As soon as the cumbersome etiquette was over, Rao was pragmatic and prepared, and he ate a few burnt circles in the carriage on the way to the palace early in the morning, and he also felt that he was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, standing beside Zhu Yijun, his eyes were about to glow green.

He quietly looked at the hourglass not far away, and found that it was already three o'clock, and he knew that he was hungry today, but he was afraid that he would not run—this point was not sure to make up for food, so he could only stay up until lunch.

Thinking about it, my stomach "growled".

At this time, the emperor had already left because of the "procedure", and the others were far away because of the "division of monarchs and ministers", and no one heard it, only Zhu Yijun heard it at once.

Gao Pragmatic was a little embarrassed, but when he saw that Zhu Yijun was slightly leaning away, his head was upright, but his voice came, and he was actually a little gloating: "Ha, I didn't eat enough in the morning, right?" Fortunately, I was reminded by my companion that I had a basket of steamed dumplings and a bowl of millet porridge before coming. ”

Gao pragmatic glanced at Feng Bao, who was not far away, and said secretly: This class hasn't started yet, let's compete in advance?

However, he whispered: "Your Highness is so blessed." "It is also the head that remains still, and even the mouth is opened and closed as small as possible so as not to be discovered.

Fortunately, others don't dare to look directly at the prince for nothing, so everything is as usual.

Zhu Yijun said again: "Don't worry, bear with me, I only talk about the "Three Character Classic" today, I will memorize it a long time ago, and when the time comes, I can give food to the gentlemen after memorizing it early, and you also have a copy." ”

"Oh."

Gao pragmatic didn't understand it for a while, what does it mean to "you also have a share"? I'm here to read to you, can't you even eat when you get to the meal?

Who knew that Zhu Yijun said again: "You 'oh' and what', if your father hadn't specially asked yesterday, you would have been hungry at noon tonight - there is no such rule in the palace!" ”

Gao Pragmatic was taken aback, only then did he know that the rules in the palace of the Ming Dynasty were very powerful, and his prince's companion was specially set up, and all the corresponding systems were equivalent to not having their own share, and they didn't even have this lunch, if it weren't for Longqing who didn't know why he asked, this meal would have been very hungry.

Immediately, he hurriedly said: "Please tell Your Majesty His Royal Highness, Your Majesty cares so much, Wechen is terrified, if there is a chance to meet the saint next time, Wechen will definitely thank him personally." ”

Zhu Yijun was satisfied and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Gao Shishi saw that Zhu Yijun was really still a normal child, and deliberately asked: "But Your Highness, will Weichen have to go home for lunch tomorrow?" ”

"No, my father has already confessed, and your senior attendant will always give food with the gentlemen in the future—just withdraw the wine, and everything else is the same."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness." Gao pragmatically said: It's good to give food together, and I have the opportunity to communicate privately with these gentlemen.

Sure enough, this morning's class was relatively simple, and it was finished by memorizing a few pages of the three-character scripture, and the three-character scripture had actually been memorized by Zhu Yijun a long time ago, so it didn't take long to get it done. Today's lecturer, Mr. Chen Jingbang, praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his intelligence and cleverness, and then dismissed the class.

However, Gao Pragmatic and Chen Jingbang did not have any private communication - today is the first time the prince has taken a class, and all kinds of ceremonies are too complete, and when the two of them are eating, there are more than a dozen eunuchs waiting around them, so what else is there to communicate? The teacher and student could only stage a gentleman's play: "Food is silent".

After lunch, in the afternoon, it was Zhu Yijun's special class, accompanied by Feng Bao and Gao Shishi, to read a court essay and the cabinet's vote.

This course was set up by Gao Gong under the advice of Gao Shishi, which has never been done before. The reason given by Gao Pragmatic is to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know some government affairs in advance, because it is limited to one article, and it will not affect the coursework, and over time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can "verify what he has learned", which is of great benefit.

Gao Gong thought it was good, so he took his advice.

But in fact, the reason Gao Pragmatic said is obviously just official words on the surface, what he really wants is to use this means to give Zhu Yijun the opportunity to participate in understanding part of government affairs - although Zhu Yijun can only "learn" in theory and cannot participate in it, but the prince is the prince after all, Zhu Yijun is watching at the same time, Gao Pragmatic has the opportunity to "discuss" with him because he also has to be by his side.

It is conceivable that in this kind of discussion, Gao Pragmatism can be used to exert influence on Zhu Yijun, first, it quietly instills some less obvious reform thinking, and second, at a critical moment, it can lead the prince to express his views on certain matters - this view, under the guidance of Gao Pragmatism, is likely to be obviously biased in the direction that Gao Pragmatism wants.

The personal opinion of the minor crown prince is of course meaningless in theory, but in practice...... It's hard to say, maybe sometimes it works wonders?

And the text that the prince wants to read today is an impeachment and a cabinet vote to approve it.

The targets of impeachment were Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, Liu Shiyan, Liu Shiyan, Sincerity Bo, Jiang Bao, the priest of Nanjing, and Sun Zhi, the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department.

It is said in the chapter that Xu Pengju asked his concubine Zheng to be his wife, abandoned the elder and the young, and sent him to Nanjing Guozijian. Liu Shiyan intended to make his youngest son rich, married in marriage, secretly asked the prison to refute the investigation, and bribed Jiang Bao with gold, silver and jewelry, refuted the investigation, provoked the dispute between the two sons, and caused a family disaster. And Sun Zhi was bribed by Xu Peng to ask for Mrs. Zheng for the Zheng family.

This Nanjing official asked Wang Zhen to dismiss the four of them.

The reply of the officials was: Zheng's edict has been pursued by Qin's order. Sun Zhi and Jiang Bao took bribes remotely, so they returned home to listen to the investigation, and transferred to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the performance, and discussed it separately.

The reply of the Ministry of Officials itself is the meaning of Gao Gong, so the cabinet just went through a smooth process and expressed its agreement with the disposal of the Ministry of Officials. The approval made by the celebrant on behalf of the emperor is even simpler, with only three words: "quasi-cabinet discussion". That is, to approve the vote of the cabinet.

Zhu Yijun looked at it, frowned and said: "In the final analysis, this matter was caused by this Xu Pengju, Liu Shiyan was even more bribed and disorderly, why did he only punish Jiang Bao and Sun Zhi in the end?" ”

Feng Bao whispered on the side: "Master, Xu Pengju and Liu Shiyan are both hereditary titles after the founding heroes, and they stayed in Nanjing, but they are the home of the country's rest, and they are punished excessively, which is somewhat disgraceful to the court." ”

Gao pragmatic did not speak.

Zhu Yijun was very angry, and said: "I know that they are meritorious heroes, but after meritorious heroes, they should stick to the law, how can they act so recklessly?" If you don't punish them, won't you lose the face of the court? He turned his head, looked at Gao Shishi, and asked, "Gao Shixuan, tell me, should these two people be punished?" ”
