Chapter 616

Concubine Zheng had already returned to her usual residence. When she came out early in the morning, Emperor Wanli made her wait for a while, and let her go back after the corpses in the yard were moved, but Concubine Zheng's expression was still very bad.

Not to mention that it was impossible to fall asleep last night, the screams, the screams, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood can make a young woman who has never seen anything before have nightmares all day long. On the one hand, cleaning the blood in the courtyard is one thing, but also cleaning the vomit of the maids and eunuchs, and even timid palace ladies lost control, and not one or two fainted. Concubine Zheng just had a bad face, which is already remarkable.

Even when Zhang Cheng went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he praised Feng Bao, Zhang Jing and others, saying that Concubine Zheng Gui is calm and composed, and she really has the demeanor of a heavenly family.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lord Long Live rolled up his sleeves, took a spoonful of soup in the soup basin, tore a piece of bread, and is eating with those soldiers!!"

A little court lady trotted up to Concubine Zheng, and she reported in astonishment that she was indeed surprised, Emperor Wanli was very particular about food, and apart from the fact that the imperial cook had to be refurbished, Concubine Zheng also hired a cook in the city alone. A small kitchen was installed to flatter the emperor's appetite.

The soup pot is filled with mutton bones and mutton, and the noodle cakes are just hard noodle cakes. The few dishes are very simple. The onion and garlic are chopped and seasoned with salt and soy sauce, and the pickles made by the palace are added. These things are a little bit high-grade Even the eunuchs and maids in court would not touch it, but Emperor Wanli enjoyed it very much.

"You child, who told you to read these, and don't call the people in there soldiers, call them generals..."

"Your Majesty, the servant girl knows that the one with the highest rank is a Qianhu, and adding a title is just a command and acquaintance, how can he be called a general!"

The little maid asked naively, except for the two generations of Jianguo and Jingnan in the Ming Dynasty, it is extremely difficult for warriors to increase the rank of generals, and there are only four generals who can be called generals in the Nine Frontiers. Difficult, the mood is very good, smiled and blamed:

"What do you know, they will belong to the general in the future!!"

**************
"Your Majesty, you eat delicacies from mountains and seas all day long, how can this meal still taste so delicious!?"

Li Hutou is the only one who can call the word "emperor" so disrespectful. The emperor he said sounds no different from "big brother". By name, Emperor Wanli really ate this set, took a sip of soup and sent the cake in his mouth down, and said with a smile:

"I was awake all night last night. I hurried to court this morning and didn't even bother to eat. When I smelled the smell of this mutton soup, I was hungry. When I was in the martial arts school, Wang Tong was right. I was hungry. Everything smells good."

Everyone laughed, Li Bao's death in battle made people sad, but everyone is a general, and they are used to killing and attacking in the past few years. They know that life and death on the battlefield are common, so we have to be more cautious, and Emperor Wanli has ordered people to arrange The older members of Li Bao’s family will be jointly supported by the imperial court and the Tianjin Guards. The younger ones can be arranged to study literature and martial arts. Emperor Wanli promised to be a magistrate and learn martial arts. He can arrange a commander of the guard. Soldiers, at least they can be guerrillas.

This kind of promise really set a prosperous and prosperous future for their family. What is Li Bao fighting to the death? Isn't it just for his family to have all these things? up.

The young people came because they were hungry, and because they got together, the food was sweet and delicious. After a while, the maids and eunuchs who were serving outside came in and took away the tableware in surprise.

There are no tables and chairs in the house, and the weapons and ammunition boxes are not places for people to sit, so they simply sit on the ground.

Emperor Wanli looked around, all of them were friendly and trusted people. In the past, he looked so kind when he was not on good terms with him in the martial arts hall. Emperor Wanli rarely saw Li Hutou when he was so relaxed in the palace. , he couldn't stop laughing. In a sense, this straightforward and sunny boy is more like Emperor Wanli's brother than King Lu. Seeing Wang Tong sitting there, Emperor Wanli suddenly felt at ease. , very emotional.

If it weren't for this precocious peer, he might not be able to see the sun today, and it is precisely because of this precocious peer that he manages and plans for him that he can have so much power in his hands, so that he can overcome difficulties one by one. Emperor Wanli had an obvious smile on his face.

The door panel of the house door had already been dismantled and used on the top courtyard door. The eunuchs and maids serving outside were all surprised to see the smile on Emperor Wanli's face.

They work in the palace, and they are good at observing words and expressions. Naturally, they know that Emperor Wanli is rejoicing from the heart at this time, and the real smile is from the heart. When Emperor Wanli came to Concubine Zheng, it was the most sincere time. , are very quiet, easy not to smile.

"Wang Tong, at the court meeting today, I asked Liu Shouyou to go home and meditate behind closed doors. The position of Commander of Jin Yiwei is vacant. Who do you think should take this position?"

Despite the presence of the General Army of the Nine Borders, despite the prominent positions of the Beijing Camp and the Forbidden Army, for the people of the world, the No. 1 military position is the commander of the Jinyiwei, because this position is the most trusted by the emperor, and holds the power to spy on the world , the most impressive.

Hearing Emperor Wanli's words, several people in the room listened attentively. Wang Tong pondered for a while, looked at Emperor Wanli's expression, and said:
"This kind of position is not something I can lie about, but your Majesty asked, Li Wei, the Marquis of Wuqing, had the title of Commander of Jinyiwei, and he is His Majesty's grandfather, so this position is suitable."

Wang Tong's words were full of courtesy, and the candidate he mentioned was also quite satisfactory. Emperor Wanli shook his head with a smile, waved his hand and said:
"Grandpa is getting old, and he likes to have money and leisure errands. Let him take care of the Jinyiwei, he is not willing, Wang Tong, you are also the commander of the Jinyiwei Commander, what do you do!?"

Everyone in the room was in an uproar, Wang Tong was also taken aback, he quickly stood up and said:

"I'm not talented enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this job..."

"The 5 taels of gold flowers and silver every year have done such and such things for me, and with the great work of last night, what kind of talents do you need? Liu Shouyou knows poetry and calligraphy, but a But my heart is not on my side. It is better not to use such a talented person. Don’t refuse. When you go to court tomorrow, you will be promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei. What are you guys still doing there? Pass Wangdutang."

Emperor Wanli waved his hands again and again, Li Hutou, Li Tao and others had no reason not to join in the fun, they all got up and bowed to Wang Tong and said:

"Your official has met Lord Dutang!!"

The etiquette was careless and rigorous, and he said it with a laugh, but Wang Tong stepped forward and knelt down to thank him:

"Your Majesty's grace, I will be smashed to pieces to repay, thank you for your majesty's great grace!!"

"Get up, get up."

Emperor Wanli smiled and waved his hand. Wang Tong saw him solemnly. From his experience in the workplace, the more you have made great achievements, the more cautious you should be. If there is suspicion, then I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe.

Even though he made a great contribution last night, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a life-saving grace, and Emperor Wanli was sincere, but Wang Tong knew that he must not get carried away with complacency.

Seeing that Wang Tong behaved as usual, Emperor Wanli felt very comfortable in his heart. It would not be an exaggeration for such a great achievement last night to be named a Marquis or Duke according to the rules of the past dynasties, but such a title as Emperor Wanli would not I can't guarantee what the Queen Mother thinks, and I can't guarantee whether the courtiers will object.

While talking and laughing, there was an announcement from outside, but Zou Yi hurried in. Last night, the capital quelled the chaos. Zou Yi, Lu Wancai, and Li Wenyuan jointly planned and commanded to quell the chaos. When it comes to the position of the imperial horse supervisor and the eunuch, it can be said that it is one step to turn over and one step to reach the sky.

Zou Yi was familiar with everyone, he was not an outsider, Emperor Wanli approved, Zou Yi hurried in, greeted the ceremony, nodded in all directions, and said:
"Long live, Xia Yuancheng, deputy general of the Beijing camp, has already been sent to prison, and Li Wenquan, the prince of Wuqing Marquis, has just left the city to take up his post."

According to the usual practice, the Jingying is the eunuch who is the third or fourth eunuch, the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the honorable generals to lead the army together. Li Wenquan's identity is also suitable, and no one can say anything. .

"Oh? It's my uncle, I know."

Emperor Wanli was not surprised at all, he just said that he knew, Zou Yi looked at both sides again, Emperor Wanli waved his hand and said:
"They are all my confidant ministers, so let's say something!"

Zou Yi hesitated for a while, but still kowtowed and said:
"My maidservant, Lord Long Live, please leave only Lord Wang and Lord Li."

In terms of trustworthiness, the two of them are indeed the most important. Li Tao and Sun Xin looked at each other, and Zhiqu called the others to bow and leave. Emperor Wanli also shouted:
"You guys also have rewards, I remember that!"

The people outside thanked each other with a smile, and when they walked away, Zou Yi lowered his voice and said:

"Long Live Lord, all the servants in the residence of King Lu were strangled to death, and it was only said that they died in battle while protecting the lord."

The death of Shuangxi, a close friend of King Lu's eunuch Lin Shulu, has already explained many problems. Emperor Wanli's face turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice:

"Is it just the palace people?"

Zou Yi trembled, and continued:

"The news from over there is that the Empress Dowager arranged for His Royal Highness Prince Lu to go to the domain immediately, and arranged for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to choose the princess from the poor families in the capital."

Emperor Wanli said "Oh" calmly, and Zou Yi continued:

"...His Royal Highness King Lu is crying at the Palace of Compassion, saying that he wants to see the Empress Dowager..."
