Chapter Six, Ascending the Throne as Emperor
Zhu Yijun even thought that fortunately he had no sons, otherwise he would be doomed. However, if Empress Chen had a son, it is likely that events such as the struggle for succession would not unfold, after all, a mother cannot outmaneuver her.
Not only do we need to buy tickets, but it is also crowded with people, and many places are still off-limits. This is indeed our own territory now
What is the deletion and alteration of memorial photos, what is the eunuch's disaster to the country, in short, it is to scold Feng Bao to the point of absurdity
In recent days, Feng Bao has been very excited. After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he became the Chief Eunuch of the Board of Rites, overseeing the Eastern Depot. He considers himself to be in a position of great power and influence. The supervisors of the Eastern Depot are mostly eunuchs who hold significant authority, and there is also a Chief Eunuch above them. Now, with his identity as the Chief Eunuch overseeing the Eastern Depot, who would dare to look down on him?
Looking back at Feng Bao, Zhu Yijun revealed a smile on his face, but Feng Bao would likely soon find it difficult to smile.
You also know that the noble consort's health is weak, and without a royal physician by her side, I feel uncertain. " At this point, she glanced at Feng Bao: "Moreover, your health is not good either. When Physician Li arrives, let him examine you properly.
Zhu Yijun is naturally aware of these matters. Although he cannot see the memorials, both the Li and Chen families can. The two of them will certainly discuss these issues, so how could Zhu Yijun possibly be unaware of them
The only thing that Zhu Yijun is unhappy about is that he cannot open a teleportation portal. If he had a teleportation portal, he could casually take some items from the imperial palace to sell, and he would become immensely wealthy. If he could also obtain some weapons from the future, he would dominate this world.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile, "Alright, get up! Don't kneel down at every turn. You're not young anymore, with old arms and legs, so don't kneel until it becomes a problem!"
In the imperial harem, Zhu Yijun stood on the steps, with Feng Bao still standing behind him. This fellow had now become the Chief Eunuch of the Palace and the Superintendent of the Eastern Depot, exuding a strong presence. To put it in a later phrase, he walked with an air of authority.
I currently live in the Forbidden City, do you understand the Forbidden City? However, after walking around, I do feel quite tired
Feng Bao stood behind Zhu Yijun, his smile never fading, as the crown prince was about to ascend the throne, heralding the arrival of his good days
Opposite Gao Gong, Gao Yi sat there somewhat uneasily. At a time when the new emperor had just ascended the throne and even the first grand court meeting had yet to be held, Gao Yi felt that it was inappropriate to engage in such significant matters. However, seeing Gao Gong's excited demeanor, Gao Yi could only sigh helplessly, knowing that no matter what he said, Gao Gong would likely not be able to hear him at this moment.
The outer court still showed no intention of ceasing fire, and the intensity of the attacks only grew fiercer. The charges against Feng Bao were numerous, as if his death was the only way to quell the public outrage; without his execution, the Ming dynasty would face imminent collapse. The situation, which had just stabilized following the new emperor's ascension, was once again thrown into turmoil
Carefully attending to the Crown Prince is essential, as this is a critical moment for oneself; any oversight could lead to dire consequences
After resigning from the imperial physician position, I traveled across the country to study Shennong. Now, I estimate I am not young anymore and should prepare to compile the "Compendium of Materia Medica"
Feng Bao can be said to experience three shocks in a single day; Gao Gong is truly intent on eliminating him
The body is of utmost importance; having a good body is essential for better serving this palace in the future, is it not
However, Your Highness, please rest assured that this old servant will certainly bring back Physician Li
After a series of events such as the sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, Zhu Yijun ascended the throne as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty on the first day of the sixth month, adopting the era name Wanli
Rather than discussing other matters, if we produce a batch of Hanyang-made old-style guns, we could easily sweep across the world ourselves
"Feng Bao, how are the matters I entrusted to you progressing?" Sitting in the latest custom-made rocking chair, Zhu Yijun reclined slightly, with a palace maid on each side, massaging his thighs.
Outside, it is bustling with noise, but Zhu Yijun has been quite leisurely these past few days, wandering around the palace all day long. This is the Forbidden City, the Imperial Palace! Although I visited the Forbidden City in my previous life, it was merely for sightseeing
After Zhang Fu submitted his memorial, more people began to submit petitions to impeach Feng Bao, and the momentum was so fierce that it seemed as if they were about to strike Feng Bao down directly
It is likely that Gao Gong will soon take action against Feng Bao, and Feng Bao will retaliate; however, these matters have little to do with Zhu Yijun. At present, Zhu Yijun is merely a ten-year-old child, and these issues are not for him to concern himself with
Zhu Yijun was well aware that Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" was published three years after his death. He believed that if he could publish it while Li was still alive, he would not be able to keep him from doing so
Although it is unclear why the Crown Prince is seeking Dr. Li, Feng Bao did not dare to be negligent, as this is a minor matter, merely finding a court physician. Upon hearing the Crown Prince's inquiry, Feng Bao quickly replied: "Your Highness, Dr. Li often travels the world, so it may be somewhat troublesome to locate him"
Then find it as soon as possible! Zhu Yijun nodded, reached out to pick up the tea beside him, and took a small sip.
In recent days, Zhu Yijun has had profound feelings; the woman who is now overlooked is undoubtedly a person of great skill.
Of course, this is not the end. The day after Cao Guoan submitted his memorial, several other censors followed suit, all of them accusing Feng Bao. Another day later, Zhang Fu, an official from the Ministry of Personnel, submitted a memorial to impeach Feng Bao for "four reversals and six crimes"
Feng Baoyi immediately knelt down upon hearing this and said: "This old servant thanks His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The imperial palace was tranquil, yet outside, a storm was brewing. On the second day after Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, the Censor Cao Guoan of the Grand Council submitted a memorial to impeach Feng Bao. The memorial listed four major charges of treason against Feng Bao.
The Gao Gong residence, the laughter of Gao Gong emanated from the study, his flushed face was filled with excitement
One needs a doctor, a top-notch doctor, and also a healthy body
After the memorial was submitted, it can be said that it stirred up a thousand waves, causing an immediate upheaval in the entire officialdom of the capital
Standing up, Zhu Yijun gazed into the depths of the imperial harem, where two women resided: one was his mother, Lady Li, and the other was Empress Chen. Compared to his mother, the noble consort who came from a family of mud and tile workers, the Empress Dowager Chen was far more formidable.
But now it is different, this Forbidden City, this Palace Museum, this is like one's own home, or rather, it is one's own! What is a mansion? In the future, within the capital, what is the Third Ring Road, what are villas, what are siheyuan, compared to this, they are all utterly inferior.
Zhu Yijun nodded. Li Yuyi is none other than Li Shizhen, a prominent figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, ranking among the top in the entire history of traditional Chinese medicine. During the Jiajing period, he served as a royal physician, but he disapproved of Jiajing's alchemical practices and medication.
We are going to mother’s place, and we will have dinner there tonight!" After Zhu Yijun finished speaking, he took the lead and walked ahead.
However, this also gave Zhu Yijun an idea; being the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly a high-risk profession. Too many have died just a few years after ascending the throne, with the shortest reign lasting only one month before death, which is extremely perilous
