The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Fan and others saw the Queen Mother and wanted to persuade her to cancel the idea of ​​severely punishing Zhu Xuanqi, but Queen Mother Li did not intend to do so. In her opinion, leaving Zhu Xuanqi alone was a very big hidden danger, so Compared with the fact that Sichuan has caused a lot of trouble now, Empress Dowager Li doesn't want to see any more troubles caused by Zhu Xuanqi in the court in the future.

In this way, things became more difficult for Zhang Fan and the others. Although what the Empress Dowager Li said was good, if Zhu Xuanqi were to be attacked now, he would lose his throne, and would even lose his throne. He killed him. Indeed, Sichuan will be chaotic, but just as Empress Dowager Li said, the chaos in Sichuan is only temporary, as long as it can settle down, there will be no problem.

What's more, if Empress Dowager Li really did this, she would definitely put a very obedient person on the throne of the King of Shu, and I am afraid that if things really come to that time, the power of the King of Shu will be greatly reduced. Weakened, in the future, no matter what the person sitting on the throne of the King of Shu has in mind, it is impossible to cause any major troubles.

But these are also a trouble for Zhang Fan and the others. After all, if they do this, things will still become chaotic in the end. For them, it is best to solve this matter perfectly, even if There is something difficult to do in it, but the most important thing is that after it is done, there will be no chaos. Whether it is Zhu Xuanqi at every turn, not chaos is the key point. Whether it is Sichuan or the imperial court, nothing can be messed up.

Speaking of it, this is a very difficult thing.

For Empress Dowager Li, she wants to hand over a peaceful and prosperous world to Zhu Yijun who will be in charge in the future, so for Empress Dowager Li, this kind of thinking is exactly what she wants, without any trouble , whether it is Sichuan or the future court, there will be no chaos, so that the world will be handed over to Zhu Yijun, so that she can feel at ease.

But for Empress Dowager Li, no matter how much she thinks about this matter, she can't think of a perfect solution. No matter what Zhu Xuanqi says, I'm afraid he will make trouble in the future. If Zhu Xuanqi is severely punished, Sichuan is now There will be a ruckus.

As for this matter, Empress Dowager Li has been thinking about it for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the chaos now is much better than the chaos in the future, not to mention the chaos now. It's just a place in Sichuan, and it's just the chaos of those people from the lineage of the King of Shu. Even the chaos of these people will stir up chaos in the whole province of Sichuan, but to be honest, it's not a big problem.

And the chaos in the court in the future will be the most troublesome. At that time, I don't know what kind of means Zhu Xuanqi will do, so as not to make the court start to divide the sects into confrontations again, but I don't know how long it will take to get rid of it.

All in all, Empress Dowager Li made a balance on her own, and her final plan is to do it now. This small chaos is easy to settle, but big chaos is unacceptable. This is also the Queen Mother Li today, even in Feng Bao Under the persuasion of Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan, it was the reason why they were still unwilling to let go.

Speaking of which, Zhang Fan and the three of them naturally understood Queen Mother Li's thoughts, knowing why she was so unwilling to let go, but for Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, although they knew it, they had no way to persuade her Empress Dowager Li didn't know how to persuade her to give up.

But Zhang Fan is different. After all, this time, he was the only one who had the deepest contact with Zhu Xuanqi in the entire court from beginning to end. Even the Queen Mother Li now has all the evidence to put Zhu Xuanqi to death. Because of the credit for going to Sichuan.

Speaking of the understanding of this whole matter, I am afraid that if someone is randomly pulled out from the court and asked about other matters, that person can speak clearly and logically, and there will not be much difference, but if it comes to this matter, , if anyone knows Zhu Xuanqi best, it must be Zhang Fan.

This is also the reason why, when Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng persuaded the Empress Dowager Li, they did not persuade her to give up, but persuaded her to suppress her, at least wait until Zhang Fan came back, and explain the matter clearly before making a decision.

Although the two of them were not very confident, at least they still believed that Zhang Fan's return might change Queen Mother Li's mind.

But now that Zhang Fan is back, and he is in front of Queen Mother Li, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng don't know what to say, but seeing what Zhang Fan said, even if they can't be completely at ease, Also a little more at ease.

"Oh." Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Empress Dowager Li naturally became interested. "What can Aiqing do? Let the Ai family listen and see if it works." What Zhang Fan said was Li The result that the Empress Dowager wants to hear the most is that it will not cause chaos in Sichuan now, nor will it cause chaos in the future court. This is definitely the best way, but the Empress Dowager Li can't think of any way to It was so perfect, and since Zhang Fan had already spoken, she naturally wanted to know.

"Empress Dowager, that's the case," Zhang Fan said, "Before the Queen Mother sent me to Sichuan, I felt that there was a lot of trouble in my heart. Although I hadn't met Zhu Xuanqi himself at that time, his However, Weichen has also seen that memorial. Judging from that memorial, this Zhu Xuanqi is not an easy person, but he is very difficult, so Weichen has always been on the way to Sichuan. Thinking about how to deal with him.

"Even after Weichen has arrived in Chengdu, apart from dealing with the official affairs of the Chengdu Mansion, there is no sound at the Shu Palace. At that time, Weichen felt that this matter was more troublesome, so Weichen The minister even tried every means to create an opportunity to be in touch with the Shu Palace unintentionally.

"However, this opportunity came by a bit of a coincidence. All in all, I met Zhu Xuanqi, but this meeting was not what I thought in my heart. Zhu Xuanqi didn't mean his appearance. , but he really didn't give people that aggressive feeling, even on the contrary, Weichen felt that he was a little kind.

"Please don't misunderstand the Queen Mother, I will not be deceived by his few words, and besides, I still have the will of the Queen Mother, so I don't have much affection for him.

"Afterwards, when Weichen wanted to inquire about many things, Zhu Xuanqi did everything possible to obstruct Weichen in front of Weichen, but besides this, Weichen also discovered one thing. The reason why Zhu Xuanqi There were some reasons for the memorial at the meeting.

"I think the Queen Mother will investigate him a lot, and you should know about those things. Zhu Xuanqi has been disliked since he was a child, and now he has finally sat on the throne of the King of Shu. Maybe there are some things that are really disgraceful, but This is not important. After Zhu Xuanqi sat on the throne of the King of Shu, he was naturally high-spirited. He wanted to tell others that he was not the person he used to be, and that he could not be bullied by anyone. This made him a little arrogant, but After being a prince for so many years, he has become much better than before.

"Even the memorial, in fact, can't be all blamed on him. Although the memorial jointly signed by several vassal kings, the name of the first person wrote Zhu Xuanqi's name, but in fact, really The person who wanted to do this was not Zhu Xuanqi, but several other vassal princes. I don't know why, maybe the other princes looked down on His Majesty who was enthroned at a young age, or they felt that Zhu Xuanqi's power as a vassal king is far greater than theirs, so maybe he is upset, but it is definitely not Zhu Xuanqi who took the lead. Speaking of which, Zhu Xuanqi was deceived by them.

"Wei Chen has been in the Shu Palace for so many years, and I have heard Zhu Xuanqi mention this matter more than once. Maybe Zhu Xuanqi wanted to deceive Wei Chen and said so on purpose, but Wei Chen felt that he didn't see any flaws.

"Of course, no matter whether Zhu Xuanqi was deceived by other lords to do such a thing, he must have such thoughts in his heart, otherwise he would not have agreed, but Wei Chen feels that since he already knows that he regrets, he wants to You have to repent, if the Empress Dowager wants to punish him severely, it is unnecessary."

"The Ai family believes what Aiqing said." After hearing Zhang Fan's big words, the Queen Mother Li was silent for a long time, and said, "It's just that if Zhu Xuanqi really planned to repent, why did he know that Zhang Fan would repent?" After the genealogy and Zhu Xuanluo have arrived in the capital, they will send an army under his command to round up Aiqing."

"It's something that can't be helped." Speaking of this matter, Zhang Fan smiled helplessly, "Just imagine, no matter whether Zhu Xuanqi repents or not, if he knows that someone is here to use him, he will not think about it." Let him go, this kind of thing, let alone Zhu Xuanqi, I am afraid that another person would do the same, "

"You are very selfless," Empress Dowager Li suddenly changed her voice and became extremely stern, "Then Zhu Xuanqi did what he did, and he didn't hesitate to want to be regent, even for you, he wanted to kill you quickly, but you Saying good things for him so much, among them, I can't help but make Aijia a little confused."

"Empress Dowager," Zhang Fan knelt down immediately after hearing what Empress Dowager Li said, "All of this is for the sake of the imperial court, and I don't care about it at all. As long as the world is not chaotic, this is a humble minister. Empress Dowager Wanwang clearly sees what you want, "

By Zhang Fan's side, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other in dismay, both of them knew it in their hearts, but they couldn't do anything.

And Empress Dowager Li sat there, looking at Zhang Fan who was kneeling, and after a long time, she finally said: "Since this is the case, the Ai family will trust you once."

Hearing what Empress Dowager Li said, not only Zhang Fan, but also Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao beside him became happy.

"It's just," Empress Dowager Li said before they were happy for a while, "The Ai family has a condition for this matter."
