Yu Qian looked up at Yang Zheng and said, "Bother Brother Yang to tell me?" “

Yang Zheng already had this intention, and nodded when he heard the words, and talked about the classic conversation between Zhang Juzheng and Han Liqi? “

Han Liqi is a Jinshi in Jiajing's 38th year, and with this qualification, he is still serving as a seven-grade county commander, which can be said to be unique among more than 1,300 counties in the country. Zhang Siwei and Ma Ziqiang are both Jinshi in this subject, and now they have all joined the cabinet as assistants to the emperor. Compared with the two, the disparity is too great. After studying the reasons carefully, I found the crux of the problem: in the forty-second year of Jiajing, Han Liqi served as the inspector of the Ministry of Labor, stationed in Fuyang, Zhejiang, to supervise the collection of anchovies and tea from the imperial court. Soon after he took office, he found that the people of the tribute households were overwhelmed and often ruined because of the completion of the tribute, so he angrily used poems as a reprimand, hoping that the court would reduce the tribute, so he angered the Jiajing Emperor and was cut to the people. It was not until Emperor Longqing ascended the throne four years later that Xu Jie, who served as the first assistant, rehabilitated him and transferred him to Pingliang Mansion in Shaanxi Province as the prefect. The following year, when the great famine occurred, seeing the hungry people congesting the road and starving all over the wilderness, Han Liqi, who had just been the prefect for a year, did not care about asking for instructions, and actually opened a grain depot for relief. Han Liqi's move is tantamount to violating the law of the country, and he must be punished as a serious crime according to the law. Gao Gong, who was the first assistant at the time, took pity on him and saved a large number of hungry people, so he mediated and saved him from prison, and was demoted four levels in a row and transferred to a county in Guangxi as a nine-grade teacher. In the first year of Wanli, he was promoted by one level, and the Zhending Mansion was taken as the main book of Lu County. It was only in the fourth year of Wanli that it was promoted to the Jingcheng County Order. Han Liqi heard about the two incidents, and Zhang Juzheng heard about it, but because he didn't handle it himself, he forgot about it over time. But the strange thing is that Han Liqi has never gone to justice for so many years, or found a way to find a senior official to help solve the problem. He once asked Zhang Siwei about this matter, and the answer was that for so many years, Han Liqi had never given him a word. Such an officialdom tough guy who is pro-government and loves the people but disdains to take advantage of the camp, Zhang Juzheng decided to meet him when he passed by Jingcheng County, but he didn't expect Qian Pu to bring all the Zhizhou county orders under his jurisdiction here to greet him. Therefore, he decided to summon Hanrich in advance.

After the first conversation, Zhang Juzheng found that Han Liqi was a little restrained, so he tried his best to be more pleasant, and asked slowly: "How many years have you been the commander of Jingcheng County?" "Two years." "What about before?" "When you get the master book of Lu County." "Before that, he was a priest in a county in Guangxi, and then he was the Wupin prefect of Pingliang Mansion in Shaanxi." Zhang Juzheng said and accentuated his tone, "Actually, I know your experience, once you are removed from the official position, and once you are demoted, it is not for yourself, but for the people." I heard that the people of Pingliang Mansion also set up a shrine for you? ”

For so many years, Han Rich has never been willing to talk about the past, and now Shousuke is talking about it, which surprises him. He didn't know what Shoufu's mind was, but he replied: "The people don't know the law of the imperial court, so there is Meng Lang's move." I had also heard about the ancestral hall, and I had already written to request its demolition. ”

Zhang Juzheng was noncommittal, and then asked: "Do you remember the poem you wrote in Fuyang, Zhejiang?" ”

Han Liqi has been drowning all his life because of this poem, and he will not forget this "heroic act" until he dies, but he didn't dare to be abrupt in front of Shousuke, so he prevaricated: "This was seventeen years ago, and I can't remember it all." "You can't remember everything, but I remember everything."

Zhang Juzheng said, and chanted sonorously: The tea of Fuyang Mountain, the fish of Fuyang River, the fragrance of tea, the fish of my family, the sale of my son's tea picking woman, the fisherman, the official family tortured the inexhaustible skin emperor, Tianben Zhiren, how can he ......be innocent here? ”

Zhang Juzheng was very emotional, and the officials present listened to it solemnly, especially Han Liqi, who has always regarded this poem as a secretive past, and now listening to Shoufu reciting it word for word, he can't help but be very moved, and then think of all kinds of sorrow when he was dismissed, and he has mixed feelings, and he has burst into tears for a while.

But he said that Qian Pu, who had been sitting on the side, had a strong interest in the poetry plaque when he saw Shoufu before, and he was overjoyed. But I didn't expect Shoufu to talk about this matter, but chatted with Han Liqi hotly, and a wave of jealousy came up from his heart, and it went straight to the nasal tube. In the place of Zhending Mansion, Han Liqi can be said to be a bone in the officialdom, and he never refuses to look up to others, so he said that this time he gathered to welcome Shoufu into the country, and although others arrived, they said a lot of strange things. Qian Pu has always disliked him, but he can't help him. The old county commander in his fifties is an old jinshi who has been in his fifties for almost thirty years, and his qualifications are there, and he can't be taken lightly. Qian Pu only knew that the first time he lost his official position was because of poetry, but he never thought of what kind of poem it was. Now seeing Shou Fu's recite like a stream, he suddenly realized something from it, Shou Fu's mouth stopped, and he immediately said: "This is really a good poem, compared with Du Fu's 'Three Officials and Three Farewells', asking for the people's life, Lord Han has made a great contribution." ”

"Yes," Zhang Juzheng took over with feeling, "Nowadays, most officials are greedy for comfort and do not want to forge ahead, not to mention taking the initiative to ask for life for the people, being a good official who benefits one party for one term, even if he can do it without disturbing the people and harming the people, it is not bad." These officials are responsible for the failure of the imperial court, and officials like you, Han Liqi, are the failure of the imperial court. ”

"Shousuke-sama......"

Han Liqi stood up in a hurry, wanting to express his heart but felt that his throat was hot and speechless, Zhang Juzheng looked at him, and suddenly asked in a loud voice: "Han Liqi, let me ask you, do you regret what you have done?" ”

"No," Han Liqi wiped away his tears, shook his gray beard, and replied emotionally, "I came from a humble background, I know the hardships of the people, and it is my lifelong pursuit to be able to do something practical for the people." ”

"Well said, if you encounter similar matters in the future, do you dare to stand up as in the past, regardless of your personal safety?"

"This ......" Han Liqi was stunned for a moment, and the thick Adam's apple slid a few times before he replied, "Now is a peaceful and prosperous era, the emperor is wise and diligent and loves the people, and the first assistant respects the gentleman and is far from the villain, and there will be no more things that trap the people in fire and water." ”

"This is not likely," Zhang Juzheng smiled coldly, and said with a solemn expression, "Beetle officials and beetles, like mosquitoes in summer, how can you kill them cleanly?" If you get the chance, it's going to bite you. You are still serving as a county magistrate, and you said that in your Jingcheng County, there has been no disturbance to the people? ”

“…… Yes. Han Liqi smiled bitterly.

"Well, how could it not be," Zhang Juzheng continued, "just like I, Zhang Juzheng, crossed the border, and you came all the way to greet you, which not only disturbed the people, but also disturbed the officials. Chanpu, what do you say? ”

Qian Pu seemed to have suddenly bitten a chili pepper, his face suddenly turned red, he owed his body, and smiled unnaturally: "We, the local junior officials, all want to meet Shoufu and listen to the teachings in person. If the first assistant finds it inconvenient to receive him, he will immediately notify the officials to disperse. ”

"What a Qian Pu, he wants me to be a wicked person, he has come here, what are you doing when you disperse? Bugu Zheng wants to meet everyone, listen to everyone's difficulties in guarding the land and the people for the imperial court, and what kind of good construction is good for the Qingming government. ”

Zhang Juzheng's words reassured Qian Pu again, and he was about to speak, but he saw Zhang Juzheng turn his face to Han Liqi again: "You haven't answered me head-on, if you encounter something that harms the people and disturbs the people again, do you still have the courage to stand up?" ”

A word popped out of Han Rich's mouth: "Yes!" "Okay," Zhang Juzheng patted the armrest of the official hat chair: "Before I left Beijing, I had made it clear to the emperor that I would recommend you to be a member of the Ministry of Works. ”

It was sudden, and Han Liqi was stunned for a moment, staying there and not knowing how to speak. Qian Pu, who was sitting next to him, woke up, and hurriedly stretched out his finger and poked his waist and eyes, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't thank you yet, thank you now." ”

Han Liqi woke up like a dream, stood up and looked at Zhang Juzheng deeply, and muttered: "Thank you to the emperor for your humble position, thank you to the first assistant." ”

Yu Qian was silent, and his face became extremely solemn.

Yang Zheng said to himself: "Corrupt officials are like the Yellow River, if they are not governed, they will flood and cause the country to perish." Qing officials are like the Yangtze River, if they are not cleaned up, because they are all rivers, they will also flood, and the country will also face similar disasters. It is precisely because Mr. Zhang understands this truth that he abandons empty talk. Saying this, he glanced at Yu Qian and said, "Brother Yu is talented, Yang's words are helpful to my brother?" ”

Yu Qian said: "Thank you Brother Yang for your advice!" After a pause, I didn't know what to think of: "I don't know what happened to this Lord Zhang?" “

Yang Zheng obviously didn't expect the other party to ask this, thinking of the completely different endings of the two, Yang Zheng felt that at this time, it was not bad to use Zhang Juzheng's example to talk about it, maybe it would be good for this national hero, and he sighed lightly: "Although this Mr. Zhang has the talent of the world, when saving the government and the general, he is a person who is good at seeking the country and not good at self-defense. Only half a year later, those imperial historians began to impeach Mr., and the emperor who had been suppressed by Mr. Zhang for many years, saw the thick recital, and unconsciously blurted out: "I've been waiting for this recital for a long time." The voice was so cold that it seeped through, and the emperor's gaze shot like an arrow to Mr. Zhang's hometown of Jiangling, and in March of the following year, he seized Zhang Juzheng and the imperial prince of the Zhuguo State, and then took the edict of Wenzhong in August.

In April of the same year, the edict confiscated Zhang Juzheng's family property. More than 2,400 taels of gold, 160,000 taels of silver, and more than 10,000 taels of real estate were found. They also said that when you returned to your hometown, you actually sat in a sedan chair carried by 32 people, sleeping in front of the Xuan and sleeping in the back, there were two houses next to you, and there were hundreds of delicacies on land and water all the way along the way, and they said that there was no place to put down the chopsticks, such a result, so that the emperor was furious, and issued an edict to the world, Zhang Juzheng pretended to measure the land, stirred up the sea, dictatorship and disorderly government, reckless and untrustworthy, and disloyal to the country. should have broken the coffin and killed the corpse, and thought of serving for many years, so I would have avoided the law. His younger brothers are all commanding Juyi, his sons are repairing and repairing, and his sons Zhang Shun and Zhang Shu are all on the border forever. ”
