Xu Luqing pushed the door and walked in, stood beside Xu Jie, and was behind one shoulder. Xu Jie looked at the starry sky again. After a while, he sighed leisurely:
"Lan Daoxing is dead!"
Xu Luqing was silent, and he naturally knew about this... Lan Daoxing was recommended by Xu Jie to Emperor Jiajing. Xu Jie and Lan Daoxing had extraordinary friendship. Moreover, Lan Daoxing, as a famous Taoist priest all over the world, did have some ability. When Xu Jie recommended Lan Daoxing to Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing trusted Lan Daoxing deeply.
When Lan Daoxing gained the trust of Emperor Jiajing, Xu Jie conspired with him. As the cabinet, Xu Jie followed Yan Song, so he naturally knew when Yan Song would go to report to Emperor Jiajing. He asked Lan Daoxing to write the spirit in advance and said to Emperor Jiajing:
"There is a treacherous minister who reported the matter today!"
Yan Song then came to submit a memorial, which made Emperor Jiajing feel disgusted with Yan Song. However, Yan Song finally learned about this matter, which made Yan Song hate Lan Daoxing deeply. He instructed his grandson Yan Hong to design Lan Daoxing to be imprisoned and persecut him to death the day before yesterday.
When Xu Jie received the news, he felt a sense of depression. Without Lan Daoxing's inner support, he felt that it was difficult to defeat Yan Song.
"Father!" Xu Luqing was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Maybe the emperor will feel disgusted with Yan Song and his son when he learned about Lan Daoxing's death."
Xu Jie's heart was thunderous. This was not impossible. With his understanding of Emperor Jiajing, although he was a person of disgrace, he had longing for those who had died. Moreover, it was Lan Daoxing's death in history that made Emperor Jiajing gradually hear the evil deeds of Yan Song and his son. Emperor Jiajing's attitude was learned by Xu Jie, and Xu Jie ordered the censor Zou Yinglong to impeach him, and finally dismissed Yan Song and his son Yan Shifan was exiled. Xu Jie replaced Yan Song as the chief assistant.
Before this, Xu Jie was like a mouse in front of Yan Song, completely a follower of Yan Song. In history, Yan Song designed to frame Xu Jie many times. Xu Jie pretended to be deaf and dumb, never argued with Yan Song, and even married his daughter to Yan Song's son as a concubine. On the surface, he was very respectful. Yan Shifan was rude to him. He also swallowed his anger. After several small tests, Xu Jie did not dare to openly be enemies with Yan Song, but was just cautious, which was the ultimate skill of tolerance. This made Yan Song gradually not beware of him and kept his official position forever. He could be said to be the version of Goujian in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Xu Jie had developed the habit of being cautious and cautious in his heart within more than ten years of working with Yan Song, and he was even more afraid of Yan Song subconsciously. He never dared to speak out like Xia Yan, Yang Jisheng and Shen Rong, and had a direct conflict with Yan Song. He stared at Yan Song like a venomous snake lurking in the dark. He was either using Lan Daoxing or letting other colleagues stand up, but he was always hiding behind the scenes.
So when Lan Daoxing died, Xu Jie, who did not dare to face Yan Song, felt that he could not defeat Yan Song in his life and could only be suppressed by Yan Song for the rest of his life. Now when he heard Xu Luqing's analysis, his heart lit up. Perhaps his chance really began because of Lan Daoxing's death.
Yuxi Palace.
Emperor Jiajing was wearing a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on the big bed, with his eyes slightly lowered. Countless white candles were lit around, doors and windows were wide open, and window screens were flying in the night breeze. The candlelight flashed from time to time, and the blue smoke curled up, reflecting the more mysterious inside the hall.
Huang Jin stood in the corner of the hall, looking at Emperor Jiajing worriedly. He had been with Emperor Jiajing for too long, and no one knew the physical condition of Emperor Jiajing better than him. Looking at Emperor Jiajing's thin and old face, Huang Jin's heart felt sore.
"Hu..." Emperor Jiajing let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and did not look at Huang Jin, as if he was talking to himself:
"Is Lan Daoxing dead?"
The cold voice echoed in the hall, making the hall even more lonely. Huang Jin in the corner replied in a low voice:
"Go back to Your Majesty, Lan Daoxing went there at Chen Shi."
Emperor Jiajing sat there silently, and the pale color on his face gradually turned red.
"call……"
A strong wind blew in from the doors and windows, blew up Emperor Jiajing's hair. The candlelight in the hall was clearly extinguished, and Emperor Jiajing suddenly raised a shrill roar:
"ah……"
"call……"
The strong wind became even more violent, and it actually blew out all the candles in the hall, and the entire hall became dark and deep...
Huang Jin ran around in a panic and lit the candles one by one in the hall. When he just lit the candles a few, he hurriedly looked at Emperor Jiajing. He saw that Emperor Jiajing's face was pale and his face was covered in sweat.
"His Majesty!"
Huang Jin's hand lit a candle was frozen in the air, and he trembled and called to Emperor Jiajing. However, Emperor Jiajing did not react at all. Huang Jin felt that his body seemed to fall into the ice hole at this moment, and walked towards Emperor Jiajing tremblingly, calling as he walked:
"His Majesty!"
Emperor Jiajing finally moved, raised his eyelids and looked at Huang Jin, and then fell behind him.
"Your Majesty!" Huang Jin threw himself in front of Emperor Jiajing. Seeing that Emperor Jiajing had already fallen into a coma, he shouted in panic:
"Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor..."
"What?" Xu Jie, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened and asked in surprise when he looked at the eunuch who came to report the news.
"Hurry! Go to the palace!" Yan Song walked out the door tremblingly.
In Yuxi Palace.
At this time, the imperial physician had retreated, and Huang Jin stood beside Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing leaned against the soft pillow, closed his eyes, and his face was as pale as paper. If his chest was not still undulating, it would be like he was dead.
There were two people kneeling in front of Emperor Jiajing's bed, Yan Song and Xu Jie. Emperor Jiajing did not speak, so they had to kneel there, even breathing very lightly.
It was unknown how long it took for Emperor Jiajing to open his eyes slightly and his eyes fell on Yan Song. Since Lan Daoxing was imprisoned, Emperor Jiajing has become alert to Yan Song and began to secretly investigate Yan Song's actions. Yan Song's actions have gradually been known to Emperor Jiajing. Now that he heard that Yan Song actually dared to persecute Lan Daoxing to death in prison, his anger at Yan Song burst out. He felt that he had been deceived by Yan Song, which was the most untolerant thing that Emperor Jiajing could not tolerate. But seeing Yan Song's old attitude, kneeling there and wandering, a hint of pity appeared in his heart. He took a deep breath, and the voice rang coldly:
"Yan Song, Xu Jie, you two are my right-hand men. I will give you this world. Is this how you guard the world for me?
You told me that you should attack the south and defend the north, first solve the problem of the Japanese pirates in the south, and then turn around and deal with the northern Tartars. But what did I see? What did I pay? What did I get?"
