The Situation Was Broken in the Jiajing Dynasty

In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, it was the eve of the fall. Yan Song's power was overwhelming, Xu Jie was holding back, and everyone in the civil and military dynasties was waiting for a change. No one thought that this variable would be Shen Duan, the former head of the Criminal Department who was demoted to Yangzhou official for offending the strict party. A murder case, a Dongchang token, and the whereabouts of six million taels of silver. Everyone said it was a plague. Only Shen Duan used a silver knife to cut open the body and found traces of poisoning. Therefore, Jiangnan Weaving Bureau asked him to shut up, Dongchang wanted to eradicate him, Jin Yiwei was ordered to arrest him, and the strict party regarded him as a thorn in his side. But the emperor of Xiyuan, who had not been in court for twenty years but controlled the affairs of the court with the blue smoke of the elixir furnace, just issued a decree—— After announcing his entry into the capital, he went to the palace and was tested again in front of Yan Song and Xu Jie. At this time, Zhang Juzheng was still in the Hanlin Academy, Hai Rui was still an emissary in Nanping, Qi Jiguang had not yet ascended to a high position, and his character as a famous official had not yet been revealed. Above the temple, Shen Duan has no family, no sect, no one to rely on. He walked into this monstrous chess game with only the silver knife.
