While the newlywed Princess Yongning and Qi Xingguo were immersed in their own interests, Zhu Yijun was also living his own imperial life in the quiet years.
The early spring of the tenth year of Wanli was a very enjoyable period of imperial time for Zhu Yijun.
Because history really has undergone greater changes at this moment, it also makes up for his many difficulties in coming to terms with this period of history.
In terms of family affairs, Princess Yongning no longer married the sick Liang Bangrui because of Feng Bao's corruption, but instead married a son of a general whom she liked. There is no doubt that her future life will no longer be a tragedy.
In terms of national affairs, the Ming Dynasty finally promoted its national prestige to the Japanese country and embarked on the road of external expansion.
In addition, Qi Jiguang finally fulfilled Haibo's wish and was granted the title of Duke, which was worthy of his status as the first general of the Ming Dynasty at this time.
Yu Dayou was no longer like in history, who was robbed of his many credits and passed away quietly, and eventually had to be awarded a title.
As for Zhu Yijun himself, he has a queen he personally chose, who is very affectionate, and is about to become the father of a child.
Therefore, when he was walking to Kunning Palace, he couldn't help but think to himself that the emperor in the prosperous age was nothing more than this.
"The solemn tidbits are late, and the feathers are red and light."
In the courtyard of Kunning Palace.
Empress Du, whose belly was slightly swollen, was holding a book and looking up at Yue Yue Fangfei. When she lightly opened her lips and read Du Gongbu's poem, Zhu Yijun happened to see this scene because he didn't let anyone know, and he also smiled and said : "The queen is in such a good mood!"
"Your Majesty is here?"
Queen Du smiled slightly and immediately put down the book.
Zhu Yijun nodded and started chatting with Queen Du.
Not long after, other concubines came here to pay their respects to Queen Du, and also wanted to meet Zhu Yijun.
These concubines have been in the palace for four years. No matter how shy they are, they are more relaxed and know that they have to take the initiative to find opportunities to see the emperor.
After all, there is only one young man in the palace.
Affected by the environment of later generations, he did not regard women as playthings, nor did he have the seriousness and generosity of his father and brothers at home.
In fact, although Zhu Yijun has been choosing his concubines for four years, he only knows most of them by their names, and he has not yet become familiar with their temperaments and bodies.
The main reason is that Zhu Yijun was only in his teens ten years ago and was not suitable for indulgence, so he had to be restrained. Moreover, most of his concubines were only about 10 years old when they entered the palace. Apart from being unable to control himself, he was not in a hurry to break flowers and smell the fragrance of other concubines.
However, in the current tenth year of Wanli, his concubines have become even more outstanding and graceful. They are all as beautiful as flowers in March, and their sweet smiles are full of fragrance.
Fortunately, it was difficult to concentrate on one of the flowers, so Zhu Yijun did not lose his concentration. He only asked, "What have you been doing these days?" when the flowers surrounded him.
"Flower arrangement."
Concubine Liu Zhao replied at this time.
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Concubine Yang Yifei thought for a while and said, "I am making a new kind of tea. I have added sorrel and maple sugar to it. It can remove the fishy smell of cheese and the bitter taste of tea, and replenish people's qi and blood."
Zhu Yijun knew that the so-called ghee in this era was a kind of artificially fermented milk, and maple sugar was a type of sucrose.
Generally speaking, what Yang Yifei makes is milk tea.
Zhu Yijun also asked: "How did you come up with the idea of doing this?"
"I recently read books and found that there is a record that Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty once made tea with jelly, and all the fishy and bitter taste was eliminated. When I was at home, I heard my father say that jelly nourishes people's qi and blood, so I came up with this idea."
Yang Yifei replied.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "In a few days, I will go to your place to taste this tea."
Yang Yifei couldn't hide her joy and said "yes".
Concubine Liu Zhao glanced at Zhu Yijun with some disappointment.
The other concubines also cast envious glances at Yang Yifei.
At this time, Empress Dudu smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know that Concubine Yang has been a doctor for generations. Her father is a famous doctor in Xinglin, especially good at gynecology. Therefore, she has been influenced by her ears and eyes and knows a lot about medical science. I asked her to give me some advice and pressed the button." After applying a few acupuncture points, the nausea was greatly reduced and the discomfort was much lessened. In addition, she also corrected many of the prescriptions in the imperial kitchen. After taking them to Dr. Li for questioning, they all said that she was right. When she had nothing to do, she even copied many of the prescriptions she had memorized from her father before entering the palace, saying she was afraid she would forget them in the future."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun looked at Yang Yifei again.
Yang Yifei only lowered her head, her face flushed.
"Can you check your pulse?"
Zhu Yijun suddenly asked.
Yang Yifei nodded: "Yes."
Zhu Yijun also said: "Yes, it is good for you to know some medical skills. I will send a message to the imperial kitchen to listen to your orders in the future. If a woman in the palace has an unspeakable disease, you can help treat it and order the imperial kitchen to get medicine." , if there is anything you need to know about me, you can come to see me directly and no one can stop you."
"yes!"
Yang Yifei agreed.
Then, Zhu Yijun asked about other concubines.
Stop gossiping.
Generally speaking, Zhu Yijun's current life is comfortable, and he can feel comfortable no matter in the court or in the harem.
After all, in the court, most of the ruling ministers were enlightened and virtuous people, and there was Zhang Juzheng, a minister who wanted to protect the country. In the harem, all the beauties were young and in their prime.
It can be said that the tenth year of Wanli was not only a prosperous year for the people of the world, but also a prosperous year for Zhu Yijun personally.
However, just because it is the tenth year of Wanli, it means that the reform has been carried out for ten years, and Zhang Juzheng, the teacher and chief assistant who carries the burden for him, has really reached the stage of physical and mental exhaustion.
And at the end of March of this year, when the reformist civil servants and military officers were promoted to high positions because of their great achievements in conquering the Japanese, Zhang Juzheng was even awarded the title of Grand Master. When he reached the peak of civil service, Zhang Juzheng suddenly relapsed and became seriously ill. It came suddenly and violently, and Zai Yusi suddenly fainted to the end.
"What did you say?"
"Mr. fainted?"
After Zhu Yijun learned about this, he stood up as if there was a thunder in his ears and walked quickly to the Shi Yusi.
Zhang Hong chased after him and said, "Go back to your Majesty, I have sent Doctor Li to see you. Doctor Li said that the disease has entered the brain. Even if you try your best to treat him, there is no guarantee that it will not happen again."
Zhang Jing also ran over at this time, knelt in front of Zhu Yijun, kowtowed and said: "I have seen the emperor!"
"Get up, why are you here?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
Zhang Jing said: "Because of the illness of Mr. Zhang, the assistant of Yuan Dynasty, because the old slave heard that Mr. Zhang had fainted in the imperial palace, he immediately asked the people in Zhang's house, and then learned that Mr. Zhang had been suffering from 'lower penis' since last autumn. Fever, severe blood in the stool, and frequent dizziness. However, because the officials and gentry had to pay food and work as errands together, and there were many civil unrest, the wives and concubines around him may not have known about it, and even his children did not know about it, and they did not take care of it seriously, so that today he suddenly suddenly Fainting."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun had some doubts about Zhang Juzheng's hypertension and intestinal diseases. The former may be a disease that is prone to occur in old age, especially for people like Zhang Juzheng who used to have a better diet. Intestinal diseases are often related to sitting for a long time. As a person, People who don't walk very much all year round and always ride in a sedan chair when going out are prone to intestinal diseases.
After thinking this way, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but regret giving Zhang Juzheng the Forbidden City shoulder bag.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to go to the Imperial Palace. Mr. Yuanfu Zhang has been carried back."
Zhang Hong hurriedly followed and said something.
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he returned to Qianqing Palace, and couldn't help but go to the Kyushu screen that Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun dedicated to him in the past. Looking at the name on it, he secretly thought that he might really have to enter the future without Zhang Juzheng to bear the burden for him. It's an era of action, and I can no longer hide behind the scenes. I really want to be pro-government and independent.
Zhu Yijun was vaguely looking forward to it, but also hesitant, even though he had already made such a plan.
"The factory guards must carefully investigate the reactions of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty and the people of the world to your husband's sudden fainting, and report what they know to me at any time."
Zhu Yijun was also curious about how the powerful bureaucrats would react to Zhang Juzheng's sudden fainting, so he gave Zhang Jing this order.
Zhang Jing raised his hands and said yes.
However, Zhang Juzheng woke up soon after, and under Li Shizhen's acupuncture treatment, he was able to sit up. However, he still had difficulty moving, so he asked Zhu Yijun for leave:
"I grant you a leniency of twenty to one month, and you are temporarily exempted from attending court lectures. As for the affairs in the cabinet, I will leave the invoices, memorials and other matters to be handled at my official residence."
