When Zhu Yijun went to the Ci Ning Palace, Empress Dowager Chen smiled and said that I was only feeling a little uncomfortable. When the empress heard about it, she insisted on coming back to visit me.
Zhu Yijun came out of the Ci'an Palace and said to the eunuch, "Go ask around, where did the Empress go when she returned to the palace today?"
Zhu Yijun sat at the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the report. Zhang Cheng served him some tea and looked at him, "Don't you know that the empress has returned to the palace?"
"When this servant found out, the Empress had already left the palace for the Ying Tai." Zhang Cheng said with a bitter face.
"You are a eunuch now, you have a lot of things on your hands." Zhu Yijun looked at him and said. The empress had returned from the Ying Tai to the palace once, but no one reported in front of him.
Zhang Cheng kneeled down, "All of this food is given to me by His Majesty. Your Majesty will do whatever he wants me to do as a servant.
"Sure, from now on you will serve in front of me, I don't need you to go with me." Zhu Yijun said.
Zhang Cheng immediately thanked him. After retreating to the side, he actually felt a bit of heartache. Without the lower part of the sword in eunuch, he would be more greedy than normal men in terms of power and money. It would be a lie to say that the eunuchs who served as His Majesty's side had no opinion about power, especially since the emperor was not very interested in court at the moment. The cabinet ministers had to pass on more information to the emperor through the eunuchs.
When Feng Bao went to Nanjing, Zhang Cheng revealed himself. There was also Chen Ju, but he was polite and friendly with Chen Ju, getting along well. He had always known that if he wanted to stand at the top of the Qianqing Palace, he would have to do his homework in front of the Emperor. His Majesty used to listen to everything Feng Bao said before, but why did Feng Bao ask a group of eunuchs to accompany him when he went to Nanjing to play?
Zhang Cheng saw that Feng Bao still said that she wanted to learn from his mistakes, but when he reached the edge of power, he became flustered. Zhang Cheng was now under the close attention of the Emperor, Zhang Cheng thought, this was also a good warning bell.
As long as his majesty still needed him, one day, he would be able to go up to the court.
Chen Ju came in to report that after the Empress had gone to the two palaces at Ci Ning Palace today, she had gone to the Kunning Palace and met with the two instructors at the Faculty Division.
"Faculty Division?" Zhu Yijun said, "Oh yes, the Empress used to like to call me Song Wu, do you still want to call me that now?"
"It's been a long time since I've called out." Chen Ju said.
"That's a punishment." Zhu Yijun said, "How could I neglect the Empress."
"It would be too easy for him to take the position, so he was punished to plunder his family's wealth and be exiled for three thousand miles." Zhu Yijun said.
Chen Ju noted it down.
Zhu Yijun looked at the time, and he did not go to the harem again today. He only went to rest at Qianqing Palace, and after waking up, he said to Zhang Cheng, "Do you think Empress is angry?"
"Why is the Empress angry?" Zhang Cheng said, "The Empress is so magnanimous, she never gets angry easily."
"I feel that something is amiss." Zhu Yijun said, "Didn't the Kunning Palace leave the palace maid in the palace for us to ask?"
Fangruo was randomly called into the Qianqing Palace, but when she saw that Chen Ju was giving her looks that said that he had nothing to do, she felt at ease, and went inside to look at him.
"How was the empress's expression yesterday when she returned to the palace?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"The Empress's complexion is the same as usual." Fangruo replied.
"Why did the Queen call the people from Faculty Division over?" Zhu Yijun asked.
In the end, only Miss Yanluo was there. After returning to the palace, the person who knew that the Faculty Division was in the palace, so she called over to ask about it. " Fangruo said.
"The empress is angry." Zhu Yijun said, but he did not have any more questions.
"The Empress doesn't seem angry." Fangruo said.
"She must be angry." Zhu Yijun said, "Alright, you can go now."
"Men, go to the Ying Tai." Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Rong He felt a headache coming on this morning. He was a bit depressed in his heart. He couldn't vent it out, he couldn't get it out, he couldn't get it out. He couldn't eat well, and he couldn't drink sweet tea either. Recently, she liked letting the palace maid make tea using cold water and honey. She put it into the well and used it to cool the well water.
When the sun was high in the sky, a cup of wine would be served. It was cool and refreshing.
However, there was nothing she could do. She could only drink at most one pot a day. "This doctor said it's better to eat less cold food."
Wang Rong leaned on the couch and stared at the lake in a daze. Rong Chang knew that she was in a bad mood today and did not come over to pester her.
When the Emperor hurriedly came to the Ying Tai, everyone prepared to welcome him. When Wang Rong and the others heard that he had come, they felt even more annoyed and immediately laid down on the ground, covering their faces with a thin blanket, "Tell them that I can't get up, I can't welcome you."
The moment Zhu Yijun came up, he saw her like this, he waved his hand left and right, sitting on the edge of the bed, he pulled her blanket and laughed: "We knew Zitong was angry."
"What do I have to be angry about?" Wang Rong who was protecting the blanket did not let him pull it away, and said while buzzing under the blanket.
"We don't know either. That little rascal from Faculty Division actually behaved well in front of us, and even stopped the Empress's daily song and dance show." Zhu Yijun coaxed, "Who doesn't know that empress is an elegant person? You must enjoy the ditty every day. "
"Don't be angry, I have exiled that person for three thousand miles." Zhu Yijun still did not know that Wang Rong He had already said that he would exile him, which resulted in the officials hearing the empress's orders one after another. With the addition of the orders from the king, they were directly sentenced to exile 6000 miles away.
However, this made everyone from the Faculty Division stop thinking about sending women in front of the emperor. He did not see, His Majesty was happy at first, but the Queen was unhappy later and spoke of exile without mercy.
He was still counting on His Majesty to recite the praises so that the emperor would not be able to protect him. This was also not a glorious matter.
The censor had already prepared a paper clip to privately purchase from the Faculty Division, but with the palace's punishment being so timely and so heavy, the paper clip was a little unable to be given out. The bystanders advised him, "Fortunately, the Empress is still a sensible person, so there won't be such a thing in the future.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yijun, the diligent emperor, had become the emperor of the imperial palace. After going through his initial unease, the courtier was now still what it should be like, it did not really matter, the government affairs were still organized and orderly, His Majesty did not go up to the imperial palace nor did he not do anything about it. Every time the officials entered the palace, they had to wait until the afternoon before leaving, and the orders of the emperor were not to go down.
His Majesty was rarely seen, but he was relaxed. Everyone was envious of the capital city officials. Were they that easy to be? Every day, the morning assembly was unspeakably bitter. Now that he had taken turns to draw lots, the mood was extremely relaxed.
Other emperors needed to build palaces no matter what if they have money or not, but when Zhang Juzheng said that he would fix palaces a few times, he was rejected, and he didn't say anything more. Now, no one dared to refute him, not to mention building palaces, he wanted to change the land in the inner city instead.
When the stone road was paved, the benefits were immediate. Before this, he had said that the people who wanted to repair the road first would all command their master to go to the engineering department to sit there. He wanted the engineering department to build the road in front of their house first.
The people did not care that His Majesty did not go to court. They only felt that His Majesty was a good emperor who had sent his heart to the people.
It was also the emperor's fault for not being able to buy people to send to the palace on his own. If the emperor wanted to fill the harem, he could casually choose his own Imperial Consort Candidate.
Someone slapped their head and prepared to turn the tables, asking His Majesty to carry out a talent selection with the Imperial Consort Candidate as the harem.
"We have also told the Faculty Division that in the future, whenever we perform, we must also perform in front of the Empress. This way, even if we are not together, Zitong and I will still be able to see the same thing." Zhu Yijun did not see the paper, and was still coaxing Wang Rong.
Wang Rong He lifted his quilt and sat up, staring at Zhu Yijun: "Your majesty actually thinks that I'm angry because of this?" He was so surprised and ridiculous that he couldn't even keep his voice down.
"Not for this? Is there any other disrespect? " Zhu Yijun frowned, "The Faculty Division is too outrageous."
"Your Majesty." Wang Rong and the sound of her voice getting heavier, it's you who are so outrageous. A woman died for you without a single accident, yet you don't care at all.
"Does Your Majesty remember that a few days ago, you left a female dancer with profound strength in the palace?" Wang Rong and seeing that he really did not seem to know, she reminded him.
"That seems to be the case." Zhu Yijun thought for a while, then said vaguely, "We decided to stay after liking it."
"Then Your Majesty likes her. Didn't you know that she was choked to death by a lump of Lotus Root Starch that day?" Wang Rong asked.
"Then she has no luck." Zhu Yijun said, then seeing that Wang Rong He had stopped talking, he turned his body with his back facing him, his shoulders moving up and down, it was obvious that he was extremely angry.
Zhu Yijun thought about it more carefully. He was probably choked to death by the Lotus Root Starch. Furthermore, with the sensitive status of the Faculty Division Dancer, he was not an idiot. Naturally, he had thought of something and went forward to hug Wang Rongzhi's shoulder. "Did you get scared by mother's thunder-like methods?"
Wang Rong shook her shoulders in anger and said to Zhu Yijun, "Does Your Majesty think that I would be scared when I see others do it, or when I deal with it myself?"
"You're not like that." Zhu Yijun said. I still don't believe you? "
"But if Your Majesty is like this, then I can only become this sort of person." Wang Rong He said, "From previous dynasties to now, there have been many emperors who liked visiting women. Does Your Majesty want to make me look so awkward?"
Wang Rong trembled in anger, Zhu Yijun held her shoulders, "That's not necessary."
"It's just a female dancer with Faculty Division, how can she drag a female?"
"I believe that Faculty Division does not dare to offer unclean women to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty does not know what kind of reputation Faculty Division has there before, and others do. If they are all sinners, does His Majesty have any face when he is lucky? "
"The harem is His Majesty's woman. I don't care what His Majesty is like. If you feel that the harem can't satisfy your majesty, you can pick one. " Wang Rong He said, "But if there's such a thing, I'm afraid the one with blood on my hands will be me."
"His Majesty knows that I am timid. If I were more than a few times, I would have been scared to death. Then it would be the end of it."
"How can you say such angry words?" Zhu Yijun said, "In the future, we will not be like this. "Trust me."
"I had previously believed that His Majesty knew his limits." Wang Rong said stiffly.
"At that time, I did not think too much about it." Zhu Yijun explained.
"His Majesty didn't think too much about it once. There will be a next time."
"Gradually, you will feel that this is not a big deal."
"Your Majesty, you will listen to me today. Will you listen to me next time? Can you listen to it in the future? " Wang Rong and the interrogation.
"Listen, this emperor has never disobeyed you." Zhu Yijun said.
"Are you listening in perfunctory or serious?" Wang Rong He said, "Your Majesty, don't lie to me. Even if Your Majesty doesn't listen to me, I can't do anything."
"Listen seriously." Zhu Yijun promised, "I was careless."
"There won't be a next time."
The two of them had agreed that Wang Rong and Zhu Yijun would not stay for the night as they didn't want him to stay and sleep at their place. They chased him to the Imperial Consort Yi's place and settled down at night before lying down on the bed and looking at the moon in the sky.
That year, when Rong Chang and His Majesty were present, only the two of them were honest and passionate. Thinking back to today, she felt that it had been a long time.
Wang Rong stared blankly at the moon outside, the tears in her eyes sliding down from the corners of her eyes to her pillowcase. Everything was silent, even her master did not know.
The moon was round today.
