Wenhua Hall is located in the east of Huijimen and north of the cabinet. It is an extremely important building in the palace city. The lectures and lectures of the Ci ministers are often here. Since Emperor Yingzong, the emperor has seen the cabinet ministers less and less in the morning court. If summoned, he often also here. ○ However, since Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, he did not take charge of the government. Instead, Empress Dowager Cisheng Li personally took him to study in the Ganqing Palace. Even if he met the ministers in private, he often only spent the lectures. Therefore, he learned that the emperor would listen to Wenhua Hall. Since Wang Fulin made the case in Liaodong, he impeached the most enthusiastic censors.

As for the cabinet and the six masters who also attended the meeting, they were not as optimistic as those young young men who had just started their careers. All the smart ones smelled a bit of unusual meaning. Even if they were dull and unclear, they made up their minds to watch the wall without saying a word, and let the clowns jump around.

So, on the day when the Ministry of War was in the Qianbuling Corridor, when the Minister of War Tan Lun was about to set off for Wenhua Hall, he glanced at the worried Wang Daokun next to him and immediately laughed.

"Okay, don't worry. Look at your nephew who has never sent you a letter to ask for help or ask something, you will know that this kid has already understood the mystery. He dares to do such a big thing, and will he still be afraid of this situation today? Anyway, it is not the first day that others don't like it. If the trouble is too dissatisfied by then, I will be able to sacrifice my best."

"Brother Zili must not!" Wang Daokun jumped up from the chair. Although he had been in charisma for many years, and had a good relationship with his superiors and subordinates for many years. However, he had always been aware of the superiors and subordinates in the yamen. He never called Tan Lun's word "大天" at this time. He stopped Tan Lun with both hands, calmed down for a moment, and then whispered, "I care about it, it's a mess. I can't see some things clearly. Brother Zili, you have been sick for many days before, and didn't pay much attention to foreign affairs. I always feel that this time is strange, as if it's not entirely for the Ministry of War. Since Fulin is responsible, please ask Brother Zili to watch everything."

Tan Lun was full of passion and was immediately rushing by Wang Daokun's words, and he couldn't help but sigh. Thinking about the anti-Japanese war, the training of Ji Liao, and the open and secret arrows he faced since he was transferred to the Minister of War, he couldn't help feeling indifferent. He reluctantly nodded as agreed, and then went out without saying a word.

When Tan Lun went to Wenhua Hall, the other ministers of the Ministry of Personnel Zhang Han, the Minister of Revenue Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Revenue Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites Wang Chonggu, the Minister of Justice Wang Chaobin, the Minister of Works Guo Chaobin, the Censor of the Left Chief Censor Ge Shouli, and the Chief Auxiliary of the Cabinet Zhang Juzheng. The Second Auxiliary Lu Diaoyang, the Third Auxiliary Zhang Siwei. It was exactly the sequence of the top civil servants in the entire Ming Dynasty that all arrived. When these people stepped into the Wenhua Hall one after another and exchanged greetings and talked to each other, a very distinct circle was formed.

Next to Zhang Juzheng is Zhang Han, Minister of Personnel, Tan Lun, Minister of War, and Wang Guoguang. Next to Zhang Siwei is his uncle, Wang Chonggu, the new Minister of Justice. The latter two talked privately for a while and then merged into Zhang Juzheng's circle. As for the others, most of them are in charge of their own affairs and are not in circles. But when they look at the crowd of people around Zhang Juzheng, they are so upright that they can't help but frown.

Wang Chonggu's seat was the farthest from Zhang Juzheng, so he could see clearly what the expressions of the ministers who had never been dependent on him. He had been recalled to the capital from the position of Governor Xuanda, and initially he was in charge of the Beijing camp. However, the military power of the Beijing camp seemed to be very impressive, but in fact he was in the hands of layers of nobles and military officers. What's more, there was no war, and this position was completely pacified. However, he was famous outside the outside world, but he did not have much qualifications in the center. So even after he entered the capital, the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Rites were vacant, but because these were the two departments in the front, he did not get any chance.

As for the Ministry of Works, he didn't want to go at all, even if he wanted to go, he would not be recommended by the court without any experience in creating. In the end, Zhang Juzheng's in-laws, Wang Zhigao, was impeached for sending his mother back to his hometown and was reluctant to return. Then he took the initiative to ask for it. Only then did he barely gain a place among the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice, but the Minister of Justice was really not very powerful. In contrast, Zhang Siwei often went to and from Zhang Juzheng's door, flattered and flattered. In addition, he had enough qualifications in the Hanlin Academy, so he took a critical step earlier than him and entered the cabinet and became the Three Auxiliary.

But no matter what, it is already an anomaly to the top as both of them as uncles and nephews.

The actions against Wang Daokun were indeed inseparable from Wang Chonggu. In Wang Chonggu's view, Hui merchants almost squeezed out the Shanxi merchants in the salt industry in the Lianghuai River, which was fine, but the power of Huizhou officials in the court was also rising. Yin Zhengmao was temporarily appointed as the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing. Seeing that as long as someone in Beijing had to get a seat, Xu Guo had slowly entered the predecessor of the Prime Minister's Sequence, let alone Wang Daokun, who was Tan Lun's biggest helper. Putting aside the grievances of these two major merchant gangs, only the position of Minister of War is the most suitable for himself with rich military and political experience. He is older than Tan Lun, how many years can he work? This blocking the way is the greatest hatred!

However, Tan Lun was deeply trusted by Zhang Juzheng, and he dominated this position with his sick body. He worked with Zhang Siwei's uncle and nephew, and finally took advantage of the quarrels of Wang Daokun's famous scholarship. He always liked to point fingers or give in to the country, which made Zhang Juzheng bored with people. But who knew that when Wang Daokun was about to fall, Wang Fulin suddenly caused such a storm in Liaodong!

"I thought this would be the prelude to Wang Daokun's fall, but I didn't expect it to be the prelude to the sudden change in the court."

This is what Wang Chonggu said to Zhang Siwei in private. Therefore, as a native of Puzhou and an agent of the Shanxi merchant circle, the two set the tone for today's affairs early on. That is, they are close and separated, and they are more blunt when they hear the news, just don't show off the rabbit or show off the eagle!

"The emperor is about to come, please prepare for all the elders."

As a member of the ritual escort hall arrived first, he said this, and then he calmed down for a moment. The original small circle suddenly dispersed and became a solemn position according to the official rank. As for the person involved, Wang Fulin and those slogans, he had not yet entered the Wenhua Hall, so that this huge place seemed quite pure and empty. I don’t know how long it took, but everyone finally waited for a ritual, music and orchestra, followed by the emperor ascended to his seat and kowtowed to salute.

Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun was thirteen years old this year. He ascended the throne at the age of ten. Even though he had not taken power, he went to court every three days. He usually studied and sat at the middle throne, so he naturally had a bit of imperial demeanor. However, it was not until the lower place that he summoned Wang Fulin and several censors to the hall together that he secretly glanced at Feng Bao next to him. This time, it was inspired by the two close servants begging him to see ministers far away, just like watching flowers in the fog. Today, there was such a good opportunity to watch a real excitement, which is better than reading in the study. I was moved by these words, and he just wanted to ask the Queen Mother Ci Sheng Li to give permission.

As for the legitimate mother, Empress Dowager Chen, who is the one who really spoils him, he usually doesn't care about his face. Not to mention promises such small things.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun came today with the simple thinking of the people who are not watching the fun, and with this simple mind of the people. Of course, whether it is the saint of Cixi, Feng Bao, who was late to get the news, or Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, or other important officials such as the Minister of the Pavilion, no one knew that he, the little emperor, was actually watching the fun.

Of course, Wang Fulin didn't know. But because he knew more about the inherent pattern in the court now and in the next few years, he did not have much fear for Emperor Wanli, and he did not have much respect. Now someone is already advocating the revival of Wanli, but does this have a dime to do with the little emperor? It was clearly the result of Zhang Juzheng and a large number of officials' efforts! He really had no good feelings for Wanli. After taking power, the little emperor settled Zhang Juzheng's party, and then broke up with the three major battles of Wanli. He also did not attend court for decades because of the dispute over the foundation of the country. Think about it, it was really useless for so many years of elite education!

Since he was so rebellious, Wang Fulin seemed particularly eye-catching compared to several Kedao censors who were so excited that their faces flushed because of such a close distance. He was the least experienced among all, and he was the youngest, but he looked calm, especially when several Kedao censors began to scold him in turn and almost said that his actions in Liaodong were a disaster to the country and the people. He was just standing there calmly, as if he was very conscious of spitting on his face.

Most of the ministers who can become the first-class minister of the Pavilion, have limited feelings for the censors, unless they are the direct descendants they are looking for, and they are full-time critics instead of themselves. And everyone present today knows that the few who came here today are independent people in the Censorate, that is, they have no party or faction, and are not famous for not being attracted. Therefore, seeing that Wang Fulin is so calm, they have also raised their evaluation of this young Jinshi to a higher level. As for Zhu Yijun, he has never seen the censors criticize people in person, so he doesn't see this. After all, the lively side is really disappointing.

Just as he was a little bored and secretly enduring another yawn, the censors who took turns to fight seemed a little tired and stopped for a while. At this moment, he heard that Wang Fulin, who had no sound after meeting him before, finally spoke.

"After all the censors, I'm finally a little dry? Since that's the case, let's take a break and wait until I finish talking." Seeing someone's sudden change of color, Wang Fulin was about to fight back at once. He was not willing to give someone this opportunity, and suddenly raised his voice. "I just want to ask, who among the few has not been to Liaodong? Who has seen the living conditions of the military and civilians living near the walls of Liaodong? Who has seen other Jurchens besides Wang Gao, who had just been buried before? Since there is no one, I always say goodbye to me. I think that the most important military and national affairs in Liaodong, one of the nine borders in the world, is something you can subjectively guess?"

At that moment, Zhu Yijun, who had already regretted being present today, sat up straight and his eyes widened.

That's right, only when the power is evenly matched can you see it!

ps: I was frozen to death. I turned on the air conditioner at 8 o'clock in the morning. The cushion of the computer chair of my memory foam felt completely frozen. The water vapor on the window glass was frozen. God, Shanghai is minus seven degrees below zero, so I'm eager to keep the cold! (To be continued.)
