Wanli's voice was not loud, so only the officials in the front could hear it, and the officials in the back only saw the emperor speaking in the palace, but they didn't know what the emperor said.

Many officials were quietly leaning forward, trying to hear what the emperor had said. After all, they hadn't heard His Majesty's voice for too many years.

In addition, there has been no court meeting for 25 years, and the officials do not know the rules of the court meeting, and the order must have slowly become chaotic again.

This frightened the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, who were in charge of order, and hurriedly and quietly arranged for manpower to maintain it.

Some officials who did not listen to persuasion were soon warned that if they disturbed the order again, they would be impeached by the imperial history for dishonoring the palace.

was frightened and persuaded again, and finally settled down the order of the court meeting again.

Sun Shenxing, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was worried that the emperor would be angry, but found that the emperor in the palace seemed to be indifferent to the chaos of the court meeting, and did not even stop talking because of this.

Wanli really didn't care, if it weren't for the attack in the East Palace, he wouldn't have bothered to gather this group of officials who were upset when he saw them.

Wanli knew that because he did not go to court all the year round, the officials talked a lot about him, and almost all thought that he, the emperor, was a faint monarch.

In this regard, Wanlai has never explained or refuted. Today he explained, for the first and only time.

Unable to go to court due to foot disease was Wanli's answer to his courtiers.

He was telling the truth.

Since the beginning of spring, Wanli has felt that his body is not as good as before, and his legs and feet have become weaker and weaker. This situation became more serious especially after the shooting.

This made Wanli have to give birth to the feeling that people can't refuse to accept the old man, even if he just made the concubine's belly bigger and added a new Ding to the old Zhu family.

Once people recognize getting old, they will recognize death, even if you are an emperor, you can't avoid the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Therefore, Wanli finally made up his mind to convene a court meeting, and he wanted to end the matter completely. Give yourself an explanation, but also give an explanation to your back.

No matter how much Zhu Changluo dislikes him, he is his son after all, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Wanli will not allow anyone to hurt him!

After explaining to Baiguan why he had not been in court for many years, Wanli dragged his lame leg and walked forward slowly a few steps, and then suddenly raised his voice and said to Baiguan: "The prince is my flesh and blood, the Ming Dynasty, I don't want to have a crazy Zhang Cha to break into the East Palace and hurt people, there is a lot of gossip in the outer court, I ask you, who are you waiting for without father and son, why do you have so much gossip, speculation, do you want to separate my flesh and blood?" ”

Baiguan heard it clearly this time, and there was a sudden silence.

Beneath the silence is a floating heart.

Some people pay attention to the emperor's flesh and blood country, some people pay attention to the discord, and some people pay attention to the emperor's use of the word "crazy" against the assassin Zhang Cha...

There are all kinds of ideas.

Han Yi, a member of the Donglin Party and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, looked sideways at the cabinet minister Fang Congzhe, and found that this Deqing minister seemed to have settled down, as if His Majesty's words just now had not entered the ears of this cabinet minister at all.

"I don't care about the rush to the dynasty today, that is, I want to wait for you to understand the foundation of the country, understand what I think, and then there are vain speculations, and there are many dissenting gossip, I will definitely not tolerate it."

After speaking, Wanli turned to look at the prince and his son standing on the right side of His Royal Highness, and motioned for the prince and the school brother to come to him.

Zhu Changluo's heart jumped, he pressed his excitement, and pulled his school brother to walk towards his father.

Wanli glanced at his son and eldest grandson, suddenly raised one of his son's hands, and said loudly to the hundred officials: "This son is extremely filial, and I cherish it very much!" ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly grabbed the hand of the school brother, and raised his voice again to the hundred officials: "The eldest grandson is smart, and I also cherish it very much." ”

This move made a number of Donglin officials in the palace, such as Han Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Sun Shenxing, and the imperial historian Ding Yuanjian, all of whom were happy.

Although the rest of the officials were not as happy as Donglin, most of them were also relieved, and the officials of Zhejiang, Chu, and Qi who did not deal with the Donglin Party were also sincerely happy for Donggong.

No matter how fierce the party struggle is, it will never dare to mess up the country.

"My mind has been decided, the madman Zhang is almost executed, and no one else can be implicated in this case."

As soon as Wanli spoke, he heard some of the courtiers below shouting, because he was far away and didn't know what to call.

Wanli's face sank, and he asked the chamberlain to ask what the man was shouting.

The person who shouted was Liu Guangfu, the imperial history of the Qi Party, and he shouted in his original words "The world is admired, the emperor is the most loving, and the emperor's eldest son is the most benevolent and filial", but because of the distance, the emperor could not hear clearly.

The fault lies with the inquiring attendant.

Liu Guangfu had previously written to abolish the temporary shops in the palace, which were the source of income for some of the palace attendants, so Liu Guangfu's move offended some eunuchs.

And the inquiring attendant happened to have some dry stocks in these shops, so he deliberately said to Wanli: "Emperor, the official said that I wish the emperor to be kind to the crown prince." ”

When Wanli heard this, he was furious, and said in his heart that this was clearly an accusation that I had been unkind and unkind to the prince in the past, so he shouted sharply: "Where is Jinyiwei? The official was suspicious and separated my father and son, and immediately escorted me to the Criminal Department! ”

Immediately, a Jinyi guard escorted Liu Guangfu down, because the incident happened too quickly, causing Qi Party officials to explain and plead for Liu Guangfu.

Deserve!

Standing not far from Liu Guangfu, Miao Chang gloated, it was Liu Guangfu who wrote a letter to expose Li Sancai's theft of the emperor's mausoleum that made Li Sancai dismissed.

This Qiu Donglin Party has always remembered it.

Today is retribution.

After Liu Guangfu's incident, Wanli was in a bad mood, turned his face and asked the prince: "What else do you have to say about my disposition?" ”

"Father, a crazy person like Zhang Cha, just make a quick decision, you don't need to be connected!"

What can Zhu Changluo think, for fear that his father will worry that he has other thoughts, so he hurriedly said respectfully.

After a pause, Zhu Changluo faced the hundred officials and said: "How dear my father and son are, but there are many discussions in the outer court, do you really want to be a minister without a king, so that I can be an unfilial son?" ”

Wanli listened to it with satisfaction on the side, and looked around at the ministers and the six ministers and nine secretaries: "You all heard it, right?" ”

Without waiting for the important ministers to express their opinions, Fang Congzhe spoke: "The holy oracle has been made clear, and the hearts of the people have been decided, please don't take this matter to heart." ”

This is a tacit acquiescence that the emperor executed Zhang Cha and ended the attack case.

Han Yi and the others were a little unwilling, but seeing that the prince also said that, it was not good to argue about anything. Perhaps, this is also the best ending. The emperor's actions today have once again demonstrated his attitude to the world, and the country will not change.

Wanli did not summon officials on other matters and ordered the court to disperse.

Zhang Wenda, a member of the Donglin Party and a member of the Criminal Department who temporarily signed the Criminal Department, glanced at Fang Congzhe when he left the hall, and it happened that Fang Congzhe was also looking at him, and smiled and nodded at him.

Zhang Wenda said in his heart, this mediocre minister only knows how to welcome the emperor, but he doesn't know that the emperor's actions today have broken the foundation of his Zhejiang party, and it will be difficult for your Zhejiang party to make waves in the future.

Fang Congzhe, whether it was to Zhang Wenda, or to Han Yi, Yang Qiming and other Donglin Party members, was that kind appearance, which made many Donglin Party members think that the head of the Zhejiang Party was showing favor to them, but they didn't know that after the Deqing Xianggong who they called Yongxiang got into the sedan chair after leaving the palace, he let out a sneer in the sedan chair.
