Quiet!

There was a deathly silence in the temple!

Zhu Changluo?

Or Zhu Changxun?

Although Wanli said word by word, and the words were quite clear, Shen Shixing still felt that they didn't hear it very clearly.

Rao is Zhang Cheng also looked confused, and he couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Your Majesty, did you just say that you are the eldest son of the emperor, or the third prince?" ”

The difference between this word is fatal.

You have to ask!

The ears of the ministers seemed to stretch out.

Wanli said: "I'm talking about the eldest son of the emperor!" ”

This time, everyone made sure they heard correctly.

But.......

Why is that?

Zhang Cheng and Tian Yi couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

Both of them were close ministers, and they knew the emperor best, however, just before this meeting, they both thought that the emperor would be deposed.

Because there is not a single indication that the emperor will make the emperor's eldest son the crown prince.

They are all like this, let alone Shen Shi to do them.

Because in the past two years, all the emperor's actions have revolved around the dispute over the country, he just wants to abolish the long and young, it is simply Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, and now the emperor is in the limelight for a while, fighting in the south and in the north, invincible.

He can bypass the imperial court and directly start a war, which may be a strength that Taizu has never had.

Therefore, what they predicted was that either the emperor would continue to drag on and delay it for a few more years, or he would directly abolish the elder and the young.

There will be no third option.

Zhang Cheng and Tian Yi all think so.

But this third option emerges.

And the least likely, especially today.

Now that the emperor is strength has increased greatly, he will not necessarily lose, so he will have to fight a dozen times.

It is not possible to just announce it.

It's so weird!

Wanli looked left and right and asked, "Don't you approve?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Wang Jiaping was prostrate on the ground, with old tears and shouting long live.

He was crying!

It's not easy!

He really thought it was not easy!

Shen Shixing and they also quickly knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming"!

"Haha...... Hahaha! ”

Wanli laughed on his back and strode out of the palace, as if issuing a declaration of victory.

But the problem is that he didn't win, he finally compromised, succumbed, and finally made the emperor's eldest son.

The bureaucracy has won a great victory!

After he left for a while, Shen Shixing and the others gradually came back to their senses, knelt on the ground and forgot to get up, looking at each other, from the beginning of the sentence "Establish the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince", to the last burst of laughter, all of which were weird.

After another moment, they slowly stood up, and Shen Shixing asked Zhang Cheng in a low voice, "Prime minister, has Your Majesty encountered any difficulties recently?" ”

He looked at Wanli, but it really seemed to be greatly stimulated.

Zhang Cheng also knew what Shen Shixing meant, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has not encountered any difficulties recently, he only came back from the Royal Racecourse yesterday, how can he ...... today." ”

He hurriedly shut up, but Shen Shixing had already heard the sound outside the strings, which showed that Zhang Cheng was also predicting Zhu Changxun.

Even Zhang Cheng doesn't know, and it is estimated that no one knows.

But what's going on exactly?

The most difficult thing in the world to guess is really the emperor's mind!

……

Return to Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty."

The imperial concubine Zheng was alone in front of the door to greet Wanli.

"Ai Concubine, hurry up and be exempt." Wanli quickly stepped forward to help Zheng Shi, took her hand and laughed: "Don't worry, concubine, we are still very young." ”

……

Not bad.

All kinds of contradictions and conflicts that occurred before are revolving around the struggle for the country, Wanli still wants to abolish the elder and young, about this, Zhang Cheng, Guo Dan, and Shen Shixing all know that he has been trying his best to impact the religion and the ancestral system in the past two years, which is to pave the way for this.

Before Zhang Youde played, Wanli also planned to abolish the long and young.

He set to appoint the crown prince this year last year, thinking that once Banzhou and Ningxia won, he would have the ability to abolish the elder and establish the young.

But after Zhang Youde played, he changed his mind.

It's getting a little fast, but it's not hard to understand.

The core contradiction in the struggle for the national capital is not the boss and the third, but the imperial power and the vassal power.

But on the other hand, does the specific form of the struggle between imperial power and vassal power have to be manifested in the national capital?

The answer is no.

Imperial power and vassal power can be carried out in various ways, and it does not have to revolve around the national capital.

It's just that Wanli didn't make any achievements in anything before, and after he became in power, he only knew that he was against Zhang Juzheng, but there was no plan to replace Zhang Juzheng, he couldn't come up with a policy, and his martial arts had nothing to do with him, and he had no ability to assert imperial power.

Then if he fights for the country, he can make up for his disadvantages, after all, he is his own son, and as a father, he has more right to speak.

In fact, the emperor likes to assert imperial power through the country, which son he likes is only a secondary reason, and it is impossible for the emperor to pay such a big price for pure feelings, only the imperial power is worth it, and the fight for the country is really not invented by Wanli, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi also did this, but Wanli has been on strike for decades in history, which makes this national capital dispute particularly special.

As for the minister's words, they have always supported the order of the young and the old.

This is pretty much constant.

As a result, the minister is unlikely to provoke a dispute over the country, because there is a faith there.

The historical dispute over the national capital can only be blamed on Wanli, not the minister, he wants to fight for it, but he can't fight for it, I don't know if it's boring.

However, things gradually changed during the struggle over the country.

After fighting and fighting, Wanli suddenly found that he was now expanding his territory externally and promoting reforms internally, and his wealth was also increasing sharply.

One Piece.

Chairman of the Prairie Board.

All of this is thriving!

This fueled his ambitions.

Super Zhang Juzheng?

No, his target is already the Han Wu Tang Sect.

I have to say that the fat house is really inflated, and he feels that he has a fight with those emperors through the ages!

Under this general trend, the battle for the national capital is a bit chicken.

Lao Tzu still wants to live for another 500 years, does it matter who he makes the prince now?

Unimportant!

The most important thing is to dominate the industry.

He is unwilling to delay his ambition for hegemony for the sake of the country's capital.

Of course, he also has a judgment in this, he thinks that even if he wins, it may be a miserable victory, it cannot be a big victory, if the cost of victory is small, then he will do it, the problem is that the cost is too big, he thinks it is not cost-effective.

And one of the key figures is the Empress Dowager Li.

In fact, Wanli played a trick on the abuse of Concubine Wang Gong, he deliberately classified Concubine Wang Gong's new residence into Cining Palace, the purpose of which was to see Empress Dowager Li's attitude towards Concubine Wang Gong.

Because Empress Dowager Li has never expressed her position on this, this makes him very uneasy.

What did the queen mother think?

He has always been afraid of Empress Dowager Li, but this has not changed.

What a smart woman Empress Dowager Li is, of course she can see her son's intentions, she deliberately takes good care of Concubine Wang Gong, in fact, she is showing her attitude to Wanli, I support Zhu Changluo.

If this is said directly, the emperor will be very embarrassed, whether the queen mother has the final say, or the emperor has the final say.

As a virtuous queen, Empress Dowager Li would never say who should be appointed as the crown prince.

Empress Dowager Li's attitude let Wanli know that this was really difficult.

He doesn't cling anymore because he still has a lot to do and doesn't want to waste his energy on this little thing.

Putting aside the imperial power, purely from the perspective of the crown prince, this is really a trivial matter, after all, he is still so young, he can be established today, and he can be abolished tomorrow.

If he is fifty or sixty years old, then nothing is more important than the national capital, it is the top priority, since ancient times, those great emperors, such as the Han Wu and Tang Sects, have dealt with the national capital in their old age, and they don't care very much when they are young, how can they have that kind of kung fu.

But now, career is more important, and love must be put second.

However, this caught the ministers off guard.

When the ministers heard the news, their eyes fell out, and there was silence in the courtroom.

They were all armed to the teeth, just waiting for Wanli to abolish the elder and establish the young, but Wanli suddenly announced the emperor's eldest son as they wished.

This......!

There is no joy of victory at all.

Instead, I was confused!

The ministers were completely confused.

Because the emperor is occupying the initiative at the moment, he is not forced by them to have no choice, but takes the initiative to appoint the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince.

It's not a victory!

So what's next?

Why does this emperor always play cards according to the routine.

Rao is Aunt Xu feels like seeing flowers in ...... fog.

"What did Your Majesty talk to you about that night?"

Aunt Xu couldn't help but ask Guo Dan.

She thinks that Guo Dan changed Wanli's mind.

But she really thought too much.

Guo Dan said truthfully: "Didn't I tell you everything?" ”

"This can't be!" Aunt Xu frowned and said, "If that's the case, Your Majesty obviously still wants to abolish the elder and the younger." ”

Guo Dan smiled and said: "I can't imagine that laymen also have confusion. ”

Aunt Xu was surprised: "You know? ”

Guo Dan nodded.

Aunt Xu hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "You don't know if you see me, my youngest son has just been born, but I have very little time with him, it's not that I don't want to grow up with him, it's just that for men, career is always the most important." Do you really think that the struggle for national capital is more important than expanding the territory and trying to dominate the industry? ”

Aunt Xu suddenly realized.

In fact, Guo Dan also judged that he would abolish Chang Liyu before, but when he learned the news, he immediately reacted, and he was the only one who guessed it.

Because he has never understood why he wants to fight for the country.

It is obviously not worth it to give up reform and expand the territory for the sake of the country.

He just didn't dare say it.

He rarely pays attention to the dispute over the country, and he disagrees with it in his heart.

Wanli did this, he was the most supportive, he smiled and said: "Now it can be regarded as unloading this burden, and you can throw off your arms and do it." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a document from the table and handed it to Aunt Xu.

"What is this?" Aunt Xu took it.

Guo Dan said: "The new insurance clauses, which are mainly to increase the investment regulations of Yinuo insurance, last time they used the government and the people to restrict the granary of Yinuo insurance, this situation can not happen again, misappropriation of the insurance warehouse to get food, it is our power, if we can't use the insurance warehouse to invest, earn more returns, how can we have food to pay them, if they don't accept it, then it is not guaranteed." ”
