The spring sun is gradually rising, and the Wanshou Palace looks resplendent with gold.

Jiajing opened his eyes in the soft bed, because there was no restraint of the court, he usually got up late every day, and his days were unrestrained.

It's just that it's different as usual, he always feels that something is pressing on his heart, so he didn't sleep too well last night, and he woke up earlier than usual this morning.

Ever since Qin Tianjian predicted the appearance of a solar eclipse, he was under a little pressure. On this day, he cultivated the Tao and sought immortality, but the heavens wanted to "blame" him, so that he had to conduct a small review.

Although in recent years, government affairs have been neglected, and the Mongolian in the north and the anti-thieves in the south have become a big problem, especially the Japanese in the southeast coast have been repeatedly banned, but which dynasty has not had a little turmoil?

On the other hand, after these years of fighting, he has taken care of the civil and military officials to be obedient, so that those civil officials know that the Ming Dynasty is his Zhu Houxi, and they are just slaves who take care of the world for him, and the current imperial power is comparable to Taizu and Chengzu.

If he had to say that he was at fault, it was that he used too much state money to cultivate, but this was also believing in the heavens, and it was not too much at all.

As soon as I thought of this, I had to think of Lan Daoxing. When he learned that there was an imminent solar eclipse, he also asked Yu Tian about it, and the blue fairy wrote the words "prevent people's hearts" on the sand table by helping Luan Qiqi.

"Could it be a conspiracy? Could someone really take advantage of this to make a living and then attack themselves? ”

Jiajing was not born as an orthodox emperor, and received the "pig education" of the royal palace, and did not pay attention to the so-called solar eclipse, and even fundamentally doubted the "solar eclipse theory".

The most important thing is that he has seen the faces of civil officials clearly. This "solar eclipse" is the king's immorality, which is completely the words of Wenchen, and it may be an excuse for Wenchen to attack the surnamed king.

In the same way, he is not too introspective in his heart, but is worried that the "solar eclipse" will lead to a big mess.

Huang Jin did not have the appearance of a power prisoner at the moment, serving Jiajing like a loyal old slave, watching Jiajing want to wash his face, but he reminded with a worried face: "Master, you be careful, the water is cold!" ”

Due to Jiajing's long-term use of pills, his body appears hot and dry, so his body is not afraid of cold and heat, so he dares to wash his face directly with cold water in this February when the snow has not melted.

Feeling the coolness of the water in the basin, and then looking at the performance of Huang Jin and the others full of worry and surprise, Jiajing wiped his face calmly, very satisfied with the results of his cultivation at the moment.

Huang Jin took the cold towel, and his hanging heart fell, and he immediately said again: "Master, about the solar eclipse yesterday evening, there was a big dispute between the civil officials!" ”

"Why the dispute?" Jiajing stretched out his arms, and the palace maid put on a Taoist robe for him, resolutely like an ordinary Taoist priest.

Huang Jin handed the towel to Feng Bao next to him, and at the same time observed Jiajing's reaction, and then said cautiously: "Yuan Wei is opposed to holding an ambulance ceremony because 'the sun is not seen in the eclipse, that is, it is not eaten'!" ”

"Oh?" Jiajing's eyebrows were slightly raised, but he looked a little interested.

Huang Jin captured this expression, and immediately said with righteous indignation: "It's just that Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites didn't adopt it, but insisted on holding an ambulance ceremony, so that the civil officials were divided into two factions, I heard that there was still a quarrel outside!" ”

Jiajing's brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered the words "If the solar eclipse is not seen, it will not be eclipse".

As for whether or not to "sin himself", he actually didn't pay too much attention to it.

If the officials below don't know how to measure inches, then he doesn't mind letting them learn how to use their own skills, and Yan Song will also take the initiative to help him deal with those disobedient officials, and even let them be the companions of the officials who were killed with a rod in the past in the great ceremony.

However, it is undoubtedly a better result to be able to end this sudden dispute in another form, and to make this solar eclipse "big and small", and "small things".

Dressed in robes, the ashram is already lit with refreshing sandalwood, signaling the beginning of a new day.

If it was on a weekday, he would definitely go to the ashram to do metaphysical meditation, but today is obviously different. Due to yesterday's solar eclipse, the ministers must have written to him, or even admonished him to cultivate virtue.

After Huang Jin observed Jiajing's intentions, he immediately led the palace maid and eunuch to Zhang Luo, striving to let Jiajing enjoy the most comfortable environment and live the most comfortable life.

Although it was only morning, there was already a large stack of notes about the eclipse, which were neatly stacked on the table.

Jiajing has the habit of watching the music while eating, and on the table next to him, there are already a few vegetarian dishes carefully prepared by the imperial dining room, and the tableware is also neatly placed.

It's just that he just opened a few books, but his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Solar eclipse, the heavens warn Your Majesty!"

"Please introspect, cultivate virtue, and cultivate politics!"

"Daming is full of malpractices at the moment, and the minister has three strategies!"

……

I have flipped through several books, but all of them are the "rescue faction", but the spearhead is directed at Yu Jiajing.

At this moment, Jiajing felt that his authority had been challenged. It was just a solar eclipse, and these officials dared to jump out and blame him, and although many officials seemed to be tactful, this kind of behavior was still not allowed.

What was at fault with him? There is no fault at all, what is wrong is the rebel ministers of the previous dynasty who "took advantage of the solar eclipse to talk about things".

Bang!

Jiajing suddenly became furious and threw a piece of music to the ground.

Huang Jin and others were shocked, and the cover of the song was just facing up, but it was the song of Li Zhengjun, the director of the Ministry of Rites. Obviously, the rhetoric in the recital was too intense, and it had already angered the saints.

"What dare you accuse Yu Zhen?"

Jiajing looked at the music on the ground and accused indignantly.

Huang Jin shook his head secretly in his heart, this blind head of the Ministry of Rites has already ended his career. Either resign obediently and go home, or wait for the officials to wear small shoes, and there will be no possibility of reuse.

Although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, Huang Jin's movements were not slow, and he stepped forward with a flattering face: "Saint, Yuan Wei is also on the song, why don't you see what he says?" ”

"Where?" Jiajing's face was slightly softened, but he asked lightly.

As soon as the words fell, Huang Jin immediately rummaged through the neatly stacked notes according to his memory, and soon found Yuan Wei's book.

"The Ministry of Rites is waiting for Lang Yuan Wei to play: Your Majesty is a father to serve the day, a brother is a day, the group of yin retreats, and Vientiane is bright. It is based on the sun's crystal, the atmosphere is shining, and the solar eclipse is not seen, that is, it is the same as not eating......"

Jiajing looked at this book seriously, and his face gradually showed satisfaction. opened his mouth slightly, ate a piece of tofu sent by the palace maid, chewed it carefully, and found that the more he ate, the more flavorful it became.

For Yuan Wei, Jiajing is undoubtedly satisfied. Not only is Qingci well written, but he also understands his mind very well, and the most important thing is to be able to put himself in the right position, and never dare to do anything that challenges his authority.

This note, not to mention whether "the eclipse is not seen, that is, the same is not eclipse" can be established, and this loyalty to "solving problems and solving problems" alone can be praised. However, in the recital, he felt that Wu Shan's verbal attack was a little excessive.

Wu Shan, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, although this person really does not know how to be flexible, and belongs to the hateful Qingliu lineage, but Wu Shan led the officials to perform the rescue ceremony, which does not seem to be much of a fault.

But at this moment, a little eunuch walked in, saying that Yan Ge Lao was asking to see him outside. The so-called building near the water gets the moon first, and in many cases, the first person Jiajing meets when he gets up is usually Yan Song.

After the Spring Festival, Yan Song was already an eighty-two-year-old man. However, his body is still quite neat, especially when he faces the saint, he is even more energetic.

After entering, he bowed in a proper manner, and then sat down on the embroidered pier.

"Weizhong, what do you think about the eclipse?" Jiajing attaches great importance to this old minister, and has already thrown Song Shu aside, and asked directly to the point.

Yan Song's hearing has deteriorated, but he has been with Jiajing for more than 20 years, although he can only hear a few words clearly, he still replied clearly: "It doesn't matter if the minister sees it this way, everything depends on Your Majesty!" ”

"I don't have an idea, so I wanted to hear your advice, but you pushed it back! But it doesn't hurt to say that you are not guilty! Jiajing knew Yan Song's loyalty, but said with a smile.

Yan Song heard Jiajing's words clearly, and even more clearly heard the tone of Jiajing's words, and couldn't help but be relieved, and immediately expressed his opinion loudly: "The matter of the solar eclipse, the old minister thinks it can be regarded as auspicious!" Today, the sun is eclipse, and the sky covers it, which is a great auspicious omen! ”

When it comes to sycophancy, Yuan Wei is really trivial.

When Jiajing heard that the solar eclipse was going to be classified as "auspicious", although he was greatly affected by it, he did not dare to really define it like this. This denial of the solar eclipse is already considered a transgression, and the "solar eclipse" should be regarded as auspicious, but this matter is absolutely impossible.

However, Jiajing's statement made Jiajing very happy, but he asked: "When the sky was different yesterday evening, Wu Shan insisted on the solar eclipse theory and led many officials to perform rescue gifts, has there ever been such a thing?" ”

"Yes!" Yan Song replied.

Jiajing's impression of Wu Shan is not bad, although he is a typical Qingliu official, but he is indeed a suitable candidate for the Ministry of Rites, but this time he was too disappointed, so he asked in a deep voice: "Weizhong, what do you think should be done?" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was undoubtedly a beating on a group of officials.

Huang Jin sat on the side and couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly. Although he sometimes envies civil officials, he has to admit that the wealth of civil officials comes and goes faster, like the fall of Li Mo in the past, as if in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, many officials and ministers don't know about it, but it's actually excusable, why don't you punish them for half a year?" Out of interest considerations, Yan Song does not advocate beating with a stick.

Jiajing nodded slightly, knowing that it was really not appropriate to knock too hard this time, so he asked again: "Then Wu Shan ......" just said to his mouth, but he waved his hand again: "Wu Shan will be fined for one year!" ”

But I don't know if it's because of Lin Haoran, or because of the amazingly selling "Talking about the Past and the Present", Wu Shan already has a certain status in Jiajing's heart, not the kind of dispensable cat and dog.

"Yes!" Yan Song was slightly surprised by such a light punishment, but he still respectfully accepted the order.

It is said that after Yuan Wei handed over the carefully concocted recital, he came directly to the Wuyi Palace.

Although he is not a member of the cabinet, in the current Jiajing Dynasty, his status as a courtier of Qingzi is often haunted by Xiyuan. Of course, there is no place for him in the cabinet of duty, only a desk here.

Yuan Wei came to the Wuyi Hall and prepared to write a green word to the saint, but today he finally had something hidden in his heart. only wrote the beginning of 200 words, and finally tore him up because he was not satisfied.

When noon fell, news finally came from the Wanshou Palace. After seeing the recital of the hundred officials, the saint was really furious, and even threw the recital of Li Zhengjun, the director of the Ministry of Rites, to the ground.

What happened next was exactly what he expected. When the saint saw his carefully concocted song, he was really happy, and he ate the palace maid's tofu with a great appetite.

"A one-year fine?"

When Yuan Wei heard the result of this punishment, his brows furrowed slightly, this was naturally not the result he wanted. Not to mention that Yu Lu did not mean much to their group of high-level Beijing officials, and what he wanted was to get rid of Wu Shan and take over the high position of the Ministry of Rites.

"Has the emperor seen Wu Shangshu's recital?" Yuan Wei stuffed the little eunuch with a piece of gold without a trace, but he inquired very seriously.

The little eunuch looked left and right, and then replied seriously: "I don't know very well, it seems to ...... No! ”

It seems like? Is that yes or no?

Yuan Wei was undoubtedly dissatisfied with this result, but the little eunuch had already put the gold in his arms and left.

On this day, Yuan Wei watched the sun set from morning to afternoon, but there was still no news of the emperor's anger, making him like an ant on a hot pit.

In his plan, Wu Shan led the officials to perform the salutation ceremony, which would certainly not really anger the saint, and he did not expect this incident to bring down Wu Shan.

The real killer move is still Wu Shan's routine recital, after seeing Wu Shan's exhortation to introspect, cultivate morality, and cultivate politics, the saint must be furious.

As a result of killing chickens and monkeys like before, the saint will definitely punish Wu Shan severely, and even let Wu Shan end up like his teacher Xia Yan.

But things are so weird, the day is so peaceful, so hard.

What particularly bothered him was that he had seen Wu Shan appear in the General Administration Department early in the morning, why had Wu Shan's recital not yet been submitted to the Wanshou Palace, and why was the saint still furious?

It wasn't until Xiyuan was locked that Yuan Wei left with grace.

"What? Wu Shan didn't play today? ”

Yuan Wei couldn't care about the already hungry stomach, and soon inquired about the specific news, Wu Shan didn't even present it today.

This one thing, not to mention Yuan Wei's "flattering faction", even if it is the "rescue faction", they are also stunned, but they don't know which one Wu Shan is singing.
