Zhu Yijun then came to Queen Du.
Seeing Zhu Yijun's absent-minded look, Empress Du stood up quickly and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, is there news from Jiangling?"
Zhu Yijun sat on the couch where Queen Du sat just now.
After Queen Du sat down, Zhu Yijun simply laid his head on Queen Du's lap and looked at Queen Du in the dark hair.
Empress Du smiled, stretched out her hand to touch Zhu Yijun's sharp face, and played with his light beard with her thumb, without asking any more questions.
Zhu Yijun suddenly pursed his lips: "I don't have a husband anymore!"
Immediately, Zhu Yijun put away his sad expression, as if he had put away ten years of dependence all at once, and sat up, touched the queen's belly, and even leaned in to listen.
"He loves to kick concubines more and more now."
Queen Du said with a smile.
Zhu Yijun smiled slightly and then said: "When he comes out, I will teach him a lesson!"
Then, Zhu Yijun lay down again, silently, just letting the queen's black hair brush across his cheek.
The queen only stayed with her and didn't speak.
The room was silent.
Even the entire Forbidden City was silent at this time.
The area around the Forbidden City, and even the entire land of China, was in a state of static at this moment.
Under the sky, only birds are flying, clouds are moving, only ordinary people are coming and going in the countryside and towns, only the greenery swaying in the wind is moving, and the sails are swaying.
Peaceful years.
But Zhang Jing, who was running quickly between Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, couldn't help but look up at the sky.
He didn't know whether it would be raining heavily or the sky would be bright and sunny at the next moment. He arrived at the inner hall where Zhu Yijun and Queen Du were staying as quickly as possible. He bowed across the hall door and said, "Your Majesty, the factory guard is here again." An urgent delivery from Jiangling."
Not long after, Zhu Yijun came out, stretched out his hand to Zhang Jing and said, "Bring it here!"
Zhang Jing then handed over the urgent delivery.
Zhu Yijun looked at it and asked Zhang Jing to pick up the important things.
Zhang Jing then reported: "Back to the Emperor, Li Zhi was ordered to go to Huguang to mobilize the scholars to support Mr. Zhang, the Grand Master, and the results have already appeared!"
"Although most of the scholars who supported Mr. Zhang's restructuring were descendants of Han Confucian officials, many of them, under the instigation of Li Zhi and others, went to see Mr. Zhang to express their respect. According to Zhang Mansion's Jinyi Guardian Mr. Zhang, the Grand Master, was very happy. He slept well that night and did not cry out in pain. The next day, he had the strength to go to the mountain to worship his ancestors."
"very good!"
Zhu Yijun laughed after hearing Zhang Jing's words, and said: "I know that what Mr. Xiang wants to see most now is this, to see that the people who uphold his ambitions are not cut off, especially in his hometown of Chu. Seek out talents for the country!”
As he spoke, Zhu Yijun gave instructions with a stern face: "When the Jin Yiwei who went to Nanzhi captured Xu Jie's express delivery on August 15th, he immediately reported it to me. In addition, he sent an order to the Imperial Guard to let Zhang Siwei uses the secondary assistant to act as the chief assistant and the foreman to serve as the chief minister."
Zhang Jing raised his hands and said yes.
Zhu Yijun then returned to Qianqing Palace and did nothing else.
Since he was absent from court for ten days, he simply gave himself a long vacation. After getting enough rest, he planned to officially come to the stage and give the bureaucrats of the previous government a big surprise.
Moreover, Zhu Yijun did not rush to tear off Zhang Siwei's mask first, but also asked him to act as the first assistant step by step.
He planned to let Zhang Siwei tear off his mask by himself. After all, if he wore the mask for a long time, it would be more painful to tear it off by himself.
At this time, the bureaucrats of the previous dynasty also knew the news of Zhang Juzheng's death because Zhu Yijun ordered to leave the court due to Zhang Juzheng's death.
Zhang Siwei naturally knew this, but he was not in a hurry to tear off his mask of supporting the reform, but said to Zhang Siwei:
"His Majesty's attitude is not yet clear, and everything is still in a state of uncertainty. It is not appropriate for us to take the lead at this time. We should let the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology sing this huge drama!"
"Cabinet, it's time to give up power and cooperate."
"Everything should be returned to the old system, things should be returned to the six departments, and words should be returned to science."
With that said, Zhang Siwei added another sentence and forcibly resisted the desire to see the chief minister's official residence.
Zhang Sijiao nodded and said, "Brother is right. But Ke Dao also needs some direction from the cabinet ministers. After all, they don't know whether they should impeach Zhang Jiangling directly now."
"Peel off the cocoon!"
"You can tell them that Pan Xinchang has colluded with Zhang Jing in the inner court."
Zhang Siwei said with a smile.
Zhang Sijiao also followed Zhang Siwei's instructions and first sent Qiu Li to meet with Zhang Dingsi, who was in charge of Li Kezuo.
As soon as Zhang Juzheng died, all the bureaucrats in the dynasty seemed to be much more relaxed. Therefore, Zhang Dingsi was in a good mood to have tea and chat with Lei Shizhen.
After tasting a book of tea, Lei Shizhen asked Zhang Dingsi: "Have the Ministry of Rites and the Rites Department agreed on the posthumous title for Zhang Jiangling?"
Zhang Dingsi laughed and said: "What's the rush? Just wait for now!"
"Drag?"
Lei Shizhen was a little surprised.
"Why do you think the imperial court should give Zhang Jiangling a beautiful posthumous title?"
Zhang Dingsi asked back.
Lei Shizhen smiled.
"Even if you want to get a good posthumous title, you still have to put it off. Don't worry, let's steal some free time first!"
Zhang Dingsi said, "When Zhang Jiangling was here, he worked so hard that he had to finish everything on the same day. Now that Zhang Jiangling is gone, if he is still so strict, wouldn't Zhang Jiangling's death be in vain?!"
"Do the ministers in the cabinet now dare to control us as strictly as Zhang Jiangling?"
"That makes sense!"
Lei Shizhen replied with a smile and said: "Your Majesty will be absent from court for ten days, so we also have to take a long vacation."
And just after Lei Shizhen said this, Zhang Dingsi's family came to report and Qiu Li came to visit.
Zhang Dingsi hurriedly said goodbye to Lei Shizhen, met Qiu Li, and asked hurriedly: "What do you think, Mr. Ge, what posthumous title should be given to him in Jiangling?"
Qiu Li smiled and glanced at the maid of the Zhang family who served him tea, then put away her squinting smile and said: "Don't worry about it now, let's take care of the Xinchang guy first. This person has already colluded with Neiyu."
Lei Shizhen did not leave, but came over to eavesdrop. After hearing Qiu Li's words, he hurriedly came in and said, "Then we should impeach Pan Xinchang!"
Qiu Li and Zhang Dingsi nodded: "Very true!"
Therefore, Lei Shizhen couldn't wait to write a memorial to impeach Pan Cheng, saying that Pan Cheng "has been desecrated to Tsinghua University for a long time, has no knowledge of integrity and extraordinary ability, and has given up his integrity and shame, but he has sweet words and charming words." He even said that when Pan Cheng was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, , the late emperor often reprimanded him because of his obvious filth, and also said that after Pan Cheng came back to power, the public opinion was even more abhorred. Moreover, a despicable man like Pan Cheng has gone too far in roaming around in the forest, and now he has to be entrusted with important tasks. Doesn't it open the door for those who are greedy for glory and advancement? Therefore, Zhu Yijun was asked to take back his life and choose someone older than him.
However, Zhang Dingsi was not in a hurry to impeach Pan Cheng. He chose to wait and see for a while and delay.
When Lei Shizhen wrote this memorial, Zhu Yijun was resting in Concubine Yang Yifei's palace. Not long after he finished tossing Yang Yifei, he was covered in sweat and had to take a bath. After bathing and changing clothes, he went to Concubine Yang's courtyard. Take a break, eat Yang Yifei’s newly made magnolia jelly, and enjoy your free time.
"Back to Your Majesty, this magnolia jelly is made from Xili gel. It has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, promoting body fluids and quenching thirst, and most importantly, nourishes the skin."
Therefore, while Concubine Yang was rubbing Zhu Yijun's shoulders, she told Zhu Yijun about the Ming Dynasty drink Magnolia Jelly.
Zhu Yijun asked: "So, your white skin and body fragrance are also nourished by magnolia jelly?"
Concubine Yang smiled slightly and did not comment.
At this time, Zhang Jing came over.
Seeing this, Zhu Yijun asked: "But there is news from Nanzhi?"
Zhang Jing said: "Back to the emperor, there is a memorial from the imperial censor to impeach a cabinet minister. The person impeaching is Mr. Pan Ge."
Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then handed the uneaten magnolia jelly to Concubine Yang.
Concubine Yang had difficulty getting up, so she handed it to her maid to carry.
Zhang Jing went to push the eunuch away, pulled the thread, and took the initiative to fan Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun continued to lie on the rocking chair, enjoying the breeze from the artificial fan and said: "The storm is coming."
Then, Zhu Yijun stood up and ordered: "Reject this book on the grounds that it was recommended by Mr. Zhang before his death. How can this book be blasphemed with the old book? The Chief of Ceremonies will directly criticize it without going to the cabinet!"
Zhang Jing said: "I obey the order!"
