At the same time, some people said that Wang Shizhen, the official minister, was ill, and asked Wang Tianguan to resign and the court to replace the official official minister.
These scenes can't help but make many court officials sigh. For some reason, the court has become very lively at the end of the year in recent years, and it seems that year-end brawls have become a repertoire.
Although it is not as exciting as the replacement of three cabinet ministers at the same time last year, the fight over a minister is still interesting to watch, not to mention that this is the outpost battle for the Beijing-Chamberlain next year.
Regarding these memorials, Emperor Wanli could not come up with any specific opinions, so he kept them inactive for the time being and continued to wait and see.
In fact, Emperor Wanli's attitude was usually relatively mild as long as his ministers did not make trouble with the country or criticize the emperor.
Later, many ministers regarded this kind of stay in China as "encouragement", which triggered a new round of separation.
In this round of Shang Shuli, they not only discussed Wang Tianguan's own problems, but also began to give advice on the candidate for the next Minister of Civil Affairs.
At this time, there was another prominent voice in the court, which was to request the emperor Qian Gang to make an exception and move Sun Piyang, the censor of Zuodu, to be the official of the Ministry of Personnel.
It must be said that this request actually made Emperor Wanli very excited, and successfully attracted the emperor's attention.
Whenever possible, the emperor would of course prefer to appoint ministers by internal decree to demonstrate the absolute authority of the monarch.
However, due to various restrictions in the political environment, this idea is often difficult to implement.
For example, after the appointment, there was often strong opposition from ministers from other dynasties. Although it could be forcibly suppressed by using the monarch's power, the process would also be too troublesome, making the emperor feel that it was not worthwhile.
In other words, there is no minister now worthy of the emperor's support at all costs.
Therefore, if you want to truly achieve the state of "Qian Gang Dictatorship", it is a great test of the emperor's political skills. Emperor Jiajing had this ability, but it was also the centralization of power that was slowly achieved through more than ten years of ceremonial discussions.
Emperor Wanli obviously did not have this level of political power, nor did he have the patience to make plans for more than ten consecutive years.
All of Emperor Wanli's talents in terms of patience were probably focused on "anger".
Although Emperor Wanli admired his grandfather Jiajing very much, the difference between him and his grandfather may be that Emperor Jiajing could insist on maintaining a single idea for ten or twenty years of operation, and finally achieved the results he wanted.
However, Emperor Wanli would only continue to be angry for ten or twenty years, and would suffer from intermittent convulsions while being incompetent and furious.
In Lin Tailai's eyes, he is a good person and loves to play, but he often cannot afford to play.
Historically, Emperor Wanli was just making trouble for his country at first, and then he took the opportunity to be angry and refused to go to court. He couldn't afford to play anymore.
After more than ten years of turmoil and being forced to have the eldest son, the ministers thought that the emperor could calm down, but the results began to go beyond imagination and become even worse.
Unexpectedly, he was able to retain the appointment of officials for more than ten years in a row. More than half of the official posts in the dynasty were often lacking, and there was often only one person in the cabinet to handle affairs, which brought the court to the verge of paralysis at every turn.
In fact, this caused great damage to the system, seriously shaking the prestige and operating mechanism of the Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps Emperor Wanli could be cleansed in many aspects, but in terms of destroying the system, he really couldn't be cleansed.
It can be said that the "sacredness" of the Ming Dynasty's imperial power was destroyed by Jiajing and Wanli in different ways.
Having said that, Emperor Wanli was originally not very interested in the "dog eat dog" policy in foreign dynasties this time, but when there were voices asking for "Qian Gang's dictatorship", it aroused Emperor Wanli's strong interest.
I even think a little too much - is this a good sign? Is this a political hint that some ministers are thinking of "taking refuge" in themselves?
Can we use this as an opportunity to get the ministers accustomed to being arbitrary?
If the ministers are accustomed to being arbitrary in their decisions, will the emperor be able to make decisions with just one word when talking about the foundation of the country in the future?
When thinking of this, Emperor Wanli decided to take a more active stance and intervene in the dispute between the officials and ministers.
