Chapter 869: The Lord is Weak and the Ministers Are Strong

In the afternoon, King Yu and King Jing went to the Xiyuan Lecture Office to listen to the lecture again, and this time the main lecture was Zhang Juzheng, the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

Zhang Juzheng attaches great importance to this lecture.

Although one of the main tasks of the Hanlin Academy's editing is to lecture on the scriptures, this is the first time he has lectured to King Yu and King Jing, and it is also the first time that he has been in contact with the only two princes of the Ming Dynasty for such a close and long time.

There will inevitably be one of the two princes, and only one can inherit the throne and ascend to the throne.

So which prince can sit on that chair?!

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Zhang Juzheng also wanted to take this opportunity to observe the two princes with his own eyes to see if he could see the clues.

From the dragon's work, who wouldn't want it?!

In the morning, when he received the Holy Lord's oral message, Zhang Juzheng was receiving Qi Jiguang, who came to the capital to report on the emergency military situation in Jimen.

Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang met last year, when Altan Khan's soldiers pointed directly at the capital, Qi Jiguang, who came to the capital to participate in the martial arts, took the initiative to ask Ying to guard the city, and Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang met Qi Jiguang when they went to the city wall to work in the army.

Later, Qi Jiguang became the flag official of the nine gates of the capital, which was also the result of Zhang Juzheng's strong recommendation to the Ministry of War several times.

Zhang Juzheng admired Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang admired Zhang Juzheng, and the friendship between the two grew up like this.

Qi Jiguang came to the capital to report the emergency military situation in Jimen to the cabinet, but at that time, Yan Song was busy offering a speech, and he squeezed out time to summon Qi Jiguang in his busy schedule, and after listening to it, he didn't say anything, just asked Qi Jiguang to go back and wait for the news.

Qi Jiguang waited for a few days without any news, so he had to wait in the capital while looking for a way to get the approval as soon as possible. The military situation in Jimen is urgent, and the more it drags on, the more unfavorable it becomes.

After hitting the wall several times, Qi Jiguang remembered his friend and Bole Zhang Juzheng, and heard that Zhang Juzheng often visited Yan Song's mansion, so he thought of sending a message to Yan Ge Lao through Zhang Juzheng, getting approval as soon as possible, and returning to Jimen.

Just when Qi Jiguang visited Zhang Juzheng, Xiao Huangmen came to announce the decree with Emperor Jiajing's edict. After receiving the Holy Commandment, Qi Jiguang said goodbye and left with a very eye-catching attitude, Zhang Juzheng was concerned about the preaching, so he did not force him to stay, and after bidding farewell to Qi Jiguang, Zhang Juzheng ordered the concierge to close the door and thank the guests, and prepared for the afternoon lecture wholeheartedly.

Hard work pays off.

Zhang Juzheng's lecture in the afternoon was very successful, and the two princes were deeply impressed by Zhang Juzheng's profound literary knowledge and political talents, and they were very respectful.

After the news reached the harem, the repercussions were much greater than when Zhu Ping'an and them lectured yesterday.

Before Zhang Juzheng's lecture ended, Concubine Lu Jing in the harem sent several soups to Emperor Jiajing, and even Concubine Du Kang went once, and Emperor Jiajing, who was blown by the wind in his ears, had some migraines.

"I really want to set up a sign here that says 'no political interference in the harem'......"

After purifying, Emperor Jiajing stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the door, half talking to himself and half to Huang Jin.

Huang Jin stood aside with his bow, as if he hadn't heard it, he couldn't answer this kind of words.

"Forget it, I can be coquettish by them, but I can't be coquettish by them. This time, I don't want to take care of it, but I have to take care of it. Emperor Jiajing muttered to himself again, then patted Huang Jin's shoulder and said, "Huang Ban, Yang Guoliang, Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Juzheng, I want to give a banquet tonight." ”

"The old slave obeys." Huang Jin bowed his waist and led the order.

Soon, Zhang Juzheng in the lecture office received an edict from Emperor Jiajing, which made Zhang Juzheng feel unexpected.

Zhang Ju understood that yesterday Zhu Ping'an finished their lectures, and it was a thank-you banquet for the two princes to invite the east.

I didn't expect that today, I would be able to receive a banquet from the Holy Lord, what an honor.

For Zhu Ping'an, Zhang Juzheng's mood is a little complicated.

As soon as Zhu Ping'an entered the officialdom, he was promoted from the sixth grade of the Hanlin Academy, and after only three days, he was promoted to the sixth grade of the attendant, and now, only a few months later, he was promoted to the bachelor from the fifth grade of the Hanlin Academy.

As for himself, when he first entered the officialdom, he only joined the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, and it is not a formal official position of the Shujishi, and he has been in the Hanlin Academy for so many years, and the Tao is now only a seven-grade editor.

If Zhu Ping'an is like Yuan Wei, showing his sainthood with green words, even opening a workshop, and rising step by step, Zhang Juzheng will not have many waves in his heart.

But after observing for such a long time, Zhang Juzheng found that Zhu Ping'an was not a person like Yuan Wei who was literal and empty-talking, and the twists and turns case some time ago, as well as the Taicang theft case a few days ago, it can be seen that Zhu Ping'an's pragmatic talent is also extraordinary.

In this way, Zhu Ping'an's step-by-step promotion made Zhang Juzheng's mood a little complicated.

Of course, Zhang Juzheng also knew that when Yan Song was in power, it was not a good time to stand up.

Taoguang is the best.

However, Taoguang is obscure, it does not mean obscurity, so if you continue to be obscure, you will not be able to come out in the future, and you will have nowhere to show your talent and pragmatic ability.

If you can be like Gao Gong, be a prince's attendant, Taoguang and obscure, and when the prince ascends the throne, it will be an opportunity to rise.

Through today's lecture, Zhang Juzheng also has his own judgment on the two princes.

If it is about the chance of sitting in that seat, the two princes naturally have a greater chance of King Jing. King Jing has at least a 60% chance of becoming a treasure, while Yuwang only has a 40% chance at most.

But if it is said that it is most beneficial for him to sit in that seat, it is naturally King Yu.

If the lord is strong, the minister is weak, and vice versa, the lord is weak before the minister can be strong.

Now the displaced people are scattered, the grass translation is in trouble, the country is empty, the use is scarce, there is a Tatar disaster in the north, there is a invasion of the Japanese in the south, and the Tusi rebellion, the Ming Dynasty seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, the people are already struggling to make a living.

Since my generation is in this world, I should take the common people in the world as my own responsibility, sweep away the ills, be pragmatic, and help the world.

If King Yu ascends the throne in the future, he will have more space to display his talents, and he will be the most important in the world.

Perhaps, Gao Gong thought so, so he would enter the mansion to talk when King Yu opened the mansion to receive the scriptures.

This time, I also want to enter the Yuwang Mansion.

Therefore, after hearing the oracle of Emperor Jiajing's banquet, Zhang Juzheng suddenly felt unexpected joy in his heart.

At the time of the lecture, Zhang Juzheng had already received a hint from King Jing and King Yu that there was still a lack of a lecturer in their palace, and the Holy Lord also intended to hire another lecturer for them.

The Holy Lord's feast at this juncture must have something to do with it.

This time, I'm going to take my chances.

No matter how you are promoted to one level, two or three levels, no matter how you are promoted, you can't compare to the dragon's skills.
