Although the empress has been canonized, for Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, going to Kunning Palace to spend the night is not a pleasure, but purely perfunctory. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info When the large-scale election was carried out before, he, the emperor, was just a decoration, and the Empress Dowager Rensheng Chen was also sick, and she never showed up again after participating in a selection review, and everything was personally checked by the Empress Dowager Li, and even Feng Bao's opinion was more important than him, the real emperor. So not only Queen Wang, but also Concubine Liu Zhao and Concubine Yang Yi, who were selected in the general election, he was not interested at all, and he never just came back from a night in response to the story.

The only effect of the big wedding for him is that it means that he is an adult and can be pro-government.

It's just that now this pro-government has to make countless discounts. If it weren't for the fact that he tasted a little sweetness in the matter of Liaodong, Zhu Yijun would have felt more aggrieved than the caged bird. At this moment, when Tian Yi stood in front of him, he whispered that Wang Fulin had held a banquet in the same pavilion the night before yesterday, and the audience was full of young Zhuang officials who were not of high grade, and the oldest was not more than thirty-six years old, but the real power was quite considerable, his eyes finally lit up. Tian Yi took the opportunity to whisper: "Moreover, Zhang Ning, the newly promoted celebrant of Gonggong Feng, was also invited. ”

"Wang Fulin even befriended a eunuch?"

Tian Yi hurriedly told him that after getting the news, he asked him to investigate and find out, Wang Fulin and Zhang Ning told the past in Hangzhou Beixinguan in detail, seeing Zhu Yijun touching his chin thoughtfully, his face full of calculation, he said in a low voice: "Through the Liaodong incident, Wang Fulin followed the emperor's wishes and dealt with both civil and military, and most of the outsiders felt that the emperor was indeed pro-government." In the past, Wang Fulin was just one person, but now that he has made friends with these like-minded young officials outside, sooner or later he will converge into a force that can be used by the emperor. ”

"I'm really as wise as a torch, and I didn't see the wrong person."

Zhu Yijun boasted to himself very naturally, and then asked in a low voice: "I heard that Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, is going to send his eldest son Li Rusong to Beijing to report on his behalf?" What do you think I would do if I left him to stay in the capital? ”

Tian Yi was stunned for a moment. Of course, he understood what Zhu Yijun meant, but he was afraid that he wanted to use this to hint to Li Chengliang who was the real person in charge of the DPRK and China. But Li Rusong, as the eldest son of Li Chengliang, heard that he is also a famous general seed who is quite talented in literature and martial arts, even if such a person is not placed in Liaodong, but transferred to other places in the nine sides to sharpen and fight, it is better than being placed in a rich nest like the capital, isn't this a pure waste of talent? However, although he disagreed very much in his heart, he thought that Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao would definitely not let the little emperor come so nonsense, and he wanted to endure it for the time being and not speak.

You must know that whether it is in the court or in the palace, Zhu Yijun has been rejected enough times all the time!

However, when Zhu Yijun even counted Li Chengliang's other sons, Tian Yi finally couldn't restrain himself: "Your Majesty, the rise of the Li family in Liaodong to the present, but it is only a matter of more than ten years, and putting Li Chengliang in the position of the Liaodong General Army, and fully supporting it behind him, this is actually the proposition of the former Shoufu Gao Xinzheng, and Mr. Yuanfu Zhang just continued to use this person." During the Jiajing period, the war situation in Liaodong was eroded, ten rooms and nine empty, and countless abandoned fields were abandoned, that is, when it came to Longqing, there was Zhang Xueyan in the text, and Li Chengliang in the martial arts, which improved a lot. The Liao people guarded the Liao land, which was exactly what the first emperor had set at that time. ”

Although seeing Zhu Yijun's face darkened all of a sudden, Tian Yi still had to persuade bitterly: "If the emperor leaves one Li Rusong, it will be fine, but the other sons of the Li family are now ......in the Liaodong Army."

Zhu Yijun slammed his fist on the armrest, and said angrily: "But according to the previous rules, those who go out to be the chief military officer are not all wives and sons who stay in the capital?" ”

"Your Majesty, it was the founding of the country, the generals were highly meritorious and famous, so they were heavily guarded, and now this rule is no longer what it used to be......

"But how did I hear that Qi Jiguang didn't take his wife with him in Jizhen?"

That was because Qi Jiguang and his wife had fallen out a long time ago, so now they are with their favorite concubines and sons......

Tian Yi said this in his heart, but in the palace, he said that Qi Jiguang favored his concubine and killed his wife, and in the future, if Zhu Yijun did the same and showed a little mouth, he would not live, so he could only say in a different way: "Your Majesty, the situation in Jizhen and Liaodong is different, not to mention, Qi Dashuai is not a native of Jizhen." And if Liaodong hadn't enabled Li Chengliang and a large number of local generals, these people fought bravely in order to prevent their homeland from being occupied by the captives, then Liaodong, which is located in the Chahaner Department, Duoyan Sanwei and the Jurchens, would have been able to support it now? Therefore, the imperial court has always been tolerant of Liaodong's civil and military affairs, and naturally will not break up people's wives and children......"

To put it mildly, Zhu Yijun finally dispelled that thought, and when Tian Yi retired and left the Qianqing Palace, although it was a cold day, his chest and back were sweating. He asked himself if he didn't want to climb up, so he helped the little emperor come forward to encircle Wang Fulin, hoping to take back the power of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng divided into two, but because of the sense of loyalty that he had cultivated in the inner study hall since he was a child. Because of this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao seemed to spare no effort in Zhu Yijun's cultivation and teaching, but what was the use of just reading the subset of scripture history?

People's ambitions will be different because of different status, Zhu Yijun, as the Son of Heaven, as long as there are close servants on the left and right, he will naturally want to take back power, but at the same time, what if the means can't keep up with the ideas?

When he returned to the celebrant supervisor, Tian Yi went to the inner study hall.

During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang strictly forbade the ministers to read and write and interfere in politics, but the entire Ming Dynasty had and only Zhu Yuanzhang was a diligent emperor. When it came to Renzong Xuanzong, these two further expanded the power of the ministers, not to mention, even Zhu Pi was too lazy to do it, Emperor Xuande directly delegated more than half of the power of the batch of red to the celebrant eunuch, and also set up an inner study hall, and selected two or three hundred little eunuchs to study at one time.

Since then, the Ming Dynasty has added an unwritten rule in addition to the non-Jinshi not entering the Hanlin and non-Hanlin not entering the cabinet, that is, the non-inner study hall does not enter the clerical room, and the non-clerical room does not enter the ceremonial supervisor.

It's just that compared to people like Zhang Xuan Guicao, who have never entered the Hanlin Academy, can still be appointed as the head of the Hanlin Academy because of the special decree of Emperor Jiajing, and then promoted to the cabinet, those eunuchs who have not entered the Inner Study Hall are naturally impossible to return to the Inner Study Hall and study with a group of little eunuchs to rebuild the furnace, so although people like Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian are indispensable for a while, but really speaking, when they really come out of the Inner Study Hall, all the educated and aspiring eunuchs look down on them, so they have been gilded with Zhang Xuan Gui Cao in the Hanlin Academy. Others look down on them as well.

At present, the people studying in the inner study hall are all children who have just entered the palace and are no more than ten years old. Every year, without exception, they are carefully selected to be smart and handsome, suitable for reading, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are one in a hundred. Compared with those Jinshi outside who started their studies from a young age and came up from the imperial examination step by step, the teachers of these little eunuchs are even stronger, because all the people who teach here are senior Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy!

At this time, Tian Yi and Chen Ju, the head of the inner study hall, were watching these little eunuchs reading outside the window, and Tian Yi couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, some of these teachings have been paved from the time of teaching in order to visit the cabinet on a different day, and when they enter and leave the ceremonial supervisor, they are even more friendly with people everywhere, such as Yan Song; Some of them broke their hearts in order to let the eunuchs and eunuchs understand loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and to be able to support the court in the future, such as Lu Shen and Lu Ziyuan back then; There are also people who don't bother to teach eunuchs at all, and feel that they are just the remnants of their sentences, such as Shen Zhongchem, who is worried about Ding. ”

"If you hadn't entered the palace when you were young, if you hadn't entered the inner study hall, we would have been illiterate people in this life, where would we know loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness? It's just that hundreds of people come in, how can it be so easy to gain a foothold? If you are not careful, you will be bullied by your predecessors, **** by your classmates, and the books on your hair are just fictional stories, if I didn't worship under my ancestor Gao Gonggong, he gave books in private, how could there be today? ”

Chen Ju also sighed with emotion, and when he waited for him, the place where the inner study hall was in charge of affairs, he retreated, and then he asked Tian Yi in a low voice about the beginning and end of his previous entry into the Qianqing Palace. It turned out that he was in a private house yesterday, and after hearing his younger brother Chen Jugong tell Wang Fulin about the banquet in the same pavilion, he immediately informed Tian Yi, and then Tian Yi handed over a message to Zhu Yijun. At this moment, listening to Tian Yi picking out Zhu Yijun's thoughts, his brows furrowed into a big pimple.

"Fortunately, you advised the emperor, otherwise if the emperor really revealed such a tone to the outside, Mr. Yuanfu Zhang would definitely be furious, and then Gonggong Feng would go to Cining Palace to complain......"

Thinking that Empress Dowager Li would order Zhu Yijun to kneel down to apologize for his sins, Chen Ju couldn't help but feel a chill in his back when he saw Tian Yi's face like earth. Because of this, although Tian Yi once asked if he wanted to make it clear to Zhu Yijun that he was also helping, he insisted on only shrinking back to provide information. It's not that he is not loyal enough to the monarch, but he really feels that the three mountains inside and outside are pressing, and if Zhu Yijun is not careful, he may be the same as the batches of eunuchs who were purged in the Qianqing Palace.

And Tian Yi saw that Chen Ju was groaning, and immediately asked cautiously: "Lingang, Wang Fulin is now so widely winged outside, will Mr. Yuanfu Zhang be disgusted?" After all, he relied on Yuanfu's full support to get to where he is today, and the emperor also deliberately encircled him for this reason, if he angered Mr. Yuanfu Zhang because of this too flamboyant move, I won't say anything in vain, the emperor is only afraid that he will be disappointed. ”

"Brother Weichuan, you are confused. Who are these people Wang Fulin invited to the banquet this time? Chen Ju asked Tian Yi to sit down opposite, only then did he get a little closer, and said in a low voice, "Cheng Naixuan is known to everyone, his fellow villagers, friends, the same year, and his in-laws, and he has always helped him do a lot of things. And Li Yaoqing became a member of the Wenxuan Division of the Ministry of Officials because of the power of the old Yin Pavilion in front of him, and he was the protégé of Mr. Yuanfu Zhang! Except for these two people, the other three people are all in such a situation because of Wang Fulin! ”

Tian Yi was said by Chen Ju, thinking about what he quickly let people hear, Huang Long and Zhu Zheng's political achievements and resumes, he had to admit that Chen Ju was not exaggerating. But for the rest of the people who stood out from the crowd, his face was a little strange: "It is said that Zhang Ning robbed you of Lingang's position this time, why, do you think that he is also promoted to the master of ceremonies because of his relationship with Wang Fulin?" But he didn't preach it. If I hadn't asked someone to inquire this time and found out that he and Huanglong Zhu Zheng were both from Hangzhou, maybe I would have missed it. ”

"Why do you think Gonggong Feng would remain silent and operate him to follow Wang Fulin to meet the lady of the Zhang family? Father-in-law Feng is in charge of the East Factory, if it is not easy to find out the news? ”

Tian Yifu is five years older, but he has always been convinced of Chen Ju's judgment, and at this time he has to admit that the other party's judgment is likely to be right. Compared with those of them who have stayed in the palace and never gone out, Zhang Ning's qualifications are not very good-looking, and it is said that he has been punished in the inner study hall, and his grades are low, such a person is recommended by Feng Bao to go up to Ren Suitang, and he is indeed inseparable from Wang Fulin.

Seeing that Tian Yi had obviously agreed with his words, Chen Ju smiled and said, "And Wang Fulin can persuade Yuan Fu to change his mind on the matter of Liaodong, you still don't understand what this means?" ”

This time, Tian Yifang really realized it. Zhang Juzheng has now introduced Shen Shixing, a junior of the Hanlin Academy who has always had a good relationship, in the Shangshu layer, there are Wang Guoguang, Li Youzi, Pan Sheng and others, and at the level of Shilang, there is Zeng Shengwu Wang Seal, and in Kedao, although there is Zuodu Yushi Chen Ji, although there are so many people who jointly wrote to ask Zhang Juzheng to stay, but it is not as good as the status of Wang Fulin in Zhang Juzheng's heart, and even Chen Sanmo has to stand aside in the matter, is this not obvious? As long as Wang Fulin is cautious, does not make big mistakes, and forms his own small circle under Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng will not be disgusted.

"It seems that I was really scared by the emperor." Tian Yi wiped his forehead, and said with a somewhat self-deprecating wry smile, "I'm old, I only know the shadow of the cup bow and snake, and I'm startled, if it weren't for Lingang to wake up, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well for a few days." ”

"A companion is like a tiger." Chen Ju was obviously very considerate of Tian Yi's mood, but when his little apprentice who was guarding outside knocked on the door and came in, lowered his voice and said a word, his face changed suddenly.

"Mr. Yuanfu Zhang fainted in the cabinet room."

Not to mention Chen Ju, Tian Yi almost jumped up from the chair. Both of them are in their early forties, and the absolute young and strong faction among the celebrants and supervisors can be promoted to the hall and even the celebrant to the pen if they stay in this position for two years. Although there is a change in the upper echelons, which means that they may have a chance, none of them are eager for quick success and ambition, and the biggest reaction at this time is that something bad is going to happen!

After Chen Ju sent the little eunuch out, he immediately said to Tian Yi: "Yuanfu is sick, and the cabinet is the second assistant Zhang Ge is the leader. Brother Weichuan, if I were you, even if I wasn't sick at this time, I would get sick first! ”

These words sounded awkward, but Tian Yi suddenly realized. Zhang Siwei was suppressed by Zhang Juzheng to the point that he could hardly talk about power, and was stared at to death by Feng Bao all the time, this second assistant was even more uncomfortable than Lu Tiaoyang, but he couldn't resign. At this time, Zhang Juzheng suddenly fell ill, but it meant that Zhang Siwei seized the best opportunity, but it may also be the last chance.

And being involved in such a whirlpool at such a time is a great opportunity for them, but the risk is even greater! What's more, when he was running for the emperor, he might not really show any traces at all

So, Tian Yi said almost without thinking: "Lin Gang, don't worry, I know how to measure." It's a big deal, I won't stay any longer, farewell! (To be continued.) )
