"Dad, is something happening in the capital?" Zhang Jingxiu walked in with a lamp, it was already time to hold the lamp outside, and his father's study was still dark, so Zhang Jingxiu also came in.

Because this is Zhang Juzheng's study, there are only seven people who can enter here.

Now You Qi is a busy man, Zhang Wenming's funeral is all handled by You Qi, inside and out, and it is nothing to take care of the palm lamp. Seeing his father sitting there pondering, Zhang Jingxiu couldn't help but ask.

Of course, Zhang Jingxiu, who is his father, knows that there are many letters in the capital these days, but it is the first time Zhang Jingxiu has seen his father like this.

"Look at it!" Zhang Juzheng stretched out his hand and handed the letter to Zhang Juzheng, with a smile on his face.

Zhang Jingxiu nodded, this kind of thing is usually done by fathers, after all, Zhang Juzheng also has to cultivate his son. Reaching out to take the letter, Zhang Jingxiu quickly browsed it, and then raised his head to look at Zhang Juzheng.

"See what?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Jingxiu and asked a little about teaching.

"The emperor wants to promote the status of martial artists." Zhang Jingxiu thought for a while and said, "The emperor wants power, father, this." ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled: "It's not that simple! After speaking, Zhang Juzheng took the letter and said: "The emperor is not promoting the status of a martial artist, nor is it simply asking for power, this is a temptation, and this is also paving the way." ”

"Don't understand?" Zhang Juzheng saw that Zhang Jingxiu still didn't understand, so he simply said: "This time my father left Beijing, and the emperor was in charge for the first time. ”

"A few days ago, there was still someone who played the official who was his father, but the emperor severely reprimanded that person, and strictly ordered that he should not be allowed to do such a twist and turn in the future, the emperor does not want to take power, if he wants to take power, then he will attack his father."

"The emperor is actually showing his attitude by doing this, and it is also a temptation for his ministers."

"Of course, the emperor wants to collect military power!" Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng himself laughed first, the last time he had a relationship with Zhang Whale, it was actually because of the imperial horse supervisor and the forbidden army in the palace.

Obviously, the emperor has grown up and does not want to put his safety in the hands of others.

Yu Dayou was promoted, presumably Yu Dayou should also be promoted, right? For this reason, the emperor did not hesitate to idle Yu Dayou for several years, and Zhang Juzheng also figured it out afterwards, and his emperor students were afraid that they had this idea a few years ago.

Zhang Jingxiu looked at his father with a somewhat complicated expression, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Dad, are you?" ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Dad knows what you want to say,

"Reform will not end well, your father-in-law said this kind of thing."

Zhang Jingxiu's father-in-law is named Wang Zhihe, and he is also a ruthless man, his father died when he was 12 years old, and he was raised by his mother to study. In the eighteenth year of Jiajing, he made up for his disciples, and ate the following year. In the twenty-second year of Jiajing, he was awarded the title of magistrate of Jishui County, Jiangxi Province.

Although he is a magistrate, Wang Zhihe's official is not an official, but a military merit.

Judging from his promotion trajectory, he suppressed the rebellion in Henan, fought the barbarians in Liaodong, and also fought the Tatars when he was the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi. The governor passed through the Beijing camp, served as the minister of the Beijing camp, and was also promoted to the secretary of the criminal department, and concurrently served as the secretary of the Nanjing military department.

Wang Zhihe is also known as the two Shangshu, and he is Zhang Juzheng's in-laws, so it can be said that he has been in the limelight for a while.

This figure, who is known as a rising star in officialdom and a future cabinet scholar, has chosen to retire, and he is the kind of scoundrel.

In the third year of Wanli, Wang Zhihe asked to escort his mother and asked for leave to return to his hometown, but he did not return to the court within the time limit and was impeached. Anyway, no matter what the court says, he just won't go back, and Zhu Yijun can't help it, after all, people are filial piety under the widow's knees, you can't have to let people come back!

After all, the Ming Dynasty shouted that filial piety should rule the world, and you can't let people be unfilial!

What has become of the emperor?

Wang Zhihe was able to resign, in fact, a big reason for Wang Zhihe's resignation was because of Zhang Juzheng. Although there is also the idea of filial piety to the mother here, but for the mother's filial piety, it does not necessarily have to go back to the hometown!

At that time, Wang Zhihe's next step was to enter the cabinet, but Zhang Juzheng had already shown his political ambitions and ambitions.

Wang Zhihe was very optimistic about Zhang Juzheng's reform, and also persuaded him, after all, the reformers in history did not end well, from the most famous Shang Ying, to the later Fan Zhongyan Wang Anshi, the end was very bleak!

Yin Jian is not far away, Wang Zhihe naturally sees it thoroughly, but Zhang Juzheng has made up his mind to reform.

Zhang Juzheng firmly believes that he can succeed, a big reason is because Wanli is his student, and he has always been very obedient, he is confident that he can train Emperor Wanli to become the monarch in his heart.

Glancing at Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Dad's reputation is stinky now, if the reform is not completed, then there is really no way to turn over." Rest assured, the father is measured, and when he returns to Beijing, the father will promote the reform as soon as possible, and after the completion of the work, the father will resign and return to his hometown. ”

"Take care of your grandson, and when the time comes, you will go to your father-in-law to settle accounts."

When Zhang Jingxiu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, when the time comes, let the younger brothers have a few more children, and spread the branches and leaves for our Zhang family, and let them take care of the knees and listen to their father's teachings when the time comes." ”

In fact, in the eighth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng resigned several times on the grounds that the reform was completed, but all of them were pushed back by Emperor Wanli or Empress Dowager Li. After all, I don't want Zhang Juzheng to go, not only Zhang Juzheng, but also Feng Baohe and a large number of henchmen.

At that time, Zhang Juzheng was already a tiger, and he couldn't get down if he wanted to.

Zhang Juzheng watched his son go out, the smile on his face slowly converged, glanced at the letter in his hand, recalled the emperor's student when he left Beijing, and couldn't help but think of his words in his ears, "When Mr. returns to the day, it is the time to make great progress."

This also made Zhang Juzheng feel a lot more at ease, which can be regarded as a promise given to him by the emperor, and there is also the plaque of "promising the country with his body".

Beijing, Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yijun is in a good mood these days, the things to be done have been done, and Changdingbao is out of reach now, and he has the energy to do whatever he wants. There is another reason why Zhu Yijun is in a good mood, that is, he is going to see the show girl tomorrow.

These show girls have been selected through layers of selection, and they have lived in the palace for a while, and tomorrow is the day to choose the queen, as the emperor, Zhu Yijun naturally wants to go, but he has no right to speak.

"Liu Se, have you seen those show girls?" Zhu Yijun turned his head to look at Liu Se and asked.

To be honest, having been an emperor for so long, Zhu Yijun is still quite excited in the face of this, so many women are going to be their wives, and it feels a little unreal when you think about it.
