Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Wave of Peace
Zhang Juzheng went to begging for the third time, which shook the entire Ming officialdom, which caused countless people to follow the trend and write books, but before they could hand over their recitals, things took a turn and countless people were shocked.
On the sixth day of the seventh month, the emperor sent Zhang Hong, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, to the cabinet to deliver the decree.
The meaning of the will is very simple, Zhang Juzheng is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, is a model of the Ming Dynasty, the new policy is good government, Zhang Juzheng's diligent government and love for the people cannot be slandered. The wording of the decree was very harsh, and it was clear that the emperor was furious.
On the same day, the emperor instructed the celebrant to issue an order to the Jinyi Guard of Dali Temple of the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the case of Liu Taifu Yingzhen's party and private business.
On the eighth day of the seventh month, Liu Tai was imprisoned, and the emperor personally issued a decree to remove Liu Tai from office, and he was given a hundred court rods and distributed to the frontier.
In just two days, the emperor took Liu Tai with a thunderous momentum, and twelve conspirators were sent to prison, and all officials were silenced for a while. Zhang Juzheng is even more in the limelight, Zhang's house is full of cars and horses, and the people who visit every day go directly to the street.
On the tenth day of the seventh month, the emperor issued a holy decree to praise Zhang Juzheng, and the emperor personally wrote "the dry city of the country" to Zhang Juzheng.
On July 12, Empress Dowager Li of Cining Palace rewarded Zhang Juzheng with 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and 10 horses of brocade to Zhang Qigong.
On July 15, Zhang Juzheng wrote a letter to intercede for Liu Tai, but Da Ming was not convicted for his words, and Liu Tai was a student of Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng asked Liu Tai to remove his official position as a citizen. The emperor did not allow it, Liu Taifu Yingzhen formed a party for personal gain, cut his post for the people, and issued a hundred court rods and distributed to the frontier.
The anti-Zhang forces that had just made a stir were suppressed as soon as they bubbled, and they could be described as vigorous and resolute.
Countless people praised Ming Jun as virtuous, Liu Tai forgot his ancestors and was not a son of man.
On the first day of August, Zhang Juzheng returned to the cabinet, and the reform of clearing the accounts and land and a whip law was rapidly implemented, and Fujian, as the first place, took the lead. Zhang Juzheng's reform officially kicked off.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Yijun hit a hatcher, he was a little tired these days, but the result looked good, and he did what he wanted to do. Since Yu Dayou entered the warrior battalion and the four guard battalions, he has eliminated the old and weak, reorganized and trained, and is in full swing.
The nobles who studied in the Academy Palace were also sent in by Zhu Yijun and let them polish them under Yu Dayou's hands.
When the reform officially began, the people of Zhu Yijun's inner factory had already gone to Fujian, and at the beginning of the year, they arranged manpower on a large scale, and their task was the next one, that is, to explore intelligence. Anyone who conceals the land and is unkind to the rich is all on the list of the inner factory.
Those who mutilate the township, have people in their hands, and bribe officials are all on the list of severe punishments in the inner factory.
In charge of this matter was Xu De's younger brother, who personally went to Fujian to sit in the town, and at the same time cooperated with the people of Dongchang in Haojing to investigate the sea smuggling situation on the southeast coast, and cooperated with Zhang Juzheng's reform, Zhu Yijun's hand was also stretched out.
With Zhang Juzheng's reform this time, what Zhu Yijun wants to get is information and intelligence.
The inner factory began to be more detailed zoning, and each province set up one general manager, two deputy general managers, and one supervision. The general manager is in charge of the affairs of a province, and the two deputy directors are in charge of money, and the other is in charge of personnel, and there is no jurisdiction over supervision, but there is the right to supervise.
With the north and south of Beijing as the center, a dense intelligence department was quickly established.
This is a change made by Zhu Yijun in order to reform the East Factory and Jinyiwei in the future, and the Inner Factory will also be reformed in the future. Zhu Yijun wants to completely separate the judiciary from the administration, and it is not possible to take a general overview of the administration and the judiciary, and problems will arise.
Only the management directly under the central government can be effective, but the current local management is too lax to form an effective management system at all.
Since the Liu Tai incident, the Ming officialdom has finally stopped, and for the time being, it is all the voice of reform, no one is coming out to toss blindly, everyone can see that Zhang Juzheng is now deeply trusted by the emperor and the queen mother, and his status is unshakable.
"Get something to eat!" Zhu Yijun glanced at the sky outside and instructed the eunuchs beside him: "I'm hungry!" ”
This matter is over, Zhu Yijun knows that the biggest storm in the Wanli Dynasty is coming, that is, Zhang Juzheng is seizing love. The storm set off by this incident is so great and the impact is so profound that it can be regarded as a major event in history.
Time entered September in a flash, and at the time of the lamp, Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair stopped at the door of Zhang's mansion.
Since the beginning of the revolution, Zhang Juzheng has been very busy, often busy day and night, and it is already early to come back at this time today. Entering the mansion, Zhang Juzheng was a little tired and hit a hatche.
is old, and his body can't stand it anymore when he is so busy, and Zhang Juzheng is really a little unbearable.
"Sir!"
You Qi put a bowl of medicine on the table, and then stood aside respectfully, these days Zhang Juzheng has increased a lot of times and the amount of medicine. You Qi asks people to prepare first every time, and drink a bowl first after entering the door.
Nodding, Zhang Juzheng picked up the medicine bowl and drank it, and then took a breath of water and drank it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there anything going on today?" Zhang Juzheng looked at You Qi and asked.
"Master, it's nothing, everything is fine!" You Qi agreed and said: "There are a lot of people in the mansion who come to visit, but there are no big things, most of them are here to go to the door and ask for relationships." ”
Zhang Juzheng nodded, this kind of thing is inevitable, and he doesn't care much about it.
On the last day of September, it was raining, and Zhu Yijun stood on the steps outside the Qianqing Palace, watching the rain outside, listening to the sound of the rain, and his face was expressionless. Stretching out your hand and letting the rain hit your hand, it felt cold to the touch.
Zhu Yijun soon saw a figure rushing from the rain, which made Zhu Yijun stunned, and at the same time his heart was also tight, is it finally here?
It was Xu De who ran up, and after seeing Zhu Yijun, Xu De hurriedly said: "Emperor, something happened!" ”
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yijun forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a steady voice.
"Emperor, the slave maid just got the news here, Zhang Ge's father is ancient!" Xu De didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The mourners over there in Jiangling should have already entered Beijing, and it is estimated that they have also arrived at Zhang's Mansion now." ”
With a sigh of relief, Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and said: "I know, let the people go out, the capital can't be chaotic." ”
"Yes, slave and maid understand!" After saying this, Xu De turned around and ran outside.
Zhang Fu, Zhang Juzheng looked at the obituary in his hand, his face was pale for a while, and the paper in his hand trembled, how could this be, how could this be, how could his father actually die, how could he die at this time.
The circles under his eyes were slightly red, Zhang Juzheng took a breath for a while, glanced at You Qi, and Zhang Juzheng said in a trembling voice: "Mourn!" ”
It didn't take long for the entire Zhang Mansion to cry, and the news quickly spread throughout the capital, and Zhang Juzheng's father died!
