Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing was already the longest-lasting emperor, and his lifespan was second only to that of Taizu and Chengzu. He was considered a long-lasting emperor.

After all, people are physical bodies. Even the monarch of hundreds of millions of people cannot escape birth, old age, sickness and death. Jiajing is already an old man in his fifties. Not to mention seeking immortality, even living to Yan Song's age is a luxury.

.

In this cold winter, I suddenly left my bedroom where I had lived for more than 20 years, and the frightened left by the burning of Wanshou Palace that night, Jiajing's physical condition suddenly became dangerous.

When he was in good health, Jiajing, who was alive and energetic, thought it was no problem to live until he was a hundred years old, but his health was in trouble at the moment, and he even felt that he could not survive the Qingming Festival.

Jiajing was lying on the soft collapse. At this time, not only was he weak, but his originally firm will to practice Taoism was also slightly shaken. He said lightly to Yuan Wei outside the curtain: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Wei is the same age as Jiajing, but his body is not as delicate as Jiajing. He looks full of energy and is even more unworthy among the cabinet ministers.

He saluted in a regular manner and at the same time judged the state of the emperor's physical condition. It was just through the thick curtain, and Jiajing's voice was always low, making it impossible for him to accurately judge Jiajing's condition.

He was undoubtedly very concerned about Jiajing's condition.

He was able to go from Hanlin to Pavilion Minister in a few years because his Qing Ci was best written, so he received repeated relocations from Jiajing, and his status and power all came from the favor of the emperor.

Once Jiajing really has any shortcomings, his Qing Ci will be useless, and the new emperor may not look down on him. Since there is no team, let alone seeking the position of the chief minister, it is probably a delusion to keep the position of the cabinet minister.

That's right, he is the person who least wants something to happen to the emperor, which is related to his personal future.

"This year, your mansion is very lively, right?" Jiajing suddenly said.

Yuan Wei was shocked. This summoning was obviously not a good thing. He immediately replied carefully: "I entrusted the emperor, Hong Fu, I am now a minister of the cabinet, and there are indeed many more officials who wish me New Year's greetings to me than in previous years.

”

This answer is very clever. Regardless of whether Jiajing is blaming or not, giving the "reason for the lively mansion" to Jiajing will undoubtedly calm Jiajing's "angry".

After so many years of getting along, Yuan Wei also knew that the current emperor was not a broad mind. Like Li Mo in the past, although the reason was that he had a taboo, the biggest reason was that he was not restrained, for fear that others would not know that he would live a prosperous life.

Jiajing's tone indeed became gentler, and he explained the reason for summoning Yuan Wei and said: "I have always treated you well, you must not slack off, and you must continue to focus on Qingci!"

"I am obeying the teachings of the emperor!" Yuan Wei's forehead felt a layer of sweat, and he immediately admitted his mistake.

Because the mansion is particularly lively this year, there are endless people visiting him, and countless relatives and friends come to him. It will undoubtedly take time to greet these people.

The same is true. He did not take some time to write a few lyrics like in previous years, so he won the emperor's favor at the beginning of the year. This year, he did not even present a lyrics to the emperor.

But the current laziness has almost caused a bitter fruit, and the emperor is undoubtedly dissatisfied with it.

Yuan Wei felt very guilty and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for the kindness of my husband. Although I was on vacation at home and had many social engagements, I did not dare to neglect it. When I was on vacation at home, I had already completed two things.

The fine chapters will be presented to the emperor tomorrow!"

No matter what, even if you have to stay up all night tonight, you cannot give the emperor a bad impression of "forgetfulness".

Jiajing raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that he had misunderstood Yuan Wei, so he encouraged him: "Very good! As long as you can help me cultivate my own cultivation, I will definitely not treat you badly!"

"It is the blessing of the empress who can help the emperor to cultivate the mystery. I will do my best to do my best and be brave!" Yuan Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time expressed his loyalty loudly.

In essence, he also saw that the saint's rewards and punishments were clearly distinguished. As long as he could help the saint to cultivate the mystery, whether it was Qing Ci, auspicious or ambergris, he could get the saint's generous gifts.

In just a few years, he was able to jump from a small Hanlin lecturer to a cabinet minister, which was undoubtedly the result of Qingci. If he wanted to get the position of chief examiner of the society, he naturally had to go to Qingci.

Do your best.

For many officials of the Ming Dynasty, the current emperor is a foolish monarch who has not been to court for more than 20 years. However, for him, Yuan Wei, Yuan Wei is a great wise monarch.

Now, he has successfully entered the cabinet with Qingci. As long as he obtains the position of chief examiner of the examination, he will have 360 ​​Jinshi students, and he will undoubtedly form the Yuan Party headed by him and then participate in the throne of the chief minister.

The competition.

Yuan Wei came out of Yuxi Palace. Although he went from the warm palace as spring as possible to the cold outdoors, he clearly felt comfortable and breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving this depressing palace, he headed towards the Jinao Yufeng Bridge and planned to return directly to the Wuyi Palace's duty room to rush to create two Qing Ci.

He has already praised the emperor for his praise, but he has to make two exquisite Qingci anyway. Fortunately, he has put in a lot of effort on Qingci, which is not too difficult.

As soon as I got on the bridge, I saw Xu Jie leading a hypocritical Taoist priest, looking quite like a fairy bone.

"Gemaster Xu!"

Yuan Wei knew that he could not buy Yan Song's account, but he wanted to give Xu Jie a little face, and immediately saluted respectfully. The current situation is getting clearer and clearer. Xu Jie has won the favor of the emperor, and replacing Yan Song is an inevitable trend.

.

"Mao Zhong, you look good, you are praised by the emperor again this time?" Xu Jie asked quippedly with a gentle image.

Yuan Wei knew that this question had a mystery, so he naturally would not care whether he was praised or criticized by the emperor. He mainly wanted to inquire about the emperor's mood at this time from him.

He and Xu Jie had already formed a vague alliance, and then replied with a smile: "Georg Xu was joking. The emperor asked me to teach me a few words. I have to go back and reflect on myself now."

Xu Jie looked at Yuan Wei with a calm expression and shook his head in disbelief, but he undoubtedly guessed that the emperor was not in a bad mood now, so he led the Taoist priest away.

As a junior, Yuan Wei stood on the bridge and watched Xu Jie leave without any haste.

Just watching Xu Jie lead a Taoist priest to Yuxi Palace, he doesn't say he despised Xu Jie, but it is not a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to be the chief minister such a flattering person.

Yuan Wei walked a long way and finally saw Wuyi Palace. From a distance, he saw Wanshou Palace, which was being rebuilt in full swing, but shook his head gently.

Yan Song is actually more politically talented than Xu Jie, but he is too old after all, and now he is often confused. These three halls have extra materials, but they don’t know how to use them to rebuild Wanshou Palace, which makes Xu Jie take advantage of a big hole.

.

He returned to Wuyi Palace, but heard Yan Song calling him over, which surprised him. After all, he was only responsible for Qingci at the moment and did not participate in the specific work of the pie.
