Xiyuan, Longevity Palace.

This majestic palace was brightly lit, with several tall and powerful Han generals guarding the door. Eunuchs and maids were constantly coming in and out, carefully serving the irritable Jiajing.

Jiajing loved to be clean. In the summer, he would bathe every day, sometimes several times a day. Just after bathing, he put on a blue robe and came to the long desk in his office.

Because he believed in Taoism, he had already removed his desk and chair, and instead liked to sit cross-legged in front of the case and deal with the memorials. The memorials from the two capitals and thirteen provinces were gathered here, and he dealt with them one by one.

Among the twelve prisons, the Si Li Jian has a distinguished status, because this department is closest to the "power of approving the red". If the emperor is lazy or disgusted with the government, the Si Li Jian will approve the red for the emperor, thus being able to interfere with the central government. Decision making or personnel appointments.

However, in the Jiajing Dynasty, its authority was greatly reduced, and now it is more like a secretarial department. Huang Jinxiang, the chief steward of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is the housekeeper, and the four eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies are secretaries.

Tonight, the two eunuchs Chen Hong and Feng Bao assisted Jiajing in handling the memorials. At this time, they had already divided the memorials into categories and classified the memorials according to their priority, while memorials on general affairs would be sent to the cabinet.

In the past, all memorials were handed over directly to Yan Song. However, as Yan Song grew older, and Xu Jie won the recognition of the Holy Emperor for rebuilding the Longevity Palace, he already had the momentum to compete with Yan Song.

"What's important today?"

After Jiajing sat down cross-legged, he asked directly.

Chen Hong's qualifications are far better than Feng Bao, who is only 19 years old. In addition, he is in charge of Dongchang and is the second most powerful supervisor at the moment. He responded without hesitation: "Master, there has just been news from Guangdong. According to the news, Zhang Lian’s remnants of his party have been eradicated, and now the seas and rivers are clear.”

"Well! Hu Zongxian's contribution to Guangdong's stability is indispensable!" Jiajing's face softened slightly and he immediately praised.

Seeing that the Holy One was in a good mood, Chen Hong said seriously: "The commander of the Guangdong Dusi, Huang Hui, impeached the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhang Zhen, for his lack of military talent, and requested that he be deposed!"

"Leave it to the Ministry of War for discussion!" Jiajing frowned slightly and immediately issued the instruction. Zhang Zhen indeed did not contribute much to the annihilation of Zhang Lian. He did not intend to be partial to this impeachment, but decided to listen to the opinions of the Ministry of War. .

"Yes!" Chen Hong agreed immediately, but gave Feng Bao a wink next to him.

Feng Bao had a bitter look on his face. He didn't think that he, a "fake number" eunuch with a pen, was qualified to compete with Chen Hong, so he just recorded the incident honestly.

Many times, he doesn't look like the Holy Emperor's secretary, but more like Chen Hong's secretary.

Chen Hong took out something from the memorial and handed it to him respectfully: "Master, the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment was surrounded by hundreds of people. Cai Yuncheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, urgently sent a complaint in front of the Guan Palace Gate, asking the emperor to read it! "

Huh?

When Jiajing heard that hundreds of people from the capital were besieging the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, he immediately took the complaint seriously.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

Although he is the emperor of all the people in the world, once public opinion has its appeal, he must take it seriously. Whether it is for the stability of the Ming Dynasty or for his personal reputation, he needs to give an explanation to the people of the world.

"Lin Wenkui?"

Jiajing looked at the complaint and found that it was Lin Haoran who was in the limelight. His face was stunned at first, but then he felt a bit of resentment in his heart, and he already had the idea of ​​​​dealing with Lin Haoran.

He had previously thought about Lin Haoran's various achievements in Guangdong, and also thought that he was indeed young and would inevitably make some mistakes. Therefore, facing the impeachment of Gao Yao and others, he had no plans to deal with Lin Haoran.

But now, the matter involves the demands of the people of the capital. Although I don't know what big hole Lin Haoran has poked, Lin Haoran must be dealt with now to give an explanation to the people of the capital.

The most important thing is that if all the officials impeach Lin Haoran, he can still protect Lin Haoran. But when it comes to public opinion, no matter how stubborn he is, he still has to give the people of the world a good image.

Jiajing's good impression of Lin Haoran was gone, and he was ready to severely punish Lin Haoran. However, after reading the contents of the lawsuit, he was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Interesting! It's really interesting!"

Chen Hong and Feng Bao were below. Chen Hong was relatively calm, but Feng Bao's eyes were full of doubts. He had just learned about the complaint, and Chen Hong had not shown it to him just now.

At this time, Huang Jin led several palace maids carrying plates in and persuaded with concern: "Master, don't get so angry that you need to use the elixir!"

Jiajing has always attached great importance to taking elixirs. At this time, he put down the complaint in his hand, raised his eyelids and glanced at Huang Jin, and said calmly: "I'm not angry, I just think things have become very interesting!"

interesting?

When Feng Bao heard this adjective, his face became even more confused, and he found that the corners of Chen Hong's mouth were slightly raised, and suddenly everything was as expected.

"Master, why is this so interesting?" Huang Jin knelt down in front of Jiajing, handed over the elixir poured on the jade plate, and asked curiously.

Jiajing reached out and picked up two pills from the white jade plate, and replied jokingly: "The ministers all over the dynasty accused Lin Wenkui of improperly handling Huang Langzhong's case. They are all justified!"

"Isn't that true? Even Yan Ne said so. That case was indeed misjudged by Lin Wenkui!" Huang Jin handed over the water glass and responded with confusion.

Jiajing put the two pills into his mouth and swallowed them with the water in the cup. Then he pointed to the complaint on the case and said: "This is the people's complaint just sent by the Ministry of Punishment. Take a look!

"

"I accept your order!" Huang Jin respectfully took the water glass and then responded respectfully.

He reached out to pick up the complaint in the case, but glanced at Chen Hong and found that his competitor was looking at him jokingly. More suspicions arose in his heart, but he didn't know what had happened, so he looked at Chen Hong again.

He lost his godson Feng Bao, but what he got was a confused look on his face.

After Jiajing took the elixir, he sighed again: "It's difficult! It's difficult! It's difficult to be an emperor, it's difficult to be an official!"

Huang Jin was even more confused when he heard it, so he opened the complaint and read the content quickly. After the waiter read the content, his eyes widened in surprise, and his mouth opened wide enough to accommodate a person.

egg.

Huh?
