Emperor Wanli, who was sitting on the white jade steps with a big orange in his arms, rubbed his face, and irritably took off a boot and threw it into the distance.

The emperor loved to read very much, and there were many books such as scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, medical books, picture books, etc., which were bought by eunuchs outside the palace with money, but at this moment, there was no book in the world that could help him settle down.

Although whether it was in the court or sending Qi Jiguang, Fang Fengshi, and Wu Dui out of the palace, he showed that he had the chance to win, but he was ...... in his heart He was afraid.

This was the first time in the young emperor's life that he had been scared of something.

It's not that he wasn't afraid, he was very afraid of Zhang Juzheng in the past.

But that's because someone is scared, and it's not about what that person does...... Shousuke-sama just hiccuped, and the fear it brought to the emperor was the same as his scolding.

But this time Wanli was really scared because he was too hopeful for victory.

This victory is unlike any other victory.

Because of human physiology, the eye is problematic, it can only see in front of it, and even if it wants to look around, it has to use its neck to do it, and it can never see behind it.

Whoever threatens can be seen.

And because of the size of wealth, the development of the four oceans is far from the shocking effect of Europe.

Two million taels of silver a year was more than any royal family held in Europe before the New World, but not in China.

Even if people are crazy about it, the degree of madness is different.

But the threat from the north is real, as old as Ma Fang, as young as the Wanli Emperor, this generation of people empathize with the infringement of the northern captives - because of this, in the eyes of the Wanli Emperor, who knows the importance of the people's hearts, winning this battle and recovering the territory of the empire is an unparalleled achievement.

"Alas, it's too difficult to govern the world."

The emperor scratched his head and threw the other boot out in boredom.

The white jade steps he sat on had been swept by the eunuch Wang An with a whisk, even if he used white socks to touch the ground, it would not be too dirty, at this time the eunuch and the guards knew that the emperor was in a depressed mood, and they did not dare to step forward, only Wang An walked down the steps silently, and put the two boots in Wanli's hand in case he threw them out again.

Wanli didn't raise his head, and asked softly questions that were not related to what he was thinking, and said, "Does the household department know the wealth of the people in the world?" ”

What is the wealth of the people in the world?

"I don't know what kind of property Your Majesty is asking, property, land, houses, and six animals?" Wang An thought for a while and said, "The imperial court has not counted it, but if Your Majesty wants to know, the slave and maid can order it to go down, and it can be roughly calculated within three months." ”

They all pay taxes, and there are Wanli accounting records, and these things only need time to be calculated.

For Wang An, he didn't know why the emperor lamented that it was too difficult to govern the world, because ...... The emperor did not really govern the world, even though there were more and more 'idle things' in the court, but it was just idle affairs.

Building a few roads, setting up some government-run primary schools, moving their mouths, and allocating some money are not called governance, not to mention the money spent is not difficult for the emperor.

The emperor's involvement in politics was not even comparable to his role in military affairs, at least the training of the Four Guards was a real merit in his own hands.

He didn't know that the 'too difficult' that Emperor Wanli lamented was precisely because he did not govern the world, or he could not govern the world.

Over the past few years, especially in Zhang Juzheng's body, the emperor has reformed the number of times he has gone to court at a young age, reducing the number of times he has gone to court to nine times a month, and the court has formed a set of strict procedures for the ministers to raise problems, cabinet votes to give solutions, the emperor's celebrant and supervisor to make decisions, and the six departments to check whether it is inappropriate, and finally send it to the six ministries for implementation.

In this program, the emperor is dispensable...... As the emperor, who was supposed to have decision-making power, grew older, he gradually became aware of the fact that whatever Zhang Juzheng said he thought was right, he would wear red.

Even if the young man's rebellious psychology comes, he has no chance not to approve it, because he will always be persuaded by Zhang Juzheng.

This made him unable to distinguish between himself, a living person, and what was the difference between the seal that looked like it and the imperial pen that was specially used for Zhu Pi.

It's just that the seal and the imperial pen have to be picked up by hand, and he is a little more troublesome, he only needs to say a few words and it is fully automatic.

Yes, he knew that Zhang Juzheng was right, but this feeling had gradually annoyed him.

Even his unique appropriation and decree outside the formal procedure were slowly put back on track, and the will to build primary schools in the two capitals and thirteen provinces was not finally issued, but was jointly proposed by the cabinet at the behest of the great master of Xuezheng and implemented by the household department after going through the formal procedure, and the emperor only symbolically allocated some money from the inner treasury after the household department allocated the funds.

What's more, this method of doing things is not easy to do in the decision-making of the real governance of the country, and Liuke can refute his will with a smile, and he can't say anything about those people...... The seven-grade petty officials are fierce!

Without Zhang Juzheng's approval, even the emperor could not be angry and discouraged to exile the Taoist officials for thousands of miles to support the construction of Asia.

He is the emperor, but he has no ability to influence the government.

Not even the right not to listen or to watch.

After he expressed to Zhang Juzheng for the third time that the cabinet could directly hand over the vote to the celebrant Zhu for approval, Zhang Juzheng was scolded in exchange.

It was a rare thunderstorm in the Imperial Shousuke.

It seems that in Zhang Juzheng's consciousness, the emperor can't help but look at the votes, because this will make the imperial power fall aside, and it will also allow the celebrant to hold the power, which will eventually lead to the imperial power being hollowed out.

Doing nothing is very different from doing nothing.

But for the emperor...... Hasn't he been elevated all the time, and why is there any fear that 'will' be elevated?

The difference in their perception is that Emperor Wanli sees the present, while Zhang Juzheng focuses on after he leaves the court.

The emperor thought it was now, but he didn't dare to say it and couldn't say it; And the head of the cabinet believes that his absence is the beginning of the student's dominance of the world, and after that, there will be no one in the world who has such unparalleled power as him.

If the court decision-making process is a set of rules.

Then the contradiction is that Zhang Juzheng wants the emperor to use the rules to strengthen the imperial power, but he puts himself outside the rules.

In fact, this artificial contradiction was the reason why Emperor Wanli nodded happily when he heard that the cabinet thought that the time had come to use troops to the north—he wanted prestige, and he desperately needed to exchange war for prestige, so that he could try to break free from the shackles that bound him little by little.

From Chen Muna, Wanli learned how to guide public opinion.

Now, the young emperor plans to use public opinion to break through the shackles, and this battle to recover Wulianghai is the first step to gain public opinion.

"Rough reckoning?"

Wanli shook his head and said: "I want to be actuarial, let the world census, and I will use it in the future; Go to the telegraph room and ask Liang Menglong where Qi Dashuai's soldiers have gone. ”
