Chapter 37: Your Majesty, you have grown up!

After learning from Wang Bing how to "share a small family with his mother", and with the great dream of a virtuous monarch and a holy master, the little fat boy couldn't wait to "play truant" from all the princes!

"Master, is it so early for the Imperial College to finish school today?"

In the Palace of Qing Dynasty in the Forbidden City, the fat old man who had accompanied the little fat man to the Imperial Academy to watch the 'match' between the Langyan Wushu Society and the Nanfeng Poetry Society couldn't help but asked with a confused look on his face when he saw the little fat man hurried back.

"Darling, tell me, if there is something wrong with the 'one whip' method that Mr. Zhang plans to implement, should I tell Mr. Zhang?"

"Master, who is slandering Mr. Zhang's new policy again?" Upon hearing the little fat man saying that there was something wrong with the 'one whip' method, the fat old man who he called his 'big companion' couldn't help but When he frowned, his first reaction was that someone was slandering his political ally Zhang Juzheng.

That’s right, this ‘big companion’ is Feng Bao, the great eunuch who formed the iron triangle of the Ming Dynasty with Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li in the early years of Wanli!

Feng Bao, whose courtesy name was Yongting and whose nickname was Shuanglin, was a eunuch, but he was also a musician and calligrapher. From the sixth year of Longqing, he served successively as eunuch Si Li Bingbi and eunuch Si Li eunuch Zhang Seal. He was also in charge of Dongchang can be said to be in charge of both internal and external affairs, with overwhelming power for a while.

However, although Feng Bao had great power for a while, he was also an outstanding politician. After Zhang Juzheng became the chief minister, he cooperated with Zhang Juzheng tacitly and actively implemented the New Deal, cut redundant staff and reduced expenditures. He can be regarded as a generation of wise officials.

In the iron triangle formed with Zhang Juzheng and Queen Mother Li, Feng Bao actually played the role of Wanli's supervisor, so even though the little fat man was the emperor, he still had a certain respect for this eunuch.

Therefore, after seeing Feng Bao's frown, the little fat man suddenly felt guilty.

"My dear friend, it's not that anyone slandered Mr. Zhang's new policy, it's just that I accidentally talked about a whipping method with someone in the Imperial College, and I got some inspiration from it." Before Feng Bao could speak, the little fat man quickly started to explain.

"Oh, that's it. I wonder if you can tell me what's inappropriate about what I said?" When he heard that someone was not slandering Zhang Juzheng's New Deal, Feng Bao also raised his eyebrows and said to him with a smile. The little fat man asked.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell my companion. I just want my companion to give me a detailed look!" Seeing Feng Bao's smiling face, the little fat man also put down his fear of him and began to excitedly put himself in Wang Bing's eyes. All the ideas that I "enlightened" under the guidance of Zhang Juzheng were explained in detail to Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng's political ally.

"My emperor is wise, God bless the emperor!"

What shocked the little fat man was that as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Bao knelt down in front of him and performed a very formal and solemn kneeling ceremony.

It has to be said that Feng Bao is indeed worthy of being a wise official of the generation. From the policies he ‘enlightened’ from the little fat man, he was very keen to perceive the huge value in them.

"Daban, please... get up quickly." Looking at Feng Bao kneeling in front of him, the little fat man felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, and quickly reached out to help Feng Bao.

Even though Feng Bao was just a eunuch, Feng Bao rarely gave him such a formal and grand gift unless it was a formal occasion. In addition, he had grown up under his care since he was a child, so even as an emperor, he would The fat man actually didn't treat him as a slave.

"Young master, old slave, I am just too happy. I will tell Mr. Zhang these words of the young master!" After saying that, Feng Bao, who looked excited, turned around and prepared to run out.

"Oh, young master, looking at this old slave's mind, of course it would be better for the young master to talk to Mr. Zhang in person!" Feng Bao, who had just turned around, suddenly turned around again and looked at him with a look of shame.

The little fat man said.



"Sir, look..."

In the Wenyuan Pavilion in the Forbidden City, the real center of power of the Ming Dynasty, the little fat man looked expectantly at the bearded official in front of him, anxiously waiting for the evaluation of the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, you have grown up!"

In the little fat man's expectant eyes, Zhang Juzheng, the 'first chief minister' in the history of the Ming Dynasty, did not say the words of praise that the little fat man expected. Instead, he came to the little fat man in front of a group of cabinet ministers.

In front of the fat man, just like Feng Bao did before, he knelt down respectfully.

"My emperor is wise!"

At the same time, all the cabinet ministers, including Lu Tiaoyang, the second assistant, also knelt down along with Zhang Juzheng.

"Sir, sir, get up quickly!"

Seeing Zhang Juzheng kneeling in front of him, the little fat man, whose face turned red with excitement, hurriedly tried to pull Zhang Juzheng up.

However, the first minister of the Ming Dynasty still insisted on completing this formal and solemn kneeling ceremony.

"Sir, this is all thanks to your careful teaching!" At this time, how could the little fat man not understand that Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, kneeling down was the greatest affirmation for him.

"I have been through three dynasties, and today I finally meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I am really lucky for my three lifetimes!" Looking at the little fat man's fat face, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help stroking his beard with emotion.

For a minister who is determined to reform, is there any better affirmation than to get the true understanding and support of the king? And what is even more valuable is that the king whom he teaches is even better than himself in some aspects.

Thinking more long-term and thoughtfully made him, as the 'Emperor Master', very happy.



"Master Auxiliary Chief, are these terms really thought up by His Majesty himself? Could it be..." Still in Wenyuan Pavilion, after the little fat man left, a goatee official in a scarlet robe held a quilt.

Regarding the terms recorded on the record, Zhang Juzheng asked with a hint of flattery.

"Ziwei be careful, this is what His Majesty said personally, how can it be false!" Faced with the goatee official's questioning words, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand to interrupt him before he could finish speaking.

"Isn't your Majesty's wisdom a blessing to the country? Why did Ziwei think that this matter was taught by others?" Unlike Zhang Juzheng who just interrupted the goatee official, the second assistant Lu Tiaoyang said to him with a serious face.

He opened his mouth and asked.

"Even if, as Ziwei said, His Majesty's words were taught by others, isn't the person who can come up with such regulations also a great talent in the country?" Before the goatee official named 'Ziwei' could speak,

, Lu Tiaoyang said in a cold tone again.

"Two adults, this official is just worried that someone wants to use this to undermine the New Deal. He has no other intentions. I would like to ask you two adults to warn you!" When the first and second assistants retorted at the same time, the goatee official couldn't help but look panicked.

.

"Forget it, Brother Qing and Ziwei are just too cautious!" In the end, Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister, waved his hand to relieve him.



"Who on earth can have such insight!" After his shift, Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting in the sedan chair, couldn't help but stroking his long beard and muttered to himself.

"You Qi, go check..."

Obviously, Zhang Juzheng was well aware of the little fat man's sudden 'enlightenment'. But he did not show his suspicion. Because no matter where the little fat man got this advice, at least
