"Report to the Empress, the nameless Bai Fei and Want to the Capital, has been killed in vain for more than 100 lives and deaths outside the capital..."

The noble man scolded him angrily and immediately knelt down. At this time, Zhang Cheng, as an instinct of an old eunuch who had been in the palace for nearly 40 years, kowtowed and explained, and after saying a few words, his calf hurt.

There is no need to turn around, Zhang Cheng also understood that it was Feng Bao who kicked him. He immediately reacted, just stopped explaining, increased the power of kowtow, and said:

"I'm asking the Empress to punish me, it's Meng Lang who is here."

The Empress Dowager Cisheng Li was angry that Zhang Cheng was behind the Public Security Department. The Public Security Department strictly investigated Wuming Bai, and it was Zhang Juzheng who refuted the motion to polite his brother Li Wenquan.

The so-called "women among Yao and Shun" naturally cannot be frightened because their brothers seek official positions. Today, eunuchs in the palace gathered to cry and complain, and Zhang Cheng, who was involved, would naturally be scolded.

Zhang Cheng kowtowed a few times below. Empress Dowager Li took a deep breath, but pinched the forehead with her hands. The female official Jinxiu next to her quickly stepped forward and whispered:

"My lady, don't be angry. Zhang Cheng has admitted his mistake. The empress's body of a thousand gold, don't hurt her body for such a thing!"

Empress Dowager Li raised her hand, and immediately a palace maid came forward holding a tea tray. Jinxiu gently took a silver bowl on it and gave it to Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li sucked in the import, closed her eyes slightly, but her face calmed down a lot. After Jinxiu took the silver bowl back, Empress Dowager Li said in a deep voice:

"Jinxiu, keep you, Feng Bao, Zhang Cheng and others here, let everyone else go down!"

Jinxiu quickly agreed, turned around and nodded at Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng, but waved to the others. The palace maids and eunuchs serving in the hall hurriedly bowed and retreated.

When all the irrelevant people retreated, Empress Dowager Li opened her eyes and said calmly:

"Zhang Juzheng scolded Gao Gong for his unintentional words. If it weren't for the help of Ai and Feng Bao, how could he have today..."

Halfway through, Empress Dowager Li glanced at Feng Bao who was bowing her head there and continued:

"But Mr. Zhang is also dedicated to the country. The Ming Dynasty's treasury has been scarce for so many years, but it has been so full in his hands. Alas... Zhang Cheng, get up!"

After Zhang Cheng thanked him, he stood up. Although his face was respectful and ashamed, his heart was beating there. Today, Empress Dowager Li's loss of composure and anger representing what it means, which means that there is a crack in the relationship between Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng. Empress Dowager Li wanted to speak but stopped and said a few more words about Zhang Juzheng's contributions.

This is clearly a concern for the alliance between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. The unbreakable iron triangle is now unstable. For others, this is an opportunity.

"Empress Dowager, although Mr. Zhang is well-versed, sometimes the scholars are a little more angry. When the Empress Dowager sends someone to admonish and persuade him, he knows that he is wrong. The Empress Dowager has a body of 100 million gold, so you must not be angry about this matter."

There was nothing wrong with Feng Bao's face, all of whom was concerned. Empress Dowager Li smiled faintly:

"The brothers of the Ai family cannot go anywhere. The cabinet cannot give this official. Just don't want to. There is no need to mention this matter."

Zhang Cheng lowered his head and stood there, excited, but sighed for Feng Bao. Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao had been at the top for too long. They were used to making decisions and always made decisions according to their own wishes. They felt a little uncomfortable with the other arbitrator above.

Especially the arbitrator was the Empress Dowager. In the Ming Dynasty, the Empress Dowager had a very little influence on the government affairs and had no legality in people's minds. Although Empress Dowager Li controlled the court remotely, her impression of the rules in the hearts of the people did not change. Feng Bao from the inner court and Zhang Ju from the outer court were in the front desk for too long, and even they themselves deliberately or unintentionally ignored it.

Emperor Wanli was guarded by Feng Bao since he was a child and respectfully called him "big partner". When he saw Feng Bao, he would sit down and dare not look lazy. When Emperor Wanli was still Prince Yu, Zhang Juzheng was his companion teacher. Since he ascended the throne, Emperor Wanli has never refuted Zhang Juzheng's memorial in person, and Zhang Juzheng even scolded the emperor.

The inspection of the fields and the one-whip method spread the world. The several great victory over the Tartars made Zhang Juzheng's prestige more grand. Feng Bao also rose because of the alliance with Zhang Juzheng, and they became increasingly impatient with others' intervention.

Maybe they don’t feel it themselves, but they have unknowingly expanded and already feel that they can decide everything...

Zhang Cheng's heart was overturned, but he also understood that the alliance between Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao was not so easy to be shaken. Otherwise, Empress Dowager Li would not want to speak but stop, and she would complain only if she wanted to dismiss the people. She would also talk about the credit after complaining.

The palace was quiet for a while, and Empress Dowager Li said calmly:

"There is a difference between inside and outside. People outside the palace are always different from those inside the palace. If the palace is unstable, people outside will take advantage of loopholes. The Ai family also knows something about the morning events. The cases outside the palace are cases outside the palace. Those people are involved outside. If they enter the palace, they will be people in the palace. If they break off contact with the outside, they will be responsible for their duties... As for those outside, they are all pitiful people, and they should also have more pensions in the palace."

After hearing the Queen Mother finished speaking, the tone had been decided, so Zhang Cheng could only kneel down and praise the saints for their gratitude.

"Mr. Li, Lord. Mr. Lu, and Eunuch Zhang sent a letter from the palace today. The Public Security Department and Shuntian Prefecture stopped immediately when they checked Wumingbai everywhere outside the city!"

The three members of the Public Security Department were busy with affairs, but in the afternoon they were summoned by Zou Yi's letter and came to Zhenxing Building. Zou Yi's first words surprised the two of them.

"Eunuch Zou, many clues have been found in Wumingbai. Although it is well hidden, as long as you work harder, you will definitely find out the big thing. The Sanyang Sect, whom Lord Wang has always cared about..."

The first person to speak was Lu Wancai. When he heard Zou Yi say this, he immediately became anxious. He said a few words, but was interrupted by Zou Yi's voice raised:

"Mr. Lu!! The Queen Mother has already made an oral order. I will investigate again. It will be a disaster. Without the support of the Queen Mother, anyone inside and outside will find a reason. You and I will be a place that will never be restored. We will never be restored. We will even involve Lord Wang, and even Master Long Live. Lord Lu must distinguish between the minority and the great fortune and good fortune!"

"Since I'm not allowed to investigate clearly, I'll arrange a few people who can rest assured to watch it. If you find out the matter, you'll catch someone openly!!"

Li Wenyuan, who was silent, spoke, Zou Yi patted his hands and sighed:

"Two, why don't you understand this matter? The Empress Dowager wants to sell favors to the people in the internal yamen. This matter is not allowed to be investigated. No matter what has been done outside, the Empress Dowager will all be exempted from crimes. Let's stare outside. If the people in the palace know about it and sue it, it will not only be furious, but also Eunuch Zhang will definitely be difficult to do. Even if you find out something, the Empress Dowager has already made an oral order. We will be charged with disobedience first."

Li Wenyuan stopped talking, and Lu Wan sighed, opened the folding fan in his hand and slapped it a few times, then frowned and said:

"Are you really giving up halfway?"

"Wait, Lord Wang often says to wait. Eunuch Zhang also made it clear this time. Let's calm down and wait."

"Long lively, Wang Tong always advises and says he calms down and waits for the truth!"

The imperial study room is the private place of Emperor Wanli. Zhang Cheng said to Emperor Wanli with some excitement. Emperor Wanli's face was quite excited, nodded repeatedly, and said:

"Mr. Zhang has been assisting the court for too long, and he has neglected it in small matters. Without the support from his mother behind the scenes, I don't have to be so cowardly every day. Mr. Zhang, let the censors who can speak there write memorials..."

Emperor Wanli was a little excited. Hearing this, Zhang Cheng subconsciously looked back and saw that there were naturally only two people in the imperial study room, and Zhao Jinliang was on duty outside the door.

"Long live, why did the Empress Dowager not let the Public Security Bureau investigate? It was not to stabilize the hearts of the people in the palace that they should first gather the internal officials. Zhang Ge Lao is becoming more and more famous and powerful. Therefore, the Empress Dowager must rely on the internal ministers as a means. The Empress Dowager is so cautious, why should the Emperor move rashly?"

He was a little rude. Basically, Empress Dowager Li was like this, and Your Majesty should be more careful. Emperor Wanli didn't realize it, after all, it was the truth.

Emperor Wanli sat there and was silent for a while, but smiled and said:

"It's true that there's no need to hurry. It's still the same. I'm just waiting slowly. I really didn't expect that someone like Mr. Zhang would make such a mistake, which is interesting and interesting!"

"Old Zhang Ge Lao rejected Li Wenyuan's motion to be the deputy general of the Beijing camp. Now it is circulated everywhere in the capital, and many scholars wrote articles to praise it, which is the most discussed now."

Yang Sichen was reading the document there, Wang Tong wrote a few words on a document with a hard pen, raised his head and said with a smile:

"The civil ministers' face of the Tian family is called "the character of the courtesy, but they didn't expect that Zhang Ge Lao and others would do such stupid things."

Hearing Wang Tong's joke, Yang Sichen said with a smile:

"What the lord said is that the reward for Mr. Zhang is still there, and there is no sign of any reduction in the palace. This is also the reason why there are so many praises outside."

"No, don't be busy, wait and see!"

Wang Tong Youran said that the few people in the highest position had a little conflict. In the struggle for power to control the entire Ming Empire, these little conflicts would slowly grow, from a small hole to a gap, and then become irreparable cracks.

"Senggedu Gulen and Sanniangzi have been married. As usual, the court has named Senggedu Gulen as King of Shunyi, and then named Sanniang as Mrs. Zhongshun. Both the court and the people think that Zheng Luo has made contributions and wants to be promoted."

Hearing Yang Sichen read this, Wang Tong sneered, threw the hard pen in his hand on the table, and said:

"Zheng Luo advised him hard, saying that the division is not conducive to Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty. His brain is broken. How can he benefit the Ming Dynasty and promote his official position together? What contributions are there? Could it be that he has made merits when he has pulled this pimp for our Ming Dynasty!!"
