Emperor Chongzhen let out a long sigh, asked Empress Zhou to sit beside him, stroked Empress Zhou's Qianqian jade hand, and then stared at her tenderly and said: "Wang Zhizheng, cousin Wang, this person has too many ideas, if when I was fighting with Wei Zhongxian, I was close to him and cooperated happily, then after he eradicated Wei Zhongxian, he distanced himself from me!" Think about it, after eradicating Wei Zhongxian at that time, it was the time for him to show his ambitions, but he suddenly chose to go into hiding, and I tried hard to put him in court again, but I never got my wish. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIf the country is stable, it's not that I can't give him back money, but now that the country is full of wind and smoke like this, if he is still unwilling to help me, wouldn't it be too brotherly, and he has no way of being a minister? ”

Empress Zhou knew that Emperor Chongzhen had a great opinion on Wang Zhizheng, and she also insisted that Wang Zhizheng, including Chongguo Gong, was loyal to the royal family, although others did not dare to mention Wang Zhizheng in front of him, but many things could be said between husband and wife.

She was a wise woman, and she knew that she should come to her husband's aid when he was in danger, and she thought that she would certainly know the original intention of Wang Zhizheng's retreat. Although she is not very familiar with Wang Zhizheng, but through the mouths of the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan and her husband, he still knows very well about the capable person called Wang Zhizheng, and he understands that with the help of this person, there is hope for Daming to survive the difficulties!

She smiled, and then seemed to change the topic and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, recently I went to the Chongguo Mansion to talk to the imperial sister-in-law, and when I talked about it, the imperial sister-in-law said something to me when she arrived. ”

Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What did the royal sister-in-law say? ”

Empress Zhou said: "The imperial sister-in-law told me that Wang Zhizheng eradicated Wei Zhongxian, and he was in a high position for a while, and he was afraid that the emperor really had no reward and would bring you trouble, so resigning and returning to hiding was a loyalty to the emperor!" ”

When Empress Zhou said this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile to himself: "Oh, in fact, I have also thought about this, he is afraid of causing my jealousy!" But he thought about it too much, how could I be so unjust? ”

Empress Zhou suddenly stared at Emperor Chongzhen and asked, "There is a saying, I don't know if the concubines should talk about it or not?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen raised his head: "Oh? We husband and wife, if there is anything we should not say, you can say it! ”

Zhou Hou hesitated to bow his head and ponder for a moment, and the beautiful picture made the whole palace freeze.

"Did the emperor have the idea of getting rid of his cousin?" Zhou Hou suddenly asked.

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked, he thought that only he and Zhang Yan knew about this matter, and no third person knew.

So Emperor Chongzhen pretended to be mysterious and said: "Has the first emperor ever had such a thought, how do I know?" ”

Zhou Hou smiled slightly: "Maybe the emperor doesn't want to mention this matter, but when Wang Tiqian was alive, he once told me that the first emperor rewarded Empress Yi'an with a bottle of poisoned wine, and asked her to poison Wang Zhizheng, and told him that Wang Zhizheng was too powerful, and if he didn't get rid of him, he was afraid that he would pose a threat to Sheji in the future." ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand: "Can you believe what Wang Tiqian said?" Wang Tiqian is the remnant of Wei Zhongxian, and he can't live if he does his own evil, you can just treat him as a dog barking when he speaks. ”

Zhou Hou knew that the emperor would not admit this dark fact, after all, people had immortal achievements, but the first emperor wanted to get rid of him, so of course it would seem that the son of the Zhu family was too unlucky.

Zhou Hou nodded and said: "The emperor's court affairs, the concubines don't understand, but the concubines know that the Chongguo Gong family has been loyal for generations, and Wang Zhizheng is not the kind of person that the emperor worried. Are you right? ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "Hehe, queen, are you afraid that I will not be at ease with him?" ”

Zhou Hou shook his head: "It's not that you're afraid that you won't be at ease with him, but if it's the time to employ people today, Wang Zhizheng, Hong Chengchou, Yang He and other capable officials still need to be used, I heard that the Donglin Party listed Wang Zhizheng as the backbone of the eunuch party at that time, don't you think it's ridiculous?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "Yes, the Donglin Party is also very jealous of Wang Zhizheng, and at that time drew up a list of the remnants of the eunuch party, in addition to Shen Shaoxian, Mao Yilu, Huang Liji, and even Wang Zhizheng was also on the side. I crossed out Wang Zhizheng and punished the others. ”

Zhou Hou nodded and said, "Mao Yilu, Shen Shaoxian, these people were all characters who came out of our letter mansion at the beginning, you punished them all, think about it, Wang Zhizheng must think that you are afraid of his henchmen, where do you dare to be an official in our court?" In fact, Shen Shaoxian, Mao Yilu, and those people are not Wang Zhizheng's personal team to be precise, they are loyal to not Wang Zhizheng, but you! Your heeding the advice of the Donglin Party to depose them will do nothing but make the Donglin Party more arrogant. ”

Empress Zhou said it clearly and clearly, all from the bottom of her heart, if these words came from the mouth of the military officials under her hands, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely be furious, but from the mouth of the queen, it made Emperor Chongzhen feel more down-to-earth.

Emperor Chongzhen stared at this harem think tank, and laughed: "I really didn't expect that there is still a think tank of you hidden in my harem." Since you think that Wang Zhizheng is available, I also have the intention of reviving him, but Wang Zhizheng doesn't seem to have any interest in being an official, and I have been rejected several times to persuade him to go out of the mountain. ”

Zhou Hou smiled, held Emperor Chongzhen's elegant hand and said: "With the intention of the concubine, when Wang Zhizheng returns to Beijing, you can reinstate Huang Hengruo, Shen Shaoxian, Mao Yilu and others, and give Wang Zhizheng a statement that you still trust him, so that if you give him a task, he should not shirk again." ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the beautiful and moving Queen Zhou, nodded slightly and said: "What the queen said is an idea, as far as I know, Wang Zhizheng walked with Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai along the way, it seems that Wang Zhizheng should be involved in Zhang Cai's formation of the Restoration Society when he arrives in Jinling, if he intends to organize the Restoration Society, I don't understand, he has always advised me not to be too close to the Donglin Party, why is he so close to the Restoration Society!" ”

Zhou Hou said without thinking: "The concubine thinks that he was invited by Zhang Pu and others to participate in the Restoration Society, and he disobeyed it, and he also came to help the emperor restrain the development of the Restoration Society, so as to avoid the negative impact of the development of the Restoration Society on the emperor's independent adherence to the Dynasty." ”

Zhou Hou said so much, and finally made Emperor Chongzhen's deep and suspicious heart gradually settle down a lot.

My wife will not harm herself if she says this, if there are many people in the world who can make the emperor trust without reservation, it is only the queen!
