Unlike the ones performed in TV series, the Ming Dynasty has not built a special bedroom for the empress dowager until today. In the early days, the empress dowager lived in Renshou Palace, and later moved to Qingning Palace for a while, but in the end he returned to Renshou Palace.

In history, this Empress Dowager Zhang was also a very special existence. She and her husband Emperor Xiaozong Hongzhi actually achieved a lifelong life in feudal society, and they were able to achieve enlightenment. The arrogance of the Zhang family was placed in the entire Ming Dynasty.

It is extremely rare among relatives of the outside world.

When Xian Ruxing arrived, Empress Dowager Zhang was sitting on the beauty's back and talking to a thin woman in plain clothes. When she saw Xian Ruxing, she looked up and down a few times, and chuckled, "Are you the legendary Taoist Master Xian? It's true

I feel pity for the ice-skinned and jade-bone, no wonder the new emperor takes him with him wherever he goes."

This is quite rude. Not only does Xian Ruxing describe it as a witch who serves people with sex, but he also curses Zhu Houcan for being lustful.

Logically speaking, as a proud person around the new emperor, he had to pretend to be a little bit. However, the matter of the previous dynasty had already reached the harem. After learning that Zhu Houcong was unwilling to recognize Xiaozong as the emperor, Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry that she fell twice.

A cup.

Not recognizing his husband means that he is not a serious empress dowager! Her younger brothers are not a serious uncle! For Zhang, who regards his honor as more important than anything else, it is undoubtedly a poking her lung tube.

Her father Zhang Luan was just a scholar and didn't like to study very much. Although he had been the mother of the country for so many years, he didn't have much knowledge. In addition, he had been in a high position for a long time and had no words to say whatever he thought.

Xian Ruxing naturally would not care about him, so he just gave a slight tribute and smiled without saying a word.

Zhang originally wanted to wait for her to contradict her before punishing her with the majesty of the queen mother. Of course, she said that the punishment was just a gesture, mainly to help her to control the other party with kindness and power. As a result, Xian Ruxing was completely unstimulated, and she didn't know what was going on.

It's right.

Just when the situation was stalemate, Zhou Du suddenly came in and reported that Concubine Chen had come.

Zhang's expression changed slightly. If there was really someone in the harem who could make her feel a little afraid, then this one would be the only one left.

Concubine Chen Shao is the concubine of Emperor Chenghua and Zhu Houcong's grandmother. The old lady gave birth to three sons in Chenghua. They all raised them and went to the fiefdom to become a vassal. She also fell in love with Concubine Wan, who was favored.

My sisters almost almost brought King Xing to the throne, and I know that he is a skilled person.

As the concubine, Shaw couldn't leave the capital with his sons, and lived alone in the palace, leaving behind in simplicity, and rarely asked the facts.

Zhu Houcan went to see her as soon as he entered the Forbidden City. The two grandparents and grandchildren hugged their heads and cried. Since then, Zhu Houcan has gone to pay tribute to her every day.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang was the queen mother, Shaw Brothers was still an elder. No one could escape the big hat of filial piety, so he could only get up to welcome him.

Concubine Chen is now very old and needs someone to support her when walking. Even her eyesight is beginning to blur. She can only see a rough look clearly when she sees people. But her voice is still very stable. After greeting Zhang, she turned her head and squinted her eyes.

Xian Ruxing said in a gentle voice: "I always heard from His Majesty that I have heard from you before. Now I see the immortal master coming to the harem, so I hurried to take a look. Don't blame the old woman for disturbing you chatting."

Xian Ruxing hurriedly said that she didn't dare. She knew that Concubine Chen had come to save the scene, and she couldn't help but feel grateful.

Zhang was a little embarrassed. He finally took advantage of the emperor's morning call and called someone over, but he ignored the fact that he still had this person in the harem. Seeing that it was difficult to accomplish something now, he had to open the skylight and speak loudly, and said seriously to Xian Ruxing: "Master Xian, Master Xian

, I know you are deeply trusted by the emperor. Since this is the case, you must also lead Your Majesty to the right path. Now he is stubborn and insists on governing the heirs despite the opposition of the court. If this continues, will the country be in chaos?"

Although Concubine Chen, the serious grandmother, is here, Empress Dowager Zhang can't take care of that much. She said bluntly: "Tao Yang assisted the three dynasties, and the world is full of students. This time, thanks to him in the capital, and now the court is in trouble.

, I should have been busy with political affairs, but I was caught up in the debate on etiquette. As the Queen Mother, I am also very sad!”

Xian Ruxing didn't speak, watched her performance quietly, and waited until she finished speaking, she slowly said: "The Empress Dowager puts the country first, so that she can't force the emperor to change her words. If all the officials really win this dispute, then

There will be grudges between the monarch and his subjects, and how can we be stable when dealing with state affairs in the future?”

"Besides, Queen Mother, do you think that even if Your Majesty verbally calls you a mother, can you change your blood and family affection just by saying it?"

"This..." Empress Dowager Zhang hesitated. This was what she had always worried about. After all, Zhu Houcan's biological mother was still alive.

At this time, Concubine Chen suddenly spoke: "Hey, when talking about Taifu Yang, I remember that when he was conducting a review in the Hanlin Academy, I met the late emperor together. The 19-year-old Jinshi is really talented, but this

It was a blink of an eye. It has been more than forty years. I have grown into an old woman. I don’t know what he is now, but he is in good health.”

Zhang was shocked and instantly realized that yes, Yang Ting and Ke were both in their sixties, and I don’t know how long they could live, but the current emperor is only fifteen this year, so he is worth "betting" than another person.

Now she is the empress dowager. Whether she changes her words or not, she is the empress dowager. Instead of pursuing those false reputations, it is better to sell it to the new emperor to protect her descendants' honor and favor.

The thin woman next to her also spoke up at this time. This person was Emperor Zhengde's first wife, Empress Xia. Because she was not loved by her husband, she had to stay by Zhang every day. This relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was fine.

Seeing that even she said this, Empress Dowager Zhang's mind was completely tilted, but she was a little afraid of Yang Tinghe, and hesitated and said, "After all, Zhang's family is a relative of the foreign affairs, so it is not easy to directly interfere in the government affairs. I am a woman, but I am insulted.

The ancestors, you can’t speak out..." The meaning is very simple, that is, she doesn’t care and they fight.

Xian Ruxing shook his head in his heart, "Doing big things and cherishing one's own life, and seeing small profits and forgetting one's righteousness" is what it means, to reason. If the Zhang family really waved the flag and shouted at this time, according to Zhu Houcan's irresponsible nature of helping his relatives.

, it is likely that they will really be covered in the future.

Even though he complained, he still smiled and said, "This is enough. The Empress Dowager is very wise. I thank the people of the world here."

Zhang nodded reservedly, "Today, I have to worry about Taoist priests. Zhou Du brought the jade Ruyi from the northwest a few days ago. I wish you to be enlightened and enlightened as soon as possible."

"Let's go." Xian Ruxing raised his hand, his face deep, and said to Zhang: "I came to Renshou Palace and saw charcoal burning inside and outside the palace. Although there was incense in the house, I could still smell the fireworks.

It really hinders the phoenix body of the Empress.”

Zhang was slightly stunned, not understanding why the other party suddenly spoke about this.

He curled his lips and took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve. Xian Ruxing said to the female family in the room: "This is perfume, which is to absorb the essence of a hundred flowers. I have obtained it by chance. After using it, it can be preserved for a long time and will never have to endure it again.

The smell of smoke."

Everyone: "Ah?"

Besides, Zhu Houcong came down angrily. He originally wanted to find Xian Ruxing to spit out black mud, but was told that the other party was called by Queen Mother Zhang early, and he was instantly panicked.

He has a bad impression of Zhang's family. Now, because of his recognition of his parents, he even labeled Empress Dowager Zhang as an old witch who colluded with Yang Tinghe. Zhu Houcong has always been a conspiracy theories. At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang looked for her.

What else can a female Taoist priest do?!

He knew that although Xian Ruxing was a cultivator, his physical strength was no different from that of an ordinary woman, and he couldn't even hold a fat baby. If Xian Ruxing would rather die than surrender for himself, Zhang would force her to confess to her words and deeds...

Thinking of this, the boy felt dizzy and his cold sweat suddenly came down. He hurriedly ordered someone to prepare to go to Renshou Palace, and he kept urging him on the way.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

After finally arrived, I pushed away the eunuch who was preparing to pass the news and ran straight in!

However, as soon as I reached the door panting, I heard a burst of laughter coming from the inner room.

His "weak and self-care" Xian Master Xian was holding Empress Dowager Zhang's hand and complimented enthusiastically: "Empress, you have dry skin, you have taken it so well, without any fine lines. Now it's time for spring to strengthen your hydration.

…”

Zhu Houcan: "..."

...

In the end, Xian Ruxing walked with Zhu Houcong. The two of them sent Concubine Chen back to the bedroom first. On the way, Zhu Houcong was depressed. After a long time, he spoke: "How can you get along with her so well?"

"Ah?" Xian Ruxing was so confused that he was talking about it. He just realized his expression when he looked at the other person's expression. He sighed in his heart. After all, he said roughly what happened today and explained patiently: "Your Majesty, just like that

'The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit', the so-called court affairs are nothing. Although all officials are standing opposite you now, there is nothing that cannot be discussed if you can talk about."

Zhu Houqing was thinking, and Xian Ruxing encouraged him today. Since Empress Dowager Zhang could persuade him, could others be persuaded, so the next day, the chief assistant Yang Tinghe was invited to the Qianqing Palace.

The boy put away his hedgehog-like appearance before and chatted with Yang Tinghe very intimately. Without speaking first, the scheming Shoufu Yang naturally would not mention it. So the two of them had a rare first conversation.

It has to be said that Yang Tinghe, a young genius who was a juren at the age of twelve, then went ups and downs in the officialdom for decades. Whether it was poetry or the court, he could read almost all the knowledge at will, and even some folk customs in Huguang could be vividly explained.

Zhu Houcong was born in Anlu for fifteen years, and the biggest official he had ever seen was the governor of Huguang, the governor of Huguang. Although he was also a second-rank official, he was no different from a mediocre person than Yang Tinghe.

After being impacted by knowledge, Zhu Houcong seemed more and more peaceful. He looked at Yang Tinghe's eyes and said sincerely: "Tao Fu, my parents only have my son. They have worked hard to raise me for more than ten years. Now I really need a name.

You have a high position and great power, and all the important affairs of the court depend on you. I only have this wish, and I will ask the Grand Tutor to fulfill it."

The emperor's attitude was so low that even if Yang Tinghe was in high school, he could not help but express his feelings. So he quickly bent down and saluted with respect: "Long live, you recognize Xiaozong as the emperor's sacred, King Xingxian is already the birth father of the emperor and the uncle of the saint.

, It is so precious that there is no title? As an official of the Ming Dynasty, the old minister should put the national system first. How can he control the etiquette and law of his ancestors based on his own will? I hope Your Majesty will be careful in his words."

"You!" Seeing this, Zhu Houguan was angry again, "Okay, since you can't control it, then I will write the documents to the cabinet now, I will decide!"

"If Your Majesty insists on doing this, the cabinet can also be detained without issuing it." Yang Tinghe's tone was faint. According to the Ming Dynasty, if the cabinet chief minister felt that the emperor's will was wrong, he could implement the right of "refutation", which means that he is not yet Yang Tinghe's

Agree, Zhu Houcan's words can't even leave the Forbidden City!

The boy was so angry that he trembled all over, but before he broke out, the old man opposite gave him another slap.

Yang Tinghe stood up, his behavior was polite but extremely tough, "If you want to do this, you must do it, so the old minister had to ask for retirement."

This statement is like a basin of cold water, pouring Zhu Houcan into a mess.

In fact, the reason why Yang Tinghe was so arrogant was precisely because of this most important point - now the Ming Dynasty cannot do without him.

The four elders of the cabinet, Liang Chu, were almost in a state of scrambling to die, with two abilities left. Jiajing was fifteen years old and had just as many days ascended the throne. If Yang Tinghe gave up now and refused to do so, the whole country would be shut down instantly, what would happen at that time?

, but it's not something that people can control.

Zhu Houcan stared at the other party, his chest was up and down, and for a long time, he squeezed out words from his teeth, "Since the Grand Tutor said that, let's put this matter aside."

Yang Tinghe never frowned from beginning to end, and forced the emperor back in a few words, and then left slowly, showing his true nature as a powerful minister.

Zhu Houguan, who suffered a defeat, was like a castrated little rooster. When Xian Ruxing saw him, he could not even connect his young man who was still energetic two days ago.

The other party deliberately turned his head away from a very strange angle. Xian Ruxing was careful and noticed that he was red around his eyes. He knew that he had just cried, but he pretended not to see it with a very wink. He felt a little uncomfortable.

OK, a group of old guys made the child cry, but the reason was that they didn't make people recognize their parents. Xian Ruxing didn't understand what was going to be right to argue, but he always felt that it was a bit too bullying.

She has been busy making money with perfume for a while, because she knew that Emperor Jiajing won a great victory in history, so she didn't get involved. Now she realized that the struggle was so difficult.

After silenced and finished supper with the boy, hesitated for a moment, he still asked, "What are you going to do now?"

"I don't know how long it will take." Zhu Houcong had a gloomy face, "Those old and stubborn people who are old and stubborn are full of ancestralization. I will teach them a lesson sooner or later!"
