On the fifth day of the lunar month, Emperor Wanli, wearing a dragon robe, came to the Tiger Martial Arts Hall, and there was no one in the mouth, and the young men were all resting in the dormitory.

Several teachers also returned to their own responsibilities. After Huang Yang taught the teenagers the last class, he couldn't help but shed tears when he left, saying that our family would never see you children in the future, so he really couldn't bear to leave.

The eunuch has a very old woman's character until she is old. After being with these energetic young men for so long, it is inevitable that she will be reluctant to leave. Moreover, he is very old, and this time he parts this time, there is really no time to see each other again.

Huang Yang was well-informed, but the teenagers didn't know anything. They were all happy wearing Qianmao's robe, but they were a little surprised by the old eunuch's sadness.

In comparison, Yu Daxian was much more enjoyable. He took his large porcelain teacup to the delicacies restaurant and had a meal with the boys and told a few dirty jokes.

In the afternoon, I patted Li Tao, Sun Xin and Chen Sibao's shoulders, touched Li Hu's head, and then returned to the small yard prepared for him by the Ministry of War. I never went out again.

Every day, Li Wenyuan was holding a spear and watching the teenagers play and laugh silently. As a result, the teenagers who were extremely happy were also confused and were silent.

In the morning, I stayed in the dormitory and took the map to do simple deductions. Those who were not diligent just slept until noon, and the entire martial arts hall became lazy.

Wang Tong has been able to see the little emperor of Wanli almost every day in the past year, although he also knew that this was the emperor and knew that this martial arts hall was built for him.

But I can never form a majestic image of the emperor in my mind. The little emperor he saw was a little petty, vain, and especially cherishing friendship. He did not have enough grades but tried his best to improve every day. He had many shortcomings. But he was still a cute and friendly friend.

The Emperor Wanli I saw today was wearing a black-bottomed dragon robe. The golden thread depicted the exquisite golden dragon pattern on his body. Although the little emperor grew taller and stronger, he was still a little round. However, the dragon robe was very tailored and a majestic aura was radiated when worn.

Zhang Cheng stood behind Emperor Wanli in a red python pattern robe. This was the closest person to Emperor Wanli. In the distance, there was a small eunuch holding various instruments, and there were also a serious guard wearing light armor inside and outside.

South Street was blocked by the troops of the Four Guards of the Imperial Horse Supervisor early in the morning. The soldiers of Shuntian Prefecture and the Five City Military Command were in the outermost circle, while the men of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei were patrolling the South Street.

Emperor Wanli practiced in this martial arts hall for almost a year. The people he served on weekdays had much less garrison than this, but nothing happened. But this kind of formal occasion is different. Not only for safety, but also for today's decent considerations.

Wang Tong deeply felt such decentness and temperament, because he was kneeling ten steps away from Emperor Wanli, the little emperor sat there without laughing, waiting for Wang Tong to finish bowing and bowing, and said calmly:

"The Wang Qing family is going to work in Tianjin now, but what are the difficulties?"

There are also answers to clichés, and Wang Tong kowtowed respectfully again and praised:

"I am very grateful for your Majesty's love and care for couplets. When you go to Tianjin, you should devote yourself to repaying the priest's kindness.

Emperor Wanli nodded reservedly and ordered in a deep voice:

"Zhang Fan, let everyone retreat outside this room. I have a few words to ask Wang Tong, and you can stay with you, Zhang Fan."

They were now in the big house of the martial arts hall. When they heard the emperor's orders, the guards and eunuchs serving around bowed and retreated.

The big house was burning with firewood at this time, and it was very warm. Seeing Zhang Cheng closing the door, Emperor Wanli sighed and said with a little sadness:

"The couplet originally wanted to keep you by your side, but in the Ming Dynasty, there were some things that could not be decided by the couplet, so I could only let you go to Tianjin

After saying this, Wang Tong, who was kneeling over there and Zhang Cheng, who was walking back, both trembled. Wang Tong raised his head regardless of etiquette and said:

"Your Majesty is careful, you can't say these words."

The minister told the emperor not to say something, and he also found that he was guilty of being disrespectful and confiscated his family and exterminated his clan. However, Emperor Wanli sighed again and said:

"Panpa Zhang, listen to what Wang Tong said. This is a loyal minister. Unfortunately, the couplet is in charge of his own and others, but they cannot stay by their side and use it. They have to fight from afar, so as not to lead the couplet.

While speaking, Emperor Wanli stood up from his seat. His tone had become a little intense, and he raised his voice and said:

"If the couplet was so easy to be damaged, there were so many activities in the palace. Wouldn't the couplet have been broken long ago? Then Wang Tong came to bring couplets, you don't have to kneel down. I will tell you about this. I won't go outside."

Emperor Wanli walked a few steps in the house, jumped casually, and then walked to the weapon rack on the wall, took a long stick in his hand, set off a flag and said in a deep voice:

"I am not only a martial arts school in this martial arts hall." I have learned a lot and asked for a happy day of the year. I have experienced it before, but I am afraid I will not have it after that."

The room was quiet. After a while, Emperor Wanli waved at Wang Tong and ordered:

"Get up, don't be so restrictive before the couplet."

Wang Tong walked up to him, Emperor Wanli sat back on his seat and said in a stern voice:

"When you are robbing love and worry, Wang Tong, you have helped Lian very much. However, Lian cannot keep you by your side, and you will drive you out of the capital. Lian is often uneasy."

"Your Majesty said this, I am frightened. Thunder, rain and dew are all kindness. I can go to Tianjin to serve as a servant. I don't know how many people in the personal army of Jinyi are envious. I should repay such great kindness with all my heart!"

In a way, what Wang Tong said was the truth. Emperor Wanli's face relaxed a little," he said:

"The Lian understands the key points, what is the official position of the Jinyiwei Qianhu? When you have the opportunity, you will transfer you back to the capital. In addition to this, during your tenure in Tianjin, you will keep this business couplet you in the capital. The silver collected every month and every year will be sent to you. Don't worry that everyone in the capital will leave. The Lian sends someone to order you. If you do this job in Tianjin, the Lian will be comfortable and you will be promoted even if you return to Beijing."

This was said by the emperor. It was as weird as it was. Wang Tong felt quite awkward as he said, and even forgot to kneel down and thanked him. However, when Emperor Wanli mentioned "this career", he couldn't help but feel a little moved. Just when Zhang Cheng was about to scold him for losing his etiquette, Wang Tong stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I don't know whether to say it or not. Please forgive me for your crime."

Emperor Wanli smiled and nodded and said:

"That's right, you know that Lian won't blame you."

"Your Majesty, I have issued peace signs for various brothels and gambling houses in the capital, asking them to tell them regularly every day. The previous incidents were found through this channel."

"You have told me all these things, and I will just say that I should not talk about them."

"I think that if all the merchants and shops in the capital act in accordance with this method, 200,000 taels of silver will be collected every year, and this money is still a trivial matter. Your Majesty's eyes and ears are everywhere in the market, and if there is any disturbance, your Majesty will know it. This is a great benefit."

The little emperor Wanli was stunned and said:

"Don't these things, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Wucheng Military and Masi and Shuntian Mansion, all do this? Why bother to do this?"

"Your Majesty, the East Factory is not in sufficient staff, and you can investigate and investigate important cases. The Jinyiwei has many people but the quality is uneven. The actions are heavy and rigid. Shunquan Mansion and the Wucheng Military and Masi have no power or power, and they are constrained by many parties. Moreover, if the Dong Factory is in, and who is in the Jinyiwei, your Majesty may not be shocked to use it. The Five City Military and Masi and Shuntian Mansion are useless.

In the hands of Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was the follower of Zhang Juzheng, the cabinet assistant. The information from these two places will basically not be directly submitted to Emperor Wanli, or the information in Emperor Wanli's hands will definitely not be the same.

Just stop talking, and you don’t need to be too clear. When Wang Tong said this, Emperor Wanli was already a little moved. The little emperor now wants to seize power and know more information, and the institution that Wang Tong mentioned happened to be right.

"Wang Tong, since you mentioned it, let's talk about it in detail?"

"The current system does not need to change significantly, it is nothing more than increasing manpower. Use the Jinyiwei's rest to fill it into Shuntian Prefecture, and go to various stores and merchants every day. Collect money to inquire, and return what you see and hear back to Shuntian Prefecture to report. Find more veterans from Shuntian Prefecture. Copy and read these messages every day and select useful reports."

Wanli frowned and thought, looked back at Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng said understandingly:

"Wang Tong, your method seems to be useless. First, it will be smooth and will be interfered with, and second, it will be useful if you just inquire.

"The reason why people from Shuntian Prefecture are used is to avoid talking about the government and the opposition, saying something like reopening the Xichang. Moreover, Shuntian Prefecture is not of high rank and has no power and power, so your Majesty is easy to control. Besides, if you collect money from those merchants, just use the name of tax collection. This is also a name blockade."

Seeing the emperor and Zhang Cheng concentrate on listening, Wang Tong continued:

"If people who use Shuntian Prefecture do not need to be managed by Shuntian Prefecture. A new yamen is set up directly, and the special management of Shuntian Prefecture's magistrate's official magistrate is to inquire about the news. If you want to take action, so many people from the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei can naturally be dispatched."

Emperor Wanli began to nod his head slowly. Wang Tong looked at Zhang Cheng and said again:

"The chief of the Shuntian Prefecture also needs a person from the inner court to contact and guide him. I take the liberty and think that Zhang Cheng and Eunuch Zhang are the most suitable."

Wanli was stunned, Zhang Cheng was stunned.
