Chapter 912: The second half of the thirteenth year of Wanli

People who are no longer sensitive to politics, after hearing this live drama in the court, know that Wang Tong has returned to Beijing this time, and he will stand firmly in this position. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since Wang Tong said very clearly in the court, the position of the governor of the Jingying was not granted to him as rumored, there was enough weight in the Beijing division, and there were nobles with experience in commanding troops, and this person was inclined to the Wanli Emperor, Xiangchengbo Chen Jinsheng did not surprise others too much, and became the natural candidate.

However, this appointment also feels a bit ironic, Xiangcheng Bo Chen Jinsheng is the governor of the Jingying, but his son is the battalion officer of the warrior battalion, and the Chen family has almost half of the armed forces in Gyeonggi.

It is indeed ironic, Wang Tong has caused a lot of criticism because of this rumor, and the Chen family father and son were appointed, but there was no repercussions.

This is also normal, the noble soldiers generally can't catch the soldiers, just hang a name, and the forbidden army has five battalions, and the eunuchs in the palace are the real supervisors, more than 100,000 in the Beijing camp, and the most core soldiers and horses are in the hands of the generals from the Huwei Martial Arts Pavilion.

The father and son of the Chen family plus the Tang family, the imperial businessman, were considered marginal in the noble circle of the Beijing division back then, but now they are the top families, and the father and son are both in high positions.

There is also an appointment that is not very noticeable, Xu Guangguo, the governor of Weihui Mansion, because of his excellent performance, was promoted to participate in politics as the political envoy of Henan, if this goes further, it is very likely that he is a local political envoy, in charge of the civil affairs of a province, even if he enters Beijing, he is indispensable to the position of a squire.

Some people sighed that Wang Tong had ups and downs, and the people who might have a relationship with him were all rich and noble, Xu Guangguo, a man from a high background, and a fallen nobleman from the Chen family, all had such a status, not to mention the pawns of the peddlers in Jinyiwei, all of whom were prosperous and wealthy.

Since Wang Tong resigned, although the court was burned by the Wanli Emperor and the errand continued, in the past, when Wang Tong was in Beijing, he was summoned privately at least once in three days, but this year, until mid-September, the Wanli Emperor had his first summons, which still belonged to the kind of public meeting similar to the court meeting.

Everyone knows that this is Emperor Wanli who is angry about Wang Tong's resignation, but no one will think that Wang Tong is about to lose power, but will only think that Wang Tong will stand more firmly in the future.

The officials of the court dare to stand up to the emperor in terms of the establishment of the prince, and dare to raise a trivial matter to the level of the sage road, but in the current situation, they also know how to curry favor with the emperor.

Queen Wang is frail and sickly, has no heirs for a long time, and connived at her relatives to run rampant in the countryside, ruining the reputation of the heavenly family, the general reason is these points, the officials have been sparse, please Wanli Emperor to re-establish the queen.

Queen Wang's backer is the Empress Dowager Cisheng, and now the Empress Dowager is out of the palace and is confined to the Marquis of Wuqing to "recuperate", Zheng Guifei's son is the prince, what else is not clear about this situation, everyone has stood on the wrong side in the matter of Lichu, and it is good to make up for the loss of the sheep and flattery Zheng Guifei.

Such a position is changeable, and the people will naturally be sarcastic, but when you become an official, except for those who have some backbones, who cares about this little thing, and this matter is also boiling after the establishment.

The same is true of the matter summoned by the palace, although the following about the queen's recital, Emperor Wanli did not send it, but he still sent the first assistant of the cabinet to Shen Shixing, the second assistant of the cabinet Wang Xijue, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites Zhu Chong, and Wang Tong to discuss this matter, I thought there would be some entanglement, but in fact there was no hindrance.

Emperor Wanli has completely subdued the civil officials in the matter of establishing a prince, and the matter of changing the Empress is just an aftermath, and everyone can't argue.

Zhu Chong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, even suggested the issue of etiquette, but in the end, it was the Wanli Emperor himself who considered it, and felt that there was too much trouble this year, so it was better to change it to the Empress at the beginning of the fourteenth year of Wanli, and everyone agreed.

At the end of October, Wang Tong's family entered Beizhili under the strict escort of the soldiers' personal guards, and in the future, Wang Tong's position was in Beijing, and the family members were naturally here.

Zheng Guifei is now calling for wind and rain in the inner palace, and the relationship between Zheng Guifei and the eunuchs in power Zhang Cheng, Zou Yi, and even Zhao Jinliang is quite friendly, which makes Zheng Guifei's power even more powerful.

There are favored concubines inside, powerful ministers outside, and civil ministers lose power, this structure conforms to most of the so-called dark situations, this adulterous concubine and traitorous ministers collude to frame Zhongliang, there are too many in this drama notes, and there are already literati who have begun to write similar books, and their theaters are ready to rehearse.

For this, Wang Tong just laughed it off, this kind of thing is nothing to him, there is no need to pay too much attention, but Yang Sichen treated it cautiously, and said that the people are ignorant, if the drama is said like this, the people will really think so, and he also invited a group of people to write the drama to prepare for counterattack.

Jingshi, Beizhili, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, these northern provinces, Wang Tong has relatively profitable eyes and ears over there, and after all, it is the north, Jingshi controls more powerfully, about Wang Tong and the discussion of this Jingshi reform, it was quickly suppressed, and soon began to tend to the Wanli Emperor's side, but for Jiangnan, it is completely reversed, that side is the base camp of civil officials and scholars, and the biggest losers of this change are them, so naturally there will be no good public opinion.

Wang Tong is very optimistic about this matter, if it is placed in the past, these grievances in Jiangnan, Wang Tong will not know at all, now, Nanjing Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zhang Liansheng flattered very diligently, all kinds of news are transmitted to the Jingshi side as soon as possible, under the meaning of Wang Tong, Sanjiang Commercial Bank sent a lot of backbones to Jiangnan, there are unlimited business opportunities on the one hand, Wang Tong went once, but also felt that it was necessary to establish his own news channel there.

After being forced into an embarrassing situation twice in the twelfth and thirteenth years of Wanli, Emperor Wanli finally realized that the status of the emperor's son of heaven did not mean that he could control everything, and those below him would obey his orders.

The generals who were originally in Xuanfu and Jizhen and the outer periphery of Gyeonggi were all transferred to Jingying and the forbidden army to lead the troops, and the Wanli Emperor continued to strengthen his control in this regard.

Emperor Wanli is doing these dispatches, but Wang Tong has run Tianjin Wei a few times, although he has stayed stable in Beijing, but Wang Tong also knows that he is powerful, and if he stays in Beijing for a long time, his influence will become greater, and in any case, it will also weaken the power and influence of the Son of Heaven, so it is better to stay away.

Among the maritime forces of Tianjin Wei, according to Tang Shan's private words, Sha Dacheng even received Tianjin Weilai from a one-room house in Nanzhili, and also bought land in the adjacent places of Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, preparing to take root completely, but Shen Vain spent less time in Tianjin.

Zhang Shiqiang's side has already been mixed with Shen Vao's side, whether Shen Vao has a second descendant, there will be a clear return after the New Year this year.

Liaozhen is rejecting Tianjin Wei more and more in this regard, but the transportation advantage of the sea route is too great, and the price advantage of Tianjin Wei's goods is also very great, and it is impossible to drive it out.

But the merchants of Tianjin Wei are more and more excluded from the outside, originally opened in Liaoyang, Shenyang several shops have been driven out, now only in the Liaohe estuary of the Niangniang Palace, Ning Yuanwei's Wanghaitai, and Gaizhou Wei's Lianyun Island three places to open shops, the big businessmen have through various channels and Wang Tong to reflect their concerns, can still make money, what will happen in the future?

However, around the end of October, the sea and rivers were closed, and the only way to go to Yongping Mansion and Shanhaiguan by land was to go to Liaozhen, everything was troublesome, and this matter was not so urgent.

In November, there was something going on in the city of naturalization.

Naturalization City is the salient part of the Ming Dynasty territory in the north, surrounded by enemy countries, it is strange that nothing happens, but this time it is on the side of the Jingshi to set off a storm.

The Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Works, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the Inner Court all have officials stationed in the Naturalization City, some of them are resident, some go in the spring, and come back to return to their lives near the end of the year.

The matter of Naturalization City is very simple, a caravan was plundered when it went to a place in the north of Naturalization City, not every caravan can defend solidly, when the horse thieves came, they could form a car formation and wait to rescue, this caravan was broken into by the horse thieves, and then most of the dead and wounded, and the rest escaped.

According to the rules of the Naturalization City, since it is the caravan registered here that suffers, it is natural to find this field, and the trading house that suffered the loss is also gritting its teeth to mobilize people, and now many of the relatives and noble children of the tribe on the grassland are living inside and outside the Naturalization City, and this cadre is the backbone of the tribe's armed forces, and they see the prosperity of the Naturalization City here, and they all have the meaning of seeking a origin for themselves with the swords and guns in their hands.

This time, in addition to the more than 300 horsemen who should have passed, there were also more than 1,000 people who volunteered to follow outside the city.

However, when the team went out of the city, they could not return empty-handed, so they simply ran east for two more days, found a peripheral tribe of Chahar, washed it directly, and looted the livestock, property and population back to the city of Guihua.

Then the Chahar Department gathered thousands of cavalry to retaliate and intercept the caravan of Guihua City in that direction, and then the various trading houses of Guihua City gathered more than 2,000 guards by themselves, with large carts of firearms, and more than 3,000 city cavalry followed, and defeated those thousands of cavalry.

I don't know how to do it next, because the household member Wailang who played this matter is going to return to Beijing, and after he comes back, he will be impeached, on the grounds that he will provoke the border without permission, invite trouble for the Ming Dynasty, and violate benevolence, and will make all the departments of the grassland centrifugal.
