Hearing Empress Dowager Li say this, Emperor Wanli's face was neither angry nor joyful, but he just said, "Queen Mother, please speak." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Tianjin Wei set up a special officer, a few days ago someone told the mourning family, now the Ministry of Military Armament Huang Yifen is a capable person, he is cautious and serious in doing things, and he is a loyal and honest person, Tianjin Wei has so much money in and out, and he needs such a person to go over, what do you think, Emperor?"

Last time, I didn't propose a specific candidate, this time I directly said the person's name, Emperor Wanli lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice: "This person is my uncle's protégé, my uncle's food and clothing are not inferior to mine, is there a lack of money in the family, why are you still so enthusiastic about restraint." ”

Empress Dowager Li's brows furrowed suddenly, the situation in Beijing has become more and more restless in the past few days, although there is no news coming, the news that can come from Shanxi and Datong is that Wang Tong's army is more auspicious and less, without Wang Tong, many things of Emperor Wanli must be done through foreign dynasties, if there is a trade-off, Empress Dowager Li feels that Emperor Wanli will not refuse his request, but he did not expect to say so coldly.

Glancing at the side, the palace people who were attendants all retreated, and Empress Dowager Li's voice also turned cold, and she said: "Your Majesty, Tianjin Wei guards the use of the palace, not only the one hundred and twenty-five taels of gold and silver, but also the several merchant ships that the imperial horse supervisor has invested in Tianjin Wei, and the annual income and dividends are also a lot.

"How can it be cut off, is the queen mother too worried!"

"If Wang Tong can't come back, or if he returns in a big defeat, in a place like Tianjin Wei, he has a military position that has lost power, does the emperor think he can still hold it? When the time comes, the court will recommend one in the past, and there will be one or two pieces of silver sent to the palace, and what kind of livelihood will be made in the palace, and the courtiers will do everything possible to hinder and make it difficult, "How can you do it if you don't prepare in advance, there is no silver in the palace, and the food and salary rewards of the forbidden army and the generals of the Beijing camp will be raised there." ”

Empress Dowager Li's voice became stern, and Emperor Wanli just muttered hatefully: "This hundred officials in the court, whether they are the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty or not, my life is a little better, why can't they get used to it!" ”

"Your Majesty, what does the Emperor think of what the mourning family said?"

Over there, Empress Dowager Li asked again, and Emperor Wanli was silent for a while, and said: "What the queen mother said is that the emperor will arrange it tomorrow." ”

After the Ming Dynasty announced its nose, it experienced the defeat of Zitumubao, and the system of nobles and generals who had the right to speak in the court was devastated, and the power of Wenchen began to dominate.

Wenchen pays attention to the style and bones, stresses the way of sages, and pays attention to direct advice" Among them, the most risk-free and can be famous and praised, is to persuade the royal family not to be extravagant and wasteful, the imperial store opened in the palace, the civil officials must do everything possible to seal him, the tax supervisors and mine supervisors sent out by the palace, no matter how they behave, the civil officials must find a way to expel them back to the palace, and if they are excessive, they will directly arrest these eunuchs and punish them.

As for the gold and silver that become fixed every year, and the gold and silver that are listed separately in the taxes of the south of the country, the civil officials don't know how many times they have been entangled with the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, "Every time the Son of Heaven wants to ask for more money, the civil servants always have to entangle, and they can't have more than one or two."

The Son of Heaven does not necessarily ask for more money for luxury, and the savings of the ministers may not be beneficial to the country, and the ministers hate the commercial tax, "but the small people have nothing to do with the commercial tax, and the commercial tax is related to the high-ranking families, rich and wealthy businessmen, and the officials in the court and the local government are mostly from these high-ranking families."

Tianjin Wei imports a quota of 1.25 million taels into the palace every year, and because Tianjin Wei is prosperous, "many imperial merchants have opened shops in Tianjin Wei, and they are also very profitable."

As a result, more than half of the income in the palace "can be obtained in Tianjin Wei, and there is not much pressure on the people", but this situation is not what the ministers are willing to see.

In the past, the income of Huangzhuang Huangdian was not much, mainly relying on the allocation of the household department, the household department allocated, the courtiers naturally have the right to speak, and they have the right to speak on the royal expenses, which can naturally affect other aspects, and now this right to speak is getting smaller and smaller, and the ministers will naturally take Tianjin Satellite TV as a thorn in their eyes.

If Wang Tong is here, he punches and kicks out Tianjin Wei, and he has all kinds of ruthless methods, others are not easy to start, and it is not easy to speak, but if Wang Tong is not there, these officials have a lot of means to deal with the emperor, often high-sounding, and Emperor Wanli is really helpless.

What the Empress Dowager Li considered was actually the truth, but this should be a person from the Marquis of Wuqing, and at that time, Tianjin Wei's financial resources would be controlled by the Empress Dowager rather than the emperor, and they would all be caught by the royal family to the outside world, but in fact there was a significant difference.

However, at this time, whether it was in the hands of the courtiers or the queen mother, the monarch and the mother and son, and the Wanli Emperor also knew how to weigh the benefits.

Emperor Wanli's reply, Empress Dowager Li was very satisfied, the already gloomy look, with a smile, and after a few other words at will, she opened her mouth and said: "Yesterday, the Wang family took Chang Luo to play with the mourning family, Chang Luo's child is only two years old, you can see that the teaching is honest and honest, so that the mourning family likes it tightly, the emperor, Chang Luo has been in the palace for almost two years, and there is no explanation so far, now it is turbulent and eventful, and the reason for this instability should be less?" ”

This time Emperor Wanli's brows have been wrinkled, and Emperor Wanli rarely has any anger and worry in front of Empress Dowager Li, but when it comes to this, he really can't suppress it, but Wanli himself has no confidence, although there is no official news sent in northern Xinjiang, but he also feels that there is more than one luck.

Last time, I could go back, but this time I have to consider it and answer again, the smile on Empress Dowager Li's face disappeared little by little, and Emperor Wanli finally spoke: "Queen Mother, Chang Luo is still young, and when he is older, he will be crowned king!" ”

"Why do you want to be a bigger king, Chang Luo is the eldest son of the emperor, his ancestors are huge, and he should be crowned the crown prince at this time, why delay any longer, the emperor, the mourning family has said too much, the emperor is unwilling to listen, the mourning family has gone through three dynasties, and those officials in the court don't know what they want, the emperor has an heir but does not set up a crown prince, and they will hold on to it, and the emperor will be at a loss when the time comes."

Empress Dowager Li still used persuasion, but Emperor Wanli's brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, whether to establish a prince or not, is the emperor's family matter, the queen mother said it, they can't say, Wang Tong wins or loses, the emperor is at fault in this matter, but this mistake is not an excuse for the courtiers and people with intentions outside to coerce, if they really dare to speak, the court staff is waiting!" ”

"Ridiculous! What is a family affair, what is a world affair, you are the Son of Heaven, a heavenly family affair, is a world affair, how can the hundred officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee say it, if there is a stir for this matter, the situation in the court is turbulent, coupled with the defeat of the northern Xinjiang, I am afraid that I am really humming what people are going to do! ”

The smile on Empress Dowager Li's face disappeared, and she said sternly, Emperor Wanli wanted to slap the table, but he just grabbed it on the table fiercely, and said in a muffled voice: "Queen Mother, Concubine Gong Wang is a person from Cining Palace, listen to your words in everything, Queen Mother, Queen Mother has to insist on establishing a prince, not to let Concubine Gong go further...... Queen Mother, since the emperor ascended the throne, you have been in charge for ten years, your son has grown up, and your son has his own children, why do you have to care...... In this world, the surname is Zhu, not the surname Li ......"

Emperor Wanli began to raise his voice, but later, his voice was lowered and his words were indistinct, but the room was really quiet, and everyone could hear it clearly.

The two female officials in the room and a few of the servants were very quiet, he still looked up, the Empress Dowager Li was trembling there, stretched out her finger to this side, Emperor Wanli was also a little frightened, then the Empress Dowager Li said sharply: "The world has been handed over to you for two years, but how, thirty years of border plugs are all good news, but you let Wang Tong go deep into the northern Xinjiang, make such a big defeat, ruined such a good situation, what face do you have to see your father, see your emperor, what face do you have to see the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Emperor Wanli's body shrunk, after the rebellion of the Sanyang Sect, Empress Dowager Li did not ask about political affairs, Emperor Wanli thought that he had the confidence to harden his waist, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Empress Dowager Li like this, his heart was still empty, but he was quite unconvinced, and only muttered there: "It is also very late for my father to be the crown prince, and the title of King Yu is not early, and the emperor has not also opened this head?" ”

"All down, all down!!"

Empress Dowager Li shouted loudly, the palace people who were waiting around hurriedly retreated like an amnesty, Empress Dowager Li pointed to Emperor Wanli and said solemnly: "You are still saying such foolish things in the palace, how did Emperor Wuzong fall into the water, and how did he die of illness in the palace, how did I answer that year in Datong Xuanfu unimpeded, surrounded the Jingshi, don't you know that Emperor Wuzong trusted Wuchen, don't you know how many Wenchen your emperor offended at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, do you really think that this world is a world?" You are a close believer to Wang Tong, and you set up cards on the canal to collect taxes, and open the sea trade, you should be happy in the hearts of those civil servants, you used to be able to suppress it, but now the defeat is like this, how can you suppress it, do you really wait until others force the mourning family to sue the ancestors and the society? ”

Sue the ancestors of Sheji, this is the abolition of words, Emperor Wanli's face has changed, Empress Dowager Li said at this time, tears can not be stopped, there sobbed and said: "Your Majesty, the mourning family is your own mother, October pregnancy blamed you, you are the meat that fell from your mother's body, why do you always treat your mother as an enemy, now you don't do these things, and when it comes to the day when you want to do it, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

After speaking, he cried again, and Emperor Wanli sat there like a chicken, and sighed halfway. angry, just about to speak, but heard a eunuch outside shouting in a sharp voice: "Queen Mother, long live the Lord, the slave maid has 100,000 urgent important things to report!" ”
