Emperor Wanli was silent for a moment and then said: "Mother, do you think Liu Haojia is trustworthy?"
Empress Dowager Li nodded slowly and said: "At least for now, he is trustworthy! But Long Live Lord, you must also pay attention to one thing. Even if he is loyal, he is still a bold guy! If these words are spread today, the entire Gu Ning
The Boguo Mansion will fall into a place of eternal disaster!"
At this point, Empress Dowager Li suddenly smiled and said: "The Ai family also asked people to investigate the background of Gu Ningbo's house. How could such a loyal and honest family produce such a smart little hozen? This is true.
What an anomaly!"
Emperor Wanli felt much relieved when he heard Empress Dowager Li's comments. He was at the age when a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so he didn't care whether Liu Haojia was brave or not, he cared more about whether Liu Haojia was loyal! So he joked: "Maybe it is.
God is merciful, and you can't always let honest people suffer, right? So all the wisdom of generations fell on him!"
At this time, Queen Mother Li restrained her smile and said: "But Long Live Lord, you still have to pay attention to one thing. As the saying goes, listen to his words and watch his actions! The most important thing is to watch his actions! Only in this way can you tell whether a minister is really loyal!"
But Emperor Wanli suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Mother, is Mr. Zhang a loyal minister or a treacherous minister?"
Empress Dowager Li raised her eyes seriously and said: "Mr. Zhang is naturally loyal! But what he finally wants is the country of the Ming Dynasty, not the Long Live Lord!"
Emperor Wanli sneered and said: "Of course I understand this! But Feng Bao is really unfaithful! He was originally a servant of the royal family, and he must put the royal family first in everything, but now he is thinking about the power and covets
Scenery, you have forgotten your roots!”
Because Queen Mother Li had been in contact with Feng Bao for a long time in the palace, and Feng Bao supported her in running the harem, and things were handled properly, the relationship between the two was pretty good. So she instinctively thought after hearing Emperor Wanli's words
Explain a few sentences for Feng Bao.
But in the eyes of Queen Mother Li, Feng Bao had indeed done some things well! And more importantly, Emperor Wanli was his own son, and Feng Bao was just a slave! If she could use this to sharpen Emperor Wanli, she would
Don’t care if you send Feng Bao to death!
So Queen Mother Li just hesitated for a moment and said: "Long live Lord, you are still young now, and you still need the support of Feng Daban in the inner court and the harem. And he has always done things properly, so it is better for Long live Lord not to be easily distracted now!"
Emperor Wanli easily understood what Empress Dowager Li said, which meant that you can't touch Feng Bao now, and you don't have the ability to do so! But if your wings become stiff in the future, Feng Bao's family won't care what you do! So he just
He nodded and said nothing.
After talking to Empress Dowager Li, Emperor Wanli was even more anxious! But he still held on to his temper and studied with Zhang Juzheng and others every day, patiently waiting for news about Liu Haojia.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. Just when Emperor Wanli was about to run out of patience, a young eunuch sent him a badge.
Zhang Jia was overjoyed after receiving the waist card! Did he know how irritable Emperor Wanli had been in private these past few days? So after he got the waist card, he threw the little eunuch's almost two-liang weight away
A piece of silver, and regardless of the young eunuch's surprise gifts, he hurried all the way to Emperor Wanli's palace.
When Zhang Jia ran into the palace, Emperor Wanli was scolding a eunuch loudly. It sounded like the tea was too hot! When Emperor Wanli heard the sound of running, he felt even more irritated. He raised his head and was about to scold him when he saw Zhang Jia running over.
.So he shouted loudly: "You dog slave, why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhang Jia didn't say anything, and directly held the waist card with both hands and sent it to Emperor Wanli. As soon as Emperor Wanli saw the waist card, he immediately became happy! He kicked the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and said: "Go away, today you are
Good luck!"
When the eunuch heard this, he rolled out happily and ran away. Emperor Wanli said directly: "Zhang Jia, this is indeed your belt, isn't it?"
Zhang Jia nodded repeatedly and said: "Long live my lord, this is my slave's belt, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!"
Emperor Wanli slammed the table and said loudly: "Okay! It seems that Liu Haojia has an idea! He is indeed smart! Zhang Jia, when can I leave the palace?"
On the way back, Zhang Jia had already planned the time, and he immediately said: "It will have to wait until tomorrow!"
Emperor Wanli frowned and said, "Don't we still have three days? It's too long! It's too long! I can't wait! What do you think of me pretending to be sick?"
Zhang Jia hurriedly dissuaded him and said: "Long live my Lord, this is absolutely impossible! If you pretend to be sick and leave the palace, I'm afraid Mr. Zhang won't be able to explain it!"
Emperor Wanli was a little frightened when he heard Zhang Jia mentioned Zhang Juzheng, and he couldn't help but hesitate. Zhang Jia took the opportunity to persuade: "Long live my lord, you have been waiting for more than a month, and it is not too late in the past few days. You said it is
no?"
Emperor Wanli thought for a moment and nodded and said: "Well, you prepare first, and we will leave the palace as soon as the day comes!"
On the day when he left the palace, Emperor Wanli and his people rushed directly to Gu Ningbo's mansion excitedly. As soon as he was welcomed into the courtyard by Liu Haojia, he saw a crowd of people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard!
Emperor Wanli couldn't help being stunned when he saw this. Liu Haojia hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the last time you came to Cao Min's house, my father was not here. He was very sorry that he could not see Tian Yan! So he knew that Cao Min sent his waist card to the house.
After entering the palace, I have been staying here for the past few days because I want to see His Majesty! Moreover, the common people have ordered everyone to keep their mouths shut and not to spread the news of His Majesty's arrival!"
Emperor Wanli was very satisfied with the attitude of Gu Ningbo's house, nodded and said: "Just keep the people under control. Those in the capital who should know the news will still know, and those who don't know will not know!"
After saying that, he walked directly into the crowd, but Liu Haojia did not dare to follow him and could only stand aside. When Liu's father saw Emperor Wanli striding over, he hurriedly paid homage!
Emperor Wanli also knew how to win people's hearts, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and motioned for the others to stand up. At this time, Father Liu's face was already flushed with excitement! At this moment, he felt that he had reached the peak of his life!
His ancestors of previous generations had no chance to even invite the emperor to their home, or even worship the emperor from a distance in the main hall! But he has a good son, but he can attract the emperor to his home. This is really amazing.
There is smoke rising from the ancestral grave!
After being called by Emperor Wanli, he slightly bent his knees, bowed his waist, and tried his best to keep the same height as Emperor Wanli, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty can come to Weichen's home, Weichen is very happy! Everyone in Weichen's family must be filial.
Your loyal majesty, I will not hesitate to break my body to pieces!"
