Chapter 27 Jiajing's heart disease

Li Ru didn't know if he didn't ask, but he would know once he asked. The biggest news in the capital today is that King Jing was dead.

Li Ru was also shocked. King Jing was only in his early thirties. Why did he go like this at a young age? However, after thinking about it, he didn't think anything strange.

Because of King Jing’s style, everyone in the world knows it.

It is only a matter of time before lust, and it will be a matter of time before death.

I just didn't expect it to be so fast.

However, just because King Jing died, it would not have caused the court to discuss it. The reason why the court could have caused the court to discuss it was that Jiajing was sick.

In history, Jiajing was very indifferent to his son because the two dragons did not meet. However, although Jiajing of this era could not be like many parents of his two sons, he was at least his own son.

The pain of white-haired people giving birth to black-haired people is something that ordinary people can understand.

Not to mention, Jiajing's health has gradually become worse in recent years. After all, Jiajing was 61. In ancient times, this was already considered a long life. Among the many emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many people who were older than Jiajing. Only Taizu Chengzu was above him.

In addition, when Jiajing was young, how he traumatized his body. Now that he wanted to make up for it, it was not so easy to make up for it. It was normal for his health to get worse day by day. It was not unimaginable to be sick again after being so stimulated.

However, Jiajing's fall from illness this time made many people feel like something. Jiajing's life may be coming soon. Even if it wasn't for the past few years, it wouldn't have been more than ten years.

I don’t know if it will be the fifty years since Jiajing.

This is how human hearts undergo subtle changes little by little.

Even though Duke Feng Li Ru was absolutely loyal to the royal family, he wanted to burn the crown prince's stove at this time. After all, he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty royal family, the Ming Dynasty emperor, not a certain emperor.

Fortunately, although Jiajing is sick, he will not be awakened.

I heard that Li Ru had returned from the Western Regions.

Jiajing summoned Li Ru immediately.

When Li Ru saw Jiajing, he knelt on the ground with a "thump" and said, "Your Majesty, I am the minister----" and couldn't speak for a while.

Jiajing smiled bitterly and said, "I am old and scared you."

At this moment, all Jiajing's hair was white, and even his beard was not even a few black. He lay on the bed, like an old man who was about to die.

Li Ru naturally felt a little sad about this. He and Zhou Mengchen were both born in the early years of Jiajing. For them, the reign of the Ming Dynasty was Jiajing. After so many years of use, they suddenly realized that they might have to change the reign.

The various feelings in my heart are indescribable. Li Ru said: "I am incompetent, and the wars in the Western Regions are endless, which makes Your Majesty worry."

Jiajing smiled faintly and said, "What am I worried about? Zhou Mengchen is not worried at all, and I am worried about anything. Sometimes I admire Zhou Mengchen's move."

That move is naturally to solve internal problems of the Ming Dynasty when fighting.

When you want to activate internal problems in the Ming Dynasty, you will encounter a lot of resistance. However, once you fight, you can temporarily carry out some reforms in the name of war. Once it is temporarily done, you will not be able to change it.

Of course, not everyone has a big picture. For the sake of his political goals, people like Yan Song don’t mind taking a few more defeats on the front line and killing more soldiers.

However, Zhou Mengchen was not soft-working. When he met such a person, he could naturally use thunder to stand on the righteousness.

This method was used unconsciously since Zhou Mengchen was in Datong. Later, Zhou Mengchen was interested in doing this. Others may not know it, but with the old Taoist of Jiajing, they can see it clearly.

Zhou Mengchen almost formed a path dependence.

Just don’t be afraid of getting old, just be useful.

Jiajing did not mean to explain to Li Ru in detail, and he said, "Tell me about the war in the Western Regions."

Li Ru immediately said: "Yes."

Then he began to tell every bit of the war in the Western Regions.

Jiajing was still very interested in listening at first, but after a long time, Jiajing's eyes closed slightly and he was still dozing off.

Time is not forgiving others, and Jiajing always gets old. His life has reached the last period of time. This is also the reason why he interferes less and less in the affairs of the government. It is not that he doesn't want to, but that he cannot.

In the last period of history, Jiajing lost control of the government. He repeatedly expressed to Xu Jie that he wanted to abdicate and abdicate. Perhaps he had the intention of making a tentative attempt, but it might not be true to be exhausted. Not to mention that Jiajing could not even kill Yi Hai Rui in the end.

Some people say that Jiajing cares about the name behind him, but only according to what Jiajing did. Is he the name behind him? After Zuoshunmen, what name behind him can be mentioned? It is important to know that the pen is in the hands of the scholars and officials.

The only reason is not.

Jiajing's loss of control over the imperial court was also reflected in his will. Xu Jie's will for Jiajing finally caused a lot of trouble. Xu Jie wrote Jiajing's will forbidden edict, and in Jiajing's tone, he admitted all the mistakes of Jiajing and expressed his repentance.

If Jiajing knew that his will was like this, he would probably be able to climb out of the coffin with anger. This proves that Jiajing had no ability to arrange his own affairs.

Of course, Jiajing in this time and space is much better. He insisted on training for more than ten years, which made his body much better than in history. In history, Jiajing was already dead in the 45th year of Jiajing.

Now it has been 46 years since Jiajing. Jiajing is just sick, and it is not very serious.

However, Jiajing is also facing the same problem at this moment, that is, he really can't control power.

Today's performance is an episode.

Although Jiajing was sad about King Jing's death, the relationship between father and son was a bit weak. Jiajing was even more worried, or sad. Once King Jing died, Jiajing became the surviving child, only one son and one daughter.

This son is the prince.

And the prince has only two sons.

And the prince is only six years old.

The other one is even younger. Only three years old.

It is very high for young children to die these days, and it is not impossible for these two children to stop. What made Jiajing even more worried is that the prince is obsessed with fatness and stupidity, but not in good health.

Jiajing secretly asked many imperial physicians, but these imperial physicians dare not say it clearly, but the roundabout meaning is that if the prince's body cannot be well maintained, he may not be able to end his life.

The Ming Dynasty royal family had only four males, but they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. The prince was like this. How could this not make Jiajing worry?

He never trusts anyone's loyalty.

He had always been worried that Zhou Mengchen would be more and more capable. At that time, he would become a saint emperor and be governed by the emperor. What kind of face would he have to do with his ancestors? No, if he really became a saint emperor and be governed by the emperor, although it was a bit cowardly, it was OK.

If the cabinet has a single unfilial person and plans to usurp the throne, what should I do?

Yes, the system before the Ming Dynasty had all kinds of bad things, and even caused the Ming Dynasty to fall into this way, and there were reasons for these systems. But the previous system had one advantage, that is, there would be no force within the entire system that could usurp the throne.

However, the cabinet's power is so great that it has exceeded this limit.

No, to be precise, Zhou Mengchen is beyond this limit.

Zhou Mengchen is actually avoiding this risk. Once the military power can be truly controlled by the Privy Council, civil servants can only indirectly control the military power. In this way, the cabinet will look at the overall situation, but the Privy Council is affiliated with the emperor. In addition to other restrictions.

The emperor has some guarantees.

But Zhou Mengchen is an exception.

Yes, exception. Jiajing cannot forget Zhou Mengchen's disciple and former official in the army. The first force in the Ming army was always Zhou Mengchen's faction. Even though Jiajing forced Duke Feng Li Ru out of Zhou Mengchen's faction, and after the battle in the Western Regions, he established the prestige of Duke Feng Li Ru. However, the Duke Feng lineage could not be compared with Zhou Mengchen's lineage.

This is also the source of Jiajing's heart disease.

But he was also very conflicted, and he was worried that Zhou Mengchen's power would become increasingly powerful. On the other hand, he was also addicted to the reputation Zhou Mengchen brought to him.
