Since the birth of Concubine Zheng's son Zhu Changxun, people with some evidence and common sense in the world know that the matter of establishing a crown prince will be raised sooner or later.

If Emperor Wanli favored Concubine Wang Gong, Concubine Zheng was just an indifferent person, and the eldest son of the emperor was naturally the crown prince, so there was no doubt about this.

Concubine Gong gave birth to a prince and was an ordinary concubine. Concubine Zheng was already a concubine before she gave birth to a child, and now she has a son. It is said that the Empress Dowager Cisheng of the Cining Palace, Li, once forced Emperor Wanli to become a crown prince. Emperor Wanli forced him to take it back. Judging from various aspects, Emperor Wanli's meaning is already very clear.

According to the rules, the eldest son should be the crown prince, but Emperor Wanli did not think so. This matter must be repeatedly entangled. Everyone in the dynasty can understand this inner court and outer dynasty.

However, for more people, this means opportunity. The more they will be repeated, the more opportunities there will be, the more opportunities there will be betting and speculation, and it also involves establishing a priest.

If you contribute a little effort to establish a crown prince at this time, and the crown prince becomes an emperor in the future, the people who contribute their efforts will receive various rewards. There are too many examples from all dynasties.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Han Qi's ability was much worse than Wen Yanbo and Fu Bilai, but his status was far higher and he was honored for generations. Why was he the right position in the matter of becoming a crown prince and was rewarded afterwards.

The emperor is the Supreme Emperor, and everyone should please and flatter others. He will not care about other people's favors and flatteries. But if he can do something or show kindness before the other party becomes the emperor, it will be of great benefit. If there are those who are far away, Lu Buwei bet on the King of Qin. In the end, he became the prime minister of Qin. If there are those who are the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and so many eunuchs in the literati and grand clerks in the cabinet. How many are they the Eastern Palace companions to study with the prince? Is Feng Bao? Is Zhang Cheng? Is Zhang Juzheng? Is Xu Jie?

This is something that is soaring to the sky and profitable. Everyone knows to catch it, but everyone knows that the person who makes the first bird will definitely be guilty. Emperor Wanli is too lazy to deal with the handling of the censors. But he will never be lenient if he really wants to do it. Everyone works hard and work hard. "I have to get to the current position after taking the imperial examinations." If they are dealt with, it will be in vain. And even if it is right, after being dismissed from office, who knows whether they will be remembered in the future.

The purpose of most rumors who speak frankly is to gain benefits and gain reputation. If you do these things, you will suffer losses and lose your official position you have finally obtained, it will not be worth it.

As for the principles of maintaining sages, "people's livelihood, sting for unfair things, studying for so many years", no one's mind has been broken, and no one will do such stupid things.

If someone dares to take the lead and advocate "then everyone keeps up, the harm will be much smaller. There is a saying that the law does not blame the public" to punish it, then it will naturally start to attack the person who takes the lead, and everyone is naturally willing to follow this kind of thing.

Even if you don’t get any benefits, you can get a name for being righteous and upright, and you can boast about your memorials in the struggle for the establishment of a crown prince in the future.

From the perspective of civil servants as a whole, "after Zhang Juzheng's death", Zhang Siwei Dingyou, Emperor Wanli's power was too great. He became more and more accustomed to relying on eunuchs and military generals to do things, leaving scholars and officials aside. If this goes on, what is the use of civil servants? If this goes on, what is the use of studying?

There must be an act to let the current emperor know that he is subject to the constraints of court officials and cannot do whatever he wants. The matter of establishing a crown prince must be the most important thing about Emperor Wanli, so everyone will come to Fengzheng to see it.

Personal benefits, sages and righteousness, and sages’ interests are all reasons for everyone’s actions, but there is another key point that the Beijing inspection will begin in June this year.

Although Yang Wei, the Minister of Personnel, did not make it clear, the news has been spread by his disciples. "If anyone sings the opposite of the mainstream or stays out of the matter, then wait until the Beijing inspection to see the truth!

If you are successful in the imperial examination and are selected, as long as you are not stupid, don’t offend someone you can’t afford to offend. Then you will sit firmly in the official position. The boss has no power to replace you for no reason. The boss’s boss is not good either. You must have a reason. Even if you have a reason, it depends on whether others agree or not.

Similarly, the same is true for promotion and transfer, unless the son speaks in person today, but the emperor can remember the names of officials under the fifth rank?

However, in the Beijing Prefecture, all officials under the fifth rank and below the fifth rank of the capital, and under the fourth rank of other provinces (including the prefect) were promoted, demoted, dismissed, and transferred to the Ministry of Personnel.

In fact, it is equivalent to the Minister of Personnel and the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel deciding whether you will stay or not, and this is the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no reason to resist.

Everything you say is fake. The benefit of getting it is real. If you don’t want to participate, you will lose your official position. Who dares to take this risk? And if you participate in this matter, it is not yourself who takes the lead. There are some benefits. Why not participate......

The censor and the middle-level censor are not of high rank, but they are real censors. People who can be in this position naturally have a good pen and can write good articles.

Yao Bo’s wife and children are in the hands of others, so naturally they dare not neglect them. "There are more than 3,000 words, and the classics are extremely wonderful. The Tongzhengsi and the Silijian are both convenient, and the memorials are also in the hands of Emperor Wanli.

"If you say that the country has no crown prince, it is unstable. If I have a bad situation, wouldn't the country be in chaos?" Wanli took out the memorial at the court meeting," said sneeringly while shaking the memorial in front of the six ministers of the cabinet.

Before this memorial was handed over to the palace, many of these bigwigs had already seen the full text. "It was not very surprising to see Emperor Wanli reacting like this. Some people bowed their heads slightly, while more people were looking at Emperor Wanli.

Last year, he was obviously showing the emperor's scheming and tricks, but after that, these ministers in the court had more and more ideas. Emperor Wanli had this idea in his mind. The expressions of the following ministers fell into his eyes, but they made him even more angry.

Emperor Wanli wanted to say something but stopped again. He held down the handrail and put it down. At the end, he stood up and threw the folded book in his hand to the ground, scolding: "Why are you looking forward to my death soon?!" Emperor Wanli was gasping for breath. His eyes turned red, and he glanced at the ministers in the hall. In this situation, Shen Shixing coughed lightly, led the crowd to kneel down, and said, "Please calm down your anger!"

On the other side, Zhang Cheng and his eunuchs knelt down and said the same thing. There was nothing wrong with this response, and it was just the norm, but it had no effect in alleviating the anger of Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli looked around and looked around. Everyone lowered their heads and no one could help.

After taking a few breaths, Emperor Wanli sat back on the chair and waved his hand and said, "It's not that you have memorials, you have all got up. I'm going to punish this bastard. Who is going to instigate such nonsense? Zhang Cheng arranged for the Jinyiwei to take it and ask clearly when he was imprisoned!"

Since Wang Tong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, went to Guihua City, the Jinyiwei Departments reported to the upper level and did not look for the remaining commander, but went directly to Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, and Zou Yi, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervision. Emperor Wanli ordered it to go directly to the other side, but Zhang Cheng did not answer.

Emperor Wanli was stunned and then furious. Turning his head, he saw Zhang Cheng's face was bitter and shaking his head with great movements. Emperor Wanli turned his head and looked at him. Someone among the ministers who had just stood up had kneeled down and spoke and said, "Your Majesty, the censor is not guilty of words." Although Yao Bo rebelled, his words made some sense. He was the most important thing, and he was considerate. For the country and the country, his ancestors, and his Majesty has a son, "realize the crown prince" to set a name, which can make the evil villains less opportunity to take advantage of the country and the country for generations. Otherwise, there is a time when he dare not speak, his reputation is not right, and there may be troubles!"

The minister kneeling on the ground had a strong voice and a strong expression. Emperor Wanli pondered with a gloomy face and said, "Shen Li, you are so anxious about your family affairs. Could it be that Yao Bo was instigated by you?"

Shen Li kowtowed on the ground, then straightened his body and said, "Your Majesty, the heavenly family is selfless. Your Majesty's family affairs are related to the country and the country, that is, the world. As the Minister of Rites, this great ceremony is naturally unrestrained. The elders and young people are orderly, which is the most ethics of human ethics. The eldest son of the emperor is now healthy and intelligent, so why don't he make a name? "Yao Bo dares to give a direct advice, what's wrong with what he said? "Your Majesty is a clear reference!"

Emperor Wanli suddenly held the handrail with both hands, trying to stand up and explode, but felt that he had no confidence. He glanced at the people under the seat.

In the three cabinets of Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and Xu State, including the Minister of War, Zhang Xueyan, would not be with Shen Li, while Yang Wei (Shangshi of the Ministry of Personnel), Wang Lin (Shangshi of the Ministry of Revenue), Shu Hua (Shangshi of the Ministry of Justice), Yang Zhao (Shangshi of the Ministry of Works), and Zhao Jin (Shangshi of the Left Censor) were the same faction.

But Shen Shixing and others would not argue with Yang Wei's faction about this matter. Emperor Wanli also knew what the civil officials outside were about, and he did not want to open the matter too early, but he did not expect that the censor outside would open the matter first.

Among the court officials, either stood by or firmly supported Li Chang. Emperor Wanli had no alliance. He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the inner officials. He might be able to rely on him. Zhang Cheng looked respectful, Zhang Jing lowered his head slightly. Zhang Hong and Tian Yi looked full of admiration.
