The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely rebellious

Chapter 95 Maitreya wants revenge
In the courtesy of Baidi Caiyun, Qianling Jiangling returned one day.

The apes on both sides of the strait couldn't help, and Qingzhou had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The speed of the centipede boat going downstream is extremely fast, more than a thousand miles a day.

They set out at around 1 a.m. in the morning and arrived at the waters near Jiangling before 1 p.m.

This is the hometown of his mentor Zhang Juzheng, whose alias is Zhang Jiangling.

However, the fleet did not stop. Their target was not Jiangling, but the waters of Yuezhou Prefecture less than a hundred miles ahead.

At this moment, Wanli was sitting in the cabin, holding a large telescope as long as his arm and scanning the front.

Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan actually squeezed in with him intimately on a chair, and even moved her face closer to him, glancing forward with him.

There is one advantage of being an emperor: he doesn't have to hold a wedding ceremony when he marries concubines.

In other words, he could first have sex with a beautiful girl or a palace maid, and then make her a concubine.

With such a beautiful lady like Imperial Concubine Qin Lan following him, he naturally couldn't help himself.

He got the job done as soon as he returned to Zhongzhou City that night. With such a rare tall figure, the feeling was something he couldn't tell others.

In short, young people fall in love easily.

Historically, he fell in love with Concubine Zheng, a woman with ulterior motives, and they were very affectionate with each other.

At this moment, he still fell in love with the Imperial Concubine, but the Imperial Concubine was replaced by Qin Lan, who was more beautiful and had an invincible figure.

Qin Lan has the temperament of a chivalrous woman in the martial arts world. She dares to love and hate, and her temper is like fire, which can be ignited at any time. No matter love or hate, sparks will fly with just a touch.

With her conditions, there were few people who were worthy of her. She was also focused on practicing martial arts and had no thoughts in this regard.

However, she accidentally broke into the courtyard where the young emperor Wanli lived and was kept by Wanli.

Moreover, the young emperor was very bold. He started by saying that he had come from afar for this beautiful woman and wanted to marry her as his imperial concubine.

Her heart was already in turmoil at that time.

Early the next morning, the young emperor really came to her eldest brother's house with an astonishingly generous gift to propose marriage.

His elder brother did not refuse, and she agreed.

She followed the young emperor back to the courtyard where they first met, and then was raped by him.

In fact, she still had feelings for this young emperor in her heart.

After all, it is not easy to find a man who is so young, rich, powerful, about the same age as her, and good-looking.

The key point is that this young emperor was very good to her family. Not only did he give her eldest brother a generous gift worth hundreds of thousands of taels, he also made her eldest brother an earl. Her two nephews who were in their teens were going to be deputy generals of the Beijing camp.

Where can you find such a good man?

Her body and mind were quickly captured.

At this moment, she felt that she could not leave this man and just wanted to stick with him.

As they were being affectionate with each other, the fleet turned south along the river and entered the waters of Yuezhou Prefecture.

A huge fleet suddenly appeared on the wide river ahead, and the end could not be seen even through the telescope.

When Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan saw this, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, so many boats!"

Wanli smiled slightly and said, "This is the fleet that escorted Prince Lu to Hengzhou Prefecture. Fortunately, we caught up with them. Otherwise, they would have been difficult to find after entering the vast Dongting Lake."

At this moment, the electric light bulb Li Xuancheng suddenly rushed in and asked, "Your Majesty, the fleet escorting Prince Lu is just ahead. Should we change boats or just follow them?"

Do you think I can't see?

Wanli rolled his eyes and said, "Why should we follow them? This place is still far away from Hengzhou Prefecture. It will take at least ten days to go back and forth."

Uh, this.

Li Xuancheng scratched his head and asked, "You mean, we should go back to Beijing directly?"

Wanli nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, you can ask General Shan to take people over to pick up the memorials from the past few days, and we will return to the capital directly."

It is not convenient on the boat, so he wants to go to the Summer Resort with Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan to live out his life in luxury.

The centipede boat went downstream at an incredibly fast speed. Around noon on the third day, they arrived at the waters of Yangzhou Prefecture.

Next it's up to rowing.

Fortunately, the section between Yangzhou and the North Grand Canal rarely encountered upstream currents, so as long as the sailors rowed diligently, they could easily reach four or five hundred miles a day. Emperor Wanli also offered a generous reward: anyone who could reach the Summer Resort within five days would receive three taels of silver per day; those who took more than five days would only receive one tael of silver per day.

At this moment, the navy officers and soldiers rowed as hard as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Miraculously, they returned to the Summer Resort north of the capital in just four and a half days.

It is late autumn now. The maple leaves all over the mountains are red, and the water of Chaobai River is extremely clear. Coupled with the rows of water wheels, the scenery of the Summer Resort is simply magnificent.

Of course, sometimes the scenery also depends on the people. The mood of appreciating the scenery with an ugly person and a beautiful woman is definitely different.

Wanli was accompanied by the beautiful Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan, so naturally he thought everything was beautiful.

They settled down in the summer resort, loving each other, wandering in the river of love, living a fairy-like life, and not caring about worldly affairs at all.

Wanli even gave the memorials to Li Xuancheng and Shan Sinan for review.

There's no way around it. This is how young people who fall in love are. They don't care about anything and just want to stick together every day until the end of time.

Originally, Wanli wanted to wait for Duke Chengguo Zhu Yingzhen to lead the fleet back before returning to Beijing to handle state affairs.

Who would have thought that before he and Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan had been together for a few days, Luo Sigong would show up.

That afternoon, around twilight hour, as the sun was setting, Emperor Wanli and Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan were sitting in the pavilion in the back garden of the palace, which had been converted from the county government office, embracing each other, watching the maple leaves turn red. Suddenly, the giant electric light bulb Li Xuancheng rushed over and shouted, "Your Majesty, Luo Sigong wants to see you for something important."

What's the important matter with this guy?

It seems that the matter must be very serious, otherwise Luo Sigong would not dare to disturb them.

This guy followed them all the way back, so he naturally knew that they were in a state of turmoil.

There was no way he could really ignore the affairs of state.

Wanli said helplessly: "Announce."

Soon, Luo Sigong came over quickly, clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, a secret report has come from Shanxi that the remnants of the Maitreya Sect want revenge."

what?
The remnants of Maitreya want revenge?

Who are they seeking revenge on?

That was definitely not revenge against him as the emperor.

Wanli was quite surprised and asked, "You mean, they want to seek revenge on Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei?"

Luo Sigong nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei not only took away their business, but also killed them all.

Almost all of their relatives and friends died at the hands of the three major wealthy families in Puzhou. They have wanted to take revenge for a long time, but the people I sent before were not familiar with them, so they did not tell our people.

However, later on, I found a few wealthy families that had been destroyed by the three great families of Puzhou, and forged the identities of some relatives and friends to blend in with them. Only then did they reveal their intention of revenge to our people.

Revenge requires more than just having the idea.

The three great families of Puzhou are each as wealthy as a country.

Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei are probably surrounded by a group of expert guards.

When the Maitreya Sect was at its peak, it was almost wiped out. Now that there are only a few remnants left, can it still seek revenge?

However, Zhang Siwei's death in history seems a bit strange.

It seems that this guy died during the mourning period, or died of some sudden illness.

To be honest, this is unlikely.

Because there are no fatal genetic diseases in their family.

Zhang Siwei's biological father died when he was almost eighty, and Wang Chonggu also died when he was almost eighty. Zhang Siwei's mother was Wang Chonggu's biological sister.

In other words, neither of his parents had any genetic diseases that could cause sudden death from illness.

In this case, it is really strange that a cabinet chief died before he was sixty.

The chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet was famous for his long life.

Nowadays, ordinary people have short lives because they don’t have enough food to eat and have no money to see a doctor. The prime minister of the cabinet lives a life of luxury, with fine clothes and delicious food, and even has access to medicine to prolong life, so it is unlikely that he will have a short life.

Yan Song, Xu Jie and Li Chunfang all died in their seventies or eighties.

Zhang Juzheng's death was clearly unnatural.

Zhang Siwei was younger than Zhang Juzheng. Didn’t he die an unnatural death?
