0778 mother's family
As he spoke, he quietly stuffed the two small notes in his hand to Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli unfolded the note in surprise and looked at it, then he casually put the note on the candle and burned it, and then said, "Let the purple girl come in!"
Zijuan sniffed lightly as soon as he entered the door, because he could clearly smell the smell of burnt paper! However, she was very smart and didn't say anything, and said directly after giving a salute: "Long live Lord, Niangniang has a please!"
Emperor Wanli said, "I wonder if the queen mother has something to do with me?"
Zijuan smiled and said, "The slave doesn't know about this! Hooray, you'll know when you're gone!"
When Emperor Wanli heard this, he got up and let Zhang Jia sort out his clothes, and at the same time said as if talking to himself: "The queen mother will not be called me if there is nothing to do, is there something that can't happen?"
After hearing this, Zijuan hesitated and said with a smile: "It was the old lady and Uncle Guo who came into the palace, maybe they brought some news from outside the palace, especially what happened just today, so Niangniang asked the slave maid to come to find the long-lived master!"
Emperor Wanli nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I have written it down!" Look at the book
Of course, Zijuan knew that Emperor Wanli's answer was speechless, and he should have said, "I know", not "I have written it down"! But Zijuan knew that Emperor Wanli said "write it down", which meant that she had written down the credit for reporting the news!
Although Zijuan is loyal to the Empress Dowager Li, this does not prevent her from contributing to the Long Live Lord! After all, the Queen Mother also has a time to grow old, and Long Live Lord is the only master of the Ming Dynasty!
Then several people soon came to the Empress Dowager Li's bedroom, and as soon as Emperor Wanli entered the door, he saw an old woman and a middle-aged man talking to the Empress Dowager Li with a smile on their faces, and the Empress Dowager Li's face was also a rare and relaxed look! This old woman is Empress Dowager Li's biological mother, Li Wang, and this middle-aged man is Empress Dowager Li's brother Li Wenquan!
As soon as the two of them saw Emperor Wanli appear in front of them, they hurriedly stood up and saluted. But how could Emperor Wanli let them give a gift, he quickly stepped forward to support the old lady and said, "Grandma, uncle, why did it take so long for you to enter the palace!"
The old lady patted Emperor Wanli's hand and said, "I happened to be empty today, thinking that I hadn't seen your queen mother for a long time, so I came in to talk to her!"
Emperor Wanli helped her sit down and said, "Grandma and uncle should also come to the palace often! I am busy with state affairs, and I have less time to spend with my mother, so my grandmother and uncle should spend more time with her!"
Empress Dowager Li was naturally very happy when she saw that Emperor Wanli was very enthusiastic about her mother and brother! Although she is the queen mother, she also wants her children to have a close relationship with her family like ordinary people.
After a few people sat down, they naturally began to do homework, and Emperor Wanli also accompanied them to talk. But what he can be sure of is that there must be something going on with the two of them entering the palace this time! Otherwise, I wouldn't have entered the palace so late. You must know that the palace gate is about to be locked! When the time comes, it is very troublesome to send someone out and then open the lock.
A few people chatted and chatted, and slowly talked about the new things that had happened recently. also quickly talked about today's upfront. Li Wenquan said, "Just when I entered the palace money, I just received the news that Wu Ninghou had made a big deal again!"
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Li frowned and said, "This little monkey has not stopped, and he always makes some trouble! What did he do again?"
Li Wenquan frowned and said worriedly, "Because Wu Ninghou sold low-priced salt without authorization in Shanxi and border towns, it has caused great chaos and panic in the market! This attracted the attention of many readers, and even many people wanted to go to Wu Ninghou to reason, so a group of students ......."
As soon as he said this, Emperor Wanli interrupted him and said, "Uncle, Wu Ninghou has lowered the price of salt, which is a good thing for the people, why do these students still make trouble? If you still have to reason with Wu Ninghou, is it reasonable that the price of salt is high?"
But at this time, Empress Dowager Li said, "Long live Lord, don't talk yet, let your uncle finish the matter."
Emperor Wanli saw that he couldn't stop it, so he had to pick up the teacup and drink tea, and Li Wenquan immediately told the story of the matter, and he especially focused on depicting the scene of Liu Haojia dispatching his family to arrest people! He described it vividly as if he were standing on the sidelines! This is how it turned out
Hearing the words, Empress Dowager Li's heart was full of anger, and her brows were furrowed tightly!
In the end, Li Wenquan sighed and said, "These scholars have indeed done a little too much, but Wu Ninghou has done even better! He shouldn't have taken these scholars into the house and beaten them! I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the court again!"
Emperor Wanli nodded with a serious face, but he didn't think so in his heart! Because although he didn't know the specific situation, he had actually received the news from the outside. The two notes that I stuffed into him just now, one of which said that the old lady and the uncle entered the palace, and kept saying that Wu Ninghou was going to be unlucky. That's why he said directly to Zijuan.
The second note was sent to the palace by Liu Haojia, which only briefly explained the reason for the troubles of the scholars, and informed Emperor Wanli that there might be problems at the court meeting tomorrow, and also wrote a specific sentence with a detailed report later.
So he had a clear idea of what was going on outside! He tolerated Li Wenquan's words because he wanted to hear what he was going to do. And Li Wenquan saw Emperor Wanli's serious face, and thought that he really listened to his words, so he was naturally a little proud!
So he said how dangerous the actual situation was! What is behind which official is behind which scholar, which scholar is whose relatives and so on, and so on, say a lot! It means to tell Emperor Wanli that these officials are only afraid that they will be in trouble tomorrow!
After saying these things, he also said, "I heard that Wu Ninghou has made a lot of moves in Shanxi and border towns, not only cutting the price of salt in half, but also declining! He also meddled in the grain business, which caused the grain price in the border town to drop by two or three percent! It's a good thing, but he acted too harshly, and he annoyed the people behind the salt and grain merchants, and if he is not punished, I am afraid it will cause turmoil in the court!"
Emperor Wanli was really worried about Liu Haojia when he heard this! Because Liu Haojia reported the plan to Emperor Wanli before he started, which focused on the issue of retaliation.
Liu Haojia clearly told him that as long as he made a move, he would face the other party's desperate revenge! Because the people behind them almost include half of the power of the imperial court! In terms of grain, it is a little better, because grain is being planted throughout the Ming Dynasty, so the power of grain merchants is divided by region, and it is relatively scattered.
