Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Imperial Sister-in-law Leaves Beijing

The reason why they panicked was largely because Empress Zhang left Yanziji this time without warning at all, and they were caught off guard.

Although Empress Zhang left Beijing and came to Yanziji's imperial boat, Empress Zhang has been very restrained during this time, although she will meet with people from all walks of life from time to time, and even invite famous prostitutes from Qin Huai such as Zhu Meier and Li Xiangjun to the imperial boat, but she has always abided by the principle of "no interference in politics in the harem", which gives them the illusion that everything is under control.

When Lu Daqi and Jiang Yueguang were forced to give office under Ma Shiying's attack, the Donglin gentlemen also set off a wave of petitions, hoping that Empress Zhang could come forward to keep these two Donglin tycoons, but although Empress Zhang expressed sympathy and retained them, she was unwilling to use the supreme name in her hands to interfere in the government affairs, which made Emperor Hongguang and these ministers around him feel that they had touched Empress Zhang's bottom line.

Empress Zhang has always been a woman, and she doesn't know how to use everyone's respect for her but only knows the story of the void, so these people and Ma Shiying all think that Empress Zhang's temporary residence in Yanziji is a good thing to have the best of both worlds, and the court can put aside the principle of the three chapters of the law and let go of the joint capture and extermination.

But no one expected that Empress Zhang would actually leave Nanjing at this juncture, and Lu Jiude said with a panicked face: "I have already asked clearly, there must be a traitor in the palace, as long as we go a few hours earlier, we can stop Zhang Yan, this woman!"

Emperor Hongguang didn't think that there would be Empress Zhang's spies in his court, so he turned his head and asked Ma Xi, who was in charge of the Beijing camp: "Can you stop Empress Zhang's ship?" If this matter spreads, I am afraid that the market will criticize it!"

Not to mention the "criticism", although Ma Shiying and the four towns of Jiangbei contributed the most in the whole process of Emperor Hongguang, but now the Donglin gentlemen and the public opinion of the world believe that the support of Empress Zhang is the key factor for King Fu to ascend the throne, without the support of Queen Zhang, I am afraid that it is still a situation where King Fu and King Lu are competing.

Although the parties concerned feel that this so-called "public opinion of the world" is complete nonsense, exaggerating the role of Empress Zhang to the point of completely disappearing, but now Empress Zhang has a problem with the legitimacy of the entire Hongguang small court, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops of Zuo Liangyu in the upstream, not to mention that He Tengjiao and Yuan Jixian have always been dissatisfied with the imperial court, and the remote provinces of Fujian, Liangguang, and Yunnan and Guizhou may not be completely loyal to the Hongguang small court.

And although Ma Xi is very pretentious, he is in trouble at this moment: "Zhang Niangniang was able to leave Yanziji this time, naturally she got the full support of the Sincerity Uncle's Mansion, whether this matter can be good or not, I'm afraid it also depends on the attitude of the Sincerity Uncle!"

When he thought of Liu Kongzhao, a reckless man, and the Jiangshui master under his control, Emperor Hongguang had a headache, but he also knew that Empress Zhang's departure from Beijing and going to sea was probably inseparable from the sincerity of the uncle's house, so yesterday he also hated Liu Yongxi, the son of the sincere uncle, to the bones, but now he has already considered how to turn the big thing into a small thing: "Yes, this matter must ask the sincerity to come forward, right...... In front of him, he asked for the position of a Zhoushan coastal defense general? ”

Lu Jiude had a very good memory, and he immediately replied: "Liu Kongzhao wanted a position of Zhoushan coastal defense general, but this matter did not work out in the end, only a Zhoushan coastal defense guerrilla was set up, and the sincerity of the Bo people took over with hundreds of people, Your Majesty, did Zhang Niangniang go to Zhoushan?" ”

Emperor Hongguang nodded: "A few days ago, the imperial sister-in-law always wanted to go to Putuo to make incense, and even let Wang Sun Fan have a secret secret, but I didn't think it was appropriate to agree to her, but I didn't expect the imperial sister-in-law to ......."

He didn't know how to describe Zhang Yan's temperament, and he felt that things were definitely not that simple, but the mess left by Empress Zhang's departure must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Lu Jiude knew that Sun Fan, the king of the imperial history, was not only the hero of the decision, but also the basic team of Zhang Yan and the Sincerity Uncle's Mansion, no matter what Zhang Yan had any ideas, Wang Sun Fan would play them, so he frowned tightly and said: "Now the key issue is how to deal with Liu Yongxi, the little sincerity Bo, Zhang Niangniang's matter is not authentic, and the court has its own opinions on the matter of the year's coin, how can she deliberately block the court!"

Emperor Hongguang felt that this incident might be due to coincidence, but Lu Jiude thought that Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang were the real culprits and deliberately embarrassed the imperial court, and Ma Xi also added fuel and vinegar to the side: "What Prime Minister Lu said is very true, the imperial court can't be too weak in this matter!"

He is considering the authority of his father, everyone learns from Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang, Ma Shiying, the de facto cabinet chief assistant, is naturally boring, but the reason why Emperor Hongguang is a golden mean is that he has always been the most undetermined: "This matter really can't be too weak, but it can't shake the foundation of the country because of this, we must not only invite the imperial sister-in-law back, but also maintain the overall situation of stability and unity in Jiangbei!"

Lu Jiude and Ma Xi felt bad when they heard Emperor Hongguang say this, Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping were already mad to the point of robbery, and they didn't take the court law in their eyes at all, but Emperor Hongguang still said that "we must maintain the overall situation of stability and unity in Jiangbei", and the final result can only be a big thing and a small thing.

But since this was Emperor Hongguang's decision, they could only kneel down and say, "Your Majesty Shengming!"

It was only the next day that they felt how wise Emperor Hongguang's decision was, no one expected that Empress Zhang's influence would be so great, whether it was Donglin or Donglin's enemies, they were now standing in Empress Zhang's position to persuade Emperor Hongguang to think twice, and Sun Fan, the king of imperial history, even reprimanded Emperor Hongguang for his immorality in front of the emperor, but Emperor Hongguang was speechless.

In everyone's eyes, the reason why Empress Zhang left Beijing and went to sea was naturally forced away by Emperor Hongguang!

Although she is only a woman, she has always strictly adhered to the principle of "no political interference in the harem".

And Emperor Hongguang was able to ascend the throne and enthrone her, the imperial sister-in-law, should be the first to take the lead, but Emperor Hongguang never respected this imperial sister-in-law, but pressed step by step, first forced Empress Zhang to move to Yanziji, and now it is pressing step by step, so that she has no way to stay in Nanjing, so she can only leave Beijing and go to sea.

Although Emperor Hongguang and the ministers around him did not admit that there was such a thing as the three chapters of the covenant, nor did they admit that they forced Empress Zhang away, but now everyone is talking about Empress Zhang and the three chapters of the covenant, and even Ma Shiying, the de facto head of the cabinet, has to talk about Empress Zhang and the three chapters of the covenant with the general trend.

In this case, Liu Yongxi, the little sincerity who is most trusted by Empress Zhang, has become extraordinarily expensive, especially after his "protection" move was supported by Xingping Bo Gaojie, everyone felt that although Liu Yongxi deserved to die, it was excusable, and for the sake of Empress Zhang's face, he could only be punished heavily.
