Chapter 412
Empress Dowager Li hesitated because she knew that Emperor Wanli was reluctant to part with Zhang Jing, and this time she sacrificed herself to excuse Emperor Wanli.
If Zhang Jing was expelled to Nanjing, then Emperor Wanli would feel guilty.
But if you don’t do this, wouldn’t it be that there is no silver here, and you deliberately give the court officials the opportunity to suspect Zhang Jing to take responsibility?
She also knew that the main responsibility for buying Myanmar bells was her son, just like the two eunuchs encouraged their son to drink and play and humiliate the palace maids two years ago, of course, the main responsibility was her son.
But there is only one son, and he is the emperor, so he can only be ruthless to the eunuchs around him while educating his son.
Being with the king is like a tiger. I blame Zhang Jing for why he didn’t stop enlightening his son?
Even if my son wants to buy Myanmar Ling Xingyou, as a celebrity around him, he cannot just indulge him, but should give him a lot of advice and advice!
As soon as he thought of this, Empress Dowager Li made up her mind and raised her hand and ordered: "Eunuch Feng, let's drive Zhang Jing to the Nanjing Imperial Mausoleum to grow vegetables."
"I understand." This time, Feng Bao did not say bad things about Zhang Jing, but reported it in a realistic manner.
He was actually very confused. He was determined to expel Zhang Jing to Nanjing, but Zhang Jing regarded himself as Zhu Yili's apprentice and said that his relationship with Zhu Yili was no less intimate than his relationship with Zhu Yili... In addition, Zhang Jing asked him to analyze it again, and he felt that Zhang Jing did not seem to be a threat to his status. Is it more appropriate to put Zhang Jing next to Emperor Wanli?
Since Zhang Jing found him, he has been waiting for Zhu Yili's letter these two days.
It was just because Zhang Jing mentioned this, and wanted to see how Zhu Yiliu explained it.
But who knew that things had evolved to this point: Mazi's house in Gao Er was burned down, causing a lot of things to be involved, and Emperor Wanli was also involved.
Zhang Jing performed another drama of sacrificing himself and savior... If you want Zhang Jing to stay with Emperor Wanli, the chance is very slim, after all, you have to calm the wrath of the court officials.
Feng Bao could only secretly contempt for Zhang Jing. It would be difficult for the enemy to become friends!
Then Empress Dowager Li ordered: "Eunuch Feng, Eunuch Fu, you two go and pass the order together!"
Feng Bao and Fu Dahai left in response.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw the eunuch on duty raising a letter in his hand and replied: "Empress, a letter from Jiangling City was written by Prince Lu."
When Feng Bao heard about "Prince Lu", he took back his steps that were about to take the threshold.
When I heard that it was written by my youngest son Zhu Yili, Empress Dowager Li was also very excited and quickly opened the letter to read it.
As soon as he glanced at it, he immediately called out, "Eunuch Feng, you can wait a moment."
Feng Bao had already been determined to slow down and had not yet walked out of Qixiang Palace.
"Empress." Feng Bao immediately turned around.
"Let's go, let's go back to Cining Palace first before making a decision." Empress Dowager Li's expression was a bit solemn.
I arrived at Cining Palace soon.
"Empress, is it the letter from Prince Lu?" Feng Bao asked with great sincerity but couldn't wait.
"Yes." Empress Dowager Li nodded.
"What did Prince Lu say in his letter? What was the Empress's expression?" Feng Bao asked carefully.
"Liang'er said that the war in Liaodong has begun, and sent Qi Jiguang to aid Li Chengliang, and needed a heavyweight military supervisor. He was afraid that the two generals would not cooperate, so he suggested that Zhang Jing go. This letter from Liang was sent by the governor of Huguang eight hundred miles in a hurry. It seems that the matter is urgent."
Feng Bao secretly admired him.
Fu Dahai asked in confusion: "I think it is necessary to supervise the army, but why did Prince Lu suggest Zhang Jing go?"
Empress Dowager Li said: "Eunuch Feng is in charge of the ritual supervisors and the East Factory, so he naturally cannot leave Beijing for a long time; Zhang Hong is in charge of the internal affairs supervisors and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. So who else can take on this job except Zhang Jing?"
Feng Bao knew the real reason for this incident.
If it were placed two days ago, he would probably retort: Without Zhang Jing, wouldn't he be able to find a suitable supervisor? Zhang Jing's weight level is naturally enough, but if Zhu Yiliu wrote to let Chen Ju go, I believe Empress Dowager Li would not object.
Fu Dahai didn't say anything. He wanted to talk about the weight level. It turned out that there were four giants in Dalai, but now that Zhang Cheng died, there were only three left. It was true that other big stars could not be found to match him.
"Things are really coincidental," Feng Bao said, "But if this is the case, how can we face criticism from the court officials?"
"Liang'er had long expected that there would be war in Liaodong. Since he chose Zhang Jing, there must be his reasons, so let Zhang Jing make meritorious. When the war in Liaodong begins, the overall situation should be the priority. I believe that the court officials who impeached Zhang Jing should be able to understand. If Zhang Jing cannot complete the task this time, he will punish both crimes." Empress Dowager Li immediately made a decision.
"Empress wise!" Feng Bao praised.
"Empress, will this make the court officials feel that they are biased against Zhang Jing?" Fu Dahai asked.
"Is there any? I think this is inspiring Zhang Jing." Empress Dowager Li said disapprovingly, "At this moment, people are often inspired by the greatest power. Just do what I said, and you two will immediately pass the order."
Feng Bao and Fu Dahai went there.
...
This time, he accused Emperor Wanli of the Emperor and impeached Zhang Jing still in the Huangji Palace.
Feng Bao arrived there and directly conveyed the imperial edict of Empress Dowager Li: "The empress had an order to expel Zhang Jing from the Da Nei, to exempt him from his eunuch Bingbi, and sent him to Nanjing. However, in view of the rise of war in Liaodong, Jizhen General Qi Jiguang went to assist Li Chengliang, and needed a heavyweight supervisor. After thinking about it, the empress thought that only Zhang Jing was the most suitable. So I will write down Zhang Jing's crimes for the time being, hoping that he would make meritorious service. If he won the Liaodong victory, it would not be too late to make another decision; if the goal was not achieved, he would "punish both crimes". I wonder if you have any good suggestions?"
Courtier, look at me, I look at you, and I don’t know what to say.
Let’s not talk about whether it is the most suitable thing to send Zhang Jing, but the Liaodong incident is indeed much more important than the Myanmar Ling incident.
After all, one is a national event and the other is a personal matter. If it weren't for Emperor Wanli, no one would have deliberately pulled out the Burmese bell.
Just as the handling of this matter, Empress Dowager Li did not favor Zhang Jing. If he succeeded, he would commit another sentence. If he failed, he would punish both crimes together. How could there be any favoritism?
Seeing that the court officials were silent, Feng Bao asked Emperor Wanli to instruct, "Since you have no objection, please let me issue an order."
Zhang Jing was there at this time, and he didn't know that Zhu Yiliu wrote a letter to Empress Dowager Li. He just wanted to go to Liaodong to serve as a military supervisor, which was many times better than sending him to the Nanjing Imperial Mausoleum to grow vegetables.
The only thing that the court officials felt a little confused was that Zhang Juzheng had abolished the eunuchs and military supervisors before, because Zhang Juzheng had presided over the Ministry of War when he was a cabinet minister and knew that the eunuchs and military supervisors were extremely unreasonable.
The eunuchs did not understand military affairs and asked them to go to the front line to supervise the military and make mistakes, which was not conducive to combat. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng canceled it, which greatly improved the status of the general officer.
But why did Empress Dowager Li suddenly send a military supervisor again?
Thinking about it again, oh, probably because the two generals Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang were in Liaodong. If there were no military supervisors, there would be trouble.
Thinking of this, they felt that Empress Dowager Li's decision was also safe.
Since the court officials had no objection, Emperor Wanli issued an order according to Empress Dowager Li.
Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Wanli also breathed a sigh of relief, and he was of course happy with such arrangements.
Thinking that with Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang joining forces, as long as the court does not delay military pay and gives appropriate rewards, Liaodong will definitely win a great victory, and then it will be much easier to send Zhang Jing to the point.
Moreover, with the help of Liaodong war as a buffer, the attention of the officials and the people will also be diverted, and they will not stare at Zhang Jing's purchase of Myanmar bells.
