Chapter 205 Guilty Edict
"Oh..." Zhang Juzheng sighed again: "It seems that the Empress is determined to let the lonely silkworms die until they die, and the candles die until they turn into ashes."
"It is my uncle and brother who can rely heavily on it for eight lifetimes!" Feng Baozhen said enviously.
Zhang Juzheng's eyes only had the silence after the struggle was ineffective.
The empress dowager cannot wait for a long time, nor can the emperor kneel for a long time. Zhang Juzheng put on his court robes again after several days, so he hurriedly followed Feng Bao back to the Forbidden City.
In Ningshou Palace, the two empress dowagers had already risen to their seats and waited. After hearing the news, they immediately announced their meeting.
Because Empress Li wanted to meet with foreign ministers, she put on her makeup again, put on a phoenix crown and a dine-like dress, and put on light makeup.
When she saw Xiang Zhang stepping in through the bead curtain, she couldn't help feeling a little hot. Since she returned to the palace, she has never been able to meet every day as before, so the empress dowager naturally missed her very much.
"I am Zhang Juzheng, please pay homage to the Queen Mother Rensheng, Empress Dowager Cisheng!" Zhang Juzheng knelt down and greeted him in a deep voice.
But Empress Dowager Li was just looking at him and forgot to speak.
Empress Dowager Chen coughed lightly, and she suddenly remembered what she was doing today and who was doing.
"Mr. Zhang, please be calm, and give him a seat." Empress Dowager Li said quickly.
"I dare not sit down. I am here to apologize from both palaces!" Zhang Juzheng took off the black veil on his head, kowtowed heavily and cried: "It's me that I have not taught the emperor well, and I have been betraying the empress dowager..."
Feng Bao also followed suit and said, "It's all Lao Nu, the big companion, who has not fulfilled his duties. Lao Nu is willing to apologize for his death, just want to give the emperor another chance!"
The two empress dowagers couldn't help but wipe away their tears when they apologized.
Empress Dowager Li cried and said, "Will you support me in this palace?"
"The Empress Dowager, please forgive me. I am in no way obeyed me!" Zhang Juzheng shook his head firmly and said, "The emperor has been in power for nine years and has long been obeyed by all the people and supported by all the people! Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not depose the empress dowager!"
"Just because of a moment of absurdity and making some minor mistakes, it cannot constitute a reason to abolish the emperor!" Zhang Xianggong said:
Empress Dowager Chen breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes and turned her rosary, and secretly chanted Amitabha Buddha.
"What's more, the emperor inherited the Empress's kind heart, wise and decisive heart. She has been committed to studying hard and practicing government affairs over the years, and she has become a hero of a generation!" Zhang Juzheng continued to persuade.
"My husband is too partial to him! If Zhu Yijun is really as good as you said, how could he do that... what happened?" Although Empress Dowager Li still used a questioning tone, the anger in her voice diluted a lot.
In fact, she was relieved? As Zhao Hao expected, Empress Dowager Chen was already in a difficult situation when she stopped her.
The key is that it would not do anything to depose Wanli. Even if the emperor who was replaced was still her son, she would only suffer endless pain. With Empress Dowager Li's smart calculations, she began to regret it after calming down. How can such a loss-making business be done?
Zhang Juzheng's attitude was exactly what she wanted, and she also expected that Zhang Xianggong, who was loyal and loyal, would definitely save his students, so she asked Feng Bao to invite him.
"No one is not a sage, so who can do nothing wrong?" Then Zhang Juzheng explained in a serious manner: "The emperor is eighteen years old, and he is full of energy and is tempted by the treacherous slander around him. It is normal to make such mistakes. But it should be regarded as a trial. As long as you know the mistakes and correct them, you must not give him a chance to correct them, Empress."
"Oh, did my husband make such a mistake when he was young?" Empress Dowager Li's tone became lighter and lighter... and Empress Dowager Chen pretended that he didn't hear it.
