Chapter 3 King Yu is crazy
Xiyuan, Wanshou Palace, the place where Emperor Jiajing practiced his magic.
This place was originally the location of the Leopard Room of Emperor Zhengde. It was built adjacent to the Forbidden City. It is located on Zhongnanhai and is the real political center of the Ming Dynasty today.
Originally, Emperor Jiajing did not live here, and even resisted it because his predecessor played himself to death here.
But twenty-one years after Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing no longer cared about these taboos.
That year, an unprecedented palace coup broke out in the Forbidden City. A group of palace maids, who looked upon humans and animals as harmless and weak, actually took the courage to rebel!
If the yellow silk cloth that was strangling Emperor Jiajing's neck hadn't been tied in a tight knot, Emperor Jiajing would have been almost sent away.
So after that, Emperor Jiajing had no sense of security in the Forbidden City. He looked at everyone as a traitor, so he moved to Xiyuan and lived in the building that he once laughed at. How many times have I been in the "Leopard Room".
But who was Emperor Jiajing?
Although it was not glorious in the matter of moving, it was also a slap in the face.
But how could he care about the opinions of mortals who only wanted to ascend?
So under the operation of Emperor Jiajing, the former Leopard Room became the current Xiyuan, and the shadow of the original Emperor Zhengde no longer remained.
This shows how the Emperor Jiajing’s mental skills reached the pinnacle!
Inside the Wanshou Palace Jingshe.
Emperor Jiajing, who had just died of his son, did not feel much sad at the moment. He sat on a futon in the monastery with Tai Chi and Bagua as the basis and the golden tent as the auspicious clouds. Yi Zhi Zhi Xuan Xiu Yuan Shen, aloof from other things, looks down on the people who come to worship with an indifferent and lofty attitude that does not express joy for things or sorrow for oneself.
Yan Song, who was wearing a Taoist robe and a fragrant leaf crown, knelt down and worshiped in front of Emperor Jiajing in an extremely respectful manner, without any regard for his dignity as the chief minister of the cabinet or his old and frail body.
"Your Majesty, the veterans and Xu Jie and others have drafted a posthumous title for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yan Song held high the posthumous title drafted for Zhu Zaihen with everyone in the cabinet. Play table.
When Emperor Jiajing heard Yan Song's voice, he closed his eyes and raised his eyelids a little.
Emperor Jiajing said: "The world is full of splendor, and the prince is extraordinary. He has a fairy spirit in his movements, and is not suitable for human play. This is the end of the world. Even if I can't bear it, I can't stop my son from becoming an immortal before me." .”
Zhu Zaihen died young, which should have been a heartbreaking thing, but in the words of Emperor Jiajing, he became a prince who was not good enough to play in the world, and he became an immortal and died.
Such an idea, at all times and in all countries, may only have been possessed by the Jiajing Emperor who wholeheartedly believed in Taoism.
After Yan Song heard what Emperor Jiajing said, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground safely. He was originally prepared to accept Emperor Jiajing's boundless anger.
After all, His Highness the Crown Prince was still alive and kicking yesterday, but he passed away early this morning. No one can bear such a thing.
But now Emperor Jiajing seems to have accepted the reality and is no longer sad or angry about this matter. This is a good thing for Yan Song, who was already frightened.
At least Emperor Jiajing wouldn't blame him for this.
Yan Song was excited and bowed again: "The prince was born with supernatural powers. He doesn't like the splendor and splendor. He is cautious and careful. I serve His Majesty in front of you. Now that I have ascended to immortality, I left my ministers and others. I feel sad in my heart and can't bear the tears." , I don’t know what to say, and I hope your majesty will forgive me.”
Emperor Jiajing couldn’t help but feel warm in his heart when he saw Yan Song, who was already full of hair and still loyal and crying.
Although Emperor Jiajing has been seeking mysteries for a long time and has an indifferent nature, he is still a human being after all. It is not true that the son he has raised for so long suddenly died like this.
Emperor Jiajing said again: "I think that I have been slandered and the prince is tired, how can I hide in confinement for a long time? It must be like the story of our ancestors. It would be unkind to hold it, but it will not be wrong in the end. I am sorry that it is lost now!" Can the things mentioned in that paper be cured? The prince abandoned me, and he knew that my heart was broken. However, considering how much my mother loved me back then, I haven't returned for a long time, which is my unfilial piety. .”
When Emperor Jiajing was talking about Zhu Zaihen, he thought of his mother again. His heart was not very sad, and he seemed to be really sad for a moment. Upon seeing this, Yan Song bowed again and advised: "Your Majesty, please give me my condolences."
Emperor Jiajing wiped the corners of his eyes and returned to his indifferent and profound state, "Huang Ban, go and give me a gift." Yan Song. "
Standing aside, Huang Jin, who was also wearing a Taoist robe, was like a little Taoist boy. After hearing Emperor Jiajing's instructions, he also bowed to Emperor Jiajing.
"Emperor, I have one more thing to do here."
Faced with Huang Jin's reply, if this was an ordinary slave, no matter how brave he was, he would not dare to say anything when Emperor Jiajing had already given instructions, but Huang Jin was different.
Huang Jin is the eunuch who grew up with Emperor Jiajing. He has a deep relationship with Emperor Jiajing. Huang Jin can say things that most people dare not say.
So, although Huang Jin is just an eunuch, he is by no means an ordinary eunuch!
"What's the matter?"
Emperor Jiajing moved his body and turned to look at Huang Jin. His attitude and expression towards Huang Jin were completely like one of his own family members. It's about being relaxed and at ease.
Such a comparison also made Yan Song, who was also in the monastery, feel envious, but Yan Song did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and resentment.
Because compared with Huang Jin, although he is the chief assistant, he is actually just a dog in the hands of Emperor Jiajing. Although Huang Jin is just a eunuch, he is like a family member of Jiajing, so among them The difference is still huge.
Huang Jin said: "Prince Yu's Mansion came to report that Prince Yu was too sad because of the prince's affairs and his speech was abnormal. The imperial doctor who diagnosed and treated him said it was a disease of loss of soul."
Emperor Jiajing heard this from Huang Jin At this, he couldn't help but frown.
"Lost Soul Syndrome? That's all. It's good luck for him. Xu Jie recommended a Taoist Lan to me a few days ago, saying that he is very capable and can predict misfortunes and fortunes. So he sent Prince Yu to him. Let’s see if we can get King Yu’s lost soul back.”
After Huang Jin heard the order, he obediently replied: "My slave, I obey."
Yan Song couldn't help but feel excited when he heard that Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards Prince Yu was so casual.
You must know that the only surviving children of His Majesty are King Yu and King Jing. Now that King Yu is "crazy", the one who will inherit the throne in the future will most likely be King Jing.
So at this moment, Yan Song seemed to have cleared away the clouds of fate and saw a bright future.
But in order to show loyalty, Yan Song decided to say one more thing.
Yan Song said: "Your Majesty, Prince Yu is so sad that he lost his soul, and I don't feel very sad in my heart. Although Taoist Lan has immortal Taoism, I think it's safe to ask another upright minister to assist me to calm down the spirit." , Help Prince Yu calm down as soon as possible."
Emperor Jiajing turned his head and glanced at Yan Song, feeling that what Yan Song said made sense.
Jiajing said lightly: "Who are you going to recommend?"
Yan Song bowed: "I recommend Gao Gong to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy!"
"Gao Gong?"< br>
Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment and seemed to have no impression. He did not seem to be an official of a certain faction, so there should be no problem.
So Emperor Jiajing issued an edict: "Go to the Imperial Palace and serve as a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, and enter Prince Yu's Palace to lecture on scriptures and teach justice, so as to rectify the atmosphere of the Palace."
