Wei Zhongxian sneered in his heart.

This is a demonstration to myself.

What do you think?

What do you think?

However, he still pretended to be respectful on the surface and said, "Empress, I have indeed been indifferent to my care for Your Majesty over the years, and have been criticized. If the Empress thinks that I am indeed guilty, I might as well ask the Judicial Department to investigate."

Empress Zhang smiled and said, "No, the Ai family did not have this intention. The Ai family naturally knew that Wei's partner was loyal and sometimes he would offend people when he was doing things for His Majesty. Therefore, the Ai family would take this memorial to you first. At that time, I will keep this memorial and not post it."

Queen Zhang chose to take a step back very wisely.

Wei Zhongxian felt it was not easy, so he just nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding."

Queen Zhang said: "Yes, there is another thing, about the Imperial Horse Supervision..."

When Wei Zhongxian heard about the Imperial Horse Prison, he immediately felt a little sad. He looked at Empress Zhang: "Please give me advice."

Queen Zhang said: "There is an eunuch named Liu Rong in the Imperial Horse Prison, right? The Ai family heard that he was diligent in doing things..."

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "If the Empress pays attention, then I will definitely take care of you in the future."

After saying that, he said respectfully to Queen Zhang.

However, when he came out of this side hall, Wei Zhongxian's face had changed.

If you don’t say a Wuxi tribute student dares to sue yourself, just Donglin Academy originated from Wuxi.

It is obvious that the Donglin Party, who had been dormant for a long time, finally could not bear the loneliness.

After suffering heavy damage, they have been dormant and are waiting for this opportunity.

When Empress Zhang got this memorial, it means that Empress Zhang's people have begun to appear within the Silijian.

In addition, there is also the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison mentioned by Queen Zhang. He knew that Liu Rong was not low in the Imperial Horse Prison. Unexpectedly, he even clinged to Queen Zhang.

Actually...this is understandable.

At this time, especially when Ke Shi was expelled from the palace, the general situation was actually clear, and Empress Dowager Zhang would definitely become Empress Dowager Li of the Wanli Dynasty in the future.

If Empress Dowager Zhang becomes the lord of the harem, she can even decide the candidates for the future eunuchs and cabinet ministers like Empress Dowager Li.

This is just like Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, the literati supervisor of the Wanli Dynasty, who were trusted by Empress Dowager Li, which was the only one who could have the power for a while.

There are still external dynasties in the inner court. I don’t know how many people want to be Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. At this critical moment, it is the best time to surrender to Empress Dowager Zhang and hope for a great throne in the future.

Wei Zhongxian even thought that when the Donglin Party controlled the court, the Donglin Party was everywhere in the court and the people, the Donglin Party almost suppressed the others so much that it was breathless.

His appearance gave many people the opportunity, so countless people defected to their disciples and eventually brought down the Donglin Party together. These people who defected to their disciples also gained high positions.

Thinking about how energetic he was at the beginning.

But now... Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt that he might be the Donglin Party that once controlled the government. Now, countless people have no hope of seniority, hoping to use Empress Dowager Zhang to surrender to Empress Dowager Zhang's disciples and give him a fatal blow.

Wei Zhongxian closed his eyes and sighed. These people who sold themselves to Empress Dowager Zhang were afraid that there were still many of their confidants.

Isn’t it human instinct to change to the wind?

The sky was already dim, and countless thoughts arose in Wei Zhongxian's mind. He walked aimlessly in the palace. The eunuchs and palace maids who passed by saw that they were still cautious and saluted him.

But Wei Zhongxian no longer had the arrogant mentality he had at the beginning. When he looked at these respectful people, he couldn't help but wonder whether there were many of these people... who had already devoted themselves to Empress Dowager Zhang's disciples.

And...Who is the tribute student in Wuxi...behind him?

It involves the Donglin Party... Wei Zhongxian actually knew that he might not be able to land safely.

If it were just pure Queen Mother Zhang, perhaps the kindness of Queen Mother Zhang would make herself live.

After all, I was an old person around Emperor Daxing, and I had to look better after all.

But once the Donglin Party has started its activities and may have even been linked with Empress Dowager Zhang, then she will definitely die without a place to bury her. This is definitely not Wei Zhongxian's discouragement.

But he knew that the Donglin Party had never shown mercy when it came to dealing with its political enemies.

"Nine thousand years old..." A eunuch slowly stepped forward.

Wei Zhongxian looked up and looked at the person who came.

He vaguely remembered this eunuch.

"Empress Xiao Zhang invites you to go."

Xiao Zhang...

In the palace, there was Empress Dowager Zhang and a Empress Dowager Zhang, so people used to call Empress Dowager Zhang Xiao Zhang.

Wei Zhongxian nodded: "I understand."

When he arrived at the bedroom, he saw Concubine Zhang sitting firmly, as if he had been waiting for him to come.

Wei Zhongxian performed the ceremony.

Concubine Zhang said: "Parent Wei, I am not secretly talking, I only ask you one thing."

Wei Zhongxian said: "I'll ask the Empress to show me."

Concubine Zhang had a serious expression: "Who was attacked by Your Majesty and the brother of the Ai family, and how did he die?"

As soon as this said, Wei Zhongxian suddenly looked up, and a light appeared in his eyes.

In fact, the reason why Wei Zhongxian did not seek out Concubine Zhang was not because Concubine Zhang might not be so simple as collaborating with him.

But he gradually began to find out that the identity of Concubine Zhang was not simple. She was not a member of the Zhang family, but the daughter of the criminal, and the criminal... was convicted of being criticized for criticizing herself.

Wei Zhongxian naturally knew that there was a deep hatred between him and Concubine Zhang.

But now, Concubine Zhang is straight to the point, saying how did His Majesty and the Duke of Liao die?

As soon as he asked, Wei Zhongxian suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. He hurriedly said in fear and fear: "Empress, the Jinyiwei is secretly investigating."

"No clues?"

"There are some clues, but they're just strange."

Concubine Zhang then said, "Do you know the life experience of the Ai family?"

Wei Zhongxian bowed his head in shame: "I know a little about it."

"It's true that he is Wei's companion." Concubine Zhang said: "But..."

She stood up and said, "But today the Ai family doesn't care about these things. What the Ai family wants to tell you is that the husband and brothers of the Ai family died inexplicably. Although real men avenge all the people, I am just a weak woman and now I have no support in the palace. But how can I not avenge this? Wei Fan wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, no matter who it is..."

Concubine Zhang stared at Wei Zhongxian, and under her eyebrows, she had a murderous intention: "You must also pay for your blood debt."

Wei Zhongxian said: "I obey the order."

Wei Zhongxian's solitude heart is now suddenly alive.

He looked at the delicate Concubine Zhang, and never expected that there was a simplicity in this woman. Wei Zhongxian immediately said: "Although I have no conclusive evidence, the place where Your Majesty was attacked is really strange. This should be within my Ningjin defense line, so why are there Jiannu people present? Besides, no one knows the strength of the Donglin Army, so how can it be easily shaken. Therefore, I have always suspected that this may be related to the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but... if this matter is not based on real evidence..."

Concubine Zhang said: "Guanning Iron Cavalry, do you dare to be so bold?"

Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt vigor and said, "But what if... someone in the capital will instruct them?"

"The capital?" Zhang Taifei frowned: "You might as well make it clear. The Ai family is just a woman and can't listen to your words covered in fog."

Wei Zhongxian decided to leave no reservation at this time: "In the capital, there are also many people who hope that His Majesty and the Duke of Liao will die outside the pass."

"So who do you think it is?"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment. Even though he felt that he had already made it clear, he did not expect that Concubine Zhang asked so directly.

However, Concubine Zhang's attitude of breaking the casserole to the end made Wei Zhongxian take a break and slowly, the nine thousand years old began to come back.

Wei Zhongxian sneered: "The Empress may already have the answer in her heart."

"Empress Zhang?" Concubine Zhang said word by word: "Only if she makes the decision in the future can she not pursue these arrogant soldiers and generals of the Guanning Army."

Wei Zhongxian shook his head: "Although Empress Dowager Zhang may be used, I think Empress Dowager Zhang may be just a pawn!"

Concubine Zhang said in surprise: "Who else can control the Queen Mother?"

"I will say it straight to the Queen Mother of the Ming Dynasty. I have unwritten rules in the Ming Dynasty. After I was established, I was often not a daughter of a high-ranking family. This is to prevent the breeding of relatives from the outside. The same is true for Queen Mother Zhang. Most of her relatives are from ordinary people and have no great knowledge. Although she is a relative of the outside, I think it is really hard to agree with such a big thing."

Wei Zhongxian paused: "But... although not the presidency of Empress Dowager Zhang, if it is said... Empress Dowager Zhang and the Zhang family were not completely used, I would not believe it. It is precisely because Empress Dowager Zhang and the Zhang family are indifferent that they are most likely to be used. As far as I know, Empress Dowager Zhang likes to study, and has always had great sympathy for the scholars of Donglin Academy. And the remnants of the Donglin Party have always been secretly affecting the Zhang family. In fact... For some people, they only need a little guidance to achieve great things."

"A little guidance..." Concubine Zhang murmured to herself.
