Zhu Chongba, who was born into a cattle, hated corrupt officials, but respected scholars very much.

Since the eight-legged scholars were selected, scholars have been happy. If they have knowledge, they will easily be respected by the people. After they have fame, they will be exempted from labor service and will be appointed as official positions, and they will be of great power.

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty were very proud. What were the emperor’s faults? The censors dared to point at the nose and scolded him. What were the emperor’s excessive demands? The cabinet dared to reject them. They were proud of leading the court and sitting in prison. They often hit the pillars of the court and the palace gate.

This is a sign of a good temper. When you have a bad temper, these gentle ministers will get angry and will also wield old punches to hit people.

During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Shun, who served as the commander of the Jinyiwei, was eventually beaten to death by all officials in the court because of public anger. It can be said that he created a feat.

Of course, not every official has the shame and solar terms of a scholar. A large number of officials still obey the emperor's words and willingly serve the emperor. Not every emperor is surrounded by civil and military officials.

Jiajing is an outstanding representative.

Jiajing, who had a very high IQ, had already fought against all officials with extraordinary courage before he ascended the throne. After ascending the throne, he even played with the officials in applause.

If you don’t go to court, no matter how bad your eloquence is, you can’t find a partner if you want to scold.

He just didn't go to court, but through his increasingly skillful imperial skills, Jiajing kept holding power tightly in his hands and never letting the imperial power fall.

I can only say that having strength is so willful.

The ministers were not helpless, that was to write memorials and use overwhelming memorials to force Jiajing to make judgments and reactions.

Just the second day after the accident occurred in Prince Yu's mansion, something Chen Yiqin was worried about still happened.

Jiajing still did not attend court. Perhaps he was disdainful of reducing his IQ and wasting time in the court by the ministers, so he just asked the officials to leave the memorials and then dispersed the court.

All the officials dispersed, but the eunuch who was responsible for receiving the memorials was shocked. There were only more than ten memorials on weekdays, but today it was twice as many as possible.

Something big must have happened again.

However, these have little to do with the eunuch, so he can just put them on the desk of Jiajing Xiyuan.

In the palace and the western garden, looking around, wisps of blue smoke, the fragrance of medicine enters the nose.

The body became worse. To outsiders, Jiajing took too much elixir, but in Jiajing's eyes, it was because his refining medicine was not as fast as his physical aging. For his dream of ascension to the immortals, he focused more energy on elixir refining.

Zhu Xizhong was waiting outside the Danfang wearing a Taoist robe, next to him was a little eunuch named Chang'an.

Chang'an is the young eunuch who is responsible for serving Jiajing, a part-time doctor and a "little mouse" who is trying medicine.

"How long has the emperor been practicing?" Zhu Xizhong suddenly asked.

"If you return to the country, the emperor has not come out for a day and a night." Chang An responded quickly.

One day and one night, probably not much.

Zhu Xizhong nodded and said he knew, and then continued to wait patiently.

Anyway, this has become a habit, and many people just want to wait and don’t have this opportunity, and Zhu Xizhong’s most undesirable is patience.

Fortunately, Zhu Xizhong didn't wait too long this time. After about half an hour, with a "squeak", the door that had been closed for a long time opened, and then a hot air came to his face, with an indescribable scent of medicine sandwiched in the heat.

"I will meet the emperor." Zhu Xizhong immediately saluted respectfully when he saw Jiajing.

Jiajing was in a good mood and laughed and said, "So Zhenqing is here, please don't have a gift, so let's sit down."

The emperor has refined good elixirs again.

Calling Aiqing means being in a peaceful mood, and calling an official position means being in a bad mood. Calling a word for himself means being in a good mood. Seeing his face coming out of the alchemy room with a spring breeze, you can guess no matter how stupid he is.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After sitting down, Zhu Xizhong smiled and said, "As soon as he came, he smelled the fragrance of medicine, the emperor will definitely be able to refine a good pill. I wonder if he can give me a few pills of me, and he can also enjoy the emperor's blessing."

"Zhenqing, your nose is so good. I have just refined a furnace of excellent Nine-Turn Golden Pills, and you are here. It turns out that it is a golden elixir that is greedy for me. It's better to come sooner than you can. I'll give you a pill." Jiajing was in a good mood and agreed with a smile.

When you refine good elixirs, someone needs to know about it before you can be proud.

Besides, Jiajing also has the habit of refining elixirs for others to taste first. He can watch other people's reactions and then take them by himself. After all, elixirs can be refined again, but his life is only once. Jiajing has always been very careful.

While speaking, a eunuch took a red pill and sent it to Zhu Xizhong.

Zhu Xizhong did not hesitate at all, put it carefully in his mouth and then took it with wine.

"Good pill, good pill" Zhu Xizhong's eyes lit up: "As soon as the nine-turn golden pill was in his stomach, a warm air rose from the dantian, and his whole body was warm and his spirit suddenly came up."

The elixir contains lead, which is a chronic poison. After taking it, you will feel like you are floating in the air. Jiajing has been immersed in this feeling for many years.

Zhu Xizhong actually doesn't like elixirs, but this is a way to get close to Jiajing. He has worn Taoist robes, so he doesn't care about taking some more elixirs. The emperor has not seen anything for decades, so he is afraid of anything.

Yan Song and Xu Jie accompanied Jiajing to refine alchemy. In the end, they were favored and valued. Li Chunfang, Yan Ne, Guo Pu, Yuan Wei and other poets were also appreciated by Jiajing because they were good at writing Qing Ci.

Although he was a Duke of the State, Zhu Xizhong was also a flesh-and-blood person. With more emperor favors, it would never be a bad thing. This is called having something to like the top and having something to do with the bottom.

Jiajing was even more proud when he heard this. He drank tea and said, "My dear, when I was in seclusion and refining elixirs, nothing major happened to the court."

"Something happened to disappoint the emperor." Zhu Xizhong said with a wry smile.

At this time, Jiajing noticed the high memorials on the desk and said with an unhappy look: "It has something to do with those memorials?"

"The Emperor is wise."

Jiajing closed his eyes, rubbed his somewhat tired brow with his hands and said, "Tell me what's going on."

Zhu Xizhong did not dare to neglect the matter and said it all in detail. In the process of speaking, he was neither biased nor extravagant, and only told the matter, without any personal emotions added to it.

"Hmph, I know these people won't live in peace. There is still half a month left before Qiu Ji, and it will start making trouble so soon." Jiajing finished speaking to himself, and asked again: "My dear, how are you doing now?"

"If you go back to the emperor, this is just a small dispute. The five cities military officers have taken over, and the Wei ministers are daring and have not intervened."

"Five City Military Command? Humph, when they clarify, the daylily will probably be cold." Jiajing said disapprovingly.

Zhu Xizhong carefully took over the conversation: "Master, then the empress will take over now?"

"No" Jiajing said unexpectedly: "Let them do it, as long as it's not too much."

In the past, Jiajing's idea was to achieve immortality and the throne could last forever. However, after decades of work, Jiajing was a little annoyed. If he was a god, he would do it well in the sky, and he would not have so many worries.

Whether it is death or ascending to immortality, the Zhu family's country still has to be inherited. It is time for them to fight and see the dark side of the officialdom and the world.

"Yes, the emperor."

Jiajing walked to the case and sat down and picked up a memorial. Sure enough, it was the memorial of Ma Sen, the Minister of Revenue. In the memorial, he impeached King Yu, saying that he was ineffective in discipline, and instructed the guards in the mansion to beat innocent Imperial College students and asked the emperor to take charge. Jiajing showed a sneer on his lips and threw it aside.

He picked up the second memorial, and the censor Zheng Luo sent it to impeach King Yu and failed to discipline. The guards in the mansion should be robbed of life-saving money for the people to treat the disease. Because an old woman died in vain because she could not be treated and died in vain, the emperor asked the emperor to punish King Yu.

The memorial was written in the form of flowers and brocade, and the words were written in the form of flying dragons and phoenixes. Unfortunately, Jiajing was not interested at all and threw it aside.

More than ten people, including Chen Xue, the Imperial College Chief, Song De, the Minister of Rites, Zheng Rong, and more than ten others, all of whom impeached King Yu. The contents were similar. King Yu did not love himself, had lost his princely style, and had poor character. He also implied that he was not suitable to preside over the autumn festival.

What's more, some people pointed out in the memorial that King Yu did not abide by the etiquette and flirted with concubines in the harem, and his son's birth time is the best evidence.

"Pride" Jiajing was so angry that he swept the rest of the memorials to the ground.

These royal secrets are simply bold to spread out.

When is it the turn of the minister to discuss about the royal affairs?

"Don't calm down." Zhu Xizhong quickly knelt down and persuaded.

The palace maid and eunuch in the room were so scared that they knelt on the ground, their faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to speak for a long time.

When a man gets angry, blood splatters five steps; when a general gets angry, blood splatters; when the emperor gets angry, he hides millions of corpses, and when Jiajing gets angry, the momentum of the superior person suddenly bursts out. Even if he kneels down, Zhu Xizhong feels frightened. (To be continued...)
