    The Queen Mother also issued a decree to comfort Liu, saying that there were many senior ministers in the previous dynasty who were in their 70s or 80s. My husband was only in his early fifties and still in his prime, so how could he say that he was aging?  Don't say that, I will never let you go back.

    However, Xianggong Zhang was determined to leave, and the emperor repeatedly expressed his condolences to stay, but he still refused to come back to take charge.  In order to allow the emperor to let him go back to his hometown, he took a step back and said that if I ask to go, I will never come back.  I just begged for a few years to take care of my old mother, and I also took the opportunity to recuperate my body.  Once there is a big event in the country and the emperor still needs his ministers to come, I will come back to serve at that time.

    But Wanli still insisted not to do it, and replied depressingly: I haven't seen you for several days, and I feel a little disappointed.  Why is this happening again?  Do you want to leave?  There's absolutely no way, you know?  !

    In addition, the emperor also wrote a separate edict on dragon paper, instructing Feng Baopeng, the eunuch in charge of rituals, to go to Zhang Juzheng's private residence to deliver the edict.

    Feng Bao has known Zhang Juzheng for half his life, and he probably understands what he is thinking, and is worried that he will not accept the order this time and will be completely out of control.  Then he opened the sedan curtain and asked his nephew Feng Bangning, who was waiting outside, "Where is Mr. Xiaoge now?"

    "Going back to uncle, it should be in Dashamao Hutong, right?" Feng Bangning said not very sure: "It seems that after Mrs. Zhao fell ill, he never left."

    "It seems like it." Feng Bao snorted unhappily: "Go, no matter where he is, please quickly ask him to wait for me at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

    "Yes." Feng Bangning hurriedly ran away. Feng Baoming's sedan moved slowly, deliberately waiting for Zhao Hao to go.

    After a cup of tea, Feng Bangning ran back panting and reported that Mr. Xiao Ge was indeed at Xianggong Zhang's house.

    Eunuch Feng then asked the sedan to speed up, and soon it arrived at Dashamao Hutong.

    Because of the advance instructions, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was still closed. The Jin Yiwei blocked Dashamao Hutong, and Eunuch Feng's sedan dropped down in front of the door.

    Zhao Hao had been waiting at the gate of Guangliang for a long time. When he saw Eunuch Feng, he hurriedly raised his hands and saluted.

    Feng Bao waved his hand, pointed at the concierge and said, "Go in and talk."

    "Please." Zhao Hao nodded and led Eunuch Feng into the concierge.

    ??~~

    Fruit snacks had already been placed in the concierge. After the guards served tea, Zhao Hao withdrew, leaving only You Qi to wait on him.  Then he asked Feng Baodao: "What are your orders, sir?"

    "What else can there be? What is your father-in-law going to do?" Eunuch Feng pointed at You Qi angrily: "I asked Xu Jue to ask him, but he didn't know all the questions."

    "You really don't know," You Qi said, spreading his hands in frustration, "I've been living in the old lady's room these days to take care of her illness, and I haven't been able to leave the house."

    After a pause, he whispered again: "Besides, I am in a very bad mood. Mr. Xiaoge and several young masters do not dare to ask questions, let alone the villain?"

    "Trash!" Feng Bao was also very angry. He cursed, turned to Zhao Hao and said, "You know Mr. Zhang's thoughts best, tell me!"

    "To be honest with you, I have been away from Beijing for two years, and when I see my father-in-law again, I feel like he is a complete stranger." Zhao Hao smiled wryly and spread his hands:

    "How should I put it, we are not as close to each other as we used to be"

    In fact, a more accurate statement is that the power of God is unpredictable. Of course, this word cannot be used randomly.

    "Oh, I feel the same way." Eunuch Feng nodded with deep approval: "Since the affair, I feel that my uncle's temperament has changed drastically. He has closed himself off, even those who trust us the most.  , and don¡¯t want to open up.¡±

    "Then we can only speculate." Zhao Hao sighed softly and said: "My lord is in the ceremonial department. Do you know if something happened recently that irritated my father-in-law?"

    "Our family has been investigated in the past few days." Feng Bao frowned slightly, took out a memorial from his sleeve and said: "The emperor has personally plowed the land and visited the tomb, and the two young masters have also graduated from high school. The world is even more prosperous.  , the government is well-connected and people are harmonious, and even the Yellow River has been repaired. It is a prosperous scene! There is only a little noise"

    Zhao Hao took it over and looked at it. In March, Zhao Shiqing, the head of the Nanjing Ministry of War, submitted the "Five Essentials of Kuang Shi". It said that the first was to recruit more scholars, the second was to loosen the ban on postal transmission, the third was to expand the provinces, and the fourth was to  The five key points are to open the way for speech.

    Reducing school quotas, cutting off post offices, imposing severe punishments and laws, urging tax collection, and provincial debates were all part of Zhang Juzheng¡¯s reforms. Now Zhao Shiqing wants to overthrow them all. Naturally, he is going against Xianggong Zhang¡¯s new policies.

    The most egregious part is one of the passages. He said: Why are the officials in the Department of Science and Technology now so flattering and courteous, but silent on military and national affairs? Are they just a group of people who have failed to live up to the grace of God?  This is because Fu Yingzhen, Ai Mu, and Liu Tai were all offended by Jianyan and are now with the garrison, so Yanguan has remained silent.  Please Your Majesty, please release those ministers who have offended because of their suggestions.The specious phase power are two completely different concepts, okay?

    Be regent for another twelve years!  What a temptation this is!  No one can resist it?  !  So what if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in twelve years?  !

    ¡®Li Cai¡¯e really doesn¡¯t regard her father-in-law as an outsider.  ¡¯ Mr. Zhao couldn¡¯t help but secretly sigh, isn¡¯t this forcing Wanli to imitate Qin Shihuang?

    "Can Xianggong Zhang feel relieved now?" Feng Baoque said with a proud smile: "Twelve years is enough for him to complete the reform and retire calmly, right?"

    "Of course that's enough." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.

    But the question is, can the father-in-law live that long?

    If nothing else happens, he will only live a fraction of the time.

    "But I helped him avoid lead poisoning and cured his hemorrhoids. He should be able to live a few more yearsright?"

    ps. No more tonight.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
