Chapter 119: Harem New Year
Although Zhu Yijun did not make a big deal about it, he even went directly to the point of deposing or punishing Zhang Juzheng.
However, the eunuch of the first ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch of the pen was given to death, the governor and the governor were abandoned to the city, and even the entire officials of the Wuxuan Division were put to death.
This kind of intensity is still very large in the Ming Dynasty.
Especially after Hongwu and Yongle.
This is also related to the intensity of reform in the early years of Wanli, which was greater than in the original history.
Whether it is the test method or the Qingzhang field, the intensity is greater than the historical test method and the Qingzhang field.
Because the test method is implemented in accordance with Hai Rui's requirements.
And Qingzhang Tianmu is, at the beginning, it was the most difficult to clear the zhang, and in history, because of the obstruction of the powerful gentry and failed to complete the completion of the north and south Zhili to clear the zhang.
In addition, several seaports for trade have been added.
So it makes the struggle more intense.
Fortunately, because in this life, Emperor Zhu Yijun was more active than in the original history to cooperate and even more willing to support Zhang Juzheng to implement reforms, and because there was no Feng Bao's constraint on Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun could directly unite with Zhang Juzheng, so that this more radical reform could be carried out smoothly.
In addition, he has not carried out the reform of the inner court, even if the concubine selection system, because considering that a concubine position means that several eunuchs and palace maids have to become stewards and eunuchs and stewards because of the establishment of a concubine position and have not changed, which makes the outer court in the vigorous reform, the inner court did not give birth to much trouble, at most it is just the subordinate people fighting for power and profit, and this also ensures that the reform of the outer court can still be carried out smoothly even if it is intense.
Even if there was an incident in which Empress Dowager Li personally came forward to obstruct Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng to suppress the opponents with an iron fist, it did not affect the entire great cause of Wanli reform.
Of course, as Zhang Juzheng himself said before, he was willing to cooperate with the emperor to carry out more radical reforms, and then reuse Zhao Zhenji and Hai Rui, who he did not intend to use, because he knew that Zhu Yijun advocated more radical reforms, and he disliked that his restructuring was too moderate, and he intended to simply implement all the radical reforms that Zhu Yijun wanted to do before Zhu Yijun took power.
In this way, in the future, Zhu Yijun can only be the son of benevolence and virtue, and there is nothing to change.
In a monarchical country, the mind of the old minister will often change due to the different attitudes of the Son of Heaven.
Regardless of whether Zhang Juzheng's idea is wishful thinking or not.
At least, the current Ming Wanli Dynasty is indeed carrying out reforms in a more radical way.
Therefore, the number of times people land on the ground is more.
But it also means a more radical reform.
However, after this clean-up, the forces that opposed the reform had to temporarily silence.
And in the Zhang Party, those hypocrites who have mixed into the reform team have also had to restrain a little.
The next Ming Dynasty situation was calm again.
Summer goes and autumn comes.
It's winter again.
In the blink of an eye, the sixth year of Wanli has also reached the end of the year.
Because since the implementation of the examination law in the Ming Dynasty, all officials have worked much harder than before.
In particular, after the implementation of the new policies such as the Qingzhang Tianmu policy, the workload of the bureaucrats was further increased.
In addition, Zhu Yijun took into account that after the financial improvement in the past few years, the official salary has been paid in full, and many outstanding candidates and adults have also received rich rewards.
Therefore, in order to let the silver sent down to the common people's homes through consumption, and also collect a part of it through tax collection, Zhu Yijun also ordered that in addition to special posts that require shifts, all officials in Beijing will rest for ten days, and those who have to be on duty will also be rewarded.
Zhang Juzheng did not object, because this was what he was happy to see, that is, the emperor could only be gracious to hundreds of officials, and he was benevolent.
Zhu Yijun's lectures and scriptures were also temporarily suspended.
As a result, he, the emperor, had a lot more leisure time in a day.
And on the day of the Spring Festival in the seventh year of Wanli.
It just so happened that it snowed for a day last night, so the entire Forbidden City was like being shrouded in the glass world that morning.
Zhu Yijun will also be able to have more free time to stay with his harem concubines and princesses who temporarily live in the palace and did not choose to move to Changchun Nunnery with the queen mother of the two palaces.
With the addition of the queen, there are already fifty concubines in Zhu Yijun's harem.
This is the number of emperor's concubines stipulated by the Ming harem system.
The conversation turned back.
Therefore, when these concubines were preparing for the New Year, they were ready to wait for Zhu Yijun, the emperor and empress, to come back from Changchun Nunnery to greet each other for the festival, and they all gathered in Kunning Palace, they were a large group of girls from Yingying Yanyan.
Among them, Concubine Liu Zhao took advantage of the fact that the emperor and queen did not come, and sat on the collapse by the window, smiling lightly while inserting plum into the Ruyao bottle.
And Yang Yifei and Princess Ryan took off their embroidered shoes, sat cross-legged on the collapse, playing the game of solving the nine chains, and for a while, they all frowned and pouted because they couldn't untie it for a long time.
The little princess of Yanqing took advantage of the fact that the two of them were concentrating on solving the nine links, and quietly held the embroidered shoes of the two in their hands, and then tiptoed out, hiding the embroidered shoes of the two outside the door curtain, causing the other concubines to giggle when they saw it.
Because the queen has just entered the palace, she is still at an innocent age;
And Emperor Zhu Yijun was too shallow in the influence of etiquette because he came from later generations, and he did not suppress his nature of his young concubines and sisters too much;
plus the queen mother of the two palaces, and they all moved out;
Therefore, the concubines and princesses in the early years of Wanli are all living honestly.
The only drawback is that you can't go to the world outside the palace walls.
"Also, what's interesting about your hometown?"
Even Princess Yongning, who was already in the prime of her cardamom years, did not look at the snow outside quietly, just waiting for the emperor and queen to return, but pulled a few of Zhu Yijun's concubines to sit around the fireplace, and urged these concubines to tell them the customs and interesting stories of their respective hometowns.
These concubines who have just entered the palace are also willing to talk about it, and they don't feel annoyed by it, especially during this New Year's festival.
Accidentally, the tea that the palace maid boiled on the stove was gone.
And at this moment, the news came from outside that the eunuch informed Zhu Yijun and the queen Du Shi that they had returned.
When they heard this, they all stood up.
Only Concubine Yang Yi and Princess Ruian patrolled around in a panic: "Ah! Where did our shoes go? ”
"Brother and sister-in-law are back!"
Princess Yongning ran out directly, wearing a red coat, running on the white snow, showing her teeth and exhaling hot air.
"Ahh
And accidentally, Princess Yongning fell to the ground and fell into slush splashes.
The emperor and queen hurriedly came over to help Yongning first: "It's okay." ”
"It's okay, it's just that your butt hurts!"
Yongning'e said with a slight frown.
Queen Du couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile at Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun patted Yongning's shoulder and walked towards the hall.
"I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen the Empress!"
Zhu Yijun's concubines first saluted Zhu Yijun and Du Shi.
"Excuse me!"
When Zhu Yijun glanced at his concubines who were like winter boudoirs, he was stunned to see that although Yang Yifei was standing in the middle of the concubines, she was not wearing shoes, so she couldn't help asking: "Concubine Yi, where are your shoes?" ”
Concubine Yang Yifei, who was also still childish, lowered her head shyly, her pretty face was slightly red, and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, I can't find it!" ”
"Brother Huang! Mine can't be found either. ”
Little Princess Ryan also came over at this time, and said to Zhu Yijun angrily.
The little princess of Yanqing couldn't help but laugh, and it didn't take long for her to take it out.
"So you are the ghost!"
Seeing this, Ryan gritted his teeth, and raised his hand to hit Yanqing.
Yanqing hurriedly hid behind Zhu Yijun, Ruian chased after him, and Yanqing ran out of the hall, and Ruian chased out, but when he chased outside the hall, he had to stop first, let the palace maid who served her put shoes on her, and shouted:
"Zhu Yaoji, don't run! If you fall like your sister, Amitabha, that's the retribution of this world! ”
"It's cold outside!"
Du Shi also shouted at Yanqing with concern at this time.
