Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 894 Bound hands and feet
Jinyiwei Patrol Division, Military Jurisdiction Division, Public Security Division, Training Division, including the original South-North Zhenfu Division and Experience Division, each agency has its own rules and errands. What they do is share the responsibility, and then integrate the information and errands to communicate with each other. The commander of Jinyiwei is the final decision-maker and the higher-level counterpart.

When all commanders, commanders, and commanders are all there, the information collected from below and the errands they do will be integrated, and the communication with each other will be smooth.

For example, what news did the soldiers of the Patrol Department hear on the street, and the secret agents of the Public Security Department found out what was inside, and they all reported it layer by layer, and they all handed it over to Qianhu in their respective departments. The rich old officials will analyze and judge, and then assign the Patrol Division and the Military Judiciary Division to solve the problem.

Some major and sensitive matters are handed over to other yamen or higher-ups by the commander of Jinyiwei, so that no official duties will be delayed, and they can also respond to the capital's troubles.

Even if there is no reaction, the news can be uploaded to the ears of those who should know more quickly.

However, the two levels of Jin Yiwei Commander Tongzhi and Commander Qianshi have completely disappeared. Under the intentional or unintentional intentions of Emperor Wanli and Wang Tong, no one has been filling the vacancy.

In fact, the person who is in the middle of the dispatch is Yang Sichen. Yang Sichen has a reputation for raising people and does not have any official status in the Jinyiwei. Co-chaired by officials.

Although the people in the Zhenfu Division and the Experience Division refused to accept it, the Patrol Division, the Military Judicial Division, the Training Division, and the Public Security Division known as the "Xiaodongchang" all obeyed, so they could only hold their noses and obey the orders.

Of course, according to the official statement, Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of Jinyiwei, is in charge of Jinyiwei, but he is the head of the inner court, and he needs to make up his mind on many things in the world, so he doesn't pay too much attention to Jinyiwei, so Yang Sichen was actually in charge.

Jin Yiwei immediately became a little confused when Yang Sichen made a fuss. He went to ask Zhang Cheng for instructions. Eunuch Zhang didn't even have a eunuch in Jin Yiwei's yamen, so how could it be so easy to find someone in the palace.

Now it is the spies below who have heard the news, delivered it layer by layer, and want to hand it over to other departments for analysis and resolution. The various departments did not dare to stretch out their hands. What everyone was doing was official errands. One thing more is worse than one thing less.

The Department of Public Security knows the most news, but the Department of Public Security is the department directly under Wang Tong. Li Wenyuan operates this place like an iron bucket. The analysis and handling of intelligence and news here is the most efficient and level, but since Lu Wancai found Li Wenyuan to talk about it After one time, the Secretary of Public Security also became ineffective.

The overall chaos and slack in Jinyiwei made the palace receive less news, and Emperor Wanli and the big shots in the palace suddenly felt deaf.

Although the East Factory is also responsible for intelligence collection, the East Factory is too small, and many things have to be done by Jin Yiwei. In Jin Yiwei's situation, how can they be better.

Jin Yiwei's attention was loosened, and the things that people in the capital used to warn and monitor in the past have become neglected. Some things were just showing signs at first, and then they developed rapidly.

For example, at the gathering of Qingliu scholars, discussing how to go to school together and how to take countermeasures, Jin Yiwei might not pay attention to it at the beginning, but when there is a wave of words in the capital, they will become more cautious and send someone to watch. If it gets too noisy, they will beat around the bush with warnings, or even arrest people.

But no matter now, those Qingliu officials and scholars from all over the world communicated with each other, and then looked for foreign aid, and the snowball became bigger and bigger.

At the end of April and the beginning of May, the memorials from all over the world flew into the center like snowflakes, all of which were about the difference between senior and young. When the eldest son of the emperor was established as the crown prince, some people have already insinuated that Concubine Zheng is messing up the harem, and women are in charge of politics, just like Daji Characters, and some people cited the chaos caused by the establishment of elders and youngers in the past dynasties. If Emperor Wanli established a younger son but not an eldest son, the Ming Dynasty would be overthrown.

There are only so many learned people in the world, but there are many people who can go to the memorial. The propriety of the words in the memorial is really disrespectful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that some of them are talking nonsense.

At the beginning, it was Yang Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who fanned the flames and caused this incident, but more and more people entered, and there were more and more people who practiced Taiping boxing and gained a little fame. Fang Zheng It's the law that doesn't blame the public. The big shots in the court and the scholars in the opposition are all dismissed, so what's the point of dismissing yourself.

Most people do not have the qualifications to participate, so they will join their names. When the time comes, invite those who can perform to submit their joint names. This is also a credit to Xian.

The situation is getting more and more chaotic, bigger and bigger, but it gradually looks out of control. For Yang Wei and others, this is of course indifferent, and it can also strengthen his momentum, but for Emperor Wanli, it is getting worse. It's getting more and more troublesome, because the forces opposing this matter are getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure on him is getting bigger and bigger.

The performance of Shen Li, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, at the court meeting was the beginning, and then there was a commotion in the world, and the tide of words was turbulent. When he went to court, Emperor Wanli obviously didn't want to mention this matter.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Shangshu Yang Zhao of the Ministry of Industry sincerely asked Emperor Wanli to appoint the crown prince early. He did not have the awe-inspiring righteousness of Shen Li yesterday, and his words were agitated. If this continues, the government affairs will not be smooth, and even lead to turmoil in the country, and the early establishment of the crown prince is also a major event for the stability of the country and the inheritance of the country. Please make a decision early.

After Emperor Wanli was silent for a while, he saw that several other ministers wanted to speak, so he just gestured behind him, and the eunuch, who had already received the order, immediately sang loudly and said to retreat.

Since you can't argue with me, then I don't argue that Emperor Wanli's attitude was very simple. He turned around and left, but the courtiers were stunned.

The little eunuch who was serving in the palace came out with other news, saying that after Lord Long Live retired, Shen Li, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said in a cold voice to Shen Shixing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Wang Xijue, the second assistant, and Xu Guo, a scholar of the cabinet:

"The world is just and righteous, but the three people in the center, such as the public, stay out of it. Do you still have the wisdom of the sages in your mind?"

When this sentence was spread outside the palace, all the officials and scholars in the capital praised it, and everyone expressed their attitude, but the people in the cabinet never expressed their attitude, what is their attitude.

Some people even thought that if they could take this opportunity to overthrow the cabinet and elect Yang Wei and others into the cabinet, everyone would be happy. It would be very simple to write a memorial. Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and Xu Guo are treacherous memorials.

Such a deviation in Yan Chao may not be in the calculations of Yang Wei and others, but they have no intention of stopping it. It is beneficial and harmless to them, so why stop it?
The only one who can stay out of the matter is Zhang Xueyan, Minister of the Ministry of War. Zhang Xueyan has many disciples, and there are also many people with real power in the Ministry of Finance. He has never been willing to participate in such matters, and others will ignore him.

After Emperor Wanli retired from the court that day, he did not go to the court for the next six consecutive days.

Although he did not go to court, Emperor Wanli did not dare to ignore Zhang Cheng's heartfelt words that night. Zou Yi and Zhang Cheng's other confidantes ran around very frequently outside. Talk privately in the past, ask them where they stand, and see if you can win their support.

This support is no longer about making Zhu Changxun, the son of Concubine Zheng, the heir apparent, but about the fact that the two princes are still young. Can this matter be discussed later, so as not to make such a big fuss now.

But Emperor Wanli was very disappointed. Yang Wei and others were all grievous. Although Shen Shixing and others obeyed the order, they also pointed out that now that the public opinion is raging, the cabinet members dare not move against the public opinion, lest they burn themselves. , even if the supervisor of ceremonies obeys, the cabinet makes an order, and if it is rejected at that time, I am afraid it will be even more troublesome.

This is also the truth. After receiving the reward, Emperor Wanli felt helpless. Wang Tong said to him that day, "Your Majesty's family affairs are up to you, and no one else can control them." Hearing that, he felt confident and felt that this was the answer. But once it was done, it turned out to be so difficult.shrink back.

This is nothing, what made him even more angry was that on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, the eunuch Zhang Hong, the supervisor of ceremonies, asked to see him.

Zhang Hong is the chief inspector of ceremonies, supervising the army's Beijing camp, and has great power, but he really has nothing to do with Concubine Wang Gong and Zhu Changluo, so when he said this to the emperor, he had his own position.

Emperor Wanli beat Zhang Hong on the spot, but Zhang Hong kowtowed there and insisted on his opinion. Emperor Wanli wanted to remove Zhang Hong's errand, but was stopped by Zhang Cheng, who just asked Zhang Hong to go back and think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

When Zhang Hong left, Emperor Wanli scolded Zhang Cheng angrily and asked why he stopped him just now. Zhang Cheng's explanation was very simple. If you don't have the Beijing camp, those who are qualified may not be reassuring. In Zhang Hong's hands, at least you don't have to worry about the disturbance of the Beijing camp.

Emperor Wanli had no choice but to obey. You must know that the Beijing camp is jointly managed by the nobles, civil servants, and eunuchs.

The maids serving in the palace of the Qing Dynasty saw Concubine Zheng holding the baby and crying during the day, no one dared to spread the news
