If you want to be a diligent emperor, it is actually quite tiring, in addition to the morning and afternoon dynasties every day, there are endless political affairs to deal with, and endless corrections. At present, Jiajing is still very diligent, although he is not as diligent as workaholic Zhu Yuanzhang, but he is also diligent and diligent, and he has completed the daily recital in a timely manner.

No, Jiajing, who had just rested for a while in the afternoon, reviewed the recital in the Heart Nourishing Palace. The book is sent by the General Administration Department, and the emperor will distribute it to all ministries for handling after seeing it, and major matters that need to be discussed by the cabinet will be sent to the cabinet, and the cabinet auxiliary ministers will discuss and come up with the handling opinions, which is called vote drafting.

In this process, the celebrant acts as a link between the cabinet and the emperor, and the eunuch also has the right to approve red, so the power is very great, and it has always been known as the prime minister.

For example, Liu Jin, the eunuch of the Zhengde Dynasty, was the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch Bingbi, and Zhengde was very fond of him, and even allowed him to review the recital on his behalf. However, Jiajing is just the opposite, he is very strict with the eunuchs behind him, and the eunuchs are positioned as slaves in his eyes, and it is forbidden to interfere in politics in any form, so the current eunuch Bingbi does not have Liu Jin's scenery, and can only be an errand runner honestly.

The weather is cold, and the charcoal fire in the large copper furnace in the Heart Nourishing Hall is blazing, radiating heat in all directions, dispelling the cold of deep winter.

"How can this be reasonable, trivial things have to be played, do these mediocre officials want to be tired to death, I still have to squeeze out time to go to the War Bureau to see Sister Zhi'er, then I have time to care about your bullshit......

Jiajing sat behind the imperial case, muttering and reading the notebook, almost ten lines at a glance, as long as he felt that it was insignificant, he casually threw it aside.

"Hey, Yan Song!" Jiajing suddenly sighed lightly, picked up a book and read it carefully, the more he read, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he even patted the royal case and blurted out: "This method is wonderful!" ”

Several small yellow men standing in the hall couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise, the emperor was so happy, it seemed that the recital of Yan Song, the national superintendent, had scratched the emperor's itch again.

This recital is indeed played by Yan Song, and the title is "Please Raise the Four Hours of Sacrifice Shu", which can be said to complement the early dynasty's "Please Raise the Silkworm Ceremony", which is simply a sister article of two consecutive hairs.

Yan Song's early "Please Raise Silkworm Ceremony" clearly implored the emperor to plough in the southern suburbs, and the queen kissed silkworms in the northern suburbs, but in fact, it welcomed the idea of dividing the heaven and earth between the north and south of Jiajing.

But now this "Please Raise the Four Seasons to Sacrifice Shu" is a blunt request for the emperor to share the sacrifice of heaven and earth, and even more progressively, asking the emperor to build altars in the suburbs to share the sacrifice of heaven, earth, sun and moon.

In other words, Yan Song's proposition was to build the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs of the city and worship the heavens; In the northern suburbs of the city, an altar was built and a sacrificial ground was built; Build an altar of the sun in the eastern suburbs of the city to worship the sun; Build a moon altar in the western suburbs of the city to worship the moon. (Note: The existing four altars of heaven, earth, sun and moon in Beijing were built by the Jiajing Dynasty.) ）

Moreover, Yan Song's propositions were not made out of thin air, he quoted a lot of records from Zhou Li, and he said it in a straightforward way, full of style, and quite convincing.

For example, the summer solstice is the day of the year when the yang energy is at its peak, and all things are thriving, so it is appropriate to worship the heavens at the Temple of Heaven. The winter solstice is the most yin day of the year, when all things are dormant, and it is suitable to sacrifice at the altar of the earth. The spring equinox is suitable for worshipping the sun at the altar of the sun, and the autumn equinox is suitable for worshipping the moon at the altar of the moon. In this way, the four seasons are reincarnated to worship the heaven, earth, the sun and the moon, and conform to the favorable time and place, the country will inevitably be smooth and prosperous!

In short, Jiajing was greatly moved after reading Yan Song's recital, and couldn't help but praise it.

Jiajing couldn't put it down and read Yan Song's note, and said happily: "In this way, Yan Song has a lot of research on ancient rites, and he is condescending to be in charge of the business of the country, so he should be transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and he will preside over the spring festival next year." ”

Jiajing brought in Bi Yun, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and ordered the cabinet to transfer Yan Song to the Ministry of Rites, responsible for preparing for the spring festival after the year.

After sending away his father-in-law, Jiajing continued to review the remaining manuscripts, but at this time, a small yellow door walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived." ”

"The mother is behind!" Zhu Houxi put down the imperial pen in surprise and subconsciously stood up.

Leaning slightly, I saw that Empress Dowager Jiang entered the Heart Cultivation Hall with the support of the old eunuch Hu Dahai. Jiajing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Erchen greets the queen mother." ”

"The emperor is exempt!" Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at the piled up of notebooks on the imperial case, and couldn't help but say a little distressed: "Your Majesty, although the state affairs are busy, you must also pay attention to taking care of your body, the weather is cold, don't burn yourself." ”

Jiajing smiled disapplausively: "Don't worry, the son is in good health, the queen mother is sitting down, by the way, how can the queen mother come to the Qianqing Palace today?" ”

Empress Dowager Jiang said with a little disgust: "If the emperor doesn't come to ask the mourning family to say goodbye, isn't the mourning family allowed to come and see the emperor?" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Jiajing hurriedly said.

Empress Dowager Jiang and Jiajing chatted for a while, and then glanced at the old eunuch Hu Taihai, who hurriedly took out a porcelain vase from the wooden box he was holding.

"Queen Mother, what is this?" Jiajing asked suspiciously.

Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and said: "This is a long-term refining of the innate pure yang pill, which can consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, and the emperor works day and night for state affairs, which is just used to make up for the body." ”

Jiajing was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Queen Mother, my son's body is very good and energetic, he doesn't need to take the pill of Guben Peiyuan, and Xu Qing also said that it is a medicine that is three parts poisonous, and if you can take medicine, it is better not to take it!" ”

Empress Dowager Jiang suddenly said unscrupulously: "Although Brother Jin Yunwen Yunwu is true, he may not understand this aspect, Bingyi has a long mana and profoundness, and he is a master of the Tao, and the Mourning family's insomnia and dreaminess in recent times have also been cured by taking the Daoist elixir, if the emperor wants to eat it, the Mourning family will take it back and eat it himself!" ”

When Jiajing heard this, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't be angry, the queen mother can't eat it." After speaking, he took the porcelain bottle in Hu Dahai's hand, opened the lid and smelled it, but it was fragrant.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Jiang turned her anger into joy, and said, "This Innate Pure Yang Pill can only be taken one pill a day, and you can't overdose." ”

"Erchen understands!" After Zhu Houxi finished speaking, he poured out a pill, and he was going to take it immediately.

Empress Dowager Jiang hurriedly stopped: "Don't be busy now, it's not too late for the emperor to go to Kunning Palace tonight to take it again!" ”

Zhu Houxi was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, and couldn't help but feel hot on his face, and put the pill back into the porcelain bottle with an unnatural expression.

Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at her silent son, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, my mother knows that you don't like the queen, but my mother is old now, and I just hope to be able to hug my grandson soon, you see that Brother Jin is not ambiguous......"

"Queen Mother, Erchen knows!" Zhu Houxi said with a red face, although there is now no old eunuch Hu Dahai in the palace, Jiajing still feels embarrassed and faceless.
