The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Following the eunuch's voice of "The Queen Mother is here", Zhang Fan quickly corrected his posture. He even looked at Zhu Yijun, and wiped away some of the tears remaining at the corners of his eyes with his cuff. No matter what Zhu Yijun said, as long as he looked at it, he could tell that he had just cried, but after all, he was much better than before.

For what Zhang Fan has done for him, Zhu Yijun is grateful from the bottom of his heart, especially at this time, when he feels that so many people are going against him, and Zhang Fan is the first to know to stand up Protecting himself, whether it is hugging himself and rushing out of that unfavorable situation, or comforting himself, or just trying to make himself not too embarrassing in front of his mother, in short, Zhang Fan always Under the circumstances, he was the first to stand up and do this to Zhu Yijun.

Maybe it's just Zhang Fan's unintentional doing, and he himself never thought about whether there is any purpose in doing these things, but, it is true, Zhang Fan did this to make Zhu Yijun feel sorry for him. His emotions, whether it's goodwill, trust, or what can be said to be dependent, have become deeper.

Zhang Fan did not expect this situation at all, nor did he discover it.

This is also why it is said that planting flowers intentionally but not blooming, but unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade, this is exactly the same as Zhang Fan's current situation. He did not ask for anything in return, but was simply thinking about Zhu Yijun, but his No one knows what kind of fortune this kind of behavior will bring him in the future.

The room on this side was just ready when the door on the other side was opened. The eunuchs and maids who led the way came in first, and then the empress dowager Li, who was dressed luxuriously and dignifiedly, also came in. In other words, Li Although the queen mother is now the queen mother, but after careful calculation, when he gave birth to Zhu Yijun, he was no more than that. Now Zhu Yijun is ten years old, and Queen Mother Li is only 28 years old.

Although it is said that as a queen mother, one must be beautiful and dignified, and the queen mother Li is really like this, and her expression is always so serious, especially since she became the queen mother, but she is still a beautiful woman after all. Girl of Zhiyan, you must know that the Empress Dowager Li was just a court lady who served Zhu Zaihou in Prince Yu's mansion. According to his habit, the women he can admire are naturally very beautiful.

But now, according to her current status and power in Li Caifeng's hands, even if she has the most beautiful face in the world, in the eyes of others, she still has to be bowed down, so there is no desire to covet her. Although Zhang Fan said that he was not too afraid of her, he never had any unreasonable thoughts about her.

Now that Empress Dowager Li has arrived, and the voices of the ministers outside have not stopped, it can be seen that Empress Dowager Li came in through the side door of Qianqing Palace.

"My humble minister, Zhang Fan, kowtow to the Empress Dowager." Seeing the Empress Dowager Li walking in, Zhang Fan quickly knelt on the ground and saluted.

"The son pays homage to the queen mother," Zhu Yijun also quickly stood up and saluted the queen mother.

"Get up," Empress Dowager Li said lightly, then walked to the seat next to Zhu Yijun and sat down.

During this period, she didn't say a word, and she didn't even look at it a few times. In this situation, Zhang Fan was better, but Zhu Yijun had a look of displeasure.

"Everyone else go down, Aijia wants to have a good talk with His Majesty," Empress Dowager Li ordered, then turned to Zhang Fan and said, "Zhang Aiqing, pass on the Aijia's word of mouth that all those people outside should go back to Aijia. , if someone dares not to listen, let your Jin Yiwei directly pull them away, the imperial staff will be twenty, and then throw them out of the palace gate for the Ai family."

"...Yes" Faced with the Queen Mother Li's order, although Zhang Fan was reluctant in his heart, he could only accept the order now.

When he came to the Qianqing Gate, the ministers kept shouting something, even many people were kneeling on the ground, talking non-stop. Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan felt a headache, Zhang Fan Fan could even see the figure of his father-in-law Chen Wenchuan in it, which made Zhang Fan even more headache.

This group of people yelled for a long time, but no one in charge came out to listen to him. They were very impatient. Now that Zhang Fan was standing in front of them, they seemed to have seen their target, and began to concentrate their firepower on Zhang Fan again. up.

"Send the Queen Mother's order," Zhang Fan didn't listen to what these people were saying, but suffocated his energy and shouted loudly.

Not to mention, I don't know if Zhang Fan's voice is really loud, or if the words "Empress Dowager" carry more weight, anyway, after Zhang Fan's voice was uttered, these people stopped talking , all looked at Zhang Fan.

"Let all the lovers go back," Zhang Fan continued.

Yes, it is true that Empress Dowager Li is in power now, but when these people just felt motivated, how could they turn around and leave because of such a sentence.

Of course it's impossible, what else do they want to say.

"If," Zhang Fan saw that they were going to continue talking, he hurriedly said, "If someone dares to be disobedient, the staff will be twenty and thrown out of the palace gate."

As soon as Zhang Fan's words fell, more than a hundred guards walked quickly outside the Qianqing Gate, standing on both sides of these ministers.

To say that literati have integrity and are not afraid of death is actually not the case at all. So many guards came and surrounded these ministers, which indeed made them shut their mouths if they wanted to speak.

However, many literati are irrational. They always feel that as long as the truth they hold in their hearts is correct, no one in the world can touch them.

No, although Zhang Fan said so, and the guards came to wait for someone to hit the board, but these guys still seemed to think that they would not end up in that kind of end, and some people still wanted to talk.

"Master Liu, Zhang Fan is your junior, and he also understands the grievances in Master Liu's heart," Zhang Fan said to Liu Sijie, the deputy capital censor who was about to speak again, the serious look on his face that conveyed the oral order just now was gone. , with a completely persuasive look, "Master Liu, please shut up, or else...Master Liu is not young anymore, and Feng Bao has the final say over there, these twenty court sticks are not just a joke ,"

That's right, beating the court staff of the ministers has always been imprisoned together by the eunuch of the chief inspector of ceremonies and the governor of the Jinyiwei. Strong and strong, but there is one thing, no matter whether the executioner is a eunuch or a Jin Yiwei, they all have to obey the command of the eunuch who is in charge of the sentence.

Now, Feng Bao is the eunuch in charge of the chief of ceremonies, and now, these people have really annoyed Feng Bao, Zhang Fan is worried, if some of these people are taken away, the twenty court sticks will definitely be a matter of seeing the King of Hades up.

"I don't believe it." Liu Sijie was very calm. He looked at Zhang Fan and said without fear in his eyes, "You Zhang Fan is also a scholar, and what you do on weekdays is considered fair. You never frame Zhongliang. Master Lian Ge also praises you very much on weekdays, I don't believe you would do that,"

Facing Liu Sijie's words, Zhang Fan could only smile wryly: "Master Liu, although we don't have a deep friendship, Master Liu knows me, Zhang Fan, very well. It's true, even if the empress dowager has a decree, I, Zhang Fan, can't do it." I watched everyone go to die, but this time, I can't do anything."

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, these people thought he was just trying to fool them at first, but the expression on Zhang Fan's face really didn't look like he was fooling them.

"All the ministers heard the empress dowager's edict just now," Zhang Fan said, "Although the people around the ministers are Jin Yiwei under my command, they are not called by me, they are the empress dowager."

When Zhang Fan said this, this group of people all understood, and some people also showed a trace of fear in their eyes.

Zhang Fan's words are already very obvious. Anyone who wants to make trouble should be arrested, but this is not Zhang Fan pointing at the troublemaker and saying to arrest him. Since these guards were summoned by Queen Mother Li, then Obviously, these people already had an order, and if any of the ministers present dared to be disobedient, they would arrest them by themselves.

"My lords, please think about it," Zhang Fan continued, "I also understand in my heart that all my lords are trying to seek justice for Mr. Ge. Mr. Ge has repeatedly tried to calm the court down. If so, wouldn’t it be following other people’s wishes again?”

Zhang Fan can only say this now, he said this at the risk of breaking with Feng Bao, but now, he can't do otherwise.

Although these ministers have been moved by Zhang Fan's words just now, besides, although they say that they are not afraid of death, there are a few people who are really not afraid of death, but if they are allowed to go back like this, it will really make people feel uncomfortable. They felt that it was too embarrassing. Zhang Fan said that because he wanted to find a step for them to go down.

If you want to say that it is nothing to simply get a few boards, you can still get the reputation of "lasting fame through the ages", but now, if you go there, you may not be able to come back. Under the circumstances, who would dare to take risks.

That's right, let you go back, not to let you live in mediocrity, but to stop Feng Bao from being complacent.

In short, Zhang Fan made sense of this group's behavior, and turned around to leave.

Watching these people leave, Zhang Fan also heaved a long sigh of relief. If they continued to make trouble, Zhang Fan couldn't imagine what would happen today.

"Master Zhang," at this time, a little eunuch came behind Zhang Fan, "The Empress Dowager told you to go there,"

Zhang Fan nodded and followed him, but he didn't know what the Empress Dowager Li wanted to do with him.
