    The disagreement between Emperor Wanli and the civil servants stemmed from a deep sense of powerlessness, which was even worse than when he was silent.  When there is silence, whether it is fear or anger, the target is there, no matter how the other party blocks the sky, I always know who to attack.

    He originally thought that after the silence, this court would be his own world, and he thought that in the past two years, his skills were considered clever. By provoking the struggle between the Jin Party and the Shen Party, Lu Shusheng, Wei Xuezeng, Tang Ruji,  Sun Wei and other Shen party leaders got off their horses one after another.  Although the Jin Party leaders such as Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu were also in the formation, a group of new forces such as Wang Jiaping, Yang Junmin, Liu Dongxing, and Yang Yikui also grew up.  Moreover, Wanli also pays special attention to supporting officials who are not from the southeast and Shanxi. It has reached the point of not asking about their ability, but only about their hometown.  However, the emperor developed a strong sense of powerlessness, and he found that no matter what he did, he could not achieve the desired result

    For example, this year, Lu Guangzu Ding You, the official department did not have a minister, and Wanli planned to take the opportunity to replace him, expressing clearly that he hoped to be replaced by a northerner.  However, the list of two people pushed up by Ting is Sun Yu and Tao Dalin.

    Wanli knows the relationship between these two people and silence, how can he take the position of Tianguan as one of them?  Even though the re-election was ordered, the list presented did not change at all.

    Even if the matter is at a standstill here, Wanli is still full of hope for victory, because he still has Zhongzhi in his hand.  shortcut.  But the strange thing is that under normal circumstances, the emperor rarely uses Zhongzhi to promote ministers, and the reason for this can be described as surprising-the emperor is willing to give it, but the minister is determined not to.

    ? On the surface, it seems that the officials have too high a moral character and are unwilling to take such shortcuts. They want to take root in the masses and gain broad support before they are willing to take office.  But in fact, whoever doesn't want to take shortcuts is a grandson, but the civil servants group has an unwritten iron rule - promotion can only rely on the support of colleagues, and those who rely on the emperor's decree will be cast aside by all officials!

    This rule has nothing to do with silence, but a kind of collective self-protection formed by the civil service group that grew up under the oppression of the unprecedented autocratic monarchy in the country.  Only in this way, excluding the emperor from the appointment of officials, can the relative independence of the ministers be maintained, so that the fate of everyone will not be suspended in the emperor's thoughts.

    But the emperor didn't believe that everyone was so self-conscious. He believed that people were greedy and selfish, especially those who stood aside for a long time and were full of resentment.  After searching around among the ministers, he chose Zhang Juzheng's fellow villager Li Youzi, a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, who has been in the position of servant for more than ten years and has hardly made any progress.  In the eyes of the emperor, it must be difficult to resist the big seal falling from the sky.  So he directly appointed Li Youzi as the heavenly official with the imperial decree, but Li Youzi dared not accept the decree at all in the face of raging public opinion.  He said in the memorandum; "Ting Tui is the ancestor's rule, and the sages are expected to return."  Today, the emperor ignores the opinions of all the people and appoints low-ranking ministers according to the imperial edict. This is really an annoyance with the ministers, and it is not the work of a sage.  ¡¯ He made it clear that I would not take the official title conferred by the imperial decree, and pointed out Wanli¡¯s plot not very implicitly just to break this rule, bypass the court¡¯s push, and take over the power of personnel.

    Wanli became angry from embarrassment, and what I said was to become a constitution. How can you push back three obstacles and four obstacles?  So a stern reprimand was issued, saying that if you don't accept the order, you are resisting the order. What should you do if you resist the order?  Li Youzi was also on the fence, submitting his resignation papers one by one a day, and the emperor kept them all.  A month later, Li Youzi, who still couldn't get an answer, actually hung up the crown and left.

    Wanli finally believed in evil and had to order another court push, but the ministers did not buy it. They claimed that the court push was legal and valid, and the emperor should choose one of the two candidates.  As a result, Lu Guangzu had been out of office for half a year, and the position of Tianguan was still vacant, and the affairs of the ministry were in charge of Wang Xijue, the left servant.

    And more than just a candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?  In July, Lu Tiaoyang passed away, and Wanli ordered the ministers to nominate candidates for the cabinet. When he saw the list of ministers' nominations, he almost turned the table over.

    Because the two names on the list are Tao Dalin and Sun Wei.

    These ministers who are full of loyalty to the emperor, knowing that they are candidates for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the emperor is already so angry that he still recommends these two people, which is obviously against him.  He put the appointment on hold again, as did the six cabinet members anyway!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Wanli couldn't figure it out, Silence was obviously defeated, most of his political and military party members were cut off, and the rest died down, lingering on his last breath.  Why do I still feel powerless like suffocation?

    The answer lies in the history that has not gone far. Although he is familiar with the records of the ancestors, ?With the joint efforts of the successor and Jiajing's successor, this process has been greatly shortened.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Emperor Longqing's duangong widow camp almost gave up the power of the country.  His son Wanli, who ascended the throne at the age of eight, was completely out of touch with state affairs before the eighth year of Wanli, which gave the civil servants a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  After Xu Jie, the two chief assistants, Gao Gong and Shen Mo, one is determined to forge ahead and boldly seize power, the other is long-sleeved and good at dancing, and they are the most able to win people's hearts.  The two complemented each other one after another, and within a dozen years, they both replaced the supreme emperor and became the real ruler of the empire.

    Ten years, one generation, such a long time, coupled with unremitting efforts, is enough to make many things a matter of course.  So when Shen Mo left office, the civil servants still had to hold onto the power tightly instead of handing it back to the emperor.  The civil servants had formed a powerful force, forcing the emperor on the throne to disregard his personal will in the conduct of government affairs.  Wanli has no way to resist this kind of power, because his authority comes from the prostration and kneeling of hundreds of officials, and the power he can actually control is very meager.  In name he is the Son of Heaven, but in fact he is under the control of the courtiers

    ?But this does not mean that the emperor will accept his fate, at least the Wanli emperor will not. He is aiming at Naizu and has already defeated the young hero who is the most powerful minister in history. How can he be at the mercy of his ministers?  He has always hoped to use Zhang Siwei again.  Zhang Siwei had been looking forward to it for a long time. After staying in his hometown in Puzhou for more than a year, he felt that the limelight had passed, so he wrote to the emperor, implying that he was full of fighting spirit again.  Wanli understood, and issued an imperial decree to recover him.  Zhang Siwei was worried about nights and dreams, so he hurried on the road as soon as he received the order, but when he was halfway there, an obituary came from his home. His father, who was alive and kicking a few days ago, died inexplicably Zhang Siwei had to go home for the funeral  .

    After receiving this obituary, Emperor Wanli shuddered. He felt that he was facing an unfathomable night.  In that darkness, there is a destructive force hidden, enough to hurt himself.  In order to protect himself and strengthen himself, in addition to fighting the ministers with all his heart, he also spared no effort to cultivate the power of the eunuchs, and he really hoped that the eunuch army would grow stronger and become his own wall of protection from wind and rain.  That's why he is so partial to these ineffective guys, and even fears that they are not arrogant enough to control those ministers who have no king.

    Therefore, there was an incident in Nanjing where the people rebelled against the imperial eunuch. Not only did the emperor not blame Zhang Qing, but he took the opportunity to arrest Sun Yu, who had long been disliked, to Beijing, and even wanted to force him to commit suicide, just to kill the chicken for the monkey to see.  As a result, the eldest son of the emperor was born at this time, and the Empress Dowager Yi decreed a general amnesty for the world, but Sun Hao escaped.  However, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped. Wanli personally wrote the decree of "returning to his original place and never using it again", which completely sealed the way for this person to make a comeback!

    At that time, Wanli felt a little pleasure, but the consequences of this were beyond his imagination¡ª¡ª
