Kyoshi, Cabinet.

Zhang Juzheng read the letter in front of him several times over and over again, and finally sighed.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng sighing, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing both came over.

"Taiyue Gong, why are you sighing?"

Shen Shixing had a worried expression, and he couldn't wait to pour a cup of tea and bring it to Zhang Juzheng in person.

"Ru Mo, take a look at this letter."

Shen Shixing then took the letter from Zhang Juzheng's hand and read it carefully.

The more he read, the more shocked he became, and at the end of his reading, a cold sweat broke out.

"This, what Ning Xiu said is true?"

"There shouldn't be any fakes. This son is not Meng Lang's generation. ”

Zhang Juzheng sighed again and said: "I didn't expect that the woes had just been calmed down, and these Francophiles jumped out again. When will the sea frontier of the Ming Dynasty be completely calmed! ”

"Ziwei, take a look too."

Although there are many differences with Zhang Siwei in terms of political views, after all, Zhang Siwei is the second assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Juzheng still wants to hear his opinion.

Zhang Siwei nodded and respectfully took the letter.

During this time, he has been very low-key, and tried not to express his opinions on some major matters, so as not to let Zhang Juzheng catch the handle and use the topic to play.

But since Zhang Juzheng said it himself, he can't save Zhang Juzheng's face.

"Taiyue Gong, if it is really as Ning Xiu said, I am afraid that Guangdong and Fujian will suffer disasters."

Zhang Siwei also gasped after watching the music. Although he is a native of Shanxi, he also knows the importance of Guangdong and Fujian to the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes. Therefore, the old man decided to face His Majesty and respectfully ask for the Holy Judgment. ”

Zhang Juzheng paused for a moment and said, "With Your Majesty's wisdom, you will definitely be able to make the most appropriate decision." ”

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing glanced at each other, and they both lowered their heads to look at their noses and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts.

They really don't understand what Zhang Juzheng means by saying this, Holy Judge? Over the years, who doesn't know that His Majesty the Emperor's will comes from the cabinet and from him Zhang Jiangling?

"What do you two think?"

"It should be like this, but it's up to Taiyue Gong to decide."

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing said in unison.

"Yes."

Zhang Juzheng nodded with satisfaction, picked up the letter and turned around and walked out of the cabinet room, heading towards the Wenhua Palace.

......

......

At this time, in the main hall of the Wenhua Palace, Emperor Zhu Yijun of Wanli was sitting in danger. In the hall, there is an official of the Hanlin Academy with white hair who is reciting the "Zuo Chuan" with high spirits.

"Xia, Wei Hou entered, let the son Qianmu in Zhou, put Ning kneeling in Qin, killed the left son and the right son, and took the throne. The gentleman is not allowed to stand up to the second son. Those who can stay in the position will be determined after the end. I don't know the origin, I don't plan. Knowing the root is not branching, Fu is strong. "Poetry" cloud: this branch for a hundred generations.

In winter, Qi people came to return to Weibao, and Wen Jiang invited him.

King Wen of Chu Vashen, Guo Deng. Deng Qihou said: My nephew also. Stop and enjoy. Nephews, nephews, and adopted nephews, please kill Chu Zi, Deng Hou Fuxu. The third nephew said: Those who die in the country of Deng must be this person. If you don't plan early, the queen will devour Qi. What about it? Pictured, this is the right time. Deng Hou said: People will not eat my surplus. Said to him: If you don't follow the three ministers, you will not eat blood, and the monarch will take the surplus? From. In the new year, Chu Zihua Deng. In the sixteenth year, Chu regained Deng and destroyed it. ”

Maybe he didn't sleep well last night, Emperor Wanli couldn't help but yawn, but this subtle movement was discovered by this lecturer of the Hanlin Academy.

He immediately stopped reciting, and exhorted with displeasure on his face: "Your Majesty, how can you be distracted during the feast? What did your majesty think? ”

"I... I..."

Emperor Wanli's face turned red, and he was speechless.

If this scene was seen by the people of the capital, they would all have to drop their jaws in shock.

The emperor of the Ming Empire, the Son of Heaven was forced to be speechless by an official of the Hanlin Academy, who is the master of this country?

But Emperor Wanli couldn't be angry yet.

The ancestors customized, and the officials of the Yanlin and Hanlin should not be taken lightly.

Even if these officials did not do it right, the emperor would have to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Otherwise, he will be deducted from the hat of a dumb king.

Emperor Wanli was taught to respect teachers from an early age. Theoretically, the lecturers of the feast are also his teachers, so he naturally cannot be angry with the teacher.

"I didn't hear it clearly, can I read it again?"

Emperor Wanli's confidence is obviously not very strong, and Chen Shijiao does not intend to give face to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the old minister's heart aches. The old minister has the trust of the old Zhang Ge..."

After that, Chen Shiyu squeezed out a few tears, and then wiped them with his sleeve.

Emperor Wanli's face immediately fell.

Zhang Ge Lao, Zhang Ge Lao, Zhang Ge Lao again.

These are the words he is most annoyed and afraid to hear now.

He has always strictly followed what Zhang Juzheng taught him to do, thinking that in this way he can become a Ming Jun like Yao Shun.

But he gradually realized that things were not as simple as he thought. No matter how strict he is with himself, there will still be official corruption, there will be border wars, and there will be droughts and floods.

So what's the point of him doing this?

Just to set an example for your subordinates? But his subordinates did not follow suit.

Chen Shijiao obviously didn't notice the change in Emperor Wanli's expression, and still said to himself.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and should be an example for all people. The minister could not do his duty to persuade His Majesty, and he had no shame to stand in the court again. I beg Your Majesty to allow the minister to resign and return to his hometown for retirement! ”

"I'm ready!"

Emperor Wanli said word by word.

The Chen waiter was obviously stupid. He looked at Da Tianzi in a daze, unable to say a word.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty actually approved it directly?

Under normal circumstances, when a courtier asks for resignation, the emperor will come forward to save him.

Then the courtiers will ask for their resignation again, and the emperor will still keep them.

At this point, the play is done.

If that courtier really wants to resign, he will also give a third note. At this time, the emperor will generally take advantage of the situation to grant the request of his courtiers.

And if that courtier doesn't want to resign, he will definitely not go to the third letter.

Of course, the final interpretation is in the hands of the emperor. If the emperor really doesn't want to release people, then even if the courtiers have a hundred songs, he can still stay in the middle and not send it.

This kind of resignation and retention, and then resignation and retention, both sides of the monarch and the minister are well aware of it, who would have thought that Emperor Wanli would not play cards according to the routine today, that Chen Shi really wanted to find a piece of tofu and hit him to death.

The most embarrassing thing is that this scene was seen by Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet.

When Zhang Shoufu walked to the main hall, he happened to hear the conversation between the two monarchs and ministers, and it was not until Emperor Wanli said "I am accurate" that Zhang Juzheng walked into the hall.

"The old minister Zhang Juzheng is visiting Your Majesty."

Zhang Juzheng arched his hand at Emperor Wanli, which was regarded as a salute. Emperor Wanli, who originally had an angry face, immediately put on a smiling face, got up and walked to his teacher's side in person, and said with a false support: "Yuanfu doesn't need to be polite. ”
