They all witnessed the scene in Wuning Houfu just now, and they were all extremely frightened! They all shouted in their hearts, "The power of God is so unpredictable!" Some even wondered whether Liu Haojia had done something wrong, causing trouble.
The emperor's resentment! In short, there are all kinds of speculations!
Now they are sending people out just to get an analysis of this matter from relatives and friends, so that they can use it as a reference for making their own decisions. Unfortunately, most of them guessed wrong!
In the mansion of Duke Dingguo, Xu Wenbi, Duke of Dingguo, was drinking tea slowly and listening to the detailed description of the housekeeper. The housekeeper also hurried back from Wuninghou Mansion. The first thing he did was to tell what he saw and heard.
Tell Duke Ding.
After he finished speaking, he bowed and stopped talking. Duke Ding drank the entire cup of tea with great taste, then put down the tea cup and said to the Crown Prince Xu Xigao sitting beside him: "What do you think about this?"
look?"
Xu Xigao frowned and said, "Dad, do you think Wu Ninghou is too powerful and has been feared by the royal family?"
Duke Dingguo raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you think so?"
Xu Xigao spread his hands and said: "Isn't this obvious? With Wu Ninghou's status and merit, it is more than enough for his wife to be given a second-grade imperial title! But now Long live the Lord has not given the title as usual. This is not a tribute to Wu Ninghou.
A warning!"
Duke Dingguo raised his eyes and glanced at him, then turned to the housekeeper and said, "What do you think?"
The housekeeper raised his head and glanced at Xu Xigao, then lowered his head and said, "I don't know!"
Duke Dingguo didn't ask any further questions. He just sat there and squinted his eyes. He didn't know whether he was thinking or dozing off. After a while, he said: "I think Yunzhen's age is slightly younger than that of Wu Ninghou, but he's about the same. Let him be fine."
I’ll go and have some fun with Wu Ninghou.”
After hearing this, Xu Xigao said in confusion: "Father, why are you letting Yunzhen and Wu Ninghou get close to each other at this time? Isn't this causing the royal family's jealousy?"
Duke Dingguo stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back. When he reached the door, he turned around and said: "Do you think it is more important to be a marquis or a second-grade man?"
After speaking, Duke Ding stepped out of the door, leaving behind a confused Xu Xigao. The old housekeeper raised his legs to follow him, but looked at Xu Xigao's look and couldn't bear it, so he whispered: "Your Majesty, Gu Ningbo's Mansion
Now it’s called Gu Ning Houfu!”
After finishing speaking, the old housekeeper followed the old master and left the study in a hurry. But the old housekeeper's words made Xu Xigao even more confused!
As the heir of the Duke of Taiping, Xu Xigao is quite qualified! In other words, he is good at playing chess, calligraphy, painting, playing, playing and singing! He is better at walking on horseback and entering and exiting brothels! But this kind of thing is very important to him.
A bit too complicated!
Fortunately, he was an obedient and good son. After thinking about it for a long time, he said to himself: "Father actually said that Yun Zhen should get closer to Wu Ninghou, so let's go!"
Having made up his mind, Xu Xigao immediately felt comfortable and immediately asked someone to turn off the lights in the study and went back to the yard to rest.
But some people are not as sober as old and cunning people like Ding Guogong, so a large number of nobles spent a night racking their brains! And early the next morning, new rumors spread in the capital, then
It’s just that Wu Ninghou has fallen out of favor!
The rumors on the street couldn't be stopped as soon as they appeared, and many details were added inexplicably! If Liu Haojia heard these rumors with his own ears, he would probably open his mouth in surprise!
After these rumors spread, they quickly spread among the capital, giving ordinary people more to talk about! Especially when the subject of discussion was Wu Ninghou, who has been in the limelight recently, this made the people even more eager!
Because the civil servants got the news relatively late, what they are doing now is trying to find the truth among the rumors. After getting the truth, most of the civil servants are happy! Because in their view, Wu Ninghou is an unstable factor and will suffer.
Only by cleaning up can you relieve your hatred!
And what’s even more disgusting is that almost all of the unlucky things that happened to civil servants in recent years are related to Wu Ninghou! It can be said that Wu Ninghou, the newly promoted marquis, came to power by stepping on the backs of civil servants! So it’s normal for civil servants to have no good impression of him.
.
As a result, the rumors became even more bizarre after being processed by these people who were familiar with history books and proficient in writing! They had even been connected with many historical allusions! They tried to use this to prove that Wu Ninghou had not lived a good life for a few days.
!
When the news reached the cabinet, the reaction of the cabinet elders was extremely dull! Zhang Juzheng just said lightly: "I know!" Zhang Siwei said nothing, just nodded to show that he heard clearly, and then
He just went about his own business! As for the reactions of people like Shen Shixing and others, they were also very similar!
Just when the rumors reached their climax, Liu Haojia and his son entered the palace to express their gratitude and were warmly entertained by the emperor! Both of them left the palace with large rewards. The emperor's performance overturned all the illusions of the civil servants.
!
They couldn't figure out what Emperor Wanli meant by this move. Did he dislike Liu Haojia, or did he continue to support him? So when they couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, those who were eager to try and cause some trouble had to stop.
!
Especially when they discovered that none of the big shots in the cabinet had expressed their stance on this matter, they did not dare to act rashly! This quickly cooled down the rumors on the street.
Just when everyone thought that Liu Haojia would calm down for a while after this incident, an unexpected thing happened in the court! That is, Liu Runlin, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, wrote to Emperor Wanli, requesting that the Japanese pirates be eradicated! And he directly pointed them out.
The root of Japanese pirates lies in the Japanese country. This time the navy wants to attack the Japanese country!
This memorial caused an uproar in the court as soon as it came out! All the civil servants opposed it with one voice! Various opposition memorials floated like snow flakes to the General Affairs Department. There are various reasons in the memorial, and the biggest reason is that
At that time, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once designated the Japanese country as a country without conquest, so he could not go to war with the Japanese country!
During the check-in, Zhang Siwei irritably walked to Zhang Juzheng's desk with Liu Runlin's memorial. He put the memorial on the table, tapped the memorial with his fingers and said: "Chief Assistant, look at this Wu Ninghou again.
What's the fuss about? Can't he just be quiet for a few days? In the blink of an eye, he's attacking Japan again, really!"
Zhang Juzheng put down his pen, twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Fengpan, this memorial was not written by Wu Ninghou!"
