The memorial has been read, and His Royal Highness the Prince has finished his comments. According to the process, the next step is the inspection time: the Prince and his companion return to the Wenhua Hall again to ask the lecturer about some things that are not very clear about what they have learned today.
However, the Three-Character Classic is actually just the foundation among the foundations and does not involve complicated principles. Moreover, the prince has already read it. Therefore, the prince has nothing to ask, and there is nothing to talk about when speaking to officials. In the end, the prince just recited it again in front of Chen Jingbang today. As soon as the study was completed, Chen Jingbang announced that the class was over.
At this time, a eunuch wearing a young eunuch's uniform came forward and handed the thin book in his hand to Chen Jingbang.
This eunuch is none other than Chen Ju, who was just transferred to the prince a few days ago. His current job is to "attend the prince and record the prince's words and deeds" - the prince reads a memorial every day. This matter It was defined by the emperor as "watching the government", and the booklet that Chen Ju just handed to Chen Jingbang was the conversation between the prince and Gao Pragmatic and Feng Bao after he watched the government.
In his early years, Chen Ju studied calligraphy in the Si Li Supervisor and performed well, so he got this job [Note: The origin and development of the eunuch’s study in the Si Li Supervisor, readers who are interested can check it out for themselves. I may be criticized again if I write it in... …], and he not only had to record it once, but also copied it twice, and finally made three copies: one copy was kept in the Clerk of Ceremonies, one copy was given to the emperor, and one copy was forwarded to the cabinet by the lecturer on the day.
The copy just now was undoubtedly forwarded to the cabinet.
Feng Bao was also standing next to Zhu Yijun at this time, looking at the thin booklet being taken by Chen Jingbang with a gloomy look on his face, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Although theoretically speaking, Feng Bao's "official status" was far superior to that of Gao Jingshi, but in the eyes of the emperor, eunuchs were just domestic slaves, while Gao Jingshi, no matter how young he was, was still a "bachelor" - a fake bachelor's degree student. So Feng Bao could only stand aside when the prince was studying. Gao Pragmatic had a yellow pear wood desk twice as wide as the desks of later students and a straight-backed wooden chair. He was sitting there seriously at the moment, extremely serious. He looked at the Three-Character Sutra spread out on the desk.
Even Zhu Yijun felt after reading it that Gao Shidu was really serious about his study: With Gao Shidu's knowledge, what else is interesting about this Three Character Classic? He knew it by heart.
However, Gao Pragmatic actually didn't read a word of it. He just used the special skills he used in certain meetings in later generations: focusing on concentration and wandering around...
Yes, while the inspiration just now was still there, Gao Jingshi was thinking hard about the reason why Concubine Li's use of Feng Bao before and after Long Qing's death was so obvious. He intuitively believed that this might be the key to getting rid of Feng Bao.
Feng Baoneng was trusted and reused by Concubine Li. First of all, it must be because he was transferred to Prince Yu's Palace at that time early and followed him for a long time. Of course, it was easy to gain trust. But this reason is certainly not enough, because there were many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and Prince Yu's Palace allocated There were not many eunuchs here, so why weren't others as reused as Feng Bao? It couldn't be the forerunner of Lord Feng Baowei, or Lao Ai II, right?
Gao pragmatic glanced at Feng Bao subconsciously.
But yes, he has a fair face and no beard, and the roots of his beard are gone. Thinking about it again, he has a strong scent of incense, which is indeed the behavior of a normal eunuch - besides, the harem system of the Ming Dynasty is extremely strict, and the concubines are truly served by their side. There are very few eunuchs in the palace, and when there are eunuchs, there will always be palace maids nearby. It is impossible for the concubines in the harem to be alone with the eunuchs. Even if Li Guifei is talking to her brother Li Wenjin, who has purified himself and entered the palace, there will be a standing guard at the door. With the palace maid.
Talking about concubines, even the Empress Dowager had to be controlled - when Yingzong ascended the throne, he was too young to manage politics. The Empress Dowager was in charge of power, and because it was inconvenient to meet with important ministers, the voting system was created. So Feng Bao must not
Could it be that he was favored because of some dirty reason such as "unpure male roots"? It is pure nonsense to say that Zhang Juzheng had an improper relationship with Empress Dowager Li in the unofficial history - you have to say that Empress Dowager Li thought Zhang Juzheng was handsome.
If I want to use him, then I have nothing to say. Besides, Empress Dowager Li secretly showed "The Biography of Huo Guang" to Zhu Yijun and said that she admired Zhang Juzheng? This all implies that the emperor will kill him sooner or later...
Think about it again, Zhu Yijun later liquidated Zhang Juzheng and sent Feng Baofa to Xiaoling, Nanjing, to grow vegetables. What did Empress Dowager Li do? Well... there are only four words: "The Empress Dowager asked why" [Wufeng Note: "Bao Zhifa is also in Nanjing"
, the Queen Mother asked why.”].
It seems that Empress Dowager Li still remembered Feng Bao at that time, but the problem was after the emperor explained it, especially when the emperor said that when King Lu got married, all the folk jewelry was dedicated to Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao by "shameless ministers".
After protecting the two of them, so that they could not buy enough suitable jewelry outside the palace, the Queen Mother directly said: Just confiscate their homes...
It can be seen that Concubine Li or Queen Mother Li has no personal feelings for Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao - even if she does, it is far less than her concern for her two sons. She uses Zhang Juzheng because of Zhang Juzheng's ability; she uses Feng Bao.
Bao... It should be that Feng Bao has served well before, and he can cooperate well with Zhang Juzheng.
Because only in this way, the country will not be in trouble, and his son's position will be secure.
It can be seen that Concubine Li's purpose is, in the final analysis, to allow her son to firmly sit on the throne of the emperor, so that there will be no bad situation of "taking charge of the young country in doubt".
This in turn explains that when Long Qing just passed away, Gao Gong's unintentional remark "How can a ten-year-old emperor rule the world?" actually caused him to be the first and second-in-command of the emperor to be directly targeted by the empress dowagers of the two palaces in the name of the emperor.
As soon as the decree was carried out to the end, he was not even given a chance to distinguish, so he asked to leave his job and return to his hometown immediately.
You know, what the edict says is scary enough: Today there is a great scholar, Gao Gong, who is monopolizing power and ruling the country. He has taken away all the power and power of the imperial court and is not allowed to rule. I don’t know what he wants to do? There are three of us, mother and son.
I was frightened and restless. I went back to my hometown and stayed there for a while. I was not allowed to stay.
Not mentioning the charge of Zhang Juzheng's instruction and Feng Bao's false accusation, Gao Pragmatic focused his thoughts on "my mother and son were terrified" at this moment.
Fear! This is the key!
The imperial edict of Emperor Daxing has been promulgated, the emperor has been enthroned, and the distinction between monarch and ministers has been determined. Why did Gao Gong's unintentional words cause the empress dowager, emperor, mother and son to become "frightened"?
There are only two reasons: first, Gao Gong was an important minister among the important ministers in the Longqing Dynasty, and the late emperor relied on him for everything, so Gao Gong's prestige was at its peak at this time. During the previous generation of Sanyang, after the early death of Emperor Wuzong,
, he was able to bypass the royal family and decide on such a major matter as making Zhu Houcong the emperor. Later, when Jiajing succeeded to the throne, due to different political opinions, Yang Tinghe directly returned the emperor's edicts many times and refused to issue and implement them. Although after some difficult efforts, Yang Tinghe
After the tug-of-war, Jiajing finally won the victory, but it can also be seen from this how much power the chief minister of the cabinet had when the emperor was young! Then Empress Dowager Li was afraid that Gao Gong really had the intention of "abolition of the emperor and establishing a new one",
It cannot be said that it is incomprehensible.
Secondly, Feng Baoneng became the Chief of Ceremony immediately after Long Qing's death. It was obviously promoted by Empress Dowager Li behind him, and Gao Gong, because Feng Baoneng was relatively "high-level" among eunuchs, and Liu Jin
It was very similar back then, so he kept suppressing Feng Bao. This move seemed natural to Gao Gong, because he wanted to prevent the eunuchs from disrupting the government! But in the eyes of Queen Mother Li, it was not necessarily the case - you were challenging the Ai family!
Because in her eyes, Feng Bao is hers, and letting him be the chief of ceremonies can ensure that the power is in the hands of the emperor, not in the hands of Meng Chong, a "high-profile private person"!
