Chapter 253 Copying the house is divided into three steps
Luo Bingliang didn't dare to say that he was the first in the world, after all, Zhao Mengyou of Beiya was also a ruthless person, but the kung fu of copying the family, Luo Bingliang said that he was the second in the world, and no one dared to be the first in the world.
Luo Bingliang's home raiding is too experienced!
The matter of copying the family originated from Zhou Li, "Zhou Li, Qiu Guan" contains: the gold penalty of the scholar, so even if it is a retro school, it is necessary to accept that the emperor has the right to copy the family, and there are gold fines and goods penalties above the three generations, of course, there are cheap Confucians who have always wanted to understand it as atoning for their sins with gold and silver goods, and then packaging it as a silver system.
For copying the family, the Ming Emperor has never given up his claim, of course, he has to bear the price, such as copying Zhang Juzheng, who didn't get much money for copying, and caused a commotion.
The copying of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the copying of the house by Emperor Gao, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was to be copied cleanly, so clean that even the dung in the dung pit had to be sold, and the earthworm was almost cut in half vertically.
There are three steps to open the door, find out the goods, and bring them back.
These simple three steps are often extremely difficult in the first step.
It is very difficult to kick open the door of the local giants, because these wealthy families are in the place, and they are not the existence of half of the local sky, and you have to copy these wealthy families, once they are operated by the wealthy families, then they may not only face the guardians of these large households, but also the people who are noisy and hired, and they block the way of the officials who copy the house.
At this time, the powerful gentlemen who have already heard the wind and smelled the smell will begin to transfer their family wealth.
"Ti Shuai, we know that they will transfer their property, why are we still so unhurried?" Thousands of households raised their doubts to Luo Bingliang, who was not resolute, but slow, like a garden outing, rushing to the other party.
Isn't that giving people time to transfer property?
"On the first day we arrived, someone sent a message to these powerful people, telling them that the horse face who asked for their lives is coming, do you believe it or not?" Luo Bingliang sat on the horse, let the horse walk slowly, and asked with a smile.
Under the emperor's account, there are two bull heads and horse noodles that ask for money, the bull head is Zhao Mengyou, the commander of the North Ti, and the horse face is Luo Bingliang, the commander of the South Ti, these two ghosts, the reason why they are trusted by the emperor is because their son is the emperor's sparring partner in the palace.
"The three classes and six rooms of the yamen of the government are all these powerful house slaves, and we didn't cover it up too much when we arrived, obviously someone knew, otherwise Wu Shiqi would not have been killed on the street, and there is no proof if you want to die, what Ti Shuai said is very true, we came out this time, they are afraid that they have already heard the rumors, this is the reason for the urging of subordinates." Thousands of households explained why they were urging.
What's the matter with this family raid?
The legendary horse noodles, is that level?
"It's to let them hide their money in other people's homes, otherwise how can you keep it? Otherwise, just such a family, copy 50,000 or 60,000 silver, and be worth a trip for Ti Shuai himself? Are you embarrassed to tell Your Majesty? Since on the cusp of this storm, you still have to help the Hu family cover up, it is obviously a luxury family with the same voice, or even an in-law, so just copy it together. Ti Shuai Luo Bingliang explained why he was not in a hurry.
Luo Bingliang raided the house, focusing on a melon vine and sitting down, so that these big dogs knew how powerful the court was, what kind of ability was it to copy a family, and it was the ability to pull out the radish and bring out the mud.
Only then did he suddenly realize that he was sentenced, and said with great admiration: "Feelings are putting a long line and catching big fish!" Ti is handsome and smart! ”
Since it is inevitable to hide property, let go of the other party to hide, and once it is verified, they will sit together, from one catch to dozens of catches, until they dare not kiss each other and hide it.
This is a major case of rebellion approved by His Majesty, since His Majesty said that Mr. Yan's wrongdoing, attacking Zhang Juzheng is a rebellion, a disobedience, and a rebellion.
If you don't have Nie Bao's life, but you have Nie Bao's disease, how can it be possible if you don't treat it?
Nie Bao is the secretary of the military department of the imperial court, the great Sima, that is the Ming Duke of the court, and the great disciple of Xinxue, so it is naturally extremely difficult to deal with.
If Tan Lun is against opening the sea now, His Majesty the Emperor can only remove Tan Lun if he can, no matter how much, His Majesty can't do it now, but Tan Lun won't, this is the reason why His Majesty is particularly generous to Da Sima, except for the matter of going to the front line to fight, the emperor can discuss.
"If the Hu clan is agitating for the villagers to protect themselves, how to deal with it?" Ti Qianhu asked with some curiosity, he wanted to learn to copy the house, this is the best practical teaching.
Luo Bingliang said in great detail: "Regardless of killing, in the face of the firearms, hook and sickle spears and long knives of the cavalry, those who still do not retreat must be domestic slaves, and they will be killed." ”
This time, three hundred horses were used, three hundred pairs of iron armor, fifteen bowls, thirty bees, thirty flattening guns, three hundred bird guns, one hundred and fifty riding guns, three hundred hook sickles, three hundred Qi sabers, three hundred war horses, and even pulled a six-pound steel gall flowering bullet field artillery, which is a new artillery of the Ming Dynasty, consigned by the artillery car designed by Qi Shuai, equipped with twelve flowering shells and twenty-four solid bullets.
This kind of firepower, put in the Wa country, then the high and low to get a guardian daimyo to play, well-trained soldiers, can even use battle to nourish the war, carry a knife to Luo.
This is Luo Bingliang's confidence to copy his family, in the face of such an equipped Ti Shuai, the people who are clamored and hired, are they really willing to charge forward to stop them?
The people are indeed easy to be agitated, but for the sake of a few buckets of rice, they hit the tip of the knife, knowing that it is a fire pit, and they still want to jump into it?
It is conceivable who is the person who rushes to the front and takes the lead, and Ti Qi is one of the yamen who is not afraid of the crime of indiscriminate killing of innocents, Zhejiang Fu Zhu Su was forced to commit suicide because he was slandered and killed innocents, and Ling Yunyi was also notorious because he was good at killing.
But Tiqi is doing this job, which is also the reason why Tiqi is notorious, Jinyiwei is the department that the emperor used to do dirty work, without this awareness, how did he get into Jinyiwei?
The Ti Cavalry is His Majesty's Ti Cai, not the Ti Cai of the civil and military officials, the owner of the Ti Cai is His Majesty, and he only needs to be responsible for His Majesty, His Majesty has made a clear decree to implicate, so it is just the opportunity to find out these people.
"Ti is handsome and clever!" Thousands of households said sincerely.
Ti riding on the way into the Hu family, did encounter obstacles, some green forest heroes, originally planned to shout that this road is my open, but this 'this' word has not yet exited, responsible for the exploration of the point of the hero, directly report, these masters can never be provoked, otherwise it will be angry, I am afraid that it is halfway, by the way to the swing;
In fact, why don't the people understand where their suffering comes from? The wicked who oppresses themselves every day, or the wicked who are far away in the sky, which one do they hate, obviously not the emperor who has never been seen in a lifetime, whoever rides on the heads of the people every day to make a fortune, the people will hate him.
Even those who are powerful and right-handed, after being bullied, will also know the cause of the tragedy, the court's harsh criticism of the levy tax is one thing, but how can this be serious in the township's private demands, the main body of this stripping, has always been carried out by these powerful and right-handed.
Therefore, Tiqi came to Hu's house smoothly.
The time was ripe to kick open the door of the Hu family, so the cavalry pulled the cannon to the door of the house and asked the Hu family to open the door, and the Hu family could only open the gate honestly.
How to raid the house, copy it cleanly, and find out all the hidden property? This is also an extremely mature plan for Tiqi.
"Surround them, starve them for ten days and half a month, people, the most afraid is hunger, hungry and dizzy, they don't listen to anything, and they can't even care about the love between father and son, let's catch those who run away first, and starve while catching, and neither side will delay." Luo Bingliang has come to the door that has been opened, if this gate can withstand one shot, then another shot will be.
"Caught?" Qianhu couldn't help but shudder and asked tentatively.
Luo Bingliang said with great conviction: "Hungry him for ten days and half a month." ”
His Majesty once said: It is shameless to be polite, righteous and honest with hungry people, everyone wants to eat, and if you don't eat, you will be hungry.
Luo Bingliang didn't invent any torture, in fact, he couldn't commit it, the will of these people, without any torture, just a hungry, hungry he panicked, hungry his eyes were green, hungry his intestines were empty, so he recruited everything.
If you are hungry and still refuse to recruit, if you have such perseverance, why not rebel?
Luo Bingliang once tried it himself, only drank water, was hungry for three days, was dizzy from hunger, and couldn't stand up, even his own son Luo Sigong came to ask him to call his father, he would also shout, this is not a matter of will, it is a matter of living, when he is hungry and dizzy, how firm his faith must be to bear it and refuse to give in?
Luo Bingliang felt that he was firm enough that he couldn't bear it for three days, how long can these guys resist? Don't be in a hurry, just get hungry slowly, give a little water every day, and then use their money in front of them, eat big fish and meat, and drink good wine, which is completely enough.
Luo Bingliang settled in Hu's house and began his performance, which he was showing how to find out as much as possible all the possessions, and it was an effective means and strategy.
"Ti Shuai, why is it that the fatter people are, the more they can't bear to be hungry?" Mention Qianhu once again raised his doubts, he found that the firmness of the will or not, actually has something to do with fat and thin, it stands to reason that the thicker the fat, the more anti-hunger, because there is more meat, it will not be so hungry, but practice has proved that it is the opposite.
The fatter you get, the more you can't stand hunger.
"Because he eats a lot." Luo Bingliang explained this problem clearly.
At the beginning, he was also puzzled, because he was born in the army, and the long-distance march from the military has a great advantage, and the meat will be consumed, so he raises fat and fat on weekdays, and the fat and strong general's belly is a good figure, which is the envy of the soldiers, and the purpose of raising fat is completely to increase endurance.
But in the process of raiding the house, the fatter the person, the more he couldn't bear the hunger, and immediately left him, which is wrong with the cognition of the soldiers.
The reason is also very simple, that is, I eat too much, I eat too much, I am fat, and I really can't bear it when I encounter something.
It's all meat, and there is still a difference in who it grows on.
"I see!" Thousands of households suddenly realized, carefully made notes, hungry others are also very knowledgeable, during this interrogation, the use of hunger method, the most effective, both decent and efficient.
The most important thing in interrogation is repeated interrogation, and if the preface does not match the afterword, you will be hungry for one more day, and if one of the three people has a different confession from others, you will be hungry for one more day, and if you are undecided, you will be hungry for one more day, and if you are hungry for one more day, you will be more sincere.
In this way, there will be basically no difference.
People's memories are wrong, especially the confessions of subordinates, most of which are hearsay, and they need to be corroborated by many parties before they can be believed to be true.
The evidence and evidence that instructed Wu Shiqi to attack Zhang Juzheng and oppose the New Deal were quickly found and the chain of evidence was complete.
Hu is because the governor Song Yi looked at Qingzhang to return to the field, to make a disturbance, as soon as he heard that there was an opportunity, naturally he would not let go, and it was the Hu family who instructed Wu Shiqi to be the natural, but others were not necessarily so clean, under the explanation of the Hu family, six families were copied one after another, and when they were copied to the sixth family, finally no one transferred the property anymore, because it was transferred to someone else's house, and others would not help, so as not to avoid it.
As for burying the pigsty, under the law of starvation and interrogation, there is nothing to hide, even the dung in the dung pit is His Majesty's, and you still want to hide the silver?
As for escaping? The years that need to be guided, even if you change your name and surname, you can't run far, but all the big roads, you have to lead the way, no one dares to break into the small roads, there are not only jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes and insects in the mountains and forests, but also bandits, these bandits don't dare to provoke big families on weekdays, but the big ones are alone, so it's not crazy to rob?
Luo Bingliang quickly made the details of the house and sealed the box.
The problem of copying it has been solved perfectly, and the next step is to take the silver away, which is often the hardest part.
"Liu Qianhu, we used to raid the house in the Ming Dynasty, and it was necessary to divide the account in three or seven." Luo Bingliang smiled and talked about the past to the thousands of households.
Qianhu was surprised and said, "Why is it only seventy percent?" ”
"Seventy percent are from other people!" Luo Bingliang glanced sideways and sentenced thousands of households.
These three or seven points are not three for the court and seven for the emperor.
These three or seven points are not three for the court and seven for the emperor.
But in place seven, the court and the emperor are divided into three, for example, Xu Jie's copy of Yan Song's house, it is like this, there are not many points in the court, the court and the emperor are divided into one point, and then they are divided into Xu Jie, how much is there?
That's it, when Emperor Sejong left, the silver still didn't reach the emperor's hands.
Dividing accounts, in fact, is also one of the resistance to the opening of the sea, the Ming magistrates also do not like to open the sea, because the local can not get any benefits, but because of the construction of a large number of requisitioned households, delay farming, all the proceeds of the opening of the sea are owned by the court and the emperor, so the local direction to oppose, more than one thing is better than less thing.
But the opening of the sea during the Wanli period, but was supported by the magistrates, without him, the emperor will escort the customs duties to the Beijing Division, feed back to the locality, although only about 20% of the total taxes, but for the promotion of local development, it is enough, after all, the shipyard, the city of the ship are the imperial court to pay for supervision, but to promote the local economy.
It is true that it is necessary to divide the account, and you can't just let the horse run and not let the horse eat grass, but this night the grass eats too much, and it is not a matter if the fat can't run.
"Who is it for?" Qianhu was shocked into a cold sweat, wiped it, and asked blankly.
Luo Bingliang turned over his horse, looked at the Hu family that had been demolished into ruins, and said with emotion: "First of all, we must be filial to the governor, then we must be filial to the prefect, and we must also be filial to the officials who take inventory, and finally we must be filial to the local luxury households, otherwise the Qin who raided the house will not want to take away a penny at all." ”
"Do you want to honor the luxury? Aren't we here to copy them? "Thousands of households are confused again, why!
"It is easy to understand to the governor and prefect, why do you honor the local luxury households? Indeed, this family has fallen, but the other families have not fallen, and if they don't give it, all kinds of bizarre things will happen, so they should leave seventy percent and take the rest away. Luo Bingliang first explained the reason, it's not that he doesn't want to take it back, but he really can't bring it back.
In particular, large-scale assets such as acres and manors can be taken over by a few local giants, and they are sold at a low price without anyone taking over, which leads to the fact that various local assets cannot be discounted and cannot be discounted into silver, and these acres and manors cannot be taken away at all.
This is what Zhang Juzheng often mentions: the general tacit understanding between meat eaters.
Therefore, the Ming Emperor in the past was too lazy to copy the house, because he wanted to register the case of no family property, the time was very long, and he was given enough time to buy acres of land, and then it became a fixed asset.
So, taking it away is also a university question.
"And now? To give or not to give? The sentence Qianhu looked at the account book in his hand, and asked with a little anxiety, the account book has been prepared, if it is not reported truthfully, who will bear the crime of bullying the king, if it is reported truthfully, these acres and houses will not be taken away at all.
When the emperor asks the responsibility for ineffective work, who will bear this responsibility, it will become a problem, and the punishment of thousands of households looked at themselves, and took themselves out of the old accounts, it seems that it is just right, the official rank is not low enough to bear the matter, and the official rank is not high enough to keep himself.
After learning the law of copying the house for a long time, the prisoner is actually myself?
Luo Bingliang looked at the sun again, and the scorching sun was in the sky.
"I want to give, you see if they want it, dare to stretch out their hands, Hai Zongxian will dare to hold him, hold a beheading for him to show the public, or exile the border party, it depends on how much you take." Luo Bingliang said happily: "Mr. Zhang actually doesn't like Mr. Hai very much, because Mr. Hai is too honest, everyone knows that when the water is clear, there is no fish, in this officialdom, there is no corruption at all, it can't work at all, either the corruption is legal, or it is acquiesced." ”
"In fact, Mr. Hai also acquiesced, for example, 300,000 taels of silver to control the water, and took 3,000 taels of silver together, Mr. Hai didn't have the time to pursue it."
"Anti-corruption and tax auditing are the same, both are costly, this bit of silver, the general constitution of the sea, is really overkill."
"But for 300,000 taels of silver, if you take 100,000 taels, Hai Zongxian will kill him directly, and he will not tolerate mercy."
Anti-corruption requires costs, and the number of these costs can be quite a lot, a ledger of 300,000 taels of silver, in this era of one piece of timber and seven silver, at least more than 1,000 taels of silver is needed, this is the cost of accounting for the ledger and collecting information, and the cost of anti-corruption and tax auditing are almost the same.
This has led to a small fight, and Mr. Hai must also pay attention to whether it is worth shooting.
At present, arithmetic talents are high-cost labor, and the expenditure of labor is a huge expense.
But 300,000 taels of silver are shoddy, and there are 100,000 taels of white just from the thickness of the red envelope, so you can't blame Mr. Hai for being careful.
If you don't work hard, don't be lazy, focus on the one that doesn't have long eyes, the court has the wind to prohibit corruption, then it is all convergent, small movements, and you have to always, the wind is blowing, and you have to go against the wind, that is, you don't have long eyes.
"Then don't give it, these acres of houses, just let them rot like this? Otherwise, who would buy it? "Thousands of households were confused again.
"Who said it was going to be sold?! Have a field and a house, sell it? What a pity! Recruiting displaced people to reclaim the land, even saving the construction of houses, and sending the fields out is not much more expensive than a hammer sale? Luo Bingliangzhi said proudly: "Those guest soldiers who are about to be dismissed can come here to take charge of the planting of official fields." ”
"Kill more than one stone."
During the Wanli period, even copying the house was more comfortable.
The confiscated acres of land and family houses are no longer sold, but directly used as means of production, although the cycle of returning to the capital is long, but it is stable enough, His Majesty is not a person who is eager for quick success, Zhang Juzheng proposed to exterminate the Japanese in 20 years, and I don't know if it can be done, His Majesty agreed.
The emperor was not in a hurry for quick success, and gave Luo Bingliang room to dispose of these properties.
The reason why Zhu Yijun treated Zhang Juzheng with great courtesy, and even planned to get him a Ming Regent to play in front of him, was because the decrees he implemented were actually carried out on the basis of Zhang Juzheng's decree, and it was Zhang Juzheng who laid the foundation, so Zhu Yijun could do this.
Zhang Juzheng put forward the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army, so the imperial court had some people who could be used, some of these guest soldiers were weak, some were sick, and some were injured, and they may not be able to keep up with the pace on the battlefield, but it is enough to be a local official.
Therefore, if Zhang Juzheng does not strengthen the army, Zhu Yijun can only sell it cheaply, take a little bit of the income, and finally end up with a notoriety of accumulation.
Now there is no need to sell cheaply, raid the house, and from now on, you don't have to look at the face of the local situation.
Ti Shuai Luo Bingliang escorted all the criminals to Ningguo Mansion, sent Chen Zhuang and Hu to the seven elders of the Hu family on the hydrofoil sailboat, and sent them to Beijing as soon as possible, and the income from the seizure was also sent to Beijing for His Majesty's imperial view, if His Majesty is still not satisfied, it's okay, Luo Bingliang is just to Ningguo Mansion, Nanya Fourteen Mansions, rain and dew are stained Luo Bingliang has to run again, and by the way, he will check taxes.
When Chen Zhuang was sent to Beijing, Zhu Yijun just got off the court, and he didn't change his clothes, so he went to the prison of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, and looked at Chen Zhuang who was tied there.
It was Chen Zhuang who fought bravely to kill the enemy when he was peaceful, and after he was dismissed, he did not hesitate to be a lackey of Quan Hao's minions and lackeys and killed people without blinking, which is also Chen Zhuang, so is Chen Zhuang a gentleman or a villain?
"Second assistant, can I forgive one or two?" Zhu Yijun did not announce it, and he did not feel compassion and pity Chen Zhuang, but showed his attitude of Zhenwu.
Wang Chonggu is the secretary of the criminal department, and when he heard the emperor ask like this, he immediately sweated profusely, which makes His Majesty lenient or not?
"Your Majesty is wise and wise, and the minister does not dare to put his beak." Wang Chonggu chose to express his position, the position of the clay cabinet, the emperor said that he did not object to anything, you Zhang Juzheng taught such a scheming and eloquent little emperor, and he went to Xishan to hide and relax, and handed over the problem of blaming Chen Shanyanjun to him Wang Chonggu.
His Majesty is right, that is, Wang Chonggu's attitude.
"If you don't behead the public, let him hang himself, it's also decent." Zhu Yijun always felt that Chen Zhuang had become like this, Xu Jie was responsible, when Hu Zongxian died and the guest soldiers were dismissed, how many Chen Zhuang came?
Zhu Yijun didn't sympathize with Chen Zhuang's punishment, he deserved to die, he deserved to die if he had the blood of innocent people on his hands, but Chen Zhuang deserved to die, and Xu Jie deserved to die.
Zhang Juzheng is in the court, Zhu Yijun has to take care of Zhang Juzheng's reputation and can't do his best;
But Zhang Juzheng left the dynasty, and Xu Jie's death date arrived.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Wang Chonggu sang praises, beheaded the public, and hanged himself to death, which did not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but these two ways of death were obviously a bit decent for hanging, which was the dignity of Chen Zhuang, a fierce rebel who had made contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yijun looked at Chen Zhuang's figure, and Chen Zhuang looked at the ground of the prison with blank eyes, dumbfounded, playing with a grass stalk in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking, or he didn't think about anything.
"At the beginning, Mr. said that it was difficult to settle the guest soldiers, so the disposal of the guest soldiers under Yin Butang also caused a discussion in the DPRK and China, and the disposal of the guest soldiers is indeed a matter that needs special attention." Zhu Yijun talked about the old things, Zhang Juzheng is really bitter, this guest soldier is a double-edged sword, he can win, but he is also easy to hurt himself, and it is easy to have problems.
The guest soldiers of Liangguang finally went to Luzon, and they were still guest soldiers, and they were not guests in other places. The imperial court still can't stand these soldiers who fought for the country, but this is already the best result, when Yin Zhengmao went to sea, but after the court's game, fortunately, the result was not bad.
"In fact, it is also very good for the guest soldiers to go to the official factory to maintain law and order, and there will be a place for the soldiers to go when they get old in the future." Wang Chonggu secretly rubbed and preached for his own resettlement of hooligans, the key is that his advocacy is not a joke, an official factory with nearly 10,000 people, and a place where tens of thousands of craftsmen and families have gathered nearby, really needs these old guest soldiers to continue to maintain law and order.
"What the second assistant said is reasonable, and it is excellent." Zhu Yijun is still very satisfied with Wang Chonggu, it was him who trespassed at the beginning, and now he is also loyal to the monarch, although he is somewhat forced.
"I heard that Yicheng Bofu has been very lively recently, and people keep visiting?" Zhu Yijun turned around and left the prison, and did not talk to Chen Zhuang, but told an interesting story, when Zhang Juzheng left the court, the Beijing officials all ran to congratulate Wang Chonggu who was released from prison, and few people went to see Zhang Juzheng.
Now they are all looking for Zhang Juzheng to go out of the mountain, and if they don't invite Juzheng ancestor out of the mountain, the little emperor really can't stand anyone, and there is no one who even blames Chen Shan, Hai Rui even applauded.
Taking this demon book case as an example, Zhang Juzheng is involved, Zhang Juzheng will only choose to calm things, but His Majesty will choose to sit with melons and vines, this is the difference, who let the child start lightly or heavily?
The court officials who came back and came back really went to invite Zhang Juzheng.
"All of them were blocked back, and Mr. Zhang didn't see anyone." Wang Chonggu said with great certainty, with a smile on his face, he was really a group of dogs who saw the wind and steered the rudder.
After Wang Chonggu was released from prison, when he had a friendly exchange with his son Wang Qian, he said that this group of court officials were dogs, and he still has this attitude.
"Hahaha! I can't even see it, they still want to see it? Hahaha! Zhu Yijun crossed his waist and laughed, Zhang Juzheng was completely closed in Xishan, not only refused to see the emperor, but also the court officials.
His return to politics is not for fun, let alone for show.
Some things, that's it, since you have made a choice, you have to do it to the end, Zhang Juzheng has been telling his Emperor Majesty, Your Majesty, things must be done in an end, so that things can really be done, even if it is wrong, we must be firm, and when doing things, we must correct mistakes and omissions little by little, and achieve the goal.
If you give up halfway, you will achieve nothing, this is the truth that Zhang Juzheng taught Zhu Yijun to be a man.
"Sir is really ruthless, I can't see it." Zhu Yijun shook his hand, also a little annoyed and helpless.
Emperor Wanli did stick to the end, Wanli did not go to court for thirteen years, and insisted until the day he left, and he was extremely firm. Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!!
