Zhang Ju was woken up by Feng Bao in his sleep, and he had just fallen asleep after reviewing the recital for a night. As soon as www.biquge.info he heard that there was a conflict between the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, and Wanli made a mistake first, he didn't care that the weather was cold at the moment, and it was the middle of the night, so he put on a few clothes indiscriminately, and went straight to the harem under the guidance of Feng Bao and other eunuchs.

It stands to reason that even if the Son of Heaven is still young and there are no harem concubines, the ministers who are foreign ministers cannot enter the harem casually, let alone so late at night. But Zhang Juzheng followed Feng Bao without any hesitation, obviously he did not regard himself as an outsider to the emperor, or he had long been accustomed to such abrupt actions.

I walked all the way for a while, and finally came to the door of the Son of Heaven's bedroom. At this time, Zhang Juzheng stopped and motioned for Feng Bao to go in and pass the word. Even if he is in front of the Queen Mother, he still has to observe some etiquette.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Li in the palace was still reprimanding Wanli: "...... What is the difference between you saying that you want to slaughter your close servants at will and the tyrants such as the Gang and the Gang in the history books? How can I, the 200-year-old Jiangshan Sheji, be governed by a person like you? I, the queen mother, have no way to discipline me, how can I be worthy of my ancestors, ancestors and emperors! When it came to the excitement, she even had tears streaming down her face.

Wanli was completely wilted at this time, and he was so frightened by the words of the queen mother just now that she wanted to abolish him that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. So even if what the Queen Mother is saying now is very problematic, isn't saying that he is a curse to the Ming Dynasty to perish? He didn't bother to defend himself. Not to mention that he would not protest that he was only drunk for a moment to lose his proportion, and after all, he did not really kill the three eunuchs, how can it be described as brutal? All he thinks about now is how to be good, how to tell the Queen Mother and the upcoming Master Zhang not to really abolish himself.

But before he could come up with a way, he saw that Feng Bao had rushed back, and after saluting the Queen Mother, he said, "Empress Dowager, Mr. Zhang is already waiting outside the palace gate." ”

In fact, after this venting and reprimand, Empress Dowager Li's anger has disappeared a lot, and it is naturally impossible to really abolish her son as she said. But since Zhang Juzheng had arrived, she couldn't just let people go back, so she nodded and said, "Announce him in." ”

When Zhang Juzheng heard the announcement enter the palace and just bent down to salute, he saw the Queen Mother wipe her tears and said: "Mr. Zhang, the emperor of the mourning family is really getting bigger and less successful, and the mourning family can't control him anymore, only you, the master, come to teach him well." He actually learned to drink at a young age, and he ......" and said that he would start all over again.

On the way here, Zhang Juzheng had already roughly learned about the whole thing from Feng Bao's mouth, and he was naturally a little angry with Wanli. As the master of Emperor Wanli, I watched him grow up since I was a child, so I naturally hoped that he could become a generation of Ming monarchs and holy lords, so as to prosper the Ming Dynasty. At present, Wanli's behavior is so disorderly, which is not only his responsibility as a master, but also makes him very disappointed in Wanli.

But the Queen Mother said it so seriously, and even mentioned what was abolished, and it was naturally not good for him, a courtier, to add fuel to the fire, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "The Queen Mother, please calm your anger, Your Majesty, he is only a temporary Meng Lang, it is the minister's discipline that will make such a mistake, and the Queen Mother will punish the ministers if she wants to punish them." As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down.

When Empress Dowager Li saw that Zhang Juzheng actually knelt down, her face changed, and she hurriedly stepped forward and helped her: "Master Zhang, please hurry up, it's the emperor who made a mistake, how can I blame you." The mourning family just thought about it, if he was really not so successful, the mourning family would abolish him as the queen mother, saving him from harming our Daming country. Although these words were heavy, they were much lighter than the sentence blurted out in anger before, and it was more just to knock Wanli.

But these words were even more terrifying in Wanli's ears than before, making his entire body lying on the ground can't help but shake. Although the Queen Mother spoke in a heavier tone before, after all, there were only two of them, mother and son, but now that there is Zhang Juzheng, a foreign minister, or the first assistant of the court is present and still says so, then he can't help but think that the queen mother really intends to abolish herself.

Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng's words made him feel a little relieved: "The Queen Mother can't!" After all, the Son of Heaven is still young, and it is inevitable that he will make some mistakes. Since the minister is the emperor's teacher, he should teach him well, so that His Majesty can change his ways, and he should not arbitrarily mention such things as abolishing the establishment that shakes the foundation of the country! ”

It seems that it is not enough to persuade the Queen Mother only with these big truths, Zhang Juzheng paused for a moment and continued: "And for the sake of the Queen Mother's own considerations, Your Majesty cannot be abolished, otherwise the position of the Queen Mother is ......" Only a powerful minister like him who is very close to the royal family dares to say it.

Empress Dowager Li was stunned at first, she really didn't expect this layer before, if her son was no longer the emperor, she would not be able to be the queen mother. Then, she glanced at Wanli who was kneeling on the ground, and thought that if she asked her son to understand this, this trick would not be able to intimidate him in the future, so she turned to him and snorted coldly: "Even if he is abolished, the Mourning family can also establish King Lu as the emperor, and he is also the son of the Mourning family and the first emperor." The name of King Lu in her mouth is Zhu Yiyi, who is Wanli's younger brother of the same father and mother, and is five years younger than him.

Zhang Juzheng didn't expect that the Queen Mother's words would become more and more unseemly, and even the successor was prepared, and he suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart. However, judging from his ability to observe words and colors, most of the words of the Queen Mother were just angry words, just to teach the emperor some lessons, and she did not really have any intention of abolishing it. So he continued to persuade with various big and small truths, saying that the emperor was just confused for a while, and he would not dare to commit it again in the future after this lesson; He said that the throne is not child's play, how can it be changed at will......

Under his painstaking persuasion, the Queen Mother finally dissipated her anger, looked at Wanli who was kneeling on the ground and said: "If Master Zhang hadn't interceded for you this time, the mourning family would not have spared you!" Get up. ”

"Thank you!" Wanli finally let go of his worries at this time and wanted to get up. But I don't know if it was because he was too frightened, or because he had been kneeling on the ground for too long, he couldn't get up from the ground for a while. Seeing this, Feng Bao hurriedly stepped forward to support him. I didn't want his hand to touch Wanli just now, and he was vigorously thrown off by Wanli, and then struggled to stand up.

Feng Bao didn't expect the Son of Heaven to treat him like this, and he was stunned for a moment. And this scene fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother, which made her a little angry, which was obviously angry at herself, the queen mother. He snorted coldly: "Master Zhang, although you can not be abolished if you intercede, but he always has to be punished for making such a big mistake, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" The two men present were stunned when they heard her words, this matter is not over yet?

But immediately, Zhang Juzheng thought that this might be a good opportunity to teach the Son of Heaven a profound lesson. In fact, during this period of time, he also had a feeling that Wanli seemed to be more and more assertive, and even always wanted to play against his own Shoufu. If the Son of Heaven is right, he may be able to bear it, but most of the time, the Son of Heaven is only against it for the sake of opposition, which is not good. At this time, Zhang Juzheng thought of using this matter to suppress Wanli's confidence and hone him, so he said: "What the Queen Mother said also has some truth. Even the Son of Heaven, since there is a mistake, he should admit it, and think that he is an example for all surnames. ”

"What does Master Zhang mean?" Empress Dowager Li asked a little puzzled.

"Guilty of your own edict!" Zhang Juzheng gave his opinion without hesitation: "Write today's events in the original edict and announce His Majesty's mistakes to the world!" ”

"Ah......" This time it was the turn of the emperor, mother and son, who were stunned. Why didn't they expect Zhang Juzheng to be so ruthless as soon as he made a move, didn't this make the emperor slap himself?

Zhang Juzheng saw their hesitation, so he continued to explain: "This is to set an example to the subjects of the world, to show that my Ming law is strict, even if the Son of Heaven makes a mistake, he will be punished!" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but be a little moved, and said after groaning: "It's not impossible. ”

Seeing that the two of them were going to help themselves decide to make an edict, Wanli was in a hurry. Originally, he was still very grateful for Zhang Juzheng's willingness to speak for him today, and even regretted his behavior of contradicting the other party a few days ago. But now, gratitude has long been replaced by resentment. What is this? He, a courtier, actually wants to force himself, the emperor, to be the emperor's edict, is he forced the palace?

But in front of the queen mother, Wanli didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he had to say in an urn voice: "Queen mother, the son will not write this kind of thing at all, please spare the son this time, the son knows that he is wrong." ”

The Queen Mother saw her son begging for mercy like this, and felt that such an edict against herself was indeed detrimental to the majesty of the Heavenly Family, so she hesitated a little. But at this time, Zhang Juzheng said: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, this matter can be done by the ministers, and you only need to use Your Majesty's treasure seal." ”

"You ......" Seeing him so insistent, Wanli was really angry and anxious, and at the same time helpless.

And the Queen Mother also saw that Zhang Juzheng's insistence must have a deep meaning, although she didn't know his real intentions, but she thought that it should be for the good of the court and the emperor, so she nodded and said: "Then do what Mr. Zhang wants." There is Mr. Lao Zhang! ”

Wanli's opposition turned into futility again, and in front of him, Zhang Juzheng wrote a sincere and earnest sentence with almost no concealment, and only waited for the next day to be revealed in the cabinet.

This night, after a series of events, Wanli completely lost sleep, in his heart, Zhang Juzheng's image has gradually undergone a huge change, from a tall image like a master and a father, to an existence that seems to pose a great threat to his throne!

ps: This story happened in the sixth year of Wanli in history, and now it is a few years ahead for the sake of the plot, so everyone should think of it as the butterfly effect of Yang Zhen changing history~~~~
