"Lord Wang, you have already read His Majesty's handwritten message, without further ado, please leave quickly!"

Zheng Guotai said eagerly, but Wang Tong in front of him was silent there. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Guotai is just twenty years old, and he can be regarded as a young man, because his sister favors the harem, he has also become one of the most powerful nobles in the limelight.

His glory and wealth are all on Zheng Guifei, and the Jingshi has become like this, Zheng Guotai also knows that if the eldest son of the emperor is made the prince, his sister will not have a good life in the future, and he naturally does not have the scenery he has now.

Therefore, although there were no instructions in the palace, he Zheng Guotai himself had the cheekiness to visit the famous people and the mansions of the bigwigs in the capital.

Now it has reached such a point, who will meet him, who will care about such a national uncle, not to mention the soup, and will be ridiculed and ridiculed a lot.

When Zheng Guotai was anxious, he was announced by Emperor Wanli, when he entered the palace, he was disguised as a Xi eunuch, and he was also dressed like this when he left the palace.

was led out of the city, and then got on the horse and left, and the people who guarded them were all dressed as ordinary people, but Zheng Guotai saw a familiar face and knew that it was the fan of Dongchang.

The emperor's relatives and relatives, when today's eunuchs have to dress up like this when they go out of the city, this posture makes Zheng Guotai even more frightened and anxious.

He has also been rich and noble all these years, but this way he has been sleeping in the open air, rushing non-stop, although it is hard, Zheng Guotai has not complained, but he knows what the situation in Beijing is like now, and a little delay may cause a big disaster, and this time he still has a chance, Emperor Wanli favors Zheng Guifei, but he doesn't love this Zheng Guotai very much, but this time he gave Zheng Guotai a xi errand, which makes Zheng Guotai excited, seize this opportunity, and he will be able to soar in the future.

When he came to Naturalization City, Zheng Guotai didn't care about appreciating any scenery different from the mainland, so he directly found Wang Tong with Zhao Jinliang, who was riding a horse to check the soldiers and horses in a farm.

On the same day, he returned to Guihua City, and Zhao Jinliang read out the edict of the Wanli Emperor, and then handed it to Wang Tong, along with a token of the Wanli Emperor, proving that this edict was not forged.

But this Dingbei Hou and Jinyi Wei both commanded Wang Tong but did not react immediately, but looked at the hand oracle and groaned, the current situation is urgent, and it cannot be delayed for an hour, Wang Tong did not say a word here, Zheng Guotai observed carefully, but his heart unconsciously became anxious.

"Zheng Guanren, is there any obstacle to Your Majesty's safety?"

was asked by Wang Tong like this, Zheng Guotai was stunned, although Jingshi made such a fuss, but the safety of Emperor Wanli can be guaranteed, it is nothing more than the right without power.

Wang Tong's face sank like water, and he said with an oracle: "This matter is to be done, Wang will immediately become the target of the world, and I am afraid that he will be roasted on the fire in this life." ”

Zhao Jinliang and Zheng Guotai are speechless, Wang Tong is afraid that he will really bear the infamy of the world if he does this, and it is difficult to say whether he will cause trouble in the future.

Not to mention anything else, why did Wang Xijue repent, that is, for this reason, the accumulation of ruined bones, and the attacks of the world's scholars are not a joke.

Wang Tong seemed to hesitate there, fighting in his heart there, Zheng Guotai became more and more anxious, he couldn't care about anything, and directly knelt down and cried: "Lord Wang, if Lord Wang hesitates, Your Majesty will be restrained by internal and external constraints, and Lord Wang's position of power may also be unstable, poor Guifei Niangniang, poor Guifei Niangniang's child who is less than one year old, Lord Wang ......"

Before he finished crying, he saw Wang Tong slam the table, and heard a loud noise, which made Zheng Guotai tremble in fright, and the rest of the words were put in his stomach.

"Anyway, Wang received the great favor of His Majesty, without His Majesty, there would be no Wang today, what is the gain or loss of personal power, Xi Liang and Zheng Guanren will rest for a while, Wang will go and prepare."

Zheng Guotai was relaxed, and was about to say words of thanks, but he heard Wang Tong shake his head and say with emotion: "I'm afraid that after this time, I will have to say goodbye to my hometown!" ”

Wang Tong said this easily, Zheng Guotai couldn't find any words of persuasion for a while, although he was young, he also knew a lot about the politics of the court, I am afraid it is really as Wang Tong said.

Naturalization City Thomas, it is really easy to prepare, that afternoon, Wang Tong settled his family here, led the guards to leave the Naturalization City, this time Wang Tong just brought more than 100 guards, and they are all caravan dress, one person and three horses, basically non-stop along the way, quickly followed.

Zhao Jinliang and Zheng Guotai are both pampered characters, and the non-stop galloping all the way is really hard for them, but at this point, they can't take care of their own suffering.

However, what surprised them was that the return journey was much faster than when they came, because when the horses needed to rest and replenish along the way, they could always find a place to rest and replenish, and they did not need much time to settle down, and in Datong Town and Shanxi, although Wang Tong and others were disguised, they were not stopped by anyone along the road for inspection or interrogation..................

The first and fifteenth days of each month are the great dynasty, on this day, the officials above the sixth grade of the Beijing division see the emperor in Fengtianmen, they are all wearing court clothes, according to the great ceremony to kowtow, and then disperse the dynasty, this great court will not discuss anything, it is a pure ceremonial activity, calculated since the beginning of May Wanli Emperor did not go to court, until the middle of July, Emperor Wanzai has not appeared in front of his subordinates.

The establishment of the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, as the prince, this matter is almost a certainty, and it can be basically determined, although Emperor Wanli did not make a decree and make a clear statement.

The main instigator of this speech always felt a little awkward between the second half of June and July, because although the general direction of the canon remained the same, there were always some discordant notes.

For example, everyone did not focus on the establishment of the reserve, but was obsessed with currying favor with the Empress Dowager Li, for example, it was suggested that Huang Yifeng should be assigned to Tianjin Wei as a magistrate, for example, let Li Wenquan, Marquis of Wuqing, retake charge of the Beijing camp, as long as the establishment of the reserve is completed, and the right to speak of the Empress Dowager and the ministers is re-established, it is a logical thing, why rush at this time, and in addition to Li Wenquan and Huang Yifen, there are also people who recommend other people from the Empress Dowager or the Marquis of Wuqing, this is nonsense, If all the people of Wu Qinghou's family benefited, then what did everyone do so much, why bother making wedding clothes for others.

Such a toss, but the Empress Dowager Cisheng woke up, but she was not in a hurry to urge Emperor Wanli to decide, just to see the performance of these people outside the palace, if Wu Qinghou and Huang Yi were not assigned to the position where they should go, Cining Palace can also wait slowly, now in this situation, Zhu Changluo has already entered Cining Palace, and the initiative is here.

In desperation, the people outside the palace had no choice but to change their direction, and the proportion of Lichu in the music changed, and most of them went to support the appointment of Marquis Wu Qing, Huang Yifen and the rest.

Emperor Wanli doesn't seem to have a temper, and he began to argue with the courtiers on such a thing, and he was quite naïve.

After being entangled like this for a month, the governor of Jingying and the magistrate of Tianjin Wei, this is not an appointment that can be ignored, not only the Queen Mother and the Marquis of Wuqing want, but the rest of the factions are also greedy, which will inevitably have entanglement, and in more than a month, there has been no result.

Many people are unwilling to continue to drag on, the more tossed, the more variables, and Emperor Wanli does this to make people scratch their heads, so far, the appointment of the prince and officials, Emperor Wanli has not agreed to anything.

Many people who were hot-headed for a while and had a lively time have lost their enthusiasm, and the Beijing Division has regained some calm, but in the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Hanlin Academy, and the six departments, the Lang officials of various departments, these low-grade officials, and the backbone of the Qingliu have never relaxed.

The cabinet scholars all stood by and watched, but several people from the six departments of the Ministry of Shangshu have always expressed their attitude, and at the beginning of July, Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, complained of illness and asked Zhishi to return to his hometown.

Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has not been very involved in the affairs of the establishment of the prince in the six departments, and privately has a lot of complaints about this cadre, saying that it is for his own selfish interests to disturb the N Dynasty Gang, this sentence spread, Zhang Xueyan began to be besieged, not to mention those articles and remarks that criticized him, saying that Zhang Xueyan was morally corrupt, and there were countless pieces of music asking the Wanli Emperor to depose this person, and there were more "hot-blooded scholars" gathered in front of Zhang Xueyan's mansion to shout and scold, and also posted proclamations on what wall, writing black letters, mostly abusive.

Not only that, Zhang Xueyan's errands in the military department are a little unbearable, and any clerical orders have been rejected by the military department.

Zhang Xueyan is an honest man, and he has a set of skills in running errands, but intrigue is really not a strength, and when he is old, he is angry with these people, so he is unwilling to continue to stay in the court.

Emperor Wanli failed to keep it several times, but he had to allow it, and under the push of the court, Wang Xun of Yang Wei's line became the new secretary of the military department, and Bi Qiang was substituted as the secretary of the household department, which was also a signal to tell the hundred officials in the court that if anyone stood on the side of the Son of Heaven or wanted to stay out of the matter, there was no way to stay.

Emperor Wanli, who has always been silent, finally gave a reply in such a situation, he will attend the court on July 15, and at the court, he will announce the establishment of the prince.
