These four people are all big guys.

The first, Wang Dewan, a native of Sichuan, is 65 years old. He knew a little about military affairs, and his reputation for integrity spread throughout the country.

But Wanli could not choose him, because 20 years ago, he strongly recommended the establishment of a crown prince, not a king of Fu, and was cut to the people.

The second place, Zou Yuanbiao, is one of the three giants of Donglin, and Wanli is extremely familiar with him. This person may not understand military affairs, but when he was demoted to Guizhou, he had a huge influence on lecturing, and convincing people with virtue can also guide the atmosphere of Yunnan and Guizhou.

However, it is impossible for him to be chosen, and it is too late for him.

third place, Yuan Keli. This true ability and reputation of later generations are definitely the first among the four.

It's a pity that in the "official history", because of offending the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it can't be listed, and a generation of true detectives can only be passed on to future generations in folklore. This is very powerful, but he was also dismissed from his post and is almost impossible to choose.

The fourth, Yuan Yingtai, is currently Yongping Bingbeidao. According to history, 3 months later, he will succeed Xiong Tingbi as the Liaodong Economic Strategy.

Wang Hongyu is through so much foreshadowing, he wants to get him away and get Yunguishan to be great.

Yuan Yingtai can't deal with Nurhachi, and it's almost the same to scare Yu Chongming with fame.

In addition to the characteristics of these four people, special thought has also been put into the order of the list, which is actually considering the knowledge of the ranking of the ancient officialdom list.

The first one is the one that the drafters attach the most importance to, but the leaders sometimes do not choose it directly.

Wang Dewan is from Sichuan with Wang Hongyu, so he put it in the first place, which is the meaning he recommends the most.

The second and third people are caught in the middle, and if it is not for meritorious deeds, it is likely that the middle few people will be slightly neglected. Considering that these two people once contradicted him, Wanli is likely to ignore them directly.

The last name, from the perspective of Wanli, this person is ranked low in the recommendation. Yuan Yingtai has never had much intersection with Sichuan and Sichuan soldiers, so he doesn't have to worry too much about forming a party for personal gain, so he is naturally better than the previous three.

Therefore, this list and ranking, with a high probability of being elected, is Yuan Yingtai.

After hearing the names of these four people, Wanli thought for a moment, and then said slowly:

"These four people are very good, and they can all do it from the perspective of convincing people with virtue and deterring the group. But considering the remoteness and poverty of Yunnan and Guizhou, Wang Dewan and Zou Yuanbiao are too old......"

All right~

In fact, as soon as the list came out just now, Wanli had already excluded them, and even had a candidate in his heart. And then the thinking that was shown was simply to hide the real thoughts, and then organize the language interpreters~

No wonder Wanli was the guy who was completely defeated by the civilian clique.

Because he is not good at hiding himself, his mind is easier to guess.

connived at the civilian clique to attack the dead Zhang Juzheng, but the civilian clique sprayed him to self-containment.

The eldest son who doesn't want to be a palace girl is blocked by people and asks for a prince every day.

The favorite son was not only unable to inherit, but also had to be driven out of the capital every day by blocking the door and urging him to become a vassal in the capital.

The last way to deal with the civilian clique is to strike and neglect the government......

Compared to his two grandsons, he was much more merciful, but he wasted too many opportunities......

Wanli is indeed not very good at hiding his political intentions, from the counterattack on Zhang Juzheng, to the crown prince and King Fu, everyone knows what he is thinking.

is also now Wanli is too careless, thinking that the 18-year-old young man in front of him is a hot-blooded young man, so he did not completely hide all his thoughts.

In fact, Wang Hongyu is hot-blooded, and if he drives Yuan Yingtai away and then fights the Tartars, he will be hot-blooded, and Yuan Yingtai will be killed behind him.

Wanli didn't say which one was more suitable, Yuan Keli or Yuan Yingtai, and then discussed the southwest affairs for a while, and then listened to the two sounds of the bell "bell ~ bell ~".

The time has come, and by five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun will soon set.

Wanli said with a smile: "Eunuch Bingbi has gone to the Sichuan Soldier Camp, so let your brother-in-law Liu Shimin take you out." ”

After a while, Liu Shimin, the eunuch with a ribbon, came, but in fact, Wanli had already asked him to wait nearby.

Just as he was about to leave with his uncle, he saw eight eunuchs walking to the big chiming bell, struggling to carry the bell and returning from the coal mountain to the Forbidden City.

"Alas, if my little bell is still intact, I don't need to let people carry the bell away......," Wanli sighed lightly.

Is the little chime bell broken?

A keen light flashed in his eyes, and Wang Hongyu thought of a reason to have more intersections with Wanli.

"Oh? What do you seem to have in mind? Wanli sensed Wang Hongyu's sudden arrival, and his spirits perked up.

"I heard that the people of Ezejania have paid tribute to His Majesty, one large and one small, and two self-striking bells, especially the small one, which can be called the most exquisite craftsmanship made by Ezecienia, is this treasure broken?"

"Yes, you know that they are Ezidanians, not the Francs, as they are commonly called." Wanli was not surprised, that little chiming clock was his favorite to play, but it was a pity that it was broken.

"Chen has a friend who once went to Haojing Ao to Taobao, so he knows a little about this matter and how to repair the chiming clock."

Ho Kiang Macao is Macau, and repairing this chiming bell is an opportunity for me to continue to stay in the capital and connect with the forces of all parties.

"Oh, if you can fix that chiming bell, I'll be rewarded."

Wanli, who was almost 60 years old and sick, stood up happily.

"The minister needs to walk around the capital a little, and he should try his best to share his majesty's worries."

……

When he left from the coal mountain, Wang Hongyu was full of energy, holding the things in his hand very solemnly.

It is a delicate little clock that is only half the size of a palm.

The brother-in-law also helped him carry a bag of silver given by Wanli, which amounted to 300 taels as the funds for repairing the clock.

This small chiming clock is truly the result of the best Spanish craftsmanship, only half the size of a hand's hand, but with a beautiful level of detail.

The gold-encrusted exterior is only the most superficial, and the carved colored crystals form many different color reflections, forming the most intriguing crystal box. If it is placed in a church, it can show the best brilliance under the glow of multicolored glass; If it is under the symmetrical light of light and dark, it can constitute the ultimate artistic conception of light and dark in oil painting.

Colorful churches, oil paintings of contrasts between light and darkness...... Sure enough, it's the Spanish aesthetic.

Who's going to fix this thing?

Of course there are people, Xu Guangqi often gets along with Long Huamin and other missionaries, of course some of these guys know the relevant gears and clockwork, and they are counting on this to make money.

So why didn't Wanli ask them to repair the chiming bell for so many years?

The reason is certainly not complicated.

At the strong request of the civil official group, Wanli agreed to drive the foreigners away.

On the one hand, he drove people away, and on the other hand, he looked for someone to repair things, and he really couldn't afford to lose this person.

In fact, Wanli didn't really drive people out, and secretly allowed them to live in the area of Xu Guangqi's house, and it was not completely banned until the Donglin Party came to power.

Now, if Wang Hongyu does this matter well, he can not only save face for Wanli, continue to meet in the future, but also take the opportunity to learn the ability to make Western clocks and watches.

Kill two birds with one stone.
