Zhang Siwei!

When Shenxing...

One person after another emerged, and they all stood opposite to reform.

How could Zhang Juzheng not know how much energy these people have? What will they do next?

Zhang Juzheng could not predict this, but one thing he could be sure of was that once they took action, they would never give him any room to survive, not only himself, but also the emperor and the queen mother...

Thinking of the night talk with Shi Yiwen earlier, Zhang Juzheng's face changed slightly. He was silent for a moment before he ordered You Qi.

"You Qi, please go to Ji Town with my own letter..."

After ordering his confidant to go to Jizhen, Zhang Juzheng was still a little restless. He thought for a while before sighing, then got up again and headed straight for the palace in a carriage.

Although it was already February, when Zhang Juzheng walked into Huiji Gate and walked through the three main halls of Huiji Zhongji Jianji along the east corridor. Finally, he came to the Yuntai Gate, a layer of fine beads of sweat had already oozed on his forehead. While he was wiping his sweat, the eunuch who led the way whispered:

"Please stay a little while Mr. Zhang, and I will go in and report first."

As soon as the manager sign entered, a hoarse voice came out in a moment, which was the emperor's voice. Now Zhu Yijun's voice was gone, the young man's crispness.

"Please come in, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Juzheng first used to tidy up his official robe, stroked his already ironed beard, and then lifted up the corner of the robe and walked into the door. As soon as he entered, he saw Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao both inside. The seats of the three of them were roughly the same as when they met last time. He immediately bowed his scepter and bowed over to the head to perform the rituals of the king and the ministers, and said loudly:

"My minister Zhang Juzheng met the emperor and Empress Dowager Li."

When facing Zhang Juzheng this year, Zhu Yijun no longer felt as afraid as before. Perhaps it was because of "money to boost people's courage". Since Shi Yiwen used the Cash and Taxation Department, the monthly tax amounted to 600,000 taels. Even after deducting various expenses, the monthly silver entering the treasury was not less than 500,000 taels. As for the silver, the income of the treasury even exceeded that of the Ministry of Revenue. How could Zhu Yijun not be proud? Of course, he was not so afraid of Zhang Juzheng when he was proud.

"Sit down and talk."

A young eunuch brought a stool for Zhang Juzheng. As soon as Zhang Juzheng sat down, Zhu Yijun started to speak.

"Mr. I want to see me and the Queen Mother. I wonder if there is anything important?"

Zhu Yijun was in a good mood this time, not only because the internal warehouse is sufficient now, but also because last month, the queen diagnosed with a happy meridian and became pregnant. This is undoubtedly good news for the Ming Dynasty, especially for Zhu Yijun himself. After all, for the emperor, passing on the family line is also an extremely important mission.

"minister……"

Zhang Juzheng, who had already sat down, thought for a while, stood up again and said.

"I have something to do to report to Your Majesty!"

Zhang Juzheng, holding a tablet in his hand and leaning over to salute, did not even look up, but said in a somewhat gloomy voice.

"I am really old, so please agree to my retirement and return home..."

"ah!"

Not to mention Zhu Yijun, who had always been eager to take power, even Empress Dowager Li, who advocated that the emperor would take power in another ten years, was shocked. She had always hoped that Zhang Juzheng would take charge of the government so that her son would not make big mistakes at a young age and ruin his ancestors' country. Empress Dowager Li, who said in a hurry.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?"

Empress Dowager Li, who stood up, stared at Zhang Juzheng and said.

"Mr. Zhang, since the emperor ascended the throne, thanks to Mr. Lu's labor in the state, the country of Ming Dynasty has become increasingly prosperous over the years. Although the emperor has already married now, the emperor is still young and ignorant, and he cannot do without Mr. Lu. In any case, please don't mention the word "Speaker"!"

Although he was very resistant to the mother's statement that "young and ignorant" was said, Zhu Yijun also did not want Zhang Juzheng to leave. After all, he knew that as an emperor, he had to use virtuousness, and Zhang Juzheng was virtuousness. So he hurriedly said.

"Sir, do you want to abandon the student?"

The emperor and the empress dowager were trying to keep him, especially when he heard the little emperor's words "Sir, should you abandon the student and leave?" Zhang Juzheng felt a heat in his heart. He had already bowed and fell to his knees and knelt on the ground.

"Why did sir do this great gift?"

Zhu Yijun was startled by Zhang Juzheng's gift, which only took place when he ascended the throne.

Zhang Juzheng kowtowed and said.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I want to abandon Your Majesty, but that I can't stay in the court anymore, otherwise I will definitely cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Uh...this, sir, what does this mean?"

Faced with the emperor's confusion, Zhang Juzheng said.

"Your Majesty is in the palace, maybe I don't know. Now there are countless people who say that Your Majesty favors treacherous and treacherous, and I am the biggest treacherous minister..."

"Who! Who dares to be so bold!"

Zhu Yijun immediately said angrily.

"Who has such courage and dares to slander Mr. He so much? Don't they know that thanks to Mr. He's in charge over the years, my Ming Dynasty has achieved its prosperity today?"

Although Zhu Yijun had no freedom at all under Zhang Juzheng's education for many years and had even lived in his shadow, Zhu Yijun was also very clear about what Zhang Juzheng had worked hard in over the years. Besides, others said that Zhang Juzheng was a treacherous slander, so wouldn't he be a fool who trusted treacherous?

Zhu Yijun, who was filled with anger, said loudly again.

"Do they really think I can be bullied at a young age?"

While angry, Zhu Yijun said again.

"Mr. Zhang, just don't worry. No matter what others say, I believe in you!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, don't listen to nonsense outsiders. The Ai family knows that you have worked hard for the country over the years, and you can't say anything about your speech."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager treats me with kindness as much as a mountain. How can I not know? But I thought, what if it is because of me, it will affect the Ming Dynasty, or even affect your Majesty, even if it is broken, I will not want to see all this..."

As Zhang Juzheng said, his throat choked and his eyebrows were closed. Empress Dowager Li was moved, and her crystal tears were circling in her eyes, but she still heard other meanings from Zhang Juzheng's words. Based on her understanding of Zhang Juzheng, if she had not encountered any difficult things, he would not have thought of resigning in any case.

It's about Your Majesty!

Not only did Empress Dowager Li see it, but Zhu Yijun also saw it. He realized that this matter was probably not that simple. After thinking about it, he ordered the eunuch waiting at the door.
