General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 7 The Two Dragons Don't Meet

Searching for the location of the title deed, the destination is a mansion with an area of ​​about two acres.

Because it was broad daylight, every house had its street door open, but this one was the only one with its door locked. It was obvious that this house was still unoccupied.

Ning Jue took out the key casually and twisted it lightly.

"Kaba" came a crisp sound.

Ning Jue really came to this courtyard that belonged to him.

I'm afraid the person who built this yard would never have imagined that hundreds of years later, a house like the capital would be a small listed company, but now...

Ning Jue who walked into the street door couldn't help coughing awkwardly.

Such a mansion, in this era, is estimated to be able to replace one or two hundred acres of land in an ordinary state capital.

Just the relief of the word "Fu" on the entrance screen wall is not affordable for ordinary people.

Then Ning Jue walked into the green brick house and the arched veranda three times before he walked to the bedroom with the bed at the back.

Although the yard is not that big in this era, it has all the furniture, decorations, flowers and plants, and even the stacks of firewood in the firewood room are neatly stacked.

Corruption!
Ning Jue sighed lightly.

He obviously couldn't live in such a mansion by himself.

But Ning Jue didn't intend to buy someone, after all, if he can't control the scale of what he wants to do, it will be the crime of copying and beheading, and it would be bad if it hurts others.

There are tens of thousands of houses in the family, and the sleeping space only needs to be three feet wide. No matter how nice the mansion is, it is just a temporary residence.

Ning Jue snorted twice.

Immediately, he walked towards the study beside him.

To start with Tao Zhongwen, Ning Jue had to study it carefully.

"You still have to scold people to the point of pain in order to drive them into a hurry."

Thanks to that well-known TV series, Ning Jue still has some understanding of Jiajing Dynasty.

The study of this mansion is very elegant, which is very in line with the aesthetics of scholars in the Ming Dynasty. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary northern courtyard.

But walking into the courtyard, the decoration inside is full of Jiangnan style, with a bit of delicacy in its bones.

As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of books rushed over.

Ning Jue was thinking about all the information he knew about the Jiajing Dynasty in his mind, subconsciously smoothing the rice paper on the desk with a ruler.

"Tao Zhongwen is a small bureaucrat in Huangmei County... No, I guess he doesn't care if he scolds about his background."

"We still have to work on Xiuxuan."

"If the two dragons don't meet each other, they will be hurt if they meet. Tao Zhongwen concocted these words."

Seeing this, Ning Jue frowned even tighter.

Because when watching TV dramas in the previous life, Ning Jue once wondered why the Taoist priests of the Jiajing Dynasty insisted on concocting such a prophecy that "the two dragons will not meet".

In the past, this curiosity was swallowed along with the takeaway.

This will not be able to eat takeaway, Ning Jue realized that this matter seems not normal.

"If the two dragons don't meet each other, what benefit can he get from Tao Zhongwen? The hatred of an orphan who succeeds the king?"

The reason why there is the prophecy "two dragons will not meet", the prerequisite must be that one of the dragons has already been injured, which can lead to Tao Zhongwen's words.

That is to say, when Jiajing approached Tao Zhongwen, it was nothing more than the prince who had been ill for a long time and found someone to engage in feudal superstition.

Thinking of this, Ning Jue frowned even tighter.

"This Tao Zhongwen didn't play the cards according to the routine. Shouldn't the normal routine be made up of a relative of the Zhu family? Seeing the prince's heart is happy, that's why he wrapped up the prince's pulse. He didn't dare to arrange the emperor. There are so many princesses who will never be born. Isn't that easy to handle?"

Let alone Da Ming, this method can scare a lot of people even if they get the descendants of technological prosperity.

"Unless... someone told him to say that?"

As if he had discovered a new continent, Ning Jue carefully studied this prophecy.

Who is the biggest beneficiary of "two dragons never meet"?

Obviously not Tao Zhongwen.

Because there are so many better options than offending the successor.

Thinking of this, Ning Jue suddenly remembered the "Blue Immortal" in that TV series.

Blue Immortal, that is, Lan Daoxing.

Lan Daoxing of this meeting should still be practicing in Laoshan, and he will not enter the palace until the 31st year of Jiajing.

This Lan Daoxing is obviously a member of his "mentor" Xu Jie. When Qingliu was fighting the Yan Party most intensely, it was Lan Daoxing who dealt Yan Song a fatal blow, which finally led to the collapse of the Yan Party.

Since Lan Daoxing was deliberately "recommended" to enter the palace.

That Tao Zhongwen, Shao Yuanjie...

Thinking of this, Ning Jue immediately thought of a person's name.

—— Xia Yan!

Shao Yuanjie is a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain, and Xia Yan is from Guixi County at the foot of Longhu Mountain!

Thinking of this, Ning Jue couldn't help but gasp.

After thinking about it carefully, Shao Yuanjie entered the court in the third year of Jiajing, and in May of the same year, Xia Yan Ding Muyou returned to his hometown, and after Xia Yan Dingyou returned to the court, it was already the seventh year of Jiajing, and then Xia Yan went all the way from Zheng Qipin to the military department It took only three years for you to become the Book of the Ministry of Rites!
In September of the tenth year of Jiajing, Xia Yan, who was a seventh-rank minister three years ago, officially stepped into the pinnacle of power in the empire.

Look at the names of the people you have circled on the paper.

Ning Jue realized that he had touched the slide that the entire Jiajing Dynasty could not really touch...

Just expose this matter to the world.

I will definitely die!
Tao Zhongwen can guess that the palace is on fire, and Tao Zhongwen can cure the crown prince's illness.

Is it all a coincidence?

Coincidentally, what a coincidence.

Before he knew it, Ning Jue broke out in a cold sweat, swayed and sat down on the armchair behind him.

After it was almost confirmed that the Taoist priest in the palace had colluded with the ministers of the outer court.

Ning Jue's whole thought suddenly became clear.

Some people are preventing the emperor from meeting the prince and his son. Even if the father and son want to meet, they can only be limited to a certain number of times.

It shows that their purpose is not to make the two dragons disappear, but to prevent the father and son from contacting each other for a long time.

Who is hiding behind Tao Zhongwen.

Ning Jue didn't know.

It may be Yan Song, or it may be a minister or concubine.

But Ning Jue knew that as long as he grasped the prophecy "two dragons meet", he would not let go.

Those who hide behind this scene are bound to jump out and get rid of themselves!

Whether it is an attack from the court, or an assassination.

Ning Jue didn't care.

As for why the people behind Tao Zhongwen concocted the rumor of "the two dragons will not meet", Ning Jue can also guess a general idea.

Jiajing's pursuit of politics was too ruthless.

They didn't dare to let Jiajing personally teach Mao Zedong, and they would not allow another Jiajing and Zhu Houzhao to appear in Daming.

As long as the prophecy that the two dragons will not meet still exists, the "custody right" of the future prince will actually fall into the hands of civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats.

They want to teach another Emperor Xiaozong with their own hands!
