On August 26, Emperor Taichang once again issued an order and called yesterday's ministers to Qianqing Palace again.

Emperor Taichang's body seemed to be getting weaker. He needed two people to help him when walking. The ministers in the hall lamented in their hearts that His Majesty was really dying. Looking at the prince standing next to Emperor Taichang, the ministers I know that this child will probably become a young emperor. But I don’t know if this emperor will be like the previous emperors. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty have actually long been accustomed to an emperor who does nothing. Among all dynasties, the Ming Dynasty The emperors of the dynasty were of the lowest quality, and I don’t know if it was because of Zhu Yuanzhang’s bad genetics.

With the classic sound of the emperor's arrival, the ministers once again knelt down on the ground to attend the ceremony. When everyone was flat, no one spoke, and the entire hall fell into silence once again.

Glancing at the ministers below, Emperor Taichang sighed softly. At this time, the emperor was not in a very good mood. He pondered for a moment before saying: "My dear friends, I have worked hard for you for so many years. I don't know that you How is your life now? Are you living well? How is your health?"

Emperor Taichang asked a series of questions to all the ministers in the hall. No one knew which song it was sung from! They couldn't help but look at each other.

Seeing that there was no word below, Emperor Taichang said to Fang Congzhe, the first assistant scholar: "Fang Aiqing, please tell me!

Just chatting in this way, Emperor Taichang was concerned about the daily life of each minister one by one. By the time everyone had finished asking, an hour had passed. At this time, these ministers were staggering tiredly, and some of them were tired. Old people can no longer stand.

Subconsciously touching his sore calf, Ye Xiang couldn't help but glance at Emperor Taichang. For that woman, his nominal father, he really spared no effort. But her dream was in vain, and you, Emperor Taichang, can't Realized, when I sit on it, I will get back what I lost.

Emperor Taichang seemed to have had enough of these kind words. At this time, his face became even more ugly. There was even sweat on his face, and he looked very painful.

He took the tea handed over by the eunuch and took a sip. He seemed to feel better. Emperor Taichang said: "My prince is still very young, and I really can't worry about it. My body is like this now. Once it happens, What an accident, I'm afraid I'm sorry for my ancestors!" After saying this, Emperor Taichang glanced at the prince in front of him, with a trace of kindness in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

However, the ministers who heard Emperor Taichang's words were extremely excited at this time, especially those with sufficient status. They had experienced many things. Once the emperor spoke like this, it meant that the emperor's health was really failing. Still There is one more important thing, and that is the Assistant Minister.

As we all know, before every emperor dies, he will arrange his posthumous affairs to avoid major turmoil in the country. For those who have young heirs, one very important thing is to appoint auxiliary ministers. Such auxiliary ministers , although many of them were liquidated in the end, they have left an immortal reputation in history. The closest to them is Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet. Although many people say that Zhang Juzheng is greedy for power and harms the country, many people want to be Zhang Juzheng. Such a person, whether it is for power or to stretch his ambitions

When Zhang Juzheng was alive, it was so prosperous that it could be described as having power over the entire government. This was the dream of every civil servant. But if the emperor was wise, all those ministers who had not been liquidated would be granted the title of marquis or prime minister.

Extremely rich.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, there was a group of people who were the most envied, jealous, and hated, and that was those who were granted the title of Duke of the State and nobles. The ministers who followed Zhu Di in Jingnan were all extremely wealthy, although many of them are no longer there.

They hold positions of real power, but none of them dare to look down upon them. As long as they are not charged with rebellion, these people will not be imprisoned, which is in line with the country.

Although every civil servant talks about these nobles with an expression of disdain to associate with them, few people can obtain such wealth.

All the ministers were excited, and everyone looked at Emperor Taichang with hope. At this time, Emperor Taichang had a bright future in their eyes.

Seeing the ministers below looking at him, Emperor Taichang gently touched the faucet under his hand. This position was so fascinating that he really didn't sit there enough. But God did not give him this opportunity, and his life was not long.

He sighed softly and said slowly: "My prince is still young. If something unexpected happens to me, I really can't worry about it."

After glancing at His Highness's ministers, Emperor Taichang continued: "So I want to find someone to assist my son. I wonder what your beloved ministers think?"

All the ministers immediately knew what the emperor was thinking. It was just as they had guessed. The body of the first assistant Fang Congzhe was trembling constantly. He was originally ready to go home as an official, but he didn't want to at this time. If he could become

Auxiliary minister, he will definitely be able to shine in the annals of history.

After listening to Emperor Taichang's words, all the ministers knelt down and shouted in unison: "My emperor is wise."

When everyone stood up, Emperor Taichang nodded with satisfaction and said excitedly: "Li Xuanshi is my favorite woman. Although she has no son, she gave birth to a daughter for me. I want to make her a noble concubine."

The emperor left it to her, and with the help of all his beloved ministers, there should be no problem."

As soon as Emperor Taichang's words came out, the ministers below were suddenly stunned. They were all stunned. The first and assistant minister Fang Congzhe shook violently a few times and almost fell down. He gave a great hope, but in an instant he lost his hope.

Breaking it, this is really cruel.

At this time, Ye Xiang was standing in the main hall, looking at the expressions of the ministers below, and sneered in his heart. You are thinking too simply. The three most unreliable emperors of the Ming Dynasty in history were Wanli, Taichang and Tianqi.

These three generations ruined the Ming Dynasty on the river.

Emperor Taichang was very surprised at this time. Why did the ministers who were so excited just now become silent now?

All the ministers understood that whether it was the seemingly caring homely words or the inquiry just now, they were all for one purpose, that is, Li Xuanshi. The emperor really tried his best for this woman, but these ministers all understood what this meant.

What is this? The emperor is young and has a woman by his side.

If this woman is the emperor's biological mother, these ministers can't rest assured, but that is something they can't change. Even if they don't agree at this time, when the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will still make his mother the queen mother. This is

It was something that no one could stop. At that time, these ministers were always on guard against the empress dowager's power. In history, Empress Lu, later Cixi, and China's first female emperor Wu Zetian, any one of them did not kill a large number of people.
