Ciqing Palace.
Empress Dowager Chen Xiao 'er personally cooked a sumptuous meal.
According to the rules of the palace, the concubines were not allowed to cook, but this rule could not be applied to the empress dowager.
Chen Xiao 'er liked to cook delicious food, mainly because Zhu Yijun liked it.
Empress Dowager Li was a little uneasy in Cining Palace.
Cao Zhengchun took up his post and was promoted to the supervisor of the East Chamber and the eunuch of the ceremony supervisor.
They had already gone to Cining Palace to replace all the eunuchs and serving girls. Empress Dowager Li's trusted aides had all been expelled from the palace, and the eunuchs and serving girls had been rearranged.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Cao Zhengchun was cunning and cunning, but his greatest advantage was his loyalty. Cao Zhengchun was one of the most powerful eunuchs under the background of the world's number one. The only person he could honor was the Emperor.
In the Ciqing Palace, after Chen Xiao 'er cleaned up the dishes, a eunuch shouted loudly,""His Majesty has arrived!"
Empress Dowager Li felt a little nervous. Everything that happened today was because of her. If it wasn't for her, Feng Bao wouldn't have dared to be so bold.
After Zhu Yijun entered Ciqing Palace, he greeted the Empress Dowager and said,""Your son greets mother."
Zhu Yijun chose to ignore Empress Dowager Li. If the Empress Dowager did not plead today, he would definitely depose the Empress Dowager. Moreover, Empress Dowager Li's position as Empress Dowager was also because he became the Emperor. She could only call herself Empress Dowager!
If it wasn't for him becoming the Emperor, how could Empress Dowager Li become the Empress Dowager and the head of the palace because of her son?
Otherwise, she would only be the emperor's concubine!
"Cao Zhengchun has already arranged a new chief eunuch for you. Your trusted aide, Wang Guozhong, has been beheaded!”
After Zhu Yijun sat down, he scratched his head and looked at Empress Dowager Li.
After Zhu Yijun finished speaking, Chen Xiao 'er saw that Zhu Yijun was still angry with Empress Dowager Li. She stood up and said,""Sister, go to the Palace of Compassion and make the necessary arrangements. I'll take care of Jun 'er…"
Li Cai 'er also knew that the Emperor would not forgive her for a while. After all, everything had happened because of her.
" Mother, she doesn't need to go to Cining Palace to make arrangements. I've already asked Cao Zhengchun to clean up Xixiang Garden. From now on, she will live in Xixiang Garden. Also, don't call yourself the Empress Dowager of Xixiang Palace in the future…"
Hiss…
Li Cai 'er was stunned.
Xixiang Court was cleaned up?
Don't call yourself the Empress Dowager of the West Palace?
Not only had Jun 'er been stripped of her title as Empress Dowager, but she had also been stripped of her authority.
Zhu Yijun would not forgive Li Cai 'er so easily because she was not provoking him. She was provoking the imperial power. She wanted to be above the imperial power. Zhu Yijun was already magnanimous enough not to abolish the Empress Dowager's position and demote her to Concubine Li.
From now on, the Empress Dowager was the only one in the harem who could issue the Empress Dowager's orders.
Li Cai 'er did not have the authority to issue the Empress Dowager's decree.
The scene of Wang Guozhong showing off in Yangxin Palace Hall with Li Cai 'er's Empress Dowager's decree in the early morning still appeared in front of Zhu Yijun.
It was still vivid in his mind!
If Li Cai 'er was given the power of the Empress Dowager's decree, she might be placed above the imperial power again.
Li Cai 'er left Ciqing Palace, feeling uneasy.
……
In Ciqing Palace, the Empress Dowager pulled Zhu Yijun to sit down and comforted him,"Your mother is also afraid that you will go astray…"
"Mother, things are not like this. She just wants to show off to others that she can suppress the Emperor. She is listening to politics from behind the curtain. As long as Zhen takes a step back, it will be eternal damnation!”
Zhu Yijun was very clear in his heart.
If he backed down this time, he would have to live under the pressure of the Empress Dowager and the cabinet for the next ten years.
The empress dowager and the cabinet would not choose to give in just because the emperor was humble. They would suppress the imperial power even more and ride on the emperor's head, tyrannizing!
Zhu Yijun was having his meal in Cining Palace. The secret agent of the West Factory entered the palace and Zhu Yijun was having his meal. The secret agent of the West Factory came to Zhu Yijun's side and handed him a secret letter. Zhu Yijun opened the secret letter and glanced at it before putting it away quietly.
The West Chamber secret agent retreated, Zhu Yijun and Chen Xiao 'er ate.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, all the cabinet members had arrived. There were a total of eight cabinet members. In addition to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, there were six cabinet scholars. Their main task was to review the memorials and share the pressure with the Emperor.
While the six scholars were reading the memorial, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong were sitting opposite each other. The two of them were discussing specific matters regarding the rescue of Shanhaiguan.
Although he had been scolded by the Emperor, he could not delay the country's politics.
The six cabinet scholars who were reading the memorial were surprised.
They were reading memorials, drinking tea, and ordering the bailiffs in the cabinet office. Why did all the memorials suddenly go into the Palace of Heavenly Purity? The bailiffs were gone, and they did not dare to drink tea. They were reading memorials in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, trembling with fear.
They still didn't know that the head eunuch, Feng Bao, had been cut into pieces by the emperor.
……
Empress Dowager Li had lost her status as Empress Dowager of the West Palace. She didn't even have the right to live in Cining Palace. Xixiang Court was the courtyard where Li Cai 'er used to live. There was one main room, two auxiliary rooms, and a courtyard.
How could it compare to the grandeur of the Cining Palace?
The Cining Palace was one of the three great halls in the Forbidden City. Its aura and grandeur could not be compared to Xixiang Garden.
Empress Dowager Li stood in the courtyard of Xixiang Garden, feeling lost. For a moment, it was as if a lifetime had passed.
In the morning, she was still the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, the master of Ci Ning Palace.
When the setting sun shone down, she had already lost her greatest honor guard.
She finally understood that even if she was the empress dowager, she could not compete with the imperial power!
……
In Ciqing Palace, Zhu Yijun was taken care of by Chen Xiao 'er and ate a lot of food. Chen Xiao' er respected Zhu Yijun as the Emperor and also took care of Zhu Yijun as a child. The Empress Dowager did not mention anything about what happened today.
Things have come to this point, there is nothing to change.
In the evening, Zhu Yijun returned to Yangxin Hall to rest. Gao Gong reported to Zhu Yijun that he had finished reading all the memorials and stored them in Qianqing Palace for the emperor to review.
Zhu Yijun let the cabinet members leave the palace to rest. When Zhang Juzheng left the Forbidden City, he let out a long sigh. Under the stars, he once again felt that accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger.
The last emperor who had given him such great pressure was the Jiajing Emperor!
Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng returned to the cabinet together. The two did not rest. They gathered the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue overnight to discuss how the Tartars would mobilize their troops and who to send to reinforce Li Chengliang.
……
In Yangxin Palace Hall, Zhu Yijun opened the secret book of West Hall, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The scholar-bureaucrats in Jiangnan were giving advice in brothels.
He actually spoke arrogantly and treated the emperor as a plaything!
Attacking Yu Dayou was just to make a name for himself.
This Inspector General Li Liangchen of the Eight Constabularies was extremely audacious!
