The little emperor was eating nectarines on one side, and on the other hand, he was lying on the dragon chair without the dignity of a king.

Since Zhang Juzheng became a scholar, Empress Dowager Li has also lived in the Buddhist hall, and now she is teasing her grandson and does not interfere in political affairs.

Therefore, after the little emperor was unrestrained, he also indulged himself more and more.

Modern education proves that a person is more oppressed when he is a teenager, but when he grows up, he is oppressed and contacted, then it is like a tight spring, which rebounds more violently, and he will act more unscrupulously than when he was a teenager.

If the Son of Heaven stepped on the royal case today, he couldn't imagine it in the past.

was scolded by Zhang Juzheng when he saw it, but now Zhang Whale, Zhang Cheng and others in the hall dare to persuade them, only when Feng Bao and Zhang Hong come, the little emperor will give them some face.

"Wang Qing's family, this peach is quite fresh, you can taste it." The little emperor pointed.

Wang Jiaping arched his hand and said: "Where the ministers are duty, they dare not exceed the rules." ”

"Lin Qing's family!"

Lin Yanchao also arched his hand and said: "Thank you for Your Majesty's favor, the ministers don't dare to overstep the rules." ”

"You guys are really...... Forget it, I'll watch the concerto! The little emperor let out a long yawn.

The birth of the emperor is a great joy.

Lin Yanchao didn't say anything about his wife and son, and the rest of the clan's relatives and courtiers also looked at the emperor with blank eyes, and they all allocated some rewards.

Now that Lin Yanchao has returned to the forbidden middle school, the little emperor is facing these major events.

The little emperor took the piece and looked at it a few times, then impatiently threw it on Zhang Whale's face and said, "I have to read it, you read it to me." ”

Zhang Whale took the nectarine juice and said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet intends to ask Wang Daoheng to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”

The little emperor asked, "Who is Wang Daoheng?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”

Zhang Whale said: "The small strip said that Wang Daoheng is the brother of Concubine Naigong. ”

The little emperor frowned and said, "How can this be done?" How can the official position of the court be rewarded at will, Wang Qingjia, what do you think? "From the words of the little emperor, it can be seen that the little emperor is really not very good to Concubine Gong.

Wang Jiaping said: "Your Majesty is in command, that is, he enjoys the benefits, but there are no idle officials who are in charge, and the cabinet's plan is just a routine, not too much." ”

The little emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, I've agreed, take it for your companion." ”

Zhang Whale Yu walked outside the hall with the concerto, handed it to the eunuch outside the hall, and then returned to the palace.

Zhang Whale read again: "The cabinet intends to request that two words be added to the emblems of the two palaces. ”

The little emperor said dissatisfiedly: "Two words are too few, the birth of the eldest son of the emperor depends on the two queen mothers a lot, how can you only add two words, if you want to add four words, so that the cabinet can be redrafted." ”

After Zhang Jing's instructions, he handed it over to Wang Jiaping and sent it to the door and sent it directly to the cabinet.

Zhang Jing read again: "The cabinet intends to invite the imperial prince Wu Qingbo Li Weijin to be the Marquis of Wuqing." ”

The little emperor said without hesitation: "I have agreed, please take a look." ”

"The cabinet intends to invite Feng Baodi's nephew to be the governor of the capital, the eunuch Zhang Hong, the stewards of Ciqing Palace, Cining Palace, and Qianqing Palace, and the Yin family, or the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the thousands of Jinyi Guards and other official positions."

The little emperor nodded and said, "I agreed, give it to the eldest companion." ”

After a while, the chapter checked the Zhu pen and handed it back, the first two letters were done in accordance with the little emperor's wishes, but the last one did not fall into the Zhu pen.

The little emperor looked at it and asked, "Why is the third letter not red?" ”

Zhang Dashou, who sent the recital, said: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Feng said that this recital is unreasonable, so he did not allow it. ”

"Why doesn't it make sense?"

"This villain doesn't know."

The little emperor saw Zhang Whale's frequent eyes, and immediately said: "The eldest companion has been waiting for me for more than ten years, and his hard work is high, if he does not allow his resignation, then the other internal supervisors in the palace will not dare to receive the reward, you let the eldest companion discuss it with the cabinet." ”

"Yes." Zhang Da was ordered to retreat.

The little emperor looked at Zhang Whale and asked, "If you have anything to say, right?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "It's Your Majesty, I heard that Feng Jue instructed the cabinet Mr. Zhang to be knighted." However, Mr. Zhang rejected Feng Jue on the grounds that there was no such precedent in this dynasty. ”

"Why does the big companion want to be knighted?" The little emperor said angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry." Zhang Whale's face was filled with joy.

The little emperor said to Wang Jiaping and Lin Yanchao: "How did this dynasty discuss the lord?" Tell me about it. ”

Wang Jiaping went out of the class and said: "Back to Your Majesty, my title of Ming Dynasty, only the duke, the marquis, the third class, no son, the second baron, if the surname is different, at least it is also an earl, the ancestral system 'all the lords are not the military merits of the society', and later added the descendants of the Holy Prince, the governor of the horse, and relatives can also be knighted. ”

"Is there any such thing as an internal official knighthood in this dynasty?"

Wang Jiaping said: "This seems to have never happened. ”

The little emperor looked at Lin Yanchao again and asked, "Is there really not?" Lin Qing's family, you are familiar with allusions, you can talk about it. ”

Lin Yanchao knew that it was a taboo for eunuchs to be knighted, in the past, Gao Lishi and Tong Guan had been knighted, but there was no such example in this dynasty.

Lin Yanchao didn't want to offend Feng Bao, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he replied with a sense of proportion: "Your Majesty, there has really never been." In the past, Liu Ma'er was knighted with military merits, but the cabinet did not allow it, and the court later awarded his nephew Liu Ju as Ning Jinbo. ”

Liu Ma'er is Liu Yongcheng, a eunuch with the same name as Zheng He, who followed Ming Chengzu to the north to conquer Mongolia three times, and served as an official soldier.

It stands to reason that Liu Yongcheng is qualified enough for the knighthood of military merits, but the civilian class still disagrees, saying that the knighthood of internal officials cannot set this precedent.

In the end, the imperial court compromised and made Liu Yongcheng's nephew Liu Ju as Ning Jinbo, and Liu Yongcheng himself did not get the knighthood. Even so, the civilian class was still dissatisfied and picked on Liu Ju's thorns all day long.

Lin Yanchao cited this example to imply that Feng Bao's merits are not comparable to Liu Yongcheng, and he cannot be knighted. But taking a step back, if you Feng Bao is not knighted, you can also learn from Liu Yongcheng and Liu Ju, and let your son and nephew be knighted.

Lin Yanchao's answer not only told the facts, but also gave the Son of Heaven a reference.

Therefore, the little emperor was very satisfied.

At this time, Zhang Cheng said: "Your Majesty, the ministers heard that Feng Jue had said in private that this time the emperor was born, and Wu Qingbo could be promoted to the marquis, why can't he be knighted?" He has been His Majesty's companion for more than ten years, and his credit is not as good as Wu Qingbo? ”

The little emperor listened to the case and said angrily: "Uncle Wu Qing is my grandfather!" ”

Lin Yanchao also felt that Feng Bao's move was really unwise in the palace.

He defeated Zhang Siwei this time, and Liang Menglong was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, so he proudly asked for a knighthood, and he became the first eunuch to be knighted in the Ming Dynasty, leaving a name in history.

But Feng Bao didn't expect that the first assistant Zhang Siwei would refuse.

Not to mention whether Zhang Siwei and Feng Bao are of the same mind, as long as he dares to agree to Feng Bao's knighthood, the imperial history impeached Zhang Siwei's chapter, and the emperor's case will be piled up the next day.

No matter how you say that the internal officials are knighted, there is no such precedent in this dynasty. Therefore, Zhang Siwei's rejection of Feng Bao's opinion this time is also a legitimate reason.

Liu Jin, when Wang Zhi was there, he didn't have this idea, and Zhang Yong, who brought down Liu Jin, mentioned it, but was sprayed back by the civil officials.

Even if he Zhang Siwei had this intention, he didn't dare to set this precedent for Feng Bao.
