Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 58: Get everyone out of here!
  Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun sat slumped on the splendid dragon chair as if he was wilted, his whole person was lifeless and lifeless.

Zhu Yijun sat like this for a whole day. The circles under his eyes were so dark and purple, but he didn't sleep either, he just sat there in a daze.

No one knows what Zhu Yijun is thinking, not even Zhu Yijun himself knows what he is thinking.

He just felt that his thoughts were messy and scattered, and he was thinking about the time when he was ten years old.

That was the first year that Zhu Yijun ascended the throne. At that time, the era name of the Ming Dynasty had been changed from "the sixth year of Longqing" to "the first year of Wanli".

By then Gao Gong had left, and Zhang Juzheng became the chief minister of the cabinet.

Zhu Yijun remembered that it was a very ordinary day. As usual, he went to the Wenhua Hall to attend the daily banquet lecture at the sunrise, and did not return to the palace until lunch at noon. After lunch, he took a nap as usual, and when he woke up, he continued reading.

Zhu Yijun has been repeating such days for nearly a year. Of course, a ten-year-old child would find such days boring, but he is the emperor, and the emperor must do this.

This is what his Mr. Zhang and his other gentlemen said to him.

Although the daily life was a bit boring, the little emperor suddenly started looking forward to it when he thought that Mr. Zhang would come to 'tell stories' to him later in the day.

The little emperor's favorite 'learning session' was listening to Zhang Juzheng telling him stories. Those stories were all from a book called "The Legend of Emperor Jian Tu Shuo".

This book was proposed by Zhang Juzheng and compiled specifically for the little emperors. It describes various 'good and bad' deeds of emperors in the past dynasties.

In order to make the ten-year-old emperor interested in learning, Zhang Juzheng proposed to compile books using pictures and stories.

Facts have proved that the effect is good, the little emperor likes it very much, and the learning efficiency has also been greatly improved.

This is a very ordinary day. Zhu Yijun thought that this day would pass peacefully as before, but...

That afternoon, Zhu Yijun's naughty brother Zhu Yiliu came to play with him. He also brought a small jar with two crickets in it.

Zhu Yijun doesn't like fighting with crickets. In his opinion, fighting with crickets is not as fun as playing with birds. And he still wants to endorse it. You know, Mr. Zhang will have to memorize it later.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun decisively rejected Zhu Yili's invitation to fight crickets.

At this time, the spoiled Zhu Yili was not happy anymore. He just lay down on the ground and rolled around, crying and noisy, and his cries were very sharp and harsh.

It is very annoying when a child acts up and cries. Although Zhu Yijun is an older brother, he is only a ten-year-old child. Seeing that his brother refused to listen no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, he lost his good temper.

He directly picked up Zhu Yili, who was lying on the ground and refused to leave, and dragged him to the outside of Qianqing Palace!
  Ten years old versus six years old, Zhu Yijun had the obvious advantage. He just dragged his noisy little brother and threw him out of the Qianqing Palace!

After solving the trouble, Zhu Yijun went back to continue his endorsement.

I thought this matter would be over, but this time, an accident happened!
  Zhu Yijun remembered that Queen Mother Li was very angry when she came to see him. She was so angry that even Zhang Juzheng was standing by and she didn't shy away from it and just asked him to kneel down!

Zhu Yijun was dumbfounded. What kind of etiquette would it be for him, the emperor, to kneel down in front of an outsider like Zhang Juzheng?
  After Zhang Juzheng's questioning, Zhu Yijun found out that the reason why Queen Mother Li was so angry was because something happened to his brother Zhu Yili.

According to Zhu Yijun, when he was dragged out of the Qianqing Palace by Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun's attitude was very bad. He not only scolded him, but was even so cruel that he pulled his hand and dislocated it. Zhu Yijun couldn't remember whether he had treated his younger brother so cruelly. He only remembered that Queen Mother Li, who loved her young son eagerly, was very angry. She not only scolded him in front of Zhang Juzheng, but even forced him to do it in front of Zhang Juzheng. kneel.

In the end, after Zhang Juzheng and Queen Mother Li begged for mercy, Zhu Yijun was exempted from the punishment of kneeling on the spot. However, he was still punished to kneel in the Ancestral Temple for a whole day.

After kneeling for a day, Zhang Juzheng punished him by copying the words in the "Disciple Rules" a hundred times: brothers are brothers, brothers are friends, brothers are respectful. Brothers are in harmony and filial piety lies in the middle.

When Zhu Yijun, whose thoughts were scattered, recalled this past event, his heart was very calm, so calm that it could be said that there was no disturbance, until the eunuch Zhang Jing presented him with an urgent memorial.

This memorial was written overnight by Zhu Yijun's "good brother" King Lu, Zhu Yiliu.

After Zhu Yijun took the memorial, he read it word by word. As he looked at it, he suddenly smiled.

"Haha...hahahaha..."

The laughter grew louder, and the waves began to surge in the calm heart that had been suppressed.

When the emperor laughed, the eunuch's soul was frightened away.

Zhang Jing has followed Zhu Yijun for so many years, and he knows very well that His Majesty the Emperor is not happy when he smiles like this, but is about to get angry!

Zhu Yijun was still laughing, and the more he laughed, the more crazy he became.

Zhang Jing felt like he was sweating profusely when he saw this. He even wanted to melt on the wall behind him to avoid the disaster in front of him.

However, at this 'final moment', another memorial came.

This memorial was drafted by Shen Shixing. Zhu Yijun suppressed the anger that was about to burst out in his heart and opened it to look at it.

"Slandering the vassals, seizing the king's tomb and palace; suppressing the officials and blocking my wisdom; monopolizing power and disrupting the government... That's all? What about corruption and bribery?"

Zhu Yijun could no longer laugh. His eyes became colder and colder as he looked at the "crimes" planned by Shen Shi and Zhang Juzheng in the memorial.

His first reaction was to reject the memorial, but in an instant, he remembered what Zhu Yili mentioned in the memorial that Qiu Li was crazy.

Not only did so many members of the Zhang family die during this house raid, but a court official also died and another court official went crazy.

Moreover, the accidents of these two imperial officials were caused by being "possessed by evil spirits", as if... they all suffered retribution?
  Zhu Yijun never believed in retribution. He was the emperor and the whole world belonged to him. Who dared to retaliate against him? Even the God in heaven should only be able to protect him! Just bless him!
  Zhu Yijun knew that these things were not simple, and he even knew that someone must be playing tricks on them!
  But he knew better that when things got to this point, not only did so many people die, but in the end it also involved King Lu Zhu Yiliu and him, the emperor!
  All in all, this Zhang family cannot continue to copy...

"Your Majesty, Concubine Gong and the eldest son of the Emperor have come to see you. Are you..."

"Snapped!"

Before the palace official finished speaking, he was interrupted by His Majesty the Emperor's violent action of throwing a tea bowl!
  Suddenly, all the palace residents were so frightened that they fell to their knees and did not dare to raise their heads!

"Get out! Get out of here! Get out of here!" Zhu Yijun's eyes were scarlet and he roared loudly.

This young and vigorous emperor couldn't bear it anymore!
