Zhang Juzheng was also a little restless, because he had no confidence in his heart. First, Qin Tai is his friend, which is something that everyone knows.

Some people will wonder if Qin Tai's doing this is related to Zhang Juzheng? Even if it wasn't planned by Zhang Juzheng, it should be known to Zhang Juzheng.

What is Zhang Juzheng's intention in doing this? Do you want to overthrow the current cabinet, dare Xu Jie, the head of the cabinet, leave and become the head of the cabinet himself?

Or has he reached a secret agreement with a certain prince, ready to force Emperor Longqing to step down and let the other party be the new emperor?

Or is it to let his friend Qin Tai come out and create momentum for Qin Tai? In fact, Zhang Juzheng really didn't know at all, and the letter he wrote to Qin Tai a few days ago was returned.

Only then did he know that Qin Tai had left his hometown, and Zhang Juzheng was worried about Qin Tai's safety. Zhang Juzheng was not only worried about the safety of Qin Tai and the others, but also worried that Qin Tai would not cause any big trouble.

I didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to come whatever he wanted, and what he was worried about would happen. Qin Tai deserves to be one

The "boss" actually united with Hai Rui

"Fierce donkeys" did this kind of thing together. Zhang Juzheng didn't think of a way, he wanted to persuade Qin Tai and Hai Rui through some people.

I hope that things will not be made big, that something will be well spoken, and that there will be no large-scale joint petitions.

However, Qin Tai asked people to convey to him that Zhang Juzheng couldn't manage this matter, and he couldn't manage it clearly, and only in this way could the imperial court and Emperor Longqing completely turn back and transfer.

Zhang Juzheng also privately investigated the meaning of the hundred officials, and the officials of the six ministries in Beijing were silent and unwilling to make remarks.

was originally loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but the Qingliu who criticized Hai Rui's behavior of having no monarch and no father back then, it was rare to support Qin Tai with a unified voice.

If any of the imperial historians came out to accuse Qin Tai, maybe things would be easier, but now like this, the commander will make things bigger.

If Emperor Longqing did not agree to all the requests of Qin Tai and others, the imperial historian would stand on the side of the common people and force Emperor Longqing to issue an edict of abdication.

In the future, Zhang Juzheng can't imagine it. Zhang Juzheng really scolded Qin Tai in his heart, Qin Tai didn't have any ambitions, and he didn't want to target a certain person, why should he make a big deal about it?

What did this make for the imperial court and Emperor Longqing? Compared with the taciturn minister, the crown prince, who sat on the side and didn't speak, didn't have much to worry about.

Under normal circumstances, the prince has no part to speak on such occasions. As long as Emperor Longqing didn't ask him a question, he didn't have to answer anything.

These days, not only the father, the queen and the mother, but also the people around them are strange. The prince simply ignored it and took the opportunity to take a good rest.

Eight or nine-year-old children in the folk either play around or cause trouble outside, but the prince has to read and read all day long, and there is endless homework.

When he returned to his dormitory, a large group of palace maids and eunuchs had to watch over him again, which made him feel really unhappy.

Especially what happened two years ago, which almost caused him to have no freedom at all. Two years ago, the prince had just been enlightened, and Mr. Zhang Juzheng lectured on the classics, giving lessons to the prince in the morning and going to deal with official business in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Mr. Guo gave a history lesson to the prince, he was a good gentleman, and he left it to the prince to decide whether to attend the class or not.

At the instigation of a reading boy, the prince skipped school every afternoon and came to the imperial garden to play.

The prince became obsessed with climbing trees, and gradually climbed higher and higher. Once when the crown prince was playing, he was seen by Emperor Longqing.

Emperor Longqing shouted from afar

"Who's climbing the tree?" Frightened, the prince fell from the tree. The crown prince not only broke his leg, but was also scolded by his father, Emperor Longqing.

This incident had a great impact, first of all, the prince was a little lame from then on, which affected the glorious image of the prince.

The second is that Mr. Zhang Juzheng was punished and demoted, and Mr. Guo has since left the imperial court. The third companion reading boy was beaten half to death on the spot, if it weren't for the child's father and a big official, the child would definitely die.

Since then, the child has been disabled, and he can no longer have a good future, let alone see the prince.

If something happens to the fourth prince, all the entourage is responsible. Twelve accompanying eunuchs, eight palace maids, and twenty-six guards, a total of forty-six people, were all killed on the spot.

Since then, the prince has become a caged bird, strictly abiding by various rules, and thinking twice about every word and deed.

The crown prince was unwilling to pay attention to these people and things, but his biological mother Li Guifei did not dare to say much. Concubine Li Guifei was originally a close confidant of Emperor Longqing, but she felt that her husband was more and more free of herself.

In the past, Concubine Li Guifei was just a person with no status in a small palace, and the Longqing Emperor, who accompanied King Yu, changed his feelings, and talked and chatted to relieve the sorrows of Emperor Longqing.

Later, Emperor Longqing regarded Li Guifei as his cronies and asked Li Guifei to analyze the situation for herself. Since Li Guifei had a child, Emperor Longqing began to make rules, hoping that Li Guifei would not meddle in anything at every turn.

When the child was born, Emperor Longqing warned Li Guifei more than once that her greatest responsibility was not to be a counselor, but to take care of the child.

Especially after Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, some courtiers who tended to be attached to the flames asked Emperor Longqing to canonize two empresses, so that the crown prince's biological mother Li Guifei was also the queen, and Emperor Longqing was even more jealous of Li Guifei.

Emperor Longqing not only gave Li Guifei the title of concubine, but also began to alienate Li Guifei. Concubine Li Guifei is very beautiful on the surface, her husband Emperor Longqing favors her, and she has a son as the crown prince, and her future position is very stable.

But Concubine Li Guifei didn't think so, a woman who lost her husband, Emperor Longqing, really liked her, would have a very unhappy life.

The son of the crown prince is not close to this sonor, and besides, the prince is not the real emperor, maybe Emperor Longqing will change his mind and set up a new prince.

Fortunately, the two current princes were born to Li Guifei, as long as no new prince is born, it will not shake Li Guifei's status.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Concubine Li Guifei did not approve of the draft, and because of this, she and Emperor Longqing were a little stiff.

At this time, Li Guifei didn't dare to say much, worried that Emperor Longqing would take his anger out on herself, and there was a possibility that she would directly give her death.

As the wife of Emperor Longqing, Concubine Li knew that the emperors of the Zhu family were a little crazy, and they would do anything when they started a fire.

Back then, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi kicked the queen and the child in the queen's womb to death because of a sentence from his wife and queen.

also because Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi didn't like the new queen's mouth, so he allowed the fire to burn the new queen.

It can be seen how strange and cruel the temper of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi is. Although Emperor Longqing was better than his father, Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing, he also liked to torture people.

In King Yu's mansion, there were no less than dozens of palace maids who were tortured to death by King Yu, and Concubine Li Guifei saw with her own eyes how King Yu tortured a palace maid to death.

Since then, Li Guifei has believed a rumor that the Zhu family is sick and their nerves are abnormal. Feng Bao didn't speak because he didn't know the truth of the matter.

He only knew that the imperial court had made a decision to draft and replenish the palace maids, but he didn't know the mystery inside.

He was no longer in the capital during this time, and went to find a miracle doctor Li Shizhen for Emperor Longqing. Li Shizhen was a superb imperial physician when Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was alive.

It's just that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi believed in Taoism and abandoned medicine, so Li Shizhen left the imperial court. Later, Zhang Juzheng found Li Shizhen for Yuwang, hoping to solve Yuwang's infertility.

Li Shizhen lived in Yuwang's Mansion for a few days and designed a treatment plan for Yuwang, which gave Yuwang the current prince.

Feng Bao also met Li Shizhen at this time and fought for Li Shizhen for a period of time. Now that Emperor Longqing is not in good health, Concubine Li Guifei suggested that Feng Bao ask Li Shizhen to see a doctor for Emperor Longqing again.

Emperor Longqing agreed, and asked Feng Bao to personally invite Li Shizhen to come back as a physician on his behalf. Feng Bao is so concerned about this matter, and there is another meaning, which is to hope that Li Shizhen can treat the disability on the crown prince's leg.

The crown prince is not only all the hopes of Feng Bao, but also the future of Feng Bao. Besides, Feng Bao also has a kind of family affection for this child raised by himself, so he is so attentive to things.

Unexpectedly, Li Shizhen didn't find it, and such a big thing happened in the capital. Feng Bao was urgently recalled by Li Guifei to participate in this secret meeting.

Because Feng Bao is cautious and cautious, and he doesn't know the ins and outs of things, Feng Bao won't just talk about it.

This is also what his godfather Lu Fang wants him to remember, and it is the way for the eunuchs to live. Meng Chong didn't dare to say much, for fear that after attracting everyone's attention, Emperor Longqing would directly kill himself or drive him out of the palace.

As a eunuch, since he was purified, he has no family of his own, the palace is their only home, the emperor is their nominal master, and the eunuch is their eldest patriarch.

Once the eunuch is abandoned by the emperor and driven out of the palace, it is actually better to live than to die. No matter how arrogant Meng Chong usually is, he is just a dog by the emperor's side.

Once abandoned by his master, he is nothing. In order to save his life and have a chance to arrange a back road, Meng Chong decided not to speak as much as possible.

As a eunuch, patience is their basic skill, and they can endure anything.

"There is no threshold that eunuchs can't cross. As long as we don't treat ourselves as human beings, all grievances are not grievances. We are royal dogs, gadgets, pets. We are not human beings in the eyes of our masters, and we cannot see ourselves as human beings. In this way, you can live a little longer and live a little happier. This is what the old ancestor Lu Fang said to all his godsons, representing the voice of all the eunuchs.
