Chapter 3 The Emperor is learning martial arts but not doing his job
The Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhang Hong, tilted her head and whispered to a palace maid for a few times before she said, "Well, Zhang Hong did not hesitate to kill the thief, so he is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. . ”
“In the future, I will go to Qianqing Palace to be a eunuch. If someone breaks into the palace again, I will protect the emperor.”
“Thank you, Queen Mother. , Thank you for your kindness! In the future, I will do my best to protect Your Majesty!" Zhang Hong knew that he was right in his bet. He refused to bandage and come to see the saint, not just to seek this great opportunity. ?
If not for this, how could he have jumped from the young eunuch of Langxia Family to the great eunuch of Qianqing Palace?
From now on, he no longer needs to be called a slave or a junior. When he meets the emperor, he can call himself a minister. The eunuch of the Qianqing Palace is an internal official of high rank and is qualified to be called a minister!
The reason why Empress Dowager Li whispered to the palace maid was because Zhang Hong looked familiar. She asked the palace maid next to her and found out that Zhang Hong was indeed an old member of Prince Yu's palace.
During the Jiajing period, Emperor Longqing was still Prince Yu. Zhang Hong was already working in Prince Yu’s Mansion when he was nine years old. Prince Yu ascended the throne and became emperor. Chen Hong and Feng Bao were so powerful that they did not take care of the old people. They suppressed the elderly people in Prince Yu's Mansion several times.
As a former member of Qiandi, Zhang Hong actually went to Langxia's house to live with some young eunuchs.
Empress Dowager Li made such a decision, naturally because Zhu Yijun asked for a reward, but also because she had realized that the power in Feng Bao's hands was really too great. If the assassination of the king this time was really Is it Feng Bao who wants to eliminate dissidents by assassinating the emperor?
There is Chen Hong who still lives in the palace, and there is a high arch outside the palace. They are Feng Bao's enemies in life and death.
An adult stabbed a ten-year-old child with a murder weapon, but the murder was not completed? Did he fail to kill, or did he not want to kill in the first place?
Playing against the little emperor is something Empress Dowager Li is determined not to allow!
Zhang Hong was seriously injured in order to catch the thief. He was also an old man in Prince Yu's palace, so he stayed in the palace for a long time and protected the emperor closely. It was extremely suitable for him.
Zhang Hong kowtowed and thanked him. The injury on his arm must be treated as soon as possible. He followed the imperial doctor to the side hall.
"The stitches hurt a little. Bite this piece of cloth and scream if it hurts." Doctor Chen handed Zhang Hong a piece of cloth and instructed.
Mr. Chen did not bring any anesthesia. The stitches were just needles and threads passing through the flesh. It was definitely not an ordinary pain.
During the whole process of stitching, Zhang Hong bit a piece of cloth. The pain was so painful that he was covered in sweat. The pain was so painful that he was about to bite through the piece of cloth. He didn't even utter a cry because he knew that he was not selling anything at this time. During the tragedy, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty were both talking in the inner hall, and he could not disturb them.
Zhang Hong knows clearly when to give up and when not to disturb.
Feng Bao had woken up. His face was extremely ugly. The Queen Mother and the Emperor still did not let him get up, so he could only kneel down.
The ranking of seats in this palace, who is the ancestor, is not based on seniority, but entirely based on closeness to the emperor. This eunuch of Qianqing Palace is the closest to the emperor.
Zhang Hong came face to face with a bloody arm and immediately turned into a eunuch of Qianqing Palace. How could Feng Bao not hate him? !
But Feng Bao can't have an attack. It's just Zhang Hong. How can Chen Hong be difficult to deal with? Wait until the matter of assassinating the king and killing the driver is over, and then take your time to think about it.
Half of Zhu Yijun's mind is on Feng Bao, and the other half is on Zhang Hong. After all, this man is as ruthless as Feng Bao. That arm dripping with blood is really... Shocking.
After waiting for a while and not hearing any screams, Zhu Yijun knew that Zhang Hong had excellent temperament, skills, and patience. The key was that Zhang Hong knew the priorities.
"Tishuai, who are the bad guys?" The frailty in Queen Mother Li's body faded away, and her eyes became extraordinarily sharp.
Empress Dowager Li was originally an ordinary maid in Prince Yu's palace. In a few years, she worked hard to become the empress dowager with the emblem of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Longqing was prosperous, and Empress Dowager Li was exhausted mentally and physically. Her child was assassinated, and she was panicked. At this time After coming back to his senses, he took out the Queen Mother's airs.
At this time, she was not her mother, but the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xixiao thought about it again and again, then bowed his head and said: "I came in a hurry and asked for a brief question. This man said that he was from Nanbing (Qi Jiajun), under the command of General Qi Jiguang Qi. I... don't believe it."
< br>Zhu Yijun frowned, someone from the Qi family army entered the palace to assassinate?
Zhu Xixiao, both as a commander-in-chief and as an honorary noble, is a rather embarrassing existence. The honorary rank has been declining over the years. With the erosion of the Beijing camp, the authority of the Fifth Army Governor's Office has been transferred to the Ministry of War, and the honorary rank no longer has much say in the court. .
As the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, because Dongchang became powerful, the power of Jinyiwei was constantly transferred to Dongchang.
Zhu Xixiao’s identity is double embarrassment and embarrassment.
Originally, Zhu Xixiao didn't want to say anything. He had already fulfilled his responsibilities after being caught. According to the usual practice, the criminal would naturally be interrogated by Dongchang. As a Tiqi, Zhu Xixiao had already fulfilled his duties.
But as the last trace of dignity of the honorable noble, Zhu Xixiao still expressed his attitude slightly, the assassin is not Qi Jiajun.
Empress Dowager Li asked: "Why doesn't Commander Ti believe you?"
Zhu Xixiao bowed his head and said: "The Qi family army did not dig into the dog hole. If the Qi family army had come face to face, eunuch Zhang Hong would have died long ago."< br>
Qi Jiajun’s reputation for being good at fighting spread far and wide, and he was the pinnacle of Dinghai during the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli years.
The Qi Jiajun attacked the Japanese pirates in the south and resisted the barbarians in the north. The Qi Jiajun was famous for its strict discipline. Any sergeant who had any behavior that disturbed the people during the expedition would be beheaded in public and would not be tolerated.
They are truly a heroic army in this world!
Such a brave man, an indomitable man, got into a dog hole, held a murderous weapon and was entangled with a eunuch and couldn't escape. With such cartilage and such skills, Zhu Xixiao did not believe that the villain was Qi Jiajun.
Empress Dowager Li didn't believe it either. During the late Jiajing and Longqing years, word of the Qi's army's fierce battle record reached the court. It was one of the few times when her husband was smiling, and Empress Dowager Li clearly remembered it.
If the Qi family army is this kind of thing, how can they pacify the Japanese and reject the captives?
"Then let this case be handed over to Tishuai for interrogation." Empress Dowager Li nodded. Duke Chengguo was one of the five hereditary princes of the Ming Dynasty. He has always been loyal. Since Zhu Xixiao has arrested the bad guy, This case was naturally handed over to Tiqi for interrogation.
"I obey the order!" Zhu Xixiao looked at Feng Bao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and finally accepted the order to run the errand.
Feng Bao has always been cautious and smart. Perhaps something happened in the palace this time, and the Queen Mother finally no longer trusts Feng Bao as usual.
"Mother, my child wants to learn martial arts." Zhu Yijun looked at the tall and round Zhu Xixiao, his big eyes flashed, and he looked at Queen Mother Li eagerly and said.
Empress Dowager Li touched Zhu Yijun's head and said: "Do you know that practicing martial arts is extremely hard? Can you endure the hardship? It's better not to learn it."
Zhu Yijun was quite satisfied He said with confidence: "Mother, my child once heard that I, Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, will soon conquer the world, and his power will rule the country. Emperor Chengzuwen will be the emperor on horseback. He personally conquered the Tatars five times, and his bravery is extraordinary. My child will succeed to the throne." We should follow the example of our ancestors."
"If we encounter such an assassination again, I will not seek to kill the enemy, but only seek to protect myself."
"My child, don't be afraid of hardship!" The emperor studied martial arts instead of doing his job.
If it were normal, Zhu Yijun's proposal to learn martial arts would definitely attract reprimand from Empress Dowager Li.
But today, Zhu Yijun first used the methods of his ancestors, which was the highest political correctness of the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with the assassination, the little emperor had no choice but to be arrested. At this time, he made the request to learn martial arts, and it was a matter of course.
Zhu Yijun really wants to learn martial arts. Of course, he hopes to tear out a small hole in the cocoon of fog and information and touch the military power.
Does Emperor Ning have any kind? Those with strong soldiers and horses live there.
Empress Dowager Li thought for a moment, looked at Zhu Xixiao and said, "Tishuai, would you like to teach the emperor martial arts?"
Zhu Xixiao doesn't want to, not at all!
Swords have no eyes. Once the emperor is injured, bruised, knocked or touched, even if Her Majesty does not blame him, the Queen Mother can understand that the ministers in the court can drown Zhu Xixiao with their spit. Even Chengguo's government will be implicated.
The honorable face of the Ming Dynasty has long been in the quagmire, and anyone can step on it.
The emperor wanted to neglect his duties, but Zhu Xixiao didn't.
"The Queen Mother is generous. Her Majesty has a purpose and the Queen Mother has an order. However, I, Governor Tiqi, have complicated official duties. There is also a major case of assassinating the king and killing the driver to be investigated. I am worried that there is something ineffective. I may be in trouble. Competent." Zhu Xixiao chose to decline.
"Mother, don't embarrass Ti Shuai." Zhu Yijun shook his head after hearing this, showing a slightly bitter smile, and looked at Queen Mother Li with regret, his eyes looking as aggrieved as possible. .
Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhu Yijun's innocent eyes, and then looked at the injury on Zhu Yijun's forehead. How frightened would her son be when facing that gangster?
If the child hadn't been alert and opened his eyes before the assassination, wouldn't the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who had been on the throne for less than seven months, be dead? !
Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhu Xixiao and said in a very solemn tone: "Tishuai, the ministers of the court are dictatorial and good at governing. They have taken away all the power and fortune of the court and are not allowed to take charge. The three of us, mother and son, are frightened. , Nowadays, even the emperor has been harassed by assassins. He has been favored by the emperor. Can Tishuai have to shirk the blame for such a trivial matter?"
Zhu Xixiao's expression changed, he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: " I don’t dare!”
I don’t dare to refuse, it’s not that I don’t want to refuse. Zhu Xixiao made it very clear that Wu Xun has already declined. As the younger brother of Duke Cheng, Zhu Xixiao will naturally participate as little as possible in such a big event. , but the Queen Mother questioned him face to face, and Zhu Xixiao could no longer refuse.
If you refuse again, the civil servants will be labeled as unfaithful, unfilial, and inconsiderate, and it will be even more difficult for the Duke of Chengguo.
"Then from tomorrow onwards, the emperor will learn martial arts from Tishuai. This matter has been decided." Empress Dowager Li thought for a moment and gave the order. If her son encounters a bad person again, he must at least run away. opportunity.
Zhu Xixiao could only accept the order.
Zhu Xixiao left with Tiqi. Doctor Chen bandaged Zhang Hong and gave some instructions before leaving with Tiqi. Apart from the palace maids, only Li was left in the Qianqing Palace. The Queen Mother, Zhu Yijun, Zhang Hong and Feng Bao kneeling on the ground.
Empress Dowager Li leaned back on her chair and looked at Feng Bao. After looking at Feng Bao for a long time, she said: "Feng Dajue." With every step and every step, the palace walls are high and deep. How did this gangster walk into the Qianqing Palace step by step? Of course there was an insider in the palace. Who is he? Feng Dajun is the governor of Dongchang, Beizhen. When the Fusi Yamen is trying the case, Feng Daxuan should not go there. It is only right to find out the criminal." "It's clear."
"What do Feng Daxuan think?"
When Feng Bao heard that the Queen Mother had filed the case, he knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth and said, "What the Queen Mother said is reasonable. I will accept it." Supervise with all your strength! Even if you dig deep into the ground, you have to find these scoundrels and give them an explanation to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!” He's going to die a violent death." Empress Dowager Li nodded and waved her hand, signaling Feng Bao to step down and go on errands.
Zhu Yijun said nothing and smacked the words "Empress Dowager Li died unexpectedly". The meaning was very clear. Feng Bao had to do this errand, and the spy must be alive. Once the spy in the palace died unexpectedly, Feng Bao Determination cannot escape the relationship.
If he fails to handle this job again, will Feng Bao still be alive?
"The Empress Dowager Rensheng has arrived!" A small yellow gate shouted loudly with a drake's voice.
Zhu Yijun looked at the door, Queen Mother Rensheng.
At this time, there were two queen mothers in the Ming Dynasty. One was the little emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager Cisheng, Li Shi; the other was the little emperor's aunt, Empress Dowager Rensheng, Chen Shi.
The Chen family was the step-concubine of Emperor Longqing. After Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, she became Empress Chen. After Emperor Longqing became famous, in accordance with the practice of the Ming Dynasty, he was given the title of Rensheng emblem and revered as the empress dowager.
The Chen family had no descendants, because although Chen was beautiful, she was not favored. Instead, she was kicked out of Kunning Palace and moved to another palace for admonishing Emperor Longqing.
The most important thing is that Queen Mother Chen has no children. This is the biggest cornerstone for the peaceful coexistence of the two queen mothers.
"Meet the Queen Mother." All the maids and eunuchs hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
The Empress Dowager Rensheng, Chen, hurriedly walked in with her skirt in hand. As soon as she entered the door, she came to the little emperor. After looking at it carefully, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Except for the forehead, Are there any other injuries? "
"Sister, has the emperor asked the imperial physician to see it?" Queen Mother Chen looked at Queen Mother Li and asked anxiously.
Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, “Sister, I’ve seen it, it’s okay.”
Mrs. Chen breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay. God bless the emperor, God bless the Ming Dynasty."
"The injury on my forehead is almost healed, so I just knocked it." Zhu Yijun stood up straight and said: "The villain has been captured by Tishuai. Mother has ordered Feng Daban to find the internal agent. The case will be clear soon. Mother does not need to worry."
The Empress Dowager Chen is the legitimate mother and calls her mother. , Empress Dowager Li called her biological mother mother. This was still the Ming Dynasty. Counting back to the Song Dynasty, the prince could only call his biological mother sister.
Zhu Yijun briefly explained the situation, and the queen mothers of the two palaces began to communicate, guessing who was behind the scenes. The speculations went on and on, but there was no answer.
High arch? Zhang Juzheng? Feng Bao?
Who else?
