The Divine Decree has arrived!

These three words are undoubtedly extremely weighty, and no one dares to take them lightly. The hall, which had been full of emotions and eager to sign autographs, fell into silence as soon as they heard the decree.

These are all high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not too unfamiliar with the holy decree, so they are naturally not at a loss. It's just that they maintain respect and humility in their hearts, and their eyes all fall on Wang Bai, and no one dares to run out directly over Wang Bai.

"Ladies and gentlemen, put aside the signatures in advance, and let's go to meet the decree first!" Wang Bai looked at these sensible and obedient officials with satisfaction, and said with a calm expression.

"Good! Good! Everyone's original intention was to stammer with him, and they naturally agreed to his arrangement, and took the initiative to let Wang Bai walk in the front, so everyone respectfully followed.

The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient!

When an upright old official saw this, he shook his head.

The eunuch who announced the decree had already led the two little eunuchs to stand on the steps of the courtyard, holding a whisk in their right hand and Huang Chengcheng's holy decree in their left hand, looking arrogant.

"Grandpa Chen!" Wang Bai followed this father-in-law and said hello with a smile. He is different from those Qingliu officials, and he also respects these eunuchs.

Gonggong Chen nodded lightly in response, then held the holy decree high, and said in a solemn tone: "Lord Wang, prepare to receive the decree!" ”

"Wang Bai, the political envoy of Guangdong Province and the patrol of the sea road, received the order, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" When Wang Bai learned that the holy decree was passed on to him, he was also overjoyed, and led the officials behind him to kneel in front of Gonggong Chen.

Since he was in charge of helping the saint purchase ambergris, his relationship with the saint was undoubtedly close. Every time you put on ambergris, you will always get some commendation, and even a gift.

Now, it is probably because of the shortage of ambergris in the palace, so the saint ordered him to purchase it. It was perfect, and he presented the ambergris he had just received from Calenelle, and it was bound to please the saints, and even more to be rewarded.

"Boy, the gods can't save you, aren't you going to hell!"

Suddenly, he thought of the plan of "killing chickens and making an example of monkeys", and he was suddenly happy. As for the impeachment of Lin Haoran, he was only seventy percent sure before, but now he is completely sure.

He knew that the saint was a person with clear rewards and punishments, and all the officials who wrote well in the green words were promoted, and he was promoted to the third level by finding ambergris officials who were less than two taels.

Now he sent three taels of ambergris in his hand, and he summoned more than half of the officials in Guangdong to impeach Lin Haoran, even if Lin Haoran had three heads and six arms, he could not escape the catastrophe.

Gonggong Chen's voice was slightly sharp, but he gritted his teeth and read very clearly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Wang Bai, the political envoy of Guangdong and the deputy envoy of the sea patrol, has been conscientious and conscientious since he was ordered to purchase ambergris, and has gained a lot, but it is inevitable that he will be exhausted when he holds two positions, and he will be removed from the post of sea patrol now, and he will specialize in administrative affairs in the future. ”

Yes?

The official kneeling on the ground also ignored the rudeness, and immediately raised his head suddenly, with an incredible expression on his face.

This decree seemed to be sympathetic to Wang Bai and lighten the burden of his work. It's just that no one is a fool, and this removes Wang Bai's position as a sea patrol, Wang Bai is simply a tiger with his teeth plucked.

The most important thing is that Wang Bai is no longer responsible for purchasing ambergris for the emperor, which is undoubtedly a strong signal of losing the grace of the saint, and this is the most fatal blow.

Why did everyone run to hug Wang Bai's thigh at the risk of offending Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, it was not because he had the big weapon of "Holy Grace", and he was the person in charge of purchasing ambergris for Shengshang.

Now that the post of patrol has been taken away, and he no longer shoulders the mission of purchasing ambergris, Wang Bai is no longer just an ordinary political envoy, and he is not even as good as an ordinary political envoy.

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Wang Bai who was kneeling at the front. Although there is a little sympathy, but more thinking about how to draw a line, knowing that this person's career is probably over.

"God, you're kidding me, aren't you?"

Diao Laixi's whole body froze, and his heart seemed to sink to the bottom. He had already made up his mind to abandon his mentor Wang Fang and throw himself into Wang Bai's command, but he had just climbed the big tree, but the big tree collapsed with a bang.

"How so! How so? ”

Wang Bai was kneeling there looking forward to the future, but he heard this thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the whole person was stunned. His eyes widened, and he looked up at Gonggong Chen in disbelief, unable to believe that all this was true.

Ever since he accidentally found a little ambergris on the Franc man, learned what they called ambergris, and possessed such a precious thing, his good days have come.

In order to help the saint find more ambergris, he has been working diligently. In order to establish a good relationship with Gallenelle, he almost responds to Gallenel's requests, and even gives away his concubines to play.

It's just that happiness comes and goes even more suddenly.

Without the slightest warning, he was directly thrown into the cold palace and lost the authority to help the emperor purchase ambergris.

He couldn't figure out what was going on, what went wrong. How could the Holy One suddenly deprive him of his authority? Such a strange decree?

One question after another drilled into his head, making his brain a mess and feeling like it was going to explode.

Back in time, a letter passed through the Yamen of the General Administration Department and headed towards the capital.

Wanshou Palace, sandalwood curling.

Emperor Jiajing, who was wearing a blue cloth gossip robe, sat in front of a few cases, his two eyebrows were deeply locked together, and his body suddenly exuded strong anger, and a copy of the book was thrown on the ground, scolding with "waste".

Huang Jin happened to lead people to come in, but when he heard Jiajing venting his anger, when he stopped and led everyone to kneel outside, a palace maid trembled with feat.

Jiajing stopped shouting, took a few breaths, and his anger dissipated a little, looked up at Huang Jin who was kneeling outside, and said angrily: "What are you doing kneeling, get up!" ”

Although the tone was a little unkind, the essence did not mean too much accusation, and Huang Jin was also secretly relieved. He knows very well that "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", and he has never dared to be pampered and arrogant, or so, he, the inconspicuous old man of the palace, has the last laugh.

Huang Jin opened the exquisite porcelain cup, revealing a vermilion elixir, walked up to Jiajing, and respectfully presented it: "Master, the time has come, it's time to enter the pill." ”

Jiajing picked up the pill from the porcelain cup, opened his mouth and put it in his mouth, took the water cup handed over by Huang Jin, and swallowed it. just frowned suddenly, which made Huang Jin immediately nervous.

In just a moment, Jiajing poured another sip of water, the bitter taste in his mouth disappeared, and his brows were stretched, so that Huang Jin dared to put down his hanging heart.

After taking the pill, Jiajing just sat back in front of the case. The effect of the medicine was extremely fast, and his whole body immediately seemed warm and comfortable, as if he was more than ten years younger.

Huang Jin looked at the playbook on the ground, bent down and picked it up carefully, and was about to put it in an unsightly place first, but Jiajing saw it and said without a trace: "The immortal god is not coming, and the sin lies in the mediocre minister!" ”

"Old Yan Ge is sick, and he can't do it, when he recovers, he will definitely present the most wonderful green words!" Huang Jin is soft-handed and helped Yan Song say good things.

"There is no shortage of people who write good green words now, and Yan Ge is already old, and the green words he writes are not as good as before!" Jiajing felt deaf and clear, and continued to turn the notebook.

Huang Jin didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and this word would definitely be unfavorable to Yan Ge Lao, but the matter had come to this point, so he had no choice but to continue to follow the topic: "Is that because of ambergris?" Or, the master will issue another order to urge Guangdong and Fujian to step up their search? ”

"If the decree is effective, will the two provincial capitals only collect three catties last year?" Jiajing read a book of ten lines, threw it aside and said indignantly.

In the 34th year of Jiajing, he had already issued an order to the household department to purchase 100 catties of ambergris, and to this day, the three catties submitted last year were the largest in total.

"Didn't that Wang Bai say that the overseas Francophone people have a lot of ambergris?" Huang Jin didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, but he didn't want to think that the three catties were already a lot, and there were still offerings over the years.

In essence, it was not that Wang Bai offered too little ambergris, but that Jiajing's goal of 100 catties from the beginning was too high.

"Who knows!" Jiajing's face became more and more ugly, and he said in a gloomy and cold voice: "Even if there is, I was mistaken by these mediocre ministers, but I was just asked the household department to allocate funds to repair Ziwei Palace, but he actually told me that the household department had no money!" ”

Huang Jin immediately understood the source of Jiajing's anger, and his daring was in this word "money", and he immediately stabbed the knife and said: "The previous Hubu Shangshu Fang was not like this, even if he couldn't send out the official's money, he tried his best to do everything the emperor explained!" Why did I get to Jia Shangshu here, and I didn't have any money for what I wanted to do? ”

"This person is self-defeating, but he is the most mistaken, and he is really worse than Zhao Wenhua!" Jiajing happened to see a copy of the book asking for money to repair the river embankment, and immediately said indignantly.

When Huang Jin heard this, he knew that Jia Yingchun had completely lost his imperial heart. Zhao Wenhua is Yan Song's righteous son, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry at the time, and was robbed of his home for embezzling more than 100,000 military salaries, becoming the most corrupt civil official in recent years.

Of course, when it comes to greed for money, their internal supervision is more powerful. Li Bin, the eunuch of his ceremonial supervisor, was copied more than 400,000 taels, and the gold beads and treasures were innumerable.

"Huh? This kid reacts pretty fast! So soon to play the book for self-presentation? Jiajing's attention was suddenly absorbed by a notebook, but his tone was not good.

When Huang Jin heard this, he secretly glanced at Feng Bao behind him and gave him a stern look.

Feng Bao didn't seem to notice Huang Jin's eyes, at this time he had been absorbed by the notebook in Jiajing's hand, and he wanted to know if it was his brother's notebook, what kind of content was written on it.

He really doesn't know what to eat these days, and since he learned that his brother was impeached, and the saint has obvious dissatisfaction with his actions, he has been worried about his brother's future.

Huang Jin said gently: "This attitude of admitting mistakes is not bad! ”

"I don't look at attitudes, and I don't need officials who don't do things with good attitudes! How long has it been since Leizhou opened the sea, but no results have been taken out! Jiajing immediately lowered his face and said.

When Huang Jin heard this, he immediately wanted to cry out for Lin Haoran. This seems to have passed more than half a year, but Lin Haoran has been delayed on the road most of the time, and it would be strange if he came up with results now.

However, he also knew that he couldn't help Lin Haoran speak at this time, otherwise he would also be implicated. The saint was angry with Lin Haoran, it was fake, and the essence was to use the topic to play and want to remove the Guangdong City Bo Division.

"Yes! It's been more than half a year, and there seems to be no movement except for a few big cases! Huang Jin very skillfully pointed out a little merit of Lin Haoran, which can be regarded as the result of winning a leniency for him.

I thought Jiajing was angry, but when he took the notebook, he was stunned.

Jiajing never imagined that this was not a self-presentation transcript, but a transcript to impeach other other officials, and the person who impeached him turned out to be Wang Bai, the political envoy and sea patrol who collected ambergris for him.

What surprised him the most was that Lin Haoran impeached Wang Bai for two major crimes.

First, Wang Bai's procurement is not effective, and he only obtains a little ambergris from overseas; The second is that Wang Bai harmed the public and private interests, and did not hesitate to use the power of Guangdong Province to buy ambergris, which caused the Franc machine and Wang Bai himself to profit.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Haoran's second accusation is not untargeted, the price of ambergris has skyrocketed to the point that it is sensational.

According to records, some fishermen in the Han Dynasty caught some gray-white waxy drifts in the sea, and when they were lit, they were even more fragrant than musk. Local officials, after the acquisition, contributed to the emperor, used in the court as a spice, or as medicine.

At this time, ambergris is just an ordinary thing, and although it seems precious, its price is not high.

In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing opened his mouth and ordered the household to purchase 100 catties of ambergris. According to the previous market conditions, the household department purchased ambergris at a price of 1,400 taels per catty, but there was almost no gain.

If there is something good at the top, it will be attached to the bottom.

A Portuguese prisoner in Wang Bai's prison in Guangzhou found that he had ambergris incense for one or two or three dollars, so he urgently requisitioned it and presented it to the emperor.

This matter aroused Jiajing's great attention, and sent a commissioner to Guangdong to look for ambergris, and the Portuguese in Macao also got the news. Using the ambergris in their hands, the Portuguese gained the initiative when negotiating with Ming officials.

It was by virtue of the discovery of ambergris that Wang Bai became the political envoy of Guangdong, and then devoted himself to finding ambergris for the saint.

Due to the urgent need of the emperor, it also led to the Portuguese monopolizing the price of ambergris, which skyrocketed, and the price of one or two hundred gold.

This is not only that, in the 36th year of Jiajing's acquisition, only more than two catties of ambergris incense, Guangdong and Fujian actually spent a total of 350,000 taels, and the value of one tael has exceeded 200 gold.

In just a few years, ambergris has risen to a daunting astronomical price.

Now Lin Haoran is holding on to this, not to mention that Wang Bai is not clean, even if it is really clean, it is difficult for him to tell what is going on, he can't say that it is not his own money and is not heartbroken, right?

As soon as the conversation changed, Lin Haoran immediately expressed his willingness to take the job and said: "If it is collected by Weichen, it will definitely be several times higher than it, and the price is only eleven of it." ”

In Daming, there are a lot of officials who find faults, but it is rare to dare to take work after picking faults.

Jiajing's perception of Lin Haoran was not bad, and he was immediately moved by the bait he thrown.

Although he could exhaust the country's resources for the sake of cultivating, he was also happy to get ambergris at a lower cost. Most importantly, he was able to get ambergris many times more than before.

The essence is not over, Lin Haoran released another big move: "The city has received more than 20,000 yuan in taxes in the past half a year, and now it is used to purchase ambergris, and has sent people to send 20 taels of ambergris to Beijing." ”

"This damn Wang Bai! Damn Wang Bai! Jiajing suddenly said angrily.

But it didn't mean that he listened to Lin Haoran's words, nor did he think that Wang Bai was greedy, but he vented the anger in his heart and regarded Wang Bai as a mediocre minister like Jia Yingchun.

It's just that he doesn't plan to dispose of Wang Bai, Wang Bai still has some merits, and the most important thing is that Wang Bai can be a spare tire. Once Lin Haoran is deceived by him, then he can still let Wang Bai go to the top, and he can also put a certain amount of pressure on Lin Haoran.

The art of imperial power has undoubtedly been played by Jiajing.

It was in this way that a holy decree was issued from Wanshou Palace and went directly to the yamen of the political envoy of Guangdong.
