Chapter 601: The Queen Mother Has a Will (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Zhang Yong sent Fang Yingwu to Zuo Shunmen, and he should have said goodbye and left, but he still had many worries in his heart. Although Fang Yingwu gave a promise to introduce Wang Zhishu to him, Wang Gonggong didn't know when he would come back, and how could he protect himself before that?
The people behind Miao Yu are powerful and fully capable of crushing themselves in just a few days! In that case, even if Wang Gonggong returns to the court, it will be too late.
Therefore, Zhang Yong couldn't help but ask: "I don't know whether to ask or not, what can Master Fang teach about the current self-preservation strategy?" The situation in the palace is unpredictable, and I can't grasp it! ”
Fang Yingwu was very surprised: "Isn't it obvious that such a simple thing is obvious? You also have to ask the officer? ”
Zhang Yong was embarrassed by Fang Yingwu's surprised gaze, as if he seemed to be stupid, and he couldn't even think of such a simple solution. But this embarrassment is nothing compared to saving your life: "I still hope that Lord Fang will show you a clear way." ”
Fang Yingwu sighed: "Where does the prince live now? Zhang Yong replied: "As we all know, it is in Renshou Palace. ”
Fang Yingwu asked rhetorically, "Then what else do you have to be depressed?" Why don't you go to Renshou Palace to report the news now? ”
Zhang Yong suddenly came to his senses, and suddenly said, "Thank you Lord Fang for your advice!" ”
is also a bystander Qing authorities, Zhang Yong is always worried that he has offended the people behind Miao Yu, and may also make the Son of Heaven feel unhappy, and at the same time, he will probably have to make friends with other eunuchs in the East Palace, so he is worried about his own life.
But he forgot that although his actions objectively helped Fang Yingwu, it was also equivalent to helping the prince. It is equivalent to putting all the responsibility on Miao Yu, which greatly reduces the prince's fault.
In Renshou Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhou was the protector of the crown prince. I definitely hope that the prince himself is safe and sound, and what he does will definitely be appreciated by the Empress Dowager Zhou! As long as the Empress Dowager Zhou is willing to come forward to take care of things. Then there's nothing to worry about for the time being.
However, Zhang Yong remembered a new question: "Empress Dowager Zhou doesn't like Wan Guifei, and Grandpa Wang came out of Wan Guifei's palace."
Fang Yingwu hated iron and reprimanded: "You think too much!" I call you so. Naturally, I have a reason, but now do you have any other choice? ”
Zhang Yong got the idea, so he hurriedly broke up with Fang Yingwu and went to Renshou Palace to report the news. At the moment, there seems to be no better way but to take one step at a time.
Fang Yingwu walked to Zuoshun Gate, glanced towards the gatehouse, and found that all the speakers were still there, probably waiting for the prince's summons as usual. But looking at today's situation, the prince will not continue to attend classes in the afternoon.
Fang Yingwu stopped. When I was thinking about whether to explain the situation, I saw someone in the concierge waving to me.
Fang Yingwu stared at it carefully, this person was vaguely familiar. After thinking about it again, Fang Yingwu remembered that this person was Qin Chang, the eunuch who played the role of the secretary of the Son of Heaven. I've only seen it once or twice before, so I'm not impressed.
Qin Chang's identity is not simple, he is the direct executor of the contact between the Son of Heaven and the celebrant and the cabinet ministry, and important wills are conveyed by Qin Chang to relevant personnel. Seeing Qin Chang waiting for him, Fang Yingwu relaxed after sending Zhang Yong away. Brought it up again.
Qin Chang stood up, and the other party responded: "The emperor ordered me to come and wait here, and to ask you questions." ”
Fang Yingwu was quite emotional when he heard this, first, he felt that the Son of Heaven was too fucking brainless. Do you have to get something out of his mouth?
The second is that he feels that the Son of Heaven is not completely old and confused, and he knows that he sent Qin Chang to question, not someone like Liang Fang. It can be seen that the Son of Heaven is somewhat sensible. He knew he wanted to hear the original, unbiased paraphrase. You have to send a neutral Qin Chang out, otherwise the words that reach your ears will definitely be distorted.
Therefore, the character of Chenghua Tianzi belongs to me and I know what to do. But I just don't want to be stubborn like that.
The third is to sigh that Qin Chang asked in this place, was it intentional or wrong? Don't you see the changes in the faces of the other people around you?
Truly. At this moment, when the other lecturers in the gatehouse heard Qin Chang's words, they couldn't help but feel a little strange. The Son of Heaven first sent Fang Yingwu to meet the prince, and then sent Qin Chang to wait here for questioning, what else could he ask?
Needless to say, it must have been about asking the prince! In this sensitive period, the treatment of this party should be so embarrassing that even Zaisuke in the cabinet has never heard of being questioned by the Son of Heaven, let alone a group of speakers who can only be regarded as alternate cabinets.
If you know that the superstitious Son of Heaven who believes in gods and Buddhas is because Fang Yingwu has a bit of the meaning of the star monarch descending to earth, so he is curious to summon and inquire, it is estimated that he will spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then shout loudly, "Don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods!" ”
Fang Yingwu knew that he was a little eye-catching now, and couldn't help but say: "How can the kid be able to dare to be inquired about state affairs?" There are many courtiers, and I hope that Your Majesty will choose another virtuous one. ”
Qin Chang didn't care what Fang Yingwu's mood was, and asked directly, "How is the prince?" ”
Sure enough, this question should be answered in a businesslike manner: "There is the appearance of a Ming monarch." ”
Qin Chang glanced at Fang Yingwu and asked, "I often hear people say that the prince has the appearance of a Ming Jun, what is the appearance of a Ming Jun?" ”
Fang Yingwu continued to answer very quickly: "Temperamental, open-minded, courteous corporal, good at accepting advice, and changing when you hear it." But he still complained in his heart and added: In fact, it is a melon with soft ears.
Qin Chang nodded, and was about to say something, when suddenly a small inner eunuch rushed over, ran into the room, and said to everyone: "Renshou Palace has a purpose!" Summoning the celebrant eunuchs, cabinet scholars, East Palace speakers, Fang Yingwu and others to the Wenhua Palace! ”
The speakers, including Qin Chang, didn't know what was going on, and when they heard this will, they looked at each other.
Only Fang Yingwu knew it, and sighed that the news spread so quickly! Probably the Empress Dowager Zhou already knew the news and wanted to deal with this matter in a bright and bright manner.
Speaking of the Queen Mother of Zhou, she was born in a peasant household on the outskirts of Beijing, she didn't study and had no culture, and she had a lot of ridiculous and generous things to say, and in the eyes of the courtiers, she was a very vulgar and rude old woman who loved to be calculating. Coupled with the arrogance of the Zhou family, most of the courtiers did not look down on the Empress Dowager Zhou in their hearts.
But the position of the Empress Dowager Zhou has always been unshakable, from the Yingzong Dynasty to the future Hongzhi Dynasty. It's all because she did two things, the first is to give birth to the Chenghua Son of Heaven, and the second is to protect the current crown prince Zhu Youji.
If it weren't for Empress Dowager Zhou's sincere love for her grandson Zhu Youzhu and strict protection and protection everywhere, I am afraid that Zhu Youzhu would have been assassinated by Concubine Wan Guiji, who covered the sky with one hand. To this day, the prince still lives in Renshou Palace, where the Empress Dowager Zhou lives, instead of officially living in the East Palace independently.
Therefore, although the Empress Dowager Zhou did a lot of bad things, and even caused the first collective knock incident of the Ming Dynasty's ministers, the only two correct things she did were incomparable merits.
Although this old woman is so annoying, she is also the last rich and noble end of the Three Dynasties, and the government is probably like this. (To be continued......)
