0285 Meet the Queen Mother
Zhang Han said: "Fishing is even more impossible! There are fishing villages all over the sea! ”
Wang Xijue said: "Does he want to boil salt and do private salt trading?" ”
Zhang Siwei shook his head directly and said, "This is impossible!" He should know that we're going to keep an eye on his fiefdom, and things like the salt and iron monopoly that he won't touch as long as he's not crazy! ”
As a result, everyone discussed for a long time and did not come up with a reason. After the scribe brought the thick stack of documents, everyone looked through the documents and asked each other questions, but they didn't ask a meridian, and they still couldn't figure out what Liu Haojia was going to do?
After tossing and turning, Zhang Siwei put down the law book and said, "It seems that he can't figure out what he wants to do!" There is no land to grow here, the area is so small, what can he do? And his fiefdom stretched along the coastline, not much wide...... Eh, let's think about it, could it be because he invented cowpox because his credit for inventing cowpox is too great, and His Majesty wants to reward him heavily, by the way, to set an example, but he doesn't want to give practical benefits, so he came up with such a solution? ”
After everyone was silent for a moment, Shen Shixing said with a smile: "There is also such a possibility!" After all, our royal people are a bit petty! ”
His words caused a burst of laughter from everyone, but everyone knew that what he said was indeed a fact. Zhang Juzheng also put down the law book at this time and said with a smile: "Well, it's really possible!" ”
Zhang Siwei followed and said: "We have eliminated all the possibilities that can be ruled out, and we found that he really can't do anything, so there is only this possibility!" It's impossible for a few of us to compare to a young imp! ”
Shen Shixing laughed and said: "We really can't compare in terms of making money!" He's making a lot of money just by making a glass of glass! ”
Everyone laughed again and nodded in agreement. They feel that those here should be the smartest people in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no reason to be fooled by a ghost, so when they feel that they can't see the benefits, they should really be gone.
However, Zhang Juzheng still didn't want to pass this will, so he pondered for a moment and said, "But I think I should also advise Your Majesty!" This is not an example! ”
Zhang Siwei hesitated and said, "But what if Your Majesty is obsessed?" ”
Zhang Juzheng said lightly: "There is also the Queen Mother!" ”
Wang Xijue nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean!" Why don't we wait to enter the palace and meet Your Majesty immediately! ”
Zhang Juzheng said: "It's okay, just use the name of the old man!" ”
Wang Xijue immediately arranged for the scribe to deliver a letter to the palace. The scribes soon left, but everyone began to worry that Emperor Wanli would not go his own way and refuse to summon them.
However, after waiting for a while, news came from the palace that His Majesty was waiting for them in Cining Palace. When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he said to everyone: "This is a good thing! If you have a mother, you can also persuade it! Let's go, let's go to Cining Palace together! ”
Everyone walked out of the duty room and rushed directly to Cining Palace, but the news that all the pavilion elders had entered the palace spread quickly! The speed of transmission is somewhat unbelievable! Before the elders arrived at Cining Palace, the news had already spread outside the palace! All the officials thought that Zhang Juzheng led the elders of the pavilion to persuade Emperor Wanli to take back his fate, so there was a cheerful atmosphere in the yamen of the various ministries!
Zhang Juzheng rushed to Cining Palace with several elders, and there were already people waiting in front of the palace gate. They were taken directly to the main hall, and when they entered the main hall, everyone saw that Empress Dowager Li was sitting there with a serious face, and Emperor Wanli stood with his head bowed to her, as if he was being taught a lesson!
Seeing this scene in front of them, the hearts of Zhang Juzheng and the others were wide! At least with Empress Dowager Li here, you don't have to worry about Emperor Wanli getting into too much trouble!
Everyone stepped forward to pay homage to Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli first, only to hear Empress Dowager Li say: "Let's get up!" At this time, a few people were not in the room, but they ran into the palace. But for the sake of the fiefdom? ”
Zhang Juzheng raised his head and said: "Queen Mother, the ministers are indeed here for the fiefdom!" The Queen Mother must know that this case must not be opened! ”
Zhang Juzheng then briefly described the danger of his courtiers owning fiefs, because he knew that Empress Dowager Li had enough wisdom to understand these things. But he didn't expect Empress Dowager Li to sigh and say: "The mourning family has already asked the Long Live Lord about this matter, let him tell you!" ”
Zhang Juzheng and the others were in their hearts, and they were instantly nervous to the extreme! And Zhang Juzheng even had the idea of changing an emperor at this moment! At the same time there is more desolation! I exhausted my efforts for this empire, but I met an unreliable emperor!
However, Zhang Juzheng still suppressed his anger and turned his gaze to Emperor Wanli to see what reason he could say! And Emperor Wanli could naturally feel the heavy pressure and anger in Zhang Juzheng's eyes, and his body couldn't help but shake slightly! But he immediately disguised the past with the action of putting his hands behind his back!
Then he said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, it was my idea to give Liu Haojia a fief, and I don't plan to change it!" I ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng was already angry to the extreme, and he couldn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers anymore, so he stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, how can the inheritance left by the ancestors be so corrupted!" How do you let the old minister face the ancestors and the ancestors? Your Majesty, the fiefdom strategy is definitely not feasible! ”
Seeing that Zhang Ju was like this, several other pavilion elders also bowed down and said in unison: "Please take back your majesty's life!" ”
Emperor Wanli was taken aback by Zhang Juzheng's bearded appearance! Because at any time in the past, Zhang Juzheng was a light and light wind, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged! It's the first time he's seen this before!
But at the same time, he could also feel the sense of responsibility in Zhang Juzheng's words, which made his dissatisfaction with Zhang Juzheng dissipate a lot! So he stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Juzheng's hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, you must know that I am not the kind of person who doesn't know what is important!" It's just that you're listening to me first and you're admonishing, okay? ”
Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng looked at Emperor Wanli carefully, and saw that his eyes were clear and he didn't look confused, so he took a step back and bowed down and said, "It's the old man who has lost his temper, please show your majesty!" ”
However, Emperor Wanli did not rush to explain to them at this time, but instead instructed the palace people to move a few pavilion elders to embroider the pier and sit down, and then sent everyone out before saying: "Mr. Zhang, a few pavilion elders, you have to believe that I also want my Ming Dynasty to be prosperous, so I will not do foolish things!" I am going to make an attempt to give Liu Haojia a fief this time! ”
Zhang Juzheng and the others glanced at each other, and they didn't quite believe what they heard, but out of respect for the imperial power, they still listened patiently. But Zhang Juzheng said: "Your Majesty, there are some things that can be tried, but some things really can't set a precedent!" ”
