Chapter 17: Currying Favor with the Emperor

Sun Hai only kowtowed and said: "Slaves and maids are guarding and stealing, bribing power, and they are willing to be punished!" ”

Empress Dowager Li sneered, looked at Sun Hai and said, "There is really what kind of doorman, what kind of master." ”

"When I saw you beating and scolding other chamberlains, I couldn't get used to your frivolous appearance! It's just that I didn't have a seizure at the time. ”

"But I didn't expect you to cause even more trouble!"

"Still, you have a responsibility."

"That's so."

Empress Dowager Li said and looked at Zhu Yijun at this moment: "Jun'er, you are the emperor, you can deal with it." ”

On the surface, Empress Dowager Li will not make up her mind directly, in order to avoid some people saying that she is interfering in the politics of the harem, and will only express her position after the emperor disposes of it.

Zhu Yijun also took the opportunity to say: "Although Sun Dexiu is good at admiring holy relics, he should be beheaded according to the law!" ”

"But if you don't know it, and in the end it is an old slave who has served your father, you can forgive him for the crime of disrespect."

"But he actually asked for bribes from the eunuchs, he was too greedy for money, and it was not suitable to stay in the celebrant eunuch, and he should be expelled from the palace, and he was not able to control people effectively, and he spoke wildly, which is really unforgivable, so it is better to avoid the death penalty and directly punish him to Nanjing as a pure army."

Zhu Yijun then said: "As for Sun Hai, he was forced to pay bribes, and he didn't know that this jade was rewarded by the queen mother. ”

Empress Dowager Li didn't say anything directly after hearing this, but only looked at Feng Bao: "Feng Bao, you are the minister who took care of the last emperor's orders, tell me, how did your emperor deal with it like this?" ”

Sun Dexiu also looked at Feng Bao at this time.

Feng Bao said: "Hui Niangniang, the emperor handled it very properly, it was both clear and fair, and there was forgiveness in it." ”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li nodded: "You are not wrong!" ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Baodao: "Big companion, let's write an edict." ”

"Yes!"

Feng Bao responded.

At this time, Sun Dexiu suddenly shouted: "Mother! It is true that the old slave is greedy for money and forgets the system, but the master of ceremonies is greedy for money and does not take the emperor in his eyes is not the only old slave! ”

"He, Feng Bao, also looks down on the emperor!"

"He colluded with foreign ministers behind the emperor's back, interfered with the appointment of foreign ministers, and also asked for bribes!"

"It's just that because he is the master of ceremonies, the eunuch is also the commander of the East Factory, no one dares to say it!"

Sun Dexiu looked at Zhu Yijun again as he spoke: "Emperor Mingjian!" The old slave has hated you, and you have ended up like this, and there is nothing to say. ”

"But the first one who really deceived you, lied to you, and didn't take you into his eyes was him, Feng Bao!"

"Otherwise, he would not rely on the favor of the first emperor to ask for power for himself, not to mention the celebrant and supervisor, but also to supervise the Dongchang, so that he covered the sky with one hand, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, no one dared to say that he was not at all, and even the official did not dare to impeach him!"

Sun Dexiu suddenly pointed at Feng Bao, naturally because he had already guessed Zhu Yijun's intentions, and deliberately fired at Feng Bao, in an attempt to gain Zhu Yijun's favor and prepare for a comeback or a good end in the future.

After all, although Feng Bao has great power, in fact, it is the emperor who can really kill him.

What's more, he has now seen the emperor's methods, and realized that the emperor is not as benevolent and deceitful as Sun Hai said, and he is clearly a ruthless character of the perineum like Sejong, so he doesn't dare to despise Zhu Yijun anymore.

Feng Bao also didn't dare to despise Zhu Yijun anymore, so as not to hate Zhu Yijun when he grew up in the future, he also knelt down and proved his innocence:

"The emperor is graceful! The old slave never dared to have the intention of arbitrarily exercising his power and being autocratic, and now since Gonggong Sun said so, it happened that Niangniang was also there, and asked the emperor to allow the old slave to resign from the post of Admiral Dongchang to prove the old slave's innocence! ”

Zhu Yijun already knew from Zhang Whale that Feng Bao had actually planned to resign from the post of Admiral Dongchang a long time ago, and took retreat as a strategy to prevent him, an obviously precocious emperor, from being suspicious of him, and only secretly controlling the factory guards.

Because Feng Bao had already determined that after he resigned from the post of Admiral Dongchang, he could only be Admiral Zhang Hong Dongchang.

However, Zhang Hong is only obeyed by Feng Bao's orders, so for Feng Bao, he can still indirectly control the East Factory through Zhang Hong.

Now he has resigned from the post of Admiral Dongchang, but on the surface, he just looks like he will not abuse power.

Of course, Feng Bao didn't know that Zhang Whale had secretly voted for Emperor Zhu Yijun, so he didn't know that Zhu Yijun already knew his true purpose.

The ultimate goal is to let Feng Bao, the Empress Dowager Li's minions, step down, Zhu Yijun didn't want Feng Bao to know, so he pretended to be ignorant and hurriedly said:

"Ome, get up! Naturally, I and the Queen Mother believe in you! ”

Then, Zhu Yijun said: "However, since you took the initiative to resign from the post of Governor of Dongchang, I also promised you, so as not to let more people think that you are in power because you are in charge of the master of ceremonies and the commander of Dongchang, and I don't know, the fundamental reason for this is actually that the first emperor and I only believe in you as a great companion." But in this case, who will take over the post of Admiral Dongchang will be proposed by you. ”

When Feng Bao heard Zhu Yijun say this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that he had just adopted Zhang Jing's suggestion and took the initiative to resign from the post of Governor Dongchang, which made the emperor less suspicious, so that he would be recommended, so he said:

"Now among the eunuchs who are the celebrant and the eunuch, it can only be Zhang Hong and Zhang Gonggong to supervise the East Factory, and Zhang Gonggong has always been kind and cautious, and in the humble opinion of the old slave, he is suitable for the commander of the East Factory."

"Zhang Hong is very good!"

The most popular eunuch of Empress Dowager Li, except for Feng Bao, is Zhang Hong.

Feng Bao naturally threw himself under her very early, and even inquired about Emperor Longqing's situation for her;

And Zhang Hong himself has always been sophisticated, cautious and good at making friends with nobles in the palace, which left a good impression on Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen.

Of course, even Feng Bao himself has a good impression of Zhang Hong.

and Zhu Yijun himself, he also thinks Zhang Hong is good.

Although Zhang Hongmingzhe protected his life a little, he did not interfere with his exercise of power as an emperor, and he knew his position very well.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yijun only took him to the Wenhua Hall to lecture once, he felt that Zhang Hong was more suitable to stay by his side than Feng Bao to do things.

The conversation turned back.

Because of this, Empress Dowager Li also had one more sentence at this time, saying that Zhang Hong was very good.

Zhu Yijun also took the opportunity to say: "Since the queen mother and the eldest companion both said so, let Zhang Hong replace the eldest companion to supervise the East Factory." ”

Sun Dexiu pretended to smile bitterly at this time, but he didn't say anything more, and was only taken down with Sun Hai.

Feng Bao said after this: "Sun Dexiu is going to Nanjing, and next, the celebrant will be even more short of people. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said: "Then the eldest companion thinks it is appropriate to let someone become the master of ceremonies as the eunuch of Bingbi?" ”

At this time, Zhang Whale couldn't help but swallow.

In front of the Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Yijun deliberately showed that he trusted Feng Bao very much and only let Feng Bao make ideas, rather than acting arbitrarily.

Feng Bao also hurriedly replied here: "Back to the emperor, the old slave thinks that it is more appropriate to let Zhang Whale become the eunuch of Bingbi, he is from the inner study hall, and he was trained by Zhang Hong, and his temperament is calm, not as impatient as Sun Hai." ”

Empress Dowager Li nodded and asked Zhu Yijun: "Emperor, what do you think?" ”

"Just him! Big companion has a good eye, these days, Zhang Whale is really good in the Qianqing Palace, I asked him some scriptures, he can analyze it very well, let me get a lot of praise in front of Mr. Yuanfu Zhang, and also write a good hand! ”

Zhu Yijun did not hesitate to appreciate.

Empress Dowager Li laughed: "It's good to be knowledgeable!" Just don't mess around with the emperor! ”

At this time, Zhang Whale had already walked over and thanked Zhu Yijun prostrately.

Zhu Yijun just smiled after letting Zhang Whale flat.

After he found himself crossing into the Wanli Emperor and showing earlier wisdom than the Wanli Emperor in history, the first person to benefit from this would be Zhang Whale.

This eunuch who should have had the opportunity to enter the eunuch of Bingbi after Wanli's marriage because Wanli became more and more dissatisfied with Feng Bao, actually took this opportunity to enter the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch in advance and became the eunuch of Bingbi.

But at this time, Feng Bao didn't think so.
