The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

It was already close to noon, and at this time, Zhang Fan and the other three came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace. Although today's goal was achieved, the Empress Dowager Li finally let it go, and immediately ordered Zhu Xuanqi It was a ruthless plan, but there was no happy expression on the faces of the three of them.

The three of them walked in silence until they reached an empty place in the palace, where there would never be a place where the walls had ears, then they stopped, but after the three of them stopped, they didn't say anything right away. Instead, they looked at each other like this, with helpless expressions on their faces. Obviously, the Palace of Compassion and Ning really caused them great trouble.

Zhang Fan went in and said so many things that even made Empress Dowager Li suspicious of him, but in the end, she finally persuaded Empress Dowager Li, but even so, Empress Dowager Li still didn't believe Zhu Xuanqi. It's normal, after all, Queen Mother Li didn't see this with her own eyes, she just heard Zhang Fan say it, and even though Zhang Fan was someone she trusted very much, she still couldn't fully believe such an important matter.

It's just that Zhang Fan's words also changed her thinking a lot, at least, from a thought that she couldn't let go of, to a tendency that she was willing to think that way.

However, Empress Dowager Li is a person who has survived all kinds of struggles in the palace and won. She understands the cruelty of it better than anyone else. Most importantly, these made her understand a truth, if If you can't become cruel, then it is equivalent to sending yourself into the fire pit. In short, it is a sentence, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Although it was a bit too much, for her, it was a very correct thing to kill her mistakes rather than let them go.

The reason why Queen Mother Li finally agreed with what Zhang Fan said was actually because she wanted to hand over a peaceful and prosperous age to Zhu Yijun. Therefore, for Queen Mother Li, if this matter can be so perfect Naturally, it would be the best if it could be resolved. Therefore, even though she still couldn't be completely relieved of what Zhang Fan said, she still agreed with Zhang Fan's words.

But this kind of worry is always lingering in Queen Mother Li's heart, so even if she agrees with Zhang Fan's words, there is no way to rest assured. Therefore, when agreeing to this matter, Queen Mother Li also brought it up. a condition.

But now, the three of Zhang Fan and the others have become so helpless, in fact, it is because of the condition proposed by Queen Mother Li. Although Zhang Fan and the others have no choice but to agree to this condition in the end, but for them Speaking of this, if this condition is the case, I am afraid that everything they have done will come to naught.

"You two think, will Zhu Xuanqi agree to the Queen Mother's condition?" After a moment of silence, Zhang Juzheng spoke first, but in fact, he really didn't want to say what he said, but now The current state of affairs is already like this, and there is no way to blindly escape. Besides, since this matter has been confirmed, there is no way to change it. For them, the tone is so self-pitying, it is better to speak out and discuss it. Better.

However, after this incident was revealed, the three of them were even more disappointed.

"Thinking about it, as long as Zhu Xuanqi's brain is fine, he probably won't agree," Feng Bao didn't even think about it, and just said that. Of course, these words were not what he wanted to say, but they were also There is no way to change the facts in front of us now.

"Although you say that, it's not easy for the queen mother to make such concessions," Zhang Fan said, although he was also very helpless, but that's the way things are now. "What's more, although the conditions proposed by the queen mother are really It's a bit harsh, but Zhu Xuanqi may not agree, there is still some hope, I don't think Zhu Xuanqi may not understand the truth of this, "

Zhang Fan's words silenced Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. Although they really wanted to agree with Zhang Fan's words, but for them now, they really don't know what will happen. The most important thing is what Empress Dowager Li said. This condition is too harsh for Zhu Xuanqi.

Just now in the Palace of Mercy Ning, the condition put forward by Empress Dowager Li is actually very simple, that is, to issue an edict to let Zhu Xuanqi go to Beijing, and not to bring any more troops except the guards with him, the soldiers under Zhu Xuanqi's command If Zhu Xuanqi dares to come to Beijing alone, then Empress Dowager Li will let him go, and this matter will be exposed, and no further questions will be asked.

But if Zhu Xuanqi didn't dare to accept the imperial edict and didn't come to the capital, it would mean that he had a ghost in his heart. If so, Empress Dowager Li would be ruthless.

Of course, this matter sounds extremely simple, but if it is really done, it will be even more difficult. With Zhu Xuanqi's current situation and what he has done before, if the Empress Dowager Li orders him If he goes to Beijing, what will he think in his heart? He will definitely think that this is the Empress Dowager Li who wants to trick him to the capital, and then do it again, or maybe put him under house arrest, no matter what kind of , He would not agree even if he thought about it.

In other words, the condition put forward by Queen Mother Li can be said to be deliberately difficult. This kind of thing, coupled with the current situation of Zhu Xuanqi, anyone can guess, but Queen Mother Li is so contrary. In other words, even if Zhu Xuanqi could imagine this kind of thing, he wouldn't dare to risk his life.

That is to say, the condition put forward by Empress Dowager Li is actually making things difficult for Zhu Xuanqi and wanting to punish Zhu Xuanqi. That is to say, even though Zhang Fan said so much, Empress Dowager Li is still unwilling to let Zhu Xuanqi go. .

But now, even though this matter has become such a difficult situation, Zhang Fan and the three of them have to accept it just like that. After all, this is the biggest concession that Queen Mother Li can make. The Empress Dowager in power said that it is not easy to do this. If you want to ask for it, it will be too much. Then, if you come, there will definitely be problems. In other words, this is what the Empress Dowager Li gave. Finally gave in.

But no matter how you think about this condition, it is almost impossible for Zhu Xuanqi to agree to it.

Although the conversations between Zhang Fan and Zhu Xuanqi have shown many times that Zhu Xuanqi really regretted doing that, it is still impossible for him to go to Beijing alone. It can be seen from this point that people went to round up Zhang Fan. Even though Zhu Xuanqi already knew that he had done something wrong and dared to admit it, his temper was still a little hot, and it was really impossible for him to agree to such a thing.

"Then what should we do now," Feng Bao thought for a while, and said, "Since the queen mother has already said so, I think it will not be long before she issues an edict, and we will see the outcome at that time."

"Otherwise, can this be done?" Zhang Juzheng said suddenly, "When the time comes, the edict will be sent to Zhu Xuanqi. Now the people in the palace who pass the edict are all from Eunuch Feng. Let the person who delivered the decree bring a message and tell Zhu Xuanqi all the things in it, if he knows, he won't refuse, right?"

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Zhang Fan listened to Zhang Juzheng's words, thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "If you do this, I am afraid that Zhu Xuanqi will not only refuse to agree, but also feel that the Queen Mother wants to harm him. Now, this is simply trying to cover up, how can he do this, he will never agree, "

Zhang Fan's words once again silenced the three of them. Indeed, what Zhang Fan said was not wrong at all. He obviously sent someone to let you go to the Hongmen Banquet, but in the end he told him that as long as he went, you would be fine. He won't kill him. If this kind of thing comes to anyone, he won't agree to it.

It may be true that it is difficult for a strong man, but on the other hand, Zhu Xuanqi forced Queen Mother Li to do this.

"At this point, it seems that we have no other way." Zhang Juzheng thought for a long time but couldn't think of any good way. "After the Queen Mother issued an edict, although we can't do that, I still need to trouble my father-in-law to appoint a trustworthy person." Only people can go, but this matter, you can't take the initiative to bring it up with Zhu Xuanqi, you can only talk about it if he asks, and what you said is not so clear, you have to let him figure it out by himself.

"For this matter, we have already thought of all the solutions we can think of. What will happen after that depends on Zhu Xuanqi's own good fortune."

Although these words are really a bit negative, they have to admit that they have already thought of all the ways they should think about now, and the current situation, although not good, is already much better than before. If this is the case, then we can only think of a way under this premise.

Of course, this so-called method is also extremely negative, it just depends on what Zhu Xuanqi thinks about this matter.

Zhang Fan and the three of them really didn't want the feeling that the success or failure of this kind of thing could not be controlled by themselves, but they had no other way.

"Yuande," Zhang Juzheng said, "Since this is the case, let's not think too much about it. By the way, since you have come back, come to my house for dinner tonight. I have something to tell you explain,"

"Okay, students go over at night," Zhang Fan also nodded, "Now I have to go to His Majesty's side. I think His Majesty already knows that I'm back. If I don't go, it's really disrespectful."

"Well," nodded.

The three of them dispersed helplessly.

The matter has been settled, of course, this is only for Zhang Fan and the others, what will happen in the end, this can only be left to fate,
