Wanli knew better than anyone else that he really wanted to work hard to govern when he was young, but in the end he became a "lazy emperor" living in seclusion in the deep palace.

Sometimes, he really admired his grandfather, Emperor Shizong.

He is also a "lazy emperor", but the ministers are afraid of Emperor Shizong.

But Wanli, the "lazy emperor", was afraid of the ministers.

Even the minor ministers are afraid of the distant ministers, and as long as they are officials from the outside court, they are afraid. If you say you are not afraid, you may be close ministers.

No matter how helplessly, whether it is the ministers, the minors, or the distant ministers, Wanli can't scold them.

As an emperor, it doesn’t matter if you scold me, as long as you can kill someone.

But if you want to fight or kill, Wanli has never really killed anyone in the past decades of ascending the throne.

He is a kind-hearted emperor.

Wanli never thought he was a fool or a tyrant because he had never executed anyone because of the anger in his heart.

The country is in his hands and governs it much better than his grandfather.

The people have enough food and clothing, and have won many great victories in the foreign war. They have no boundary troubles and no enemy. The number of Dingkou reached the highest level in this dynasty... All of this is not a prosperous world, and what is he or not a wise monarch!

Wanli is a emperor who holds grudges, but he just holds grudges and does not kill people at any time.

Even Gu Xiancheng, who was highly praised by everyone, was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Wanli just drove him out of the court. Knowing that the other party was unwilling to accept it, he made trouble in Nanzhili and used a commoner to control the court. He only did not see any matters in the court.

A while ago, someone borrowed Li Sancai's stealing wood to attack Gu Xiancheng, who was far away in Wuxi. Wanli knew at a glance that this was a party dispute, and some people wanted to use him as the emperor to deal with the Donglin Party.

But, deep down, the emperor didn't want to use this to deal with Gu Xiancheng.

The reason why Wang Xijue could not restore the cabinet back then has always made Wanli feel uneasy, and the initiators were Gu Xiancheng and Li Sancai.

Therefore, if Gu and Li can be cleaned up together, Wanli will be so happy that he can't sleep.

However, in the end he stayed.

Because, he understood that if he really wanted to send those bullets to the ministry to discuss, the final result would be that he would not be able to deal with Gu Xiancheng and instead trap him, the emperor.

For the scholars and officials from other courts, what Gu Xiancheng did was nothing. Some people could question Gu Xiancheng, and some could scold him. But it was a big deal that the emperor wanted to take advantage of this excuse to attack Gu Xiancheng.

Wanli must be abandoned.

Exiting Li Sancai was a success for him, the emperor.

If you really want to attack Gu Xiancheng again, you will have no benefit except causing trouble.

The Donglin Party is now very powerful in the DPRK, and the chief assistant Ye Xianggao is the leader of the party.

Wanli really wanted to beat Gu Xiancheng and kill him, and Ye Xianggao and others would not give up.

At that time, the court will be in chaos, the country will be harmed, and the emperor will be depressed.

The fact that most of the mining tax officials in various places was killed, Wanli could do for these close ministers was just to deal with the matter impartially with the chief minister who threatened his hunger strike.

Wanli didn’t know the disadvantages of party struggles.

However, there is no power to change.

Over the past decades, party struggles have been deeply rooted, but officials must have close parties, and without a party, there will be no unit.

The relationship is intricate, and one moves the whole body; one moves one person and stirs the entire court.

Under this premise, Wanli can only suppress it, but cannot deny Donglin completely.

Otherwise, even if you hide in the palace, you will never have any other stable life.

When the trouble reaches the extreme, the entire outer court will become enemies of him.

And it really suppressed Donglin, and the ones that replaced it were still those who were still the Qingliu.

It’s like pressing a gourd in the water, sinking one end and rising one end.

It’s hard for him to get along with the emperor, so why bother to work hard?

It is good to maintain the current situation. At least no matter how powerful Donglin is, there will always be other parties to restrain it.

Li Sancai's inability to enter the cabinet was a great victory against Donglin to a certain extent.

Wanli is satisfied.

Wei Yangmeng wrote a letter to summon Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing, saying that Gu and others were all great sages. They could use their court to be clear-headed and harmonious.

A joke, a joke.

Wei Yangmeng's mind is still stubborn and follows the crowd.

Who are talking about Gu, Zhao and others being wise ministers? Wanli, as the emperor, knows more than anyone else.

To be honest, Wei Yangmeng is not the Donglin Party, but he is on the side of the Donglin Party.

The man has done practical work in governing the land, but his vision in the court is still a little bit bad and he does not know the harm of party struggles.

The clear-headed people are in the hands of the praises. The black ones are white in their mouths, and the white ones are black in their mouths. They are nepotism and the party is the same to fight against the differences.

If the Donglin Party such as Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing were really summoned to the court, it would be a party that would dominate. Gu Xiancheng and others would completely decide the emperor.

Wanli could not tolerate this happening. He agreed to Li Sancai's entry into the cabinet because of Ye Xianggao's forced force, and he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Now that Li Sancai has finally obtained the crime, how can he not take advantage of it?

He stopped Li Sancai and told the outside dynasty that I was not blind, not deaf, not just ignored anything.

If the cabinet had not wanted Ye Xianggao to maintain it, no one could replace Ye Xianggao in front of him, and he was still responsible, so he would have made some moves in the court. Otherwise, Wanli would have replaced Ye Xianggao as the sole assistant.

Wei Yangmeng's memorials were just like the ones just now, and were all sealed by Wanli.

He would not comment on Wei Yangmeng a single word, nor would he send this memorial out.

Sitting there, my heart sighed.

He is old and can suppress the party struggles in the court when he is alive, but after he dies, how can his successor face the situation where the court is full of party.

Thinking of his fat eldest son, Wanli couldn't help but feel anxious.

If Changsun had not been smart and intelligent, this was really indefinitely abolished.

The eldest son can be said to be born by Donglin. It is not difficult to predict that after the eldest son succeeds to the throne in the future, Donglin will inevitably have greater power.

With the character of the eldest son, Wanli sadly believed that the eldest son was likely to become a "puppet" of Donglin.

By then, no one can balance Donglin. If Donglin, who has completely mastered the new king, is not doing well, all the officials in the court who are hostile to them will be dismissed.

However, no matter how sad or worried he is, he cannot change the fact that his eldest son Zhu Changluo is his successor.

Wanli, there is no longer another dispute over the foundation of the country.

Sigh, there is no minister who entrusts an orphan.

Ministers, minor ministers, distant ministers, and close ministers, who can assist me in the new king?

Wanli is not a superstitious person. If a person dies, his life will be born from heaven and his life will not be controlled by himself. Even if the emperor is the emperor, he will accept death calmly.

Otherwise, he would not have built his own birthday palace early.

Or, after I die, let him flood?

People die like ashes, and future generations will decide their affairs. I have several thoughts.

Wanli smiled bitterly, looked up and saw that it was getting late, so he prepared to go to the imperial concubine.

However, the eunuch sent another memorial, saying that it had just received it from Huijimen.

The memorials handed over by Huijimen were submitted by local mining supervisors, tax envoys and eunuchs. Wanli always collected and read them immediately.

"Who handed it?" Wanli signaled the eunuch to submit the memorial.

"Return to the emperor, Wei Liangchen, the chief minister of the inner rank." The eunuch respectfully presented the memorial.

"What question book did he give me?" Wanli was curious and took it and saw that the cover of the question was "Ask the Emperor to read the memorial of the Ming Dynasty Navy."

Ming Navy?
