Chapter 922: Deliberately making things difficult
The imperial hall, which was still in full swing just now, is now silent, and no one speaks, this situation is really a little weird, and now it is not just silence, in fact, the current hall, the whole is revealing this depressing atmosphere.
In fact, as long as you look at who is in the hall now, you can understand, if it is as in the past, it is Zhu Yijun who is in the court, or even a little further, it is Zhu Zaiyuan who is in the dynasty when he is in power, if there is really any big problem, it will be discussed below, after all, neither Zhu Yijun nor Zhu Zaiyuan will stop them from talking, of course, Zhu Zaiyuan does not want to, Zhu Yijun thinks, but what he says is estimated to be useless.
And now, it is the Empress Dowager Li sitting here, even if she is not sitting on the dragon chair, but she can make no one in this hall dare to speak, not even coughing, of course, the Empress Dowager Li has not said that she has to let these people speak, and even let them speak freely, but if these people present don't understand, then they are really living in vain.
In short, now that the Empress Dowager Li is here, these people are naturally silent, for fear that they will cause some trouble by talking nonsense, of course, if no one speaks in this meeting, it is obvious that today will not end like this, someone has to speak, but the person who spoke first was not chosen randomly, nor did it mean that there were so many people standing below, and whoever wanted to speak would speak.
Now, this is not, since these people have stopped making noise when they see that they are coming, Empress Dowager Li doesn't want to embarrass these people too much, not to mention, she came here today, not just to exert power, there are some things that she wants to do, so now she is looking for someone who can speak, Zhang Juzheng, to explain to her.
Zhang Juzheng, who was named, didn't have any ideas, anyway, he was named by the Empress Dowager Li, and Zhang Juzheng himself didn't need to take any responsibility, not to mention, Zhang Juzheng also understood a little in his heart, even from yesterday to today, he, like other ministers, has always had an idea in his heart, feeling that this matter really has nothing to do with Zhu Xuanqi, the king of Shuduan, but there is still a trace of doubt in his heart, behind the suspicion of this matter, It seems that someone is manipulating this hall now, and now that Empress Dowager Li has asked him to speak, he naturally has to speak.
It's just that Zhang Juzheng himself doesn't actually have any other thoughts about this matter, even if he has some doubts, after all, this matter, no matter what, can only be regarded as the internal affairs of the royal family, even if he is the head of the hundred officials today, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, but the family affairs of other people's families, it is still not his turn to manage, not to mention that it is the royal family, if it is not good, it will be a big mistake.
That is to say, today's Zhang Juzheng is a little cold-eyed, anyway, no matter what this matter is, it can't provoke him, and secondly, if it is really the same as he guessed, then if it is done, it can be regarded as a good thing, but there is a premise, that is, the person who does this thing must do it perfectly, otherwise it will be even more huge trouble at that time.
But now, Zhang Juzheng doesn't know what things are like, and naturally he can't make assumptions, so Zhang Juzheng at this time, when he starts doing things, he is also decent, whether it is talking or what, he is all a middle-school appearance, in short, he can't be offended over there, if things are not like that, at most Zhang Juzheng has done nothing in this matter, but he can't accuse him of anything; If things are really as he guessed, then Zhang Juzheng is doing this, completely showing the appearance of a person who does not know, which will make Empress Dowager Li even more reassured.
"Back to the Queen Mother," Zhang Juzheng at this time, although there was no other expression on his face, but that appearance made people look at it, and it was clear that he was "I don't know anything" and "I am innocent", "When it was just the early dynasty, all the adults were talking about His Majesty's autumn hunt in the field the day before yesterday, but it was assassinated by gangsters, it may be that you are angry about this matter, so when you are excited, you are noisy,"
Zhang Juzheng's words said so much, but he didn't mention the final uproar, because everyone heard that this matter was related to a vassal king of the dynasty, so they went to ask those who knew the matter, it can be said that Zhang Juzheng's words, although they were not complete, but they did not deceive the Empress Dowager Li, and more importantly, his words really did not offend anyone.
"So that's the case," and when Empress Dowager Li heard Zhang Juzheng say this, she immediately made a look of sudden realization, and said, "It turns out that all of you Aiqing, because the emperor was assassinated, are so indignant, so they will be so anxious to talk about it, and there should be anyone in the mourning family who dares to make a loud noise in the court, this is the way to come and see, now that I think about it, it is the mourning family who blames you Aiqing,"
Obviously, the words of the great Empress Dowager Li are counterwords, and she clearly knows that the words of the Empress Dowager Li are satirizing them, but these people can't say anything, so they can only stand in place, except for the few bachelors and monks who were questioned just now, including Zhang Fan, the rest of the people almost all look not very good-looking.
Come to think of it, even if Zhang Juzheng said so, he helped them reveal the embarrassing thing just now, but after all, they did what they did just now, so how can they feel at ease, after all, this is ashamed, but there is shame in their hearts, but now if any of them stand up and say it, it will be impossible, they all feel ashamed, and they have to say the troubles, so why didn't they say it just now, now they all feel a little late.
"No, how can you blame the Queen Mother for this matter," Zhang Juzheng immediately said, "This matter is not right, it is all the ministers, this is above the court, the ministers are courtiers, they should follow the etiquette and education, just now the ministers are making noise here, it is the ministers' fault,"
"Well, what Mr. Zhang said naturally makes sense," Empress Dowager Li nodded, but her face changed, and she continued, "It's just that the news that the mourning family heard just now is a little different, how did you hear that there is chaos in this court, and there are many people around the Qing family who are asking about something, what is going on?"
Hearing Empress Dowager Li say this, almost all the people present were stunned, and this stunned god actually didn't last long, and these people all laughed secretly, but in that smile, it was all bitter laughter and self-deprecation.
Thinking about it, this matter is indeed a little funny, what kind of person is Empress Dowager Li, now she is the supreme ruler of this huge country, even if she is not in name, but she is real, and now the little emperor Zhu Yijun is still young and has not yet married, and Empress Dowager Li is also the owner of the entire palace, and here, this imperial palace, is the palace, what happened in the palace, there is definitely no Empress Dowager Li does not know.
Everyone thought about it, it was obviously what happened under the nose of the Empress Dowager Li, how could she not know it, and thanks to these so-called smart people, they still had that luck mentality in their hearts, trying to get away with it, and now they were pierced by Empress Dowager Li's words, how could they not feel funny, but this funny was completely laughing at themselves.
"Oh," Empress Dowager Li didn't rush to wait for someone to answer her words, but looked at the situation below, raised her eyebrows, and said with an indescribable, even frivolous, voice that shouldn't come from the mouth of a queen mother, "It turns out that this is really the case, just now the mourning family thought it wasn't true, but now looking at the appearance on your Aiqing's face, I think it's true, who will tell the mourning family, what's going on,"
It's like this again, some words that make these people very embarrassed, but no matter how embarrassing they are, these people have nothing else to say now, Empress Dowager Li has already said this, what else do they have to say.
However, is it true that no one dares to stand up and speak, naturally not, some people dare to stand up and speak like this, no, it should not be said that he dares or not, nor does it mean that he has no fear or anything, but some people are born without feeling that this time it has become any trouble.
Let's take it for example now, as soon as Empress Dowager Li's words came out, someone immediately stood up and spoke.
"The Queen Mother, the ministers and others are making a noise because they heard something terrible," a figure stood out, accompanied by the voice.
In an instant, all the people looked at that person, and those ministers were all relieved to see that he stood up and spoke, after all, if he stood up and spoke, Empress Dowager Li would never scold anything, and in this matter, as long as Empress Dowager Li did not scold the first person to speak, she would have no reason to scold others again.
And just when these ministers felt relieved, Empress Dowager Li saw this person who stood up and spoke, but she frowned, just like the ministers below thought, in the face of this person, Empress Dowager Li really has nothing to say, and she has no reason to scold him at all, and even Empress Dowager Li doesn't have any handle on this person in front of her, not because he really hides it well, but because this person is fundamentally upright. I haven't done anything that would have been caught.
This person is the elder of the Three Dynasties, and now he is over seventy years old in the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court, Ge Shouli,
