It was already midnight when I came out of Li Chengliang's place, and there wasn't much time left before going to work in various ministries in the morning.
After returning home, Mozi, his son and daughter were all asleep. Wujie couldn't bear to wake them up in the cold weather, so he asked the kitchen to make breakfast for himself, and reminded him in the study room with a tea cup.
It was very dark outside, the snow was still falling, and it was silent. The quietness actually made people feel trance-like. In the trance, Wu Jie felt like he didn't know where he was.
Tomorrow is the 29th day of the New Year, and the New Year will be celebrated the day after tomorrow. But Wu Jie had a hunch that Emperor Jiajing might not be able to survive this spring.
Once the emperor dies, he doesn¡¯t know what kind of fate awaits him, nor does he know what unpredictable things will happen.
If King Yu can successfully succeed to the throne, it goes without saying that if he holds the emperor's edict in hand and welcomes King Yu into the palace as soon as possible, he will be the first to follow the dragon.
But if he fails and lets King Jing take the lead, an unexpected fate awaits him. In the past, when he was naked and alone, he was fearless. But now they have sons, daughters, and women. If he falls, their lives will be completely different.
This is the first time Wu Jie feels helpless after traveling to the Ming Dynasty.
In the past, whether it was the imperial examination or handling other matters, he could rely on his super memory and foresight of history to go smoothly.
But this time, history has changed dramatically, and the advantages of being a modern person have disappeared. As for memory, will it be helpful in this battle for inheritance?
Thinking of this, Wu Jie was really confused.
At this moment, the study door opened, and a gust of cold wind blew over.
I saw Mozi coming in with Qiang'er and his daughter in his arms.
Wu Jie looked at them in surprise: "Are you getting up now?"
Before he could finish his words, Qiang'er plopped down and knelt down in front of Wu Jie. Kowtowed three times. He said in a sweet voice: "I wish you a happy new year, daddy. I wish you a happy New Year."
After saying that, he stood up suddenly. For example, Wu Jie stretched out his little hand: "Dad, Mom said you can get lucky money after New Year greetings, so Daddy will give you the money."
"This is¡¡"
Mozi smiled and said: "Master. During dinner, I heard you say that you would go back to Xiyuan at dawn and that the New Year would not be spent at home, so I asked the children to get up early and wish you a happy New Year."
Wu Jie's eyes were wet. He took out a copper coin from his arms and put it in Qiang'er's little hand: "It's for you."
Seeing his wife and children, Wu Jie cheered up and swept away his previous depression: For the sake of his family, he had to work hard this time no matter what.
Compared to King Jing. But my side has many advantages. First of all, I, Wu Jie, stay with Jiajing at all times. If the emperor dies, I will know it immediately. There is also time to arrange. at this point. The advantage is too obvious, the so-called leading step by step.
Wait until the arrangement is completed. Even if King Jing wanted to fight, he would still lose the opportunity.
"Moreover, Qingliu in the court and the three ministers in the cabinet are all members of King Yu. If King Jing wants to ascend the throne, he will not be able to pass this hurdle.
Thinking of this, Wu Jie relaxed and picked up his daughter. He called for breakfast and ate with his family while chatting. After midnight, he took a sedan chair to Xiyuan.
It was still dark, so I looked back at the brightly lit home.
Wu Jie didn¡¯t know when he would come back or under what circumstances.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A step forward to heaven, and one step back to hell.
But he has no fear.
After the sedan traveled for a while, the sky opened dimly and the snow continued to fall.
Many sedan chairs appeared on the street, and they were all officials of the fourth rank and above who were rushing to attend court. It is already the 29th day of the 44th year of Jiajing, and in one day it will be the 45th year of Jiajing.
Unconsciously, it has been six years since Wu Jie traveled here.
"Six short years have been as long as a lifetime. Wu Jie feels that his mentality is already a bit old.
Back to Yuxi Palace, I bumped heads with Huang Jin as usual and asked about Jiajing's condition.
The news given by Huang Jin was not optimistic. Except for the two hours after taking the medicine, Jiajing could stay awake for the whole day.
"Wu Jie didn't wake up the night he left here.
Wu Jie sighed and shook his head: "It seems"
Huang Jin's eyes were also red: "It seems that Long Live the Lord is only a matter of these two days."
"Huang Gong, now is not the time to be sad. You have to make preparations in advance." Wu Jie told Huang Jin about letting Li Chengliang enter Xiyuan.He said: "Huang Gong, what we need most now is a informant and errand boy. The Li family and his son can be of great use. I need your approval for this matter. I will run over to the ministry."
Huang Jin nodded: "That's true. The people I have on hand are all familiar faces. If that happens, I'm afraid it will arouse the vigilance of King Jing and Party Yan."
Seeing that the morning court time was over, Wu Jie didn't bother to sleep, so he went to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War and finally settled Li Chengliang's matter.
By noon, Li Chengliang received the letter and brought Li Rusong, Li Rubai and Li Rumei in. Wu Jie pretended not to recognize them and did not say hello to him.
By noon, Jiajing woke up after taking medicine and drank some porridge. It was said that it was bland and tasteless, and some solid hard vegetables were served. Huang Jin had no choice but to bring a plate of small steamed buns. Jiajing was probably hungry, so he ate them all like a whirlwind, and then listened to Wu Jie read a passage from "Xingdu Chronicles" ", King Jing came to say hello.
Jiajing seemed to be in very good spirits today. He even chatted with his son for about half an hour, with a hint of rosy on his face.
Seeing that his father was so affectionate to him, King Jing was very proud. He would look at Wu Jie fiercely from time to time, his eyes full of disgust.
Wu Jie couldn't care less about his unhappiness. He suddenly had a bad feeling: Jiajing was going to die.
¡°Otherwise, I looked so ill in the past two days, but today I had a great appetite, ate so much, and talked to King Jing for such a long time.
Sure enough, not long after King Jing left, Jiajing said, "There is something wrong in my heart."
Then he lowered his head, said "Wow!" and spit out all the food he had just eaten.
This vomiting made him sweat all over his head. Looking at his neck, there were also stains of sweat.
Then he tilted his head and fell asleep.
This surprise was no small matter. Naturally, there was a huge chaos in the palace. It took a long time to help the emperor onto the dragon bed.
Jiajing¡¯s situation this time did not last for two hours, and Wu Jie felt something was wrong.
"Mr. Huang, what do you think?"
Huang Jin shouted back, then cried desolately: "Long live Lord, long live Lord, I'm afraid it's not possible. It's already the moment of death. I've been in the palace for so many years, and I've seen a lot of dead people. This person is about to die. As usual, there will be hairy sweat all over the body, which is the leakage of yang energy. When the yang energy is exhausted long live the Lord it is already the moment of death."
