Ming Dynasty 1566

Chapter 91

"Kick! Kick!" Shizi Tianzong is smart, he can already say a lot of words at the age of eight months, and his body is bigger than ordinary one-year-old children.At this time, he was riding on the eunuch's shoulders, shouting anxiously, but he still called the word "kick" into the word "deception".

At the order of Concubine Li, Feng Bao and the five eunuchs all came here along with the eldest son.Still according to the way of playing in the front yard, Feng Bao kicked the ball, four eunuchs stood at the four corners of the yard to catch the ball, and one eunuch had the right to act as a horse for the prince to ride and throw the ball.

Seeing that Feng Bao's foot was still hooked to the ball and stopped in the air, the prince kept yelling the word "deception".Feng Bao was still hesitant lying on the ground with the ball hooked - despite Concubine Li's orders, after all, he knew what day it was and what the prince was feeling today, so he couldn't help but glance at the gate of the palace.

With this glance, he saw the eyes of Concubine Li standing in front of the window in the palace outside the bedroom and looking at him.

That look clearly ordered him to let go and play ball with Shizi!

At this time, apart from sleeping at night, the son couldn't do without Feng Bao during the day.King Yu and Concubine Li were also relieved, and simply handed over the son to him from the moment they opened their eyes.At this time, Feng Bao had realized that everything was false in the turmoil outside, only the son in front of him was real, and he would be settled by him for the rest of his life, and the other things were just dealt with.With such a thorough understanding, he really fell in love, not only teaching the rules every day, but also racking his brains to think of tricks to make the future prince of the Ming Dynasty happy and healthy.Thanks to his ability to recruit, he called the five eunuchs to the front yard early in the morning every day to play ball with the crown prince.Just for the half hour every morning, Feng Bao practiced hard at night for countless nights, until now, he no longer uses his hands at all.The ball was all kicked to the top of the head, and most of them were able to kick the ball as they wished to the place where Shizi could catch it.

At this moment and here, the concubine's meaning is so clear, Feng Bao understands that this is the time to make the master happy to see himself working hard, so why not try his best?But seeing his ankle retracted slightly, his eyes fixed on Shizi's direction, and he kicked the ball out!
The ball flew parabolicly above Shizi's head.

The prince on the eunuch's shoulder immediately opened his eyes wide and became excited.

In front of the window, Concubine Li also opened her eyes wide.

The ball unexpectedly fell slowly in front of Shizi, Shizi caught it as soon as he stretched out his hand, and giggled.

The other eunuchs had already established a tacit understanding. Whenever Shizi caught the ball, they would applaud, but they knew that there was a place for size, and the applause just lowered their voices.

"My lord, come and see!" Concubine Li wanted to distract King Yu, but at this moment she looked back at King Yu with a smile and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty can catch the ball!"

Of course, King Yu heard the uproar in the yard and understood Concubine Li's intentions. Although that heart was not here, he still stood up slowly and walked to the window.Seeing that Shizi caught the ball, his face was expressionless, but he was happy in his heart.What made him even happier was that he saw Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng led into the compound by the porter.

Seeing Gao and Zhang coming, Concubine Li immediately shouted from the window of the bedroom: "Feng Daban, lead the son to play in the front yard!"

As soon as Shizi threw the ball, Feng Bao stretched out his foot to catch it, hooked the ball with his foot and kicked it into his hand, walked up to Shizi and handed it to him: "Master Shizi, the masters are here, let's go to the front yard Play." After speaking, he led the eunuchs towards the gate of the courtyard, and did not forget to bow to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng: "Two masters are well." He walked out of the gate first.

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng walked into King Yu's bedroom and saw King Yu sitting on a chair in the middle. After paying their respects, they went to stand in front of the chairs on both sides. They hadn't seen each other for more than [-] days. After meeting, neither of them spoke. silence.

At this time, the maids avoided as usual, Concubine Li was pouring tea for the two of them herself, and the two quickly bowed to one side.

Concubine Li poured tea: "Two masters, please sit down." After saying that, she put down the teapot and walked towards the inner room of the bedroom.

"Listen to it too." King Yu stopped her, "You are also reading "Zhu Zi Yu Lei". Finally, both masters have come, let's listen to it together."

Concubine Li was happy in her heart and had a serious face, she sat quietly beside him.

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng just sat down on the chairs, they both knew why King Yu was urgently summoned this time, and they waited quietly for him to speak.

Of course, King Yu was eager to say those words, but he still talked about the topic of lectures: "I have been watching Zhu Zi's argument of reason and qi. Zhu Zi's argument is good, and qi is evil. He also said that it has been 500 years since From Yao and Shun to Duke Zhou to Confucius, they couldn’t practice reasoning, and they said that everything is qi. Why is good reason always ineffective, but qi is everywhere. Please tell me, two masters.”

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng glanced at each other, seeing that King Yu entered the question so cautiously, they immediately felt the warmth of "Jun Mi Chen An", and they nodded in relief.

Gao Gong said: "Tai Yue, you have drilled deeply into the study of Li Qi, you can explain it to the prince."

Zhang Juzheng: "My lord, this is a good question. The principle Zhu Zi talked about is an ancient existence. Whether you can do it or not, it is there. It is like the wind in the sky. There is an east wind in spring and a west wind in autumn. When the spring travels east, everything grows, and in autumn it travels The west wind is the crouching of all things, and life is good, and crouching is also good. The spring and autumn are in order, and the four seasons have permanence, so that all things can rest and live. This is the principle of heaven and time. Qi is everywhere, and it also moves with the wind and against the wind. It still works when there is no wind. Zhu Zi said here that qi is evil, which means that there is no wind. For example, people’s desires are what they want, and they want what they don’t want. Everyone is born with insatiable greed. This is the air of unruliness and guidance. Once this air is released, it will spread everywhere, and it will be collected from top to bottom. Those who are officials will be greedy, and those who serve the people will steal, so the evil air will be everywhere." Speaking of this, he After a pause, he raised his voice: "But after all, there is a sun in the sky, and the sun is flickering. The windless air will eventually dissipate one day. In the past dynasties, when there was no wind and only air, the sun was flickering and the air was about to die. It's all over."

King Yu thought so, nodded heavily, and wanted to follow his words to get to the point, but still hesitated, and couldn't help looking at Concubine Li.

Concubine Li immediately understood what King Yu meant, she wanted to ask herself to start a topic, so she met King Yu's eyes knowingly: "My lord, can I ask a question?"

King Yu: "Since I asked you to listen, of course you can ask."

Concubine Li glanced at Zhang Juzheng quickly, and quickly lowered her gaze: "Master Zhang, for example, if a monarch employs people, who is wind and who is qi?"

It cuts to the point so cleverly, and cutting it in is such a big problem!Zhang Juzheng's eyes flickered, and he looked at Gao Gong, Gao Gong's eyes also lit up, the two of them met their eyes, and they both appreciated and respected the shrewdness of the concubine Wang in their hearts.

This is especially the case for Zhang Juzheng. For some reason, whenever he faces this princess, his heart thumps like a deer jumps. Hearing her ask him such a question, he didn't know how to answer it, so he had to pass the answer to Gao Gong. : "Brother Suqing, tell the princess about this reason."

Gao Gong: "My concubine's question made my ministers admire. This answer Zhuge Liang has already said in "The List of Teachers", 'The prospering ministers are far away from the villains, so the Han Dynasty prospered, and the prosperous ministers are far from the virtuous ministers, so the Han Dynasty declined later. '. That is to say, a virtuous minister is the wind, and a villain is the air." At this point, he also became excited: "The virtuous ministers and villains are always there and everywhere, and they are just used by the emperor. Shicai Taiyue said that the past dynasties In the past dynasties, there was no wind, only qi, and the qi was about to be exhausted. If the monarch can select virtuous officials in time to dismiss the villain, and there is morality, the vitality of this dynasty will not be exhausted, but the qi of the villain will be exhausted."

"My Ming Dynasty should be at the end of its scumbag!" King Yu stood up abruptly, and asked loudly without hesitation: "You said, Yang Jinshui took it this time, and the Shangyi Supervisor, the Scarf and Hat Bureau, The Needle Industry Bureau has also taken a lot of villainous slaves, is the father going to completely wipe out the traitors!"

"The key is the confession sent by Zhejiang this time!" Gao Gong also stood up and said excitedly, "If the confession sent this time is still the confession from Hai Rui's interrogation last time, today should be the day to eliminate the traitors!"

Zhang Juzheng followed and stood up.Concubine Li also stood up.There was excitement in everyone's eyes.

"I went to the south of the Yangtze River, and I can't even reply!" Huang Jin walked to the door of the guard's room and heard Chen Hong showing his power here, his face darkened, and he went straight in.

The original five chairs on the north wall of the supervisory office are still five chairs, but Chen Hong is sitting on the chair in the middle where Lu Fang used to sit, and Eunuch Shi is still sitting on the last chair on Chen Hong’s right, and Chen Hong is sitting on the left. The last chair was still occupied by the eunuch Bingbi, but the two chairs next to Chen Hong were empty. The one on the right was originally occupied by Chen Hong, and the one on the left was still occupied by Huang Jin.

Today, there are two people with special identities sitting upside down on the chairs on both sides, they are two imperial physicians from the imperial hospital.

The two Jin Yiwei who escorted Yang Jinshui were kneeling in the guard room and being scolded by Chen Hong.

Seeing Huang Jin come in, Eunuch Shi and the other eunuch Bingbi stood up, as did the two imperial physicians.

Chen Hong originally didn't want to stand up, but knowing that he was coming from Yuxi Palace, he had no choice but to stand up slowly, and asked politely: "Master has a will?"

Huang Jin walked over and stood in front of his chair: "Interrogate Yang Jinshui carefully, and then submit the memorial from Zhejiang."

Chen Hong: "That's it, we are interrogating." After saying this, he took the lead and sat down.

Huang Jin, Eunuch Shi and another eunuch who held a pen followed suit.

The two imperial doctors sat down slowly with their buttocks next to the edge of the chair.

Chen Hong stared at the two kneeling Jinyiwei again: "I heard it, the emperor is waiting for an answer. Let me ask you again, when did Yang Jinshui go crazy? How did you go crazy? How do you know?" Is he really crazy?"

The two Jin Yiwei glanced at each other.

"Yes. It's the subordinates who can't answer clearly." The older one had to report again, "Yang Jinshui went crazy on June 21. He was raging all day and all night for ten days in a row. It is said that many ghosts came to him. Seven On the first day of the month, when the decree was announced, he became demented, no longer noisy, and no longer talked. He ate when he was fed, drank when he was fed, and he didn’t feel hungry if he didn’t feed him. body."

"It can be seen that this is pretending to be crazy!" Chen Hong was no longer impatient with their reply, and shouted, "Where is the person?"

The eunuch on duty immediately replied outside the door: "Go back to Eunuch Chen, he is washing him outside."

"I heard that you also brought the confessions of Zheng Michang and He Maocai who were re-examined in Zhejiang?" Chen Hong then asked the two Jinyiwei.

"Bring it." A Jin Yiwei took out the brown paper with three feathers stuck to it from his bosom and urgently delivered it, but it was either presented or not, and said hesitantly, "Zhao Zhongcheng said that the servants are required to send it." Hand it over to Eunuch Lu. Then Eunuch Lu will present it to the Emperor Long Live."

"Eunuch Lu? Is there Eunuch Lu here?" Chen Hong immediately lowered his face.

Lu Fang was suddenly sent to Yongling by Jiajing, with the purpose of inspecting the auspicious land of Wannian. He did not explicitly remove his palm seal eunuch, but asked Chen Hong to temporarily sign the palm seal. Although there were many speculations inside and outside the palace, after all, he dared not tell .The two guards in Jin Yi had been on the road for a while, so of course they didn't know what to do, and now seeing Chen Hong sitting in Lu Fang's position with such an expression, they realized that there was a big change in the palace, and they were stunned for a while.

Eunuch Shi spoke at this time: "Eunuch Lu sent to Yongling to supervise the construction of the Wannian Jiyang. Now Eunuch Chen is in charge here."

"What are you talking so much to these slaves?" Chen Hong immediately raised his authority, and ordered to that Eunuch Shi: "Bring the things here!"

Eunuch Shi didn't have any expression on his face at this moment, he just got up and went over to take the urgent delivery from the kraft paper seal, then turned around and handed it to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong took the memorial and wanted to tear the seal.

At this time, Huang Jin spoke: "Eunuch Chen, since Zhao Zhenji said to ask Eunuch Lu to present to the emperor, it means that only the emperor can see the things in it. If Eunuch Lu is not here, we'd better not look at it."

Chen Hong's hands stopped, and his face was gloomy: "In the past, didn't the memorials of all provinces have to be read by the supervisors before they were submitted to the emperor?"

Huang Jin, like Chen Hong, is usually Lu Fang's right and left arm. Seeing him like a Cao Cao has long been uncomfortable. At this time, he caught the reason and insisted: "It used to be like this. But now Lu Gonggong Let's go, none of us are the masters of the official palm print. According to the rules of the palace, if the palm print is not in the memorial, it should be submitted directly to the emperor. Of course, Eunuch Chen wanted to see it, and we will not stop you. You look first, you look After leaving our house, I will present it to the emperor."
