In fact, to put it bluntly, although there is the assistance of the cabinet, the affairs of the family and the country are ultimately decided by Zhu Houzhao alone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that there are times when Zhu Houzhao is lazy about political affairs, so he delegates power to the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor.

When faced with the choice of national policy, Zhu Houzhao instinctively wanted to choose to escape. But all this was seen through by Xie Shen. In other words, at this time, Zhu Houzhao has been forced into a corner.

How do you decide?

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to bear the infamy of unfilial piety, but he was unwilling to compromise with the temples in Jingxi like this. If Xie Shen can really convince the Queen Mother, it will naturally be the best.

"If the gentleman can really convince the Queen Mother, this matter has never happened."

Finally, Zhu Houzhao was relieved and gave Xie Shen a satisfactory answer.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xie Shen bowed and said, "The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

After saying that, he withdrew.

The Queen Mother is not the biggest problem, the key to the problem is whether Zhu Houzhao can stick to his heart.

If Zhu Houzhao is desperate enough, even if Empress Dowager Zhang speaks, what impact will it have?

Leaving the leopard room, Xie Shen did not directly enter the palace to ask to see the Queen Mother, but turned to the cabinet.

He knew that there would be no good results in meeting the Queen Mother now, so it was better to go to the cabinet to discuss with Li Dongyang and Xie Qian first.

At this moment, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were both in the cabinet room, and they all turned their heads when they saw Xie Shen coming in.

"Siming is here."

Li Dongyang smiled and quipped: "Why do you have a sad face, this is not like you." ”

In Li Dongyang's impression, Xie Shen is the most weightless. Even when he encounters something big, he won't mess up.

What's wrong today, it actually made Xie Jinxiu look sad.

"Xiya Gong won't make fun of me."

Xie Shen smiled and said, "Your Majesty listened to the Queen Mother's words and decided not to clear the fields under the name of the temple for the time being. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Dongyang was very surprised when he heard this. Empress Dowager Zhang's belief in Buddhism and worship of Buddha is known to both the government and the opposition, and there is nothing unusual. But Empress Dowager Zhang is obviously interfering in politics this time.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, which is the ancestral motto of the Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible for Empress Dowager Zhang not to know, but she insisted on interfering in this matter, which is a dangerous signal.

Li Dongyang is more concerned about the meaning behind this incident than the incident itself.

"Xiya Gong, I have already met with Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to allow me to go and persuade the Queen Mother. It seems that His Majesty does not want to express his position until the matter is clear. ”

Li Dongyang was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Does Siming think that the Queen Mother will let go of this matter?" ”

"I don't know, but I'll have to give it a try."

Xie Shen said with a bitter look on his face: "What is the best way for Xiya Gong?" ”

Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "Siming, you listen to the old man, let's give way in this matter." ”

Standing in Li Dongyang's position, he naturally hopes that the inner palace and the outer court will live in harmony.

If it is really because of the introduction of this incident that the Empress Dowager Zhang interferes in politics, the harm is far greater than the incident itself, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Xiya Gong, we can't retreat from this matter. Now there are countless people in the court waiting to see our jokes. If the new deal is shelved like this, those people will rush up and eat us alive. Now it's ready to shoot and have to be sent. Behind him is the abyss, and you can't retreat! ”

Li Dongyang was dumbfounded for a while.

What Xie Shen said made a lot of sense, they really had no way out.

Li Dongyang turned to look at Xie Qian, his eyes full of asking for help.

"Yu Qiao, what do you think about this?"

Xie Qian put down the teacup in his hand and said leisurely: "I agree with what Siming said in this matter. ”

Li Dongyang nodded and said, "But the Queen Mother is really not easy to persuade there." ”

Xie Qian smiled and said, "Brother Xiya, not really. Some things we say are one thing, but Shou Ninghou is another. ”

Li Dongyang's eyes widened and said, "Yu Qiao, what did you say?" Shou Ning Hou? ”

Xie Shen also looked incredible.

Shouning Hou Zhang Heling? Isn't that a pair of sworn enemies with him, asking him to come forward to help persuade the Queen Mother? Xie Qian didn't take the wrong medicine, right?

As if seeing the doubts of the two, Xie Qian smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Brother Xiya and Siming still don't know about this festival between Shouning Hou and the host of Tanzhe Temple, right?" ”

Hearing that there was such a thing, Xie Shen hurriedly said, "Mu Zhaigong, please speak." ”

Xie Qian didn't take care of it, so he told the two of them about it in detail.

Li Dongyang listened, slapped his thigh and said, "Siming, this is indeed an opportunity." ”

Xie Shen's heart is mixed.

Shouning Hou Zhang Heling is definitely an out-and-out bully.

For such people, there is naturally no mercy.

But as Xie Qian said, Zhang Heling can play the biggest role in this matter.

After being silent for a long time, Xie Shen nodded and said, "What Mu Zhai Gong said is reasonable, at this time, it is natural to use all the resources that can be used. ”

After a pause, Xie Shen continued: "However, how can Zhang Heling and the Queen Mother talk about this matter?" ”

Xie Qian stroked his beard and said, "Siming doesn't have to worry. If the old man expected it, Zhang Heling would take the initiative to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother. ”

In Xie Qian's view, now that the new policy is in full swing in Beijing, Zhang Heling is a pig and should know about the imperial court's plan to clear the land in the temples in western Beijing.

For Zhang Heling, he is naturally happy to see this.

But the fact that this matter stalled for no reason indicates that someone is obstructing.

It is very easy to find out who this person is with Zhang Heling's means.

Knowing that the person who obstructed was the Queen Mother, Zhang Heling would definitely go to persuade her.

If there is anyone in this world who can persuade the Queen Mother, it is Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning.

Of course, there are risks involved. That is, Zhang Heling chose to stand by coldly in order to retaliate against Xie Shen.

If so, the situation will be deadlocked.

But with Zhang Heling's mentality, this possibility is very small.

Because there is a way to suppress Xie Shen, and there is no need to rely only on the opportunity of the New Deal.

And if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to teach the host of Tanzhe Temple a hard lesson.

After weighing the pros and cons, I believe that Zhang Heling will also make the most beneficial choice for himself.

"It would be great if it was as Mu Zhai Gong said."

Xie Shen nodded and said, "Then we'll wait and see how it gets better." ”

Li Dongyang coughed and said, "Siming can first ask Qingzhang for the fields under the names of the rest of the temples." After all, the Queen Mother only often goes to Tanzhe Temple to worship the Buddha. ”

"Hmm." This is exactly what Xie Shen thinks in his heart.

"The words of Mu Zhai Gong and Xiya Gong are like enlightenment, which makes a certain person suddenly enlightened."

Xie Shen complimented: "There are still many places to learn from the two bosses, and I hope that the two bosses will be able to teach you in the future." ”
