Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 68 Wanli summons (please read)

The battle between the three parties of "Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang" and the Donglin Party lasted for a whole day. It seemed to have a result, but it seemed that there was no clear winner.

Because they discovered that the final decision-making power was actually in the hands of Emperor Wanli.

Soon the eunuch Chang Yun brought back the news from the Ministry of War.

Wanli promoted the Donglin Party this time just to use the Donglin Party to check and balance the three lower parties. After all, he did not want to see an unprecedented victory in Liaodong.

With their mutual checks and balances, it was easier for Wanli to see the truth of the matter.

To be honest, he didn't really want to re-employ the Donglin Party, but there were some dirty things that he, the emperor, couldn't do by himself.

Let the Donglin Party do some dirty work for him, but he just uses them as chamber pots for excrement and urine.

Sure enough, after the Donglin Party made such a fuss, his goal was basically achieved.

That is to say, he squeezed out the water in military achievements and won Yang Hao, whom he was not very satisfied with.

The most important thing is that I don't need to come forward to argue with these civil servants repeatedly, I only need to hide behind the scenes and be the one who makes the final decision.

The battle between Fang Congzhe and the Donglin Party did not exceed Wanli's expectations.

I still have some impressions of Xiong Tingbi Wanli. It was this person who initially impeached Li Chengliang for abandoning the border areas, and wrote a letter to appease the border people in Liao, plant corn, and use Liao to support Liao.

He dared to write a letter to impeach Li Chengliang and other senior officials in Liaodong, which shows his courage.

Xiong Tingbi has stayed in Liaodong, and it is important to understand the situation there very well.

In addition, his idea of ​​"supporting the Liao with the Liao" is more in line with the current economic situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Last year's "Liao rates" have been levied, with an additional tax of 3 cents per mu of land, resulting in a total of more than two million taels of tax.

But with these 200 million taels of silver thrown at him, Yang Hao actually ended the war like this?

Nowadays, the pensions for tens of thousands of fallen soldiers and the silver rewards for meritorious soldiers are another huge expense.

Although Wanli never specifically asked about these trivial matters and left them to the cabinet for handling, it did not mean that he did not have a clear account in his mind.

If we want to launch another large-scale conquest to establish a state, at least we have to wait until this year's "Liao rates" are collected.

At this time, he needed someone who could stabilize the situation to serve as Liaodong manager. It was obvious that Yang Hao was not qualified, which was why Wanli replaced him.

He didn't have much impression of Yuan Yingtai.

However, since he stayed in the Ministry of War, he still knew something about military affairs. The governor of Liaodong not only had to know about government affairs, but more importantly, he had to know about military affairs.

Since the Liaodong Economic Strategy used people recommended by Fang Congzhe, the Liaodong Governor must not use their people anymore.

But he was the emperor, and the emperor was not limited to the multiple-choice questions given by the cabinet, so he did not use any of the candidates they proposed for governor of Liaodong.

Soon he gave instructions to the cabinet: Xiong Tingbi was appointed as the Liaodong manager and the right minister of the Ministry of War; Yuan Yingtai, the former right minister of the Ministry of War, was appointed governor of Liaodong, and Yan Mingtai, the former supervisor of the South Road Army, was promoted to supervisor of the Liaodong army.

He was still a little curious about Li Xianzhong. In terms of military exploits, with the beheadings he had achieved and the number of enemy chiefs he had killed, there was no problem in being promoted to a general officer.

However, Li Rubai has been promoted to deputy economic envoy of Liaodong. Although he does not have much real power, Li Xianzhong already has a lot of power to unify the original route. Kaiyuan is an Arima city, connecting the trade between Mongolia and Yehe.

It is not a good thing for young people to go too smoothly, so he also agreed with Liu Yijing and others' opinions and refused to be promoted to chief military officer for the time being.

To be honest, he saw the shadow of Li Chengliang in this young man. Li Chengliang also gradually built Liaodong into the Li family's Liaodong through continuous military exploits.

He was still very afraid of this.

At the same time, he was very curious about Li Xianzhong's true identity. He was just an adopted son of the Li family, but now he has almost become the spokesperson of the Li family in Liaodong.The identity of Li Xianzhong may not be that simple.

So he asked the eunuch Chang Yun: "Last time I asked you to investigate Li Xianzhong's identity, you have some clues!"

Chang Yun said: "For the record, Your Majesty, Li Xianzhong is an orphan. He was adopted as an adopted son by Li Rubai about seven years ago. The slaves and slaves cannot find any information about his previous life experience."

"But Li Rubai is really unusual about Li Xianzhong. He almost treats him as his own son. The entire Li family has always treated him as the son of the Li family and called him 'young general'."

"His appearance is quite similar to Li Rubai. There have been rumors that Li Xianzhong is actually Li Rubai's illegitimate son."

Wanli is now a little envious of Li Rubai. He can train an illegitimate child with no identity as the successor of the Li family.

Although he is the emperor, he cannot make his favorite son the prince.

Now it has been five years since King Fu Zhu Changxun went to Luoyang to join the feudal clan. Although as a father, he has given King Fu the best treatment within his ability.

Including spending 28 taels to build the Luoyang vassal residence for him, the regulations are ten times more than those of ordinary vassal kings.

A full 2 hectares of farmland must be fertile land. If the entire Henan Province is not enough, it will be supplemented from Huguang and Shandong.

It also includes a series of various incomes such as salt introduction.

However, in Wanli's view, none of these could make up for King Fu's regret that he could not inherit the Ming Dynasty.

So he hated the group of civil servants who obstructed him, and started to completely ruin it.

Perhaps Emperor Wanli himself did not expect that this "country-based dispute" did not end because the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo was named the prince in the 29th year of Wanli (1601); nor did it end because King Fu established vassalage in Luoyang in the 42nd year of Wanli.

Its influence directly extended to the Nanming Dynasty in 1645. At that time, the Donglin Party members had blocked the succession of the first generation Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, and were worried about the revenge of the second generation Fu Wang Zhu Yousong, so they tried their best to prevent the second generation Fu Wang Zhu Yousong from ascending the throne. The "Fu-Lu Controversy" occurred again in Nanming.

Then Wanli asked again: "What happened to Li Xianzhong in the capital?"

Chang Yun said: "Recently, a big event happened in Mianyue Tower in the capital. Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, fought with a mysterious young man for an East Pearl, and it seemed that he suffered a loss. In the end, under the mediation of Zheng Yangxing, the two parties finally resolved After shaking hands and making peace, Duke Cheng Guo was able to buy the top-quality Eastern Pearl for 1 taels of silver."

"After this incident, Li Xianzhong often appeared in the honor circle in the capital with Cheng Guogong and Zheng Yangxing, so I guess this mysterious young master should be Li Xianzhong."

Wanli asked: "Has Dongzhu become popular again in the capital recently?"

Chang Yun said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, since this incident happened, the Dongzhu business of Cheng Guogong's Jubaozhai has suddenly become prosperous. Now the ladies in the capital are proud to own the best Dongzhu, and even pearl jewelry. It’s become more popular, and prices have skyrocketed.”

Wanli was still wondering why Concubine Zheng suddenly had a whim in the afternoon and asked him to reward her with Dongzhu. He was probably also affected.

This is really a good trick for Cheng Guogong and Li Xianzhong.

Since Jianlu invaded the border, even the royal family could not get tribute from Dongzhu, so they actually started trading Dongzhu.

This made Wanli, who always loved money as much as his life, a little envious.

He said to Chang Yun: "Go and make arrangements. I will summon Kaiyuan Deputy General Li Xianzhong at Qianqing Palace tomorrow morning."

Chang Yun couldn't believe his ears. The emperor didn't even summon the newly appointed Liaodong manager Xiong Tingbi, but actually summoned Li Xianzhong alone. Even the first assistant Fang Congzhe was summoned alone only a handful of times.

So he respectfully replied: "I will obey the emperor's order."
