Concubine Li Guifei left Ciqing Palace, so she took Princess Shouyang to Qianqing Palace and met Emperor Longqing.

About a quarter of an hour later, Meng Chong, who was guarding outside the Qianqing Palace, saw Li Guifei come out with a shallow smile on her face.

From the palace, Emperor Longqing's lack of qi shouted: "Meng Chong, Meng Chong!" ”

"The slave is here, the slave is here!"

Meng Chong hurriedly came back to his senses, hurriedly saluted Concubine Li, and headed towards the palace.

Emperor Longqing had a holy decree to be issued, and when he drafted it with a pen, he ordered: "Send it to the cabinet." ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey."

Meng Chong bowed forward, took the holy decree from Emperor Longqing, and took it to the cabinet.

Today's emperor, the approval of the recital depends on the drafting of the cabinet ministers, that is, a holy decree is issued, and the cabinet also needs to verify it. If the ministers have an opinion, then this decree cannot be promulgated.

Meng Chong didn't know what was written in the holy decree, he only knew that when he ran to the cabinet duty room east of the Huangji Gate and handed the holy decree to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, the two adults changed color in unison.

"My lords, but what's wrong with the Divine Decree?"

Now there are only two ministers in the cabinet, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and what kind of holy decree the good emperor wants to give really makes these two people curious.

But they never thought that this holy decree would be related to their own children.

Emperor Longqing's holy decree was to summon Xie Fu and Zhang Lizhu, two little girls, into the palace and be a gentleman for Princess Shouyang!

Gao Gong carried a corner of the holy decree, and his heart was really mixed, and he sighed and said: "No wonder when the gentleman who said that the girl from Lizhu suddenly appeared in Fayuan Temple, I always felt uneasy in my heart, so I was waiting here." ”

In the holy decree, Emperor Longqing determined that Zhang Lizhu and Xie Fu's two daughters were qualified to be the husband of Princess Shouyang for two reasons.

One is that the two of them are famous, and no one can match the etiquette cultivation.

The second is that one is a student of Xu Wei, and the other has been as famous as Xu Wei, and being able to get Xu Wei to pair up with a couplet is equivalent to his talent being recognized by Xu Wei.

The gentleman who chose these two people as princesses can be regarded as being able to suppress the princess and teach the princess.

No matter how you look at it, this is an irrefutable decree.

But Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng glanced at each other, and shook their heads almost imperceptibly at the same time.

Recently, what happened to the girl in Ge Shouli's family, both of them saw it.

I heard that the emperor has recently contracted a strange disease, and few people in the harem dare to approach him, and whoever gets close will be unlucky.

But if you ask the girl from the minister's family to enter the palace, it will really hurt people.

The two have worked together for a long time, and they have had conflicts for a long time, but they are surprisingly unanimous on this matter.

Zhang Juzheng calmly opened his mouth: "Gonggong Meng, the emperor's holy decree, I'm afraid that I still have to consider it, and Lord Yuanfu and I will have to meet the emperor." ”

What kind of holy decree can make the two ministers show the expression of facing a great enemy at the same time?

Meng Chong was curious, but a smile was forced on his fat face, and he said, "But what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong, that's not something you know."

Gao Gong didn't save face for Meng Chong when he spoke, this was the person he supported with one hand, but he took Qiao in front of him, which made Gao Gong feel uncomfortable.

"Uncle, let's go, let's see the emperor."

After speaking, he directly rolled up the holy decree and walked towards the outside of the duty room.

Zhang Juzheng glanced at Meng Chong with his beard, and also followed Gao Gong's footsteps.

Meng Chong stood in place, his face depressed, not with him, not from standing, really with the illusion of being slapped in the face.

However, Gao Gong is the one who supported him at the beginning, if there is no help from this Yuanfu Lord, where can he have a good life today?

In the final analysis, Meng Chong is a sincere person, far less than Feng Bao's full belly of flowers, angry for a while, it passed, and hurriedly pulled out his legs and chased outside.

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng didn't want their girls to set foot in this palace, and they had already arrived at the Qianqing Palace after a while.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Longqing refused to let go at all, and his momentum rose rarely, and he scolded the two auxiliary ministers in a few words.

At this time, Feng Bao had already returned from the prince's Yuqing Palace and happened to bump into this scene.

He was well-informed, and what was happening in the palace was already clear, so he glanced at the two ministers when he came up, and came up to greet him: "The two adults are here, please give you two a greeting." ”

Gao Gong never waited to see Feng Bao, so he snorted and didn't speak.

Zhang Juzheng was on good terms with Feng Bao in private, and said kindly: "Father-in-law Feng is also fine." This is just coming back from the prince's side? ”

"Yes, the prince is still doing his homework."

Feng Bao casually said a good word to Zhu Yijun, and said: "The noble concubine Niangniang has also gone to see the prince, saying that the prince should pay attention to his body, and he complained to our family, saying that the prince's husband is you, but the gentlemen of Princess Shouyang will only make Princess Shouyang angry." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed slightly, just opposite Feng Bao's eyes.

Feng Bao smiled, nodded, and glanced at the inside of the Qianqing Palace again: "When I came here just now, it seemed that I heard the emperor throwing things inside, and our family didn't dare to talk to you two more, so I went in and served." ”

"Please."

Zhang Juzheng arched his hand and saw that Feng Bao had entered.

Gao Gong stood beside him, looking coldly.

"I can't see that you're being polite to the eunuch."

"It's just a number of courtesies, but he is also in charge of the East Factory, and our family ate dumplings or steamed buns last night, and he may know it clearly." Zhang Juzheng smiled.

Gao Gong snorted coldly: "My family didn't eat dumplings last night, and I didn't eat steamed buns." I didn't know that my uncle's mansion was so poor that he ate steamed buns and dumplings. ”

There are guns and sticks in these words, and they are simply choking to death.

Zhang Juzheng was so choked that he couldn't speak for a long time, but when he could speak, he couldn't look angry at all.

"Lord Yuanfu, Gonggong Feng's matter is put aside for the time being, I think the emperor's decision has been made. I thought about it left and right, this is to be a female gentleman for the princess, and the emperor has no reason to break it, maybe we are too worried. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Gao Gong listened to Zhang Juzheng's breath, and his whole face sank suddenly.

Zhang Juzheng didn't move, and said with a smile: "Literally, the female gentleman who can be a princess may not be an honor for them." In my opinion, the emperor's holy decree should be issued downward, even if the officials of the Ministry of Rites are called, we can't find any mistakes, we can stop it for a while, and we can't stop it for a lifetime. ”

After speaking, he looked at the Qianqing Palace, and then said to Gao Gong: "There are still a bunch of twists and turns that I don't pay attention to, Lord Yuanfu, let's go back?" ”

Gao Gong stared at Zhang Juzheng's face that was not visible at all, but the words of Feng Bao when he came over sounded in his mind.

"The concubine Niangniang also went to see the prince, and said that the prince should pay attention to his body, and complained to our family, saying that the prince's husband is you, but the gentlemen of Princess Shouyang will only make Princess Shouyang angry."

It turned out to be Li Guifei's idea......

Zhang Juzheng suddenly changed his hexagram, I am afraid that it is because of what Feng Bao said.

A chilly air suddenly rose from the soles of the high arched feet.

He looked at the cabinet minister, who was much younger than himself, and looked at the smile on his face, but he felt that behind his back, it was like a decapitating steel knife, and as long as he made a mistake, it would fall.

Around Gao Gong's body, it seemed that a huge net had been laid, but he felt that he could not do anything.

"Motosuke-sama?"

Seeing that Gao Gong was not moving, Zhang Juzheng was a little worried, and couldn't help but call.

Gao Gong looked at him deeply.

Perhaps, at this time, Zhang Juzheng has already encircled Feng Bao, the companion of the crown prince Zhu Yijun......

So, once the new emperor ascends the throne, will he still have the position of an old minister?

No one can tell.

That holy decree finally didn't stop it.

Towards the evening, the eunuch hurriedly went out of the palace with the holy decree and read the emperor's decree to Zhang and Gao.

Shamao Hutong, Zhangfu.

When the holy decree arrived, Zhang Lizhu was taking the maid and took a pair of scissors to cut off the flower branches that branched obliquely to the road.

After hearing the holy decree, she suppressed the doubt in her heart, respectfully accepted it, and asked the people around her to send the eunuch to send some silver money, and then hurriedly sent someone out to inquire about the situation.

"Miss, this won't be ......"

The maids around her couldn't help but think of Ge Xiu in front of her, for fear that Zhang Lizhu would be the same as Ge Xiu.

Zhang Lizhu held the holy decree, his eyes flashed: "This holy decree is to pass the ...... of the cabinet"

In other words, Zhang Juzheng must have seen it.

Why, would he allow this holy decree to come to Zhang's mansion?

Perhaps, only when Zhang Juzheng comes back, can he understand.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Zhang Lizhu said: "I am not the only one who has entered the palace, there is also a Xie Fu, and I can be regarded as sharing hardships with her." ”

Xie Fu didn't want to share the hardships with Zhang Lizhu.

Almost not long after the holy decree arrived at Zhang's mansion, Xie Fu also received the holy decree here, and she really felt a little frightened when she heard the eunuch read out the words above.

"The character is good, and the person has learned. Princess Shouyang has long admired the name of the two, and today Zhang and Xie entered the palace as the teacher of Princess Shouyang, and entered the palace the next day. ”

"Long live the courtiers, thank you."

Stretching out his hand and bowing his head, Xie Fu answered.

Holding the holy decree in his hand, Xie Fu looked at the dazzling bright yellow, and had a feeling of being in a dream.

It's Ge Xiu in front, and now it's your turn?

Princess Shouyang, isn't she the little girl who doesn't like herself?

Xie Fu couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

She and Zhang Lizhu are really the same thoughts.

Although the holy decree has arrived, it has indeed passed the cabinet, and Gao Gong knows the existence of the holy decree, either he cannot stop it, or he knows that there will be no harm in this holy decree.

Which one is it, we have to wait for the high arch to come back.

Xie Fu stood in front of the hall, the ink skirt was extremely elegant, the red glow fell on her, she looked up at the clouds in the sky, but saw a few birds flying over the courtyard with fluttering wings, low ground.

Bang......

In the distance, thunder was heard from nowhere.

The wind picked up, and the thick black clouds began to roll, obscuring the glow in the blink of an eye.

Xie Fu muttered, "It's going to rain......"
