0961 jealousy
Although Emperor Wanli lay down, he couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed! So he began to enumerate what he had done during this time. He found that he basically accepted compliments during this time, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud!
Because in the past, only Zhang Jia and these palace people complimented him, but now the courtiers who usually don't like him praise him every day with different tricks! Even Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Xiangye, who were busy during this time, praised him when he occasionally gave him lessons!
Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli couldn't help but smile proudly! But at this moment he suddenly sat up from the bed, and he knew why he suddenly felt that he was not satisfied, that is, there was one less person to praise him! And this person is Liu Haojia!
His sudden movement startled the palace maid eunuch who was waiting next to him, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but was waved back by Emperor Wanli.
He sat there and carefully straightened out his thoughts, and found that he was really looking forward to Liu Haojia's praise for himself! It made him feel incredible!
So he fell back and began to straighten out his thoughts. He realized that the idea was not new. In the past, when he was almost floating in mid-air, he always felt some regrets, but he didn't know where the regrets were. Until today, he suddenly figured it out, that is, Liu Haojia was not around!
After figuring out this question, he felt even more puzzled! Why would he care so much about the opinion of a courtier?
After having this idea, the fluttering Emperor Wanli finally calmed down, he began to think about this problem carefully, and finally he discovered the reason! That is, he has always been jealous of Liu Haojia!
When he came to this conclusion, he couldn't help but laugh himself! It's a joke that an emperor is jealous of a courtier! But when he laughed, he found that he couldn't laugh. Because he found this reason to be true!
He began to carefully recall everything after his contact with Liu Haojia, and he was surprised to find one thing, that is, it seems that many things are decided by himself, but in fact, in the face of various situations, most of the time he is helpless!
Many solutions, and many things happen, are the result of Liu Haojia's promotion behind the scenes! Other words. His talent is far inferior to Liu Haojia! And the so-called final decision is just an illusion of his own comfort!
This discovery made Emperor Wanli a little angry, and even a little crazy! He refused to accept this fact at all! He always thinks that he is the son of heaven, the emperor of the world, everything in the world must be moved according to his command, and he is the only person who decides everything! But the answer he came up with was that he was more like a puppet!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became! The more he thought about it, the more jealous he became! He even had some questions that suddenly came to mind, that is, if Liu Haojia came to be the emperor, would he do better?
Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli shouted impatiently, "Zhang Jia, where did Zhang Jia go? Tell him to come here!"
The waiting eunuch agreed and ran out, and after a while, Zhang Jia trotted all the way in. Before he could speak, Emperor Wanli said loudly, "Zhang Jia, where did Liu Haojia go?"
Zhang Jia was stunned when he heard Emperor Wanli's question! Because in this day and age, it is very rude to call a person by name, and only when you are angry or hateful about that person, you will call them by name! When ordinary people call each other, they are called differently depending on the other person's official position, age, generation, scene, etc.
And when Zhang Jia was still thinking about where Liu Haojia had angered Emperor Wanli, his mouth had already said smoothly: "Long live Lord, Lord Liu has something important to rush to Shandong!" I told you about it a while ago!"
The distraught Emperor Wanli then remembered that Liu Haojia had indeed told him some time ago that he was going to Shandong to inspect the salt works. But Emperor Wanli didn't admit that it was because of his poor memory, and said directly, "When did this dog tell me, why don't I remember?"
Zhang Jia would definitely not refute Emperor Wanli's words, but he also knew that this was just Emperor Wanli venting, so he lowered his head and didn't speak. Sure enough, I only heard Emperor Wanli continue: "Then did he say when he would come back?"
Zhang Jia thought for a while and said, "It's about twenty days away."
When Emperor Wanli heard this, he immediately became deflated, waved his hand casually and said, "Okay, I know, you can go down!"
But just when Zhang Jia was about to leave inexplicably, he was called back by Emperor Wanli and said, "Zhang Jia, drive to Concubine Zheng Guifei."
Zhang Jia didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged for someone to escort Emperor Wanli to Concubine Zheng Guifei. And Zheng Guifei, who received the news, has already sorted out her makeup and gone out to greet her!
Although Zheng Guifei said that her appearance was quite gorgeous, it would take a little effort to say that she could dominate the crowd in the harem! But the relationship between her and Emperor Wanli is excellent! "Emperor Wanli even once said that even if you don't want to be this emperor, it's good to be an ordinary couple with your concubine!" This is about true love..
And if Concubine Zheng can get the favor of Emperor Wanli, she will naturally be able to observe words and feelings. As soon as she saw Emperor Wanli's expression, she knew that he had something on his mind, so after she pulled Emperor Wanli into the room, she sent everyone out, leaving only the two of them.
At this time, the two of them didn't pay attention to the etiquette in the palace, she directly helped Emperor Wanli to sit down on the bed, and then said with a smile: "Wasn't Lord Wansui in the study at this time in the past? Why did you come here so early?"
Emperor Wanli naturally didn't say what was on his mind, so he could only say, "It's not a big deal, it's just that it's boring to read the notebook, and I'll take a turn here with Concubine Ai!"
Concubine Zheng naturally knew that what he said was a lie, but she would not expose it, so she directly accompanied Emperor Wanli to talk. And what she said was nothing big, it was all trivial things in the palace, as if a wife was nagging her husband.
Emperor Wanli didn't respond much, only occasionally responded with two sentences. But his mood was so inexplicably better! As soon as he was in a good mood, he was willing to talk, and the two of them talked about trivial matters in the palace. Then he talked about things outside the palace, and slowly the topic finally turned to Emperor Wanli.
Slowly, Emperor Wanli babbled what he thought in his heart to Concubine Zheng Guifei. Emperor Wanli had never said this kind of thing to anyone, not even Zhang Jia! But he told Concubine Zheng about this matter today, which shows that he trusts her very much!
