Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 528 Queen Wang's Persuasion
Queen Wang is not only intelligent, but also dignified and virtuous, quite reasonable.

Emperor Wanli helped up the queen: "I am rich all over the world, so I don't care about the mere 45 copper coins. The key point is that this matter is related to my authority! Now I have the name of the emperor, but I don't have the power of the emperor. It is a major event of the court. Zhang Juzheng will decide all the trivial matters. Does this world belong to me, or to him, Mr. Zhang?"

When Queen Wang heard the words, she thought for a moment, and then said: "There is a saying, I don't know whether it is appropriate for the ministers and concubines to say it."

Emperor Wanli said: "You are my queen. You can tell me whatever you want."

Queen Wang asked Emperor Wanli: "Your Majesty, if Mr. Zhang resigns from his old age and returns to his hometown tomorrow morning, he will return all the power of the court to the Emperor. The Emperor feels that he has the ability to manage the two capitals and thirteen provinces well, and the tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty. last name?"

Emperor Wanli was dumbfounded.

Queen Wang said again: "Your Majesty, since Mr. Zhang became the first assistant, the revenue of the treasury has increased every year. The life of the common people is getting better every year. Just imagine, if there is no Mr. Zhang for these seven years, what would the Ming Dynasty be like?"

Emperor Wanli remained silent.

Queen Wang gave Emperor Wanli a bowl of Baweier Chicken Soup: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking out. What you need to do now is to learn more about governance from Mr. Zhang! Instead of getting angry with Mr. Zhang! You said it yourself The surname is Zhu, not Zhang! Mr. Zhang will return the power of the court to the emperor sooner or later. Why should the emperor be in a hurry?"

Queen Wang's words are well-founded.Emperor Wanli couldn't talk to her for a while.He had no choice but to change the subject: "That guy He Liu is so hateful! I asked him to go to the Baoquan Bureau to deliver the decree. After a while, Zhang Juzheng knew my decree! It is obvious that He Liu gave Zhang Juzheng the word."

Queen Wang quickly defended He Liu: "Your Majesty, He Liu is a veteran of the three dynasties. He has been in charge of Jinyiwei since the end of Jiajing. In these years, he has repeatedly solved major cases. He has made countless contributions to the court! His daughter Zhu Xiang is Li The empress dowager's adoptive daughter, your imperial sister. His son He Shizhong was your childhood companion. He can be called the emperor's own family! You must not alienate him."

Emperor Wanli said: "You will speak well for He Liu! I know that he has a very close relationship with your father."

Queen Wang shook her head: "The concubine speaks kind words for He Liu not because he has a good relationship with his father, but because he is a loyal minister in the court! Enemies in the dark are more terrifying than enemies in the open. Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang They are dealing with the enemies in the open. He Liu is dealing with the enemies hiding in the dark. Although he has resigned from the Beizhen Governor, but when the emperor encounters difficult things in the future, he will still be handed over to him. Those who seek the country will do it!"

Emperor Wanli raised his wine glass: "Forget it, I can't beat you! When you talk, you always take up a word of reason!"

He Fu.

He Liu and Feng Bao, the old brothers, drank happily.

Feng Bao drunkenly said to Bai Xiaoyan: "Sister-in-law, don't look at me. There are five people and six people. I am in charge of the supervisor of rites and also in charge of the East Factory. No, there is no my sixth brother and my godfather back then. With your support, I, Feng Bao, can't figure out where to beg for food now!"

Bai Xiaoyan poured Feng Bao a glass of wine: "You have to think of your sixth brother, just tell the emperor and Queen Mother Li, don't send him those tricky errands in the future! He is 59, an old bone , I can’t stand the torment for a long time.”

Like Feng Bao, He Liu was also very drunk.He stared straight at the ceiling and said, "It's easy to put on the flying fish suit, but it's hard to take it off. No matter how nice Feng Bao is for me, the Empress Dowager Li and the emperor should let me go to the mountain of swords, and I still have to go to the mountain of swords." I should be put in the oil pan, and I have to be in the oil pan."

Feng Bao pointed to He Shizhong, and said with drunken eyes: "Sixth brother, how did I hear that you promoted Yang Wan that little bastard in Jinyiwei in the past two years, and didn't seek promotion for your own children? Shizhong, if you I felt that the promotion was slow, so I cut up the chicken and came to Dongchang. Within two years, Uncle Feng will hand over the entire Dongchang to you!"

Bai Xiaoyan laughed and scolded: "I should have poured a bowl of cold water on your face and slapped your ears! Your drunken talk is too out of the ordinary! Your nephew is going to marry a lady from Xu Siye's family at the end of this month But you want him to cut up a chicken and enter the palace as a eunuch?"

"thump".Feng Bao didn't answer, but passed out drunk under the table.

He Liu laughed loudly: "Good morning, I told you earlier! Although your sixth brother and I are getting old, it's not a big deal to drink you under the table, it's not difficult."

"Plop!" He Liu also passed out drunk under the table.

Bai Xiaoyan looked at the two brothers who were drunk, and told her son helplessly: "Shizhong, quickly carry your father and Uncle Feng Bao to the bedroom."

At this time, Xiangxiang walked into the dining room: "My God, did my father and Uncle Feng drink for two hours?"

Bai Xiaoyan said: "The two of them are full of worries. It's good to get drunk once in a while."

He Shizhong and two servants carried them out of the dining room.

Xiangxiang sat next to Bai Xiaoyan: "Mother, I have lived with Hanjiao at home for more than half a year. At the end of the month, my younger brother is married, and I will take Hanjiao back to Liaodong."

Bai Xiaoyan took Xiangxiang's hand: "Let's stay a little longer."

Xiangxiang shook her head: "Forget it. Han Jiao is arguing every day to see his father."

Bai Xiaoyan said: "Why don't you let your father think of a way to transfer Ru Bai to Beijing?"

Xiangxiang smiled wryly: "Rubai will not agree. He is just like his father and his elder brother. He is born to love wars. Although the capital is good, there are no wars. How do you say that? Oh, how can the sword be hidden in the in the sheath?"

Bai Xiaoyan looked at her daughter lovingly.Although Xiangxiang is not her own, it is better than her own.After a long time, she said: "If I had known this, I should have let your father marry you to a noble son in the capital!"

Xiangxiang sighed: "The marriage between me and Rubai was decided by the late Emperor Longqing. My father can't make the decision. But it's okay. I would rather marry a border townsman like Rubai than Marry those wretched noble sons."

The two women talked about themselves in the dining room for a while, and then went back to their respective bedrooms.

Bai Xiaoyan stared at the 59-year-old man lying on the bed.She said to herself: Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother.If you hadn't entered the Yicui Tower back then.What will happen to me now?Good fortune is really tricky.
