Forbidden City.
Outside the noon gate.
Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng looked at the Brocade Guard in front of them and had a bad feeling. Feng Bao was a eunuch with a seal, so he did not need to be introduced to enter the palace.
Now that 120 Brocade Guards had appeared in front of them, they were clearly being escorted into the palace…
Cold sweat kept dripping down Feng Bao's forehead…
He turned to Cao Zhengchun and saw that he was still smiling and looking very friendly.
However, Feng Bao knew Cao Zhengchun's character. No matter who he faced, Cao Zhengchun would always have a kind smile on his face. Under the disguise of this smile, he was vicious and cunning.
After entering the Meridian Gate, Feng Bao said to the guard commander,""Let's go to the Cining Palace to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager first.”
If Feng Bao wanted to obtain the Empress Dowager's protection, he could only be safe by entering Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager was Feng Bao's greatest backer.
Feng Bao was able to gain both inside and outside the palace because his master was the Empress Dowager.
The leader of the guards said without turning his head,"There's no need to go to the Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager will also be waiting for the decree at the Palace of Heavenly Purity!”
Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng gasped.
Under the escort of the imperial guards, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng arrived at the bluestone square outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity and waited there…
Feng Bao's heart was in turmoil.
Wasn't there a three-hall trial today to admonish the emperor?
After reprimanding the Emperor, he executed Cao Zhengchun.
In Feng Bao's plan, the Empress Dowager and Zhang Ju were supposed to be in Cining Palace at this moment, and the Emperor was supposed to be kneeling in the main hall of Cining Palace, holding the ruler with both hands, waiting for the Empress Dowager to punish him.
Cao Zhengchun, who tricked the emperor out of the palace, should be put in prison…
The emperor was terrified and Cao Zhengchun was executed. In the end, he was the fisherman and gained complete control of the East Chamber.
However, why was he waiting in the Palace of Heavenly Purity?
The commander of the guards actually said that the Empress Dowager would also come to the Palace of Heavenly Purity?
Feng Bao tried to talk to the palace guards who were watching over him and Zhang Juzheng, but they ignored him.
This made Feng Bao feel even more uneasy.
However, he kept comforting himself in his heart. With the Empress Dowager making the decision, the Empress Dowager would be able to suppress everyone when she came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity!
All along, the emperor had always been the one being lectured and had never resisted. Feng Bao also did not believe that Zhu Yijun, who was only ten years old, could cause any monstrous waves! After all, the Empress Dowager was in charge of the country…
……
In Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Li was a bit restless. The Eunuch Wang Guozhong's ears and nose had been cut off by Jun 'er…
Why would Jun 'er order such torture?
Palace of Heavenly Purity?
He had to go!
He had to go!
She didn't know what was going on, but she had to find out what Jun 'er was up to!
To actually do such a vicious thing to a eunuch in his own palace!
Empress Dowager Li stood up and regained her dignity!
"Someone come! I'm going to the Palace of Heavenly Purity!"
Empress Dowager Li rode on her phoenix carriage and headed to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. She wanted to see what kind of demon the Emperor had committed. If he had killed a eunuch for no reason, she would not let him off easily!
He couldn't let Jun 'er become a foolish ruler!
Empress Dowager Li's carriage headed to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. At this moment, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, who were waiting to reprimand the Emperor, had been waiting outside for a long time.
……
Ciqing Palace.
Empress Dowager Chen Xiao 'er was playing the guzheng. The melodious guzheng played the tune of high mountains and flowing water. Empress Dowager was multi-talented. Not only was she good at singing, but she was also good at all kinds of musical instruments, especially the guzheng. Her guzheng was also the world's famous guzheng.
Ciqing Palace was peaceful. The palace maids and eunuchs gathered around the empress dowager, listening to the empress dowager play the song of mountains and flowing water. They were all entranced…
It was as if they were in the middle of a high mountain, with a waterfall passing through the canyon under their feet…
"Empress Dowager, His Majesty sent Empress Dowager Li to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and punished the chief eunuch of the Palace of Compassion. Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng are also at the Palace of Heavenly Purity…"
The chief eunuch of Ciqing Palace hurried into the palace.
Chen Xiao 'er stopped playing the zither and asked doubtfully,""Younger Sister went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity? This was a little strange. Why were Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng here?”
"Reporting to Empress Dowager, according to what I know, His Majesty and Cao Zhengchun left the palace privately yesterday. After Feng Bao found out, he told Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li was furious and asked Feng Bao to go out of the palace to find Zhang Juzheng to reprimand the Emperor…"
"reprimanding the emperor again?"
Chen Xiao 'er stood up. Feng Bao did not have a good memory!”
"Since when did it become a luxury for the Great Ming Emperor to leave the palace?”
"I want to see who dares to admonish the emperor in front of me!”
The Empress Dowager set out to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Although Empress Dowager Li was Zhu Yijun's biological mother and became the Empress Dowager because of this identity, she was only the Empress Dowager in name. The real head of the six palaces was Empress Dowager Chen Xiao 'er.
The empress dowager was the empress of the previous emperor, and Empress Dowager Li was only a concubine…
If Chen Xiao 'er did not love Zhu Yijun and let Li Cai' er go, how could Li Cai 'er become the Empress Dowager?
How could there be two Empress Dowager in the Imperial Palace?
The Empress Dowager had come to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. This time, she wanted to punish Feng Bao. Even if he was Empress Dowager Li's confidant, even if he was talented and capable, he could not repeatedly offend his superiors!
……
On the bluestone square outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Large drops of sweat fell from Feng Bao's forehead. This time, he reported to the Empress Dowager that the Emperor had been bewitched by Cao Zhengchun to leave the palace. His target was not the Emperor, but Cao Zhengchun. He wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate the Deputy Governor of the East Chamber, who was a great threat to his actions.
However, the current situation made Feng Bao feel like he had fallen into a hunter's trap.
When he saw Cao Zhengchun outside the Meridian Gate, he had a feeling that he might have fallen into Cao Zhengchun's trap.
Zhang Juzheng stood tall and straight on the Green Jade Square. He had no other thoughts. His eyes were closed, and he was half-asleep.
He had spent the entire night deploying reinforcements to resolve the flood in Jiangnan. At this moment, he was considering whether the prices of goods in Jiangnan would soar and how to stabilize the prices of goods in Jiangnan…
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
After the announcement, Empress Dowager Li's carriage appeared outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Feng Bao seemed to have found a life-saving straw and was about to run over to kowtow to the Empress Dowager!
A backer!
Empress Dowager Li of Cining Palace was Feng Bao's greatest backer!
Clang!
The Embroidered Spring Saber was unsheathed!
The imperial guards blocked Feng Bao's path.
"His Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to leave the Palace of Heavenly Purity without His Majesty's order.”
Feng Bao shuddered!
The Empress Dowager had arrived.
Why were these guards so daring?
They actually dared to pull out their embroidered spring sabers in front of the Empress Dowager. Did they not put the Empress Dowager in their eyes?
Feng Bao didn't know that when they were in Cining Palace, these guards had also said bluntly to the Empress Dowager,""We are the emperor's personal guards, not the empress dowager's personal guards!”
After the phoenix carriage landed, Empress Dowager Li, who was dressed in her best attire, got down from it.
"Where is His Majesty?"
"In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, reading the memorials!”
When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she strode into the Palace of Heavenly Purity…
The imperial guard's axe fell and blocked Empress Dowager Li's path...
"His Majesty has issued an edict to ask the Empress Dowager to wait outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity!”
Boom!
Feng Bao felt as if he had fallen into an abyss!
The Empress Dowager was stopped?
These guards actually let the Empress Dowager wait outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity!
