Chapter 215 Longqing has come for six years
On the first day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Longqing, Emperor Longqing, who had not appeared for almost half a year, finally accepted the celebration gifts of civil and military officials and the envoys of the Four Barbarians in the Imperial Palace.
But his situation is not optimistic. Even though he is separated by the high Jintai, the ministers can see the emperor's appearance, his face is sallow, and he looks overly indulgent. However, he cannot say unlucky words on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone can only praise the saints and health against their will, as if they are as sunny as the sky.
But Longqing had no interest in the flattery of his ministers, and announced the order to dismiss all officials from giving him a banquet. Each of them gave him a New Year's money, and with the help of Meng Chong, he retired from the court.
Back to the long-lost Ganqing Palace, he waived the congratulations from his concubines and eunuchs, and lay depressed on the imperial bed, no one saw him, and he didn't want to say a word.
It was not until Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng came to ask for a meeting that he could barely cheer up and let Master Xuan Zhang come in.
Zhang Juzheng came for two things, one was to thank him. On the New Year's Day just now, Emperor Longqing issued an order to promote Gao Gong to become the Grand Secretary of the Zhongji Palace, and add him to the crown prince's tutor and young wife, all of whom were the same as before.
Secondly, it is also the most important thing to represent all officials to pay New Year's greetings to His Highness the Prince. It is said that all officials went to Wenhua Palace to celebrate the New Year's greetings to the Prince, but the prince has not yet left the house and lives with Concubine Li in Yikun Palace. Therefore, Emperor Longqing issued an order to represent all officials to come to the Qing Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Prince before the prince leaves the house.
In theory, the Prime Minister is not absent from such a thing. However, the birthday party storm at the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year made Gao Jiao in shame. Not only did he criticize himself in public, he had to apologize afterwards, saying that he was not strict in control and lost the face of the court, and asked the emperor to allow the old minister to resign and go home.
Of course, Emperor Longqing had to issue an order to comfort him, and he was not given an official position. But Gaoge Lao kept in mind the lessons of the Pavilion Tide in the first year of Longqing, and only one order was issued, so as not to recall him. In order to avoid someone calling him shameless again.
So this New Year's Day dynasty, the old man did not show up, so naturally he would not appear at this time.
"Master Zhang hasn't eaten yet, right? I'm just right to have some breakfast with me." After Zhang Juzheng finished watching the seat, Long Qing ordered Meng Chong, "Send the meal quickly. Go and clean up the intestines of the donkey that you killed in the morning and make a plate of large intestine sashimi. I enjoy it with Master Zhang. I'm not at ease with other people's skills, and it's too clean and I don't have any taste."
"Your Majesty, look, the taste is definitely strong!" Meng Chong responded with a flushed face, rolled up his sleeves and left. He was an expert in criticizing the emperor for his amateurs and tidying up the donkey intestines. Back then, he was favored by Emperor Longqing by relying on his large intestine sashimi, and he stepped into the Silijian in one step, achieving a leap in life.
Zhang Juzheng was secretly nauseated. The taste of this old Beijing was too heavy. He could barely accept the stewed sausage. The large intestine sashimi was really... and it was a life-threatening person.
At this time, the palace servant reported that the prince came to greet His Majesty.
The nine-year-old little fat man has now become the Plath version of the little fat man. Although Zhu Yijun is arrogant outside and takes off his tiles, he immediately becomes a well-behaved child as soon as he enters the emperor's sight.
The prince first meticulously greeted his father and greeted Master Zhang respectfully.
On behalf of all officials, Zhang Juzheng kowtowed the prince and wished him good health and academic success in the new year.
After this red tape was over, Long Qing opened his hand and held the little fat boy who hadn't seen for several months in his arms. He looked carefully: "Hey, why does this child still have dark circles? Is there someone beat him?"
Master Zhang, who was holding Wu Zi up, felt an arrow in his knee and almost knelt on the ground again.
"No, who dares to touch Erchen's finger? Erchen is staying up late to watch the comic..." The little fat man almost said something and quickly changed his words: "Uh, it's caused by reading it at night with a light and reading it at night with a light."
"Oh, is that?" Long Qing couldn't help but be surprised. He was late in his marriage and started studying in his teens, so he had poor knowledge and felt that studying was the most painful thing in the world. So when it came to the prince's home and study, he could also delay it. Until the little fat man was nine years old, he couldn't stand the perseverance of the ministers and agreed to give the prince a crown in February this year and study in March.
Unexpectedly, the little fat man actually started to teach himself here. When did the old Zhu family have such a learning prince?
This made Emperor Longqing interested and asked with a smile: What book are you reading? You are so hardworking? It’s not a villain’s book, right?”
"My son is reading "Tongjian"." Zhu Yijun replied seriously.
"Oh? Is it?" Long Qing couldn't help but feel ashamed, thinking that I hadn't even passed a few pages, and I only heard some talk about the gentlemen when I was secretly hiding. "Why don't you start with "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Thousand Character Text" first?"
"When those sons were seven years old, my companions taught me to memorize them." The prince said proudly.
"Is that so? Uh, it seems yes..." Long Qing was startled first, and then remembered that Concubine Li said this last year or the previous year. The emperor became more and more surprised and said, "Have you read the Four Books?"
"The big partner said that after those things were left behind, the Hanlin scholars who had a good education would definitely teach him better than him, so they would not............ substitute." Zhu Yijun scratched his cheeks like a bun and said, "He also said that "Tongjian" was written by the ancient prime minister for the emperor and the prince. When the son minister was young, he would read it. Even if he didn't understand the principles, it would be very useful in the future."
"Oh? Master Zhang told me this way in Qiandi, right?" Long Qing looked at Zhang Juzheng in more surprise and said, "I didn't expect that dead slave, oh no, Feng Bao actually has such experience?"
"Eunuch Feng is well-educated and has a good personality. He talks about the officials who are all very outstanding even if he looks at the court." Zhang Juzheng hurriedly responded respectfully.
"Well, he is indeed not much like others." Long Qing nodded reluctantly.
"However, the "Tongjian" talks about military and national affairs and the way to be a king. Is it a bit early to read His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" But he heard Zhang Juzheng's words change.
"I can understand it, it's quite interesting. If I really don't understand, you can ask my partner." The prince said shamelessly.
"Oh, then how about you bravely take the exam for your highness?" Zhang Juzheng said with a faint smile.
"Okay." Long Qing's eyes lit up and he held his hands and said to the prince: "If you can answer, let Feng Bao continue to follow you. If you can't answer, I will send him to the ancestral tomb, and you will be honestly waiting for you to study in the cabinet."
"Come on, whoever is afraid of whom." The little fat man was full of courage.
"Then, how can you explain this sentence in the first sentence of "Tongjian", "The first sentence of "Yongshe Tige" is ", and the mysterious and mysterious are buried"," so Zhang Juzheng asked.
"That is to say, this section 'begins in the year of Wuyin and ends in the year of Renzi'." The prince replied without hesitation.
"Oh?" Long Qing looked at Master Zhang with a confused look on his face. Seeing Zhang Juzheng nodding, he couldn't help but praise: "My son is really knowledgeable!"
In fact, this is just a matter of converting the chronological method of the Sui Star to the chronological method of the Ganzhi Ding, which is copied and memorized by rote. As an imperial teacher, Zhang Juzheng certainly knew that Emperor Longqing didn't know. It was the most appropriate to use it to make the emperor feel unconscious and not easily missed.
"I wonder where Your Highness has read?" Zhang Juzheng asked again.
"I just finished reading the weekly diary." The prince replied.
"My highness, 'I heard that the emperor's duties are greater than etiquette, and etiquette is greater than part, and the division is greater than reputation', so what should I do?" Zhang Juzheng asked afterwards.
"I heard that the most important thing in the responsibilities of the emperor is to maintain ethics, and the most important thing in ethics is to distinguish status, and the most important thing in distinguishing status is to correct the status." Zhu Yijun answered fluently.
Zhang Juzheng then asked a few famous sayings and aphorisms in the weekly diary, such as "Only names and tools cannot be faked", "The sages are just like craftsmen's use of wood". The prince explained them one by one, and it seemed that under Feng Bao's education, he had fully understood these contents.
This made Zhang Juzheng admire him and said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is such a genius! This is my blessing in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, Eunuch Feng, as the enlightenment teacher of the Crown Prince, is also very competent."
"Yeah." Long Qing's face, which had been very gloomy, finally had a smile. Long Yan said happily: "I originally planned to let Feng Bao get out after the New Year. For the sake of his contribution to teaching the prince, let him leave him first. But since he is so good at teaching the prince, he will let him study with the prince in the future and meddle in other people's business. Leave the Imperial Horse Superintendent to others to take care of him."
The last sentence is about Meng Chong who came back from the meal.
Meng Chong quickly responded and said that he would do it if he turned around. Although he did not see Feng Bao fall as he wished, he took away his military power and severely dispelled his arrogance.
If you ask a chef to be the inner minister, it is a complete chess. After all, what bad intentions can a chef have, right?
Emperor Longqing praised the prince again. Knowing that the child was not used to the large intestine sashimi, he gave him a set of donkey meat firewood and asked him to take it back for food.
When Zhu Yijun came out of Qianqing Hall, an anxious Eunuch Feng emerged from the tiger cave outside.
"How is the prince? Did Your Majesty praise you?"
"Of course, I'll let you concentrate on playing with me in the future, and don't worry about the matter of the Royal Horse Prison." The prince said proudly: "I did what I said, what you promised me?"
"Official office, all!" Eunuch Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded happily and said, "Anime, Coke, popcorn, you must know as much as you want."
Because the prince's weight exceeded the standard, the imperial concubine ordered him to eat less snacks, and he was not allowed to stay in the warm room to watch movies all day, so he ordered Feng Bao to put away all these bad things.
Little did I know that if the prince was allowed, he might be tired of it in a few years. After all, the happiness of the fat man is not worth mentioning compared to the current charge.
But the imperial concubine's ban, okay, the prince's addiction is invincible... Feng Bao was like holding his life.
"I also want the cloth man of the green snake and white snake!" The prince glared at Feng Bao and reminded: "Wait for the size of the body, sleep with me!"
"This..." Feng Bao was embarrassed at first, which made the imperial concubine know that the prince would sleep with a big long insect every night. Is there any good thing he had?
Seeing that the prince was about to change his face, he had to grit his teeth and nodded, "Oh, okay!"
At worst, I can hide it every morning and take it out for the prince tonight. If the empress discovers it, she will say it is her own...
"Go back quickly." Zhu Yijun sat on Feng Bao's back, urging as he chewed the donkey meat and fired, "I can't wait to watch this year's New Year's film!"
"Hey." Feng Bao struggled to carry the dead prince and returned to Yikun Palace with a trembling and trembling return to Yikun Palace.
However, he was in a very happy mood. I would like to thank Mr. Zhao later for helping him overcome this great difficulty.
Mr. Zhao is the son-in-law of our family!
