The main hall of Yikun Palace.

Empress Dowager Li said quietly: "What I don't want to see the least has happened. Since it has happened without any avoidance, it is necessary for our family to sit together and have a good talk, and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome."

"My mom, let's talk about the topic."

Emperor Wanli urged impatiently.

He had just said that he would never sit with Zhu Yiliu, but now he was pressed down by two close servants from Yikun Palace, which made him angry and could not listen to the extra words.

"Jun'er, when I learned that your brother had the intention to replace him, my mother was very worried." Empress Dowager Li was still calm and said as if she was a family man: "I learned that Mr. Zhang was still alive, so I rushed to Jiangling City as soon as possible and asked him about his ideas."

Emperor Wanli was already very upset, and when Empress Dowager Li mentioned Zhang Juzheng again, she was even more angry.

"Mom, Zhang Juzheng is a serious crime. Now he is committing the crime of deceiving the king. He plays with the child, the mother, and the people of the world in the applause. He asks him what he wants to do? Didn't he deliberately slap the child in the face? The child doesn't want to hear anything, but just asks her to make a decision quickly."

Empress Dowager Li had no choice but to shook her head and sighed, and finally said vigorously: "Since Jun'er is unintentional to listen, she only wants to be happy and happy, then I will tell you, mom supports your brother."

"..." Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment. His expression was extremely complicated and he could not describe it.

The air also stagnated.

It is so quiet that the needle can be heard.

Emperor Wanli was trembling all over, but he was suppressed and unable to move. He was angry and hated. He stared at Empress Dowager Li and said almost word by word:

"The child has been obedient to his mother since he was a child, and never dared to ask her to understand the pain in her heart. This is the first time that she feels hate her mother."

Empress Dowager Li burst into tears.

But she said nothing, and her heart hurt even more at this moment than Emperor Wanli.

Empress Dowager Chen also burst into tears.

She knew that this moment was coming eventually and could not escape the current situation.

Queen Wang also cried.

When Empress Dowager Li said this, she knew it was irreversible.

But she still didn't want to give up. She immediately stood up and knelt down again, begging: "I beg my mother to take back what she said just now, don't depose the emperor..."

"The queen is up."

Before Empress Dowager Li could speak, Emperor Wanli retorted in an orderly tone.

"emperor……"

"The queen doesn't say anything. Haven't you understood it yet?" Emperor Wanli shouted angrily, regardless of whether he should say it or not. "My mother only has Zhang Juzheng in her heart. Now that Zhang Juzheng has been searched by me, everything he has deprived him of, and it has long been incompatible with Zhang Juzheng. And Zhang Juzheng and his brother rebels are colluding with each other. How can I support me?"

If you have to put this in your daily life, no one dares to say this in front of Empress Dowager Li, even Emperor Wanli.

Empress Dowager Li was angry when she heard the order. But today she was very different, she didn't say anything.

When the life and death issues of her two sons are placed in front of her, she will not take them seriously, not to mention Zhang Juzheng, even Emperor Longqing's rebirth.

In a woman's life, children are greater than heaven.

"Mom, do you really have no room for maneuver?"

Queen Wang burst into tears, and despite Emperor Wanli's drink, she still begged.

"Empress, not to mention the ability, in the current situation, I have only this choice." Empress Dowager Li said earnestly, "What if my mother supports Jun'er and let Liu'er do? And how to deal with Mr. Zhang? To be honest, Mr. Zhang is ready to use troops. Not to mention the queen, he also knows how many military generals are loyal to Mr. Zhang? Just Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos. Does the queen understand?"

"..." Queen Wang didn't say anything, of course she knew it.

Empress Dowager Li then said with a heartache: "Jun'er settled Mr. Zhang and took down all the ministers that Mr. Zhang relied on during his lifetime, but it was only in the capital. There were more than so many civil and military officials loyal to Mr. Zhang. If Mr. Zhang failed and led by Mr. Zhang, those people would not cause trouble? Will there be chaos in the world at that time?"

"But are there no civil and military officials in the world who are loyal to the emperor?" Queen Wang asked, "Would you be afraid that they will cause trouble if you make a decision like this? You must know that someone is planning to usurp the throne and rebel."

"I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid? But since I made the decision, I have already considered it repeatedly. If someone really causes trouble, which side will be more harmful. The queen might as well ask herself, would you support Jun'er or Liu'er if you stand in my position?"

Queen Wang stopped talking again.

Empress Dowager Li continued: "In terms of personal affairs, both are sons, and I am not partial to each other; but in terms of public affairs, let alone Liu'er's vision and ability, Liu'er has the support of the former chief assistant Mr. Zhang and the Danei general manager Eunuch Feng, and the current chief assistant Mr. Shen and the Danei general manager Eunuch Zhang, how can I continue to support Jun'er? Besides, Jun'er overthrows and denies Mr. Zhang'er's reforms will take a completely restored path. At that time, our Ming Dynasty is in turmoil and storm, and our Ming people are in dire straits. How can I explain to my ancestors and the subjects of the world!"

Queen Wang also wanted to continue to plead for defense.

However, he heard Emperor Wanli scolding: "I understand the queen's heart. My mother has decided, so why should the queen be swearing?"

"But what should the emperor do?"

"I said that at most, I can't die." Emperor Wanli said fiercely with gritted teeth.

"Can Jun'er calm down? Let me tell you something about it? Even if my mother begs you."

Empress Dowager Li looked at Emperor Wanli in a begging tone, and she was already in tears.

Emperor Wanli shook his head and said angrily: "The child doesn't want to listen anymore, the child just wants to die."

"A real man wants to die at any time. What is this?" Empress Dowager Li regretted that she was not strong enough, but she tried her best to press her voice to a moderate range. At this time, she felt deeply excited by her eldest son, Emperor Wanli, so she had to control her and not stir up with each other no matter what.

"When did the child make his own decisions since he was a child? Can't he make his own decisions even if he wants to live or die?"

"Why don't you consider the feelings of the person you love and the person you love? It's not that my mother didn't let you make a decision. My mother has returned the power to you, but what about you? If Jun'er and the queen are young, so they allow mistakes to give excuses to grow up, what about your younger brother? He is five years younger than Jun'er, why is he better than you? Why doesn't Jun'er reflect on himself and always blame others?"

"Mom, I don't need to say anything, and the child doesn't want to hear it. Mom is right, okay? I just want her to let them give her a happy life."

"Jun'er, why are you doing this?" Empress Dowager Chen interrupted in tears.

"The mother's heart is the same as that of mother's heart, it's better not to say it." Emperor Wanli said angrily.

At this moment, except for Queen Wang, he felt that no one liked him. Little did he know that before that, the one he disliked the most among these people was Queen Wang, so Queen Wang was repeatedly neglected.
