Chapter 811: Many things

"Zhang Banban"

The imperial study was suddenly very quiet, and after Emperor Wanli said that sentence, he was quiet for a while, Zhang Cheng was confused, and when he heard this question, he hurriedly bowed down, who knew that there was no follow-up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was no expression on Wanli's face, and it was so quiet in the imperial study, until the sound of bells and drums came in outside, and Emperor Wanli said:

"Zhang Banban, it's not early, you go back to rest first, I wake up here"

These words were also quite inexplicable, but Zhang Cheng didn't say much, so he had to bow down and retreat.

Waiting for Zhang Cheng to close the door, Zhao Jinliang showed his head and looked inside, Emperor Wanli waved him in, hesitated and asked with a smile:

"Xiaoliang, I want to ask you something, you have to hide it in your heart, don't say it to anyone, you know?"

"The slave and the maid know, even if someone forces the slave with a knife, the slave and the maid will not say"

"Silly boy, who dares to use a knife against you, I don't agree, you have to remember, Zhang Banban's side can't say it, and Wang Tong's side can't say it."

Zhao Jinliang nodded vigorously, and Emperor Wanli paused again, and asked slowly:

"Xiao Liang, you were also by my side during the military parade, do you look at me more of the soldiers and horses that passed below, or do you look at Wang Tong more?"

Zhao Jinliang knelt on the ground and pondered, and said with certainty:

"Of course, it's to see more of Banzai."

Emperor Wanli let out a long breath, leaned back, and Zhao Jinliang said on the ground again:

"The slave maid heard what Brother Hutou said, saying that Brother Wang Tong Wang had specially told the generals of all armies to ask the soldiers below to look at His Majesty when passing by the high platform, so as to show respect."

Emperor Wanli's expression that had just been relieved immediately became stiff, and he pondered there for a while before waving his hand and saying:

"Let Concubine Li Defei sleep tonight"

Zhao Jinliang's face was a little confused, because Emperor Wanli rarely went to other concubines since he favored Concubine Zheng Guifei, and only called the servants when he was in a bad mood.

After the vacancy in the position of the secretary of the ministry, Zhang Siwei and his party were quite panicked, although Zhang Siwei Ding was worried for nearly a year, his influence in the court gradually disappeared, and the cabinet members and squires who were promoted to various positions by him were also gradually divided, each with its own territory, each with its own faction.

However, on the whole, they still help each other, and the position of the secretary of the ministry is second only to the cabinet assistant and the second assistant in the court, and sometimes even higher than the second assistant.

Grasp the power of personnel, this is the most important power in the officialdom, if it falls into the hands of others, it is really passive, originally thought that Wang Xijue entered the cabinet after the balance of Shen Shixing, but did not expect Wang Xijue and Shen Shi to walk very close, if the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu was also taken by them, then it would be restricted everywhere.

However, the results soon came out, and Shen Li, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, was approved by the court under the hint of Emperor Wanli and assumed the post of secretary of the ministry.

Shen Li is also Zhang Siwei's disciple party, he was a victim of Zhang Siwei's fight with Zhang Juzheng's party in Beijing, after Zhang Siwei was worried, no one could take care of him, but he didn't expect to turn over today.

"The Son of Heaven is getting older, this is to let the DPRK and China control each other"

There is no need for a discerning person, anyone with a little political vision can see this, Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing talked about it privately, and everyone laughed.

Because of Emperor Wanli's move, Zhang Siwei's party, which was originally frightened, calmed down, and since there was no liquidation and targeting of them, everything was still normal.

With this dry city, everyone is still harmonious and laughing in the court.

The time soon came to June, and the army led by Li Chengliang returned to the division and was about to enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the officials of the military department had already rushed over.

The official good news has also been sent to Jingshi, and there is not much difference from the report of Dongchang, the literati of the government and the opposition are clamoring, some of them are benefiting from the Li family, but more people are to lift up the victory of Liaozhen, so that Wang Tong's light is not so dazzling.

Rumors and nonsense, now they are going to be questioned, those unlucky ghosts who were exiled to Ningxia some time ago are a lesson, but no one can say no, the government and the opposition literati are all brilliant pens, and Li Chengliang's great victory is rare in heaven and earth, and the significance is second only to the founding of the country and the martyrdom.

Praise and praise, the courtiers secretly instigated, but on the bright side, they never dared to say that Liaozhen was indeed a great victory, but the level of exaggeration dared to report more than 20,000, the military officials from the Naturalization City side of the inspection have returned, and the Naturalization City side, there are more than 50,000 real levels, how can this be compared.

Not to mention, Wang Tong's side completely wiped out the Ministry of Response, and even the family of King Khan of the Ministry of Response was beheaded, not to mention seized, mountains of gold and silver sea, what did Liaozhen say about the number of livestock, gold and silver are not counted, if these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver can be called nothing, I really don't know what Wang Tong said, is the livestock on the grassland still called property, and they have been bought.

What is the Ministry of Answer, that is a great harm that has occurred since the middle of Jiajing, and it has also hit the city of Beijing, and the peace negotiation during the Longqing period is considered to be calm, but the court is always worried, and even the contradiction between the monk Guleng and the three ladies has to be busy sending people to adjust, for fear of being affected.

What is this Horqin Division, it is a Tartar who is contemptuously called a "barbarian", and its combat effectiveness is not very much appreciated by the border towns.

However, what makes people more strange is that Emperor Wanli does not seem to be dissatisfied with Li Chengliang's victory, and he really praised a few words, according to the news from the palace, the Li family's reward is compared with Wang Tong's example, Li Chengliang has worked hard, and has previous qualifications, and this time he is ready to reward him.

Li Chengliang was originally an earl, and this time he may be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, Li Rubai will be crowned Uncle, and the rest of the cadres will be rewarded, which is really a bit staggering.

But from other aspects, no matter who wins the big victory, it is good for the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, Li Chengliang's qualifications have also arrived, he is also old, and the area of Liao Town and the military and civilians under its jurisdiction are almost equal to a province.

What's more, Wang Tong has no opinion on this matter, it is said that Wang Tong also said that this is a victory for the Ming Dynasty, which is good for the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty, and that is a good thing.

The ministers and officials also sighed in private, although Wang Tong often does some crooked ways, he still grasps this major event, knows that he is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and knows the good and bad interests.

In the Wenyuan Pavilion in June, the court meeting had passed, the cabinet members and the six Shangshu were discussing politics, and a small eunuch brought in the transcript approved by the celebrant supervisor.

The ministers dealt with it according to the above criticism, asked about the specific situation of the six departments from time to time, and occasionally chatted a few words, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Xu Guo, a cabinet scholar, picked up a notebook, shook his head and said with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Hai Gangfeng has gone up again, asking for an investigation into the encroachment of Songjiang Xu Mansion on the people's land."

Everyone who was dealing with government affairs raised their heads, looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled, Wang Xijue put down the notebook in his hand and said:

"This Hai Rui, it's really exhaustive, he fell because of this back then, and now he is still staring, how many times has this been?"

Next to a cabinet:

"Back to the elder of Wang Ge, this is the ninth seal." Everyone in the room laughed again, if there were any celebrities in the years from Jiajing to Wanli, Hai Rui was definitely on the list.

Needless to say, all kinds of upright things in the Jiajing year, but what he said this time is related to an incident in the third year of Longqing, Hai Rui was of great use in the year of Longqing, and in order to respond to the governor of the heavens, Hai Rui has always adhered to a proposition, that is, the merger of the strong and powerful, especially those who have meritorious names to annex the land, is a great harm to the country.

Therefore, after arriving in Nanjing, there were many reductions on the local heroes in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jiangnan was the place where the Ming Dynasty annexed the most powerful and powerful forces.

Among the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the most powerful place for the annexation is Songjiang Mansion, and the largest landlord in Songjiang Mansion is the former cabinet assistant, who overthrew Yan Song's Xu Jie.

Songjiang Mansion is not big, but the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are full of fertile land, and they are all ripe fields for many years, and one acre of land here can top a few acres or even more than a dozen acres in other places.

After Xu Jie returned to his hometown, there were more than 400,000 acres of land under his family's name, and the land was tax-free in the name of the gentry, Xu Jie was the identity of a minister, and many people in Songjiang Mansion and neighboring prefectures and counties had a lot of land under his name, but ordinary people could do this, and the Xu family was a first-class wealthy family, and he would only swallow it in one bite and not spit it out.

After Hai Rui arrived, there was an endless stream of people who sued the Xu family for encroaching on the fields, and Hai Rui also regarded the Xu family as a strong man to be attacked.

The Xu family bribed Dai Fengxiang in the matter at that time, Dai Fengxiang impeached Hai Rui for lawlessness, Zhang Juzheng also felt that Hai Rui was too much, Xu Jie was Zhang Juzheng's mentor after all, and pushed the boat down the river in the court and removed Hai Rui from his post.

Waiting for Zhang Juzheng to be the cabinet assistant, although there have always been calls for Hai Rui to come back, Zhang Juzheng has never allowed it, worried that releasing Hai Rui will hurt himself.

After Zhang Juzheng died of illness, Zhang Siwei came to power, as a reaction to Zhang Juzheng's policy, and also promoted Hai Rui to the imperial envoy of Nanjing's right capital, which is also an idle errand, but Hai Rui is still the same as before, and the unsolved case must be solved.

Xu Jiewanli died of illness in the tenth year, Zhang Juzheng also died of illness, Dai Fengxiang is now living in Nanjing, the parties have dispersed, but Hai Rui is still insisting.

No wonder the cabinet ministers are laughing
