Zhu Yijun, who had already tasted the pleasure of power that he, the emperor, could supervise Zhang Juzheng and suppress Zhang Juzheng without Feng Bao, now only wanted to make Feng Bao disappear forever!
Because in this way, he can always have a taste of power!
But Feng Bao kept an eye on Zhu Yijun even tighter than before.
Perhaps it was because Zhu Yijun had shown too much maturity and intelligence before.
So much so that Feng Bao now barely wants to leave Zhu Yijun's side, and would appear in front of Zhu Yijun from time to time.
Feng Bao seemed deeply afraid that if he left Zhu Yijun for a while, Zhu Yijun would take the opportunity to leave him and change the direction of the government's development.
Fortunately, Feng Bao is not a machine and cannot keep an eye on Zhu Yijun 24 hours a day.
In addition, he himself is not young and has been pampered for a long time. No matter how much he wants to keep an eye on Zhu Yijun, it is impossible to keep an eye on Zhu Yijun.
Therefore, basically every night, Feng Bao still had to go back to his home to rest and live the life of a gentleman.
In addition, Feng Bao was unwilling to delegate power, and he had two errands as Chief of Ceremony and Admiral of Dongchang. He did not want to lose the favor of the two empress dowagers, so he had to go to the two empress dowagers from time to time.
Therefore, sometimes even in the afternoon, Feng Bao still couldn't keep an eye on Zhu Yijun and had to wait in front of the Empress Dowager of the two palaces.
While Feng Bao was away, Zhang Jing, who was newly transferred to Qianqing Palace as a deacon and eunuch, took the opportunity to come to Zhu Yijun and said:
"Your Majesty, I dare you to say something. Just by looking at the drafts on these memorials, you may not be able to truly see the true intention of Mr. Yuanfu Zhang's drafts!"
Zhu Yijun was stunned.
Could he not know that it is impossible to fully know Zhang Juzheng's true intention in handling every trivial government affairs based on Zhang Juzheng's vote?
But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Jing would actually take the initiative to explain the matter for him.
Zhu Yijun also smiled and asked, "Really?"
As Zhang Jing spoke, he pointed to the name of an official on the ticket that Zhu Yijun was looking at and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking out. Mr. Yuanfu Zhang promoted this person because he is from Chu!"
Zhang Jing then pointed to another person's name: "This person was promoted because he is from Chu!"
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he looked at Zhang Jing: "I know what you mean, but do you think Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang can write the reasons for this on the ticket?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"But I have no intention of joining Yuan Fu and slandering Mr. Zhang!"
"I just want to remind the emperor, but I didn't expect that the emperor already knew it in his heart. What I can think of, the emperor has actually thought of it a long time ago. I just saw through it without saying anything. It's the slave who is showing off his shame."
Zhang Jing replied pretending to be ashamed.
Zhu Yijun laughed and asked again: "You are so reckless tonight, are you really just trying to remind me?"
Zhang Jing's eyes lit up, and then he asked directly: "Do you want to get rid of Mr. Feng?"
Zhu Yijun didn't speak, only remained silent for a while, and then looked around.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is no one else. Otherwise, this servant would not be so reckless."
Zhang Jingyan said.
Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this.
Zhang Jing said: "This slave has also seen it. With your sage, how could you not see that Feng Bao, who appears to be peaceful and cautious on the surface, has been suppressing you in the name of Mr. Yuanfu Zhang and the Queen Mother of the two palaces?" This is obviously using slaves to deceive the master!"
Zhu Yijun: "Is there any way to get rid of him?"
Zhang Jing said: "Not for the time being!"
Zhu Yijun looked disappointed after hearing this.
Zhang Jing obviously didn't want Zhu Yijun to be too disappointed and betray him, so he hurriedly said: "All this is just because the slave has not yet become the Supervisor of Ceremonies Bingbi. Once the slave becomes the Supervisor of Ceremonies Bingbi, the emperor can Get rid of it by hand!"
Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing in surprise.
Zhang Jing knelt down directly: "I am not a slave to be abrupt! Your Majesty, I dare to say that no one in the entire inner court is more loyal to your Majesty than this slave, including my godfather!"
"Who is your godfather?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
Zhang Jing said: "Zhang Hong!"
Zhu Yijun asked again: "Why do you say that?"
Zhang Jing said: "I dare to tell you everything I know out of loyalty to the emperor, but please don't blame my godfather for this!"
"That's what you said! How could I be angry with Zhang Hong for this!"
Zhu Yijun said.
Zhang Jing continued to speak bluntly: "Your Majesty understands that Mr. Yuanfu Zhang will not let anyone who doesn't listen to him enter the cabinet, doesn't he understand that Feng Bao won't let anyone who doesn't listen to him enter the ceremonial office?" ?”
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun was surprised and said: "You mean that Zhang Hong can stay in the Li Jian because he listened to Feng Bao?"
Zhang Jing nodded: "Even the slave was able to take over the Wei Dynasty because he was willing to cater to Feng Bao. What's more, the slave's godfather is not a person willing to go against Feng Bao. The godfather has always been cautious and does not want to offend others. He is both He didn't want to offend the emperor, nor did he want to offend Feng Bao. Therefore, when Feng Bao was injured, the emperor did not handle government affairs according to Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang's wishes. The godfather did not stop him, but he still secretly sent the emperor to Yuan Fu Zhang. The loopholes in Mr. Yuan Fu’s draft plan, which went against the original intention of Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang, were notified to Feng Bao in advance.”
After saying that, Zhang Jing knelt down and kowtowed, and said solemnly: "My confession today is because I am loyal to the emperor. Therefore, even if I am my own godfather, I will tell him his details." The emperor, please take a closer look!"
Zhu Yijun had a more complete impression of Zhang Hong after hearing this, and thought to himself: "It turns out that Zhang Hong is not simple either. How come these eunuchs are all so smart! Fortunately, he traveled through time and became an emperor. As long as he is more steady, he can There is definitely no danger of life. If I travel through time and become a servant in the inner court, I really don’t know if I can become a great eunuch!"
However, Zhu Yijun was fortunate that although these eunuchs in the inner court were smart, they all had very different thoughts, and this allowed him to get a glimpse of the true nature of each of these people.
Zhu Yijun nodded after Zhang Jing said: "Get up! I already know your loyalty."
"yes!"
Zhang Jing stood up, smiled flatteringly, and stood aside, silently watching Zhu Yijun read the chapter.
Suddenly, Zhu Yijun asked: "Who are the Bingbi eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies now?"
Among the ceremonial eunuchs, eunuchs with palm seals are the most expensive, followed by eunuchs with pen pens.
Eunuchs with Bingbi and above have the right to criticize people.
That is, if the emperor sees that the cabinet has no objections to the draft of a certain chapter, he can ask the eunuchs of Bingbi and above to approve the red draft, or he can directly instruct the eunuchs of Bingbi and above to approve the red draft. imperial edict.
Usually, the promotion, demotion and dismissal of eunuchs in the inner court can be handled directly with a hand edict.
Officials from foreign dynasties also need to issue edicts to the cabinet, and the cabinet system issues imperial edicts.
Because Zhu Yijun was young, Empress Dowager Li asked Zhu Yijun to deal with government affairs only after discussing with the Chief of Ceremonies and the cabinet. Therefore, even if Zhu Yijun issued an edict to deal with the eunuchs in the inner court, he had to consider the roles of the Chief of Ceremonies, Bingbi and above. Otherwise, they could not follow the instructions and go to the Empress Dowager Li, accusing him of being a frivolous emperor in power, thus irritating the Empress Dowager Li.
Therefore, after hearing what Zhang Jing said, Zhu Yijun asked about the situation of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
"Going back to the emperor, apart from the godfather of the servant, there is also Eunuch Sun Dexiu, but I guess he will not be able to stay in the ceremonial supervisor for long."
Zhang Jing replied.
