quiet!

There is deathly silence in the hall!

Zhu Changluo?

Or Zhu Changxun?

Although Wanli said word by word and word, he was quite clear, but Shen Shixing and others still felt that they didn't hear it very clearly.

Even Zhang Cheng looked confused. He couldn't help but ask carefully: "Your Majesty, are you talking about the eldest son of the emperor or the third prince?"

The difference between this word is fatal.

You have to ask clearly!

The ears of the cabinet ministers seemed to be about a foot long.

Wanli said: "What I am talking about is the establishment of the eldest son of the emperor!"

This time everyone is sure that they have heard it wrong.

but…….

why is that?

Zhang Cheng and Tian Yi couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

Both of them were close ministers and people who knew the emperor best. However, before this meeting, they both believed that the emperor would abolish the elders and establish the young people.

Because there is no sign that the emperor will make the eldest son the crown prince.

Even if they are all like this, let alone Shen Shixing and others.

Because in the past two years, all the emperor's actions have been revolving around the dispute over the foundation of the country. He just wanted to abolish the elders and establish the young people. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions. Now the emperor is in the limelight, and he fights south and north, and everything goes well.

He could bypass the imperial court and start a war directly, which may be a strength that Taizu never possessed.

Therefore, what they predicted was that either the emperor would continue to delay and delay for a few more years, or they would directly abolish the elders and establish the young people.

There will be no third option.

That's what Zhang Cheng, Tian Yi and the others think.

But this third option appears.

And it is the most unlikely, especially today.

Now that the emperor's strength has increased greatly, he may not necessarily lose, so he has to fight.

It is impossible to announce it directly.

Too weird!

Wanli looked around and asked, "Do you don't agree?"

"Your Majesty's wiseness is the blessing of my great wise all ages. Long live my emperor."

Wang Jiaping crawled on the ground, crying and shouting long live.

He was really crying!

Not easy!

He really thought it was too difficult!

Shen Shixing and the others also knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty's Holy Wisdom"!

"Haha...haha!"

Wanli laughed up and strode out of the palace as if he issued a declaration of victory.

But the problem is that he did not win, and he finally compromised and surrendered, and whether he would establish the eldest son of the emperor.

The bureaucratic group won a great victory!

After he left for a while, Shen Shixing and the others gradually came to their senses. They knelt on the ground and forgot to get up. They looked at each other. From the initial sentence "Make the eldest son of the emperor the crown prince" to the laughter at the end, they were all weird.

After a while, they slowly stood up. Shen Shixing asked Zhang Cheng in a low voice: "Minister, has your Majesty encountered any difficulties recently?"

He looked at Wanli and seemed to be greatly stimulated.

Zhang Cheng also knew what Shen Shixing meant, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has not encountered any difficulties recently. He just returned from the Royal Horse Farm yesterday. Why are you today..."

He quickly shut up, but Shen Shixing had already heard the implicit sound, which showed that Zhang Cheng also predicted that Zhu Changxun would be established.

Even Zhang Cheng didn't know, and probably no one knew it.

But what the hell is going on?

The hardest thing in this world is really the emperor’s mind!

...

Return to Qianqing Palace.

"His Majesty."

The imperial concubine Zheng greeted Wanli alone in front of the door.

"My dear concubine, please give me no gift." Wanli quickly stepped forward to help Zheng, took her hand and laughed: "My dear concubine, don't worry, we are still very young."

...

good.

The various conflicts and conflicts that had occurred before were all on the dispute over the foundation of the country, and Wanli wanted to abolish the eldest son and establish the youngest son. Regarding this, Zhang Cheng, Guo Dan, Shen Shixing and others knew that he had been trying his best to attack ethics and ancestral system in the past two years, which was paving the way for this.

Before Zhang Youde submitted his memorial, Wanli also planned to abolish the elders and establish the young people.

He decided to establish the crown prince this year last year, thinking that once Bozhou and Ningxia win, he will have the ability to abolish the elders and establish the young people.

But after Zhang Youde submitted the report, he changed his mind.

Although it has become a little fast, it is actually not difficult to understand.

The core contradiction in the dispute over the foundation of the country is not the eldest and the third, but the imperial power and ministerial power.

But on the other hand, is the specific form of the dispute between imperial power and ministers necessary to be reflected in the foundation of the country?

The answer is no.

Imperial power and ministerial power can be carried out in various ways, and it does not necessarily have to revolve around the foundation of the country.

However, Wanli had no achievements in anything before. After he took power, he only knew how to fight against Zhang Juzheng, but there was no plan to replace Zhang Juzheng. He could not come up with policies, and his civil and military skills had nothing to do with him, so he was not able to uphold imperial power.

Then if he competes for the foundation of the country, he can make up for his own disadvantages. After all, he is his own son. As a father, he has more say.

In fact, the emperor likes to extend imperial power through the country's original state. It is only a secondary reason for which son he likes. A simple relationship cannot make the emperor pay such a great price. Only the imperial power is worth it. It is really not invented by Wanli. Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi did the same. However, the Wanli strike in history for decades has made the dispute over the country's original state particularly special.

As for the ministers, they have always supported the order of the elders and the young.

This is almost constant.

This makes it unlikely that the minister will provoke a dispute over the foundation of the country because there is a belief there.

In history, the dispute over the foundation of the country can only be blamed on Wanli, not the ministers. He wanted to fight for it himself, but he couldn't fight it. I wonder if this is boring.

However, things gradually changed as we fought around the foundation of the country.

As he fought, Wanli suddenly realized that he was expanding territory and promoting reforms internally, and his wealth was also increasing sharply.

One Piece.

Chairman of the Grassland.

All of this is thriving!

This fueled his ambitions.

Super Zhang Juzheng?

No, his target is already Emperor Wu of Han and Tangzong.

I have to say that the fat man is really inflated. He feels that he is invincible with those eternal emperors!

Under this general trend, the dispute over the foundation of the country seems a bit useless.

I still want to live another five hundred years. Is it important for who is the crown prince now?

unimportant!

The most important thing is to be overlord.

He was unwilling to delay his tyranny for the sake of the country's foundation.

Of course, he also has a judgment here. He believes that even if he wins, it may be a miserable victory. It cannot be a big victory. If the price of victory is very small, he will do it. The problem is that the price is too high and he thinks it is not cost-effective.

One of the key figures is Empress Dowager Li.

In fact, Wanli made a trick in the abuse of Concubine Wang Gong. He deliberately transferred Concubine Wang Gong’s new residence to the Cining Palace, with the purpose of seeing Empress Dowager Li’s attitude towards Concubine Wang Gong.

Because Empress Dowager Li has never made any statement about this, this made him very uneasy.

What did Mother think?
