Thanks to the leader Daxian, "Brother Feng 98", for allocating 500 taels of entertainment for Eunuch Wei!

...

The imperial concubine must do this!

This is crucial because before his death, Queen Wang and Wanli lived together day and night.

This made Wanli very sad after Empress Wang's death and issued an order to investigate the precedents.

During the preparation of the funeral, there was a golden nanmu pillar in the incense hall of Wanshou Palace. Because it was partially damaged after aging, Wanli actually asked to replace the golden pillar immediately.

The Ministry of Works proposed to fill and repair the wood to save time. If a new column is replaced, it will take time. Wanli, who is already seriously ill, did not agree and asked again to replace the golden column immediately without delaying the funeral.

From this we can see how deeply the Queen Wang, who lived with him, left a deep impression on him in the last years of Wanli.

If Concubine Zheng was with Wanli at that time, I am afraid she would not have received the imperial edict from her husband until her husband died, and would not have left the matters of the queen for the prince, which would eventually become a waste of money.

Once a person gets older, the grudges of the past will easily fade away.

When Wanli was young, she was still very loving with Queen Wang. It was not until over the past decade that Wanli alienated her because of the country's foundation and the fact that Queen Wang's personality changed greatly due to her inability to have a child.

In the last days, Queen Wang's re-accompaniment made Wanli forgive her. It was Queen Wang's death that crushed Wanli, causing the emperor and empress to die around three months apart.

If Wanli had been with him after he was seriously ill, then Wanli would not have delayed the appointment of the imperial concubine as the queen because of his feelings for the queen. He would definitely be the queen immediately after the death of the queen!

The elderly are the easiest to be moved and moved.

Eunuch Wei did not hope that the imperial concubine could do this, but she had to let her do it.

This is not only related to the position of the imperial concubine as the queen, but also to whether Eunuch Wei can return to Beijing to participate in the political struggles of the three dynasties such as Wanli, Taichang and Tianqi.

The court has always been the core of power!

Whether it is for reform or reform, Eunuch Wei, he must return to the court.

The imperial concubine understood his profound meaning, and another meaning of company was to isolate China and abroad.

"Li Yongzhen from the East Factory, Tian Ergeng from the North Town, and Wang Tiqian from the Shangshenjian in the Palace are all available people. If there is anything inconvenient to do in the future, please ask them to do it."

As Eunuch Wei spoke, he took out a stacked note from his arms and handed it to the imperial concubine. The onion was his eyeliner and useful manpower deployed in Beijing in recent years, including the "spy" personnel affiliated to the Zuoanmen Maritime Eunuch Office.

"If there is something wrong, the empress above can be sent to you." Eunuch Wei solemnly explained.

The imperial concubine opened her eyes and found that there were many officials from the outside court on the note, and even a few censors who had written to write to scold her before, which surprised her a lot.

Seeing the imperial concubine's doubt, the father-in-law smiled and said, "There are no absolute enemies in the world, nor absolute friends. These people may have been deeply dissatisfied with the Empress because of the foundation of the country, but now the Empress is not their great enemy. The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend. As long as the Empress can help them, they will naturally repay their favor."

The imperial concubine silently accepted the list, looked up at her father-in-law, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Are you leaving?"

"After finishing my work here, I will go out to sea for a while, at least half a year or a year or a half." Eunuch Wei did not hide it from the imperial concubine, and he was indeed leaving.

"But as long as you have something to do, I will come back even from the ends of the world." The father-in-law gave the imperial concubine a promise.

The imperial concubine sighed: "It's good that you go out to sea. Because of the Shouning incident, Your Majesty is also angry with you. If you stay away, he will just be unable to see you."

After saying that, hesitated a little, and finally said, "Don't you go and see her mother and son?"

"I can't go to her place." My father-in-law shook his head.

The imperial concubine was surprised: "What?"

The father-in-law smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's eyes and ears."

The imperial concubine said "Oh" and comforted her softly: "If you don't go, don't go. It's great for both of you, I'll watch."

"Shu'er, you're so nice."

My father-in-law grabbed the imperial concubine's hand and kissed her gently.

"By the way, don't believe Fang Congzhe easily. Although he is a leader in the Zhejiang Party, he was recommended by Ye Xianggao after all. He does more for his own interests, so it is difficult for the empress to stand out..."

When his father-in-law told the imperial concubine that Fang Congzhe was just about to go out for fun, the imperial concubine hurriedly picked him up and went to the yard.

My son was going out to play, but the father followed him happily.

It was already evening, and most of the eunuchs who were busy in Shuiquan Courtyard had retreated elsewhere, with only a few nearby servants serving in the front yard.

Pang Bao was ordered not to enter the inner courtyard where the imperial concubine was located, so he was loyal to him and moved a stool to sit at the gate of the courtyard, looking like a few loyal slaves.

Since Liu Cheng and Jiang Lishan's death, Pang Bao, a eunuch who became a monk, has become a person who has benefited from the imperial concubine. Although the imperial concubine almost beat him to death because of his cousin Zhang Chai's affairs, fortunately the case has been closed and the Ministry of Justice has not been able to dig him out, so Eunuch Pang is still very glad that he was able to save his life.

It is inevitable that he will be afraid, and the trouble is that the father-in-law Li Yongzhen from the East Factory actually asked him Pang Bao to act as the eyeliner around Ma Tang's father-in-law.

Speaking of Eunuch Ma, Pang Bao was quite grateful. If Eunuch Ma hadn’t helped him back then, how could he have been able to enter the palace without him being able to reach his current status?

Emotionally speaking, Pang Bao was unwilling to spy on Eunuch Ma’s affairs for Li Yongzhen, but if he held his handle, if he refused, he would probably turn around and want to murder the prince and be charged with his crime.

Therefore, Pang Bao had to agree.

Seeing the concubine holding the little prince into the courtyard, Pang Bao stood up quickly.

The imperial concubine glanced at him and ignored him, but Eunuch Wei from behind smiled at him and waved her hand to signal not to be close. Pang Bao understood it naturally and quickly bowed to the front yard.

The imperial concubine put down her son and snorted slightly: "If you hadn't pleaded with me, I would have beaten him to death."

"Save it, maybe it's useful."

My father-in-law smiled and pulled Baier to coax him to learn to walk.

Zi Yatou had never walked away and had been fiddling with the flowers and plants that had been arranged in the yard. However, she looked absent-minded. She had glanced at the imperial concubine's house from time to time, and looked up at the sunset that was about to set, as if she wished it would be dark immediately.

What's even more embarrassing is that when squatting on the ground, Zi Yatou even clamped her legs intentionally or unintentionally, and she really didn't know what she was thinking.

Seeing the concubine coming out, her face was flushed. Zi girl subconsciously glanced at the empress below, then looked at Eunuch Wei again, then turned red and lowered her head and left.

"Why are you leaving?"

Eunuch Wei wondered that he was still going to talk to Zheng Shanggong.

The imperial concubine gave her father-in-law a blank look: "Did I not feed you?"

"How could that happen?" My father-in-law laughed.

The imperial concubine was really angry, and she was also amused. Thinking of what she said before, she asked: "What did you just say about Fang Congzhe?"

Speaking of serious matters, Eunuch Wei reminded the imperial concubine Fang Congzhe, who is a weak person, has a weak position, and is easily bewitched. Therefore, if there is something wrong in the future, the imperial concubine will have to be more careful and never be deceived by Fang Congzhe.

This is not the heart of a villain, but the lesson of the past.

When the father-in-law moved the palace in his previous life, although the main force was Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin Party members, the leader was Fang Congzhe, the cabinet minister.

Moreover, Fang Congzhe was also a fool when it came to the founding of Concubine Zheng. Although he did not directly respond like Sun Ruyou, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Donglin Party, he also used his decision to delay and was unwilling to do things according to the order.

In order to avoid making the population a reality, Fang Congzhe sent a plan to Taichang at that time that seemed to be both good. He proposed to secretly hide the imperial edict of Concubine Zheng's title of Empress in the cabinet, and temporarily kept it secret.

The reason is that "there are no evidence of the incident, but there is no evidence to be based on it. It is not without rituals to be carried out today; it is suspected of being absurd by the orders of the previous emperor. I have been respected and kept in the cabinet without any external slogans. The court will not be suspected of exceeding the rules, and the ministers will not show any signs of disobedience."

This statement is a typical official fool in later generations. Fang Congzhe first said that there was no precedent for promotion and it was difficult to do it. Then he said that he had to draft an order to follow the order. However, in order not to violate the ancestral system, he had to temporarily keep the cabinet and not send it out, and wait until the court is stable and then enthroned again.

This fooling around made Concubine Zheng have nothing to say, and the game ended.

Eunuch Wei just told the imperial concubine that there are no absolute enemies or absolute friends in the world. Now he and the Zhejiang Party have cooperated happily on the opening of the southeast. They also support each other in Beijing's fight against the Donglin Party, but this does not mean that Fang Congzhe and even the entire Zhejiang Party will help him Eunuch Wei promote Concubine Zheng as the queen.

Things are from multiple angles, and the ways they are expressed in different time periods are also different, and the interests they represent are also different.

Fundamentally speaking, in the matter of Concubine Zheng’s establishment, both Donglin and the Three Party members were the opposite of Eunuch Wei.

Therefore, we must be vigilant in cooperation, and we must not put it in one head and trust others as if they are heart-to-heart.

Eunuch Wei said a lot again, all of which were in the court, and the purpose was to hope that the imperial concubine could understand the movements of the court more clearly.

My father-in-law instructed Li Yongzhen, and after he left, Li Yongzhen would meet the concubine regularly and inform the concubine of the movements in the capital and the court in a timely manner to avoid misjudgment of the imperial concubine who had no source of information, which would lead to irreparable consequences.

Before leaving, the imperial concubine was reluctant to let him go. She heard that Eunuch Wei would accompany her in Xishan for a few days before she let him go.

At night, it is really dark and windy.

Eunuch Wei, who was familiar with the terrain, used his familiarity with the terrain to avoid the eyes and ears of the Black Flag Arrow Team, easily climbed over the courtyard wall, and had a little cramping when landing. It was supposed to be because of the intense daytime exercise.
