Not everyone can enter the palace. There are only so many people in the court for thousands of years. Most people’s impression of the court meeting was obtained from someone’s “Official Trails Picture”.

On the high platform in front of Fengtian, the emperor sat upright, and the ceremonial team composed of eunuchs and inner guards arranged on the spacious open space in front of Fengtian. According to his own grade and yamen, officials from all over the open space lined up in the open space.

There are officials and eunuchs who specialize in ceremonies, censors who picket etiquette, and bands responsible for drums and music. The whole scene seems solemn and dignified.

In fact, such a dynasty meeting is only available at the dynasty meetings on the first and fifteenth day of each month. On weekdays, the emperor and the big men discussed politics in Fengtian Hall or Wenyuan Pavilion.

The Grand Court meeting was a completely etiquette activity. Its purpose was mainly to let officials see the emperor and increase their sense of belonging and honor in this serious and solemn ceremony. It took almost a whole morning to participate in this activity, and often no political affairs were done in the afternoon. Most officials regarded him as a vacation.

However, the dynasty meeting on July 15th is different. From the eleventh year of Wanli ascends to the throne, Emperor Wanli will worship his ancestors on this day. Moreover, this day is the time of the Ullambana meeting among the people. Emperor Wanli will also invite monks to pray for his mother and express his filial piety.

This rule in the 12th year of Wanli no longer exists. Of course, everyone knows what it means. On July 15th of the 10th year of Wanli, the grand ceremony held by Emperor Wanli was even more different from previous years.

The dynasty meetings on the first and fifteenth day of the dynasty are purely polite, and almost all the officials of the sixth rank arrived with "so many people" and such noisy scenes" that they could not discuss politics.

However, Emperor Wanli has issued an order. At this tribute meeting on July 15, he will announce the establishment of the crown prince, which is a great event that is really unforgettable.

Even civil officials who had no interest in it were excited, and those who were noisy and involved were even more ecstatic. Emperor Wanli did not use court as a silent protest. This protest finally came to an end under the pressure of the outside court. He wanted to give everyone a result. After the resolution to establish the crown prince was given, the situation would change drastically.

Even the crown prince cannot be based on his own wishes. Then the right to speak in the court affairs will be greatly weakened in the future. The dominant part of this matter is the linkage between the Qingliu of the Foreign Kingdom, and the decisive turning point is caused by the Queen Mother Cisheng of the Cining Palace. In the future, these two parties will become the new core and take the government affairs into their hands.

Emperor Wanli and the inner court forces he relied on will be constantly vained. Wang Tong, who has always been like a dragon in his throat, and the wealth forces in his hands will be gradually vained and eaten by everyone.

Since the Tumubao Incident to the present, the government and the country are all literati, and eunuchs will be in charge of it for a while. It is too abnormal for such an internal guard general to instigate and implement internal and external policies. But fortunately, this abnormality will only take a few years and will be back on track soon.

The establishment of the crown prince this time has another meaning, that is, to tell the incumbent emperors and the next few emperors, who is in control of this today.

He is a scholar and a civil servant who has achieved fame and fame in the imperial examination. The emperor can kill one or two, but it cannot be separated from these civil servants to govern the world. The world's great traffic depends on the opinions of the civil servants.

Early in the morning of July 15th, as usual, "the lower the rank of officials arrives, and the more they are waiting in their positions, naturally, the six ministers," the two censors of the Censorate, and several big men from the cabinet came at the last time. They were walking on the road left in the middle of the official queue.

Shen Shixing looked ahead with a calm expression, still with the prime minister's demeanor, walking forward slowly, Xu Guo lowered his head, and Wang Xijue looked obviously uncomfortable, and from time to time, even the Beijing officials, even many fourth-rank and fifth-rank officials, were given the opportunity to meet the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Six Ministers and the Chief Censors, the Central Core of the Censors in the court meeting.

The appearance of the ministry Wang Xijue made some experienced officials laugh. Wang Cifu is very capable of doing things, but he is a little unsteady. People in their forties often look like they are in their teens.

However, although Shen Shixing and Xu Guo were in their usual state, they still felt a little depressed. Cooperating with Wang Xijue's appearance, this further illustrates.

Compared with the depressedness of the cabinet, the Secretary behind can be described as being proud and proud. Yang Wei walked alone behind the people in the cabinet, and the Secretary and the Censor of the Ministry of Justice were behind Yang Wei, which highlighted his status, which made him unique.

There was a low voice among the officials on both sides. Yang Wei's disciples instigated this time. "The result was to achieve their purpose of instigation." It also formed an alliance with Empress Dowager Cisheng. What will be obvious next? Yang Wei will have the status of Zhang Juzheng back then, and he will be in power in the court and the people.

"I heard that I didn't. After this court meeting, the people below will connect and submit memorials?"

"That impeached the Prime Minister Shin..."

"Tsk tsk, I will be promoted to the cabinet next. It is said that he has become the chief minister of the cabinet. He doesn't need to be removed from the position of Minister of Personnel. What a glory!"

"It is worth it to do this. Yang Taizai has achieved this point, and at least he can protect his wealth for three generations and make great contributions. This generation is no longer worried. Will the next generation of emperor forget this great benefactor..."

"Look at Wu Zuolai over there, he is so proud. It is said that his position has been set. First, go to be an inspector, and then wait for development step by step!!"

"This is so slanderous. Don't you think about who the teacher is!" The officials were talking. At this time, the ceremonial singer had not yet come out, and everyone could just do it. Everyone's words were full of envy and jealousy towards Yang Wei and his group officials. Yang Wei and his group officials, especially Wu Zuo, were even more proud of their pride. They were also quick to move and had already started to please.

At the closest distance, you can still hear Wu Zuo come and say loudly there: "Brother Yao Bo said righteously and foremost, he was the first to speak out. Now he is still suffering in the imperial prison. Everyone should submit a memorial. "It is better to rescue him!"

There was a voice around him. Those who stood at the outermost line of officials were those who were cold yamen or those with low qualifications. They looked at the inner circle with envy and those who were close to Wu Zuolai and Yang Wei, who were both mocking or cursing in their hearts, and then looked at the great generals standing in the outer circle with bored.

Although the Han general was also in the Jinyiwei system, it was a ritual of the guard of honor, responsible for standing there to demonstrate the royal majesty. Anyone who had seen the Han generals before the tenth year of Wanli knew that the Han generals were divided into different positions, and the new and old clothes were also very different. The further away from the emperor's position, the more worn the clothes, and even there were patches and broken DNG.

Emperor Longqing once discovered this and wanted to blame the relevant officials seriously, but later it was left unresolved. However, after the tenth year of Wanli, the armor on the Han general's body became more and more glamorous, no matter how far away from the imperial throne, it was like this. The palace gradually had silver, and these Jinyiwei responsible for the ceremonial guards became better and better. The fish scale armor was said to have been rebuilt in Tianjin Weiguanfang. A pair of armor costs more than 100 taels of silver, and the palace gave more than 100,000 taels at a time, which was really a waste.

Not to mention them, the Jinyiwei outside the palace was even more away. They were wearing brand new robes and walking on the streets with their chests and belly folded. The people incest felt that they were the people who were justice, and the civil servants were increasingly ignored. However, they were not long after their glory. After today, the Qingliu, who was in power, would bring these things back little by little, so that these inner guards would restore their former ragged appearance.

“Silent nnnn”

I don’t know when, on both sides of the Fengtian Men platform, in the places where the officials stood, more than a dozen eunuchs stood there. After ringing the cloud board on the stage, the eunuchs shouted in unison.

The eunuchs who shouted here were selected by the men, and they had already practiced many times. More than a dozen people shouted out at the same time, suppressing the noise in the square. "The officials stopped talking at this time and began to sort out their robes." They were corrected and prepared for the emperor to appear.

“Music nn”

Someone shouted loudly, and the monotonous and solemn music sounded. Emperor Wanli, wearing a crown robe, appeared on the platform, and a ceremonial sang loudly shouted: "Bless nnnn". The officials bowed to the ground in unison. Emperor Wanli sat upright on the imperial throne, and the ceremonial sang loudly again: "Let's get up nnnnn", all the officials got up." The officials were close to the imperial throne, and they could see clearly that Emperor Wanli had a sneer on his face. Everyone didn't care. The young people were like this. Their resistance was often sneered. Perhaps they would show that he didn't care in front of the ministers, but the overall situation was settled, just sneer!

Kneel down, this is just the beginning of the etiquette of the Dashenghui. The ritual singer, who was the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, shouted at the top of his voice: "See your Majesty, long live my emperor!!" The etiquette of three bows and nine bows and long live my emperor began, and the officials knelt down and "kow" chant again. This ceremony was quite difficult for civil officials over fifty years old, but Yang Wei and his men were in a completely different mood when they did this. Although they were kneeling, their mentality seemed to be that they were sitting on the platform themselves.

"Traveling nn"

As the singer finished speaking, he retreated to the queue. Emperor Wanli waved his hand gently, and the scene was silent, and everyone was waiting for Emperor Wanli's words.

"I have been fighting for the establishment of a crown prince for more than two months, but I have no choice but to pay attention to the political affairs. Today I will issue an order to set the position of the crown prince so that I can satisfy the hearts of all the ministers."
