Since the birth of Zheng Guifei's son Zhu Changxun, people in the world with a little evidence and common sense know that the matter of Lichu will be raised sooner or later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If Emperor Wanli favored Concubine Wang Gong, this Concubine Zheng Guifei was just an indifferent person, and the eldest son of the emperor was naturally the crown prince, there was no doubt about this.
Concubine Gong gave birth to a prince is an ordinary concubine, Zheng Guifei was already a concubine when she had not given birth to a child, and now she has given birth to a son, it is said that the Empress Dowager Li of Cining Palace once forced the Wanli Emperor to establish a prince, and the Wanli Emperor forced him back, judging from various aspects, the meaning of the Wanli Emperor has been very clear.
According to the rules, the eldest son should be the crown prince, but Emperor Wanli didn't think so, this matter should be entangled repeatedly, this inner court and outer court, everyone in the field can understand it.
However, this "represents an opportunity" for more people, and the more this kind of repetition, "the more opportunities there are to bet on speculation, not to mention the involvement of the reserve."
If you make a contribution to the establishment of the prince at this time, and the prince becomes the emperor in the future, the person who contributes will be rewarded in every way, and there are too many examples of this past dynasties.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, Han Qi's ability was much worse than Wen Yanbo and Fu Bilai, but his status was far higher, and he was honored for generations, because of what, he fought the right position in the matter of Lichu, and he was rewarded afterwards.
The Son of Heaven is the Ninety-Five Supreme, that is what everyone has to please, and he will not be rare for others to please and stammer, but if he can make a contribution or show favor before the other party becomes the emperor, it will be of great benefit, who is far away, Lü Buwei bet on the King of Qin "In the end, he became the prime minister of Qin, and who is close, so many eunuchs and cabinet scholars in the Ming Dynasty" How many are the East Palace companions and the prince's companions" Feng Bao isn't it? Zhang Cheng: Isn't it? Zhang Juzheng, isn't it? Xu Jie, isn't it?
This is a soaring thing, everyone knows to catch it, but everyone knows that the person who made the first bird will definitely be guilty, Emperor Wanli's disposal of the official is too lazy to pay attention to "but if you really want to do it, you will never be soft, everyone will work hard" again and again to get to the current position "If it is disposed of, it will be all in vain, and even if it is right, after being dismissed from office" Who knows if it will be remembered in the future.
The purpose of most of the clear rumors is to gain benefits and gain fame, and if you do this, you will suffer a loss, and you will lose your hard-won official position, so it is not worth it.
As for the maintenance of the sage doctrine of "people's livelihood is suffering, spying on injustices, and studying for so many years", no one's brain is broken, and no one will do such a stupid thing.
If someone dares to provoke the leader and propose, "Then everyone will follow in a swarm, the harm will be much smaller, and there will be many people who are sparse," and naturally there is a saying that the law does not blame the public, "If you want to punish it, then it will naturally be aimed at the person who picks the head, and everyone is naturally willing to fight for righteousness and obey this kind of thing."
Even if you don't get any benefits", you can get a name for being righteous and outspoken, and you can boast that you have been sparse in the dispute between the reserve and the prince in the future.
From the overall point of view of civil officials, "after the death of Zhang Juzheng", Zhang Siwei Ding worried, Emperor Wanli's power is too great, he is more and more accustomed to relying on eunuchs and military officials to do things in the future, and the scholars and doctors are left aside.
There must be a behavior to let the current saint know that he has to be restrained by the courtiers, he can't do what he wants, and the matter of establishing a prince must be the most important thing for Emperor Wanli, so everyone has to come to Fengzheng to see.
personal benefits, the righteousness of the sages, and the interests of Shilin" are all reasons for everyone's actions, but there is also a key point that "Jingcha will begin" in June this year.
Although Yang Wei, the secretary of the ministry, did not say it explicitly, the news had already spread from his protégé, "If anyone in this dispute over the prince is against the mainstream, or stay out of the matter, then wait until Jingcha to see the real chapter!"
If you succeed in the imperial examination, after being elected, as long as you are not too stupid and don't offend people who can't afford to offend, "then you will sit firmly in the official position" The boss has no power to remove you for no reason, and the boss of the boss is not good, there must be a reason, even if there is a reason, it depends on whether others approve or not.
Similarly, the same is true for promotions, and the same is true for transfers, unless it is when the son speaks in person, but the emperor has every opportunity, and how many officials below the fifth rank can remember?
However, in Jingcha, the promotion, demotion, dismissal, and transfer of all officials under the fifth rank and below the fifth rank of the Jingshi and the fourth rank of other provinces (including the prefect) are all in the decision of the ministry.
In fact, it is equivalent to the Ministry of Shangshu and the Wenxuan Division deciding whether you will stay or not, and this is the Ming Dynasty's code system, and there is no reason to resist.
Saying everything is false, the benefits of getting it, the position under the ass is real, or if you don't participate, "the official position will be lost, who dares to take this risk, and participate in this matter, it is not yourself who takes the lead, and there are some benefits, why not participate." …………
The rank of the imperial history and the matter is not high, but he is a real official, and people who can be in this position "naturally have a good pen and can write good articles."
Yao Bo's wife and children are in the hands of others, so naturally they don't dare to slack off" sprinkled more than 3,000 words, quoting scriptures and classics are extraordinary, and the general administration and the ceremonial supervisor have made it convenient, and the music has also reached the hands of Emperor Wanli.
"What is the country that is unstable without a prince, if I have three longs and two shorts, wouldn't the country be chaotic." , Wanli directly took out the fold at the court meeting" In front of the six ministers of the cabinet, he said with a sneer while shaking the fold in his hand.
When this recital was not handed to the palace, many of these bigwigs had already seen the full text, "Seeing Emperor Wanli's reaction like this, it is not very surprising, some people bow their heads slightly, but more people are looking at Emperor Wanli."
Last year, he was so kind to Wang Tong, it was obviously a trick to show the emperor's scheming, why after that, "these ministers in the court have more and more their own ideas, Emperor Wanli is tumbling this idea in his heart, and the expressions of the following ministers fall into his eyes, but it makes him even more angry.
Emperor Wanli wanted to say something but stopped, put down the handrail and put it down, and finally stood up, slammed the folded book in his hand to the ground, and scolded: "A bastard with no king and no father, is this looking forward to the early death of the widow!" Emperor Wanli gasped for breath "His eyes were red, and he glanced at the ministers in the hall, and in this situation, Shen Shixing coughed lightly, led the crowd to kneel, and said: "Please Your Majesty to calm your anger!" ”
Over there, Zhang Cheng and the eunuchs also knelt down and said the same words, there was nothing wrong with this response, it was decent, but it had no effect on alleviating the anger of Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli looked left and right, everyone was bowing their heads, and no one could help.
After taking a few breaths there, Emperor Wanli sat back on the chair, waved his hand and said: "It's not you who are sparse, get up and get up, this bastard thing, the widow must be severely punished, such nonsense, who is going to instigate it, Zhang Cheng, arrange for Jinyiwei to take it, go to prison and ask for understanding!" ”
Since the Jinyi Guards commanded Wang Tong to go to Guihua City, "the Jinyi Guards reported to the higher authorities and did not go to the only remaining commander, and went directly to the eunuch Zhang Cheng and the Imperial Horse Eunuch Zou Yi to ask for instructions, and Emperor Wanli ordered to go directly to that side, but Zhang Cheng did not answer there.
Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, "turned his head to look, but saw Zhang Cheng's face was bitter, and he shook his head very much, Emperor Wanli just turned his head to take a look, and some of the ministers who had just gotten up had already knelt down, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the official will not be convicted of his words" Although Yao Bo is rebellious, but what he said also has some truth, His Majesty, the society is important, considering everything, for the country, for the ancestors, His Majesty has a son "as the prince" to set the name, which can make the treacherous villain less opportunity to take advantage of, so that the society will be for all generations, if not, There are really times when you dare not speak, the name is not right, and I am afraid that there will be chaos! ”
The voice of the minister kneeling on the ground was sonorous and powerful, and his expression was also very resolute, and Emperor Wanli groaned with a gloomy face, and said: "Shen Li, the widow's family matter, why are you in such a hurry, could it be that this Yao Bo was instigated by you?" ”
Shen Li kowtowed on the ground, straightened up and said: "Your Majesty, the heavenly family has no selfish affairs, Your Majesty's family affairs are related to the country, that is the affairs of the world, the minister is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this great gift is naturally duty-bound, the elder and the young are orderly, it is humane and reasonable, the emperor's eldest son is now healthy and intelligent, why not determine the name" Yao Bo dared to admonish directly, what was wrong with what he said" Your Majesty Mingjian! ”
Emperor Wanli clenched the armrests with both hands, wanting to stand up and erupt, but he felt that he had no confidence, and he glanced at the group of people under the seat.
In the three cabinets of Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Xu Guo, Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, will not be with Shen Li, while Yang Wei (the secretary of the ministry), Wang Xun (the secretary of the household), Shu Hua (the secretary of the criminal department), Yang Zhao (the secretary of the Ministry of Industry), and Zhao Jin (the imperial history of Zuodu) are one faction.
But Shen Shixing and the others will not argue with Yang Wei's faction about this matter, and Emperor Wanli also knows what the Wenchen family outside has to be the attitude towards this Lichang and Liyou, and he doesn't want to open this matter too early, but he doesn't want to, but he didn't expect the Yanguan outside to open it first.
Among the courtiers, they either stood by or resolutely supported Lichang, and the Wanli Emperor did not have any alliances" He subconsciously turned his head and looked, "He may be able to rely on the internal officials, Zhang Cheng looked respectful, and Zhang Whale bowed his head slightly" Zhang Hong and Tian Yi both had a look of admiration on their faces.
The eunuch Zhang Hong and the eunuch Tian Yi supported Lichang, and Emperor Wanli knew that so many people were against him, and he had the ability to subdue them all, Emperor Wanli had a lot of thoughts and no confidence.! ~!
