Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Edge

As Zhang Cong's ally, when his friend was in trouble, he faithfully followed his consistent principle-to add insult to injury.It doesn't matter who is in power in the court, as long as you can keep your position. But slowly he discovered that the new Xia Yan who came to power was really not simple. He was very smart and had won the emperor's favor, and he had no intention of cooperating with him. He was far less easy to control than Zhang Cong.For future planning, it is best to get rid of this person early. And Guo Xun's attack method also fully explained one point - he is a rough man.

This hardcore high-ranking cadre usually takes bribes, has a bad reputation, is not well-known, and has no brains. He even went to the memorial to scold Xia Yan, and even dared to touch a professional player when he was fighting with fans. This is the legendary egg hitting a stone. Needless to say, Xia Yan immediately wrote an article to criticize, and the two sides fought with each other, which was very lively. According to common sense, this struggle should end in Xia Yan's victory, but this is not the case. Jiajing is so tired of it, it's okay for the group of people under him to swear and swear, but every time I have to involve myself, one is an important court official, and the other is an old relative. Both sides want the emperor to express his opinion. How can I have so much time to talk to you? What's wrong? !

No matter, let's clean up one first! Xia Yan was unlucky, he got the first shot. In the 20th year of Jiajing (1541), the emperor received a memorial from Xia Yan. After reading it, he didn't say a word, but was sent to see him quickly. After receiving the order, Xia Yan had an ominous premonition, but he felt more at ease, because his memorial did not involve any sensitive issues, but after he entered the palace, he realized that the problem was serious. Jiajing couldn't help but scolded Xia Yan to the point that Mr. Shoufu couldn't figure it out, and then he said the reason for the scolding - typos.

Xia Yan was stunned, wasn't this deliberately finding fault? If it's someone else, it's okay to be scolded, but the emperor deliberately found fault, how dare you beat him? But brother Xia Yan is really good, he refused to give up, and even replied: "I'm at fault. It just so happens that I'm not feeling well recently. I hope His Majesty will allow me to go home and recuperate." If you deliberately make trouble, I won't serve you anymore! Of course, Mr. Jiajing is not easy to bully, he shouted angrily: "You don't need to recuperate anymore, just go to work and never come back!"

Unfortunately, this is troublesome. The joke was too big, but the words were out of the mouth, and there was no way to take them back, so I had to bite the bullet and leave. Xia Yan began to tie up the quilt full of sadness, and was about to leave Beijing, but just as he was about to go on the road, someone suddenly came to him and told him: "Wait a minute, you may not have to leave." Xia Yan really didn't have to leave, because something happened, and it was a big deal. This incident happened to Guo Xun. Xia Yan was kicked out of the capital because of a typo. Guo Xun was very happy for a while, but this brother really didn't live up to it, and soon caused a big mess.

Specifically speaking, this matter is a matter of work style. Not long ago, Emperor Jiajing entrusted Guo Xun and Wang Tingxiang (then Zuodu Yushi) with an errand, and issued a special order. But the strange thing is that after Wang Tingxiang received the order, there was no movement for more than forty days, and he didn't know what tricks he was playing. By the way, Mr. Wang Tingxiang is a great writer, one of the "former seven sons", and a famous philosopher.The reason why I don't work is probably thinking about philosophical issues. But Guo Xun is a bit outrageous. Although Wang Tingxiang is lazy, he can only be regarded as sabotage, but he is bold, knowing that there is an order, but he just refuses to receive it!The right is not to know.

Although Guo Xun is a relative of the emperor, he is also a national civil servant who gets a salary. Since he gets money, he has to work for the emperor, and Mr. Guo obviously does not have this awareness. So the emperor became angry, and there was no reply for more than a month on what he had confessed. He immediately ordered a strict investigation. Relatively speaking, Guo Xun's attitude of pleading guilty is not very good. He still quit his work and only wrote a memorial to defend himself. A few words settled the matter, but his memorial caused a catastrophe. It must be explained that Guo Xun's memorial did not contain typos, which is commendable, but his problem is much more serious than typos.

This man really deserves to be a rough man. Not only did he quibble in the memorial, but he also wrote a shocking sentence: "Why bother to give an edict". Combined with the context, the popular interpretation of this statement is roughly as follows: Why do you (referring to the emperor) give orders for this kind of thing, it's superfluous! If you have the surname Guo, you have the kindness, and if you don’t abolish it, your surname will not be Zhu! The emperor finally got angry, he scolded Guo Xun severely, and recalled Xia Yan. Seeing that he was unlucky, the officials in the middle wrote letters and cursed and beat the dog in the water.

At the critical moment, Guo Xun finally came to his senses, and immediately feigned a shot, saying that he was under too much stress and recuperating from illness, and hoped that the emperor would grant him permission. Jiajing agreed, and he still trusts this old relative.Seeing that the situation was not good, the officials retreated one after another. If things ended here, Guo Xun would have managed to avoid the limelight, and he might still have a peaceful old age, but at the most critical time, Xia Yan came back. From Xia Yan's point of view, Zhang Cong is more or less an officer, while Guo Gaogan is a pure social trash with no education or skills.If you want to govern the country safely and realize your political ideals, you must clear this pile of rubbish.

But this is almost an impossible task. The Guo family has been around for almost two hundred years since Lao Zhu. Its roots are deep and leafy, and it can enjoy both black and white. What can an ordinary chief minister of the cabinet do? Ordinary chief ministers of the cabinet naturally can't do anything about it, but Xia Yan is not ordinary. He is determined to challenge this difficult action and remove the last stumbling block.For this reason, he found his protégé Yan Guan Gao Shi, told him his plan, and asked him a question: "This is very risky, are you willing?" Answer the following:

"We will not hesitate to get rid of this treacherous villain for the country!" In the 20th year of Jiajing (1531), Yiwei was in September. I wrote a letter of impeachment to Shizhong Gaoshi: Marquis Guoxun of Wuding, who has been favored by the emperor for a long time, has been corrupted and illegal. The crimes verified today are as follows, and should be severely punished by the judicial department! This is a very important memorial. The full text lists 15 crimes committed by Guo Xun, all of which have been verified. It is really a heavy bomb. Jiajing became angry. He didn't expect Guo Xun to have so many "feats", so he put this relative in prison in a hurry. When the incident happened suddenly, Guo Xun was very surprised, but after being imprisoned, he calmed down, because he knew very well that the emperor would never kill him because of his identity, and he would just stay in prison for two days. His judgment was very reliable. Jiajing was only impulsive, and soon dissipated. He even ordered not to use the sentence. It seems that he will be released without charge in two days. However, Guo Xun was wrong, and his life will come to an end here. Soon after, Gao Shi published a second memorial with the same content, demanding that Guo Xun be severely punished, but Jiajing ignored it and returned the memorial. This action hides the emperor's true intentions—this matter ends here, don't continue to entangle. However, Xia Yan's offensive has only just begun. Different from the past, the efficiency of the judiciary is quite high this time, and they quickly reported the pre-trial results of the case—the crime deserves to be punished. Now that Jiajing is getting big headed, he just wanted to teach Guo Xun a lesson, how could he be beheaded? At this point, we must cut to the chase: "The circumstances of this case are unknown, send it back to the Judiciary for review!" The first round of testing is over, and the second round of attack is ready to begin. Gao Shi wrote the letter again, still calling for severe punishment, but this time, Jiajing did not treat him politely, and ordered Gao Shi to be degraded. Gao Shi who got the punishment is not only not depressed, but very happy, because he has completed his mission, and the good show is about to begin. After expressing his position, Jiajing calmly waited for the result of the retrial, but at this moment, Liu Tianzhi suddenly wrote a letter to the matter!In the memorial, Guo Xun was impeached for twelve major crimes. This time it was not as simple as corruption and bribery, and the types of crimes were more abundant, including disrupting the government, plotting to commit crimes, and so on. Just like pre-programmed, the judiciary, who had been lingering before, immediately made a retrial conclusion-in addition to beheading, it also confiscated personal property. This move is too ruthless. Jiajing originally thought that the people below would be obedient when he spoke, but things backfired. What's more, he suffered a lot, but he still couldn't lose his temper. He has evidence and handles the case according to the evidence. Can you say he is wrong? ? His Majesty the Emperor finally found out that he had been taken advantage of by others, he was being fooled around, and he was still counting the money for others after being sold. But it doesn't matter. Although the opponent is cunning, the final decision is still in my hands. If I don't speak, who dares to kill Guo Xun? ! Jiajing learned smart this time. He accepted the memorial from the Judiciary, but he ignored it at all. At the same time, he summoned relevant ministers many times, making side-effects, and asked them to let Guo Xun die. In his opinion, as long as he doesn't nod, Guo Xun will not die, and two more days in prison is not a bad thing for this high-ranking son. It's a pity that he didn't know that to kill Guo Xun, he didn't have to get his approval. In this world, there are many different ways to solve a person. The emperor conveyed his opinion, but the ministers showed collective mental retardation symptoms, ignored the painstaking efforts of their superiors, and still kept asking to kill Guo Xun. That's fine, but a few months later, Jiajing got a shocking news-Guo Xun died in prison. This vigorous man ended his life. The cause of death is unknown, but it is certain that it was definitely not a natural death.Anyway, when a person is in prison, he can do whatever he likes. Jiajing is finally out of anger, this is naked judicial shady!It's a political assassination! But he still couldn't help it. After the man died, the officials of the criminal department and Dali Temple who investigated the case were very conscious, and wrote memorials one after another. In the article, they all said that they would learn from this lesson, do a good job of security inspection in the prison, and prevent similar tragedies from happening again. Be sure to pay more attention to Yunyun. All in all, there is responsibility, there is negligence, and there is no intention. His Majesty the emperor, who was so angry that his nose was twisted, didn't talk nonsense this time. He directly ordered that all the officials involved in handling the case be demoted. Xia Yan won another big victory. He pulled out his teeth, turned raw rice into porridge, turned the living into the dead, not only killed Guo Xun, but also molested the emperor, without even leaving any flaws. . The success of this operation fully shows that Xia Yan's fighting art has reached a state of perfection, and he himself has entered the ranks of super-class political masters. Well, now I am the only one left, Xia Yan who reached the top began to look down at everything under his feet. I have finally come to this point, all people obey me, and great political ideals and ambitions will be realized in my hands. Xia Yan finally started to be proud. There is no doubt that he has enough capital, but history has told us countless times that the beginning of arrogance means the end of victory.There was a pair of eyes watching him, waiting for his mistakes. On the top of that mountain, only one person can exist, forever. In fact, to the emperor, the bloody storm in the court didn't matter, because although Xia Yan was an extremely smart person, compared with him, there was still a big gap. At the age of fifteen, he ascended to the throne. At the age of seventeen, he defeated Yang Tinghe with his extraordinary talent. At the age of eighteen, he established his own authority by holding all officials accountable. Facts have proved that he was In terms of governing the country, he is definitely not a fatuous person. Not long after ascending the throne, he began to inquire about the whereabouts of the two men: "Where are Jiang Bin and Qian Ning?" The minister reported that he is still being held in prison, awaiting His Majesty's disposal. Regarding this problem, the subordinates are well aware that when a new king ascends the throne, there must always be some amnesty to show tolerance. After all, it is rare to celebrate the opening of a business by killing people. But the next sentence is a bit different from their imagination: "Crafting villain, why keep it, behead it immediately!" Jiajing is a very special person, not only his IQ, but also his life experience. Unlike Zhu Houzhao, who was spoiled and raised in a big city, Zhu Houcong was born in a remote place, and he, the so-called son of a vassal prince, was actually quite miserable, because he was a person who basically lost his freedom except for better food and clothing. . In the Ming Dynasty, due to the glorious example and successful experience of Zhu Laosi (Zhu Di), successive emperors regarded the brothers of the vassal princes as thorns in their eyes. So Zhu Houcong could not go to Beijing, nor could he wander around. There were always people watching him around him, and the people he could contact on a daily basis were just ordinary people. Zhu Houcong, who grew up in such an environment, knows how to be suspicious and defensive, and also understands the pain of ordinary people, so whenever he hears the deeds of that ridiculous cousin, he can't help shaking his head and sighing: "If I am in the court, I will cleanse the treacherous evil and prosper the world!" Now is the time. In the era of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were a promising profession, not to mention big names like Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, ordinary eunuchs in charge were also rich and powerful. They could not only manage palace affairs, but even had military power in their hands (guarding eunuchs) , Even the local commanders have to listen to the words of these armed eunuchs. It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao didn't live up to his expectations. He passed away at the age of thirty, and the leadership was changed, so after waking up from the dream, his heart was broken without a trace. Jiajing's identity for eunuchs is very simple-slaves.In his opinion, this group of people should wash the toilet and sweep the floor, work with peace of mind, and want to get rich, lead troops, and control the government? He publicly stated: A slave should do what a slave does, and if he dares to cross the line, he will never be forgiven lightly! At the beginning, the eunuchs didn't care and didn't believe it.But their miserable world has indeed come. Jiajing summoned the supervisor of ceremonies and issued a stern order-recall all eunuchs stationed in other places, and this order was quickly implemented. The person is pulled back, what are you doing?Follow the procedure, first give lectures, then investigate after the training is over, beat them if problems are found, and beat them to death if they can't stand the beating, this is considered humane.Two eunuchs who embezzled money were huge and the circumstances were serious. After being beaten to death, their bodies were still hung outside for public display, which was really cruel. This is what happened to the little ones, and the big names didn't end well either. Among the "Eight Tigers" back then, Liu Jin had already been cut to pieces, and none of the rest were spared.Gu Dayong was dismissed from his post and ransacked his home. His last job was the gatekeeper of Zhu Houzhao's mausoleum.The other one, Wei Bin, worked hard for decades, and managed to climb to the position of chief inspector. When Jiajing gave an order, he was laid off and shunted away. It is said that he was not even given a house, and was directly kicked out of the palace. Living on the street as a beggar. The rest of the people were also miserable, all of them were punished enough, even the only person who shouldn't be punished was also cleaned up. In any case, Zhang Yong should be regarded as a good person. He has helped Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren, and he is relatively upright. It seems that he should not be on the blacklist. But Mr. Jiajing is too aggressive. In his opinion, as long as he is willing to go all out and suffer that knife, he is not a good thing at all.Soon Zhang Yong was demoted, and then ordered to retire. Seeing that his head was about to die, Yang Yiqing stood up and spoke out. In the end, good people are rewarded with good rewards. Mr. Yang made a strong oath and took his head as a guarantee, which saved Zhang Yong, restored him to his original post, and became the only remaining eunuch in power. In addition to strictly controlling the local eunuchs, Mr. Jiajing also set an example and tried his best to manage the relative eunuchs around him. For example, Huang Jin, who became very famous later, followed him since he was a child. She slapped her face and severely warned him to be more honest and not to play tricks. Jiajing is a person who rejects eunuchs. On the surface, it seems that this is just a matter of personal preference, but this is by no means the case. Behind it, there is a secret-the secret of choice. In fact, ruling a dynasty is running a business, but running a country is a bigger business. In general business, you have to pay taxes, and you have to deal with industrial and commercial inspections, safety inspections, and fire inspections. bankruptcy. Relatively speaking, the business of establishing a dynasty is much easier to do. In addition to the high start-up capital (you have to work hard) and the uncertain business cycle (maybe you will sacrifice tomorrow), as long as you succeed, you will immediately change the gun.From then on, not only do you not have to pay, but you can also collect money from others. You can decide how much you want to charge. No one dares to control you except you. Because starting a government is more profitable and has a wider prospect than starting a company, countless people have been eager to try since ancient times, but very few succeeded (just a few dynasties). The first chairman of the board of directors who successfully started a business is generally extremely vigorous. For example, the self-made Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang, if the people working under him are disobedient, they will have to pay liquidated damages (death) in addition to being fired, so Everyone is very obedient to the management. But when the first boss passed away, the successor chairman was not capable enough to solve the company's problems. In desperation, he had to recruit talents from outside (imperial examination system), and hired elites among them to be the general manager (chief assistant of the cabinet) to help manage. However, the problem is that the general manager is not necessarily obedient. This is called an agency problem in economics, and those who can stand out from the crowd of applicants and climb to this position are generally extremely cunning and definitely not good.The pampered chairman of the family business is probably no match for him. In order to be able to control the situation, the chairman introduced a new type of talent - the secretary (eunuch).Such people are not highly educated, have bad conduct, have psychological problems, and like to bully employees.But they have a common advantage - obedient, for the chairman, this is enough. So for Jiajing, the secretary (eunuch) was by no means his enemy, but his friend. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, no matter how rampant the eunuchs were or how they oppressed the ministers, they had to listen to the emperor.Since the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs have become the emperor's assistants, helping to rule this huge empire. Jiajing knew very well that during his term of office, there were two choices in front of him—a low-educated, flattering, very obedient eunuch, or a highly educated, rebellious civil servant who liked to pick fights and find fault. Even the blind man knew that the former was much easier to deal with than the latter, so many of his colleagues chose eunuchs, but Jiajing did not do so. Because he is very confident, he believes that he can deal with everyone. This is an extremely difficult choice. From then on, he will lose the help of his secretary and deal with the cunning and knowledgeable general manager independently. Facts have proved that he has successfully done it. Whether it is Zhang or Xia, no matter how lively the scene is, he is a calm bystander and the final arbiter. Twenty years have passed, and victory has always been firmly in his hands. People of all colors, regardless of education, nationality, gender, constellation, and personal hobbies, as long as they work for him, they are all ruled into obedience. The life of a top expert is quite painful. Since he has no opponent, he has to find another job. Soon, Mr. Jiajing found his spiritual sustenance-cultivation. You must know that Taoism is a native product of China, which was independently developed by the Chinese. If you use two words to describe this religion, it is mysterious. The so-called mystery means that you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, you hold Taoist scriptures all day long, collect strange materials everywhere, add firewood in front of the smoky alchemy furnace, and then dance and dance while watching the refined thing that no ghost has the guts to eat , No one knows what these people are doing all day long. In a word: Xuan. But you must not think that the followers of Taoism are people who have enough to eat and nothing to do, because Mr. Jiajing is a veteran member of the organization. We have introduced the character of Mr. Jiajing many times. This person is a guy who has no profit and has absolutely no interest in public welfare and charity. However, he is willing to sacrifice his precious daily office hours to set up a For the incense burner, a large number of Taoist priests were invited to burn the incense burner every day with a high salary. As strange as it may seem, it's actually quite simple. Different from other religions, Taoism has an ultimate goal - to become a fairy. Taoists always believe that one day they can get rid of the gravity of the earth, break through aerodynamics, and exceed the lifespan of robots. Live as long as you want. Jiajing firmly believed in this, so he practiced Taoism for decades and pursued immortality. His behavior was defined by many historians—one-hearted in cultivating Taoism and not interested in politics. This is a very outrageous definition, because it is not the case. Mr. Jiajing's calculation is very shrewd: cultivating the Tao is only a means, not an end. He doesn't care who the name of the Taishang Laojun is. For him, practicing Taoism is just to live a few more years, so that he can control and rule the world forever, because he hasn't lived enough. He likes everything now-power, Manipulation, struggle, this is the truth. So the issue of cultivating the Tao is, in the final analysis, a political issue. Since Mr. Jiajing came to the throne, countless people have used various means to try to control or influence him, but they failed. Whether it is a minister or a eunuch, he can handle it easily, and no one can threaten him, but he never imagined that his seemingly unattainable life was almost taken away by a group of small people in the middle of the night, and he failed to do so The reason is just a knot. Ding Yin in October of the 21st year of Jiajing (1542). In the middle of the night, Emperor Jiajing lived in his harem as usual. That night, he was accompanied by Concubine Duan. In addition, the queen also hated her teeth, but there was nothing she could do. Just as the Emperor and Concubine Duan were sleeping soundly, a group (attention, it was a group) of black shadows sneaked into the palace and came to the bedside. On the neck (sleeping relatively dead), tied a knot. Then she slowly tightened the knot downwards and strangled the emperor's neck. It turned out that the king who ruled the world was so fragile. The person who is tying the knot is Yang Jinying, who is a court lady by profession. The specific situation is unknown, but I can still be sure of one thing - she can't tie the knot. It is uncomfortable for a sleeping person to be strangled by the neck, so the emperor finally moved when he was half asleep and half awake. However, due to lack of exercise for many years, his reaction nerves were relatively slow, and before he had time to call for help, he lost consciousness again. Ordinarily, Mr. Jiajing was doomed, but his powerless actions in a coma caused the murderer to panic. After all, Yang Jinying is just a court lady, she probably doesn't have the guts to kill chickens, but now she holds a rope around the neck of the most terrifying person in the world. The contrast was too great, so in a panic, she rolled up the rope and tied another knot on top of the original knot. I believe that anyone who has tied shoelaces knows the consequences of this kind of knot-knot. By the way, I have a deep understanding of this. Due to lack of systematic training, my shoelace tying technique is very poor. For a long time, I often tie knots.It was not until an expert pointed out that a scientific and reasonable knot—the bowknot—was finally tied. Just like tying shoelaces, it is best not to tie a dead knot when strangling a person, because the dead knot is not tight. Of course, if you want to combine murder with the pursuit of art, then a bow tie is also a good choice. Yang Jinying discovered this problem. No matter how hard she tried, the knot did not become tight. She was in a hurry, but forgot the extremely simple solution—untie it and tie it again. According to the law of crime, generally doing such shameful things, as long as it is not physical work (moving corpses), the fewer people the better, and this time is no exception. Yang Jinying's flustered look frightened the other accomplice, and she was about to give up. This timid accomplice was named Zhang Jinlian. Seeing this chaotic scene, her will completely collapsed. In order to get rid of everything in front of her, she sneaked out while others were not prepared, and reported to the queen. This was a move that saved Jiajing's life, but it was also a stupid decision.Because from the moment she sneaked into the harem, her name had been written in Yama's notebook. No matter what she does, it won't help. The queen who was woken up in the middle of the night heard the news and couldn't speak well. In desperation, she personally led people to the scene of the crime and blocked the criminal Yang Jinying and others. She tugged on the rope, and it was obvious she didn't think the knot was tight enough. The queen personally untied the knot for the emperor, and took away the special necklace. The imperial doctors also went to the emergency room overnight. After emergency rescue, Mr. Jiajing's fate was saved except that his neck was not working well. The case was well understood. His Excellency the Emperor was almost strangled to death on the bed of his wife (one of them), and the assailant turned out to be an unarmed court lady.If this were to change today, it would definitely be top-level gossip news. Secrets about the harem and concubines must be released one after another, and it will be hyped. But unexpectedly, at that time, the handling of this case was extremely low-key, and all official historical records were kept secret, as if something was hidden. Of course, there are still conclusions. After interrogation, the suspects Yang Jinying and Zhang Jinlian confessed to their crimes. In order to seek leniency, they also confessed the mastermind behind the case——Wang Ningpin. This Ms. Wang is also Jiajing's wife and one of the heavyweights in the harem. I won't talk about it here. The hat of the mastermind was finally placed on her head. At this point, the preliminary trial of the case has ended, and there is no need to submit it to the procuratorate for prosecution. All the above-mentioned people were immediately beheaded for public display. Even if the case is closed here, the truth seems to have not come to light, because there is still a problem that the clock cannot explain-the motive of the murder. You must know that killing the emperor is really a great thing, and it is absolutely impossible to make a major event into a minor one. According to the usual practice, those who dare to take this risk must follow a principle-the benefits outweigh the risks. No one is willing to do a loss-making business, so what kind of income can make them do such a shocking thing?In those days, Wu Zetian was no longer popular. The biggest doubt is Wang Ningpin, she has no reason to do this, because according to the cost calculation, even if Jiajing dies, she will not take any advantage. It seems incomprehensible that this is a case without motive, where the people involved are not the beneficiaries.But having said that, women's psychology is very elusive. Apart from jealousy, endocrine disorders, emotional out-of-control and other reasons cannot be ruled out. So after all, the case is still a mess, with neither the motive nor the truth.The only thing that is clear is the ending of the various characters in the case: Jiajing was very depressed. He was trapped around his neck in his bed and almost died.After that, he moved out of the harem and lived in Xiyuan. Yang Jinying and others were instigated by others, and eventually lost their lives.Wang Ningbing was accused of buying murder, if it was true, then she deserved what she deserved, but if it was purely fictional, then she could only be considered unlucky. But there is still a beneficiary in this matter-the queen, she not only saved the emperor and got rid of Wang Ning, but also took the opportunity to do a bad thing. Knowing about the assassination, Her Majesty the Queen followed suit and sent this dangerous enemy (for her) to the execution ground. Since then, this murder case has become a hot topic of discussion in the streets and alleys, and it is also an indispensable gossip for officials to go to work every day. However, this case is not just lace news. The development of history has an extremely important influence. It may be that he was overly frightened. Jiajing's heart was severely traumatized. He never went to court again. At the beginning, the ministers didn't care. just fine. But they didn't expect that they had to wait for more than 20 years.
