After Yang Wei resigned from office, Chen Li, the Minister of Rites, also submitted a letter to retire and return home after completing the procedure of becoming a crown prince, and Emperor Wanli accepted it.

Zhu Changxun, the son of Concubine Zheng, was the crown prince. Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, was named King of Fu and his fief was set in Luoyang, Henan. After hearing this news, many people sighed and regretted, thinking that this was inconsistent with the rules. He had the fate of the crown prince, but now he could only be a vassal king.

Compared to the sighs of so many people outside, Concubine Wang was extremely happy. She was already worried because her children were caught in the whirlpool, but now she has the blessing of becoming a vassal king for the rest of her life. This is a great joy.

Moreover, news came from the Ganqing Palace that after King Fu Zhu Changluo was granted a vassal, he could consider letting Concubine Wang Gong go there. Although the concubines were not allowed to leave the palace, Empress Dowager Cisheng Li had already gone to the Marquis of Wuqing, so there was not so much attention here.

Concubine Wang Gong had no desire to participate in the favor competition in the palace. It was his greatest hope that she could accompany her son.

Regarding the incident of Zhu Changxun being the crown prince, the capital was already silent, and the capital was also silent. However, there were still many noises in other provinces and in Jiangnan.

After the officials and Yan who retired and returned home learned the details of the establishment of the crown prince in the capital, they were silent. Those who knew the officialdom and the political arena gathered in a cold manner.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty had never been wronged in front of civil servants, and could not get a chance here. He acted like Emperor Wuzong, but he was just using eunuchs and rebuilding military nobles.

The only example is that Emperor Jiajing, who discussed the case with a grand ceremony, used the Jinyiwei to beat civil officials with court sticks, completely defeating his face. Therefore, throughout the Jiajing period, civil officials were always firmly suppressed by the emperor.

But in the late Jiajing period, Xu Jie was in power until the first ten years after Wanli ascended the throne, the civil officials group headed by the six cabinet ministries completely dominated the government. After the name of Wang Tong appeared in everyone's sight, the situation dominated by civil officials was gradually reversed, and then there were the great prosperity of Tianjin Wei, the great victory that shocked the past and the present, and various twists and turns in Guihua City.

All of these are surprising to everyone, but they can still sit and watch because they have nothing to do with me, but this time, everyone was shocked.

During the grand dynasty meeting, Emperor Wanli mobilized heavy troops to surround him, and then dispatched troops from Tianjin Guards to the capital. What the emperor wanted to do, the emperor clearly wanted all the officials in the capital to completely destroy them.

How could the emperor do this? How could the emperor have such courage? What's more important is that the emperor actually has the ability to do this. Everyone related to the officialdom is shocked, afraid, and then silent.

You can seek fame and stick to the right path, but you can't hurt your own lives or your own interests. Now that the emperor is doing so nakedly, it's better to shut up!

Compared with these self-protectional and former officials, those scholars who have never been an official in the local area, as well as the so-called old scholars, have a lot of opinions on this.

Some people wrote letters to the capital, and some asked someone to submit memorials, but their opinions were irrelevant, and their arguments were just a dispute of justice. They had a family and a career. Whether the emperor liked the eldest son or the second son had no personal relationship with them. Moreover, it was common for them to like the younger son himself.

……………………

On July 22, someone in the palace sent news to the Sili Supervisor. Zhang Hong, the former Sili Supervisor, died of a hunger strike. This news made Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor and the eunuch in the East Factory, feel uncomfortable for a long time.

The imperial guards and the Beijing camp had blood exchanges. A group of military generals from the Tiger Powerful Martial Arts Hall were not promoted to too high official positions. The positions of scattered officials were given very high, and there were various benefits. In fact, they were all short of positions such as Qianzong and garrison. Such positions had an advantage. They could actually control the troops and mobilize troops in the first time. These Qianzong and garrisons, the eunuchs of the Beijing camp and the Minister of War had no right to move their official positions.

As a general, Chen Sibao got the most benefits this time. He became the battalion officer of the Warriors Camp. Among the five major camps in the capital, the Warriors Camp had the strongest troops and the highest status. Chen Sibao came to serve as the battalion officer and was considered to have officially entered the highest level of the Ming Dynasty warriors.

Most of the changes in the internal officials and military generals were unexpected. What everyone was most concerned about was what arrangements should Wang Tong, the commander of the Jinyiwei Commander, Wang Tong.

Wang Tong was highly powerful. Although before this, he was suspicious of the emperor and exiled himself to Guihua City, this time he secretly sneaked back to the capital to assist Emperor Wanli in resolving the storm of becoming a crown prince and became the first contribution.

During this storm, Emperor Wanli was almost forced into a desperate situation by the empress dowager and the courtiers. Wang Tong came here without regard to his previous suspicion and the infamy that this matter was about to be attracted, and what kind of reward should he get? He already has such a status. If he wants to be rewarded, how should he reward him and what kind of power he gave to Wang Tong to repay his contributions. But if he gives to him again, will Wang Tong's power affect others and will it make people suspicious?

It was almost August, and news came from the palace that Wang Tong was going to govern the Beijing camp this time. As soon as the news came out, the public opinion in the capital was a little uproar.

The so-called "uproar" is no longer the excitement of the past, but the secret communication and conversation. Wang Tong's power expansion is already expected. The key is what it will expand. Wang Tong has the Jinyiwei in his hands. If there is another Beijing camp, it means that three-fifths of the military power in the capital are in his hands. This is not the way for the ministers.

But in this situation, no one dares to say anything else. He will do whatever the emperor is happy about himself."

Although Wang Tong went to Guihua City, he was still the commander of the Jinyiwei. When he returned to the capital, he would always participate in the court meeting and serve the emperor.

However, just returned to the capital, the situation in the capital was unstable, and Wang Tong needed to take charge of the Jinyiwei to be dispatched. Therefore, it was not until the third day of the August 3 that Wang Tong appeared at the court meeting.

Daily court meetings, cabinet members, six ministers, chief envoys of the Censorate, and people from relevant yamen all attend the meeting. Compared to half a month ago, it is already a new generation who has replaced the old ones.

The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Rites have been replaced by the Minister of Justice, and the other Ministers are not as strong as Yang Wei and Shen Li. What they value more is their current power and position, and they dare not seek any enterprising or do any dangerous things to take away the fire.

When Wang Tongran appeared at the court meeting, the six ministers did not do anything except treat each other coldly. The emperor arrived at the daily court meeting at the latest.

In the past, these Ming Dynasty central masters had to talk about everything and even talk about the wind and moon. However, after the storm of the Grand Court, the Minister of the Secretariat angrily scolded the Minister of the Shang Dynasty, and the whole court attacked each other and rushed to clear themselves, everyone was a little embarrassed for a moment, or the relationship between them changed from being polite to being naked and interested, and it would take a long time to restore the normalcy.

Moreover, the Fengtian Gate side hall where the court meeting was held was not large. Even if you were talking in a low voice, it was likely to be heard by others, especially when Wang Tong was here, everyone was more wary of it.

Wang Tong went to court on the first day, but Wang Xijue, the second assistant to the cabinet, took the initiative to come forward and said a few words. Wang Xijue went forward and smiled and saw the ceremony, and said:

"Now Dingbei Hou is the Dinghai Dinghai Dinghai Dinghai Kung Fu. There was a chaotic situation in the past. As soon as Dingbei Hou came back, the whole world became quiet. He is really a pillar of the country!"

The ridicule of Wang Tong in this sentence can also be heard, but literati always have to look for cheap people in their mouths. Wang Tong doesn't care, but just replied with a lukewarm gift:

"Now in the peaceful and prosperous times, the inexplicable capital has become so chaotic. Is there any evil? "

Wang Xijue coughed, cleared his throat and said:

"Mr. Wang, Wang may offend something. We who are ministers must have the duty of being a minister. The great power is the favor of the emperor. There is nothing to say about this, but the power of being a minister is too strong. Even if it is the favor of the saint, the subject must be self-aware. Never be proud of the moment, which will destroy the affection of the monarch and the subject and let the saint down."

Wang Tong pondered for a while and said calmly:

"God will dictatorially. What is the saint's business? How can we ministers guess ourselves?"

Hearing Wang Tong's unforgettable answer, Wang Xijue shook his head, and there was no smile on his face. He just sighed, but said solemnly:

"Mr. Wang, some power is favor, while others are the way to die. Mr. Wang's current status, wealth, and family members. Never make a fuss to the point of being unable to deal with it for the sake of one person's pleasure!"

After saying this, Wang Xijue nodded and was about to turn around and return to his queue. He had just moved, but heard Wang Tong say behind him:

"Thank you, Master Wang, for reminding me that Wang is self-aware and knows what to do!"

Wang Xijue looked back, but saw Wang Tong bowing and making a gesture of affection. Wang Xijue was a little surprised. Wang Tong was not as cold as the rumors were to the civil officials, but he still knew about the human relationship accident.

Hearing a notice from outside, Emperor Wanli walked into the hall, the eunuchs sang a ceremony, and all the people knelt respectfully. When everyone looked up, they noticed that Emperor Wanli nodded to Wang Tong, which was considered a greeting. Is this still the king and the minister? When will the ministers bow to him, the king and the emperor actually want to answer the ceremony.

“…There is a memorial to you…”

In this situation, the ministers are just doing their own duties and have nothing to report. Everyone is silent. After a while, Wang Tong bowed and said:
Chapter completed!
