In any case, King Yu has lived for more than 20 years, and finally relied on his son to brush up on his father's sense of existence, and he can be regarded as having a little hope.

Speaking of his son, since Zhu Yijun was taken into the palace, King Yu and the princess have never seen him again.

I don't know if my son is doing well in the palace, whether he is used to it, whether he misses his father and mother.

King Yu thought too much, and Zhu Yijun just thought about it in the first few days after entering the palace. But I didn't think about him, I thought about the princess and the nurse.

After that stage of separation anxiety, now the little guy eats and plays, and there are more than 20 eunuchs around him, all of whom are his playmates, and he can often go to the emperor's grandfather to eat and drink, peek at the ministers of the court and the central government quarrel, not to mention how happy.

Although he was not able to follow his wishes, the drought that affected the three provinces in the past few days was alleviated, which eased Emperor Jiajing's mood a lot.

The next day, he called his little grandson to accompany him.

The little one plays with his toys by himself and never mentions the rain again.

Emperor Jiajing looked at him for a while, and suddenly said, "Jun'er, you told the imperial grandfather, what did you dream about the night before yesterday?" ”

Zhu Yijun blurted out without thinking about it: "It's raining." ”

Emperor Jiajing asked again: "What about yesterday, did you dream yesterday?" ”

Zhu Yijun nodded: "It's a dream." ”

"Tell Grandpa Huang, what did you dream about?"

Zhu Yijun tilted his head and recalled: "I dreamed of a lot of things. ”

"A lot of stuff?"

"Yes!" The little guy counted him with his fingers, "I dreamed of mung bean cakes, water chestnut cakes, lotus cakes, watermelons, grapes, duck legs, mutton bones, ......"

"Hahaha!" Emperor Jiajing touched his stomach, "You're hungry." ”

The little guy also giggled: "I want to eat." ”

Emperor Jiajing pinched his little arms and calves, and lifted it up with both hands under his armpits: "It's heavy again, still eating?" ”

Zhu Yijun raised his hand and gestured above his head: "Grow tall and tall." ”

"Let the imperial grandfather see," Emperor Jiajing touched his head, "it's grown taller." ”

Now is not the time to have a meal or a snack, even if the little guy said he wanted to eat, Emperor Jiajing did not let people pass on the meal, but diverted his attention and began to teach him to recite the "Tao Te Ching": "Kindness is like water." Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. ”

"Dwelling in a good place, being kind in heart, being kind and benevolent, being kind in words and faith, good in government, good in doing things, and good in time. The husband is indisputable, so there is no especially. ”

“……”

Zhu Yijun just memorized it word by word, but he didn't understand the meaning. Emperor Jiajing didn't force it, the child was too young and not yet enlightened, he could memorize it word for word within three times, which made the imperial grandfather happy.

"Good is like water. Water is good for all things and is not ......"

Zhu Yijun memorized the beginning, and a eunuch came outside to report: "University scholar Li Shi is here." ”

Li Shi came to ask Emperor Jiajing for instructions on disaster relief. Over the years, natural disasters of all sizes have continued throughout the country, and Emperor Jiajing asked: "Is Taicang's grain reserves enough?" ”

Li Shi replied: "Taicang has sufficient grain reserves, enough for decades, all of which have been accumulated after His Majesty issued an edict to cut redundant personnel. ”

Emperor Jiajing was quite emotional after hearing this, and remembered the people and things of a long time ago. After a while, he said: "This is the credit of Yang Tinghe back then." ”

He suddenly mentioned Yang Tinghe, but Li Shi didn't know how to answer. It took another moment for him to retreat.

Zhu Yijun obediently sat next to him and played with himself, very quietly, and did not disturb the imperial grandfather at all.

He thought that after Li Shi left, the imperial grandfather would continue to ask him to recite the Tao Te Ching, but Emperor Jiajing sat there thoughtfully.

Zhu Yijun was very keen, and he was fine when Li Shi came in just now, but it was because Li Shi mentioned Yang Tinghe that he began to wander.

Zhu Yijun asked: "Who is Yang Tinghe?" ”

The child's words are unscrupulous, and the children can ask directly if they have any questions. Huang Jin next to him was nervous for him, and secretly looked at Emperor Jiajing's face.

There is no way, no one can figure out the mind of their emperor. Even his favorite little emperor and grandson couldn't say anything wrong and angered the emperor.

Emperor Jiajing said with a straight face: "He is a person who always opposes your imperial grandfather." ”

Zhu Yijun didn't understand anything, and when he heard that someone was against the emperor's grandfather, he clenched his fists: "Spank him!" ”

"Hahaha!" Emperor Jiajing was suddenly amused by his little grandson's words again, "I didn't beat his ass, I beat his son's ass." ”

"Who is his son?"

"Yang Shen."

This is the first time Zhu Yijun has heard about Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen's father and son, and he doesn't know their deeds, but his super memory makes him remember these two names in his heart.

The summer is hot and long, and Zhu Yijun can't always stay in the house. The child is curious, and Xiyuan is so big, he always wants to look around.

On this day, Emperor Jiajing had nothing to do and took him to Shuiyun Pavilion to cool off.

Shuiyun Pavilion is a pavilion located on the east side of Taiye Pond, in the pavilion to look at the surrounding beauty, the field of vision is vast, the clouds, distant mountains and pavilions and pavilions reflect each other in the distance.

When the weather is clear, the sun is rippling and rippling, clear and lovely, so it is named "too liquid clear wave".

The gentle breeze on the surface of the pool comes slowly, with the faint fragrance of lotus flowers, refreshing people's hearts.

Zhu Yijun came to Shuiyunxie for the first time, and was excited to take a look here, look there, pick up the stone, and lean out half of his body to see the koi in the water: "Small fish, there are small fish!" ”

The weather was a bit hot, and the koi didn't give face, and they all sank to the bottom.

The little guy pouted unhappily: "The little fish is hiding." ”

Huang Jin asked people to take bait and sprinkle it on the water little by little, leading a few koi fish to compete for food.

"I want it! I'm going to! Zhu Yijun jumped to reach the bait in Huang Jin's hand.

Huang Jin bent down and handed him the bait: "Little master, hold it firm." ”

The little guy held the bait and looked at it curiously. Leng Bu lowered his head and stuck out his little tongue.

"Little master, I can't help it!"

Huang Jin hurriedly stopped him, but after all, he was old, and his reaction was not as fast as Zhu Yijun's little guy. I watched him lick a big mouthful of bait and smack his lips, as if savoring: "This is a steamed bun." ”

Huang Jin praised him: "The little master is very smart, this is indeed the crumbs of steamed buns." ”

Zhu Yijun returned to the edge of the pool, leaned out half of his body to look, and didn't see a single fish. Remembering that Huang Jin used bait to lure out the koi fish just now, the little guy also followed his example and sprinkled a little bait. There were some bubbles on the surface of the water, and a few small fish came out to feed.

This did not satisfy Zhu Yijun, Xiao Tuanzi glanced at the bait, then at the surface of the water, raised his little hand, and sprinkled all the steamed bun dregs into the water.

After a moment of tranquility, schools of fish flocked to the surface, black, white, red, yellow, and flowering...... Colorful huddled together, in a radial shape around the food competition, some fish, even jumped out of the water, the scene is very lively.

The little guy was happy now, jumping and jumping: "Little fish, so many little fish!" ”

He went to pull Huang Jin's clothes again, and pointed to the largest one in the middle: "I want that." ”

Huang Jin asked, "The little master wants to take it back and raise it?" ”

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Keep it on a plate." ”

Huang Jin was puzzled: "It looks better on a plate?" ”

The little guy swallowed: "It's more delicious." ”

Emperor Jiajing laughed: "Hahahaha, he's greedy again." ”

He sat in the pavilion and drank tea, watching his little grandson make a fuss, not only did he think he was noisy, but he thought that it complemented the beautiful scenery of Taiye Pond.

He asked the eunuch to pick a lotus pod, Zhu Yijun had never seen this thing, and he studied it for a while before he peeled out a lotus seed with the assistance of Huang Jin.

Xiao Tuanzi held up the fresh lotus seeds and looked at them, and asked, "Is this delicious?" ”

Emperor Jiajing teased him seriously: "The longan lotus seed soup you eat on weekdays, the lotus seeds in it are exactly this." ”

Zhu Yijun has eaten longan lotus seed soup, and the lotus seed powder in it is glutinous, because of the addition of rock sugar, there is also a sweetness, he likes it very much.

Hearing that it was delicious, the little guy put the lotus seeds in his mouth. When I first put it in, there was an innocent smile at the corners of my eyebrows and eyes, and as I chewed, my brows wrinkled: "It's so bitter, Grandpa Huang is a liar." ”

His wrinkled expression like a bun was really amused, and Emperor Jiajing laughed: "I didn't lie to you. ”

Huang Jin served a bowl of plum tea, and the little guy buried his head in the tea bowl, poured himself a few big sips, drank too quickly, and choked.

"Slow down." Emperor Jiajing patted him on the back and gave him relief, "The lotus heart is bitter and cold, clear the heart and calm the nerves, eat some, it will be good for you." ”

Zhu Yijun shook his head: "I don't suffer hardship." ”

"What do you eat without hardship?"

"Eat meat."

“……”

Zhu Yijun likes Shui Yunxie very much, and he sweated profusely around the pavilion, saying that he would like to come tomorrow.

I just played for a few days in a row, and the summer quietly left.

After the beginning of autumn, it rained several times in Beijing, and the weather gradually cooled down.

Zhu Yijun, a small group, also grew up in carefree days. His smart, well-behaved, and lively personality also became more and more pleasing to Emperor Jiajing.

After all, the child is less than two years old, lives in Yuxi Palace, and lives like the emperor, and is spoiled to the extreme.

So, Emperor Jiajing's overflowing favor for his little grandson was given to King Yu - after the last time, he handed over the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice to him.

Forced by the growth environment, Yuwang has been a cautious character since he was a child. The errand given to him by his father, he will definitely do his duty well.

He knew very well that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, including his Yuwang Mansion, waiting for him to make a mistake. Therefore, he acted with extreme caution and tried to make sure that every aspect was perfect.

In the autumn, the flood of the Yellow River swelled again, and there was another breach in the Majiaqiao area, and some of the old rivers that had not been dredged for a long time were silted up, and some of the newly opened rivers were washed away.

At the beginning, when Zhu Heng proposed to build a new river, there was a strong opposition in the DPRK and China. More than 100 kilometers from Nanyang to Jingshan, the project is huge, requiring a lot of manpower and financial resources.

From a practical point of view, Pan Jitao's plan to dredge the old river is more practical and cost-effective.

Now that the Yellow River has broken its embankment again, Zheng Xin immediately wrote to Emperor Jiajing in the matter, impeaching Zhu Heng for his great merit and abusing the people to invite merit. demanded an immediate stoppage and the removal of Zhu Heng.

Emperor Jiajing did not give any instructions, and called the courtiers over to understand the situation.

Unexpectedly, last time, Yan Shifan supported Zhu Heng, and Xu Jie recommended Pan Jitao's plan even more.

On the contrary this time, Yan Shifan excitedly said that Zhu Heng had betrayed the trust of the emperor and the imperial court in him, and was mainly responsible for the Yellow River's re-break, so he was immediately dismissed and imprisoned.

Xu Jie believes that the matter has come to this point, the new river has been built, the court and the people are waiting for the recovery of Caoyun, and Zhu Heng must not be removed from his post, and now this matter can only be continued by him.

In the main hall, the two sides of different opinions fought again, and Emperor Jiajing did not speak, but sat there listening to their quarrels, watching coldly.

He is an autocratic monarch who only allows himself to keep his courtiers firmly in the palm of his hand, and will never let his ministers dictate his thoughts and judgments.

In the end, Emperor Jiajing did not give a final decision, let them go down and discuss again, don't just quarrel, and come up with a solution.

The notes about Zhu Heng and the Yellow River breaking were presented one after another, and Emperor Jiajing sat at the table, most of them were cursory, and threw them aside, a small part of which allowed him to read them patiently.

The ministers had their own thoughts and fought in secret, and Emperor Jiajing saw it clearly. He said that they should discuss it again, and as soon as he turned around, he sent Jinyiwei to Nanzhili to investigate the matter.

If Zhu Heng really has a great achievement, he abuses the people and invites merit, and he will take it on the spot.

Things are not complicated, although the imperial court adopted Zhu Heng's opinion a few months ago and built a new river, but the progress of things is very slow, and the river of one hundred and thirty miles has been repaired for less than thirty miles. The water level of the Yellow River has skyrocketed, and it is also related to the fact that the Yellow River has broken again.

Because the river is blocked, the transportation is cut off, the grain cannot be transferred, and the people along the way are miserable. From a long-term perspective, Zhu Heng's decision to build a new river channel is not a problem.

The question is, where did the silver taels allocated by the imperial court for the new river go to go?

This is a matter for the Ministry of Industry, which has been controlled by Yan Song and his son for a long time.

Emperor Jiajing summoned Yan Song and Yan Shifan and asked him what was going on. The father and son talked about it, saying that they were going to build roads in the Yunnan-Guizhou area.

Why build the road, because a few years ago the three major halls and the Xiyuan Wanshou Palace have suffered fires, now the three major halls have been repaired, and the wood has been used up, if you want to continue to repair the Wanshou Palace, you need to harvest wood from the Yunnan-Guizhou area to rebuild the palace, how can the wood be transported without building the road.

Wanshou Palace was Emperor Jiajing's previous dormitory in Xiyuan, and they were also thinking about the emperor, which sounded reasonable.

Although Emperor Jiajing no longer held Yan Song's father and son accountable, he was still dissatisfied with this matter in his heart, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to give Zhu Heng the silver taels of the newly repaired river as soon as possible.

Zhu Heng had also repaired the place where the Yellow River breached, and Emperor Jiajing ignored Zheng Xin, who had impeached him, and let him continue to manage the river.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, according to the custom, the emperor should go up to the Wansui Mountain to climb the heights and look far away in order to live forever.

Emperor Jiajing took Zhu Yijun to the hundred fruit orchards at the foot of Wansui Mountain, where fruit trees were planted, and now it is the harvest season, and the trees are full of fruits.

Zhu Yijun saw a persimmon tree from a distance, which was full of red fruits, and the little guy couldn't take a step when he walked under the tree. Holding the trunk of the tree, he looked up with a blank eye.

The little gluttonous cat even opened his mouth, as if expecting the persimmon to fall on its own and fall into his mouth.

Emperor Jiajing raised his chin and ordered, "Let someone pick some for him." ”

The persimmons picked by the eunuchs were all ripe, big and red, soft when pinched, carefully wiped clean, and then handed to Zhu Yijun: "Little master taste, this is called persimmon Ruyi." ”

Zhu Yijun picked the biggest one, he had to hold it with both hands, opened his mouth wide, and the eunuchs surrounding him instinctively wanted to take a step back, for fear that the juice would splash after he took a bite.

However, the little guy didn't eat it, holding the persimmon, turned around and ran to Emperor Jiajing, and raised his hand high: "Grandpa Huang, persimmon Ruyi." ”

Even if it is an auspicious word that is now learned, coming out of the mouth of this little guy, it can make Emperor Jiajing happy.

There is a temple built by the mountain in the northeast of the park, which is called the Guande Palace. Climb to the second floor and look out against the railing, you can see the cranes and deer growing at the foot of Banzai Mountain, which means longevity.

Zhu Yijun was too short, and he tried hard to stand on tiptoe, but he couldn't see anything.

Emperor Jiajing picked him up, pointed to an open space and asked, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

Zhu Yijun shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"In the past, the princes and grandsons rode horses and shot arrows in the open field, and the emperor went up to the Guande Hall to watch."

Emperor Jiajing's heirs were thin, and only King Yu and King Jing lived to adulthood in the end. In retrospect, he didn't even see his two sons literate, let alone ride horses and shoot arrows.

Today's wind is strong, blowing the emperor's dragon robe hunting. Emperor Jiajing hugged his grandson in his arms, pressed his little face to her and asked, "Jun'er, when you grow up, come here to shoot arrows to show the imperial grandfather, okay?" ”

The little guy readily agreed: "Okay." ”

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly ran up to the second floor of the Guande Hall and knelt in front of Emperor Jiajing: "The emperor is overjoyed." ”
