However, the young emperor refused to taste the bitterness of being forced to admit his mistakes, and he could not see his authority, and in the process of submission again and again, it was worn away little by little. Emperor Wanli had realized that he could not compete with the civil official group on his own, and he had to increase his assistance. In line with the principle that the more the enemy vetoes, the more we must adhere to it, he decided to put aside the outer court and directly give the inner factory investigation,

arrest, as well as the power to control the North and South Pacification Divisions.

With the support of the emperor, the inner factory of 1 Lou Lou the superior supervisor of the North and South Zhenfu Division, after some purging, at least mastered this powerful secret service in terms of the general situation, and immediately gave the Manchu officials a little color...... He detained several activists who had been involved in the veto of spy politics and destroyed two newspapers that had made a statement.

The civil officials naturally hated the emperor's perverse behavior.

Middle- and lower-level officials wrote one after another, and several cabinet scholars and six ministers and nine secretaries also intervened, asking the emperor to release the arrested officials and newspaper owners. Officials in Nanjing and other provinces are also echoing, and more than 100 copies of the recitals are sent to the General Administration Department every day.

Wanli also accumulated some experience in struggle, and he himself could not reason with the ministers, so he simply adopted the policy of "not going to the court, not looking at the book, and not criticizing the red, and did not meet with them, nor did they look at their recitals, and matched the foreign court with silence."

There was no reply to the ministers' recitals, and according to Chen's five affairs, the six departments should be discussed and understood in the matter, and the ministers concerned could also ask for a face to face and ask the emperor to give an answer in person.

So a few days after the stone sank into the sea, the six departments gave the matter, as well as a number of officials from the book, made an appointment to come to the Huangji Gate to knock on the news, but they were blocked out of the palace gate.

Today, the specifications of the Huangji Gate have also been improved, it is Sun Hai, the governor of the inner factory, who is personally in charge, and the forbidden door is full of brocade guards, and inside the forbidden door is the inner factory fan wearing orange soft armor and black leather boots.

No matter how the civil officials negotiated, Sun Hai ignored it and did not let anyone into the palace. Among the civil officials, Wei Xuezeng, a member of the Cabinet University, separated everyone and climbed the steps of the forbidden gate, looked at Sun Haidao coldly: "Grandpa Sun, what is going on?" The cabinet has not received a concert from the palace for two days, and there are so many official affairs in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and they can't afford to delay it for a day! What the hell are we going to do? Does the emperor know these things? Sun Hai was still respectful, but Wei Dacannon's repeated questions made him lose a smile on his face: "Didn't Wei Ge hear what our family answered them just now?" Our family is just acting according to orders, what the emperor tells us to do, our family will do! Our family must not be like some people, with the ability to veto the emperor! Wei Xue used to be an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he was old and virtuous, but now he was ridiculed in public by Sun Hai, and the blood in his heart turned upside down: "Sun Hai, do you still want to vote for the official documents of various ministries?" If you miss the affairs of the hundred officials and the affairs of the world, you will be responsible? ”

When he arrived at the sea, he said coldly: "That's right." If there is a business matter, it will be a business matter, and since Wei Ge Lao asked here, we will tell you all about it. The emperor has already made a will, and in view of the recent increase in the number of chapters, most of them are empty words. From today onwards, the question books of the various ministries will be sent and received as usual, the votes will be drafted, and the red will be approved by the red, and the state affairs will not be delayed.

As for the official's personal recital, the celebrant also accepted it, but he was ashamed, the emperor didn't have time to read it, ..............." At this point, he smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you understand? "Then why is the question book of our science and technology also detained!" The officials were not angry: "The ancestors set up the officials to let us go up and advise the king." Now that the emperor is all in the middle of the country, what's the use of us officials! "Our family is just sending a message to the emperor, and we won't answer anything else." Sun Hai couldn't answer, so he simply said: "Our family won't bother talking anymore, please take care of it." After that, he went into the Huangji Gate duty room to drink tea, and he didn't pay attention to the noise outside.

The ministers made a noise, but Xiucai met the soldiers, and after being exhausted, they could only disperse first.

Out of the desire for revenge, the Wanli Emperor began to slack off, because his civil official group was only nominally under his leadership, but he was not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Wanli didn't know, in fact, this was not the ministers targeting him, but the civil official group matured, naturally rejected the high imperial power, what they needed was a symbol of the mandate of heaven, not a strong emperor who disrupted the operation of the administrative system with his status and power. Emperor Longqing accepted this reality, so he reigned for six years in peace and stability, and the monarchs and ministers went their own way without interfering with each other. However, Wanli's goal was Naizu, not his father, who was a bit of a wimp in his eyes, and he hoped to be an emperor with absolute authority, but this wish could not be realized, so he was depressed.

He thought that after regaining possession of the factory guards, he would become a power. However, the fuller the ideal, the more backbone the reality, after the initial excitement, he was disappointed to find that the big killer of the factory guard is really not very useful. You must know that since its birth, the civilian clique has almost always been accompanied by factory and health agents, but it has still grown and become the de facto power of the country.

Obviously, wanting to rely on the factory guards to clamp down on civil officials is just the emperor's wishful thinking.

The reason is very simple, that is, the original intention of the founding father to create spy politics was to prevent someone from rebelling and threatening the throne of the Zhu family, so he set up Jinyiwei to monitor hundreds of officials, and he was not at ease with Jinyiwei, and set up Dongchang to monitor. Later, the emperor was not at ease with the East Factory, and set up a West Factory to monitor the ...... The purpose of a persecuted paranoiac is very clear: to avoid rebellion!

But...... The civilian clique is inherently lacking in the ability and emotion to rebel. They advocate the power of order and are extremely disgusted with violence. Not only did the civil officials not have any rebellion, but they were even watching the emperor all the time, where there were signs of threatening the Zhu family.

If they say that if the name is not right, their words will not go well, and if they do not go well, they will not succeed, and their every move is just and bright... Even if it is a dirty dark thought, they will find a high-sounding reason and make people speechless. Because there are officials who are more spy than spies are always watching, as long as they are a little less careful, they will be impeached.

For such a group that does not rebel and pays attention to things, the influence of spy politics is weakened, even if it catches the sore spot of a certain minister, it will only cause the replacement of a certain official position, which not only does not affect the overall operation of the group, but has become a kind of supervision outside the system, prompting the civil officials to be strict with themselves, and the somewhat loose officialdom atmosphere because of Zhang Juzheng's departure has been reinvigorated......

Wanli can't directly arrest and beat disobedient civil officials, because he knows that the operation of the country is inseparable from these guys. The ministers' years of earnest teaching, although it seems to be a failure, but they have to leave an imprint in the emperor's heart, he knows that the Ming Dynasty from the devastated Jiajing Middle Age, to the present has a great revival, how difficult it is during the period. He knew that since Yongle, the frontier of the Ming Dynasty had not been as peaceful as it is now, and he knew that all this was the credit of those disobedient civil officials, and the peace and tranquility of the country could not be separated from those capable civil officials, but the strong civil official group would make him, the emperor, marginalized. Governed by this ambivalence, Wanli could only express his dissatisfaction in silence, and he neither forced his ministers to accept his ideas nor vetoed them, but ignored everything.

Although the ministers were eager for the emperor to ignore the government, it did not mean that they agreed with the emperor to throw away the general situation and effort.

The emperor often did not go to court for several months, and the protests were inexhaustible, and Wanli did not reply. Because he knew that as long as Zhu Zhu criticized the script, regardless of whether it was a refutation or a sober argument, the city would attract the continued criticism of those ministers, so as to achieve their goal of selling their fame and selling their reputation. The best thing to do is to keep these abominable notes out there!

However, to the emperor's deep sorrow, his passive slackness did not paralyze the imperial court. The civil official group has long been operating safely for many years without the intervention of the emperor, and there has long been a set of mature reference norms for what to do and what to do, so after persisting for a year and a half, the emperor desperately realized that even if he does not go to court in his life, the country will still operate as usual, and in the end, what will be completely forgotten can only be himself, the emperor, ................

One by one, one by one, and one by one, and the spring of the eighth year of Wanli in a blink of an eye. Hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids in the Forbidden City have replaced their furs with silk: they have taken flowers out of the conservatory according to the solar terms, swept out the imperial garden, dredged the royal ditch smoothly, and prepared for the mid-spring season.

However, all this must not be changed, the emptiness and loneliness in this world of balustrades and palace walls. In the time that passes according to a constant rhythm, there is a corrupt and cold atmosphere that envelops everything, and even if you are a son of heaven, it is difficult to change......

In depression and anxiety, Wanli spent his eighteenth birthday. In the past two years, the emperor has imprisoned himself in the deep palace built with a railing and jade, and has never stepped out of the imperial gate. He has lost interest in the lack of interest in the queen Wang, in addition to reading books and playing chess, in order to pass the boring time, Wanli ordered the eunuchs and palace ladies to disguise themselves as merchants to set up shops in Ouchi, simulating a kind of market life. He put on ordinary clothes, if he pretended to be in the crowd, in fact, the buyers and sellers, and the pedestrians in the market were all palace people pretending, but the emperor had never seen the situation outside, and he didn't feel that he had come to be fake.

At first, the people in the palace thought that this was just a whim of young people, and they were not interested in it for a long time. However, Wanli was addicted to this kind of game, he not only designed his identity, but also started a serious business as a merchant, although the business was good, at most an hour a day, he could sell all the goods.

Then Wanli continued to walk the streets with the money he earned, and when he saw the tools he liked, he bargained with the store. When he was tired of shopping, he asked for a bowl of noodles in the restaurant and ate them one by one.

Sometimes Wanli is a little more interested, and he will go to the theater to listen to the play, and then return to his own "private house, fall asleep in the middle, and then walk the streets and alleys the next day."

The emperor's reputation for idleness has long spread, but Wanli is out of sight and still goes his own way. Because only then will he forget his identity, put those chagrin and sorrow behind, and feel life calmly.

However, people can't be self-paralyzed for a lifetime, and there will always be a day when they wake up. Not long after Wanli's eighteenth birthday, he watched the Huayue Cihuan Ji performed by the palace opera troupe in that theater, in which the powerful ministers were arrogant and the monarch was depressed. After a depressed time, the monarch in the play sighed and sang "The government is better than Ning, and the sacrifice is outnumbered" in the left biography, which means that important political affairs are arranged by Ning, and as a monarch, he can only preside over rituals such as sacrifices.

The monarch on the stage was full of sorrow, and the emperor under the stage looked gloomy, he didn't know whether the palace people had intentionally or unintentionally arranged this play, "The government is by the Ning family, and the sacrifice is widowed, these eight words clearly shattered some tools in his heart, so that he could no longer be numb.

sang the stage, but saw the emperor get up and leave, the actors couldn't help but look at each other, could it be that our illusion was smashed?

After leaving the theater, Wanli took off his civilian clothes and changed back into his black embroidered gold dragon robe. He finally realized that no matter how perfect self-hypnosis was, he would not really become a carefree old man. The frustration is there, escape is not the way, only by solving the loss, can there really be no chagrin!

After two years of depression, the emperor finally picked himself up and wanted to challenge the powerful enemy again!

However, the lessons of the past had to be learned, and in the past two years, the monarchy has been weakened, and the power of the civilian clique has become even more arrogant. Through Jingcha last year, Shen Mo degraded or transferred a group of royalists out of the central government, and Zhang Siwei had become a bare-bones commander, and he couldn't count on it at all.

The emperor was well aware that two years ago he wanted to win by conventional means, but the result was a complete defeat.

If we don't accept the lesson now, and try to defeat the civilian officials with political skills, we will only lose even worse, and there is no other possibility.

But this doesn't mean that the emperor has no choice, even if he is escaping in the past two years, he can't control himself to imagine, how can he get out of the current situation and become a veritable monarch with great power? The first thing to do was to free his court from the influence of silence!

The emperor knows very well that as long as the silence is not removed for a day, this Ming Dynasty will not be able to call its own hands!

Wanli has long understood the weakness of silence, no matter how strong the political force is, he must not change the fact that he is cowardly! @
