Queen Mother Li called out at this moment: "Feng Bao!"
Feng Bao bowed and walked to the side of Empress Dowager Li: "I'm here, old slave."
Empress Dowager Li still stared at Sun Hai who was giving Zhang Jing a lesson: "Who was the one beating up in front?"
Feng Bao couldn't hide his smile and raised his eyebrows and replied: "His name is Sun Hai, and he surrendered to Eunuch Sun."
Empress Dowager Li said with a sullen face: "You can't accept such a frivolous person by the emperor's side just by saying he is Sun Dexiu's man!"
"What the empress said is that I will talk to him today. Sun Hai also saw Zhang Jing coming here for the first time and didn't understand some of the rules, so he had to strictly discipline him. He was also afraid that Zhang Jing would influence the emperor."
Feng Bao now spoke for Sun Hai.
"No need!"
When Queen Mother Li heard what Feng Bao said, she only replied this sentence.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Feng Bao in astonishment, and then understood.
He knew that Feng Bao deliberately wanted to show himself as fair and prudent in front of Empress Dowager Li, and did not directly slander Sun Hai because he was his political rival Sun Dexiu.
Zhu Yijun invited Empress Dowager Li to his palace today. In fact, he wanted Empress Dowager Li to see the scene of Sun Hai in preparation for helping Zhang Jing enter the ceremonial supervisor. The excuse he used was to let Empress Dowager Li see his calligraphy practice.
Queen Mother Li was naturally willing to see if her son's calligraphy had improved, not to mention that it was Zhu Yijun who took the initiative to invite him. In addition, he needed to eat after the meal, so he came happily.
But when Queen Mother Li came, she saw Sun Hai training people, and her face became gloomy for a while.
Not long after Sun Hai trained Zhang Jing, he saw Empress Dowager Li coming here with Emperor Zhu Yijun, Feng Bao and others. As soon as he saw it, he knelt down and trembled.
Zhang Jing then knelt down and slapped his red and swollen face, then raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Yijun.
"Your Majesty, where is your calligraphy?"
As soon as Queen Mother Li arrived in Zhu Yijun's study, she started asking.
Zhu Yijun personally opened a wooden box filled with gold, took out twelve dental plaques and an imperial note with thirty-six characters written on it, and said to Empress Dowager Li: "Mother, please see, these are the characters written by the emperor!" "
Empress Dowager Li looked over and saw that each of the twelve clear and clean tooth plaques was engraved with three characters, which were exactly the same as the thirty-six characters on the imperial note. The thirty-six characters on the imperial note were also three characters. There are twelve groups in total.
"Be cautious of nature, appoint worthy people, be close to gentlemen, keep courtesies at a distance, be clear about rewards and punishments, be strict about coming in and out, be cautious about daily life, be disciplined in food and drink, keep your mind at ease, be respectful, accept loyal advice, and save money."
Queen Mother Li looked at these words and murmured, and was speechless for a moment.
Zhu Yijun knew that Empress Dowager Li and the Confucian bureaucrats in other dynasties hoped that he could become a saintly master and benevolent king who met Confucian standards.
Zhu Yijun, who was determined to keep his hope for the time being, deliberately did things according to Confucian standards to make Empress Dowager Li and the Confucian bureaucrats in other dynasties think that he could become a holy master and benevolent king that met Confucian standards.
This is not difficult for Zhu Yijun.
Anyway, according to Confucian standards, it is nothing more than conducting government with virtue, being close to virtuous ministers and distant people, and using their own false and empty sage principles to frame them into mottos and mottos.
And at this time, Zhu Yijun continued: "Mother, when the emperor was practicing calligraphy, he thought about the virtues of the ancient holy masters and benevolent kings. Most of his actions can be summarized in twelve categories, so he simply wrote these twelve things. . And I specially asked the imperial minister to make tooth plaques first, and engraved these twelve things on the tooth plaques to show that the emperor wanted to emulate the ancient holy master's benevolent monarch. Now I would like to invite the queen mother to see the calligraphy that the emperor has practiced. The queen mother will be a witness to prove the emperor's ambition! In addition, the emperor also wants to give these twelve tooth plaques to the ministers and ministers. In the future, if the emperor fails to act according to the above twelve things, all the ministers and ministers can hold them. Yapai is here to remonstrate! I wonder what the Queen Mother thinks?"
When Empress Dowager Li saw that Zhu Yijun was so sensible and deliberately admonished herself to be a holy master and benevolent king that complied with Confucian standards, Queen Mother Li was shocked and laughed: "Emperor, you are doing this very well, I am very relieved!"
Not long after, Feng Bao arranged for his eunuchs to deliver the dental cards to Zhang Juzheng and other cabinet ministers Jiu Qing.
Zhang Juzheng and other cabinet ministers and nine ministers all praised him and said that the emperor could follow these twelve things throughout his life. He also expressed his willingness to act in accordance with the instructions. If the emperor does anything inconsistent with these twelve things in the future, he will hold a sign to admonish him.
Of course, the final interpretation of whether to listen or not rests with Zhu Yijun.
However, Zhu Yijun's move still caused a great shock among the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Tiaoyang even whispered to Zhang Juzheng again: "Uncle, the emperor is so self-disciplined and willing to be disciplined and admonished by courtiers. It is obvious that he attaches great importance to civil servants and Confucianism. He is a holy emperor! Feng Baoyi should get rid of him!"
Zhang Juzheng remained silent.
Lu Tiaoyang, who never looked angry, couldn't help but cupped his hands and shook his head: "Yuan Fu!"
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Lu Tiaoyang: "Let's not mention the matter of Feng Bao. Do you really think that the emperor can be a holy emperor if he has a desire to govern and is thirsty for talents?"
"What do you mean, uncle?"
Lu Tiaoyang asked.
Zhang Juzheng said: "Explicitly expressing the intention to study and govern, so that all the officials in the high court think that they have the qualities of a holy king, in order to protect themselves and secretly cultivate the edge, hiding the intention of eliminating power and eunuchs, it is all a small amount of wisdom! It can only show that your Majesty has a small flaw. You are bright and wise, but if you really want to become a great weapon, you should know that you can rule the world only by removing one power. Your ministers and ministers are your majesty's servants. They are not your majesty's domestic slaves. How can you be willing to be driven by him without asking whether this move is beneficial to you? Are the common people of my father's country alive?"
Lu Tiaoyang opened his mouth to argue, but in the end he just bowed and said, "What my uncle said is absolutely true!"
Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, then turned around and started writing a congratulatory note for Zhu Yijun who wrote twelve things to warn him.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. With Mr. Zhang, the assistant of Yuan Dynasty, it is difficult for the civil servants of the foreign court to completely fall out with Feng Bao and help your majesty to go to this big competition!"
That night, Zhang Jing took advantage of Sun Hai's absence and sneaked up to Zhu Yijun to chat.
Zhu Yijun, who was standing on a chair and wanted to get a history book from the top of the bookshelf partition for night reading, stretched out his hands and did not respond to Zhang Jing. He just stood on tiptoe and couldn't get the history book he wanted, so he turned back to Zhang Jing. Whale ordered: "Bring me the set of "Four Books Annotations" on my case!"
Zhang Jing hurriedly took the "Collected Commentary on the Four Books" and said, "Why don't you let your servant take it for the emperor?"
"Okay, you just stand on top of it."
Zhu Yijun got off the chair first, then placed the "Collected Commentary on the Four Books" on the chair and began to give instructions to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing responded, stepped on the "Collected Commentary on Four Books" and the chair, and took down the history book Zhu Yijun wanted to read for him.
After Zhu Yijun took it, he asked Zhang Jing: "How is your face?"
"It's just a little swollen."
Zhang Jing replied with a smile.
Zhu Yijun said: "Go down and rest. Sun Hai will be on duty tonight."
"yes!"
Zhang Jing also retreated.
Zhu Yijun is reading history books here.
There is no way, there are too few entertainment methods at night in this era, and because of the strict discipline of his mother, he, the emperor, cannot even experience many entertainment methods in this era, so he can only read books to pass the time. Compared with Confucian classics , among the books he can read, only history books are interesting.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun could only choose to pass the time by reading history books.
But after Zhu Yijun read the history book about a stick of incense, he discovered that Sun Hai had always been in the future.
Zhu Yijun wondered loudly and called out: "Come here!"
After a while, an eunuch stumbled out of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"Where's Sun Hai?"
The eunuch replied: "Eunuch Sun has gone to be the Supervisor of Ceremonies!"
