The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

After the death of Emperor Longqing Zhu Zaihou.Empress Chen was revered as empress dowager Rensheng.Live in Ciqing Palace.After hesitation, Queen Mother Chen has always been weak and sick.Longqing three years again.Almost didn't make it through.

now.Empress Dowager Chen, who lived in Ciqing Palace, had nothing to do on weekdays.It rarely appears in front of people's eyes.Although Zhu Yijun was not born to her.But Zhu Yijun also respects and loves the queen mother very much.No different from the birth mother.Every morning, I will go to Ciqing Palace to pay my respects.

and.Empress Dowager Chen also has no heirs.So she also treats Zhu Yijun as her own.He is very happy to hear his footsteps every day.certainly.Perhaps it is also because she has no children.This is a very gentle but sickly queen.I have never been treated with envy by others.

It is precisely because she did not leave any heirs for Long Qing.And without heirs, there will be no disputes.not to mention.Even if other noble concubines want to replace it.It is bound to have an heir to have such an idea.But there is not only one concubine.Even one thought.The other wouldn't agree either.so.No one went back to trouble her.And she went from queen to queen mother.They all passed in peace.

All in all.This place is Ciqing Palace.It is not lively on weekdays.It can even be said to be a little deserted.people who come here.There are only the little emperor Zhu Yijun, Queen Mother Li and the princess who came to visit.

And over there.After the death of Concubine Li Gui in Longqing.She was honored as the empress dowager.Live in Cining Palace.Compared with Ciqing Palace.The weather in the Compassionate Ning Palace is quite different.It can be said to be very lively.If it weren't for the fact that carriages and horses are not allowed in the palace.It can be described as crowded.

After all.It's just a word of rights.It is because Queen Mother Li has power.Now the whole world.She is almost the woman who has the final say.Don't look at how powerful people like Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng are now.These were also given to them by Queen Mother Li.

certainly.Empress Dowager Lee's rise to power did not feel inappropriate.She is different from Lu Zhi or Wu Zhao.I don't want to be a woman who dominates the world in front of people.And in fact.Comments on Queen Mother Li in the future.It can be said that it has always been praised.It is the representative of the empress dowager who "mothered the world" in history.Participate in politics without chaos.Bingguo is not greedy for power.

And in fact.It seems to be in the Ming Dynasty.There are many such women.From the founding Queen Ma to the present.Both appear.Of course it can be maintained in the future.That's pretty hard to say.

all in all.Empress Dowager Li is now in power.So the Compassionate Ning Palace where she lives is also very lively.This situation also breaks the previous pattern.After all, whether it is a concubine, queen, or queen mother.They are all in the palace.The emperor's family.And the ministers went to see these imperial family members.And it's female again.It's really inappropriate.But for Queen Mother Li.This one is obviously not established.

every day.Many people came here to see her.It also has various purposes.Some are for national affairs.Some are for their own private affairs.What's more, she just wanted to find an opportunity to leave an impression in front of her, who is now in power.In short.various purposes.There are above board.There are also those that cannot be placed on the countertop.Now it seems that they are all concentrated in this very dignified palace.

When Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan arrived.Zhu Yijun was already here.He was talking to Empress Dowager Li.Feng Bao was also present.But he looks like an idler.Standing aside with a smile.It seems as long as no one calls him.He also won't do anything.

there.The emperor and queen mother who were talking saw Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan coming together.Naturally, he turned his gaze.

"What is Zhang Aiqing doing here at Ai's house?" Queen Mother Li waited for the two to greet.asked Zhang Juzheng.

"Go back to the Queen Mother." Zhang Juzheng said. "Master Pan, who is going to Henan to control the water, has submitted a report. The money that should be used to control the water in Henan has also been reported."

"Yeah. The Ai family just heard about this matter from the emperor." Empress Dowager Li nodded.Said. "I heard that the flood in Henan this time caused a lot of damage. Fortunately, no people died because of it. It is really a good thing. How about it? How much money is needed."

"The water control needs 50 taels." Zhang Juzheng said. "Hesitantly, this flood is not small. It has affected many states and counties. In addition, countless fertile fields have been submerged. It is estimated that after the flood control, it will take another 50 taels."

"Just one place in Henan needs millions of taels." When Queen Mother Li said this.The brow is also slightly wrinkled.But she soon stretched out. "However, there is no way to do this. What happened yesterday has made Aijia very sad. Now we can't let this happen again in other places. Although there are still cases in Nanzhili and Shandong that I don't know .How much money should be used has not yet come up. But since Henan has arrived, there should be no delay. The money should be allocated as soon as possible.”

"The queen mother is kind. The queen mother is holy." Zhang Juzheng said. "It's just that Weichen came here this time. It's not just for this matter."

"Oh. That Ai Qing is..."

"It was last time. It was mentioned by Wei Chen. About the matter of "Tao Cheng Fa"." Zhang Juzheng was also very straightforward.In the face of Queen Mother Li's inquiry, he said so.And actually.This is not the first time he has mentioned this matter to Queen Mother Li.There is no need to do those cover-ups now.

"That matter." Hearing what Zhang Juzheng said.Empress Dowager Li also understood. "The Qing family has already mentioned it to the Ai family before. The Ai family has also thought about it these days. Now that the Qing family has asked, the Ai family will tell you. The method of the Qing family's "Testing into the Law" is indeed good. .And the method used in it is also very good. If it can be used, there may be those who do not believe in evil and dare to commit crimes for the first time. But I am afraid that very few people will dare to do it the second time. If I want the Ai family to say it. This is really a good thing. However, the Ai family still has some doubts in my heart. I want the Qing family to answer."

"The queen mother still asks." Although Zhang Juzheng heard a lot of words like "but".But of course he could hear it.Empress Dowager Li agrees with him in general.This can not help but greatly increase Zhang Juzheng's confidence.

"Everything else is easy to say. Just one thing." Queen Mother Li asked. "How can the Qing family guarantee it? Those officials who implement this law will not do anything. The Ai family does not mean the people below. It is the people above. For example, those who keep these three account books. You know. The Qing family The most important thing to say is these three account books. If someone tampers with it, wouldn't it be empty."

"What the queen mother said is very true." Zhang Juzheng said. "This question. Wei Chen has naturally thought about it."

"Oh." Listen to what Zhang Juzheng said.Empress Dowager Li suddenly became interested.asked. "Since the Qing family has already thought about it, they will find a solution if they think about it. Let the Ai family listen to it."

"Queen." Zhang Juzheng said. "The so-called test method is actually an assessment of officials' achievements. Although it is not regular. But with regard to political achievements, there is really no problem in a short period of time. But as the world goes on, many people will not go to the office. Always thinking about tampering. When the time comes, it will be too late to change. But now, I am embracing the matter of water control. The world is indeed a bit short. There must be many people who will miss it. But I am I don't think there will be any problems here.

"Let's take the three account books. One is submitted to the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the bottom book. I think no one will doubt the reputation of Mr. Ge in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. That account book is placed with Mr. Ge. It will not Some people are worried."

When it comes to this.The others present were as usual.Nothing has changed.But Zhang Fan discovered it inadvertently.Zhang Juzheng is at this moment.Especially when it comes to Ge Shouli's name.His eyes flickered.immediately.Zhang Fan understood.Turning to look at Zhu Yijun.Sure enough, I found out.Zhu Yijun was looking at Zhang Juzheng.And there was some doubt in his eyes.

See here.Zhang Fan couldn't help feeling amused.The last time Zhang Juzheng told Zhu Yijun himself.Ge Shouli is not a seasoned minister.Now he says so.It's almost like slapping your own mouth.No wonder the little emperor Zhu Yijun was puzzled.

"Ge Aiqing's character. Naturally, the Ai family can be trusted." Empress Dowager Li nodded.Said. "However. After all, there are three account books. Give them to three places. The one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate alone may not be enough."

"What the queen mother said is right." Ge Shouli said. "The other two account books. One is kept by the Sixth Division. The last one is submitted to the cabinet. With the consistent style of the Sixth Division. I believe the Queen Mother can trust it. And in the cabinet, there are ministers. They will definitely be strictly guarded. .

"Wait until the final inspection. Open the three account books and check them. If there is any discrepancy, it will be clear at a glance. Whoever wants to do something wrong can only make one at most. I don't believe that anyone can have three books. They all did tricks.

"And then, based on the things recorded in the account books, review the relevant officials one by one. If there is any problem, you will be able to see the clue immediately."

"Yes. What the Qing family said is not bad." Empress Dowager Li listened to Ge Shouli's words very seriously.Said. "Actually, the Ai family is not at ease about this. Now that I have heard what the Qing family said, I understand. If this is the case, the Ai family will agree with this matter."

"Thank you Queen Mother." Zhang Juzheng heard that Queen Mother Li agreed to this matter.Naturally, I am very happy.Hurry up and thank you.

"I don't know that Taifu Zhang has also come here recently. What's the matter." Empress Dowager Li turned her face to Zhang Fan.asked.

"The Queen Mother. The minister came here. It was also because of the flood." Zhang Fan said. "However, what Wei Chen cares about is nothing else. It's money."
