    At the second watch, Xiubao asked Wanli to rest early. Wanli looked haggard, but waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I want to hear more." "My grandson wanted to spend his life in Japan quietly, but he couldn't bear to see our emperor Ming fall.  The Han family is in ruins and has no choice but to go against the will of God. Now that too much has been revealed, it will be punished by God. However, God has given me some time to deal with family affairs. I beg your majesty to stop and allow my grandson to leave for home tomorrow. " "  No matter what, you can control it for a while, but you can't control it for a lifetime. You have done what you can, and it's my turn. I just didn't expect" Emperor Wanli sighed: "By the way, Ling'er, do you want to see Prince Fu?  After all, he is your sixteenth generation ancestor, You Song was also born last year. " In order to save China and avoid future disaster, Xiubao pretended to be "Zhu Ling", a descendant of King Fu, to gain the trust of Emperor Wanli.  "No, I'm sad to see Tu Zeng. His Majesty has always wanted to make Prince Fu the crown prince. How can I say that later on, both father and son fulfilled your wish." Hideho said with a bitter smile.  "If I knew this was the case, how could I be so stubborn? Hey, it's getting late. You go back and have a good rest. I will practice it for you tomorrow." The next morning, Emperor Wanli hosted a banquet for Xiubao in the Wenhua Hall.  The standards for relatives and relatives are high, especially when the prince returns to Beijing and the princess visits relatives.  "It's called practice, but it's actually a family banquet." Wanli whispered to Xiubao, and after saying that, he ordered someone to fetch a gold box and handed it to Xiubao.  Xiubao opened it and saw that it was a square of yellow silk and a jade certificate. The yellow silk had twenty words written on it: "Continue the ancestral Yan Guangye, Dunyi Mao Xiaode, Pingtung Haibo Sui, and the Emperor Xia Zhang." "  "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" states: Every person under the prince's throne in the East Palace will be given a name of two characters. When he or she gives birth to a son or grandson in the future, he or she will be given a double name for the family, and one character will be chosen as the upper character in each life.  The next word was randomly selected as a double name and was incorporated into the jade certificate. After the twentieth generation, it will be added as usual and will be a permanent form. "Emperor Wanli pointed to the yellow silk and said: "To avoid disaster, your ancestors will not.  There is nothing wrong with following this rule. Now that I have passed my twentieth life, I have specially selected the twenty characters of Jia for your ancestors and those who have not yet had the characters to use. I have also drafted the name of your fourth ancestor in the Ministry of Rites and recorded it in the jade certificate.  , I declare that I will give you the surname Yeliang, and I will also give you a crown and uniform. From now on, you will be treated the same as a county king." After saying this, Wanli cleared his throat and signaled to the ministers to declare: "Zi'er Ping Xiubao knows how to respect China.  , I am pleased to come with you, and I have specially given you your national surname, made you the king of Japan, and given you an imperial edict You must fulfill your duties as a minister and abide by the essentials. I am grateful for the emperor's kindness and have no need to pay for it.  I only obey Lun's words and honor my teachings forever!" "I thank Heaven!" After saying that, he led everyone to kowtow and thank him. He thought that this scene seemed familiar. The edict issued to Hideyoshi seemed to be different now.  The method fell into his own hands, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings.  Seeing this, Emperor Wanli nodded happily: "The prince should also always follow the teachings and learn Chinese to facilitate future exchanges." Xiubao understood Emperor Wanli's intention, so he took advantage of the situation and asked him to send Confucian masters and disciples to the east to give lectures, and he would go there to give lectures.  Each law-making state builds a Confucian academy, requiring the disciples of each famous family to study in the academy. Every three years, those with excellent moral character and academic performance are sent to the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty for further study, and priority is given to sending the legitimate sons of the daimyo to go there, in order to deepen their enlightenment and spread the world.  kindness.  Emperor Wanli happily agreed.  What everyone didn¡¯t expect was that after Xiubao returned to the country, Emperor Wanli changed from his neglect, determined to work hard and implemented the New Deal again.  In terms of politics, not only has the "imperial government" been restored, but the cabinet has also been reorganized, and the shortage of staff in various ministries has gradually been improved.  At the same time, in order to rectify the administration of officials and eliminate party strife, Emperor Wanli began to take measures to ease the relationship with civil servants. On the one hand, at the end of that year, he ordered King Fu to return to the country, and took the opportunity to reduce the expenditure on rewards in the palace and among the vassals. The struggle over the country came to an end.  On the other hand, in order to suppress the newly rising Donglin Party and the old five parties of Xuan, Kun, Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang, and divide the civil service group, Emperor Wanli established the "Military Prime Minister's Office" to deal with the Northeast in the name of using troops in the Northeast.  In terms of military and political affairs, he gradually participated in the deliberations on various military and state affairs and was directly responsible to the emperor. In terms of personnel composition, in name, the ministers and ministers of the cabinet were in charge, but in fact, Emperor Wanli personally selected ministers with no party background or weak party roots to be responsible for major affairs.  , aiming to overcome the cabinet dominated by party disputes, establish a new team, and strengthen centralization of power.  The biggest change in this reform is that the cabinet is gradually becoming vacant. Most of the positions that were previously vacant are appointed by the emperor through the Military Prime Minister's Office. As a result, more and more officials from poor backgrounds are taking office. The previous situation of the cabinet's chief and assistants taking the lead has begun to be reversed.  , Shen Li, Wang Xijue, Li Tingji, Zou Yuanbiao and other civil servant leaders who were dismissed or retired began to work in the Prime Minister's Office and the cabinet in the name of cabinet bachelor, prime minister, and co-minister. Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, etc.  Donglin Zhonglin also attracted many upright people. From then on, the Military Prime Minister's Office was highly coveted and respected, and partisanship was like a tree without roots, gradually dying out.    On the economic front, the biggest problem faced was that Emperor Wanli proposed the so-called "three-step approach". The first was to use internal funds to appease the refugees and temporarily resolve the crisis; the second was to re-examine the policies formulated during Zhang Juzheng's administration, especially for  The "Two Tax Law" and "One Whip Law" were reformed, and attempts were made to monetize land rent, increase industrial and commercial taxes, and reduce mineral taxes; third, systems such as "dividing small households into acres", "returning fire expenses to the public", and "gentry and gentry working together as errands and paying grain" were derived.  Further curb land mergers and reduce the burden on farmers.  At the same time, the maritime ban was re-established, the Municipal Shipping Department was transformed into a customs, customs supervision was established, and private smuggling, especially armed smuggling, was severely cracked down. Overseas trade was led by the imperial court to ensure that most of the silver flowed into the national treasury (private smuggling, the beneficiaries were ostensibly private individuals)  Traffickers were actually coastal gentry, bureaucrats and spokespersons in the court (this was also the reason why it was often difficult to implement the reopening of maritime bans at that time), and strengthened the study and utilization of Western knowledge.  These three-step measures directly led to a significant reduction in the income of gentry and merchants, triggering strong opposition. In response, Emperor Wanli established the Reform Department and Taxation Department in the Ministry of Household Affairs. As specialized agencies, they went to various places to implement new policies and collect industrial and commercial taxes. The forces of all parties faced off.  Negotiations lasted for a long time, and it was not until the second year of Taichang (1626) that it was finally promoted in most areas and achieved initial results. There was a stalemate for nearly twenty years.  In terms of military affairs, in addition to rectifying military equipment, the top priority was to curb the increasingly corrupt situation outside the customs as soon as possible. Yuan Keli, Xiong Tingbi, Zhao Lijiao, He Shixian and Li Guangrong and other capable officials were successively appointed or reused.  The matter of abandoning the Six Forts of Kuandian was shelved.  In October of that year, Nurhaci led his people to Beijing to pay tribute as planned. His legitimate sons Chu Ying and Dai Shan, and important ministers Fei Yingdong and E Yidu accompanied him.  Emperor Wanli sent the Ministry of Etiquette to host a banquet in honor of the emperor, and invited Prince Fu and his concubine to accompany him.  During the banquet, Nurhaci drank heavily and became extremely drunk. In the middle of the meal, he suddenly became excited and danced. At one point, he got rid of everyone's obstruction and rushed straight to King Fu's table. He spoke rudely and frivolously to the princess, which made King Fu furious. He immediately ordered his guards to arrest him.  Everyone was also escorted to prison.
