He shook his head and chased the 50 women out of his mind. The talent show had satisfied his curiosity, so he could put this matter aside for now.
This matter originally had little to do with him, even though he was marrying a wife.
Looking at Zhang Cheng who seemed to want to say something, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating!"
"Imperial Majesty, Old Slave wants to be in charge of this time's talent show." Zhang Cheng heard Zhu Yijun's words and quickly said.
Zhu Yijun was stunned. Why would Zhang Cheng want to be in charge of the talent show?
After thinking for a while, Zhu Yijun also understood.
Obviously, Zhang Cheng was not satisfied in the academy and wanted to jump out. Was it really that hard to bear?
Originally, Zhu Yijun wanted to let Zhang Cheng be in charge of training the military supervision eunuchs. But now, Zhu Yijun hesitated.
Compared to Zhang Cheng, Zhang Jing might not be as good as Zhang Cheng in many aspects. He was greedy, cunning, and also played tricks. But there was one thing that Zhang Jing could not compare to Zhang Cheng, and that was that he was obedient and knew how to do things.
Whatever Zhu Yijun gave to Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing would do his best to do it.
This was something that Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with. As long as you could do what I asked you to do, I could accept your small shortcomings, such as love of money.
But Zhang Cheng was not like that. He was not at ease and did not give up. He wanted to jump out of the things that Zhu Yijun had arranged, and not think about how to do it well.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Are you tired of staying in the academy?"
If he was in charge of the talent show, he naturally could not be in charge of the academy. The meaning of Zhu Yijun's words was very clear.
Zhang Cheng was stunned. Then, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. His heart sank. Was he too impatient?
Rolling his eyes, Zhang Cheng hurriedly said, "The Old Slave thinks that this is a big matter for the Imperial Majesty. The Old Slave wants to do his part."
"Old Slave, keep an eye on them so that the people below don't make any mistakes."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile, "Don't think about it. The Empress Dowager will arrange someone to do it. I can't make the decision.
However, I have something to tell you. People must be able to endure loneliness in order to maintain prosperity. "
"Alright, you can leave!" After saying that, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and did not look up at Zhang Cheng again.
Zhang Cheng's face was dark and gloomy. He knew that the Imperial Majesty was not happy with him. But Zhang Cheng was still not satisfied. Guarding those noble disciples all day, practicing martial arts, and learning how to arrange troops was not what he wanted.
How was he bad?
How was he not as good as Zhang Jing?
Although it was unfair in his heart, Zhang Cheng still suppressed this kind of imbalance.
Zhang Cheng knew that he could not do anything for the time being. If he really made the Imperial Majesty hate him, then it would really be a wasted effort.
Seeing that Zhang Cheng had left, Zhu Yijun sat on the chair and smiled bitterly. He had plans for Zhang Cheng, and he was more optimistic about it than Zhang Jing. After all, Zhang Cheng knew how to march and fight.
Letting Zhang Cheng stay in the academy was firstly to learn and consolidate, and secondly, it was a kind of protection.
Now it seemed that it was counterproductive. He hoped that he would be able to comprehend something from Zhang Cheng's words.
Zhu Yijun had now realized that many things could not be done as he wished. For example, the academy and Zhang Cheng.
Perhaps this was his original intention, but the result was completely different.
The current Zhu Yijun would think carefully before doing anything. He would never act rashly.
The news of the Emperor's concubine selection spread quickly. The Empress Dowager had already sent a decree to the Ministry of Rites, and this matter was officially put on the agenda.
There was only one focus of the court, and that was the Emperor's coronation ceremony.
In the Daming Dynasty, the coronation ceremony represented adulthood. It meant that one could get married, and it meant that one could start a family.
The meaning of the Emperor's coronation ceremony was different. The Emperor's coronation ceremony of adulthood meant only one thing. The Emperor could personally govern!
The meaning behind the Emperor's coronation ceremony was definitely very important to the Daming Dynasty.
If the Emperor wanted to personally govern, he couldn't get around the Assistant Minister, who was Queen Dowager Li.
Countless history proved that something would definitely happen at this time.
The former Emperor had three appointed ministers. The head of them was the Cabinet Secretary, Grand Secretary Gao Gong. In the end, the Emperor had just ascended the throne when he was chased back home. Now, he was staying in his hometown. It was said that he had fallen ill and his health was deteriorating.
The other appointed minister was Chamberlain Feng Bao, who had been dead for several years.
Out of the three appointed ministers, only Zhang Juzheng was left. The key was that as the Cabinet Secretary, Zhang Juzheng had offended a lot of people in the past two years. Once the Emperor's coronation ceremony was held, someone would definitely jump out and let the Emperor personally govern.
On one hand, it would attack Zhang Juzheng. On the other hand, it could also increase his reputation and accumulate capital.
Even if he was demoted by Zhang Juzheng in the end, it didn't matter. He had also contributed to the Emperor's personal governance. When the Emperor personally governed, it would naturally be a blessing in disguise.
This was like gambling on the Eastern Palace. Back then, Gao Gong was demoted for the former Emperor. In the end, he came back to become the Cabinet Secretary and had power over the court.
There were conspirators, people who wanted to fish in troubled waters, and people who had small calculations. It looked calm, but in fact, there was already a dark tide under the water.
Those who hated Zhang Juzheng also wanted to take the opportunity to bring down Zhang Juzheng.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Xu De in front of him and said expressionlessly, "Tell me about it!"
"Yes, Imperial Majesty!"
Xu De hurriedly said, "We've heard a lot of news here at the inner factory. Some are preparing to link up and submit memorials, wanting the Emperor to personally govern.
They're all speaking passionately, but there are also some secretly despicable ones. "
"Here is the list!" As he spoke, Xu De presented the memorials.
Zhu Yijun knew that taking over the government and overthrowing Zhang Juzheng didn't contradict each other. They seemed to be two different things, but they were mutually exclusive.
These people would definitely not target Zhang Juzheng. They would definitely encourage him to personally govern.
On the one hand, it was righteous. The Emperor was already an adult, so it was natural for him to personally govern. If Zhang Juzheng did not return to power, then he would be a traitor.
Zhang Juzheng would definitely not be able to escape the label of monopolizing state affairs. Moreover, if he did not return to power, wouldn't he offend the Emperor?
If he offended the little Emperor, what would happen to him?
Let's take it slowly. Sooner or later, he would be out of luck.
On the other hand, doing this would also please the little Emperor. No matter whether Zhang Juzheng returned to power or not, the little Emperor would remember those who spoke up for him. If Zhang Juzheng returned to power, he would make a contribution. If he did not return to power, then he would be facing a traitor, and his reputation would soar.
Third, he could put Zhang Juzheng in a dilemma. The passing of the law on returning to power was likely to be wasted. Countless people would celebrate. The one who forced Zhang Juzheng to return to power would definitely become a hero, and his reputation would soar.
If Zhang Juzheng did not return to power, his reputation would also soar. No matter from which angle, doing this would bring many benefits.
