"My son, come here quickly!"
As soon as Zhu Yijun stepped into the gate of Cining Palace, Mr. Lee said to Zhu Yijun with a smile.
Since Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, Mrs. Chen had lived in Cining Palace. Although she didn't have the title of Empress Dowager, she was already the Empress Dowager.
After all, Mr. Lee was the biological mother of the Emperor. No one dared to say anything in the Imperial Palace. Zhu Yijun didn't adopt Mrs. Chen.
As the former Emperor's Empress, Mrs. Chen now lived in Cining Palace and had a high status in the Imperial Palace. Whether it was Mrs. Chen or Zhu Yijun, Mrs. Chen was very respectful.
No one in the Imperial Palace dared to disrespect Mrs. Chen. However, the position of Empress Dowager had been decided, so the atmosphere in the Imperial Palace was a little strange.
There was only one position for the Emperor and only one position for the Empress!
"Mother!" Seeing Mr. Lee's expression, Zhu Yijun knew that Zhang Juzheng didn't snitch on him.
Mr. Lee looked at his son and was very happy in his heart. Since he ascended the throne, his son had become a lot more sensible.
Just now, Master Zhang came over and praised his son to the skies.
Mr. Lee was respectful, polite, and studious. Mr. Lee was very happy to hear it.
There was no mother who didn't like her son to be excellent and to be praised.
"Mr. Zhang came just now. He told me that you study very hard. This is very good."
Mr. Lee pulled Zhu Yijun and said with some distress, "But don't tire yourself out. Eat here tonight. I asked someone to make ginseng chicken soup."
Zhu Yijun enjoyed his mother's care very much. However, when he heard the ginseng chicken soup, Zhu Yijun's mouth twitched. Wasn't she afraid that he would have a nosebleed?
"Okay!"
Although Zhu Yijun was very happy in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He said with a smile, "Thank you, Mother!"
Inside the Imperial Palace, while Zhu Yijun and his mother were eating, the movement to overthrow the Empress Dowager outside the Imperial Palace was still going on. Gao Gong was ready to launch the last wave of attack.
Gao Gong was full of confidence as he looked at the revised memorial in his hands.
Starting with the massive anti-Feng movement and ending with this memorial to the Rites Bureau, the entire plan could only be described with one word: perfect!
Early the next morning, Gao Gong's memorial was sent to the imperial palace. Naturally, Feng Bao was the first to know about it.
Within the Department of Rites, Feng Bao even received this memorial. After reading it for a while, Feng Bao's lips curved in a cold smile.
He threw the memorial on the table and gently tapped the table with his fingers. "Gao Gong, you're digging your own grave!"
Feng Bao was well aware that Gao Gong was preparing for a big move. He was also waiting for Gao Gong to make his move.
However, before reading this memorial, Feng Bao was really worried in his heart. But now, Feng Bao had confidence in his heart.
In Feng Bao's view, Gao Gong wanted too much, or he was arrogant to the point that he thought he could do whatever he wanted.
"Since you're digging your own grave, then I'll send you on your way!" Feng Bao sneered and shouted outside, "To the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful!"
In the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, Zhu Yijun was eating with his mother, Ms. Lee. The mother and son got along well, and the atmosphere of breakfast was very good. However, this atmosphere was soon interrupted because Feng Bao rushed in from outside.
After entering the main hall, Feng Bao directly threw himself on the ground and cried loudly. His appearance was very sad, as if his father had died.
Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao in surprise. This guy made such a big scene. Obviously, he was going to do something big!
In the previous life, Zhu Yijun hated tattletale. Looking at Feng Bao's appearance, it was obvious that he was going to tattletale, and he was going to dig a hole for others.
In terms of relationship and the current situation, Feng Bao naturally would not cheat Zhang Juzheng, so the only one he wanted to cheat was Gao Gong!
"Your Highness, Gao Gong has a disloyal heart!" Feng Bao kowtowed while suffering.
This sentence scared Ms. Lee. There was a saying that the master was young and the country was suspicious. Now her husband was dead, and her son was only ten years old. She could be regarded as an orphan and a widow.
Although Lee looked very strong, Ms. Lee was also very afraid in her heart!
Now that he heard Feng Bao say this, he naturally turned pale with fright and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"Your Highness, this is the memorial that Gao Gong just submitted. Gao Gong wants to monopolize power!"
As he spoke, Feng Bao presented the memorial, then knelt on the ground and cried, sobbing. He looked as wronged as he could be.
Zhu Yijun didn't need to look to know what was written in the memorial. The first half was definitely about impeaching Feng Bao, or it was a summary of Feng Bao's recent illegal activities, or even the revision of the late Emperor's posthumous edict.
His words were naturally frightening, as if he was afraid that his words wouldn't be frightening enough.
In the end, Gao Gong must have given a solution, as if to share the emperor's burden. Basically, it was to reduce the authority of the Board of Rites and take back the authority to approve gifts.
Perhaps from Gao Gong's point of view, this was killing two birds with one stone. First, he could topple Feng Bao, and second, he could reduce the authority of the Board of Rites and expand his own.
Without the authority of the Board of Rites, Feng Bao would have nothing to rely on. However, Gao Gong was wrong about one thing. How could the Emperor allow someone to reduce the authority of the Board of Rites?
Reducing the authority of the Board of Rites was the same as reducing the authority of the Emperor.
However, Gao Gong didn't care about Zhu Yijun's orphan and widowed mother. He felt that they couldn't raise any waves, nor did they dare to. After all, he was the minister in charge. Now was the time for him to stand up and support the country.
To put it bluntly, from the start, Gao Gong didn't care about Zhu Yijun and his mother. Gao Gong had once said, 'How can a man rule the world when he's ten years old?' These words were enough to clearly express his thoughts.
"Your Highness, Gao Gong has instructed those ministers to impeach the Old Slave. This isn't targeting the Old Slave, but Gao Gong wants to monopolize the affairs of the country!"
When Feng Bao saw that Lee Myung-bak had finished reading the memorials, he continued to lie on the ground and add oil to the fire, "Now that Gao Gong has already dared to act in this way and really removed the authority of the Board of Rites, Gao Gong has become even more arrogant.
Your Highness, please investigate clearly!
“
Seeing Feng Bao sobbing on the ground, Zhu Yijun let out a mental sigh. This was called 'if you don't seek death, you won't die!'
If Gao Gong was only targeting Feng Bao and impeaching him for corruption and dereliction of duty, perhaps it would be easier to handle. However, Gao Gong just had to extend his hand into the internal court.
