Idle courtiers

Chapter 508 The Invisible Cage (seeking tickets)
The living room in Jiajing is ventilated all the year round, and it is very cold.

At this moment, it was warmed by the floor heating, and dewdrops had formed on the half vase inlaid on the wall.Even the petals of the wintersweet inserted on it are wet and shiny.

There was no one else in the room, only Jiajing was lying on the couch with a thin quilt covering his body.

Zhou Nan whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

There was no answer, and Jiajing's low breathing was heard next to his ears, long and short, appearing chaotic and without rhythm.

Zhou Nan walked in front of him and looked intently.However, Jiajing's face had completely lost its luster, and a waxy yellow color emerged.The three long beards that were beautiful in the past are also withered like straw.

His eye sockets were sunken, and at some point two senile spots the size of soybeans appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Zhou Nan knew that the emperor had passed out, but he didn't expect to see him for two or three days, and he became like this.Feeling sore in his heart, he quietly withdrew.

He beckoned a little eunuch to come over, and asked, "Can you invite the imperial doctor?"

The little eunuch: "I didn't pass it on."

Zhou Nan was furious: "Your Majesty is sick now, why don't you pass it on?"

The little eunuch looked terrified: "I have also played the Long Live Lord, but His Majesty said that he would be fine if he took the elixir. What kind of imperial doctor do you want? The Long Live Lord said that he feels very good."

Zhou Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately remembered what happened in Jiajing Santu Tai Hospital.

There were ghosts of the Imperial Hospital behind the death of all the kings of the Ming Dynasty, and Jiajing naturally couldn't trust them.Don't get cured of his illness, but he was killed by the imperial doctor first.

The imperial physician directly grasped the emperor's condition, and all forces were watching closely.

"Well, since His Majesty said so, please don't tell Tai Hospital."

Zhou Nan knew that Jiajing was on his deathbed, and he might not be able to wake up from this coma.The old man hasn't explained his funeral yet, once he leaves, the court situation will be in chaos.

Even though he is a bold person, he was still a little flustered.

At this time, Huang Jin had to come back.

Only Huang Jin can hold the scene.

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan walked towards the Xiyuan office of the cabinet, wanting Shi Wenjiang to bring a letter to Huang Jin.

Xu Jie is on duty in the cabinet today, but unfortunately the old man is not there.Asked about Shi Wenjiang again, the secretary office inside replied, I heard that Shi Sheren was coming to take up the post, but he hasn't arrived yet, probably the Ministry of Officials is still going through the procedures.After all, the official position of Zhongshu Kesheren has no background requirements, and his grade is also low, but he is in the center, which is very important. It takes half a day for the review by various agencies and departments.

If it gets stuck anywhere, it will be delayed for several days.

Zhou Nan couldn't help but panic in his heart. With the current situation of the emperor, he had no way to leave.If you leave Xiyuan, if something really happens, you will be completely passive.

Had to go back to Yuxi Palace, the emperor was still in a coma.

After lunch, Zhou Nan went to the cabinet to check the room again. Not only did Shi Wenjiang not come, but even Xu Jie was not there.

After asking, I found out that there was indeed a problem with Shi Wenjiang's appointment. The Ministry of Officials approved it, but when it came to the cabinet, he was blocked by Gao Gong.

What a shrewd person Gao Gong is, he obviously realized that this seemingly insignificant personnel change has a lot of meaning.

Zhou Nan asked again: "Where is the chief assistant, isn't he on duty these few days?"

The Secretary's office replied that Shoufu had more important matters to deal with in the past few days, so he changed his post.

It turned out that after a few days of rest, the officials of Ke Dao started to make trouble again, and once again submitted papers to ask for the holy face, and asked the court to establish a prince as soon as possible.

The cabinet naturally rejected them one by one.

The officials refused to comply, and started again. This time, not only the science and the Dao, but also the middle and low-level officials of other central ministries were connected by them.

For a moment, the zhezi flew over like snowflakes, almost flooding the cabinet.

It was heard that several censors and the fiery Gao Gong had a quarrel, and almost made a move.

Xu Jie was busy putting out the fire, so he had no choice but to come to Xiyuan to be on duty again.Otherwise, if hundreds of officials attack the palace again, the situation will be out of control.

Zhou Nan stamped anxiously: "Which elder is on duty these two days?"

Secretary office: "In order, Yuan Cifu is on duty."

Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Old Yuan was his own person, and he was in charge of the house, so it was convenient for him to do things.However, Yuan Ge is so old and sick that he has only half his life left. Can he still go to work?

This Ming Dynasty is really old.The emperor was about to die of old age, and Yuan Wei could not live for a few months.Xu Jie is also about the same age, Gao Gong seems to be in his sixties, only Li Chunfang is better.

Elderly politics, blindly seeking stability, will the country be free from problems?

At this time, a man wearing a cloak and covered with snowflakes walked into the cabinet on duty, and said with a smile: "Zimu, long time no see. I have been reading the lesson plans you wrote in the inner school these days, and I am deeply inspired." what!"

It was Zhang Juzheng who came.

Zhou Nan was taken aback: "So it's Taiyue, why are you here, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Aren't I a Hanlin attendant of the Imperial Academy? Today is the monthly sutra feast."

Zhou Nan: "Your Majesty's dragon body is slightly ill. This sutra banquet will be cancelled."

Zhang Juzheng nodded: "Yes, but isn't Mr. Yuan Ge so ill that he can't take care of things? It just so happens that I got the emperor's order to enter Xiyuan, and the cabinet ordered me to stay here temporarily for two days as a second assistant."

Zhou Nan's heart was shocked, he immediately understood that Zhang Juzheng must have been arranged by Prince Yu's mansion to enter Xiyuan.

After Jiajing vomited blood, he had not summoned the ministers for many days, and anyone would be suspicious.

Now, the focus of the eyes of all parties is on Xiyuan and Yuxi Palace, and he is the one in focus.

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "It just so happened that I met Zimu today, and I just happened to have some issues to discuss with you."

After finishing speaking, he asked the book office to have a cup of tea, and took out the lesson plan written by Zhou Nan from his bosom to discuss with him.

It can be seen that Zhang Juzheng is very interested in the currency and credit system established by Zhou Nan, and he is not ashamed to ask.Zhou Nan complained in his heart, but was entangled by him, so he had to discuss it with him calmly for a long time.

Then he said: "Taiyue, I have to go to serve your majesty! You also know that Huang Jin is sick and recuperating at home, and Wansui is also short of people. Sorry, I have to leave."

Zhang Juzheng nodded: "That's right, business matters, I was being abrupt." After that, he pretended to be casual and asked: "How is Your Majesty now?"

Zhou Nan: "That day Ke Dao gathered a crowd to make trouble, and His Majesty was furious for a moment, and he vomited blood from the internal fire. He is an old man who wants to do great things, and he has recovered after a night of meditation."

Zhang Juzheng: "Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy and healthy, which is the luck of the country and the fortune of all officials."

Xu Jie was entangled by people from Ke Dao, and Shi Wenjiang couldn't enter Xiyuan, so things became unusual.Zhou Nan had no choice but to return to Yuxi Palace.

He felt as if he was locked in a cage, and Jiajing, who was unconscious, was a time bomb that could explode at any moment and blow him to pieces.
