Chapter 33: Wolf, Tiger, Dragon
After hearing about Zhang Juzheng’s affair with Chen Wu, Empress Dowager Li stood up, but remained silent for a long time with a surprised look on her face, and finally sat back in her chair.
Empress Dowager Chen, Empress Dowager Rensheng of Cining Palace, was very happy when she saw Empress Dowager Li worried about gains and losses.
Care leads to chaos, and lack of desire leads to strength.
Empress Dowager Li’s son is sitting on the throne. Empress Dowager Chen has no children, but she can see it more clearly.
Empress Dowager Li's various worries and doubts, in the final analysis, are not in the outer court, not Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong; not in the inner court, not in Feng Bao and Zhang Hong;
The key is in the one who is On the little emperor who was clenching his teeth and gaiting.
If the little emperor makes a difference, the Ming Dynasty will have a clear sky. If the little emperor does not make a difference, the Ming Dynasty will have no hope, and everything will be lost.
Is the little emperor promising or not?
"Is it a good idea to deny the wolf to the tiger?" Empress Dowager Li looked at the little emperor standing at the stake, his face covered with sweat, and became even more worried. Gao Gong was the wolf who had been beaten away. The tiger began to show its fangs again.
Queen Mother Chen said quite nonchalantly: "I don't know what my sister is afraid of. Our emperor is a dragon."
"Whether it's a wolf or a tiger, what can I do? Don't worry."< br>
Empress Dowager Li would be confused if she cared a little. Regardless of whether Zhang Juzheng was a tiger or not, even if he really was a tiger, so what?
The emperor is a true dragon and is not afraid of such wolf-like ministers at all.
Is the little emperor a real dragon?
The Queen Mother Chen thought so.
Empress Dowager Chen seemed a little unsure. She turned to look at Zhu Yijun, and then showed a reassuring smile. She was sure that she was right. She continued to knock the melon seeds in her hand and said, "Your Majesty, He is very perseverant and has great ideas, and cannot be bullied by Zhang Yuanfu."
Looking at the serious look on the little emperor's face, the Empress Dowager knew that he must be promising and must be a true dragon.
Those who are cruel to themselves are cruel people.
The Queen Mother Chen stretched lazily. Since the case of assassinating the king and killing the driver, the performance of the little emperor has become more and more reassuring. Those honorary guards and sabers with swords, None of them are as strong as the emperor's character.
The Emperor and Zhang Juzheng were talking about the banquet, and Empress Dowager Chen also read it. Zhang Juzheng was occasionally asked about it and could only speak vaguely.
Empress Dowager Chen’s expectations and confidence in the young emperor are much greater than Empress Dowager Li’s certainty.
Lu Wang Zhu Yixuan was lying on a stool, holding on to the back of the chair, watching his brother working hard. At the age of four, he could just finish his sentence. He pointed at the little emperor and said: "Mother, brother What are you doing?"
Empress Dowager Li touched Zhu Yili's little head lovingly and said with a smile: "Brother, you are practicing martial arts."
Empress Dowager Chen looked at Li. The Queen Mother's appearance did not say much. In contrast to her strict demands on the young emperor, Queen Mother Li was too doting on King Xiao Lu, even to the point of indulgence. If anything was broken, Queen Mother Li would only do it. He angrily scolded the palace officials for not taking good care of him.
But if the little emperor breaks something, Queen Mother Li will only scold the emperor for his misconduct.
Zhu Yijun finished his work and looked at Luo Sigong. Luo Sigong, who was caught by Zhu Xixiao yesterday when he wanted to be lazy, was extra serious today. Even though his tired calves were shaking, he had no intention of being lazy.
This is progress. As long as he is willing to make progress, Zhu Yijun is allowed to do it again and again, but he is not allowed to do it again.
After finishing his work, Zhu Yijun showed a bright and cheerful smile again, walked to the empress dowagers of the two palaces, bowed and saluted: "Mother, mother."
"Sit down and have a rest. This time My head is so tired that I'm sweating. The weather has gotten warmer, and even the peach and pear blossoms are in bloom. Tomorrow is twenty-three, so I don't have to study, or I should take a rest from my martial arts for a day." Queen Mother Chen pulled out a stool and put a chair on it. A bowl of rock sugar pear water was placed in front of the little emperor. While the temperature was just right, he replenished his water.
On March 69, the emperor took a break from studying. Zhu Yijun could take a break from studying for nine days a month. If according to the Queen Mother Chen's words, if he took nine days off from thirty days, why would he practice martial arts?
The court discussion in Wenhua Palace will not stop for one day.
If he complied with Zhang Juzheng's "Chen Wu Shi Shu", Zhu Yijun would have to go to the Wenhua Hall every day to listen to politics, and he would not be able to rest for a day.
This is the first article of Chen Wu Shi Shu, the emperor listens to the government at home.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "Thank you, mother, for working so hard. I can't stop practicing martial arts for a day."
I, Zhu Yijun, love learning!
Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao. Feng Bao shook his head helplessly. The emperor was obviously asking Chen Wu about Shishu. Feng Bao could only shake his head to express that Queen Mother Li was still hesitant.
Of course Queen Mother Li would hesitate.
Now that he has agreed, will Zhang Juzheng, a fierce tiger, push his limits?
"Today Mr. Yuan Fu talked about "The Legend of Emperor Jian Tu Shuo" and talked about the story of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty and Guo Ziyi." Zhu Yijun was still sunny and cheerful, seeming to be talking about his studies.
"Guo Ziyi's son Guo Ai married Princess Shengping, the daughter of Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty. Once, Guo Ai and Princess Shengping quarreled. The princess angrily said: My father is the emperor, and you actually contradict me."
"Guo Ai said: The reason why your father is the emperor is because my father doesn’t want to be the emperor!”
“Said: Is your father the emperor?”
The Empress Dowager Chen! He was shocked and asked: "Why is this Guo Yan so arrogant? An Neng is talking so nonsense? Isn't this trying to harm Guo Ziyi?"
Zhu Yijun continued: "Princess Shengping drove back to the palace and reported to her father Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty said: "You don't know, it is true. If Guo Ziyi really wanted to be the emperor, this world would no longer be Li Tang." "You don't know this, so he wants to be the emperor. Is there anything wrong with your family in the world?”
Empress Dowager Li frowned and asked after a moment of silence: “What happened next?”
“When Guo Ziyi heard about it, he sent his son to Guo Wenxiu was sent to Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty and asked Emperor Daizong to punish him. However, Tang Daizong said: Children quarrel cannot be true. If they are not stupid or deaf, they are not a family man. How can they listen to the words of their children in the boudoir? "
" Emperor Daizong pardoned Guo Ai for his gaffe, but Guo Ziyi still scolded his son Guo Ai. It was not until Princess Shengping interceded that Guo Ai was let go. "
Guo Ai said such bold words, My father is not the emperor, so your father is the emperor. Translation: Give him face and call him emperor. If you don't give him face, let the emperor and Li Tang be buried together.
Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty just made a fuss and ignored his children's words in the boudoir.
Zhang Juzheng talks about this paragraph, mainly talking about the trust between Tang Daizong and Guo Ziyi. It expresses an ideal political environment, where the king is a saint and the ministers are virtuous.
Of course, there are always some small shadows under the radiance of such kings, saints and ministers.
It’s not that Tang Daizong never thought about taking action against Guo Ziyi, who had great achievements and power in the world.
In the spring of the fourth year of the Dali calendar, in the first month of the first month, Yu Chaoen, the eunuch of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty, invited Guo Ziyi to visit Zhangjing Temple with him. This was the first time that Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty tested Guo Ziyi after the Anshi Rebellion and the peace of the world. En is responsible for the execution.
Guo Ziyi's men were afraid that Yu Chaoen would be unfavorable to Guo Ziyi, so more than 300 soldiers and armored retinues went to travel with them. Guo Ziyi dismissed his men and took a few servants and the eunuch Yu Chaoen to travel to Zhangjing Temple.
Yu Chaoen died as a traitor in the end.
After Tang Daizong died, Tang Dezong ascended the throne and respected Guo Ziyi as 'Shangfu'. Dong Zhuo had also been 'Shangfu', and Guo Ziyi used the name of Shangfu to recreate the Li Tang royal family and served highly One generation has spent twenty years as a person in danger for the world.
Zhu Yijun stopped here and waited for Queen Mother Li to figure it out.
The Anshi Rebellion was a turning point for the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and Guo Ziyi made great contributions in pacifying the Anshi Rebellion.
During the Gengxu Incident, the northern captives moved southward, and the attacks lasted for twelve years from the 32nd year of Jiajing to the 44th year of Jiajing, which seriously damaged the vitality of the Ming Dynasty. Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng pushed for the tribute of Anda. This It is the contribution to the stability of the border areas.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and there were many vassal towns. With Guo Ziyi's presence, the vassal towns did not dare to rebel and learn from An Lushan Shi Siming.
The Ming Dynasty was also half buried in the earth, and its country was in turmoil. Even the northern captives who were driven around the world by Emperor Chengzu could not be defeated.
Tang Daizong could accommodate Guo Ziyi, and Zhu Yijun could tolerate Zhang Juzheng.
Everything is for the resurrection of the Ming Dynasty, everything is for the sake of making the Ming Dynasty great again!
Empress Dowager Li thought for a long time, a little distractedly. The little emperor mentioned this matter specifically, and naturally it was about "Chen Wu Shi Shu". Empress Dowager Li finally sighed and said: "That's all. , that’s all, I just wronged the emperor.”
“I don’t feel wronged, I just find it interesting.” Zhu Yijun still smiled brightly and continued to talk about what he learned today.
It is not surprising that Empress Dowager Li agreed. Zhang Juzheng is not Gao Gong. Behind Gao Gong stands a Jin Party that takes privileged economy as its core interest and is closely linked by in-laws and fellow villagers. Regardless of Gao Gong, Whether Gao Gong wants to push the envelope further, Jin Dang will push Gao Gong forward.
As for Zhang Juzheng, he had no relatives by marriage or fellow villagers.
The most important thing is that Zhang Juzheng’s Chen Wu Shi Shu did not ask for the dismissal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies or pull out the fangs of the young emperor, nor did it restrict the emperor’s approval of memorials. While asking the emperor, he also required the officials in the capital Made the request.
"Go farm!" After Zhu Yijun finished answering today's homework, he ran away in a hurry, planning to go to Jingshan.
Farming is a top priority and must be looked at every day.
"Brother, take me there." Zhu Yirui shouted loudly, as if he wanted to play together, but Queen Mother Li picked up the four-year-old baby and did not let him follow.
Zhu Yijun is going to open a kiln today, or to be more precise, he is going to raise seedlings and conduct special research on the planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes. He doesn’t care about the rest, so he can plant them first.
If sweet potatoes and potatoes are grown alive, the people will have enough to eat, and then they will have strength, and only with enough strength can they conquer the sky!
"Meet your majesty, how do you do with your majesty?" Xu Zhenming led a few old farmers to salute. Although these old farmers have no experience in planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, these old farmers were recruited from the private sector and are the best at planting. Water chestnut farmers.
Why is Zhu Yijun obsessed with potatoes and sweet potatoes, and why does he have to put down his arrogance as the emperor to do this?
Because under the system of the Ming Dynasty, only the feudal princes and the people could rebel. If the people had no food, they would break into the capital and smash the emperor's head. After feeding the people, the people would not He came to Beijing, tore off the emperor's head and kicked it as a ball.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "An, Pingsheng."
"Your Majesty, sprouted and green potatoes must not be eaten. They are poisonous and can really kill people." Xu Zhenming reminded Your Majesty, sprouted potatoes are poisonous. If the emperor eats sprouted potatoes, even if he gets upset, it will be a big deal.
Xu Zhenming was the person who least wanted anything to happen to the emperor. He was a staunch representative of rejuvenating the country through farming. If something happened to the emperor eating potatoes and others would be gone, all the land reclamation and farming would be wasted.
Zhu Yijun nodded, the Ming emperor had extravagant officials, who were little eunuchs who were specialized in testing for poison before serving food.
"What work should we do today?" Zhu Yijun looked at the completed fire room. Under Feng Daxuan's strict orders, more than a hundred eunuchs worked overtime to cover the fire room, even the glass. Put it away.
Xu Zhenming said quite accurately: "Nurt the seedlings."
Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and eunuch in the palace, went to Xiaohuangmen to give Xu Zhenming a message, don't do all the dirty work. The work is left to His Majesty.
Zhang Juzheng, the great scholar of Zhongji Hall in Wenyuan Pavilion outside the palace, specially sent the chief steward You Qi of the palace to pass a message to Xu Zhenming. The wedding ceremony was mainly a gesture. The emperor listened to politics and gave banquets in the morning. , I have to practice martial arts in the afternoon, which is already extremely hard.
Xu Zhenming understands and implements the spirit!
Actually, I want to say that only the common people rebelled in the Ming Dynasty, but when I think about King Yan becoming the emperor and Zhu Yunwen missing, oh, I can only add the vassal king. Pursuing reading is really important!
