It has been almost two hundred years since Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, and the power is as big as the Empress Dowager Li, which can be said to be unique.

It's not that the status of the empress dowager gives her any power, but that Zhang Juzheng's reform and Feng Bao's power both need her support, and after Empress Dowager Li gave her own support, she also got the full help of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, the two highest powers in the inner court and the outer court.

With such help and her status as the biological mother of Emperor Wanli, everything is different, and the Li family was born in a small family, knows the people's hardships and various deeds, and has accompanied Emperor Longqing in Yuwangfu for a long time, and has exercised his scheming, city, eyesight and means.

After the Empress Dowager Li had great power, she did not indulge her family, her younger brother Li Qi was diligent on errands, and his father Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing, was also cautious and low-key, and was once punished by the Empress Dowager Li for deducting the military uniform of the border army in the snow.

With the superposition of these factors, Empress Dowager Li already has the prestige and ability to abolish the Son of Heaven.

Emperor Wanli is the biological son of the Empress Dowager Li, and she has been very fond of her since she was a child, and the Empress Dowager Li has also gone through the Jiajing and Longqing dynasties, and she doesn't want the Wanli Emperor to make the mistakes made by the Wanli Emperor's fathers. Therefore, the requirements for the emperor are extremely strict, in addition to being diligent and thrifty, but also restricting Wanli's behavior.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli once asked a little palace maid to sing, but the little palace maid couldn't sing, so Emperor Wanli said that he would be beheaded, but this could not really be killed, and finally cut off a strand of hair of this little palace maid.

The matter reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Li, and the Empress Dowager Li ordered the Wanli Emperor to kneel, and then wear a dress with a phoenix crown, saying that he was going to the Taimiao to show the ancestors and the ancestors, and set up a new monarch for the Jiangshan Sheji, that time really scared the Wanli Emperor to the soul, although the Empress Dowager Li was also pretending, but the Wanli Emperor realized what his mother could do.

This incident caused a lot of trouble, and there was no one inside and outside the palace who didn't know about it, and the comments praised the Empress Dowager Li one-sidedly.

As a political ally of Empress Dowager Li, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, naturally knew who could suppress this unreasonable little emperor for Emperor Wanli.

Sure enough, when Zhang Juzheng said that he wanted to play the Empress Dowager, Emperor Wanli's momentum suddenly collapsed, and he sat on the dragon chair silently.

But now the atmosphere in the court is already extremely embarrassing, except for Emperor Wanli, everyone including Zhang Juzheng is kneeling on the ground, and several people who have spoken and advised one after another are all slamming their heads on the ground and dare not raise them.

It's really hard to say who has the upper hand and who has the upper hand, Emperor Wanli leaned back in his chair for a while, and suddenly said loudly:

"Near Xianchen, far villain, all Aiqing mean to keep Wang Tong away from my side, yes or no?"

The words of the little emperor of Wanli finally eased the atmosphere in the Wenyuan Pavilion, but Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, did not take advantage of this to step down, but said solemnly:

"Your Majesty has been spending less on the way of the sages and sages for the past year, and too much on martial arts, the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion is a place for villains to bewitch Your Majesty, please dissolve the martial arts hall and return the young people to their hometowns, while Your Majesty lives in the palace, reduces the number of times you go out, and cultivates yourself diligently."

Emperor Wanli's mouth was closed, his face changed, but he still spoke:

"Everyone, get up, Feng Daban, Zhang Companion, you should also get up!"

In the sound of thanksgiving, the ministers and eunuchs stood up one after another, and Emperor Wanli looked very calm and said:

"What Mr. Zhang said is reasonable, the widow has been abandoned this year, and now it has been closed in recent years, and when I entered the wax moon, I dispersed the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion and sent the teenagers back."

After saying this, Zhang Juzheng led the ministers to kneel down one after another, and praised in his mouth:

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Emperor Wanli sneered self-deprecatingly, and gently invited everyone to get up, and after the ministers were seated, Emperor Wanli said solemnly:

"Since the widow is far away from them, will this matter be over, and then not investigated, or you Aiqing will chase and fight hard, and you will have to put Wang Tong to death."

Anyone can see the little emperor's determination to maintain Wang Tong at this time, and Zhang Ge Lao's instructions must be followed, but at the moment, the goal seems to have been achieved in another way, and he is still so the emperor who is already angry, this is not the way of an official.

Except for Lu Tiaoyang and several eunuchs who were concerned about their mouths and noses, and had nothing to do with themselves, the rest of the people looked at Zhang Juzheng unnoticed.

At this time, the little emperor of Wanli stared very closely, paying special attention to these small actions, and suddenly fell into his eyes, the little emperor gritted his teeth, but did not speak.

Zhang Juzheng bowed in his seat and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty has mercy and gives that Wang Tong a chance to reform himself, and the ministers will naturally not violate Your Majesty's benevolent heart, but this person's reputation in Beijing is too bad, and he is afraid of rebirth if he stays here, and he has to ask His Majesty to consider it."

Emperor Wanli nodded, and said indifferently:

"I understand what Mr. Zhang and all Aiqing mean, Wang Tong can't be in Beijing, isn't it?"

The little emperor said it so bluntly, but Zhang Juzheng didn't deny it, just nodded, and the little emperor of Wanli took a breath and said in a deep voice:

"In that case, I will expel him from the Jingshi!"

As soon as this decree was made, Zhang Juzheng and all the ministers stood up to praise "Your Majesty Shengming", and when these ministers bowed their heads, Emperor Wanli sneered a few times and did not answer.

Although the process was a little troublesome, the little emperor lost his temper, but this also achieved everyone's goal, everyone was relieved, and Lu Tiaoyang, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, said:

"Your Majesty, this year, there is probably a lot of tax money and grain in various parts of the world, which is a lot more than last year, Your Majesty is not asking the household department Xing Shangshu Chen to play."

The increase in the treasury is always a happy thing, and Lu Tiaoyang also has the meaning of easing the tense atmosphere in this Wenyuan Pavilion, and Xing Shangshu of the household department has not made a sound, and at this time he stepped forward with a smile on his face to prepare for Chen Song, but the little emperor of Wanli stretched out his hand to stop him, and said:

"I still have someone to be promoted here, you Aiqing decided as soon as possible, drafted a ticket and handed it to the celebrant to send it out as soon as possible."

Everyone immediately sat down again, personnel appointment is the most important thing in the government, and every bigwig is extremely concerned about it to see if it has anything to do with him.

"Jinyiwei Baihu Wang Tong, I am very familiar with it, he is diligent and loyal, and he has the ability to prepare for military and wealth, so he should be of great use, Zhang Companion, Jinyiwei Tianjin has been sentenced to a vacancy of thousands of households, right?"

Speaking of this, he turned his head and asked Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng immediately replied respectfully:

"If you go back to the Long Live Lord, Tianjin Sanwei's Jinyi Wei sentenced Wang Damin of a thousand households to fall off his horse and break his leg, and he wants to go back to Beijing to raise soldiers, and the position is vacant."

The little emperor nodded, turned his head and said:

"In this case, let Wang Tong sit in this position, Zhang Aiqing of the Ministry of War will quickly issue a document, and the celebrant will approve it, so let Wang Tong set off and leave the Beijing Division to take up his post."

The bigwigs in the Wenyuan Pavilion looked at each other, and the officials and imperial historians were impeached, and now they are so fierce, and they did drive away Wang Tong, who was the most trusted by the Wanli Emperor, and the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Hall was disbanded, but Wang Tong himself didn't seem to suffer much loss, how can this result be calculated?

Of course, being by the side of the Son of Heaven in the officialdom is the greatest blessing and the biggest good position, far away, how to say that this relationship must be faded, from this point of view, Wang Tong has been given the greatest punishment, cutting off his way to rise in officialdom, is there anything heavier than this?

However, when the emperor said this, it depends on what the old man thinks, and the new Shangshu Shen Shixing of the Ministry of Rites glanced at Zhang Juzheng, and found that his face was indifferent, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, so the surname Suo gritted his teeth, stood up and said:

"Your Majesty......"

"I'm a little tired, go back and rest, if there is anything Zhang Ge Lao has seen, then report to the celebrant here."

Without waiting for Shen Shixing to finish speaking, Emperor Wanli got up and interrupted Shen Shixing's words, and walked towards the door without knowing his head, and several eunuchs hurriedly followed.

The eunuch Feng Bao, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, lagged behind, and when everyone came out of the house, he stopped at the door, turned around and said with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, long live the lord of fifteen this year, the boy of the small family outside the palace is fifteen, and he is already regarded as a man who has established a household, and the lord of long live also has his own temper, since he has made a step, you will accept it when you see it, don't be endless, the disciples and grandchildren of each person will be restrained when they go back today, and they will stop tomorrow!"

The expressions of everyone in the room were a little stiff, Zhang Juzheng coughed and was about to speak, Feng Bao owed, smiled and continued:

"All of you adults are for the good of Long Live Lord, our family understands it in our hearts, but after all, this Da Ming is Long Live Lord Da Ming, no, the last person to catch the general is still Long Live Lord, this matter is just settled!"

After finishing speaking, Feng Bao lifted the curtain and walked out.

There was silence in the room for a while, everyone in the room, you look at me, I look at you, the second assistant Lu Tiaoyang stroked his beard, and said with a dry smile:

"Since Your Majesty has decided, then Wang Tong is also out of the Beijing Division, let's follow the will and do it!"

The transfer and promotion of Jinyiwei is also decided by the Ministry of War, and Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the Soldier Department of the Cabinet University, is the person in charge, but he ignored Lu Tiaoyang, and just looked at Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, who was sitting there, Zhang Juzheng's eyes were slightly closed, and his expression was as usual.

The room was quiet for a while, and Zhang Juzheng opened his eyes and said:

"The villain is not in Beijing, so he can't do harm, he went to Tianjin Wei, maybe he can change his mind, be a new person, and become a useful talent in the Ming Dynasty, a piece of hard work on the saint, we must not be disappointed as courtiers, and the military department will report to the ceremonial supervisor as soon as possible!"

Zhang Siwei hurriedly stood up to receive the order, and the ministers in the Wenyuan Pavilion hesitated, and they all stood up in unison, claiming that Lord Song Shoufu was loyal and wise.
