When Prince Zhu Zaijie passed away, Jiajing was indeed extremely sad. Who among parents does not love his children? Even the emperor Jiajing is no exception.

When the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Zaiji died, Jiajing was already very sad. At this moment, his second son Zhu Zaiji passed away, and Jiajing was even more sad.

To be honest, I don’t have much impression of the eldest son Zhu Zaiji and Jiajing, because Zhu Zaiji died less than two months after he was born, and even his father would not scream. How much impression can he have?

Jiajing was deeply impressed by the emperor's second son Zhu Zai-ri, and he trained this son as his successor.

When Zhu Zaijie was three years old, he made him the crown prince. When Zhu Zaijie was in his teens, he ordered him to supervise the country, which shows how deep his expectations were.

Unfortunately, such a successor has been trained for more than ten years and died like this!

These days, Jiajing's mind was almost every bit of it that he was with his second son Zhu Zai'er, and he was always in grief, so that his cultivation stopped.

He still remembers how excited he was when Zhu Zai-ri called him "Father" for the first time under the guidance of his mother.

He still remembered that Zhu Zai's gentleness, respect and caution were both gentle and cautious. Once, he asked Zhu Zai's why he was so cautious. Zhu Zai's reply was like an adult: "I dare not raise my hand all the time, saying that the sky is above."

He still remembered that whenever something big happened in the court, this good son did not dare to make decisions without authorization. Instead, he hurriedly ran over to find him with the memorials of the ministers.

He still remembers a lot, a lot.

Whenever he thinks of this, he can't help but burst into tears.

Such a well-behaved son died like this, why isn’t it so sad?

Jiajing was extremely sad at this moment, and Yan Song was also very sad.

As for the reason, it's very simple.

Because the current crown prince Zhu Zai's death, according to the Ming Dynasty, the position of crown prince will be passed on to the third prince Zhu Zai's.

If Zhu Zai Di succeeded to the crown prince or even then supervised the country, his life would be difficult.

You know, Zhu Zaiwei is Yang Cong's closed disciple, and his relationship with Yang Cong is so good. Rumor has it that this prince rarely stays in his Prince Yu's mansion and stays in the Yang Mansion all day long. He is like a father and son with his master Yang Cong.

If this kid succeeds to the prince and governs the country, that's all!

He was really afraid, afraid that this kid would deal with him under Yang Cong's instigation. If that was the case, even if he was favored by Jiajing, he would probably be ruined.

What would Yang Cong do like this?

He was sure that Yang Cong would definitely do this!

This guy Yang Cong is so silly. Such a good opportunity is impossible for this guy to let go.

So, what should I do?

Did you make Zhu Zai Di? Will you let the fourth prince Zhu Zai Zhen succeed to the crown prince?

If this can be done, it will be the best. The fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Zaizhen, has no master. Moreover, this kid stays in the palace all year round and studies with the prince Zhu Zaizhi, and his relationship with him is quite good.

If the fourth prince Zhu Zaitin can succeed the prince, then he can continue to call the wind and rain in the court.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to kill a prince, even if he has it, he won't dare.

Because Jiajing only has eight sons in total, the eldest prince and the second prince are dead now, and the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth princes are all dead early. In other words, Jiajing has only two sons in total. If he kills one more, it would be strange if Jiajing doesn't go crazy.

If you cannot kill the third son of the emperor, Zhu Zai-ji, can't you let the fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Zai-zhen succeed as the crown prince?

This is not necessarily true!

The emperor Jiajing is relatively easy to fool, and the fourth son Zhu Zaithen is even more pleased by Jiajing. It is not impossible to find a way to get him to depose the elder and establish the young.

As for how to operate it, it is naturally impossible to defeat the old fox Yan Song.

He thought about it for a few days and soon found a solution.

That night, Yan Song took a bath and fast, and then followed him to the Guanglu Dafu, Zhuguo, Shaoshi, Shaofu, Shaobao, Minister of Rites, Gongchengbo, and Tao Zhongwen, and the Grand Secretary of the Branch.

Who is Tao Zhongwen? Why are there so many titles? This guy seems to be a man who is both an orphan in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but he is one of them and three orphans. Isn’t that so great? There seems to be no such a famous minister in the history of the Ming Dynasty!

In fact, Tao Zhongwen is not an important official in the court, he is just a alchemist. As for his title, it was all a false title added to him by Jiajing and had no real power.

Tao Zhongwen is one of the most favored alchemists in Jiajing. Usually, he teaches Jiajing how to practice the art of immortality!

So, why did Jiajing be so popular with a priest and add so many false titles to him?

Could it be that Jiajing was so confused that he was played with by a alchemist?

This question is really hard to say. Tao Zhongwen is not very good at pretending to be a ghost. In short, what he did amazed Jiajing, so Jiajing favored him so much.

So, what exactly did he do?

It is rumored that the reason why he became famous was because he solved the problem of Jiajing's lack of queen. I don't know what he ate for Jiajing. In short, after Jiajing took his "immortal medicine", he began to grow and the princess gave birth to a bunch.

This incident was enough to make Jiajing look at him with admiration, and he had many magical performances.

For example, once, Prince Zhu Zai's smallpox was obtained, and even the imperial doctor was helpless. He volunteered to go to the East Palace to do a ritual, and burned some talisman water for the prince to drink. Prince Zhu Zai's magical improvement!

For example, once on Jiajing's southern tour, a strong wind suddenly broke out on the road, which made Jiajing feel restless. Jiajing couldn't help but ask him what the sign was.

He counted his fingers and said mysteriously: "This is a good omen, a sign of fire virtue."

Sure enough, that night, the palace where Jiajing lived caught fire.

He was so magical that Jiajing didn’t regard him as a god!

In fact, it is not surprising that these things are put into later generations, but people in this era are a little unable to understand the mystery.

For example, Jiajing's infertility disease is not a terminal illness that cannot be cured. Perhaps he had just got such a prescription and went to fool Jiajing.

For example, the smallpox in Prince Zhu Zai's smallpox is not without medicine. Perhaps he had a prescription on hand, so he went to the East Palace to pretend to be a god and make a fool of himself, mixed the medicine for treating smallpox in the talisman water, and let the prince drink it. The prince's smallpox is better.

For example, the sign of fire virtue is even more nonsense. Yang Cong could make Xia Yan's tent catch fire for no reason. It is naturally not difficult for him to catch Jiajing's palace in fire.

In short, Tao Zhongwen gained Jiajing's favor by his ability to pretend to be a god. In front of Jiajing, he was like a god.

If Tao Zhongwen is willing to help, pretend to be a god and a ghost, and say that the third son of the emperor, Zhu Zai Di is not the true emperor, and the fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Zai Zhen, is, Jiajing may have fallen into his evil spirit and make the fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Zai Zhen, the crown prince!
