Chapter 13 The Woman Who Has Experienced Three Dynasties
After being asked by Empress Dowager Li, Fu Dahai found that he was in a dilemma, and he was a sea of fire.
I originally planned to praise Zhu Yili for his son's excellent mother-in-law, so that he would not settle the score with him when Zhu Yili comes back.
It's very good to think about it.
But Empress Dowager Li didn't believe it at all.
Then you can't lie again and scold Zhu Yiliu?
He is Prince Lu.
Who doesn’t know in the palace? Although Empress Dowager Li scolds and beats Prince Lu, it is just a reflection of her deep love and blame. She doesn’t know how much love she loves her in her heart.
If you want to criticize me, you can only criticize me by Empress Dowager Li himself. Who dares to do that?
Unless you don't want to stay in the Forbidden City.
Besides, in order to be able to handle the job with Empress Dowager Li, didn’t he disobey Zhu Yili?
How dare I criticize him again? Empress Dowager Li can't stare at her son every day.
Fu Dahai knelt in front of Empress Dowager Li and didn't know what to do, with a dead mother expression.
But Empress Dowager Li was still anxious.
Zhang Juzheng was seriously ill and bedridden, so she felt panicked. She was also afraid that Zhu Yili would talk nonsense and do anything inappropriate.
So she was anxious to find out.
But Fu Dahai said that Prince Lu performed very well today, but she didn't believe it...
"You're talking!"
Empress Dowager Li always had a sense of fierceness. When her face was gloomy, even Emperor Wanli was trembling.
It is definitely not OK to pretend to be dead and not speak at this time.
But what should I say?
Fu Dahai could only remember the memories with all his life to see if he could remember some of Zhu Yili's words.
No praise.
But it's not derogatory.
As for which end is happy and which end is unhappy, Fu Dahai can't control it for the time being, and only knows that both sides can't afford to offend them.
"Empress, Prince Lu didn't say anything nonsense in front of Mr. Zhang. He went to analyze Mr. Zhang's condition."
"What did he say?" Because he was angry and anxious, Empress Dowager Li did not let Fu Dahai get up.
Fu Dahai was still kneeling, and he replied tremblingly: "Empress, Prince Lu seems to say that Mr. Zhang's disease is due to yin deficiency. He can't see things clearly in his right eye. He can't get rid of the stool recently..."
Empress Dowager Li was slightly stunned, it seemed like a child had said this early in the morning.
"Prince Lu also said that a person's body looks like gossip. No matter how specifically it is, I can't remember it. Anyway, Mr. Zhang and the Zhang family's butler think it's reasonable."
When the "gossip" was mentioned, Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but stagnate again.
She was particularly impressed by this.
It seems that Fu Dahai did not lie in front of her.
"Prince Lu also said that Mr. Zhang should not take any tonics anymore, and should revive the decline like Mr. Zhang was the first to handle state affairs when he was the prime minister. It was not to replenish it, but to discharge it."
After Fu Dahai finished speaking, he looked at Empress Dowager Li timidly, but he was like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment, and he did not dare to look at Empress Dowager Li's eyes.
Empress Dowager Li was in a little relieved, but she still did not let Fu Dahai get up.
Because from the conversation with her child Zhu Yiliu in the early morning, what made her anxious was not because of analyzing Zhang Juzheng's condition, but because of her judgment on Zhang Juzheng's physical condition.
When she thought of the child saying "Mr. Zhang's body was almost hollowed out, I'm afraid it won't last long", waves of panic hit her heart.
This feeling was like she was about to fall down, even so strong that she would rather not be able to hold on for long.
She couldn't even imagine the scene where Zhang Juzheng assisted his eldest son, Emperor Wanli.
In her mind, the eldest son is far from able to take charge of the rule.
She once said such words, and they have spread throughout the government and the country. Emperor Wanli could not try to rule in the power of the country at the age of 30.
But it seems inaccurate to say that this is completely unbelievable about his eldest son's ability.
To be precise, it should be said that she knew it was difficult to rule.
Although she is a woman, and she is only in her thirties, she has gone through three dynasties. Every dynasty has been through ups and downs.
When she was Zhu Zai's woman, Zhu Zai's was still King Yu at that time.
Because Emperor Jiajing believed in the truth, he thought about refining alchemy and became an immortal all day long, and believed in the nonsense of "the two dragons cannot meet" (his two sons died early, which made him even more superstitious about this curse).
Therefore, the third son Zhu Zai'an should be appointed as the crown prince in the order of inheritance, but he was embarrassed to survive as King Yu until Emperor Jiajing's death, which became an extremely special instance of the Ming Dynasty.
So much so that her eldest son Zhu Yijun was born, Emperor Jiajing, who was the grandfather, did not look at him or gave his grandson a name.
Zhu Yijun didn't have his own name until he was five years old. I'm afraid that only Empress Dowager Li can understand the bitterness of this.
Then, her husband ascended the throne and became emperor. The sixth year of Longqing Dynasty was considered peaceful, but Emperor Longqing Zhu Zai'er was obsessed with wine and sex, and was extremely lazy. After six years of being the emperor, he only attended the morning court twice...
As such a shrewd imperial concubine, how distressed she feels, how many people know?
It is precisely because of this that she demanded extremely strictness on her eldest son, Crown Prince Zhu Yijun, for fear of following his grandfather and father's old path in the future.
When her son ascended the throne and became emperor, she was only ten years old and was in a bad situation where the cabinet ministers fought each other. She was really worried and worried that she could not sleep day and night.
Outsiders only know that she likes to read scriptures and recite Buddha, and praised her as "Guanyin Empress" and "Nine Lotus Bodhisattva".
But how many people understand that she just borrowed Buddhist scriptures to purify her inner world, or even used it to pass the torment of time?
It was not until she joined forces with Empress Dowager Chen to drive Gao Gong out of the capital and promote Zhang Juzheng as the chief minister that she could see hope and light.
It can be said that whether it is the day when she was Princess Yu, the day when she was the imperial concubine, or the day when she was the empress dowager.
Every day of these three dynasties was spent on thin ice and trembling.
After finally ushering in the prosperous era of Wanli Zhongli, how could she not know how difficult it is?
So she was worried that her eldest son would not be able to maintain the prosperous situation.
This is why he said that Emperor Wanli is not allowed to rule before he was thirty years old.
But now, Zhang Juzheng fell ill in bed, and Zhu Yiliu said something that would not last long, which made her heart suddenly messed up.
That's not that it's as simple as being afraid that the child Zhu Yili will go to Zhang's Grand Secretary's Mansion to talk nonsense!
She is really afraid that Zhang Juzheng will not be able to afford to be ill!
Although the eldest son has grown up and got married, he has insufficient experience.
Especially after the incident of teasing and insulting the palace maids while drunk, she became even more worried about her eldest son.
With her super keen eye for identifying people, there is no one in the court who can take on the important task of the chief minister. Zhang Juzheng must be.
Seeing that Fu Dahai stopped talking, Empress Dowager Li asked, "Did King Lu just say this?"
"Yes, yes, empress." Fu Dahai was not very confident.
After all, he escaped like a rabbit, and I don’t know what happened next. According to the distance, it’s time to come back.
"Have he made a judgment on Mr. Zhang's condition?" Empress Dowager Li's question was tactful.
"No." Fu Dahai shook his head. Anyway, he didn't hear it.
However, as soon as the words fell, only the sound of footsteps sounded.
Then, Fu Dahai heard the sound of wanting to die.
"Okay, Fu Dahaiha, how dare you lie in front of your mother? Even you cheated on the Queen Mother, why didn't you?"
It was Zhu Yiliu.
He strides in, and after coming in, he shouts kindly and mischievously: "Mom, I'm back!"
Empress Dowager Li looked cold: "Why are you back now? You haven't been with Eunuch Fu?"
