Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 47 The Lobbyist
Chapter 47 Lobbyists

Inside the Cining Palace.

The queen mother stared at Wang He with a look of surprise, and said majesticly: "Master Wang, what do you mean by that?"

"Could it be that there are some rebellious officials and thieves in the court?"

Wang He nodded heavily, and pretended to cry: "Please let the Queen Mother be the master!"

"The cabinet deceived the top and the bottom, massacred the ministers of the DPRK and China, and eliminated dissidents. If this continues for a long time, I am afraid there will only be one voice."

The queen mother frowned tightly when she heard the words, she didn't expect the matter to develop to such an extent.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Tell the Ai family exactly what you have said, and the Ai family will definitely decide for you!"

Wang He nodded excitedly, and thanked him: "Thank you Queen Mother!"

In the palace, according to Cao Zhengchun's explanation, Wang He intensified and told the Queen Mother all his words.

However, when Wang He talked about this matter, he did not mention their corruption of ink and silver, but more said that the cabinet massacred good people and committed heinous crimes.

When the Queen Mother heard this, displeasure flickered between her brows: "What the cabinet has done is really outrageous."

"Thousands of people were beheaded, even if they really made a big mistake, they should report the matter to His Majesty, and let His Majesty judge."

"After all, among the beheaded officials, there are many second-rank and third-rank officials."

Wang He covered his face with tears and said sadly: "Queen Mother, it is not a pity for me to die alone, but I really can't bear the Ming Dynasty to be in danger.

"Right now, all the officials in the court are in danger and secretly call Mr. Liu Ge "Liu Behead". Although these are just titles, they are enough to show how many innocent officials they killed in this matter!"

"Hmph, what they did is too disgraceful, Aijia will definitely decide for you and punish them severely."

"The Ai family would like to see, is the surname Zhu or Liu in this great Ming world?"

With the queen mother's words, Wang He's face showed a little relief, but he quickly put on a pitiful look.

"Thank you queen, thank you queen!"

The Empress Dowager looked at Wang He majestically, and said, "Lord Wang, you wait in Aijia's Compassionate Palace. Aijia is going to see His Majesty right now, and he must punish the cabinet properly."

"As ordered."

The Empress Dowager's plan to let Zhang Xuan enter the palace will inevitably cause displeasure in the cabinet, so it is better to hit the cabinet while the iron is hot.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhu Houzhao is reviewing the memorial.

Outside, although the cabinet made a big noise, it has not been reported, but it does not mean that Zhu Houzhao is ignorant of this matter.

Especially when Zhu Houzhao learned that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang had killed nearly a thousand officials, he couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"It's Liu beheaded, butcher Li, these two people really deserve each other!"

Zhu Houzhao did not expect that the forced cabinet would actually take action against the corrupt officials of Ming Dynasty for the sake of the national treasury. This time, the cabinet might be infamous forever.

They backed their names, and the emperor reaped benefits. ,

The monarch is an emperor through the ages, but the courtiers are cruel officials through the ages.

However, in the entire court, everyone knew in their hearts that without the support of the emperor, who would dare to do such a thing?

When dawn was approaching, Bai Xue left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Originally Zhu Houzhao just wanted to ask about something outside the court, but ended up doing something between the emperor and the concubine.

When Bai Xue left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, her face was rosy and charming.
When she returned to Chuxiu Palace, an imperial decree was passed down.

Outside the Chuxiu Palace, twelve eunuchs and twelve court ladies dragged all kinds of brocades, phoenix crowns, and silk jewelry.
Bai Xue's eyes were dazzled, and the maids and eunuchs behind her had never seen such a formation.

"Miss Zhaoyi, these are all rewards from His Majesty."

The eunuch's face was full of smiles, thinking it was a good reason to curry favor with Bai Xue.

Empress Zhaoyi is the first concubine favored by His Majesty, her position in the palace in the future is very important, even if the Empress Dowager is drafted in the world in the future, those maids who enter the palace will first come to see Empress Zhaoyi.

This Empress Zhaoyi is of course blessed, it is a supreme blessing to be cleaned up by His Majesty!
The close eunuch handed over the imperial decree to Bai Xue.

Zhaoyi's status is under the ninth concubine, and now she is waiting for Baixue's good news. If the beauty is happy, then the concubine position is within easy reach.

"Empress Zhaoyi, please move to Chuxiu Palace. From today onwards, Empress Zhaoyi will be the master of this Chuxiu Palace."

As soon as the eunuch's voice finished speaking, Bai Xue saw a familiar figure.Ouyang Jing appeared outside Chuxiu Palace.

As soon as Bai Xue soared into the sky, she won no less help from Ouyang Jing. Without Ouyang Jing's guidance, she might not know how to face His Majesty.

From now on, Bai Xue can call herself Bengong.

Once she becomes the master of Chuxiu Palace, even if the emperor has a more favored woman in the future, she will not be able to compete with Bai Xue for the position of the harem. Only when Bai Xue's mother honors the world, becomes a queen, and lives in Kunning Palace, can this position be vacated.

Ouyang Jing and Bai Xue went to the main store of Chuxiu Palace, and the number of maids serving Bai Xue changed from the original eight to 72.

The emperor's first concubine, entered the Chuxiu Palace.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Houzhao had just stretched his waist when a burst of trumpets sounded outside the hall.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Zhu Houzhao was slightly startled when he heard this, and raised his head to look outside.

When the trumpet sounded, the Empress Dowager slowly stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"My son has seen the queen mother, but I don't know why the queen mother came suddenly, what is the so-called?"

The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Zhao'er doesn't need to be polite!"

"Ai's family is in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and there's nothing wrong with it. I just come to visit you at will."

"I wonder if Zhao'er has heard any gossip recently?"

"Gossip?"

Zhu Houzhao was a little shocked when he heard the words, but he immediately pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Mother, I don't know what kind of gossip you are talking about? I don't know."

Seeing this, the queen mother gradually became serious.

"Imperial son, the Ai family is originally a harem, and they are not here to interfere in the government affairs, let alone participate in any affairs in the government affairs, but the Ai family heard a very bad news today."

"The Ai family heard that Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Li Dongyang, the second assistant, wantonly arrested the officials of the DPRK and China, and killed nearly a thousand people today."

"Even if thousands of people committed the crime of disrespect, this law does not blame everyone. If more than 1000 officials are executed at once, this is also a great loss to my Ming Dynasty!"

When the queen mother said these words, her eyes fell on the emperor's face inadvertently.

Although the emperor hadn't had an attack because of the queen's face, Zhu Houzhao's face didn't seem so good-looking either.

"Emperor, Aijia came here to tell you this, and there is no other meaning. After all, you are the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Aijia just hopes that you can restrain the cabinet and let them kill officials less."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao raised his head and said, "Queen Mother, who asked you to come here to be this lobbyist?"

"This"

The queen mother was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what to answer Zhu Houzhao's words.

"If you have anything to say, let them come to me directly, and don't need to convey it to me through you."

As soon as these words came out, the queen mother felt that Zhu Houzhao at this moment was no longer the child who surrounded her before.

She can no longer call him Zhao'er.

He now thinks the real Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

The majesty of the emperor had already been established when he ascended the throne. If she overstepped it again, the Empress Dowager Zhou was an example.

It's not that her child, Zhu Houzhao, doesn't show respect to his mother, but this is imperial power, this is politics, if you don't understand, you will pay with your life for it.
