Xiyuan, Wanshou Palace.

Now the core of Da Nei is not in the Forbidden City, but in the West Garden Wanshou Palace.

The 21st year of Jiajing was a turning point in Jiajing's life.

That is the Renyin Palace Change. Six palace maids want to strangle Jiajing to death.

Although it was not successful, it brought great stimulation to Jiajing. He no longer lived in Da Nei. Instead, he lived in the Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan. The king and his ministers were isolated. Jiajing rarely went to court or summoned court officials. He began to be in danger of politics and became more obsessed with Taoism and supernatural powers.

Almost everything is taking golden elixir, practicing secret techniques, etc.

What can Jiajing practice Taoist secret techniques? No one knows. But since then, Jiajing's work and rest time is different from that of ordinary people. Because many Taoist secret techniques require the Ziwu exercise. Zi is the hour of midnight, and Wu is the hour of noon. That is, twelve o'clock in the noon, and twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

I have to practice every day during this period of time.

In order to cater to the time of cultivation, Jiajing's work and rest time has become different from that of ordinary people.

Now is the time for Emperor Jiajing to practice.

In Wanshou Palace, layers of curtains are laid down, and the square inch of the land seems to have become a maze. In the corners of Wanshou Palace, there are copper incense burners of large and small, which are like cranes, with smoke like water flowing down from the crane's mouth, and smoke like golden toads, and smoke like fog slowly emerges from the mouth of the golden toads.

From the golden bricks on the ground to the knees, layers of smoke were deposited, and it seemed that the ground could not be seen clearly, making people feel like they were in a fairyland. Not to mention that the fragrance used by Jiajing was not the fragrance with a very strong smell, but the fragrance practiced by Taoism. Various fragrances were intertwined, but the feeling of being out of the world.

It is precisely where there are palaces in the sky that are clearly located on earth.

And in the middle of Wanshou Palace.

It's a quiet room.

This quiet room is not big. It is only a dozen square meters and is round. There are no walls around it, only a dozen copper columns, and layers of curtains are hung on the copper columns. These curtains are all good silks in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if there are more than ten layers, the translucency is maintained. They are covered by these curtains, which seem to be transparent but not transparent, and are separated from the outside space.

There is nothing else in the entire quiet room, only one cushion, placed at the center of the circle, and the distance from this position to each copper column is the same.

At this moment, there was a person sitting on the cushion, either someone else or Jiajing.

Jiajing was thin in appearance, wearing a Taoist robe, and had a very extraordinary face. It seemed that it was not inconsistent with any Taoist temple. It seemed that he was born to conform to the image of a Taoist priest in people's minds.

But he saw his five hearts facing the sky, pinching the Ziwu scripture with his hands, his eyes seem to be closed but not closed, and his breathing seems to be there or not. At a glance, he entered the Taoist method.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of clouds broke the loneliness.

Jiajing slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were bright and he looked very energetic, and he said, "When will it take?"

A eunuch's voice came from outside and said, "Old Master, the time has come, midnight has passed."

Among many Taoist methods, many Taoist secret techniques for the Ziwu exercise exercise emphasize that there is no benefit but also disadvantages. Therefore, Jiajing stopped the exercises on time, got up, and walked out of the quiet room. Immediately, a eunuch and palace maid emerged from the corner. All kinds of things were sent up like flowing water. Jiajing washed his hands and cleaned his face. After using a pill, he felt even more refreshed and walked out of the Wanshou Palace.

But I saw that there were countless lamps on the Wanshou Palace, which seemed almost like daylight. But looking into the distance, it was dark. It was obvious that it was only here that he was treated like this.

Jiajing looked at the stars in the sky, but saw the stars in the sky were brilliant. He pinched his hand and sang a few words. He carefully observed the positions of the stars, as if he remembered something, and asked, "Did the Imperial Heavenly Prison reply to the last time?"

This is a compulsory course in Jiajing’s day, which is to observe the celestial phenomena at night.

The last thing Jiajing said was either nothing else, but there was a lunar eclipse in June. However, the Imperial Heavenly Prison did not predict it. The astronomical calendar used in the Ming Dynasty was a Datong calendar modified and modified based on the time calendar of Guo Shoujing. Due to various reasons, the Datong calendar was inaccurately measured by the solar and lunar eclipse, which has become a chronic disease.

There were nearly ten eunuchs of all sizes beside Jiajing, all of whom were wearing red and wild red, and they looked very imposing. One of the eunuchs came out and said, "Report to the Emperor, Lord Yang of the Imperial Heaven Supervision has submitted a memorial to the apology."

Jiajing sneered and said, "Apology, apologize for guilt. What else will the Imperial Heavenly Prison do besides kowtowing and apologizing for guilt? A bunch of waste."

Jiajing didn't say anything, and his disappointment with the Imperial Heaven Prison was added to the point. He said in his heart: "I will deal with the Imperial Heaven Prison sooner or later."

He glanced at the astrological signs in the sky, then walked along the corridor outside Wanshou Palace, and he wanted to go to the main hall where he handled government affairs.

After exercising his qi every day and taking the pills, Jiajing was very excited for a while. From now until dawn, he rarely fell asleep. During this period, he used it to deal with government affairs.

As he walked, he asked the eunuch beside him and said, "Is there anything big of a deal?"

After all, Jiajing was not Zhu Yuanzhang. Since he was living in Xiyuan, Jiajing has become increasingly negligent. Therefore, he has less and less time to meet ministers. He reviews memorials more often. Therefore, the things he asked about were more important matters, and he would ask questions every day.

An eunuch said, "Report to the emperor, something happened to the King of Chu's mansion?"

Jiajing hesitated slightly, and Jiajing had no good impression of the King of Chu. He said, "What did he do?"

A eunuch said, "The prince of Chu killed his father."

Jiajing stopped suddenly, turned around, and looked at him wanting to kill someone in his eyes. His tone was a few tones higher, and he said, "Kill the father?"

Even in later generations, things like killing the father are outrageous, not to mention that in the ancient times when filial piety was the heaven, it was simply terrifying. Not to mention, those who did such a thing were the royal family members of the Ming Dynasty. For a time, Jiajing only felt that Wuming was in a fire and it was difficult to accept this fact.

You should know that in ancient times, the country and the whole family were integrated. Jiajing was not only the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but also the patriarch of the Zhu family. As the patriarch, such a thing happened to the family was simply slapping him in the face.

One of these eunuchs was one of them, and they didn't dare to breathe for a moment. They dared to hand over all the memorials sent by Wuchang.

Jiajing held three volumes in his hand, one of which was from the Jinyiwei, one of which was from the Governor of Huguang, and the other of which was from the Marquis of Fengcheng.

After seeing the 10-line straits of grass, Jiajing was furious and smashed the memorials on the ground, saying, "One is worse than a beast, and the other is like a beast."

There may be some concealment in the memorials of the Governor of Huguang and the Marquis of Fengcheng, but there is no danger in the memorials of the Jinyiwei. This is why Lu Bing can trust Jiajing. However, in the case, the people on Lu Bing said the truth. Even if it is not all the truth, it is part of the truth.

Therefore, what Jiajing saw may be different from the truth in details, but the difference is not much.

Even Zhou Mengchen's affairs were not omitted, and it was even more impossible to save money between the King of Chu and the Crown Prince of Chu.

I just don’t know whether Jiajing said that the King of Chu was accused of whether his daughter-in-law was worse than a beast, or was he like a beast, or was the prince of the King of Chu killed his father, and he was worse than a beast, or was he like a beast?

"Don't calm down." Seeing Jiajing getting angry, the eunuchs behind him knelt all over the ground.

Jiajing said: "Mr. Xia said what to do?"

The so-called Mr. Xia is Xia Yan. Now the chief minister of the cabinet, in the case of Jiajing's political affairs, most of the affairs are handled by the cabinet. This has also caused a de facto increase in the power of the cabinet.

"The emperor, Mr. Xia said that today's vassal kings repeatedly violate national laws, so they should be a typical example to serve as a warning. The King of Chu should inherit the four sons of the King of Chu. When he is young, he can be ordered to take charge of the King of Wugang." said an eunuch.

Jiajing said, "Just do it like this."

Jiajing thought for a while and said, "Huang Jin."

"I am here." Huang Jin said out of the line.

Huang Jin is an old man around Jiajing, and his status in the palace is also in one place. Of course, the reason for this is that Huang Jin is an old man who came from Anlu like Lu Bing, following Jiajing from Anlu. He has been serving Jiajing.

Jiajing said: "The cabinet has been dealt with, but the palace must not let it go to Wuchang for me. You can clean up the Chu Fan for me and don't let the Chu Fan embarrass me again."

Huang Jin said, "I understand."

Jiajing said, "Of course, you have to master the measure. You must deal with it. You must also reward what you should reward. If Zhou Mengchen is not a meritorious person, you must reward it well. Let the vassal kings in the world see if there is any messy thing, let them learn from Zhu Yingyao and wipe their necks quickly and don't let me worry."

Huang Jin said, "I understand."

Jiajing stretched out his hand and wanted to send Huang Jin away. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "The last time I visited the southern tour was the 18th year of Jiajing, right?"

The 18th year of Jiajing's southern tour was the last time the emperor of the Ming Dynasty went on a tour. Many things happened this time. Lu Bing took office and made contributions to the rescue of the emperor during the southern tour. Yan Song made a lot of efforts in this southern tour, and Xia Yan opposed the southern tour. From then on, Yan Song became an opponent from Xia Yan's younger brother.

Huang Jin said: "Your Majesty is not better than the wise."

Jiajing said, "After you go to Wuchang, go to Xianling together to see my father, mother and queen."

Huang Jin said, "I understand."

Jiajing nodded and waved his hand and stopped talking.

Huang Jin took a few steps back and was included in the eunuch.

Huang Jin took a deep breath, and a joy leaked from the corners of his eyes.
