Zhang Juzheng 熊召政 7624Words 2018-03-14
When Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng walked into the platform one after the other, they had just turned over their cards.Empress Dowager Li had already sat down inside.The agreed time for this meeting was three o'clock in the morning, because Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng were delayed in talking in the silent room of the Wenhua Palace, so they came late.When Zhang Juzheng saw that Empress Dowager Li had arrived first, he felt quite uneasy, so he hurriedly offered an audience ceremony, sat down and said: "I'm late, I'm rude, please forgive me, Queen Mother." Because Empress Dowager Li was going to meet foreign ministers, she put on the double phoenix flying dragon crown again, and the Zhu Luoming uniform embroidered with nine dragons, four phoenixes, twelve trees and large flowers embroidered with gold silk.Seeing Zhang Juzheng, a strange emotion rose in her heart.She has never seen Zhang Juzheng since she moved away from Qianqing Palace for more than half a year.This meeting, in addition to the righteousness of "lord and subject", there is also some kind of unspeakable personal relationship between men and women at play.Hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Empress Dowager Li's well-maintained self-skinned face flushed for no reason, and she replied:

"Sir, the country is busy, so being late for a while is nothing." "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your generosity." "Last night, Eunuch Feng must have told you what happened to the Emperor in the Quliu Pavilion." Empress Dowager Li glanced at Feng Bao as she spoke.Feng Bao hurriedly leaned forward and replied: "Qi Queen Mother, what should be told to Mr. Zhang, this old slave has already told me." Empress Dowager Li turned to Zhang Juzheng, and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, how do you deal with this matter?" Zhang Juzheng replied respectfully: "I want to hear the Queen Mother's will."

Empress Dowager Li's eyes turned red, and she said sadly: "Your Majesty's messing around like this hurts the king's dignity, we want to depose him and establish another King Lu." Zhang Juzheng answered immediately: "Forgive me for taking the liberty, the Empress Dowager's intention is wrong." "Why?" Empress Dowager Li's eyes flashed. Zhang Juzheng replied: "The emperor has been on the throne for six years. He is open-minded, eager to learn, and diligent in political affairs. He has already become a young emperor who is respected all over the world and supported by all people. The Quliuguan incident is just an accidental crime, and the main responsibility is not on him."

"You mean, it's because Sun Hai and Ke used two servants to lure the emperor?" Empress Dowager Li took the initiative to guess: "yes." "This is a reason, but when you look deeper, it's not a reason." The Empress Dowager Li became emotional as she spoke, "We have been with the emperor for six years in Qianqing Palace, and we have taught him to behave properly and behave in every moment. An upright gentleman, he seems to have listened to it, and he did it seriously: Why did he change as soon as we left the Qianqing Palace? People are told not to leave, ghosts are told to run! We are still alive, and he dares to do this. If there is no one to discipline him, wouldn't he become more arrogant and extravagant?"

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Li's tears fell like pearls with a broken thread.Zhang Juzheng was greatly shocked in his heart, he was in awe of the Queen Mother Li who sacrificed her personal feelings for the well-being of the common people in the world.However, he also heard some imperceptible ambivalence in Queen Mother Li's fiery words: she scolded the emperor because she hated iron but not steel; but when she said the word "waste", her tone obviously hesitated... Thinking about it, he believed in his previous judgment more and more, so he said: "Queen Mother. Just a small matter in the Quliu Pavilion, it definitely cannot be a reason to depose the emperor."

"Ok?" "The emperor is the heir appointed by the late emperor before his death. I remember that the late emperor was dying in Qianqing Palace that day, and appointed ministers and others to serve as the emperor's ministers along with Feng Gonggong. For six years, the minister and Feng Gonggong followed the late emperor's legacy and faithfully assisted the emperor. , dare not be negligent. The emperor made a mistake for a while, and the empress dowager blamed herself so much, which made the minister feel ashamed." "Your Majesty Meng Lang, what have you got to do with Mr. Zhang?"

"I am the Minister Gu Ming. As the emperor's teacher, I have no way to teach, how can I avoid being involved?" Zhang Juzheng's attitude greatly relieved Queen Mother Li.Zhang Juzheng guessed right: Empress Dowager Li is indeed in a dilemma right now.At the beginning of the emperor's crime, she was so angry that she really thought about getting rid of the emperor.But after thinking about it calmly after having breakfast, she felt that this idea was too hasty.After all, Zhu Yijun had been the emperor for six years, and was suddenly deposed. How would he explain to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world? At that time, Eunuch Feng had already taken her order to the cabinet, and it was too late to stop it.She came to the platform with trepidation, worried that Zhang Juzheng would really agree with her proposal to abolish the emperor.However, what she was worried about finally did not happen.After discovering the bottom of Zhang Juzheng's heart, she simply faked the show and said with a straight face:

"Our decision has been made, this emperor must be abolished!" "Queen Mother!" Zhang Juzheng yelled, stood up abruptly, then suddenly knelt down on both knees, and said eloquently, "If you really want to abolish the emperor, first of all, you abolish me as the chief assistant of the cabinet." Feng Bao, who had been observing calmly by the side, also saw the clue at this time, and quickly knelt down with Zhang Juzheng, and said: "Qi Queen Mother, the old slave is not only the emperor's minister, but also the emperor's great companion. If you want to abolish the emperor, you must give the old slave death first."

"Death?" Empress Dowager Li was taken aback. "Yes, death!" Feng Bao pursed his mouth, tears came as soon as he said it, and he sobbed, "The emperor has been deposed, what's the point of us living!" Empress Dowager Li was in a mixed state of sorrow and joy at this time, the sorrow was that the emperor was ineffective, and the joy was that the two old ministers were so loyal to the emperor.She personally got up and helped the two ministers inside and outside, and ordered the servants beside her: "Go to Qianqing Palace and invite the emperor to come here."

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard, but Zhu Yijun walked in with a face full of shame and trepidation.From the moment Empress Dowager Li left in front of Fengxian Hall in a sedan chair angrily, Zhu Yijun's heart was always fried.The queen mother threatened to abolish him, no matter how much the queen mother pleaded for him, she would never let go.Thinking that I just learned about the matter and tasted the joy of being an emperor, I will be abolished.Not only do they have to move out of the Qianqing Palace, but they also have to leave the capital forever.This fright really made him walk away with seven souls and three souls on his spine.Under the comfort of Empress Chen, he returned to Qianqing Palace in a daze, and waited for the result of his mother's meeting with Mr. Zhang to discuss.Now that the queen mother ordered him to come to the platform, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster waiting for him, so he lowered his head as soon as he entered the door, not daring to look at the queen mother's face.

Seeing the emperor standing at the door hesitantly, Zhang Juzheng first stood up and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please sit down on the imperial couch." When Zhu Yijun heard that the master's tone was the same as usual, he was full of respect for him, and his heart suddenly became hot.Inevitably raised his head to look at the queen mother.Empress Dowager Li was also looking at him with fixed eyes at this time.The four eyes met and then separated suddenly, Empress Dowager Li said coldly: "Jun'er, Mr. Zhang asked you to sit on the imperial couch, why are you still standing there?" "Thank you, Empress." Zhu Yijun immediately felt relieved, and he sat on the back of the imperial couch.Zhang Juzheng knelt down to him immediately, and performed the ceremony of the emperor and his ministers seeing him. "Mr. Yuanfu Zhang, please stand up." Zhu Yijun burst into tears, wishing he could kiss the imperial couch and help Zhang Juzheng up.After Zhang Juzheng returned to the embroidered chair and sat down, Empress Dowager Li said again: "Jun'er, Mr. Zhang protects you, and you still take the seat of the emperor." "Thank you..." Zhu Yijun wanted to say "thank you, Mr. Zhang", but it was wrong to think about it. He didn't feel ashamed when he did the things of the emperor and his courtiers when he was young, but now that he has grown up, wouldn't it be embarrassing to do it again? He blushed, thought for a while, and changed his words, "Thank you, Empress, forgive me." "Excuse me, forgive me," Empress Dowager Li sneered, "It's not Mr. Zhang and Eunuch Feng who protect you, and mother will never forgive you." Zhu Yijun trembled all over, and said in a low voice, "I don't dare to do anything foolish again." "No one can protect you if you keep messing around," Empress Dowager Li raised her eyebrows and scolded fiercely, "You can't be too cheap for doing such absurd things. If you don't punish, you won't learn a lesson!" At this time Feng Bao wanted to be a good person again, so he said: "Report to the Queen Mother. The Emperor Nian is the first offender, and now he is heartbroken. According to the foolish opinion of the old slave, punishment is unnecessary. If you want to punish, punish Sun Hai and Ke Yong. .” "How to punish these two?" Queen Mother Li asked. "Release them to a clean army with twenty sticks each, and send them to Nanjing Xiaoling to grow vegetables." "This treatment is not too serious," Empress Dowager Li nodded in agreement, and said, "What are the names of the two maids?" Feng Bao replied: "The one whose hair was cut by the guest is named Qiaolian, and the other is named Yuezhen." "These two, we see that Qiaolian still has the style of a lady, so we transferred her to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to wait on our side. That Yuezhen, we can't let her stay in the Shangyi Bureau anymore, so I just sent her to Huanyuan. clothes bureau." "The Empress Dowager made a clear decision, and the old servant obeyed the order." Hearing that Sun Hai and Ke Yong were going to be relegated to Nanjing, Zhu Yijun was very reluctant, but how could he speak at this time? No matter how angry he was, he could only bear it.At this moment, Empress Dowager Li said again: "The slaves are all punished. If you are the emperor, let alone the nasty things that happened in the Quliu Pavilion, you should be punished severely if you only condone and raise rape! Mr. Zhang, the former emperor, if you did something wrong, how should you deal with it?" ?” Although Zhang Juzheng saved the emperor, he felt that giving a light punishment would be beneficial and not harmful to correcting the emperor's desire to play gatha, so he replied: "Many emperors in the previous dynasty issued an imperial edict to sin after doing something wrong." "Sin..." Empress Dowager Li didn't understand. "Crime, Self, Edict," Zhang Juzheng replied word by word, "It means that the emperor wrote the mistakes he made into an edict to inform the world, so as to alert himself, express his repentance, and never repeat the crime." "That's very good," Queen Mother Li agreed, and then asked Zhu Yijun, "Jun'er, what do you think?" How could Zhu Yijun be willing to reveal the ugly things he had done to the world? But under the pressure of the Queen Mother, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: "Mr. Zhang's suggestion is very good." Empress Dowager Li could see that her son's attitude was reluctant, but she was well aware of the truth that "correction must be too much", and said to Zhang Juzheng: "Mr. Zhang, as soon as you go back today, you will draw up an edict of guilt for the emperor, and send it to the Secretary of the General Administration tomorrow for publication in the residence newspaper." For several days in a row, the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere in Qianqing Palace changed from the past.Up to the emperor and queen, down to the maids in the palace, all of them seemed to have frost on their faces.The reason for this is self-evident-it is still the aftermath of the Crooked Pavilion incident.Although Zhu Yijun was not deposed, Feng Bao relied on the support of Empress Dowager Li and carried out a big cleansing in the inner palace of the Forbidden City.All servants that he dislikes on weekdays will be banished if they don't surrender.There are more than 70 people who have been demoted from tooth brand eunuchs to ebony brand fire.There were more than 50 people who were transferred out of the inner court to Nanjing, Fengyang, Nanhaizi and other places to serve as Jingjun for hard labor.More than one hundred mink pendants serving in front of the emperor, all of them became shrimps in the stinky ditch in the blink of an eye.This is the biggest personnel change in the Inner Palace since Wanli was changed to Yuan Dynasty, which made everyone feel insecure.This time, the servants of the Qianqing Palace were the most removed and replaced. More than 20 servants, large and small, were removed. Almost all the servants who liked the emperor were removed.Sun Hai and Ke Yong were beaten badly and bruised all over their bodies, and they were escorted to Nanjing to serve as a clean army.Feng Bao, as the supervisor of ceremonies, was in charge of the twenty-four supervision bureaus of the inner court in name, but he did not dare to change the servants of Qianqing Palace, even a small Huo Zhe.This is all because the Qianqing Palace is the place where the emperor is in control, and all the servants are appointed by him.The reason why Feng Bao dared to stroke his beard this time was because the emperor made a mistake first.Now, all the stewardship signs that have been installed in the Qianqing Palace are carefully selected cronies of Feng Bao.Although the emperor is still the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in Vega, he has become an out-and-out "lonely man" in the Qianqing Palace. This kind of situation makes him sad. What worries Zhu Yijun even more is that Zhang Juzheng drafted the "Edict of Guilt" for him.After Zhu Yijun read it once, he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. He didn't have the courage to read it a second time.He wished he could tear up the "Edict of Guilt" to shreds, but what's the use of tearing it up? It had long been published in the General Secretary's Mansion Newspaper and sent to all prefectures and counties across the country by post.Thinking about being an emperor, but having to make this little bit of "filth" public, so that petty officials all over the country would use it as a topic of conversation after dinner, Zhu Yijun gritted his teeth with hatred.But all the resentment can only be buried deep in the heart.After Sun Hai and Ke Yong left, he couldn't believe any of these strange faces transferred to Qianqing Palace to serve him. But he said that he had had breakfast that day, so he walked to Dongnuang Pavilion, and just sat down to take a sip of tea when he heard someone at the door say: "Slave Zhang Jing begged to see the emperor." Zhang Jing is one of the eight eunuchs holding pens in the Supervisor of Rites.Although he was only thirty-five or sixteen years old, he had stayed in the inner court for almost twenty years.He was eunuched and sent to the palace at the age of five, and studied in the inner school for six years. Among the eunuchs, he was a rare scholar.He was good friends with Sun Long, the imperial eunuch who was the supervisor of Hangzhou Weaving Bureau at that time. On Sun Long's recommendation, he joined Feng Bao's family.Feng Bao appreciated his prudence and good handwriting.The year before last, he was promoted from the position of the imperial horse supervisor to the eunuch of Bingbi.In the Supervisor of Ceremonies, besides Zhang Cheng, he is the third most important person.This person usually speaks very little, and he never speaks of right and wrong.Therefore, during this change of personnel in the inner court, he was picked by Feng Bao to go to Dongnuang Pavilion to be on duty every day, and to send books to the emperor. Hear Zhang Jing's voice.Zhu Yijun frowned, and said lazily, "Come in." Zhang Jing came in on tiptoe and knelt down in front of the imperial couch.Zhu Yijun glanced at the folding box he brought in, and asked: "What important memorial is there today?" "There is a suggestion from Mr. Zhang, the chief assistant of the cabinet." "What's wrong?" ""The emperor should quit traveling and feasting to focus on daily living."." "It's this thing again, it's endless." Zhu Yijun muttered in his heart, he was very bored, he was stunned for a while, and he told Zhang Jing, "Get up, sit on the bed, and read Shuwen. " Zhang Jing hurriedly got up, opened the folding box, took out Zhang Juzheng's book, and read carefully: Since the emperor came to the imperial court, he has lectured and diligently governed, and his holiness has been renewed day by day.It's been a few months, looking up at the direction of the holy will, not as good as before... After reading this, Zhang Jing paused for a while, and secretly glanced at Zhu Yijun. Seeing that he was looking up at the tree shadow outside the window in a daze, with no expression on his face, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to read: It's quite abnormal to hear about the daily life in the palace; but the ministers are separated from the outer court, so they dare not believe it, and the court's general administration has not seen any shortcomings, so they dare not speak rashly.However, the former respectfully said that "the one who benefits has three joys and the one who loses also has three joys". The two chapters "Those who benefit have three friends and those who lose also have three friends" are used to persuade the Holy One.The saying goes: "Build virtue and grow it, eliminate evil and do it all."When the Quliuguan incident happened, the inner court must rectify it. The officials in charge of all supervisory bureaus are ordered to report themselves.And recently, the emperor's dome is hanging down, and the comet sweeps away the four stars of the eunuchs. It is advisable to sweep them out to deal with changes in the sky... "Stop!" Zhu Yijun suddenly called out. Zhang Jing closed his mouth, Zhu Yijun stared at him and asked: "Mr. Zhang said that the celestial phenomenon has changed, is there any basis?" Zhang Jing replied: "Qin Tianjian made a statement a few days ago and said about it." "How?" "It is said that a comet appeared in the sky, and its tail swept the Ziwei constellation. This kind of astrology is because there are servants who deceived the Lord Long Live." "Nonsense!" Zhu Yijun cursed angrily, then suddenly felt a slip of the tongue, and changed his subject again, "Mr. Zhang said that our inner court is going to be cleaned up. Isn't Eunuch Feng already cleaned up!" "Perhaps Mr. Zhang still thinks the cleaning is not clean." Zhang Jing spoke casually, Zhu Yijun's eyelids moved, and he heard something in Zhang Jing's words, but he was concerned that Zhang Jing was Feng Bao's confidant, so he didn't dare to ask rashly, he just waved his hand at him and said: "Keep reading." Zhang Jing cleared his throat, and continued to read: The minister also heard that Zhuge Liang, a minister of the Han Dynasty, said: "In the palace and in the mansion, everything is one. Whether it is fine or not, it is not appropriate to have similarities and differences."The minister is waiting for the crime to assist the prime minister, and everything in the palace is suitable for hearing.Since then, I dare not limit myself to foreign ministers. Whenever the emperor's daily life and official affairs are heard, he will do his best to act faithfully; Please deal with it. It is advisable for the emperor to refrain from traveling and feasting to focus on daily life, to concentrate on promoting the successors, to save extravagant expenses by giving gifts, but to cherish entertainment to show respect, to be close to thousands of people to understand common government, and to give lectures frequently to govern. After Zhang Jing finished reading, Zhu Yijun didn't see any reaction.It turned out that the emperor's thoughts had long been diverted, and he was thinking about the phrase "the palace and the mansion are all one".According to the rules set by Emperor Hongwu, the eunuchs of the inner court and the officials of the outer court cannot hand over each other.The purpose of this move was to keep the imperial court clean and clean, neither to allow eunuchs to intervene in politics, nor to allow foreign court officials to interfere in the royal family's private affairs.Those who violate the rules will be degraded if they are light, and those who are serious will be skinned.Now, in this memorial, Zhang Juzheng actually put forward the idea of ​​the integration of the palace and the government, and stated that "from now on, I dare not limit myself to foreign ministers".If this memorial is approved, it will be like adding an extra restraint to himself. Thinking about the consequences, Zhu Yijun shudders.He raised his head, only to realize that Zhang Jing had already accepted the booklet, so he asked absent-mindedly: "Ready?" "It's over." Zhang Jing replied. "Later, send Mr. Zhang's memorial to the Two Palaces of Compassion and Compassion for the two Holy Mothers to have a look at." "The servant complies with the order." Zhang Jing paused for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Long Live Lord, if the Queen Mother asks the slave, what is the attitude of the Long Live Lord, and how should the slave answer?" "It's still the same four words, as promised." Zhu Yijun replied irritably. "The servant understands." Zhang Jing packed the folding box and was about to leave for the Palace of Compassion, Zhu Yijun seemed to remember something, and called him back again, asking: "Did you find what I asked you to check?" "But that poem by Emperor Jianwen?" Zhang Jing asked. "yes." "The servant has found it. Seeing that Long Live God didn't ask, the servant dare not take it out." As he spoke, Zhang Jing took out a folded piece of paper sprinkled with gold from his arms, and handed it to Zhu Yijun respectfully. Zhu Yijun shook his head and saw that he had neatly copied two poems of Qilu in a round stroke of small script: The wind and dust suddenly invaded the south overnight, The destiny sneaks into the hearts of the world. The phoenix returns to Danshan, the red sun is far away, The dragon returns to the sea and the blue clouds are deep. Ziwei is like a star and arches, The mountain leak silently sinks in water. Looking at the moon in the forbidden city tonight, The sixth palace especially looks forward to Cuihua Lin. After reading the Lengyan chime, knock it lazily, Smile and look at the yellow house surrounded by scoops. From the south, there are thousands of layers of mountains and mountains, Looking north at Tianmen, thousands of miles away. Duan Duan forgot to fly the phoenix chariot for a long time, The cassock is replaced by the dragon robe. Hundred officials know where they are today, Only Qunwu will go to court sooner or later. Zhu Yijun read it silently, and recited it again, and he could see that he was hurt.When he was meditating, he suddenly took out a piece of paper from under the paperweight on the desk and handed it to Zhang Jing, saying: "Look, I have a song here too." Zhang Jing hurriedly took it, and saw that it was Zhu Yijun's handwriting: In the forty autumns of the southwest, When I came back, my hair was full of flowers. Where is the dreamer in heaven and earth? Jianghan is ruthless and the water flows by itself. In front of Changle Palace, the clouds are dark, The sound of rain on Chaoyuan Pavilion is worrying. New cattail willows are green every year, Ye Lao swallowed and cried. Zhang Jing was reading, half moved by the melancholy in the poem, and half out of speculation about Zhu Yijun's mood, he squeezed his eyes and shed tears, a few teardrops wet the paper, he was so frightened that he trembled all over , quickly knelt down and begged: "The slave should die, for polluting the holy site of the Long Live Lord." Zhu Yijun was greatly moved by Zhang Jing's performance, but he didn't show it. He just raised his hand to let Zhang Jing get up, and asked him: "Why are you crying?" "The slave was very moved when he saw that Lord Long Live copied Emperor Jianwen's poems so seriously." "Ah, that's right," Zhu Yijun said thoughtfully, "it's just that we can't tell whether this poem was written by Emperor Jianwen." "The poem is written too bleakly, but according to my slaves, it should be the original work of Emperor Jianwen." "How do you know?" Zhu Yijun said, "This poem comes from "Xu Xiangyang West Garden Miscellaneous Notes". Only this poem was recorded but no evidence was provided." "The evidence for this poem is recorded in the book "Bili Miscellaneous Cun"," Zhang Jing continued, "this book was written by a man named Dong Zhu during the Zhengde period. This person was a Jinshi during the Zhengde period. , served as the magistrate of Anyi and Hanyang counties. Later, he was dismissed due to some incidents and retired to the forest, so he wrote this book." Zhu Yijun asked: "About Emperor Jianwen, what is recorded in the book?" Zhang Jing replied: "There are quite detailed records in the book about the old affairs of Emperor Jianwen. It is said that when Emperor Jianwen was still in the year of the first year, Emperor Taizu dreamed at night and saw the left and right pillars of the inner court, and there were two black and white dragons entangled and fighting each other. The left pillar After dawn, Taizu found Yandi—the later Emperor Yongle, and the grandson of Emperor Jianwen—the later Emperor Jianwen, each playing with a couplet pillar, and Yandi was just on the left Taizu became suspicious of that Yingzhu. Later Taizu took Yan Mansion and Emperor Taisun to inspect the royal horse, and made an upper couplet for the two. Taizu's upper couplet was "the wind blows the horse's tail "Thousands of lines", Taisun to the sun, "a piece of wool wet with rain", and Yandi to "sunshine dragon scales, ten thousand points of gold". When Taizu heard this, he couldn't help but sighed that the destiny must not be violated. After he passed on to the grandson, he once Sealed a box and secretly summoned the grandson of Emperor Jianwen, saying, "If you encounter a big disaster in the future and are dying, you will only be allowed to open it. If you encounter a small disaster, you must never open it. Remember to remember." That year, Yan Mansion sent troops from Beijing, and Jing Nan's division surrounded the Forbidden City in Nanjing. Emperor Jianwen opened the box that Taizu gave him when he was in danger. Inside he saw only a pair of monk's clothes and hat, a piece of paper, and a razor It was his own. Emperor Jianwen shaved his hair overnight, set fire to the palace, and escaped from the dark ditch. Yousi then used self-immolation and played it to Emperor Yongle. Emperor Jianwen knew his fate and saw the opportunity to protect himself. It has been 40 years since the change happened. One day, an old monk suddenly came to the Yamen of the Chief Secretary of Yunnan. It has been passed down to the four dynasties, and the matter is settled. I have the heart of the first hill, so I want to return it to my ears. You can listen to it.' Then he took out a poem note from his sleeve. It is difficult for the vassal to distinguish the true from the false, so he The old monk was sent to Beijing with gifts. At that time, most of the old people in the palace of Emperor Jianwen were dead, and there was an old eunuch who was still alive. He said, "Whether the old monk was the Emperor Jianwen in his previous life, I can test it." Said He asked the old monk to take off his left shoe and sock. When he saw the old monk's sole, he hugged his feet and cried bitterly. It turned out that the old eunuch had bathed Emperor Jianwen in the palace and knew that there was a black spot on the sole of Jianwen's left sole. There is a mole on the foot of the old monk. The old eunuch is definitely Emperor Jianwen. With this identification, the imperial court will treat the old monk well and stay in the palace to serve him. Within two years, the old monk passed away, and the court is also here Next to the Longevity Hill, a tomb was erected for him." Zhang Jing carefully explained the ins and outs of the poem copied by Zhu Yijun.Zhu Yijun felt that this piece of Whale Expo was a caring person, so he asked him: "What is the origin of the two poems you copied?" "These two poems are from "Miscellaneous Copy of the Capital of Shu". It is said that there is a small temple in Jinzhu, Guizhou, called Luoyong Temple. One day, an old monk came and asked these two poems on the wall of the temple. Later generations read them It is believed that this is the handwriting of Emperor Jianwen." "What about the old monk?" "After writing the poem, I left without knowing where to end." "This is another theory." Zhu Yijun seemed to be full of sadness, "The court has never clearly recorded the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen." "There are quite a few in wild history." "Unofficial history is not enough to believe." "Long Live Lord is so right. As far as the "Bili Miscellaneous Cun" mentioned by the slave just now, many people ridiculed it as Qi Dong's wild language." "I asked you to find Emperor Jianwen's poem, have you ever told anyone about it?" "No," Zhang Jing replied with a bow, "I am afraid that the subordinates will guess what the Lord Long Live is thinking, so I dare not even speak to Eunuch Feng." "You did the right thing." Zhu Yijun's tense face suddenly turned a little pale, and he asked Zhang Jing again, "Tell me, why do I want to find Emperor Jianwen's poems?" "This..." Zhang Jing gasped, and said in a low voice, "This, I dare not guess randomly." "You said that you were wrong, and I forgive you for not being guilty." With these words, Zhang Jing became a little more courageous, but he still didn't dare to look at Zhu Yijun's face, he just lowered his head and said, "My servant guesses that the Lord Long Live is probably heartbroken because of the Quliu Pavilion. " "Well, go on." "So I thought of Emperor Jianwen who was expelled from the palace by Emperor Yongle, and thought of him hiding his name and living among the people..." Having said this, Zhang Jing dared not speak any further.Because he saw Zhu Yijun's eyes filled with tears.After a while, he saw Zhu Yijun crumpled and smoothed the poem paper with both hands, smoothed and crumpled again, so he called out softly: "Long Live!" "Huh?" Zhu Yijun sighed and said emotionally, "If I were Emperor Jianwen, I would never go back to the Forbidden City after I became a monk." Zhang Jing knelt down abruptly, choked with sobs and persuaded: "Long Live Lord, you must not think like this, you are the Taiping Emperor of Vega all over the world!" "you?" Zhu Yijun woke up like a dream. He decisively crumpled up the two pieces of poetry and threw them to the ground, saying to Zhang Jing: "Zhang Jing, serve me well, and I will not treat you badly." "Thank you Long Live!" Zhang Jing kowtowed heavily.
