The Queen Mother is here again?

Zhu Yijun's face tightened, and he immediately ordered the eunuchs around him to receive all those folds in the back, leaving only the book of Confucius and Mencius on the table, he straightened his clothes, and took a piece of ice to calm down his hot body, relieved, and greeted his mother in the best state - no way, the brain was hot to give the jade seal to her old man, and now if she doesn't pretend that her grandson wants the jade seal back, she really can't feel the majesty of the emperor.

He can't do without the majesty of the emperor, without the power of the emperor, even if it is the imperial power that has been castrated, he must at least master some of it.

Empress Dowager Li's carriage fell at the gate of the emperor's bedroom, and Empress Dowager Li walked out with the support of the maid, and saw that Zhu Yijun was already standing respectfully under the sun waiting for her.

It's strange to say, this sun is not small, but there is no warmth on the body, Zhu Yijun can even feel a trace of coolness - this is something that only happened after mid-October in previous years, and now, there are still two days before October.

"The son greets the queen mother."

After all these years, the Empress Dowager Li still doesn't understand that the emperor has recovered his spirit, but his brain is hot and he handed over the jade seal to himself, and now he can't pull his face and can't find a reason to get back his jade seal and power, so he is so anxious, but now it's not the Song Dynasty, nor the Han Dynasty, women don't have so much power, and the Ming Dynasty has been flourishing for more than 200 years, and women have no social foundation for power.

The Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty was born in a small family, there was no reinforcement outside and no alliance inside, the only Empress Dowager Li who came to the front of the stage after the death of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, also completely lost the status of influencing the government, the civilian-official alliance has been strong and cannot be suppressed, even if the Empress Dowager Li has a certain prestige, there is no means of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, she has no way at all, the ministers have a good reason, they only recognize the emperor, you let them choose one between the emperor and the queen mother, 100% will choose the emperor, as for the queen mother - who cares about you?

It's not that she doesn't want to help the emperor, but the emperor himself ruined his hope of turning the tables, and personally abolished Zhang Juzheng's hard work, abolished Feng Bao's inner court forces, and abolished Jinyiwei, Jiajing's grandfather's three major forces to balance civil officials were almost abolished by him, just for a saint dream, when the saint dream woke up, he suddenly realized what a stupid thing he had done, and at this moment, Empress Dowager Li's admonition was meaningless.

Thinking of the admonition of Empress Dowager Li to him before the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng and the abolition of the New Deal, Zhu Yijun regretted not being at the beginning, but he could not do anything but sigh.

The mother and son looked at each other speechlessly, staring at each other against the big sun for a long time, Empress Dowager Li retracted her gaze, sighed slightly, and said: "Such a big sun, the emperor should not stand under the big sun, go in with the mourning family, don't damage your body." ”

With that, Empress Dowager Li entered the emperor's palace, and Zhu Yijun followed into the palace.

It's not hot at all, what kind of scene to say?

Zhu Yijun secretly slandered himself.

Although the minister restricts the emperor's spending, but the emperor himself has money, Zhu Yijun is still quite rich during this time, Xiao Ruxun sent so much silver from Japan for him, and so much mine income, he is not short of money in hand, the incense in the palace knows that it is high-end goods as soon as he smells it, as soon as he enters, he can make people refreshed and comfortable, and the Empress Dowager Li is in a better mood, and she sits on the elegant seat with the support of the maid, and her own palace maid serves her tea.

Zhu Yijun stood beside the Empress Dowager Li and did not sit.

Empress Dowager Li glanced at Zhu Yijun with her eyes, and after a while, she drank tea before she slowly spoke: "What is the emperor standing for?" Sit down! ”

Zhu Yijun sat down at this time, and said with a smiling face: "The queen mother came today, why did she come here?" ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled slightly and said, "It's not for the emperor's business?" The mourning family heard that the emperor had not left the palace for almost two months and had not summoned the ministers, and even the concubine had not been summoned, so the mourning family was worried! The emperor is the king of a country, how can he stay in the palace and not say a word, and not summon the ministers and concubines? In this way, the ministers are uneasy, and I am afraid that it will not be a blessing for the country. ”

"What the queen mother taught is that the sons know that they are wrong, and these days the sons have been reflecting on themselves, concentrating on reading, reading the books of Confucius and Mencius, in order to find the way to be the king."

Having said that, Zhu Yijun was full of slander in his heart - those bastards wished that I didn't care about anything, put the jade seal in the cabinet, and let them take charge of all state affairs, I just need to be a mascot, I am afraid that I am just fulfilling their wish now, if I can still do what they say, I will do anything, then the name of the Eternal Sage Monarch will definitely not escape.

This group of shameless bastards, who have the pen in their hands and the writing of history books, don't know what I look like now, what they will write about when I die? I'm afraid I can't escape the name of a mediocre and incompetent king! In their eyes, their father and Hongzhi Ye are the models of the Holy Monarch, because these two masters have soft ears and listen to them for everything.

And the emperor who really has made a difference will be slandered by them as a faint monarch, and the emperor who uses eunuchs to protect the emperor's power will be reprimanded as a lawless monarch who trusts eunuchs, and the emperor who is a great emperor to ensure that he will not be blinded by the ministers will be said to be a tyrannical king, unkind and unjust, anyway, in their eyes, they are only allowed to do nonsense, and the emperor is not allowed to set things right, everything in the world is up to them, and the emperor is just to stay in the palace honestly as a marionette, that is, the holy monarch who everyone shouts long live.

Emperor Chenghua Emperor Zhengde Emperor Jiajing Emperor was mostly demonized by history books, and Emperor Hongzhi Emperor Longqing Emperor was mostly beautified by history books, but if you look closely at some interesting details in history books, you will know that Emperor Ming, who was demonized as a mediocre monarch after Yingzong, is basically an emperor who has a mind and is not blinded by the ministers, and can basically use eunuchs and brocade guards to fight against civil officials, while the prince of sainthood and benevolence is an auspicious emperor who has soft ears and does nothing.

After the Tumubao Incident, the Ming Wenchen's low moral level and the absurdity of double standards all hit the highest peak in history.

And Zhu Yijun, who knew all this, was powerless, seeing the power falling, there was no way at all, and finally made up his mind to have a showdown with the ministers, but he was tricked by his mother, and the great opportunity was ruined......

Just calm down and think about it carefully, Zhu Yijun also knows that he is too impulsive, if he follows the previous approach, I am afraid that no matter how loyal Xiao Ruxun is to be able to fight well, he will not be able to escape a wrong end, how can he alone confront the entire civil gentry alliance? These people don't even care about the emperor, let alone Xiao Ruxun, a military general, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will be forced to "punish Chao wrong", and where is Zhou Yafu, who belongs to him?

Thinking about it now, Zhu Yijun feels that his situation is very similar to that of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty at the beginning, they are all government decrees that do not leave the capital, the local heroes are full of strong and powerful people, the central army is weak, and the local forces are strong, but he is not harmed by the vassal king, but there is a joint confrontation between the central civil officials and the local gentry, and he lacks an alliance, and he can't even make up a Zhou Yafu and a fine willow camp, so how can he "cut the domain"?

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty faced a much easier situation than himself, at least at that time, the Han Dynasty had only been established for decades, and he was facing two hundred years of maladministration, how easy was it to say? It's easy to kill the minister, but it's hard to clean up the mess, who will handle the government affairs? Who will issue the decree? Taizu Taizong is such a powerful emperor, doesn't he still have to set up a cabinet to help deal with government affairs? One person can't govern the world, he must share power and go out, and he doesn't have an alliance, how can he coup d'état?

It's frivolous, sloppy, simple, fortunately it was stopped, otherwise, not only will it not be able to keep Xiao Ruxun, the most promising handsome talent who will become Zhou Yafu, but even his own throne may not be able to be kept, but now at least Xiao Ruxun is still there, and his emperor position is also in his hands, he is only thirty years old, and he is in the prime of life, it is the most energetic time, there is still a chance, there is really a chance.

Empress Dowager Li looked at the emperor's well-behaved appearance, and she didn't know what the emperor was thinking or saying, but at this moment, she really couldn't allow the emperor to joke with the Zhu family with her life, more directly, she still wanted to spend her old age in peace, live a comfortable life for a few years, and didn't want to face the disaster of soldiers when she was old.

So she took matters into her own hands to stop everything.

But it seems that the emperor has no intention of giving up, but is more cautious, this is not a bad thing, after all, the world is still the Zhu family, let the people below do evil, she is also very dissatisfied, but the animal trainer Zhang Juzheng is dead, and Feng Bao, who secretly made the black hand, is also dead, she is powerless, she can't do anything, if her son can do it, she will naturally support it, but all this must be ensured within the scope of political struggle, and military affairs cannot be involved.

Therefore, she made the decision to keep Xiao Ruxun in Myanmar and not let her come back.

It's just that Empress Dowager Li still thinks highly of her son, Zhang Juzheng can succeed, and there are a group of helpers and generals like Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang who hold military power, and they support it strongly, and what does Zhu Yijun have? What else is there besides the throne of the emperor? Political reform needs helpers, it needs supporters, and more directly - it needs guns! When the other party is not convinced, him!

Zhu Yijun has nothing, how can he coup d'état?

"It's good for the emperor to know that he is wrong, the way of being a king is in your heart, in your books, in your daily actions, as long as you can see through and understand yourself, then, you can naturally understand the way of being a king, let everything in the past pass, mourn the old family, can't stand the toss, the most hope is to spend the rest of your life smoothly, the first half of your life was too hard, too nervous, now, just want to live a stable life."

Empress Dowager Li put forward her minimum needs, and the subtext is - if you let me live a stable life, I won't toss you, how do you want to do it, if you are really sure, you will do it, but if you are not sure that you still have to do things, that is, you will not let me live a stable life, although I am old, it is no problem to clean up your little red guy!

Remember! Never fight against your mother! Your mother, I've eaten more salt than you've walked!

Zhu Yijun is not stupid, of course he can hear what his wife means, he knows what he should do.

"The sons and daughters must follow the teachings of the queen mother, and in the future, they must be cautious and cautious, and think twice before acting."

After making such a political promise, Empress Dowager Li breathed a sigh of relief and changed to a softer tone.

"The mourning family is tired, I have helped the emperor deal with some things these days, and now they are all handed over to the cabinet to take care of, Wang Xijue will return to his hometown after completing the last few things, the emperor pays attention, Wang Xijue can still keep his mouth, but he must also take precautions."

Zhu Yijun's heart sank, and he nodded yes.

"Erchen understands!"

Empress Dowager Li nodded, waved her hand, and the eunuch next to her walked over with a plate, and the eunuch brought the plate to Zhu Yijun and presented it to Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun looked at the familiar jade seal, hesitated, and stretched out his hand to take the plate.

"After that, the matter will be handed over to the emperor himself to deal with, the mourning family doesn't want to take care of anything, doesn't want to participate in anything, the emperor can do it himself, the mourning family doesn't talk much, the mourning family goes back to live their comfortable life, if the emperor is free, come to see the mourning family, if he is not free, he will focus on state affairs, the ancestors are much more important than a lonely old woman, understand?"

Zhu Yijun knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Empress Dowager Li.

"Erchen understands!"

Empress Dowager Li felt that the heat was almost over, and there was no point in continuing to talk about it, so she stood up and said, "Then the mourning family will not disturb the emperor to read the sage book, and the mourning family will go back." ”

After walking a few steps, Zhu Yijun also followed, wanting to send his mother out, but Empress Dowager Li didn't stop her, but when she was halfway there, she asked Zhu Yijun not to follow.

"Don't follow, just get here, you still have a lot of things to deal with."

Zhu Yijun nodded and didn't follow.

After walking a few more steps, Empress Dowager Li stopped and looked back at Zhu Yijun.

"That's right, the emperor, your favorite general Xiao Ruxun won a big victory in Burma, and has already destroyed the Dongwu country, and now the cabinet has decided to re-establish the town of Myanmar there, which is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Yunnan, and enshrined Xiao Ruxun as the hereditary repudiation of the town of Nanhou, the chief military officer of the town of Burma, the town of Shizhen Burma, and the military affairs of southern Xinjiang, you can rest assured, in the future, the southern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty will be stable, and you will let go of the affairs of northern Xinjiang!"

After the Empress Dowager Li finished speaking, she quickly left Zhu Yijun's dormitory, and when Zhu Yijun came back to her senses, the Empress Dowager Li had already walked a long way.

In the courtyard, the sun was shining on Zhu Yijun's body, but Zhu Yijun couldn't feel any trace of temperature.

Xiao Ruxun won a big battle, destroyed the Dongwu Kingdom, and stabilized the southern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, which is a good thing, of course this is a good thing, but ...... What does it mean to let Xiao Ruxun Shizhen Burma? Don't let him come back? Will he not be allowed to return to me?

Mother, Wang Xijue......

Zhu Yijun took a deep breath, and a cold light shone in his eyes.
