The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely rebellious

Chapter 51 The eldest son

Wanli already felt that the crisis was approaching.

Those civil servants were probably secretly preparing to replace him.

The dispute over the national foundation is just a pretext.

In history, when the eldest prince Zhu Changluo was only four years old, those civil officials forced him to become the crown prince!

Queen Wang was not infertile. In the tenth year of Wanli's reign, she gave birth to Princess Rongchang.

As for why Queen Wang did not give birth to a prince later, it was because of Empress Dowager Li!

Empress Dowager Li stipulated that Emperor Wanli had to seek imperial decree if he wanted to favor Queen Wang.

Moreover, even if Wanli asked for an imperial decree, Empress Dowager Li would rarely agree, because Queen Wang was too busy managing the affairs of the harem!

This is a lie. Is managing a harem more busy than managing the entire Ming Dynasty?

Is Queen Wang busier than him as the emperor, so busy that she doesn't even have time at night?
Empress Dowager Li was deceived by those civil officials.

This stupid woman just wanted the prince born by a palace maid to become the crown prince so that she could control him more easily.

Can I let you guys play like this?
Wanli frowned and pondered for a while, then said decisively: "Uncle, draft an edict to confer the title of Consort Wang Gong on the imperial concubine Wang."

Zhang Zhen was deeply moved when he heard this. In order to enthrone his precious daughter as a noble concubine, the Emperor had to yield to Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Siwei.

Did Wanli really think so?
They chatted for a while, and the cabinet finally approved both imperial edicts.

Wanli immediately said to Li Xuancheng, "Uncle, when you send someone to deliver the imperial edict, tell Concubine Gong to bring Luo'er over to show me."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancheng couldn't help but feel relieved and nodded repeatedly before leaving.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhen and Zhou Ganquan hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.

The Emperor is going to see his concubines and princes, so they naturally cannot stay here.

Not long after, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard outside.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xuancheng personally opened the door of the imperial study and signaled Concubine Wang Gong to quickly carry the eldest prince in.

Concubine Wang Gong hesitated at the door for a while before walking into the imperial study with a nervous look on her face.

She was scared.

Because in her impression, Wanli was a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor, and he was also notoriously rebellious, had a bad temper, and would chop people at will!

She was so frightened that she even forgot to greet him.

She just held the child in her arms, staring at Wanli blankly, her face full of fear.

Is Wanli really cold-blooded and ruthless?
Historically, he was forced to do so.

At that time, Empress Dowager Li was so fooled by those civil servants that she was at a loss as to what to do, and she forced him to appoint a crown prince.

Once his rebellious temper came up, he naturally took his anger out on Concubine Wang Gong and the eldest prince.

In fact, he is not a cold-blooded person.

He was feeling very complicated at the moment.

Concubine Wang Gong was actually very beautiful, and she had the typical baby face and big body. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to control himself and insisted on making trouble in the Cining Palace after just taking in more than ten concubines.

The little beauty looked at him pitifully, holding the child in her arms and looking at him with horror on her face, which made him feel mixed emotions.

Am I so scary?

He thought for a moment, then slowly stood up, forced a smile, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Concubine Gong. I'm not what the rumors say."

After saying that, he slowly walked forward.

You, you, you are not who the rumors say?

I, I gave birth to your child for so long, but you have never come to see us, mother and child.

Concubine Wang Gong was so frightened that she subconsciously took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Wanli could only stop and hold out his hand, saying, "Come, let me see Luo'er."

Concubine Wang Gong hesitated for a moment, but still gritted her teeth and handed her precious son over.

Wanli took it and looked at it. The little guy looked quite cute, with big eyes, a round face, a straight nose, and a delicate mouth. He looked very much like Concubine Wang Gong. However, the little guy stared at him with his big eyes, was stunned for a moment, and immediately started crying with his mouth pursed.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Wang Gong quickly extended her hand and said, "Your Majesty, Luo'er is afraid of strangers."

I, the emperor, as a father, have become a living person.

At this moment, Sun Dexiu's shrill voice suddenly came from outside: "My Queen, what's wrong? Why don't we go back to the palace?"

Humph, you want to steal my wife and children?

Wanli snorted inwardly, carefully handed the little guy over, and then said softly: "Concubine Gong, why don't you stay in the Qianqing Palace first? The harem is full now. When spring comes, I will order people to build a palace for you."

what?
You made me live with a tyrant like you!
Upon hearing this, Concubine Wang Gong was terrified and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I want to return to the Cining Palace."

What's good about that stupid woman?

If you follow her, you will just cry all day long and your eyes will go blind from crying.

Wanli thought for a moment, then said aloud, "Uncle."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancheng immediately ran in, stretched his neck, looked at the little one in Concubine Wang Gong's arms, and said lovingly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

This is his little grandson, and he is already a grandfather.

Seeing this, Wanli was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and said, "Uncle, order someone to clean up the bedroom in the back and arrange for ten skilled palace maids to serve Concubine Gong.

By the way, Concubine Gong gave me a prince, but I haven't rewarded her yet. You should order someone to bring 100,000 taels of silver to the palace for Concubine Gong to use."

Oh, my little grandson is going to live in the Qianqing Palace?

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he went out happily.

Seeing this, Concubine Wang Gong stared with wide eyes and said in horror, "Your Majesty, I, I really want to go back."

If you go back, you will become their tool to deal with me!

Upon hearing this, Wanli pretended to put on a serious face and said unhappily, "Where are you going back to? I am your husband, and this is your home."

what?
Woo woo woo woo.

Concubine Wang Gong was so frightened that tears came to her eyes.

This little beauty is too timid.

Seeing this, Wanli quickly comforted her softly, "Concubine Gong, listen to me and stay here. I will treat you and your child well."

I do not believe.

They all say you are a tyrant.

Concubine Wang Gong just stared with her big eyes and shed tears silently. She looked so weak, pitiful and helpless.

How can this be good?

Wanli thought about it carefully and decided to just take the little beauty and walk towards the bedroom, just like he did in the Cining Palace.

However, this time the situation is different.

As soon as he walked out of the imperial study, Sun Dexiu immediately screamed, "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

What I want to do is none of your business.

Wanli said coldly: "Go back and tell the Queen Mother that Concubine Gong and her son will live with me from now on."

what?
Sun Dexiu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she said carefully, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Empress Dowager has ordered me to bring Concubine Gong and her son back to the Cining Palace."

What happened to the Empress Dowager's decree?
Wanli said directly to Li Xuancheng beside him: "Uncle, order them to be thrown out. From now on, no one from the Cining Palace is allowed to set foot in the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancheng immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward with his men to capture Sun Dexiu and his gang and drag them out. When they reached the gate, he really threw them out!
When Concubine Wang Gong saw this, she was shocked.

Wanli didn't care and directly pulled her into the bedroom, then asked the palace maid inside to carry the little emperor to the outer room to wait.

After an unknown amount of time, Wanli, sweating profusely, smiled wickedly and asked, "So, are you going back to the Cining Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Wang Gong said shyly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not go back."
