Facing Empress Dowager Li, she was so disagreeable and differentiated.

Not to mention Zhang Siwei, even Shen Shixing, Yu Youding knew it very well.

Who doesn’t know that you, Empress Dowager Li and the Emperor, are both of the same virtue. When you use people, you face forward and when you don’t use people, you face backward.

When Zhang Ju was in office, Empress Dowager Li entrusted the entire state affairs. The two of them were so happy that they thought they had a crush on the streets and alleys.

Otherwise, where did the couplet "The Black-hearted Prime Minister Lying on Dragon Bed" come from?

But as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, his kindness was as good as paper in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Juzheng served in the country for ten years and devoted himself to the country and the country until his death. But your Zhu family used the search and the posthumous title to repay his kindness to repay his achievements in assisting the government?

It is normal for the emperor to take power in a low position, to instigate the censors and to have some resentment towards Zhang Juzheng's power.

But you can't understand Empress Dowager Li? At that time, you were chasing Gao Gong, helping Zhang Juzheng as the chief minister, and entrusting state affairs to him. Now that he has been confiscated, you have not persuaded him. Today, Zhang Juzheng's family ended up like this, and the emperor and the empress dowager must be half of the responsibility of each.

Of course, Empress Dowager Li knew this, but she believed that the truth was not as good as the power position. She was in the forefront of the chief minister, with the extreme ministers, civil officials, and examples of all officials. She did not believe that Shen Shixing was not moved.

Empress Dowager Li looked at Shen Shixing with anticipation.

But when Shen Shixing saw that he kowtowed three times, he said, "Donald Taiyue has made great contributions to the country and the country. Only those who have great contributions can have a virtue and position. How can I compare with the Duke of Taiyue, and I dare not look at the position of the chief minister. Therefore, I beg the Empress Dowager to restore the title of the Taiyue Duke from all officials, so that all officials will appreciate the sacred virtues of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty."

Empress Dowager Li made great plans but did not expect that Zhang Siwei's father was seriously ill and he was about to return to his hometown to observe the system. In the past two years, Shen Shixing will replace him as the chief assistant, and Zhang Siwei will be fully equipped.

In order to consolidate Zhang Siwei's power is not in the court, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing have already reached some kind of power exchange.

After Shen Shixing finished speaking, Empress Dowager Li felt dizzy and Eunuch Gao and others couldn't help but come forward to support him. Empress Dowager Li opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Siwei who was kneeling. Shen Shixing couldn't help but regret it: "If Zhang Juzheng was still in the court today, how could there be any officials knocking on the palace? You are incompetent."

Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing said nothing.

When Zhang Juzheng was not here, he thought of his benefits. If he had known this, why would he have been there?

Zhang Siwei said: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true. When Zhang Taiyue was in power, he advocated that officials from six ministries should be recruited to various places to appease the people. The six ministries should be recruited to six ministries, and the cabinet should be recruited to the officials from top to bottom. In order to correct Zhang Taiyue's abuse of politics, the ministers would be responsible for the affairs to the six ministries and the censors. Everything would be the eternal state of the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, some ministers would be promiscuous today."

Zhang Siwei said this and felt anger in his heart.

Emperor, don’t you want to restrict the power of the cabinet? OK, it turns out that when Zhang Ju was in office, the cabinet was in charge of the six departments, and the six departments were punished. One level was from the central government to the local government, from top to bottom.

Now the emperor has taken back the power to the cabinet, and the censors dare to impeach the cabinet, and Zhang Siwei is almost forced to resign.

The emperor and the empress dowager made Zhang Juzheng so miserable. Several senior officials in the Pavilion were inevitably sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, and everyone was in danger.

Now Lin Yanchao has issued a public memorial for the whole world, which has caused everyone to be unfair. All officials are extremely dissatisfied with the Queen Mother and King Lu. Without the cabinet to turn around, how can the Queen Mother step down?

Zhang Siwei is in the ‘General’!

Zhang Siwei continued to kowtow and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is incompetent, and it is absolutely true. Everything is my fault. I ask the Empress Dowager to give up your crime!"

The emperor blamed himself: "I know that Mr. Zhang has done his best. I shouldn't have settled Mr. Taiyue, so it's out of control. All of this is my fault."

Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing, Yu Youding said: "Your Majesty, I am so guilty, and I will not be able to atone for my sins after death."

The emperor cried and said, "Mr. Taiyue asked for the people, but he suffered unjust injustice. The Yellow River was defeated by the people several times, and I cannot appease me. I am truly ashamed of the emperor and supported by all the people. Today, I can only issue an edict to punish myself, reflect on my subjects and people all over the world, and review my faults. Mr. Zhang asked me to draw an edict for me!"

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing, Yu Youding kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty's saint is like a white jade, and it must not be flawed. It must not be like this!"

The emperor looked up to the sky and said nothing.

At this time, behind the bead curtain, Empress Dowager Li sneered, "You civil officials, what you ask for the people, what you do for the public, are false and false. Only the struggle for power and profit is true. You praise the righteousness of the monarch and ministers and the words of Confucius and Mencius all day long, but you are full of misfortune. No one has ever been more hypocritical and shameless than you civil officials!"

The empress dowager scolded her angrily, and the three auxiliary ministers did not dare to contradict her.

Empress Dowager Li cried behind the bead curtain: "The Ai family understands, what is the world for the people and the support of the king? To put it bluntly, you civil officials like you unite to deal with the wife of the Ai family."

"You said I am Empress Lü. If I really want to be Empress Lü, will these ministers dare to be arrogant? You are bullying the female Ai family."

After saying that, Empress Dowager Li said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Ai family asks you, except for King Lu, in the future, what happened to the harem? Have you interfered in your affairs in this year? Have you ever asked about the government affairs?"

The emperor cried and said, "The Queen Mother has never said anything, all of this is my opinion."

"How dare they say that the Ai family is Empress Lu? It is said that the Ai family is a hen Sichen?" Empress Dowager Li cried, "Your son, you have to open your eyes and see clearly. These civil officials are like Lin Yanchao. They are deliberately evil in the name of Empress Lu and King Lu to show their merits to you, and their hearts are punished!"

After the Queen Mother's words, the Emperor hesitated again.

But at this time, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing would not let this happen?

"I report to the Empress Dowager," Zhang Siwei said at this time, "When the late emperor was there, the national treasury was only two million taels a year, and the Lu Wang used one wedding to get six million taels, which was enough for the three years of Taicang. The blood and sweat of hundreds of millions of people in the world were only used to support Lu Wang, so the people would not be resentful."

"I remember that when the late emperor was in power, he did not even kill a donkey, and King Lu was extravagant. If the late emperor learned, how could he comfort him in the nine springs? The empress dowager's mother can be the world, but only for this matter, I have to give a direct advice!"

Shen Shixing said: "The Empress Dowager's mother treats the world and brings kindness to the people. But King Lu is the son of the Empress Dowager, but the thousands of people in the world are also the son of the Empress Dowager? I ask the Empress Dowager to pity him!"

The emperor also looked unbearable when he heard this: "My mother, the Yellow River has flooded, and millions of people have no food and clothing. Su Song has also suffered floods, and the military pay of the Nine Borders has been owed for many years. If you continue to marry Lu Wang and do it in a big way, I may lose the hearts of the people in the world."
