Zhu Tian: I became a god by practicing martial arts
Chapter 58: First Meeting with Jiajing
"Jiajing's home is clean, every home is clean!
Our emperor has not attended court for more than ten years. The court is almost controlled by Yan Song and his son, and corrupt officials are rampant.
The government is corrupt and degenerate, and I don’t know why you want to see the emperor.”
After spending a long time together, Lin Pingzhi also felt Hu Lie's approachable side.
Therefore, in daily conversations, I can speak my mind directly and dare to express my opinions.
"The fact that an emperor who has not attended court for more than a decade can still firmly control the government is enough to prove his extraordinary status.
If a new emperor does not attend court for more than ten years, the throne will probably be taken by someone else.
Moreover, the scholar-official class in the southeast is deeply rooted and powerful. If we don't use corrupt officials and powerful eunuchs, how can we compete with them?
The trouble with the Ming Dynasty is not the government, but the excessive favoritism towards scholars!"
Hu Lie has always believed that rather than saying that the Ming Dynasty fell at the hands of Chongzhen and Tianqi, it would be better to say that it fell at the hands of the Donglin Party and the civil servants and literati!
"Sir, what does this have to do with us? Just tell me when you will take us to see the emperor!"
The girl Qu Feiyan was not very interested in matters concerning the court. She wanted to see what the emperor looked like.
"How can it be so easy to meet the emperor? Let me go visit him first, and then I can decide when to take you there!"
Hu Lie had already made plans. He would visit the Forbidden City at night and meet Emperor Jiajing first.
As for what to do next, let’s wait until after meeting Emperor Jiajing before deciding!
If the Emperor Jiajing in this dimension was really a tyrant and incompetent ruler, he would not bother to care about him.
But if Emperor Jiajing chose to hide temporarily just because of some setbacks, perhaps he could cooperate with the emperor.
"Ah, can't you take me with you?"
Qu Feiyan began to act coquettishly. She was still very curious about the emperor.
"There are many masters in the palace. With your mediocre skills, you will be a burden if you follow me.
Let me meet the emperor first before I tell you."
You can't be too polite when talking to this girl.
Otherwise, she will really take advantage of the situation and strangle you to death.
"Hey, I'm ignoring you!"
Seeing that acting coquettishly was useless, Qu Feiyan pouted and sulked away.
But this trick is of no use to Hu Lie.
It's also because the girl is too young. If she were two or three years older, Hu Lie would have eaten her up long ago.
All three of them were skilled in martial arts, so they were quite fast and soon found an inn on Chongwenmen Street.
After finishing dinner and cleaning up, Hu Lie disappeared.
"Pingzhi, keep an eye on Feifei and don't let her run around!"
Before leaving, he also told Lin Pingzhi to keep an eye on Qu Feiyan to prevent this girl from running away and causing trouble.
"Yes, son!"
Lin Pingzhi agreed readily, but Qu Feiyan was instantly furious.
She also wanted to take advantage of the night to go out and have some fun!
And looking at the situation outside, it is very lively even at night.
But he couldn't beat Lin Pingzhi, so he could only hide in the guest room and sulk.
"You stinky young master, you stinky little Linzi, when I succeed in my training, I will definitely spank you! Humph!"
I was so bored that I could only sit cross-legged and start practicing my internal energy.
She had decided that she must first catch up with Lin Pingzhi in terms of cultivation. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about this guy's supervision.
As for Hu Lie, he stood up lightly and headed straight for the West Garden of the Forbidden City.
It is well known that Emperor Jiajing was assassinated by eunuchs and palace maids in the Qianqing Palace in the 18th year of Jiajing's reign and almost died.
This incident is also known as the "Renyin Palace Change."
It was precisely because of this assassination attempt that Emperor Jiajing was unwilling to live in the Qianqing Palace anymore.
That's why they decided to move to Xiyuan, and in the years that followed, Xiyuan became the political power center of the Jiajing period.
If you want to see the emperor, you can only go to the Western Garden.
Although it is already the Xu time, which is around eight o'clock in the evening.
However, the lights in the Tongzheng Hall in the Western Garden were still on.
The person working here is the Jiajing Emperor, who has been rumored not to have attended court or handled state affairs for more than ten years.
After getting closer, Hu Lie discovered that in the hall, there were only Emperor Jiajing and the eunuchs Feng Bao and Feng Yongting from the Imperial Household Department.
Although the Tongzheng Hall was surrounded by guards, both visible and hidden, it had no effect on Hu Lie.
While the eunuch from the imperial kitchen was delivering midnight snacks, Hu Lie followed him into the Tongzheng Hall.
Just after the eunuch from the imperial kitchen left, Hu Lie appeared directly in front of Emperor Jiajing, picked up his ginseng tea and started drinking it.
"Many people from Korea participated, and there is also some addictive marijuana. I guess if you, the emperor, don't drink this ginseng soup for two or three days, you will feel uncomfortable all over.
As for other chronic poisons, I didn't taste any.
It is indeed difficult for you to be the emperor!"
Hu Lie did not expect that marijuana had already been introduced to China in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
"How dare you! Who are you? Come here, is there..."
When Feng Bao saw Hu Lie, his eyes widened. Although he was not a martial artist, his kung fu skills were quite good.
How come I didn’t notice anyone approaching!
However, before he could finish his shout, he was stopped by Emperor Jiajing.
"Wait a minute! Feng Bao, go out and make some arrangements. No one is allowed to approach the Tongzheng Hall."
The other party was able to appear beside him silently, and even Feng Bao, who had studied the "Sunflower Manual" in depth, did not notice it. His skill is evident.
After taking another look at the other person's face, Emperor Jiajing had some guesses in his mind.
"His Majesty!"
Feng Bao was a little reluctant to let Hu Lie be alone with the emperor.
"Go quickly!"
"promise!"
After sending Feng Bao away, Emperor Jiajing's attention shifted to Hu Lie again.
"If my guess is correct, you should be Master Hu Liehu, right?"
After looking him up and down, Emperor Jiajing indeed found that Hu Lie had an extraordinary temperament.
"Is this a congenital warrior? I wonder if this can prolong his life?"
Jiajing was already quite old, and he began to pay attention to ways to prolong his life.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time practicing Taoism every day.
“Your Majesty has a keen eye, I am indeed Hu Lie.
Out of curiosity, I came to the West Garden to see what the current emperor looks like.
After all, you have made a lot of money by following the path I have paved.”
