Wanli Xinming

Chapter 182
Being so robbed by the queen mother, Zhuang Jingjia's face was pale.She glanced at the sleeping emperor, bit her lip, stood up and said, "What the queen mother said was that the concubine thought too much."

Empress Dowager Li's anger has not subsided, and she still has something to say.Empress Dowager Chen interjected: "Well, what you are worried about is not unreasonable. But I am filial to my father and son, and my brothers and sisters are respectful, but I don't have the dirty things of the previous dynasty. The queen doesn't have to worry about it."

Zhuang Jingjia's eyes were red, and she lowered her head and said: "What the Queen Mother taught is that the ministers and concubines are just worrying. I just think that if the emperor's horse is compromised, the traitorous thief will definitely see King Lu as a rare commodity, and he can't help but say it again. It’s not that I doubt King Lu—he’s still a child, so how can my concubine suspect him?”

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, her face changed color.She began to think that the emperor's fall from the horse was an accident. After Zhuang Jingjia's analysis, she was frightened and calmed down.Looking directly into Zhuang Jingjia's eyes, he asked, "Why, the emperor's horse was manipulated?"

Zhuang Jingjia lowered her head and replied, "I don't know what the concubine does, but now the horse is also being guarded by the guards, and the concubine has not dared to take care of it without getting the will."

Empress Dowager Li listened and said, "What is your will? Thorough investigation!"

Before the words fell, the inner official outside the hall played: "Report to the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet is waiting."

With the sound of footsteps, Zhang Juzheng brought Duke Yingying, Lu Tiaoyang, Wang Guoguang, and Zhang Siwei to kowtow outside the hall to welcome him.

Empress Dowager Li glanced at Empress Dowager Chen, and seeing that she nodded, she ordered, "Let them come in."

Zhang Juzheng, with red eyes and a solemn expression, brought several important officials into the hall.When he entered the door, he asked: "The emperor fell from the horse, and the ministers and others are torn apart—I wonder how the holy bow is?"

Just as Empress Dowager Li was about to speak, Zhuang Jingjia already replied, "Don't worry, old gentleman, the imperial doctor has just seen it, but he suffered some concussions on his head and injured his leg, and he will wake up in a while."

Zhang Juzheng let out a long breath, and suddenly fell to the ground and choked up unspeakably.The thin body trembled slightly, tears rolled down, and after a while, he said in a voice: "Your Majesty's body is ten thousand, please don't do this kind of thing in the future, my minister." He was speechless.

When the two queen mothers and the queen saw his true feelings revealed, their hearts were also a little sad.Empress Dowager Li nodded and said: "What the old gentleman said is. The emperor is not allowed to ride a horse in the future. However, the queen is afraid that the horse has been manipulated, but this must be investigated."

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, his beard and hair were all stretched out, and he shouted angrily, "Is there actually such a maddened beast in the palace? Where is the supervisor of li?!"

With a shout of anger, the three women and the cabinet member kneeling behind him were all stunned by him.Empress Dowager Li groaned in her heart, and asked left and right, "Why hasn't Zhang Hong come yet? Didn't he send him in a bundle?"

Hearing what Empress Dowager Li said, Wei Chao went out from the gate of the palace and arranged for another person to rush him.He took two quick steps by himself and looked outside the Bailu Palace.

Suddenly I saw the person next to the Queen Mother who had gone to Zhang Hong running from a distance, holding some paper in his hand, and running fast out of breath.

Seeing that he was in front of him, Wei Chao saw that the inner official opened his mouth wide, his face full of fear, his lips were trembling and he couldn't speak.

Listening to the inner official's shrill voice and trembling, he said, "Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor."

Wei Chao walked up to him, slapped him in the mouth, and scolded, "I told you to get something, why did you arrive at this time? Shut up."

Hearing this, the inner officer closed his mouth tightly.Wei Chao glanced left and right and said, "The Queen Mother is waiting, why don't you go in yet?" He kicked him again and followed him into the palace gate.

The inner prisoner trotted into the main hall, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with a trembling voice, "The Queen Mother, Eunuch Zhang, Eunuch Zhang, he."

Empress Dowager Li frowned and said, "What's wrong with Zhang Hong? You are so happy to answer." Zhang Juzheng was also given a seat at this time, looking at the appearance of the inner prisoner, doubts grew in his heart.

The inner supervisor let out a breath and said, "Eunuch Zhang himself hanged himself, and he still left a suicide note here!" After speaking, he seemed to be paralyzed, and he forcibly lifted a few pieces of paper in his hand.

It was like a thunderstorm hit in the middle of the room, and everyone in the hall changed color.There was a buzzing sound in Empress Dowager Li's head, and her voice changed: "What did you say?"

The inner prisoner shivered and played: "The slaves and servants searched everywhere and couldn't find Eunuch Zhang. Later, I found it in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and it has been hung up."

Wei Chao took two steps from the entrance of the hall, took Zhang Hong's suicide note from the inner supervisor, lowered his head and glanced at everyone in the hall, and handed the suicide note directly to the queen.Empress Dowager Li was stunned for a moment, with an angry look on her face, then she sighed, and a wry smile appeared on her face.

Zhuang Jingjia's face was pale, and when he took the sheets of paper and looked at them, he saw that it was written:

"The unpardonable criminal minister Zhang Hong said: Since the emperor came into power, he has ramped up the revolution, corrupted the country's system, did not listen to loyalty and remonstrance, and was very happy with the merits. The emperor collapsed the imperial line and brought chaos to the world!"

"The crime of treason will not be forgiven! And the emperor's reform will suffer the people, the world, the collapse of the society, etc., and the crime of the ministers is even worse! The emperor has already abolished the Dongchang factory, and later wants to abolish the ceremonies, the ancestors' family law will be completely eliminated. And worry about the collapse of the society."

"In the past, the minister remonstrated against the lord but did not listen, but today the remonstrance will die and the minister will not live alone; if the minister betrays a single husband, it is not against the king's father! If the minister is lucky, and King Lu is young, the queen mother may rule, and the country will be in good shape. If it is saved, the ancestral temple will be safe.”

"Zhang Juzheng, the traitorous minister who brought troubles to the imperial government! Wang Guoguang, Zhang Siwei and others have done their best! The affairs of the state are so thick, the ministers only hope that the new ruler will seek governance, dismiss the traitors, recall the upright ministers, and diligently seek governance to live up to the ancestors. Zong's Hope."

"What's the point of a minister's death? Now that I am admonishing the emperor with one death, I know that there is a righteousness in the midst of the dangling."

"When the minister was checking the emperor's saddle, he hid steel needles inside, and at the speed of chasing the sound, if the emperor rides, it will be unfortunate, and one will show the end of the king of the world; the two say that they have nothing to do with others, and there is no need to get involved. To save one's life is nothing but the ear of God, and the minister does his best without regret.
"The minister's family broke down early when he was young, and the orphan is also an orphan. Although he has a relative and a son, he will be burdened by the minister, but he will die. How can the family cry all the way? Again."

Zhuang Jingjia looked at Zhang Hong's suicide note, her face was pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "Sure enough, there is a wicked person, please read the Queen Mother." After speaking, she handed the suicide note to the Queen Mother Chen.

Empress Dowager Chen swept through the eyes and ten lines, not knowing what to say, and handed it to Empress Dowager Li with a solemn expression.Empress Dowager Li took it with trembling hands. Seeing Zhang Hong admitting his guilt, she felt dizzy and nearly fainted.

After everyone in the hall had seen it, Zhuang Jingjia asked Zhang Juzheng and others, "Look, old gentleman, what should we do?"

At this moment, Zhang Ju's heart was hot and cold, bitter and sour.Rao him is a person of determination and determination, and he is also a little discouraged and frustrated during this time.

Finally wept and said: "It's difficult for the emperor! It's also difficult for the ministers to wait! It's just to revitalize politics and make the country rich and the people strong. How can there be such things! If the emperor is unlucky, it will be difficult to atone for his crimes by destroying his ministers! Alas ——" The man in his 50s choked up again, and the Duke of England and others wept when they saw what he said.

Although Zhuang Jingjia's face was pale, she could speak calmly. Seeing Zhang Juzheng's commotion, she coughed lightly and said, "Old gentleman, don't be sad, fortunately, His Majesty protects you from all kinds of gods, and you won't die. Please calm down and tell me what to do."

Empress Dowager Li stood up and said: "Zhang Hong was appointed by me, and the suicide note said how King Lu and I were. I am already in the place of suspicion. I will go back to the palace first - I will bring King Lu in a while."

After hearing this, Zhuang Jingjia stared at her with bright eyes, as if judging whether Empress Dowager Li was credible.After this big change, the Empress Dowager Chen is indeed a bit numb. The emperor was murdered by Zhang Hong, although he failed, but Zhang Hong kept saying that King Lu succeeded the throne and that the Empress Dowager continued to rule, it was indeed difficult for Empress Dowager Li to clear it.

Zhang Juzheng didn't know what to say when he saw the discord between his mother-in-law and his daughter-in-law.Zhuang Jingjia suddenly knelt down and burst into tears and said, "The queen mother doesn't need to say that, it's all your flesh and blood, how can you kill the eldest son because she loves the younger son? Besides, who in the world does not know the kindness of the queen mother to the emperor? Every time the emperor recites it, he sighs with his concubines and concubines. 'I am blessed to be the queen mother' - if you go back to the palace today, the concubines are afraid that the emperor will wake up, and they will first blame them for being unfilial!"

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, her heart became very hot, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.Empress Dowager Chen quickly stood up and said, "Sister really doesn't have to say that."

Zhang Juzheng and the British public also knelt down to keep Empress Dowager Li.Zhang Juzheng advised: "The empress dowager does not need to restrain herself. The ministers thought that although the empress dowager was a female liu, but she had the virtues of Yao and Shun who had been in the government for many years, how could she put the emperor in a place of unfilial piety? Why do you care about your words? These are the sincere words of the ministers and others, please accept the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Li shed tears and said: "I never expected Zhang Hong to do such a thing. I have no masters. Forget it, I'm still here. Just ask King Lu to come and let the queen take him for a few days."

When Zhang Juzheng heard it, he played: "I thought this was not necessary. The emperor was only in a drowsy sleep, and it was less than two hours before he fell from the horse. If King Lu was called, he would be surprised both inside and outside. , Cui Min and other people around the emperor, choose one to serve in the past, so that they can live in peace with each other."

Empress Dowager Li listened and nodded in approval.Looking at Zhuang Jingjia again, Zhuang Jingjia thought for a while and said, "According to what the old man said. Cui Min, go and serve King Lu." Cui Min knelt down and accepted the decree.

At this moment, Zhu Yijun, who had been left unnoticed on the bed, suddenly said, "Where is this?"

　1. Note: In the original time and space, Zhang Hong died on a hunger strike shortly after Wanli took over the leadership.

　　2. Lao Mo read the comments in the previous chapter - hey, again, I would like to ask everyone to be more patient.This is not an unorthodox historical article, this is a deduction article that Lao Mo has invested too much effort in - maybe I think it is.Although Zhang Hong does not have much ink, his personality is also carefully portrayed.Lao Mo has been pondering how to tell this story well these days, but he was called a "neuropathy", and his heart was wacky.Ask for some monthly passes and recommended tickets for comfort!
　　3. The emperor will not be lame, please rest assured.

　　4. Queen. If you don't like it, Lao Mo has nothing to do for the time being.This one is called "Happy Love". There is a main line between the emperor and the queen, and it can't be changed now, unless Lao Mo rewrites this book.Hey, a 15-year-old girl, please don't compete with her, Mr. Mo, thank you for her!
