Chapter 1802 The cusp of the limelight

The autumn in the capital is a bit chilly, and the blue brick streets seem to be less lively and noisy as before. After a few autumn rains, the sky is always gloomy.

However, the restaurants and tea shops are still as lively as ever. The scholars and people in this capital seem to have endless energy and wisdom. They always hold wine glasses or tea cups to whirl and point out the country.

"Hasn't Zhenwu Camp been disbanded?"

"Who knows this? I heard that the Ministry of Revenue deducted military pay!"

"The Ministry of Revenue is the head of the family. If it deducts other people's military pay, it would be strange if they don't make trouble!"

...

News about people in the capital has always been well-known, and news of the mutiny of Zhenwuying in Nanjing has spread. The wine customers or tea customers here pointed the finger at the Ministry of Revenue and Lin Yueran.

The dignified second-rank official of the Ming Dynasty and the Minister of Revenue, who holds the financial power of the Ming Dynasty, have become the "little devil" in the eyes of many of them, and they even blame Lin Yanran for the fault of the matter.

The truth of the matter has become less important. The public opinion in the capital has pointed the finger at Lin Yuran, directly pushing Lin Yuran to the forefront.

Lin Weiran has not cleared the suspicion of Liu Ruyue's incident, but he ended up getting involved in this matter again, which is a worse situation and is showing a storm.

But the noise in the city cannot affect the court, especially the current emperor Jiajing has been hiding in the West Garden to cultivate immortals and elixirs for many years. Even if the people in the capital shouted, it would not be heard from Jiajing.

In the West Garden, autumn is getting stronger and stronger, and the trees on Dayechi Island have withered and yellow, and this magnificent palace group has less vitality.

The eunuchs and palace maids came in and out of the Wanshou Palace. Everyone was like busy ants, walking on the smooth ground without any noise, looking like walking on thin ice.

The memorials on the front hall chief's desk were already piled up like mountains, but the eunuchs and palace maids did not stop, but hurriedly walked past and walked towards the dormitory of the inner hall.

Jiajing, the lord of the Ming Dynasty's billions of people, lived here. The person who dared to cough so unscrupulously here was Jiajing himself, which made the eunuchs and palace maids look scared and lowered their heads.

When he got inside, Huang Jin was already waiting anxiously. Under Huang Jin's guidance, the eunuchs and palace servants brought toiletries to serve the emperor's daily life.

Jiajing followed the same as before, sitting on the edge of the bed and washing up very well, but the wrinkles on his face increased significantly.

Although he was a long-lived emperor, he could not resist the erosion of time. In addition to his fair skin, he was not much different from many 60-year-olds, and the hair on his head was also gray.

After suffering from wind and cold last winter, his health has not improved. Although he insisted on fasting and taking spiritual pills, his condition has not improved, and his cough has been significantly worsened recently.

However, this did not shake his determination to practice Taoism. He has been a stubborn person since he was a child. Even on the day of his death, he would not give up his dream of immortality that he was eager to pursue.

"Master, you have a more severe cough than yesterday. Why don't you ask Doctor Li to come and take a look?" Huang Jin kept paying attention to Jiajing's physical condition and suggested with concern at this time.

Jiajing waved his hand with a stern face like a willful and stubborn child, but asked, "I don't need such ordinary things, send the spiritual pill in!"

Huang Jin sighed inwardly, and he also knew that the emperor was listening to the advice, so today the sun would come out from the west, and he waved helplessly to the eunuchs and palace maids behind the pearl curtain.

It's strange that as the elixir was taken off, Jiajing's body seemed warm, and the symptoms of cough were significantly relieved. The elixirs refined by Tao Fang, Tao Chengen and others seemed to be quite effective.

It has to be admitted that Xu Jie is only a good player in finding people. The Lan Daoxing, who was recommended in the past, has become the most respected Taoist priest of the preaching Taoist, and now Tao Fun, who is in charge, has become the first alchemist at the moment.

"Huang Jin, what news is there in Nanjing today?" Jiajing asked with concern after taking the pill.

Although he was addicted to Xiu Xuan, he was unwilling to become a sinner of the Zhu family and unwilling to lose the Ming Dynasty in his hands. The reason why he valued Yang Bo at the beginning was that Yang Bo was able to help him defend the border.

Since he learned about the Nanjing Zhenwu Camp Mutiny, he has also been anxious and attached great importance to Nanjing, so he was the first to inquire about Nanjing's intelligence.

It is almost noon now, and a lot of news will be sent to the palace.

Huang Jin is a very peaceful eunuch. He has always been able to ask about politics but not ask. At this moment, he responded with a hard face: "Master, I dare not inquire about it, but Mr. Xu and Mr. Yan have been here before.

It seems that there is good news to see how they look!"

Jiajing was satisfied with Huang Jin's duty, but he also felt that Huang Jin had less shrewdness, which was to ask Huang Jin to send someone to call Xu Jie and Yan Ne together.

Whenever there is an important thing, Jiajing often asks for advice from his ministers. It is precisely because he often asks for advice from the cabinet that the position of the cabinet in this dynasty reached its peak, and the status of the cabinet ministers was above the six ministers.

A little eunuch went to Wuyi Hall to convey the order. Xu Jie and Yan Ne seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and then followed the little eunuch towards Wanshou Palace.

ah……

A crow covered in black was building a nest in the bald tree beside the Taiye Pool. The black diamond-like eyes were staring at the person who was walking by the palace road, and it seemed to scream a few times.

The crow's cry did not attract the attention of Xu Jie and Yan Ne. They communicated while walking, as if they were the only ones left in the world.

Wu Shan walked from the palace gate and first heard the crows' crows, then saw Xu Jie and Yan Ne who were heading towards Wanshou Palace from afar. His brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although Xu Jie was not as powerful as Yan Song, he liked to send them, such ministers, to the side as the reason for writing history.

When Xu Jie took over Yan Song's position as chief minister, he sent Yuan Wei with the reason of compiling the "Xingdu Zhi", and even took the opportunity to arrange his favorite student Zhang Juzheng as vice president of the "Xingdu Zhi" for cultivation.

Now, he, Yan Ne and Li Chunfang, entered the cabinet at the same time, but Xu Jie suggested that the emperor arrange for the compilation of "Chengtian Dazhi", which made him and Yan Ne and Li Chunfang unable to grasp the core votes.

.

However, he knew very well that what Xu Jie really wanted to exclude was Wu Shan, like Yan Ne and Li Chunfang, who were already the next chief assistant he wanted to cultivate.

Li Chunfang led several Hanlin poets to busy in the history room. When he saw Wu Shan in, he looked respectful and respectfully said, "I have met Lord Sir!"

"Where is Old Ge Yan?" Wu Shan pretended that he hadn't seen Yan Ne being summoned just now, but he slightly raised his identity as the president of "Chengtian Ambition" and asked.

Li Chunfang is a gentle person, and he answered honestly: "Old Ge Lao Yan was called over by Yuan Fu earlier!"

"Huh? But what big thing happened?" Wu Shan asked with concern.

Li Chunfang did not suspect that he was cheating, and immediately shook his head gently and said, "It seems that nothing is serious. I heard the news from Nanjing. I heard that it can negotiate to resolve the mutiny!"
