Therefore, everyone has decided to remove the Empress Dowager Zhang in the matter of Liu Jin and let her continue to be her queen mother, but from now on, she can only cultivate her mind in the harem, and she is no longer allowed to interfere in any court politics, which can be regarded as a punishment for her.

Originally, Zilong had already reached a tacit understanding with the ministers, and he was also prepared to deal with it in this way. But now from Liu Jin, knowing that his mother was imprisoned by Empress Dowager Zhang, he held his breath and kept thinking about how to rescue his mother.

Now that he has spoken openly with these important ministers, and the matter involves the Empress Dowager Zhang, Zilong did not hide it at all, and directly told the relationship.

After listening to this, all the important ministers were silent, it was Li Dongyang, who was originally fast-talking, and he couldn't help but be silent at this time.

They also saw that Yi Zilong's meaning was to greet his mother Zheng Jinlian with great fanfare, and then correct Zheng Jinlian's name.

Zilong is Zheng Jinlian's parent, doing this is understandable, it is really human nature, and all important ministers will be blameless. But if you really do this, it is something that you important ministers don't want to see.

After all, Empress Dowager Zhang was suspected of rebellion before, they all wanted to turn big things into small things, and small things into small things, but they just restrained Empress Dowager Zhang. Now this matter, although Yu Zilong is extremely important, all the important ministers don't want to make a big move.

For a while, this side hall, which was still quite lively, suddenly quieted down, and Zilong saw this, although he also understood the concerns of the important ministers, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Seeing that all the important ministers had not spoken, Zilong was about to reveal the matter, but Gao Feng raised his head, looked at Zilong, and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, the old minister has one thing that I want to tell you in private!"

"Oh?" Zilong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood that what Gao Feng wanted to say might be his mother's affairs back then, after all, Gao Feng served the emperors of the three dynasties in the inner court, and he was really one of the insiders back then.

Thinking of knowing something about his mother, Zilong was also very happy, nodded and said, "Yes, Gao Gong will come with me!"

After finishing speaking, he explained to Li Dongyang again, and led Gao Feng to a corner of the side hall. Although it is only a side hall, it is much larger than ordinary houses.

Therefore, although this is only a corner of the hall, there are also seats, and after Zilong brought Gao Feng here, he retreated left and right, and asked Ouyang Jin to help him guard the surroundings before signaling Gao Feng to sit down.

Unexpectedly, Gao Feng adhered to the distinction between monarchs and ministers, just waved his hand, and said: "Although Your Majesty is only temporarily acting as the monarch, one day as a king, one day is the Majesty of the old minister! Your Majesty is in front, how can there be a place for the old minister to sit!"

Zilong also knew that an old minister like Gao Feng insisted from the bottom of his heart, and when he saw that he refused to sit down, he was not reluctant, but just smiled faintly and said: "Okay! Gao Gong is high and bright, and he abides by the courtesy of the monarch and minister, I admire him very much! Okay, gossip aside, Gao Gong gets along with me alone, but can he teach me?"

"I don't dare to teach it, but the old minister is also one of the witnesses of His Majesty's acquaintance with Mrs. Zheng back then, and there are some things that should be told to His Majesty!" Gao Feng shook his hand, bowed solemnly, and said, "It's just that before I say it, the old minister also implored Your Majesty to forgive the old minister for the crime of speaking without a word!"

"The speaker is not guilty!" Zilong also said neatly and neatly.

With Zilong's assurance, Gao Feng also slowly used his unique low voice to slowly tell the things between Emperor Hongzhi, Empress Dowager Zhang, and Zheng Jinlian.

It turned out that Empress Zhang was made the crown princess in February of the twenty-third year of Chenghua, and in October, Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne and officially became the queen.

At first, Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, but really raised their eyebrows, respected each other like guests, for a time, in the court and the opposition, it was passed on as a good story, praised by Shilin, and a model for the ministers of the court.

During this period, Empress Zhang has been silent, so that the storage position is vacant, which caused the ministers to feel uneasy, and they competed to persuade Emperor Hongzhi, wanting Emperor Hongzhi to accept a few more harems.

However, Emperor Hongzhi loved Empress Zhang deeply, but he never agreed, so that the six palaces were empty, the harem was quite deserted, and the ministers of the court and the central government were also worried.

Things went until the third year of Hongzhi, but Empress Zhang still showed no signs of pregnancy, and Emperor Hongzhi's body was confirmed to have some problems, and it may not be a holiday.

This time, it made the courtiers even more impatient, and they were all persuading, among which Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and other cabinet ministers also had a side-knocking move.

Emperor Hongzhi was also worried, afraid that he would die unfortunately, which not only made Empress Zhang lonely, but even caused turmoil in the country, so he also had some thoughts.

Empress Zhang also saw it, but she didn't blame it, but persuaded Emperor Hongzhi to take a few more concubines so as to continue the royal bloodline.

It's just that when Empress Zhang said this, Emperor Hongzhi felt that he couldn't stand her, so he didn't think about it again. Originally, if it had continued like this, most of the Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang would have gone on like this.

Unfortunately, on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the third year of Hongzhi, the imperial palace held a banquet to entertain the courtiers. Emperor Hongzhi was happy, but he drank a little too much.

After the banquet was over, Zheng Jinlian, who was the emperor's personal palace maid at the time, helped Luan to drive and went to Kunning Palace. But I don't know if Emperor Hongzhi drank too much, or for some other reason, these two people with very different identities did something wrong in the end because of this drunkenness.

Originally, if it was just like this, Empress Zhang knew that she would only blame Emperor Hongzhi for being ridiculous. But Zheng Jinlian has been repeatedly saying that this matter is her fault.

Empress Zhang was angry, and she also blamed Zheng Jinlian, resenting her for seducing the emperor and deposing her from the palace. But at this time, Emperor Hongzhi stood up and said that since the mistake had been made, he would temporarily put Zheng Jinlian in the palace.

If Empress Zhang had agreed to accept Zheng Jinlian as a concubine in the spirit of continuing the royal bloodline, but now that Emperor Hongzhi himself spoke, it was different.

Empress Zhang, who had been in the harem for several years, felt that Zheng Jinlian had become a threat to her, and had been demanding that Zheng Jinlian be deposed from the palace.

Because of her strong opposition, Zheng Jinlian could only be a palace maid and was left in the palace by Emperor Hongzhi. And the relationship between Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang is also because of this incident, which is slowly weakening.

When Zilong and Zhengde were born, Empress Zhang was even more worried that Zheng Jinlian would take the position of queen by virtue of her son, so she worked with Liu Jin and Cao Qiuhai to play the trick of changing the tanuki for the prince.

At that time, there was something in the court, and Emperor Hongzhi had no time to take care of him, and when he returned to the harem, Zheng Jinlian's eldest son had been said by Empress Zhang to be born to herself, and the youngest son Zilong, except for a very few people, even Emperor Hongzhi did not know.

As for Zheng Jinlian herself, she was placed under house arrest by Empress Zhang in an unknown place, no matter how persecuted Emperor Hongzhi was, she could not make Empress Zhang release Zheng Jinlian and the child.

Just when the palace was in trouble because of this incident, Zheng Wang outside the palace also got the news out of nowhere, and even told Zheng Jinlian about it, and the capital was full of storms for a while.

In the imperial court, it is also because of this incident that there are rumors. Empress Zhang was even more furious, and wanted to send someone directly out of the palace to execute Zheng Wang.

Emperor Hongzhi saw that if he continued to stalemate with Empress Zhang, not only the lives of Zheng Jinlian and Zheng Wang would be worried, but even the government and the opposition would be in turmoil.

He grew up in an extremely turbulent environment since he was a child, and he was afraid every day, so he naturally didn't want his children and his country to become like that again.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi finally compromised and reached a secret agreement with Empress Zhang, using Zheng Wang's fallacies as a crime to imprison Zheng Wang, as long as Zheng Wang no longer said these things, then he would be safe in his life, and the next glory and wealth.

As for Zheng Jinlian, Emperor Hongzhi was also unthinkable, so he could only force Empress Zhang to swear a poisonous oath so that she would not harm Zheng Jinlian's life.

In exchange, Zhengde also became the son of Empress Zhang, and Empress Zhang was named a prince and favored for a lifetime, and Emperor Hongzhi also swore that he would never accept a concubine again.

At this point, it's almost over. Gao Feng paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, what happened back then, in fact, it was not the Queen Mother's fault......

When Zilong heard this, he couldn't help but think deeply. It is true that Empress Dowager Zhang was not pregnant at the beginning, and her father, Emperor Hongzhi, was in poor health and needed to continue to have children.

But Empress Dowager Zhang also persuaded Emperor Hongzhi to take a concubine at first, and there was no objection.

It's a pity that his mother and father knew each other too strangely, so that Empress Dowager Zhang hated because of jealousy, and in the end, because of Emperor Hongzhi's repeated protection, she took the risk.

In this way, Empress Dowager Zhang seems to be extremely innocent. Although Zilong hated her, he couldn't help but feel a little pity for her when he knew these things.

Empress Dowager Zhang seems to be the sole favorite of the harem, and her life is glorious and rich, even the Zhang family is an indescribable scenery. It's a pity that what she cares about the most, Emperor Hongzhi's true love, ended up with her mother.

Although Gao Feng didn't make it clear, what happened that night, the night when Emperor Hongzhi was with his mother, and why Emperor Hongzhi, who had been clean and self-conscious, had always refused to accept a concubine, but he asked for his mother in a daze.

And his mother, Zheng Jinlian, also kept saying that she was wrong afterwards. Among them, there is still another hidden situation, which makes the events of the year quite confusing.

Originally, Zilong has always firmly believed that if it weren't for Empress Dowager Zhang's lust for profit, he wouldn't have separated his mother and son and lived among the people, he didn't like the royal glory and wealth, but he didn't want to wander alone.

But now Gao Feng's words can be regarded as overturning a little of what he thought he thought. It turned out that Empress Dowager Zhang was not like that, and she never thought of directly causing her mother to die.

It's just that things were confusing at the beginning, and Zilong couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, and wanted to ask Gao Feng, but it was obvious that this old eunuch only knew so much, otherwise he wouldn't have said it.
