"I'll leave now..." Li Shenming stood up and wanted to go. When he arrived at the door, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "My mind is getting worse every day... This time I come here, there is another important news to tell you. I want to read a book."

"Brother Zunlu, please tell me."

"There is a huge bandit that has crossed the inner wall and crossed the Taihang Mountains. The whereabouts are still unknown. The route they passed by has no garrisons or garrisons. The border counties along the border have been martial law. Now it seems that Lingqiu, Guangchang, Weizhou, and these places may be attacked. Governor Wen, Zheng Bingbei and General Ma are all paying attention to this bandit, and the Ministry of War also ordered the local area to suppress it."

Sun Jingting was a little surprised and said, "Is there such a giant bandit now?"

"It's not just this one." After all, Li Shenming had much more information. He lowered his voice and whispered: "After the three routes of Liaodong collapsed, there were riots everywhere who brought bandits to cause trouble. Henan's minister Zhang Woxu, Taoist minister Wang Jingtifu's model soldiers fought with bandits in Mengjin, and killed more than 20 levels. He heard from the Feijie. With a letter from Henan, the defeated soldiers dared not enter Tongguan again, nor did they dare to return to the army, so they had to fall into the army. The combat power of the border troops was far greater than that of ordinary bandits, Huozhou, Shanxian, Hanyin, and Xixiang.

There are reports of thieves fighting with officers and soldiers, killing more or less, at least ten levels, and at least six or seven levels. This shows that the officers and soldiers have no good way to deal with these giant bandits of the border. Most of them are in the mountains, or they are broken into pieces, and they are scattered into trouble. Lingqiu is the largest. What’s important is that many Liaodong border troops under Yu Shiqian’s subordinates ran out. Once his strength is stronger, his ambition will increase greatly. The superiors judge that this bandit may be thinking of breaking the prefectures and counties!”

Zhang Han said: "Attacking the state and destroying the palace, aren't they seeking death?"

Zhang Han read the novel Li Zicheng, and remembered that after leaving Shangluo Mountain, Li Zicheng adopted a low-key approach, taking advantage of the lack of control over local areas in the Ming Dynasty, he destroyed villages and accumulated grain and trained people everywhere. After his strength expanded to a certain level, he decisively broke Luoyang, and his momentum suddenly increased.

This Yu Shiqian may have only a few thousand subordinates, but he actually wanted to attack prefectures and counties.

"Since they have already fallen into the grass, they are of course thinking about making the momentum bigger. If they can break the prefectures and counties, there will be many people who are ambitious to rebel and join their subordinates, and their power will grow like a snowball. It is unknown if the disaster in Shanxi Province will be in trouble."

Zhang Han nodded. Sure enough, the ancients' way of thinking could not be used as reasoning with modern people. Thinking about the fact that there are still ambitious people who want to be emperors hundreds of years later, I am afraid that there are many people who are nervous these days. If Yu Shiqian could conquer a certain prefecture and county, there might be many people who think about being the "members of the dragon".

"Lingqiu..." Zhang Han looked solemn. Li Dayong and the others might not know that what they were worried about might soon become reality.

...

"Horse-hoof gold, please take it to me..." On the deep and wide bed, Emperor Wanli, who was lying on his fat body, was still struggling to see his burial objects.

In the deep palaces, countless people and eunuchs were panicked. The outside court still didn't know the news, and everything was calm. After the forty-eight years of entering Wanli, the old emperor's body became worse day by day. After summer, the Wanli emperor's body became worse day by day.

The imperial doctors naturally had to treat them with all their heart, but the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital worshipped by the Ming Dynasty were really limited in their ability, and they were even far less than those of the folk doctors. The so-called tea soup in Guanglu Temple, swords and guns of the Arsenal Department, and prescriptions of the Imperial Hospital are one of the widely circulated jokes in the capital.

The average lifespan of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty was really not high. In addition to Taizu and Taizong, Renzong passed away in middle age, and Xuanzong only lived to be in his thirties. Yingzong Xiaozong and Wuzong did not live past forty years. Jiajing lived to be sixty years old. His son was a short-lived ghost. By the time Wanli was able to reign for forty years, it had broken the previous record of the reign of all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and was able to rank first in history.

The golden horse hoof gold was presented to the dying emperor. Wanli looked with pleasure. There were a large amount of gold objects in his burial objects, and the horse hoof gold was only a small part.

The eunuch at the palace knelt down in front of Wanli's couch, carefully reporting on the other funeral objects.

The two queens had long been placed in the underground palace, and the coffin was slightly smaller. Emperor Wanli's coffin was placed in the middle, which was also the largest one.

Many exquisite gold and silver ware, as well as horseshoe gold and jewelry, will be buried in the coffin.

The soldiers and horses had already stationed guards along the Imperial Road to the underground palace. After Wanli Longzhu Guest, the underground palace was opened, the emperor's coffin was sent in, and then closed.

Wanli listened carefully, saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth. He reluctantly said, "Be careful that the stone on the door is not right..."

The underground palace in Wanli began to be built at around twenty years. It has been renovated for decades. All the senior officials of the past served as the official of the tomb repair. The underground palace is a major project, and tens of thousands of people have been working on it for a long time. By the 48th year of Wanli, this underground palace had been built for many years. It was extremely large in scale and was very rich in burial objects. Wanli himself also knew in his heart that all dynasties had been destroyed since ancient times. As long as the Ming Dynasty was still there, his imperial tombs would be fine. If the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, most of the imperial tombs of all dynasties were stolen. His underground palace was extremely strong to prevent theft. Before he passed away, the heavy stone door of the underground palace would not be closed. After his death, the craftsmen would put down the stone stone inside the stone gate, and the stone door weighing ten thousand pounds would be closed from the inside. The underground palace gate would never be opened with external force.

"Don't worry, my elders," said the inner supervisor Xiaoyi: "I am very nervous about this matter, and there will be no accidents."

"Well..." Wanli glanced at the inner supervisor, and saw that the other party's face was full of loyalty, so he felt a little relieved.

The inner supervisor only felt sweating on his back. Wanli had been dying and healing. If he seemed a little lazy at this time and the emperor recovered, his fate would be extremely miserable.

At this time, another internal supervisor came over quietly and lowered his head and said, "Old Master, I'm ordered to call me here."

The so-called young master is the crown prince of the current dynasty, which is a unique title in the palace. In fact, the crown prince is already very old and is an absolute middle-aged man.

"The child bowed to the father."

The prince, wearing a Yuan-green costume, approached and knelt down and kowtowed.

Crown Prince Zhu Changluo is a middle-aged man with a yellow face. His beard is sparse and his face is very nervous, which makes people feel very upset. It feels a bit difficult to kneel down and bow.

Due to long-term mental tension and depression, the prince's health has never been very good.

It was still in the early years of Wanli that because of his favor, Concubine Zheng, Wanli recommended that he love King Fu and wanted to abolish the crown prince and become King Fu.

Such things were easy to accomplish in the Yuan Dynasty, and there were also precedents in the Tang Dynasty. However, it was difficult for the Han Dynasty to change its throne since the Song Dynasty. Although Wanli was the emperor, he had to be controlled by the ancestors' achievements. After repeated battles with the civil servant group, the three words "deposed prince" did not dare to say them openly, but just kept making small moves.

For example, if you deduct the treatment of the prince and do not use it to study outside the cabinet, you may also make the "three kings together"? It means that you intend to place the prince Changluo and the prince Fu and other princes in equal positions, so that the prince's status will not be elevated.

Later, several generations of auxiliary ministers and countless civil servants continued to use the position of the legitimate crown prince to fight for power with the emperor. Wanli was eventually defeated, which made him feel discouraged. The emperor who once wanted to work hard to govern the country from then on, and never left the palace for twenty years.

This is a well-known history. Zhu Changluo was not only mentally suppressed, but also in the famous "Strike Case", the common people Zhang Cha walked into the deep palace inexplicably. It was only a few dozen steps away from Zhu Changluo. He attacked several eunuchs guarding the gate until they were taken down by everyone.

During the interrogation, Zhang Cha confessed that he asked him to beat a bearded in a yellow robe and beard. The officials who interrogated him looked at each other in an uproar. Many civil officials, including the Donglin Party, jumped and refused to let go and asked for a thorough investigation. Wanli was extremely embarrassed. Later, Wanli brought Zhu Changluo, the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren staged a happy show. The crown prince came forward to suppress the matter and finally concluded.

After twenty years of ups and downs, the prince Zhu Changluo was truly walking on thin ice.

At this time, the father and son were facing each other, Wanli was as angry as a wandering thread, and Zhu Changluo was also listless. The two looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wanli felt a thousand words pouring in his heart, and there were some words to say to the prince. At this time, he didn't care about the embarrassment and said to the prince: "I know that the Donglin Party has always been close to my son. After you ascend the throne, you should not trust his party alone, and you should not let the party dominate. Such scholars like to make big statements, but they cannot trust them."

Zhu Changluo knelt on the ground, feeling a burst of fatigue on his body. Recently, Wanli's life was in an instant. Zhu Changluo felt the sword hanging on his head removed. After he felt relaxed, he was happy every night, and even had to change several people in one night. In the past, there were no beautiful women in his Eastern Palace. Recently, many internal prisoners deliberately sent some beautiful people to the Eastern Palace in order to please the prince. Even Concubine Zheng showed goodwill to the prince and gave eight beauties to the prince, all of which were first-class and stunning.

Zhu Changluo was suppressed on this for too long. He broke all the eight beauties in one day. He was in a very happy mood, but although he was in a good mood, his health was very bad. At this time, he wanted to go to bed and rest quickly. He had no time to listen to the dying father's nagging words.

Besides, Zhu Changluo knew in his heart that if he could keep his reserve position, the important thing was that the civil servants of the Donglin Party always supported him. Otherwise, the throne would be the King of Fortune, and he would not have the share of his father and son!

At that moment, he just replied indifferently: "What the Father said is that the sons must obey."

Wanli sighed and then said, "You should observe your actions when using people, and don't listen to them. Those civil officials seem to be familiar with all major military and political affairs, but they are very good at doing things. However, doing things is a mess. Therefore, using people depends on their resumes and whether they do things well in the local area, and then they can only be punished for major things. It is not very important to use the wrong person in the center. Local boundaries must be bound by experienced ones..."

Speaking of this, Wanli seemed to look back and sat upright, holding a tone and said, "I used the wrong Yang Hao before, because of the mistakes of Fang Congzhe and others. Yang Hao had been in the border for a long time, but it was useless. This person must be more important!"
