Zhu Qizhen looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang and was a little scared, although he was already the king of a country and the son of heaven, but since he remembered it, although he went to Chang'an Palace many times to visit Aunt Hu, this has not changed, all along, the Empress Dowager Zhang has a feeling of looking at outsiders when she looks at her grandson.

"I don't know what the Empress Dowager called her grandson to, and why even the three masters were called over." Although Zhu Qizhen has been very uncomfortable since he came to the side hall of the dormitory, he still asked his thoughts head-on, and vaguely guessed that it might be related to Wang Zhen in his heart.

After saluting, seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang did not answer his question, Zhu Qizhen naturally stood beside Empress Dowager Zhang.

When Empress Dowager Zhang saw that everyone had arrived, she instructed Wang Zhen: "You go out first, the mourning family has something to say to the emperor and the ministers." ”

Wang Zhen knelt on the ground, hearing this, the sweat on his forehead disappeared a lot, he obeyed the order, walked out of the main hall, and stood outside the dormitory, Wang Zhen's face was cloudy, and the hatred for He Wenyuan's father and son grew in his heart.

In the side hall, the Empress Dowager Zhang sat on the phoenix chair, and Zhu Qizhen stood not far from the Empress Dowager Zhang, with a thoughtful look on her face, so solemn, it seems that the Empress Dowager has a heart of killing for Wang Zhen today, and Wang Zhen's formation of a party before was also caused by her own connivance.

Yang Shiqi was very happy, he was originally angry with Wang Zhen, because since the Xuande Dynasty, the power of the cabinet has become more and more powerful, and the emperor's will can also be dismissed, and every order can only be implemented after the cabinet has proposed, and Wang Zhen's actions have caused the majesty of the cabinet to be damaged, which cannot be tolerated.

The five ministers stood in the east, on the surface they all looked sincerely afraid, but in fact, deep down in their hearts they had already been replaced by joy, Empress Dowager Zhang went through four dynasties and was called a generation of virtuous queens.

Empress Dowager Zhang opened her mouth slightly, recalled the past with the five ministers one by one, and told everyone about her brilliant achievements, and everyone had a word of reward.

After finishing it, the maid brought a cup of ginseng soup, sat on the phoenix chair and tasted it one bite at a time, there was no sound in the side hall, except for the sound of Empress Dowager Zhang drinking ginseng soup, nothing could be heard.

Zhu Qizhen watched Empress Dowager Zhang finish drinking the ginseng soup and looked at him, Zhu Qizhen knew that today's topic was coming.

"Your Majesty! The mourning family came to you today because they missed the precarious days of the first dynasty, how difficult it is for Daming to have today's grand scene! Not easy. ”

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Zhang laughed, paused for a while, suddenly became serious, murderous intent appeared in her eyes, and then said to Zhu Qizhen: "These five people are all loyal and upright ministers used by your father and your grandfather in the first dynasty, you are a young son of heaven, and you are full of spirit, but after all, you don't know the two or three things of the court, and you must discuss with several ministers in every line of national affairs, not something that the five ministers approve of, it must not be done, it must not be done!" ”

After speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Qizhen, her eyes staring at her motionless, although she didn't like this grandson, but after all, she was a blood relative, and she was the son of tomorrow, the king of a country, and she still had some expectations.

Zhu Qizhen knelt on the ground, first kowtowed three times, then straightened his upper body, knelt on the ground and looked at Empress Dowager Zhang and said:

"Empress Dowager, my grandson knows what to do, Empress Dowager Xie taught."

The five ministers next to him, seeing the emperor kneeling, also quickly knelt down, chanting in unison.

"The Empress Dowager is wise!"

"Get up, what are you kneeling down for, your majesty, you are now the king of a country, only others kneel to you, how can you kneel to others, even if I am your grandmother, you are also a king."

Answering "yes", Zhu Qizhen and the five ministers stood up, and then the queen mother's face looked a lot better, recruited a guard to come over, and gave an order, and after a while, I saw Wang Zhen walk in again, kneeling on the ground.

The murderous intent in Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes was not disguised, and Wang Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground, sweated again.

Empress Dowager Zhang's color changed suddenly, and she angrily reprimanded Wang Zhen who was kneeling: "Wang Zhen, you are the companion chosen by the emperor for the emperor, as a eunuch, you have served the emperor inappropriately, and now you should be given a death." ”

Immediately, the female official holding the sword beside the Empress Dowager Zhang stepped forward and put the sword on Wang Zhen's neck.

Wang Zhen hurriedly kowtowed, and while floating up and down, the sword made several marks on Wang Zhen's neck, and blood flowed out. His mouth trembled and begged for mercy: "Spare your life, the Empress Dowager, the slave deserves to die, the slave will die, beg the Empress Dowager to give the slave a chance to make amends..."

Zhu Qizhen can't bear it, now ten years old, in the court, from childhood to adulthood, the most accompanying him is Wang Zhen, the cabinet is very powerful, he only let Wang Zhen interfere in politics, if Wang Zhen dies today, everything will return to the starting point, the power of the Chinese courtiers and the elders of the court will have the strength to control their own imperial power.

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty for Wang Zhen, saying that what crime does not lead to death, there is no merit, and there is hard work. Sanyang and the British Duke Zhang Fu, Shangshu Hu Ying also quickly knelt down to intercede for Wang Zhen, they knew that Empress Dowager Zhang was for the country and for them, they were all kind, but as soon as Wang Zhen died, it was equivalent to pushing them to the opposite side of the emperor, Wang Zhen died today, and there will be Zhang Zhen and Li Zhen tomorrow... and so on, now, Wang Zhen is beaten, at least he will not blatantly interfere in politics, which is also the best.

When Empress Dowager Zhang saw this scene, she thought about it in her heart and understood, so she said:

"The emperor and the ministers intercede for you, and the mourning family will spare you from death. From now on, you must not and must not interfere in the affairs of the state, and if you commit it again, the mourners will take your head, and your life will be left to yourself first, so as to see the aftermath. ”

Wang Zhen kowtowed again, and shouted in his mouth: "Thank the Empress Dowager for not killing." ”

An hour later, Wang Zhen was in his room, after bandaging the wound, he slapped his godson Wang Li's face one after another, and the sound of crackling spread all over the inside and outside, and the two little eunuchs standing outside the door were very frightened.

"Wang Li, my son! Check it out for me, the eighteenth generation of my ancestors also investigated it for me, I want He Wenyuan's father and son to die without a place to be buried, which is even more hateful than Yu Qian's husband. After playing for a while, his mood was much more relaxed, and Wang Zhen instructed Wang in a gloomy manner.

Wang Li endured the pain in his cheeks, bowed, said yes, and walked out of the room.

He Qiaoxin didn't know anything about what happened in the palace, and he didn't know that Wang Zhen, the number one eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, was preparing to deal with him.

In early February, Li Yi was executed in prison and confessed to her illegal acts. At the same time, He Qiaoxin was busy listening to several gold medal editors talking about the reform of Daming Publishing House.

Since its establishment, Daming Times Publishing House has been showing an upward trend in response and word-of-mouth, and its sales have been rising. Several gold medal editors who are familiar with the work content process and the environment of the publishing house believe that the publishing house should refine different departments and responsibilities again, which happens to be consistent with the reform goals of He Qiaoxin and other printing houses after the completion of the printing house.

Therefore, several gold medal editors were convened to discuss the specific plans and measures of the reform. In the office, the two editors were arguing.

"Liu Ming, your plan doesn't make sense, what do you mean that you have to make the Daming Times a business, and find someone to be responsible for it alone." The one who spoke was Hu Ying, a talented student who first followed the Daming Times Publishing House.

Liu Ming, who was sitting opposite, frowned, holding a plan in his hand, which was requested by He Qiaoxin, as a double master's degree in journalism and engineering in the 21st century, He Qiaoxin copied the set of changes he learned.

He Qiaoxin coughed, the office was quiet, and he heard He Qiaoxin say: "I think Liu Ming's idea is good, before the second half of the year, all the printing plants belonging to our publishing house have been established, and after normal production, other newspapers will be launched in the future, and newspapers must also be classified. ”

Hu Ying thought for a moment and said: "Boss, can we integrate other resources, develop paid newspapers for advertising, and make money from merchants?" ”

"You are right, now one of the sections of the "Daming Times" is dedicated to advertising stores with shares, there is no charge, when this section is taken out, there is a place to put advertisements outside these stores, the charge is calculated according to the promotion area, the southeast and northwest of the middle, five printing houses radiation promotion, each additional area, the cost is increased by one percent, don't worry about the people, the people will not run from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital to buy rice for a meal, rich people run all over the country, and it is not so much money."

After He Qiaoxin finished speaking, these gold medal editors cheered up, ten-year-old He Qiaoxin was expressionless, his body was a child, his mental age was not, if he was happy about this, he would have to be used for others, He Qiaoxin knew it.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, in June, five Qiaoxin printing factories were successfully put into operation, He Qiaoxin also put his mind at ease, and the last worry disappeared, at least there is no need to worry about those printing workshops sitting on the ground and raising prices, which will affect the operation of Daming Times.

In the past few months, He Wenyuan has been going home later and later, and the number of dinners has gradually increased.

As soon as he returned to He Mansion with He San from Qiaoxin Printing Factory, He Qiaoxin was going to let people prepare some food to eat, and he was hungry enough after a busy day without touching the ground, when he saw Xu's eldest maid Chunying walking over with anxious steps, saying that Xu wanted to see him.

He Qiaoxin was hungry and came to the room of his mother Xu and his father, and saw that the eldest brother He Zhong and the second brother He Qiaofu were also in the room, walked to Xu's side, hugged his mother Xu and said, "What's the matter, Mom, what happened to call our brothers over?" ”

I heard Xu say, "Your father may have someone outside..."

Saying that, a few tears fell, He Qiaoxin hugged Xu's arms and couldn't help but freeze, he didn't know what to do for a while, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines in the Ming Dynasty, but his mother Xu was obviously a jealous woman, so why didn't he say it? Turning his head to look at the eldest brother and the second brother, he saw that the two brothers neatly gave He Qiaoxin a gesture of spreading their hands, and this action was taught by He Qiaoxin.
