If the common people raised their concubines to the main house, at best, it would be a topic of conversation on the streets, but Emperor Wanli promoted the concubines in his harem to concubines, which caused an uproar among the government and the opposition. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Emperor Wanli only got married the year before last, and only accepted the concubines under Zhang Juzheng's advice last year, and the concubines in the palace could not form any forces, and they had no time to operate, Zheng Shufei was smart and sensible, and won the favor of several great eunuchs, so there was no resistance in the inner court, but the outer court was different.

Whose daughter has become noble in the harem, whose family's status outside is also rising, and the officials who have befriended him have also risen with the tide, which will cause a change in the strength of the faction.

Of course, there are also some nerds who are clear in science and clear streams, and who have broken their brains by reading books, thinking that the Son of Heaven is not in line with the etiquette system, and he has not been promoted step by step, and the Son of Heaven is a model and model in the world, and the Son of Heaven cannot make a little mistake, and this kind of unruly thing naturally has to be discouraged and admonished.

As for the bigwigs in the court, they don't want to see Emperor Wanli make any moves that break the traditions and rules, and see the big from the small, and today a lady in the inner palace will be raised to a concubine, what will happen tomorrow, if this matter is successfully completed, will a principal be put directly into the cabinet tomorrow?

With their acquiescence and even instruction, the court, officials of all sizes, naturally went up and down to advise them, believing that they should not violate the ancestral system.

If it is said that the ordinary things in the palace, the foreign ministers are so difficult, the Empress Dowager Li will be furious, but this promotion of the concubine to the concubine vaguely touched some of the past of the Empress Dowager Li, who has been a concubine and a concubine, and the Empress Dowager Li, who has been a concubine and a concubine, always has some feelings for such things, not to mention that the queen was personally selected by her, so the Empress Dowager Li remained silent in this matter.

Wang Tong came to Beijing quickly, and when he entered Beijing, Lu Wancai, the general judge of Shuntianfu, personally welcomed him into the city, but he didn't have time to set up a banquet to catch the wind, but just told him about these things on the way, so that he probably knew about the recent major events in Beijing.

Regardless of Wang Tong or Lu Wancai, they probably didn't expect that in the delicious restaurant in the south of the imperial city, Emperor Wanli actually asked this question.

The Son of Heaven asked his subordinates about family affairs, or such things involving harem concubines, it was indeed not in accordance with the rules of etiquette, Wang Tong did not expect it, he was quite stunned, and couldn't help but glance up at Zhang Cheng behind Emperor Wanli, but saw Zhang Cheng with a wry smile on his face, but Emperor Wanli leaned forward and stared at him quite intently.

Wang Tong hesitated, and said in a deep voice:

"Back to Your Majesty, who does Your Majesty want to be a concubine, this is Your Majesty's family matter, Your Majesty is in charge, and those who are courtiers are not qualified to speak, and the ministers look at it like this!"

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli subconsciously thought that Wang Tong was playing sloppy, and Kao was a little disappointed to the back of the chair, but the next moment he immediately reacted, clapped his palms, and said excitedly:

"You're right, Concubine Zheng is my woman, my private affairs, what are they talking nonsense, is it possible for me to do something with women, and I want a cabinet vote."

Wang Tong couldn't take it, but he could also feel that Emperor Wanli's inquiry was not really to give any advice to himself, it was more like letting close people speak and strengthen his confidence.

Thinking of this, Wang Tong was also a little awe-inspiring in his heart, Emperor Wanli is older, and he is becoming more and more assertive, so his attitude towards getting along with the emperor must also be adjusted, and the elements of friendship in the past should be reduced, and the respect between monarchs and ministers should be increased.

In that life in the workplace, from the former colleagues at the same level to superiors, even if the relationship is good, but the rules and respect can not be ambiguous, otherwise it is easy to make people dissatisfied, the workplace and officialdom have a lot in common, Wang Tong understands in his heart, and is naturally cautious.

Emperor Wanli was extremely satisfied with Wang Tong's response and attitude, and it was really his own strength and subordinates, who listened to his own words and thought about his own family in everything, rather than considering the attitude and opinions of the queen mother.

Emperor Wanli nodded and said:

"Xiaoliang, Xuanhutou and a few of them come in!"

Zhao Jinliang, who was standing by the door of the delicious restaurant, heard it, and hurriedly bowed down to agree, Xian opened the cotton curtain and called people in, Li Hutou, Li Tao and Sun Xin were all wearing armor, and the weapons were naturally handed over to the guards outside, and as soon as they entered the door, they knelt on the ground according to etiquette and kowtowed.

Seeing the three of them, Emperor Wanli couldn't help but stand up from his chair and took a step forward excitedly, Zhang Cheng coughed lightly behind his back, and the emperor reacted and sat down, and said:

"All of you Aiqing are flat, we have not seen each other for a long time, hurry up, hurry up!!"

The three of them all stood up, Li Hutou wanted to open his mouth to speak, Wang Tong glanced back at him, and hurriedly bowed his head respectfully, Emperor Wanli pointed at the three of them with his finger, and said with a smile:

"When I was separated in the martial arts hall, I never imagined that Hutou, Li Tao, and Sun Xin would be of such great use so soon, and they should be praised for their contributions to the country and thieves, and let the people of the world know the truth of serving the country loyally."

According to the rules, when the emperor said this, Li Hu and the other three should kneel down to thank him, and the three of them were just about to kneel, but Emperor Wanli waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to be like this, and he disappeared his smile and said solemnly:

"You also know that people everywhere can't see me rewarding you, you have made meritorious contributions in Xuanfu, and this time you have made great contributions, Xuanfu and Jizhen are both rewards from high-ranking officials, but a few of you can only be promoted to one level, which is unfair to you, and I also know."

Wang Tong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty, the Huwei Battalion is fighting for Your Majesty, not for the official reward!"

"I know, I know, otherwise Qi Jiguang wouldn't have found you, not to mention that you killed so many enemies on the grassland, even if you don't care about life and death, taking into account the overall situation, it is also a great achievement, alas, it's a pity that when I speak, only Zhang Companion listens, only you listen."

After saying what should have been said, Wang Tong stopped speaking, and Emperor Wanli sighed a few words, was silent for a while, and then said:

"Wang Tong and I said, I am still young, I can afford to wait, you are the same age as me, the tiger head is a few years younger than me, you are also young, you can also afford to wait, this military merit reward, past and future military merit rewards, I remember it in my heart, there will be a day when it will be honored!!"

These words were extremely solemn, and Wang Tong knelt down together and thanked them solemnly.

When Wang Tong and others were facing the saint in Beijing, the Jizhen team escorting the Tatar Wanhu Najit also arrived in Shunyi County, and returned from a great victory.

Li Rusong, the chief officer of Xuanfu, led the army back, and swept the small tribes along the way, Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen, led the troops back to Jizhen, and also swept along the way, after this war, Jizhen to the north of the border wall of Xuanfu within 200 miles, I am afraid that there will be no threat in ten years.

The general who captured the Ministry of Answering should sacrifice prisoners in Taimiao, such a big ceremony, in addition to the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials to attend, Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong also have to participate, calculating the time to sweep the army, the earliest is from February to March.

Anyway, the time is not in a hurry, and the general team of the guards who escorted the prisoners is not going fast, such a big victory, the northern prefectures and counties are also happy, and the hospitality of the local government is extraordinarily attentive, there is wine and meat, and everyone is happy at the beginning of the first month.

People are divided into three, six, nine and so are the captives, although the captured Najit is in the cage, but the cage is covered with felt, so that it is easy to be led out, and the three meals are also the same treatment as the escorted soldiers, after all, the Son of Heaven still needs to see, and it can't be too much.

After being stationed outside the city of Shunyi, the government and the local squires beat gongs and drums to send wine, meat, pigs and sheep, and asked this Qian general to talk about the victory in the evening, and the rest of the soldiers were fine grains and wine and meat, and they were also very happy.

As for Najit in the cage, no one paid attention to it, there were a few soldiers guarding the cage, and the companions were happy there, but their own family could only be on duty here with a cold wind, all of them were full of reluctance.

The darker it gets, the more impatient I become, and at dinner, some men come over with food, and give it to the soldiers, and some of them to eat, and what they eat for the soldiers are hot steamed buns, stewed meat, and for the Najit, it is dry and hard cold cakes.

Although the treatment of soldiers and prisoners is different this time, who cares about this matter, the soldiers of Jizhen have been fighting with the Tartars for many years, so naturally they will not have any kindness to the Tartars, so they threw the cold cakes to Najit and ate them together.

After only half eating, they heard the painful roar of the Tatar leader in the cage, and everyone realized that something was wrong.

This is a person who is going to Beijing to sacrifice prisoners, and it is a disaster to die in Shunyi County, and the county yamen is busy sending a servant, and the cause of death is quickly found out, Najit ate a cake with arsenic, and died of severe poison.

And there was no one to arrange for the soldiers guarding the cage to deliver food, who would come and poison this captive, this captive is now meaningless, what is the use of killing him.

But Shunyi County and the Jizhen soldiers who escorted the captives were unwilling to take this responsibility, knowing that this matter was all related people, they simply concealed it, only saying that the leader of the Tartars died of a sudden illness halfway, anyway, the level of this violent person will not be sent to the Jingshi to see, after all, the dead are Tartar prisoners, and there will not be too many people concerned.

"Are you sure you're dead?"

"Second master, don't worry, the little one sent things in, and he came back after getting a letter in Shunyi!"

"....... don't stay in Jingshi, go to Fenzhou once and let the Yu family rest assured......"
