He did not expect that Queen Mother Zhang would say such words. This was unreasonable. Is this the sister he knew well? How could she be so extreme and talk nonsense. This was completely unacceptable to Zhang Yanling.

The second sister was indeed very kind to her, and she was extremely protective of her. However, everything seemed to have changed. Empress Dowager Zhang seemed to be trapped in a demonic barrier. She had already explained it very clearly, but she still refused to believe it.
You must think that all this was done by yourself. Zhang Yanling was really angry, sad, and pitiful for her.
"Second sister, calm down. I'll say it one last time. I didn't force the emperor to issue the sinner edict. It was the emperor's own decision. I didn't know anything about it beforehand. The emperor wanted to correct his previous shortcomings. This may not be a problem.
It's a good thing. I didn't kill Zhang Xiaowan. Don't listen to other people's deceptions and make random guesses, which will hurt your own family.
Harmony. I am not a rebellious subject. I have no ambitions. Don’t you understand me yet? Isn’t it that the more than twenty years of friendship between you and my brother and sister is no match for others’ slander and lies? Second sister, please be kind to me.
Think about it, is this true? If I did it, could I still deny it in front of you? We are a family."
Zhang Yanling suppressed her emotions and patiently whispered to Queen Mother Zhang.
Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and looked at Zhang Yanling and said: "Brother, if you really regard the Ai family as your sister, you should confess to your sister instead of continuing to deceive the Ai family. Even if you admit it, can the Ai family still blame you? Can you still go?
Is it okay to tell others? If you keep denying it, the Ai family will be very disappointed in you."
Zhang Yanling was completely speechless. Empress Dowager Zhang could no longer listen to her own words. No matter how she explained, it seemed to be of no use. This really made Zhang Yanling's anger uncontrollable.
"Second sister, I think we have nothing to talk about. Second sister, please go back to the palace. We will talk about this matter after you calm down. It is easy to get emotional if you talk about this now." Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
Empress Dowager Zhang glared at Zhang Yanling and said, "What? You don't even care about the Ai family anymore? You want to drive away the Ai family, right?"
Zhang Yanling could no longer control it and said angrily: "That's enough, Second Sister. Have you had enough trouble? I've been staying up late every day drafting memorials on the maritime trade issue, and I'm extremely exhausted. Today I'm very busy on the Ming Sea Trade matter.
After a whole day, I was exhausted. Second sister
You come here to accuse me for some unfounded things, and you won’t listen to me no matter how I explain. You also accuse me of being a rebellious minister. What on earth are you going to do? What are you thinking? Second sister, are you confused?
? Just say it wasn’t me, then
I did it, so what should I do? Do you think I don’t know that the person named Zhang Xiaowan was assigned to the emperor by you? Just when the emperor was about to change his ways and work hard to make a difference. When he just issued an edict to tell the world about his sins,
But you went to stir up trouble and let him drink randomly again and get into trouble
A woman went to seduce him. Yesterday he issued an edict to sin against oneself, and today he is too drunk to go to court. How do you want people outside to see the emperor? Don’t they all think that the emperor’s edict to sin against oneself is a scam, and no one in the world will believe it anymore?
Any words from the emperor that will lead the emperor into injustice?"
Queen Mother Zhang looked at Zhang Yanling in surprise. This was the first time she had seen Zhang Yanling angry in front of her. When the younger brother became angry, he turned out to be so terrifying. Like a furious lion.
"Besides, it's just a person's death, what's the big deal? Is it worth it for you to come and accuse me? Isn't the friendship between you and my sister and brother inferior to that of an ordinary woman? In your mind, is this woman so important?
Zhang Yanling shouted coldly.

Empress Dowager Zhang also said angrily: "Zhang Xiaowan is of course important. Don't you want to know why the Ai family did this? The Ai family did this for the sake of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, Zhang Yanling angrily laughed and said: "For the Ming Dynasty? What a joke."
Empress Dowager Zhang said solemnly: "You think it's a joke, but the Ai family doesn't think so. The reason why the Ai family does this is because the emperor has no heirs yet? The queen does not like the emperor, and the emperor hardly goes to see her. The emperor talks to those people every day
Leopard
The charming woman in the room, as well as the unidentified women who were brought into the palace, messed around, causing a mess, and I am afraid that my health has been damaged. For eight years, the emperor has had no heirs. Don't I, a mother, be impatient?
Successor of the Ming Dynasty
No one, isn't this a major matter concerning the country? The Aijia thought about finding a woman he likes to tie his heart, so that he will no longer fool around with those charming sluts in the palace. It just so happened that he ordered him to do it.
Cultivation of mind and character, there is another one he likes
If you have a woman by your side, you may be able to truly feel at ease. If you favor only one person, you may be able to have heirs. Isn’t it because of the Ming Dynasty that I can get the country? The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not care about the country’s affairs.
Don’t you care too?”
Zhang Yanling opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect that Queen Mother Zhang would do such a thing for this reason. No wonder he couldn't figure out even after thinking about it, why Queen Mother Zhang would get a woman to seduce the emperor. It turned out that what Queen Mother Zhang was thinking
This is such a train of thought, it is really dumbfounding and unbelievable.
"The emperor really likes Zhang Xiaowan very much. He has personally promised to confer her the title of Zhaoyi and live with him in the Qianqing Palace to serve her. Isn't this a good thing? But this afternoon, someone found Zhang Xiaowan hanging in the Haitang Pavilion. Although it looked like
It was suicide and hanging, but the Ai family knew that someone had killed her. Who has the courage? Who else but you?" Queen Mother Zhang continued to say confidently.
Zhang Yanling could no longer tolerate it, and the Empress Dowager Zhang was completely bewildered. What she did was beyond her imagination. She was completely deceived by Yang Tinghe. All of this was obviously the result of Yang Tinghe persuading her.
He had always been concerned about the Queen Mother's feelings and chose not to speak out. Regarding her affair with Yang Tinghe, Zhang Yanling couldn't bear to expose it, but just made insinuations in the hope that she would be alert. She absolutely did not want to hurt the Queen Mother Zhang, who was her relative and treated her extremely.
A protective sister. If given a choice, Zhang Yanling would never want to hurt her.
However, the situation has gotten worse. The Queen Mother has been completely controlled by Yang Tinghe. She no longer trusts herself. The situation has become serious enough that she has to show her cards completely and give her enlightenment to make her sober. Otherwise, things will happen.
becomes more troublesome.
"Second sister, let me take a guess. This Zhang Xiaowan was recommended to the palace by Yang Tinghe, right? The reasons you just mentioned were all told to you by Yang Tinghe. You must think what he said makes sense. He is
For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, you thought very carefully. So you agreed to his suggestion and called Zhang Xiaowan into the palace to see if the emperor was interested in her. Yes or no?" Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
Empress Dowager Zhang blushed slightly and scolded: "That's nonsense. What does it have to do with Yang Shoufu?"

Zhang Yanling sighed and said: "You can deny it, and Yanling doesn't want to force you to admit it. But second sister, there are some things I must point out to you and make it clear to you. Do you know that Yang Tinghe and that Zhang Xiaowan are friends? That Zhang Xiaowan
It’s Yang Ting and Biyun Pavilion who holds the fame in both hands.
Singing girl? Before that, she was Yang Tinghe's concubine. Zhang Xiaowan's father was Zhang Jianzhi, the former head of the Ministry of Rites. When Liu Jin was imprisoned and his house was confiscated for offending, it was Yang Tinghe who saved his family. Zhang Xiaowan was taken into his house as a concubine.
Does Second Sister ever know about these things?"
Queen Mother Zhang's eyes widened in surprise, with an incredible expression on her face.
"Impossible, these are all lies you made up. You have been making up lies since you were a child..."
Zhang Yanling waved her hands and said solemnly: "I don't want to argue with you. I also tell you that Zhang Xiaowan pretended to be the daughter of a musician from Daming Palace at the Dingguo Palace celebration banquet, claiming that I was his savior, and intended to seduce me. But I was
I found out. I ordered people to check her details and found out all this. My people saw Yang Tinghe having a tryst with her."
Queen Mother Zhang shook her head slowly and murmured: "Impossible, impossible, it's all lies. Everything you tell is lies."
Zhang Yanling ignored her and continued: "Let me analyze for you why Yang Tinghe did this. Yang Tinghe wanted to use a honey trap to plant an informant around me. I didn't fall for it, so he simply made up something for the sake of the emperor and the country.
Lies, by persuading you to send this Xiaowan to the emperor
, as the eyes and ears to control and spy on the emperor. You must ask why he did this? It is very simple. His purpose of doing this is to control the government, control the emperor, explore secrets, and influence decision-making. Yang Tinghe is not willing to accept the current situation.
The emperor cannot be controlled. He is ambitious. And the outer court has always been like this."
Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head and murmured: "Nonsense, it's all nonsense. Yang Shoufu is a humble gentleman, but you are judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. Everything you say is false."
Zhang Yanling finally became furious and shouted sternly: "A humble gentleman? Would a humble gentleman have an affair with the Queen Mother of the current dynasty and do something treasonous and unethical?"
Empress Dowager Zhang screamed and stared blankly at Zhang Yanling, her face turned pale.
