After Shi Heng and the other meritorious officials were captured.
In the entire celebration banquet, the number of third and fourth generations of Yongle Xun left behind could be counted on one hand.
Moreover, they were all trembling in fear and did not dare to say anything else.
All of the civil and military officials understood that if these silkpants and nobles continued to be stubborn.
Not to mention the glory and wealth in this life, he might not even be able to protect his life.
Times had changed.
It was no longer Emperor Yongle, but Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong.
Yongle's three and four generations of meritorious service were no longer as glorious and glorious as before.
After dealing with Shi Heng, the banquet once again became noisy.
One had to know that most of the civil officials were already dissatisfied with Yongle Xun's third and fourth generations.
They were still very happy that the old noble forces had been eliminated.
The only thing that worried them was the rise of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the new nobles.
Especially the Jinyiwei, who made people tremble in fear.
Its reappearance undoubtedly sent chills down the backs of the civil and military officials.
Zhu Qiyu seemed to have seen through their worries and worries.
There was no room for discussion on rebuilding the Brocade Guard.
He would never compromise.
This was his sharp knife, a sharp blade.
It was a secret weapon to intimidate the civil and military officials.
With the existence of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, something like the "Gate Seizing Rebellion" would never happen.
Of course, he had to appease the civil and military officials and not let them live in fear every day.
"Zhen once talked to Yu Taibao about the Jinyiwei.”
"You are my loyal subjects, and so are the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
"Of course, I promise you that my Jinyiwei will never commit crimes against you.”
"I won't go beyond the 'Great Ming Law'. For major cases, the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Imperial Censorate could jointly interrogate the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
His words undoubtedly made the civil and military officials heave a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Nianci Palace.
Empress Dowager Wu and the families of the civil and military officials were enjoying desserts, drinking tea, and chatting.
She pulled the gentle and virtuous beautiful girl, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
He looked very satisfied.
"How old is Yingying this year?"
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this official's daughter is sixteen and will soon be seventeen.”
"Sigh, this damned Wala. If they hadn't provoked us, the Emperor would have married you when he was King Hun.”
"Fortunately, there's still time this year. Later, aijia will find Grand Tutor Feng to discuss this matter and set a date.”
Empress Dowager Wu said with a smile.
The beautiful girl lowered her head and blushed, not daring to speak.
The other noble ladies were praising the eldest daughter of the Feng family. She was virtuous, intelligent, and well-educated.
The compliments of the noble ladies made Empress Dowager Wu very happy.
everyone carries a flowery palanquin.
The stunning beauty in front of him who looked like she had walked out of a painting would soon become the mother of the world.
She was the mother of a country, who wouldn't go up and flatter her?
Even Feng Yingying's elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were surrounded by many noble ladies who fawned over them.
Empress Dowager Wu held Feng Yingying's hand and laughed softly.
"After you enter the palace, this widow will not be too busy. The power of the six palaces will still be handed over to you.”
Empress Dowager Wu seemed to want to demonstrate it to her.
She stood up with a smile and walked to a trembling middle-aged woman.
He smiled and comforted the middle-aged woman,"Lingzhi, don't be so reserved. We're all family." Xiang 'er followed the emperor and made great contributions.”
"I even earned an imperial mandate for you. In the future, you should also enjoy a good life as a mother.”
"It's a pity that this widow's younger cousin died early, otherwise, he would definitely be very happy.”
When Empress Dowager Wu said this, she seemed to really think of her poor cousin.
She subconsciously wiped her tears.
The middle-aged woman thought of the hardships she had gone through all these years, and tears immediately fell like rain.
"Today is supposed to be a day of celebration.”
Empress Dowager Wu took the middle-aged woman's hand and asked all sorts of questions, looking very concerned.
"Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager. His Majesty has bestowed us with a large courtyard today. Xiang 'er and Second Uncle have also allocated a group of maids and servants to serve us.”
"Xiang 'er and I really don't know how to thank you.”
Empress Dowager Wu smiled with satisfaction." We're all family, so don't say such things."”
"Xiang 'er is the Emperor's younger cousin. With his talent, how could the Emperor mistreat him?”
"This widow will give you a reassurance. As long as our Xiang 'er is loyal to the country, what he has, our Wu family will definitely have it.”
Her words made the middle-aged woman shed tears of gratitude again.
After that, Empress Dowager Wu brought Feng Yingying along to chat with the other noble ladies.
Which noble lady had a daughter who was about to marry, which son was about to get married, which family had a grandson, and so on.
Empress Dowager Wu knew it like the back of her hand.
After a round of discussion, joy and respect appeared on the faces of every noblewoman.
They all felt that they were valued by the Empress Dowager.
Being valued by the Empress Dowager, didn't that mean that her own man was valued by the Emperor?
Feng Yingying was dumbfounded when she saw this.
She realized that this Empress Dowager Wu was really too powerful.
Just one round was enough to make many noblewomen present shed tears of gratitude and cheer them up.
Empress Dowager Wu pulled Feng Yingying back to her seat and continued to laugh softly.
"You will be in charge of these social events after you enter the palace. These women were the relatives of the emperor's important ministers.”
"It's hard to say for men. They always have to go through us to do things that are difficult to do.”
"Of course, before the banquet, we must be prepared and know each and every one of them like the back of our hands.”
Feng Yingying was a girl with a pure heart, so she understood what he meant.
"The Empress Dowager is really amazing to remember these people in such a short time. My daughter's talent is dull, I'm afraid she's not even one ten-thousandth of the Empress Dowager.”
Empress Dowager Wu was even more satisfied when she saw Feng Yingying's innocent and docile appearance.
He patted her hand and continued to speak in a low voice.
"Of course, if the Emperor wants to warn any of his officials, you will deliberately ignore his family and ensure that her husband will go to the Emperor to apologize in fear the next day.”
…………
The banquet only ended late at night.
On the way back, whether it was the civil and military officials or their families, they all brought back generous rewards.
For example, Grand Tutor Feng's family.
The rewards they received were enough to fill a carriage.
There were silk and satin, pearls and jade jewelry, and many rare foreign tributes.
Feng Yingying's two sisters-in-law were beaming with joy.
"Yingying, the Empress Dowager treats you so well. She talked to you all night.”
"That's right. It seems that in the future, when you enter the palace, you don't have to worry about meeting an evil granny.”
Feng Yingying listened to her two sisters-in-law's words and smiled without saying anything.
However, this Empress Dowager Wu was really powerful.
No wonder she could become the empress dowager from a mere palace maid.
