Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 599

"What sages and sages' principles!! What a wise king! It's all bullshit, all bullshit!! He can't do it himself, and no one in the court can do it!! Why do you ask the widow to do it? The world belongs to the widows, why do the widows want such poverty, such self-discipline, but they can act so recklessly!!!”

Emperor Wanli walked back and forth in the imperial study room, swinging his arms wildly, and roaring loudly. Zhang Cheng knew the subtle habits of Emperor Wanli. When the emperor called himself "zhen", he was usually in a good mood. It is a serious occasion or an unpleasant moment.

At this time, the two who claimed to speak out irregularly, Zhang Cheng saw it for the first time, and knew that Emperor Wanli's mood was agitated and chaotic to a certain extent.

Zhang Cheng knelt on the ground for a while, but suddenly stood up impolitely, and ran out from the imperial study room. Several people in the room were stunned. Even Emperor Wanli stopped talking, and saw Zhang Cheng running outside the door. , screaming in the yard:

"Whether it's the servants or the guards, go farther away. Long Live Lord, be quiet. A hundred steps away, a hundred steps away, let our family know who comes close, and immediately get rid of the errand and want his head!"

The emperor's gaffe, if it spreads in the palace, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Zhang Cheng is also a seasoned move. He chased people away outside, trotted back to the imperial study room, knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he entered the room A few heads, pleaded guilty and said:
"The slave girl was also impatient just now, but she lost her etiquette, and asked the Lord Long Live to punish her."

Such a movement interrupted Emperor Wanli's anger and mania. Emperor Wanli turned his lower body, then turned back, opened his mouth and raised his arms, but said nothing. He lifted his foot and kicked a flower stand. The basin was broken, he was already lame, he raised his legs a lot, he couldn't help staggering, almost fell down, and finally sat down on the chair in despondency, and said weakly:

"Zhang Banban, you are sincerely doing good for the widow, you don't have to pay attention to it so much, the widow doesn't blame you!"

Zhang Cheng didn't get up, but knelt on the ground and sincerely said to Chen Zuo:

"Long live Lord, don't lose your composure these days. Today's matter, the slaves and servants have some ideas to get away with it, and you must not make it public."

"Why can't you show off!!"

After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, Emperor Wanli's face flushed for a while, and he roared again. Zhang Cheng knocked and said hastily:

"Long live God, Zhang Juzheng is the chief assistant of the cabinet in the outer court, Feng Bao is in the inner court, and he is in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, and the empress dowager is in the middle to control the trinity. If there is any action at this time, I am afraid it will be regarded as a liquidation act. Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao have been in business for nearly 20 years. In the capital, the key positions are all the cronies of their disciples. ah!!"

Emperor Wanli stood up abruptly from his seat and pointed at Zhang Cheng. His fingers, arms, and whole body trembled, and he opened his mouth as if to shout. Zou Yi and Zhao Jinliang didn't care about the difference between monarchs and ministers, they all raised their heads. Looking at Zhang Cheng and Emperor Wanli in astonishment, Zhang Cheng was so courageous that he dared to say such rebellious words in front of the emperor.

Zhang Cheng just kowtowed on the ground, the shaking of Emperor Wanli's body gradually stopped, he took two steps back, sat down on the chair, and said:
"Am I still the Son of Heaven, am I still the Emperor, what is this world like..."

The voice became lower and lower, with a faint cry, Zhang Cheng raised his head at this time, his forehead was already bruised, and said in an extremely firm tone:

"Of course the world belongs to the Lord Long Live, and of course the Lord Long Live is the Lord of Ming Dynasty, but at this very moment, we must not act rashly. Lord Long Live, we have to wait!!"

"Wang Tong said to wait, but you said to wait, how long will you have to wait?"

Emperor Wanli was very confused when he asked back. Zhang Cheng lowered his voice and said in a deep voice:

"Today, Imperial Physician Yu of the Imperial Hospital said, wait another [-] days, maybe it won't be necessary..."

As soon as this sentence was said, Emperor Wanli was taken aback, and suddenly understood, nodded slowly, his face was cold, but there was a smile on his face, he gritted his teeth and said:
"That's right, don't wait too long!!!"

The room was quiet for a while, and Emperor Wanli finally calmed down. Seeing the three people still kneeling on the ground, he got up and helped Zhang Cheng up first, then sighed and said:

"It's been so hard for Zhang Banban these years... Zou Yi, Xiao Liang, you all get up, I will always remember your loyalty in my heart."

A gleam of joy flashed across Zou Yi's face, but when he raised his head, he became solemn and solemn, and said solemnly:
"This is the duty of a servant."

Zhao Jinliang didn't make a sound, but got up to clean up the mess in the house. Zhang Cheng was also a little excited when he was helped by the little emperor, but he was experienced and quick to react. He looked at the mess in the house and said:
"Even if you don't come to see the movement today, there will be such and other rumors outside, you have to find a reason to push it over!"

Zhang Cheng glanced around Zou Yi and Zhao Jinliang, and said:
"Zou Yi, I have to wrong you."

The grievance at this time represents the future wealth and honor. Zou Yi is naturally willing. Hearing what Zhang Cheng said, he quickly knelt down again and said in a solemn voice:
"Doing things for Lord Long Live, what's wrong with that?"

*************
Zou Yi, head of the Sixth Section of the Ceremony Supervisor, was demoted to South Street to be in charge because of his corruption of ink. This was the biggest news in the palace. When he was a military supervisor, he was seized by the supervising eunuch Lin Shulu for reselling horses and eating up his quota, and severely punished him once.

Ordinarily, this person was completely finished in the palace, but Zou Yi was lucky, he had a good relationship with Wang Tong outside the palace, and unexpectedly he recovered, and went to be the head of Liu Kelang, the supervisor of ceremonies.

The supervising army of the Yumajian was transferred to the Silijian as the chief, which is equivalent to the governor Buzheng from outside the local government becoming a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, which is a great promotion.

People inside and outside the palace were very envious, but they didn't expect that something happened to Zou Yi again, and it was still mentioned in this greedy ink. Everyone was contemptuous, really a waste of no ambition.

Except for Zhang Cheng, the chief inspector of ceremonies was either from the Empress Dowager, or the person who was in charge of Feng Bao, the chief inspector of ceremonies. After finally inserting Zou Yi'an, he got out because of such things. Such a big anger, it is said that the table was turned over.

The eunuchs in the palace were still lamenting that Zhang Cheng and Eunuch Zhang had a lot of face in front of the Long Live Lord. He rushed to South Street to work as a steward. Although he had no power, he was at ease. Taking it away is equivalent to putting it outside to work as an errand, without hope of climbing up, but happy.

***************
The entire capital knew about Zhang Juzheng's condition, the chief assistant of the cabinet. On May [-], the palace bestowed all kinds of precious medicinal materials, and sent half of the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital to Zhang Juzheng's mansion. A famous local doctor came to the capital to diagnose and treat Mr. Zhang Ge.

Zhang Juzheng's eldest son, Zhang Jingxiu, was originally the head of the Ritual System Department of the Ministry of Rites, a sixth-rank official. Emperor Wanli decreed that he be promoted to be a doctor of the Ritual System Division, and he was promoted several levels in a row.

It is said that during the court meeting of Wenyuan Pavilion, Emperor Wanli proposed this matter, and the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Liang Menglong, objected.

This was a matter of favor and favor. Since the emperor had this attitude, everyone naturally wouldn't have anything else to say, and promoted him quickly.

This appointment caused an uproar in the capital, officials from the six ministries, and scholars from the Qingliu went to the public to criticize, saying that this appointment was not out of public interest.

Zhang Juzheng was seriously ill, and the public opinion in the capital became a little bolder. At first, some people said that Zhang Juzheng was a powerful minister, and some people said that Zhang Juzheng's eldest son, Zhang Jingxiu, was a Jinshi. Such ethos should not be indulged.

Naturally, Emperor Wanli would not listen to such remarks, and even arranged for people from the Shuntian Mansion and the Department of Public Security to investigate strictly. As soon as this attitude was revealed, the capital immediately became quiet.

With one measure after another, everyone naturally saw Emperor Wanli's trust in Zhang Juzheng, and the people in the palace naturally saw it more clearly, but everyone didn't think it was so strange, the emperor should do this.

***********
With so many things going on inside and outside the palace, everyone in the bureau felt that time passed quickly. On the third day after Zou Yi was "relegated" from the palace, Zhang Cheng hurried to the imperial study.

According to the news from the Imperial Hospital, Zhang Juzheng's leg ulcers have intensified. He is currently under medication, and he is gradually becoming drowsy. The situation is getting worse and worse. Emperor Wanli wants Zhang Juzheng to report immediately when there is news of Zhang Juzheng's condition. Zhang Cheng came here for this.

Walking to the courtyard gate of the Imperial Study Room, Zhang Cheng stopped to straighten his robes, looked left and right, but was stunned for a moment, and then asked:
"Didn't our family choose a group of guards here? Why are you still here?"

A guard leader quickly stepped forward and bowed and said:
"Eunuch Zhang, the subordinates have not received orders from Shangfeng, so they are on duty here and dare not leave without permission."

Zhang Cheng stomped his feet and said angrily:

"The high commander above you is confused. He dares to ignore our family's words. You go and tell him now to send those people selected by our family, or he will look good!!!"

Given Zhang Cheng's status, the guards below did not dare to contradict him, and quickly agreed to handle it, and Zhang Cheng went into the yard to report.

After talking a few words in the imperial study, Jinxiu, the female official of the Cisheng Empress Dowager Li's family, came, this is really a rare visitor, came in and greeted him, Jinxiu respectfully said:
"Long Live Lord, Eunuch Zhang, the Empress Dowager said that in times of trouble, the palace should be stable and there should be no disturbances. The guards on Long Live Lord's side have always been reliable and safe, so there is no need to change them..."
