Chapter 469 It seems that the crux has been found
Chen Ju grabbed the memorial, and although it was not him who attacked the impeachment, for some reason, after talking to Feng Bao, he felt trembling all over.
What Feng Bao said just now kept circling in his mind, especially the words he guessed the mentality of Emperor Wanli. The more he thought about it, the more he felt creepy.
Thinking of this memorial, was it really written by Emperor Wanli secretly instructed the censor?
Even so, why did Feng Bao so boldly guess the intentions of Emperor Wanli, and even speak it out without reservation in front of him?
"No, no, there must be something wrong in the middle." Chen Ju thought to himself.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong, but he just felt that Feng Bao's behavior was weird.
The more I think about it, the more I feel strange.
I even thought that Feng Bao was happy about being impeached, and I wanted to retreat. But when I thought about it carefully, this seemed to be untenable.
If you want to retreat, you can retreat with glory. Why should you take the risk of being impeached?
He was so happy to be impeached... In Chen Ju's eyes, he felt that it was still unreasonable.
After all, Feng Bao is not Zhu Yiliu, and the two still have essential differences: Zhu Yiliu is also an imperial class and belongs to the royal family group.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ju thought while walking, and unknowingly arrived at the Xihunting Pavilion.
Because I was too focused, when I crossed the threshold of the Xihun Pavilion, I accidentally tripped and staggered, and almost fell to the ground.
Emperor Wanli discovered it and looked up and scolded, "Eunuch Chen, what are you thinking absent-mindedly?"
"Long live, I am thinking about the contents of this memorial." Chen Ju bowed and handed the memorial to Emperor Wanli, "Long live, please read it."
"Is it the one you picked out alone?"
"Yes, Long Sui, I think it is important, so I send it to discuss with Long Sui."
"Then you read it to me." Emperor Wanli handed the memorial to Chen Ju again.
Chen Ju coughed, cleared his throat, and then read it word by word.
After reading it, Emperor Wanli was silent for a long time.
Chen Ju didn't dare to disturb him either.
Suddenly, Emperor Wanli suddenly raised his eyes and ordered: "Send someone to send this memorial to the cabinet to prepare a ticket."
"Yes." Chen Ju hurriedly bowed and retreated.
But after a cup of tea, he came back and reported: "I have sent the memorial to the cabinet as per the instructions of the Lord Long live."
"Okay, I have a few questions to ask you."
"Long live the lord, please ask!"
"In your opinion, is the treasure of Mr. Zhang and Dalian's family true? " Emperor Wanli seemed to have only remembered the five words in this joint memorial, and seemed to be indifferent to the other contents.
"Long lively, I don't know anything, and I have never seen it before." Chen Ju shook his head and said.
"Guess based on your intuition." Emperor Wanli insisted on asking.
It seems that it is not okay to be stared at by Emperor Wanli without blinking and avoid answering.
Chen Ju replied carefully: "I secretly think that the treasure of the Heavenly Mansion should be a bit exaggerated."
"Oh, is that?" Emperor Wanli asked back.
Chen Ju replied meticulously: "Long live, I think some officials are trying to slander Mr. Zhang while he is dead."
"So, don't you believe that Mr. Zhang framed the Liao King and engulfed the property of the Liao King's Mansion?"
"Long live, I don't believe it."
"Why?"
"It is said that the heinous crimes committed by the King of Liao do not need to be framed by Mr. Zhang at all. Emperor Longqing was just ruthless. As for the devouring of the property of the King of Liao's Mansion, I thought it was even more nonsense. The King of Liao was demoted to a commoner and no longer established the Prince of Liao's Mansion. Whether it is the territory of the Prince of Liao's Mansion or the property of the Prince of Liao's Mansion, they must be confiscated. It is definitely not something that Mr. Zhang can swallow if he wants to."
Chen Ju didn't deliberately defend Zhang Juzheng, he just followed his own judgment.
However, Emperor Wanli pondered and said nothing, his emotions were a bit elusive.
Indeed, during the ten years when Zhang Juzheng was the most popular, Chen Ju was unknown and had no feelings for Zhang Juzheng at all. At this time, he defended Zhang Juzheng, and once again he could see his normal character.
Emperor Wanli did not speak, and his expression looked a bit solemn. Therefore, Chen Ju vaguely felt whether Feng Bao's words made some sense.
If Emperor Wanli secretly instructed Yang Keli to do the three censors, the political situation would develop in a dangerous and uncontrollable direction.
Chen Ju really wanted to give the courage to ask Emperor Wanli for an understanding, but he still couldn't muster up the courage.
Emperor Wanli didn't explain much.
...
This time, Feng Bao was not afraid of impeachment, but was complacent and thought it was a "good thing".
But he believed that Empress Dowager Li would not think so.
So after Chen Ju left for a while, Feng Bao went to Cining Palace. I have to tell Empress Dowager Li about this.
Empress Dowager Li was worshiping Guanyin, which was the golden statue that Emperor Wanli did not give to him because of the intention of the drunken emperor.
When Feng Bao informed the contents of the memorial, Empress Dowager Li said angrily: "Mr. Zhang has passed away, why are there still people who want to slander him?"
Feng Bao replied: "Empress, although Mr. Zhang has passed away, most of the officials who supported him before are still in important positions, and his reform policy has been insisted on by Mr. Shen. That is to say, Mr. Zhang still has a strong influence, and of course there will be people who will be jealous. After all, the more it will be cracked down on and weakened Mr. Zhang's prestige, the more some officials can look up. People like Hai Rui, Qiu Wei, Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, and Zou Yuanbiao, aren't it just because they seized this opportunity?"
"But this is obviously a false accusation!" Empress Dowager Li defended Zhang Juzheng angrily again.
"Empress, if you want to add a crime, why not worry? Whether it is false to accuse it doesn't matter. It's important to stir up one force after another against Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang is already in another world, and I am worried that sooner or later it will be swallowed up by this anti-force after another."
Empress Dowager Li sighed and murmured: "Eunuch Feng, what do you think I should do?"
At this moment, Feng Bao suddenly felt that Empress Dowager Li was no longer the reckless and decisive Empress Dowager Li.
If it were in the past, if someone slandered Zhang Juzheng like this, Empress Dowager Li would have to ask him what to do? How could he be like a woman without any opinion at this time? She would have jumped up and questioned her and asked her to take him away.
But now, it’s so difficult!
From these subtle changes, Feng Bao gradually understood why Empress Dowager Li was getting weaker and Emperor Wanli became stronger and stronger.
"This is probably why Empress Dowager Li is still alive, but let Mr. Zhang be settled!" Feng Bao thought to himself, and suddenly realized, as if he understood a question that he felt was incredible before.
Now it seems that it's easy to explain.
This once again deeply admired Zhu Yiliu's vision and prediction.
