Since the dust settled on the Qin case of the Yu family in Shanxi, Emperor Wanli no longer had more contact with the Empress Dowager Li except for the routine visit to Cining Palace in the morning and evening, although the investigation of the Datong case, the Empress Dowager Li nodded.
Except for the repair of the West Garden in Jiajing, and the reconstruction after several fires, there are no too new buildings in Ziji City, and the place where Zheng Guifei lives is just the palace of a nobleman in the previous generation.
As for what the emperor and concubines in the palace are doing, there are no notes from the literati outside, and the rumors in the market are so extravagant and lascivious, but they are just like ordinary rich and noble families, and husbands and wives sit and chat with each other.
Emperor Wanli used to stay in Zheng Guifei's study after dinner, read miscellaneous books, and laugh with Zheng Guifei, which was already a rare relaxation for the emperor who was silent outside.
On the night of May 16, Emperor Wanli did not read those miscellaneous books, but held an excerpt in his hand and read carefully, and the night in Beijing in early summer was already a little hot.
The windows on this side of the dormitory are all open, covered with light gauze, and incense is lit in the corner of the room, although the fragrance is quiet, but it has the effect of repelling insects, and it is specially prepared by the royal supervisor.
Emperor Wanli was there to see the excerpts, Zheng Guifei took a bowl of soup from outside, waved her hand to beat all the people in the room out, and then put the soup on the table, covered it with a gauze cover, and sat quietly on the side.
Concubine Zheng can be called beautiful, but in the palace, she is not the top, and she is far from the realm of stunning heavenly fragrance and the country and the city.
The reason why she can gain a foothold in this palace and favor the harem is that she is smart and clever, good at observing words and feelings, and knows how to advance and retreat, unlike those concubines who like to read poetry and songs, Zheng Guifei likes to read miscellaneous world affairs, so in the harem, she is not only the woman of Emperor Wanli, but also the partner of Emperor Wanli.
Emperor and Guifei, these two names are scary to say, but Wanli is only eighteen years old, and Zheng Guifei is only sixteen years old, young men and women.
Wanli, who was looking at the excerpt, felt the silence in the room, turned his head to look over, and met the gaze of Zheng Guifei, Zheng Guifei smiled, Emperor Wanli threw the excerpt on the bookcase, pinched the corner of his eyebrows with his hand, Zheng Guifei came over obediently and gently rubbed Emperor Wanli's forehead with his hand.
"Mr. Zhang is so sick at home, I feel that the world is immediately troubled, there is a mutiny in Hangzhou, and there is also a disturbance in Ningxia, is it only Mr. Zhang can suppress it, but not a widow."
"Your Majesty, Zhang Ge always took leave six days ago, and sent letters from Xijiang and Ningxia, how can it take half a month to travel, the emperor has thought too much."
Hearing Zheng Guifei's analysis, Emperor Wanli also laughed, shook his head and sighed, leaned back in his chair and whispered: "In the past, the widow hoped that Mr. Zhang would not be there, so that he could do something by himself, but Mr. Zhang was so sick, but the widow felt a little flustered, which was really ridiculous. ”
This is not something that Zheng Guifei can answer, but Zheng Guifei changed the topic and asked: "Your Majesty, what is the longevity of Zhang Gelao's illness, does it matter?" ”
The gloom on Emperor Wanli's face was even heavier, and he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The imperial doctor said that this disease is not good, I'm afraid it ......."
Speaking of this, he paused, straightened up from his seat, and said: "The queen mother also sent someone to ask, Feng Daban and Zhang Banban both said that the widow should come to visit, and the widow will come to ask in a few days." ”
"The emperor respects the teacher, and the people of the world will definitely praise him......"
“…… Zhang Taiyue's body is very strong, how can he say that he fell ill when he was sick? ”
In the house of the celebrant Zhang Cheng, there were only Zhang Cheng and Bangyi, hearing Zhang Cheng's question, Zou Yi bowed down and said: "My son sent someone to inquire about the news from the side of Yu Yuan this afternoon, saying that Zhang Fu worked weekdays to manage government affairs, and when he returned to the inner house, he didn't know moderation, and he often took tiger and wolf medicine to help him. ”
After listening to Zou Yi's statement, Zhang Cheng nodded and said: "Emperor Sejong is refining the pill in Xiyuan, the pill is full of poison, Zhang Taiyue still doesn't know what to eat, and the courtyard said how many days are left?" ”
"It's two months at most, this time it's too fierce, I'm afraid I can't stand it......"
After Zou Yi finished speaking, Zhang Cheng was silent for a while, slapped a few times on the small table on the kang, and said in a deep voice: "What are these ministers of the DPRK and the central government, all the important things in the East Factory are reported to Feng Bao, Jin Yiwei is vague and doesn't say the real thing, is there any news from the Department of Public Security?" ”
Zou Yi pondered for a while, and replied: "The Lang officials of various ministries and the Qingliu Shitaro everywhere are making a mess, saying everything, and they can't get too much news, and several cabinet officials and the six ministers are all closed, for fear of being said." ”
"Li Youzi is walking fast, and the others really stay in the house without moving, and our family won't believe it."
"The righteous father is clever, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Shen Shixing sent someone to Tianjin Wei, and the righteous father also knows that the Qing guest Yang Sichen under his door is in Wang Tongluo, and he has always had correspondence, by the way, when he entered the palace, Lu Wancai sent a message from there, saying that Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, may have gone to the Wuqing Marquis Mansion yesterday."
Hearing the last sentence, Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up, but he frowned and said: "Go or don't go, how can you get a ......?"
Zou Yi replied with a wry smile: "Father-in-law, yesterday Zhang Siwei's family carried out three sedan chairs and went to three places inside and outside the city. ”
Zhang Cheng gently patted the table next to him with his hand, he was silent for a long time without making a sound, Zou Yi stood on the side and waited, Zhang Cheng patted the table as soon as the sound stopped, and said solemnly: "From today on, every day the Department of Public Security will inquire about something, no matter what it is, all copy a copy of the fast horse sent to Tianjin to Wang Tong." ”
"The ...... in the palace and Xungui are all sent over, Wang Tong's vision is extraordinary, maybe I can see things that you and I can't see from this, now Zhang Juzheng is seriously ill, and the palace and the palace are unstable, you will leave the palace early tomorrow morning and Li Wenyuan and Lu Wancai will make it clear that the people and eyeliners of the Public Security Department will all be moved, and the inside and outside are all watched."
Zhang Cheng said solemnly, Zou Yi also solemnly agreed, Zhang Cheng opened his mouth again: "You go and arrange, our family wants to see Di Pu, Hu Qi and Xue Zhanye, and besides, the people who serve the Lord Long Live every day, the people around us, our family will see the list, wait here to take a post, read this post, Lao Feng, who knows the prison, will arrange it for you." ”
In a few sentences, a few orders, Bangyi all wrote down, the governor is responsible for the movement of various places in the palace, the guard, and Kanhe, and it is also the internal supervision yamen that arranges the nobles' actions to follow the attendants and guides, that is to say, the entry and exit actions of everyone in the palace, serving the Wanli Emperor, and the eunuchs who follow in and out are all arranged by this internal supervision yamen.
After the matter was ordered, Zou Yi bowed down and said goodbye and was about to leave, but before opening the door, Zhang Cheng called him and said: "Now in such a dangerous situation, you must remember to take care of yourself." ”
Zou Yi bowed deeply and retreated in silence.

"The Queen Mother, the slave maid asks to see, there is something to say with the Queen Mother, but the consideration is hasty, I don't know if it is feasible or not, if there is something wrong, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive the sin."
Lin, although he moves slowly, he does it meticulously, and others only think that he is serious, but they will not feel that there is anything wrong with his body.
In the morning, Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng were both in Wenyuan Pavilion to accompany the Wanli Emperor to the court, and Zhang Juzheng was seriously ill, Feng Bao's time in the room of the celebrant was greatly increased, and the time to and from the palaces of the nobles was much less.
Empress Dowager Li's face was not very good, and when she heard Lin, "You are also from Yuwangfu, and you know that the mourning family doesn't like this kind of twisting, so you have something to say." ”
"Slave and maid thank the Empress Dowager for her grace, the cabinet assistant Zhang is seriously ill, panicked inside and outside, although there are ancestors and ancestors outside the palace, but Zhang Ge is always a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and now he is seriously ill, it is inevitable that there are young people who have a non-part of the thought, the palace guards, the palace outside the forbidden army, everywhere on duty, each with the Yamen generals leading, although there is a system, there are also orders out of the long, I don't know what to do with the disadvantages, weekdays are fine, if in an emergency, I am afraid that it will not be able to deal with it."
Lin Shulu said very slowly, when she heard that Zhang Juzheng was seriously ill and uneasy inside and outside, Empress Dowager Li's brows furrowed and her face was angry, but when she heard it, she focused on it, Lin: "What the slave wants to say is that the guards, the forbidden army, and all the people with knives inside and outside the palace are all headed by the Empress Dowager, and when everything is stable, then act according to the rules." ”
All the armed forces in the palace are in charge of a few people to prevent the occurrence of a monopoly thing, if you say who is qualified to be in charge of one person, it is only Emperor Wanli, but in today's world, everyone knows that Empress Dowager Li is greater than the emperor, so it is appropriate.
Empress Dowager Li nodded slowly, and said approvingly: "In the end, he is a person from Yuwangfu, and he thinks about the overall situation. ”
In the revitalization building of South Street outside the Imperial City, Zhang Cheng was in the same room with Deng Pu, Hu Qi and Xue Zhanye, Zhang Cheng said solemnly: "Now the situation is unstable, there is no need for our family to say more, you all keep your own duties, keep an eye on it, and besides, the three of you will make a list, you must be the most trustworthy and reliable, and the guards of the Long Live Lord will be changed again." ”
Di Pu and Yan Qi both received orders solemnly, Zhang Cheng turned to Xue Zhanye and said: "No matter how Feng Bao orders it, and no matter where Dongchang wants to stare at, Xue Zhanye, Jingying and Wucheng Terracotta Division, you have to watch it, if there is any trouble, report it immediately!" ”
