Zhou Yongchun originally planned that not only all the officials of the Donglin Party should be expelled from the capital, but also the officials of the two capitals who were close to Donglin would also take advantage of this Beijing inspection or crown to live idle, or demote and transfer out of Beijing, and the three parties of Zhejiang, Chu and Qi wanted to unify the government, but Wang Dazhi, who was in power in the Wenxuan Shilang, changed his mind at the last moment, and only included the six Donglin officials in the inspection, and let go of a group of officials who were close to the Donglin Party, such as Zuo Chunfang's left concubine Sun Chengzong, and the right concubine of the right Chunfang Cheng Jiming, Ren Hu Branch gave Yang Lian, who was less than two years in the matter...... Wang Dazhi explained that if it was too widely implicated, it would cause the emperor's disgust, and it was not impossible to issue an order to cancel this Jingcha, after all, Ding Si Jingcha had not been approved by the emperor-

Yao Zongwen and Wang Dazhi argued for a long time, but Wang Dazhi had made up his mind, Zheng Jizhi, the secretary of the ministry, supported Wang Dazhi, and the leader of the Qi Party, Qi Shijiao, did not fight, Yao Zongwen had no choice but to give up, and now the officials who are inspected are below the fifth grade (including the fifth grade), and Weng Zhengchun and Sun Shenxing, these Donglin bigwigs above the fourth grade, are still waiting for Yao Zongwen and them to pick up the impeachment -

Wu Daonan, who was in the cabinet room, looked at the inspection sent by the ministry, and sighed softly, Jingcha is the authority of the ministry, and the cabinet has no right to intervene, not to mention that the first assistant Fang Congzhe supported the three parties to preside over this Jingcha, he Wu Daonan was alone, fortunately, the three parties were not too widely implicated, but the six Donglin officials who were listed in the inspection seemed to be unable to keep it-

On the sixth day of the first month of March, Chashu was presented to the Wanli Emperor, and the first assistant Fang Congzhe also had an explanation of the Songshu, counting the harm of the postponement of the Beijing Inspection, and understanding the officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate without the approval of the emperor to hold the Beijing official inspection as loyal to the monarch and patriotism.

Since the emperor has approved the inspection, it means that the emperor agrees to hold the Beijing inspection, and the officials above the fourth rank must report to the emperor within seven days after the approval of the inspection. It also has to be announced to the six departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so it is not okay for officials to hide their beauty and evil when they report on their work, and they have the right to pick up the relics of the Taiyuan officials who are responsible for supervising the affairs and the imperial historians, and the so-called collection is to help the officials recall. For example, what went wrong during his tenure, who bribes he received, whether his family members bent the law, high-ranking officials above the fourth rank have extensive contacts, clan family members are involved a lot, and no one is perfect, there is always something to be left behind, so once he is picked up, this official can only resign from the top, and most of the current officials are members of the three parties. is searching for the shortcomings and mistakes of those high-ranking officials in Donglin in many ways, and if there is nothing to do, it will be said that it is a big crime, and it is necessary to use the relics to expel Weng Zhengchun, Sun Shenxing and others from the capital-

Yao Zongwen knew that Wang Dazhi had a good relationship with Zhang Yuan, and Wang Dazhi's soft-heartedness this time may be related to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan stayed out of Ding Sijingcha, secretly opened his eyes for Donglin, and disturbed the unity of the three parties, which was what Yao Zongwen was most annoyed by. But for the time being, there was no way to take Zhang Yuan, and he was worried that Zhang Yuan would regenerate the turmoil in the later gleupping, so Yao Zongwen suggested that Shao Fuzhong of the Ministry of Rites should go to the emperor again. Requesting to issue an edict to canonize the prince of Joseon as soon as possible, Yao Zongwen meant that Zhang Yuan was going to North Korea, so hurry up and leave-

On March 12, under the edict, Enzhun canonized the Korean prince Li Ji as the prince of the Joseon Dynasty, and appointed Zhang Yuan as the canonization envoy of the Hanlin Academy, and because he was the prince of the Joseon Dynasty, Zhang Yuan was specially appointed as the right Chunfang right Zanshan of the Zhan Shifu, and the Zhan Shifu was in charge of the affairs of the East Palace. Zhang Yuan, as a subordinate official of the East Palace, is the most suitable to envoy the Korean State to canonize his son, and the official rank of Right Chunfang Right Zanshan is the same as that of the Hanlin Academy, which is from the sixth rank official, not a promotion, but from the Hanlin Academy to the Zhan Shifu is an accumulation of qualifications, which is very helpful for Zhang Yuan's future promotion——...,

The grace of heaven is immense, and the major event of canonization has finally been determined. North Korean envoy Liu Dongming, Xu Yun and others are happy, every day in the Ministry of Rites Yamen urged the Celestial Empire mission to set off as soon as possible, the eighth day of the fifth month is the birthday of the prince Li Zhen, the itinerary is urgent, the canonization of the envoy is set by the emperor, the deputy envoy is appointed by the Ministry of Rites and the pedestrian department, the pedestrian division ordered Ruan Dacheng as a deputy envoy to go to North Korea with Zhang Yuan, Ruan Dacheng, who was born as a rich son, thought it was bitter, and the happy envoy was Zhang Yuan, who has always had a good relationship, can speak, then take a trip, who made his official position an eight-grade pedestrian.

On 13 March, he went to the Ministry of Rites to receive the edict of canonization, and agreed with Ruan Dacheng, Liu Dongming, and others that the date of leaving Beijing was 22 March, and the other members of the mission should be determined as soon as possible;

On the morning of March 14, Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng visited Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Sigong ordered Zhen Zidan to lead 60 Jinyi Wei lieutenants to escort Zhang Yuan's envoy, Luo Sigong knew that Zhang Yuan and Zhen Zidan knew each other, so he ordered Zhen Zidan to go with him, Zhen Zidan made meritorious contributions in the Jurchen treachery case at the end of last year, and was promoted from 100 households to deputy 1,000 households. Zhang Yuan asked about the arrested Jurchen spy Ang Aba, and when he learned that he had died of hunger strike, Ang Abba was stubborn and never said the identity of the red-faced scholar;

On March 16, Zhang Yuan led Mu Jingyan, Hong Ji, and Hong Xin to the Ministry of War to apply for an order, and these three people would go to North Korea with him.

Uncle Zhang Yaofang left Beijing on the eighth day of March and returned to Shaoxing, Zhang Yaofang celebrated the full moon for his grandson in Beijing, the spring flowers bloomed in March, the waterway was unblocked, and he decided to set off, Zhang Yuan wrote a letter to his family, prepared a gift for his uncle Zhang Yaofang to take back to his hometown with the boat to his parents, and accompanied Zhang Yaofang back to Jiangnan with Wang Wei and Uncle Yao, Xue Tong, Huixiang four people, Wang Wei dealt with the matter of the Youlan Pavilion of the old courtyard in Nanjing and will return to Beijing in July-

On March 17, Zhang Yuan received the will of the East Palace, the crown prince Zhu Changluo wanted to meet him, and the eunuch sent to pass the decree was Zhong Benhua, Zhang Yuan made a little preparation, followed Eunuch Zhong into the palace, on the way Eunuch Zhong asked about the reason why Zhang Yuan went to North Korea, Zhang Yuan explained a few words, Eunuch Zhong said: "Brother heard that Mr. Zhang is going to North Korea, it will take more than half a year to go back and forth, and he is very reluctant. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun is smart and studious, I am very willing to teach him, please Gonggong Zhong try to reserve the position of the East Palace lecturer for me, and I will return from North Korea to give a lecture for His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun." ”

Eunuch Zhong nodded and said: "Mr. Zhang's business is the business of the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family should do their best, my brother respects you, and will not let anyone replace you as an official today." ”

Zhan Shi Shao Zhan Shi Qian Longxi waited for Zhang Yuan at Donghua Gate, and went to see the crown prince with Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan is now the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu Right Chunfang Right Zanshan, as a subordinate official of the East Palace for the first time to meet the crown prince, Qian Longxi, who is in charge of Zhan Shifu, should be introduced.

The crown prince Zhu Changluo met Qian Longxi and Zhang Yuan in the Fengchen Hall of Ciqing Palace, nothing more than a few words of encouragement to Zhang Yuan and gave some gifts, Qian Longxi and Zhang Yuan retired, out of the gate of Ciqing Palace, the emperor's eldest grandson's companion Gao Qi sneaked out and shouted: "Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment, my brother and Mr. Zhang have something to say." ”

Qian Longxi arched his hand to Zhang Yuan and went out of the palace first.

Zhang Yuanli waited in front of the imperial pharmacy, the weather in mid-March, warm and pleasant, the imperial pharmacy planted a large piece of poppies in the imperial river, the flowers bloomed brilliantly, smelling the fragrance of poppies made people refreshed, I don't know what these poppies are used for, suddenly remembered that there were rumors about the Wanli Emperor smoking opium in later generations, and the Wanli Emperor was neglecting the government because he relied on opium to not leave the palace, is the opium being tempered by this imperial pharmacy? …,

Zhang Yuan shook his head, the secrets of the deep palace are not something he can delve into, and whether Wanli takes drugs or not can only become an eternal mystery in history-

"Mr. Zhang, what are you shaking your head?"

Ke Yinyue's voice sounded beside him, Zhang Yuan turned his head to see that Ke Yinyue was wearing a purple palace skirt, green satin boots on her feet, tall and light, her thin eyebrows raised, but her charming eyes were squinting, looking at Zhang Yuan as if she was probing-

The emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Youzheng was accompanied by Zhong Benhua and Gao Qiqian out of the gate of Ciqing Palace to this side, Ke Yinyue had long legs, and came first, she had something to say to Zhang Yuan, Ke Yinyue said: "Mr. Zhang is going to envoy to North Korea, is he also going to Yehe Shuangcheng to meet my two brothers?" ”

There are two chiefs of the Yeh tribe, one is Jintaiji and the other is Buyangu, Jintaiji is the cousin of Yeh Nala Dongge, who lives in the city of Yeh He, and Buyangu is the brother of Dongko, who lives in the city of Yehexi——

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Mama Ke is too worried, my envoy to North Korea has nothing to do with the matter of Dongyue Temple in the first month, it doesn't matter whether Mama Ke is Brother Dong or not, I don't want to investigate the truth, as long as Mama Ke loves the emperor's eldest grandson, then I don't have any conflict with Mama Ke, and we will get along very well." ”

Ke Yinyue's beautiful eyes flowed, and she chuckled: "Mr. Zhang's words are always so comfortable to listen to, the little woman can't help but believe it——"

Zhang Yuan said: "The old slave of Jianzhou is ambitious, and intends to destroy Ye He and invade the Ming Dynasty in the south, Ye He is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and Jianzhou is a feud, and the Ming Dynasty must protect Ye He - I am going to North Korea this time, and I do want to know more about the border affairs of Liaodong, I wonder if Mama can let Brother Ling Keguang go with me first?" ”

Ke Yinyue frowned, stared at Zhang Yuan, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhang wants to take my brother hostage?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Why is Mama Ke so suspicious, I am asking Mama Ke's opinion, Mama is unwilling to help, what can I do, just come, Your Highness is here." ”

Zhu Youxiao, Zhong Benhua, and Gao Qiqian walked over, and Ke Yinyue turned to Zhu Youxiao and said: "Brother, Mr. Zhang said that he is also very reluctant to you, but state affairs are important, and Mr. Zhang will come to teach you to read after returning from his mission to North Korea, so don't be sad." ”
