval, nothing else can be said.
Sure enough, Chen Hong said coldly: "This is His Majesty's will. How could our family know about it? Just go and ask the Lord Long Live yourself."
After saying that, he walked away.
Wu Jie was even more confused. For him personally, although compiling this book could gain great political benefits, for him it was just the icing on the cake and would offend Zhang Juzheng.
Why the emperor did this is worth thinking about.
Entering Yuxi Palace, Wu Jie immediately felt something unusual inside.
There were more eunuchs than before, and they all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. When they met Wu Jie, they conducted a strict search as usual.
There are still sword-wielding warriors standing outside the palace gate.
Arriving at the monastery where Emperor Jiajing lived, his nose caught a strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine, which was different from the scent of sandalwood and ambergris that filled the house in the past.
And Emperor Jiajing was lying on the bed, motionless, as if asleep.
This is very different from his previous image. In Wu Jie's mind, this emperor seemed to have never laid down. Either he was dealing with official duties or sitting cross-legged on the futon to meditate and recuperate. The bed was just a decoration to him.
Wu Jie saw a eunuch carrying a bowl full of decoction carefully walking to the bedside, and then slowly bringing it to the mouth of Emperor Jiajing who was leaning on the bedside.
Under the dim light, Jiajing leaned over and took a big sip first, then stretched out his hands like dry firewood to take the medicine bowl, took a deep breath, and drank the large bowl of medicine in one gulp.
With the sunlight shining into the room, Wu Jie finally saw Jiajing's face clearly and was immediately shocked.
The emperor¡¯s face was so dry that there was no luster at all, and even the shiny black hair and beard were withered and a little gray.
?As for the two exposed arms, they were even more skinny, covered with green and red spots, and the skin was also loose.
It seems that the emperor is ill, and he seems to be very ill.
This thought flashed through Wu Jie's mind, and he suppressed it.
It seems that the historical records are correct. Jiajing only had one year to live. His body had completely decayed in the process of taking the elixir for many years, and his vitality was about to be cut off.
It is estimated that he is also aware of this, otherwise, with his temperament, how would he be willing to take the decoction.
In the past, when I was sick or in pain, a pill would take care of it. When you are seriously ill, you should stay away from the valley for two days and meditate to practice your Qi. After a few days, you will be fine.
Although he had been mentally prepared and knew that Jiajing would not live long, after two or three years of getting along with him, Wu Jie still felt a little sour in his heart and his eyes were red. He strode forward, took the wet cotton towel from the eunuch's hand and wiped the emperor's lips and beard: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is very good."
Jiajing¡¯s eyes were filled with haggardness: ¡°It turns out to be Wu Aiqing.¡±
He struggled a few times and pointed at the eunuch beside him: "Hel me up and wash me up."
