Wanli Youming

Chapter 75
After Zhu Yijun finished speaking, both Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun thanked him.

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

And just as Zhu Yijun waited for Tan Lun to finish drinking the pear soup, and when Magui and the others left after returning to their orders, another eunuch's shout came from outside the inner door of Huiji Gate.

Zhu Yijun also walked outside the inner door, and saw that Empress Dowager Li had gone to Zan Er to wait for jewelry, changed into a green cloth robe, and walked back from the dark curtain at the end of the snowy field with brows raised and lips pursed.

Zhu Yijun then cupped his hands and bowed: "Why did the queen mother go and come back?"

Empress Dowager Li ignored Zhu Yijun, and only looked at Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun: "Zhang Juzheng, Tan Lun, have you received the late emperor's favor?"

"The kindness of the late emperor is naturally as heavy as a mountain!"

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Tan Lun hiccupped and replied, "It's the same with me."

Empress Dowager Li said: "Since that is the case, you should know that what your Majesty did tonight is not what the late emperor wanted to see, nor is it the virtue that a gentleman should have! As the old ministers who rely heavily on you, especially you Zhang Juzheng!"

"As the late emperor's assistant prime minister, how can he sit back and watch the king lose his virtue without admonishing him? Would he really want to see the late emperor hand over the country to such a cruel king?!"

Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhu Yijun again as she spoke: "Zhu Yijun, I will not tolerate such an unfilial and immoral person like you ruining the ancestors' community!"

Then, Empress Dowager Li gave instructions to Zhang Juzheng: "Immediately draw up my benevolent order and tell the cabinet, I will call on the Taimiao to abolish the unvirtuous and unfilial king of the dynasty, and make King Lu the emperor!"

Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhu Yijun as she spoke, "Zhu Yijun, how can one of the world's greatest treasures be inherited?"

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun's face darkened, and he said, "The queen mother really wants to destroy the world's system and take care of the world's politics?!"

Empress Dowager Li asked back: "Do you still want to kill your mother?!"

Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhang Juzheng after speaking: "Zhang Juzheng, if you still remember the kindness of the late emperor, you should immediately draw up an order!"

"The Empress Dowager accepts it!"

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly responded seriously, and said: "The emperor wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. The courtiers outside did not obey the order, and were punished for disobedience! Therefore, His Majesty's killing is justified, and they must be punished for not teaching!"

"What's more, His Majesty is not using a stick to kill and humiliate his officials, but to show grace and benevolence."

"If this is the case, the officials in the world still don't appreciate the benevolence of the emperor, it can only be that the officials in the world don't know what is the gift of loyalty to the emperor!"

"If the officials in the world are still dissatisfied, the responsibility should only be blamed for the lack of morality of the ministers and ministers. Not only taught your majesty to rule the world with leniency and benevolence, but also taught your majesty to rule the world with strict laws!" certificate."

"If the Empress Dowager really wants to disregard the authority of the emperor's guidelines and state laws, and wants to flatter and compromise with the officials all over the world, all she needs to do is depose or even punish the officials!"

"How can you talk about the word abolishing the emperor? Wouldn't this make the Queen Mother even more immoral?!"

"And what Your Majesty said is correct, the Empress Dowager should not destroy the world's system, and cannot interfere with the world's politics!"

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, Empress Dowager Li was taken aback.

Then, Empress Dowager Li asked: "So, this is not the emperor's idea alone, but also yours, Mr. Zhang's idea?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "It is better to plan for the king than to argue with him; it is better to help him live than to die for him. With abundant wings, why not fly thousands of miles."

"Thus today's matter is considered to be the minister's plan for His Majesty, and for His Majesty's wish to accomplish what he has done for the eternal sage in the future."

"If it wasn't for my minister's wishes, it would be impossible for the knighthood tonight to become an imperial decree, and the generals would have to be your majesty's sword. Therefore, there is naturally a minister's intention in this, please learn from the queen mother!"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, there is also the meaning of a minister here!"

"If people in the world rebel against His Majesty because of this, His Majesty can kill the ministers to thank the world, or let the ministers ask for rebellion!"

"With the order of the minister, no matter Qi Li or Liu Ma, and the generals from all over the world, they must all be willing to be driven by the minister! It is not a minister who is domineering, but the ruler should be sincere. The general Hu Ruzhen favored in the southeast back then was originally It has been transferred to the minister's door."

Tan Lun followed suit at this time.

He knew that he had been favored by the emperor many times, and now he had to express his support for the emperor Zhu Yijun.

Empress Dowager Li laughed angrily after hearing this: "Okay, you don't want to abolish the emperor. I will go to the Taimiao and ask my ancestors for my sins! After all, I didn't teach my son well, let him be unvirtuous and unfilial! Then I will cut off my family." !"

Empress Dowager Li turned around and left after speaking.

"Queen, please calm down!"

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly knelt down and cried out: "Please be kind to the Empress Dowager, don't trap Your Majesty in injustice!"

Tan Lun looked at Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, you also kneel down, please hurry up and beg the queen mother to appease her anger, don't let the queen mother break into the imperial temple by force!"

Zhu Yijun stood still, like a sculpture.

Zhu Yijun didn't expect Queen Mother Li to be so stubborn and have such a strong desire to control. Both Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun refused to give in when they talked about it. Emperor Ren, but not the slightest bit of ruthlessness that emperors like Ming Taizu and Ming Shizong should have.

However, Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, the civil servants who each represent one side of the power, did not think that the emperor must be benevolent.

It's just that I am now a Buddha-worshiping mother, so I hope that I can compromise with the conservatives who oppose reform.

Zhu Yijun was really speechless. '

"Mr. Lee!"

Suddenly, a shout appeared.

Make everyone stunned in place.

Including Queen Mother Li herself.

And after this scolding appeared, the Empress Dowager Chen, who was dressed in a beautiful dress and beaded crown, appeared in front of Empress Li accompanied by the palace people.

"elder sister?"

Empress Dowager Li asked in surprise.

"If you really want to abolish the system of establishing a aunt and establishing a head, you might as well abolish my title as a aunt first!"

"If you establish King Lu, it's better to announce to the world first, saying that the ancestors' system of establishing a heir and an elder does not count, only what you say counts!"

"You say Jun'er is not filial, how is he not filial? No matter whether it is the cold winter or the hot summer, he will come to my aunt every morning and evening, and even imitate the 24 stories of filial piety, laugh at me, and treat your biological mother. Even more caring!"

"As for him, King Lu, he only knows how to mess around in front of you and doesn't mention it. When does he know to come to greet my aunt? When does he want to come and see my aunt?!"

"In terms of filial piety, it's not as filial as little Yongning, and little Yongning will come to accompany me!"

"In terms of morality, he is even worse, beating court ladies and eunuchs for no reason! If he is not young, otherwise I would have let the emperor kick him out and go away!"

Empress Dowager Chen said: "So, what right does King Lu have to take away Jun'er's position by abolishing the elder and erecting the young?! If you really do this, first abolish me, and then abolish Juner!"

Empress Dowager Li hurriedly saluted and cried: "Sister, calm down! My sister is just talking in a moment of anger! I don't dare to really destroy the system of the world."

"So it was out of anger?"

Empress Dowager Chen sneered, and then solemnly questioned Empress Dowager Li: "Can you say that the emperor is not filial if you are angry?! Or in front of the courtiers!"

The Empress Dowager Chen said: "I am the aunt of the emperor's heirs, and I am also the imperial concubine empress appointed by the Shimiao. I should have disciplined them, but I have always been in poor health. I also saw that my sister is a small family of mud tiles. But it can be regarded as polite and reasonable, not to mention that the Guochao did not despise the common people, so they left the matter of disciplining the emperor's heirs and even Jun'er to the younger sister, and did not ask about the inner court, but I did not expect that the younger sister is becoming more and more ignorant now. , To actually throw a tantrum in front of this court, and even go to the Taimiao to do it in front of the ancestors!"

After saying that, Empress Dowager Chen came over, pointed at Zhu Yijun, and said to Mrs. Li: "He is the only emperor and crown prince of the Ming Dynasty who can be the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is not your son who can be scolded as much as you want! It must be my aunt who said it first! I just leave it to you, not to say that you can really accuse me at will!"

"Sister calm down, my sister will never dare again!"

Empress Dowager Li knelt down in tears like rain.
