But one morning.

Suddenly, the Forbidden City felt even more busy.

The instructor who was in a hurry.

The female official bowed her head and rushed to the road.

The guards patrolling with their heads raised.

It seems to be a tense atmosphere at the same time.

Empress Dowager Chen was originally in another palace, but since Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, he followed the request from the Ministry of Rites and discussed with Empress Dowager Li to give him Ciqing Palace.

Ciqing Palace was originally the Eastern Palace. Zhu Yijun lived there for six years, so he was naturally familiar with it.

But when Zhu Yijun came to Ciqing Palace, he felt very different.

The familiar buildings seem rigorous today.

Of course someone reported it to him.

Zhu Yijun waited quietly outside the hall.

After a while, the eunuch Zhang Jing ran back in a short stroll.

He said with some fear on his face: "Your Majesty, Chen Daqian said that the Empress did not rest well last night, and the Imperial Doctor took medicine before going to bed."

Zhu Yijun stood outside the hall without moving for a moment.

This is exactly the same as the reply I received when I went to another palace to pay my respects to Queen Mother Chen for the first time.

I didn't notice it at that time, but now it seems that it's really hard to describe it.

I was rejected at that time, and now I am no exception.

I can't become the emperor, so I will force myself to break into my mother's bedroom.

In the end, he could only give Empress Chen a good manner outside the palace, turn around and leave.

He still can't understand why Empress Dowager Chen helped Gao Gong.

For power?

Zhu Yijun shook his head and quickly rejected Gao Gong's five urgent matters, advocating strengthening the cabinet, gathering imperial power, and isolating the inner palace's interference in politics.

If both of them were for power, it would be impossible to reach a consensus.

Taking a step back, even if Gao Gong made some concessions, Empress Dowager Chen has no son, so what other unreasonable thoughts can he have?

Wait until I am a grown-up liquidation, isn’t it a waste?

For the sake of fame?

Zhu Yijun once again rejected this conjecture.

In any case, she is the queen mother. No matter how bad she is, she is just an equal to Queen Mother Li. It is better to be quiet than to move. Why should she take the risk to help Gao Gong?

It's not impossible, it's just that the possibility is too low.

After thinking about it, it was even more impossible for other relatives, kindness, etc.

He could hardly imagine a reasonable possibility.

You can't just be deceived by Gao Gong, right?

That's too underestimating the world.

He has been traveling through time until now, and because he underestimated the ancients, he has suffered losses from Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong one after another.

Now it is impossible for him to underestimate him.

No matter what the purpose of Queen Mother Chen was, he had to expect the enemy to be lenient.

Zhu Yijun slowly thought about countermeasures.

In history, Gao Gong's new policy was approved for five urgent matters, but he was dismissed within two days.

This shows that after Zhang Juzheng came back, he soon had a countermeasure and obeyed Empress Dowager Chen, and asked the emperor and the two palaces to issue an order to dismiss Gao Gong.

Since there are not much twists and turns, then Queen Mother Chen will definitely make a breakthrough better than Gao Gong.

He didn't know what the Iron Triangle used.

But Zhu Yijun knew that he could not hold on any longer.

If Empress Dowager Chen and Gao Gong really control the government, the situation will be difficult.

but.

Zhang Juzheng colluded with the inner court and all of them had to pass through Feng Bao.

Gao Gong naturally could not cross the eunuchs as a transportation.

Therefore, talents like Chen Hong are so good at jumping up and down.

Then... he wants to break the deadlock now, and he may really fall on Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Zhu Yijun sighed.

After all, if you have a sharp blade in your heart, your murderous intention will arise.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Hong's godson, Zhang Jing, and ordered: "Tell me about Empress Chen."

Zhang Jing responded and replied, "Which aspect does Master Want to listen to?"

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "Tell me."

Faced with such ambiguous request, Zhang Jing had to start from his life: "In April of the 37th year of Jiajing, the late emperor passed away at that time."

"In August of the same year, Emperor Shizong issued an edict to select a successor concubine for the late emperor."

Zhu Yijun was stunned and interrupted, "It's only four months? Don't you need to mourn for a year?"

The original wife will also have to mourn when she dies, but it’s just a little shorter time.

Zhang Jing nodded and explained: "At that time, Emperor Shizong personally issued an edict to seize the love, but the late emperor refused to do so."

"On the ninth day of the ninth month, Empress Chen was chosen as her step concubine."

It is not surprising that Emperor Shizong issued an edict.

My son has died too much, and I guess he is looking forward to more births from King Yu.

But in this case, no wonder there is no emotion.

Zhu Yijun nodded and signaled him to continue.

Zhang Jing said, "In the first year of Longqing, after the first emperor ascended the throne, he promoted Empress Chen to become the queen and had a title of relatives."

Zhu Yijun interrupted, "What is the relationship between Empress Chen and his relatives?"

This is also very important.

It is impossible for Empress Dowager Chen to understand his current actions, and one of his relatives must search his home.

But they still insist on doing it. Logically speaking, people with weaknesses should not ignore the overall situation so much.

It really puzzled him.

Zhang Jing recalled and said, "At first, the relationship is very good, and the fateful women also walk around very frequently."

"but……"

He paused: "When Empress Chen was driven to another palace by the late emperor, the censors often advised the late emperor."

"The Chen family also submitted a memorial to persuade him, but was intimidated by the late emperor, and then quickly submitted a memorial to approve the late emperor..."

"Since then, both sides disappeared when they walked around, and even the Chen family, who were guarding other palaces, were driven away."

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun thought it was difficult.

When he was sent to the cold palace, his relatives helped the late emperor for wealth. You can imagine what he felt in his heart.

This kind of legitimate mother, the Empress Dowager who came out of the cold palace, has a character who disregards her relatives. Isn’t this a good heroine in the palace fighting?

He asked, "In what year did Empress Chen get driven to another palace?"

Zhang Jing thought for a while: "In the third year of Longqing, the late emperor moved Empress Dowager Chen out of Kunning Palace on the grounds that he had no children and had many illnesses, and rushed to another palace to live."

Zhu Yijun frowned and interrupted Zhang Jing again.

He wondered, "Son-free and sick?"

No children means no children, and many diseases means many diseases.

If you can't have children all the time, it's understandable that you are disliked by the late emperor, after all, the times are different.

The problem is, there are many diseases... If you are already many diseases, it is impossible to pass the level of choosing a stepmother.

That is why it is more ill afterwards?

Then it is probably not unreasonable to put these diseases together with the lack of children.

Zhang Jing hesitated for a while and buried his head: "I heard from my godfather that I seem to have been pregnant and not born, and I have fallen into the root of the disease."
