"Behead 100,000 of the first umbrella of the Japanese soldiers...... Beheaded Toyotomi, Tokugawa, Maeda and other thief chieftains, the emperor lowered himself to the first rank, and was willing to call the king a vassal of His Majesty...... The country is willing to offer Kyushu Hizen, Higo, Chikugo, Sado Oshima, and Tanzhen as the territory of the Ming Dynasty...... "Wa Guo is willing to compensate 500,000 taels of gold, 5 million taels of silver, and 10,000 women...... Every year, I wish to present two million taels of silver and one million stones of rice........."

"Why is this a town again, and what kind of island is it, can't you just get ten thousand hectares of fertile land?"

"Brother, I thought so before, but when I inquired, I found out that the fat front and the town of Tankou are on the side of the Koukou, which is the meaning of our Ming Tianjin Wei and Songjiang Mansion, that Sado Island, tsk, five gold mountains, eighteen silver mountains!"

"Be quiet, be quiet, if you are found out of honor in front of the palace by the imperial history, you will be guilty of a crime, brother, you also have a lot of property in your family, don't you plan to go to the country to try?"

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, he Wang Tong fought too fast, Wanli entered the Wa Kingdom in the middle of the twenty-first year, and returned with a big victory in the twenty-second year, although there is any refuge in the Shimazu family, but after all, it is far away from the ocean, maybe there will be a repetition, and it will not be too late to wait until it stabilizes..."

"Oh, this Wang Tong looks at his thirties, this killing is too heavy, other families cut off thousands of Tartar heads back then, and they can have a future of feudal marquis, and the number of people who died in his hands is almost a million, can you sleep this night?"

"It's useless to say this, Your Majesty, the celebrant and the cabinet have all discussed, this time Wang Tong was given the title of county king, and half of the land of the Wa Kingdom and North Korea was actually sealed for him, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu probably couldn't think of today, Zhang Taiyue saw today, I don't know what to think.

"Hehe, and look at this Wang Tongtui's refusal, he gave up a lot of work last time and hid in Songjiang, but now he can't let it go!"

"Few, several, whispered, the imperial history has come to see it, you said this, Wang Tong glanced at me when he went to the palace, I was cold, murderous, go back tonight, I want to drink hot wine to warm up, speaking of which, the grace is unparalleled, the prince is actually here, and the Son of Heaven and the prince greet him personally."

It is said that the front of the palace is quiet, and the birds are silent, but Wang Tong can still vaguely hear these words, but looking at the Wanli Emperor in front of him and the prince Zhu Changxun on the side, as if he didn't hear this, the appearance of the rest of the people is also a little blurred, only Zhao Jinliang Wang Tong, who was accompanying Zhu Changxun, saw it clearly, and heard that when he captured the big wrench, Zhao Jinliang was appointed as the companion of the crown prince Zhu Changxun, which almost set the wealth for the rest of his life.

"When you come back this time, stay in Jingshi and don't leave, help me deal with the government together, if you leave again, the world will laugh at our monarchs and ministers..."

Emperor Wanli said with a smile, Wang Tong didn't pay attention to these words, nor did he pay attention to the vague smiles behind Emperor Wanli, he just looked at the crown prince Zhu Changxun on the side.

Sure enough, although he was smiling gently, the crown prince Zhu Changxun, who had been cared for in the inner palace since he was a child, still cowered and stepped back, obviously scared, the distance between the two sides was very far, it stands to reason that Wang Tong couldn't hear what he said, but he still heard it clearly: "Companion, I hate..."

Zhao Jinliang seemed to be silent for a while, and then said firmly: "There are slaves and maids, Your Highness don't have to be afraid." ”

After speaking, he stood sideways in front of the crown prince Zhu Changxun, and looked at Wang Tong indifferently......"

……

"When~~~~"

The long sound of bells and drums rang out, and when I looked up at the plain tabernacle, there was a dense but light sound of footsteps outside.

Wang Tong shook his head, took a deep breath, and sat up on the edge of the bed, and when he moved, the fu people around him were also awakened, and he opened his eyes and asked, "Ann ........."

"You can sleep a little longer, I won't be able to sleep." "The emperor is dreaming again?"

I remember that when I first saw Lu Ruomei next to her, she was still full of black hair, and at this time she was also a little frosty, Wang Tong subconsciously touched her face, and now it is also full of wrinkles.

"When people get old, they have more dreams.

"Your Majesty is up, come in and serve."

On the side of the bed, Lu Ruomei had already sat up with her clothes on, pulling a lanyard on the curtain of the bed, and she could hear the bell armor ringing outside, and footsteps sounded in front of the bed, and someone said respectfully: "Please dress and wash your majesty." ”

Wang Tong had already gotten out of bed, and saw a few palace maids waiting outside, and there was a eunuch in a python robe waiting there, this eunuch was in his forties, quite elegant, seeing this person, Wang Tong frowned and said: "Shen An, it's better for you to worry less about these things that serve people, what you are doing in the secretary and supervisor is the central work, not the affairs of these housekeepers."

The eunuch bowed down with a smile and said: "Long live Lord Shengming, these palace people in the palace are still not familiar with the work done by the internal officials, and it is not convenient for the long live Lord and a few mothers to use here, and when the slaves and maids train them well, they will concentrate on state affairs." ”

In the second year of Dahuawu, in 1623 of the Western calendar, the day in the palace began as usual, some people served to wash, some people were responsible for dressing, and some people hurriedly arranged breakfast.

The palace maids are running back and forth, a busy scene, but compared to the pomp and circumstance in the palace in the Ming Dynasty, this is at best the scale of a rich and noble family.

Among the busy palace people, there are not many eunuchs, and occasionally one is over thirty years old, and in the past, this kind of work was done by teenage eunuchs.

In the first year of Wu, Emperor Wu sent all the officials under the age of 30 in the palace to Liaoning and the Jianzhou General's Mansion, and issued land and farm tools and the first year's rations, and ordered them to support themselves.

Internal officials over the age of 30 are appointed according to the director, the 24 yamen in the palace correspond to the official offices outside the palace, and the internal officials have their own dispatches, and the management of the palace is set up by the internal affairs office, and the affairs of the inner palace are handled by the internal affairs office.

The current court, in addition to the security is much stronger than the people, the rest of the aspects are not different from the rich and powerful families, and the people also have scholars who laugh and talk in private, saying that the palace today is not much richer than the Liao State Mansion back then, and they have all been emperors, and they don't know how to isolate China and foreign countries.

Although the secretary and supervisor have the name of "eunuch", it is not an internal official yamen, he is composed of some eunuchs of the former court and the internal official supervisor and the personnel of Wang Tong's shogunate, the counselor is confidential, assisting Wang Tong in handling government affairs, and the secretary and supervisor have a secretary general, one secretary and one secretary on the left and right to participate in politics, and eleven secretaries and counselors, and one secretary and chief of 120 people.

When this organization was first established, there were many rumors that in the past, the Chinese Dynasty would use the secretary to supervise the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, and to be in charge of state affairs with internal officials.

However, it soon became clear that the position of secretary and supervisor was not high in the system of the new dynasty, and the cabinet, which everyone thought was going to be abolished, was greatly strengthened.

There are many eunuchs in the secretary and prison, and these eunuchs, like the rest of the courtiers, have their own residences in the capital and do not live in the palace, but the operation and maintenance of the palace is not something that can be done casually, and there are also a few people who guide and operate in the palace, so that the people of the internal affairs office can learn, and these internal officials cannot live in the palace forever.

The current imperial palace is located in the West Garden, and the rest of the Forbidden City, except for a few large halls, is constantly being renovated and remodeled to serve as an official office, and the Imperial Garden has been expanded in size and turned into a royal garden that allows nobles and ministers to enter and exit.

The West Garden is not too big, after Wang Tong finished washing, he had breakfast with Lu Ruomei, and then went to the Wangtian Tower near the lake as usual.

The place where the emperor deals with political affairs is the political affairs hall, next door to Wenyuan Pavilion, strictly speaking, now that location is also outside the palace, the place where the Son of Heaven works and the cabinet is adjacent, and the people are also quite puzzled, but I have to admit that this efficiency is much higher than before.

"Your Majesty, today Gu Li Shun came to Beijing to meet him, and after meeting His Majesty, the slave and maid arranged for someone to bring him here, so that the painter could copy it."

Shen An, the eunuch who has been following Wang Tong, said, Wang Tong nodded, the windows of Wangtianlou are not made of paper paste, but the glass made by Tianjin Wei Craftsman's Workshop, although the manufacture of glass has always been said to be made only at a certain day and time in a certain year, but Wang Tong personally broke this superstition when he was a courtier, but technically it is still much more backward than Europe, Jinyiwei spent thousands of taels of gold to buy the formula in Italy, and the interior of the rich and noble family of Daming is much brighter than a few years ago.

Although the name of Wangtianlou is large, but there are only two floors, the means of building are also very different from this era, it is mainly brick and stone, very spacious and tall, after Wang Tong became the emperor, the only private building built for himself is this, or with his own expense, did not touch the treasury, in the process of construction, there are architects from Europe involved.

After entering the gate of the Wangtian Tower, you can smell the smell of ink, which is very pungent, as if there is something similar to medicinal herbs in it.

The guards downstairs all bowed down after seeing Wang Tong, and the warriors did not need to kneel down when they brought knives to do errands, which was one of the rules of the new dynasty. ”

Wang Tong nodded, and walked up to the second floor with everyone, there are still some stone pillars on the first floor of the Wangtian Tower, and the second floor is even more spacious, and more than a dozen painters are engrossed in painting scrolls on the wall.

A huge wall, the whole was used as a drawing board, the painters were greeted only to know that the emperor was coming, everyone hurriedly came to salute, since they began to paint, they already know the habit of Wang through the coming, Shen An made a few gestures, and everyone quietly retreated, only a few guards stood far away.

The painting has not yet been completed, and many places are still incomplete, but Wang Tong can still see it.
