The leader of the Zhejiang Party, Fang Congzhe, has never been a close comrade-in-arms of Eunuch Wei. At most, he used each other with each other, or he did not want his colleagues to be too dissatisfied with him, so he forced himself to turn a blind eye and close his eyes.

After all, maritime affairs are the basic foundation of the Zhejiang Party, and most of the gentry and wealthy people from Zhejiang and Fujian are the gentry and wealthy people from Zhejiang and Fujian.

If you don’t agree to the cooperation between the Zhejiang Party and the maritime eunuchs and their cooperation, you may be smashed by someone.

However, this prime minister is obviously from the Zhejiang Party, but for some reason he always wants to get along well with the Donglin Party, which is a bit incredible.

Eunuch Wei once said that party struggles are not about treating guests to dinner, and both sides have fundamental opposing interests, so they must fight firmly.

To promote and promote.

This is the other party’s obedient one;

If you don’t behave, you have to fight.

Fang Congzhe was not like this. He seemed very afraid that the Donglin Party would be hit and would never make a comeback.

This is why during the last Beijing inspection, the major party alliance had the upper hand and could fight the Donglin Party in one fell swoop. But in the end, Fang Congzhe only dealt with less than twenty people on the grounds that he did not expand the attack, leaving a breath for the Donglin Party.

After that, taking advantage of the Liaodong slave rebellion and the court's vision was concentrated outside the pass, the Donglin Party began to slowly recover its vitality.

Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou jumped out as the emperor was seriously ill, which was a political test for them.

What's ridiculous is that they did not dare to test themselves, but instead mobilized their opponents, Zhejiang Party leaders to do this.

What's even more ridiculous is that Fang Congzhe really went.

The next morning, Fang Congzhe brought a group of people into the palace, but like the last few times, they were still blocked outside the palace gate. The reason given by the eunuch was that the emperor was still sleeping.

This reason was obviously untenable, so everyone discussed preparing to break into the palace gate. The one who led the way must be Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant.

When Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were about to inspire the chief assistant, Fang Congzhe retreated at this moment. Just when he was thinking about finding some reason to retreat, he found that the East Palace had come too.

Everyone was immediately excited and thought that the prince came over and would dare to stop him. Unexpectedly, the prince was also turned away like them.

Zhu Changluo came alone. After saying that he could not enter the palace, he turned around and left without even calling the ministers.

Everyone was stunned.

Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou looked at the back of the East Palace as they were leaving, and exchanged glances with each other. The glances contained confusion and concern: How could a prince be blocked outside the palace gate again and again? Is this the emperor's original intention, or is someone making trouble in secret?

They wanted to go forward and hold the prince, but they didn't dare to do so because doing so could easily be said to be a collusion between the Donglin Party and the prince.

Although this is a fact, it is necessary to avoid each other on the surface.

In this way, when Fang Congzhe no longer wanted to be the first to stand out, the ministers had no choice but to disperse themselves.

On the way back, Yang and Zuo discussed for a while and went to Wang Wenyan's house together. They planned to ask Wang Wenyan to go to the King's Place in the Eastern Palace and ask the Prince to tell the prince that he must not retreat if he knows the difficulty. He should take out his identity as the prince, go to the palace with confidence and accompany the emperor, go back early and go to taste medicine and food late, which not only shows the prince's filial piety, but also creates conditions for the prince to ascend the throne smoothly.

After hearing this, Wang Wenyan asked, "What if the eunuch continues to stop him?"

Yang Lian said decisively: "Then please ask Your Highness to break into the palace. You must see the emperor! I don't believe that the emperor will punish the prince?"

Zuo Guangdou agreed: "Yes, just do it without delay!"

Wang Wenyan respected Yang Lian's Zuo Guangdou very much. Seeing that both of them had this attitude, he immediately went to the East Palace to find Wang An.

Eastern Palace.

After listening to Wang Wenyan's retelling, Wang An admired Yang. The second person left the left, and immediately advised the prince: "Your Highness has always been weak and timid. He is afraid of his father and concubine Zheng. That is the past matter. Now that the country is in a critical moment, it will lead to a disaster if it is not handled properly. As the crown prince, you should be obliged to stand up. If you should make a decision, you must make a decision. When you should make an order, you must make an order. If you need to stay in the Ganqing Palace. If the emperor has any last words and decrees, you must not fall into the hands of others!"

After hearing what his grandfather said, Zhu Changluo seemed to have added some courage and confidence, and said to Wang An: "Then I will go to the Qing Palace again later, but... but the eunuchs guarding the gate still refused to let me in. What should I do?"

Wang An said firmly: "Then go to the palace! Scolding those slaves who blocked their way, and walking in with a swagger."

Then, he said, "Your Highness, don't worry. I'll go find Eunuch Sun now. If you have Eunuch Sun's arrangements, those servants who are not open will not dare to stop Your Highness."

"Okay, I'm a big partner!"

After hearing this, Zhu Changluo seemed to be enlightened and more confident. In the afternoon, he came to the Ganqing Gate alone again. When he arrived at the door, he saw Concubine Zheng sitting in a sedan chair and leaving the palace.

The "mother and son" looked at each other from afar, and no one said anything.

The eunuch on duty, Jia Daquan, is anxious now. If you don’t let the prince go in, you concubine have to say something!

"Why don't you let Your Highness enter the palace to visit the emperor!"

Sun Xian, the eunuch who had been waiting for the Eastern Palace to come, appeared in time, and the eunuchs Bingbi Liang Dong and Qian Shun were with him.

Liang Dong supported the Eastern Palace. Qian Shun was a member of Empress Dowager Li in his early years. Regardless of whether Empress Dowager Li is present or not, he must also support the Eastern Palace.

It can be said that since Jin Zhong returned to old age, the current Silijian people almost always support the East Palace, including the newly promoted Ma Tang.

In the twenty-four prisons, if you want to say which prison supports the Imperial Concubine, it may be the Imperial Horse Prison and the Imperial Official Prison. However, the Imperial Horse Prison’s eunuch is old and basically doesn’t ask much about it now. Therefore, it is hard to say what the Imperial Horse Prison’s attitude is now.

The reason why the Inner Official Supervision supported the Imperial Concubine was that they did not have any seals. In name, the "top leader" of the Inner Official Supervision was the former Duke of Wei Liangchen who was outside the army.

However, the internal officials and supervisors have no power, and it is the same with their support or not.

It is precisely because of the fact that there are not many people supporting Concubine Zheng in the inner court that Wei Liangchen asked Concubine Zheng to live with Wanli no matter how it is, and it is best to isolate China and abroad.

The reason is that when the "son-in-law" is gone, the only thing the imperial concubine can rely on is actually her emperor husband.

The ancestors of the palm seal had spoken, and the imperial concubine left the palace again, so Jia Daquan dared not stop the crown prince. So Zhu Changluo successfully entered the Ganqing Palace and successfully met his father.

Wanli didn't know the arrival of his eldest son, and he was sleeping. The defeat of the Liaodong Dusong and Malin tribes made his condition worse and made him exhausted.

"Don't worry, your highness, there will be no problem here." Sun Xian said in a low voice beside the East Palace.

Zhu Changluo naturally understood what Sun Xian meant and hurriedly said, "I'm working hard."

Looking at the emperor on the hospital bed, Sun Xian suddenly said, "It's just that it's inappropriate to let the imperial concubine live in the Ganqing Palace, and there are many inconveniences. I'm willing to invite the Kunning Palace to come."

Zhu Changluo was shocked, looked around, and lowered his voice: "She is willing?"

Sun Xian knew who this "she" was, and he whispered: "As long as the Kunning Palace stands up, she will have to accept it even if she doesn't want to."

Zhu Changluo didn't think about it, so he bowed to Sun Xian and said sincerely: "I'm sorry for this matter."

"This is my duty."

Sun Xian hurriedly returned the gift to the East Palace. Although he was an inner minister, he did not dare to accept the gift from the East Palace.

Zhu Changluo was excited at this time. With the support of the eunuch of the Sili and the Queen, how could Concubine Zheng be isolated from China and abroad?

However, what he didn't know was that after leaving the palace, Concubine Zheng ran to his East Palace, and was now teasing the nine-year-old Zhu Youjian.

Since the father ordered her mother Liu Shunun to be beaten to death, she was first raised by the crown princess Guo. After Guo died, she was taken by "Dong Li", so she has a good relationship with Dong Li, the adoptive mother.

The school brother was not in the East Palace, and he was led by his companion Wei Zhongxian to Wenhua Palace to listen to his teacher Sun Chengzong's lecture.

There are many concubines of the prince of the Eastern Palace, but the person in charge is "Xi Li". Compared with the beautiful and scheming "Xi Li", "Dong Li" is not good at speaking and is silent and smiling, so most of them only live in their Fengchen Hall without asking about things.

But this time it was the Imperial Concubine who came here, and no one of the concubines in the East Palace was alarmed. When Dong Li heard the news, he was shocked and reacted and quickly brought Brother Jian to greet the "grandmother".

Xi Li was also shocked when she saw Concubine Zheng uninvited. Perhaps Concubine Zheng was too powerful. Even though she was a "fighting man" in the East Palace on weekdays, she stood there like a mouse who saw a cat and didn't dare to breathe.

"Everyone sits down and talks,"

Concubine Zheng had a kind smile on her face and pulled Jian Ge'er's nominal grandson, left and right, and was very happy.

Xi Li and Dong Li looked at it and would give the honor to Emperor Zheng first. Then they all sat down uneasy. They were all out of their minds and did not dare to speak nonsense. They just hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come back quickly.

How could Concubine Zheng not know what these "daughter-in-law" were thinking? She didn't care and asked about Brother Jian'er's studies.

Brother Jian’er’s answer was fluent, and his well-behaved look made Concubine Zheng like it from the bottom of her heart.

After a while, the imperial concubine asked her to take Brother Jian down, then looked at the daughter-in-law, and finally her eyes fell on Xi Li's face.

Xi Li's scalp was numb when the imperial concubine saw it, but she didn't dare to turn her head, so she could only sit timidly. The imperial concubine smiled and turned to Dong Li and the others. She said nothing about these "daughter-in-law". Finally, she suddenly asked them all to go back and only Xi Li was there.

This scared Xi Li's little heart to the point of jumping out. She stammered and asked about the emperor's condition.

"Your Majesty is not in good health. Some days I don't want to have a meal, I'm sleeping all day long, and occasionally I'm ill and exhausted when I wake up."

The imperial concubine did not hide it from Xili at all.

"Your Majesty is not old, this disease is temporary and will improve in a few days..." Xi Li also symbolically comforted the nominal "mother-in-law" of the imperial concubine.

"Maybe,"

The imperial concubine looked outside and suddenly lowered her voice to Xi Li: "If His Majesty dies, my sister is the most favored by the prince, and she will definitely be promoted to the queen. Don't forget me, the sister."

"ah?..."
