The palace in July was shrouded in a gloomy and miserable cloud, because Princess Yongfu was about to marry and the festive atmosphere that lingered over the capital was also gone, and the palace maids and eunuchs were even careful to walk and talk, lest they anger the Son of Heaven.

The emperor has not been to the court for seven days, and he stays in Jingren Palace almost every day to accompany Concubine Shu. Jiajing, the young emperor who is only nineteen years old this year has tasted the pain of losing his son, and the vast majority of ministers can sympathize with the current mood of the Son of Heaven, even if the emperor did not go to court for seven days, the reaction is also very calm, but there are also uninteresting officials who accuse the emperor of neglecting his administration, so Jiajing was angry and ordered Jinyiwei to arrest several of them in prison.

Zhu Houxi's move was originally to vent, by the way, he killed chickens and monkeys, but he didn't think about it, but he stabbed a hornet's nest, you must know that most of the Ming officials are trolls who are not afraid of death, and they have to find three points of reason if they have nothing to do, most of the ministers were sympathetic to the emperor's loss of a son, so they couldn't help but not go to the book, and now the emperor actually ordered Jinyi Wei to arrest the speech official, isn't this on the nose and face? Squirt him! What about the emperor, according to the spray, since the ancient scholars have not been convicted for their words, not to mention that the speech officials of this dynasty have "licenses", restraining the royal family of the Son of Heaven at the top, and picketing hundreds of officials and Li Min.

As a result, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the six sections, and the thirteen imperial histories of the country were in full swing, and the book was sent up like snowflakes, and the spearhead was directed at Emperor Jiajing, the son of heaven, and there were also officials who accused the cabinet of inaction, and did not play a role in urging and persuading the Son of Heaven to be diligent and love the people, especially the first assistant Fei Hong, who sat back and watched the emperor sink, and the corpse was vegetarian, and he was sorry for the position of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Zhu Houxi saw the piles of recitals on the imperial case, he was so angry that he trembled, since he ascended the throne for five years, he has been diligent, and the big and small sutra feasts have never been interrupted, and he only rests for a few days during the Wanshou Festival and the New Year all year round, and now that his son is gone, these hateful officials still don't let themselves be quiet for a few days, and the emperor is too aggrieved.

After enduring it silently for several days, Zhu Houxi finally broke out into a thunderous rage, and ordered the Jinyi guard to apply a cane to some of the officials, and a total of 56 people were beaten, two of whom were also killed by the cane on the spot, and the rest were degraded and exiled.

Facts have proved that some people are not long in learning, but they have a long backbone, some of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty are indeed not afraid of death, under the bloody suppression of Jiajing, there are still officials who continue to fight in the books, but the scale is much smaller than before, after all, not everyone is not afraid of death, not afraid of losing office, studying hard for more than ten years, it was not easy to pass the imperial examination, mixed with the bureaucracy, and it is too cost-effective to lose everything like this.

Emperor Jiajing's anger also disappeared after venting, and it is estimated that he was also a little intimidated by these ministers who admitted death, but he did not continue to use radical means, and successively released the ministers who were imprisoned, but he still did not go to the court, and all the copies handed over were left in the middle, presumably to maintain his dignity as an emperor.

On the tenth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Jiajing, Yan Song of the Ministry of Rites left the official office after work and went home for dinner.

Lord Yan as the main marriage envoy, since the selection of the horse candidate in May, he began to be busy with the marriage of Princess Yongfu, the power in his hands, not only the scenery is unlimited, but also the money received hand cramps, as for the emperor ten days not to go to court, or ten years not to go to court, he does not care at all, anyway, the country is the old Zhu family, what he has to do is to do a good job, and then work hard to climb up.

However, although Yan Song has been proud of the spring breeze recently, there is also one annoying thing, that is, Xu Jin, who went to sea to quell the rebellion, may soon return to the country in triumph, not long ago, the good news has been sent back, Wang Zhi's father and son were pacified by Xu Jin in three or two times, Mao Haifeng is dead, but Wang Zhi is still alive, and he will be escorted back to the capital for trial soon.

As the so-called chickens eat light insects - they know it. Yan Song is very aware of his own responsibility in the rebellion of Wang Zhi's father and son, and once he is held accountable, he will definitely not be able to walk around. For this matter, Yan Song hardly stayed up at night, and specially found his one-eyed son Yan Shifan to discuss countermeasures.

I have to say that Yan Shifan is indeed a ghost, and after careful analysis, he told him not to panic, because all the people who participated in the dinner of the political envoy Jia He that day were all dead, and the remaining Wang Zhi was the party.

After listening to his son's analysis, Yan Song felt a little relieved, and continued to go all out to devote himself to the preparations for Princess Yongfu's wedding, as long as he did his errands well, got the recognition of the queen mother and the emperor, and climbed to a higher position, so that he could have the confidence to face Xu Jin, Marquis of Jinghai.

In fact, Yan Song originally thought that Xu Jin wanted to pacify Wang Zhi's father and son, not to mention a few months, plus to stabilize Kyushu Island, Xu Jin would have to return to China at least next year, or even longer, who knew that Wang Zhi's father and son were so unbeaten, and they were cleaned up by Xu Jin in just a few days, and now I can only hope that Xu Jin will not be able to take a break and return to China after the New Year, so that he can have enough time to prepare, and at the end of this year, the altar in the suburbs will be completed, and the credit for Princess Yongfu's officiating marriage, Yan Song felt that he would at least be promoted to one level, and he would be even more confident when facing Xu Jin.

Getting back to the point, and said that as soon as Yan Song returned to the gate of the house after work, the subordinate in charge of guarding the door reported: "Master, Lord Sun of the Ministry of Industry and Construction Office has come to visit and is already waiting in the living room." ”

Yan Song didn't dare to slack off, and went to the living room without even washing his face, although this Sun Suozheng was only an eight-rank official, he gave birth to a good son, and he would soon become the emperor's in-laws.

Yan Song came to the living room and saw a middle-aged man in civilian clothes waiting there, it was Princess Yongfu's quasi-father-in-law, Sun Gui, the head of the Ministry of Industry Camp, and his son was Sun Bin, the quasi-concubine.

Sun Gui is about forty years old, with a long beard under his chin, a Chinese character and a mouth, and he looks dignified, similar to his son Sun Bin, but this Sun is looking anxious and very tired at the moment.

"Xia Guan has seen Lord Yan!" When Sun Gui saw Yan Song, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Lord Sun doesn't have to be polite." Yan Song replied with a smile: "I don't know what wind blew Lord Sun here." ”

Sun Gui shook his head miserably and said, "Lord Yan...... My son is seriously ill, I'm afraid...... It's almost gone. ”

Yan Song's face changed sharply, and he blurted out: "What! Lord Sun is not joking, right? ”

Sun Gui said bitterly: "Lord Yan, how can this kind of thing be a joke? ”

"What the hell is going on? Ling Lang is a person who practices martial arts, why did he suddenly get sick and be so sick when he participated in the marriage election before? ”

Sun Gui said miserably: "Wu'er's body has indeed been very good, even the wind and cold are rare, but for some reason, I was about to fall ill recently, at first my hands did not obey the call, and then I couldn't even move my legs, this is ...... How good is that! ”

Yan Song's face turned green, and he hurriedly said, "Then take the official to take a look." ”
