Soon after Zhu Yijun learned from Zhang Whale that the holy decree to dispose of Wu Qingbo's family was issued, Empress Dowager Li sent someone to call him over.

Zhu Yijun came to the Empress Dowager Li: "Queen Mother! ”

Empress Dowager Li said: "Do you already know about your grandfather?" ”

Zhu Yijun nodded.

Empress Dowager Li said: "Although he is a relative of the emperor, he can't be punished, but after all, this is related to the majesty of the royal family. ”

Zhu Yijun replied directly: "Queen Mother, it's too late!" ”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li frowned: "What's the matter?" Has the decree been given? ”

Zhu Yijun nodded.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li said: "How did the cabinet deal with it?" ”

"My grandfather was cut down and demoted to the commander of Nanjing Jinyi Weidu, and he took him back to his hometown to live idle. The eldest uncle was sent to Jizhou with the army, and he was pardoned and exiled. ”

Zhu Yijun replied.

Empress Dowager Li immediately stood up with an angry face.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Li laughed again: "After the implementation of this examination method, the approval of the bullet seal is really fast." ”

After Empress Dowager Li said this, she asked sharply: "Who criticized the red?!" ”

Zhang Whale hurriedly knelt down at this time: "Hui Niangniang, it's an old slave." ”

"Why don't you tell your emperor about this first? First ask your emperor what he thinks, and then decide whether he wants to come according to the vote of the cabinet? ”

Empress Dowager Li asked solemnly.

Zhang Whale replied: "Because Niangniang has already issued an edict to the emperor to know to respect the opinions of the cabinet and the celebrant of ceremonies, especially the opinions of Mr. Yuanfu Zhang, so as long as it is the vote of the cabinet, the celebrant will directly approve the red." ”

"You're very obedient!"

Empress Dowager Li laughed angrily and said, "I don't know how to be flexible, this is your emperor's grandfather, and you let his cabinet deal with it so strictly?!" ”

"The Queen Mother is angry! The old slave is willing to accept the sin! ”

Zhang Whale replied in a trembling voice.

Empress Dowager Li didn't make it clear how to deal with Zhang Whale, because she didn't want to lose the reputation of directly interfering in politics, so she just said: "You listen to him Zhang Juzheng more than Feng Bao back then!" ”

At this time, Zhu Yijun asked: "Queen Mother, do you want to withdraw the will and let the cabinet redraft the will." ”

"How can that work! You don't joke, how can the holy decree change day and night, others are still looking down on you, and if you do it again, wouldn't it be even more despised?! ”

After Empress Dowager Li said with a gun and a stick, she said: "What's more, it is good to let your grandfather go back to his hometown, so as not to be used in the capital, or if your uncle goes to the border town to suffer a little, it is also necessary to save being taken by others in the capital, just tell the local officials to take more care of it." ”

Then, Empress Dowager Li sneered again: "The cabinet is really thoughtful, and he, Mr. Zhang, is better at handling state affairs than Huo Guang." ”

Empress Dowager Li said and looked at Zhang Whale again: "There are also your celebrant supervisors!" They are also quite wise, and they are not in power at all, but don't forget where their roots are! ”

"Old slave remember!"

Zhang Whale asked pretending to be afraid.

"I'm tired! Let's all leave. ”

Empress Dowager Li waved her hand as she spoke, and then instructed the people around her: "Prepare some clothes and food to bring to the uncle who is in charge of the army!" ”

Zhu Yijun and Zhang Whale returned to the Qianqing Palace.

In Zhu Yijun's view, Empress Dowager Li has already begun to distrust the celebrant and the cabinet, especially Zhang Juzheng in the cabinet, who compared Zhang Juzheng to Huo Guang.

Zhu Yijun is now waiting for the rift between the two to get bigger and bigger, so that Zhang Juzheng can rely more on himself to reform for himself.

"You go back to the celebrant first."

After Zhu Yijun gave an order to Zhang Whale, he went back to his study first.

Zhu Yijun's study can't come in casually without a call, and because of this, Zhu Yijun put a small box on the desk in the study and locked it with a lock, and the key is only for him.

Zhu Yijun now took advantage of no one to open the box, and took out a small notebook, and wrote Zhu Nanyong's name on the page with the names of Xu Jie, Zhang Siwei and others.

Night.

Zhu Nanyong, the imperial historian who came back from the border town, entered the courtyard of a deep house in Beijing.

After Zhu Nanyong came in, he came to a big man in a scarlet official robe, and arched his hand: "Pavilion Elder." ”

The big man said: "Your Majesty is a benevolent and virtuous monarch, I believe that Zhang Jiangling really believes it, in order to show his fairness, let Zhang Jiangling decide how to deal with Wu Qingbo." However, Zhang Jiangling is Zhang Jiangling in the end, and he is really practicing his sage principles of serving the monarch with Yao Shun and seeking well-being for the welfare of the community, and he doesn't even consider the favor of the Son of Heaven. ”

Zhu Nanyong nodded at this time and said, "But Wu Qingbo was ordered to return to his hometown, so he can't make a fuss about him anymore." ”

"Moreover, the Queen Mother didn't seem to say anything, she just accepted it so lightly, and Your Majesty didn't have any new will."

"Gangneung's power seems to be even greater than we thought! It seems that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty are still not dissatisfied with him, and still trust him very much. ”

"There is a saying that when the moon is full, it will lose, when the water is full, it will overflow, and if you climb high, you will fall heavy, and when a person's power is the greatest, it is the most dangerous time."

"Before Yan Fenyi's downfall, it was also the most powerful time, so big that even the temple dared to hide it. As a result, before the first emperor ascended the throne, he was suddenly replaced by the old gentleman. ”

"Go tell them! The more this time, the more don't be afraid, it's better to make a big fuss, so that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty can see that the foreign dynasties are not all with Zhang Juzheng. ”

The man said.

Zhu Nanyong nodded yes after hearing this.

……

"Sir, the cabinet has handled my grandfather's affairs very well, and it is the best arrangement for him to return to his hometown to stay. But the queen mother originally meant to be a fine, but after hearing that the cabinet had demoted him to his hometown, he accepted it, saying that it was okay. ”

The next day, the Mandarin Hall.

After Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Juzheng, he talked to him about Wu Qingbo and Empress Dowager Li's attitude towards this matter.

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is clear about things, and Your Majesty is unwilling to abolish the public for personal reasons, which is the luck of the community." ”

Zhu Yijun said: "I am also fortunate to have a husband, of course, I am even more fortunate to have two loving and sensible queens." ”

"Biological mother, I must be filial to everything, and my grandmother should be the same; Therefore, I would like to ask Mr., can I know that my mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager, can be rewarded, and if there is a performance, I will be rewarded! ”

"Although there are royal relatives who have committed crimes now, I can't really snub the imperial relatives."

"The Chen family is safe and self-serving, loyal to the country, quite commendable, and the ministers obey the order and ask for the seal."

Zhang Juzheng resolutely responded.

Zhu Yijun nodded.

He asked Zhang Juzheng to take care of the Chen family at this time, naturally to make the Empress Dowager Chen like it, and to avoid that in the future, because of the further deepening of the reform, the Empress Dowager of the two palaces will intervene in his reform by relying on Zhang Juzheng, so that the Empress Dowager of the two palaces will have different feelings due to the different fates of their respective families, and then they can have different perceptions of the new policy, so that they can not unite in the end.

Even, Zhu Yijun can rely on his mother-in-law to suppress his biological mother, after all, his biological mother has a much stronger desire to control power than his mother-in-law.

It's actually better to have two queen mothers than just one.
