Idle courtiers

Chapter 500 The Biggest Snowfall (Please recommend a ticket)
When Zhou Nan entered the jingshe, he saw Jiajing leaning on the couch, his face was so pale that no blood could be seen.

Huang Jin was combing his hair carefully with a boxwood comb.

With the reflection of the white snow projected from the window, Zhou Nan was surprised to find that Jiajing's long black hair had completely lost its luster and turned gray.

His cheekbones are not as tight as they used to be, and his skin looks loose.

This is already a frail old man.

Since he vomited blood when he got the news of King Yu's death last time, the emperor was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he could no longer sit cross-legged.

Zhou Nan pondered in his mind, Hai Rui wrote to ask for a crown prince, who does he want to have?

In fact, there is no good choice, but King Jing and Xiao Wanli.

Both are eligible to inherit the throne.

Little Wanli was even more favored by Jiajing, and after the death of King Yu, the emperor was more emotionally inclined to his grandson.

However, according to the principle that the father will eventually be succeeded by the son, King Jing is the first successor.

Then, Hai Rui stood over there.King Jing, or Xiao Wanli?
Zhou Nan was thinking about it, and Jiajing pointed to a booklet on the table beside him: "This is the booklet from Hai Rui, the head of the Zhejiang Department of the Criminal Ministry, do you know?"

Zhou Nan: "I don't know, Hai Rui made a few absurd remarks before, and the cabinet didn't take it seriously and directly refuted it."

Jiajing said indifferently: "I know, they don't like me spending too much money on cultivating longevity. What does it matter if I spend my own money with others? Hai Rui's previous booklets should be a fart. Do I have the energy to pay attention to it?"

Zhou Nan: "Your Majesty is right. If you lose your mind because of this kind of thing, isn't it bad for your practice? Life is a sea of ​​suffering, and the body is like a boat. Only when you keep a trace of clarity can you keep calm. Your Majesty is a true saint!" "

"That's not it. Today's booklet is different from the previous ones. Take a look first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Nan hurriedly picked up Hai Rui's notebook and read it carefully.

In the brochure, Hai Rui continued to extend the sentence "If you don't meet your sons, people will think you lack the affection between father and son" in his previous "Public Security Book", saying that your majesty is already old, and although he is virtuous, he can Life is 50 years, is there any reason for immortality?It is the way of heaven that the vegetation is withered and flourishing, spring flowers and autumn fruits.Confucianism has never talked about strange powers and chaotic gods. The so-called, if you don't know life, how can you know death.

The law of heaven reincarnates, and the reincarnation of all things is the ultimate principle, just follow it, so why avoid it?
We just need to do our own thing well and take on our responsibilities.

Your Majesty, as the king of a country, your dragon body is related to the happiness of all people, and you cannot escape it.Please also establish a prince earlier to reassure the people.

After writing this, Hai Rui's notes began to be rude.It is said that in the past dynasties, when a new monarch ascends the throne, he must first do two things, one is to choose the imperial mausoleum, and the other is to establish a prince.In this way, Datong and Jiangshan Sheji can be regarded as an orderly inheritance.For example, if your Majesty has not established a prince for 40 years, the minister has never heard of it or seen it.

His Majesty also said that "two dragons don't meet each other". When two dragons meet, one must be injured, which is even more nonsense.

Your Majesty, you and King Yu haven't seen each other for 20 years, and King Yu won't leave you forever...

Seeing this, Zhou Nan was horrified: Hai Rui, you are really upright, why did you mention King Yu's death? Isn't this piercing your heart?

At this time, Huang Jin had already combed the hair of Hou Jiajing, tied it in a bun and wore it with a jade hairpin.

Jiajing coughed lightly, a blush appeared on his pale face, and he said sarcastically, "Zhou Nan, I know you have me in your heart, and I greeted the cabinet, but I rejected all the papers from Hai Rui one by one, for fear that I would see it. But this time, the book was able to go from the cabinet to the supervisor of ceremonies, and finally to my desk, but I think things are not that simple. Some people are hoping that I will die soon!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Jin shed tears: "Master is a land god, how could he die, this old slave is still waiting for you to ascend in the daytime so that you can go to the fairy mansion with master to enjoy the blessings!"

"Don't cry, crying won't solve the problem." Jiajing still looked calm, but there was anger in his eyes that couldn't be concealed: "Go, pass on my order, and order Zhu Lun to arrest Hai Rui and interrogate him carefully. , Who asked him to write this book, and how did it get here, the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies will reply to me."

Yes, Jiajing was really furious.

Seeing this expression at this moment, Zhou Nan suddenly felt a deep pity.Yes, don't look at the emperor as the Ninth Five-Year King with power over the world, but he is also the most dangerous person in the world.Especially in his later years, everyone was looking forward to his death.

That's right, his death is great news for all parties.

When the emperor passed away, King Yu, Xiaowanli and King Jing all had the chance to ascend to the throne; various forces also wanted to bet on this great change and win a fortune; the reformers also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the new king to reform the bad government ...

When the elderly are dying, the family members are distraught and spend all their money and material resources, only hoping that their parents can live one more day and say a word to themselves.

But the emperor, everyone is looking forward to your death, this is the real loner!

Can people not be sad when they live to this extent?
Yes, in fact, in the matter of establishing the crown prince, both the Yuwang family and the Jingwang family are unprecedentedly united.Everyone has been fighting for so many years, and your emperor will not give you a letter of life or death. Now that you are so ill, it's time to arrange the funeral, and set up a battlefield for us to fight, right?

From Jiajing's point of view, it is possible to establish a reserve, but not now.As long as this is mentioned now, the court situation will be in chaos.No matter who is appointed as the crown prince, he will be trapped in a big vortex, and he might be accompanied by himself.

If Jiajing's political methods were used in the past, he would naturally have a way to deal with them, but now he has no energy.

We can only use Thunderbolt to take Hai Rui down first.

Zhou Nan sighed in his heart: Hai Rui still couldn't escape from this prison, maybe he might even lose his life this time.

Yes, in the real history, Shanghai Rui's "Public Security Book" was nothing more than scolding the emperor's mother, and Jiajing didn't take it seriously.There was a trace of appreciation in his heart, appreciating Hai Rui's integrity and outspokenness.

But this time is different, Hai Rui's involvement in the battle for the establishment of the reserve will be a dead end, and Jiajing is determined to kill.

That kid Zhu Lun is very shrewd and ruthless, I'm afraid Hai Qingtian won't be able to see the sun of tomorrow.

No, this time, no matter what, his life will be saved, otherwise, my thoughts will not be clear.

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan took off the hat on his head, and bowed slowly: "This matter is the fault of the minister, and it is a death penalty."

Jiajing was surprised: "What does Hai Rui have to do with you?"

Zhou Nan: "It was Xu Shoufu who appointed Hai Rui to be the head of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. At the beginning, the courtiers also recommended him from the Shoufu. I don't know people well, so I can't escape the blame. Please ask your father to punish him."

"You recommended, and Xu Jie appointed?" Jiajing stared at Zhou Nan with black and white eyes.

Zhou Nan's scalp was a little numb: "That's right, I dare not bully you."

At this time, Huang Jin interjected: "Hey, Mr. Zhou, you are really confused, how can you recommend a second shot?"

Jiajing's expression softened: "Send Hai Rui to the Ministry of Punishment and convict him after a joint trial by the three judicial departments? Zhou Nan, you don't know who you are, and you will be fined for one year's salary."

Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Jun." Now, Hai Rui finally saved his life. Good people can't just die like this. If they see it, they will help if they can.

Anyway, I won't receive a salary for the next three years, and it doesn't matter if I'm fined for another year's salary.

Zhou Nan's words sent a clear message to the emperor just now: Hai Rui's request to establish a crown prince is a personal act, and has nothing to do with any forces in the DPRK and China. The emperor, please don't over-interpret it, this is a pure accident.The reason is very simple, Hai Rui was promoted by himself and Xu Jie to important jobs.And Xu Men, or Zhou Nan, King Jing and King Yu all have enmity.If anyone in the whole world is looking forward to Jiajing's immortality, it is only the Xu family.Because, whether King Jing or King Yu ascends the throne in the future, Xu Jie and Zhou Nan must be dealt with first.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, being an imperial party and serving the emperor has always been a thankless task.

Speaking of which, the current Xumen is really a bit like Yan Song's strict party back then.

To put it bluntly, Hai Rui is a stick. Your Majesty, if you really can kill him, I'm afraid that the Yuwang Party and Jingwang Party will take advantage of this opportunity to stir up demons.

Jiajing's political methods are so clever, he immediately understood the meaning of Zhou Nan's words, and then ordered Hai Rui to be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to await trial.

Hai Rui was originally the head of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and his personal safety could be guaranteed when he was locked up in his own prison.At that time, the joint trial of the three judicial departments may be nothing.

Zhou Nan sighed again in his heart: "Jiajing, you probably don't know that labor and capital are already preparing to burn King Jing's cold stove, and little Wanli hates me to the bone. Although King Jing is not easy to get along with, but the two evils are the lesser of two evils. There is no way."

Thinking that the matter was so clear, Zhou Nan served the emperor for a long time, and at night, he just returned to his public house in Xiyuan to go to bed.

Suddenly, my student rushed over and shouted: "Teacher, something is wrong!"

Zhou Nan asked: "What's wrong?"

The little eunuch was full of steam from running, with a look of panic on his face: "I heard that Hai Rui was arrested for submitting a letter. His Majesty, even all the prime ministers in the cabinet and the ancestors of the ceremonial supervisor rushed over, but no matter what they said, they couldn't stop it."

Zhou Nan was shocked: "Where is Your Majesty?"

The little eunuch: "Your Majesty is still in Yuxi Palace, you old man should go to the Long Live Lord as soon as possible!"

Zhou Nan hurriedly put on his cloak and rushed towards Yuxi Palace.

It was dark now, and lights were lit everywhere.

There has been heavy snowfall in the sky, which is the biggest snowfall since this winter.

The wind roared furiously, as if his whole body was blown through, the cold was unbearable.

Accidentally, I stumbled.

As soon as he got up, he saw bright lights ahead, and the emperor's imperial chariot approaching.

Huang Jin walked in the front: "Servant Zhou, please be more careful, don't fall and get hurt, go to the south gate quickly."

Jiajing's cold snort came from the chariot: "What's the mess, I can't turn the sky...cough, cough..."

　Ask for recommendation vote support, thank you!
