[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

The matter of the vassal king is naturally not as simple as what Emperor Zhengde said. Although the decree has been promulgated, it will take time to prove the strength of its implementation.If you can't really persevere, then there will be no effect at all.For this reason, Emperor Zhengde also specially sent a person to take charge of this matter-Wang Shouren.

Since the incident with Zhang Wanquan, Wang Shouren has been promoted by the late emperor, and he is now the censor of Zuoqian capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.His character was upright and he dared to speak out. Emperor Zhengde was very relieved of him.And Wang Shouren did not disappoint Emperor Zhengde's trust in him. He suppressed all the opposition with a bold posture, and then started his inspections in various places.

As this matter really started, it also means that a year has passed.

And after six years of Zhengde, the whole court seemed to recall a matter that had been neglected for a year, and that was about the emperor's marriage.Because the two things in Zhengde's six years were too much attention, they didn't pay attention to them at all, and when they came back to their senses, another year passed.

The ministers outside the palace did not expect that the Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace was already in a hurry. After the emperor temporarily fooled her by saying that he wanted to find his beloved, the Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to find time to talk about this matter again, but Finding that the emperor has been busy with various court affairs, for the sake of the emperor, she can only temporarily postpone this matter.Now that the emperor finally got some leisure, she began to call the emperor over frequently again.

As for why she called the emperor over instead of going to the Qianqing Palace to question him more imposingly, that is because Emperor Zhengde is almost rooted in the Leopard House now.Since the construction of the Leopard Room was completed, Emperor Zhengde spent almost all his time there, which almost made Empress Dowager Zhang think that the emperor was hiding in the golden house there. Unfortunately, after she visited it once in person, she could only put this thought aside embarrassingly.

And the emperor faced the danger of forced marriage again, and Jiao Shizhi didn't give way too much.

Since his father returned to his hometown for the funeral, it basically meant that his official career had come to an end.Although after the three-year period passed, Jiao Jun also wrote to Jiao Shizhi, hoping that he could help him with activities in the capital, so that he could return to the officialdom, but Emperor Zhengde hated him, and Jiao Shizhi Starting from his own heart, there is no way to do this, and he will not intervene in these matters.

However, this also caused Jiao Shizhi to have no elders in the capital. Now that he is in his twenties but has not yet married, he is considered a good candidate in some people's hearts.Since there was no way to contact him through his elders, some people began to ask Jiao Shizhi what he meant through the mouths of officials around him in the past two years. I spoke.

When Jiao Shizhi asked Xiu Mu to talk about it on a rare day, Jiao Shizhi was completely surprised. In his opinion, Xiao Minghua was not such a person.In his line of sight, Xiao Minghua had no choice but to cover his face and say, "This time it's my mother's niece. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have given up this old face to ask you."

No, it should be said that if his mother hadn't been forcing him to ask, Xiao Minghua would have regarded this matter as non-existent!He was well aware of the Emperor's intentions, although he didn't know how long he was going to hide it, but he came to ask Jiao Shizhi, wasn't he trying to kill himself?If Xiao Minghua hadn't been really filial to his mother, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his official career to ask about this matter.

Jiao Shizhi didn't know how entangled the mind of the person sitting opposite him was. Now that Xiao Minghua had asked this question, he also answered frankly: "You also know the situation in my family, so I won't tell lies. Ever since my mother passed away, , I no longer have the idea of ​​starting a family, your mother... I hope you can help me refuse."

Xiao Minghua nodded quickly, and quickly passed this article. The two of them rarely met outside the palace, so they simply put everything aside and chatted leisurely over a glass of wine.It's also rare for Jiao Shizhi to have such an opportunity, most of his rest time is in the palace, and it's rare that he can come out to sit with friends, and the atmosphere is relaxed and tense for a while.

The two of them were in a restaurant near the lake that Xiao Minghua had booked. Everywhere they went was exquisite, and it was dedicated to serving these officials and officials, so the surrounding environment was also very quiet. When a discordant voice sounded, Xiao Minghua Before he could react, Jiao Shizhi pushed open the window and took a look, then frowned.

Xiao Minghua stood up following his movements in amazement, and asked, "What did you see..." Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the scene downstairs.

The characteristic of this restaurant is that it is facing the lake. When Xiao Minghua booked a room, he naturally chose the one facing the lake. Besides the unobstructed view of the lake, the restaurant also has a flat ground underneath, where all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are blooming. It's a great place to take a walk after dinner.However, it is rare for people to walk in the restaurant here, it is just a place to enjoy the eyes.However, at this moment, there was a man drinking madly there, holding a half-retired woman in his arms while making a fuss, and there were many people around to dissuade him, Xiao Minghua watched for a long time before he recognized who it was.

"It's never too late for people from the Zhang family to make trouble." After Xiao Minghua recognized who that person was, he subconsciously complained.

Jiao Shizhi had already sat back to his original position, drinking with a clear wine glass in his hand, "I thought I was mistaken, I remember that Zhang Yuanyuan was quite outstanding at first." Although he was still arrogant and domineering, But in Zhang's family, he is still a bit talented, as if he can't do such a thing.

Xiao Minghua sneered, and said in a low voice: "It's no wonder you don't know. Since you went to Beizhen Fusi, you have been focusing on the case, and you have read less of the collected gossip." Nodding shyly, because he has no skills at all, he can no longer take care of some things now.

Xiao Minghua laughed loudly and patted him on the shoulder, "What's the matter? Doesn't it just show that the emperor attaches great importance to you? It's always exhausting to watch everything in detail, and no one can do it. Half a month ago Zhang Yuanyuan was There is no hope for a person who has lost his life, and the Zhang family is also anxious right now, but I didn't expect this person to have the intention to escape."

Jiao Shizhi's eyes froze, and he immediately guessed what Xiao Minghua meant, "As the son of the Marquis of the Zhang family, how could he be so bold as to dare to hurt him? "

"Hey, what's strange is that it's here that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, including the Jinyiwei East Factory, has yet to find out who the person who put on the black bag in the middle of the night is." Xiao Minghua, who is also a member of Jinyiwei, is talking When it came to this matter, I didn't feel worried at all. On the contrary, I was very gloating. Even if I was scolded, it was worth it.

Hearing a lot of gossip from Xiao Minghua, and filled his stomach with wine, when Jiao Shizhi went back, he was dangling on the red date, and slowly took twice as long as usual to go back.Because the jujube knew the way, Jiao Shizhi didn't force her, and let her trot by herself, but she was bent directly outside the emperor's house.

Jiao Shizhi got off her body, took her back to the stable first, prepared fresh horse grass for her, and then walked back again. Just now, he saw his fat eunuch walking over quickly, "Jiao Shizhi My lord, the house has already prepared hot water, do you want to go soak first?"

"Thank you, but is the emperor not here now?" Jiao Shizhi smelled that he smelled of alcohol, and was about to change clothes first, but the fat eunuch said that the emperor is not in the leopard room now, that would be strange .

The fat eunuch nodded, "I was called away by the empress dowager half an hour ago, and I haven't come back yet."

Jiao Shizhi then went back to take a bath and change his clothes. When his hair was half dry, he heard the emperor's footsteps. Before he put down the towel, the emperor had already walked in.While walking into the house, he let Liu Jin Lehua who was following him retreat, walked straight to Jiao Shizhi and sat down, then sighed.

As he grew older, Emperor Zhengde's face became more handsome and deep, and his voice became deeper and deeper.But just now with such a soft sigh, there was a bit of lingering tenderness.Jiao Shizhi knew that he was not feeling well right now, so he asked gently: "Your Majesty, would you like to make something first, I heard that you didn't eat much for lunch."

Emperor Zhengde supported his chin with one hand, "I don't want to eat, but now I feel a headache just thinking about the Queen Mother."

"Didn't the empress dowager ask you to talk about the Zhang family?" Jiao Shizhi asked, just now Xiao Minghua told him something related, Jiao Shizhi's first reaction could only be to think about this matter.

Emperor Zhengde nodded, then shook his head again, "A few days ago I was looking for that matter, but not today. She gave me a stack of portraits that was almost half the height of the table, forcing me to choose one Come out, if I hadn't exhausted my tongue, you still wouldn't see me now."

Jiao Shizhi smiled lightly and said, "Your ability has become stronger and stronger, and you were able to escape from the sky under the nagging of the empress dowager."

When Emperor Zhengde thought of this, he became angry, grabbed Jiao Shizhi's half-dry hair and rubbed it, "You still say, today I ran out of the palace to be free and easy, pity me for most of the day All of them were delayed by this shit. After talking about the marriage and talking about the Zhang family, I was so annoyed to hear about the Zhang family's affairs that I almost slipped my mouth."

"...I slipped my tongue, could it be that that person is the emperor?" Jiao Shizhi asked a little awkwardly when he heard Emperor Zhengde's unreasonable last sentence, suddenly remembered something.

Zhu Houzhao nodded as a matter of course, "Of course it's me, otherwise you think that the ability of Yidongchang Jinyiwei can't even find a clue, isn't that a joke?"

Jiao Shizhi said helplessly: "Why did you go against the Zhang family, and you still use this method to deal with them." Although he said so, but seeing Emperor Zhengde's dissatisfied moaning, Jiao Shizhi endured it again. I couldn't help laughing.

Emperor Zhengde said innocently: "I just went out of the palace for a sneak peek, and happened to bump into them in the street. As a result, he uttered nonsense in front of me, and I asked someone to put a black bag on him in the middle of the night." His statement at the time was It was indeed unexpected to let people play freely, and the result turned out like this, but it made him even more happy.

Jiao Shizhi asked tentatively, "What did he say that disgusted you so much?"

Emperor Zhengde said casually: "It's nothing, those words are not very pleasant to your ears, so don't listen to them. Anyway, that's the end of Zhang Yuanyuan's affairs. I haven't settled with them for the Zhang family's affairs, but I have the face to look for them every day. I."

Jiao Shizhi didn't ask any more questions, and after drying his hair, he followed the emperor to correct the memorial.

Half a month later, he went up early again, as usual—Emperor Zhengde angrily shook his sleeves and left the hall.

Jiao Shizhi reluctantly followed behind and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't get angry, don't spoil your body with anger." Emperor Zhengde snorted coldly, "If it's that simple, you can lose your body because of anger. Already pissed off!"

Jiao Shizhi smiled lightly and said, "Then after all these years, you are still so easy to get angry." His soft voice made Emperor Zhengde's newly raised temper suppressed a lot, "They poke me like this every day Xinwozi, can I not be angry?" He slowed down his pace, allowing a group of chasing servants to keep up, but the anger on his face remained undiminished.

"Your Majesty, the Qianqing Palace is indeed an ancestral system, and it is common for ministers to babble a few words. Just treat them as carrots, and let it go after listening, so you won't be so angry." Jiao Shizhi persuaded road.

"Hahaha——Shizhi, if your words are heard by those few people, you will be the one who will be reprimanded tomorrow." Emperor Zhengde laughed loudly, and Jiao Shizhi said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the people who have criticized me in the past two years Not a lot, and they can't really do anything to me, even those civil servants can't beat me, so why should I be angry?"

Emperor Zhengde sighed: "Your character is good, I can't do it, I would rather they end up beating me up."

Jiao Shi glanced up and down at the emperor, holding back his words.With the emperor's figure alone, even if those adults were not cowardly because of the emperor's status, they would never be stupid enough to fight.

Back in the Leopard Room, before Emperor Zhengde started correcting the memorial, Jiao Shizhi saw a memorial with a blue border, "Your Majesty, is there any news?" Emperor Zhengde glanced at Jiao Shizhi, There was also joy in his eyebrows, and he walked over to open it a few steps and read it. After reading three or two lines, he laughed and threw it into Jiao Shizhi's arms, "It's a good thing."

Jiao Shizhi took a rough look and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in this way, sea transportation will be possible."

Emperor Zhengde nodded, and after walking a few steps, his expression sank again, "It's really a headache to think about having to argue with those old men." Jiao Shizhi shook his head helplessly, but did not speak.Anyway, the relationship between the emperor and the courtiers is such a fraught situation. Although there are often bumps and bumps, they can still be integrated in the end, which is much better than what was originally imagined.

But now the chief assistant of the cabinet is no longer Liu Jian.At the end of the sixth year of Zhengde, Liu Jian had to recuperate at home many times because of physical discomfort. At the beginning of the seventh year of Zhengde, he begged for the elderly.Liu Jianfu went up again and begged to resign as the elder of the pavilion, but Emperor Zhengde refused. After repeated several times, he ordered Li Dongyang to temporarily take the position of chief assistant until today.

Except for Liu Jian, those in the cabinet are really not old men.

What Jiao Shizhi and Emperor Zhengde are talking about now is the matter of sea transportation proposed by Li Dongyang. , Privately sent a fleet to sea, because it was a test of the water, so he did not have any requirements for the fleet, so he remembered to collect information along the way, but unexpectedly gave him a surprise in the end.

In addition to the leading officials, there was also the eunuch Luo Xiang sent by Emperor Zhengde. This eunuch who also served the prince in the East Palace for several years only made one request to the emperor before leaving. The spare space on the ship was filled with silk and faille, and some special products of porcelain, and then set off.

And in the note that was sent today, it was played by Luo Xiang, and it summed up their itinerary in one stroke, with the focus all on the result.They went all the way west, reaching as far as Barga, where all the silk and satin they carried were exchanged for gold and some local specialties, and porcelain and other items were even bought at high prices as treasures.At the same time, Luo Xiang also marked at the end of the memorial that most of the countries along the way had heard of the name of Mingtu, but shipping needed capital support, and they were unable to continue. If they start from now on, there is a lot to do.

Emperor Zhengde said with a smile: "If Luo Xiang hadn't been sent out for a walk, I really don't know that this kid's mind is quite fast. If you really want to support this matter, you really have to set up a few institutions along the coast Responsible, but if such a place with oil and water is not properly placed, it will be turned into a mess, who is responsible and how to do it is another big problem."

"Your Majesty, compared to the fact that you couldn't do anything before, this has changed. Please don't worry, Your Majesty," Jiao Shizhi said.

Emperor Zhengde rubbed his nose and sat down by the desk, "If it wasn't for you not being able to leave the capital, I would be most at ease sending you to this matter. Right now, I must find a suitable candidate."

Jiao Shizhi said: "The emperor was still thinking about how to discuss with the cabinet just now, but now he is anxious about things that will take a long time." Facing Jiao Shizhi's ridicule, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, not being said at all. Feeling guilty, "I planned it before I acted. I have considered all aspects clearly so that nothing will happen, right?"

"Yes."

Jiao Shizhi said with a smile, watching Emperor Zhengde begin to correct the papers solemnly under his sight, and retreated from the room with a smile, before rushing to Beizhen Fusi to deal with affairs, he was in a very happy mood along the way, It wasn't until Liu Shengming hurried over after entering Beizhen Fusi that it was slightly destroyed.

Liu Shengming is usually a steady person, in charge of Beizhen Fusi's internal affairs, and usually looks indifferent, but today's haste, Jiao Shizhi had some bad associations.

"Lord Jiao, Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang are waiting for you in the outer hall."

Jiao Shizhi frowned, "Why did they come here?" The Zhang family had appeared too many times in front of his eyes during this time.

Liu Shengming bowed and said: "Zhang Yuanyuan is dead. The emperor asked me to take over this case three days ago. Just after the case was handed over, Zhang Yuanyuan's body is also here with us. They are here to demand someone."

Zhang Yuanyuan... Jiao Shizhi just remembered this matter. The emperor told him about it a few days ago, but at that time he remembered that the emperor meant to deal with it casually, and he didn't take it to heart. "Is it homicide or suicide?" He said to Liu Shengming while handing over the red dates to someone to take to the stable.

"The cause of death was drowning. No one witnessed this scene on the day of the incident. Judging from Zhang Yuanyuan's clothes and his autopsy, it should be suicide. But today when Marquis Shouning came to ask for someone, he told me to wait What it means to find out the truth..." Liu Shengming explained.

Jiao Shizhi said lightly: "This means that we must hand over a murderer?" Liu Shengming acquiesced.

They didn't talk much all the way, and went straight into the outer hall. The faces of Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou who had been sitting in the outer hall for half an hour were not very good-looking. When they saw Jiao Shizhi, Shouning Hou Zhang Heling snorted coldly. With a voice, "Master Jiao has made us wait for a long time, it's really hard to wait!"

Jiao Shizhi ignored this sentence, "The two princes are here, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yanling said coldly: "My nephew's death, what is Master Jiao going to tell us? He has been here for three days."

Jiao Shizhi said: "So it turns out that the two Marquises became Beizhen Fusi for you? Apart from the emperor, Beizhen Fusi never needs to explain to anyone!"

These words made the two Marquis furious, Zhang Yanling slapped the table, "How dare you, boy!" Several servants behind him immediately drew their swords.But before there was any action, all the guards who dared to draw their swords were kicked to the ground in a blink of an eye, and their right hands were all broken off. The Jin Yiwei who made the move quickly backed away and returned to the ranks of the murals.

Jiao Shizhi chuckled lightly and said, "I've never seen anyone who dared to draw a sword in Beizhen Fusi, and you are the first." He glanced at the wailing members of Zhang's family, and laughed again, "It must be two The Marquis is so familiar with me that he has forgotten where this place is and what authority I have. Liu Shengming, tell the two Marquis how to deal with them just based on their current actions." His slow voice made Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling feel cold behind their backs for some reason.

Liu Shengming took a step forward and said respectfully: "Beizhen Fusi can arrest, interrogate, execute, and execute all criminals on his own. If there is any doubt, he can take it down immediately without going through all judicial agencies. The two princes in Beizhen Fusi If you do something inside, you can be regarded as a suspect, you can be arrested immediately and brought to justice, and the decision will be made after the interrogation, and if you are not guilty, you can be released."

Zhang Heling looked stern, and forced himself to shout: "You are just a dog under the emperor's hands! But this Marquis is the emperor's uncle, how dare you wait for me? Don't say it's a fight, I'm going to beat you to death now On the spot, what can the emperor do to me!"

Jiao Shizhi's eyes moved slightly, and he clapped his hands and smiled without showing any anger, "You are right, I am just a dog under the emperor's seat, but look, does the emperor value me as a dog? Or does he value me?" Where's your uncle?" His voice changed abruptly, his voice was cold, "Come here, send the two Marquises to prison, and make them sober and clear about what kind of place this is!"

"Yes!"

When Jin Yiwei in the hall heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and rushed over like a wolf, and dragged the two out at once, turning a deaf ear to Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's angry curses.Jiao Shizhi rubbed his ears, and looked at Liu Shengming like a normal person, "Aside from this, there is nothing else, right? Don't worry about everything in the morning."

Liu Shengming looked at Jiao Shizhi with a calm face in confusion, and subconsciously said: "No, everything else is quite normal... Lord Zhenfu, those two, are you going to let them go like this?" He asked tentatively .

Jiao Shizhi waved his hand, "After all, it's Lord Hou. You can release him after two days of detention. How long do you want to stay?" He glanced at Liu Shengming with a half-smile.

Liu Shengming quickly said: "I don't mean that by being humble, but I want to ask you if you need to give them something, other things, such as quilts or something?" Lord Hou, how could it be possible to really imprison them for the rest of their lives.

Only then did Jiao Shizhi recall the environment of the imperial prison, but he still didn't let go, "No, everything will be done as usual. Also, check out Zhang Yuanyuan's affairs. If there is no problem, let them come out after they come out." Take it back, don't take up space here."

"Yes."

Liu Shengming sent the people into the yard, stood where he was and slapped his mouth. This Master Jiao looked gentle and gentle, and usually restrained them a lot, but he didn't expect that his attack would be a thunderous method, which is admirable.The two Marquis of the Zhang family looked menacing. They originally wanted to pressure them to give a result, but they didn't expect this to happen. It's probably the first time in their lives that they experience such a prison disaster.

He shook his head as he walked out of the courtyard, halfway through, he suddenly slapped his head, alas, if something happened to these two, wouldn't the person in the palace know about it? !

Didn't Queen Mother Zhang just know?She spent so much effort on the two younger brothers, how could she not even know about such a big matter, she was so angry that she almost fainted when she received the news, and once she calmed down, she immediately sent someone to the Leopard Room to find Emperor Zhengde, which was very frightening In any case, Emperor Zhengde must be recruited.

As soon as Emperor Zhengde entered the Kunning Palace, he was taken aback by Empress Dowager Zhang. He glanced at Aunt Mo who was helpless, and then said to Empress Dowager Zhang who was sitting by the bed and weeping: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Who is angry?" Zhu Houzhao didn't care as much about his uncle as Queen Mother Zhang, and he didn't know anything about Beizhen Fusi.

Empress Dowager Zhang was originally beautiful, but now that she is middle-aged, the charm between her eyebrows and eyes is still the same. When she shed tears, she still looks like a beauty.Although Emperor Zhengde had gradually become estranged from her over the years, when he saw his mother weeping, his heart skipped a beat, and he ran to the bed in two or three steps.

"Yes, I have been angered, would the emperor want to take that man's head for me now?" Queen Mother Zhang said bitterly, rubbing the veil in her hands as if she wanted to wring the veil.

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I can't kill people casually, you have to tell me what happened anyway?"

Empress Dowager Zhang said sharply: "Your mother is so popular that you still want to know what happened first?" Although Zhu Houzhao's voice was soft, he did not back down, "Mother, when you said this to me last time , I did as you said, but what was the result? You cover up the shame of the Zhang family, don't play around with the court affairs!"

The last time Empress Dowager Zhang did this was because the Zhang family was found to have encroached on more than 1 hectares of land during the Qingzhang operation, which was almost the largest of the year.The Zhang family came to beg Queen Mother Zhang, and Queen Mother Zhang came to ask Zhu Houzhao for an excuse, and almost coaxed him into making a promise. If Zhu Houzhao hadn't noticed something wrong in the middle, I really don't know what Queen Mother Zhang wanted the blank imperial decree with the jade seal on it!

Empress Dowager Zhang's momentum weakened a little, and seeing her son's angry face, she turned her head and began to cry again.Emperor Zhengde was made dizzy by the indistinct cries, so he had to go over to comfort him for a long time, and after Queen Mother Zhang stopped, he said: "Mother, what happened, you have to tell me anyway. .”

Empress Dowager Zhang said sadly: "A few days ago, I went remotely. Didn't I ask you to help with the investigation? The case was handed over to Beizhen Fusi. My two silly brothers were sad, so they wanted to come to ask. Unexpectedly, he was imprisoned by Jiao Shizhi! You said that Jiao Shizhi was just a mere governor, but he dared to touch your uncle. Isn't that a bit too courageous? Your two uncles are still I don't know how to suffer!"

When Emperor Zhengde heard that Shizhi was involved in this matter, his original casual expression suddenly changed, "You said that the two of them went to Beizhen Fusi?"

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded, "That's natural, otherwise where else can I go?" Seeing that Zhu Houzhao became serious, she thought he was starting to pay attention, but unexpectedly his next sentence became stricter, "Do you know Beizhen Fusi?" What is that place, you can ask it?!"

Empress Dowager Zhang was taken aback by Emperor Zhengde's words, "It's just to ask, why not?"

Emperor Zhengde laughed angrily at this sentence, shook his head and said: "Mother, let alone Beizhen Fusi, I won't even interfere too much when the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is adjudicating the case. Thinking of going to your door? I know the bad habits of these high-ranking officials and nobles. They always want to use their power to interfere in cases involving themselves, but it’s fine to go to other places on weekdays. They even made a fuss in Beizhen Fusi, you But you still let me deal with it in turn?"

"Mother, have you forgotten the reason why Beizhen Fusi is unique?"

Empress Dowager Zhang was a little confused by Zhu Houzhao's retorted question. After her eyes fell on the faint dragon pattern on Emperor Zhengde's clothes, she remembered what the late Emperor had said to her.

"This Beizhen Fusi is like my private soldier. He is closer than the commander, but also more shady. In order to ensure his independence, he cannot be involved with too many forces; and in order to maintain his deterrence, he will There can be no overriding forces, the speed of which is really difficult to judge..."

Emperor Hongzhi had said too many things to her. It should be said that the first emperor had almost nothing he could not say to her. Thinking of those words, it still seems to be ringing in my ears just now, without fading at all.

Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly realized that Emperor Xiandi and Emperor Zhengde were completely different people.If the matter had changed for the first emperor, he would have surrendered under her tears, but Zhu Houzhao has never let go.But how could she give up so easily, "Your Majesty, they are your uncles after all, you just look at my face, let's forget about it."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, "I believe that Shizhi is not a reckless person. The matter is definitely not as simple as you said. I will send someone to investigate this matter. If it is really not a big deal as you said, I will naturally let them go back. But if They behaved wrongly, and I will let it be dealt with appropriately."

"It's suitable, what kind of drug did Jiao Shizhi give you? It's him that makes you miss him!"

Empress Dowager Zhang became angry and blurted out.

Emperor Zhengde smiled lightly and stood up, "Mother, this matter has nothing to do with being responsible for Shizhi. But you are right, I do miss him, who said that when I was on the battlefield, he fought for me? It's him, not the Zhang family who live leisurely." He stepped back a few words, turned his head to look at Queen Mother Zhang, "Queen Mother, I still have unfinished court affairs, so I will take my leave."

Zhu Houzhao turned and went out without hesitation, completely ignoring the suddenly gloomy face of Queen Mother Zhang.

Behind him, Aunt Mo persuaded softly: "Empress Dowager, don't be so stubborn, the emperor's character is soft and not hard, if you do this, we can't talk anymore."

Empress Dowager Zhang said angrily: "I am his mother, do I have to consider my tone of voice when talking to him?! What is the reason for this?"

Aunt Mo is a bystander, so she sees it more clearly than she does. Whenever the empress dowager mentions matters about the Zhang family to the emperor, the emperor is always very impatient, and even because of the empress dowager's behavior all the time, he has become less and less fond of the Zhang family. .But the empress dowager realized this, but never took it to heart.

But the emperor is different from the late emperor. The late emperor was willing to pamper the empress dowager unconditionally, but the emperor obviously puts government affairs first. If the empress dowager has always been like this, it will be herself who suffers after all!

Aunt Mo has been serving the Empress Dowager for so many years, seeing that the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor is getting more and more tense, how can she not be in a hurry?But the Zhang family had an unresolved knot between the two of them, and now it has a tendency to be completely irresolvable.
