When he saw the angry queen mother, Emperor Wanli's wine suddenly turned into a cold sweat, and his whole person immediately sobered up, and immediately rolled off the bed and knelt on the ground in a proper manner. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now there are two empress dowagers in this palace, one is the empress Chen of Emperor Longqing, who is respected as the empress dowager of Rensheng; The other is the Empress Dowager Li in front of her, although she is only the concubine of Emperor Longqing, but because the current Wanli Emperor is born by her, her mother is a noble son and is respected as the Empress Dowager of Cisheng.

Because she heard that the Son of Heaven had made such a scandal and hurried over, and she was ready to go to bed just now, Empress Dowager Li did not wear any clothes that could reflect the majesty of the Queen Mother, but simply wore a black wide robe, and inside was a close-fitting cotton coat. But dressed like this, it became more and more impressive for her appearance, especially after seeing her son, she was even more angry and panting, which made her chest even more undulating.

This Empress Dowager Li is only thirty-five years old, and she is the most charming time for a woman. But it's a pity that because of her husband's early death, she has become a widow, and she is the largest widow in the world, so it is impossible to find a second spring in this life. And this also made her pay more attention to cultivating Wanli's son, and only wanted to train him into a generation of heroes and emperors, so she was quite strict with Wanli on weekdays.

It is precisely because of the usual prestige that Wanli is so frightened when he sees his angry mother, and at the same time regrets it in his heart, why did he do such a thing in a moment of confusion!

After a long while, Empress Dowager Li finally breathed evenly, and then swept Wanli and the eunuchs behind him one by one, and then asked, "Emperor, why did you put those servants to death?" As he spoke, he searched around, looking as if he was looking for the three eunuchs.

At this moment, other people in the palace did not dare to intervene in the dialogue between the emperor and the queen mother, so they could only give an explanation to the queen mother by Wanli herself. Under the gaze of the Queen Mother, even if Wanli was unwilling and timid, he could only tell what happened, and he didn't dare to say a word. Fortunately, he wasn't too drunk before, but he still remembers what happened clearly.

However, after listening to his words, Empress Dowager Li's expression still looked extremely ugly, and she looked at her son with hatred: "Emperor, you are the king of a country, and you are so drunk and immoral, it really makes the mourning family sad." "It's sad, but in fact, judging from her expression, I'm more afraid of being angry.

At this moment, Wanli has also gotten rid of the panic at the beginning, and when he saw the queen mother say this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart: "Queen Mother, although there is indeed something wrong with the son's behavior, but those slaves and maids are too ignorant, don't you hear that it is difficult to disobey the king's order?" The sons didn't ask them to do anything embarrassing, they just let them drink and sing songs to help the fun, but they always pushed back. In a fit of rage, the sons casually said that they would be put to death. In fact, didn't the sons also hurt their lives? ”

As soon as she said this, Empress Dowager Li's mood, which had calmed down, suddenly surged up again. If Wanli admits her mistake and sees that the matter is not too big, she will not pursue it further, but just reprimand her with a small punishment and a big admonition. But now that she heard that the emperor meant that she was still excusing herself, she felt that the fault was on the three little eunuchs, and she couldn't bear it. At that time, Empress Dowager Li pointed her finger at Wanli and said, "You...... I can't imagine that at this time, you still don't know what is wrong! What is the monarch, that is the example of a country, you are so foolish at a young age as the son of heaven, and you will have it when you grow up. You...... I'm so angry! ”

Seeing that the queen mother was angry, Wanli was quite upset in his heart. But a teenager of his age often has a strong sense of self-esteem, even if he is facing his own queen mother, sometimes he has to insist that he is right, so he continues to complain: "The son just wants to punish a few disobedient little eunuchs, and the queen mother is so angry, this emperor is not doing much!" ”

This is more of a complaint about his current situation. In fact, as he grew older little by little, his awareness of imperial power also increased, and Wanli felt that his emperor was really constrained by others everywhere and was helpless. That's why I had a very happy conversation with Yang Zhen before, and that's why I complained so much about my mother today.

But when these words fell into the ears of Empress Dowager Li, it was serious, and it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which shocked her so much that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. When she reacted, tears were already flowing from her eyes, and her voice was a little higher than before: "Okay, it turns out that the emperor is dissatisfied with the current situation, so you are angry with these little eunuchs." I didn't expect that the mourning family had tried their best to teach you over the years, but they had taught such a thing. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was furious, not only Wanli's expression changed greatly, but the surrounding palace maids also had earthy faces, hula la, kneeling on the ground, and didn't even dare to raise their heads. At this time, if they have a choice, they will only choose that they can become deaf and blind.

The only thing that can be said at this time is Feng Bao. When he saw that the mother and son were so stiff, he also regretted it a little in his heart, and he shouldn't have moved the queen mother here. But now it's too late to say this, so he hurriedly said to Wanli: "Your Majesty, you have lost your words, please apologize to the Queen Mother quickly!" As he spoke, he glanced at the emperor again and again.

If he didn't speak, under the anger of the Queen Mother, Wanli might really show weakness. But recently, he also has a lot of opinions about Feng Baona, and guessed that today's incident was brought by Feng Bao to attract the Queen Mother, so he was even more angry with him, and immediately scolded: "You slave, shut up, when will it be your turn to speak here!" Do you want me to kill you? ”

Feng Bao didn't expect that his kind dissuasion would lead to such a result, and he was stunned for a moment. And the queen mother was even more angry after hearing the emperor's words, at this time she couldn't take into account that there were still so many palace maids around, and pointed at the emperor angrily: "Okay, you really have stiff wings, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of the mourning family." Do you really think that you are the emperor and mourn the family, so you have no choice? ”

Although Wanli was secretly frightened in his heart, he couldn't take too much care of it because he was in a hurry to talk here, and immediately said with a stiff neck: "Erchen is the emperor, this is the last order of his father, who dares to say a word!" ”

Although his mother is not directly mentioned, the meaning is obvious. Empress Dowager Li was completely out of control at this time, and immediately replied: "Emperor, you are really a big mouth, don't you know that there is a section on Huo Guangchuan in the Han book?" ”

"Boom!" The Queen Mother's words exploded in Wanli's ears like a thunderbolt, so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Although he hadn't read the Book of Han much, as the emperor, he still knew Huo Guang, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, very clearly.

Huo Guang, the biggest minister in the Western Han Dynasty, his brother was the great Sima of the Western Regions when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was powerful. He became an official when he was more than ten years old when he was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then went through several dynasties, and by the time of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he had become the general of the Great Sima and had power all over the world.

In the history books, there are a large number of facts written about the various deeds that Huo Guang did when he was in power to prove his extraordinary. But what is really remembered by future generations, especially Emperor Wanli, is his move to abolish the king of Changyi after Emperor Zhao.

Because Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty had no children when he died, Huo Guang, who was the minister of Tuogu, chose Liu He, the king of Changyi, the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at that time, to succeed him as the emperor. I don't want Liu He to be unscrupulous after becoming emperor, and make the entire government into a miasma, but also plotted against Huo Guang.

Therefore, adhering to the principle of striking first to be strong, Huo Guang made a brazen move when the king of Changyi had not gathered enough strength, deposed his emperor, and drove him back to the fiefdom. As a result, Huo Guang was able to be on the same level as Yi Yin, who had also exiled Taijia and left his name in the annals, and was known as Yi Huo in history!

Therefore, when the Queen Mother said the name Huo Guang, the impact on Wanli was particularly great. Moreover, now in the Ming Dynasty, there is also a minister who has almost the same real power as Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty - Zhang Juzheng!

Seeing that her son finally felt afraid, Empress Dowager Li only felt a burst of happiness. But in order to teach her son an unforgettable lesson, she still planned to do enough tricks, so she turned around and rushed to Feng Baodao, who was also kneeling on the ground behind her, but her expression was a little dazed: "Is Zhang Ge Lao on duty tonight?" "Because of the particularity of the status of cabinet ministers, there will always be people left in the duty room of the palace, even Zhang Juzheng, who is Zaifu, is no exception. Of course, this also means that their status is different from that of ordinary ministers.

Because he was reprimanded by Wanli just now, Feng Bao didn't slow down for a while. He couldn't have imagined that this master, who had been watching and serving his big man, would treat him like this, which could be said to be extremely sad and shocked. But the Queen Mother's inquiry, he didn't dare not answer, so he had to reluctantly say: "Back to the Queen Mother, Zhang Ge Lao did stay in the duty room tonight." ”

"That's good......" Empress Dowager Li didn't hesitate too much, and immediately ordered: "You go and bring Elder Zhang Ge here, let him take a good look at this student." ”

"Ah......" Feng Bao was even more surprised when he heard this. But when he saw the queen mother's pretty face that was still full of anger, he didn't dare to disobey. The emperor and the queen mother, he still knows whose words are more authoritative. After a little hesitation, he agreed and hurried away.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was going to move seriously this time, Wanli was really panicked, and quickly admitted her mistake: "Queen Mother, it's the son-in-law who is wrong, and the son-in-law shouldn't say that kind of thing." Please don't alarm Elder Zhang Ge. "If Empress Dowager Li is the person Wanli is most afraid of, then Zhang Juzheng is the person he is second afraid of. Moreover, the topic just now has faintly touched on the matter of abolishing the establishment, wouldn't it be better to call Zhang Juzheng at this time......

Thinking of Wanli here, he only felt like falling into an ice cellar, and he couldn't help but tremble......
