Chapter 70: Wanli and Taichang died one after another

Relying on the favor of the Son of Heaven, it is far better to do it yourself, seize the changes of this era for Huaxia, and spell out a top of the world.

Even if we break all resistance and become a long-term super-assistant with unlimited power, it is okay to engage in a whip law or a small-scale peasant economy, and even if we go down the road of collectivization, the implementation will change in the end......

If you don't have that certainty to play in the court, then don't hope for nothing.

So Taichang can't save ......

If you don't choose the road of "Dingyuan Marquis", "a generation of heroes", and "squeezing your head to be a powerful first assistant", you will not be able to save Taichang.

After saving Emperor Taichang, Wei Zhongxian couldn't go up.

Only if Taichang is not saved, the apocalypse is "hijacked" by Donglin, and Wei Jinzhong transforms into Wei Zhongxian, so that he can get much more resources from him.

Since you have made up your mind, there is no need to hesitate: "Father-in-law Wei, remind me of one thing." ”

"What?"

Wei Jinzhong concentrated all his energy, and he could see from Wang Hongyu's eyes that these words were not light.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, followed by a loud knock on the door.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law!"

Wei Jinzhong's face was displeased, and he motioned to the housekeeper to go out and deal with it first.

Before the housekeeper reached the courtyard, he heard a shout outside the door: "Father-in-law! Something is wrong! The emperor is on a big trip! ”

Wang Hongyu and Wei Jinzhong glanced at each other, there were sighs, regrets, and ambitions in their eyes, but they were not too surprised.

An era is over, and the next step is to start from scratch!

……

In July of the 48th year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun, the longest-reigning Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, died of illness at the age of 58.

The crown prince Zhu Changluo is preparing to ascend the throne in August, and the era name is set as Taichang, and this era name will be used next year......

Taichang ascended the throne and everything was steadily ready.

On the 22nd and 24th of July, before ascending the throne, 1 million taels of silver were each distributed to the border guards in Liaodong and other places.

At the same time, the mining tax and the tax were abolished, and the mining tax was withdrawn, but there was no tax reduction for the peasants in various localities.

Immediately promote and appoint officials to reverse the large number of vacancies. He Zongyan, who supported himself as the crown prince back then, was added as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University.

The rest of the Donglin Party and a group of celebrities who were well-known but not appointed were also awarded important positions. Zhao Nanxing and Zou Yuanbiao of Donglin, as well as Ye Xianggao, Wang Dewan, and Yuan Keli of non-Donglin are all listed.

For a time, the government and the opposition were shaken, and there was a momentum of innovation and cheering up.

Although Taichang Zhu Changluo was disliked by Wanli for a long time and did not give special training to the right, he still had the political wisdom he should have, so he laid a good start in an instant.

He not only uses the Donglin Party, but also specializes in using talents, and will not be completely hollowed out by a certain group. If there is an if, perhaps it is more likely to be better than his two sons.

However, it has been strictly managed all year round and has been in a state of long-term repression, forming some extreme or indulgent character behaviors.

He didn't like the crown princess who had died of illness, and he couldn't be buried in time that year, and he didn't posthumously ascend the throne at this time.

When he was the prince, he failed to protect Zhu Youxiao's biological mother, and killed Zhu Youzhen's biological mother with his own hands......

At present, he loves Li Xuanzhi very much, and even some are used to her, resulting in a lack of concealment of his intentions, inability to maintain royal majesty, and disintegration of the other party when he encounters a major crisis in the future......

Maybe it's just a personal preference, but this will lead to the weaknesses of Emperor Taichang, Li Xuanzhi and others are also more obvious.

Wanli has suffered a big loss in the cultivation of teenagers, so why not Taichang?

Death is fast approaching him, and orphans and widows will also be "flying dragon riding faces" by the celebrities and celebrities he appointed.

......

Wei Jinzhong also entered the palace, accompanied by Li Xuanzhi, assisted her, who lacked court and social experience, and cooperated with Wang An, the eunuch of the East Palace, to adjust a group of people in the palace, and intensively prepared for excessive matters.

Li Xuanzhi is not small, and he wants to be the imperial concubine immediately.

Wei Jinzhong is also a very ambitious person, and it will be a win-win situation for him to assist in achieving this step.

When he was busy, he of course thought of Wang Hongyu.

On the day of Wanli's trip, before the two separated, Wang Hongyu told himself: "You must have your own foundation."

In the future, those who will be prominent in the future, those who see power and come to vote are not their own people; Those who profit from power together may not be their own people; The relatives of the same country back then could not all be counted as their own people;

How do you count your own people? How to have your own foundation? Please think deeply. ”

Wei Jinzhong has been savoring this sentence for the past few days, and at first glance he didn't think it was very powerful, but when he thought about it quietly, he was extremely frightened.

For so many years, only some of my friends can be counted, and the rest have no foundation of their own people and themselves.

Wang Cairen, who relied on back then, and Li Xuanshi, who is now taking refuge, are all typical people who have no foundation.

Even Emperor Taichang ......

There is no real reliability among the people in the court; The great camp is not his foundation; Even Huangzhuang is in a state of excess, and he hasn't really received it yet.

It seems to be a good situation, but in fact, it is like a castle in the sky.

......

"Mr. Wang, Gonggong Liu is here, saying that His Majesty Wanli has an edict to entrust him."

Wanli always has an edict for this little handful? You don't really want to recognize yourself as the descendant of "Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi" and award Dingyuan Bo, right?

Uncle Liu Shimin came, and he didn't seem to have the elegant atmosphere of the past, he seemed to be very tired, and he had dark circles under his eyes.

There was no time to greet at all, and directly announced: "Your Majesty's edict: 'Give the beloved chiming bell to Wang Aiqing, I know that only Aiqing knows to cherish this thing.'" ’”

The uncle brought a thing, it was the exquisite self-striking bell that he and Li Tiezhu had spent a lot of effort to repair, only the size of a palm but extremely exquisite.

He also introduced that now the palace has changed, and the original eunuch has been replaced.

Now it is the original East Palace companion eunuch Wang An, who has become the new eunuch of Bingbi. Wei Jinzhong's status has improved, but he is still under the eunuch Wei Dynasty and is currently very busy.

The uncle's side is currently temporarily retained because of Tongwenmo.

After a brief exchange, he didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurried back to the palace.

History has undergone small changes, but the capital is still developing in the same vein as history.

The difference is that in terms of soldiers and horses, the Zhejiang soldiers and Tusi soldiers who fought in the internal strife are now under the efforts of Wang Hongyu, Zhou Dunji, and Zhang Shenwu to break the traitorous divide, and the friendship between the two armies has deepened and they are very good with the Sichuan army, and they have carried out dozens of joint combat exercises together.

Wang Hongyu's 500 soldiers and horses also trained with other veterans of the Sichuan Army, Shizhu White Pole Soldiers, Youyang Tusi Soldiers, and Zhejiang Soldiers.

After a flickering night, the brother-in-law hurriedly sent someone to deliver the message.

Wang Hongyu dealt with it calmly after knowing it, and shared it with Zhang Shenwu, Zhou Dunji and others in a small area.

Three days later, the news came with confirmation.

"The emperor is on a big trip!"

Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo died of a violent illness after reigning for 29 days.
