"Southwest victory." Obviously. When Empress Dowager Li just heard these four words. I didn't know what it meant. And. Today's Empress Dowager Li is the same as Zhang Fan. What she cares about most right now. It's also on the southwest side. So when she heard the word "Southwest". Naturally, it pricked up its ears. As for the words "great victory" after that. She had already ignored it. "What the hell is going on in the southwest?"

Empress Dowager Li asked. The three people present all felt a little strange in their hearts. After all, what's going on in the southwest now. Now no one in the court knows. Who knows. And. The people of the court also know. Empress Dowager Li hated the king of Shuduan very much. But. Listen to what Empress Dowager Li just said. It's clear that I'm asking the southwest side. Or what happened to Zhu Xuanqi. But she didn't expect it. This matter has nothing to do with Zhu Xuanqi at all.

"Empress Dowager." saw Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei standing there. There was a strange look on his face. He took the initiative to explain. "It's just above the court. A messenger came to tell him. Southwest victory. It was the governor of Sichuan, Zeng Shengwu, who succeeded in conquering the servants. Now there will be no more servants in the southwest. ”

"That's what happened." After listening to Zhang Fan's explanation. Empress Dowager Li only then understood what had happened. "The mourning family is thinking about things. I saw the three Zhang Aiqing coming over. I thought something big had happened. I was in a hurry. But I didn't hear it clearly. I thought something was going on in the southwest. That's what happened. ”

After listening to Empress Dowager Li's words, there was no need for an explanation. The hearts of the three of them only felt more weird. Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei don't need to mention it. And for Zhang Fan, who knew what the Empress Dowager Li had misheard just now. The weirdness in my heart will naturally not be less.

"But then again...... Empress Dowager Li naturally understood what kind of effect she had just said. But she didn't regret it. After all, she said that on purpose. Her purpose is to let Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei know. She was very, very "concerned" about every move in the southwest. There will be no relaxation at all. "That's a good thing. Back then, when His Majesty was still there. Although the servant didn't make any trouble. But His Majesty has also mentioned it to the mourning family several times. If so, keep it. It's a real scourge. Now that it's gone. It's also a good thing.

"But let's talk about it. The mourning family also knows about this matter. The great contributor to this matter. It's really to be counted on the head of the high arch. If it was last year's high arch. If you don't think too much of yourself. He wouldn't have just said yes to that. And if it weren't for the fact that Gao Gong's status was high enough at that time. Those under his command definitely did not dare to wait for the documents of the imperial court. He dared to do that just by virtue of his high-arched words.

"If you don't. This servant may not be in trouble now. He doesn't mess around. The imperial court had no reason to go into battle. It's a good thing to have them leveled out now. Save it until later, and then find a way if something goes wrong. After all, it's very troublesome. ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said." Present. That's all these three can do.

Speaking of which. Faced with such a causal explanation of Empress Dowager Li. There are no mistakes, though. But it always made the three people who listened feel a little strange in their hearts. Zhang Fan and Zhang Siwei are okay. But especially for Zhang Juzheng. He thought it was very weird.

To know. High arch before leaving. There's a lot going on. And at that time. One mind is holding back and wants to deal with the high arch. It's Feng Bao. Other words. At that time. The contradiction between Feng Bao and Gao Gong is the greatest.

But. This does not mean that there is no problem between Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong. As a matter of fact. The contradiction between Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong. It's not inferior to Feng Bao's. It's just because Zhang Juzheng doesn't like to say more. The two didn't have any huge conflict. But if we talk about the story between Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong. That's really three days and three nights.

Maybe. It was because of those years. They were a pair of good friends. And they are a pair of friends with the same ideals. And it is precisely because of this relationship of theirs. Let their contradictions after the rupture become deeper and deeper. It's irreconcilable. For today's Zhang Juzheng. Say high arch is good. It was definitely the last thing he wanted to hear.

But it's a bit of a thing. Now it is the Empress Dowager Li who said this. And for the words of the Empress Dowager Li. It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Juzheng to oppose it. It is even more impossible to say that it is not right. Now the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li. That's pretty good. For Empress Dowager Li. Zhang Ju is exactly what she must to lead the imperial court. Zhang Juzheng said to the Empress Dowager Li. It's much more important than Feng Baolai's.

And the reverse is true. For Zhang Juzheng. Empress Dowager Li is the biggest support for him to realize his ambitions now. Zhang Juzheng at this time. It is absolutely impossible to do anything that makes Empress Dowager Li absolutely unhappy. Even if it's just a sentence. One word. He would never say that.

Maybe. Empress Dowager Li also recognized this problem. Anyway, that's what she said. I don't mention anything related to the high arch anymore.

"That's right. Mr. Zhang. It seems to be to distinguish the three ministers with the same surname in front of him. Empress Dowager Li specially used this title that was only given to Zhang Juzheng. "The mourners remember. This thing. It seems like last month. Someone has been on the fold. You also reported it to the mourners. It's not that the mourning family doesn't pay attention to it. After all, it's a servant's business. The emperor also gave an explanation. It's just that he didn't wait for the mourners' orders. There was an assassination of the emperor. Until now, the mourning family is about to forget. Unexpectedly. Now there is good news. That's a great thing. Let's talk about it. This time. What the hell is going on. And who should write down this first work? ”

Here, Empress Dowager Li has commanded. So as Zhang Juzheng, who knows this matter best. Naturally, he immediately told her about the story of this matter.

Empress Dowager Li quietly listened to Zhang Juzheng's words. Only then did he speak: "This Zeng Shengwu is also a person who can make decisions on the spot." He did a good job. After all, it's the governor. Without the approval of the imperial court, it also has the right to transfer troops. But this thing. If this is the province, I am afraid. If you have to wait until the court issues a document before you are willing to send troops. When the time comes, I don't know how many people those servants will have to continue to plague. If only he had done so. The mourners must trouble him.

"And this Liu Xian. That's pretty good. If the mourning family is not mistaken. He is also approaching the age of sixty now. Nearly sixtieth year. He can still lead troops to the battle. An army of 140,000 was able to command properly. The servants who were helpless for 180,000 people were wiped out. It is indeed a great achievement. ”

"Not the Queen Mother." Zhang Siwei on the side also spoke in a very emotional tone. Said. Wechen remembered. General Liu was also a general in the fight against the Japanese. The act of defeating the Japanese in Uraguchioka. Although Weichen didn't have the chance to see it. But it's heart-wrenching to listen to. Let alone. When General Liu was serving as the chief soldier in Fujian. General Yu Qi and General Yu have defeated the feat of the Japanese Kou one after another. Now. General Liu is really a treasure sword. I can have such a group of generals. It is really a blessing for the world, the court, and Your Majesty. ”

For Zhang Siwei's last words. Said in that order. If it's a different person. I'm afraid I'm going to be upset. But the Empress Dowager Li didn't. After all, she is not an abuse of power. I don't have such a sensitivity to such things. Or to put it another way. Even if someone said it in a different way. even replaced the word "emperor" with "queen mother". This kind of horse pat is also irrelevant to Empress Dowager Li. The most she could have laughed at was she. There will be no response to that.

Not to mention. What kind of person is Zhang Siwei? She naturally understands it in her heart. If you really want to dwell on something like this that doesn't matter at all. It's just a wasted effort.

"But ......" at this time. Zhang Fan on the side spoke. "Queen Mother. It's not that Weichen poured cold water. Only now. The good news has been delivered. But it's just general news. How, exactly. No one knows yet. Whether this battle is a big win or a pyrrhic victory. What the hell is going on in the war? Now the DPRK and China also know nothing. ”

"Hmm. Zhang Aiqing said the same. Listen to what Zhang Fan said. Empress Dowager Li nodded thoughtfully. Said. "Now the good news has arrived. But what the hell is going on? Everything is not clear. Originally. The battle was won. Naturally, the DPRK and China should have clear rewards and punishments. It stands to reason. Zeng Xingwu and Liu Xian. There are many others who should be rewarded. But now. If the situation is not clear, they will take the liberty of rewarding and punishing. When the time comes, in case there is any problem. As a result, the rewards and punishments were unknown. That's not good. ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said." Zhang Juzheng also nodded and said. It's just that he is a little confused in his heart. "Now it seems. It is still necessary to wait until the Sichuan side reports the detailed battle situation. The DPRK and China are planning to reward again. It's not too late. After all, now the servants have been requisitioned. In the future, there will be a lot less chaos over there. It has been 200 years since the founding of the country. Why bother waiting another month? ”

"Hmm." Nodding. Empress Dowager Li said. "That being the case. That's it. But this thing can be posted. It's also good for people to know. Those who dare to go against the court. It's not going to end well. ”

Listen to what Empress Dowager Li said. The three people present were all helpless. But......

"Wechen understands." That's all they could answer.
