Zhu Yijun was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Yao, if you have any clever ideas, please tell me quickly!"
Li Wenjin did not refuse. He nodded slightly and said: "The imperial concubine and the emperor... Oh, I also want to invite the queen to come together. At the same time, I will give a decree to the cabinet. I will say that in accordance with the order of Emperor Daxing, I will appoint Gao Pragmatic to 'watch the government'."
', Attending the Emperor."
When he said this, he smiled and explained: "Although the position of 'Guan Zheng' is unprecedented, before the death of Emperor Daxing, he did say that Gao Pingshi would continue to study with the emperor. Isn't this true? And Gao Ge
Although the old man is a highly pragmatic uncle, he might deliberately avoid suspicion when encountering such a thing, but he never compromises on the execution of Emperor Daxing's words, so the emperor only needs to make sure that "Emperor Daxing's legacy"
If you use these six-character mantra to overwhelm Mr. Gao Ge, Mr. Gao Ge will definitely accept it."
Zhu Yijun heard this interestingly, laughed, and praised: "Uncle Yao really has a clever plan! Ha, when I was the prince, I proposed the system of 'prince observing government' pragmatically. Now he can't be the prince's companion, so he can be an 'observer'"
"Zheng', it's better to stay with me. I think it's just right." Then he turned to look at Concubine Li, with hope on his face: "What do you think, Concubine Mother?"
Concubine Li thought about it and felt that this method was indeed a good one, especially since he also considered the reaction of the cabinet. After all, if the cabinet did not agree with the little emperor's first personal decree and directly rejected it, what fun would it be?
But it's too big - just like when the young Emperor Jiajing was repeatedly denied imperial edicts by Yang Tinghe, it would inevitably lead to a confrontation between the emperor and the cabinet.
Now Li Wenjin has fully considered Gao Gong's mentality and believes that it is impossible for him to openly violate Emperor Daxing's order. This is equivalent to ruling out the possibility of cabinet obstruction. As long as the cabinet agrees, this decree will also have a legal basis.
.
As for the other civil and military officials, do they have any opinions?
Ha! After the cabinet signed the agreement, no matter how much they had any objections, they could only argue with the cabinet and Gao Gong. What does it have to do with us two—or three of us?
Feng Bao on the side could clearly see Concubine Li's expression. Seeing Concubine Li, she immediately nodded her head in approval and quickly interrupted: "Uncle Guo, although your idea is a good one, it seems to have a slight flaw - a big flaw.
After all, to carry out the emperor's orders is to ask Gao Pragmatic to accompany the emperor to study. This 'observation of politics'... seems to be somewhat unfair!"
Li Wenjin's smile faded a bit, and he said calmly: "If the power of the government changes, it's just a matter of urgency. The main issue at the moment is to give Gao Pragmatic a name to stay with the emperor. As for what he will do specifically... The emperor knows, the empress
The Queen knows it, the three ministers in the cabinet also know it, and Gao Pragmatic himself knows it very well, so what are we worried about? Besides, the emperor is different from the prince, so it is inappropriate to say that he accompanies the government, but changing it to "watching the government" is
It’s much more appropriate.”
Of course, the emperor, even if he is young, is theoretically the supreme person in the world. No one can legally say that he has no power to handle government affairs. Accordingly, it is obviously better to call the civil servants around him "Guanzheng" than "Guanzheng".
"Reading" is appropriate.
"This..." Feng Bao coughed dryly and reminded: "What if those people from the outer court jump out to talk about the ancestral system again, how should we deal with it?"
Li Wenjin said: "The Prince's Companion was appointed temporarily by Emperor Daxing, and now this Guanzheng was set up in accordance with the order of Emperor Daxing. The two are just different names. What's the big deal? If
Talking about ancestral system, as far as the emperor is concerned, isn’t the decree of Emperor Daxing not ancestral system?”
Well, if you want to say that, it's not impossible, but it's just a bit unreasonable.
Feng Bao still refused to give up and frowned: "But after all, the prince's accompanying reading is of no quality..."
"I didn't say that we need to be dignified in government administration!" Li Wenjin looked impatient and interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Duke Feng, what we have to do is to implement Emperor Daxing's will.
Go down and share the worries of the empress and the emperor. As for other things, no matter how big they are, they are not as big as this."
This sentence is a bit of a slap in the face, but Li Wenjin is indeed qualified to say this. No matter from his status, merit, or even the level of personal sacrifice, he has this qualification. No one dares to deny this.
——Especially denying it in front of Concubine Li.
Therefore, Feng Bao knew that he could not continue to be entangled, otherwise he would be unwilling to share the burden for the Lord, and this was completely fatal to a eunuch.
So Feng Bao had no choice but to laugh dryly and nodded in agreement: "Uncle Guo is absolutely right, but I am still too timid and timid."
Seeing that Feng Bao finally stopped objecting, Concubine Li nodded and said, "Okay, I think this is how we can handle this matter. However, the emperor has to go and talk to the Zhonggong personally about this matter." Now the two palaces.
She hadn't given a title yet, so she still couldn't call her the Queen Mother, but Concubine Li felt it was awkward to pronounce the emperor and queen so closely together, so she changed her name to Empress Chen as Zhonggong.
Zhu Yijun was not that sensitive. He was very happy when his mother-in-law agreed. He immediately agreed and wanted to leave his mother-in-law immediately to discuss with Empress Chen.
Concubine Li quickly stopped him and said: "You are a young new king, and you are very busy these days. Please stay with me for a while today, and we can talk."
Zhu Yijun naturally did not dare to disobey his mother, so he had no choice but to comply.
Concubine Li turned to Feng Bao again and said, "Feng Bao, don't stay in my Yongning Palace all day. The Chief of Ceremony and the Dongchang are both critical areas. You have to do a good job."
Feng Bao knew that Concubine Li was chasing people away, and he must have something to say to the young emperor alone. In fact, he really wanted to listen on the side, so that if something happened, he could reverse it in time, but at this time Concubine Li
As soon as the words were spoken, Feng Bao could only respond with a smile on his face, even if he didn't want to at all, and then withdrew.
As soon as Feng Bao left, Li Wenjin said: "Sister, your Majesty has a new heir, and the inner and outer courts are busy at this time. Feng Bao can't stay well in the Director of Ceremonies and the East Factory, but he comes here to work around. I'm afraid there will be something wrong."
Can I tell you the matter?"
Concubine Li glared at her younger brother and said, "You have the ability to guess everything." But after all, after finishing speaking, she sighed softly and said, "Feng Baolai won't leave in Yongning Palace.
It's a good intention, he feels that Mr. Gao seems to be suspicious of me."
Not only Zhu Yijun was surprised when he heard this, but even Li Wenjin didn't expect it and asked doubtfully: "What suspicion can Mr. Gao have about Sister A?"
Concubine Li glanced at the young emperor and said calmly: "It's nothing else. He just thinks that Mr. Gao suspects that I am competing with the middle palace for the throne."
She said it simply, but Li Wenjin understood it immediately. Zhu Yijun thought about it and seemed to understand, but the two looked at each other and neither spoke immediately.
Seeing that they were unwilling to express their opinions, Concubine Li continued: "When Zhonggong was in Yu's residence, she was the concubine of the Daxing Emperor. After entering the palace, she became the empress. Although she had differences of opinion with the Daxing Emperor due to matters the year before last, the Daxing Emperor
I have never thought about changing the Queen, I know this.
Now that my son is the heir, even if some people are worried that I will have different thoughts because of this, I can understand it. However, Mr. Gao is different. He is the chief minister entrusted by Emperor Daxing to take care of his life. If he also
I have some doubts about this, but I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the national affairs... Emperor, what do you think?"
