It is said that the great monarchs of the past dynasties would cause visions in the heaven and earth when they were born. This is true at all times and in all countries.

Although there are no exceptions between China and foreign countries in ancient and modern times, there are great differences between China and foreign countries in terms of specific implementation plans.

For example, in 1453 AD, Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire led an army of 80,000 to capture Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul. The country’s history books say that when this man was born, all the land owned by the Ottomans at that time was

Crop harvests* increased by 40%. At that time, people in Constantinople all saw fiery red meteors streaking across the sky...

How dare you brag about this poor imagination?

The great kings of China throughout the ages must have auspicious signs when they are born. The descriptions in the Banban history books are only what you can't imagine, and there are no historians who can't write them down.

According to the agreement of the gods, after the seven selected people are born, the entire space will be sealed. But in order to send these seven people in, the gods need to stay in this space for a short time. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor gave Wang Dong the birth

It created enough momentum.

When Wang Dong's biological mother in this life began to have fetal movements, a colorful aurora that was absolutely impossible to see at this latitude suddenly appeared in the sky over Yanjing City in the Ming Dynasty. The aurora was so large that it completely covered most of the sky.

Along with the aurora, countless cranes suddenly appeared from the sky, and then circled and danced around the residence of the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo.

After a while, the sky suddenly became dense with clouds. After that, a blue dragon appeared in the clouds. I saw this blue dragon hovering in the sky for a while, attracting millions of officials and citizens throughout Yanjing City to marvel. Suddenly there was a loud sound.

The dragon roared, and then with lightning speed, it rushed down. Then, amid the exclamations of many servants in the eldest son's mansion, it turned into a shadow and fell into the belly of Guo, the wife of the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo.

…

When the time came, the Yellow Emperor exited this space. After losing the support of the ancestor, the aurora disappeared quickly, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and the crane suddenly disappeared. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud cry of a newborn baby in Zhu Changluo's mansion.

"The blue dragon appears in the world, and the cranes circle the beams. This is the birth of the saint! Go out and investigate quickly to see whose house the blue dragon in the sky ended up in?"

The same order was quickly issued to the homes or official residences of various dignitaries in Yanjing City. Countless servants were driven out by their owners to inquire about Canglong's whereabouts.

Of course, since it was the ancestor who took action, there would be no obvious omissions. The men sent by various dignitaries all returned to their respective masters very clearly in the end: Canglong entered the residence of the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo, and then inside the residence of the emperor's eldest son.

News spread that Guo, the royal wife of the eldest son of the emperor, had given birth to a son!

"I see, God bless me!"

"Hehehe, even God can't stand the struggle over the country that has lasted for fifteen years?"

"Come here, put some paper and ink on it, sir, I want a copy! This time, the emperor should have nothing to say!"

"How could this happen? How could this happen? I don't know where the master Chang Luo invited him from, but he actually performed such a grand illusion! Come here, help me change my clothes. I want to see the emperor!"

Just when the ministers were gearing up to prepare for a new round of national offensive, and Concubine Zheng and her party were panicking, Wang Zhizhen, the admiral in charge of the book in Jinyiweitang, was in the imperial study of Emperor Wanli, nervously making a report.

"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards have found out that the Canglong did enter the residence of the eldest son of the Emperor after descending from the sky. The servants in the palace also confirmed that the Canglong entered the Guo family's belly. After a few breaths, Guo

She gave birth to a son. I sent five general banners to investigate this matter, but the news they came back with was the same."

"Alas~~" Wanli let out a long sigh and waved his hand feebly: "I understand."

"In this case, I will retire."

"Go ahead."

After Wang Zhizhen withdrew, Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and Chen Ju, who was supervising the affairs of the Dongchang, flashed out from behind the thick curtain: "Your Majesty, I also sent the stall owner of the Dongchang to verify it. I found it out.

The news is the same as what the Jin Yiwei spies heard."

After saying this, Chen Ju knelt down and bowed: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, it is a great auspicious sign that Cang Long was born into our royal family of the Ming Dynasty!"

When Canglong appeared in the world, who was the most nervous at first? Of course it was the royal family: Could it be that the sky was dissatisfied with the Zhu family and wanted to send down the Holy Emperor to carry out a revolution? After multiple sources gathered information, it became clear that Canglong still entered the Zhu family.

Emperor Wanli was of course relieved.

However, after feeling relieved, Wanli still felt depressed.

Why? This drama of national war cannot continue.

Emperor Wanli now had seven sons, of whom the second and fourth sons died in infancy, while the fifth son survived. None of these seven sons were born to the queen. In other words, they were all bastards.

Among them, the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo, was born in the tenth year of Wanli (1582). His birth was an accident. His biological mother, Concubine Wang Gong, was originally a palace maid. By chance, one day, Emperor Wanli got into the mood and clapped casually, and then there was

He. As for the emperor's feelings for Concubine Wang Gong? It is basically certain that there is no trace at all.

The third son of the emperor, Zhu Changxun, was born in the 14th year of Wanli. His biological mother, Concubine Zheng, was extremely favored by Emperor Wanli.

However, according to the etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years in the orthodox Chinese dynasty, there are direct descendants and no direct descendants. The eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo, should naturally be established as the crown prince.

However, Wanli did not do this. Not only did he not make Zhu Changluo the crown prince, he also expressed implicitly or openly that he wanted to make the third son of the emperor Zhu Changxun the crown prince.

This, of course, aroused the opposition of the ministers. Then the emperor and the ministers quarreled over this. Because the prince is the future and foundation of the country, so arguing about who should be the prince is fighting for the foundation of the country. This is Wanli of the Ming Dynasty

The national struggle of the times.

This dispute over the country's foundation has lasted for too long. It started in the 14th year of Wanli (1586) when the then chief minister Shen Shixing Shangshu proposed to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince but was rejected by the Wanli Emperor. Until now, it has continued.

It’s been almost fifteen years.

In the past fifteen years, four chief ministers of the cabinet (Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping, Zhao Zhigao, and Wang Xijue) and more than ten ministerial-level officials were forced to resign. More than 300 central and local officials were involved, and more than 100 of them were dismissed.

, dismissed from office, sent to the army. Emperor Wanli himself also refused to go to court for a long time because every time he went to court, his ministers would make complaints about this matter. In the end, he simply created a historical record of an emperor not going to court for twenty years.

Of course, there may not be many other things in the Ming Dynasty, but there are so many people who want to be officials. Therefore, the resignation and dismissal of officials is nothing.

The Great Court Meeting is just a ritual and a formality. Have you never heard of that saying: a small meeting is held to decide big things, and a big meeting is held to discuss small things. Therefore, if the emperor does not go to court, it actually has no real impact on the operation of the country.

Impact.

However, the biggest sequela of the national dispute is: because too many ministers were dismissed from office because of the same thing, these officials with different personalities, ages, regions, and beliefs actually had a common goal. This made the Ming Dynasty

Officials began to form cross-regional parties consciously or unconsciously - the embryonic form of the Donglin Party began to emerge because of the dispute between the country and the country. And the terrible thing is, because these guys are the most aggressive and scolding in the dispute between the country and the country.
