The atmosphere in the teahouse these days is also very serious, and the teahouses no longer have leisure to talk. Their attention is attracted by the newspaper's reports on this tragedy. The newspaper shouted that the dark Zhengde Dynasty was coming again, and the teahouses were also filled with righteous indignation. Ma Liuye and others even scolded the eunuch for his rebellious actions, and even kept the "crazy king" and "evil" on their lips all day long.

Although Chen Si has been comforting the tea shoppers, he wrote an article to attack eunuchs, using a large number of examples to prove that if you only want to spend money to eliminate disasters, if you only want to spend money to eliminate disasters, it will only encourage your arrogance and be severely exploited. Only by being fearless, united and driving these greedy villains out can the Shanghai beach regain peace.

His writing is sharp and profound, and he also knows the secret history of the state and the court, which is a very contagious manifesto. However, many newspapers are worried that it will cause trouble, so they did not adopt it. Only the "New News" ranked tenth in Shanghai is an exception.

This newspaper that has been hard for many years and has been unable to be among the forefront of the Shanghai newspaper industry. There is an editor-in-chief who is almost tortured by his boss before he saw this article. Before he saw this article, he was threatened by his boss. If the sales of newspapers have not increased next month, he would be covered and left. After seeing this article, the sluggish editor-in-chief suddenly became energetic. He could foresee that this article would definitely cause an uproar... If another editor-in-chief was replaced, he would definitely not dare to use it, but for him, if it succeeds, he can bring back his life. If it fails, he can also drag the boss to die together, and all the results will be good. So he adopted it without hesitation, and he kept doing it, and even invited the front page advertisements to the second page, freeing up the entire page, and printing a manifesto to fight against the atrocities of eunuchs.

The next day, the boss fainted when he saw it. When he woke up, he roared and grabbed the editor-in-chief's neckline and said, "Do you want to drag me to death together, right? I'll throw you into the Huangpu River first!"

"Then I have to wait for me to finish printing the 50,000 copies of the printed ones." The editor-in-chief said lightly.

"More, how much?" The boss could stuff a duck egg into his mouth.

"Fifty thousand copies." The editor-in-chief repeated.

"Five, 50,000 copies." The boss let go of his hand, and while talking to himself, paced back and forth in the house. That was the sales volume of Shanghai Daily, the number he dreamed of reaching! Should he seize this opportunity to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop? The boss weighed the trade-offs in pain.

"What else can I hesitate about? If I worry about being seen by those eunuchs, the five thousand copies we printed first must have been seen by them." The editor-in-chief said calmly: "Then there is no difference whether we add or not. But for our newspapers, the difference is too big."

"You are right, you can be a slap in your life!" The boss finally threw his worries about risks behind him and said, "Sign up to me!"

With the sharp news comments on the front page, "Xinbao" quickly stood out from the jungle of Shanghai newspaper industry. Compared with the original advertisement-filled style, people still prefer this sharp and bright approach. "Xinbao", which tasted the sweetness, continued to work hard, and published a series of articles to criticize the eunuchs and exchange for Qingming in Shanghai for several days. While increasing sales to the level of "Shanghai Daily", it also forced other newspapers to the point where they had to show their positions.

So the newspapers in Shanghai began to condemn, demanding that the eunuchs stop their atrocities and hand over the murderer! Although the eunuchs had almost no habit of reading newspapers, it did not affect the newspaper's strong influence on the citizens. The anger of the people quickly escalated. They all said that if the government could not seek justice for the citizens, they would seek justice in their own way.

Shanghai magistrate Sun Mong was the younger brother of Sun Jing and Sun Ying. He had received instructions from his brother that he would just wait and see what happened. But as the fear turned into anger, something big was going to happen in Shanghai. It would be impossible not to come forward. While comforting the people's emotions, he went to the Jiangnan Hotel to find the leading eunuch Zhang Qing, hoping that they would make a fortune. Stop it as soon as possible and go to other places to harm others.

Zhang Qing did not take this local official seriously, and just replied casually: "If you dare to resist your order, you will kill you!"

Magistrate Sun said good things for a long time, but got this reply. He was so angry that he took the initiative: "Tell you as soon as possible, I should die if I disobey you, but the people are the people of the court. If you force them to rebel, you will not be able to escape!" As he said that, he pulled Zhang Qing to the window. Zhang Qing saw the street outside the glass window full of people holding stones and wooden sticks. He didn't care about being offended and said in a daze: "What, how could this happen?"

Sun Kuangyu explained earnestly: "I think my father-in-law should have heard that the people in Wuzhong are strong. Xu Jie and Xu Ge once said, 'The people in his hometown are the most unlawful.' Now, those who are in this land often call themselves the ghost country, saying, 'There will be something in the world in the future, and they will be created by this!' Because the government orders of the court cannot be implemented here, and people are cunning, can tolerate what others cannot tolerate, and why people dare not do what others dare not do! Therefore, my experience as an official here is to open up and coax them, and never dare to provoke them."

Zhang Qing thought that this was the case. Then he became a little more honest. The situation was finally under control. He quietly withdrew in two days and took a boat to Suzhou. Who knew that good things would not go out and bad things would go thousands of miles. What happened in Shanghai had been reported in Suzhou newspapers in succession. Citizens organized them to wait for the arrival of Zhang Qing's fleet at the dock.

When he arrived, the good guy saw that there were at least tens of thousands of people on the dock. Zhang Qing first thought that this was to welcome him, and he wanted to say that Suzhou, a thousand-year-old, was more sensible than Shanghai, the nouveau riche. Who knew that as soon as the boat approached the shore, he heard the people on the shore clamoring and flying bricks and hitting stones at him. If he hadn't climbed down in time, he would have been hit.

Only then did he realize that what Sun Mine said was true. Wuzhong is rich, but the people are too tough, so how could they dare to enter Suzhou again? So he turned to Wujiang. Unexpectedly, the people of Wujiang also gathered together to clamor, and the situation was fierce. Then he planned to go to Taicang and Wuxi... and were treated the same. Zhang Qing never expected that he begged his grandfather and grandmother, and spent a lot of money to get the opportunity to go to Jiangnan. Not only did he not have the expected kingship and dominance, but he became a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted and beat him. How could he not be depressed?

But I can't forget it like this, otherwise I wouldn't be laughed at by myself? After thinking about it with my subordinates, I said, "Let's go to Nanjing, and I'll stay in capital, and there is a yamen and a regiment camp, so the people will definitely not be able to do anything randomly. At first, this was true, but the eunuchs didn't know how to restrain themselves. They just thought that the people in Nanjing were also mermaid meat like the people in Beijing. So they became more and more extorted, forcing more than ten lives to death in one month.

In May, more than a thousand people from Nanjing who could not bear it, gathered at the office of the Censorate Office, beating drums and making unjust public statements about Zhang Qing's various crimes, and asked the censors to participate in the court and severely punish the eunuchs.

The Southern Censor Sun Yan said bitterly: "Do you think we have not impeached this beast?" He ordered people to release copies of the impeachment of Zhang Qing by Nanjing censors for several months to read for students. There were nearly a hundred copies. In addition to being shocked, he said: "The masters of the capital and the ministries of the tribes kept admonishing him, hoping that the emperor could recall Zhang Qing and others to appease the people in the southeast." He sighed heavily and said, "Helpless..." The words behind him stopped, and everyone knew what he was talking about.

"I am incompetent. In the years I have served as an official in Nanjing, I have never had a good rule for the people." Sun Yan's next words made everyone whose hearts were cold and their blood was boiling again. He only heard him say, "I have written my resignation and be prepared to scold Zhang Qing. If anyone has this idea, they might as well go together. The responsibility is mine." As he said that, he cursed fiercely: "If you don't do it, ride on the sea, it's better to be the official of this bird!"

Seeing that Sun Dutang, who had always been serious, actually swearing, everyone cheered and followed him, they turned to Zhang Qing's office. Zhang Qing did not meet them, and quickly let his eunuchs block it. The two sides wrestled and the conflict lasted for two hours. The angry Nanjing people gathered more and more. Finally, more than 10,000 people gathered and rushed into the office, which scared Zhang Qing so much that he fled to the palace. The eunuchs in the entire Nanjing city did not dare to go out.

The situation developed to such an extent that Wanli still did not want to appease him, but ordered the eunuchs in Nanjing to escort Zhang Qing and Zhou Quan back to Beijing. Zhang Qing returned to Beijing safely with the plundered gold, silver and treasures. Although under pressure, Wanli terminated the plan to select palace maids without collecting the rated 300 palace maids. But he did not think it was wrong, but decided that it was because the local officials were against him and ordered the Jinyiwei to disobey the Suzhou magistrate Li Shangchang, Wuxi magistrate Qian Shouxun, Wuxi magistrate, Hua Yu, Taicang magistrate Che Renzhong, and Nanjing military chief Feng Yingjing arrested and punished. The Southern Censor Sun Yan, who directly led to the Nanjing sāo rebellion, was also escorted to Beijing.

When Sun Yan was imprisoned in the imperial prison, Wanli sent someone to send a sword over... He really wanted to take the opportunity to kill Shen Mo's best friend, so he made a clever trick and asked the eunuch who sent the sword to him to pass on a message: "You should commit suicide." But when Sun Yan committed suicide, he could deny it, saying that he was just a sword. Emperor Wanli, who was known as a child prodigy since childhood, never lacked such self-righteous cleverness.

Unexpectedly, after Sun Jian heard the oral order, he reached out his hand.

"What are you doing?" The eunuch was a little stunned.

"Since the emperor wants to give me death, I must have a handwritten order." Sun Jian said lightly.

The eunuch couldn't take it out, so he stammered and retreated, but later there was no text...

Sun Yan hung his sword at his waist and sat upright in the prison cell. He sat down as much as he wanted, and no one dared to get close to him... because he said that this was the Shangfang sword given by the emperor, and killing people would not have to pay for their lives!

Little girl, want to scare me? You're still nèn!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Jian and others were imprisoned in the imperial prison, so the ministers naturally actively rescued them. All the major officials in the cabinet threatened to resign collectively and finally asked Wanli to agree to release the person, but in the imperial edict, he made it sternly and explicitly, only once, and no example will be given! If there is any rebellion, he will be executed!

The reason why Wanli agreed to release the people this time was not because he wanted to repair his relationship with the ministers. In fact, the couple who had broken down their relationship but could not divorce were just living together and doing their own jobs. What really led to this pardon was actually his mother, Empress Dowager Li, and the reason why Empress Dowager Li retired for many years and then took charge of political affairs was because she had a grandson.

Of course, it was the son of Wanli. In the early morning of August 11th in the tenth year of Wanli, a loud cry of a baby came from Qixiang Palace in the Forbidden City. The empress Gong Concubine successfully gave birth to a son. This was also the first son born to Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun in the spring of the sixth year of Wanli. In the end, four and a half years, this was the first son born to Concubine Gong Concubine. Ironically, this Empress Gong Concubine was neither the queen of his wedding nor the two empresses who were later enthroned, nor even the nine concubines he married the year before, but a palace maid in the empress dowager's harem.

But the emperor said that the emperor went to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager early that day. Perhaps the effect of taking aphrodisiacs had not yet dissipated. He felt the long-lost pillar of the sky, and he was hungry and thirsty early in the morning. That day, the Empress Dowager was worshiping the Buddha, so he pulled a palace maid and vented a little next to his mother's Buddhist temple.

Who knew that the things in the world were so nonsense. The Empress of the Palace, who had a bond with him, had not been pregnant for several years. The palace maid secretly got into the rain and even reported the merits of inheritance. Within a few months, her belly became bigger and could not be hidden. Empress Dowager Li finally knew that the palace maid thought she was dead now, but who knew that the Empress Dowager actually asked about the situation calmly, and then asked someone to compare it with "Neiyu Notes", and asked someone to change her clothes to her concubines and call the emperor over.

Wanli came, and Empress Dowager Li asked him, but he had done some tricks here. Wanli was guilty and denied it. Empress Dowager Li opened the page of "The Notes on the Inside Daily" and said, "You can read it yourself!" "The Notes on the Inside Daily" is the top secret of the royal family. A special mute eunuch is responsible for tracking the emperor throughout the process and recording the emperor's every move. It is of great significance. For example, if the emperor has an accident, it is easy to find the person responsible, and for example, if an accident occurs like now, it is easy to determine whether it is his own species.

Wanli was speechless and had to admit his account, and named him a concubine, and stayed with the Empress Dowager to have a baby.

Five months later, the eldest son was born. The two empress dowagers who had not met their eyes in the Buddhist temple for a night of praying for the two queen mothers, who had not met their eyes for a night of praying, heard that a man with a handkerchief was born, and they burst into joy. Wanli had never met his eyes and played a horse tag with the eunuch all night waiting for the news. When he heard the good news, he felt relieved. Whether as a man or an emperor, he had been looking forward to his son for too long.

The Forbidden City suddenly boiled, and big red lanterns were hung everywhere, followed by the sound of firecrackers in the entire interior. The watchtower in the back garden and the Wufeng Tower in front of the Meridian Gate were also played, and the melodious bells were announced to the world, announcing the birth of the heir to the Ming Dynasty.
