In the past, the emperor who rode a horse and shot and performed martial arts in the leopard room, when he got off the chariot, he already needed the support of several eunuchs, Rao was like this, he was also shaking, and there was a violent cough, and the whole person seemed to fall apart. In Cining Palace, Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Shouning, looked at his sister anxiously, and urged in a low voice, "Sister, I have seen it, Your Majesty's body is not very successful." It's time to make a decision early, and if you keep making decisions, it's too late to regret it. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang's face is also ugly, although there are worries about her only son facing unforeseen circumstances, but more of it, she is still afraid of her family and her future. Zhengde has no children, this is the biggest problem, even if he has a lot of notoriety such as absurdity and astringency, but an undeniable fact is that he has not successfully sown seeds in any woman.

Once he really returns to the west, then the queen mother of the Zhang family does not even have the qualifications to listen to the government, if the successor is a vassal king who is not close to him, then the queen mother of the Zhang family will have no prestige. In the final analysis, the queen of the Ming Dynasty is too weak, and this policy of marrying with small families has led to the lack of power of the descendants, and all the authority and face of the Zhang family are from Zhengde. When the new Son of Heaven is replaced, just an edict will be able to take back everything he has.

Although the current Zhang family does not have much power, but with the identity of the queen mother, she can still speak on many issues. Even if he is a scholar of the Imperial Palace, Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, must respect the opinions of the Queen Mother on some matters.

Especially when the emperor was seriously ill, the attitude of the outer court towards the inner court was more cautious, and now Yang Tinghe made any decision over there, he had to ask the queen mother for advice first.

Of course, this is not because Yang Tinghe really takes her as the queen mother in his eyes, it is nothing more than relying on the majesty of the emperor. When the new monarch is replaced, can he still have the current authority? Looking at the few cabinet notes still at hand, Empress Dowager Zhang didn't dare to imagine that one day, after these things are gone from her, what is the value of her existence in this deep palace?

Maybe at that time, he will be like the concubines he once saw in the cold palace, rotting with the grass and trees, and becoming a pile of dry bones that no one cares about.

Empress Dowager Zhang is not a generous person, and even after entering the palace, she is still domineering and jealous, otherwise it is unlikely that her husband will not even be a concubine. It is obviously unrealistic to expect her to have a benevolent heart, but when it comes to decision, the word is a little too serious.

What should you decide, and what can you decide? After all, the one who is now lying in the Qianqing Palace to recuperate is his only son, what can he do as a mother?

Compared with the Queen Mother of the Deep Palace, Zhang Yanling is obviously more anxious, and the Zhang family's income over the years has been exchanged for the power of Zhengde, the emperor's nephew. Without this nephew, everything the Zhang family has will come to naught in a very short period of time.

"Sister, ah no, the Queen Mother. At this time, it is not the time for children to grow up, and everyone is worried about the body. I also found a few Lang Zhong from the countryside, and those Lang Zhong are all very famous, although they didn't get into the hospital, it doesn't mean that they don't have the means. If you go back and make a decree and let those people take a look, maybe you will really cure the person, or not. But now we have to think about it, what if it doesn't work? We've got to prepare. ”

"Among the Jianghu Lang you are looking for, they are all grass-headed squares, how can they be used casually for Banzai. No matter how you usually behave, the mourning family should not see it, and they can still protect you. No matter how many people outside say bad things about you, I will carry it for you, in this kind of big thing, you give me a little serious, and I can't mess around anymore"

Zhang Yanling accompanied the smiling face, kept apologizing to her sister, and in the end, she still said the key demands of her trip. "Sister, I can't delay it any longer, the body of the heavenly family ...... Sooner rather than later. ”

"Has it come to this? Yang Ge Lao and them have invited the best Lang Zhong to come over, and I know that there are several national players there. The medicine in Beijing is also more complete than the medicine outside, and perhaps, Banzai can recover. I heard that he can sometimes regain his senses, and maybe he can get better, but not necessarily. What you said is too ......."

Empress Dowager Zhang asked hesitantly, no matter how strong she was, in fact, she was still a woman from a small family and did not have much education. She has no foundation, no knowledge, and when it comes to a critical moment, she actually doesn't have many good ideas to think of. just relied on the identity of the queen mother and years of prestige to barely maintain his dignity.

Zhang Yanling took a step forward and said, "Sister, the matter is more serious than you think. You can take a look at Banzai's body, it's really ...... There's nothing to hope for. Prepare early, if it is not right for us, then our Zhang family's life will be sad. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang was silent, and she suddenly found that she seemed to have not seen her son for too long. Since Zhengde came back, he knew that he was seriously ill, but he only sent the palace maid and eunuch to visit him a few times, and he never moved the place. Countless memoirs, slips, and many personal letters, all of which filled her time.

It wasn't until Zhang Yanling reminded her that she realized that if she didn't hurry up and take a look, it would be really possible for the two of them to never see each other again. Are you wrong? This thought came to her mind for a moment, and then she firmly denied it. I haven't done anything wrong, the heavenly family is ruthless, the Queen Mother is not an ordinary woman, ordinary people's children are long, and they shouldn't appear on themselves. I am also for national affairs, and when the old lord is there, I will also be considerate of myself.

"Sister, listen to me. According to the lineage, the closest to the Banzai bloodline is the Anlu Xing Domain. If that little beast is allowed to succeed to the throne, will we still have a good life? Don't forget, Heizong died in Anlu! If they hadn't pushed and shoved and didn't let the heir to the sect still be the master, why would they have harmed his life? The revenge has not been avenged, do you still let him succeed to the throne? Besides, the second brother has done something to his sister, and Xingfan's side may not be the same thing. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang snorted, "Do you still have the face to say?" I couldn't do such a trivial thing, but it turned out to be like this, but fortunately, I didn't hear any complaints from the Xing Domain. Maybe he succeeded to the throne, and he won't do anything to us, anyway, the mourning family is the queen mother. With this status, he didn't dare to be presumptuous. ”

Zhang Yanling said anxiously: "Sister, you can't be confused at this time." Regardless of whether he complains or not, with this festival, how can he be allowed to succeed to the throne? ”

"And what do you mean?"

"The prince of Shu is young and intelligent, and when he was born, the red light was everywhere, and the room was full of incense, and people said that he was rich and rich. The most important thing is that he is still young, and if he succeeds to the throne, he will still be inseparable from the support of the Queen Mother. ”

Does the Queen Mother support it? Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but glance at the fold at hand, and took a deep breath, "The matter of the King of Shu has been recorded by the mourning family." But don't worry about this matter now, let's find a way to heal Banzai's body first. There may be a turnaround, but not necessarily. ”

She looked at the direction of the Taimiao, clasped her hands together and prayed in a low voice, "I am the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of our orphans and widows, lonely and helpless, bless Houzhao's health and health, and all diseases will not be born." ”
