Chapter 159: Meeting the Queen Mother

Zhang Siwei took the memorial and looked at it, and his expression changed drastically after reading it.

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. This person dared to arrange the cabinet's assistants in this way. This trend cannot be opened. Otherwise, what's the face of the court? Ru Mo, how do you deal with this matter?"

Zhang Siwei is naturally a personal talent. Seeing that the situation was wrong, he immediately kicked the ball to Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing thought to himself that you have older experience in the cabinet than me, so naturally I can’t kick the ball back.

"Ziwei, why not report this matter to Taiyue Gong truthfully and see how Taiyue Gong dealt with it."

"this......"

Zhang Siwei was obviously hesitant.

The last time Chen Lun impeached Zhang Juzheng made him feel scared. Chen Lun took responsibility alone, otherwise he would be doomed.

This time, Zhang Juzheng was impeached again. Wouldn’t he really make Zhang Juzheng suspicious again?

"Ziwei, is there any difficulties?"

"Of course not."

Zhang Siwei had no choice but to respond in a deep voice: "Let's talk together."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked to Zhang Juzheng's side, patted Zhang Juzheng on the shoulder and said in a harmonious voice: "Duke Taiyue, Duke Taiyue, wake up."

Zhang Juzheng opened his eyes in a daze and was surprised to see Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing standing in front of him.

"Ziwei and Rumo are both here, is there anything?"

Zhang Siwei said with a bitter face: "Duke Taiyue, this is a memorial just sent by Tongzhengsi. You can take a look."

"oh."

Zhang Juzheng responded lightly, took the memorial and read it.

After reading the memorial, he did not react as fiercely as Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing, and said coldly: "It seems that I have to enter the palace again."

"Duke Taiyue decided to pay homage to Your Majesty?"

Zhang Siwei asked tentatively.

"I am the one who impeached this memorial. Of course, I cannot make a decision, so I can only be judged by His Majesty."

"Taiyue Gong Gaoyi!"

Zhang Siwei flattered her and glanced at Shen Shixing, who was silent on the side, and felt disdainful.

This old guy really can't make a fuck, and he is still pretending to be mute at this time.

Zhang Juzheng rolled up his memorial and left the duty room, sat on his shoulder and headed towards the inner palace.

......

......

Zhang Juzheng did not go to the Ganqing Palace directly, but went to the Cining Palace first.

The two little eunuchs carried their shoulders and walked all the way, and finally stopped in front of the Cining Palace.

The eunuch Huang, the eunuch in charge of Cining Palace, saw Zhang Yuanfu's carriage stopping in front of Dan, and hurriedly walked down the palace and diligently helped Zhang Juzheng up.

"Old Master Ge, why are you here in Cining Palace? The cabinet cannot do without you."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "I have something to do to see the Queen Mother."

Eunuch Huang was stunned. On weekdays, Mr. Zhang was extremely cautious and even when he came to the harem, he only went to the Qing Palace.

What happened today? Mr. Zhang came to Cining Palace without any scruples.

With Mr. Zhang, naturally no one will gossip, but will Your Majesty feel disgusted?

Of course these words were not what he should have asked. He smiled and said, "I will go and report it."

After all, Zhang Juzheng was a foreign minister. When he asked to meet the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace, he needed a special clerk to record his words and deeds. These must be arranged in advance.

Eunuch Huang went into the palace to report to Empress Dowager Li, and then arranged all matters before turning them back and introducing Zhang Juzheng into the palace.

As soon as Zhang Juzheng entered the hall, he wanted to pay a great gift to Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li quickly raised her hand and said, "The Master of the Court is a loyal minister of the court, so there is no need to be too polite. Huang An, don't give him a seat to the gentleman."

Eunuch Huang quickly asked the eunuch to lift a brocade pun and put it in the hall. Zhang Juzheng did not hesitate to lift up the hem of his robe and sat down.

"Gei, what's the point of asking for the Ai family?"

Although Empress Dowager Li never interferes in politics, she pays great attention to the education of the emperor.

She had personally visited the Ganqing Palace to supervise the emperor's study more than once. Although this behavior gradually decreased after the emperor's wedding, she had subtly influenced the emperor through other methods.

The role of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao is self-evident.

Now that Zhang Juzheng is asking to see her, Empress Dowager Li's first reaction is that the emperor has caused trouble again.

Zhang Juzheng sighed and said, "The old minister is here to resign from the Empress Dowager."

Although Empress Dowager Li is only 32 years old this year, she is very mature and steadfast, but she was still shocked when she heard this sentence: "What nonsense is the Master of the Pavilion? What are you talking about? Why are you resigning from your official position?"

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "I have no choice but to teach my son, and the rebellious son does such evil things. I am really shameless to continue to serve in the court."

Empress Dowager Li hurriedly said, "Why do you say this?"

"Mrs. Please take a look at this memorial to impeachment of the minister."

Zhang Juzheng raised the memorial high above his head and spoke sincerely.

Empress Dowager Li hesitated for a moment and asked Huang An to take the memorial over.

She didn't want to ask about politics at first, but the matter involved Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng had to resign, so she couldn't just ask about it.

She opened the memorial and read the film for a while, laughed in silence, "Does Mr. Zhang resign because of this matter?"

Zhang Juzheng said with a solemn expression: "I have no choice but to teach my son, and I have no face to face Your Majesty, and I have no face to face the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Li sighed, stood up and walked to Zhang Juzheng and said, "Gei Master Zhang has worked hard and made great contributions. What is the fault of the juniors? Don't act irritably. The country and country of the Ming Dynasty cannot be separated from the Gei Master."

Zhang Juzheng shed tears in his eyes, "The Empress Dowager treats me like this, so I will be ashamed of myself."

"Ai family saw that the impeachment of the cabinet is just an unknown person. He probably wanted to take this opportunity to become famous. The Ai family fulfilled his wish and ordered Feng Bao to take his scepter to vent his anger. What do you think?"

Zhang Juzheng quickly shook his head: "Empress Dowager, never do it."

After a moment of pause, Zhang Juzheng continued: "What this person says is based on evidence, and it is not a slander. How can he order the Jinyiwei Guard to be scepter? If this is true, wouldn't the old minister become a slander who deceives the king and his father?"

"What should I do according to the opinions of the elder?"

After all, Empress Dowager Li is a wife and doesn't care much about the government affairs on weekdays. This is really a difficult situation.

"The court should praise this person, and I will punish the unfilial son. Only in this way can the court be righteous."

When Empress Dowager Li heard it was indeed very reasonable, but this seemed a little aggrieved by Zhang Juzheng.

Of course, Zhang Juzheng knew what Empress Dowager Li was thinking. He said with a solemn expression: "Empress Dowager, if this is not the case, the court will lose its heart. What does the honor and disgrace of me alone count in front of the court?"

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she admired Zhang Juzheng and nodded frequently, "Gei Master is really wise and I believe the emperor will understand the good intentions of the Gei Master. The Ai family will go to the Ganqing Palace and explain it to the emperor."
