Wanli 1592

Chapter 269 Empress Dowager Li Arrives

Zhu Yijun carefully used words and sentences, and soon, he wrote a secret edict and handed it to a special person to seal it. Then he chose the most reliable candidate and sent it to Xiao Ruxun safely. , no fourth person knew about it.

The person in charge of sending the letter is Zhang Jing, the admiral of the East Factory, who is also a capable man selected by Zhang Jing, the head of the notorious spy agency of the East Factory. Zhang Jing may not be so well known, but once what he has done is exposed Come out, then it is enough to be known-this guy is the key figure who persuaded the emperor to overthrow Feng Bao and end Zhang Juzheng's reform.

After Feng Bao's downfall, Zhang Jing, as a meritorious person, successfully gained the emperor's trust, was able to admiral Dongchang, and took charge of the notorious spy organization of Dongchang. Every so often, there will be one or two slightly better-hearted commanders, and the previous directors of Dongchang have absolutely no kind people, especially Zhang Jing.

But should I say it or not, Zhang Jing is still capable of doing things, otherwise he would not be trusted by the emperor. He can basically do what the emperor asked him to do. Zhang Jing and Luo Sigong played a very important role in Zhu Yijun's anti-brainwashing process. The effect is that they collected a large number of personal and material evidence to help Zhu Yijun wake up from the "dream of the sage king" and recognize the shameless faces of the scholar-bureaucrats.

Now, Zhu Yijun's decision to take this crucial step cannot be done without the help of the only organization left to him by his ancestors that can be used as a help at critical moments.

Zhang Jing chose Liu Wei, one of his godsons, to do this job. Liu Wei is a rare talent in handling affairs because he is strong and flexible. Zhang Jing relies on him very much. With such an important job this time, Liu Wei Wei not only took on the task of sending letters, but also took on the task of persuading Xiao Ruxun once his thoughts wavered.

Zhu Yijun can't guarantee that Xiao Ruxun will definitely listen to him. There is still a difference between 90.00% and [-]%, and Liu Wei needs to fill in the gap of [-]% with his own personal ability. On one point, Zhu Yijun still believed in the man Zhang Jing had chosen.

Taking advantage of the quietest time in the palace in the afternoon, Liu Wei planned to sneak out of the palace secretly. When he arrived at the secret passageway he used most often to leave the palace, he was just about to enter when a large net suddenly fell from the sky and covered Liu Wei's entire body. It was covered, and then a large group of strong servants rushed out, each with a water and fire stick, and hit Liu Wei who was caught by the big net, and beat him to death. After about five or six minutes, Liu Wei was no longer miserable. Howl, there is no life at all.

A grand eunuch in gorgeous clothes came over surrounded by several servants. A young prisoner who was in charge of beating Liu Wei to death handed over a blood-stained secret letter. Qing kissed him, and he knew that this was what they wanted.

Then the eunuch looked at the bloody ground with disgust, frowned, covered his nose, and shouted angrily, "Deal with it immediately!"

"As ordered!"

The young prisoner quickly led his men to clean up the scene.

The chief eunuch led the people all the way into a palace, and after a while, an old woman in a gorgeous palace costume walked out of the palace. Surrounded by a group of court ladies and eunuchs, she marched towards the center of power in the palace. Ten years ago, she did the same thing every morning.

Zhu Yijun is making intensive arrangements here. Just when some aftermath matters were arranged, someone suddenly reported from outside the palace that the carriage frame of the empress dowager was heading for the emperor's bedroom. His mother-child relationship has become indifferent, and he seldom sees each other. Even if there is contact, it is because he has to. For example, the emperor's birthday and the queen mother's birthday, as well as important events such as sacrificing ancestors, etc. Usually, Queen Mother Li doesn't want to see him at all. Not to mention that he never came to him in person, every time he faced the situation bravely and hoped to get help from his mother, and then ran back disheveled after touching his nose.

At this time, the appearance of Empress Dowager Li was unusual. With the keen sense of an emperor, Zhu Yijun realized that the matter was not simple. The arrival of Empress Dowager Li seemed to herald something.

So Zhu Yijun gave an order, and the coup d'état command center, which was in full swing, immediately dispersed, and returned to the emperor's bedroom, which gave people a lazy, powerless, quiet and peaceful appearance.

Zhu Yijun used his superb acting skills to deal with Zhang Juzheng, and instantly changed from the state of the emperor seizing power to the state of the emperor's neglect of government. The so-called life is so dependent on acting skills, and the emperor's house is no different, even more classic, from the queen mother to the emperor to the concubine and then to the emperor. In the end, among the court ladies and eunuchs, whoever can't act or whose acting skills are not up to standard will not be able to survive in the palace.

That's why we have been emphasizing acting skills!Acting!

Zhu Yijun has a graceful and lazy appearance, copying a pair of Mi Fu's calligraphy on his desk, the so-called four great calligraphers of the Song Dynasty Su Huang Mi Cai, Zhu Yijun still likes to practice calligraphy in his spare time, and he used to do it often , in his mind, it will definitely not arouse the vigilance of the empress dowager.

Soon, the eunuch who announced the arrival of the empress dowager arrived and shouted at the top of his voice, "The empress dowager has arrived—"

As the empress dowager, Empress Dowager Li was the only living person in the entire Ming Dynasty who could make the emperor kneel down and greet him personally. The queen mother still has a lot of prestige among the courtiers. After ten years of Wanli, Zhu Yijun can solve many things smoothly as long as the queen mother Li speaks, but the queen mother never gave Zhu Yijun any support. One of the important reasons for the minister's falling out.

Although angry, complaining, and sad, Zhu Yijun had no choice but to obey Queen Mother Li's wishes, just because of the word "filial piety". Ming Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and filial piety is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.

Zhu Yijun walked out of the dormitory with a smile on his face, and went to meet Queen Mother Li in person at the door of the hall. Seeing Queen Mother Li's carriage arrive at the door of the hall, and seeing Queen Mother Li getting off the car slowly, Zhu Yijun hurried forward a few steps to the door of Queen Mother Li. Beside him, he supported Empress Dowager Li's hand.

"The son has been busy with state affairs recently and has never had time to visit his mother. It is really unfilial of the son. I ask the mother to forgive the son's unfilial piety."

Zhu Yijun's big round face is full of smiles, which is very interesting, so that the Empress Dowager Li can't help but think of when she was in the palace, the smiling face of this big round face made her feel the most happy. I don't know where they were thrown for a long time, and the harmony between each other is just pretending. If it wasn't for today's matter, Queen Mother Li would not want to see this face at all.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Ai's family looks at the good weather today and is very comfortable. Also thinking that the emperor is busy with state affairs and worried about the emperor's health, he asked someone to make some special dishes in Ai's palace for the emperor to taste."

Empress Dowager Li wore a smile that had remained unchanged for decades, but Zhu Yijun, who was familiar with this smile, knew very well that it was a fake.
