So when Emperor Wanli thought about getting an extra 80,000 taels of silver for no reason, he couldn't be happier! And this made him feel a little guilty for letting Liu Haojia out, thinking that he would promote him more in the future and let him return to the capital as soon as possible.
Just when Emperor Wanli was thinking about what to do with the money, Zhang Jia came up and whispered: "Long live Lord, Mrs. Wu Qingbo has just entered the palace!"
Emperor Wanli's face immediately darkened when he heard this, and he whispered: "What did grandma come to the palace for?"
Zhang Jia didn't answer, but took a step back. Because he knew that Emperor Wanli must know Mrs. Wu Qingbo's purpose of entering the palace. Because every time their family members come to the palace, they bring back a lot of things in large and small bags! So what he just said was just talking to himself.
And just now, Liu Haojia had sent someone to send the entire meeting minutes to the palace. Emperor Wanli read them carefully, and at that time he cursed Uncle Wu Qing's mansion for being too greedy! He also said that they were not satisfied even though they already had their share, and actually wanted to swallow even their own share!
Sure enough, Emperor Wanli said: "Send someone to keep an eye on the door. If anyone comes from the Queen Mother's place, tell them that I am not feeling well and have already fallen asleep!"
Zhang Jia moved his lips and was about to hesitantly agree when he heard Emperor Wanli say bitterly: "Forget it, I want to tell my mother that this uncle's family has gone too far!"
After finishing speaking, Emperor Wanli couldn't even read anymore, so he simply took off a sword from the wall and waved it in his hand! He bought this sword for 2,400 taels of silver! If in the past, he would not have the money to buy such luxury goods, but now that he has a lot of money, he will not treat himself badly!
He slipped on the ground twice and then stopped. Because he had been exercising for a long time today, the soles of his feet were a little painful, so he could only sit down and slowly caress the sword, and then imagined in his mind that he was commanding thousands of troops across the battlefield!
According to historical records, Emperor Wanli suffered from foot disease, which was not apparent when he was young. It was only gradually revealed after he ascended the throne that he was born lame! Of course, perhaps in order for him to successfully take over the throne, Empress Dowager Li deliberately covered up for him when he was young. But this is unlikely!
Later, when Guo Moruo opened the tomb of Emperor Wanli and opened the coffin lid, he saw the former star emperor in a very weird posture in the coffin. His face was upward, his head was slightly tilted to the right, his right arm was bent upward, and his hand was on the coffin. On the right side of the head, the left arm hangs down, slightly bent inward, and the hand is placed on the abdomen. Holding a rosary in hand. Bend your right leg slightly, straighten your left leg, and spread your feet outward. It is said that this is the legendary "Seven Dou Star Burial Ceremony".
Later, the staff conducted a medical examination on his body and found that Emperor Wanli's right leg bone was indeed shorter than his left leg bone. This showed that Wanli was indeed the legendary cripple, and the condition was serious!
In fact, there are clues about Emperor Wanli's foot disease in some historical records! As Wanli grew older, his foot problems became more serious, so he often did not appear in public view, and even various activities to worship heaven and ancestors were cancelled!
But many ministers scolded him and said that he did it on purpose! At first, Emperor Wanli explained to them: "My soles hurt and it is difficult to walk!"
As a result, their group of ministers refused to listen and kept writing "admonitions", which finally angered Emperor Wanli! Later, Wanli adopted a passive confrontational approach, not going to court, not seeing each other, and not replying. But fortunately, the power is still in his own hands.
Less than an hour later, the Empress Dowager's palace indeed sent palace officials to invite Emperor Wanli to come over. Emperor Wanli was relatively filial to his elders, so he didn't want them to wait any longer, so he directly called the chariot and rushed to Cining Palace.
When he walked into the palace, he found that his grandmother was not there, she must have left. So he snorted with satisfaction in his heart, and then stepped forward to greet Queen Mother Li.
After the ceremony, Queen Mother Li took his hand and sat down, asked him a few questions about his schoolwork, and then said, "Your grandma was here just now."
Emperor Wanli snorted and said: "Is it about the glassware? They have gone too far! Not only do they want to squeeze Liu Haojia out of the capital, who found a way for them to make money, but they also want to take charge of the remaining shares in my place! They are Do you only have money left in your heart, and you even want to touch my money?"
Queen Mother Li was a little embarrassed by what he said, so she slapped Emperor Wanli and said, "How can you say that about your grandmother's family! But what's the point of controlling the share of the capital for you?"
Emperor Wanli recounted the minutes of the meeting sent by Liu Haojia, and then said: "With me here, grandpa's family is definitely indispensable for wealth. Why does he still care so much?"
Queen Mother Li narrowed her eyes when she heard this, feeling a little unhappy! Because his mother didn't mention this when she came just now. Her mother just told her that there was a conflict during the bargaining process! Now it seems that is far from the case!
But she still said: "Your grandpa's family was poor when he was young, so he inevitably took money a little seriously!"
Emperor Wanli said: "Mother, I am already very generous! You don't even know what the outside world has said about Uncle Wu Qing's Mansion? They say they have no dignity and no dignity at all! And this time I have blocked Uncle Wu Qing's Mansion. It's already very gracious to go in! You must know that these nobles didn't want to bring their relatives with them! You see, no one from the other concubine's family has been accommodated!"
Empress Dowager Li said forcefully: "The Ai family has nothing to do with it! But you have to think of something to do with your grandpa's family! Then Liu Haojia will be released soon, why not let him give up half of his share in the capital and transfer it to your grandpa? , as for the share in other places, it will still be reserved for your grandpa, so your grandpa will not say anything else!"
Emperor Wanli almost jumped up when he heard this. He said eagerly: "Mother, isn't this good? The glass made by Liu Haojia could have been passed down to his family, but now it is dedicated to me! But now I have to compress him again There is no such thing as a share of the money! And the money is really of great use, there may not be any money coming into the palace in the next few months!"
After hearing this, Queen Mother Li immediately became vigilant and said, "Long live my lord, what do you want to do? The amount of money that should be sent in the past few months is not a small amount!"
Emperor Wanli smiled proudly and said, "You can't say this!"
Empress Dowager Li smiled and slapped Emperor Wanli and said, "Why, keep it a secret even with your mother?"
Emperor Wanli shook his head repeatedly and said: "Mother, you really can't tell me this! Liu Haojia told me thousands of times and never told me! If I hadn't pestered him, he wouldn't have even wanted to tell me! "
