In the political ecology of the Jiajing Dynasty, there was only one central figure from beginning to end, that is the current emperor Jiajing.

Even though this emperor has been hiding in the Western Garden for more than 20 years of practicing alchemy, he has always firmly grasped the power of the government with his innate way of governing officials.

All the courts are the world of Yan's party at present, but Yan Song is not actually a real powerful minister, but should be considered a favorite minister. This is true, Yan Song has never lacked threatening people.

In the current court, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty's second assistant was eyeing each other, the "Four Prime Ministers of Qing Ci" were only a heavy position. As a result, Yan Song was no longer the only one in the family, and even had no right to speak in "outside investigation".

The same is true. Yan Song is a big force, and Xu Jie is also a big force. Yuan Wei, Guo Pu and others are ready to move, so there is a certain degree of restraint between each other.

Although Lin Junran is only the fourth-rank Shuntian Prefecture Chief, he already holds the power of Shuntian Prefecture Office. He is going to attack the second auxiliary Xu Jie at the moment, but it is not essentially just seeking death.

As long as he does not take the initiative to anger Jiajing and becomes a minister needed by Jiajing, he will be able to sit firmly on Diaoyutai. Even if Xu Jie becomes the chief assistant, he may not be able to take revenge on him.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Qingran chose to show his fangs and point his finger at the Xu Mansion.

"Huang Zhongda fell from his horse again? Do you really think we are three-year-old children?"

After hearing this news, Xu Fan seemed very angry and asked. But no matter what, the Xu family's attempt to seize Guangdong had been exposed, and the relationship between the two sides officially deteriorated.

The capital city ushered in another sunny and good weather. However, no matter how undercurrents in the officialdom and the parties fought to the death, the streets and alleys here will always be so peaceful.

Xiyuan, Wanshou Palace.

Jiajing, wearing a plain white Taoist robe, frowned and handed the written note to the eunuch next to him. Then he stood in front of a sand table with his hands in his arms, looking at the hypocritical Taoist priest with a calm look.

Lan Daoxing had proved his "divine art" and won Jiajing's trust. At this time, he carefully took the yellow paper. However, he saw that he gave Jiajing a bow first, and then raised his hand, the yellow paper between his fingers.

It burns wildly.

This move alone made the little eunuch beside him stunned, and he was naturally even more respectful to the Taoist priest.

Lan Daoxing came to the sand table that had been prepared long ago. Two little eunuchs held both ends of the T-frame, and he reached out to hold the push handle, and an awl was hanging on the sand table through a thin rope.

"Zi Xu is not here, Cao Fu is also gone, and my sister-in-law can leave."

After Lan Daoxing adjusted his state secretly, he muttered something authentic.

Jiajing and others did not dare to disturb them, and their eyes fell on the sand table.

Lan Daoxing shook like a sieve, and soon became possessed by Zi Gu. He bent down and stood in front of the spirit writing, his whole body seemed to be retracted into the wide Bagua robe, while the awl hanging on the shelf

Move on the sand table.

The awls are sometimes high and sometimes low on the sand table, and are sometimes short, leaving a stripe. These lines are not clear at first, but soon a faintly visible font appears.

There are not many people here, only Huang Jin and Feng Bao, and there are two little eunuchs who assist. They can clearly see the eight words on the sand table: "The wise minister hides the snow, and the villain is in power."

.

Huh?

After reading these eight words, Feng Bao was slightly stunned, and then looked at Jiajing quietly. He was both curious about the answer to the sand table and the question the emperor asked just now.

cough……

Huang Jin coughed lightly, giving Feng Bao a stern look.

Feng Bao immediately woke up, walked towards the sand table with the yellow cloth in his hand, and followed the two little eunuchs to cover the sand table.

"This is... Wanshou Palace?" Lan Daoxing woke up, first said to the little eunuch who helped him up, then was shocked, and immediately knelt down to Jiajing and said, "I have lost my manners again, please forgive me for your crimes."

!”

"Master Lan does not need to be afraid. You have not lost your manners. I want to reward you!" The solemn expression on Jiajing's face disappeared, and he turned to look at Lan Daoxing gently and said with a smile.

Lan Daoxing seemed to have a sigh of relief, but he ruthlessly said: "I am just borrowing my useless body to Zi Gu, not to solve the doubts of the priest. The priest should appreciate Zi Gu!"

"Zi Gu should reward you, and you have made great contributions. What do you think you should reward you?" Jiajing was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

Lan Daoxing's eyes curled, but saw a little eunuch holding a jade bottle not far away, and begged seriously: "If the emperor insists on rewarding me, please give me a spiritual pill!"

"Haha... Taoist priest really has a keen eye to recognize the pearl!" Jiajing couldn't help but laugh happily when he heard the reward he asked for, and signaled Huang Jin to give a pill to Lan Daoxing.

He has been obsessed with practicing Taoism all his life and has a deep belief in Xiu Xuan. At present, Lan Dao practices do not seek fame, wealth, gold, silver and jewelry, but only seeks a elixir. This is undoubtedly very consistent with his preference, and he is even more aware of the blue.

Daoxing is regarded as a fellow Taoist.

Compared with the gifts from Tao Zhongwen, he was granted Shaobao and Feng Gongchengbo, etc., he was undoubtedly extremely stingy with Lan Daoxing and has not given him an official position to this day.

In fact, it was not that he suddenly became stingy, but that he could not give generous gifts to Lan Daoxing for the time being. First, Lan Daoxing had a short time to enter the palace and was still in the test period; second, the art of spirit writing could not help him

Changsheng did not provide any substantial help to his Xuan Cultivation; thirdly, he needed to take care of Yan Song's emotions.

Especially in the last point, Lan Daoxing's spirit writing several times pointed out that Yan Song was a traitor and a villain. If he really gave Lan Daoxing a generous gift, it would be difficult to guarantee that Yan Song would be disloyal.

Just like when he just wrote "Why is the world unable to be treated?" on a note, this is the most troublesome problem at the moment. He thought he was still wise and powerful, but the finances of the Ming Dynasty were getting worse and worse, which made him not know the crux of the problem.

Where.

Although Lan Daoxing's answer is very consistent with Qingliu's tone, the spearhead is ultimately directed at Yan Song, pointing out that Yan Song is the crux of the predicament of the government.

Fortunately, this Lan Daoxing has some skills and is no longer confused by the fame and fortune of the world. He seems to have no concern for the so-called gifts at all.

But at this moment, a little eunuch came in from outside and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Song is asking for a meeting outside!"

"I want Xuan Xiu, let him go back!"

Jiajing's face was slightly calm, but he ordered lightly.

Huang Jin exchanged a look with Feng Bao. They were not stupid people, but they had already seen some clues. But from now on, the old prime minister was no longer a regular visitor to Wanshou Palace and had been turned away many times.
