Chapter 587 Be Your Queen Dowager Honestly
Empress Lu, the wife of Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.After Liu Bang's death, she took control of the government as a woman and ruled the court, and was scolded by later historians.

Three years ago, when Empress Dowager Li had the idea of ​​abolishing the emperor, she gave Emperor Wanli a copy of "Huo Guang Biography" to express her attitude: If you don't listen to Aijia's words, or Mr. Zhang's, be careful Aijia to learn from Huo Guang and abolish him. You, establish a new king!
Today, Emperor Wanli gave Empress Dowager Li a copy of "The Biography of Empress Lu", which also expressed his attitude to Empress Dowager Li: You will be your empress dowager honestly.Don't think about learning from Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty and interfering in government affairs!Now my wings are hardened, if you point fingers at the government, be careful that I move out of the ancestral family law of "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" and abolish your position as queen mother!

After two pillars of incense, Empress Dowager Li led Feng Bao to the main hall of Yongshou Palace angrily.

Zhang Jing stopped Empress Dowager Li from approaching: "I would like to report to Empress Dowager, the emperor is immersed in reviewing the memorial, and no one will be seen for the time being."

Empress Dowager Li said: "Oh? Zhang Jing, raise your head."

Zhang Jing raised his head. "Crack!", Empress Dowager Li slapped him without saying a word.

Empress Dowager Li scolded Zhang Jing angrily: "What are you? How dare you stand in the way of Ai's family?"

Zhang Jing unhurriedly took out the "Biography of Empress Lu" from his pocket, and said calmly, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, the emperor told me to ask my maidservant to hand over this book to you."

Empress Dowager Li took the book in her hand, and when she looked at the cover, she was stunned!

She didn't expect that when she gave the emperor a copy of "The Biography of Huo Guang", three years later, the emperor had grown up and his wings became stiff, so he would give her a copy of "The Biography of Empress Lu" in return!
Empress Dowager Li's eyes were filled with tears.Ruthless is the emperor's family.What is the relationship between mother and child compared with the supreme power?

Feng Bao reminded Empress Dowager Li: "Empress Dowager, please enter the hall! You are the emperor of the harem, anyone who dares to stop you from seeing the emperor will be punished with death!"

Empress Dowager Li shook her head: "Forget it. Go back to the Compassion Palace!"

Now, it's Feng Bao's turn to be dumbfounded!Empress Dowager Li is going back to the Palace of Compassion, which means that Empress Dowager Li does not intend to help him intercede in front of the emperor!

Feng Bao followed Empress Dowager Li out of Yongshou Palace in despair.

Empress Dowager Li turned her head and said to Feng Bao: "Feng Bao, the Ai family can't help you anymore. Now in the whole of Daming, there is only one person who can help you. That is the Queen in Kunning Palace. Go to Kunning Palace."

Feng Bao had no choice but to bow his head and bid farewell to Queen Mother Li, then turned around and went to Kunning Palace.

In Kunning Palace, Feng Bao cried to the Queen.

Wang An, the steward of Kunning Palace, was single-handedly promoted by Feng Bao.He has a good nature, and instead of making trouble like Zhang Jing, he knelt down in front of the queen and begged the queen to help his "ancestor" Feng Bao.

Queen Wang was already soft-hearted.In addition, Feng Bao is He Liu's foster brother.Without He Liu, there would be no motherhood for her.Instead of looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, she must help with this favor.

Queen Wang said: "Forget it, I'm going to find the emperor right now. Wang An, you are here to accompany Eunuch Feng."

Queen Wang came to Yongshou Palace.Zhang Jing dared to stop Empress Dowager Li, but he did not dare to stop her.No one in the palace knows that the emperor and the empress are deeply in love with each other.The emperor only favors the king and empress, to the point where he is afraid of losing it when he holds it in his hand, he fears it will melt if he holds it in his mouth, and he fears it will fall apart when he holds it under his body.

Inside the main hall of Yongshou Palace.Emperor Wanli put down the memorial in his hand and asked the queen, "Why are you here?"

Queen Wang knelt down: "Your Majesty, my concubine came to intercede for Feng Bao. He is your big companion. When you were still in your infancy, he was by your side to take care of you every day. Although he has committed crimes, he is not guilty. die."

Emperor Wanli smiled: "The crime is not worthy of death? Could it be that he told you that I will kill him?"

Queen Wang nodded: "Yes. The official of the Manchu Dynasty asked the emperor to kill him. He said to his concubines, the emperor, you have already killed him."

Emperor Wanli smiled wryly, and shook his head: "He also said that he has taken care of me for 20 years. He still doesn't understand me! I don't have a heart of stone that my relatives will deny. People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? How could I ignore the 20 years of monarchs and ministers Besides, he has served in the government for ten years. Although he has done a lot of wrong things of corruption and bribery to get money, he is always not confused when it comes to major events. Although he has not made great contributions to Jiangshan Sheji, There is always a bit of work for a dog and a horse."

Queen Wang was overjoyed: "So, the emperor doesn't intend to kill Eunuch Feng?"

Emperor Wanli got up, walked in front of Queen Wang, stroked her cheek, and said, "I just intend to remove his position as Supervisor of Rituals and Admiral of Dongchang, and demote him to be the Chief of Xiaoling in Nanzhili. Nanzhili is a It’s a good place, let him retire there.”

Queen Wang hurriedly kowtowed: "The emperor is benevolent, the emperor is wise! On behalf of Feng Bao, I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Emperor Wanli said: "That's all. Is he still in Kunning Palace now? Let him go back to the Supervisor of Rites and wait for my order!"

Queen Wang resigned upon hearing this.

Zhang Jing stood aside and said to Emperor Wanli: "Your Majesty, do you want to spare Feng Bao? Feng Bao is a treacherous and evil person. He colluded with Zhang Juzheng to steal the power of the court. Not killing the heroic spirits who are not enough to comfort the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty !"

Emperor Wanli laughed lightly: "Father and son still exist in beasts. You, Zhang Jing, have been Feng Bao's godson for ten years. Don't you have any affection for him?"

Zhang Jing quickly explained the truth: "Your Majesty, what is the relationship between father and son compared with the country and the country? Feng Bao is a sinister and vicious man. He will never die, and he will always be a confidant of the court!"

Emperor Wanli cursed secretly in his heart: What He Liu said is true, Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing, you are a clown!
Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli said meaningfully: "Oh, Zhang Jing, is it possible that you want to be Lu Fang, Chen Hong, and Liu Da of the Jiajing Dynasty? Let me tell you, you haven't even learned their shadows! Good! Now, you go to the Supervisor of Rituals to announce the decree. Feng Bao will be removed from the position of Supervisor of Rituals and the eunuch of the East Factory. You will take over the position of Supervisor of Rituals and take charge of the East Factory temporarily. Bing pen."

Although Emperor Wanli saw through Zhang Jing, the jumping clown.But he wants to use this jumping clown again.Although the jumping beam clown is extremely stupid, it is easy for the emperor to control.

Feng Bao left, which was a good thing for Emperor Wanli to consolidate his power.But if after Feng Bao left, the Supervisor of Rituals came to Zhang Bao again, then the loss outweighed the gain.Therefore, Emperor Wanli asked Zhang Jing, a man of great ambition and talent, who had no ability except good slander, to replace Feng Bao as the interior minister.

Two hours later.Supervisor of rituals.

In front of the eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Zhang Jing proudly read out the imperial decree: "There is a decree. Feng Baofei is domineering, bullying the king and the country, and committing serious crimes. However, I have been serving the emperor for 20 years, and I have worked a little bit. I don’t want to investigate the crime. From now on, I will be demoted to the general manager of Xiaoling in Nanzhili. I will take the post immediately after receiving the order, and I am not allowed to stay in Beijing! All property in Beijing will be confiscated and taken into the internal transport warehouse. Zhang Jing will also be promoted to be the supervisor of ceremonies, and will also be in charge of the East Factory. Wang An will be promoted to be the supervisor of ceremonies to hold the pen."

With trembling hands, Feng Bao received the imperial decree!

He sighed in his heart: 20 years are like a dream!In the blink of an eye, prosperity and wealth are gone!

Feng Bao received the order and immediately left the palace.The eunuch Su Lian, the foreman of the East Factory, was ordered to take twenty soldiers to protect him along the way to Nanzhili.It's called protection, but it's actually surveillance.

Out of the palace gate, Feng Bao begged Su Lian: "Su Lian, no, Eunuch Su. You have worked in Dongchang for more than ten years. You should know that my godfather's magic card is placed at the home of Sixth Master He in Jinyiwei. Whenever he On the anniversary of his death, I have to go to the He Mansion to pay homage. I am going to Nanzhili, I am afraid I will never have the chance to return to Beijing to pay homage to my godfather. Please make it easier for me to go to the He Mansion, and finally give him Put up the incense sticks."

Su Lian thought for a while: "Okay. But you'd better hurry up. It is written in the imperial decree that you are not allowed to stay in Beijing. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid those of us who are subordinates will have to bear the burden."

Feng Bao said gratefully, "Thank you, Eunuch Su."
