Concubine Wang Gong is a poor person. She was imprisoned by Ciqing Palace for more than ten years and the mother and son who had originally depended on each other for life would never meet again.

Her condition worsened a few years ago.

Originally, I could still see people in a vague way, but gradually I couldn't see anything clearly, so I could only roughly distinguish a rough outline.

In May, her condition became very serious.

After learning that his mother was critically ill, the young master Zhu Changluo immediately went to the palace to see his father and asked his father to allow him to see his mother for the last time.

Wanli agreed to the eldest son's request.

In front of my mother's sickbed, looking at her birth mother with a weak breath, Zhu Changluo was in pain.

After a long time, Concubine Wang opened her eyes. Her hands were extremely thin. She slowly raised them up with difficulty, stroked her son's face, with tears in her eyes, and murmured: "My son has grown up, and I am willing to die."

"Mother…"

Zhu Changluo burst into tears and burst into tears, and he couldn't say anything.

Concubine Wang might know that her deadline was approaching, so she wanted to say a few more words to her son, but found that Concubine Zheng's personal eunuch Pang Bao was standing at the door. She couldn't help but tremble. Then she pointed at Pang Bao angrily and cursed with grief: "Why are you eavesdropping here!"

"Concubine Gong, why are I eavesdropping?"

Pang Bao looked innocent, and when he saw the prince glaring at him, he instinctively stepped back.

"Mother!"

Zhu Changluo pressed his anger and wanted to talk to his mother, but found that his mother never said anything again.

Concubine Wang did not die immediately, and she delayed it for another two days.

Before his death, there was only one young man named Wang Chengen who accompanied the prince's biological mother.

When Wang Chengen knocked on the gate of Ciqing Palace with red eyes, the guards outside knew what was going on.

Soon, Qianqing Palace learned about the news, and Cining Palace also learned about it.

Kunning Palace and Yikun Palace received messages at the same time.

The last one to know is the Eastern Palace.

Wanli ordered people to open the palace gate and told the prince to come and see the burial.

Zhu Changluo looked at the body of his skinny mother and cried loudly.

Ye Xianggao was the first official from the outside court to learn about the death of Concubine Wang Gong. At that time, he couldn't help but sigh.

I sighed that Concubine Gong had a hard life and finally failed to wait until the day her son made his debut.

Since Concubine Gong died, the corresponding funeral will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites, so the Prime Minister does not need to worry about it.

At this time, there was still only Ye Xianggao who was in the cabinet.

He was the chief minister, but he had no secondary assistant, and there were no cabinet ministers, so he was a big house, empty.

On this day, Ye Xianggao had handled several official duties and was about to go out of the cabinet and pass through the Meridian Gate to the east to discuss the matter of the Beijing inspection.

No matter how rigid things are, there must be some breakthroughs, otherwise the great opportunity for Beijing inspection this year will be wasted again.

Before leaving, he looked at the map of the nation hanging on the wall of the pavilion.

This picture was written by the emperor several months ago, which was specially sent to the cabinet. According to Si Li, the emperor sent a maritime eunuch to the south.

The maritime eunuch was not someone else, but the miscellaneous servant who had previously entrusted the official.

Speaking of this little eunuch, Ye Xianggao is familiar with it. Not long ago, Zhao Nanxing mentioned this person to him, intending to remove him from his official position.

Unfortunately, this man entered the palace in vain. Even if Ye Xianggao was the chief assistant, he could not directly interfere in the human affairs in the palace. He could ask for help from Eunuch Sun, but he thought that this man asked the emperor to send him to sea, and he was afraid that Eunuch Sun would have no choice but to do anything about him.

Speaking of this, Wei Liangchen also made great contributions. The military transformation of the Closed Gate was able to quickly calm down, and he made great efforts. It was also because this kid had made such contributions. Ye Xianggao, then he did not care about the villain's mistakes and did not care about him. Otherwise, with his superior as the chief minister, he would really insist on causing trouble, which would be impossible.

However, Ye Xianggao disagreed with Yu Haishi.

The world in the picture drawn on the wall seems to be ridiculous to the minister.

Most of them were Western missionaries Hu Ming used it to deceive His Majesty. His Majesty only had the benefits of gold and silver in his eyes, so he became interested in maritime affairs. He didn't know that the overseas was wilderness and going out to sea was useless.

However, Your Majesty did not order the court to handle maritime affairs after all, and the inner court had some trouble and Ye Xianggao was unwilling to talk too much. But the Wei Liangchen had no gains, Your Majesty naturally stopped in his interest.

Ye Xianggao thought of Chen Ju, the eunuch who passed away last year, who was in charge of the printing and the East Factory. This is really a virtuous supervisor. His death made Ye Xianggao feel very regretful.

After repeated sighs, Ye Xianggao wanted to leave the cabinet, but the office came to report that the Eastern Palace's Eunuch Wang An asked to see the cabinet master.

"Please quickly."

Since the two virtuous eunuchs of Sili, Tian Yi and Chen Ju, passed away one after another, Wang An became the only virtuous supervisor in the palace, and he also had a good relationship with the Donglin Party and was also a think tank around the prince. Ye Xianggao attaches great importance to it and is busy asking someone to invite Wang An in.

After Wang An came in, he saw Ye Xianggao, but he knelt down on the ground with a "thump" and said sadly: "Ge Lao, please help me with my brothers!"

Ye Xianggao was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang An and asked, "What are the instructions of the prince? Just say it bluntly, I will do whatever I want."

Wang An's eyes were a little red, his voice was very hoarse, and he cried: "The Master of the Pavilion is unknown. Concubine Gong has been dead for three days, but he still has not been mourning. He can't see the emperor's imperial order. I feel so aggrieved that I just cried. I really can't bear to see it. I dare to come and ask the Master of the Pavilion to make the decision for the prince!" After saying that, he was already full of tears.

"How can your Majesty be like this!"

Ye Xianggao was also angry, and he couldn't help feeling sad. He comforted Wang An and said, "Don't worry, prince, I will come to the palace to meet the saint, and be sure to let the imperial concubine fall into the land. Please tell the prince to tell the prince and let him be relieved."

"Thank you, Mr.!"

Wang An was very grateful.

Ye Xianggao immediately refused to go to the Ministry of Personnel and entered the palace alone to inform the emperor of this matter.

Perhaps Wanli knew that he was in the wrong, or perhaps he did not want to listen to Ye Xianggao's accusations, so he issued an imperial edict: "The funeral is based on the example of Shen, the imperial concubine of Emperor Shizong," and sent a message to the Ministry of Rites to report the ritual notes quickly.

When the officials of the Ministry of Rites presented etiquette and specific arrangements for funerals, Wanli did not approve it for five consecutive days. Ye Xianggao had to go to the palace to fight again. Only then did Wanli approve the request of the Ministry of Rites.

Feeling that the emperor was so cold and ruthless to the prince’s biological mother, Ye Xianggao felt deeply in crisis when he looked at the emperor’s kindness to the Fu King.

Zheng Concubine Chang Xun was named King Fu at the age of fifteen and married at the age of nineteen. According to the ancestral system, the prince had to return to the vassal state after the wedding, and could not enter the capital without being summoned. However, Zheng Concubine was eager to love her son and kept King Fu in the capital under various excuses. At present, she stayed in the capital for a long time on the grounds that the vassal palace had not yet been completed.

Ye Xianggao felt that it was indeed a very difficult thing for King Fu to return to the vassal state, but King Fu did not leave for a day, which was a threat to the prince's successful ascension to the throne one day.

A eunuch by the Grand Canal also felt the same threat as his husband of Fuqing.

The difference is that the person who threatened him was also a eunuch.

"If the emperor asked the emperor to know that Eunuch Chen actually bribed Li Sancai of the Donglin Party, he didn't know what the emperor thought of Eunuch Chen." Eunuch Wei smiled slightly.

He likes this kind of quarrel, especially the object is still a big fat piece of meat.

Shandong Mining Supervisor Chen Zeng, who is a perfectly fatty meat.

Fortunately, there was a letter from Li Yongzhen to report, otherwise this big fat piece of meat would have flew away from Eunuch Wei's mouth.

Of course, Tian Ergeng is also good. He can find out the secret of Chen Zeng and Li Sancai's relationship, and he knows how to give him the cheap benefits.

Not bad, not bad.

Originally, they were born from the same root, so why not be too urgent to fight each other?

Eunuch Wei has no psychological burden for extorting his colleagues.
