Chapter Thirty-Eight: Shameless

Help the high arch to recover?

Listening to Zhang Whale's words, Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, there are still such strange things in the people? Do you want to play the game of the night sky? Being able to influence the head and assist of a country, this is a bit powerful, right?

"This Shao Fang has befriended officials from all walks of life with a lot of money, and once came to find Xu Ge Lao, seeking to help Xu Ge Lao recover."

It's just that Xu Ge Lao didn't agree, so Shao Fang looked for Gao Ge Lao again, but Gao Ge Lao didn't refuse. Shao Fang then took people to the capital and began to bribe Chen Hong, the eunuch at that time. ”

"In the end, under Chen Hong's operation, Gao Ge Lao was able to return to Beijing and join the cabinet."

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun smiled, this Shao Fang may be a broker, or he may have used money to buy off many officials, but if he really wants to say that he is seeking revenge for Gao Gong, Zhu Yijun absolutely does not believe it.

Maybe he really bribed Chen Hong, but the effect was definitely not that big.

However, the collusion between Gao Gong and Chen Hong is true, after all, Gao Gong later supported Chen Hong to be the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the seal of the seal, and pressed the rightful Feng Bao, which also led to Feng Bao's crazy revenge on Gao Gong.

This may be the fate.

You must know that Gao Gong is recovering because Gao Gong is his father's teacher, and he has protected his father since he was in the palace. After Dad ascended the throne, he continued to use Xu Jie in order to stabilize the situation, but two years later, he gave Xu Jie to his family.

At that time, the father most wanted to be appointed as the head of the cabinet was the high arch, and it can be said that the high arch was inevitable.

Speaking of which, Zhu Yijun really admires Xu Jie, that is a ruthless man in officialdom, who has fought with Yan Song for half his life, and has also cultivated his successor Zhang Juzheng. sent Zhang Juzheng to his father's subterranean mansion early, what a scheming!

It's just that many times the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, and the students he is optimistic about are different from him.

Xu Jie is a thorough minister and an "official", while Zhang Ju is an ideal reformer. I have to say that Xu Jie's vision is also good, after all, he was able to choose Zhang Juzheng, which also shows his ability to recognize people.

"And what about this time? Who asked him to come to the capital? Zhu Yijun turned his head to look at Zhang Whale, this is what he cares about.

"Back to the emperor, he came on his own initiative." Zhang Whale said with a little embarrassment: "It has been five years since Zhang Ge Lao became the first assistant of the cabinet, and since the second year of Wanli, Zhang Ge Lao has implemented the examination method. ”

"The imperial court is very strict in the assessment of officials, which leads to Shao Fang's business not doing well."

It's not just that it's not easy to do, it's just a smashing of the job, how could Zhu Yijun not understand this. In the past, Shao Fang pointed to this fortune and had a very high status, after all, even officials asked him to do things.

But since there is the test method, the possibility of his activities and operations is small, and it is strange that he does not hate Zhang Juzheng to death.

Seeking revenge for others, or seeking promotion and transfer, what a big deal this is, and now that he has been strangled to death by Zhang Juzheng, how can Shao Fang not hate Zhang Juzheng. Besides, Zhang Juzheng has been doing it for five years, and he can't get down for a while looking at the current situation!

Yan Song entered the cabinet from the 21st year of Jiajing to the fall of Jiajing 41st, and served as a cabinet scholar for 20 years. Looking at Zhang Juzheng's appearance now, I'm afraid it's longer than Yan Song's.

After all, Zhang Juzheng is only fifty-three this year, and if he lives for another ten or twenty years, it is not a big problem!

After listening to Zhang Jing's words, Zhu Yijun was silent, everyone said that reform will touch the interests of vested interests, but you don't know who the vested interests are. Like this Shao Fang, who would have thought of such a vested interest.

"Take a good trial and see who has colluded with him." Zhu Yijun said casually: "Then you Dongchang will look at the punishment!" ”

"The old slave understands!" Zhang Whale nodded hurriedly and said, looking at the punishment, Zhang Whale instantly realized that it was to kill.

Since the large-scale dispatch of Dongchang did not know who killed a large number of people, the rumors in the capital disappeared in an instant. The people who used to talk sneakily in the streets and alleys are all gone, and this scene has made many people enlightened.

The people who were still in contact with these people instantly shut up, and no one dared to talk nonsense.

However, there are still rumors in private, what Zhang Juzheng is arresting people and killing people, and what he said seems to be the same, and he can't wait to play a big drama of "traitors brutalize the loyal and good, and the righteous people in the rivers and lakes are brave and righteous".

I don't know if there will be a martial arts script based on this in the future, or a movie or TV series in the future.

This matter quickly disappeared, after all, no one agitated it, just like later generations, without the rhythm of the water army, if you want to stir up a thing, it is still quite difficult, let alone this era.

Everyone's attention was on the next court meeting, not because there was anything important, but on the court staff of the five gentlemen.

Since Zou Yuanbiao's recital came, the emperor ordered Dongchang to arrest Zou Yuanbiao and put him in Zhaojiao, and the four gentlemen became the five gentlemen. Now that the emperor has made an order, the court staff will naturally be executed, and everyone is concerned about this.

The court staff is not to be beaten quietly, but to be fought with great fanfare and openly.

When the court meeting descended, in front of the officials, he took off his pants and beat the court staff. The heaviest eighty cane for five people, and the lightest sixty cane, this thing can kill people. Everyone is paying attention to these five people, and countless people are running to save these five people.

The emperor has already decreed, Zhang Juzheng is in love, and no one is allowed to oppose this matter again.

The love seizure incident became a foregone conclusion, and the five gentlemen naturally became the last focus of the incident. For the anti-reform groups that oppose the seizure of affection, these five people are heroes, and they must be saved, otherwise who do you want to give back in the future.

Many people pleaded for mercy, but when they were handed in, they were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.

Countless people turned their eyes on Zhang Juzheng again, thinking that only Zhang Juzheng could save these five people at this time.

When the autumn rain fell, Zhu Yijun stood in front of the window of the Wenhua Palace, watching expressionlessly as the raindrops outside hit the ground and made a crackling sound. As the so-called autumn rain and cold, this is especially true of Daming in the Xiaoice River era.

The cold wind blew on Zhu Yijun's body, and Zhu Yijun couldn't help but shiver.

"Emperor, it's cold, let's close the window!" Zhang Whale was behind Zhu Yijun and said cautiously. As an old man who followed Zhu Yijun, Zhang Whale could naturally see that Zhu Yijun was in a bad mood.

"Those people are still in Zhang's Mansion?" Zhu Yijun didn't answer Zhang Whale's words, but asked a question.

Zhang Jing nodded and said: "Yes, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in the matter, the officials of various departments, as well as the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, have gathered more than thirty people now. Zhang Ge Lao let people spread the news twice, saying that he was in mourning and it was inconvenient to see guests. ”

"How shameless!" Zhu Yijun sighed and said, and finally smiled bitterly.

These people are under the banner of righteousness, boasting of being clear, controlling public opinion, but doing things so shamelessly. Impeached Zhang Juzheng and was sent to prison, and now he still has the face to let Zhang Juzheng intercede and release the "Five Gentlemen"!

How did you scold Zhang Juzheng at the beginning, what was unfilial, what was not the son of man, what was a traitor to the country, what was greedy for power, incorruptible and shameful, and now you have forgotten it all? What you are playing is moral kidnapping, and you are oppressing people with righteousness!

You have to listen when you are scolded, no matter how ugly the scolding is, you have to endure it when you are beaten, no matter how painful it is, because I have been punished for beating and scolding you, not only can you not hold me accountable, but you also have to help me intercede and release me.

There is no such reason in the world!

What the hell Chilolo's bandit logic!

The phrase "repay grievances with virtue" said by Master Confucius was misinterpreted by you in this way, right? Mr. Kong's original words were, "Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness", to put it bluntly, it is a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.

Standing on the moral high ground and asking others to repay grievances with virtue, there is no such reason!

According to the teachings of Master Confucius, if Zhang Juzheng does not kill you, he should also make you lose your official position and resign.

"You go and disperse all those people!" Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and said directly: "If there is someone who doesn't leave, go to prison together, don't you want to be beaten by the court staff?" Then let them suffer. ”

"It's a shame to brush up on the prestige here!" Zhu Yijun had anger on his face, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Jing hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Yes, the old slave is going!" With that, he turned around and walked outside.

Zhu Yijun looked at the autumn rain outside, stretched out his hand and closed the window, the sky is getting colder and colder, I'm afraid that there are still people who are cold. At this time, Zhang Juzheng should be so depressed, how aggrieved, and how overwhelmed he should be.

No wonder Zhang Juzheng's temperament changed greatly after the love, and if the two of them were judged, ordinary people would be depressed.

Zhang Juzheng's change is because he sees it clearly, he knows that he can't be recognized by everyone, only if he insists on reform, he will not be accepted no matter what, and he will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame by them.

Walking back to the back of the dragon book case, Zhu Yijun picked up the pen and wrote a word: "Forbearance", Zhu Yijun sighed and said: "There is a knife on the head of the word forbearance!" ”

Put the pen down, Zhu Yijun stared at this word for a long time, and it was easy to say it, but it really fell on his head, and these people could bear it. Zhang Juzheng is forbearing, for the ideal ambition in his heart, and for the Ming Dynasty.

The knife hurt a lot, it hurt, and it probably bled a lot.

When Zhang Whale came to the gate of Zhang's mansion, there were still a lot of people here, Zhang Whale walked quickly to the top of the steps of Zhang's mansion, and said: "The emperor has a decree!" ”

With this sentence, the officials below instantly knelt on the ground.

"The emperor said, Zhang Ge is mourning at home, filial piety touches the heavens and the earth, you can't bother here for no reason, it's all gone!" Zhang Juzheng's gaze swept over everyone's faces: "Qin this! ”

"Obey the order!" The people below shouted, and then stood up, but instead of turning around, they looked at an old man in front of them.
