Wanli Youming

Chapter 14

That night, the cold moon was in the sky.

Inspector of the Inner Court.

"You still have the nerve to come see me?"

The eunuch Sun Dexiu, the supervisor of ceremonies, stared at the jade ring on his finger, without lowering his head, he asked Sun Haiwen who was kneeling in front of him in a cold tone.

Sun Hai replied: "Father, please! My son really didn't expect that the empress dowager and the emperor would suddenly appear at that time!"

"On weekdays, I asked you to restrain yourself. You must know that it is not easy for you to stay in the Qianqing Palace as a deacon. After all, everyone wants to squeeze you out! Especially him Feng Bao! You just don't remember it in your heart and blindly ignore my words. !"

Sun Dexiu continued to speak, hating iron for being weak.

Sun Hai lowered his head, "My son always remembers my godfather's words! It's just that he Zhang Jing is too much! Every time he goes past his son and shows his courtship to the emperor. His son warned him once, but he turned a deaf ear to it and repeated it again and again. And San's like this, not only does he not take his son seriously, he also doesn't take his godfather seriously!"

"Zhang Jing did not understand the rules, but this is not a reason for you to beat someone! From now on, don't tell people that you are my godson, and I will no longer recognize you as a godson!"

Sun Dexiu turned and left after speaking.

After hearing this, Sun Hai felt like a Jiao Lei sounded in his ear, and his whole body trembled in place.

In Da Nei, once a not very high-level eunuch loses the protection of the great eunuch, he will undoubtedly lose any opportunity to advance, and even be retaliated by his former enemies.

Therefore, Sun Dexiu's rejection of Sun Hai is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Sun Hai.

Sun Hai immediately cried out, "Godfather!"

Then, Sun Hai crawled towards Sun Dexiu and hugged Sun Dexiu's calf: "Godfather, you can't let go of your son! You have always brought up your son. Without you, how could there be a son today! Godfather! Son Wrong, please give your son another chance!"

Sun Dexiu ignored Sun Hai, just kicked Sun Hai away, then quickly walked into the Supervisor of Rites, and ordered someone to close the gate of the Supervisor of Rites.

"Godfather!"

Sun Hai yelled again heart-piercingly.

At this time, he is like a cat or dog abandoned by his master. In an instant, he is so pitiful that he can't stand and live in this world, and hesitantly looks around carefully, as if he feels that there are countless desires to swallow him all around. The hungry wolf eyes are staring at him.

"Godfather!"

Sun Hai had to shout again.

No response.

The gate of the chief inspector was tightly shut.

Sun Hai had no choice but to yell again until his voice became hoarse, the volume became smaller and smaller, and his body became more and more weak.

In the capital city in February of the first year of Wanli, the snow has not disappeared and the ice has not melted.

Every night, people still shiver with cold.

Especially tonight, the spring cold is still heavy.

Zhu Yijun, wearing a red cloak inlaid with gold with a straight collar embroidered with dragons and a jade silk sash, also came back from Queen Mother Chen's bedroom while rubbing his hands.

According to the ethics of this era, Queen Mother Chen is his legal mother and the only person who can suppress Queen Mother Li.

Although the Empress Dowager Chen did not want to personally intervene in the matter of disciplining the emperor, and she was not interested in power struggles, Zhu Yijun knew that he must let the Empress Dowager Chen feel his filial piety as the emperor at all times.

It's better to be more personal.

It's not like your own life is better than your own life.

In this way, even if Empress Dowager Li really has the idea of ​​changing her name in the future, perhaps Empress Dowager Chen can give her Austrian support, instead of sitting and watching things like abolishing the head, which violate the Confucian principle of power inheritance, happen.

Therefore, when Sun Hai was not there, and after learning that the Empress Dowager Chen had passed on the imperial physician, Zhu Yijun went to Ciqing Palace regardless of the cold night, visited the Empress Dowager Chen, and personally asked the imperial physician about her illness.

Empress Dowager Chen, who had been neglected by her husband Emperor Longqing for many years when she was a queen, was actually rarely cared about by others, so she was naturally moved, so she couldn't help but reward him with her own self.

And after Zhu Yijun came back from Ciqing Palace with some rewards, he also learned of Sun Hai's whereabouts, so he changed his way to the Supervisor of Rites, and met Sun Hai here.

Zhu Yijun didn't ask anyone to knock on the door of the chief inspector of ceremonies to report, but walked behind Sun Hai, and seeing that he was like a stray dog ​​that had been frozen overnight, his breathing was only humming weakly, and he said, "Follow me!" Let me go back!"

After Sun Hai opened his eyes and looked at it, he couldn't help being taken aback.

"Your Majesty?"

Sun Hai straightened up on his knees hastily, then kowtowed on the hard floor tiles to salute.

"Let's go."

Zhu Yijun only said once, then turned and left.

Sun Hai also got up and followed.

Snapped!
As soon as he got up, Sun Hai fell to the ground.

Seeing his chapped lips, haggard face and closed eyes, Zhu Yijun ordered, "Zhang Jing! Carry him back!"

"Yes!"

And as soon as he returned to Qianqing Palace, when Zhu Yijun ordered someone to feed the first spoonful of sugar water into Sun Hai's lips, Sun Hai woke up with a start, and after seeing the scene of himself being taken care of in front of the emperor, he suddenly felt ashamed. He was half-souled, and the whole person was stunned in place, and then suddenly turned over and lay down, knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "I can't bear it! My life will be shortened!"

"Why, receiving his great favor from Sun Dexiu will not shorten your life, but receiving my emperor's favor will shorten your life?"

Zhu Yijun asked a question.

"No! Slaves are only half-disabled people, so they are not qualified to accept it."

Sun Hai replied.

"If you enter the palace, you will be a palace man, and you will be my man. Naturally, you will be able to bear it."

Zhu Yijun smiled lightly as he spoke.

Sun Hai pondered for a while, but didn't drink the sugar water, but turned over and got out of bed suddenly: "The emperor's thoughts, this slave understands! The servant's godfather, I didn't deal with Mr. Feng in the Ceremony Supervisor, and the servant is willing to help the emperor. Father left the Supervisor of Ceremonies ahead of time, just because of the emperor's kindness to bring back his servants! Only the servants have received Godfather's great kindness, and today, even if they really want to do something sorry for the emperor, but still can't bear godfather to go I'm really going to end up miserable because of my slaves. Otherwise, I'm afraid the emperor won't think my slaves are trustworthy."

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, I can guarantee to save his life and give you a chance to repay your kindness and fulfill your filial piety. I can still guarantee this!"

After hearing this, Sun Hai immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, my lord! Even if my lord lets my servants go through fire and water, the servants will not hesitate to do so."

"Zhang Jing!"

Zhu Yijun shouted sharply at this time.

Zhang Jing stood up and replied, "Please order from the emperor."

"Let him drink it himself!"

Zhu Yijun said rather sullenly.

Seeing Zhu Yijun's displeased face, Sun Hai, who was wearing a black mark, couldn't help being taken aback, and after Zhu Yijun gave such orders, he immediately picked up the bowl and drank it all by himself.

Zhu Yijun took a look and didn't say much.

From Zhu Yijun's point of view, being an emperor doesn't seem to be difficult.

Because those who can appear next to the emperor seem to be some good people. Before the emperor himself can express his thoughts, he will be guessed what he wants to do, and he will directly bargain with himself.

Zhu Yijun really didn't expect that he had someone carry Sun Hai back to Qianqing Palace, and he had just planned to condescend and give favors, but he hadn't had time to say the words to drive Sun Hai to backstab his godfather for him. Sun Hai guessed his intention first.

Fortunately, Zhu Yijun thought that Sun Hai, as a person who is prone to emotional disturbances, is a relatively simple and easy-to-control character, and as long as he shows a little kindness, he can make him tearful.

But in the end, although Sun Hai was straightforward, he was not stupid, and he saw through the emperor's mind at once.

This made Zhu Yijun feel like he was pretending to be a failure, so he was a little annoyed.

So now Zhu Yijun can only regain his sense of existence by putting on the emperor's airs, so he doesn't let people feed Sun Hai sugar water to supplement his blood sugar, but asks him to do it himself, no matter how smart you are, you can only let me The meaning of this master's manipulation.

Zhu Yijun didn't say anything after that, and began to shift his thoughts to the business to do, and asked Sun Hai:

"What are you going to do?"

　Thank you for the reminder from a big reader in the comment area. In fact, I also have this idea in the following outline, that is, to unite with the empress dowager Chen against the desire for control and power of the birth mother, the empress dowager Li. I just forgot to mention it in the previous text to avoid When the Empress Dowager Chen suddenly supported the protagonist, it seemed abrupt.In fact, the Empress Dowager Chen and the protagonist have common interests. One is the mother-in-law and the other is the eldest son.Therefore, Queen Mother Chen has a natural motivation to protect the interests of Wanli's eldest son.After all, she is Longqing's empress, if she does not strictly abide by the patriarchal system, it is equivalent to her consciously giving up her nobler status than Empress Dowager Li.I have to remind now that some content has been added, which may be better.
