The sun is blazing in the sky.

Zhang Shouyue held a memorial in his hand and knelt outside the Meridian Gate with an upright expression.

Not far away, two eunuchs held umbrellas and fanned Feng Bao on the seat.

Feng Bao stared at Zhang Shouyue: "Who taught you to say these words?"

The inexplicable sense of déjà vu made his words a bit colder.

Zhang Shouyue didn't even look at Feng Bao, and snorted coldly: "I am the censor of the Ming Dynasty! I fulfill my duties as a censor, unlike some eunuchs who can only rely on others to speak and do things."

This is naturally not Feng Baoyuan's answer.

Feng Bao seemed to be deaf: "Oh, Song Zhihan, no wonder, after all, he is a classmate and Jinshi."

He also called the eunuch and said, "Record it in the record."

When Zhang Shou made an appointment to see Feng Bao's behavior, he was so angry that he said: "Feng Bao! How dare you call a deer a horse in front of you! Are you going to be Zhao Gao!"

Feng Bao nodded: "Okay, okay, it turns out that Zhang Wei is also in the same group. Come on, write it down."

The little eunuch beside him was writing notes quickly.

After pretending for a while, Feng Bao saw that the heat was almost the same, he showed a look of shock, and said in a voiceless voice: "What? Gao Gong gave it to me!?"

"How dare you form a clique!?"

He stood up in shock and grabbed his godson: "Quick! Write it down! I will send it to the Queen Mother immediately!"

Form a party!

What a big deal!

Even if I, Feng Bao, hold this position against the ancestral system, it is still a reward from my master.

If people like you, Gao Gong, dare to form a clique, they are committing a huge taboo.

Don't talk about the fact that there are a lot of this and that party in the court now, overtly or covertly, let them come out and admit it publicly?

Some things, if they are not put on the scale, they will not weigh four ounces, but if they are put on the scale, they will not weigh a thousand pounds!

Party formation? When was the case of forming a party in the court not a bloody one?

Look at the current situation. Among the 140 censors, more than 20 are impeaching him, Feng Bao.

The six divisions assigned forty-eight people to the case, and half of them took turns coming from time to time to cause trouble in the inner court.

Gao Gong said that Feng Bao was angry with both humans and gods, and that God was angry and people were resentful. But in Feng Bao's case, it can still be said that Gao Gong formed a party to criticize Zhongliang!

Feng Bao ignored Zhang Shouyue's insults behind him, took the records just now, and went straight to Queen Mother Li's palace.

The outcome between him and Gao Gong can be said to be full of confidence.

Why did the eunuch gain power? It was because there was someone behind him!

Those who have always been able to bring down eunuchs have either been abandoned by the people behind them, or they have simply targeted the people behind them.

Want to bring yourself down by pointing out your own little mistakes? That’s ridiculous!

If Empress Dowager Li was alone and had no one to support her, she would not be able to stop the officials from jointly signing the memorial, and she might be abandoned.

But... tandem? I really thought that the courtiers were all on the same page with him!

By the time Gao Gong was shocked to realize that not all courtiers had the same idea as him, it was too late.

If Empress Dowager Li hadn't inexplicably changed her mind and said that for the sake of stability in the court, she had to wait for Gao Gong to ask himself to serve, Gao Gong would have been deposed and gone home now!

Regardless of whether you keep it or not, it is a good time to cut off the high-profile members.

As long as the stalemate persists, the traitor will jump out on his own.

The censor was just a pawn in the matter, but he wanted to see who else was among the senior officials of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers.

Wait until they all jump out, and then join forces with Zhang Juzheng to catch them all in one fell swoop!

No one from Gao Gong or his followers can be left behind!

…

As soon as Zhu Yijun arrived outside Cining Palace, he heard the chatter inside, accompanied by the shouts of children. It was very lively.

He walked into the palace with a strange look on his face, and sure enough he saw his younger brothers and sisters, Zhu Yili and Zhu Yaolao, running around in the house.

The two children share the same mother with him, and were both born to Empress Dowager Li.

Zhu Yiliu was four years old and Zhu Yaoyu was five years old.

When Queen Mother Li saw the emperor coming, she quickly asked the palace servants to catch the two children: "Come here and salute."

The two children were obviously taught this too.

Zhu Yiliu mumbled and bowed: "Brother Liuli, I would like to pay my respects to the eldest brother, His Majesty the Emperor."

Zhu Yao is one year older and can speak more smoothly, but he still hesitates: "Sister, I would like to pay my respects to my eldest brother, His Majesty the Emperor."

Although he was in a hurry, hesitating and forgetting his words, he still showed proper etiquette and was allowed to stand up.

Zhu Yijun did not stop them from saluting and playing some modernist tricks.

In this era, it would be good for them to determine their superiority and inferiority as soon as possible.

Haven’t you heard that Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan?

He took his sister Zhu Yao's hand and walked to Queen Mother Li: "Brother and sister-in-law haven't seen each other for a while, and they seem to have grown taller."

Once upon a time, he had reached the point where he could only praise children for growing taller.

Queen Mother Li looked at the scene in front of her with her children wrapped around her knees, and smiled happily.

She picked up Zhu Yijun and said to Zhu Yijun: "These younger brothers and sisters will have to be taken care of by you in the future."

Zhu Yijun was teasing Zhu Yaolao. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yijun, and then looked down at his little sister's confused eyes.

Historically, Zhu Yili took good care of him, but Zhu Yao was in misery.

According to Taizu's instructions, the prince-in-law must be selected from the families of common people or low-level officials, and the children selected from the families who are close relatives cannot serve as officials anymore. Most of them are benevolent and noble.

This led to the fact that even those from a scholarly family who were a little bit interested in pursuing the imperial examination did not want to marry a princess.

Who are the people who are willing? The nouveau riche who seek a noble body!

According to the records of the Yingzong family, "children from wealthy families entrusted the officials who presided over the marriage to take shelter with the Yin and Yang people who were discussing the marriage. If they had money, they would ask for advice or even if they were despicable people."

What does it mean? It is to recruit a consort, which is more like buying honors to enrich the pockets of the officials and eunuchs who are presiding over the marriage.

A concrete example is the sister in front of me, Zhu Yaoyu.

In the tenth year of Wanli in history, Zhu Yaoyu reached the marriageable age, and Liang Bangrui, a nouveau riche, was just a tuberculosis ghost.

Just because he bribed Feng Bao and obtained Feng Bao's support, the marriage was concluded.

At the wedding, the consumptive ghost had nosebleeds and soaked the wedding robe, which made people almost faint. The eunuchs actually said that the red wedding dress was a good omen!

The thing that died of illness two months after the wedding cost a princess half her life.

Let me take care of you? Okay, let me take charge first, so I won't be bullied by Feng Bao like you.

It's a pity that I can't say this.

Zhu Yijun could only find another entry point, thought for a while, and then said: "What the Queen Mother said is my fellow countrymen's flesh and blood, and I naturally mean it."

"It's just that in royal affairs, unlike the private sector, you can't make your own decisions."

After hearing this, Queen Mother Li's expression darkened.

The son's emotion was obviously not groundless.

It must have come from a feeling, or even meant something.

She paused for a while and then said: "My son must have been made uncomfortable by recent events."

She knew that her son was now surrounded by officials and eunuchs.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Every court meeting is about impeaching Feng Daban. Even in the explanations every day, Feng Daban is used as a negative. It is simply unavoidable."

"This child realizes that even the most powerful person in the world can't make the decision on everything."

Queen Mother Li snorted coldly: "They are all bullying my orphan and widowed mother!"

Zhu Yijun took the opportunity to sit next to Mr. Li.

La said in a homely tone: "At first, I just thought it was because I was young and my mother could not attend the court."

"Until yesterday I went to read the memorials from my Imperial Examination..."

"In the first year of Longqing, the late emperor wanted to reuse Gao Gong, but because Xu Jie objected, he had to let Gao Gong serve."

"In the second year of Longqing, the emperor asked the Ministry of Household Affairs for silver, but was blocked by Shangshu Ma Sen. He said that the emperor's imperial approval should be issued by the cabinet and could not be directly passed down by the Chief of Ceremonies."

"In the fourth year of Longqing, there were constant reports of imperial censors insulting me, Huang Kao, saying that Huang Kao indulged in lust and ignored government affairs, and the world was hopeless. Our emperor Kao wanted to punish Yu Shi for his crime, but was dissuaded by the cabinet and even educated

Take the Imperial Examination."

"There are many, many, many, many of them. I, Emperor Kao, am an emperor in his prime."
