If you say that Emperor Wanli was actually not young at the beginning, it was a matter of marriage.

However, Emperor Wanli had not yet taken power, and there were three mountains pressing over his head.

So Feng Bao dared to secretly report to Empress Dowager Li.

The Empress Dowager Li dared to go straight to the Qing Palace to capture Emperor Wanli.

The mountain Zhang Juzheng directly drafted the "Sinful Edict" on behalf of Emperor Wanli and reported it to the world.

It can be said that none of these three mountains took Emperor Wanli seriously at the beginning, but they only acted on the principles they insisted on.

As a result, Emperor Wanli has been resentful and jealous.

Needless to say, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao.

He also complained about Empress Dowager Li. Since then, Emperor Wanli has believed that Empress Dowager Li prefers Zhu Yili and has always left a knot in his heart.

But now the three mountains have been flattened one by one, who else dares to treat Emperor Wanli like that? Even if he made a big mistake, no one dares to stand up.

From the perspective of Empress Dowager Li, in addition to being willing but not being able to do so, she also has to consider maintaining her son's authority and not to compromise her son.

Therefore, when Empress Dowager Li said "wrong", she felt that it was far from what this word could describe.

In a word, Emperor Wanli is no longer the same as before, and nothing can be done.

Of course, Zhao Lingsu understood what Empress Dowager Li said about Emperor Wanli’s mistake, but he didn’t understand why Empress Dowager Li stopped talking halfway, so he blinked and shouted:

"Empress."

Empress Dowager Li said earnestly: "Su Su, I, as a mother, naturally knows that Liu'er is better than Jun'er in many aspects, so we can't destroy Jun'er because of this. In the past, Jun'er had not yet taken power, so we can scare him and say he was ruined, but who dares now?"

"But the situation has developed to such a situation, the Empress must face the choice."

"..." Empress Dowager Li just shook her head, said nothing, and looked embarrassed and entangled.

You should know that having a legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate leg

Zhu Yijun was his brother and Zhu Yijiu was his younger brother, so Zhu Yijun was originally appointed as the crown prince, but later naturally ascended the throne to the emperor - this is the rule.

It cannot be said that because Zhu Yijun is not as good as Zhu Yiliu, he chose to support him as emperor.

In inheriting the throne, we must follow the rules, and those who are not capable must be resident.

If Zhu Yili wanted to replace him at this time, there was no doubt that he would be rebellion - a death sentence.

Not to mention that Empress Dowager Li can't control Emperor Wanli at all now. Even if she is as strong as she did when she was in power, she could not do so!

Sometimes she really wants to ignore it and let it go.

I really can't think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds.

But as Zhao Lingsu said, Empress Dowager Li herself knew that this was an unavoidable reality and it was something that she had to face after all.

Seeing Empress Li pondering, Zhao Lingsu said carefully: "Does the Empress feel it is necessary to meet Mr. Zhang?"

"See Mr. Zhang?" Empress Dowager Li murmured, but seemed to be talking to herself. Zhang Juzheng's majestic image immediately emerged in her mind.

She immediately calmed down and asked, "How can Mr. Zhang meet someone else in Jiangling?"

"As long as the Empress wants to see her, there will naturally be a way."

"What can I do when I see Mr. Zhang?"

"Maybe he can tell the Empress how to do it?"

Empress Dowager Li smiled faintly and said slowly disapprovingly: "Although Mr. Zhang has courage and skills, it's not that I praise Li Yaner. Mr. Zhang may not be better than Li Yaner. Li Yaner can't tell me what to do, so what can Mr. Zhang? At most, what Pixus said makes me support Li Yaner."

"Hey—" Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Li sighed deeply and said with great emotion, "In the past, I always wanted to have more sons, but now I want to have only one son, so that I won't have so much trouble."

Seeing Empress Dowager Li looking heartbroken, Zhao Lingsu suddenly felt that she shouldn't have told Empress Dowager Li this, as if she could only add to her troubles.

Just think of this.

Zhao Lingsu asked with some regret: "Will the Empress feel even more confused when she learns the truth?"

"Hey——" Empress Dowager Li sighed again.

"Damn it!"

"It's not your business." Empress Dowager Li comforted, "I know you went thousands of miles to sneak into Beijing, one for Liu'er, and the other for me. Judging from the current situation, if you don't tell me, I will know the truth sooner or later. But what I never expected was that Mr. Zhang actually chose to pretend to die... and conspired with Liu'er to play such a play."

"Empress..." Zhao Lingsu said to her lips and swallowed it back alive.

She originally wanted to say that Emperor Wanli was so jealous of Zhang Juzheng. If it had not been seen by Zhu Yili, then Zhang Juzheng would not have chosen to pretend to die.

If Zhang Juzheng had not been liquidated and Zhang Juzheng's reform proposal was not overturned, Zhu Yiliu would not have the idea of ​​"replace it".

So, after all, weren’t it all “made” by Emperor Wanli himself?

However, Zhao Lingsu just thought about this and did not dare to say it in front of Empress Dowager Li.

Why is Empress Dowager Li so entangled? Isn’t it because she values ​​her two sons as much?

After talking for a long time, she did not make any statement on which son she should stand on.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Li did not ask questions, but asked: "What's the situation in Jiangling City?"

"Where is the Empress?"

"Does the officials over there know that Mr. Zhang is still alive in the world? Are they all looking for Mr. Zhang?"

"I don't know this servant." Zhao Lingsu shook her head and replied. She really didn't know.

The reason why Empress Li asked this was because she thought that if Zhu Yiliu and Zhang Juzheng really wanted to rebel and replace them, there must be a base for them to use, and Jiangling City was the greatest possibility.

Is there any big news?

However, Zhao Lingsu was blind and although he recovered later, it was a recent incident and had never been to Zhang's Grand Secretary's Mansion.

So she really didn't know what was going on in Jiangling City. She only knew that the people in Jiangling City, including the officials in the yamen, respected and grateful to Zhu Yili, and treated Zhu Yili as a god.

"You have been with Lie for a long time, and I think Lie has some hope to replace it?"

Empress Dowager Li asked again.

Zhao Lingsu replied in this way: "Brother seems to have said that it is five or five to each other."

“Five?”

"Well, I think it's high or low?"

"In Liu'er's situation, despite Mr. Zhang's secret help, the five-five pairs are also very high."

Zhao Lingsu nodded. She wanted to say that the five-five pairs might be Zhu Yili's conservative estimate.

But after thinking about it, I would rather let it go. Queen Dowager Li was probably even more anxious when she said it.

As he was speaking, he heard an eunuch outside say, "Empress, long live the eunuch, I have an order."

Empress Dowager Li and Zhao Lingsu couldn't help but be stunned.
