Zhang Juzheng hurried over, and when he saw the Empress Dowager Li, he bowed down and saluted.

Empress Dowager Li and Yan Yuese's eunuch gave Zhang Juzheng a seat.

Zhang Juzheng thanked him and then sat cautiously on the Jindun.

"The mourning family summoned Elder Zhang Ge this time to discuss an important matter with Elder Ge."

Empress Dowager Li said unhurriedly, revealing the majesty of the Empress Dowager of the dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly arched his hand and said, "But please ask the Queen Mother to command." ”

For Emperor Wanli, a student, Zhang Juzheng has always been very strict. But to Empress Dowager Li, he was very respectful.

First, he knew that he was able to tilt the power of the government and the opposition because of the support of the Empress Dowager Li. Second, he really admired Empress Dowager Li.

It is precisely because of the strict requirements of Empress Dowager Li that such a diligent king as Emperor Wanli was cultivated.

This is the merit of the community.

"The mourning family is ready to abolish the emperor and re-establish the heir of King Lu."

Empress Dowager Li said that the clouds are light and the wind is light, as easy as deposing the emperor and peeling an egg.

Zhang Juzheng is the second monk who is confused, isn't the Queen Mother stunned?

After a long time, Zhang Juzheng said: "Why did the Queen Mother say this? ”

Empress Dowager Li sighed, and then told Zhang Juzheng the ins and outs of the matter.

"The emperor is so rebellious, the mourning family is very sad, and he decided to sacrifice to the Taimiao and set up King Lu instead."

King Lu Zhu Yiyi is the fourth son of Emperor Longqing, and his biological mother is also Empress Dowager Li.

It is not inconceivable that Empress Dowager Li said that it would be changed to King Lu. After all, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and it is also in her interests for King Lu to succeed to the throne.

"What does Elder Zhang Ge think about this?"

"Panic!"

Zhang Juzheng sighed with emotion: "Although Your Majesty's move is inappropriate, it is not a big mistake. The minister thought that the act of abolishing the emperor was absolutely unfeasible. ”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Li finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

If Zhang Juzheng really echoed her, he really wouldn't be able to get off the stage.

"Oh? What does Zhang Ge think he should do? ”

"I have good words and advice to Your Majesty."

Zhang Juzheng said solemnly: "The minister thinks that there must be traitors and villains around His Majesty. It should be cut off in one fell swoop. ”

Empress Dowager Li nodded lightly: "The traitorous villain must be removed." However, the emperor's mourning family also has to be beaten. Come on, go to the Qianqing Palace and invite the emperor to come. ”

Zhang Juzheng's heart sank, and he said in his heart, Empress Dowager Li, this is still playing the trick of abolishing the emperor.

"Queen Mother, the minister will retire, right?"

"Zhang Ge will stay in the palace, and the mourning family will teach the emperor a good lesson."

This means that Zhang Juzheng sang a double reed with her.

Zhang Juzheng had no choice but to continue to sit on the Jindun. But he only felt uncomfortable at the moment, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

After about two teas, Emperor Wanli hurried over.

After he entered the hall, he didn't notice Zhang Juzheng, and bowed to the Empress Dowager Li and said: "The son of the minister visits the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly got up and saluted the emperor: "The minister greets Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Wanli said suspiciously: "Mr. Yuanfu is also there?" ”

Empress Dowager Li did not give Emperor Wanli a good look. She snorted coldly and said, "The emperor is becoming more and more majestic now." ”

"Why did the Queen Mother say this?"

"Hmph, did the mourning family hear that a palace maid in the Qianqing Palace was ordered to be beheaded by you because she spilled tea on you?"

Poof.

Emperor Wanli knelt straight to the ground and said urgently: "Erchen just wanted to teach the palace maid a lesson, and only cut off her hair afterwards, and didn't kill her." ”

Empress Dowager Li shook her head: "As a king, you don't even have this amount of tolerance, the mourning family is really ashamed of you!" ”

Emperor Wanli's face turned red and said, "Erchen knows that he is wrong. ”

"It's late!"

Since Empress Dowager Li intends to teach Wanli a lesson, she naturally will not give up easily. She turned around and bowed to the tablet of the first emperor and said: "The mourning family will abolish you, an unfilial son, and set up King Lu as the emperor instead." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli was directly stupid. hurriedly walked to the front of the Empress Dowager Li, hugged the thigh of the Empress Dowager Li and cried: "The son knows that he is wrong, and the son will never dare again." ”

Seeing that Empress Dowager Li didn't speak, Emperor Wanli turned to Zhang Juzheng and said, "Mr. Yuanfu helped me intercede for my mother." ”

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly knelt down, but did not speak.

Emperor Wanli was cold in his heart when he saw this scene.

He never thought that because of such a trivial matter, the queen mother would want to abolish his position as emperor.

What's even more hateful is that his master Zhang Juzheng didn't intercede for him.

Emperor Wanli didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if he was really deposed. Can the deposed emperors of all dynasties have a good end?

Even in the best of circumstances, he would be confined to a high wall for the rest of his life. This was by no means what he wanted to see.

"Queen Mother, the sons really know that they are wrong. The retainers are willing to kneel in the Cining Palace and repent sincerely. ”

Emperor Wanli gritted his teeth and simply resorted to a bitter plan. In his opinion, Empress Dowager Li still loves his son. As long as he makes a gesture, Empress Dowager Li will definitely be soft-hearted.

Who knew that this time, Empress Dowager Li seemed to have eaten the scales and had an iron heart, and did not forgive Wanli, but said coldly: "If you want to kneel, go to the outside of the hall and kneel, don't disturb the rest of the mourning family." ”

Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Walking outside the hall, Emperor Wanli gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and knelt down directly.

The hard white stone makes the knees very uncomfortable. Emperor Wanli couldn't remember how long it had been since he had knelt on such a hard ground.

In the past, even if I asked my mother to say goodbye, I knelt on the soft carpet.

But he didn't dare to complain at all now, and only hoped that he could make the queen mother feel compassion and change the idea of abolishing the emperor through his pious actions.

He must not accept the deposition of the emperor, never!

At this moment, the sky suddenly became cloudy, first a few lightning bolts, and then a few muffled thunders.

Emperor Wanli shrank his neck frightened by the thunder and hurriedly knelt down.

In this age of celestial induction, the emperor's misconduct is believed to cause God's punishment.

And God's punishment is usually all kinds of disasters.

Now the heavy rain naturally has another meaning.

The downpour poured down, and the raindrops hit the Wanli Emperor's Wing Shan Crown, and then flowed down his cheeks, soaking the dragon robe.

The personal eunuch hurriedly took the umbrella cover to give Wanli a beat, but was scolded by Wanli: "Get away." ”

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, but then dodged away.

In summer, the rain comes quickly, usually in torrential rain.

This time was no exception.

The torrential rain poured on Emperor Wanli's thin body, but Emperor Wanli remained immovable like a Buddha statue.

In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Li twisted the Buddha beads with her eyes closed, and there were words in her mouth.

Zhang Juzheng reminded: "Queen Mother, it's raining heavily outside, and Your Majesty is afraid that you will be sick." ”

Empress Dowager Li sighed and said, "Let him kneel for a while, this time he must be given a long memory." ”

Zhang Juzheng is helpless, the Queen Mother is roasting him on the fire!
