Shen Wanying said: "This is also thanks to Zheng Niangniang, after the heavenly family fainted, she sent someone out in time to deliver the news, so that I was prepared, so that I would not be caught off guard." I heard that the old queen mother once wanted to take the heavenly family to the queen and the queen to serve her. But the mother insisted on it, but she didn't let go, and she almost made a fuss in the two times. Later, because the danger of patient transfer was too great, the old queen mother wanted Zheng Niangniang to move out of the palace and replace Wang Gongfei and Queen Wang, but Niangniang did not move, and in the end, it was also the matter of moving the palace, which was also unsuccessful. Later, there was a big explosion at Wang Gong's factory, and many people died. Some civil officials said that this is a catastrophe from heaven, and there is no way to punish the Son of Heaven, and a new monarch should be established, otherwise it will be difficult to protect the Ming Dynasty. Listening to my father, this chapter is very troublesome, Zhang Whale pleaded with the old queen mother, and wanted King Lu to enter Beijing and take the throne. ”

Zhang Yuangong and Zhu Lin scolded together: "These civil officials and that old dog are simply wishful thinking, the Heavenly Family is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are occasional minor illnesses, and after a long time, they can be cured." Wang Gongchang's incident, I think it is clearly a man-made disaster, which is a natural disaster. They just wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Family was seriously ill and plotted to usurp the throne. ”

"It is said that there is news from the palace that the situation of the heavenly family is not very good, and he has been unconscious for many days. Eating little every day is just enough to last. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and in addition, because of the incident of the monk of Jishan, the heavenly family and the queen mother, the mother and son are very stiff. Here, it is said that there are still many civil officials in the court who want to support the new monarch and restore the old law. All the mining tax supervisors were abolished, and other matters such as land measurement and sea trade were also stopped. Therefore, this matter of the king of Lu is in the court. There are still people who support it. ”

Shen Shixing and several other auxiliary ministers, when they heard that Zhang Whale had the intention of abolishing the establishment, they went to the book together to oppose it. asked to see the Queen Mother together, hoping that the Queen Mother would take back her life. However, Zhang Whale took the people from Dongchang and did not let several ministers see the Queen Mother, only saying that the Queen Mother was reciting scriptures and praying for the Heavenly Family, and no one was allowed to go in and disturb them. The ministers wanted to talk to their faces, but there was no way. simply played non-violent non-cooperation, and several bigwigs went to the fold of suing the sick together. Shut the door. But the Great Seal of the Cabinet. But they also took it with them and refused to hand it in.

At the beginning, Zhang Whale also thought about taking advantage of the opportunity of several ministers to report illness to make a surprise move. Directly appoint a group of new ministers to seize power for the past ministers. It's just that Li Shida and others know it in their hearts. Before King Lu entered Beijing. If such a game is played, it is tantamount to openly breaking the rules of the civil and bureaucratic game that have been formed for hundreds of years, and the cabinet will completely lose its authority. Even if you get the print handle. It's also hard to really direct the people below to do things. At the same time, Zhang Cheng, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, disappeared mysteriously and did not know his whereabouts. By the way, he also abducted the seal letter of the celebrant and made the inner court also in a semi-paralyzed state.

Among the six departments, the officials and the household are the people of the Zheng family, and they are all on Zheng Niangniang's side. Following the example of the Cabinet, it also began to work behind closed doors. Wang Yiyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was a member of the board of directors as usual and handled the military situation. However, he transferred a team of men and horses to protect the yamen, and whoever dared to storm the military headquarters would be killed on the spot. Be clear, be neutral, and not be involved with any party.

Li Shida, Yu Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zeng Tongheng of the Ministry of Works, were active supporters of the abolition. Among them, either they are against the new law, or some are enemies with the Gangneung Party, and when they saw that Wanli wanted to revive the Gangneung Party, they naturally hated it in their hearts. But compared with these reasons, Shen Wanying said a more important reason: "Hypocrisy and reality." Several of them are because of this, so they are in trouble with those eunuchs. I heard that this is all nonsense from the nine-headed colt who came to Banshu to deliver gold. Somehow, he actually said that he moved Li Shida and the other three ministers, and he was willing to follow him and do this act of usurpation. What's even more sad is that among these three people, Yu Shenxing and Zeng Tongheng are both close friends of their fathers, and they are also gentlemen with good character. ”

"I guess they will also tell their father-in-law that they are saving Daming by doing this. It is to open peace for all generations, and it is right to start the country, the merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future. ”

"Yes, my father said, and when they said these words, their eyes were clear, and their expressions were firm, and they were not against their will. They also said that this was for the future of the Ming Dynasty, and they should be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and not loyal to the Son of Heaven. has been an old friend for many years, and in the end he can only cut his robe and break his righteousness, and my father's heart is quite unpleasant. In this matter, there are still many national prisoners, local talents, people, and follow-ups, the momentum is not small, and it is really possible to overturn the splendid country of my Ming Dynasty. ”

And so it was. The nine-headed colt is not an idle person, relying on these tricks to move several old ministers. I estimate that in addition to them, there are also many young civil officials who are the main force in this incident. After all, not everyone is as noble as a few bosses, thinking about such a big thing as serving the country and the people. They think more about how to benefit themselves and their families. How can I catch more? If it was really according to what the nine-headed colt said, the monarchy was set up first, one person, one vote, and those scholars would benefit the most. Secondly, it is the clan power, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles, and the transportation is inconvenient, so it is strange that the tricks they said can be done. In the end, it became nothing more than clan autonomy, and the powerful became the king. The unlucky ones are still those ordinary people. Without the centralization of power in the imperial court, how can there be any prestige, and what can be used to deter the people? Moreover, the provinces are rich and poor, and the mouths are different. When the time comes, some people will stand up and say that their province is too burdened and that their county is overwhelmed. You see that I have taken advantage of you, I see that you have taken my share, and it will not be long before a huge empire will be torn apart and scattered. It's a pity that these scholars, they don't care about what the empire has become, all they care about is their own money bags. ”

Zhang Yuangong said on the side: "We don't have so many twists and turns from Uncle Guo, we only know one thing." Our honors are resting with the country, and we are serving a golden rice bowl. But if the court falls, this golden rice bowl will be smashed. Civil officials, born to look at us nobles are not pleasing to the eye, and now there is long live, and we have no way to live if they are all going to run out. In the future, if there is really any kind of hypocrisy reality, we will all die and have no place to be buried. Whoever touches our jobs will take our lives, and although we are honest, we cannot be slaughtered by others. As long as Uncle Guo says a word, I will go and move people and arrest people. ”

"There's no hurry. Let's move troops now, it's not right. We don't know what the situation is in the heavenly family, and if we do it rashly, we will give others a handle. Now, we have to go to the palace to see what is going on in the heavenly family. If you ask for another will, you can start to take people. ”

Zhu Lin said: "We also thought about entering the Beijing Saint. However, since the palace removal incident, the Forbidden City has been heavily guarded, and there is no communication between inside and outside, and we can't enter if we want to. Besides, without further ado, in case the king of Nalu ......"

"Don't worry, a few Chitose can't get in, I can get in. And that Chitose, he didn't want to enter the Jingshi. I'll pack a ticket for this. As long as you see my sister-in-law, you will be able to get the holy decree of begging for thieves. As long as you have a will in hand, are you afraid that these miscellaneous things will go against the sky? There are a few thousand-year-old tigers, there are three battalions of generals, and there are only eunuchs in Dongchang, what is the way? ”

After several people discussed and decided, they were going to enter the palace to see the driver. Zheng Guobao said to Shen Wanying: "Wanying, the burden on your shoulders can be loosened." But now, our family still has to be guarded by you. When I come back from destroying the thieves, I'll treat you well. ”

Shen Wanying said: "Don't worry. As a husband and wife, we naturally share blessings and difficulties. With me here, I guarantee that our house is stable and there will be no accidents. I'll cook for you myself, and when you return victorious, we'll drink together. ”

Zheng Guobao and his party had just walked to the gate of the mansion, and a few family members outside rushed to report, "Master, it's not good." The little ones saw that Zhang Whale's gelding goods, with many Dongchang fans, came over to this side to kill the generals, they didn't look good, and they still had guys in their hands. Otherwise, the little one will inform our general, take the weapon too, and do it with him! ”

Zhang Yuangong also said: "What a bold thief, he really dares to lead troops to kill him." I want to see if he is a great fan of the East Factory, or if he is a British general. Sons and daughters, cheer up, listen to my orders in a while, and beat me to the death. (To be continued......)
