Yang Chengzu can't rub his shoulders and beat his legs for the queen mother like An Lushi did now, but he can still kneel in front of the queen mother like a son, asking and answering. Today's imperial banquet is likely to be the Queen Mother's hospitality, but at the same time, it must also be Jiajing's signal to himself, telling himself that he doesn't need to panic, and the holy family is still on him.

I haven't seen her for two years, Jiang's body seems to be a little poor, but her aura is much more adequate than at the beginning, like the title of Queen Mother, she can already take it without pressure. When it comes to being the master of Yang Chengzu, it is not a simple kind word, it seems to be the style of the princess when she returned to the Anlu Palace, if you really need it, you can protect this younger person like a righteous son behind you and keep him safe.

Regardless of whether he really needs it or not, this affection still touches Yang Chengzu very much, in addition to the Liu family, the Jiang family can also be regarded as half a mother to him. Of course, the person himself doesn't know much about this, but this love also warms his heart. Replace your feet with your knees, and take two steps forward, with a smile on your face

"The Queen Mother rest assured, the minister is very powerful, the head of the people who killed the widows in the southeast is rolling, and later went to Tuen Mun to fight the Buddha Lang Man, the gang of people who killed...... You think I'm so powerful, how dare the ministers in the court come and provoke me? Besides, everyone knows that I am only the most loyal to Banzai, who dares to frame loyal ministers, and is not afraid of being disposed of by the Queen Mother. So they really didn't dare to hurt me, at most there was a little misunderstanding, the communication was not very smooth, and when we communicated slowly in the future, everyone understood who each other was, and things were easy to do. ”

"You, it's still the same as before. Come forward a little bit, what are you doing so far away from the mourning family. Yang Chengzu didn't dare to get too close, but the Queen Mother had no pressure, called in front of her, stretched out her hand and knocked on his head, just like a mother to a naughty son.

"For you, the mourning family knows you very well, and what those ministers said is not all wrong, such as the matter of the Franco. I heard that there was indeed a team of Franc machine envoys from the Ministry of Rites, saying that they wanted to exchange contracts and lease trenches. Rent it, rent it, just steal it, why do you have to be so formal, you see, get yourself in trouble. The mourning family heard that those Yi people also look like individuals, not three heads and six arms, bloody mouth and fangs, but they are always Yi people. Renting the land of the imperial court and going out, for the ministers, it is like renting out their faces, how can they bear it. Needless to say, they must have given you enough silver, you help the Buddha speak, really, did you promise them, Banzai pretended not to know, you have to make trouble in the capital, let Banzai do? You, fool. ”

"What the Queen Mother said is that the minister's family has a big business, there are so many wives and concubines in the family, this one needs to be dressed, that one needs clothes, and there will be children to raise in the future, so he must accumulate more savings. However, the minister can swear that he has never done anything sorry for His Majesty or the Queen Mother. ”

Jiang Shi nodded, "The mourning family has believed you, no matter who wants to move you, you have to ask the mourning family first, as long as I don't have a breath, no one can bully you." Come, get up and speak, and tell the mourners how you killed the widows in the southeast, and how you fought the Buddha Lang Jiren. It's been almost two years since I've heard you tell me stories, and I haven't heard you sing and play in front of the mourning family, and I always have strange thoughts in my heart. Last year, Banzai let the troupe enter the palace to sing once, but without you, I always feel that I owe something. That's right, there are many rewards, which of these palace people in the palace do you like, I will reward you one and take it home. ”

The palace maid moved a big chair, and Yang Chengzu did not have the restraints of courtiers, but like a son who returned from a trip, he bragged in front of his mother and told about his adventures. Dancing hand in hand, he began to talk about the experience of killing Japanese in the southeast to the naval battle of Tuen Mun. He also knew that these experiences would definitely enter the ears of the Jiajing Emperor in the near future and become His Majesty's understanding of the situation in the southeast.

On the other side of Ciqing Palace, in the Buddhist hall, the Zhang brothers also danced, describing everything that happened in the court to the Empress Dowager Zhang.

"Sister, don't you see how intense the situation was at that time, it is said that more than 30 people came forward and jointly sued, and there is evidence. This kind of momentum is suppressed, even if Banzai is to maintain a balance, or to take care of the dignity of the minister, this person will be done. When my brother-in-law was in power, when he encountered this kind of thing, he must have dealt with people, and the evidence is conclusive. The little thief had the audacity to dare to sell even the country, cut half of the trench to the Franc people, let them open a market there, and set up thirteen lines in Guangzhou, so that foreigners were qualified to be tooth shops. The year before last, the Tianjia said that when he saw the Franc machine, he would fight, and now he would do business with the Franc man, isn't this a deliberate contradiction with Banzai, I thought, this time he will definitely not be better. Long live has already said, to check the accounts, check the accounts, this is a matter of human life, he can't live this time! ”

Zhang Heling was thinking about another thing: "Sister, why don't you poke that thing out?" Even if it's not suitable to say it in the court, it's always okay to say it in the past. He was eating at Jiang's place, and we took someone to arrest him, and then went to Princess Yongshou's mansion to arrest Yongshou and have a face-to-face confrontation. Those slaves and maids, as long as they are tortured, will definitely tell the truth, Princess Stone, this kind of big crime is making trouble, are you afraid that it will not kill his head? ”

Zhang looked at his two brothers, his expression couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and his tone was very calm: "Do you think that the mourning family should arrest people now?" ”

"Exactly. Sister, you can't miss the opportunity, you can't miss it again, and the best opportunity to kill him is in front of you. ”

"On what charge, Princess Stone? Do you think such a crime is appropriate to be pronounced? Now there are still Franc messengers in the capital, do you think that letting these people know that the Yipin Governor of the Ming Dynasty and Princess Yongshou have a personal affair, which is a matter of great face to the royal family? ”

Her tone was stern, and the two brothers didn't dare to say anything more, so they could only listen to her continue to lose her temper, "I know, you don't like this son of heaven now. But whether he likes it or not, he has succeeded to the throne and sat firmly on the dragon chair. The Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the whole world, I don't care what you think in your hearts, what you do in private, in major matters, we must maintain the Son of Heaven and the society of the country! As a minister, this is the minimum duty, if you can't do this, you don't need others to do it, and the mourning family will not let you go. ”

The two didn't dare to say much, but they didn't understand why they bothered to collect the evidence since they had such an attitude. Empress Dowager Zhang obviously understood their thoughts and sighed

"The mourning family didn't collect those things to deal with anyone, but just hoped to get some handles. Then you can have a good talk with Jiang Shi and ask her to agree to Wenfeng and Yongchun's marriage. Everything I do, in the final analysis, is for this matter, and you don't want to spoil my overall situation. ”

Regarding the marriage with the emperor, the Zhang brothers naturally have no opinion, Zhang Sizong lost his life because of this incident, and the two Yu Yongchun and even Yu Jiajing were very dissatisfied. In this marriage, the candidates they launched were perfect, and they couldn't reach an agreement for a long time, in the eyes of these two people, they could only be regarded as Yongchun who didn't know how to lift, and they complained in their hearts.

I don't understand why the Queen Mother regards this marriage as so important, or why she doesn't give full play to the influence of the Queen Mother and directly decree this matter to make it so complicated?

Zhang sighed again, "You guys, you still don't understand the situation, and you still think that the Mourning family is in charge of the Sixth Palace like your brother-in-law was in power?" At the beginning, the old lord was the king, and everyone in the whole country listened to my dispatch, and after Zhao'er ascended the throne, the mourning family's words also counted. But now, in the entire inner palace, the order of the mourning family can't even get out of this square area, and even the Jiang family can't affect it, do you still hope that I can decide to get married Yongchun? The people in the inner palace who are willing to obey my orders are almost all around my room, and they are just old people and slaves left by the old master, and they are willing to recognize me as a surviving person. If you let them take men, should you hold them? Wake up, the sky has changed, at the age of the mourning family, there are still a few years to live, you live well, don't be as willful as in the past, lest in the future, our Zhang family will really be extinct. ”

Her tone was strong, and her emotions fluctuated a little, because she spoke quickly, she couldn't help coughing violently, and the two uncles were also a little conscious until this time, it seemed that the big tree of the Zhang family was not as strong as she imagined.
