In fact, Li Chengliang is not bad. He has made too many contributions. Most of the officials in the court have taken his free ride and made a strong job for their descendants. How can he destroy the job of their own children and grandchildren?

So he submitted a memorial to ask for retirement and ended with a decent ending, which was a great joy.

Wanli asked Li Chengliang who could succeed him? He recommended Qi Jiguang to take over his position as the general of Liaodong.

The ministers also submitted a letter to recommend Qi Jiguang as the one. They were really worried about the mess in Liaodong to others, and Wanli finally agreed.

After retiring, Li Chengliang was preparing to lead a remote inspection team of Northwest Company in person to go to Xibo Li to inspect it to see if there was any problem...

Zhao Hao dealt with Qi Jiguang, accepted Li Chengliang, and gave him a gift of Li Rusong... In fact, the general of Ji Town, Yang Siwei, had already defected to Jiangnan Group.

Although General Yang was born in Liaoyang, his ancestral home is in Nanzhi and has always regarded himself as a Jiangnan person.

When he was the deputy general in Ji Town, Tangshan City was within its jurisdiction. As we went back and forth, our relationship continued to heat up, and we were already a family. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to take over Qi Jiguang and serve as the general officer of Ji Town.

Zhao Hao chose to meet Li Chengliang at Shanhaiguan to let Lao Li understand this.

When Li Chengliang saw that even Shanhaiguan was in Zhao Hao's hands, how could he be so troubled?

On that day, when Shanhaiguan stopped him, the army landed from Tangshan and could only stare at him. Since he couldn't defeat him, he had to join.

Ironically, Zhao Hao is going to disarm the Ming Dynasty here.

On the other hand, the monarch and ministers who knew it later were still fighting for the foundation of the country...

In April, because the emperor broke his promise and became lost, he showed his scoundrel face, and the five cabinet ministers resigned together.

Wanli was stunned. Without the Grand Secretary to help him handle state affairs, how could he be lazy? Without the Grand Secretary to help him and his wife, wouldn't he be scolded to death by the censor every day?

He didn't bother to pretend to be dead, and quickly issued an edict after another to comfort the Grand Secretary. But the five of them were determined to be determined and begged to leave.

Wanli knew what they wanted.

In desperation, he had to reluctantly sacrifice himself... Well, he showed up and invited the Grand Secretary to the platform, saying that he was sick again after the beginning of the year, so he did not read the memorials, and did not intend to hide from you.

And what we have agreed on during the Chinese New Year must count. I will arrange for my elder brother to study as soon as possible.

Several senior officials had already decided before they arrived, so they couldn't believe it anymore this time. However, it's not a big deal to put so many things in the country...

Moreover, there is no one in the cabinet, so it is too inconvenient to do something.

So the four great masters said that they still couldn't come back to work. But in order to take into account the overall situation, Wang Jiaping, the last auxiliary, was willing to go back to the cabinet and hold the ball first.

Wanli thought, it would be better if there was one back, at least someone in the cabinet was on duty, so he would send him all the comments to him without any memorials.

But a few days later, he found that it would be better not to come back if he came back alone. Because the cabinet ministers kept him in the cabinet just because they were watching him fulfilling their promises as soon as possible...

A few days later, Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites who had just been promoted this spring, led all the letters as soon as he took office, urging the emperor to appoint the crown prince as soon as possible. And his words were very rude.

He directly accused Wanli of being an emperor of being extremely irresponsible, as a father, and completely sorry for his ancestors!

He was so angry that he was furious that Yu Shenxing and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were fined.

Then he taught Zhang Hong to bring a message to Wang Jiaping and asked him to talk to the people from the Ministry of Rites, would it be okay to be more peaceful?

Wang Jiaping said sorry on the spot. As a strong old Xier, he can't mix with him...

Not only did he not persuade Yu Shenxing, he also defended the Ministry of Rites, saying that they were also responsible. It was useless for the emperor to punish Yu Shenxing. Didn’t his ex-boy Chen Li and Zhu Geng resign one after another because they were unable to establish a prince? If you mess with him again, be careful that he would resign with you.

Within a year, three prime ministers and ministers resigned one after another. Isn’t it too ugly?

Wanli was speechless and could not speak out. He was not afraid of Yu Shenxing's resignation, but was afraid that Wang Jiaping would give up with him and the cabinet would be empty again.

I had no choice but to swallow my anger and asked the eunuch to send a verbal order to Wang Jiaping, saying that the general idea was that I would definitely do the agreed things on time. Please comfort them and don’t let them mess with me again.

Unexpectedly, after receiving the imperial edict, Wang Jiaping, who was not virtuous in martial arts, turned around and told the Ministry of Rites.

Yu Shenxing immediately submitted a memorial saying that the edict had been received. I immediately informed the government offices of the two capitals and the provincial governments, asking them to wait patiently and not bother the emperor this spring.

Seeing Yu Shenxing's memorial, Wanli almost passed away. Okay, this is going to force the palace!

His oral order was just to stabilize Wang's pen and let him stabilize the ministers for himself.

Anyway, it’s no point in saying it, but it’s not a matter of time.

Wanli was so angry that he immediately sent someone to question Wang Jiaping, how could he forward the private message I gave you? He even asked Yu Shenxing to send it in a group!

This is great, I have forced me to Liangshan.

And it's late May now, OK...

Wang Jiaping then went to the book to resign, saying that he was indeed wrong to do this. But that was because the affairs of the country were disturbed for too long and the ministers misunderstood too many times. I could not persuade them one by one, so I could only convey His Majesty’s will to eliminate everyone’s doubts.”

The translation is, don’t think of playing with us as fools anymore. I won’t be blamed for you, and I will play with you!

Although the emperor could not keep his word in private, once he put it on the table, he still had to treat it as a golden rule, and Wanli himself also had to abide by it. After the attack, he had to issue an official imperial edict:

‘I treat the world with honesty. How can I spoil and paranoid? I have been over ten years old and I have my own orders to enroll and enroll and hold them together when I go out of the house. It is not advisable to bother with the words and urge you to know it now.’

The meaning is clear at a glance. Don’t bother me, I have no intention of deposing the eldest son and establishing the youngest son. When the eldest son is ten years old, he will be appointed as the crown prince and let him go out of the cabinet to study.

The court cheered all over the court, and all officials celebrated each other. Zhu Changluo was nine years old, and he was ten years old since the Chinese New Year. Although the emperor took the opportunity to delay it for another year, what the officials wanted was to finalize this matter, and they didn't care one year earlier or later.

Anyway, the emperor has issued a formal decree, there will be no more variables...

Unfortunately, being straightforward and neat is never the style of Wanli. His mother-in-law and mother went back on their word. After issuing the imperial edict, Wanli felt more and more panicked when he thought about it, and sent someone to the cabinet to pass on the imperial edict.

'Because Wang Jiaping made small moves, the matter of enthronement will be delayed from this year to next year. By next spring and summer, the Taoist officials will not bother with the words, and will issue an edict next winter. If they are irritated again, they will be postponed by the age of fifteen!'

But no one took it to heart. This time the emperor was forced to bow to all officials. He was definitely angry and he was not allowed to vent his anger?

The naive grandmasters all believed that the national base problem had been solved, so they came back to see the situation. Only the chief assistant Zhao Shouzheng still firmly asked for it.

First of all, he took the lead in forcing the emperor to establish a crown prince this time, which seriously damaged Wanli's prestige. In order to eliminate the adverse effects, he, the chief minister, had to resign.

Second, his eye disease has not improved so far, and it has seriously affected his normal work. It is better to abdicate and let the virtuous go home to take care of his illness.

Wanli naturally couldn't bear to leave his Zhao Shoufu. On the one hand, he sent eunuchs to Zhaojia Hutong to treat the disease and gave him a bite of fresh pig, a fresh sheep, sweet pickled melon, eggplant, white rice, and ten bottles of wine. On the other hand, he also told me: "It is better to add more and take care of the cabinet, and you can also take care of the court affairs. You can get rid of it as soon as you recover, and I will be in my favor."

It means that he can work from home like himself, without quitting, and then come back after he is ready.

Good guy, now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Prime Minister are working from home together...

As for the incident of causing blame, Wanli didn't even mention it. The bad guys were all Wang Jiaping. How could a kind person like Yuan Fu run over me?

In addition, all officials also came to the book to ask for comfort and comfort. No one can bear to leave such a good leader. Who will send red envelopes to everyone if he leaves?

It was difficult to refuse the kindness, so Zhao Shouzheng had to stay at home for another month. Unexpectedly, not only did the ghosting of his eyes not improve at all, but the rainbow appeared again. When he saw the light source, a colorful halo appeared around it, and his eyes became prism-like.

This is a pain in Zhao Shouzheng. He originally saw that everything was doubled, so the color halo was also doubled. When you open your eyes, you will become a kaleidoscope. How cool is it?

Isn't it a waste of time? He felt that his life was not long and he fulfilled his obligations to the emperor, so he continued to go to the book and firmly beg for it.

After entering the eighth volume, Wanli had no choice but to agree to return home first and come back quickly when his condition improves. He also joined the Taifu, went to the state of the country, and gave the literati and ordered the officials to escort Yuanfu back home.

Giving the literati means giving pensions and sending people to serve them. This is a common practice and is not surprising.

However, he was still very fond of being a tutor. Especially Emperor Wanli, who was in the forefront and not the forefront, was able to be promoted from a young tutor to a tutor, which shows that he really liked Mr. Zhao.

Unfortunately, Zhao Shouzheng resolutely refused to accept his resignation and was still his young tutor. Wanli had to give up.

June 6, 18th year of Wanli.

With the tears of all officials, Zhao Shouzheng, the former chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, wore a pair of cool sunglasses, left Beijing City by boat.

Two days later, the boat arrived at Caofei Port.

Zhao Hao was waiting for him there for a long time.

"Son, you miss your father to death..." Zhao Shouzheng immediately choked up when he saw the two figures with Zhao Hao's own halo.

"Dad, I miss you very much." Zhao Hao's eyes also turned red. After the fifteenth year of Wanli, the father and son had been together for three years and had not met for more than a thousand days.

The more you are, the more you cannot be. Throughout history, are there few examples of dying by yourself at the last moment?

With Zhao Hao's cautious nature, he would never set foot in the capital and be in danger unless he had to.

From this perspective, it would be better if Zhao Erye was not a good assistant.

As soon as the boat landed, Zhao Shouzheng staggered off the boat with Cai Ming's support.

Looking at his father's old look, Zhao Hao's tears finally burst out from his eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry, you are forty, how can you stay old?" Zhao Shouzheng wanted to wipe his tears, but reached out but touched the air, obviously guessing the wrong direction.

Mr. Zhao immediately cried into tears. "Son, your father is going to be a blind man. Will I die?"

"..." Zhao Hao choked immediately. Why did he reveal his true colors again after retirement? After a while, he said, "It won't be."
