Empress Zhang's face was full of comfort, and she even went back to Kunning Palace with a high heart, and immediately asked people to pass her two younger brothers into the palace after she returned.

She didn't feel that this time was different from the past, she used to wash her husband, but this time she was successfully backwashed by her husband, and she still didn't know that she was a victim.

She also felt that her husband had a point...... She wants to pass on the education she has received to her two younger brothers while it is hot, so that they can also receive this spiritual baptism.

"Sister, you're not mistaken, right? For the New Year, let our brothers go to Yongping Mansion? Is that place a place for people? ”

The Zhang brothers were about to make trouble when they heard the news, but this time they were called by their sister, and it was even more like they had found a punching bag.

Empress Zhang said coldly: "What's the matter, I treated you lightly?" I don't want to think about it, what are so many good things in the world? Staying in the Beijing camp, doing evil all day long, and being impeached, that is, because of the relationship between the palace, you can live to this day, otherwise you will not even have scum left. ”

Zhang Yanling said: "Sister, it's not the truth, we are also doing things with all our hearts, who is doing evil?" ”

"Say no more!" Zhang Heling seemed to be very forbearant at this time, and pulled his younger brother.

Obviously, the boss still knows what happened to the East Window.

Empress Zhang tried her best to fight for her younger brother in front of the emperor, but in front of her younger brother, she wanted to take out the panache of being an older sister, and said coldly: "Don't count whether you have done it or not!" Do you have to let Your Majesty spread the evidence out in front of you? How many people have impeached you? Is it one or two? If you mess up like this, Your Majesty will be angry with this palace, thinking that this palace can't teach the two younger brothers well. ”

Zhang Yanling said angrily: "Sister, when did you teach us?" ”

"Bastard!" Empress Zhang scolded, "It is precisely because of your lack of discipline that you ended up today, and you can see it before you enter Beijing, you two can't get on the stage, how many years, have you done a good thing?" ”

"We ......"

"That's it!" Zhang Heling hurriedly interrupted his younger brother's words, looked at Empress Zhang and said, "Queen Mother, do you mean that if you let the two of you go to Yongping Mansion and accompany Cai Guogong to make contributions, you will not be guilty of the past, and you can still ...... Added to the rank of knight, right? ”

"Yes." Empress Zhang glanced at Zhang Heling and said, "If you have merit, one will be promoted to the Duke of Changguo, and the other will be promoted to the Marquis of Jianchang, so you will weigh whether you want to go." ”

Zhang Heling asked, "Then how can it be regarded as meritorious?" ”

Empress Zhang said: "It doesn't matter whether you have merit or not, you have to let someone recognize you." ”

"Who?" Zhang Yanling frowned and asked, "It won't be Zhang Bingkuan, right?" ”

Empress Zhang said sharply: "Still call him by his name? He is not only the prince and the prince, but also the secretary of the military department, and he is also the prince of the country, and he has won battles in the north, which time is not he planning behind his back? If you look at the people who have achieved the credit, which one of them was not brought by him? You've also followed him, so why don't you learn from others? ”

Zhang Yanling was so angry that he stomped his feet and said, "Who wants to learn from him?" Why learn from him? ”

Zhang Heling asked: "Dare to ask the queen's mother, it means that as long as Cai Guogong protects us, we can ...... Jin Jue? ”

"Yes." Empress Zhang said.

Zhang Heling also frowned and said: "This matter is a little strange, when will the title of the court be decided by a courtier?" Even if His Majesty trusts that Cai Guogong again, it can't be like this, right? He said that if he rises, he will rise? Those ministers of the DPRK and China...... Not against it? ”

Empress Zhang said: "Are you quite serious? This palace asks you, what His Majesty would object to when Bingkuan decides? Do you say that those courtiers in the court, is it useful to oppose them? ”

Zhang Heling was immediately relieved and smiled: "It makes sense." That's simple, we just give him a gift, with the queen in charge of us, can he still sell this face? ”

"Humph!" Empress Zhang said disdainfully, "Do you think Your Majesty didn't think of this?" You have to be really good at the military. This palace has already made it clear for you, you don't need to charge into battle, you only need to be at fault, but the march must be done by you personally. This time it's a Jurchen, you won't be a deserter like last time, right? ”

Zhang Heling said with a smile: "It was the second child who was a deserter, not me." ”

Zhang Yanling said: "It's the same for you." What is Liaodong a good place to be? Hit the Jurchen? It's all a bunch of unclothed savages, and I just don't want to fight them. ”

Zhang Heling hurriedly added: "The Jurchens are just a group of uncivilized savages, although the queen mother can rest assured, our brothers will definitely be able to make some achievements." You can't beat the Mongol Tatars, it's not easy to fight the Jurchens? Besides...... Hey. ”

If he didn't finish speaking, he asked his sister and brother to guess.

Zhang Yanling said disdainfully: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, you still think that Zhang Bingkuan is a good person, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, he didn't dig a pit and bury us." ”

Zhang Heling scolded: "Second child, you are muddy, don't you want to think, when did Cai Guogong bury you?" As long as you don't fight! ”

Empress Zhang said: "Anyway, this palace has made a package ticket at His Majesty's place, saying that you will not disappoint this time, so I will give you this opportunity." It's for you to make up for it, if you can't grasp it this time...... After returning to Beijing, don't say that you don't even have any errands! ”

"I know, I know......" Zhang Heling seemed to be looking forward to this.

Although Zhang Yanling on the side did not object, he looked at Zhang Heling with awkward eyes, as if to say, you have a sick brain, right? Does this still think that Zhang Bingkuan is a good person?

……

……

Because the Zhang brothers want to follow Zhang Zhou to do things, Queen Zhang's vigilance against Zhang Zhou is naturally lowered a lot.

But then Chen Kuan came over to report to her that it was about Zhang Zhou.

“…… The slave asked Li Zhang to take someone to check the daughter of the Ning family, and the prescriptions used were indeed unverified, and none of the medicinal diets used had ever been taken, and some were directly presented to the mother for you to take. ”

"On the Queen Mother's side, her condition has not improved, or it may be related to her poor medication. Concubine Xian had also looked for her before...... Seems to ......"

Empress Zhang originally wanted to give Zhang Zhou face, and she didn't plan to deal with a little person like Ning Tong.

But hearing this, an anger rose in her heart and said, "What? ”

Chen Kuan said: "It was reported by Li Zhang, saying that the daughter of the Ning family was just the daughter of a magistrate from a military family, and she had no experience in studying medicine, and what she learned was only the surface of medical skills, and even under the guise of treating nobles in the palace, she diagnosed and treated patients among the people, and she had an accident because of this." ”

"In addition, she seems to have given Concubine Xian a lot of medicines behind her back, all of which have not been reported, and there are a few medicines, which are judged by Imperial Doctor Liu and others from the Tai Hospital, which are in conflict with the prescriptions used by the queen usually, or will damage the queen's phoenix body."

When Empress Zhang heard this, she slapped the table directly and said, "Is she looking for death?" ”

Chen Kuan said: "The slave doesn't know, but this is just a rumor, or someone should be found to investigate." ”

Empress Zhang said: "Then let Li Zhang ask who instructed it!" ”

Obviously, in Queen Zhang's mind, she didn't treat Ning Tong as a good person, and directly asked "who instigated it", obviously to deduct the basin on Concubine Xian, and she disdained to rectify a small person like Ning Tong, after all, it was not about competing for favor and other things.

But then Chen Kuan said something that made her break her defense: "...... When His Majesty left the palace in the past, he had met with the Ning family, and even had a solitary time. ”

"What?"

This time, Queen Zhang was not angry, but frightened.

If the next person to enter the palace to compete with her for favor is Ning Tong, she feels that her enemy is too strong, Zhu Feng's ex-wife is still a little connected with Zhang Zhou, and she is in the same group as Concubine Xian...... It can also treat people, and even get the appreciation of the Empress Dowager Zhou...... How can such a woman stay?

"Ask." Empress Zhang said.

Chen Kuan asked, "Do you want Li Zhang to go?" ”

"Who else is not him? Before there is a result, don't let Your Majesty know, this palace is to find evidence of her murder of the palace people, and let Your Majesty know how much evil this group of people harbors! ”

When Empress Zhang said this, her heart was full of disgust.

She was polite to Ning Tong before, after all, she felt that Ning Tong was a goddess doctor who could bring some changes to herself, but now she felt that this was raising tigers.

……

……

Chen Kuan then called someone to call Li Zhang, and then gave him a face-to-face lecture.

Li Zhang was frightened, but learned that it was the queen's order, and he had to do something.

After Li Zhang left, Wei Bin immediately walked out of the back hall of the celebrant and asked, "Do you really want to do this?" This Ning family, even if she is from an average background, she has also entered a famous family, such a little woman, at best, is only a good fate formed by the virtuous concubine when she was outside the palace, why bother? ”

Chen Kuan said: "Do you really think that our family is making trouble for ourselves?" ”

Wei Bin asked, "Could it be ......?"

"Huh." Chen Kuan said with a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, "Our family also inquired, saying that this woman almost entered Cai Guogong's mansion, and our girl is an eyeliner of Cai Guogong." Why do you think Cai Guogong has been able to rise in recent years? Just by luck? He is resourceful. ”

Wei Bin took a breath and said, "If Cai Guogong relies on women to bring him some news from the palace, it is indeed very unusual." ”

Chen Kuan said: "Concubine Xian's favor is due to Cai Guogong's secret help, do you guess this matter, does the queen mother know?" ”

"This ...... It's hard to say...... "Even Wei Bin can't believe this conspiracy theory."

Chen Kuan shook his head and said: "I think that Concubine Xian was accepted by the Empress Dowager for Your Majesty, but what is the way for the Empress Dowager to change Your Majesty's original intention?" If it weren't for Cai Guogong coming forward, this matter would have always been hanging. Concubine Xian only entered the palace after giving birth to the imperial heir, Cai Guogong not only had a close relationship with the prince, but also had a life-saving friendship with Concubine Xian and the second prince, and Cai Guogong was invincible in advance and retreat. ”

"Then Grandpa Chen is still ......"

Wei Bin felt that Chen Kuan was playing with fire.

Chen Kuan said: "Up and down this palace, which brick is the loosest?" ”

Wei Bin asked tentatively, "Ning's daughter?" ”

Chen Kuan shook his head and said: "She is not a brick in the palace wall, at most she is a brick layer." She wanted to pry the bricks loose, but she didn't have the ability, and Cai Guogong was the only one who had the ability. ”

"I also asked Gonggong Chen to teach me." Wei Bin hurriedly said.

"It's the Empress Dowager'......," Chen Kuan said.

"Huh?"

Wei Bin never expected that the breakthrough was actually on the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Chen Kuan said: "The weak can win the strong, and now the most powerful one is Cai Guogong, let's all stand back." Can we conspire with Wenchen now? Isn't that the same as looking for death? If you don't conspire and don't make a move, how can you gain a foothold? If there is no one in this palace who is of the same mind as us, sooner or later we will all die without a corpse. ”

Wei Bin asked, "So, are we with the Queen Mother?" ”

"Wrong." Chen Kuan said, "From beginning to end, we have been with Your Majesty with one heart. The Empress Dowager's side is also helping Her Majesty. Who are we helping? ”

"Help ......"

Wei Bin couldn't stand Chen Kuan, the riddler.

Chen Kuandao: "On the surface, I am helping the Tai Hospital, and I am also helping the queen, but in fact, I am also helping the queen mother...... Because the Empress Dowager also does not want the power of the palace to be unbalanced. In the past, the Empress Dowager relied on Cai Guogong to check and balance the queen, but now do you guess who she wants to balance? ”

"Hiss......"

"We didn't help anyone." Chen Kuan patted Wei Bin's shoulder, sneered and said, "This matter is investigated by Li Zhang, who is guilty, and it is also borne by Li Zhang and the people from Tai Hospital." But Your Majesty probably won't ask, will Your Majesty ask about such a trivial matter? ”

Wei Bin seemed to understand something, and said in surprise: "Not only to achieve the goal, but also to let Li Zhang carry the black cauldron?" ”

"What black cauldron? Can you speak? Chen Kuan was a little annoyed and said, "We're just doing business, and so is Li Zhang." But with Li Zhang here for a day, we don't have a good life! Ning is just a small character, do you really think she can reach the sky? This will hold the people of the Tai Hospital in their hands, more than anything else! ”

Because of some words, Chen Kuan couldn't say them clearly at all, so that Wei Bin was very confused when he heard this.

But Wei Bin also vaguely felt it.

Compared with Dai Yi and Xiao Jing, who were the eunuchs in front of him, Chen Kuan in front of him was a "ruthless character", but Chen Kuan was too low-key in the past and had no sense of existence, so even he Wei Bin didn't expect that the master of ceremonies would rely on Chen Kuan to stabilize the overall situation.

……

……

Li Zhang was ordered to investigate Ning Tong, and he also knew that Ning Tong and Zhang Zhou had a relationship, so he didn't dare to investigate.

So he assigned the errand to Mu Bin.

Mu Bin asked curiously: "Father-in-law, just a medical girl, why do you want to work for your old master?" ”

Li Zhang said: "What do you know? This medical girl, but what His Majesty admires, was once arranged by Cai Guogong to take care of Concubine Xian to raise a fetus outside the palace, do you think she is just a palace maid? ”

"That ......"

Mu Bin is still very confused.

"I want to arrest someone, I want you to go, but you have to treat her well, just look at her in the courtyard of the house, don't let her come out, and when you want to ask about the case, you go in person, do you know?" Li Zhang said.

Mu Bin asked curiously, "Private house...... Guardian prisoners? ”

"It's not a human offense." Li Zhang emphasized.

Mu Bin said: "Since the queen mother asked me to check, if it is just prevarication, I am afraid that we will not have a good life." ”

"Humph!" Li Zhang said, "Do you think that if you check it, you will have a good life?" Cai Guogong's people are not called people? ”

Mu Bin also suddenly realized that Li Zhang was more afraid of Zhang Zhou than Queen Zhang.

This also seems to explain why Li Zhang was so worried and trembling when he was obviously ordered to give Ning Tong a little color.

This little woman has a big background. (End of chapter)
