"Mr. Wang, you have read Your Majesty's handwriting. Without further ado, please set off soon!"

Zheng Guotai said anxiously, but Wang Tong in front of him was pondering there without saying a word.

Zheng Guotai was just twenty years old, and he was a young man. Because his sister favored the harem, he became one of the most popular nobles in the capital.

His glory and wealth were all in Concubine Zheng, and he became like this in the capital. Zheng Guotai also knew that if the eldest son of the emperor was appointed as the crown prince, his sister would not have any good life next, and naturally he would not have the glory he has today.

Therefore, although there was no order in the palace, Zheng Guotai himself was shameless and visited the Qingliu and the famous people's mansions in the capital.

Now that the trouble has reached such a point, who will care about such a uncle. Not only will he be silly, he will be ridiculed and ridiculed.

When Zheng Guotai was anxious, he was seen by Emperor Wanli. When he entered the palace, he disguised himself as an eunuch and went out of the palace. He went to a shopping mall somewhere in the city, but he entered the inner hall but changed into the costumes of a caravan, but walked out of another courtyard behind him.

He was led out of the city and then got on the horse and left. The people who were guarding them were all dressed up by the people, but Zheng Guotai saw a familiar face and knew it was a man from Dongchang.

The royal relatives, when the eunuchs who were close to each other today, had to dress up like this when they left the city. This attitude made Zheng Guotai even more frightened and even more anxious.

He has also provided wealth and prosperity for many years, but he has been sleeping in the open and rushing on the road. Although it is hard, Zheng Guotai did not complain. He knew that what the situation in the capital is now is, and delaying it may lead to a disaster. And this time he has a chance. Emperor Wanli favors Concubine Zheng, but he doesn't love the house and the country very much. This time he gave Zheng Guotai an errand, which made Zheng Guotai very excited. Seize this opportunity and he will be able to make a fortune in the future.

When he arrived at Guihua City, Zheng Guotai didn't care about the different scenery from the mainland, so he directly came to Wang Tong with Zhao Jinliang. Wang Tong was riding a horse in a farm to check the troops.

Returning to Guihua City that day, Zhao Jinliang read out the handwritten order of Emperor Wanli, and then handed it to Wang Tong. There was also a token of Emperor Wanli, proving that the handwritten order was not a forgery.

But Wang Tong, the commander of the Jinyiwei of Dingbei Hou, did not react immediately, but looked at the hand order and pondered. The situation was urgent and could not be delayed for an hour. Wang Tong did not speak here. Zheng Guotai was observing carefully, but he became anxious unconsciously.

"Officer Zheng, is there any obstacle in your Majesty's safety?"

After Wang Tong asked this question, Zheng Guotai was stunned. Although the capital was in such a state of trouble, Emperor Wanli's safety could be guaranteed, and it was nothing more than having power or not.

Wang Tong's face was as deep as water, holding the handwriting and said, "When this matter is to be done, Wang will immediately become the target of the public criticism of the whole world. I'm afraid he will be put on the fire for the rest of his life."

Zhao Jinliang and Zheng Guotai were speechless. Wang Tong would probably really bear the world's reputation by doing this, and it is hard to say whether it will cause trouble in the future.

Not to mention anything else, why Wang Xijue resigned, is this reason. He destroyed his bones, and the attacks of scholars from all over the world are not a joke.

Wang Tong seemed to hesitate there, and was fighting in his heart. Zheng Guotai became more and more anxious and could not care about anything. He knelt down and cried: "Mr. Wang, if Lord Wang hesitates, His Majesty will be pinned by the inside and outside again. Lord Wang's power position may be unstable. Poor Concubine, poor Concubine, poor Concubine's child who is less than one year old, Lord Wang..."

Before he could finish crying, he saw Wang Tong slap the table suddenly. He heard a loud noise, which scared Zheng Guotai and trembled all over, and put the rest of his words into his stomach.

"Well, Wang received the great kindness of His Majesty. Without His Majesty, there would be no Wang's today. What is the gain or loss of personal power? Xi Liang and Zheng Guanren will rest for a while. Wang will go and prepare now."

Zheng Guotai relaxed all over. Just as he was about to say thank you, he heard Wang Tong shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that after finishing this time, I will retire and return home!"

Wang Tong said this sentence easily, but Zheng Guotai couldn't find any advice for a while. Although he was young, he also had a lot of knowledge about the politics of the court, so I'm afraid it was really as Wang Tong said.

It is really easy to prepare for many horses in Guihua City. That afternoon, Wang Tong settled his family here and led his guards to leave Guihua City. This time, Wang Tong only brought more than a hundred guards, all dressed in a caravan, with three horses alone, and basically not stopping along the way, and quickly followed.

Zhao Jinliang and Zheng Guotai are both pampered people. It has really made them suffer when they keep running along the way, but to this point, they themselves don’t care about complaining.

But what surprised them was that the return journey was much faster than when they came, because when the horses needed to rest and replenish, they could always find a place to rest and replenish, and there was no need to settle down. Moreover, in Datong Town and Shanxi, although Wang Tong and others were disguised, they were not stopped by anyone along the way for inspection or interrogation. There were several people who were obviously not under Wang Tong, but they were very fed along the way...

The first and fifteenth days of each month are dynasties. On this day, officials from the sixth rank and above in the capital met the emperor on the Fengtian Men's side. They all wore court uniforms and bowed according to the rituals, and then dispersed the court. The dynasty meeting did not discuss anything. It was a pure etiquette activity. It was planned that since Emperor Wanli did not attend court in early May, Emperor Wanzai had never appeared in front of his ministers until mid-July.

The establishment of the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo, as the crown prince, is almost certain and can be basically confirmed, although Emperor Wanli did not issue an order or make a clear statement.

This time, the main instigator of Yan C always felt a little awkward between the second half of June and July, because although the general direction of the dictionary remains unchanged, there are always some discordant notes appearing.

For example, people did not focus on establishing a crown prince, but instead insisted on pleading with Empress Dowager Cisheng Li. For example, it was suggested that Huang Yi be divided into Tianjin Wei and serve as a local official, and for example, let Wuqing Hou Li Wenquan take charge of the capital camp again. As long as these matters are established, the empress dowager and ministers are re-established. It is natural to worry about this moment. Besides Li Wenquan and Huang Yi, there are also people who recommend other empress dowagers or Wuqing Housing. This is nonsense. If everyone is benefiting from the Wuqing Housing, then why do you do this? Why do you make wedding clothes for others?

After such trouble, Empress Dowager Cisheng woke up. She was not in a hurry to urge Emperor Wanli to make a decision. It was just looking at the performance of these people outside the palace. If Wu Qinghou and Huang Yi were not recommended to be assigned to the position they should go, the Cining Palace could also wait slowly. In this situation, Zhu Changluo had already connected to the Cining Palace and took the initiative here.

In desperation, the people outside the palace had to change their direction. The proportion of the founding of the crown prince in the memorial changed, and most of them supported the appointments of Wuqing Hou, Huang Yifen and the rest.

Emperor Wanli seemed to have no temper. He started to argue with the court officials on such matters, and he was quite naive. Although he did not attend court, he had a reply to memorials. This was no different from attending court. Are you afraid that you would be able to argue?

After a month of entanglement, the governor of the Beijing Camp and the local officials of Tianjin Guards were not appointed easily. Not only the Empress Dowager and the Marquis of Wuqing wanted it, but the other factions were also envious. This was inevitable that there would be entanglement. In more than a month, there was no result yet.

Many people are unwilling to continue to drag on. The more they struggle, the more variables they are, and Emperor Wanli does this and makes people confused. Until now, Emperor Wanli has not agreed to any of the matters of the appointment of the crown prince and the appointment of officials.

Many people who were in a hurry for a while had lost their enthusiasm and had lost some enthusiasm in the capital, but the memorials of the Censorate, Hanlin Academy, and the six departments, the officials of the department, these low-ranking officials, and the backbone of the Qingliu, never relaxed their memorials.

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet were all standing by, but several of the Six Ministers of the Minister of the Ministry of War had been expressing their attitude. In early July, the Minister of War Zhang Xueyan complained about illness and requested to retire and return home.

The Minister of War Zhang Xueyan has never been involved in the establishment of the crown prince in the six ministries, and has complained about this person in private, saying that he was disturbing the court for his own selfish interests. When this sentence was passed on, Zhang Xueyan began to be besieged. Not to mention the articles and remarks that criticized him, he said that Zhang Xueyan was morally corrupt, and there were countless memorials asking Emperor Wanli to dismiss this person. "Feng-blooded scholars" gathered in front of Zhang Xueyan's mansion and shouted and scolded him. They also posted proclamations on some walls, writing black words, which were mostly verbs.

Not only that, Zhang Xueyan couldn't continue to do any errands in the Ministry of War, and any documentary orders were rejected by the military department. Everyone complained about the violation and was still doing bad things behind their backs.

Zhang Xueyan is an honest person and has a good job of doing things, but intrigue is not a good thing. When she is old and is angry with these people, she is unwilling to stay in the court.

Emperor Wanli failed to retain it several times, so he had to allow it. Under the court, Wang Lin from Yang Wei and his group became the new Minister of War, while Bi Qiang was replaced by the Minister of Revenue. This was also a signal, telling all officials in the court that if anyone stood on the side of the emperor or wanted to stay out of the matter, there would be no way to stay.
