"Something important?"

Although in the midst of grief, Empress Dowager Li still reacted quickly, she knew her own mother, but the old woman who enjoyed the wealth and dignity, I am afraid that the word "important things" was told to her by others. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Heavenly family affection, to put it bluntly, Empress Dowager Li quickly put away her grief, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said:

"Mother, what is the matter, didn't you say? Tell my dad about this kind of thing, don't mess with it, those civil officials are not as real as our family..."

Mrs. Wu Qinghou waved her hand nonchalantly and said:

"We've been rich for so long, and our family has a lot of twists and turns...... Don't talk about this, the old body also knows that you shouldn't mix these things, but I also asked your father and your brother about this matter, and they all said that they should talk to you about it.

Mrs. Wuqinghou said this, Empress Dowager Li was even more cautious, although her father Wuqinghou Li Wei and brother Li Wenquan did not have any great talents, they were better than being cautious in handling things, and everything was for her sake.

"The day before yesterday, Zhang Siwei's family from the Ministry of War came to our house, and he originally got a few seasonal southern goods sent from Jiangnan, but after coming to the door, he said that he had something important to talk about......

"Zhang Siwei?"

"Yes, it is estimated that she also directly turned her man's words around, saying that Niangniang is the most virtuous queen mother since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and she can be called the female middle Yao Shun, and it is because of Niangniang that she is as stable as Mount Tai."

Mrs. Wu Qinghou cleared her throat and said, Empress Dowager Li naturally would not be confused by such flattery and politeness, but just frowned and waited there.

"I also said why Niangniang can be a female Zhongyao Shun, Niangniang's own virtuous and talented people needless to say, there is a cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng, and there is a celebrant supervisor Feng Bao inside, with the assistance of these two people, it is also an important reason for Niangniang to serve the world, now the emperor is still underage, some things are inevitably arbitrary, there is no Niangniang in the middle to grasp the general, it is inevitable that there will be turmoil."

"Zhang Siwei's wife actually dares to talk like this!?"

Empress Dowager Li's face was gloomy, her voice immediately raised, and Mrs. Wu Qinghou took a sip of tea and said:

"These ladies are from a beautiful background, and their men have a virtue, and they speak in a twist and turn, anyway, this is what it means, now that Zhang Juzheng is gone, if the emperor chooses someone who is close to him to be an assistant, if he does something, Niangniang wants to change the persuasion, I'm afraid there is no way...... Zhang Siwei wanted to say that when he came to sit in Zhang Juzheng's position, everything would be the same as before, but he would not be as arbitrary as Zhang Juzheng......"

After saying a few words, he saw that Empress Dowager Li had fallen into deep thought, so she stopped talking and stopped, and Mrs. Wuqinghou said again:

"This Zhang Siwei wants to be promoted, but there is some truth in what he said, last night this mess was so big, it was almost out of control, it's not that Zhang Juzheng is dead, people are panicking, and there is such a mess, it can also be seen that the emperor can't hold it back, and he wants his mother to help him for a while, Zhang Siwei is not as good as Zhang Juzheng, and he will not be as unkind as Zhang Juzheng."

"Now it's not as good as when the emperor first ascended the throne, and then the mourning family takes the idea, the emperor will be inferior..."

The reason for being a minor is really indescribable, Emperor Wanli now even has three daughters, this age is already considered a Ding Kou in the Ming Law, how can he be underage.

But the taste of power is intoxicating, the Empress Dowager Li in the first year of Wanli since the general control of the court, is the actual master of the world, Wanli Emperor was fine when he was young, as the emperor grew older, Empress Dowager Li also knew that such a situation would not last long, every time I thought of living in the palace and handing over the power in my hands, I felt reluctant and uncomfortable.

Yesterday was in turmoil, and King Lu was found out again, and Empress Dowager Li was also disheartened and was no longer ready to ask about political affairs.

When Longqing died, Fu Gao Gongquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, suppressing Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, so it was possible to form an internal and external alliance, and then rely on each other to control the government.

But now the situation is different, Zhang Siwei, who is qualified to inherit the auxiliary position in the cabinet, is a logical thing to come to this position, and he does not need so much support and favor in the palace. There is no basis for an alliance with each other.

Without the support of the cabinet auxiliary, the Empress Dowager Li, who lived in the inner palace, had no way to exert influence on the government, which was why the Empress Dowager Li was ready to let go.

When he was about to let go, he didn't expect Zhang Siwei to take the initiative to come to the door, and the power and status of controlling the world and above the Son of Heaven was a huge temptation, and the Empress Dowager Li hesitated.

Just as she was hesitating, Mrs. Wu Qinghou said with a big grin:

"You are the emperor's mother-in-law, can your mother-in-law still harm her own son, isn't this also for the emperor's good, for the good of the Ming Dynasty?"

Empress Dowager Li pondered for a long time and nodded slowly.

There was a great chaos in the palace, there were too many things to do, and Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, didn't even care about eating beef rice, until the sun sank in the west, and then sat in the side courtyard of the ceremonial supervisor's duty room.

The eunuchs of the ceremonial supervisor are different from other places, the inner court yamen are all flattering, and after sitting down here for a while, the tea has not yet cooled, and the eunuch of the Shangshan Supervisor came to the door with a food box, a few exquisite and refreshing side dishes, a bowl of white porridge and buns! The cages were all steaming, and when he saw this food full of color and fragrance, Zhang Cheng was also hungry, nodded and praised Shang Shan Jian a few words, and sat down at the table to eat.

The eunuch of Shangshan Jian left happily, but Zou Yi came, and after entering the door, he first bowed his head respectfully, and before he raised his head to speak, Zhang Cheng smiled and waved his hand and said:

"You are also a eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor now, you don't have to be so polite as our family, sit down quickly, you have also been busy all day, use some together, cushion your stomach."

Zhang Cheng was polite here, and Bang Yi still did enough etiquette before getting up, and said solemnly:

"The father-in-law is the father-in-law, the son has today's position, and it is not the kindness of the father-in-law, but this time he has something to repay the father-in-law.

To achieve the position of the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, but without any arrogance, Zhang Cheng nodded with a smile, looked at Zou Yi's eyes full of appreciation and satisfaction, and said slowly:

"You've come through the experience, sit down and talk about something!"

Buyi didn't sit down, but stood there and whispered:

"There was a news from our side in the palace that when Gonggong Feng was on an errand at King Lu's side, a steward of the Bell and Drum Division went over to ask for a meeting."

Zhang Cheng heard this but picked up the porridge bowl, and a steward of the Bell and Drum Division saw Feng Bao, but it was a normal exchange in the palace, what is this, Zou Yi continued:

"The news that the manager of the Bell and Drum Division is on the side of the Public Security Division, but this person is Zhang Siwei's relationship."

"Oh?"

Zhang Cheng frowned and put down the porridge bowl.

.....……....……

In the palace where King Lu lived, the lives of more than 100 people were over, and Feng Bao, who presided over the matter, did not see any discomfort except for a little tiredness.

Tian Yi, who was in charge of the clerical room, stood beside him, Feng Bao took a sip of tea, and said:

"There's nothing to do in our family, but the Queen Mother has to let him talk about it himself."

Tian Yi frowned, bowed down and said:

"Gonggong Feng, Zhang Siwei has bad intentions, and the position of the auxiliary is originally ruled by the Sacred Heart, he is jumping up and down here, he really has no grace, I originally thought that this person was a loyal and capable minister, but I didn't expect this, Gonggong Feng is still better away from such people."

"You're good at everything, but you're too straight, the habits of those scholars outside, you're too heavily contaminated!!"

Feng Bao stretched out his hand and nodded at Tian Yi, but the two sides can talk about such topics, and they are also their own families, Feng Bao sighed and said:

"At present, this auxiliary position is Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing, last night's incident, Shen Shixing was not afraid of danger, persuaded Xungui to put down the chaos, this kind of courage and heart, this kind of merit, but it is much greater than Zhang Siwei and Qin sent out of Beijing to transfer troops, no wonder he is in a hurry."

"Then Father-in-law Feng is still so ....."

"Shen Shixing and Zhang Cheng are getting closer, those things that Gao Gong did a few years ago, our family doesn't want to encounter them again, Zhang Siwei still has the ability to do things, otherwise Zhang Juzheng wouldn't be so at ease with him."

When Emperor Longqing, Fu Xu Jie's old man quickly returned to his hometown, and the successor Fu Gao Gong was quite wary of Feng Bao, the candidate for the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, the cabinet of the eunuch had a lot of right to speak, and Feng Bao should be on the throne several times according to the rank, but the auxiliary Gao Gong recommended others several times, and in the end even recommended the palm print eunuch of Shang Shan Jian, which is also the reason why Feng Bao immediately joined Zhang Juzheng to step down from power after Wanli ascended the throne.

Hearing Feng Bao say this, Tian Yi stopped making a sound, the two sides were quiet for a while, someone outside said hello, Tian Yi went out for a while and came back, and said:

"Gonggong Feng, just a few big cars have left the palace, it should be Wang Tong and they are gone."

Feng Bao shook his head and sighed:

"Wang Tong, this kid really knows how to advance and retreat, and after this incident, he is also rich!"

.ā€¦ā€¦ļ¼Œ....……...

Last night, there was a big chaos in Beijing, and Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the military department, panicked in the whole house, and Ping Suli never did any housework, and more than a dozen domestic servants played a role at this time, and they guarded the door with knives, guns, and sticks.

In the early morning, Zhang Siwei and the palace envoys went to the outside of the city to transfer troops, and the house was stable.

However, as one by one his cronies returned to report, Zhang Siwei's gloomy face turned solemn.

"It was Wang Tong who escorted the palace last night!? Is this news accurate? ā€

"It's true, although I don't know outside the palace, the people in the palace have spread it all over the !!"
