Chapter 287 Empress Dowager Li has a heart, Emperor Wanli kicks the ball twice
Seeing Empress Dowager Li shook her head and looked disapproving, Emperor Wanli and Feng Bao were both stunned.
Feng Bao felt that Emperor Wanli said this just now was reasonable.
Emperor Wanli himself also felt that he had taken into account his identity and the censor and the younger brother of King Lu.
Is it not appropriate to do this in the mind of Empress Dowager Li?
Emperor Wanli and Feng Bao both looked at Empress Dowager Li with curiosity.
I heard Empress Dowager Li sigh slightly and said quietly: "Jun'er, my mother's original intention is not to ask you how you treat the impeachment of the censor, but to ask you how you view the censor's repeated impeachment of your brother."
Emperor Wanli thought for a while and replied, "Mom, the censors have always been fearless! I just talked about this with my younger brother not long ago. Anyone who the censors don't like will be impeached, including the child. This is impossible."
Empress Dowager Li still shook her head and smiled, but still felt that Emperor Wanli had not had a good understanding of her, so she simply said, "Jun'er, I actually want to ask, in your mind, should your brother's recent actions be impeached?"
Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment, and smacked his lips and said, "Is it supposed to?"
Empress Dowager Li nodded: "Yes, the reason why your brother was impeached by the censors is because he has intervened in many matters recently, which is inconsistent with his identity as King Lu. Putting aside the love between brothers, does Jun'er think that your brother should be impeached?"
Emperor Wanli felt very embarrassed, and suddenly had an idea, turned his eyes to Feng Bao, and asked, "Da Pei, do you think you should be impeached?"
"This..." Feng Bao was stunned, but he didn't expect Emperor Wanli to dismiss the ball and give it to him.
Seeing Feng Bao hesitating, Emperor Wanli said: "Before I was born, my partner held an important position in the palace and knew much more about the court's etiquette than me. Tell me, should the emperor's recent actions be impeached?"
Feng Baoshen said that the emperor was shocked. Empress Dowager Li asked Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli's brother turned around and asked him, then he would definitely not be able to kick him back, so he could only answer.
But how do he answer?
Whether you answer "should" or "should not", you will offend people.
But he thought of Zhu Yili's attitude, not only was he willing to be impeached by the censors, but he also had to instruct the censors to be afraid that they would not be impeached comprehensively enough...
So, standing from Zhu Yili's perspective, Feng Bao glanced at Empress Dowager Li, then looked at Emperor Wanli, and replied cautiously: "Yansui, I feel that Prince Lu's recent actions should be impeached."
Emperor Wanli remained silent and stared at Empress Dowager Li intently.
Empress Dowager Li nodded slightly and said very calmly: "Da Fan thinks it should be, so it must be. Jun'er agrees, right?"
Emperor Wanli avoided answering and just said, "Mom, it doesn't matter whether it should be! Isn't the ultimate dominance still in our hands? What can the censors impeach the emperor's brother?"
Empress Dowager Li said disapprovingly: "Jun'er, even though that's the case, you can't say that! Since you both think from the bottom of your heart that Yan'er is supposed to be impeached, then Jun'er and I will defend your brother again, will it cause criticism from the court officials?"
Emperor Wanli murmured with a little helplessness: "Mom, otherwise what can I do? Is it impossible to forcibly stop the censors from impeaching? But we can't make things difficult for the censors to impeach or even punish the emperor's brother!"
Empress Dowager Li frowned, and suddenly remembered the result of Zhu Yili being impeached last time. She lost her salary and all the rewards and supplies. However, such a punishment was proposed by Zhu Yili herself and forced Emperor Wanli to agree.
Just think of this.
Empress Dowager Li's eyelashes trembled, and she immediately raised her eyes and asked, "Jun'er, what would you do if you were your younger brother when you were impeachment from the censors?"
"..." Emperor Wanli was stunned again. He didn't expect Empress Dowager Li to ask this question, but he did not think about this question. He had to use the same trick again and turn his attention to Feng Bao again, "Big partner, what would you do if you were facing this situation?"
Feng Bao sighed in his heart, feeling that we shouldn’t follow the Queen Mother Li today! Emperor Wanli threw the problem over again. Isn’t this obviously a rhythm of eating big fish and eating shrimps?
The key point is that he still doesn't know what Zhu Yili wants to do. Moreover, Zhu Yili repeatedly reminded him not to reveal his ideas to anyone.
At this time, if Zhu Yiliu's idea of "demolishing himself to a commoner" was expressed to let Empress Li know...then this plan would definitely be ruined.
But the ball thrown by Emperor Wanli must be taken away!
Feng Bao had to bite the bullet and said, "Longsui, Empress, I think, Prince Lu was impeached. If he relied on the favor of Emperor Lu and Empress to fight against the censors who impeached him, it would be a difficult situation for Emperor Lu and Empress to make it difficult for you to do it. But judging from the situation when Prince Lu was impeached last time, Prince Lu would never do this. He would rather ask for punishment than make Prince Lu and Empress embarrassed. I guess, will Prince Lu take the same approach this time?"
Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but look tight, and Feng Bao actually thought the same as hers.
After hearing this, Emperor Wanli looked at Empress Dowager Li and asked, "Mom, I think what the eldest partner said makes sense. What do you think?"
Empress Dowager Li suddenly stood up and said hurriedly: "Jun'er, I'm going to go back to Cining Palace and ask your brother."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Emperor Wanli to speak.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Li was so nervous, Feng Bao felt a little nervous. Although he didn't say it just now, he was actually guiding the way Zhu Yiliu took. With Empress Dowager Li's intelligence and understanding, would he guess it?
...
When Empress Dowager Li was gone, Emperor Wanli felt relaxed and his voice became louder: "Big partner, it seems that your mother believes your guess, so you might as well guess again, what kind of punishment will the emperor ask for this time?"
Feng Bao was still thinking about Empress Dowager Li’s affairs, would he destroy Zhu Yili’s plan because of what he said just now...
So, after Feng Bao was in a daze, he replied: "Long live, Prince Lu's actions are often unexpected, and this servant really can't guess."
Emperor Wanli didn't care much and sweared: "If you can't guess it, forget it. Anyway, I will not agree to any self-punishment method proposed by the emperor this time."
Feng Bao did not dare to speak out, not knowing whether to agree or persuade Emperor Wanli. If you agree with Emperor Wanli, you may be "sorry" Zhu Yili; if you persuade Emperor Wanli, it seems too unkind.
Seeing that Feng Bao was silent, Emperor Wanli said again: "Big companion, why don't you go to Cining Palace too to see what your mother and the emperor's brother are talking about, and then come back to report to me immediately."
"Okay, long live the Lord!"
Feng Bao immediately turned around, and he was eager to go to Cining Palace to see what was going on.
