Chapter 206: Night Talk, Remote Help, Famous Post

People inside and outside the palace know that after entering the wax moon, the little emperor of Wanli was much more diligent, and listened carefully and asked seriously every time he went to the court.

After the martial arts hall was disbanded and Wang Tong left Beijing, the naïve childishness in the little emperor seemed to suddenly disappear without a trace, and he quickly became mature.

The diligence of the Wanli Emperor is not reflected in the decision, but more in the study, more in the diligence of the members of the system, he does not interfere in the various major policies decided by Zhang Juzheng, he just approves and seals as the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng greatly appreciated his diligence, not only praised him in the court, but also said in private that the Son of Heaven is like this, and Zhang is also worthy of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager Cisheng Li also felt happy, and felt that the little emperor had indeed grown up after the ups and downs of this year, although Wanli had less and less time to accompany her to eat and talk.

Somewhat different from Zhang Juzheng, Empress Dowager Li felt that Wang Tong had contributed to this change, and always remembered the benefits of Wang Tong in her heart.

After Zhang Cheng listened to Zou Yi's report, he delayed for a while in the duty room and read a few folds, and then picked it up and walked towards the inner study of the little emperor of Wanli.

The public security department in the Beijing division has not yet taken shape, but the traces of the major case of the officers and soldiers who pretended to intercept and kill Wang Tong in the market made Emperor Wanli and Zhang Cheng pay attention to this institution.

Zhang Cheng, who was the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch, specially transferred a few experienced old eunuchs from the business factory of the celebrant to help bring those newcomers, and asked Zou Yi and several cronies to sort out the documents and newspapers presented in each day, and then Zhang Cheng summarized them, annotated them slightly, and sent them to the little emperor.

High-ranking people, especially administrative bureaucrats like Zhang Cheng who have survived for decades, are also Qinglou gambling houses and market people, but others look at the usual information, but Zhang Cheng can see the difference.

Approaching the wax moon, Emperor Wanli learned a lot of knowledge and allusions about people's livelihood from this information, which is much more information than what he saw and heard during his private visit to the palace, and the value cannot be compared.

In the past, the Wanli Emperor was very afraid of being lonely, and even if he could calm down and read in the imperial study at night, he was surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting for him to summon at any time.

Today's imperial study is deserted, relying on the nearest eunuch is also waiting outside the door, watching Zhang Cheng come over, the eunuch is about to kneel down to salute, Zhang Cheng waved his hand to stop, he raised his voice to report, and only walked in with permission.

When he entered, Emperor Wanli did not look back to greet him, but looked at the excerpt intently, and when he saw the little emperor's appearance, Zhang Cheng was distressed, walked forward quickly, and said in a low voice:

"Long live Lord, these excerpts are just to see, don't break your eyes if you stay up late like this, you can't recover, but how can it be good?"

Emperor Wanli smiled, casually threw the fold aside, and asked:

"Zhang Banban, can the people who went to Tianjin to suppress thieves go to Tianjin Sanwei today? Rest assured? ”

"If you go back to the Long Live Lord, people will almost be able to enter the city tonight, this time it is the person brought by Zou Yi who is called Cai Nan, who is cautious and attentive, besides, it is just a few hundred soldiers under the command of President Qian, and the border soldiers of Jizhen will suppress it, and it will kill chickens with a knife, and there will be no problems."

Emperor Wanli exhaled a breath and said:

"Since the Ministry of War has intervened in this matter, the cabinet will immediately know that Qi Jiguang is a pillar of the country, and this matter should not involve him."

Zhang Cheng smiled and stepped forward to remind:

"Long live the lord, have you forgotten, what is the relationship between Qi Zongbing and Zhang Gelao......

"The widow is really confused, Qi Jiguang can have this position today, it is not the vigorous protection of Feng Daban and Mr. Zhang, but the harmony of civil and military, internal and external!"

Emperor Wanli's voice was very low, Zhang Cheng was also not answering, and after a little silence, Wanli took the document scroll of the Department of Security that Zhang Cheng took and began to look, and he didn't know that he saw the record over there, and said with a smile:

"It's also a coincidence, a group of children of the Hou Bo family are talking about what is the world's famous general, saying that Qi Jiguang has a false name, and has not made an inch of merit in Jizhen, Li Chengliang has made great contributions over the years, and he is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, shallow, really shallow, since Qi Jiguang went to Jizhen to be the chief military officer, the barbarians dare not go deeper, but they have repeatedly committed crimes in Liaozhen, who has done a good job, don't you understand?"

These things can be seen by sober people, and it is rare that Emperor Wanli can see through them at his age, Zhang Cheng thought so in his heart, but he praised with an approving expression on his face:

"Long live Lord Mingjian, the border pass still needs such famous generals to guard, and it can't be a major national event because of small sections."

The subordinate soldiers and horses pretended to be thieves to rob and kill the court officials, this is a big case, and the chief official of Jizhen is of course responsible for this, and this Qi Jiguang is Zhang Juzheng's person, and it has touched a certain line of Emperor Wanli, but Emperor Wanli can consider the overall situation as a whole and not go to deep research, which is indeed mature.

After looking at the document for a while, it is nothing more than a slight increase in the price of grain, but the price of various southern goods has fallen, and the people don't know whether to complain or be happy.

"There's something I don't know if I should talk about it?"

Seeing that Emperor Wanli was in a good mood, Zhang Cheng cautiously started this talk, but if he said this, it was not a good thing, Emperor Wanli frowned, and then nodded.

"Long live the lord, when it is said that Wang Tong is looking for a good errand outside the Beijing Division, there is a thousand households in Jinyiwei Tianjin who are just vacant, and the slave maid sent someone to inquire at that time, Liu Shouyou said that it was a first-class fat shortage and beauty difference, that is, the following people are on an errand and the thousand households who came back to inquire, but they found that they were very bitter over there, and they were pressed by several local yamen, and the thousands of households who came back were rumored to have broken their legs."

The little emperor of Wanli was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his hand on the table heavily, but his voice was low, his face was red with anger, and he said hatefully:

"Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, Liu Shou has this commander, but it seems to be Mr. Zhang's personal guard, where is he standing!!" After saying this, Emperor Wanli got down from the chair and walked back and forth in front of the bookcase, Emperor Wanli's composure was still gone, rubbed his hands a few times, stopped, and said to Zhang Cheng on the side:

"Zhang Banban, Wang Tong was driven out of the capital because of me, and he was sent to a bitter place, how can he be worthy of him, help me draw up the will, transfer Wang Tong to Henan, go to Nanzhili......"

"Long live the lord, long live the lord, don't worry, and listen to what the old slave said, Wang Tong went to the bitter place of Tianjin, it may not be a bad thing!"

Emperor Wanli looked over suspiciously, and Zhang Cheng stepped forward and said:

"Wang Tong made out the delicious restaurant, and built a martial arts hall, and when he left, he built the shelf of the Department of Public Security, at a young age, he can do it like this, it can be said that he is capable, but the inner court and the outer court think that he is just a close minister of the Son of Heaven to do it, the scholars and doctors are sour, with this impression, the future will be very unfavorable to the future of this Wang Tong, this time to put it in Tianjin and other bitter places, it is the time for him to show his skills."

Emperor Wanli sat down with an embroidery pier behind his back, listened carefully to Zhang Cheng's analysis, and Zhang Cheng talked eloquently:

"It's done well in Tianjin, first, there is a mouth to block the mouths of the courtiers, it will be useful in the future, and it will be done badly, that is also the poor and remote land of Tianjin Sanwei pulled the hind legs, long live Lord also has a saying, if you transfer it now, it is on the cusp, I'm afraid it's not a small trouble!"

"What you said is right, Wang Tong will be of great use to me in the future, it is convenient everywhere in Beijing because of me, and it is just a test in Tianjin, if it is done, there is no need to say it in the future, if it can't be done, come back and be a close minister, and it will not lose him."

Hearing that the emperor judged according to his own opinion, Zhang Cheng said respectfully:

"Long live the ...... of the Holy Ming"

Wanli walked back to the back of the bookcase from the embroidery pier, just picked up the fold and put it down, shook his head and said:

"No, it's still a disadvantage to Wang Tong like this, Zhang Banban, you still have to draw up a will or the next flag for him, otherwise he is a five-grade thousand households, what can he be worth in Tianjin in Jizhen, it's not a constraint everywhere, if he doesn't do it like this, wouldn't it be my fault......"

This was a serious matter, and Zhang Cheng listened to a stirring spirit, and hurriedly replied:

"Long live the lord, if it is an order or a flag, it will inevitably cause a storm in the internal and external yamen, I am afraid that it may not help him at that time, but it will harm him."

The little emperor was a little irritable, and Zhang Cheng hurriedly said:

"If the slave and maid write a letter to Wang Tong, if someone is embarrassed, take out the letter of the slave and maid, and think that it will sell some face for the sake of the celebrant and the celebrant, if it doesn't work, it's not too late to make a plan when the time comes."

Emperor Wanli pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled, and said:

"That's fine, the celebrity supervisor's post is said to be more useful than my will, and when I see Zhang Ban's post with you, the chief bingpen, there are only a few people who don't sell face." When Zhang Cheng came out of the imperial study, his face was calm, and when he walked away, a smile gradually emerged, and it was not the point that Wang Tong suffered losses or not.

Tianjin is obviously a drudgery but was said to be fat by Jinyiwei, and set up a bureau to pit Wang Tong to let Emperor Wanli know, so that the little emperor commanded Jinyiwei to make Liu Shouyou have a bad feeling, maybe the distrust of Zhang Juzheng behind Liu Shouyou has intensified, this is the key, Zhang Juzheng's trust in the emperor's heart is less, it means that Feng Bao is unstable.

On the morning of the 27th day of the lunar month, Wang Tong and several entourages came to the Yamen of the Third Guards of Tianjin, asking to see the soldiers and soldiers of the Dao Panda, and they were reported that the soldiers and errands at the gate were not very polite
