Chapter 376

"Didn't I say that I'm not feeling well? I didn't even go to the court meeting today. I won't go back to my mother's side!"

Emperor Wanli replied anxiously in the imperial study. Zhang Cheng sighed in his heart, and took another small step back. Not long after, someone outside raised his voice and said:
"Long Live Lord, the Empress Dowager Cisheng said that even if Long Live Lord is not feeling well, please go to the Compassion Ning Palace to recuperate."

Emperor Wanli's face suddenly collapsed, he looked back at Zhang Cheng, and asked hesitantly:
"Banban Zhang?"

"Long Live Lord, since the Empress Dowager is summoning you, let's go."

Zhang Cheng replied softly. Seeing Emperor Wanli's vaguely fearful expression, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said in a lower voice:

"The Empress Dowager is His Majesty's mother, nothing will happen."

Wanli got up hesitantly, Zhang Cheng walked in front of him and opened the door of the imperial study, there were more than a dozen eunuchs waiting respectfully outside the door, one of them was the eunuch in charge of the Compassionate Ning Palace, when the emperor went out, Qiqi Kneeling down to say hello, the eunuch in charge got up and raised the car curtain and said with a smile:

"Please, Lord Long Live, please get on the sedan chair. The Empress Dowager is waiting for Lord Long Live!"

At this time, Emperor Wanli was rather calm and reserved, and stepped onto the soft sedan chair. The eunuch of the Compassionate Ning Palace exchanged glances with Zhang Cheng who came out, and nodded to each other.

***********
What Wanli was familiar with in the Palace of Compassion and Peace could not be more familiar. When he got off the sedan chair, all the etiquettes were as usual, and there was nothing wrong with it, but Wanli was very disturbed in his heart.

Looking around, whether it was the eunuch who accompanied him or the man with the knife who followed, although they were familiar faces, there was no one who could rest assured. Zhao Jinliang was recuperating, and this was the only caring person he could entrust. The reason for the injury is not to be mentioned.

As Emperor Wanli passed by, the eunuchs and maids knelt down to say hello, some shouted loudly, and some pushed open the door of the Palace of Compassion, and Emperor Wanli walked in.

The hall is spacious and magnificent. Emperor Wanli walked in and closed the door behind him. Looking forward, the Empress Dowager Li was sitting in the middle, Feng Bao, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, and Zhang Jing, the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial horse, were standing on both sides with their hands down. In addition, there was Ci Ning. Several prominent female officials in the palace.

Wanli has been in awe of the Empress Dowager Cisheng since he was a child, and he was already a little timid when he saw this scene. After a closer look, the Empress Dowager Li was actually wearing court clothes.

Everything in the palace is governed by etiquette, and the clothes of the concubines and nobles are also referred to as court clothes, dresses, ordinary clothes, etc. These court clothes are all spread on solemn occasions, and what they talk about is official business.

"Long live to see the Queen Mother, please kneel down and pay respects!"

The emperor was a little dazed there, but there was a long voice coming from the palace, Wanli was stunned, but the voice belonged to Feng Bao, looking up, Feng Bao's face was also very serious.Emperor Wanli had Zhang Juzheng as his teacher since he was a child, but Feng Bao was the one who enlightened and accompanied him.

In the eyes of Emperor Wanli, Feng Bao has always been an unsmiling elder. Wanli's fear of Feng Bao is only inferior to that of Queen Mother Li. Seeing Feng Bao like this, Emperor Wanli was shocked. Throwing it aside, his knees softened and he knelt down.

"Kowtow to see the queen."

According to the old rules, once the emperor knelt down, the Empress Dowager Li would say please, but it was a formality, but today the Emperor Wanli knelt down, but the Empress Dowager Li did not say please.

There was silence in the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the Empress Dowager Li said in a deep voice:

"Zhang Jing, Sun Hai has been arrested and punished."

"Returning to the Empress Dowager, Sun Hai was imprisoned last night and will be punished after being convicted by the imperial edict."

Hearing that Sun Hai was arrested, Emperor Wanli became anxious immediately. He raised his head and was about to speak, but he happened to meet the cold eyes of Empress Dowager Li Shi, but he didn't dare to look at each other, and hastily lowered his head again.

"The first emperor entrusted the Great Ming River, Mountains and Lands to the emperor, so that the emperor will work hard to govern the world, not to let the emperor do nothing in Xiyuan all day long, acting out the drama of subjugation!"

When Emperor Wanli heard this, he couldn't help raising his head and pleading:
"Mother, the widow is already an adult, and there is no delay in handling government affairs in the daily court meeting. As for going to Xiyuan, can it be said that my son, as the Son of Heaven, can't do it?"

"I dozed off at court meetings every day, absent-minded, and dismissed the court several times early. This is already a waste of political affairs. How can you say that there is no delay? Do you want to ruin the country that the late emperor worked so hard for?"

Empress Dowager Li's voice was very cold, but Emperor Wanli, who was kneeling there, was getting more and more angry. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him at all. He was the emperor, why did he kneel here to listen to the training? The exhaustion of last night, the anxiety of today, layer upon layer The layers piled up, and my brain started to heat up.

"Mother, when the father came to the court, didn't the cabinet say that the father would have more children and prosper the royal family, so you don't have to worry about government affairs. There is Mr. Zhang in the cabinet, Feng Da is with you in the inner court, and you have the mother at the helm. What else does the widow want to do, Sun Hai sympathizes with the holy will, and shares the worries of the widow, what is the crime? I also ask the queen mother to show mercy and let Sun Hai go..."

"Absurd, absurd, there are still such absurd and nonsensical words. If the emperor is like this, how will the Ai family face the late emperor and the ancestors of Ming Dynasty in the future."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wanli would talk back like this. The Cisheng Empress Dowager Li immediately became furious, and her voice became sharper. Wanli straightened her body and looked at the front, but in the end she couldn't bear the pressure. The Holy Empress Dowager Li's chest rose and fell, she looked at Wanli who was kneeling there, and said sharply:

"That's all, that's all, today Ai's family will go to the Taimiao to sue the ancestors, the country, and the country cannot be ruined because of one person's immorality..."

After saying this, Feng Bao and Zhang Jing in the palace, and Wanli who was kneeling below looked up together. The two eunuchs were shocked, but Emperor Wanli's face was pale, and he stammered and asked, regardless of his timidity:

"Mother, mother, this... this..."

She stuttered and couldn't even finish her sentence. The queen mother went to the Taimiao to tell her ancestors that she should not harm the world because of one person's immorality. On what occasion can I say this? This can only be said when the emperor is abolished. , Empress Dowager Li's words mean that she wants to abolish Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli never thought that the matter would be so serious that the throne would not be guaranteed. He stood up tremblingly and took a few steps forward. Empress Dowager Li's gaze was still extremely cold, looking at Looking at Emperor Wanli, Wanli took two steps, knelt down with a plop, and was already crying when he opened his mouth. He kowtowed and begged:
"Mother, mother, I know my mistake, I know my mistake, I will never dare again from now on, mother, my son is the ruler, if... if... then it will fall to a distant house."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the blood of the late Emperor's heirs is not limited to the Emperor alone!"

Empress Dowager Li said lightly, after saying these words, Emperor Wanli froze there. There were two sons of Longqing, one was Wanli Zhu Yijun, and the other was Lu Wang Zhu Yichun. When Emperor Wanli had no heirs, according to the legal blood , King Lu does have the right to inherit.

The queen mother not only wants to abolish the widow, but has even chosen the successor. Emperor Wanli's mind was like thunder and lightning, but in this situation, he dared not say anything, and it was useless to say anything.

Feng Bao is the leader of the inner court and the head of the 24 yamen, while Zhang Jing is the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who controls the only army in the palace, the Royal Horse Imprisonment Army. Without any strength to resist, Emperor Wanli's mind turned sharply, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't think of any countermeasures.

It wasn't until this moment that Emperor Wanli realized that he thought he would grow up after his wedding, but he was still a child. In front of the Queen Mother, he was still the child who greeted him sooner or later and was disciplined.

Without any coping strategies, all Emperor Wanli could do was kowtow desperately, crying and saying "baby is wrong".

Feng Bao, who bowed his head and looked at Emperor Wanli from the corner of his eye, saw that the little emperor's forehead was already flushed, and he couldn't bear it when he saw Wanli as a child, so he glanced at the sitting there again. Empress Dowager Li, found out that Empress Dowager Li was also a little distressed.

"Empress Dowager, Wan Sui already knows his mistake. The empress dowager has a body of ten thousand gold, and Wan live is also a body of ten thousand gold. Don't get angry and hurt the country. Please calm down the anger of the empress dowager."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jing and the female officers around her felt apprehensive. Seeing Feng Bao like this, they also knelt down and kowtowed together and said:
"Please calm down, Empress Dowager!"

Empress Dowager Li was silent there, and after Feng Bao and others said it several times in a row, Empress Dowager Li said coldly:
"Since the emperor knew that he was wrong, he went back to reflect for a few days, thought about why he was wrong, and what he should do in the future. After he figured it out, he told Aijia that it's getting late, the emperor should go back to his side!!"

"The boy thanked the queen mother for her kindness, and the boy thanked the queen mother for her kindness."

Emperor Wanli cried and thanked him, and was supported by Feng Bao himself, and walked out of the palace gate with a little staggering footsteps.

************
"How can I let my ancestors come to see the little one..."

The two imperial physicians in the room respectfully withdrew, but Zhao Jinliang struggled to get up, Zhang Cheng waved his hands and went forward to hold Zhao Jinliang, and said gently:

"You are a meritorious person, and you are injured, just lie there and rest!"

Zhao Jinliang gritted his teeth and endured the pain and got up, but after being told so, he lay back again. Zhang Cheng sat on the chair beside the kang, smiled and expressed his condolences, and asked:
"Last night you were by Long Live Lord's side, how did the news get to the Compassionate Ning Palace? Didn't you say that things should be reported to our family first?"

"It wasn't the little one who spread the news, and there was no trustworthy person at the time. The little one planned to tell the ancestors after Long Live Lord went to bed..."

"Oh? Not you?"

After talking for a few words, Zhang Cheng was thoughtful.
