Chapter 8 Hibernating and waiting, trickling to accumulate(1/2)
"I heard that you caused some trouble in front of the palace?" Li Guifei mentioned another matter.
Zhu Yijun was about to make a fuss about this matter so that he could interfere in human affairs. Concubine Li took the initiative to bring it up, and he responded without hesitation.
He waved his hands to the left and right and ordered: "You all go down."
Concubine Li nodded, and the palace maid and eunuch retreated.
Only then did he tell Concubine Li what happened in front of the palace.
Afterwards, he added: "The child saw that his mother was a little angry with Gao Gong, so he became angry. He wanted to seek an explanation from him, but he didn't know it would be like this."
As a woman, as long as you do something extraordinary for her, you will be more moved.
Concubine Li glared at him: "What Gao Gong is called Yuan Fu!"
Although he was glaring, the smile on his face did not fade at all.
She continued, "According to what you're saying, it's the little eunuch who is driving a wedge between the superiors and the subordinates. Isn't it because Gao Gong is domineering?"
Yes, with this title and tone, Zhu Yijun immediately recognized Concubine Li's feelings for Gao Gong.
I also confirmed in my heart once again that when this mother becomes the queen mother, it will be the time when Gao Gong leaves the cabinet.
"Mother, even if there are other explanations for this matter, this Gao Gong must not be able to escape from a domineering and arrogant person. Otherwise, how could he keep me from coming to the stage outside the palace."
His mother is also a docile donkey. Even if she decides to change Gao Gong's life and leave a dignified career, she still has to pay attention to the method.
Concubine Li snorted softly, which obviously touched her heart.
Being frozen three feet is not a day's cold, and being tall and domineering is no longer the same thing. She has already been deeply prejudiced against it.
She stretched out her hand to straighten Zhu Yijun's clothes and said casually: "That man is embarrassing his eldest companion. The eunuch and the eunuch are his godsons."
The favor in this sentence should not be too obvious. It is much better than Gao Gong.
Zhu Yijun hit the snake on the stick, walked around behind Concubine Li, and beat her on the shoulder: "Mother, I don't have to embarrass my eldest companion."
"First of all, whether the little eunuch is driving a wedge between the superiors and subordinates, or is being kept in high positions and dare not tell the truth, he is a person who deceives the emperor and ignores his superiors. He has no emperor and no father."
"This kind of person is responsible for the confidentiality of the Wenhua Palace. The Chief of Ceremonies is also responsible for defaulting on his duties. It is the responsibility of the ruler to punish Zang. I may not dare to forget it."
"Moreover, I have a high-profile face and is holding on to him, so I can only deal with one or two of them, so as not to delay the important matter of persuading the emperor to enter the court."
Concubine Li glanced at her child in surprise.
My son has really changed his mind today. His conversation is well-organized and he is really smart. No wonder the officials praise him so much, he looks like a king.
She watched Zhu Yijun change so much in such a short period of time and found it incredible.
I thought again of what happened in the East Palace this morning...could it be that Emperor Daxing was really blessing me?
She muttered in her heart, but couldn't help but praise: "Well, it's quite thorough."
After that, she said curiously: "Then let Feng Daban choose someone else to take over. If you already have a lot of face, why do you want to kick Cuju to your mother?"
Zhu Yijun paused the hand that was beating his shoulders in time, and then started to beat it again without saying a word.
Concubine Li was very keenly aware of it and asked aloud: "We, mother and son, are connected. Is there anything we can't say?"
Zhu Yijun blushed: "Mom, it's not that I can't say it, it's just that I feel a little embarrassed to say it at the moment."
Concubine Li waved her hands, too lazy to speak.
Zhu Yijun then said: "Mother, Feng Daban was originally the admiral of the East Factory, and also in charge of the imperial guards. This is a prominent position in the inner court."
"A few days ago, my mother mentioned him to the Eunuch, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and the Eunuch. He is very busy with all the secrets of the inner court."
"Just like after the dynasty dispersed, my eldest companion went to deal with the memorials and could not serve him. I have tried to find him many times in the past few days but I can't find him."
"So, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to ask my mother to assign another eunuch to my son, so that I can take care of him."
After saying that, he even rubbed Concubine Li's shoulders and neck flatteringly.
Who wouldn’t know how to slander leaders?
Feng Bao can play the high-gong threat theory and discredit him for being naughty and mischievous. Naturally, he can also imitate him!
The first one, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, has his palms stamped and is called the internal minister, while the second one, the Admiral, supervises the East Factory. The two check and balance each other.
Concubine Li was a woman in the palace and did not understand the ways. Now that Feng Bao was left with two jobs, he certainly needed to wake up Concubine Li.
As for the effect, it all depends on how much Concubine Li trusts Feng Bao. The most important thing is to come back a few times.
As expected, Concubine Li frowned thoughtfully after hearing this.
After a while, he answered absentmindedly: "So who do you want from me?"
Zhu Yijun lowered his head and said respectfully: "It's all up to my mother and concubine to make the decision."
He paused and said, "However, the child dreamed about the imperial examination today, and his thoughts are getting stronger. Can the mother choose an old person from Prince Yu's palace to tell the child more about the things before the imperial examination to ease her grief."
Prince Yu's Mansion is the former emperor's residence before he ascended the throne, and it is also the place where Zhu Yijun was born and grew up.
He didn't name anyone he wanted, so naturally there was another way.
There are many eunuchs in this palace, but if you add the two restrictions of Prince Yu's residence and the great eunuch, there won't be many.
There are only five or six people with senior eunuch qualifications in Prince Yu's Mansion.
Chen Hong and Meng Chong, who were born in Prince Yu's palace, became eunuchs after the late emperor ascended the throne. Now they are all hated by Concubine Li.
There are also those who have a deep relationship with the late emperor and ask themselves to build a mausoleum for the late emperor. They will only be able to stay with the late emperor for the rest of their lives.
Excluding those who are already old and are taking care of themselves.
There are actually only two people who can use it now.
One is named Chen Suan and the other is named Zhang Hong.
But Zhu Yijun knew in his heart that Concubine Li could only choose the latter.
Why? Because the former is listening to Queen Chen.
Therefore, he gave the leader a multiple-choice question with no choice.
Selecting within a limited range also gives the leader the power to make decisions. This is called a win-win situation.
Based on his performance today, he believed that Concubine Li would agree to this request.
As for Zhang Hong.
This person had served his predecessor for a period of time when he was young, and he was very respectful and effective in his memory.
The late emperor rewarded him several times and praised him as a good and loyal slave.
What's even better is that this person is unwilling to join Meng Chong and Feng Bao, and has been suppressed repeatedly. The position of admiral eunuch is neither big nor small. It is a favor to some extent and it is easy for him to handle, so it is just right.
Concubine Li didn't think about it, she just nodded as if in a fugue: "Well, I can save this matter."
It was a trivial matter, but she was still thinking about whether Feng Bao had taken too much power, so she agreed to it without any care.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Li waved her hand: "Okay, you go back to the palace and review the classics. The cabinet has put an extra burden on you."
Zhu Yijun bowed and said: "Kid, remember this."
After saying that, he suddenly mentioned it as if by accident: "By the way, Concubine, there are many things discussed in the palace today. I don't know how to deal with them in the end. Can Concubine give the child some guidance and learn a thing or two."
Concubine Li said angrily: "How can it be so fast? The queen has seen it before she asked me to take care of it."
Zhu Yijun asked strangely: "Don't the Queen Mother never care about this?"
Concubine Li shook her head: "Although the queen is too lazy to deal with it and always sends it to me, you can't mess with the etiquette. After all, she is the queen of the palace."
"Okay, I'll explain it to you after I've seen it tomorrow. Go back and review your homework."
Concubine Li drove people away again.
Zhu Yijun had no choice but to get up and leave.
…
There was originally some archery that needed to be learned in the afternoon, but since it was the mourning period, this was temporarily cancelled.
Zhu Yijun was a little unhappy. How could he not attend physical education class?
In modern times, it was discovered that the body of Emperor Wanli had leg problems.
Now he doesn't feel any discomfort in his legs, so it can only be caused the day after tomorrow.
Either he loves sweets and has bone problems caused by diabetes. After all, you will know how much you love sweets when you have dental caries in your predecessor; or it is gout. This is not unfounded. Emperor Wanli always said in his daily life that he loves sugar.
A few pimples.
He is planning to eat less sweets now, but he can't miss the gym class either.
Since the riding and shooting stopped, he simply took some activities in Ciqing Palace and played a simple Wuqinxi play - this was originally prepared for him after his retirement.
After sweating a little, he stopped and asked someone to take a bath.
The reason for taking a bath at this time was that after dinner, one had to go to Qianqing Palace to kneel in honor of the late emperor.
Although it is just a formality and will be gone after a while, taking a bath is also an unavoidable process, which is an indispensable part of the filial piety period.
