Zhu Yijun had read some Ming Dynasty online articles in his previous life, as well as Ming Dynasty historical books such as "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli". Coupled with the memories retained by the original owner, he had some understanding of the relationship between Feng Bao and Wanli.
As for what suddenly happened just now, Zhu Yijun naturally guessed from Queen Mother Li's behavior of slapping and scolding Feng Bao why Queen Mother Li suddenly yelled at herself angrily when she came in, and even came in with anger.
Zhu Yijun knew that this was all because of his youth, which gave Feng Bao the illusion that he could despise himself as the emperor. This made Feng Bao feel that he could play with crickets after learning that he had received the cricket from the eunuch. Come.
Although Zhu Yijun's current mind comes from the mind of an adult in later generations and is more mature, and he avoided being scolded by Empress Dowager Li for playing crickets, Zhu Yijun still deeply felt the pressure Feng Bao brought to him through this incident. Namely the pressure to monitor.
Zhu Yijun didn't like being monitored like this.
But Zhu Yijun knew that he could not deal with Feng Bao now. After all, Feng Bao was a confidant of Empress Dowager Li and had a close relationship with Zhang Juzheng.
If he really wanted to get rid of Feng Bao, he would have to get the consent of Queen Mother Li and Zhang Juzheng.
After all, who said that he is still young and unable to take charge of the power himself?
Therefore, Zhu Yijun could only put his dissatisfaction with Feng Bao in his heart for the time being.
Now he can only continue to be the emperor according to the expectations of Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng, and cannot go beyond the limits.
Only in this way can he avoid various situations that are unfavorable to him.
In short, for Zhu Yijun now, as long as he is willful once, he will incur comprehensive suppression by Queen Mother Li and Zhang Juzheng.
One can rely on her status as mother and queen to absolutely suppress herself in terms of Confucian ethics.
One can, as the emperor's teacher and assistant minister, admonish himself with the requirements for the wise emperor.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun could only be cautious and live according to the standards of the Holy Lord and the Benevolent Lord.
Therefore, after Zhu Yijun glanced at Feng Bao's back, he quickly looked back and continued to look at the memorial title book.
Unconsciously, the sunset has gradually set in the west.
The sunset fell on the eaves of the Forbidden City.
Zhu Yijun under the window was still looking at Zhang Juzheng's voting plan.
"Slave Feng Bao comes to plead guilty to the emperor!"
Suddenly, Feng Bao's voice appeared in Zhu Yijun's ears.
Zhu Yijun suddenly became excited and sat upright.
Looking around, Zhu Yijun saw Feng Baozheng crawling in front of him. He was surprised for a moment and thought to himself that he had noticed the evil look he was glaring at his back, or that the servant in his palace had seen him and informed him. , otherwise, why would Feng Bao suddenly come to plead guilty to himself with trepidation, worried that he, the emperor, would be jealous of him?
Zhu Yijun felt a chill go down his back and asked in surprise: "Daban, what are you doing?"
Feng Bao raised his swollen red face like a horse and murmured: "This servant mistakenly believed what the Wei Dynasty said. I really thought that the emperor was neglecting his studies and just playing cricket. The eldest companion should be loyal to the emperor, and if everything is for the best of the emperor, he should admonish the emperor in time to prevent the emperor from being such a naughty person, so he rushed to inform the two empresses, but in the end he was almost wronged. Your Majesty, it seems that this servant is deliberately trying to ruin your reputation. Even if it was the fault of the servants, I am still at fault. Naturally, you have to come to plead guilty to your Majesty and ask your Majesty to punish you! "
Zhu Yijun was a little confused by Feng Bao's attitude at this time.
In his understanding, Feng Bao, as a powerful eunuch who dared to supervise the emperor for the queen mother and as a life-seeking minister, should not be so groveling in front of him.
But he didn't expect that Feng Bao would place his position so low and speak so humblely in front of him.
Zhu Yijun actually ignored the power represented by the status of emperor in this era.
Especially for the eunuchs, they can look down on the emperor in their hearts or secretly, but after all, the emperor is the master who can decide their life and death, and is also their real source of power. Even if he is not now, he will be in the future.
Therefore, no eunuch would openly provoke the emperor, and he did not want the emperor to have a bad impression of him.
Even though Feng Bao was in a high and powerful position, he also understood this truth.
What's more, he now knows that his emperor is obviously more precocious than he thought.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to still ignore Zhu Yijun's feelings and ignore whether Zhu Yijun will have some bad impression on him because of this incident.
After all, Zhu Yijun was the master he had grown up with, and he had served him till now. He didn't want just because of today's incident, it would affect the emperor's feelings for his great companion, and also waste his many years of serving Zhu Yijun. of hard work.
However, Feng Bao's attitude at this time still made Zhu Yijun somewhat aware of some of the special meanings represented by the status of emperor.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun said at this time: "Get up quickly, my companion! I know that this matter is not your fault."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Feng Baoru immediately stood up with a smile of joy.
Zhu Yijun asked at this time: "Where is the Wei Dynasty that gave me the cricket?"
Feng Bao replied: "I have already killed him with a stick as ordered by the empress!"
Zhu Yijun was startled, glanced at Feng Bao, and then nodded calmly: "I know, you should also go see the imperial doctor and see how swollen your face is!"
Feng Bao's face was indeed severely swollen.
In order to make Empress Dowager Li soften her heart and spare him this time, and to satisfy Zhu Yijun and feel sorry for him, he not only tried his best to slap himself many times when Empress Dowager Li came here, but also deliberately slapped himself many times after returning. , it was not until his face was swollen that he came to Zhu Yijun to confess.
Therefore, the next day, because Feng Bao's face was swollen and he could not see the foreign officials, and he was afraid of being laughed at by the foreign officials, he did not accompany Zhu Yijun to the Wenhua Hall to give lectures. Instead, he asked another eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies to Zhang Hong, the eunuch and eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, accompanied Zhu Yijun to the Wenhua Hall to give lectures.
…
"Your Majesty has no interest in playing games. He is dedicated to study and administration. He should be like Yao and Shun!"
Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant, also knew what happened in the inner court early the next morning.
When Zhu Yijun's father, Emperor Longqing, was still King Yu, Zhang Juzheng served as an official in Prince Yu's Palace, so he had good relations with many eunuchs in Prince Yu's Palace, and he had already cultivated his own intelligence channels in the inner court, and now even Zhu Yijun Once he became the emperor, he could quickly know what was happening in the inner court.
However, after Zhang Juzheng learned that Emperor Zhu Yijun took the initiative to put an end to such demoralizing behavior as playing crickets and took the initiative to learn from him how to govern, he was not unhappy because his ally Feng Bao suffered a big loss because of this. Instead, he wrote in a letter Hua Dianshi took the initiative to talk about this matter to Lu Tiaoyang and said this.
Lu Tiaoyang was also happy after hearing this, and said: "Feng Bao should go!"
Zhang Juzheng was speechless again, and took the initiative to talk to Yang Bo, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and ignored Lu Tiaoyang.
According to the "Notes on Daily Lectures" handed over to Zhu Yijun by Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun needs to go to the Wenhua Hall to receive lectures every day, except during the days of great cold and great heat.
When Zhu Yijun came to Wenhua Hall, Zhang Juzheng and Yi Qian were already waiting here.
When Zhang Juzheng saw that the eunuch who came with Zhu Yijun was Zhang Hong instead of Feng Bao, he did not show any surprise on his face.
