Chapter 66: The evil fate

When Zhou Mengchen heard this, he knew who it was?

It is Emperor Wanli.

Zhou Mengchen did not want to hold a birthday, and even let the emperor come. It was too high-profile. It was not in line with Zhou Mengchen's thoughts. But Emperor Wanli still wanted to come, so he left the ceremonial guard in Nanjing and he came in disguise.

Of course, the emperor? Even if he was in a contempt, there were no fewer than thousands of people who protected him. It was impossible to keep it completely confidential. Zhou Mengchen and Zhang Juzheng retreated. Are there no relatives and friends in the officialdom?

Naturally, I know these news.

Although Zhou Mengchen was unhappy about Emperor Wanli coming, he also felt a little affectionate in his heart, saying, "You are still angry with the time when you were back then. I stipulated that the chief minister could only be re-elected for two terms. If you had already served as a cabinet minister, you could only have one term at most. Didn't you change it? I didn't say anything. You were put on by Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common thing for military affairs. What's there to care about?"

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, his face turned slightly red. Then he made a sensation and said, "That's what you decided to have a flaw."

"Okay. You're right." Zhou Mengchen had no intention of arguing.

But in fact, in Zhou Mengchen's opinion, Zhang Juzheng's work was flawed. Zhou Mengchen stipulated that in the cabinet, the total time for the chief minister or the grand clerk was fifteen years. However, after Zhang Juzheng's change, it became twenty years. The grand clerk of the cabinet could first serve as two cabinet grand clerks, and then become the chief clerk. If there were means, he could rule for twenty years. This would be easy to get into trouble.

However, Zhou Mengchen doesn't care about this now.

Not that Zhou Mengchen no longer cared about the government affairs, and his professor's disciples were so good. That is, Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli regained the imperial power with various means and completely subdued the cabinet.

The most critical figure among them is Shen Shixing.

Zhou Mengchen knew at that time that his disciple was a little weak. But he was even weaker before the Wanli period. His body was almost tossed by Wanli. Although Emperor Wanli did not change the cabinet system, the power lies in the emperor and not in the cabinet.

Even Emperor Wanli was very adapted to the new cabinet system and focused on decision-making. The power that the cabinet could only execute. The military power was controlled by the Privy Council.

Therefore, no matter what the cabinet system is, it cannot backfire on the imperial power. It cannot cause any big mess.

As for whether this will continue? Zhou Mengchen knew very well that the emperor system was actually not bad. If the emperor was a person like the Ming Taizu, it would be very efficient. But the problem is that the emperor system is difficult to ensure the quality of the emperor.

If the Ming Dynasty had been better than the wise kings of the Ming Dynasty, there would be no need to build a new cabinet system. But in fact, except for the Qing Dynasty, who boasted about the sage kings of the generations and successfully destroyed their country, it would be impossible for that dynasty to have a high level in every generation of emperors.

Therefore, Zhou Mengchen was not worried about the future of the cabinet system at all.

Seeing Zhou Mengchen like this, Zhang Juzheng said, "Yes, he is your son-in-law and your disciple, so you will naturally speak for him."

Zhou Mengchen's face suddenly turned red and his face looked extremely ugly. The old guy cursed and exposed his shortcomings, which hit Zhou Mengchen's pain point.

That’s right, Wanli and Zhou Suwen got together.

They even came together without even a name.

How much negative this brings to the Zhou family - evaluation.

Zhou Mengchen gave every child the possibility of free development. Zhou Suwen has been with Li Yunzhen and decided to study medicine. The medical skills are quite good at being very young. Li Yunzhen asked him to join Li Shizhen.

After all, my own children are a little unable to do anything when they are learning.

So Zhou Suwen went to Beijing.

After arriving in Beijing, Emperor Wanli came to Zhou Suwen last year.

In order to marry Zhou Suwen, Emperor Wanli caused a big storm in the capital. After Zhou Mengchen found out, he immediately called Zhou Suwen back from Beijing. At that time, Li Yunzhen wanted Zhou Suwen to get married.

But the problem is that good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. Emperor Wanli’s romantic affairs have already spread all over the world. No one has called him off.

And to be honest, Zhou Mengchen was unwilling to force his daughter to get married. So Zhou Mengchen asked Zhou Suwen to join his elder brother Zhou Datong and practice medicine overseas. If he could find someone he liked overseas, he would marry.

But the problem is that if you have time to experience too amazing, it will be difficult to be moved by others.

The Zhu family has been the emperor for so many years, so naturally they have good genes. Wanli has a good appearance. He is also a disciple of Zhou Mengchen. He has obtained the true teachings and has good abilities in all aspects. In addition, he was born in the royal family and was also called a childhood sweetheart when he was young.

How can Zhou Suwen look down on others?

By the 18th year of Wanli, Zhou Suwen was already in his twenties. He was still alone, but he gained the reputation of a miracle doctor in Nanyang. Because a new infectious disease appeared in Nanyang, it was introduced to the Ming Dynasty. As the most experienced miracle doctor in Nanyang who dealt with this infectious disease, Zhou Suwen returned to Beijing and attended a meeting organized by the great doctors.

When I saw Wanli, the fire was dry and the fire was raging.

But Zhou Suwen decided not to enter the palace, so she took a medical treatment at Huimin Hospital.

Over time, he gave birth to a daughter.

At the beginning, Zhou Mengchen didn’t know it, but how could Zhou Mengchen not know it when it reached this point?

This made Zhou Mengchen not know what to do for a moment.

For Emperor Wanli, it was just a romantic event. It was just a little talk in later generations, but it was a great shame for the Zhou family.

Even Zhou Mengchen's descendants were almost impossible to stand out in the officialdom because they were classified as foreign relatives. Even Zhou Datong won several battles on the Nanyang battlefield and finally earned an earl. However, many people also criticized it as a blessing.

It seems that the Zhou family is relying on a woman.

But Zhou Mengchen couldn't hate his daughter either.

After all, this is the Ming Dynasty, not the later generations.

When he was in his twenties, he did not get married, even if he could only fill in a house. It can be said that Zhou Suwen had made up his mind to sacrifice his happiness to protect the interests of his family.

But Emperor Wanli was the emperor after all, and he was unstoppable in many things.

However, in the face of such a situation, Zhou Mengchen, as the head of the family, could not show any support or sympathy. This is an unfairness to the rest of the Zhou family. Therefore, whenever he mentioned this matter, he must be angry to prove that the Zhou family had a rebellious woman. It has nothing to do with the rest of the Zhou family.

So, Zhou Mengchen scolded sternly: "If you want to leave, leave. Don't say these useless things."

Zhang Juzheng coughed twice, and seemed to be a little soft, and said, "Okay, I'll leave, I'll leave."

It seemed to be exactly what Zhang Juzheng said. After Zhang Juzheng left for two days, many Jinyiwei came outside, surrounding the three floors of the Yellow Crane Tower. Naturally, the one who arrived.

Emperor Wanli and Zhou Suwen stood in front of Huanghelou Academy.

Zhou Suwen looked nervous. He didn't know what to do. His eyes were full of nervousness. Looking at Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli was suddenly a little guilty and said, "Don't worry, I have everything."

The reason why Emperor Wanli was guilty was because his feelings for Zhou Suwen were real. However, he also had the intention to use Zhou Suwen.

Because Emperor Wanli used a sudden attack to take Zhang Juzheng. But he found a problem, that is, the court was almost all the old subordinates of Zhou Mengchen. Although Zhou Mengchen was no longer in the court, there was still a legend about Zhou Mengchen in the court.

Emperor Wanli had no one in the court, so he could only win over a few people. Life was very difficult. He thought of a way to connect himself with the Zhou family. The best way was to marry.

In fact, the idea of ​​marriage has existed since the beginning. Emperor Wanli wanted Zhou Suwen to be the queen, and it was never a simple love.

There is no simple love for things like the emperor. Of course, this is not inconsistent with his liking for Zhou Suwen.

So he found a way to get Zhou Suwen to be transferred back to the capital. After a romance, he successfully won Zhou Suwen.

But he knew very well that Zhou Suwen, even a girl in her twenties, might not understand these things. But who is Zhou Mengchen? How could he not know?

Wanli eliminated the possibility of Zhou Mengchen's descendants inheriting the power of Zhou Mengchen in one fell swoop, and at the same time gave himself the possibility of inheriting the power of Zhou Mengchen.

If Zhou Mengchen couldn't understand, he would not be worthy of being Wanli's teacher.
