Chapter 544: In the Qianqing Palace

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty," Zhang Fan wanted to salute the two of them after entering the house.

"Get up and speak," Empress Dowager Li said.

There were only three of them in the room, and obviously, Empress Dowager Li didn't want those palace maids and eunuchs outside to know anything.

After Zhang Fan stood up, he looked carefully and found that Empress Dowager Li was calm, as if nothing had happened just now, but Zhang Fan knew in his heart that she must have said something to Zhu Yijun just now, but Zhang Fan didn't know what she said.

His head didn't move, his eyes turned to Zhu Yijun's side, Zhang Fan saw something, and now Zhu Yijun hasn't changed much, at least the expression on his face hasn't changed, but Zhang Fan can see some grievances in his eyes, obviously, it's definitely because of what Empress Dowager Li said to him just now.

"Zhang Qing's family," Empress Dowager Li spoke, "What the hell is going on, come to think of it, Your Majesty can't do anything to make these ministers do this, and now Feng Baoren is not by the Mourning family's side, and the Mourning family doesn't know what happened at all, Zhang Qing's family came to explain to the Mourning family,"

"Yes, Queen Mother," Zhang Fan nodded, but he muttered in his heart, originally, he felt that in this matter, the shadow of the Empress Dowager Li was inevitable, but in Zhang Fan's view, although the Empress Dowager Li was involved, it was not too much to relate to.

But now that the Empress Dowager Li said this, Zhang Fan was a little surprised, the Empress Dowager Li obviously looked like she didn't know anything, of course, there was no need for the Empress Dowager Li to act in front of Zhang Fan, so the Empress Dowager Li might have nothing to do with this matter at all.

In this way, Zhang Fan has to think about it, since Empress Dowager Li doesn't know, if Zhang Fan tells the whole story, will it have any impact on Feng Bao, and now, although Feng Bao has done a lot of inauthentic things during this time, Zhang Fan doesn't think it's a good idea to argue with Feng Bao at this time.

What's more, in Zhang Fan's view, Feng Bao wants to develop into the kind of government that can cholera and stir the Ming Dynasty into a pot of porridge, whether it is from the current situation or from the perspective of the future trend of events, Feng Bao does not have that opportunity.

"The words of the Empress Dowager will be like this," Zhang Fan said, "Yesterday, the DPRK and the Central Committee discussed who should take over the post of secretary of the ministry,"

"The mourning family also knows about this," Empress Dowager Li said.

"Exactly," Zhang Fan continued, "At that time, many officials in the court recommended Lord Shige Shouli Ge, the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, and after leaving the court yesterday, the ministers of the court even jointly wrote a memorabilia and arrived in the palace,"

"The mourning family also knows about this matter," Empress Dowager Li nodded again and said, "Yesterday, the fold entered the palace, and when it came to the hands of the mourning family, Ge Shouli also heard of the mourning family, and he was a veteran of the three dynasties, and he was also loyal to the monarch and the country for decades in the court, and he did his best, but these people did not mention it, and the mourning family was originally interested in him, and now the mourning family saw the joint performance of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and recommended Ge Shouli as the secretary of the ministry, and they also agreed in their hearts,"

"That'...... Why didn't the Queen Mother make an order," Zhang Fan couldn't help asking, although he said that Zhang Fan already knew something in the main hall just now, but he didn't understand many specific things, and now since the Empress Dowager Li said that she had seen the twist and turn, she also agreed with Ge Shouli in her heart to serve as the secretary of the ministry, but now, things are not like that at all, which can't help but let Zhang Fan ask this sentence.

"Originally, the mourning family wanted to make an order," Empress Dowager Li said, "but the mourning family thought about it, according to this situation, this Ge Shouli's official department is still a book, so the mourning family wants to let His Majesty make a decision, although this is already a decision for others to do, but let His Majesty make a holy decree, it should also be...... Zhang Aiqing, what are you doing with the mourning family?"

Hearing Empress Dowager Li say this, Zhang Fan was already completely sure that she really had nothing to do with this matter, and she didn't even know what was going on.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, now the candidate for the Ministry of Shangshu has been confirmed," Zhang Fan did not answer her words immediately, but said so.

"That's good," Empress Dowager Li didn't hear anything wrong, "The official department is the head of the hundred officials, and he has been vacant for many days, and now there is someone to take over, or the person who is expected by the hundreds of officials in the court, that is naturally a good thing,"

"It's just ......" Zhang Fan didn't think there was a lot to say, but he thought this matter was too interesting, "The person who took over as the secretary of the ministry was not Master Ge,"

"What," Sure enough, hearing the news, Empress Dowager Li was really taken aback, "How could it not be,"

She then turned her head to Zhu Yijun on the side and asked, "The mourning family sent someone to the emperor, could it be that the emperor didn't see it,"

At this time, Empress Dowager Li's expression was a little annoyed, too, if the emperor had to make a decision, it would be nothing, but he turned a deaf ear to the concerted performance of so many ministers in the court, and acted in the opposite direction, which was really a bit too much.

If you want to say that Zhu Yijun is an emperor who holds great power in his hands and acts arbitrarily, this is nothing, but now Zhu Yijun is just a ten-year-old child, how can a child have that kind of thought, either someone misleads him, or he is making trouble with someone in his heart.

If it is the first case, although Zhu Yijun is not the main thing, but the Empress Dowager Li still has to teach him a good lesson.

But if it is the second case, Zhu Yijun is dangerous, an emperor, even if he is just a child now, but he must also understand what kind of consequences his actions will bring, especially at this time, it is a matter of national affairs, but because of the will in his heart, and ignore the national society, it is particularly serious, if this is the case, the Empress Dowager Li will never spare Zhu Yijun.

But at this moment, Zhu Yijun didn't know what to say in the face of his mother's questioning, and the aggrieved look on his face was even more serious.

"Queen Mother," Zhang Fan saw this, so he had to say for Zhu Yijun, "It's not because of Your Majesty's fault at this time, it's just that Your Majesty hasn't seen that twist and turn at all."

"What's going on," Empress Dowager Li heard Zhang Fan say this, and became even more puzzled, "The mourning family specially asked people to send the song to the emperor here yesterday, how could the emperor not see it,"

Although Empress Dowager Li's words were like asking herself, Zhang Fan knew that she was also waiting for herself to give her an explanation, but Zhang Fan really didn't know what to say about this matter, or rather, he didn't know what kind of situation would be after telling Empress Dowager Li.

Seeing that Zhang Fan didn't answer himself, but there was a strange look on his face, Empress Dowager Li also understood in her heart that this matter must be a little strange.

"Someone," Empress Dowager Li said suddenly.

Immediately, the palace maid and the eunuch opened the door and walked in.

"Take Your Majesty to the bath and change clothes," Empress Dowager Li commanded.

Zhu Yijun was taken away, and before leaving, he still looked back at Zhang Fan, and seemed a little uneasy.

"Weichen sends off Your Majesty," Zhang Fan said to Zhu Yijun, but there was a relieved look on his face.

Seeing Zhang Fan like this, Zhu Yijun was better and followed the palace maid.

The door was closed again, and this time there were only Zhang Fan and Empress Dowager Li.

"Zhang Aiqing, what the hell is going on, let's talk about it in detail," Empress Dowager Li commanded.

"Queen Mother," Zhang Fan said, "The details of the matter, Wei Chen also don't know, but I think that someone is making a hindrance from it, and he didn't let the music fold into His Majesty's hands,"

"Speaking of which......" Hearing Zhang Fan say this, Empress Dowager Li also thought about it, "Wang Shan, who was sent by the mourning family to send a recital to the emperor yesterday, the mourning family really didn't see him come back,"

Hearing what Empress Dowager Li said, Zhang Fan understood more in his heart, it seemed that Feng Bao intercepted the twist and turn, although Feng Bao may not have thought that things would be so big today, but he also absolutely understood that as soon as the candidate for the secretary of the ministry came out today, something would definitely happen.

"Please also ask the Queen Mother to send someone to find the princess quickly," Zhang Fan hurriedly said, "If you can find it, maybe it is the prince's own business, as long as you ask, you will know, but if you can't even find anyone, I'm afraid that after this matter, someone is making trouble,"

"Someone," Empress Dowager Li shouted, "Go and find that Wang Mountain for the mourning family,"

After finishing the order, Empress Dowager Li was even more angry and slapped her palm on the small table beside her, obviously, she was really angry.

"Dare to play tricks under the nose of the mourning family, if the mourning family finds out who it is, let him look good,"

Yes, now the Empress Dowager Li is in power, but after all, she is a woman, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is an explicit order of the Ming Dynasty, therefore, although the Empress Dowager Li is now in power, she is not out of line, most of them are in the harem, and she has never thought of controlling the government or anything, as long as everything can be under her control, but now, there are people who are playing smart under her eyes, of course she will not allow it.

And Zhang Fan said this, but it was also considered, that Wang Shan, it is estimated that most of them will not be found, and if they can't find someone, they will die without proof, so Feng Bao has nothing to do with this matter, and it is easy to get rid of it.

And Zhang Juzheng, who instigated Zhu Yijun, Zhang Fan was not worried at all, because Zhang Fan understood that Empress Dowager Li was new to Zhang Juzheng and also needed it, and she needed Zhang Juzheng, so Zhang Fan was not worried about Zhang Juzheng at all because of this.

As for what will happen in the future, and how the officials in the DPRK and China will target Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Fan now doesn't want to ask about these things.
