Zhu Yiliu must not believe the crooked saying that "the two dragons do not meet each other".

Although he tried hard to explain, Empress Dowager Li was still a little resentful.

Of course, this is not difficult to understand.

Emperor Wanli and Empress Wang have been married for more than four years and have no children yet. They finally waited until Wang Shurong, who is now pregnant with Concubine Wang, and Zhu Yili also concluded that he was a boy. Of course, Empress Dowager Li needs to ensure that everything is foolproof.

...

Regarding whether to be promoted to Yongnian Bo Wang Wei, Emperor Wanli, based on Empress Dowager Li's imperial edict, gave orders to all the yamen in the capital.

In fact, from the perspective of Empress Dowager Li, especially from Zhu Yiliu's perspective, it means that Empress Dowager Li has already accused of being promoted to Wang Wei, Yongnian.

Empress Dowager Li means: Wang Shurong will be promoted if she gives birth to a boy, otherwise she will make a decision.

In Wang Shurong's belly, Zhu Yili must be a boy. He already knows the boy's name, and he is called Zhu Changluo.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Li had actually agreed to be promoted, but she had changed her approach, as if she was willing to avoid the comparison between Zhang Juzheng and the two father-in-law.

However, in the eyes of the ministers in the court, it is not the case.

The first thing that came to their mind was that there was obviously a difference in the promotion of the old father-in-law Li Wei and the new father-in-law Wang Wei!

One was promoted unconditionally, while the other wanted to place his hopes on Concubine Wang Gong's belly was a man or a woman... If the princess was born as a woman, it seemed that she could not be promoted immediately.

They were not sure that Concubine Wang had to be a boy in her belly.

This means that Wang Wei has only half the hope of promotion.

Wang Wei himself really felt that it didn't matter whether he was promoted or not. Instead, he felt that this was the extra kindness of Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli to him.

However, some ministers in the court, especially those who wrote memorials for Wang Wei to petition for promotion, believed that Empress Dowager Li was partial.

But no one dares to say it.

But the purpose of testing Empress Dowager Li's attitude towards Zhang Juzheng seems to have achieved: if it is said that the promotion to Li Wei can be regarded as "opposing" Zhang Juzheng; then there is really nothing to see about whether to promote Wang Wei...

In this way, it is naturally impossible to see the change in Empress Dowager Li's attitude towards Zhang Juzheng. We cannot use the promise to be promoted to Marquis of Wuqing as the basis for judging the change in Empress Dowager Li's attitude towards Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, people can only barely understand this: the fact that they did not agree to be promoted to Wuqing Marquis was just because of Zhang Juzheng's face. As soon as Zhang Juzheng left the capital, he naturally did it.

As for why Wang Wei's promotion was entirely entrusted to an unborn child, it may only mean that Empress Dowager Li was eager to ask for his grandson.

However, after reaching such a conclusion, some officials were very unwilling to accept it.

After all, those officials felt uneasy after not understanding the attitude of Queen Mother Li towards Zhang Juzheng.

...

Feng Bao came out of Qianqing Palace and wanted to go to Silijian. When he walked to the brick road to the west, he suddenly heard a familiar voice talking.

He walked over gently and saw Sun Dalong, the eunuch of the imperial kitchen, who was standing next to the brick road with an official wearing a sixth-grade egret belt and chatting with a low voice.

Feng Bao looked calm and scolded Sun Dalong with anger: "Look at you, you are becoming more and more unruly. If you don't do your business well in broad daylight, you will come here to talk nonsense."

On the one hand, Sun Dalong was afraid of Feng Bao, but on the other hand, he felt wronged. He quickly explained: "Old ancestor, Concubine Gong has a bad appetite these days. Yesterday, he thought about eating fermented rice glutinous rice. The younger one made a bowl and gave it to her. She tasted it and put down the chopsticks and refused to eat it. She said it was not the same taste, and she wanted to make it again."

Speaking of Concubine Wang Gong, Feng Bao suddenly became energetic. He was interested and had a little more attention, so he pricked up his ears and listened quietly.

Sun Dalong continued: "The Empress Gong said it was not that smell. The young man dared not ask too much. What does the fermented glutinous rice balls taste like ants on a hot pan? I was so anxious that I was wandering around the ants on a hot pan. Suddenly someone reminded me that the Empress Gong was from Suzhou and asked us to find Suzhou people to ask about the recipe for Suzhou glutinous rice balls. When I thought about it, this was a good idea. But the young man was born in the north and has been circling around the stove every day since he entered the palace. Where did he recognize Suzhou people? Fortunately, I met the eunuch Zhang Jing in the morning. He told the young man that the Lord Liu from Liukelang is from Suzhou, so the young man came to him."

Feng Bao nodded, thinking that Concubine Wang Gong was about to give birth, and Empress Dowager Li's center of gravity was shifting at this time, so of course she would take great care of her.

Therefore, Feng Bao believed that what Sun Dalong said was the truth. He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Oh, it turns out that you are here to become a disciple. After asking for advice, you should go back and make a bowl for Concubine Gong. If it matches her appetite, our prison will give you a lot of rewards."

"I'm obeying the order, thank you for your ancestors!" Sun Dalong ran away.

The eunuchs in the 24th Supervision Bureau of the Inner Court are generally called Feng Bao "Eunuch Feng", and some call him "Eunuch Feng" or "Old Ancestor".

Looking at Sun Dalong's departure back, Feng Bao smiled secretly, then glanced at the official of the Sixth Corridor who had not left.

"Are you from Liuke Gang?" Feng Bao asked.

"Well, I work in the Like Department."

"Are you from Suzhou?"

"Yes."

"Have there any special movements in the Sixth Casino recently?" Feng Bao seemed to be completely careless.

"To be honest with Eunuch Feng, you said that there was no big news, but everyone wanted to impeach Prince Lu." The official surnamed Liu replied.

"What are you impeaching Prince Lu again?" Feng Bao asked in surprise.

"There are too many things, and I can't say it for a while. Prince Lu has done a few things that can attract everyone's attention recently, and the limelight is too high."

Feng Bao said "Oh" twice, feeling that the censors in Liukejiao were just not afraid of trouble, and he did not hide the impeachment of Zhu Yiliu... How confident is this! He has not received the memorial, and he has already released the words.

For Feng Bao, it was one, oh, no, it was two unexpected gains. Unexpectedly, he encountered two people chatting here, inside and outside, and the people he was interested in.

Feng Bao seemed to notice something...

In this way, he was about to return to Silijian and suddenly changed his mind and cut his hands back towards Cining Palace.

Two things: Concubine Gong gave birth to a son, and the other impeachment of Zhu Yiliu... Feng Bao wanted to communicate with Zhu Yiliu in a heart-to-heart manner.

Unfortunately, every time I had this idea, I did take action, but it was far from what Feng Bao wanted.

This time, despite coming, Feng Bao still had no confidence when facing Zhu Yiliu.

Moreover, Zhu Yili didn't say a word about Wang Shurong's childbirth, and he really felt that it was useless to say more;

As for the second thing that impeached him, Zhu Yiliu was not arrogant or impatient after hearing this, but laughed at him, as if he had finally waited for this day...

No matter how many years Feng Bao has been in the officialdom, his reaction to Zhu Yiliu is also a black line.

You know, it was a trembling thing that was impeached by a censor during the Ming Dynasty!
