Recently, the Zhejiang Party has become less powerful and cannot protect Yang Hao. The Donglin Party has no good feelings for Yang Hao. Zhu Changluo often hears people saying bad things about Yang Hao in the East Palace, and immediately responds: "What the father said is that the son minister must take more Yang Hao."

"Xiong Tingbi will never change!"

"What?"

Wanli shouted: "Recently, Xiong Tingbi's everything he traveled to Liaodong is very appropriate and steady. He seems to have done nothing, but in fact he has forced the Donglu to invade the situation again. I watched him act clearly and the arrangements of the three parties were very precise. This person is right. You have to use him to the end until the Liao incident is over."

Zhu Changluo did not have a deep understanding of Xiong Tingbi, nor did he feel disgusted. He immediately said, "My son knows."

"I have been slacking off in the country's affairs in recent years, so you should not do this."

"Yes, Father."

"Fang Congzhe can still be the chief assistant, and this person is still reliable."

"My son knows."

Zhu Changluo was greatly influenced by the radicals of the Donglin Party. In the 46th year of Wanli, the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang liquidated Donglin, opening the curtain of party struggles. Fang Congzhe's ability to coordinate the various parties was completely destroyed. The moderates of the Donglin Party also maintained a cooperative relationship with Fang Congzhe. The radicals had decided to go to Fang. Recently, Zhu Changluo often heard the other party's dissatisfaction. He was a person with weak ears, and Donglin had great kindness with him, so he had decided to change the chief minister and replace the Donglin Party with the people to succeed him. At this time, he was obviously perfunctory about Wanli.

Wanli didn't hear it, and Zhu Changluo was still very respectful and followed his instructions in everything. Wanli felt relieved.

He looked at Zhu Changluo and murmured, "I am your father and the emperor. Some things are not done well. However, after all, I have passed on the family business of the ancestors to you intact. Now the world is peaceful and the country is peaceful. Only the Liao affairs will be worried for a while, but there is no big problem. The Eastern Captains only have tens of thousands of people. As long as the people are properly employed, the Liao affairs will only be pacified for a few years. The important thing is to cultivate the politics and replenish the national treasury. The Liao funds will be cancelled after the Liao affairs are pacified, leaving them alone to disturb the people's livelihood..."

Zhu Changluo cried and said, "Father, he will still take care of his body, his health is important."

Wanli said: "I will go on a great journey, and there are many days to rest... I went underground to see my ancestors and ancestors, and I, the emperor, have been through..."

In Wanli's eyes, although his forty-eight years of emperorship was flawed and criticized, he was generally successful. There were the glory of the three major battles of Wanli, the fact that the people had nothing to do, the fact that Jiangnan was becoming increasingly prosperous, and the abundant treasury brought by the Qingzhang and the Whip Law around the tenth year of Wanli, and the fullness of civil and military achievements, both of which were commendable. Now the world is peaceful, there are wise ministers in the dynasty and good generals in the dynasty. Except for the small regret that the Liao affairs have never been pacified, there is nothing to worry about when they let go.

Finally, Wanli waved tiredly, Zhu Changluo stood up to say goodbye, and Wanli suddenly said, "Crown Prince..."

Zhu Changluo was slightly shocked and said, "What else does Father have to give?"

Wanli said: "If I really can't afford it, you can send the treasury to Liaodong. My treasury still has millions of silver, which is enough to support the pacification of the Liao affairs."

Zhu Changluo knew that the old man might not tell the truth. Wanli had the character factor accumulated by his grandfather Li Wei's businessman in a greedy manner. He didn't know how much wealth he had accumulated over the past few decades. He actually had no interest in these things. The emperor was powerful and the emperor was in the world. Why should he accumulate those useless things with the emperor's honor?

At that moment, only comforted Wanli and said, "The country still has wealth, and the ministers only like to cry for poverty without any trouble. Why is this?"

Wanli comforted her heart and nodded slightly. This time she lay down but stopped talking.

...

"The emperor passed away?"

On the way back to Lizhuang from Lingqiu, Zhang Han received this somewhat unexpected and expected news.

Wang Faxiang had long been spreading back news, and Emperor Wanli was getting worse day by day. In addition, Zhang Han himself also remembered that the Wanli Bing Kingdom had only been forty years, but not fifty years. There were only a handful of emperors who had been in the country for more than fifty years, and there were two in the Qing Dynasty, and there were not one in the Ming Dynasty. This news was not surprising.

Zhang Han was quite calm, and the people around him were inevitably panicked, including Sun Jingting.

Everyone is used to the word "Wanli". Many people, including Sun Anle, grew up during the Wanli period. People like Sun Jingting and Liang Xing all knew that Wanli was the country when they were sensible. Now they have grown up, and the word "Wanli" has penetrated into their hearts. When they heard that the emperor had passed away, even people like Yang Qiu, who had always had a gloomy face, had a slightly red eye.

Only then did Zhang Han realize that the so-called "king and father" were not two ordinary words in ancient times.

It started to rain at this time, and it hit everyone's body with crackling sounds. A rain curtain formed in front of him, and everyone's vision became blurred. Jiang Kui hurriedly took out the oil clothes and helped Zhang Han put on his clothes. Zhang Han's face was dripping with a lot of rain. While smearing the water on his face, he said to everyone: "Li Zunlu probably came to the capital after a while. The new king ascended the throne. I'm afraid it will be a mess for a while. I don't know if he can get things done smoothly."

Yang Qiu said in the back: "Wang Faxiang's letter said that he would follow Mr. Li, and he would run with him in everything. This person is very capable. With his help, things should go smoothly."

Sun Jingting said worriedly: "I hope this will happen. If the new king ascends the throne, there will be many variables. At this time, I am afraid that ordinary yamen will not change their courses and make everything safe."

Zhang Han was also a little worried about this, but since he had entrusted the matter to others, he would have to trust everything. He whipped the horse and said, "This rain is really the right time, but it probably won't be too heavy. Just like Emperor Wanli, it's just this light rain after all. We should look forward to everything."

...

As time goes by, the weather on the grassland has been colder day by day, and this year is another cold winter.

The cold wind continued overnight. When Zhang Ziming walked out of his courtyard, he found that many people had frozen to death in Bansheng City.

Some of the bodies were bankrupt Han merchants or Han slaves, and some were Mongolians wearing Mongolian fur coats. They were either bankrupt or old. At the beginning of the cold winter when the cold air was approaching, these people, whether they were Mongolian or Han people, were silently frozen to death on the streets of Qingcheng.

Some people pushed the cart under the order of the Khan Ting to send officials, carried the bodies one by one onto the cart, and then pushed them out of the city and threw them into the mass grave.

After breakfast, Zhang Ziming came to the city's business with his son.

There has been almost no business recently. The battle between the Fan family and He Yusheng has been spent for a long time. It has been spent on this endless business war for several months. The Fan family kept dumping and He Yusheng kept buying in large quantities. A considerable amount of goods were bought by He Yusheng and his Han merchants shortly after they arrived in Qingcheng. They were unable to get to the hands of the herdsmen and were then transported away urgently.

When he arrived at his own business, Zhang Ziming found that a large convoy was waiting in front of the door.

Zhang Ziming is also one of the Han merchants who cooperated with He Yusheng, and his shops and courtyards are also full of goods.

The goods from the stores in the city that cooperated with the Fan family were not as good as He Yusheng's branches in Qingcheng and Zhang Ziming and others. In addition to directly supplying a few Taiji goods, most of the goods were digested by He Yusheng, Zhang Ziming and others.

Of course, the Fan family also knew about this situation, but as long as their business opened a store and did business, it would be impossible to stop this. For Zhang Ziming and others, if they were turned away, it would be easy to hire people to take turns to fry goods... it just didn't have to be so troublesome.

"Teacher Sun, is it you who ran this time?"

"Yeah, where."

Zhang Ziming greeted the head of the team's escort team. The other party was very kind, with a dark face, and a simple person, but he talked too little.

Sun Yao killed the belt around his waist, urging the people he brought to cooperate with Zhang Ziming's businessmen to quickly carry the goods hoarded in the goods and the rooms onto the vehicle and take them back from the convoy as they were on the same route.

Such escort tasks are very complicated. In order not to affect the normal operation of the account, the archers began to be sent to perform such escort tasks in turn.

Sun Yao was originally an escort, and he was very familiar with the matter of escorting the convoy. Many of his subordinates were novices. When they first arrived at the grassland, they shouted excitedly. After running a few times, they became familiar with each other.

"Captain Sun," Zhang Ziming noticed some blood and damage on the body of the car. He said in surprise: "Isn't the road peaceful?"

Sun Yao said with a calm face: "I met a group of horse thieves... There were not many people, only about twenty people. I asked us to kill five of them, and the rest ran away."

There are many horse thieves on the grassland, mainly because there are very large numbers of bankrupt herdsmen and Han people in the border counties. The weak starve to death or freeze to death, and the strong will inevitably go to business without capital. When a small caravan encounters a small group of caravans, they are unlucky.

"The horse thief meets you, but they are really unlucky." Zhang Ziming said sincerely, looking at the shocking blood and the damaged part of the car body.

Sun Yao nodded proudly, and the group of archers behind him grinned.

This convoy has more than 30 large trucks, which can carry about 100,000 kilograms of grain and a large amount of groceries. After gathering from Xinpingbao, they rushed directly from the grassland to Qingcheng.

The light chariot started, and the archer guard sent a team of people. In fact, it was enough to send a small team of guards at normal scale. More than a dozen fully armed experienced studs, killing about ten times of horse thieves... There are indeed examples. The convoy discovered the enemy situation early, and then set up a car formation early. The horse thieves were killed by bird guns, and more than a dozen guns blocked nearly a hundred horse thieves, which was almost the same as Zhang Han's first practical experience on the grassland... After several times of this happened, whether small or large horse thieves, when they met the convoys of Xinpingbao and Yu's flag-raising, they almost ran away, and no one came to make fun of them.
