It was very dark, and Wu He returned to the newly purchased house not far from Donghuamen in a four-person sedan chair. He saw two people standing at the door to welcome him. Looking intently, one of them was his housekeeper. It's called Ma Danian.The other couldn't see his face clearly, and he only felt that he had a class.Seeing him get off the sedan chair, Ma Danian hurriedly came forward, and after saluting, he leaned closer and whispered: "Cousin, we brought him here." "Really, let's talk about it first." Wu He said that he had already crossed the threshold, and Ma Danian led that person into the house after him.Wu Hesu is a new rich man, and he has already joined the ranks of the big family. The head of the family, the ring maids, the waiters, and the waiters also have more than a dozen. He also invited his cousin Ma Danian from his hometown in Zhending Mansion to be his housekeeper.In the capital city where the gentry are full of nobles and nobles, this "Wu Mansion" can be regarded as beginning to take shape.As soon as Wu He entered the living room, servants came up to undress him to show him a seat, and maidservants hurriedly came up to make tea.Ma Danian also greeted the guest to take a seat. Wu He took a closer look at the guest through the light, and saw that he was about fifty years old, with a small nose and eyes, and a big mouth that leaked air. Wearing a navy blue taoist gown made of Suozi cloth, and wearing a Cheng Zi scarf on his head, he has a sloppy appearance.

"This is Mr. Hu, known as Daxian." Ma Danian introduced with a smile. "I've heard about Mr. Hu's name for a long time. Although Wu He said that, he was muttering in his heart. "I heard that you are a miracle doctor?" "It's not a miracle doctor, it's just that there are a few secret recipes handed down from the ancestors, which can make people recover." Hu Daxian was modest, but his tone was arrogant.There is the kind of vigor of "relying on Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea, who can give up me".What kind of fairy Hu Daxian is, and why did he come to Wuhe's mansion? There is a story: it is said that Wuhe has become a brand of internal officials and supervisory affairs, because "selling officials" suddenly became rich. Thinking about lust", this Wu He was originally a hozen gentleman, once he had power, he would think about the pleasures of eating and drinking for men and women.He played against Zhao Jinfeng, the head of the Shanggong Bureau in the palace, and lived a "husband and wife" life in the dark.He has never touched a woman before, so he is quite at ease.Now that I hold a beautiful young woman stripped naked in my arms, but I can't seriously deal with that matter, it goes without saying that I feel frustrated and annoyed.I only hate that when I was castrated when I was young, I couldn't recover, and I dreamed that my penis could stand up suddenly.Ma Danian knew what he was thinking, so he secretly looked around to see if there was such a "miracle doctor" who could make him recover.The hard work paid off, and after a few months, I finally found one in Runzhou, so Ma Danian went in person to bring this Hu Daxian to Beijing.After being in the snobbery field for a long time, Wu He was used to judging people by their appearance. He felt that the "miracle doctor" in front of him could not find a trace of immortality in him, and thought that he would not run into a charlatan who was lucky, so he tried to test him out. :

"What is the magic effect of Mr. Hu's ancestral secret recipe?" Hu Daxian held up two fingers, and replied quite conceitedly: "Just two words, build momentum!" "Building momentum?" "Yes, build momentum!" Hu Daxian laughed, "The effect of our secret recipe is to build momentum without momentum, but to grow momentum with momentum." "Hey, you are a hundred bags!" Wu He teased. Ma Danian interjected: "Cousin, Hu Daxian has this ability, we have seen it before." "Really? Mr. Hu, you also let us see." "This living room is not a place for performances, you have to find a secret room."

Seeing Hu Daxian's godlike appearance, Wu He immediately led Hu Daxian to an empty house out of curiosity.Hu Daxian bolted the door and said to Wu He: "Eunuch Wu, let me show you something special." "What a surprise." Hu Daxian smiled slyly, took off his Taoist robe and took off his trousers, revealing his buttocks.He pointed to his penis and asked Wu He: "What do you think it looks like?" "A soft silkworm." Wu He smiled. "Look, I let it change, you call one two three." Wu He stared at Hu Daxian's crotch without taking his eyes off, and shouted word by word, and just counted to three, he saw that penis really stood up.The hard poking is truly majestic.Hu Daxian saw a bamboo ruler on the table, so he took it and handed it to Wu He, saying:

"You hit it." Wu He patted it carefully a few times, and Hu Daxian snorted and complained, "Are you afraid it will hurt, try harder!" As soon as Wu He gritted his teeth, he really knocked hard a few times, but the penis was like a chestnut stick and he completely ignored it.Wu He was so heartbroken that he leveled the bamboo ruler and slashed it violently, but the penis was still unharmed.Wu He threw the bamboo ruler away, muttered and said: "Your skill is not bad, but it has nothing to do with me." Hu Daxian said with a smile: "As we said just now, if you have power, you will gain power, but if you have no power, you will gain momentum. For a castrated person like Eunuch Wu, we will build momentum."

"How to build momentum?" "Replenishing yang energy, Eunuch Wu, please watch again." As Hu Daxian said, he immediately raised his breath and tightened his stomach.I saw that the penis became thicker and thicker, and what was even more surprising was that a bubble the size of a glutinous rice ball appeared on the glans head. "Did you see clearly?" Hu Daxian asked holding his breath. "See it clearly." Wu He stared at the bubble, his eyeballs were about to pop out, and asked in surprise, "Is this bubble coming out of it?" "Yes, you see I take it in."

After Hu Daxian finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief.As expected, Junzhi Bubble retracted into the glans, and he breathed out again, and the bubble "grown" out of the glans again.Hu Daxian performed several times in a row, and Wu He had seen enough, so he put on his trousers and Taoist robe again. This performance dispelled all of Wu He's doubts.He had to marvel at Hu Daxian's crotch stunt, and couldn't help asking enviously: "How do you get those bubbles?" "That's vitality. The so-called momentum is vitality." "Mr. Hu, can this vitality really be replenished?"

"can!" "How much time?" "It's all about people." "Mr. Hu, don't be a fool!" "We're not trying to trick you," Hu Daxian saw that Wu He was in a hurry, and explained, "It just depends on what medicine you take." "It's up to you to decide what medicine to take." "It's my decision, but I have to make it clear to you." Hu Daxian hesitated when he said this, and said again. "If you are determined to be ruthless, you may be able to return the sun in half a year." Wu He "Huanyang" was eager, and hurriedly expressed his opinion: "As long as the disease is cured, it's nothing to be cruel. Tell me, how cruel should you be?"

Hu Daxian said: "Replenish one's energy by losing one's energy, this is Dafa. Where is the best vitality hidden in your way?" "you say." "It's the brain of a newborn baby. If Eunuch Wu can eat a baby's brain for half a month, it's guaranteed to be half a year, and the penis under your crotch will be the same as that of ordinary people." "What are you talking about, eating a baby's brain?" Wu He's shock was no small matter, "Didn't you ask me to kill my life?" Hu Daxian grinned his leaky mouth, and said with a half-smile: "Or, you can eat monkey brain instead, but the effect of the medicine will be mild."

"How much slower?" "Eating a monkey's brain for half a month without stopping, I'm afraid it will take five years." "Five years, it's too slow, it won't work!" Hu Daxian saw Wu He frowned and looked unhappy, so he sneered: "Eunuch Wu, healing is not like going to the street to buy things, let you bargain. If you want immediate results, you can only eat the brains of babies." Wu He slumped on the chair all of a sudden, held his head in thought for a long time, and then raised his face and asked: "Hu Daxian, tell the truth, have you ever eaten human brains?"

"No, we have eaten monkey brains." "Has anyone ever eaten a human brain?" "Yes, among the patients we have treated, there is not only one person who has eaten." "Healed?" "It must be cured. Last month, a patient who was cured by us gave birth to a fat boy." "Ah," Wu He asked enviously, "What's the taste of this baby's brain?" "Have you ever eaten pig's brain?" "I've eaten it. It's slippery. It's still delicious when eaten with sauce." "Human brains are more tender than pig brains, but they cannot be eaten cooked. Once the brains are opened, they must be eaten while they are hot, and no seasoning can be added." Wu He felt disgusted immediately, frowned and said, "It's so cruel, how can you eat it?" "For the sake of healing, I can't care about it." Wu He nodded, and started to pace up and down the house again, it could be seen that he was confused and unable to make up his mind.Hu Daxian didn't force him, he just sat on the chair with his legs crossed to rest his mind. Suddenly, Wu He stopped and asked Hu Daxian: "Since it's to make up money, this baby must be a boy." "yes." "Eat one in half a month, and twelve in half a year. Where can I get so much?" "As long as Mr. Wu is willing to pay the money, the goods will be on us." "How much silver?" "Five hundred taels of silver to get a baby." Wu He thought in his heart that the price is not expensive, but he asked, "Can it be cheaper?" "Five hundred taels of silver buys a life, do you think it's too expensive?" Wu He was choked, smiled self-ashamedly, and asked, "What will we do with the baby after we get it? You can't let us watch the baby's head being knocked open, right?" "Well, you, Eunuch Wu, don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of the craniotomy and dispensing the medicine." "Do you still need medicine?" "Without dispensing medicine, what's the use of eating human brains? Our family's ancestral secret recipe is Huanyang Pill, and the baby's brain is just a primer for medicine." "Okay, it's all up to you, so let's do it." "Eunuch Wu has made up his mind?" Wu He looked stern, pointed at Hu Daxian and said, "After half a year, if we can't recover our manly qualities, you will never want to live." "Eunuch Wu, what are you talking about?" Hu Daxian patted his chest and said, "Six months later, we, Mr. Hu, promise that you will be able to carry on the family." After talking about these important things, Wu He asked Ma Danian to lead Hu Daxian to the street to live in Xunjian Inn.He ate something in the dining room by himself, and then ran to the gate in a daze to look around.He is waiting for Zhao Jinfeng, his companion.About halfway through the hour of Xupai, I saw a small sedan chair carried by two people enter the alley, and stopped in front of his door. A small servant with a dental plaque on his waist got out of the sedan chair. This is Zhao Jinfeng disguised as a man.But it is said that the gate control of the Forbidden City in Da Nei is extremely strict.As soon as you pass, all the city gates leading to the outside will be closed.All servants are not allowed to go out.The maids are more strictly controlled, not only cannot leave the inner city at night, even the gate of the palace where they live is not allowed to leave without authorization.If one of the servants goes out on an urgent matter, he must be released with the bronze pass issued by the supervisor of etiquette.Wu Hezi and Zhao Jinfeng became rivals, and every time he thought it was inconvenient to do things in the palace, he would ask her to go out to his private house for a tryst.He managed to get a bronze medal for Zhao Jinfeng, and prepared a male official costume for her.There are more than 10,000 waiters in the big house, how can everyone recognize everyone at the gate? Whoever wants to go out of the city is just checking the card and letting them go.The first time a woman disguised herself as a man and went out of the Forbidden City, Zhao Jinfeng panicked like a rabbit in her arms. Later, she went out more times, and the sparrows in her drum became emboldened, and it was just a routine.Recently, due to the Zuoyemen incident, Wu He and Zhao Jinfeng have not met for many days.Cai Qifang's impeachment papers were presented before and after the court, and Wu He was still in a panic for two days. He visited Feng Bao yesterday and saw that his godfather's words were meant to protect him, so he felt at ease.This afternoon, Wu He secretly asked someone to deliver a letter to Zhao Jinfeng, asking her to come out of the city tonight to meet. In order to cover their eyes and ears at the door, the two of them didn't have time to exchange greetings, even when they entered the bedroom in the backyard of the house, the two couldn't hold back the feeling of being far away, and couldn't wait to hug each other and rolled down on the bed. "Dear, miss me!" As Wu He spoke, his hands had already penetrated into Zhao Jinfeng's clothes, groping wildly on her chest.Zhao Jinfeng entered the palace at the age of twelve, and has stayed in Da Nei for nine years.Now it is already Huai Chun's age to stand up in the vulva and suck the wind and lie down to suck the soil in the vagina, how can I stand a "man" scratching like this, my body has already softened, my mouth is moaning, and my crotch is already wet.Burning with lust and not caring about shame, the two of them had already stripped off their clothes and got into bed naked. Wu He's work was all about touching and pinching. Zhao Jinfeng is a normal person, how can he endure the suffering? She reached out her hand to Wu He's crotch and grabbed the limp "little penis", pulled it fiercely, and said angrily: "How hateful!" Wu He was in great pain from being dragged, so he hurriedly used both hands to protect him, and said with a cautious smile, "You can hate him for another half a year at most." "What happened after half a year?" Zhao Jinfeng asked. "After half a year, it became the black whirlwind Li Kui in the thatched nest." Wu He talked about the meeting with Hu Daxian once, but kept the matter of eating the baby's brains aside.Zhao Jinfeng didn't believe it, and retorted: "I'm afraid it's a lie. If the Huanyang Dan passed down from his ancestors is so effective, how can so many powerful father-in-laws wait until today?" Wu He didn't argue, just salivated and said: "A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. We are willing to do anything for you, my sweetheart." Then, he turned over and pressed on Zhao Jinfeng, and stuffed his tongue into her mouth . After a few clicks, Zhao Jinfeng stuck out Wu He's tongue. These "cutscenes" were no longer enjoyment but torture for her. She was eager to enter the "main scene", so she pushed Wu He, annoyed. road: "You forgot again?" "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten." Wu He turned over and got up, lifted Zhao Jinfeng's body up, knelt down between her crotch, bent his head, and stuck out his tongue towards the pussy... Just when Wu and Da performed licking exercises to make Zhao Jinfeng very happy, the door of the room was kicked wide open with a "bang".Zhao Jinfeng, who was caught off guard, screamed in fright, Wu He reached out to cover her mouth and quickly pulled the quilt to hide her ugliness.However, six or seven people had already crowded into the room. Wu He didn't see who it was, and he still used the power of his official supervisory board to roar viciously: "Who are you? Get out!" He was answered with a sneering sneer, and an official dressed in a embroidered python straight gown came out of the crowd with his hands folded behind his back, and asked gloomyly: "Eunuch Wu, don't you know us?" Wu He took a closer look and recognized Chen Yingfeng, the director of Dongchang. He immediately felt something was wrong, quickly tucked in the quilt, and asked in horror: "Master Chen, why is it you?" "Unexpected?" Chen Yingfeng took a lantern from Fan Yan, walked to the window holding it up, and scolded with bulging eyes, "Look at your good deeds!" Wu He was really embarrassed at this moment, and Zhao Jinfeng who was in the bed was trembling like chaff. He stroked her with one hand to imply calm her down, and stretched out his hand to block the light of the lantern. Looking at Chen Yingfeng, he said with a playful smile: "Master Chen, take your subordinates and leave first, let us get dressed and meet in the living room." "You think beautifully!" As Chen Yingfeng said, taking advantage of Wu He's unpreparedness, he stretched out his hand and tore open the quilt. Immediately, a man and a woman were naked in front of everyone.The frightened Zhao Jinfeng immediately screamed.The fan servants were all crooks in the first place, so how could they let go of this opportunity to feast their eyes, and squeezed together in front of the bed, laughing and laughing. Wu He, who was used to domineering and domineering, couldn't stand such insults, so he yelled: "Chen Yingfeng, I'll fuck your mother!" "We call you to scold!" Chen Yingfeng, with a short figure and a fleshy face, stretched out his hand and picked Wu He up like a chicken, and then threw it on the ground—poor Wu He, who was like a skinny monkey, lay there for a long time without moving. The servant wrapped Zhao Jinfeng up in that quilt and carried him out.Chen Yingfeng also grabbed Wu He's clothes on the back of the chair and threw them on the ground, kicked his bare buttocks, and said contemptuously: "Get up and put on your clothes." Wu He's body was already covered with bruises, so he jumped up and put on his clothes indiscriminately, regardless of the pain.Chen Yingfeng was already sitting on the chair carelessly, and asked domineeringly: "Eunuch Wu, do you know why we came to you?" Don't look at Chen Yingfeng's appearance as a black evil star, but he is the one who knows what to do with the wind.Ever since Wu He became the chief inspector, when he met each other, he always respected him.It was completely different tonight, looking at his eyes, the pharmacist's lamp had turned into a will-o'-the-wisp, and his actions were vicious, as if he treated Wu He as a criminal.This sudden catastrophe made Wu He hate and fear, but he couldn't figure out the reason, so he turned around and tried to ask: "Where did you get Zhao Jinfeng?" "Where she should go." "Where exactly?" "East Factory." Wu He gasped, his feet trembled involuntarily, and he said tremblingly: "We and Zhao Jinfeng are facing each other, our father knows about it." Chen Yingfeng didn't answer, but got up and brought a chair for Wu He to sit down, and ordered the servants to find a cup of hot tea for Wu He.After Chen Yingfeng sent someone to enter Wu's house, he drove a group of servants into a room and locked them up.Therefore, serving tea and pouring water can only be done by them.Wu He felt chills all over his body at first, and his heart was nervous at the second time. He took the hot tea without even thinking about it, and just sipped it down.Then he asked again: "You're here to catch rape, aren't you?" Chen Yingfeng nodded, and suddenly there was pity in his tone: "Wu He, you still have half a moment to live." "what!'' "There is poison in this tea, and the poison will take hold soon. Next year today will be your death day." Wu He burst into tears with a "wow", pointed at Chen Yingfeng, and shouted hoarsely: "Chen Yingfeng, Chen Yingfeng, we have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me?" "It's not me, it's Empress Dowager Li. You broke the palace rules, no matter how powerful your godfather is, he can't save you." After Chen Yingfeng finished speaking, she got off the chair, walked out of the room with a group of servants and walked away.Wu He wanted to chase him out, but he had a drug attack, and suddenly felt his internal organs burst. He slipped and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and rolling around, moaning and cursing: "Queen Li, our Wu He has turned into a ghost, and we want to take you, put you..." Early the next morning, news of Wu He's "suicide" spread in the Forbidden City, and various rumors spread like wildfire.Some said that Empress Dowager Li was angry with the crown and disturbed the family law, some said that Feng Bao righteously killed relatives, and some said that it was Cai Qifang's impeachment papers that scared Wu He to death.Although there are different opinions, there is one thing in common, that is, almost all the servants are applauded regardless of whether they are big or small.Whether it is playing the right food or falsely preaching the imperial decree, there should be no death penalty in this day and age, but it happened to Wu He.Then there is more than enough to die. The Empress Dowager Li got the news from Zhou You, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, who told her after eating breakfast. She was not surprised when she heard it, and only asked a simple question: "How did you commit suicide?" "I heard that he drank poisonous wine and his seven orifices were bleeding." "Ah, life and death are fate." Empress Dowager Li sighed with emotion, and then asked the little emperor sitting on the side, "Jun'er, do you want to summon Mr. Zhang in the morning?" "Yes, my son has a few questions I want to ask." "Okay, Zhou You, go to the cabinet to pass the decree." The Empress Dowager Li watched Zhou You leave, and said to her son, "Your meeting with Mr. Zhang in the morning, mother will not attend." "Why?" "Mother is here, you are not bold when talking to Mr. Zhang. If you don't, if you have any advice, you can ask Mr. Zhang. He is your master. Jun'er, you have to remember your identity. You are both the emperor and the master." Student, do you know?" "understood." "Go ahead." Zhu Yijun left Qianqing Palace and went to Dongnuan Pavilion, preparing to review the book for a while before going to the platform to meet Zhang Juzheng.Empress Dowager Li thought about Wu He's "suicide", so she sent someone to call Feng Bao again. The death of Wu He was originally arranged by Xu Jue at the behest of Feng Bao.Although the matter went smoothly, it was his godson who died after all.There was still a bit of grief in my heart, so after entering Da Nei in the morning, I was not in a hurry to report to the Qianqing Palace, but copied a few passages of the "Mahayana Infinite Life Sutra" in the guard's room.When he walked into Qianqing Palace, there was still mourning on his face.Empress Dowager Li gave him a seat and asked: "I heard that Wu He Zeng worshiped you as godfather?" "Yes." Feng Bao didn't know the intention of the Empress Dowager Li's question, and quickly blamed himself, "Damn the servant for accepting such a goddam godson." Seeing Feng Baocheng's terrified expression, Empress Dowager Li felt sympathetic and took the initiative to comfort her: "People don't have front and back eyes. This Wu He only changed later. Eunuch Feng doesn't have to worry about it." "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for forgiveness." Feng Bao pursed his mouth, tears really flowed out, and sobbed, "The servant returned from the Empress Dowager the day before yesterday, and sent someone to spy on Wu He and Zhao Jinfeng. Men's clothing sneaked out of the big house and went to hang out in Wu He's private house. The slaves meant to catch thieves and seize stolen goods. The people from Dongchang were ordered to go and arrest Zhao Jinfeng on Wu He's bed on the spot. Wu He So frightened, he drank poisoned wine and committed suicide." "Where is Zhao Jinfeng imprisoned now?" "East Factory." "What are you going to do with her?" "The slave listens to the queen mother's orders." Empress Dowager Li pondered for a while, and then asked: "What stories can we follow when dealing with such matters in the previous dynasty?" Feng Bao replied: "Looking for the right food in the palace has happened in all dynasties. There are also heavy and light punishments. Rebuking and punishing servants are all light, and confinement is heavy. Of course, there are also lighter ones." Like Emperor Wuzong, he doesn't care about such things at all. There are even heavier punishments than confinement, like Emperor Jiajing, the means of dealing with the opponents in the palace are simply appalling." "How did he deal with it?" "That happened in the fifth year of Jiajing. The old emperor heard that there were people playing with each other in the palace, so he arrested the man and woman. The man was taken to Dongchang to be tortured and died, but the palace lady died. worse." "How did you die?" "The old emperor ordered someone to find a large copper vat, put the maid upside down in the vat, and transferred three carts of charcoal from the Hongluo Factory to bury the vat, and then ignited the charcoal. The maid in the vat , was roasted to death just like that. I heard that when the copper vat was opened a day later, only a few bones like black charcoal were left inside." "Amitabha!" Hearing such a tragic story, Empress Dowager Li hurriedly clapped her hands together and recited the Buddha's name.The careful Feng Bao saw that the Queen Mother's eyes were still filled with tears, so he added after deliberation: "When the servant entered the palace, when the old people in the palace mentioned this matter, they all still had lingering fears." Empress Dowager Li took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, then sighed: "When it comes to matters between a man and a woman, it's men who cause trouble. I just don't know what kind of mentality the old emperor has made that palace lady die so tragically." Feng Bao replied: "It's all because Emperor Jiajing heard the rumors from the demons around him, saying that the court lady is the reincarnation of the scorpion spirit. If she is not steamed to death in a copper vat, her ghost will haunt the harem." "Yao Dao's words are not reliable," Empress Dowager Li shook her head, and muttered to herself, "How should we deal with this Zhao Jinfeng?" Feng Bao figured out what Empress Dowager Li was thinking, and said: "The Empress Dowager is the reincarnation of Guanyin, and the court ladies secretly call you Goddess Li, the goddess of Guanyin, saying that you are compassionate to all sentient beings. This servant boldly suggests that this Zhao Jinfeng be punished lightly." Empress Dowager Li closed her eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. After a long while, she slowly opened her red lips and asked: "Eunuch Feng, do you also think we are the reincarnated Guanyin?" "Of course." Feng Bao quickly replied. Empress Dowager Li suddenly opened her eyes, and said in an unquestionable tone: "This Zhao Jinfeng, I still can't let him go lightly!" "what?" Feng Bao was taken aback. Empress Dowager Li's tough attitude caught him by surprise.Only Queen Mother Li continued to say: "The emperor is still a child, and the handling of any matter in the palace will affect him. The eunuchs and maids form a pair, no matter how you say it, it is considered adultery. If you don't punish it severely, you will mislead the emperor. , this bad head can’t be opened.” "Then, what does the Empress Dowager mean..." "You don't need to steam someone in a copper vat, that's too cruel. You can go to Dongchang now and give Zhao Jinfeng a white silk." "yes." Feng Bao was ashamed, and was about to get up to leave when Empress Dowager Li stopped him and said, "Don't make things difficult for Zhao Jinfeng, let her wash and dress. Tell her, we will let Monk Ru from Zhaoning Temple do a ritual for her , chanting sutras, let’s go.” Feng Bao walked out of the Qianqing Palace, and once again made him realize what it means to be "unpredictable".However, this heavenly power did not come from the emperor, but from the graceful and luxurious Empress Dowager Li. "If she wants to be the emperor, I'm afraid Wu Zetian will be inferior to her by three points." He was thinking about this, and he walked out of the gate of Qianqing unconsciously.Looking up, he saw Zhou You standing at the door of the platform, so he asked him: "Why are you standing here?" Zhou You pointed to the half-hidden door behind him, and replied, "The Emperor is meeting Mr. Zhang inside." "Ah!" Feng Bao stretched out his head and glanced inward. There was no purpose, and he dared not go in. He stopped for a while, and then walked away quickly. On the platform, the little emperor and Zhang Juzheng were having a cordial conversation.This was the first time that the little emperor met Zhang Juzheng alone, and at the same time he was restrained, but at the same time he felt relieved.There are too many restrictions on being with the queen mother on weekdays, especially in front of Mr. Zhang. I want to ask questions, but I am afraid that the queen mother will blame me for asking the wrong question.Therefore, I always sit down and feel bored, and regard meetings as a burden.Although he is only twelve years old this year, he has been emperor for two years. Not to mention practicing political affairs under the guidance of Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and other ministers at home and abroad every day, he can learn a lot just by observing things anytime and anywhere Knowledge enlightens many truths.Yesterday, he saw a brochure and thought there was something wrong with it, so he asked his mother to see Mr. Zhang.Unexpectedly, this time the empress did not accompany her to meet, Zhu Yi suddenly felt that he had grown up a lot. At this time, he sat upright on the throne, picked up a memorial and said to Zhang Juzheng: "Sir, take a look at this draft from the Ministry of Officials." Zhang Juzheng took over the reading, which was a list of recommended officials, and he planned to transfer Tao Dashun, the deputy of the famous name, to Huguang.The essay is only two lines long, and Zhang Juzheng didn't see any problems when he looked left and right. He wondered if the little emperor had heard the unfavorable rumors about Tao Dashun, so he put down the notebook and said: "Your Majesty, before this Tao Dashun was promoted, the Department of Officials had carefully inspected him. He is a clean and honest official." The little emperor smiled slightly, and deliberately imitated that mature and prudent tone and said: "Mr. Zhang is wrong. I am not saying that Tao Dashun has any bad deeds, but I think there is something wrong with this paper from the Ministry of Officials." Zhang Juzheng was in a fog when he said this, he picked up the notebook and checked it word by word, but he couldn't see any mistakes, so he could only apologize and said: "Your Majesty, my servants are dull and didn't see any mistakes." Zhu Yijun pursed his mouth and said seriously: "I remember that before the Spring Festival, the Ministry of Officials moved the document and promoted Tao Dashun from Fang Langzhong of the Ministry of War to the deputy envoy of the Daming Mansion. I saw him receive the imperial edict a few days ago, so why was he suddenly promoted to Huguang?" ? The Ministry of Officials selects officials according to their talents, and they must be allowed to do so. Isn’t it child’s play to change the order from day to day?” Zhang Juzheng was very surprised when he heard it, he didn't expect the little emperor to pay so much attention to political affairs that he could find problems from the overview of memorials.Unavoidably feeling hot in his heart, Su Rong said: "What the emperor said. There is a reason for it. It's just that the subordinates didn't report it in time. This Tao Dashun was originally the brother of Tao Dalin, the lecturer of Jingyan last year. During the Spring Festival, Tao Dalin unfortunately died of illness. Not a few days after his death, Tao Dashun's son, Tao Yunchun, who served as the Si Cheng in Dali Temple, also died of illness suddenly. Within a month, Tao Dashun died first of his brother and then of his son, neither of whom was buried. Tao Dashun was from Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. The Daming Mansion was too far away from his hometown, and he couldn’t help him back home on the way to his post, so he wrote to the Ministry of Officials to request that he be relocated nearby so that he could be buried there. The Ministry of Officials deliberated in detail, and agreed to Tao Dashun’s request because he felt that Tao Dashun’s grief could be learned from. Huguang Deputy Envoy was changed to Huguang Deputy Envoy, Daming Deputy Envoy and Huguang Deputy Envoy are both top five grades, Tao Dashun was replaced by the original official, but he was not promoted, Your Majesty, please check." After Zhang Juzheng's explanation, Zhu Yijun understood what was going on, and his face flushed suddenly.That expression was like a child who had done something wrong, he smiled shyly and said: "Hearing what Mr. said, I realized that there is something else hidden here. Mr. is meticulous in handling things, so I am overthinking." "Your majesty pays attention to everything and asks the truth. This is the style of a sage. I am very happy to see you today." Zhang Juzheng's words came from the bottom of his heart, and the little emperor was happy to hear that.He used to just be in awe of this unsmiling minister and teacher, but now he has an indescribable intimacy.Facing each other, he suddenly thought of his father—the deceased Emperor Longqing. He stared at Zhang Juzheng's neatly combed long beard, and said emotionally: "Sir, my mother wants me to ask you for advice." "Assist the emperor and rebuild the prosperous world, this is what I wish." "Yesterday, I saw a folding fan, which was an old item in the palace. On it was a six-character poem written by Emperor Xianzong. I still remember the last two lines of 'sweeping away the cold and heat in the world and bringing back the coolness in the sky'," said Mr. , is this poem good?" "Okay, Shi Tianen is to relieve the suffering of the people. This is the mind of a sage monarch. The emperor must learn more from his ancestors." "I also mean the same thing. Every time I see some emperors in the past dynasties with outstanding literary talents, I am really envious, so I want to learn to compose poems. I don't know what the master will do?" When Zhu Yijun was speaking, his bright eyes were always on Zhang Juzheng. He was full of expectation in his heart, wishing to master the knowledge he needed in the shortest time.Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "Your Majesty's goal, I'm afraid, is not to be an excellent scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, but to be a holy king who will benefit all people in the world." "Yes, we are the emperor now, so of course we won't be that Wenyuan Pavilion scholar." "However, the emperor just proposed to study poetry, find chapters and excerpt sentences, and lay out rhetoric. This should not be the emperor's pursuit." "what?" "Historically, the kings of subjugated countries were good at diction, such as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and the empresses of Chen and Li. If they were put in the list of poets, they would also rank among the best. Pursuing flashy fragrance, content with singing the wind and playing the moon, in the end, I ended up resigning from the temple in a hurry, and weeping at the maid. Your Majesty, this is a lesson from history, and it must not be forgotten." These words were like pouring cold water on Zhu Yijun's head, but he was clever and quickly turned around and replied: "I see." "Of course, poetry and poetry can be learned, but you can only taste them. The main energy of the emperor should be on how to control the world and master the national economy and the people's livelihood." "I remember what you said, sir." Zhu Yijun nodded frequently. At this moment, he heard footsteps outside, and he listened to them. The footsteps went away, so he asked again, "When I have breakfast, what do you listen to?" It is said that Wu He, who was sued by Cai Qifang, committed suicide by taking poison last night." "Your servant has also heard about it." Zhang Juzheng took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know how the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will deal with the two scriptures of Cai Qifang and Mo Wenlong." It was inconvenient for Zhu Yijun to tell Zhang Juzheng about his mother's hesitation and suspicion, so he only expressed his own thoughts: "This Wu He has not deserved to die for lying about the imperial decree." "The emperor is wise." "I heard from my companion that Mr. meets with relevant officials every day and is considering measures for national fiscal reform?" "Yes, I have a long book dedicated to this matter. It is being drafted. After it is written, it will be submitted for the emperor to decide." "Very well, for the sake of the country, sir, you have worked hard." As soon as Zhang Juzheng heard that he wanted to see off the guests, he kowtowed and said goodbye.
