Liu Hao's family was secretly happy when they heard Emperor Wanli's words, but they still frowned and said: "Your Majesty, let's do this, let the common people think of a solution. Maybe next time you take a rest, your Majesty will come back and find a solution!"
After hearing this, Zhang Jia immediately took off a waist badge from his waist and handed it to Liu Haojia and said: "If there is a way, you can just take the waist badge to the palace gate and ask the guards to notify me!"
Liu Haojia took the waist badge and put it away. At this time, Emperor Wanli was preoccupied and had no intention of talking to him. He simply said goodbye and left. After seeing off Emperor Wanli, Liu Haojia touched the waist badge in his arms and said,
He said to himself: "Little flag! It's a bit small, and Lao Zhu's family is stingy! But it's still a good start!"
Emperor Wanli took Zhang Jia back to the palace and went straight to Queen Mother Li's palace. He didn't even wait for the eunuch at the palace gate to inform him, and rushed in directly.
When he entered the palace, he saw Queen Mother Li talking to several palace maids. They were talking and laughing very happily! When the palace ladies saw Emperor Wanli coming, they hurriedly stood up and saluted. Queen Mother Li also sat up straight and said, "Long live my Lord today!"
Why do you have so much time? You are so impatient at such an old age that you can’t even wait for the announcement?”
Emperor Wanli waved the maids to stand up and said directly: "Mother, do you know how Emperor Wuzong died?"
After hearing this, Queen Mother Li's expression suddenly changed and she shouted loudly: "Shut up!"
Then she said to a palace maid next to her: "Zi Luo, take them all down. Ai Jia and Long Live Lord have a few words!"
This Zi Luo was Empress Dowager Li's personal maid, and she won the trust of Empress Dowager Li. Seeing Empress Dowager Li's appearance, she hurriedly left with several maids, leaving Empress Dowager Li mother and son alone in the room. At this time, Empress Dowager Li's face
He said solemnly: "Long live Lord, what did someone say to you today? But what about Liu Haojia?"
Emperor Wanli felt awkward when he heard what Empress Dowager Li said! Because he knew that his actions were controlled by others again! In the past, he would not have cared about this matter, and even felt that it was the result of being taken seriously.
But today, his feeling was different. This was clearly the result of being firmly controlled by someone!
However, he still suppressed this feeling and simply recounted what happened in Gu Ningbo's mansion today. After listening to Emperor Wanli's description, Queen Mother Li remained silent, but folded her hands on her legs.
His nails were tapping on his legs, his eyes were lowered, and his breathing was almost inaudible!
Emperor Wanli was also frightened by Empress Dowager Li's appearance! Because he had never seen a similar situation happen to Empress Dowager Li. It can be seen that today's matter was a bit big! And just when he mustered up the courage to speak, Empress Dowager Li's
The personal palace maid Zi Luo has already walked back quickly from outside.
Emperor Wanli saw that her face was pale, her figure was a little shrunken, and she didn't understand. But Queen Mother Li was already very familiar with the people around her. She heard the footsteps and judged that Zi Luo was back. She still lowered her eyes and whispered.
Said: "How are people dealt with?"
Zi Luo lowered her head and said, "Go back to my wife, we were all killed! She was gagged and beaten to death, and she didn't speak a word!"
After hearing this, Emperor Wanli immediately knew that it was because of his words that the four palace maids were killed! Although he felt uncomfortable, he didn't feel anything special. It was as if a favorite ornament was broken into pieces.
That's all! But it also made him realize clearly how destructive his question just now was and how many problems it contained!
At this time, Empress Dowager Li raised her hand and pushed, and the sapphire blue fine porcelain vase on the table was pushed to the ground, and smashed into pieces with a "bang"! When Emperor Wanli came in, Empress Dowager Li and the others were watching.
This vase!
After the vase fell to the ground, Empress Dowager Li said slowly: "Spread the news and say that these people broke the vase of the Ai family, so the Ai family killed them in a rage! But just in time, Long Live Lord came to give them.
The Ai family paid their respects and even tried to dissuade them a few times! But in their rage, the Ai family did not listen to Banzai's words and ordered them to be beaten to death!"
Zi Luo bowed her head in agreement and turned around to leave. Queen Mother Li then turned around and said, "Long live my Lord, do you think it's worth it to have four palace people die because of your words?"
Emperor Wanli said categorically: "Of course it's worth it, I'm just a palace servant!"
Queen Mother Li frowned when she heard this, but didn't say anything. Anyway, she whispered: "Long live my Lord, please tell me what happened today again without missing a word!"
Emperor Wanli had no choice but to tell what happened today in detail. Finally, he said: "Mother, is the death of Emperor Wuzong really what Liu Haojia said?"
Empress Dowager Li let out a long sigh and said: "Aijia originally planned to tell you these things slowly in the future, but unexpectedly, this little monkey said it without restraint! But Aijia can tell Lord Long Live that these things he said are pure speculation.
, there is no evidence at all!”
When Emperor Wanli heard this, he felt a little more relaxed. He shook his sleeves and said, "Doesn't that mean that there is no way to prove whether what Liu Haojia said is right or wrong, right? That means that he may also alienate me and the courtiers!"
"
Empress Dowager Li said slowly: "Long live my lord, Ai Jia will tell you two things today. You must remember it! First, you are the emperor, and you don't need to look at the evidence to do things! You just need to look at this
In this incident, who benefits and who is the initiator! After all, some people do the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money! The people in this temple are all as smart as monkeys, how can anyone suffer a loss?
"
Emperor Wanli thought for a moment and said, "I seem to understand a little better, Queen Mother, what is the second thing?"
Empress Dowager Li showed an almost imperceptible smile on her lips, and then said: "Ai Jia will tell you the second thing, that is, if something is good for Long Live, good for the court, good for the world and the country, it will wrong some people.
It’s nothing special!”
After hearing this, Emperor Wanli thought for a long time before saying: "In this way, Emperor Wu Zong's death is indeed suspicious! Because the civil servants who benefited the most were the civil servants! They killed Jiang Bin, gathered military power, and completely returned to the imperial court.
The family in the hall is now the only one, am I right?"
Queen Mother Li said: "Long live Lord, you need to make your own judgment! There are some things that Long live Lord has to have some ideas of his own!"
After Empress Dowager Li said this, the whole room became quiet. Emperor Wanli suddenly felt that many things that were unclear before were much clearer, but some things were even more blurry!
