That night, the West Hall was in action.
All kinds of rebellious cases related to Feng Bao were dug up.
Wherever the blade went, one's life was hanging by a thread.
However, Feng Bao was still kept in the dark. After he left Zhang Ju Zheng's residence to drink, he returned to the residence of his third concubine to rest. Although Feng Bao was a eunuch, he had taken in six concubines and adopted many adopted sons.
At dawn, Feng Bao entered the palace and went to the palmprint supervisor. There were eunuchs in the palmprint supervisor that he had arranged for.
The matters in the imperial court and Yangxin Palace Hall.
The emperor was young, so he arranged for eunuchs to take care of his daily life. He knew the emperor's movements like the back of his hand.
After entering the Palm Print Prison, Feng Bao drank a cup of ginseng tea. A eunuch handed him a secret scroll.
" Godfather, His Majesty summoned Cao Zhengchun in the Palace of Heavenly Purity after leaving the royal study yesterday. The two of them disguised themselves and went out to play…"
Feng Bao frowned when he heard this.
"His Majesty actually left the palace?"
Although the empress dowager had warned him yesterday, he still had to report to the empress dowager about the emperor leaving the palace without permission.
Thinking of this, Feng Bao got up and left the Palm Print Prison. He went to Cining Palace to report to Zhu Yijun's mother, Empress Dowager Li.
In Cining Palace.
When Empress Dowager Li heard Feng Bao's report, she suddenly stood up and raised her eyebrows.""What is it? The Emperor had actually left the palace? How bold! Feng Bao!"
"Your subject is here!"
"Go and invite Lord Zhang over. This widow wants to lecture the emperor!”
After Empress Dowager Li said this, Feng Bao bowed and said,""Your humble subject requests an edict!"
Feng Bao received the Empress Dowager's decree and went straight out of the palace.
Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant of the cabinet, was the Crown Prince's Taibao and was the Emperor's teacher. Usually, if Zhu Yijun made any mistakes, it would be a three-way joint trial.
The Empress Dowager, Zhang Juzheng, and Feng Bao, who was watching the show from the side, didn't mind the matter getting out of hand.
This time, Zhu Yijun had left the palace without permission. Empress Dowager Li thought that he had violated the palace rules and made a huge mistake. She immediately asked Feng Bao to find Zhang Juzheng to enter the palace and admonish the Emperor as usual.
In the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Li was trembling with anger. She had actually left the palace without permission. This Cao Zhengchun had been bewitching the emperor all day long. Was this making the emperor a fatuous ruler?
……
In Yangxin Palace Hall, after Zhu Yijun finished washing up, he had breakfast and began to read the secret documents submitted by the East and West Chambers.
As for the memorials submitted by the cabinet, Zhu Yijun threw them aside after reading a few books.
The memorials that the cabinet had reviewed had all gone through the hands of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. These memorials were the contents that they wanted the Emperor to see. There were no memorials that were truly related to national affairs.
Zhu Yijun was flipping through the secret documents submitted by the West Hall when the Chief Eunuch of Cining Palace entered Yangxin Hall.
The eunuch stood in front of Zhu Yijun and announced,""Your Majesty, please accept the Empress Dowager's decree. Your Majesty is to immediately head to Ci Ning Palace!”
Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon throne and looked up at the eunuch in charge of Cining Palace. The eunuch urged,""Your Majesty, accept the decree."
"You want me to accept the edict?"
"Whose decree?"
"Your Majesty, it's the Empress Dowager's decree!"
As soon as the Chief Eunuch of Cining Palace finished speaking, Zhu Yijun asked coldly,""Which Empress Dowager?"
This Chief Eunuch was Empress Dowager Li's confidant. Every time he came to Yangxin Palace Hall to announce the imperial edict, he would come personally. Why was the Emperor acting so abnormally today?
Usually, when the emperor heard the announcement from Ci Ning Palace, he would be so scared that he would tremble and immediately head to Ci Ning Palace!
"Your Majesty, it's Empress Dowager Li of Ci Ning Palace! Your Majesty, hurry to the Cining Palace!"
"A mere eunuch dares to show off in front of me and act so arrogantly!”
"Humph! Empress Dowager Li of Cining Palace? With the Empress Dowager backing you up, do you think I won't dare to kill you? With the Empress Dowager backing you, you dare to show off in front of me?”
"Someone come!"
"Here!"
The imperial guards entered Yangxin Hall. Zhu Yijun continued to read the secret records of the West Hall and did not look at this person again.
"Push this person out and cut off his ears and nose! Send him to Cining Palace! Let Empress Dowager Li of the Cining Palace see his appearance! There was more! Tell Empress Dowager Li to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity!”
Zhu Yijun's killing intent surged, and the Son of Heaven's Sword, the Moon Slaying Sword, was placed beside him!
Sometimes, if I don't kill people!
You don't treat me as the emperor!
You don't know what imperial power is above everything else!
An empress dowager wanted to be above the imperial power?
Zhu Yijun knew that Empress Dowager Li was his biological mother!
However, even if she was the birth mother and the Empress Dowager, she could not blaspheme the imperial power!
"Here!"
The imperial guard received the order and kicked the Chief Eunuch of Cining Palace to the ground…
Boom!
The chief eunuch of Cining Palace was scared out of his wits!
Thud!
The chief eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed with all his might!
"Spare me, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
However, it was too late.
From the moment he entered Yangxin Palace Hall and announced the decree with his head held high, he was destined to die!
Since when could the Empress Dowager's decree surpass the imperial power?
Not only did Feng Bao put the cart before the horse.
This Chief Eunuch of Cining Palace had also assumed the wrong identity!
These imperial guards did not pay attention to the eunuch's pleas for mercy. They were the guards of the Ming Emperor. They would kill whoever the Emperor asked them to kill. Forget about the Chief Eunuch of Ci Ning Palace, even if they were asked to break into Ci Ning Palace and kill the Empress Dowager, they would not even blink!
The emperor's order was the heavenly order!
After the Chief Eunuch of Ci Ning Palace was pushed out of Yangxin Hall, his ears and nose were cut off by the imperial guards and sent to Ci Ning Palace!
……
After Feng Bao received the Empress Dowager's decree, he left the palace and headed to Zhang Ju Zheng's residence.
When they arrived at Zhang Juzheng's residence, Feng Bao missed.
The servants said that Zhang Juzheng went to the cabinet to handle government affairs, and Feng Bao went to the cabinet.
When the officials in the cabinet saw that Feng Bao was looking for Zhang Juzheng, they said,"Eunuch Feng, Lord Zhang read all the memorials yesterday and has just fallen asleep. Don't disturb Lord Zhang…"
"I was drinking with Bai Gui yesterday…"
" Yesterday, Lord Zhang was about to sleep after drinking with Eunuch Feng when the memorial from Jiangnan was sent to the cabinet. Lord Zhang spent the entire night dealing with state affairs and just finished…"
Just as the cabinet officials were talking to Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng walked out of the cabinet, his eyes bloodshot. Last night, Jiangnan sent an urgent message from 800 miles away. A flood broke out in Hangzhou, and it was imminent. Zhang Juzheng immediately arranged for people to go to Jiangnan to relieve the disaster…
Feng Bao pulled Zhang Juzheng to the side." Bai Gui, His Majesty left the palace without permission yesterday. The Empress Dowager was furious and asked me to go out of the palace to look for Lord Zhang. We will admonish the Emperor together…"
Zhang Ju Zheng frowned." Eunuch Feng, please mind your words. You are not admonishing the Son of Heaven, but assisting him. If you say such things again, don't blame me for cutting off our ties!"”
Zhang Juzheng respected the emperor. If the emperor made a mistake and punished him, Zhang Juzheng would also punish him. In front of the emperor, Zhang Juzheng would hit his ruler. If the emperor was playful, Zhang Juzheng would hit him twenty times. If the emperor did not read the national policy, Zhang Juzheng would also hit his own hand.
Zhang Juzheng had always upheld the principle that it was the father's fault for not teaching strictly, and the son's laziness for not learning from the teacher!
Feng Bao said," Bai Gui is right. Quickly enter the palace. The Empress Dowager is still waiting for Brother Bai Gui!"”
……
Cining Palace.
Just as Empress Dowager Li was considering how the Emperor would reprimand him after he arrived at Cining Palace, hurried footsteps sounded outside.
Before Empress Dowager Li could react.
The imperial guards had already entered Cining Palace.
