"I'm going to visit the disease, so why bother to wear it so complicated?"

In the early morning, in the bedroom, Emperor Wanli stood before the big bronze mirror again and again, and several palace maids were busy around him. Concubine Zheng chuckled and said, "It is also a state affairs for the emperor to go to Mr. Zhang's house. If he does not follow the etiquette, he may be the people outside who are going to speak again."

"I didn't see any ability in governing the country and protecting the people. When I talk about the rules, I was excited."

Emperor Wanli said disdainfully, but he didn't complain anymore. While packing his clothes there, he saw the eunuch leader beside Concubine Zheng whispering something to Zhao Jinliang.

"What are you two muttering? Can you say anything in front of me?"

Emperor Wanli shouted angrily. Zhao Jinliang was his personal eunuch. Concubine Zheng's eunuch had a good impression of loving the house and the wu. He had no anger at this shout, and he was just standing there bored asking.

Hearing his question, Concubine Zheng also betted, and the eunuch leader quickly took a few steps back and knelt on the ground. Zhao Jinliang bowed and replied, "Long live, I forgive my crime. Just now, Jiashanmen said that there were two leaks in the side hall here. I asked me to urge him to repair the palace prison. It was about to rain."

"Raising? How long has this been delayed by the Palace Supervisor?"

Emperor Wanli was stunned, then his face changed and asked coldly. Concubine Zheng looked at the eunuch kneeling outside with a angrily look, and said with a smile: "I heard from my servants that there is no delay in the Zhidianguan. Xiao Jia is impatient, so Xiaoliang urges me."

Emperor Wanli snorted coldly and said, "These servants only have the Empress Dowager and Feng Daban in their eyes. When will I take my people and the people around me seriously? Xiaoliang waits for you to go to the palace supervisor and let Lao Li, who is in charge of the seal, do it today!"

The Jiashan Gate kneeling outside started to tremble. Emperor Wanli turned to Concubine Zheng. But if he really asked this, he would probably have offended the Empress Dowager and several eunuchs. The charges he deliberately allocated might be detained. Even Concubine Zheng would blame him. The people mentioned next may not matter, and he might be crushed to pieces.

Zhao Jinliang, who was standing in front of him, received the order first, paused there, and reported: "Long lively, there were two damaged places in Zhang Cheng's residence yesterday. I went to Zhidianguan to ask someone to repair it. There were people busy in the palace and it would take several days to line up... and said that there were many places to be renovated in Cining Palace and Xiyuan."

Just someone else, Zhao Jinliang went over to speak, and he was the second-ranked official in the inner prison. How dare the palace supervisor be negligent, but he still couldn't go immediately. It seemed that he was really busy.

Needless to say, the residence of the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace is the most common place for Emperor Wanli and Concubine Zheng to visit. The Zhidianjian naturally had to rank these two places at the forefront.

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli was not angry anymore. He just shook his sleeves and said, "This is the fault of the rules. There are so many houses in the palace, and there are rules everywhere. They are all left by our ancestors. We cannot move around. But for so many years, there are many big and small problems, so we can only repair them like this. Xiaoliang, go and say hello to the Zhidian Superintendent, and we should arrange it as soon as possible."

Everyone knows that Emperor Wanli has calmed down, Concubine Zheng smiled and thanked him, and Zhao Jinliang also received the order. Concubine Zheng's eunuchs and palace maids in the palace looked at Zhao Jinliang with more friendly eyes than usual.

"I welcome Your Majesty, long live my emperor!!"

The main gate of the mansion of the Grand Tutor, the Prince Taishi, the Grand Secretary of the Zhongji Palace, and the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng was opened. A group of children of the Zhang family were wearing official uniforms and kneeling to welcome Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli walked out of the sedan chair, glanced at it, and said in a warm voice: "Everyone is up. I am here to visit you this time. You don't have to spend such a big time Zhou Zhang, which would be bad for disturbing Mr. Zhang!"

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone quickly stood up. According to the rules of etiquette, Zhang Juzheng's eldest son Zhang Jingxiu hurriedly followed. As the eldest son, Zhang Jingxiu was born in a Jinshi and is now the head of the Ministry of Rites. He is only a sixth-rank official. The eldest son of the current dynasty was a sixth-rank official, which is indeed a little lower.

In the Jiajing period, Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, and later Xu Du, the son of Xu Jie, who was at the age of Zhang Jingxiu, had already taken the position of Minister of Works.

If Zhang Juzheng avoids suspicion, Zhang Jianxiu, the fourth son of the Zhang family, Zhang Jingxiu, now has the title of commander of the Jinyiwei, and is also a top-notch wealthy person.

Zhang Juzheng was in power in the court and the people, but he didn't say much about the word "integrity". Who in the world knew that you gave enough money to You Qi and had nothing to do. However, Zhang Juzheng was extremely strict with Zhang Jingxiu, requiring Zhang Jingxiu to be simple and honest, and not to be involved in buying and selling officials, or to be involved in the government and the country, Zhang Jingxiu's reputation was excellent.

The most important thing in the Ming Dynasty was to be a Jinshi. If you passed the Jinshi, you would have the foundation for becoming a prosperous person. However, after you passed the Jinshi, you would have various differences. Being an official in the Ministry of Rites is the most precious shortcut.

Everyone can understand all the arrangements. Zhang Ge Lao had high expectations for his Genzi. He paved the way for him from the beginning. He was in the wild and raised hope. Xiu You had a Qing Chi official position. If you continue like this, you can take a palm at the age of 40, and even enter the cabinet.

It is indeed rare for father and son to be in the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty. But judging from Zhang Juzheng's current power and status, who can say that it is impossible?

"How is Zhang Xianniu's health?"

Emperor Wanli asked when he stepped into the gate. Zhang Jingxiu looked quite haggard, his eyes were red and bloody. When he heard Emperor Wanli's inquiry, he hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, my father was unconscious for half an hour this morning. The two imperial doctors dared not take medicine. He said that using the medicines such as ginseng and other great tonics at this time was heat and toxins. It was still the famous doctor Jiang Zigang of Kaifeng who used snow lotus and plums to boil medicine..."

The emperor got out of the sedan chair in front of the gate and walked into the mansion. This was a great favor for a minister. Zhang Jingxiu's nagging answer was a bit rude, which clearly pointed out that the imperial physician sent by the palace was not capable enough.

Zhang Jingxiu stopped halfway through the speech, but not because he knew what he said was wrong, but because Emperor Wanli was stunned.

As he spoke, the crowd had already walked into the atrium. When Emperor Wanli stopped, the people behind him also stopped, and they were all a little panicked.

The emperor stopped his throne and did not leave. What was he doing? Zhang Cheng glanced forward sideways, but Emperor Wanli looked around in a daze. His eyes stopped on the buildings around the atrium, and then stopped on the maid and maid kneeling in the corner not far away. The atrium is ordinary, but Emperor Wanli is attracted by something. Look here and there.

"Long live, long live..."

Zhang Cheng quickly shouted a few words, Emperor Wanli shook his head, and then he realized, "Oh" and continued to walk forward.

I don’t know if he listened to Zhang Jingxiu’s words about his illness just now, but Emperor Wanli did not ask any questions on the road ahead.

When they arrived at Zhang Juzheng's inner house, the female family members dispersed, but several people sent by the Imperial Hospital knelt at the door to greet him. Emperor Wanli asked, "How is Mr. Zhang's health?"

Hearing Emperor Wanli’s question, the imperial physicians exchanged glances with each other, and each showed helpless expressions. Yu Xiuhai, the head of the Imperial Hospital, gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I am incompetent, the heat poison invades for a long time, and now it spreads to all the limbs and veins..."

The imperial physician said this and Zhang Jingxiu, who was standing beside the emperor, shook his body a few times. If someone hadn't helped him, he would have fainted on the ground.

When Emperor Wanli heard this, he froze and his face darkened. The inner courtyard was quiet and terrible, but the female family's depressed cry came from the wing room next to him.

After a long time, Emperor Wanli sighed, shook his head without saying anything, and was about to walk into the room. Zhang Cheng beside him hurriedly asked: "Yu Xiuhai, will Mr. Zhang's disease be transmitted to others?"

The Imperial Hospital was kowtowing and answering: "Old Zhang's illness is internal disease. If others cannot be infected, the people who serve in the Zhang Mansion will be fine these few decades."

After he finished speaking, Emperor Wanli had already walked into the house.

The stern teacher who taught scriptures in Prince Yu's Mansion, Mr. Zhang, who was serious in the palace, and Mr. Zhang, who dominated everything in the court, was now just a weak old man lying on the hospital bed.

The room was filled with a strong fragrance of medicine, and people were not very comfortable in it. Apart from this smell, there was always a trace of fishy smell and a thicker sandalwood scent. "Your Majesty, I am unable to move and cannot welcome Your Majesty in person. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!"

The voice of his speech was very weak. Zhang Juzheng's face was quite rosy, even a little too red. Under such strange rosy, it was an abnormal grief. Emperor Wanli quickly stepped forward a few steps, reached the bed and grabbed Zhang Juzheng's arduously raised arm, and said with concern: "Mr. Zhang worked hard for the country, so he suffered from this disease. He also had to take good care of the disease."

"There is no need to comfort me in a dangerous situation. My body is also a little scheming in my heart, afraid it will be impossible... I still have so many things... This is fate!"

Zhang Juzheng's voice trembled, and he sighed dejectedly after saying a few words. Emperor Wanli also shook his head, and his face felt sad.

"Your Majesty, the whip method can fill the national treasury and must be implemented. The father and son of the Tartars have inherited each other and their strength has not decreased. Your Majesty should be restrained and must not go out lightly and initiate border provocations... Your Majesty, my children are not sensible, I can't rest assured..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, what Mr. Zhang said, I will obey, and my sons, I will treat you well."
