In the afternoon, the Cining Palace was quiet, firstly, the Empress Dowager Li had the habit of taking a nap, and secondly, she was in a bad mood these days, and everyone was tiptoeing when they walked, for fear of touching the moldy head and making her angry, even Zhu Yijun came without exception, and the volume was as low as possible when asking: "Is Niangniang still asleep?" ”

Xia He whispered: "I'm asleep, I didn't fall asleep until dawn last night......

"Oh, then I won't go in, and when I turn around, the queen wakes up and tells her that I will come and ask her to come and say goodbye......"

"Is the Emperor coming? Come on in. Before Zhu Yijun's words were finished, Li Caifeng's lazy voice came from the warm pavilion.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but there are copper basins in the four corners of the room, and there are ice cubes in them, although most of them have melted, but they are still bubbling with cold, as soon as they enter the house, Zhu Yijun's sweat suddenly disappeared by half, and said with a smile: "This ghost weather, it is still comfortable in the house...... Didn't Xia He say that you didn't sleep well last night, why didn't you sleep more? ”

"This girl is a quick mouth...... If you don't sleep, you won't be able to sleep at night...... Is there a letter from Zicheng? ”

Zhu Yijun's expression darkened and he shook his head.

"The mourning family is also wondering, so many people are looking for him, even if he gets into the hole, there should be some clues, right? It's been a few days, and a big living person, can he still disappear out of thin air? ”

Zhu Yijun understands the mood of the Empress Dowager Li very well at the moment, his mother has a strict temperament on the surface, but in fact, she is still a kind-hearted person in her bones, in order to help her father inherit the throne, she naturally did everything she could, and afterwards, in order to stabilize her position, she ordered Li Kun to kill the fetus, which eventually led to Li Kun's death, which was also a helpless move, but she was so fond of Zhang You, and she was more afraid of guilt.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, Zicheng Ji is a celestial person, and he will definitely return safely." Zhu Yijun persuaded Empress Dowager Li to say that although such words, as time went by, even he himself became suspicious, but he still swore by it.

"Don't comfort the mourning family, just now the mourning family dreamed that Zicheng came back, the dreams are all reversed, after so many days, there should have been news a long time ago...... It's all fate, this child's life is really bitter! ”

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Li somehow touched the injury, and her big bloodshot eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mist.

Zhu Yijun was faintly surprised, but such a mood flashed away, he couldn't help but think of the dream he had that night, thinking that he might never see Zhang You again, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and his heart seemed to be gripped by a pair of invisible big hands.

Zhang You, Zhang You, you kid is so hateful, it makes me and the queen mother so sad, you'd better not come back, wait until you come back, see how I clean you up!

Thinking wildly, Zhu Yijun didn't want to continue the topic, so he smiled and said: "Okay, Queen Mother, let's not mention him, let's talk about something else, Nanjing Deputy Garrison Sun Yi is critically ill, I'm afraid it will be useless, who to send to take his place, the child wants to discuss it with you." ”

Nanjing is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang built the capital after the founding of the country, and then, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, but the status is still very important, known as "Liudu" or Nanzhili, in addition to the absence of the emperor, the inner court and the outer court, all set up according to Beijing, set up a garrison, filled by the prince Boxun, the prime minister up and down matters. When he arrived at Renzong, plus a eunuch as a deputy garrison, he was responsible for supervising the army, and Zhang You was actually referring to this position.

In fact, the garrison eunuchs, as the pro-faction of the Son of Heaven, often represent the will of the emperor, so the actual power of the name Zuo Er is often above the garrison, and he is called "the close minister of the Son of Heaven three thousand miles away." ”

As for the current garrison of Nanjing, it is the new Bowang Chengxun, who later served as the governor of Caoyun for nearly 20 years, and was the last Caoyun general of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is not the main reason why he is famous in history, the main thing is that he has a grandfather who will be famous in the annals of history - a famous politician, thinker, military strategist, founder of psychology, and the first Ming Dynasty Xinbo Wang Yangming.

Far from it.

"Sun Yi is an old man, he entered the palace when Jiajing was a master, and he is honest and does his duty on weekdays, and never acts nonsense...... Time flies! In the impression of the mourning family, he is still the half-old man who laughs first when he sees people, and in the blink of an eye, he is ...... After a hundred years, it is necessary to be buried thickly, and the hearts of the people below cannot be cold. ”

"Erchen knows that the queen mother Bodhisattva has a heart, if that Sun Yi hears your words, Jiuquan will definitely be very happy." Originally, it was a matter of opening up the topic, so although Empress Dowager Li was verbose, Zhu Yijun was not impatient.

Empress Dowager Li waved her hand: "Is there any candidate in the emperor's heart?" ”

"The Inner Palace Supervisor Yin Tian Yierchen thinks it's okay, he is also the errand of the ceremonial supervisor and the clerk's housekeeper, and his qualifications are enough......"

"Tian Yi? It's pretty safe! However, Chen Niangniang of Ciqing Palace came to stay with the mourning family a day ago, and also mentioned the succession of Sun Yi......"

"What did she say?"

Listening to what she meant, she wanted Zhang Cheng to pass...... Old Zhang Hong served Sister Chen back then, and her affection was no better than others, Zhang Cheng was the most useful under Zhang Hong's name, she was willing to speak for him, it must be Lao Zhang Hong who was looking for her. ”

"Zhang Cheng is okay, but he is the steward of Kunning Palace, and he is deeply favored by the queen, if this is sent to Nanjing, is the queen willing?"

"You don't know, two days ago, the queen came to the mourning family and wanted to mention a steward in her palace named Chen Ju, and the mourning family asked her if Zhang Cheng was not agreeable, although she didn't admit it, the mourning family felt that she must have something hidden in her heart...... Originally, you were busy with state affairs, and the mourners didn't want to bother you about these trivial matters in the harem, but they came to this in a hurry. The queen is probably fine, Sister Chen rarely opens her mouth once, and the mourning family thinks you should consider considering his opinion. ”

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Erchen is awake!" Said with a somewhat contemptuous smile: "It is said that this stay is fat, and it is true, there are really a lot of people who hit the wooden clock, Tian Yi will not say it, Zhang Cheng wants to go, Daban also wants Zhang Dashou to go, and even Sun Dexiu of the Ten Princes' Mansion has made a mention of it to his son......

"When the water is clear, there is no fish, don't be too disgusted by the emperor, those eunuchs are all people who are left behind in their sentences, in addition to serving people on weekdays, their biggest hobby is to hold some silver, so as to earn a coffin book for the future, as long as you don't go too far, you just turn a blind eye."

"The sons and daughters that the queen mother said also know that the sons actually trust them more than those foreign ministers...... It still makes sense for Zicheng's analysis, the power of eunuchs comes from the emperor, and as long as they want to take it back, they can take it back at any time, so they have to work hard to please and be loyal. Those foreign ministers are different, many people don't actually care about the fate of the country, they are more willing to leave their names in history, pay more attention to their own interests, in their hearts, anyway, if they change the emperor, they will still be their courtiers......"

Zhu Yijun suddenly fell silent, and Empress Dowager Li was stunned and let out a long sigh.

Don't mention it, don't mention it, in the end, the topic still comes back to Zhang You.
