Wanli understands better than anyone else that when he was young, he really wanted to work hard, but in the end, how did he become a "lazy emperor" who lived in seclusion in the deep palace.

Sometimes, he really admired his grandfather, Emperor Sejong.

is also a "lazy emperor", but the ministers are afraid of Emperor Sejong.

And Wanli, the "lazy emperor", on the contrary, is afraid of the ministers.

Even the ministers are afraid, the distant ministers are afraid, as long as it is an official of a foreign court, he is afraid. If you want to say that you are not afraid, I am afraid it is the close ministers.

Helplessly, whether it is a minister, a small minister, or a distant minister, Wanli can't scold them.

As an emperor, it doesn't matter if you scold, as long as you can kill people.

But if you want to talk about fighting, if you want to talk about killing, in the ten years since Dengji, Wanli has never really killed anyone.

He is a kind-hearted son of heaven.

Wanli never thought of himself as a faint monarch or tyrant, because he really didn't execute anyone because of the anger in his heart.

The country is in his hands, and he governs it far better than his grandfather.

The people have enough food and clothing, and they have won many victories in foreign expeditions, and there are no boundaries, no captives, and the number of Dingkou has reached the highest level in this dynasty... All this is not what the prosperous world is, what is he not Mingjun!

Wanli is a son of heaven who holds grudges, but he just holds grudges and will not kill people at every turn.

is the Gu Xiancheng who is admired by everyone, Gu Xiancheng who is angry and wants to vomit blood, and Wanli just drove him out of the court. Knowing that the other party was unwilling, he made waves in Nanzhili, controlled the court with a cloth coat, and spoiled the court, but he didn't see it.

A while ago, someone in Kedao attacked Gu Xiancheng who was far away in Wuxi by stealing wood from Li Sancai, and Wanli knew at a glance that this was a partisan dispute, and someone wanted to use him, the emperor, to clean up the Donglin Party.

However, deep down as the emperor, he didn't want to take advantage of this to clean up Gu Xiancheng.

At that time, Wang Xijue's inability to return to the cabinet has always made Wanli haunted, and the initiators were Gu Xiancheng and Li Sancai.

Therefore, if Gu and Li can be cleaned up together, Wanli will be so happy that he can't sleep.

However, in the end, he was able to stay.

Because, he understands that if he really wants to send those bullet seals to the ministry, the final result is very likely to be that he can't clean up Gu Xiancheng, but traps him, the emperor.

As far as foreign courtiers are concerned, what Gu Xiancheng did is nothing. Someone can question Gu Xiancheng, and someone can scold. But if the emperor wants to use this excuse to make a move against Gu Xiancheng, it is very impossible.

Wanli must be abandoned.

Driving out a Li Sancai was a success for him, the emperor.

If you really want to do it to Gu Xiancheng again, there is no benefit except for causing trouble.

The Donglin Party now has a lot of influence in the DPRK and China, and Ye Xianggao, the first assistant, is the leader of the party.

Wanli really wants to shout and kill Gu Xiancheng, and Ye Xianggao will not give up.

At that time, the court will fight together, the court will be chaotic, the country will be harmed, and it will be him, the emperor, who is depressed.

As for the killing of many of the mine supervisors and tax envoys in various places, all Wanli could do for these close ministers was to threaten his first assistant with a hunger strike.

The disadvantages of party contention, Wanli does not know.

However, there is no power to change.

Over the past few decades, party strife has become deeply rooted, but officials must have a party that is close to them, and there is no party without a party.

The relationship is intricate, and it affects the whole body; Stir up the entire court by moving one person.

Under this premise, Wanli can only suppress, but cannot completely deny Donglin.

Otherwise, even if he hides in the palace, he will never have a stable life.

If the trouble is extreme, the entire foreign dynasty will be the enemy of him.

And it really suppressed Donglin, and it was replaced by those clear streams.

It's like pressing a gourd in the water, sinking this end and rising that end.

It's not easy to get along with him, the emperor, so why bother with it.

It's not bad to maintain the current situation, at least no matter how big Donglin's power is, there will always be the rest of the parties to contain it.

Li Sancai could not enter the cabinet, which was a big victory for Donglin to a certain extent.

Wanli was satisfied.

Wei Yangmeng wrote to him to recall Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing, saying that Gu and Zhao Zhiyi are all great sages, and they can be clear and politically harmonious if they use their court.

Jokes, what jokes.

Wei Yangmeng's brain is still a tendon, and everyone is the same.

Who is saying that Gu, Zhao and the like are virtuous ministers, Wanli, as the emperor, knows better than anyone else.

To be honest, Wei Yangmeng is not the Donglin Party, but he is on the side of the Donglin Party.

He has hard work in governing the land, but Yu Chaotang's vision is still a little worse, and he doesn't know the harm of party struggle.

The people of the clear stream have a good reputation, and what is black is white in their mouths, and what is white is also black in their mouths. Nepotism, the party is the same and different.

If you really want to summon Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing into the imperial court, it will really be a one-party dominance, and Gu Xiancheng and his ilk will completely make decisions for his emperor.

Wanli couldn't tolerate this happening, he agreed to Li Sancai to enter the cabinet because of Ye Xianggao's persecution, and he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Now that he has finally been accused of Li Sancai's crime, how can he not take advantage of the opportunity.

He dismissed Li Sancai, and he clearly told the foreign dynasty that I am not blind, not deaf, and don't care about anything.

If it weren't for the cabinet to maintain Ye Xianggao, there would be no one in front of him who could replace Ye Xianggao, and he would still be in charge, and he would have turned over the imperial court to some extent. Otherwise, Wanli would definitely replace Ye Xianggao as the sole assistant.

Wei Yangmeng's notes, like the pile of notes just now, were all sealed by Wanli's order.

He wouldn't give Wei Yangmeng a word, let alone send out this recital.

Sitting there, sighing in my heart.

He is old, and he can suppress the party struggle in this court when he is alive, but after his death, how will the successor face the situation that the court is full of parties.

Thinking of his fat eldest son, Wanli couldn't help but sink his mind.

If it weren't for the eldest grandson's talent and intelligence, this abolition would really be uncertain.

The eldest son can be said to be single-handedly supported by Donglin, and it is not difficult to predict that after the eldest son succeeds to the throne in the future, Donglin's power will inevitably be greater.

With the character of the eldest son, Wanli sadly believes that the eldest son is likely to become Donglin's "puppet".

At that time, there will be no one who can check and balance Donglin, and if Donglin, who completely controls the new monarch, does not do well, he will remove all the officials who are hostile to them in the court.

It's just that no matter how sad or worried he is, he can't change the fact that his eldest son Zhu Changji is his successor.

Wanli has no way to fight for the country's capital again.

Sigh, the minister who has no trust.

Ministers, ministers, distant ministers, and close ministers, who can assist the new king for me.

Wanli is not a superstitious person, people will eventually die, and the life span is not up to him, even if he is the son of heaven, he must accept death calmly.

Or, when I die, let him flood to the sky?

People die like ashes, and the affairs of future generations have their own decisions by future generations, and I have a few thoughts.

Wanli smiled bitterly, looked up and saw that it was not early, so he prepared to go to the concubine.

The chamberlain sent a note again, saying that it had just been received by Huijimen.

The notes handed by Huijimen are all submitted by the mine supervisors, tax envoys and eunuchs from all over the country, and Wanli has always been immediately collected and read.

"Who handed it over?" Wanli motioned for the chamberlain to present it.

"Back to the emperor, the internal official and Wei Liangchen." The chamberlain presented the recital with a respectful voice.

"What did he give me?" Wanli was curious, took a look, and saw that the title cover was written "Respectfully ask the emperor to review the Ming Navy".

Ming Navy?

Wanli took this note and was confused: When did I have a navy?
