Chapter 491
Inside Renshou Palace.

The two brothers of the Zhang family, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, took advantage of the opportunity of entering the palace to greet the Queen Mother Zhang, and poured out bitterness in front of their sister.

"...Why are we still just marquises, not princes? Why does Zhang Lun have the power to control the Beijing camp? Both Yan Ling and I have been supported by him? Now the emperor can be regarded as an adopted son. Come here to be my sister's son? In this way, he is still our nephew, why does he want to hand over the military power to outsiders?"

Zhang Heling was very angry.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Zhang family brothers had been silent for a while and did not cause trouble in the capital.

This is according to Queen Mother Zhang's request, waiting for the reward at home. After all, the Zhang family has contributed to supporting the new emperor.

Also, Empress Dowager Zhang was afraid that her two younger brothers would cause trouble, so even herself, the Empress Dowager, was not easy to speak out when the throne was changing.

But how can the Zhang family brothers stop for a long time?
In particular, they found that the best fat post in the five-army governor's mansion, the post of Beijing camp garrison, fell into the hands of the British Duke Zhang Lun, and they couldn't sit still.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "How can I, a woman, interfere with the affairs of the court? Besides, with your qualifications, how can you entrust the safety of the capital to your hands?"

Zhang Yanling next to him said in a choked voice: "Who has the military power? Doesn't it depend on who is closer to the emperor? This means that our brothers are not as loyal to the court as the bastards of the British public? We are all from our own family, and only outsiders disturb our court. Tang's ambition, there is no reason for one's own family to harm one's own family!"

Empress Dowager Zhang was very helpless.

Although the elder sister has always favored the younger brother, even when her husband and son were in power, at most they would give the two younger brothers some money, land and houses, and salt and other things if they could. It is difficult for the younger brother to take on the big responsibility, and he also thinks that there is no need to put the two younger brothers in danger.

Only courtiers have always worked for the royal family. How can there be any reason for the queen or queen mother to let the two younger brothers go to battle in person?Besides, their abilities...it's really hard to describe.

Now that the new emperor is enthroned, the Empress Dowager Zhang realizes that she has no right to speak at all. The little emperor will not enter the palace to look at her even if he goes to greet her routinely outside the palace. "Wang Dafei" was received from the capital to be the queen mother.

How can the palace accommodate two empress dowagers?
If Princess Jiang arrives in the capital, who is the mother of the new emperor?
"I will ask His Majesty later to give you some more land, so you don't have to worry about it, and I will arrange suitable positions for you at that time."

Queen Mother Zhang tried her best to appease the two younger brothers.

Zhang Heling shook his sleeves and said: "No, even if we don't give us the power to control the Beijing camp, at least we should be given the hundreds of official houses outside Chongwen Gate... We deserve it!"

"Correct!"

Zhang Yanling assisted.

Empress Dowager Zhang was a little annoyed.

You two have quite a big appetite, and you want hundreds of government houses. Do you want to give you the palace as well?
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Let's discuss this matter again."

Zhang Heling said: "The surname Yang has abolished Huangzhuang, Tuanlian, etc., leaving so many government houses empty, why keep them? Besides, what we want is not a house in the city. Are a few houses outside the city very valuable?" ? When foreign barbarians attacked the capital, they might be set on fire... In short, my sister must get it for us, otherwise we won't be leaving today!"

When the two brothers said "sit", they raised their legs and did not regard themselves as outsiders at all.

Empress Dowager Zhang said angrily: "If I can help you fight, I will tell you for you. If you don't leave, your Majesty will find out that you will be punished. Don't talk about the farm, I'm afraid you will have to bear it! Go back and find a time for me." I will mention it to His Majesty!"

……

……

Queen Mother Zhang threatened and lured her, and coaxed them for a long time before getting the Zhang brothers to agree to go home and wait.

As soon as he came out of Renshou Palace, the two of them saw their old acquaintance Zhang Yong after walking not far.

Zhang Yong was taken aback when he saw the Zhang family brothers, and said in shock: "Ah! Two uncles, how did you two enter the palace? It's not like before, but you have received your majesty's royal approval? This... If this Let His Majesty know..."

Zhang Yanling sneered endlessly: "Since we were able to come before, why can't our brothers come now? The previous emperor was our nephew, but now this is someone else's nephew? I said the surname is Zhang. Why don't you see your family in the capital recently?" Loitering? I heard that your family members will lose their titles... It's really embarrassing."

Zhang Yong didn't know how to face these two domineering relatives.

During the Hongzhi Dynasty, Empress Zhang favored the Sixth Palace alone. The brothers of the Zhang family entered the palace as if they were in their own back garden. In the palace, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others don't like to care about the Zhang brothers, they are afraid of their lives. These two guys are obviously brainless, and they are greedy and lustful.
The final result is that the Zhang family brothers have been able to enter and leave the palace unimpeded in the past few years.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the two brothers don't seem to feel any loss of power at all, and they continue to do things in their own way, unscrupulous.

Zhang Yong hurried over and said: "Uncle Guo, there are many nobles in the inner garden of the palace. In the future, His Majesty will confer queens and concubines. This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"What's inappropriate? It's like the big nephew in front of us didn't have a registered queen and no concubine. Didn't we come in as usual? I said the surname Zhang, are you deliberately making things difficult for us just to cater to the surname Yang? "

Zhang Heling fired at Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong pondered for a while before realizing that the "surname Yang" mentioned by the Zhang family brothers was Yang Tinghe, and said with a wry smile: "We have something to say on the palace road, this is not the place to talk."

……

……

The Zhang family brothers followed Zhang Yong out of the palace from Donghua Gate.

As for the news of Zhang's brothers entering the palace, how could Zhu Si, who is the main lord of the palace, not know?Zhu Si specially sent Zhang Zuo to take two young eunuchs from Xingwang's mansion to check the situation from a distance.

Zhang Yong originally wanted to take the attitude of "The Empress Dowager Zhang summoned the two younger brothers into the palace and said that after the incident, she would send eunuchs to send them out of the palace", and accompanied the Zhang family brothers out of the palace. When he saw the new emperor sizing up from a distance, Zhang Yong Scalp feels tingly.

Unexpectedly, there was no conflict.

After Zhang Zuo discovered that the Zhang family brothers were indeed heading towards the palace gate, he returned to Qianqing Palace and told Zhu Si what he had seen and heard.

Zhu Si said casually: "Understood, step back."

At this time, Zhu Si had a lot of memorials in front of him. Perhaps he had just become the emperor, and he was not fresh enough. He liked the feeling of being the emperor giving orders. In addition, Zhu Youzhao and Zhu Hao had instilled in him a lot of ideas that he should do things himself. It made him feel that it was very irresponsible to hand over the power of Zhu Pi to the eunuch, the supervisor of ceremonies, and it was easy to be fooled by others, so he wanted to come in person.

But there are too many memorials in the world, not every memorial has the meaning of reviewing, just look at the reports of those officials, especially when encountering poorly written or weird ones, or those who strive for gorgeous diction …After spending a long time, I finally read it and understood it, only to realize that it was just a sycophant.

This is very annoying.

Seeing Zhu Si's easy-going attitude, Zhang Zuo didn't seem to be angry, so he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to restrict the entry of irrelevant people? Especially... foreign relatives?"

Zhu Sidao: "Zhu Hao said about this before. It doesn't make much sense to restrict the Zhang brothers when they first came up. Anyway, I haven't got married yet. If he likes to come, let them be embarrassed. It's better to spread the word that they behave badly." Let people know how presumptuous they are, and prepare for the eradication in one fell swoop in the future."

"Uh……"

Zhang Zuo thought to himself, can he still do this?

Not restricting, but promoting it?Where is the majesty of the emperor?

Zhu Si said again: "On the contrary, they can use the fact that they can enter the palace at any time to make people feel that I am easy to bully, so as to show weakness in front of the cabinet ministers. This is to prepare for a long-term plan. By the way, with Yuan Changshi... Yuan What did the servant say? Did he agree to join the cabinet and help me supervise the cabinet ministers?"

Zhang Zuo came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Shilang has notified him, but he has not expressed his position."

Zhu Si sighed: "I knew that Yuan Shilang might not listen to me. There is really no way. He is also a civil servant. He is very old and wants to make a good reputation in the future. How can he help me wholeheartedly? If Zhu Hao can enter the cabinet earlier Well, with Zhu Hao in the cabinet, I believe it will be enough for Yang Ge and the others to drink a pot."

While Zhang Zuo was surprised by the new emperor's trust in Zhu Hao, he reminded: "Your Majesty, you must call me."

"My own people, what do you see outside?"

Today's Zhu Si has no airs in front of Zhang Zuo, "By the way, hurry up and ask Zhu Hao, I... how can I go in and out of the palace at any time without being discovered, these days in the palace are really boring, I want to go out and talk to you." When I meet him, I miss him... and Mr. Tang and the others."

Zhang Zuo saluted: "The old slave will go and tell Mr. Zhu when he turns around."

"Don't look back, go now, and ask about the palace exam... I don't want others to ask questions, and then I will be like a puppet. Although I am not the emperor at the time of the exam, since I will preside over the palace exam, the examinee It's my student, I want to come up with questions for the school myself...but I can't come up with good questions, let Zhu Hao help me come up with the questions..."

Zhu Si's words made Zhang Zuo dumbfounded.

Really play.

Let a gongshi who is about to take part in the palace examination come up with questions to test all the gongshi in the school?Self-made questions to test yourself?This operation...

"Why are you standing there? Hurry up, but be careful, don't let anyone find out, let Lu Song accompany you, oh yes, and hand over the contents of this box to Zhu Hao, let him imitate me I know he has this ability, so let him make a list for me if there are any important points, so that I don't have to read it myself..."

After Zhang Zuo opened a large box next to Zhu Si, he was surprised to find that it was full of memorials.

Zhang Zuo suddenly became unhappy.

Is this going to hand over the memorial to Zhu Hao to wear red?
But the problem is that I am the eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies, shouldn't I do this?
"By the way, you have time to learn more from Zhu Hao, and learn the real skills from him. If you can't finish these critiques tonight, you can stay to help and ask Zhu Hao for anything you don't understand! Go ahead. !"

Zhu Si gave Zhang Zuo some advice.
