When it was almost dark, Wang Tong left the palace, and the relaxed Wanli Emperor slept very deeply, and no one wanted to disturb him, everyone knew that in the past few months, the Wanli Emperor was haggard, and he must have not rested well, the overall situation has been decided, let the emperor rest well, and it will be too late to talk about anything the next day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the light of day is still there, there are no pedestrians, cars and horses on the streets of the city of Jingshi, only the heavily armed brocade guards and the servants of Shuntianfu patrol the streets.

Speaking of which, Wang Tong is also two families now, and most of the family members are settled in the Naturalization City, but there is a Song Chanchan here, which is very convenient.

It has been a few days since Wang Tong returned to Jingshi, but this is the first day of returning home, and he doesn't know how many people are staring at his mansion in Jingshi, so he must be careful.

I haven't seen Song Chanchan for half a year, Song Chanchan is not very old, but she looks a lot haggard, these days she is frightened and worried, and it is really difficult for her to operate this situation in Beijing.

When husband and wife meet each other and preside over the overall situation, Song Chanchan, who pretends to be strong, is also aggrieved, in front of her own man, women are more willing to reflect their weakness, which goes without saying.

At dinner, let the left and right step back, Wang Tong and Song Chanchan said Zhang Cheng's words, hearing this, the spoon in Song Chanchan's hand fell directly to the ground, her face was pale with fright, and she couldn't help but tremble.

"Don't be afraid, our arrangement in Jingshi, except for those who have broken their brains in reading, can't understand it, and those who are a little closer can find clues."

Wang Tong comforted in a low voice, it can be regarded as a review of this plan, Song Chanchan drank back the Yaji who had been cleaned up recently, and drank a sip of soup with trembling hands, before he calmed down, Wang Tong continued: "But this matter is really for Yang Wei and them to do, and the position of the eunuch in Zhangcheng and Zhang Gonggong's master of ceremonies will also be replaced, and Lu Wancai's side will not last long, they are all helping to cover up, so that they can do it without danger." ”

"After all, Master Zhang Cheng is the emperor's companion, he won't say it?"

"No, I don't have Zhang Cheng's help, this position won't be secure, in the same way, Zhang Cheng won't be able to do it long without me outside the palace, everyone relies on each other, this alliance is there, I won't talk about it."

Seeing that Song Chanchan still had a sense of confusion on her face, Wang Tong said with a smile: "Zhang Cheng's words today are clear, when he is older, this position is hoped to be passed on to his righteous son Zou Yi, and when Zou Yi is older, Xiaoliang should also be in turn, and said that I am young, this is to prepare to do it for a long time, not only him and me, but even his disciples and grandchildren have to go on like this, such a long-term thing, not only related to him, but also his party, Zhang Cheng naturally understands the proportions." ”

Speaking of which, Song Chanchan is a little calm, relying on each other, helping each other, the eunuchs of the inner court and the ministers of the outer court form an alliance, this is the truth of long-term wealth and nobility, such a secret is also a bond of mutual connection, it is meaningless to say it, and there is another point, Zhang Cheng is already old, he considers his own power and wealth, and also considers the wealth of the people below him, Zou Yi and Zhao Jinliang, including Cai Nan and Meng Duo, are all people close to Wang Tong, maintaining this relationship is not only good for himself, It is also good for the long-term of the people under you, and this is also one of the reasons for insurance.

Wang Tong and Emperor Wanli are in the same year, the monarchs and ministers are all young, and there are still decades to be rich and prosperous in the future.

However, this matter is really scary, these things that Song Chanchan did in Beijing were actually discovered by Zhang Cheng, and he also covered it up, if it is repeated a little, I am afraid it will be the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family.

After all, it is a success, there is a thrilling past, the young couple has been separated for so long, and they are also newlywed, so these worries are put down.

After the passion, Song Chanchan lay in Wang Tong's arms, and asked a little lazily: "Master, I don't know if there will be a big prison next, Yang Wei's party is probably going to be invited, do you want to make some preparations on the concubine's side." ”

Other couples said some considerate words at this time, but when they talked about official business, Wang Tong didn't feel anything abnormal, but said gloomily: "If you don't do it, you will be fined, and there will not be too many people who dismiss the official." ”

Song Chanchan is still convinced of Wang Tong's judgment, at least the bureau arranged by Wang Tong, and the various arrangements made, the situation of Jingshi is also in his expectation.

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Song Chanchan was a little worried, and said worriedly: "Master, if those officials are still there, wouldn't it be difficult for the master to do it, I'm afraid I will be entangled with the master's side, and after this incident, the master will definitely be the target of everyone!" ”

Wang Tong patted Song Chanchan lightly, looked at the top of the bed, and said in a low voice: "If Your Majesty drives them all away, who will take care of his affairs, who will govern the world for him, and without them, who will check and balance me and Gonggong Zhang." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Tong smiled mockingly and said!

"It's okay to keep those officials, otherwise Your Majesty will reuse me!"

This was vague, but Song Chanchan understood it, and the worries of the night were dispersed in this sentence, the birds were all hidden, the rabbits were dead and the dogs were cooked, but the birds were not exhausted, the rabbits were not dead, and naturally there were no broken things about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

………………

Emperor Wanli slept very soundly, Zhang Cheng couldn't stay up and went to rest first, but Zhao Jinliang was guarding outside and couldn't leave, but this night it was mainly Concubine Zheng who was accompanied by her child.

Concubine Zheng Guifei, who had been frightened for more than two months, was radiant at this time, sitting lightly on the edge of the bed, looking at her son in the cradle and Emperor Wanli snoring softly.

When Concubine Zheng Guifei was just favored, she also thought about the position of the queen, but she was smart and clever, and soon realized that it was impossible, because the queen was selected by the Empress Dowager Cisheng Li for Wanli, and the power of the Empress Dowager Cisheng fluctuated, but in the matter of the inner palace, it was the same.

Later, Concubine Zheng even had to worry about whether her current position would be replaced, because that Concubine Wang Gong gave birth to the first son for Emperor Wanli. And this Concubine Wang Gong's background makes her even more jealous, this Concubine Wang Gong is the palace maid next to the Empress Dowager Cisheng, with this support, the threat is too great.

As for the fact that Emperor Wanli accidentally had a time with this Wang family, after having a son, he was accidentally passed on to the ears of Empress Dowager Li, and then let Emperor Wanli admit that Concubine Zheng Guifei did not believe it.

She has also been in the inner palace for so long, so many women, how could there be such an accident, it may be an accident for Emperor Wanli, but it is definitely not for Empress Dowager Li, it can only be said that Cining Palace has always had such preparations, even if the Wang family did not give birth this time, then next time there may be "accidental" Li, Zhang, and so on.

But now, everything has settled, Empress Dowager Li is out of the palace, and everyone outside is suppressed, and his son has become the prince, although he is still a concubine, but it is not far from becoming a queen.

The queen is the apex of the harem concubines, but Zheng Guifei thinks more than this, the harem is like officialdom, once in this position does not mean that it will always be in this position, the inner palace also has constant rising competitors, want to stabilize their own position, want to make their son the crown prince stable, until he ascends the throne as the emperor, there must be an alliance, there is support, what others do, do what they do.

The example is too easy to think about, how did the Empress Dowager Li do it, isn't it that there is Feng Bao in the palace and Zhang Juzheng outside the palace, it is also God's blessing, for himself, in this situation, there is Zhang Cheng in the palace, and Wang Tong and his faction outside the palace, and these two forces also need someone to help in the harem.

Zheng Guifei would rather break the delivery moment in the palace, rather ignore the equal rate of the monarch and ministers, but also worship Wang Tong through the curtain, and Zheng Guifei also intends to be the steward of the Qianqing Palace, although the steward of the Qianqing Palace is not in the twelve prisons, but the Qianqing Palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven, the most important thing, the status of the steward eunuch of the Qianqing Palace has always been not inferior to the twelve eunuchs, and even higher than those who have no power to the yamen, the candidate Zheng Guifei has already thought about it, although Zhao Jinliang is young, he is close to Zhang Cheng and Wang Tong, and he is loyal to Emperor Wanli, Such a person does not promote anyone.

Zheng Guifei was planning here, but he didn't expect the Wanli Emperor, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, to get up suddenly, the night was quiet, the lights in the room were dim, and the sudden action of the Wanli Emperor scared Zheng Guifei so much that she screamed, even so, it scared the baby in the cradle on the side to cry.

Emperor Wanli put his hand under the pillow, breathing heavily, and when he got used to the darkness and saw Zheng Guifei, he could be considered sober, and said in a muffled voice: "No need to be polite, hurry up and coax the child." ”

Zheng Guifei hurriedly picked up the baby to comfort her, and Emperor Wanli stared at the light next to the bed for a while before raising his voice and saying, "There are people outside!" ”

"If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the slave is here!"

Zhao Jinliang agreed and ran in, Emperor Wanli hesitated, and said ugly: "I want to see Zheng Guoqin now, go and arrange it!" ”

Zhao Jinliang was stunned, and hurriedly ran out again, the gate of the imperial city was closed at night, but there was a way to go out, Zheng Guifei coaxed the child and wanted to ask, but after looking at the compassionate look of Emperor Wanli, he still didn't speak. ……”，……”

"You showed Wang Tong my edict at the time, what was Wang Tong's reaction!"

Zheng Guotai's robe was a little untidy, but he woke up from his sleep and hurried into the palace, this look is not strange, Emperor Wanli asked, Zheng Guotai hesitated, and said: "He first asked His Majesty's safety if there was any hindrance, and then said that he was afraid that he would have to return to his hometown this time, and then ...... Then he hurried to Beijing. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Wanli's nervous expression gradually relaxed, but he yawned again, waved his hand and said, "You stand down, you're tired, and you have to go to sleep again."
