After Empress Xia went through Fang Cai's intimidation, she no longer had arrogance and arrogance, and Yang Chengzu's actions in the southeast caused great damage to the Xia family, including the Xia family's shops and fields, which suffered a lot of losses. What's more, the Miss Xie family, who dedicated herself to saving her father, promised a nephew of the Xia family, and this daughter-in-law who had already been set was finally sold to the teaching department, and the Xia family was naturally disgraced.

In addition, she knew that Liu Wu'er and Yang Chengzu had dealings, and she hated the house and Wu, so she naturally looked down on Liu Wu'er's husband. If it weren't for Zhengde's death and Liu Wu'er's disappearance, she would have already eradicated the man and woman. Now she can't help Yang Chengzu, but it doesn't mean that she will have a good attitude towards him.

This episode, part of it was to see that Yang Chengzu was unpleasant and angry for his family, and the other part was also to have the support of Zhang's mother-in-law, to express his dissatisfaction with Jiajing by scolding the new monarch's favored minister. She is not a wise woman, otherwise she would not be unable to control her husband, and Empress Dowager Zhang's education of this daughter-in-law is also biased towards obedience.

Few mothers-in-law like their daughters-in-law to be too strong, and Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't want Empress Xia to dare to fight against her, so she is usually very strict, and after Jiajing ascended the throne, this kind of discipline is even stricter. Because she has too little power in her hands, she is not very clear about the outside world, and she is also seriously insecure. She only knew that this minister was very powerful, the commander-in-chief factory guard, and now she knew that even the inner court guard was stretched out by him.

There is no effective servant around him, and he relies on the identity of the widow of the first emperor and the protection of the queen mother, but now even the guards around him are dispatched by him, so can this kind of protection still protect himself? As long as he wants, he can destroy himself anytime and anywhere, or send some outlaws to come to him disguised as palace people.

There are countless terrible scenes in her mind, her body is shaking more and more, she is not afraid of death, but she is very afraid of not being innocent, and she is even more afraid that after she dies, she will have a bad reputation such as a filthy palace. For most women in this era, starvation is a big deal, and innocence is far more important than life.

Of course, if someone dares to violate her, there will definitely be a price. But he could send an outlaw to do such a thing, but he couldn't even protect himself. Thinking that every cup of tea she might drink, every bite of food she ate, and every palace person who came to her side in the future could be a trap, she almost fell into madness. As for whether this man is capable of doing all this, the queen is obviously powerless to analyze, or even if she has doubts, she does not dare to gamble with her innocence.

Regardless of decency, royal status and women's reserve, his head was buried in his lap, and he sobbed softly, and he desperately shrunk into a ball, for fear that the other party would see his body and stimulate evil thoughts again. The steadiness on her forehead seemed to her as if a piece of sludge had fallen on her body, and had stained her jade body. If he really wants to ...... Queen Xia didn't dare to think about it anymore, at this time she was not so much a queen as a helpless little woman, just begging this man to raise his noble hand.

Yang Chengzu's tone was still cold, "Niangniang, you look like this, if an outsider comes in, it will be misunderstood, as if the minister bullied you." The minister has always been very polite to Niangniang, it's not good for you to frame Zhongliang like this, right? Get up, wipe away tears, and let's talk slowly. ”

He made a gesture to help, but Queen Xia was frightened but hurriedly stood up against the wall, desperately wiping the tears on her face with her sleeve, "No...... The Metropolitan Governor didn't bully the mourning family, he really didn't. ”

"That's right, you are a virtuous queen, I am a loyal minister, everyone should get along with each other, this is the correct way to get along. Niangniang, although the minister can write some scripts, he is still a martial artist and does not know much about etiquette. If there is a bad sentence, don't take it to heart, let's make things clear, go our own way, won't it be fine? In the future, the people around you, the ministers will arrange it carefully, to ensure that they are honest and obedient people, everyone listens to the mother's words, you just have to rest assured. ”

Queen Xia said about the fire in a trembling voice, she was already asleep at the time, she was called up by the palace people, and she put on her coat and escaped from the house in embarrassment. At that time, the fire was not serious, but Empress Dowager Zhang had few people around her, and the houses in the palace were all old wood, which dried out severely, and she could not cope with this level of fire with her manpower.

"The Queen Mother had instructed at that time to send someone to ask Our Lady Jiang to take refuge, saying that she was sending someone to save her. But Mrs. Zhang said...... said that this is a heavenly fire, which cannot be stopped by manpower, and does not want everyone to interfere. He also said that there were many people there in Our Lady Jiang, and she must have gotten the news early in the morning, and there were not enough people in the palace, so she should take some things first, so as not to be burned by the fire. There are many relics of the emperor in the palace, and the queen mother is difficult to give up, and there is no one there for Our Lady Jiang......"

Queen Xia, who was extremely frightened, used a lot of strength to explain this matter clearly, and then looked at Yang Chengzu tremblingly. Although he is only an experiencer of the incident rather than a decision-maker, after all, Jiang's life and death are now unknown, and it is really difficult to grasp whether Yang Chengzu will be angry with him.

Thinking of the other party's threats and actions, Queen Xia subconsciously hugged her chest tightly, and looked at Yang Chengzu with pleading eyes, "The mourning family really doesn't know about this, Mrs. Zhang is a close confidant of the queen mother, and the queen mother nodded at his words, and the mourning family can't stop it." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, those cronies and eunuchs were called companions, and if they followed for a long time, they were also called old companions, which was not the same as the nouns of later generations. This wife is named Zhang Hua, is the relative of the Empress Dowager Zhang, the Empress Dowager Zhang favors the six palaces, he enters the palace to serve, and is the first eunuch to use around Mrs. Zhang's hand.

He is the elder of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and he is transcendent in the palace, and many of the eunuchs in charge are his godsons or even godsons, and he still has a little face in the palace, and he is also the number one confidant of the Queen Mother in the palace. In the past few years, Jiajing has either expelled or degraded the minions and cronies around the Empress Dowager Zhang, but Zhang Hua has always remained in the same position, and he is still the No. 1 henchman around the Empress Dowager, even Empress Xia is actually a little afraid of him.

Yang Chengzu can also understand that although Zhang Hua did not have the courage to set fire to the Jiang family, but when the fire broke out, he was more vicious than Empress Dowager Zhang's heart. In the past four years, the status of the Jiang family has gradually surpassed that of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the position of authority in the palace has become increasingly heavy. I don't know how much I have grievances on weekdays, but when I find an opportunity, I am bolder.

The people of this era believe in the induction of heaven and man, and when a major natural disaster occurs in the country, it is often blamed on the son of heaven who favored the ministers. Now the number one favored by Chaoli is himself, and he just broke a colt of the Zhang family not long ago, if you count further, this hatred is even more.

If the Jiang family can be burned to death this time, someone must come out and say that it was the Son of Heaven who favored Yu Chen, which caused this heavenly fire. In fact, when the fire broke out, this kind of public opinion had spread in the palace, and the attitude of Empress Xia could illustrate this problem.

In addition to Jiang's family, he can also participate in himself, Jiajing is in a sad mood, maybe he will really move his position, but this eunuch makes one hand push the boat downstream, killing two birds with one stone. Yang Chengzu sneered: "Is that so?" Niangniang, if you cooperate like this as soon as you come up, everyone will have peace of mind, isn't it? Okay, it's not early, let's rest early, the minister will arrange a few palace people to help the mother cover the quilt...... Make the bed. ”

He picked up the book that fell on the ground again and put it in front of Queen Xia, "Take it, don't throw it on the ground, you see, it's all dirty, isn't it?" The things in this book are not to teach people to learn bad, but to help people liberate their nature, and the sage also said that it is also sexual. Niangniang listened to the minister's words, while she was young, chase the wind and catch the moon without mercy. ”
