Chapter 155 Process
"In the 14th year of Wanli, which is 1586 A.D., a few years before the outbreak of the Korean War, the Zheng family gave birth to a prince. Who is it? Zhu Changxun."

"By the way, Zhu Yijun liked Concubine Zheng very much when he heard that Concubine Zheng gave birth to a prince. He immediately planned to promote Concubine Zheng to Imperial Concubine."

"Hey, Zhu Yijun's attitude towards Concubine Zheng is obvious, but when it comes to his attitude towards Concubine Wang Gong, it can only be said to be indifferent, and the decades-long national struggle has also begun."

"Think about it, if Zhu Yijun loves Concubine Zheng so much, then he must not be able to hold Concubine Zheng blowing the wind beside her pillow. What kind of wind is it blowing? Of course, mothers are more precious than children, and they want to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince!"

"But you also know that the Ming Dynasty implemented the eldest son inheritance system. Logically speaking, the crown prince can only be held by Zhu Changluo, so Zheng Guifei's pillow style is bound to cause a serious political crisis."

"It is said that there are rumors that Zhu Yijun and Concubine Zheng once went to the Dagaoxuan Hall to pray for the oath of alliance, saying that they would make Zhu Changxun the crown prince, and they also wrote a letter of commitment. They put the letter of commitment in a box, and Concubine Zheng Come and keep it."

"Then it can be seen from this rumor that Zhu Yijun's promise to Concubine Zheng has violated the ancestral system and feudal etiquette. This is something that other people cannot tolerate."

"So, based on this rumor, the ministers of the DPRK and China have petitioned Zhu Yijun to appoint Zhu Changluo as the prince as soon as possible in order to break the rumor."

"In dealing with this matter, the courtiers are more diligent than one another, competing to mention the issue of the crown prince. There are hundreds of memorials in the above table, most of which accuse the harem of interfering in politics, and the finger is directed at Concubine Zheng."

"It is said that before Zhu Changxun was born, that is, in the 14th year of Wanli, Shen Shixing, the chief assistant of the cabinet at that time, gave Zhu Yijun a performance."

"This Shen Shixing gave Zhu Yijun two examples, explaining that Yingzong was canonized as the prince when he was two years old, and Ming Xiaozong was canonized as the prince when he was six years old, and then asked Zhu Yijun to canonize Zhu Changluo as the prince."

"That's what you say, but Zhu Yijun doesn't do it. It's fine if he doesn't like Concubine Wang Gong, and he doesn't like Zhu Changluo either. Naturally, he doesn't want to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince."

"But at the courtier's memorial, Zhu Yijun couldn't stand the courtiers saying this every day, so he made an excuse and said, Zhu Changluo is still young, let's wait for him to grow up! It won't be too late to hold it in two or three years! "

"Hey, but after two or three years, Zhu Yijun still has no intention of being canonized. Not only did he not canonize Wang Gongfei, but he also didn't canonize Zhu Changluo as the prince."

"But at this moment, Concubine Zheng gave birth to Zhu Changxun. Zhu Yijun was overjoyed, and planned to confer the title of Imperial Concubine Zheng."

"It's because of this that the courtiers felt cheated. Well, you said that you would wait for Zhu Changluo to grow up before you canonize him as the prince, but now he is five years old and you haven't acted yet!"

"Not only that, but you actually want to confer the title of Imperial Concubine Zheng Guifei. Isn't this just a clear desire to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones?"

"Hey, it is entirely possible for Zhu Yijun to do this kind of thing, but the courtiers will not agree to it. If the emperor wants to violate the ancestral system, then us courtiers must not let the emperor violate the ancestral system!"

"So on the day when Concubine Zheng was canonized, Jiang Yinglin, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Shen Jing, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, jointly submitted their names to Zhu Yijun, requesting that the East Palace be canonized."

"In the memorial written by Jiang Yinglin, the words were fierce. Not only did he write about Zhu Yijun's inaction, but he also scolded him intentionally or unintentionally, comparing him to the emperor Xin Shang Zhou of the Shang Dynasty."

"Zhu Yijun saw it, and immediately became furious, saying that I canonized Concubine Zheng as Imperial Concubine, of course not because I want to canonize Concubine Zheng's son as crown prince, how can you people question me?"

"Therefore, the decree was issued immediately, saying that Concubine Zheng Gui had done a lot of credit for giving birth to him a son, and there is nothing wrong with conferring the concubine imperial concubine. The crown princes were appointed according to the order of seniority. You people don't have to question me."

"After issuing this decree, Zhu Yijun immediately issued another one. Because Jiang Yinglin scolded him the most, Zhu Yijun demoted him to another place."

"Other people in Shangshu, such as Shen Jing and Sun Rufa, the head of the criminal department, were ordered to be punished by Zhu Yijun one after another."

"But it is precisely because of Zhu Yijun's canonization of Concubine Zheng as Imperial Concubine, and in his edict, it has been clearly stated that the canonization of princes must be done in order of seniority."

"Soon, officials from all over the country heard that Jiang Yinglin was demoted because he asked for the crown prince, so dozens of officials went to Zhu Yijun to intercede for Jiang Yinglin."

"But at this moment, Zhu Yijun is already very annoyed. It's okay for those ministers to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince every day. You pleaded with Jiang Yinglin when he scolded me? So Zhu Yijun still went his own way and ignored it."

"After Concubine Zheng was officially conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, all the ministers almost unanimously opposed it. They not only opposed Zhu Yijun's behavior, but also disliked Concubine Zheng."

"Think about it, if the courtiers don't deal with Zhu Yijun, how can Zhu Yijun give them any good looks? He doesn't care about court affairs, and in the end he doesn't even go to court."

"At that time, Empress Dowager Li was already very old, and she was spending her twilight years in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. At the fifth watch, the eunuch had already heard the voice of the eunuch telling Zhu Yijun to get up and go to court."

"Besides, Zhang Juzheng was dead at that time, and Feng Bao was relegated to other places. At this time, the cabinet was managed by Shen Shixing."

"However, this Shen Shixing still has illusions about Zhu Yijun, thinking that Zhu Yijun will suddenly wake up one day, and then become a wise king. He is accommodating Zhu Yijun in every possible way."

"But Shen Shixing made the wrong payment after all. Zhu Yijun just let go and really didn't care about it. He hid in the harem. Hey, no one could find him, and he didn't dare to look for him."

"Zhu Yijun's behavior once again aroused the dissatisfaction of the courtiers, and the courtiers then went to the Shu to request the appointment of the crown prince."

"It is said that it was in the 18th year of Wanli, that is, in 1590 AD. At that time, when the Korean War broke out, the courtiers collectively asked Zhu Yijun to appoint Zhu Changluo as the prince, and went to Dumen to resign."

"Because it was a special period at that time, the government urgently needed talents. Although Zhu Yijun was angry, he still told them that Zhu Changluo would register when he was 15 years old. Now it is better to beat the Japanese pirates away!"

"Hey, after the war situation turned around, the ministers went to Zhu Yijun again, and Zhu Yijun said again at this time, wait until the 20th year of Wanli before registering! Don't worry now! It's just a delay!"
