'This emperor is finally done! '
Just as Jiajing was immersed in the endless joy of finally achieving greatness in his magic, he also had some doubts in his heart.
Why has the water in the golden basin in front of me not become less at all? !
Can magic not abide by the conservation of matter?
Just when the Jiajing Immortal was doubtful.
"Fire! Fire...!"
"Your Majesty is still in the main hall, please save your Majesty...!"
"Someone come and help me!"
"…………"
From outside the Taigaoxuan Palace, there were urgent shouts.
However, it was clearly visible that at the same time as this urgent voice was shouting, several new fires were inexplicably lit at the escape intersection.
This kind of rescue method is amazing.
'? ? ? '
'Could this not be my fairy fire? ! '
Even if Jiajing is obsessed with cultivating immortals, he still knows that life is precious and love is worthless.
Moreover, in the eighteenth year of Jiajing, he had already experienced a fire that almost killed him. If it were not for the charioteer Fa Xiao Lu Bing who risked his life to save him from the fire, the current Jiajing Immortal would be afraid He has truly become an immortal.
'Again? ! '
Facing this fierce fire, the first thought in Jiajing Immortal's mind was not to escape, but to get angry.
What happened in the fire in the eighteenth year of Jiajing's reign? Jiajing had some doubts in his heart.
Unlike his cousin Zhu Houzhao, the Jiajing Immortal was a homebody and rarely left the palace.
Only in the spring of the eighteenth year of Jiajing.
The Jiajing Immortal made a rare trip out of the palace for a southern tour, and the destination of this southern tour was Chengtian Mansion in Hubei.
Chengtian Mansion, formerly known as Anluzhou, was the hometown of Jiajing.
As the saying goes, wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking in brocade at night, Zhu Houcong also wants to play Liu Bang's card.
This time Jiajing visited Anlu Prefecture in the south, firstly because he wanted to experience a return home in rich clothes, and secondly because Jiajing's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Chiang, died of illness, and Jiajing wanted to personally host the funeral for his parents in Anlu Prefecture.
With an imperial edict, the southern patrol team was formed, with a total of more than 8,000 people, heading south in a mighty manner.
And from here on, weird things started happening.
In late February, the Jiajing Immortal was in a good mood and moved into two palaces in Zhaozhou and Linming.
Immediately afterwards, the front and back of the two palaces were on fire. Fortunately, the Jiajing Immortal ran away one step ahead and did not suffer.
But when I wait until February 28th, I won’t be so lucky.
Immortal Jiajing had just moved into Wei Hui's palace. While he was sleeping at the fourth watch, a fire broke out in the palace. Jiajing was choked to the point of unconsciousness. Not one of the more than 8,000 people entered the fire to save the emperor.
If Xiao Lu Bing hadn't risked his life and rushed into the sea of fire, Jiajing would have died.
In this fire, hundreds of people were buried in the flames, and many of the treasures brought by the saint were destroyed.
Afterwards, Jiajing jailed Wei Hui and a large number of officials in Henan for severe interrogation, but no useful evidence was obtained.
The investigation results of these three fires announced to the outside world were all concluded hastily because of the carelessness of the Yi Cong personnel.
You can understand if you are not careful once, but how to understand if you are not careful twice?
If you accidentally do it three times, you don’t need to understand it at all.
There is definitely a ghost.
At this moment, the Taigaoxuan Hall was in chaos outside, but there was a continuous fire inside. Jiajing could see at a glance that there was no way to escape. It looked like it had been carefully designed to put the gods to death.
'This bunch of bastards can't afford to play! '
From the perspective of conspiracy theory, with the degree of evil of Jiajing Immortal, we can certainly guess where this fire came from.
He put Zhang Cong back in charge of the cabinet and launched a series of new policies.
This will be a devastating blow to the inherent civil servant group, whose interests will be dealt a devastating blow.
With Zhang Cong taking action, it was basically impossible for the civil servant group to pose a threat to Jiajing in the court. Under Zhang Cong's suppression, this group of people would have no choice but to eat dirt in the future.
Moreover, with Zhang Cong's style of rectifying the administration of officials, coupled with the new policies such as the examination law that is about to be implemented, there will definitely be a series of corruption and corruption in the temple. Sour and refreshing.
Since the New Deal cannot be changed, then get rid of the people who created the New Deal. Obviously, there is little confidence in the resurrection of Zhang Cong. Who knows if this old guy can live a second time.
Therefore, it is an old tradition to simply do nothing and go directly to the biggest one!
At this moment, Jiajing inexplicably thought of Emperor Zhengde, who was easily soluble in water.
'Could it be that today the Japanese emperor is going to become the second Zhengde! '
Immortal Jiajing let out a long sigh, subconsciously took a deep breath, and the black smoke instantly filled his nose.
My whole body suddenly went up, I coughed violently, my head was buzzing and I felt dizzy.
He tried to escape from the hall again, but there were fierce fires approaching from both sides, and the beams began to collapse. Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't escape at all.
From the current situation of the Jiajing Immortals, we can draw a conclusion. It is obviously necessary to learn some common fire escape knowledge.
For example, immediately tear the clothes on your body into strips of cloth, then soak them in water and cover your mouth and nose.
For example, you must learn to find a suitable location to block the flames, wait for rescue, be sure to bend down and run when passing through smoke areas, etc.
"This emperor, this emperor, am I going to die here today?!"
Jiajing's body swayed slightly, and he felt increasingly confused.
This is Taigaoxuan Palace, within the Forbidden City, not in the Southern Patrol Palace. Firefighting teammate Lu Bing did not follow Shengjia closely, and it was too late to save him.
Holding on to the Taoist table next to him, Immortal Jiajing slowly slumped down and looked at the statue, breathing more and more rapidly.
"Master, Master...save, save..."
"Beep----"
……………………
Jianwen Time and Space, Yingtian, Study Room of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Lao Zhu, Zhu Laosi and Dao Yan were all waiting quietly at this table, but the immortal master had disappeared.
Lao Zhu was sitting, while Zhu Laosi and Dao Yan were standing.
"Father, please try this tea. This is the new royal tea offered this year. It's still new."
Zhu Laosi looked attentive and kept pouring tea for Lao Zhu.
"Um."
Lao Zhu hummed slightly and just picked up the tea cup.
Boom~!
There was a loud thunder in the sky and golden lightning like a horned dragon swam around. At the same time, a strong wind swept through Prince Yan's Mansion.
"The Immortal Master is back!"
Zhu Laosi's eyes were filled with joy, and he subconsciously looked at the place where the immortal master was sitting. As far as he could see, there was a 'Taoist priest' with a dark face lying next to the immortal master.
Ji Boying's expression was as calm as water. He picked up the red can of herbal tea in front of him and took a sip for himself.
Then he reached out and poured all the remaining herbal tea onto Jiajing's face on the ground.
Jiajing, who was lying like a corpse with his eyes closed and his face covered in charcoal black, suddenly opened his eyes when water splashed on his face, gasped for air, and subconsciously sat up.
What caught his eyes were four pairs of eyes.
"Teacher, Master!"
Immortal Jiajing's eyes turned red instantly, he almost sent it!
After regaining consciousness for a while, Jiajing quickly stood up and saluted Lao Zhu.
"Taizu."
Then he looked at Zhu Laosi.
"become…"
"Oh no, Taizong."
After receiving several beatings, Jiajing Immortal has long since become good.
"What's going on with you?"
"The great Emperor of Ming Dynasty is actually in such a state of abjection. If word spreads, where is the prestige of Ming Dynasty?"
Lao Zhu frowned.
In terms of seniority, Jiajing Zhu Houcong is the seventh generation grandson of Lao Zhu.
Jiajing calmed down and took a deep breath, with an awe-inspiring murderous intent in his eyes.
"Back to Taizu, Zhu Houcong was not strict with his subordinates and insulted the name of the Zhu family. Please punish Taizu."
'I have tolerated this bunch of bitches over and over again, so much so that they have withdrawn from the harem and refused to go to court. How dare they be so rampant! '
Regarding the previous fires and the Renyin Incident.
There is no reasonable answer and explanation in the history books.
But the history books don’t have the answer, the Jiajing Immortal himself has it.
His hair boy Lu Bing holds the world intelligence network. If Jiajing Immortal is willing to investigate, no matter how clean the evidence is, he can still find some clues under Jinyiwei's skynet.
The reason why Jiajing did not pursue the case was that in addition to being a Taoist priest who cultivated immortality, he was also an emperor who took the overall situation into consideration.
"Okay, your matter is over here. Lao Zhu and I will go with you."
"Before that, sit down."
Ji Boying glanced at Immortal Jiajing.
It is said that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is easily soluble in water, but if it falls on Jiajing's head, he is easily soluble in fire.
Let’s take a brief look at statistics from a historical perspective.
In the fourth year of Jiajing reign, there was a fire in Licheng Palace;
In the tenth year of Jiajing reign, a fire broke out in the east side house;
In the eighteenth year of Jiajing's reign, the Nanxing Palace caught fire three times in succession, and the Jiajing gods almost died in the flames;
In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing's reign, a fire broke out in the Queen's palace, and Queen Fang and more than a hundred palace maids were reduced to ashes. To be mentioned later, it was Queen Fang who saved Jiajing during the Renyin Incident;
In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing reign, fifteen doors on two floors of the three palaces were burned to the ground;
In the 40th year of Jiajing reign, the Yongshou Palace caught fire...
These are only the fires that have been clearly recorded in history books. Some small and medium fires are not included in the statistics because they are not qualified.
As an emperor, you would never encounter a fire in the palace once in your lifetime, but throughout the Jiajing period, the Jiajing gods encountered fires more than a dozen times, and it was undisputed that the God of Fire descended to earth.
"yes."
Immortal Jiajing nodded.
He has a good mind and naturally understands the meaning of the immortal master's words.
Since there was a fire in Taigaoxuan Palace and His Majesty the Emperor was in the palace, he must be dead. At this time, it would be the turn of ghosts and monsters to appear.
Give them some time first to let these monsters and monsters show up, and then go back and kill them all.
"Master Immortal, can you take me with you later?"
Zhu Laosi kept saying that he also wanted to join in the fun.
Dao Yan subconsciously wanted to open his mouth, and he obviously wanted to do it too, but he still didn't say anything.
Regardless of his status, he is still an emperor.
Who am I? A hairless monk.
"No need, there are too many people."
Ji Boying decisively rejected Zhu Laosi.
When Dao Yan heard this, he took a long breath and felt mentally balanced now.
"Everyone sit down and let's finish talking about the best way to remedy the conflict between the North and the South."
Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Laosi who was still standing.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Zhu Laosi nodded repeatedly and sat down.
Jiajing, on the other hand, was thinking about who was messing with him.
"The best strategy lies in four words."
"North and South Bundle."
As soon as these four words came out, Lao Zhu and Zhu Laosi frowned, and Dao Yan also had doubts in his eyes. It was obvious that they did not understand what these four words meant.
"Let me give you an example."
"The economically prosperous Zhejiang and the financially poor Shanxi are bundled together. The economy and taxation of these two places are all subject to bundled assessments, and the assessment of these two chief ministers is related to the cabinet members."
"What will happen if this happens?"
Ji Boying looked at Zhu Laosi.
At this moment, Zhu Laosi felt a little dazed when he heard this. When the monk Dao Yan on the side heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with light and he kept saying.
"In this way, Zhejiang officials will definitely work hard to improve Shanxi's people's livelihood and finance. At the same time, above the temple, because the cabinet is responsible for the assessment of the two provinces, it will inevitably formulate corresponding policies to promote the development of Shanxi."
"I understand the immortal master's strategy."
"Wonderful!"
There was a look of enlightenment in Dao Yan's eyes.
“The essential reason for the division between the north and the south lies in the imbalance between wealth and poverty, in the imbalance of finances, and in the imbalance of people’s livelihood and well-being.”
"Um."
Ji Boying nodded.
Extremely smart is indeed more than just an idiom.
His idea actually originated from the peer-to-peer assistance from later generations.
Although this trick cannot be perfect, it can indeed make up for the economic and ethnic differences between different regions, such as Xizang, to a large extent in a short period of time.
"It's up to you to decide exactly what to do."
Ji Boying simply said the four words "North and South Bundle", but the series of policy formulations under these four words could at least be compiled into a book. This was not something Ji Boying could handle.
It must be left to those professional politicians who govern the country.
"Lao Zhu, let's go."
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu, and then at Immortal Jiajing who was standing aside and making an abacus.
He was counting how many heads he would chop off this time.
……………………
Jiajing time and space.
In Taigaoxuan Hall, fires continued.
When the flames soared into the sky, all the important officials in the court came to hear the fire. Especially when they heard that the emperor was still trapped in the sea of fire, all of them had "worried" expressions on their faces.
At this moment, in front of the main hall of Taigaoxuan Hall, the temple bosses gathered here.
Zhang Cong, who had returned to the position of chief minister of the cabinet, frowned as he looked at the main hall, which was now burning down.
Why did it suddenly catch on fire?
Obviously not long ago, I went to class with the Dog Emperor!
Could it be that the Dog Emperor really succeeded in refining immortality and transformed himself into a feather by burning fire? !
To Zhang Cong's left and right, Xia Yan, Yan Song, and other important ministers from the Six Departments such as Xu Jie, stood at the back, looking at the Taigaoxuan Hall that had been burned to ruins and was still collapsing, with heavy expressions. .
"There was thunder in the sky just now, and I saw a golden thunderbolt like a horned dragon falling from a distance. The thunder must have concentrated in Taigaoxuan Palace, causing thunder and fire."
Yan Song pinched his beard and analyzed it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Supervisor Qin Tian stood up.
"The thunder and fire coming from the sky is a punishment from heaven. This shows that there are evil and sycophants in the court!"
The strict members behind him nodded in agreement.
His gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, was directed at Zhang Cong. Isn't this evil sycophant the same Zhang Fuking who had come back from the dead?
Zhang Cong glanced at Yan Song thoughtfully, then turned to look at a majestic figure, who was walking quickly towards the officials.
"Commander Lu, how is your Majesty?"
Zhang Cong looked at Lu Bing who was approaching.
The words came out.
The eyes of Xia Yan, Yan Song and other important officials were all focused on Lu Bing, and they all wanted to get this key answer.
The expressions of the three people are different.
Zhang Cong was really worried, Yan Song was uneasy, and Xia Yan had unspeakable dilemmas.
"A body was indeed found in the palace, but we cannot tell whether it is His Majesty's."
For Lu Bing, of course he didn't want Brother Jiajing to be cremated. After all, this was his biggest supporter. With Brother Jiajing, as long as he, Lu Bing, did not rebel, he would be able to be popular and popular throughout his life.
"I'm here to ask you if your majesty can stay in the palace all the time."
Zhang Cong's eyes fell on a little Taoist priest who was stepped forward to guard outside the Xuan Palace. The little Taoist priest was trembling all over. He couldn't even understand a complete sentence in front of all the big shots in the court.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The little Taoist priest nodded tremblingly.
This nod made a sudden thump in Zhang Cong's heart.
Finished.
I'm alive, but the dog emperor is dead. If I change it to a hammer, the emperor will be dead.
Moreover, Yan Dang's singing and dancing just now was obviously to put the blame for the emperor's lightning strike on the forehead of his resurrected chief minister.
"Mr. Zhang."
"A country cannot live without a king for a day. You and I should go to the East Palace immediately to welcome His Royal Highness as the successor emperor and enthrone the throne in front of the emperor Daxing! In order to stabilize the world and rectify the foundation of the country!"
Yan Song stood up with a look of generosity for the country.
He was the first to say this. After the prince ascends the throne, he will be the first to become the first and second-in-command.
As for Zhang Cong and Xia Yan, they will all be labeled as evil sycophants because of this thunder and fire, and they will all get out. The prince is only ten years old and cannot rule personally. From now on, it is not Yan Ge Lao who has the final say in the Ming Dynasty's court.
From now on, the Ming Dynasty’s treasury will be Yan Song’s personal pocket!
Thinking of this wonderful future, Yan Song almost couldn't hold back the heavy expression on his face and almost laughed out loud.
'Our son is truly the greatest genius in the Ming Dynasty! '
From beginning to end, the mastermind and planner was Yan Shifan who was by Yan Song's side.
As Yan Song spoke.
Suddenly, among the hundreds of officials and officials behind him, the strict party members all followed the pace of the leader.
"What Mr. Yan Ge said is very reasonable. A country cannot live without a king for a day!"
"We should go to the East Palace to welcome His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"That's right, please welcome His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"………………"
The slogan became loud and ready to move.
Yan Shifan, who was beside Yan Song, saw that the situation had become a success and quickly pushed his father's arm. Yan Song reacted instantly.
"Everyone, follow me to the East Palace to welcome His Highness the Crown Prince!"
This seems to have left Zhang Cong and Xia Yan aside and regarded themselves as the chief and assistant ministers of the cabinet in advance.
Yan Song looked confident and led his group of strict followers to turn around.
Ding.
The pupils of Yan Song and the strict gang members shrank sharply.
From body to soul, everything trembled crazily at this moment.
Because the moment they turned around, a pair of cold eyes were reflected in their eyes.
That is, Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Houcong.
What the brothers said makes sense, the 23.59 update of Chapter 2 is too weird.
Posted at 23:00~!
The next one will be updated at 12 noon tomorrow! Asking for a monthly ticket! ! !
