Chapter 22

"Yes, Emperor, the old slave will do it!" Zhang Whale nodded, of course he knew what Zhu Yijun was looking at, this fold was handed over by the celebrant supervisor, and he had seen it before that.

Seeing the impeachment of Zhang Juzheng for his arbitrary power, Zhang Whale's heart trembled.

Everyone actually knows what is going on, originally Zhang Whale also thought that the emperor was going to be pro-government this time and wanted to deal with Zhang Juzheng, but now as soon as he heard Zhu Yijun's orders, Zhang Whale knew that it was probably impossible.

Sending these things is nothing, the palace gives Zhang Juzheng a lot of rewards every year, although Zhang Juzheng is lenient with himself, strict with others, and enjoys himself, but Zhu Yijun is strictly disciplined. He even proposed to Wanli many times to "save money and love the people" and "protect the country", not only did not let the emperor eat well, wear good clothes and live well (it was forbidden to rebuild Ciqing, Cining Second Palace and Wuying Palace), and even the fireworks and lanterns in the palace during the festival were stopped.

But the palace still respects Zhang Juzheng very much, and there are a lot of rewards every year, and these things are given at this time, which is obviously a support for Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Whale is not stupid, he can naturally see it.

As a eunuch, Zhang Whale looked forward to the emperor's personal government, but Zhang Whale didn't know why the emperor tolerated Zhang Juzheng so much.

Zhu Yijun naturally didn't need to explain to Zhang Whale, he understood that you have to do it, and if he didn't understand that you have to do it, let Zhang Whale do it, then it is clear that Zhang Whale is using Zhang Whale to give Zhang Juzheng a long face, and it is not appropriate for others to go.

As for whether Zhang Whale will understand what Zhu Yijun meant, Zhu Yijun is still very confident.

There are very few secrets in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, basically like a colander, and it is impossible to hide the news. Liu Tai's twists and turns quickly shocked the entire Jingshi, which many people really didn't expect.

Some people were excited, some sighed and shook their heads, and some people scolded.

Zhang Juzheng sat on the chair with a gloomy face, and there was a pile of debris on the ground not far away, which was the teacup that Zhang Juzheng had just broken. This time Zhang Juzheng really didn't expect it, he thought that someone would impeach him, but he didn't expect it to be his student, let alone Liu Tai.

For Liu Tai, Zhang Juzheng is still fancy, if he does a good job, he may not have the possibility of taking over the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future.

Now that it's like this, Liu Tai's career is over, and no one will use a person who betrays the teacher, but Zhang Juzheng's focus is not on this, but on what he should do! After returning home, Zhang Juzheng was unwilling.

He wants to make a big career, he wants to make achievements in the position of the first assistant, and he doesn't want to go down with mediocrity.

Sweeping away the idea of returning home, Zhang Juzheng sighed and said to You Qi, who was standing not far away: "Grind, I want to write a guilty excerpt!" ”

As the first assistant of the cabinet, he was impeached by his own students for abusing power, and Zhang Juzheng had to submit a petition no matter what, which is what it should mean. It's just that before Zhang Juzheng began to write, there was a message from the outside, and the eunuch Zhang Whale, the eunuch of the East Factory, was here, and he came to deliver the decree.

Although Zhang Juzheng has been on the battlefield for a long time, when he heard the holy decree at this time, his heart still couldn't help sinking. Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but think of Gao Gong, could he be like Gao Gong, and end up like this?

Despite this, Zhang Juzheng still straightened his clothes and walked out expressionlessly.

Zhang Whale put his hands in his sleeves, and watched Zhang Juzheng come out of it with a smile: "Elder Zhang Ge, our family has sent the emperor's holy decree to pass the decree, Elder Zhang Ge, take the decree!" After speaking, he smiled and took the holy decree from the plate held by the little eunuch in the back.

This is the decree drawn up by the celebrant and directly stamped with the jade seal of the celebrant and the celebrant without going through the cabinet, so it is considered a central decree.

In history, Emperor Wanli was very cowardly, and a very important reason was that he couldn't even make a decree, because the eunuch who held the seal of the master of ceremonies was Feng Bao, and the jade seal was in the hands of the Empress Dowager Li.

Without the jade seal, the holy decree is not a holy decree, but just a piece of writing written by the emperor himself.

Zhang Juzheng has a lot of power, that is because he has won over Feng Bao, and with the support of Empress Dowager Li, he can let Feng Bao cover the jade seal. Even if it was a note he wrote and covered with a jade seal, it was a holy decree.

Although it is better now, if Zhu Yijun wants to make a decree to abolish Zhang Juzheng, he still needs to cover the jade seal, but the Empress Dowager Li will definitely not agree to Zhang Honggai's jade seal. As for whether Zhang Hong will stand on Zhu Yijun's side, Zhu Yijun has no confidence in his heart.

Even for Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun has no confidence in his heart, and at that time, it is not easy to say who is on which side.

If Zhu Yijun wants to make a holy decree to dismiss Zhang Juzheng, then he must first get back the jade seal, preferably the position of Zhang Yin, the celebrant supervisor. If you don't, you have to go through violent means.

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng didn't think about these things, and he has not reached the level where he can write a note as a holy decree. Although Zhang Hong does not stand on Zhu Yijun's side, he does not stand on Zhang Juzheng's side.

If Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun and Empress Dowager Li are divided into three poles, the first place in Zhang Hong is the Empress Dowager Li, then for Zhu Yijun, and finally Zhang Juzheng. It's just that Zhang Hong has a bright heart and has his own code of conduct and attitude.

After all, in history, this Zhang Hong died of hunger strike, and the reason was because of Zhu Yijun's liquidation of Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng bowed and said, "Minister Zhang Juzheng takes the order!" ”

Zhang Whale nodded, unfolded the holy decree and began to read it, the beginning was naturally "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says", followed by a boast, the public is loyal to the country, do his best, help the young master in danger, solve the world in difficulties, anyway, there are a lot of good words.

After reading the gift, Zhang Whale said loudly: "Qin this!" ”

After the selection and reading of the holy decree, Zhang Whale handed over the holy decree to Zhang Juzheng, and then said with a smile: "Zhang Ge's husband is loyal to the country, the emperor knows, these foods are personally selected by the emperor, but the emperor cares for Zhang Ge Lao." ”

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly smiled and said: "The emperor is gracious, Juzheng is ashamed!" After speaking, he made a gesture of please: "Father-in-law Zhang, please use tea inside." ”

The two of them walked inside talking and laughing, where they looked like enemies, but like old friends for many years, talking and laughing together.

Although Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Whale to pass on the decree, the effect was some, but it was not very good. Many people continued to play for impeachment, and for a time the momentum was huge. Zhang Juzheng still asked for the guilt, and then closed the door at home and waited for disposal.

Three days after the impeachment, Zhang Juzheng went to beg for grace again, and to put it bluntly, he asked for resignation. makes people so misunderstood, Zhang Juzheng feels that he has no face to be the first assistant of the cabinet.
