Chapter 790: The Little Emperor's Adventure in the West Garden

Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, fifteen years old this year, the news of the big wedding has been spread as early as this year, the date is set for next year, and now the entire capital is being drafted. Although sixteen years old is not a very early marriage age for a folk man, for Zhu Yijun, marriage means adulthood, adulthood means pro-government, and pro-government means that he does not have to live under the same roof as his mother, Empress Dowager Cisheng Li, and he doesn't even have to sleep lazily every morning, and he is dragged up from bed by a eunuch to read before dawn.

But it's not so much that he hates his mother who is too strict, but rather that he is afraid of such a mother, in contrast, when he is sick and weak all year round, there is more medicinal fragrance in the house, rather than the mother-in-law of the Empress Dowager Chen, who is scholarly and inky, which makes him feel more kind. He has no impression of his father, Emperor Longqing, and his father has never disciplined him much, and his mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Chen, is also happy when she sees him, and everything is up to him, but his mother, Empress Dowager Li, is different. In the past five years, my mother has lived in the Qianqing Palace, getting along with him day and night, but she rarely even has a smile, and she just doesn't allow him to do this or that.

Of course, Zhu Yijun also knew what Empress Dowager Li was worried about. His mother once said to him mercilessly in person that Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde was too young when he ascended the throne, but he did whatever he wanted, so he made Liu Jin and other Eight Tigers rampant, and finally died; And Emperor Yingzong was also a young lord who ascended the throne and favored Wang Zhen, so there was a change in the civil fort, and the foundation of the older generation of nobles in the court was almost swept away. He was the emperor. It is necessary to learn from the historical facts of the past.

That's why. Empress Dowager Li supervised his inner servants very strictly. In addition, Feng Bao released people directly by his side, so whenever the eunuchs around him were caught with a little braid, they would be replaced, or they would be driven directly to Nanjing or the Imperial Tomb Sixiang, in this regard, he was also used to being cautious in everything and only grasping a few people with henchmen. The rest of the people don't care about life or death.

After all, he can only do this occasionally when he goes to the Wenhua Hall to see the excitement.

Therefore, taking advantage of these days, Empress Dowager Li often went to see the sick Empress Dowager Chen, and Zhu Yijun took the time to sneak to Xiyuan with a few eunuchs to play - although he, the emperor, was not yet in power, what kind of expenses to use, whether it was Zhang Juzheng or other officials, all of them were full of advice. Therefore, the renovation of the West Garden has always been difficult.

After all, since Emperor Jiajing, most of his life has lived here. Emperor Longqing, who was extremely disgusted with this place, never went to it after he ascended the throne, and Xiyuan was once deserted. He could only privately instruct Sun Hai, who was secretly transferred to Xiyuan to be in charge of the renovation, so the eunuchs secretly made a small fuss from the account of the inner library, and finally cleared up some places where they could enjoy the fun.

Of course, even so, he didn't dare to hide it all from Empress Dowager Li, and this distraction is not something like this every day, and it would be good to be able to spare one day out of ten days to come over to play.

At this moment, wandering in this place where the legend was the mansion of King Yan back then, Zhu Yijun's heart was naturally relaxed. There is no Empress Dowager Li staring all the time, no Zhang Juzheng is in charge all the time, and no Feng Bao is unusually present, teaching him how to do with a smiling face, only everything follows his inner servant. When he walked slowly all the way, and finally came to an octagonal pavilion, he saw that there was already a wine banquet neatly prepared, and the dishes were dazzling, more than twice as rich as in the Qianqing Palace, so he sat down with a smile and tasted a date casually, and then nodded to Zhang Cheng on the side.

"You're doing a great job."

"If the emperor is satisfied, the little ones will be happy." Zhang Whale answered before Zhang Cheng, and when he saw Emperor Wanli holding chopsticks and pointing at one piece of food, he immediately sent everything to this Son of Heaven. After all, if it is in the palace, no matter how much she likes it, Empress Dowager Li will never let the little emperor eat more, and the Tao is to be modest. Zhang Cheng on the side couldn't help but feel tired when he saw him like this, but before he could tactfully persuade him, he heard Zhang Jing say a word.

"Your Majesty, I just saw that you were in good luck, and the little one forgot that there seemed to be a Yuanfu on the side of the celebrant before, why don't you go and get it?"

Zhu Yijun's face changed as soon as he heard the word Yuanfu, and when he saw Zhang Cheng with his eyes, he remembered that although people are loyal, they have something to do with Feng Bao after all, and they have a lot of advice on weekdays, unlike Zhang Whale who will change his ways to please himself. So, without thinking about it, he said: "Zhang Whale, you stay, Zhang Cheng goes, remember that if you see your partner, just say that I just walked around in Xiyuan casually, and I will go back in a while." By the way, when I saw Zhang Banban, I would say to him again, a book like Ping Kouzhi, and send a few more books in. ”

Zhang Whale saw Zhang Cheng take the order after glancing at him, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and sneered in his heart. When the people were far away, he, the person with the highest status around Zhu Yijun, made a gesture to let the others leave farther away, and then he approached the little emperor and said in a low voice: "If the emperor likes to look at those things, the little ones can get better." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up immediately, but then he glanced at the eunuchs around him, but he snorted coldly from his teeth, and his voice was low: "Even if you get a better one, where can I go to see it?" Did you ask me to come to the West Garden to study every time? And, if the queen mother catches you showing me some kind of messy book, do you want to live? Extinguish this thought for me as soon as possible! ”

Where did Zhang Whale really dare to tempt Zhu Yijun to see those **** - you must know that Empress Dowager Li once had a precedent of killing her inner servants with a cane, just because she instigated the little emperor to waste his studies, and what he just said was much more serious than this - he just wanted to test and tempt, how much Emperor Wanli relied on him, and the current result undoubtedly made him overjoyed. So, he thanked Zhu Yijun for his compassion, and then said in a low voice: "If the emperor really wants to have fun, he might as well ask Sun Hai." The acres and threes of land in this West Garden are all under his control, and this place is not under the noses of the Queen Mother, Gonggong Feng and Lord Shoufu, just relax and relax. ”

Zhu Yijun blamed Zhang Whale in his mouth, but he could only read those sage books every day, and since he had read Ping Kouzhi. He really wanted to touch something other than the classics. However, there is no thief heart but not this thief's courage. Where is this book hidden, that is the biggest problem, my mother lives with him in the Qianqing Palace! But when Zhang Whale mentioned such a suggestion, he couldn't help but be moved.

And at this time, Zhang Whale struck while the iron was hot and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the Queen Mother has instructed you to let the little ones look at you, and you must not indulge your temperament." But I can't bear to see how hard you are working these days. After a while, the little one will take the two Feng Gonggong's people to find an excuse to go first, Sun Hai will give you some fun, the little one should not know, so maybe there will be fewer people to sue behind their backs. ”

Zhu Yijun was finally completely moved. First, Sun Hai was instructed by him to transfer Zhang Hong to Xiyuan, Empress Dowager Li would not know such a little person at all, and secondly, he was not close to his henchmen, even if there was really a case, it was not worth throwing it out. So, after eating and drinking. He instructed Zhang Whale to call Sun Hai over.

This eunuch, who was rampant and domineering on the one-third of an acre of land in Xiyuan, knelt in front of Zhu Yijun at this moment. It was humble to the bones, but before he could say a lot of flattering words, seeing Zhang Whale standing there with a smile on his face, thinking that he had always been very indifferent to his dedication before, and never recommended him in front of the emperor, today the little emperor suddenly thought of himself, and he didn't know where the opportunity fell. So, he quickly used his brain to think about it, and immediately came up with an idea.

"Your Majesty, this place in Xiyuan has been abandoned for too long, but the little ones have been operating here for a while, in addition to this good wine and good food, there are some other gadgets to offer, I don't know if the emperor can appreciate it?"

"Huh?" Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What gadget?" ”

"This ...... Please also let me sell it. Sun Hai showed a smile very ambiguously, and seeing that Zhang Whale frowned, as if he wanted to admonish, he hurriedly said, "It's just a little song and dance." ”

Even if it is singing and dancing, for Zhu Yijun, it is an extraordinary temptation. You must know that as an emperor, when participating in various ceremonies, there are often music and dances taught by the Fang Division, but that is all for the sake of etiquette, from lyrics to dance steps, it is always in order, there is no novelty at all, but it will make the ceremony drag on longer. Therefore, at this time, he nodded without thinking about it and said: "If it is not interesting, I can only ask, lead the way, I don't have much time!" ”

Zhang Whale was overjoyed when he saw Sun Hai, and secretly sneered in his belly, when he turned around, when he cried. He knew that Emperor Wanli was far more interested in the land of Xiyuan than the small palace city, so he had already planned in private how to hold Xiyuan in his hands - Feng Bao and Zhang Hong, such as the master of ceremonies and supervisors, he didn't expect to be able to fight, Zhang Hong was still his godfather. But Zhang Cheng is different, he always has to let the old man know who is the most confidant eunuch around the little emperor. And to lay this foundation, he naturally needs power and connections, not the situation that seems to be respectful at the moment, but there are only two or three puppies and kittens in the twenty-four prison yamen who can only listen to his assignment.

Zhang Cheng at least has the name of the internal official eunuch and eunuch, even if he can't get involved with the celebrant eunuch, at least he has to take the imperial horse eunuch first!

If it weren't for Zhang Cheng's temperament, if Sun Hai arranged something messy, he would definitely advise, of course he hoped that this guy would also stay, and if Feng Bao learned the news and notified the Empress Dowager Li, he could naturally remove the stumbling block. But now it's a good thing to get rid of Sun Hai, a guy he hates at first sight, but it's ideal. The most important thing is that he has just blown the wind on the little emperor in advance, and in case something happens, Zhu Yijun must know how to shirk his responsibility. So, he did what he said, and soon took two Feng Bao's eyeliners to go back to the palace to get things under the pretext of sneaking away.

When he left, Zhu Yijun was relieved, but Sun Hai was also pleasantly surprised. Without the protectors of the two little emperors, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale, he immediately took the Wanli Emperor to the Yingxian Pavilion that he had carefully restoredβ€”a name that of course was also given by the Jiajing Emperor who built the palace here on a large scaleβ€”and after a moment of reverberation, he summoned his henchmen and ordered them to come up with all the means. After a while, he only heard the sound of silk and bamboo winding up like entering the bone marrow, and the Wanli Emperor, who was originally raising a glass and drinking, was unconsciously fascinated, and then saw two rows of sixteen charming women entering, light gauze and wide sleeves, which made his eyes widen.

After a while, Zhu Yijun heard a tactful singing: "Sprinkle genius, Angzang chivalrous bones." The romance of the eternal green lotus, ten thousand gold in hand, a day scattered like smoke. Xu's Qingxu admired, and he was a fairy with his husband. The official enshrines the poetry and wine, and looks proud of the supreme. Famous flowers invite colored pens, are slandered to the country, and the lake and sea float. In the face of the Yongwang rebellion, the resistance to the festival was encountered, and the heroes came forward to save the trouble. Lai Fenyang knocked on Chen Liao, the golden rooster pardoned, returned to his hometown and reinstated, and the couple was reunited. ”

But it's a full court.

Emperor Wanli has never heard of this kind of folk music on weekdays, at this time the chopsticks are stiff, and his face is extremely delicate, Sun Hai on the side saw this, and hurriedly whispered and laughed: "This is the new play of Tu Long Tu Changqing of the current science and technology Jinshi, the small one is discharged, although there are only a few in the head, but if the emperor can laugh, it will be worth it." ”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhu Yijun tried his best to get rid of the impact of the song and dance, and then he whispered: "Why don't I know that there are so many palace people in Xiyuan?" ”

"The emperor misconfessed, that is not a palace person." Sun Hai smiled, and when he saw Zhu Yijun frowning and looking at him, he hid his smugness and said in a low voice, "These are all servants." ”

Waiter! These are all clearly wearing women's clothes, where is the waiter?

Zhu Yijun almost dropped the cup, and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. You must know that the palace people selected by Empress Dowager Li for him are all older and rigid women, don't say a flattering look on weekdays, and don't even smile and say a good word. And the date of his wedding is set for next year, Empress Dowager Li remembers that several top imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital privately said that they want to be stable, coupled with the example of Emperor Longqing's untimely death, where will he be allowed to touch women. Therefore, under the command of his mother's ear, if these were really singers and dancers in front of him, he would not dare to do anything, but when he heard that it was the inner servant, although he frowned, his eyes gradually changed.

Sun Hai took in all the changes in the little emperor's expression, and took the opportunity to gesture to let the dancers step aside, which began to make people perform seriously, but this was a full set of costumes, and there was no longer the seductive meaning before. Knowing that Empress Dowager Li was strict, he didn't dare to persuade him to drink, so he only introduced the picturesque actor next to him, intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that Zhu Yijun's eyes always lingered on the other party. When the second husband and wife finished playing, he immediately beckoned the ayaguan who played the Qinglian monk Li Bai to come down, and hinted to him with his eyes to accompany him.

Zhu Yijun occasionally goes to court on weekdays, but the civil and military officials he sees are all awe-inspiring like a big guest, even if there are handsome, he often has a rigid face in front of him, where is it like the mausoleum official, although he is a man, he smiles smartly, and sometimes raises his eyebrows angrily, making him feel that the previous ten years have been completely in vain. After three rounds of drinking, he gradually only felt that his face was getting hotter and hotter, and he unconsciously stared at the wrist of Sai Xue's deception. Just when Sun Hai on the side was secretly surprised, he didn't expect Zhu Yijun to suddenly say something.

"That scene just now is really boring, too vulgar! I have four volumes of Ping Kouzhi at hand, and you can sing a part on the spot! ”

Although the words and sentences of a few instructors are naturally not as good as those in the literary world, the plot is interesting, and it must be good to make up a drama and sing!
