When Zhao Hao received the news that Sebastian had arrived safely in Yongxia City, it was already April of the seventh year of Wanli.
He hasn¡¯t appeared on the scene for more than a year, so let¡¯s briefly review:
At the end of the fifth year of Wanli reign, he resolved his father-in-law's love affair in Beijing and pushed his father into the cabinet.
But we can¡¯t give up right away. Don¡¯t you have to give me a ride if you help me get on the horse? So after the tenth anniversary meeting on Tamluo Island, he returned to the capital to celebrate the New Year. Before March of the sixth year of Wanli, he stayed in the capital to help his father learn how to be a good bachelor.
In the spring of the sixth year of Wanli, the biggest event was the wedding of Emperor Wanli. On the eve of the emperor's wedding, Mrs. Li retreated to Cining Palace and issued an edict to end the behind-the-curtain administration.
But she was still worried about her sixteen-year-old son, so she still did not allow Wanli to rule in person, and completely handed over the responsibility of guardianship of the emperor to Zhang Juzheng.
For this reason, she issued a special edict to Zhang Juzheng:
"The emperor's wedding is coming soon. I should return to this palace and not be able to keep an eye on it as before. I am afraid that the emperor will not be as diligent and virtuous as Qian Xiang. I am deeply concerned about this." My husband is personally entrusted by the emperor and has the responsibility of being a teacher and protector, which is different from others. This special edict is entrusted to you, sir, to accept your teachings day and night, to supplement your virtue, and to be faithful to the emperor's entrustment to the end. The common people, the country, and the common people will always depend on you. Sir, I respect you and respect it, so I enjoin you to do so. ¡¯
Therefore, after the love affair and the emperor's wedding, Xianggong Zhang's power was not weakened, but strengthened. Now he is not only the regent of a country, but also the guardian of the emperor. It is not an exaggeration to call him 'father'.
At the Wanli wedding, Xianggong Zhang should evacuate as a rule, so he also went to Shu to ask for evasion. However, Empress Dowager Li specially ordered him to wear auspicious clothes during the ceremony and preside over the wedding for her students.
At the wedding ceremony of Wanbang Xianqing, Zhang Juzheng burst into tears of joy when he saw that the young emperor, who had reached the peak of his youth, had grown up and become a vigorous young emperor. More gratifying than seeing his biological son get married.
Because the total amount of effort he put into all his sons was far less than the amount he put into the emperor alone!
After the wedding, Mr. Zhang sent letters one after another requesting that he be given leave to return home and bury his father as agreed.
It was not until the third book that the emperor approved it, but he only gave him half a year's leave after going back and forth.
??~~
On March 13, Xianggong Zhang was finally able to set off.
Before leaving, he went to Qianqing Palace to bid farewell to the newly married emperor.
"Sir, come closer." Wan Li on the throne ordered.
Zhang Juzheng took a few steps forward. Wanli looked at Mr. Zhang, who had been Prime Minister for many years. His beautiful beard was already graying, and he looked more than ten years older than before.
Although he felt a great sense of relief, at the moment of separation, he still had the upper hand and said: "Sir, take care of yourself after a long journey, and don't be too sad when you get home. Go early and come back early. My mother and I are looking forward to returning day and night."
Zhang Juzheng was so moved that he fell to the ground and sobbed.
"Sir, don't be sad" Wan Li also said sadly: "I have a lot of things to say to you, sir. Seeing you sad, I am choked up and can't say it."
Because Mr. Zhang was in mourning and could not leave any food, Wanli asked the eunuch to divide half of the imperial meal into a food box and send it home to Zhang Juzheng.
Empress Dowager Li also sent her brother to give Juzheng a bunch of golden beans as a reward for people on the way. It was also reported that the Empress Dowager orally said:
? ¡®After Sir, the Emperor will have nothing to rely on. Since you can't bear to leave the emperor, you should come early when your family affairs are over, and don't wait for others to rush you. ¡¯
After Xie En left the palace, Mr. Zhang set out for the capital. Zhao Hao also has to go to Jiangling with him. Instead, he saw his father-in-law's majesty at its peak.
On behalf of the emperor and the queen mother, Eunuch Feng went to the countryside to see them off. All the ministers, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also went out of the suburbs to see him off.
Along the way, in addition to the internal guards and imperial guards who were ordered to escort Yuan Fu back home, Qi Jiguang, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, also sent one hundred musketeers and one hundred archers to accompany the escort.
Everywhere they went, roads were paved with loess, streets were sprinkled with pure water, and civil and military forces were mobilized to hold sacrifices and greetings. The officials knelt on the ground and cried out to heaven and earth, as if they were mourning for their heirs. It was really ugly. Even the vassal kings from all walks of life came to the world to greet him and presented them with gifts and tributes. No one dared to neglect.
Zhang Xianggong only accepted memorial offerings along the way, and all gifts were returned. He only accepted the 'Ruyi Zhai' given to him by Qian Pu, the prefect of Zhending.
Because Zhang and Xiang have to deal with state affairs on the highway, they cannot waste time. Moreover, he also has severe hemorrhoids, which may relapse after riding in an ordinary sedan chair for a long time. So Champ spent a huge sum of money to build a "Ruyi Zhai" for him with a study room, a bedroom and a bathroom.
The area of ????this Ruyi Zhai is close to 50 square meters, just like a small apartment, and there is no need for cattle or horses.Then they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together to plead for mercy, saying that a minister like Gao Gong would never do such stupid things. Zhang Juzheng saw that people's support was indeed what his son-in-law said, so he finally spoke to persuade Feng Bao.
Of course, Zhao Hao also worked hard, and Eunuch Feng let go of Lao Gao, who had no power to fight back, and only sent Chen Hong to the Ping Army for humiliation
Therefore, the case of Minister Wang, which had a far-reaching influence in another time and space, did not cause any waves here and now, and it just became a chapter.
Even Gao Gong didn¡¯t mention it, Zhao Hao had forgotten about it.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "Xuan Weng said seriously, I didn't help much, it's just that good people should be rewarded."
"Alas, Young Master, no matter what you say, I, Gao Gong, appreciate your love." Gao Gong cupped his hands and said, "Zhao Liben has such a good grandson like you. It is really a blessing that he has cultivated for eight lifetimes!"
"Oh, yes, can you tell us what grudges you have?" Zhao Hao asked with a curious look on his face.
"No!" Gao Gong said flatly.
"Can Xuan Weng put aside the grudge against my father-in-law?" Zhao Hao feigned a shot and asked the real question.
"Is this" Gao Gong curled up his beard and looked at Zhao Hao in shock. Xin said how did you know that I wanted to hack him? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
