Zhang Jing was stunned. It was the first time he had seen the Imperial Majesty with a black face, and it was the first time he had seen the Imperial Majesty speak in such a tone.
With a shiver, Zhang Jing quickly said, "Old Slave will go now!" After that, he turned around and ran away.
With a sigh of relief, Zhu Yijun sat in the chair and continued to have a black face.
Although he knew that Zhang Juzheng had stolen love, most of it was how overbearing Zhang Juzheng was and how he dealt with those who admonished him. Now it seemed that Zhang Juzheng's punishment was light.
A group of people who talk about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but in fact, they are thieves and prostitutes.
Don't you pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust?
Which one does this practice conform to?
He really saw the shamelessness of the literati.
"Your Majesty, drink tea!"
Liu Seol gave a cup of tea to Zhu Yijun, then turned behind Zhu Yijun and gently pressed Zhu Yijun's shoulders. She did not speak again. Liu Seol knew how to behave. She knew when to speak and when to shut up.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Yijun felt a lot better. He suddenly felt a little guilty about Zhang Juzheng in his heart.
Perhaps Zhang Juzheng was greedy for power, but how much of it was for him? Zhu Yijun himself did not dare to say. What he did a while ago seemed to be a little too much.
But soon this feeling disappeared. It might be that people in Jianghu had no choice.
He needed to quickly take over the state affairs after Zhang Juzheng left. If there was really nothing, his succession would definitely be problematic.
Zhang Juzheng was Daming, and he was also Daming. He had no choice!
While Zhu Yijun was thinking about what to do, Zhang Hong's voice suddenly came from outside and said loudly, "The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
Zhu Yijun's face became bitter in an instant. He forgot that there was such a great master!
Queen Dowager Li would definitely pay attention to this matter, but Zhu Yijun also understood that Queen Dowager Li's attitude must be that she wanted Zhang Juzheng to steal love.
In the matter of Zhang Juzheng stealing love, Zhu Yijun and Queen Dowager Li had no conflict.
Queen Dowager Li came in from the outside and glanced at Zhu Yijun who saluted to her. She waved her hand and said with a heavy face, "Okay, sit down and talk!" After that, she sat down first.
Zhu Yijun also sat down. The atmosphere in the hall was instantly frozen, and the pressure was much lower.
Liu Seol, who was quite relaxed, now lowered her head and covered her chest. She did not dare to speak at this time.
Queen Dowager Li's authority in the palace was much greater than that of Zhu Yijun. After all, in charge of the harem, the Empress Dowager was more legitimate than Queen Dowager Li.
"About the death of Mr. Zhang's father, I have already known, right?" Queen Dowager Li glanced at Zhu Yijun and asked expressionlessly.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "I have received the report from the ministers!"
"Then what are you going to do?" Queen Dowager Li asked immediately.
As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the hall dropped again. The emperor was an adult and would get married next year. According to the etiquette, he should take charge of the government next year.
Whether it was Minister Zhang Juzheng or Queen Dowager Li, they should all hand over their power.
How could there be fools in the palace? All fools were dead. This was a sensitive issue in the palace. Hearing the Empress Dowager's words, the palace maids and eunuchs almost didn't dare to breathe.
The eunuchs and palace maids all knew that the Bureau of Rites was nominally under Zhang Hong, but in fact, it was the Empress Dowager who had the final say. Perhaps not in Dongchang, but the Imperial Jade Seal was in the Empress Dowager's hands.
Grand Secretary Zhang was in charge of the Cabinet. If Grand Secretary Zhang kept to the rules this time, the emperor would definitely take charge of the government.
When the emperor took back the Cabinet, the Bureau of Rites would definitely be under his control.
Not to mention anything else, Zhang Hong would definitely be replaced. This was the saying, "A new emperor brings his own ministers". The atmosphere in the palace had been very depressed these days.
Especially after the emperor lost his temper just now, no one dared to say anything now.
Queen Dowager Li watched closely. She was worried that her son would take this opportunity to drive Zhang Juzheng home.
The incident last time was still fresh in her mind. Coupled with her son's desire for power, she really couldn't rest assured ah!
This time, it was perfectly justifiable to send Zhang Juzheng home. How could Queen Dowager Li not be worried? Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed over in such a hurry.
"Imperial Son, can you personally review the memorials from the various prefectures?
Whether the officials are virtuous or not, does Imperial Son know?
There are no small details in the affairs of the court. Does Imperial Son have his own opinion?
In times of famine, disasters and civil unrest at the borders, does Imperial Son have an opinion? "
"When your Imperial Father passed away, Daming the world was in a storm. Who was the one who was loyal and brave?
Who was the one who racked his brains? "
"The imperial court is short of finances and can't make ends meet. Who was the one who thought of ways to enrich the country and strengthen the army?
Imperial Son, Daming can't do without Mister Zhang! "
Zhu Yijun's face showed agreement, but his heart was very calm. He knew that Queen Dowager Li would definitely say so.
At the same time, Zhu Yijun could also see that when his Imperial Father passed away, he was still young. Queen Dowager Li really suffered a lot of shock.
After so long, the psychological shadow was still so heavy. She always felt that without Zhang Juzheng, she had no one to rely on.
Sighing, Zhu Yijun thought of a word often mentioned by women in the future. That was: sense of security!
When her Imperial Father was still alive, she had someone to rely on. But her Imperial Father suddenly passed away. Her son was still young, and Daming was in a precarious situation. One could imagine the pressure Queen Dowager Li faced.
At this time, Zhang Juzheng appeased the imperial court, drove away Gao Gong, and stabilized the Daming Empire. Zhang Juzheng injected a strong sense of security into the empty and helpless heart of Queen Dowager Li.
Zhu Yijun believed that there was no personal love involved, but this sense of security and trust was really irreplaceable.
For example, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang. The sense of security that Zhuge Liang could give Liu Chan, perhaps Queen Dowager Li could also find in Zhang Juzheng.
Of course, in Queen Dowager Li's eyes, Gao Gong was a complete bad guy.
Originally, Queen Dowager Li still had one person to rely on, and that was Feng Bao, but Feng Bao was dead.
In the face of this Daming Empire, in the face of the ancestral foundation, it was estimated that the only person Queen Dowager Li could rely on and trust was Zhang Juzheng.
If Zhang Juzheng was still in control, then the most flustered person in her heart should be Queen Dowager Li.
"Mother, please teach me!" Zhu Yijun simply stopped talking. This time, he would be a filial son!
Anyway, he knew what Queen Dowager Li wanted to do. It was nothing more than to steal love for Zhang Juzheng. He also wanted to steal love for Zhang Juzheng, so he pretended to follow his mother's wishes and make her happy.
Seeing Zhu Yijun's attitude, Queen Dowager Li really relaxed, and her expression eased a lot.
Zhang Hong, who had been standing next to Queen Dowager Li, said at this time, "There were many ministers in the Daming Empire who had stolen love, especially the Cabinet Grand Secretary. In the sixth month of the sixth year of Emperor Chengzu, Yang Rong was in control of Ding You, and in the tenth month, he recovered."
