"This doesn't bother Grandpa Zhang!" Zhang Juzheng snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and turned around and left.

When Zhang Whale saw this scene, he smiled slightly, but he didn't care, glanced at Li Sheng, and said with a smile: "Follow our family!" Don't stand here as an eyesore, we don't want to see you here! After saying that, he left with the people from Dongchang.

Back in the cabinet duty room, Zhang Juzheng sat in his chair, glanced at Zhang Siwei and Lu Tiaoyang who followed up, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with that Chen Lian?" ”

Lu Tiaoyang and Zhang Siwei were both slightly embarrassed, the two of them glanced at each other, and finally Lu Tiaoyang said: "That Chen Lian is just a very ordinary scribe in our cabinet, saying that he colluded with the Mongolian Tatars, that is absolutely nothing. ”

Nodding slightly, of course Zhang Juzheng knew no, Chen Lian was not a fool, and he would do this kind of thing.

Besides, the Mongolian Tartars are going to be beaten down, where do they dare to stir up the wind and rain.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng also understands that Dongchang will never frame Chen Lian, especially in front of himself. The lie that can be broken at the first poke will bring humiliation on itself, and Zhang Whale can't be so unwise. After pondering for a moment, Zhang Juzheng spoke: "How about the other people from the Yamen?" ”

"There are more than a dozen people who were taken away by Dongchang, but the charges against Dongchang were said, and they were all read out in public." Lu Tiaoyang said directly: "Elder Zhang Ge, it's better to go to the palace, if you let Dongchang make such a fuss, it's very troublesome!" ”

Zhang Juzheng glanced at Lu Tiaoyang, but he didn't speak, what did he do when he entered the palace, did he complain? I can't afford to lose that face.

However, it is not easy to get this matter done, even if you go to sue yourself, Zhang Whale must have a reason, if nothing else, those people are definitely not clean. handed it over to impeach Zhang Whale, first, it came slowly, and secondly, it came to the celebrant supervisor, and the effect is estimated to be the same.

After thinking about it, Zhang Juzheng thought of a person, and this person was Zhang Hong, the eunuch with the palm print of the celebrant eunuch.

The reason why Zhang Hong, the eunuch with the palm seal of the celebrant of the celebrant of the celebrity, is ranked higher than Zhang Whale of the eunuch who was ordered by the eunuch of Bingbi to supervise the Dongchang is because the eunuch of the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant holds a very crucial power, that is, the seal.

This seal is not an ordinary seal, but the emperor's jade seal.

A fold was handed over, and the cabinet vote was drafted, which was to put it bluntly the method given for the fold. For example, if a local official is affected by a disaster, the cabinet will write a tax reduction or exemption, or distribute money and grain for disaster relief.

The ticket was drafted to the celebrant of ceremonies, and if the celebrant had any cabinet handling opinions, then the eunuch of Bingbi would approve the red, which means that it can be done in this way.

At this point, the most critical step will be carried out, that is, the eunuch will be stamped by the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and the emperor's jade seal will be stamped on this ticket, which is the holy decree of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the most authoritative existence of the Ming Dynasty.

If it does not go through the cabinet, the holy decree issued directly by the emperor is called the central decree, and the generals and eunuchs of the central decree do not dare to resist, but the civil officials sometimes dare to refuse. Because the Zhongzhi represents the will of the emperor, not the will of the entire court.

The reason why Zhang Juzheng holds great power is because all the votes he handed over were directly stamped by the celebrant supervisor, without refutation or deletion.

In a sense, Zhang Juzheng's vote is a holy decree.

If Feng Bao is here, Feng Bao has the right to hold the seal, and he can also restrain Dongchang at the same time, as long as he has a good relationship with Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng will be foolproof. But now it's different, the highest-ranking eunuch among the Bingbi eunuchs and the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant are not alone.

Originally, this was the correct configuration, and it was also a constraint, throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Bao was the only one who supervised Dongchang as the eunuch Zhang Yin, the master of ceremonies. Even Wei Zhongxian, who has the power in the world, is also the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi who was ordered to supervise the East Factory.

This is also the reason why Gao Gong said that Feng Bao was overbearing, because this kind of appointment is not in accordance with the rules at all.

The eunuch in Wei Zhongxian's era was Wang Tiqian, which shows that the Emperor of the Apocalypse's control over the celebrant was not out of control.

Although Wei Zhongxian did a lot of arrogant and domineering things, from beginning to end, his power came from the emperor, not anything else. When Chongzhen cleaned up Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian could only obediently lead his neck and kill.

In the system of the Ming Dynasty, checks and balances are actually ubiquitous, the inner court master of ceremonies and eunuchs of the seal of the eunuch of the inner court, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch of the pen of the eunuch of the imperial court, and the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch of the imperial horse of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuchs of the imperial court, one of the eunuch

The three people do not belong to each other, but they check and balance each other, and it is a very perfect system.

The great eunuch Wang Zhen and Liu Jin are the eunuchs of the ceremonial supervisor Zhang Yin, and Wang Zhi is the eunuch of the Xichang Governor, he is the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and he has never held two positions. Once a eunuch wears two hats, it immediately becomes uncontrollable.

Once the eunuchs and the cabinet colluded, the imperial power was definitely greatly weakened.

This is also a very important reason why Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng can get along very well in history. If Feng Bao hadn't held two positions by himself, there would definitely not have been a peaceful coexistence between the eunuchs and civil officials of the Wanli Dynasty.

The East Factory also has Jinyiwei and him to check and balance each other, and they are also preventing the East Factory from becoming bigger. In the Qing Dynasty, this kind of checks and balances were further developed, that is, the emergence of the Military Aircraft Department. It is not to use honors and nobles to check and balance civilian officials, but to use the Military Aircraft Department to check and balance the cabinet, so as to achieve the purpose of the division system.

In the outer court, the civil ministers and the noble generals checked and balanced each other, and before the Tumubao Change, this kind of balance was possible, although it was slightly decayed, but it still worked. However, after the civil fort, the military and nobles collapsed, and the civilian officials became bigger.

At this time, the emperor can rely on Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

For example, now, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi was ordered to supervise Zhang Whale of Dongchang to find trouble, and Zhang Juzheng had a headache.

Even if Zhang Hong helps him, it is impossible for Zhang Hong to take care of the affairs of Dongchang, that is overstepping his authority, and it is taboo in officialdom to stretch out his hand indiscriminately. At this time, the emperor needs to come forward to adjudicate, which is the importance of checks and balances.

Now Zhu Yijun still doesn't count, the matter of the ruling needs to be reported to the Empress Dowager Li, but let Zhang Juzheng go to the Empress Dowager Li to complain, he still can't pull his face. Besides, if he goes to sue, people will sue him, and he will never be as convenient as a eunuch when he enters the palace!

In the final analysis, foreign ministers are always weak in the palace.

The method of civil officials is to play the impeachment, but doing so is not only time-consuming, but also the effect is not good, and the effect is slow, which is not what Zhang Juzheng wants. If this matter can be suppressed with a thunderous force, it will be the best.

Although Zhang Juzheng can't go by himself, he can let Zhang Hong go, but how to let Zhang Hong help him, Zhang Juzheng has a headache. From the perspective of relatives near and far, Zhang Whale worshiped Zhang Hong's door when he entered the palace, and Zhang Whale still called Zhang Hong his godfather.

In terms of personality, Zhang Hong, the eunuch, is very upright, and Zhang Juzheng has not thought about winning him over, but he has always been unable to enter the market.
