Chapter 13 Fooling the Empress Dowager's Ministers
Empress Dowager Li therefore called out at this time: "Feng Bao! ”
Feng Bao bowed down and walked to the side of Empress Dowager Li: "The old slave is here." ”
Empress Dowager Li was still staring at Sun Hai, who was teaching Zhang Whale a lesson: "Who was beating people in front?" ”
Feng Bao raised his eyebrows with a smile and replied, "His name is Sun Hai, and he has been voted under Sun Gonggong's door." ”
Empress Dowager Li had a calm face: "Accept such a frivolous person by the emperor's side, it's not that you can pick it up if he is Sun Dexiu's person!" ”
"What Niangniang said is that the old slave will talk to him today, this Sun Hai also had to be strictly disciplined because he saw Zhang Whale coming for the first time, and he didn't understand some rules, and he was also afraid that Zhang Whale would affect the emperor."
Feng Bao spoke for Sun Hai at this time.
"No need!"
When Empress Dowager Li heard Feng Bao say this, she only replied with such a sentence.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Feng Bao in amazement, and immediately came over.
He knew that this Feng Bao deliberately wanted to show his fair and cautious image in front of Empress Dowager Li, and did not directly slander Sun Hai because he was his political opponent Sun Dexiu.
Zhu Yijun invited Empress Dowager Li to go to the palace today, in fact, he wanted Empress Dowager Li to see Sun Hai's scene and prepare for helping Zhang Whale to enter the celebrant supervisor, and he borrowed it so that Empress Dowager Li could see the words he practiced.
Empress Dowager Li was naturally willing to see if her son's calligraphy had improved, not to mention that Zhu Yijun took the initiative to invite, and she needed to eat after dinner, so she came happily.
It's just that as soon as Empress Dowager Li came, she saw the scene of Sun Haixun, and her face was a lot gloomy for a while.
Not long after Sun Hai trained Zhang Whale, he saw the scene of Empress Dowager Li bringing Emperor Zhu Yijun and Feng Bao here, and when he saw it, he knelt down and trembled.
Zhang Whale then knelt down, twitched his somewhat red and swollen face, and then raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhu Yijun.
"Emperor, where's your handwriting?"
As soon as Empress Dowager Li arrived in Zhu Yijun's study, she asked.
Zhu Yijun personally went to open a gold wooden box, took out twelve tooth tablets and a royal note with 36 characters, and said to the Empress Dowager Li: "Queen Mother, please see, this is the words written by the emperor!" ”
Empress Dowager Li looked over and saw that there were three words engraved on the clear and clean twelve tooth plates, and the content reflected in the thirty-six characters on the imperial note was exactly the same, and the thirty-six characters on the imperial note were also a group of three words, a total of twelve groups.
"Be cautious, be virtuous, pro-gentleman, be far away, reward and punish, be strict in and out, be cautious, eat and drink, rest assured, be in awe, accept advice, and save money."
Empress Dowager Li looked at these words and muttered, and was dumbfounded for a while.
Zhu Yijun knew that Empress Dowager Li and the Confucian bureaucrats of the foreign dynasty hoped that he would become a holy lord and benevolent monarch who met Confucian standards.
And Zhu Yijun, who was determined to hold hope for the time being, deliberately did something according to Confucian standards, so that Empress Dowager Li and the Confucian bureaucrats of foreign dynasties thought that he could become a holy lord and benevolent monarch in line with Confucian standards.
This is not difficult for Zhu Yijun.
Anyway, according to Confucian standards, it is nothing more than to be virtuous for politics, pro-virtuous ministers, and far villains, and frame their respective false and empty sage teachings into aphorisms and mottos.
And at this time, Zhu Yijun also continued: "Queen Mother, when the emperor practiced calligraphy, he thought of the virtue of the ancient holy lord and benevolence, and most of his actions could be summarized in twelve categories, so he simply wrote down these twelve things. And specially let the inner court Yousi make a tooth card, and engrave these twelve things on the tooth card, in order to show that the emperor wants to follow the will of the ancient holy lord Renjun. Now I invite the queen mother to see the words practiced by the emperor, and I also want to ask the queen mother to be a witness to prove the emperor's ambition! In addition, the emperor also wants to give these twelve tooth cards to the ministers and ministers, and in the future, if the emperor does not follow the above twelve things as the king, the ministers and ministers can hold this tooth card to admonish! I wonder what the queen mother thinks? ”
At this time, Empress Dowager Li saw that Zhu Yijun was so sensible and deliberately admonished herself to be a holy lord and benevolent monarch who met Confucian standards, and she was shocked and laughed: "Emperor, you are very good at doing this, I am very relieved!" ”
Not long after, Feng Bao arranged for the eunuch to send the tooth card to Zhang Juzheng and other ministers Jiuqing.
Zhang Juzheng and other ministers and ministers were quite praised, saying that the Son of Heaven could pursue these twelve things for life, and also expressed his willingness to act in accordance with the instructions.
Of course, the final interpretation of whether to listen or not to listen is in Zhu Yijun's hands.
However, Zhu Yijun's move still caused a great shock among the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Tiaoyang even whispered to Zhang Juzheng again: "Uncle, the Son of Heaven is so self-disciplined, and he is willing to be admonished by the courtiers, obviously attaches great importance to Confucianism and Taoism, and he is the Holy Son of Heaven!" Feng Baoyi got rid of it! ”
Zhang Juzheng still didn't say anything.
Lu Tiaoyang, who had never seen anger, couldn't help but arch his hand and shook it heavily: "Yuanfu! ”
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Lu Tiaoyang: "Don't mention Feng Bao's matter, does the prince really think that the Son of Heaven has the heart to govern and the thirst to seek talent, so he can be the Son of Heaven?" ”
"What do you mean?"
Lu Tiaoyang asked.
Zhang Juzheng said: "Clearly show the heart of learning and trying to govern and make the high-level ministers think that they have the quality of a holy monarch, in order to protect themselves and secretly accumulate the edge, and hide the heart of the eunuch, they are all Xiaozhiye!" It can only show that His Majesty is small and wise, but if he really wants to become a big weapon, he should know that he can rule the world without removing one power. The ministers and ministers are the servants of His Majesty, not the servants of His Majesty's house, how can they be driven by themselves, without asking whether this move is conducive to the life of the monarch's father? ”
Lu Tiaoyang opened his mouth to argue, but in the end he only bowed down: "What Uncle said is extremely true!" ”
Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, turned around and wrote a congratulatory note for Zhu Yijun to write twelve things to admonish his behavior.
"The emperor forgives the slave and maid for saying a lot, with Mr. Yuanfu Zhang here, it is difficult for the foreign courtiers to completely turn their faces with Feng Bao, and then help His Majesty to go here!"
This night, Zhang Whale took advantage of Sun Hai's absence and took the opportunity to sneak in front of Zhu Yijun and talk about it.
Zhu Yijun, who was standing on a chair and wanted to get a history book on the top of the bookshelf partition to read at night, stretched out his hands at the same time, but did not respond to Zhang Whale, just because he basically couldn't get the history book he wanted on tiptoe, but directly turned back to Zhang Whale and said: "Bring the set of "Four Books Collection Notes" on my case!" ”
Zhang Whale was also busy hugging the "Notes on the Four Books": "Why don't you let the slave take it for the emperor." ”
"Okay, you stand right on top of this."
Zhu Yijun got out of the chair first, then put the "Notes on the Four Books" on the chair, and instructed Zhang Jing to get up.
Zhang Whale answered, stepped on the "Notes on the Four Books" and the chair, and took down the history books that Zhu Yijun wanted to read for him.
After Zhu Yijun took it, he asked Zhang Whale: "How is your face?" ”
"It's a little swollen."
Zhang Whale replied with a smile.
Zhu Yijun said: "Go down and rest, Sun Hai should be on duty tonight." ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Whale also retreated.
And Zhu Yijun looks at the history books here.
There is no way, there are too few entertainment methods at night in this era, and he, the emperor, is still disciplined by his strict mother, and he can't even experience many entertainment methods in this era, so he can only read books to pass the time, compared to Confucian classic books, among the books he can read, only history books are more interesting.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun can only choose to pass the time by reading history books.
It's just that after reading the history books of about a stick of incense, Zhu Yijun found that Sun Hai has always been in the future.
Zhu Yijun was puzzled loudly, so he called: "Someone! ”
After a while, a eunuch fell into the palace: "The emperor, please command." ”
"Where's Sun Hai?"
The eunuch replied: "Grandpa Sun has gone to the celebrant eunuch!" ”
