Chapter 910: Lessons from the past

Your Majesty, I would like to resign!!

The court meeting was silent. From Emperor Wanli to the little eunuch who served in the hall, everyone heard clearly what Wang Tong said in a very singular manner.

When Emperor Wanli saw Wang Tong go out, he subconsciously smiled, and then his smile froze on his face. Zhang Cheng and Tian Yi, who were on the right side of Emperor Wanli, both looked up and stared at Wang Tong in shock. Zhang Cheng even opened his mouth to ask, but the cultivation of the court center within many years made him speak out.

The civil servants who knelt down in the court did not care about the loss of manners in front of the king. They all raised their heads, widened their eyes, and stared at Wang Tong who was kneeling there.

At the side hall of Fengtianmen, officials participating in the court meeting could present memorials on the spot. Wang Tong held the memorials in both hands and knelt there with great integrity.

According to the rules, after the ministers said that Zhao Jinliang, who was beside Emperor Wanli, was about to go down to take the memorial and hand it over to the emperor. The bosses were shocked, and Zhao Jinliang was also shocked. However, he reacted faster and first reacted. He ran down to receive the memorial. As soon as he walked a few steps, he heard someone shouting loudly behind him.

"What a panic! I haven't heard anything yet!"

It was Emperor Wanli who was scolding him, his tone was full of anger. Zhao Jinliang hurriedly knelt down and never dared to move again. Zhao Jinliang's status in the inner palace was also unusual. Although he was the attendant of Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli would not say anything serious to him, but this sentence just now was full of anger.

Seeing Zhao Jinliang lying on the ground and not daring to move, Emperor Wanli Yan looked at the people in the hall coldly, and the people in the cabinet and the six ministers of the ministers were all staring at Wang Tong. In the eyes of Emperor Wanli, these civil officials were full of excitement. Wang Tong wanted to resign, but the thorns in their eyes disappeared naturally.

"Wang Tong, I haven't heard what you said clearly, please say it again!"

Emperor Wanli said coldly that Wang Tong's posture of kneeling on the ground had not changed, nor his tone had not changed. He spoke in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, please resign!!"

The result of asking again was the same. The action of asking again seemed quite childish and ridiculous. Emperor Wanli's face suddenly turned red, his tone was full of anger, and he asked again:

"Wang Tong, why did you resign? Do you have any debts to you?"

"Your Majesty, the turmoil in the capital has been pacified. If you are in the capital, how will your Majesty deal with all the officials and ministers?

Wang Tong's tone was calm without any twists and turns. His calm made Emperor Wanli even more angry, and he no longer had any repression. He roared directly:

"I am the emperor. Whatever I want is what I want, you are my loyal minister. You are on my side and are loyal to me. Why can't I treat all the officials and ministers? I think it's right, why do you think it's impossible? You are the emperor!? I am the emperor!?"

The last sentence was said, and the people in the side hall looked at each other helplessly. The eunuchs all knelt down, and the ministers lowered their heads again.

Wang Tong kowtowed and continued:

"Your Majesty, I am the commander of the Jinyiwei, and I am the commander of the Jinyiwei, and I am in power. There are rumors that Your Majesty will be the envoys to govern the Beijing camp. Your Majesty, in this way, the Jinyiwei departments will add the Beijing camp and the troops of the Beijing camp, and more than three-fifths of the troops in the capital are in the hands of one person. How can I deal with it?"

Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment, but did not immediately deny the ministers below, but exchanged glances, letting Wang Tong generalize the Beijing Camp news that they also heard the reaction of Emperor Wanli today, that was to confirm that Wang Tong continued:

"Your Majesty is the greatest in the world. If you are greater than the king, it will be a disaster for the turmoil of the country. You should have the duty of your subordinates. You know that you have made merits and you should reward you. But you have such a high position and there is no reward. It is already a crime for your subordinates to make things difficult for you. I am very unwilling to do so. I would like to resign."

"Wang Tong? You mean I am mean and ruthless. Are you worried that I will be suspicious in the future?"

"I dare not, Your Majesty, I know that this act is a great rebellion, but I am angry with Your Majesty today, but I am trying to make the relationship between the king and the ministers in the future. I am a military man, and I don't know how to embellish my words, but my words are sincere. Please think twice."

Emperor Wanli interrupted in the middle, his voice was so cold that he had no emotions. Wang Tong still answered calmly. After saying the words "Third Thoughts", Wang Tong stood up and bowed, and bowed again solemnly. When he stood up, he looked at Emperor Wanli. Wang Tong looked open and his eyes were firm.

Seeing Wang Tong's expression, there was no anticipated resentment or even the anticipated smile. It was just solemn and open, Emperor Wanli immediately understood that Wang Tong was really resigning from his post, not venting the resentment of being beaten and exiled last year. Emperor Wanli let out a long sigh, but he was silent. The hall was quiet again, but this time it was quiet for too long. Emperor Wanli did not speak for a long time, and the eunuchs and ministers all looked up quietly.

Emperor Wanli still stood there, glanced at Wang Tong, and then glanced at the bosses of the inner court and outer court in the hall. His expression changed, he opened his mouth and closed it again. After hesitating for a long time, he asked in a low voice:

"Wang Tong, are you worried about my suspicion?"

"I don't know.

"Wang Tong, are you afraid that you will be afraid that you will be bored by me in the marriage last year, and then sent you to Jiangnan. You think I can't stand you with such great achievements. Instead of waiting for me to embarrass you, it's better to resign yourself first, so as to avoid the trouble at that time."

"I dare not guess myself. The reason for resigning from my resignation has just been explained that I want to fulfill my duties and dare not make His Majesty embarrassed, so I asked to resign from my current official position."

Wang Tong stood up again and replied loudly. Emperor Wanli raised his hand and pointed at Wang Tong, trying to say something, but he paused but still didn't speak, and he was truly silent.

The silence was long this time. The youngest eunuchs and ministers were around forty-five years old. They bent down and got up when they bowed to the court. It was not that hard. Even so, everyone also had cotton pads on their knees. It was really hard to maintain this posture when they were old.

After being silent for too long, many people could not keep such stiff movements. They all looked up or did some movements, mostly exchanging expressions and eyes. No one could have expected this situation. Everyone was on guard against the fact that a powerful party was even more powerful than Qian Ning and Jiang Bin's traitor. Moreover, this civil servant had no way to restrict it. He had financial power, military power, help from the big boss of the inner court, and even the support of Concubine Zheng. He could be unscrupulous.

What's even more terrifying is that Wang Tong is very young. This article is provided by Ziying Scorpio. In other words, his current status is not the end, it is just the beginning. I don't know what will happen next, but everyone will be replaced one after another due to old age and illness.

After thinking a lot and calculating a lot, no one could have thought that Wang Tong, who knew how to advance and retreat so much, even resigned at the court meeting.

If Emperor Wanli summoned the right to the other party in private and Wang Tong said this, it might be a deliberate attitude, but if it is said on such a formal occasion, there are verbal evidences from inside and outside people. If it is decided, it will be difficult to have any repetitions.

The new Minister of War Bi Qiang knelt there and hesitated, gritted his teeth and stood up to bow, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I have a word. Although Lord Wang's move is a sudden move, it is a sudden move to retreat. His retreat will allow Your Majesty to arrange it calmly, and the people of the world can feel at ease. It will also allow Your Majesty and Lord Wang to have a good relationship with both the monarch and the ministers, and will be a good story in the future."

Emperor Wanli's lips sneered, and just as he was about to speak, Wang Xijue, the second assistant to the cabinet, also spoke and said:

"Your Majesty rewards merits and rewards Lord Wang. This is a matter of course. You can get a title or a title or a military power, but you should not be given lightly. Lord Wang is the general of the Jinyiwei Jingying, and if the Jinyiwei Jingying is in one hand, and Lord Wang and the Huwei Army are related to me, the military power in the capital is mostly in one hand. Even if Lord Wang is loyal and righteous, he is afraid that there are evil villains who think there is an opportunity to take advantage of it and want to provoke the camp in it. Your Majesty, isn't the disaster of the imperial guards in the Tang Dynasty taught me a lesson?"

"You guys are sophisticated and conspiring to the country!"

Emperor Wanli's face finally showed a smile on his face, but he sneered. Bi Qiang, the Minister of War, dared not say anything again, but Wang Xijue kowtowed and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I will think about planning the country!"

"Please think carefully!"

After Wang Xijue finished speaking, the chief minister of the cabinet, Shen Shixing, also said in a deep voice, kneeling down and bowing down. The six ministers of the cabinet all followed him and said in unison.

Emperor Wanli's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something but stopped. He suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity. Wang Tong's current situation was the same as last year, and even more troublesome than last year. Last year, Wang Tong made unprecedented achievements. At that time, he was just worried that Wang Tong was domineering and wanted to beat him. If he didn't beat him, the position of the commander of the Dingbei Hou and the Jinyiwei was enough to repay him.

But now, Wang Tong did not care about the attacks and arrangements provided by Ziying Scorpio in this article. He still risked his life back to the capital and mobilized troops to completely suppress the civil officials. If there was any mistake this time, Wang Tong would fall into a doomed place and would become the target of public criticism, but Wang Tong was still on the side of Emperor Wanli.

Such merits and such statements must be rewarded, but Wang Tong is currently firmly in control of the Jinyiwei and Shuntian Mansion, and has a close relationship with the Huwei Army. He has let him control the Beijing camp because he cannot find someone more at ease, but Wang Tong has mastered it, and the power of his subordinates is too great, which makes people worry.

In fact, even if Wang Tong does not allow him to control the Beijing camp, his power and power are enough to worry. If he takes this opportunity, no matter whether he really wants to resign or has other plans, he will be relieved to take the initiative to remove his power...
