Ming Dynasty, early morning on the first day of June in the sixth year of Longqing year (the first day of June, 1572)

Ciqing Palace.

…

"Tengu eats the sun! Tengu eats the sun!"

"Don't panic, everyone should perform their duties and guard the East Palace!"

The noise and noise outside Ciqing Palace continued for a long time.

In the hall, Shi Yue was half-lying on the bed, holding his forehead with his hands and looking dazed for a moment.

Two chamberlains stood beside him, waiting for him to change his clothes.

Shi Yue ignored them, closed his eyes tightly, and sorted out the mixed information in his mind.

He only remembered that he was conducting research and conducting meetings in various local districts, and then a solar eclipse suddenly occurred, and he immediately lost consciousness.

After waking up, I ended up here inexplicably, and then a flood of chaotic memories flooded into my mind.

Ming Dynasty...the sixth year of Longqing...Zhu Yijun...the crown prince...

A long time passed.

Finally, he opened his eyes.

call……

He breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Shi Yue was able to sort out the chaotic memories in his mind.

Shi Yue stretched out his hands with a strange look on his face.

Looking at my young body by candlelight.

Actually, I traveled through time...

The Ming Dynasty was the dynasty he lived in.

Crown Prince Zhu Yijun is his current identity.

His identity was truly remarkable. Shi Yue rubbed his brows vigorously.

He had struggled all the way in his previous life, so he naturally had a lot of common sense in testing. Isn’t Zhu Yijun the name of Emperor Wanli!?

Apart from other things, he had heard of Emperor Wanli who had not been in court for 30 years.

Of course, it was partly because of Zhang Juzheng that he learned about this period of history. Naturally, his impression of the Wanli Emperor himself was not that good.

There is even a saying in later generations that the Ming Dynasty actually died in Wanli. After all, the Ming Dynasty fell in only 24 years after his death.

Let’s not say whether he is right or not, after all, he is not professional.

But no matter how you say it, this can be regarded as a real emperor at the end of the empire.

At the end of any dynasty, there were not a lot of evils? At this time, the Ming Dynasty was full of five evils.

Official corruption is rampant.

Financial scarcity is difficult to support.

The military is weak.

People's livelihood is miserable and miserable.

The barbarians from all over the world continued to harass us.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that Jiannu was the one who grew up during the Wanli period, right?

Enduring the discomfort of just crossing over, I recalled it with difficulty.

After confirming, Shi Yue couldn't help but smack his mouth with unknown meaning.

At this beginning, he really has a great position and a great responsibility, and he doesn't know who is coming to test him.

Shi Yue laughed at himself.

But, it’s really a test!

Who is Shi Yue?

He came from a poor background, received a master's degree all the way, was promoted through selection and selection, and worked in taxation, town and township, municipal industry bureau, and provincial science and technology department.

After that, the journey became even more prosperous, and the road became extremely prosperous.

Emperor? What can't you do? It's just the central position!

At the end of the dynasty? It is even more important to turn the tide when it is falling and to support the building that is about to collapse. This is what men of our generation should do!

…

Zhu Yijun gradually calmed down and thought about the current situation.

On the twenty-sixth day of last month, the late emperor died of illness in Qianqing Palace. Today is the first day of the lunar month, so it only took a few days.

In other words, the throne of the emperor is now vacant.

Fortunately, Zhu Yijun was established as the prince four years ago, and his throne was stable. Various forms of edicts, hand-written edicts, and oral edicts were passed down to him before and after the late Emperor Bintian.

Two of his elder brothers died young, and the only younger brother left has no hair at all, so there is no fear of any ups and downs.

Therefore, this throne is just a matter of process.

However, everything has buts.

The great power in the world is nothing more than name and implement.

He has been a man for two generations and is well versed in ancient and modern times. He has seen countless people who had their names empty but lost their weapons.

Are there too many chief officials who can’t even get a word in during daily life meetings?

The same applies to the throne of emperor.

Being called an emperor does not mean that he has the actual status of an emperor.

Just like now, even if he ascends the throne, he can only observe politics and has no qualifications to intervene.

As for the reason?

He is only ten years old!

This is still a false year.

Zhu Yijun was born in September 1563, so he was actually only eight years old.

Naturally, this is not an age where one can personally govern, and it is impossible for courtiers and officials to trust him with political affairs.

As a descendant, he must also know that when the late Emperor Longqing passed away, some people in the cabinet lamented: How can a ten-year-old emperor rule the world?

How outrageous is this? But this is the attitude of a cabinet minister.

As for what kind of artifact God has given?

It's just a matter of deceiving the women and children of the head of Guizhou. Which one of the hundreds of officials is not a human being?

Don’t you all know what a ten-year-old child is like?

Not to mention the political atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty.

A fire in the palace is a punishment from heaven for the emperor's failure to practice virtue.

His poor health was caused by the emperor's addiction to wine, sex, and wealth, and he reaped the consequences.

Local civil unrest was caused by the emperor's excessive demands and oppression of the people.

The emperor wants to retort that you, the officials, have no responsibility in governing the country?

Censor Tan Yao would say, "Why did we follow the rules in the past, but why do we violate them now?" What was good before the Ming Dynasty, how come it is no longer good in your hands?

Well, yes, the above are all things that Emperor Wanli experienced.

In short, it is your emperor who is not good at what he did!

But if the emperor really wants to do a good job? Then I'm sorry, the pardon edict will not be followed.

Not only the officials, but even his biological mother, Concubine Li, only treated him as a child, scolding and corporally punishing him at every turn.

After my predecessor ascended the throne, he experienced countless punishments, kneeling, and scoldings.

He was even forced to let the cabinet write for himself and issue edicts in his name.

It can be said that everyone inside and outside are all rebels who regard the emperor as a child!

Of course, he is a child, and there is nothing wrong with treating him as a child. Everyone is just seeking truth from facts.

But it’s not that their butts are different, it’s that they look at the problem from a different angle. Zhu Yijun very consciously thought about the problem from the proper standpoint.

This is the situation. In other words, it also means that he does not have the "mass base" to support the government.

Just thought of this.

It hurts.
