Wanli Youming

Chapter 5 Slap the eunuch!
"The emperor is looking at the memorabilia drafted by Yuanfu Mr. Zhang!"

"The emperor wants to see how Mr. Zhang governs the country, especially how Mr. Zhang handles some specific political matters when it is difficult to make a decision. If there is something you don't understand or something that inspires, the emperor will write it down first. In this way, when I give a lecture in the Wenhua Palace tomorrow, I can ask you sir."

Zhu Yijun replied with a bow.

"Fu Taichang Temple Minister Xu Fan, and Shangbao Secretary Shaoqing Xu Kun's original posts. Note: Both of these two are the sons of Xu Ge, why were they dismissed before?"

"All the officials and departments gave Luo Zun recommended Hai Rui and impeached Tan Lun. Remarks: Although Tan Lun is inappropriate, why didn't he use Hai Rui?"

……

Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhu Yijun's imperial note, which indeed wrote about the government affairs, not obscene words and erotic poems, let alone a market story, and she really believed Zhu Yijun's answer, and only asked: " Then why do I hear that you are playing with crickets?"

Zhu Yijun cupped his hands and said, "Mother, please let me know!"

Then, Zhu Yijun replied neither humble nor overbearing: "It is true that there are close servants presenting crickets to the emperor, and it is also to make the emperor happy. The emperor understands his kindness and accepts it. People don't like things at the time, so I didn't dare to indulge them, but intentionally squeezed them to death to stop the desire to play."

Empress Dowager Li frowned when Zhu Yijun said that she had accepted the crickets.

But after she heard that Zhu Yijun restrained herself because of thinking about Emperor Xuande, she raised her eyebrows again.

However, Empress Dowager Li frowned when she heard that Zhu Yijun wanted to crush the cricket to death.

Empress Dowager Li was about to speak, when Zhu Yijun said again: "But because I thought that my mother has always worshiped the Buddha and couldn't bear to kill, so I temporarily let her out of the window and let her escape into the grass. Only the pots were left for washing brushes."

Zhu Yijun brought over a bamboo jar dipped in ink along the side: "Please check it, Queen Mother!"

Empress Dowager Li nodded after hearing this, her tone softened, and she asked, "Then why is your brother playing with crickets here?"

"The emperor doesn't know where he got the crickets, and he wants to play with the emperor, but the emperor thinks that as a monarch, he should read more books and learn the way of politics as soon as possible, so he doesn't want to play with the emperor, and Afraid of being disturbed by the emperor's brother, I only let the servants play with him outside the palace. The emperor is young, and he is going to be a vassal, so it is better to make him happy."

Zhu Yijun replied.

Empress Dowager Li nodded again and again.

Empress Dowager Chen also laughed at this time: "Jun'er is benevolent and filial! Today's misunderstanding should not have happened."

Others are fine, Feng Bao naturally thumped in his heart when he heard this.

Empress Dowager Li raised her eyebrows again.

Snapped!
A solid slap appeared on Feng Bao's face.

"Feng Bao! What's going on?! Can the emperor be so casually framed?!"

Queen Mother Li is not a stupid person, if it is true what Feng Bao said, she will not be lenient towards Zhu Yijun when she sees Zhu Yijun playing with crickets.

But now Zhu Yijun obviously didn't play with crickets, how could she not guess the reason?
So she naturally scolded Feng Baolai angrily, and made a move.

Teach Feng Bao a lesson!

Because it is impossible for her to allow a slave to have the idea of ​​framing the emperor.

This involves the issue of respect and inferiority, and it also involves the issue of whether Feng Bao, a slave, is really thinking about the emperor.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Li also questioned Feng Baolai, and directly attacked Feng Baolai.

Feng Bao knelt down on the spot: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! This is because the people below reported the news blindly, but the servant is a stupid person, so he really believed it, so that now he has wronged the emperor. It's the servant's fault to ruin the emperor's reputation!"

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Feng Bao was beaten enough by Queen Mother Li, and he beat himself up, and wanted to ask Queen Mother Li for mercy.

Zhu Yijun had to admit that Feng Bao was quick-witted and very good at turning around a situation that was unfavorable to him, and cleaned himself up by pushing this misunderstanding to the subordinates.

Empress Dowager Li did indeed believe what Feng Bao said, thinking that Feng Bao might have misheard the news from the people below, so she just scolded: "Why didn't you check it yourself before reporting it! It can be seen that you are being lazy! Forget about your duty!"

"Your Majesty, calm down! This servant has forgotten her duty. This servant should look at the emperor in person, not just hearsay!"

Feng Bao didn't make any excuses, just admitted it and replied.

Empress Dowager Li did not continue to pursue Feng Bao fiercely. She was not completely disappointed in Feng Bao, and she still needed Feng Bao to continue watching Zhu Yijun for her. She only said:
"Immediately deal with the person who offered the cricket to the emperor! From now on, there must be no such rampant people around the emperor, who dare to teach me, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, what is his intention?!"

After Empress Dowager Li asked such a sharp question, Feng Bao hurriedly agreed tremblingly.

Empress Dowager Li then turned to look at Empress Dowager Chen.

She didn't want to disturb Zhu Yijun reading the playbook here, so she smiled at Queen Mother Chen and said, "Sister, let's go to my sister's place."

Empress Dowager Chen smiled slightly, glanced at Zhu Yijun suddenly, and asked, "Jun'er, why do you use bamboo pots as brush washers? Is there no other brush washers in your palace?"

Empress Dowager Li heard what Empress Dowager Chen said, and then she noticed that Zhu Yijun had just said that she used bamboo jars for brush washing, and she also asked Feng Baolai: "Feng Bao, what's going on, why are the servants around the emperor not fully prepared for brush washing? Do you only know how to find crickets for the emperor? How did you choose someone?!"

Feng Bao was about to kowtow to admit his mistake, Zhu Yijun hurriedly explained: "Mother, calm down, it's not that the servants are not serving you well, it's because the emperor found out through reading the memorials that since the time of the emperor's grandfather, there have been signs of eating more than the amount of money in the house, and the sage said that frugality is not enough. Cultivating virtue, so the emperor thought that there was no need to use the internal treasury for a sum of money, but thought that he could replace it with bamboo pots for the time being, so it can be regarded as the emperor himself personally advocated the style of frugality in the palace."

Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.

Feng Baoze felt as if he had been hit by a heavy punch in his heart, and he was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhu Yijun not only didn't play with crickets, but because he knew that Empress Dowager Li worshiped Buddha, he deliberately told his act of releasing life, and then performed it with a bamboo pot at this time. As soon as I show my frugal demeanor for the king.

For a while, even Feng Bao himself couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yijun, thinking: "Is our little emperor really a precocious and benevolent sage? So that he doesn't even have the slightest playful nature of a child?"

"Frugality is naturally good. It's rare that we, Jun'er, have such a sage at such a young age. Let the gentlemen outside know."

Empress Dowager Chen said something at this time.

Empress Dowager Li followed suit with a smile and said, "What my sister said is true!"

Empress Dowager Chen affirmed Zhu Yijun, and she herself was very happy.

Here, Empress Dowager Chen embraced Zhu Yijun's shoulders, and said, "But Jun'er, you are the emperor after all, and you should be worthy of the emperor, so sometimes thrift is not reflected in these places."

After speaking, Empress Dowager Chen turned to look at Empress Dowager Li and said, "It's just right. I have a jade brush washer I got in the past. It is made of high-quality jade. It is useless for me to keep it for a woman, so I use it for Jun'er. Bar."

"Given by the elders, I dare not resign. Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Zhu Yijun saluted at this moment.

Empress Dowager Chen smiled, and left with Empress Dowager Li.

After the Queen Mothers of the Two Palaces left, Feng Bao saluted Zhu Yijun and left here too.

Zhu Yijun raised his head only after Feng Bao left, and stared at his back like a falcon.
