I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Shen's grievances came and went quickly. In the final analysis, she just wanted to seize the opportunity to talk to Jiajing more and bring the relationship closer between the husband and wife.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen was quietly nestling in Jiajing's arms, and the couple were chatting quite casually.

Soon, the topic turned to the canonization ceremony that had just concluded.

When Shen learned that Jiajing hated the crown robes he needed to wear during the canonization ceremony, she felt as if she had found a comrade-in-arms, and began to complain to Jiajing endlessly about this aspect.

"It turns out that I'm not the only one who thinks so. Your Majesty also thinks this is very troublesome!"

Then, Shen changed the topic and continued: "However, I still want to see up close, Your Majesty, what you look like in your imperial robes!"

When Shen said this, he blinked deliberately, and the meaning was self-evident.

Hearing this, Jiajing nodded, gently pinched Shen's cheek with his hands, and then said, "Let's talk about it another day when we have a chance!"

After that, Jiajing began to mention the interesting things he had encountered in recent days. When Shen heard from Jiajing that Yan Song openly dozed off during the canonization ceremony, she could no longer hold back and covered her mouth and laughed. Voice.

Then, Shen raised his head, looked at Jiajing, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, is what you said true?"

Jiajing took in the expression on Shen's face, raised his eyebrows, and said with a serious face: "Of course this is true. As soon as I stepped onto the Chengtian Gate, I found Yan Song dozing there!"

"This Yan Song, if I hadn't considered him to be eighty-one years old this year, I would have had to punish him!"

Then, Jiajing looked away from Shen, and after considering his tone, he asked: "My beloved concubine is now the queen. According to the usual practice, I need to move to Kunning Palace to live. What do you think of my beloved concubine?" How about the next one?"

When Mrs. Shen heard what Jiajing said, a trace of hesitation flashed across her face.

Although she lives in a deep palace, she still knows a little bit about the rumors about Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace was built in the 18th year of Yongle. It faces north and faces south. It is nine rooms wide and three rooms deep. It is covered with yellow glazed tiles. Its regulation is second only to the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lived.

There have been rumors in the palace that Kunning Palace is haunted and has a strong yin energy. If you live there for a long time, it will definitely affect your health and your fortune.

The trace of hesitation that flashed across Shen's face before naturally could not escape Jiajing's eyes.

Then, Jiajing waved his hand and said: "In that case, my beloved concubine should stay in Ganlu Palace for the time being!"

Hearing what Jiajing said, Mrs. Shen shook her head and said firmly: "No, Your Majesty, I am now a queen. According to convention, I must move into Kunning Palace. Otherwise, the ministers in the court will They will gossip!"

After hearing what Shen said, Jiajing unconsciously hugged Shen a little tighter in his arms, caressed Shen's back, and then said: "I am the emperor. If anyone dares to gossip behind his back, I will punish him at any time." he!"

Perhaps it was Jiajing's embrace that made Shen feel safe. After thinking about it for a long time, she said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly: "Your Majesty, to be honest, there have been rumors in the palace that Kunning Palace is haunted, and The yin energy is very strong, and if you live there for a long time, it will easily damage your body!"

"I'm fine with you, but Yuan'er is still young, so I'm worried that when the time comes..."

Before Shen could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jiajing: "Okay, no need to say more. I will go to see the situation in person someday. Before that, you can stay in Ganlu Palace!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen was about to say something when Jiajing waved his hand and said confidently: "Don't worry, I am the emperor and I am blessed by God. All the monsters and ghosts in this world will not see me." We have to go around the road!”

Jiajing is now a master of thunder magic and is only one step away from the foundation building stage.

Therefore, even if it is true that there are ghosts in Kunning Palace as rumored in the palace, it will definitely not be able to withstand Jiajing's three moves.

While Jiajing was still thinking about whether there was any ghost in Kunning Palace. Shen Shi gently tugged on Jiajing's sleeve, then turned over from Jiajing's arms, bit her lips, and suggested with a shy look: "How about your Majesty not go back to Qianqing Palace tonight?"

Jiajing took in the expression on Shen's face, nodded, and said in response: "Yes."

……

On the other side, in the capital, Yan's study room.

At this moment, Yan Song was sitting behind the desk, sipping tea with a leisurely expression. Anyone could see that he was in a high mood today.

"I never expected that I, Yan Song, would actually be able to witness the Queen's vacancy being filled in my lifetime!"

After finishing his emotion, Yan Song stood up from his seat tremblingly, and then took down a copy of "Spring and Autumn" from the bookshelf beside him.

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door. Seeing this, Yan Song slowly put down the book in his hand and said: "Come in!"

After the words fell, there was only a "squeak" sound, the door of the room was pushed open, and then Yan Shifan stepped in.

After Yan Shifan entered the study, he leaned down, bowed to Yan Song and said, "My child has seen his father!"

Hearing this, Yan Song looked Yan Shifan up and down, pointed to the empty seat beside him, and said: "Well, sit down!"

"Thank you father!"

When Yan Song finished speaking, Yan Shifan didn't refuse at all. After bowing his hand to Yan Song, he sat on the empty seat beside him.

As soon as Yan Shifan sat down, he heard Yan Song's voice without any emotion: "By the way, are there any movement from those people?"

When Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's words, he immediately stood up from his seat and responded without thinking: "Returning to my father, since you brought a few people out to scare the monkeys, those people have become much more honest and do not dare to mention Yan Maoqing's behavior again. Something happened!"

After learning the news from Yan Shifan, Yan Song snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face, and said to himself: "Huh, I won't shed tears until I see the coffin. These short-sighted and stubborn people Guy!"

When Yan Song said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "They have to let me use such methods to deal with them before they are willing to submit. What a bunch of scoundrels!"

After that, Yan Song saw that Yan Shifan was hesitant to speak, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Yan Shifan, do you have something to say?"

After noticing Yan Song's gaze, Yan Shifan couldn't help but panic.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally plucked up the courage, looked in the direction of Yan Song, and said cautiously: "By the way, father, what happened at the canonization ceremony today, I am worried that someone may take advantage of it!"

Yan Song knew that Yan Shifan was referring to his previous dozing off at the canonization ceremony.

After that, Yan Song frowned slightly, and then said, "You mean, Xu Jie might use this matter as an excuse?"

Yan Shifan nodded when he heard the words, with a look of worry on his face: "Yes, father, this is disrespectful. If your Majesty really pursues this matter..."

Yan Song saw the worried look on Yan Shifan's face. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said slowly: "Don't worry, it won't be like this. Your Majesty will not pursue such a trivial matter. Your Majesty's heart is full of worries. It’s Jiuzhou Wanfang!”

When Yan Song said this, he paused and continued: "Besides, your father and I are already eighty-one this year, and my energy is not as good as before. Even if I have disobeyed you, Your Majesty will forgive me!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, most of the worry on his face immediately dissipated. Then, he leaned down and said respectfully: "Yes, father!"

"Okay, if nothing happens, just go down!"

"Yes, father, please leave now!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shifan bowed to Yan Song and left immediately.

After Yan Shifan left the study, Yan Song retracted his gaze and focused again on the "Spring and Autumn" in front of him.

In fact, there is another reason why Yan Song did not clarify it with Yan Shifan.

That is, they tried to find ways to make up for the shortfall of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Industry last year. Next, as long as they don't go too far, the emperor will turn a blind eye.

The reason why Yan Song did not clarify this aspect with Yan Shifan was because he was worried that Yan Shifan would cause trouble for him again.

After all, everything that happened before has shown that Yan Shifan is the smartest person and has no big picture at all.

"Oh, it really doesn't make people worry!"

……

As night falls, Xu goes to his mansion in the capital.

In the room, Wang Ting, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was waiting respectfully aside, while Xu Jie was sitting in the main seat, sipping tea from his cup.

Time passed by slowly. I don’t know how long it had passed. I saw Xu Jie put down the teacup in his hand, turned around, looked in the direction of Wang Ting, and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

As soon as Xu Jie finished his words, Wang Ting saw a flash of excitement on his face. He leaned down and said in a deep voice: "Mr. You thing, dozing off in front of everyone during the ceremony of canonizing the queen, this is very disrespectful!"

When Wang Ting said this, he raised his head, looked in the direction of Xu Jie, and said cautiously: "Mr. Xu Ge, do you think we should take this opportunity to get a copy of him?"

Xu Jie, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but have dark lines on his face when he heard Wang Ting's words.

He originally thought that Wang Ting must be reporting something important when he came to see him in such a hurry, but who would have thought that it was because of something as trivial as sesame seeds and mung beans.

After that, Xu Jie glanced at Wang Ting and said angrily: "I was next to Yan Song at the time. Didn't I know that he dozed off in public?"

"You know, Yan Song is already eighty-one this year. Dozing off is nothing. Using such trivial matters as a means of criticism will not only fail to achieve the goal, but will easily arouse His Majesty's disgust. In this way, the gain will outweigh the loss!"

When Xu Jie said this, he felt tired.

He couldn't understand why his subordinates were a group of short-sighted and embarrassed people who couldn't handle even the small matter of purchasing raw silk. "By the way, speaking of which, I haven't heard Wang Ting personally mention what happened in Zhejiang before!"

Looking at Wang Ting waiting on the side, Xu Jie's eyes gradually became sharp.

Wang Ting seemed to have noticed Xu Jie's gaze, and couldn't help but panic. He timidly asked Xu Jie: "Xu...Mr. Xu Ge, you...what are you..."

Hearing this, Xu Jie waved his hand, looked directly into Wang Ting's eyes, and then said: "By the way, speaking of it, since you came back from Zhejiang, I haven't heard you mention what happened there. Well, what happened at that time?”

Seeing this situation, Wang Ting had no choice but to bite the bullet and narrate the incident to Xu Jie: "Mr. Xu Ge, this is what happened. After Yan Maoqing and I arrived in Zhejiang by boat..."

Under Wang Ting's narration, Xu Jie finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

After that, Xu Jie looked away from Wang Ting and said silently to himself: "So that's it. It seems that my previous guesses were correct. After all, no one expected that in the hands of Zhao Zhenji, He actually has the right granted by His Majesty to kill first and report later!"

Xu Jie couldn't help feeling scared when he thought of this.

If something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to enjoy tea here leisurely now.

"Fortunately, Eunuch Lu took action in time and silenced Pang Qian, the eunuch in charge of the Weaving Bureau, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous!"

……

At this moment, Wang Ting's voice sounded from the side, bringing Xu Jie back to reality.

"Xu...Mr. Xu Ge, recently the Yuan family in Jiaxing seems..."

Seeing that the thoughts in his mind were interrupted, Xu Jie raised his head, glanced at Wang Ting rather unhappily, and said coldly: "What, you think you don't have enough trouble?"

"You know, the Inspectorate is now competing with the officials. Anyone who dares to rashly get involved in the Yuan family's case at this time will definitely get burned and will die without a burial place!"

When Wang Ting heard Xu Jie's words, he knew that Xu Jie would be wrong. Immediately, he waved his hands and hurriedly explained: "No, Mr. Xu Ge, you misunderstood. This is not what the official is referring to!"

"I heard that the Yuan family is planning to use their connections in the court to impeach Zheng Michang and He Maocai!"

After Xu Jie learned the news from Wang Ting, a look of curiosity appeared on his face, and he confirmed to Wang Ting: "Oh, impeach Zheng Michang and He Maocai?"

Of course Xu Jie is no stranger to Zheng Michang and He Maocai.

These two people are die-hard members of the Yan Party. They have served in Zhejiang for many years and have deep roots. They provided a lot of help to the Yan Party in converting rice into mulberry.

Facing Xu Jie's gaze, Wang Ting organized the words in his mind before he said: "Yes, Mr. Xu Ge, according to the information obtained by the official, in recent years, Zheng Michang and He Maocai have been Collect money from the Yuan family!"

When Wang Ting said this, he changed the topic and continued: "I don't know what happened, but these two people were unwilling to give in at all on the case of Yuan Kui, the young master of the Yuan family, but they only added fuel to the flames. He has the intention to make things worse!"

"So the Yuan family was so angry that they planned to mobilize their connections in the court to impeach the two of them and teach them a lesson!"

After Xu Jie listened to Wang Ting's narration, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"It's really strange. As members of the Strict Party, these two people are not good people. Their purpose is definitely not to seek justice for the parties concerned. In this case, why did they choose to make this matter a big deal?"

"Could it be said that Yan Song was behind this?"

Xu Jie racked his brains and couldn't figure out the purpose of Zheng Michang and He Maocai. Then, he came back to his senses, looked in the direction of Wang Ting, and gave instructions.

"Forget it, since the people the Yuan family wants to impeach are members of the Yan Party, let's help them add fuel to the fire!"

"Follow your orders, Mr. Xu Ge, I know what to do!"

When Wang Ting heard Xu Jie's words, he immediately looked stern and responded respectfully.

"Okay, it's getting late. If nothing happens, you can leave!"

"Yes, Mr. Xu Ge, I will resign immediately!"

After Wang Ting finished speaking, he bowed to Xu Jie and left the room under the guidance of the butler.

……

One night passed in the blink of an eye, the Forbidden City and the Manna Palace.

At this moment, Jiajing, who was still asleep, felt that there was a heavy object hanging on his neck, which made him very uncomfortable.

When he opened his eyes, he realized that Shen was like a koala, with his whole body hanging on him.

At this time, Mrs. Shen was completely naked, her arms as white and flawless as jade were wrapped around her neck, and her mouth was uttering incomprehensible murmurs from time to time.

Seeing this situation, Jiajing shook his head helplessly. Then, the scene from last night appeared in his mind unconsciously.

Perhaps it was because she was nine months pregnant. In short, Shen was extremely proactive last night, but facing Jiajing, who had already accomplished Taoism, she still had no chance of winning and was inevitably defeated.

In the end, Shen didn't even care about the queen's image and kept begging Jiajing for mercy.

Seeing that Shen was still sleeping soundly, Jiajing didn't mean to disturb her. After tapping Shen's forehead, he tiptoed out of bed.

When Jiajing put on his robe and came out of the room, Lu Fang came up to him and said respectfully: "Your Majesty!"

When Jiajing saw this situation, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Jiajing clearly remembered that last night he specially sent someone to inform Lu Fang, who was waiting outside, that he would stay at Ganlu Palace.

Unexpectedly, Lu Fang came to Ganlu Palace early in the morning to wait.

Then, Jiajing suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, nodded, responded in a subtle way, and said: "Let's go, accompany me back to Qianqing Palace!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he walked forward on his own. Seeing this, Lu Fang quickly followed Jiajing's footsteps.

After walking a certain distance, Lu Fang's voice was heard: "By the way, Your Majesty, last night you asked your servant to investigate the matters related to Kunning Palace, and now we have some clues!"

After Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, he paused and recalled for a moment before he remembered that such a thing was indeed the case.

Immediately, Jiajing turned around, looked in the direction of Lu Fang, and asked, "Tell me, what did you find out?"

After Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang carefully considered his tone before speaking: "Your Majesty, according to the situation investigated by this servant, many people in the palace have claimed that they were in Kunning Palace before this. I saw a ghost inside!"

"Not only that, according to the eunuchs and palace maids who are responsible for cleaning and maintaining Kunning Palace, the temperature in Kunning Palace is very abnormal. Even in the hot summer, you will feel a chill in Kunning Palace. A bone-deep chill.”

"Also... In addition, there are rumors that the situation in Kunning Palace is related to the long-dead Concubine Cao Duan!"

Jiajing saw Lu Fang's hesitant look, and instantly understood in his heart that after all, this also involved the Renyin Palace Incident that occurred in the 21st year of Jiajing's reign.

At that time, Jiajing, in order to seek immortality, listened to Tao Zhongwen's suggestion, sent a large number of signs to the palace maids, and collected their menstrual blood to refine elixirs.

Later, the palace ladies couldn't bear it anymore, and finally, under the instruction of Wang Ningbin and others, they tried to strangle Jiajing to death.

Later, the matter was revealed and Empress Fang learned about it. Concubine Cao Duan was not on good terms with Empress Fang at that time, so Empress Fang framed her as the mastermind and took her to Kunning Palace, where she was tortured to extract a confession and then hanged.

Since then, Kunning Palace has not been peaceful, and strange things often happen.

Lu Fang couldn't help but feel panicked when she saw that Jiajing didn't respond for a long time.

Immediately, he summoned up the courage, looked in the direction of Jiajing, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this is the only information that this servant has found..."

When Jiajing heard what Lu Fang said, he suddenly came back to his senses. After slightly nodding to Lu Fang, he encouraged him: "Well, good job, Lu Fang!"

When Lu Fang heard this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, a look of curiosity appeared on Jiajing's face, he looked into the distance and said to himself: "In that case, I will go to Kunning Palace in person one day to see the situation!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, she was about to speak out an admonishment, but then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she swallowed the words she had not yet spoken.

"Yes, your Majesty has now become a monk. Even if there is something really unclean in Kunning Palace, your Majesty's strength can easily solve it!"

"Speaking of which, it was the same last time at Gongyuan. After His Majesty came to the scene in person, several thunderbolts fell from the sky. Since then, the weather in Gongyuan has returned to normal!"

When Lu Fang thought of this, her thoughts gradually began to diverge. Combining everything that had happened before, Lu Fang couldn't help but have such a conjecture flash through her mind.

"Is it possible that His Majesty's strength has reached the point where he can control the thunder at will?"

The more he thought about it, the more panicked Lu Fang felt. Immediately, he shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of all the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

"Lu Fang, don't think any further. You don't know anything. You just need to serve His Majesty with peace of mind!" (End of Chapter)
