The Empress Dowager also issued an order to comfort her and said that there were many veterans in the previous dynasty, and her husband was only in his early fifties and was still mighty and mighty. How could he say that he was old? Don't say that, I will definitely not let you go back.

However, Mr. Zhang was determined to leave, and the emperor kept comforting him again and again, but he still refused to come back to take the matter. In order to allow the emperor to let him go back to his hometown, he took a step back and said that I would never come back. I just beg for a few years to take care of my mother and take the opportunity to take care of my health. If there is a major event in the country and the emperor still needs a minister, I will come back to serve at that time.

But Wanli still insisted not to allow it, and replied depressedly: I haven’t seen you come out for a few days, and I feel like I’m losing my heart. How about this report again? Do you want to leave? Do you absolutely have no way to know?!

In addition, the emperor also wrote a dragon's hand-in-hand eunuch, and ordered the eunuch Feng Bao to take it to Zhang Juzheng's private house to pass the imperial edict.

Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng were intimate for half a lifetime, and probably could understand his thoughts. They were worried that he would not accept the order this time and would be completely out of control. So they lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked Feng Bangning, the nephew who was serving outside, and said, "Where is the little master now?"

"Go back to my uncle, I must be in Dashamao Hutong?" Feng Bangning said in certainty: "It seems that he has never left after Old Mrs. Zhao fell ill."

"It seems." Feng Bao snorted unhappy: "Go, no matter where you are, please ask him to wait for me at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Yes." Feng Bangning quickly went there, Feng Baoming was slowly moving in the sedan chair, deliberately waiting for Zhao Hao to go.

After a cup of tea, Feng Bangning ran back out of breath and reported that the little cabinet master was indeed at the house of Mr. Zhang.

Only then did Eunuch Feng ask the sedan chair to speed up, and soon arrived at Dashamao Hutong.

Because he had given orders in advance, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was still closed. The Jinyiwei blocked the Dashamao Hutong, and Eunuch Feng's sedan chair fell in front of the door.

Zhao Hao had been waiting for Guangliang's gate, and when he saw Eunuch Feng, he hurriedly bowed to him.

Feng Bao waved his hand, pointed to the doorman and said, "Go in and say."

"Please." Zhao Hao nodded and led Eunuch Feng into the doorman.

The doorman had already arranged fruit and snacks. After the guards put the tea, Zhao Hao stood back and left, leaving You Qi to serve him from the side. Then he asked Feng Bao, "What are your instructions?"

"What else can you do? What's the matter with your father-in-law?" Eunuch Feng pointed at You Qi in a fury and said, "I asked Xu Jue to ask him, but I didn't know what to do."

"The villain really doesn't know." You Qi spread his hands depressedly, "The master has been living in the old lady's room for the past few days and has never left the house."

After a pause, he whispered: "And he is in a bad mood. The little master and the young master dare not ask for any questions, let alone the villain?"

"Bause!" Feng Bao was also very angry, cursed, and turned to Zhao Hao and said, "You know what Mr. Zhang is thinking best, let's talk about it!"

"To be honest, I've been away from Beijing for two years. I've seen my father-in-law again this time, and I feel like he's completely unfamiliar with him." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and spread his hands:

"How to say it, I'm not as good as before..."

In fact, the more accurate statement is that the power of heaven is hard to predict, so of course this word cannot be used indiscriminately.

"Oh, I feel the same way." Eunuch Feng nodded deeply and said, "Since the love storm, I feel that my uncle and brother have changed their temperaments. He has closed himself up, and even those whom we trust the most are unwilling to open up."

"Then I can only guess." Zhao Hao sighed lightly, "Sir, are in the Sili Supervisor. Can you tell me that something has happened recently that has stimulated my father-in-law?"

"Our family has been investigated in the past few days." Feng Bao frowned slightly, took out a memorial from his sleeve and said, "The emperor has personally cultivated, visited the tomb, and the two young men have also been in high school. The world is even more prosperous and harmonious, and even the Yellow River has been repaired. It is a prosperous scene! There is only a little noise..."

Zhao Hao took it and saw that it was March, and Zhao Shiqing, the head of the Nanjing Ministry of War, submitted a "Five Commentary on the Rebellion" written by Zhao Shiqing, who said, "One should take the quota of scholars, two should loosen the ban on posts, three should save the quota of the quota, four should slow down the quota, and five should open up the way of speech.

Reducing the quota, cutting the postman's teachings, severe punishments, urging taxes, and provincial discussions. These five items are all contents of Zhang Juzheng's reform, but now Zhao Shiqing is going to overturn it, which is naturally contrary to Zhang Xianggong's new policy.

The most outrageous thing is one of the paragraphs. He said that why the censors of the Kedao are now favored by favor, but are silent in military and national affairs, and are completely a group of decorations that have failed the grace of the holy people? This is because Fu Yingzhen, Aimu, and Liu Tai were all offended by their suggestions and are still in garrison soldiers, so the censors are silent. Ask Your Majesty to release those ministers who offended them for their suggestions, so that the people of the world know that Your Majesty is not unable to accept advice, and the scholars and officials will speak again.

Fu, Ai, Liu and others were demoted to the garrison for impeaching Zhang Xianggong. What does it mean to pardon them mean? Zhao Shiqing would not know. If he said such words but was completely punished, the court would think that Zhang Xianggong was about to fall the next day.

"This Zhao Shiqing is really, what are you doing well? This is?" Zhao Hao frowned after seeing it.

"Who said no? Did he think he could make waves?" Feng Bao said indifferently: "Our family has reported to the emperor and ordered the Minister of Personnel Wang Guoguang to change him to the right chief of the Chu Mansion. The King of Chu knew how to deal with him."

It is not easy to promote the transfer of officials of the royal palace in the Ming Dynasty. Once they enter the royal palace, they actually become imprisonment, which is already a severe punishment. Moreover, the fief of the King of Chu is in Huguang, so he naturally knows how to please his fellow villager, Xianggong Zhang.

After a pause, Feng Bao said again: "That Zhao Shiqing is He Xinyin's disciple."

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded and changed the subject: "But just relying on this little character's insidious memorial is not enough to make his father-in-law want to leave."

"So our family wants to ask you."

"In my foolish opinion, the answer may be in my father-in-law's "Memorial on Returning to Government and Retirement"." Zhao Hao pondered:

"Your Majesty has been married for several years, and he has performed the ritual of farming and visiting the tombs, which is enough to take on the responsibilities of the king. As an auxiliary minister, his father-in-law is not in peace in the world and returns to power when the government is harmonious, and he will be suspected of his intentions."

"You can't steal high positions for a long time, and you can't live in power for a long time?" Feng Bao said slowly.

"That's right." Zhao Hao focused his head and lowered his voice: "It is clear in the memorial that my father-in-law has been in charge of the court for nine years. Now, there is no one in the cabinet, six ministries, the chief clerk, and the governors of various provinces who are not recommended by his father-in-law. There is almost no censor who dares to disobey the command. On the other hand, the emperor is eighteen years old, and has been over the age of being able to rule for two years."

"Hmm." Feng Bao couldn't help but feel creepy. This was indeed something he ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

"It can be said that the father-in-law is in power, which means that Your Majesty loses his position. If his father-in-law is in love, Your Majesty will keep losing his position. Wouldn't he become a fool? His father-in-law is loyal and filial, so he naturally has to try his best to avoid this scene." Zhao Hao's voice became even lower. "Think about the attacks he has suffered over the years? This kind of worry must have always existed in his heart."

"But his reform has not been completed yet. Not to mention the one-whip method, isn't he going to destroy the academy soon this year and ban the lectures..." Speaking of this, Feng Bao showed a sudden expression and said:

"I understand. He thought of the infamy that would inevitably come after the ban on destroying the Tianxia Academy?!"

"Yes, my father-in-law knows everything." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "At this point of reform, there is no easy thing to do. Every step is risking lightning! If you don't do it well, you will be ruined and the whole family will suffer!"

As he said that, he sighed, "And if you persist, you will make Your Majesty lose your position. It is not the way of a minister! You can imagine how conflicted his father-in-law is in his heart? So when he is stimulated, such as the death of the third master and the old lady, it is understandable that he will suddenly decide to return to the government and ask for a leave of absence."

"Well." Feng Bao pondered for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "It makes sense. I think you are at least sure."

"Just just think of it." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I just couldn't think of any other explanation."

"If you say this, our family also thinks that Mr. Zhang means this. The chief minister is a dangerous position. There are few people who have died in good terms for decades. If they can escape at the peak and be in the forest, they will not lose a blessing." Feng Bao nodded, but sighed again and said with a bitter smile:

"But the Queen Mother and His Majesty have already determined to keep him, what if he does?"

As he said that, he carefully handed the dragon note to Zhao Hao.

Mr. Zhao took it with both hands, and saw Emperor Wanli's handwritten letter:

"I am instructing Mr. Zhang, the young master of Yuanfu: I am in accordance with the charity of the Virgin Mary, "I told Mr. Zhang that although the ceremonies have been completed, the government affairs within and outside have not yet been decided. Mr. Zhang personally received the order, how could he bear to leave? When Mr. Xu is thirty years old, he will discuss it again. In the future, he will not have to make such a thought." I respectfully tell you that you must respect the Virgin Mary and I will follow the wishes of Virgin Mary. Mr. Wang respectfully accept it. Therefore, he will accept it.

After watching it for a while, Zhao Hao couldn't stop talking. What a good man, this is the Queen Mother's decree that Xianggong Zhang will be regent for another twelve years!

That is to say, at least in these twelve years, the Ming Dynasty will continue the real politics of the vain king and form a legal system that even the emperor cannot break through.

Is this completely different from the cabinet's plausible authority through votes and contemplated rights?

Being a regency for twelve years! What a temptation! No one can resist it?! Even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire in twelve years?!

‘Li Cai'e really doesn't treat her father-in-law as an outsider.’ Mr. Zhao couldn't help but sigh secretly, isn't this forcing Wanli to learn from Qin Shihuang?

"Caremonious Mr. Zhang can rest assured now?" Feng Bao smiled proudly and said, "Twelve years are enough for him to complete the reform. Will he retire calmly after he succeeds?"

"Of course it's enough." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile.

But the question is, can my father-in-law live that long?

If nothing unexpected happens, he can only live a fraction of the life.

But I helped him avoid lead poisoning and cure hemorrhoids. I should be able to live for a few more years...
