Wang Xijue is a native of Taicang, Suzhou, with a solid family background, and he has received an extremely good education since he was a child, so the road to study is also smooth sailing. In the forty-first year of Jiajing, at the age of twenty-eight, he left his hometown and went to Beijing to take the exam, and met Shen Shixing by great coincidence. Shen Shixing was also a talent who went to Beijing to catch the exam at that time, and the two of them did not speak, but there was always a feeling of sympathy for each other. Sure enough, Wang Xijue took the first exam, and Shen Shixing was second.

During the palace test, he met Shen Shixing again, and felt that the two of them could compete well when they met opponents. Shen Shixing took the first exam, but he became second.

Folklore has it that he lost to Shen Shixing in the palace exam, and there is still a reason: he is not handsome enough, and his speech is not smooth enough. As for the exact reason, no one knows, but one thing is for sure, this benevolent brother may be relatively niche in appearance, and his speech is not very likable. But that's not a good enough reason.

Since entering the imperial court, Wang Xijue has vividly expressed his stubborn and stubborn temper: when Zhang Juzheng was robbed of love in the fifth year of Wanli, everyone was just making trouble, he felt that it was not enough, so he had to go to someone's house to make trouble. Zhang Juzheng had no choice, so he took a knife and put it on his neck: Instead of humiliating me like this, you should kill me! Wang Xijue was dumbfounded and ran out of the door in a panic. Wu Zhongxing was beaten to death, everyone just quarreled and scolded at home, but he had to run to the court and cry.

In the sixth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng couldn't keep filial piety to his wife and had to return to the dynasty to work, and everyone celebrated for this: look at how dedicated and dedicated Zhang is! But he just wanted to ask for leave at this time: my father and mother are still alive, I have to go back to see them, in case something happens, I will never be able to fulfill my filial piety in the future. As soon as this incident came out, everyone was a little puzzled, aren't you just having trouble with Lord Shousuke? Zhang Juzheng hated it so much, but there was no way at all, people wanted to go home to see their mother, it was reasonable and legal, what could he say?

In the ninth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng was terminally ill, and many people went to visit him and pulled him along, but he resolutely refused: What does it matter to me whether he is dead or alive? I'm out of office when he's sick? Isn't that? Don't go, resolutely don't go! A lot of people don't understand, why do you say you have to fight with a half-dead person?

Under the wise leadership of Wanli, the oral and written criticism and comprehensive negation of the bandit Zhang Juzheng were launched in an all-round way. Everyone actively participated in the criticism of him, resolutely supported the new cabinet's rehabilitation of officials who were wrongly convicted and wrongfully sentenced to death during the Zhang Juzheng period, and unanimously expressed their strong dissatisfaction with the policies of the Zhang Juzheng period! Someone pulled Wang Xijue together: You must participate in such political activities, the new team is on stage, don't stand in the wrong team! He stood up and yelled at everyone: Is everything Zhang Juzheng doing wrong? He may not be a good person, but he is dedicated to Daming, and he still has merit to Daming! A total denial of him is equivalent to a total denial of the emperor! There was silence.

In the thirteenth year of Wanli, his student Li Zhi wanted to find an excuse to get Shen Shixing down and let him take his position: his teacher became the first assistant, how could he be worse? But he never expected that Wang Xijue's face darkened at that time: How can your teacher be that kind of despicable villain? There are many ways to do this, but I definitely don't need such a cheap way! Without saying a word, he applied to the emperor for his resignation.

It didn't take long for his son to take the first place in the township exam, and some people privately suspected that he must have cheated! Otherwise, it would be such a coincidence, and the township test would be the same as his Lao Tzu? In order to justify his name, Wang Xijue resolutely prevented his son from taking the examination, and warned him that you don't have to think about being an official in this life! Even if you become an official, others will look down on you!

Wanli listened to the careful report of the wolf pack, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, such a talent is the person he needs the most now! can withstand such the test of time, and be so harsh on himself, if he is not a great sage, he must be a traitor! Without any further consideration, immediately send the wolves to invite someone, and the request must be respectful, please not kidnap! He knew too well about the style of the wolves, for fear that he would lose this last straw.

Wang Xijue is indeed worthy of his reputation, and after a few days of wandering around Beijing, he has found out the official voice and people's feelings, and he immediately has a number in his heart. The key to this matter is the emperor's own body. He immediately presented a secret letter to the emperor, in which he spoke with great sincerity and urgency: the current situation is not ordinarily critical, the emperor must appoint the crown prince next year, and now you must issue a holy decree to formally indicate the timetable for the establishment of the crown prince, otherwise it will be impossible to control it immediately, and the ministers can no longer do anything!

Zhu Yidao stayed at the station of the right place in Beijing at this time, and listened to Jiang Fei tell him about the royal rules and ancestral teachings of the Ming Dynasty. When Jiang Fei said that under normal circumstances, the crown prince must be canonized before the prince succeeds to the throne, but the rule of canonizing the prince is to establish a prince but not a prince, that is, only the first son born to the queen of the main family of the emperor, not in the order of the eldest and youngest of the prince. But if there is really no son-in-law, then you can only be flexible and set up the eldest son, and you can't do it at will.

But now the emperor has no concubine, Lao Zhu suddenly remembered this, the queen has not given birth so far, the eldest son of the emperor is only born to a concubine, and even the third prince is only born to a concubine, and Zheng Guifei was also named a concubine after giving birth to the third prince. This queen doesn't have a son, this thing is not easy to do!

But it's an opportunity! A great opportunity! Zhu Yidao suddenly thought of something, and suddenly jumped three feet high!

Wanli learned well this time, and no longer let those unreliable chamberlains send letters, but changed to wolves, and sent a reply to Wang Xijue in disguise late at night. But when Wang Xijue opened the secret letter and looked at it, he was immediately petrified:

"I am deeply moved by your loyalty, but I have said that the canonization will not be done until next year, and since this matter is out of my mouth, it should not be changed by the holy decree. But I read the ancestral precepts last night, and the Taizu had a precept saying: Establish a successor but not a long. Now the queen is still young, if she gives birth to a prince in the future, what can she do? Is it the crown prince? Is it a king? If he is crowned king, it will violate the ancestral teachings and be in line with the etiquette system; If you are crowned prince, won't there be two princes? I felt deeply embarrassed, and thought for a night, if the three princes were all crowned kings, a few years later, if the queen really had no children, it would not be too late to make the eldest son. In this way, it does not violate the ancestral system, but also can end this matter, which is very good! Thou shalt do so. ”

This...... Wang Xijue felt a little dizzy, but the situation is true, the queen can't give birth now, it doesn't mean that she can't give birth in the future! If the prince is born in the future, and the prince is established early, won't it be even more troublesome in the future? However, he couldn't completely do what the emperor wanted, he thought about it and came up with his own set of plans: it is better to let the emperor's eldest son worship the queen as his mother, so that he is both the eldest son and the son-in-law, and the matter will be solved; It's really not good, and then the three princes are named Wang Wanli has actually done this, he named the three princes as the Fu King, but it is just a name, and it is not given a fief and a mansion, etc., only in the palace. The purpose is also to reassure the ministers. But this is what makes the ministers feel panicked, and if they don't set up a prince now, I'm afraid it's too late!

This is the meaning of Wanli. Wang Xijue has been wise all his life, but now he was completely stunned by the emperor and fell into the trap of Wanli. After a period of planning, Wanli suddenly made a holy decree to the world: "I have three sons, young and orderly. Taizu said that the heirs do not stand up. However, there is no concubine now, the queen is still young, and if she gives birth to a concubine in the future, it is unknown. If you don't make all three sons kings, if you have a son-in-law in the future, you will make your son-in-law the prince; If not, the firstborn son is appointed. I have made up my mind that this matter will be announced to the world, and you will do it accordingly. ”

As soon as this decree reached the Ministry of Rites, it immediately caused a huge wave! What's going on? For such a big thing, why didn't there be any movement in advance? The three princes are indeed called King Fu, but everyone thinks that it is precisely because the emperor has no intention of setting him up that he is called the prince early. But what is this now? Even the eldest son of the emperor wants to be crowned king! This is so abnormal! How could the Cabinet approve such a bad idea?

So as soon as the Ministry of Rites and several people headed by the Ministry of Rites summed up, they simply went directly to the cabinet to ask, what is going on?

As a result, when they arrived at the cabinet and saw such a holy decree, Zhao Zhigao and Zhang Wei were also dumbfounded. What holy decree, what three kings are sealed, I don't know at all! Is Lord Wang Xijue asleep? How could he bypass the rest of the cabinet and send this decree without permission? As soon as the adults in the Ministry of Rites saw this scene, the other two people in the Cabinet didn't know, so it must be Wang Xijue who could do it!

Isn't that? The number of times Queen Wanli Linxing has been counted, and she can count it on five fingers! Moreover, the queen was unable to have children in the first place, although it was not confirmed, but this is indeed a big scandal in the harem! As for having a son, it is even more impossible! What kind of three kings are sealed, it's just nonsense, the emperor is unwilling to set up a prince and deliberately did it, Wang Xijue, you have been in the court for so many years, why can't you even see this?

The Manchu dynasty was shaken again. Now not only the officials, but even the six departments and six sections of the cabinet and even the local officials are nervously waiting for the arrival of the next storm! The emperor actually came up with such a bad idea, and he also talked about Zu Xun, what is the establishment of a successor or not, Zu Xun did not say, the three princes and crowned as kings! How can there be such a reason in the world, the emperor drags on and does not establish a prince, doesn't this mean that the world will be in chaos?
