Standing in the hall of the East Factory, looking through the intelligence collected from various places by secret agents, Shen Lie couldn't help but fall into confusion.
"Our eldest son is the emperor..."
Shen Lie sighed quietly.
The birth of the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, was completely a mistake. It was a tragedy caused by the drunkenness of the young emperor.
It was the birth of the emperor's eldest son that brought an end to the prosperous Ming Dynasty, because of the transition of imperial power and the struggle for the crown prince.
He brought endless troubles to the Ming Dynasty, including party disputes, chaos in the government, and finally losing control. After experiencing major historical events such as the "National Struggle" and "The Attack Case".
Finally, after the death of Lord Wanli, he officially ascended the throne and was named Taichang.
It is for the Ming Dynasty Guangzong.
Who is standing behind this Emperor Guangzong who has no sense of existence in history? Who planned and designed all this?
None of it is known.
But Shen Lie knew that Guangzong only did one thing during his short one-year reign, which was to remove mining taxes, discuss taxes, and tea taxes...
In just one year, what Guangzong did led to the complete collapse of the Ming Dynasty's finances. So who asked Emperor Guangzong to do this?
No need to ask.
It is the famous Donglin Party.
At this moment, Shen Lie's eyes became profound.
As we all know.
The main supporter behind the eldest son of the emperor is the Donglin Party. It is precisely because of its merits in supporting the crown prince that the Donglin Party, a little-known opposition party.
Only then did they control the Ming Dynasty in a very short period of time!
It can be said.
The Donglin Party's success was entirely due to Emperor Guangzong of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the Emperor Guangzong, who was favored by the Donglin Party, died after taking the "red pill" prescribed by Cui Wensheng, an internal official, because he was "bewitched by female favorites" and "led to debauchery."
He died at the age of thirty-eight.
then.
The mysterious death of Emperor Guangzong also left a tense and disintegrated Ming Dynasty for Emperor Qi of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Tianqi had to reuse Wei Zhongxian to deal with the Donglin Party.
One by one, one by one, they came to mind.
Shen Lie's heart seemed to be in ups and downs.
In the twilight.
Shen Lie whispered: "Tomorrow is the meeting of the imperial court, and there will be a big chaos between the government and the public... Gather the people... They are all ready."
Although several Dongchang eunuchs are unknown.
But he hurriedly responded.
Although these few people are of higher rank than Shen Lie, everyone knows that although Master Shen is only a member of a thousand households, he is the emperor's confidant.
Everything he said is right!
Everything has been arranged.
Shen Lie then took off his official boots, ordered someone to bring over two Taishi chairs, put the two chairs together, and then lay down on them.
Then he began to fall asleep.
Shen Lie made it clear that he would personally supervise the battle, which made the eyelids of the eunuchs jump crazily. They had a keen sense of smell who had been working in the Dongchang all year round.
Let these Dongchang executives know that something big is about to happen.
A night of silence.
The next day.
By the Jinshui Bridge.
In winter.
The second great court meeting was held in the tenth year of Wanli. Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister, was still absent, and everyone in the government and the public knew that Zhang Juzheng was afraid that he would never come back.
thereafter.
The Ming Dynasty will enter the true era of personal rule by the Emperor Wanli.
Perhaps the common people still don't understand what this means to the prosperous Ming Dynasty, but the adults have already made plans in their hearts.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Early morning.
As civil and military officials lined up neatly in separate classes by the Jinshui Bridge, a warm sun just rose from the east, dispersing the light mist.
The weather is still very cold.
But when the young emperor's chariot landed on the Jinshui Bridge, and the mountains shouted long live, the expected storm followed.
"I have this memorial."
"I also want to play!"
Following the censor's speech, the six ministers came forward one after another, and the crowd was excited to ask for the crown prince. They immediately gave the young emperor who had just taken charge of the throne a show of strength!
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country... I ask your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible... to calm the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people in the world."
"Your Majesty... I, the Ming Dynasty, govern the country with filial piety, and the elders and young ones are in order..."
The overwhelming memorials came with saliva spraying out.
Watching.
The face of the young emperor who was sitting on Yu Nian became depressed and livid. This display of majesty really embarrassed Zhu Yijun.
The whole capital city.
No.
Everyone in the world knew that he didn't like the emperor's eldest son very much and was a bit indifferent, but these people wanted to propose the crown prince when the emperor's eldest son was one month old.
Isn't this intentional?
No matter how much he didn't like it, the emperor's eldest son was his own flesh and blood after all. Zhu Yijun actually slowly accepted the existence of the eldest son. Due to the ancestral system, he actually knew that the prince would be established sooner or later.
He just...
Not so willing.
Zhu Yijun wanted to delay the matter of establishing the crown prince.
But now.
These people made him hold his nose and recognize them.
impossible!
Zhu Yijun, who had a bad temper, turned his face on the spot, stood up from the chariot, and uttered a few words between his teeth: "Preach the decree..."
The furious young emperor looked at the censors who jumped the highest and spat the most fiercely among the civil servants with hawk-like eyes.
Then he said angrily: "I have lost my decency before you, drag me down...Thirty years of court battle!"
coming.
As the imperial guards became murderous.
Swarmed up.
He dragged the censors with tough necks down, pushed them down not far away, and beat them with jujube wood, water and fire sticks.
Things began to get out of control.
same time.
Outside the palace gate.
Dongjishi Factory.
As someone knocked on the door gently outside, Shen Lie, who was sleeping soundly in the official hall, turned over and sat up, rubbed his eyes, and walked out quickly.
Then Shen Lie stretched his waist.
Look around.
Outside the official hall.
There were already a large number of stalls, and the waiter had been waiting for a long time. Then a senior eunuch looked anxious and walked forward quickly to whisper a few words.
"Brother Shen really knows what's going on. There's really a scene over there at Jinshui Bridge."
Shen Lie nodded and asked a few more questions, only to find out that just now, the emperor, who had only been in power for a few days, had actually moved his imperial staff.
At this time, Shen Lie couldn't help but frown slightly and sighed in his heart: "What was supposed to come has come."
Is the imperial staff useful?
It's of no use.
But then the Ming Dynasty entered a troubled period.
The fight for the crown prince lasted for fifteen years.
The number of officials who were scolded and beaten with sticks was countless. Even those officials who had never received a stick during the Wanli Dynasty were embarrassed to go out and meet people!
Fighting and fighting.
The emperor was physically and mentally exhausted from the fighting, the harem was lifeless, and the entire empire would not be peaceful.
after that.
The emperor eventually broke up with his ministers, gradually lost interest in government affairs, and began to neglect government affairs...
Think about this.
Shen Lie suddenly cheered up, looked at the tough men in the yard, and let out a low shout: "Let's go... patrol the streets!"
The adults took action.
Let’s not be idle any longer!
The heads of the team quickly bowed and took orders.
Murderous.
A large number of people from Dongchang hurried out of the Yamen along with Mr. Qianhu.
After a while.
On the long street, as a large number of Dongchang people set out, they attracted a large number of pedestrians to watch, and whispers gradually began.
even though.
This Dongchang is no longer as glorious as Chenghua and Jiajing years, but no matter what, it still represents the will of the emperor.
