Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 891
Ever since Concubine Zheng's son Zhu Changxun was born, anyone with a little political common sense in the world knew that sooner or later the matter of establishing a reserve would be brought up.

If Emperor Wanli favored Concubine Wang Gong, this Concubine Zheng was just an indifferent person, and the eldest son of the emperor would naturally be the crown prince, there is no doubt about it.

Concubine Gong is an ordinary concubine when she gives birth to a prince. Concubine Zheng was already a concubine before she gave birth to a son. Now she has given birth to a son. He forced himself to go back, judging from various aspects, the meaning of Emperor Wanli was very clear.

According to the rules, the eldest son should be the crown prince, but Emperor Wanli didn't think so, this matter would have to be entangled repeatedly, and everyone in the field could understand the inner court and the outer court.

However, for more people, this represents an opportunity. The more this will be repeated, the more opportunities to bet and speculate, not to mention the involvement of Li Chu.

If you contribute to the establishment of the reserve at this time, the prince will become the emperor in the future, and those who contribute will be rewarded in various ways. There are too many examples of this in the past dynasties.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Han Qi's ability was inferior to that of Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, but his status was far higher, and he was honored for generations. Because of something, he was in the right position on the establishment of the reserve. It paid off afterwards.

The Son of Heaven is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, everyone wants to please, and he will not care about other people's flattery and flattery, but if he can contribute or show favor to the other party before he becomes the emperor, it will be of great benefit. It’s good, let’s talk about who is far away, Lu Buwei bet on the King of Qin, and finally became the prime minister of Qin, who is closer, how many of the many eunuchs and cabinet scholars in Ming Dynasty are the companions of the East Palace. The prince is accompanying me, isn't Feng Bao?Isn't Zhang Cheng?Isn't Zhang Juzheng?Isn't Xu Jie?
This is a soaring and profitable thing, everyone knows to catch it, but everyone knows that the person who is the first to be the first bird will definitely be guilty. Emperor Wanli is too lazy to pay attention to the words and officials, but he will never do it if he really wants to. Soft-handed, everyone has worked so hard to get to the current position after taking the imperial examinations. If they are disposed of, everything will be in vain, and even if they are right, after being dismissed from office, who knows whether they will be remembered in the future.

The purpose of most Qing rumors and officials speaking outright is to gain benefits and gain fame. If they do this and suffer losses and lose their hard-earned official positions, then it is not worth it.

As for upholding the principles of sages and sages, people's livelihood is suffering, spying on injustices, no one's brain has been damaged after studying for so many years, and no one would do such stupid things.

If someone dares to make a move, then everyone will swarm to follow, and the harm will be much less. There are many people who go to the siege, so there is a saying that the law does not punish the public. If you want to punish, it is natural to attack the leader. , everyone is naturally willing to do justice to this kind of thing.

Even if you don't get any benefits, you can still get a reputation for being outspoken, right? In the future, you can also boast that you have won the battle for the establishment of the reserve.

From the point of view of civil servants as a whole, after Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Siwei worried that the power of Emperor Wanli was too great. He became more and more accustomed to relying on eunuchs and military commanders to do things, leaving scholar-bureaucrats aside. In the long run, what is the use of civil servants? , If things go on like this, what's the use of reading.

There must be an action to let the current emperor know that he will be restricted by the courtiers, and he cannot do whatever he wants. The matter of establishing a crown prince must be the most important thing for Emperor Wanli, so everyone will come to fight for it.

Personal interests, righteousness of sages, interests of scholars, these are the reasons for everyone to act, but there is another key point is that in June this year, the Jingchao will start.

Although Yang Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, did not say it clearly, the news has already been spread by his disciples. If anyone is against the mainstream or stays out of the matter in this battle for the appointment of the crown prince, then wait until the Jingcha to see the truth!
If you succeed in the imperial examination and are selected as an official, as long as you are not too stupid and don’t offend people who can’t afford to offend, you will be able to sit firmly in the official position, and your boss has no right to replace you for no reason, and neither can the boss’s boss. There must be a reason, and even if there is a reason, it depends on whether other people approve or not.

The same is true for promotion and transfer, unless the emperor personally speaks today, but the emperor manages all kinds of affairs every day, how many officials below the fifth rank can he remember?

But in the Jingchao, the promotion, demotion, dismissal, and transfer of all officials of the fifth rank and below in the capital, and the fourth rank in other provinces (including prefects) are all under the decision of the Ministry of Officials.

In fact, it is equivalent to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Department of Wenxuan deciding whether you will stay or not, and this is the Ming Dynasty's rules and regulations, and there is no reason to resist.

What you say is all lies, the benefits of getting it, the position under the buttocks is the real one, if you don't participate, you will lose your official position, who dares to take this risk, and to participate in this event, it is not yourself who is the leader, and some Benefits, why not participate.

************
Censor He Geshizhong is not of high rank, but he is a real speaker. Those who can be in this position naturally have a good pen and can write good articles.

Yao Bo's wife and children are in the hands of others, so naturally he didn't dare to be negligent, and he eloquently wrote more than three thousand words, citing the scriptures and allusions wonderfully.

"What do you mean that the country is unstable without a prince? If something happens to me, the country will be in chaos."

Wanli took out the memorial directly at the court meeting, and said with a sneer while shaking the memorial in his hand in front of the six ministers of the cabinet.

Before the memorial was delivered to the palace, many of these bigwigs had already read the full text. It was not very surprising to see Emperor Wanli react like this. Some people lowered their heads slightly, but more people were watching. Emperor Wanli.

The treatment of Wang Tong last year was obviously a way to show the emperor's scheming. Why did these ministers in the court have their own ideas more and more after that? Emperor Wanli was thinking about this idea, and the expressions of the following ministers fell into his eyes , but it made him even more angry.

Emperor Wanli wanted to say something but stopped. He put his hand on the armrest, put it down again, and finally stood up, threw the notebook in his hand to the ground, and cursed:
"You bastard who has no king and no father, is this looking forward to the early death of the widow!!"

Emperor Wanli was panting heavily, his eyes turned red, and he glanced at the ministers in the palace. In this situation, Shen Shixing coughed lightly, led the crowd to kneel down, and said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Over there, Zhang Cheng and the eunuchs also knelt down and said the same words. There was nothing wrong with this response, and it was quite satisfactory, but it did not have the slightest effect on alleviating Emperor Wanli's anger. Emperor Wanli looked around, and everyone lowered their heads. There's not much anyone can do to help.

Taking a few breaths there, Emperor Wanli sat back on his chair, waved his hand and said:
"It's not like you are going to the school, you all get up, this bastard, I will be severely punished, who is instigating such nonsense, Zhang Cheng, arrange for Jin Yiwei to take it, go to prison and ask!"

Since the commander of Jinyiwei made Wang Tong go to Guihua City, the various divisions of Jinyiwei reported to the superiors that they did not go to the only remaining commander, but directly reported to the eunuch Zhang Cheng, who was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and Zou Yina, the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial horse supervisor. While asking for instructions, Emperor Wanli also sent the order directly there, but Zhang Cheng did not answer there.

Emperor Wanli was stunned, then furious, turned his head to look, but saw Zhang Cheng's face turned bitter, and he shook his head vigorously. Emperor Wanli just turned his head to take a look, and some of the ministers who had just got up had already knelt down and raised their voices. said in a voice:
"Your Majesty, officials are not guilty of words. Although Yao Bo is rebellious, there is some truth in what he said. Your Majesty, the country is the most important thing, and everything is considered. For the country and the country, for the ancestors. Your Majesty has a son, and he should be the heir. , Deciding on a name can reduce the opportunity for treacherous villains to take advantage of, so that the country will last for generations, if not, there will be times when you dare not speak out, if the name is not correct, there may be chaos!"

The voice of the minister kneeling on the ground was sonorous and powerful, and his expression was also very resolute. Emperor Wanli pondered for a while with a sullen face, and said:
"Shen Li, why are you in such a hurry about my widow's family affairs? Could it be that Yao Bo was instigated by you?"

Shen Li kowtowed on the ground, straightened his upper body again and said:
"Your Majesty, the heavenly family has no personal affairs. Your Majesty's family affairs are related to the country and the country. That is the affairs of the world. As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, this great ceremony is naturally duty-bound. The order of the elders and the young is the most reasonable thing in human relations. The eldest son of the emperor is now healthy and intelligent. , Why did not determine the name, Yao Bo dared to speak out, what is wrong with what he said, your majesty can learn from it!"

Emperor Wanli clenched the armrests tightly with both hands, wanting to stand up and explode, but felt that he had no confidence. He glanced at the group of people under the seat.

In the three cabinets of Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Xu Guo, Zhang Xueyan, Minister of the Ministry of War, would not be with Shen Li, but Yang Wei (Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials), Wang Lin (Shangshu of the Ministry of Households), Shu Hua (Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment), and Yang Zhao (Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry) and Zhao Jin (Zuodu Yushi) are one school.

But the members of Shen Shixing would not argue with Yang Wei's faction over this matter. Emperor Wanli also knew the attitude of the civil servants outside, and he didn't want to prematurely discuss this matter. Open it, but he didn't want to, but he didn't expect that the speaker outside opened it first.

Among the courtiers, either stood by or stood firmly behind Lichang. Emperor Wanli did not have any alliances. He subconsciously turned his head to look, and he might be able to rely on the internal officials. Zhang Cheng looked respectful, Zhang Jing bowed his head slightly, Zhang Honghe Tian Both Yi and Yi had expressions of appreciation on their faces.

Eunuch Zhang Hong, the supervisor of ceremonies, and Tian Yi, the accompanying eunuch, supported Li Chang. Emperor Wanli knew that there were so many people who were against him, and whether he had the ability to subdue them all.
