0264 Delighted Empress Dowager Li

Liu Haojia also knew that such a big thing was that Emperor Wanli had to have someone to help him make up his mind, and he could only retreat. However, he still quietly told Zhang Jia and Li Song that they must dissuade Emperor Wanli from acting rashly, and they must communicate with Zhang Juzheng!

Otherwise, it will be a break between the emperor and the civil official clique! And when this situation occurs without the support of the nobles and the army, it is undoubtedly absolutely fatal! Liu Haojia is willing to do things with Emperor Wanli, but he is not willing to die together!

The reason for this is very simple, now is the time when the power of the civil official group is monstrous, if Emperor Wanli wantonly kills the civil officials when he does not have the support of the insiders of the civil official group, it will only trigger a backlash from the civil officials! Once the two sides break up, Liu Haojia can't guarantee that the people in the palace are really so loyal! Maybe Emperor Wanli will die in the harem like Zhu Houzhao at that time! And Liu Haojia, who is regarded by everyone as the first confidant of Emperor Wanli, will definitely accompany him to the funeral!

So Liu Haojia finally emphasized to the two of them: "If the Long Live Lord insists on going his own way, you will say that King Lu is still in the palace and can ascend the throne at any time, so that the Long Live Lord may be able to calm down!" ”

When Emperor Wanli rushed to the Empress Dowager Li's bedroom, Zhang Jia finally caught up. Emperor Wanli knew that Zhang Jia had always been inseparable from him, and it took so long to appear, it must have been something Liu Haojia said. So he directly asked with a cold face: "Did Liu Haojia say something again?" ”

Zhang Jia knew that he was angry when he heard this title, so he didn't dare to hide him, except for the sentence about King Lu, he explained all the rest of the words.

Emperor Wanli stood at the gate of the palace for a long time before he said sullenly: "Let's go, let's enter the palace!" ”

Although the palace maid who had been waiting at the door for a long time didn't know what the two of them were talking about, she knew from the look of Emperor Wanli that this was not the time to make a fool's ass, so she honestly led Emperor Wanli into the Empress Dowager Li's bedroom.

entered the palace, and without waiting for Empress Dowager Li to speak, Emperor Wanli had already arranged for Zhang Jia to drive out all the palace people. And Empress Dowager Li watched silently as her son drove out all the people in her palace.

When only their mother and son were left in the room, Empress Dowager Li said: "Long live Lord, who provoked you today, and lost your temper so much?" Still angry with the people in the mourning palace? ”

Emperor Wanli sat down next to Empress Dowager Li, sighed and said, "Queen Mother, you know that I am not losing my temper!" I really can't find anyone to come up with an idea, and what I have to say is important, so that's all. ”

Empress Dowager Li said softly: "Master Wan doesn't have to worry, these people are all servants of the royal family, how Lord Wan Sui treats them is right!" Now tell me what happened to you? ”

Emperor Wanli raised his head and said, "Queen Mother, have you heard of the Juggernaut Society?" ”

Empress Dowager Li thought for a moment and then shook her head. Emperor Wanli then asked, "Then the queen mother, have you heard of the Plum Blossom Society and the Chrysanthemum Society?" ”

Empress Dowager Li thought for a moment and still shook her head, but she asked: "The two associations that Long Live Lord said sound like they were made up by literati!" Or is there another secret society like the White Lotus Sect? ”

Then Emperor Wanli told him in detail about the cleaning of the inner palace in the past year, and when he finished speaking, his mouth was already dry, and he just cared about holding up the cold tea to moisten his throat!

And the more Empress Dowager Li listened, the more satisfied she became, and the more she listened, the happier she became! Her own son has done such an outstanding thing, and the mother is naturally happy! And the best thing is that as one of the people in charge of the harem, she only vaguely heard some rumors, and she didn't know the specific things. This shows that my son is doing things safely! If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body, it seems that his son is born to be the material of Mingjun!

So Empress Dowager Li smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, and said: "Long live Lord is doing well, and everyone is good at using it!" It's just that the mourners don't know what the juggernaut you are talking about has a direct relationship with this matter? ”

Emperor Wanli put down the teacup and said, "I didn't say the last paragraph just now, I just want you to have a clear understanding!" ”

Then he told him all the circumstances of the Juggernaut Society. After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li's eyebrows were raised, and she immediately said seriously: "This kind of association must not be tolerated!" Long live the Lord must be strictly investigated! ”

Although Emperor Wanli has already said that it is unlikely that this master will rebel, and the purpose of their organization is to clamp down on the emperor and make a small fortune by the way, but this situation is unacceptable to any royal family! Any threat to imperial power must be nipped in the bud! So Empress Dowager Li immediately expressed her attitude directly!

Emperor Wanli was affirmed by the Empress Dowager Li, and his spirit was much better, and he said: "I want to do the same, but now I don't dare!" One of the reasons for this is that I don't know who the head of this Juggernaut is. I'm worried that if I don't die, I will suffer from it! And what makes me feel the most chilling thing is that the person who caught me has obviously explained that the Juggernaut Society is almost a semi-public organization, but no one from me and the queen mother knows, which shows that there are either people in the factory guard who are in the same boat with them, or they are completely blinded! Either way, it makes me feel cold to the extreme! ”

Empress Dowager Li squinted her eyes and said slowly: "It is impossible to be in the same stream, and they will definitely not be deceived!" It can only be said that they may think they are harmless and let them go! But that's not a reason for them to hide the news! As royal servants, it is the emperor's responsibility to deal with what to do, and what they have to do is to report the news in every detail! ”

Emperor Wanli said hatefully: "I think so too! However, Liu Haojia suggested that I should talk to Mr. Zhang first and win his support! Now I wonder if it's necessary to go? After all, he is also a civil official, and maybe even a member of the Juggernaut Society! I can't trust him! And even if it is discussed, will Mr. Zhang be able to support me? I don't think so! ”

Empress Dowager Li asked with concern: "Is Liu Haojia suggesting so?" ”

Emperor Wanli said: "Yes, he suggested so. There are many reasons he put forward, but one of them that makes me feel excited is that he wants the civil officials to fight the civil officials! ”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li leaned back, leaned back in the chair and relaxed, and then said, "You say what Liu Haojia said as it is." ”

Emperor Wanli didn't know why Empress Dowager Li was so solemn, but he still roughly repeated what Liu Haojia persuaded him. As a result, when he finished speaking, he found that Empress Dowager Li had been listening to him with her eyes closed. He knew that he was thinking, so he sat there and slowly drank tea, waiting for Empress Dowager Li to speak.
