Chapter 2 A loving mother and a filial son, full of wit and intelligence(1/2)

Seeing his behavior, Concubine Li didn't buy it. She knew best what kind of son she was.

She asked with a cold face and a questioning tone: "What? Just like the last time Huiji Men persuaded Jin to do it, he was afraid of all the officials like tigers and wolves, cowering in this Ciqing Palace and not daring to go out!?"

He said nothing to save his son's face, because Zhu Yijun's behavior was not the first time.

A few days ago, all the civil and military officials came to Huiji Gate to persuade him to come forward. In terms of etiquette, Zhu Yijun had to at least give in face to face.

But Zhu Yijun turned out to be timid and timid, and was so frightened that he did not dare to show his face. In the end, he was unable to get off the tiger, so he had to give it orally and put an end to the matter hastily.

Concubine Li was almost mad to death, and she scolded her a lot afterwards.

But today, when the Wenhua Palace was in court, military and civilian representatives, and civil and military officials were about to persuade him to come in again, Zhu Yijun hid in the palace and refused to go out. How could she not be extremely angry?

Zhu Yijun, who has the memory of this body, naturally knows what is going on.

She sighed in her heart. It's no wonder that after Emperor Wanli's wedding, Li didn't want to return to power. With this kind of character, it was indeed difficult for Li to trust him.

He tidied up his words, and said with a solemn look on his face: "Mother and concubine, my father was only a few years old when he was established. He was full of youth and prosperous, but he suddenly died and left the world."

"The child's heart is filled with pain. It's like being in trouble. He lost his position for a moment and lost control of the previous advance and retreat. After the mother-in-law taught him a lesson, the child has reflected on himself many times in the past two days. There is absolutely no reason to do it again."

"I really didn't delay today on purpose."

Zhu Yijun was chewing words, not to show off. These were just some words from his previous resignation. He quoted them here to show that he had indeed listened after being taught a lesson. This was not the case in his daily speech.

The technique is a little clumsy, but it is suitable for the psychology of children of this age.

In short, the meaning is that my father died suddenly. He was a good prince, and he was appointed to the throne in the blink of an eye. It is normal to be a little panicked. Now that he has come to his senses, he will do it next time! Mom, please stop scolding me.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li saw that his behavior and speech were orderly, calm and calm, and his color was slightly brighter.

But she still didn't let him go easily. She frowned and said, "All the military and civilian officials are waiting in the Wenhua Hall. What reason do you have for lingering in the hall?"

Concubine Li was born as a commoner and later became a palace maid, so her address was naturally not very particular.

Her tone was stern, and it was obvious that she needed to be reprimanded for no legitimate reason.

The words just fell.

Zhu Yijun looked up at her, his eyes slightly red.

She seemed to be suppressing her sadness and spoke clearly: "Mother, just now when the Tengu ate the sun, the child seemed to have a nightmare."

"I vaguely saw my father in the palace, and he wanted to hold the child's hand lovingly and smile at the child, but the child stretched out his hand to touch it, but he couldn't reach it."

When he said this, although his expression was tense, the tears in his eyes started to flow down, and he could not help but cry during his words.

This is the strength of the old drama player, he can display it freely.

Concubine Li was also startled when she saw his condition.

Looking at Zhu Yijun's sad face, I suddenly remembered that her naughty sons, who were always scolding them in every possible way, were in the final analysis just a ten-year-old child who suddenly lost his father.

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t had a good rest in the past few days, but now I have a nightmare.

I felt a little soft-hearted for a while.

He was about to lean down and feel relieved, but he stopped and extinguished this thought.

He is about to ascend the throne as emperor, and all the nine states and all the people in the world will have to be carried on his shoulders. How can he be cowardly?

In times of emergency, you need to be ruthless in your care so that you can shoulder your great responsibilities as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Concubine Li immediately frowned and said in a stern tone: "How unbecoming you are when you look like this."

Of course Zhu Yijun didn't mean to give up, he immediately took a step back and bowed again.

Then he wiped it randomly on his face and said in a firm tone: "Mother, my child is not crying out of self-pity, but because I think about what my father just said, and I can't stop feeling sad for a moment."

He answered again, leaving a gap in his words for Li.

Sure enough, Concubine Li listened to his words and immediately grasped the key points.

Her expression changed after realizing it, and she asked in surprise, "Emperor Daxing still has any words to give?"

Concubine Li Guifei has worshiped Buddhism since she was a child, and she has always been willing to believe in the theories about ghosts and gods.

In history, there were cases where all the prisoners were released out of concern that the death penalty would harm the peace of the world.

Just now, Zhu Yijun only said that she had a nightmare. She hadn't thought much about it, but now she actually said that the late emperor had left a message. This was a manifestation!

Her thoughts immediately turned to the theory of ghosts and gods.

Thinking of this, Concubine Li couldn't help but look at Zhu Yijun seriously, waiting for his answer.

Feng Bao on the side immediately tensed up.

He was afraid that the crown prince was seduced by a traitor and would say something shocking.

He has been involved in political affairs for many years, so he certainly has a keen sense of smell. He has seen a lot of this method!

You know, he had just pulled Meng Chong from the position of Chief of Ceremonies and Chief of Eunuchs. This man had been in power after all. Seeing that the situation was about to end, there was no guarantee that he would not come up with some evil plan!

There is also Meng Chong's backer in the cabinet, Gao Gong, who also regards him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

This is the chief minister of the current dynasty! A veteran of three dynasties!

He has recently caught a handle on this person and is planning to attack him. It is possible that Gao Gong will get wind of it and will strike first!

Feng Bao's thoughts were all over the place for a while, and he looked straight at Zhu Yijun, regretting that there was no room for him to interrupt at this time, so he could only feel anxious.

Zhu Yijun felt Feng Bao's gaze, but ignored it.

There were still tears on his little face, looking innocent and pitiful: "Vaguely, I heard my father instructing the child, saying... saying... we orphans and widowed mothers depend on each other, so that the child will have a good life and be filial to his mother, concubine and queen, otherwise,

He is worried."

The queen he spoke of was naturally the late emperor's queen and his patriarchal mother, which is why there were three people, mother and son.

After Feng Bao heard this, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

There is nothing unusual about these words.

It's a pity that this is just because he was there and his vision was limited. He didn't know that Zhu Yijun was rushing to compete for Concubine Li's favor at this time!

This is the subtle and silent way to moisturize things.

You need to know that power cannot be grasped in a few words.

In any case, now that he is on the throne, he is actually just a child emperor.

There is no vacuum in power. Since he could not exercise imperial power, this power naturally fell into Li's hands.

Therefore, if he wants to take charge of the government, the key lies in his mother-in-law.

If she insists on entrusting it to the Chief of Ceremonies and the Cabinet, then Zhu Yijun will have to wait.

Historically, this Li family still did not hand over the power to him after his wedding.

How can this be done?

How much can he do if he has not been involved in politics for ten years after taking the throne?

If he couldn't stretch his muscles and get an overview of political affairs as soon as possible, what else would he do with his advanced knowledge of the era? How to make the Ming Dynasty great again?

Since his predecessor was unreliable and made Mr. Li so uneasy, he naturally had to learn lessons and start with the subtleties to slowly give Mr. Li confidence.

Therefore, all his performances just now were done for Mr. Li to see.

From behaving in a moderate manner, to speaking and speaking, and finally the emotional cards, they are all showing to Ms. Li and doing ideological work for her.

In short, he just wants to let her know that her son is talented, smart in political affairs, filial, loyal and benevolent. In short, he is reliable!

For this kind of woman who comes from a commoner background and has not yet been immersed in politics, playing the emotional card is the most effective way.

Historically, this Li family delayed in handing over the great government because there were children who looked upon Emperor Wanli.

Secondly, it may be because they have been in power for a long time, the political structure is stable, and they are unwilling to change easily.

So, do your work as early as possible!

How can you trust outsiders and not trust your own son?

Fortunately, he is different from Zhu Yijun. This method of contacting the feelings of old women in the work unit is easy to come by. In addition, he now has the face of an eight-year-old child, which is naturally very deceptive. Even Feng Baozai, who was most wary just now,

Sometimes, the most I could think about was whether he was being deceived, let alone Concubine Li?

If you have an advantage, you should take advantage of it.

Today is just an appetizer.

You must perform better in the future!

For this reason, he laid the groundwork at the end.

He needs a reason, a reason to become enlightened.

The crown prince mourned the great emperor, changed his normal behavior, and worked hard. This is a reason that can be used anywhere!

What a wonderful deed. If he had been in his previous life, he could have written ten different pieces of material.

Sure enough, under Zhu Yijun's series of attacks, Concubine Li finally felt a little moved.

A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
