As early as when he was guarding filial piety for Gao Gong, Qin Tai tentatively asked Zou Yuanbiao and Zou Yunbiao about their views on Wanli's new policy. Zou Yuanbiao and Zou Yunbiao are both not right about people, they are not very optimistic about Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, but they have the same opinion on the Wanli New Deal that Zhang Juzheng tried his best to implement. The Ming country is already like a patient with scabies. If you don't get rid of drugs in time and dig up the rotten meat, not only can it not be cured, but the trauma will become bigger and bigger. Wanli's New Deal is like a scalpel, separating rotten meat from good meat, which will not only coincide but also be very painful. But if you don't do this, you can't do it, and if you don't do it, new meat won't grow. Qin Tai saw that Zou Yuanbiao and Zou Yunbiao were sensible people, so he really interacted with their brothers. Zou Yuanbiao hated Zhang Juzheng even more, because Zhang Juzheng was the culprit who caused his teacher Gao Gong to die depressed. Zou Yunbiao told Qin Tai privately that in fact, Zou Yunbiao admired and sympathized with Zhang Juzheng very much. Zhang Juzheng had to do this in some things, and if he changed Zou Yunbiao, he could only do this. Zou Yunbiao told Qin Tai privately that in fact, the idol in Zou Yunbiao's mind was Zhang Juzheng, not Gao Gong. Gao Gong is Zou Yunbiao's great benefactor and his teacher, and the master Zou Yunbiao admires Zhang Juzheng's personality and style of doing things even more. Such a Zou Yunbiao will not target Zhang Juzheng, the purpose of his doing this is to prevent Zhang Juzheng from becoming a misunderstood person. Starting from Zou Yunbiao's heart, he wants his idol Zhang Juzheng to be a perfect person and a person with no shortcomings. It is a mistake for Zhang Juzheng not to worry, and if he does this, Zhang Juzheng will not be a perfect person, so Zou Yunbiao risked great disrespect and begged the little emperor to take back the holy decree of seizing love. Unexpectedly, his approach and intentions were misunderstood by everyone, thinking that he took this opportunity to target Zhang Juzheng and the little emperor.

By the way, Wang Yue didn't care about the books the first two times, but he made it clear at the last time that Ergouzi must bring all the books back. It seems that Wang Yue or Lu Tiaoyang just learned that the key is in Zou Yunbiao's book. In fact, Zou Yunbiao's recital, whether it is the starting point or the intention, is a person's idea, and it is impossible to have a manuscript or related correspondence. It is even more impossible that there is any book to teach Zou Yunbiao to write like this and complain to the little emperor like this. The only explanation is that Zou Yunbiao is worried that one of the books will implicate a certain person. Zou Yunbiao's brother is Zou Yuanbiao, and the teacher is Gao Gong, which everyone knows, and the person Zou Yunbiao wants to protect must be unknown to everyone. Qin Tai guessed that the person Zou Yunbiao wanted to protect was Qin Tai, and Zou Yunbiao didn't want to implicate Qin Tai, who was already very unlucky, because of this matter. Qin Tai gave Zou Yuanbiao his own annotated "Record of Clearing Grievances", and gave Zou Yunbiao a copy of his own memoirs, Zou Yunbiao was worried that this memoir written by Qin Tai himself would be found out and cause trouble for Qin Tai. So he was still thinking about it in a coma, making outsiders think that there was some ulterior secret in the books. It seems that when Zou Yunbiao was carried to Zhang Juzheng, there must have been someone from Lu Tiaoyang by his side, otherwise Lu Tiaoyang would not know this secret. Lu Tiaoyang's people also participated in the planning of the siege of Zhang Juzheng, and it seems that Lu Tiaoyang, the cabinet elder, is also eyeing Zhang Juzheng, the position of the first assistant of the cabinet. I just don't know that Lu Tiaoyang is alone? Or have you already teamed up with Zhang Siwei? According to the general situation, Lu Tiaoyang will not join forces with Zhang Siwei too obviously before he is completely sure, otherwise Lu Tiaoyang will have no way back. However, it is not ruled out that Lu Tiaoyang has been caught by Zhang Siwei, and Lu Tiaoyang has to advance and retreat with Zhang Siwei. No matter what, Lu Tiaoyang has not only been implicated, but is now eager to show his strength and seize the initiative in his own hands.

Qin Tai felt that the situation in the capital was getting more and more chaotic. Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, has gradually lost control of the situation in the capital. A few years ago, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, with the support of Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the seal, almost dominated the world. Don't say it's a hundred civil and military officials, even Zhang Juzheng is in charge of the affairs of the harem.

Huang Jin once told Qin Tai that for this reason, Empress Dowager Chen and some eunuchs who did not deal with Feng Bao had not been around the little emperor. It's just that the little emperor was still young at that time, and everything had to be listened to by Mr. Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li's mother. Now, not only has the little emperor grown up and has his own opinions, but even the Empress Dowager Li has begun to stop taking care of things and is unwilling to support Zhang Juzheng too much. On the surface, it is still Zhang Juzheng, the head of the cabinet, who has the final say, but people like Zhang Siwei and Lu Tiaoyang, who seem to be very obedient, have already taken action in private. Huang Jin told Qin Tai a secret, and Feng Bao, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, was not having a good time. The struggle in the harem is not inferior to the cabinet, and it is even more bizarre and bloody. Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng are the two great eunuchs who are most likely to replace Feng Bao. Zhang Whale was born as a eunuch, and almost all the major decrees of the Wanli Dynasty were announced by him. He himself is a close confidant of the little emperor and the Empress Dowager Li, and he has a good relationship with the Empress Dowager Chen, so he has begun to take over the affairs of Dongchang as early as the end of last year. Now the nominal East Factory is still Feng Bao's final say, but in fact, Zhang Whale has gradually controlled the East Factory, and the East Factory has been divided into two factions, fighting with each other, framing each other, and containing each other.

Zhang Cheng is relatively low-key compared to Zhang Whale, and outsiders don't know much about the origin of this big eunuch. However, in the palace, Zhang Cheng's reputation and status are no worse than Zhang Whale. Zhang Cheng is the personal eunuch of the little emperor, and since Feng Bao became the governor of Dongchang, Zhang Cheng is responsible for all the affairs of the little emperor. Feng Bao is the first companion after the little emperor is born, and Zhang Cheng is the second companion. Feng Bao had left the little emperor's side during the Longqing Emperor's reign and served as the first eunuch of Dongchang and the first eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and began the battle for the throne between him and Meng Chong, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal seal at that time. Just when Feng Bao and Meng Chong were fighting wits and strength, Zhang Cheng had gradually replaced Feng Bao's position in the little emperor's mind. After the little emperor ascended the throne and became the emperor, Feng Bao has been serving by the side of the Empress Dowager Li, and Feng Bao serves the Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Cheng serves the little emperor every time he eats. The little emperor gradually became close to Zhang Cheng and began to alienate Feng Bao, the first person's companion. Because Zhang Cheng is relatively low-key and honest, Feng Bao did not find a handle to deal with Zhang Cheng. Today's Zhang Cheng has become the little emperor's most trusted minion, and the little emperor even said that Zhang Cheng would succeed Feng Bao as the eunuch in charge of the seal in the future.

Zhang Whale controls Dongchang and Zhang Cheng controls the emperor, which is equivalent to one outside and one inside. Feng Bao gradually lost control of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and also lost the trust of the little emperor. Huang Jin was also a person who was well aware of the palace struggle, so he expected that Feng Bao would lose power soon. Once Feng Bao loses power or Zhang Juzheng has an accident, the other one will be upset immediately. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao are grasshoppers on a rope, neither can do without each other, and each also needs the other party to help them.

Huang Jin knew many secrets that outsiders didn't know very well, and he told Qin Tai about the grievances and grievances between the big people in the capital over the years. First of all, there was a contradiction between the empress dowager of the two palaces, Empress Dowager Chen was not only the queen of the first emperor, but also the mother of the little emperor, but she was more indecisive, so she was not as good as Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li relied on herself to give birth to a little emperor, so she had to be strong in everything, and sometimes she crossed the Empress Dowager Chen and made decisions without authorization. Once or twice, the Empress Dowager Chen didn't care, but if there were too much, the Empress Dowager Chen would be unhappy, and the Empress Dowager Chen relied on her identity as the main room to stimulate the Empress Dowager Li, and the Empress Dowager Li was so angry that she almost lost control. Since then, Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen have been at odds with each other, and there are always things happening everywhere that the two sisters are competing. Although the little emperor was born to the Empress Dowager Li, he has been close to the Empress Dowager Chen since he was a child, so he favors the Empress Dowager Chen in some things. Empress Dowager Li wanted to teach this biological son a lesson many times, but she was protected by Empress Dowager Chen, and the little emperor became more and more lawless. Empress Dowager Li was in a hurry to go to Taimiao, Empress Dowager Chen and the little emperor didn't know the purpose of Empress Dowager Li's visit to Taimiao, and Feng Bao immediately told Empress Dowager Chen and the little emperor the purpose. Empress Dowager Li went to Taimiao to cry, indicating that she did not discipline her son, the little emperor, and she wanted to move to abolish the little emperor when she cried. Only then did the little emperor remember that he was suffering from his younger brother King Lu, who was also the son of Empress Dowager Li. Once the little emperor is deposed and King Lu ascends the throne as the emperor, the Empress Dowager Li will still be the empress dowager, and the little emperor will be nothing. The little emperor was so frightened that he didn't dare to get close to Empress Dowager Chen, so he took Feng Bao to Empress Dowager Li to beg for mercy. From then on, the Empress Dowager Li always took out the matter of going to the Taimiao when the little emperor was disobedient to scare the little emperor, and the mother-son relationship between the little emperor and the Empress Dowager Li faded, and she would not be close to her younger brother King Lu.
