Chapter 56: It's Really Tea

The East Factory not only arrested people, but also the Jianchang Bo and the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture who came were arrested. Those who saw Zhang Yanling's brain were still watching the fun could not bear it anymore.

"This Dongchang is lawless and dares to openly arrest the imperial court nobles. Even if those nobles did not hand over the land on time, they should be handed over to Shuntian Prefecture for being punished. Now they have arrested the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture together. It is extremely evil. Thank you, the damn eunuch slaves, for not taking the imperial court's laws seriously, we can no longer let those eunuch slaves be arrogant."

"Go to participate in this Dongchang immediately, especially Zhang Yong, who is well known as one of the Eight Tigers, let him get out immediately." Although the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty knew that the Jinyiwei of the East Factory had always been the emperor's minions, they had never been monarchs. They could only put the blame on the Jinyiwei of the Jinyiwei, thinking that they had deceived the monarch.

Since the past hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, civil officials have been fighting against banners and eunuchs forever. The last tragic struggle is all in front of us. The new emperor has just ascended the throne and those dogs have just been suppressed. Now that the idea is about to arise, how can those eunuchs be unable to show off their power?

So nearly a dozen minutes into the East Factory's memorial was sent to the cabinet in the blink of an eye. Zhang Heling was also not idle. He had already contacted the British Duke Zhang Lun and some small households, but he found a killer weapon. Here he actually had Zhu Houcan's brother-in-law, the third brother-in-law who had just entered Beijing.

These people went straight to Cining Palace. Empress Dowager Zhang knew that she was not Zhu Houcong's biological mother. In order to fear that the new emperor was jealous, she had already started eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name. Moreover, she was very polite to Empress Dowager Jiang and did not dare to offend him at all.

"Juan'er, why is it so noisy outside?"

"The Empress Dowager, the uncle and the British Duke outside asked for a visit."

"Let them come in." Although Empress Dowager Zhang didn't care about the matter, she had been in charge of the harem for many years, and the news was at least smooth. His Majesty issued an order a few days ago to let the nobles return the land, and she knew that her two younger brothers were virtuous. It was simply ugly, otherwise Wuzong would not have disliked his two uncles, which made him disliked by Wuzong.

As soon as Zhang Heling came in, he rushed to Empress Dowager Zhang with familiarity, "Sister, you have to make the decision for us!"

Zhang Lun and Princess Yongfu, who followed him in, were embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He was not familiar with Empress Dowager Zhang, and even his wife Princess Yongfu would tell him some royal secrets on weekdays.

Empress Dowager Zhang twisted the Buddhist beads and shook her head helplessly, "Brother, you go back, I can't help you with this matter. After all, that was the decision of Your Majesty and the court officials, not something that I, a woman, can decide. Please do not harm the national laws because of this."

"Ah... My father died early, and we brothers are both sisters, you are the ones you have to raise. Do you have the heart to watch me wandering on the streets? Those lands are the foundation of the entire Zhang clan. Without our Zhang clan, hundreds of people will go to drink the northwest wind."

"Okay, don't pretend to be poor with me. Don't you know about your affairs? Go back quickly. Today is different from the past, don't make trouble."

Queen Mother Zhang looked at the British Duke Zhang Lun again, "Duke Zhang, why are you following my younger brother at this time? You shouldn't come to ask for the mourning family for this matter, go back."

Several people were driven out by Empress Dowager Zhang. Zhang Lun sighed, "Uncle Zhang, I think this is the case. I hand over some land to seek peace of mind. The Empress Dowager is right. As a Duke, he should have been a fellow practitioner of the country, how could he lose big profits for small profits?"

"Duke Zhang, you are our backbone, you can't retreat. If you retreat, what should we do?"

Zhang Heling looked at Princess Yongfu's son-in-law beside him, "Mr. Concubine, you are Your Majesty's brother-in-law. Even if Your Majesty ignores these nobles, you can't ignore you. It's better to go to Empress Dowager Jiang to plead with you. Your Majesty will definitely give you face."

The prince-consort shrank his head, "He is just a prince-consort who only knows how to eat and drink on weekdays, and never cared about politics. Now that he is instigated by everyone, he has never paid attention to him, and just wants to follow behind as a person. If he is asked to take the lead, he will be a little scared."

"Well, I am just a prince consort, and I'm just a little bit. Will it be inappropriate for me to go to find the Queen Mother?"

Zhang Heling cursed the waste, "After the son-in-law's work is completed, I will share you with thousands of acres of fertile land, which is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Think about it, if the court really takes back the land, not only will you not get anything, but when will you ask the tigress in your family?"

Turning back, Zhang Heling said viciously: "Don't forget the 50,000 taels of silver you owe. If those people go to the princess's house, do you want to know what will happen to you?"

He pushed the prince-consort and said, "Go to Jingren Palace quickly and don't delay any more. If you delay more time, the greater the loss."

In the West Garden, Li Fang quietly said beside Zhu Houcong: "The prince-in-law takes the lead in going to the empress dowager to talk about the land."

Zhu Houcon slowly put down the teacup, "This idiot, haven't he just come to the capital? Why is he used as a gun? It's so stupid"!

Zhu Houcon wanted to get up, but suddenly stopped. If his mother could not resist the persuasion, wouldn’t I have left and put myself in a dilemma?

"Li Fang, go to the princess's mansion as soon as possible and pick up the princess into the palace. Then she said that Empress Dowager Xiaoci missed the princess a little and asked the princess to stay in the palace for two days."

In Jingren Palace, Empress Dowager Jiang looked at her son-in-law helplessly, looking at her son-in-law who was talking in front of her. Although she didn't know what happened, her son-in-law actually came with a group of nobles, which was strange in itself. Those nobles and nobles are all good people, and you, a prince-consort who just entered the capital, are you involved in here?

Seeing that Zhu Houyan was delayed in the future, Empress Dowager Jiang had to say: "The Dongchang is too unreasonable. You are the nobles of the court and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. How can the Dongchang take you? The Ai family will let the emperor release others."

How could Zhang Heling and others give up without achieving their goal? They kept kicking and beating the prince-consort on the side.

The prince-consort hesitated for a moment, "Mother, the son-in-law came. In addition to being arrested for his housekeeper, the East Factory also forced my son-in-law to hand over all the fields in the mansion. That is the basis of the princess' food, clothing and expenses. You have to make the decision for your son-in-law."

"If this is true, those people are so bold that they dare to take Yongfu's property"?

What Queen Mother Jiang cares about most is her son and two daughters. She originally complained about the prince-consort, but now she has heard that the eunuchs and slaves bullied her daughter.

"But if this happens, if it is true, the Ai family wants to see which dog is so bold"?

"Go and invite the emperor to ask"?

Zhang Heling and others looked at each other and smiled. As long as the empress dowager spoke, the emperor could not refute it. At that time, as long as they pushed the guilt to Dongchang, and they were the victims of this matter, the emperor would not be able to let them all hand over the land at that time.
