Chapter Twenty-Six: Acting
At night, Zhang Juzheng's mansion, study.
Zhang Juzheng put down the brush in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at You Qi, who was standing not far away, and said, "When the fold is dry, I will put it away, and I will hand it over early tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes, sir!" You Qi hurriedly agreed and said respectfully.
This is another begging grace, Zhang Juzheng's attitude is obvious, anyway, he has to resign, and the posture is very good.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Juzheng to leave at this time, be splashed with dirty water by his own students, and then go home with this dirty water, it is better to find a piece of tofu and kill him.
With Zhang Juzheng's strength and character, how could he suffer such a loss.
It is necessary to make a gesture for outsiders to see, but there are not many that can see the depths, in addition to being an outsider, there are two purposes, or two sides of one, that is, to test the emperor and the queen mother.
In the past few years, everyone knows that the emperor and the queen mother are obedient to Zhang Gelao, and Zhang Gelao's strips can be used as holy decrees.
But a few days ago, Fu Yingzhen impeached Zhang Gelao, and Zhang Whale, the official of Dongchang Factory, was looking for trouble, looking like a stormy look. Zhang Juzheng naturally wanted to test whether the emperor and the queen mother still wanted to rely on him as before.
If it is still the same as before, then it will definitely comfort yourself, and it is impossible to let yourself return to your hometown.
Since you want to comfort yourself, then the dirty water will naturally not be able to be on your body again, and if you don't have dirty water, you will prove that you are not wrong, and you are not wrong, that is the fault of the impeachment person. The queen mother and the emperor have to clean up Liu Tai, clean up Liu Tai and comfort themselves, which are two sides of the same coin.
If you deal with Liu Tai strictly and severely, you will be powerful enough.
The next day, Zhang Juzheng still did not go to the cabinet to be on duty, but just took another job of begging for grace.
For Zhang Juzheng's second begging grace, there are those who disdain, those who are angry, and those who retreat. Anyway, no one wants to get involved in this matter, and for the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a student impeached a teacher, and no one would definitely be a trivial matter.
In the palace, Zhu Yijun is teasing birds.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
The parrot said this best, this bird was brought by the Dongchang spies he sent to Haojing a few years ago. I have been raised in the palace for a few years, and my body is very healthy, and the eunuchs and palace maids teach me on weekdays, and this sentence "Long live the emperor" is the best.
Zhu Yijun fed the bird with a smile, and seeing Zhang Whale behind him looking like he wanted to say something, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”
"Emperor, Zhang Ge Lao has entered the palace!" Zhang Whale said cautiously: "The Queen Mother summoned Zhang Ge to be old in Cining Palace!" ”
Standing up, Zhu Yijun moved his shoulders and said with a smile: "Prepare clothes for me, Cining Palace should send someone soon!" After speaking, Zhu Yijun handed the parrot to the palace maid next to him.
In the morning, Zhang Juzheng's beggar Shu Zhu Yijun naturally saw it, and the Cining Palace naturally saw it.
Empress Dowager Li has been very concerned about this matter in the past few days, and now she has summoned Zhang Juzheng in, which is also the proper meaning. Zhang Juzheng's second recital, the tentative meaning is obvious, and then it is his turn to sing white face.
It didn't take long, and someone from Cining Palace really came, and he looked quite anxious.
Zhu Yijun had already finished cleaning up, and when he saw someone coming, he went directly to Cining Palace. As soon as he walked to the door, Zhu Yijun heard a cry from inside, and the sound was not small.
Hearing this voice, Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows, fortunately it was not "Huh!" ”
However, just "hey, hey", it is enough to make Zhu Yijun's head big, and there is no one else who dares to cry so loudly in Cining Palace except for Empress Dowager Li. Women have three magic weapons, one crying, two troubles and three hangings, Empress Dowager Li is going to cry to her son!
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Yijun entered, he saw the Empress Dowager Li sitting there crying, the kind of handkerchief in her hand, crying was sad.
Zhu Yijun really wanted to lean over to see if there were any tears, but he still didn't dare, but walked quickly to the side of the Empress Dowager Li and said, "Mother, why are you crying?" Is it that these people didn't serve them well, and I asked people to clean them up. ”
To do a full set of plays, now is the time to pretend to be stupid, Zhu Yijun feels that his acting skills are good.
Zhang Juzheng sat next to him, looking at the emperor's students who had just walked in, and seeing that he was worried about the Empress Dowager Li, he nodded lightly, this filial piety is still good, and it is not in vain to teach him with all his efforts.
"You still say?" Empress Dowager Li raised her head and looked at Zhu Yijun with wide apricot eyes: "Your Master Zhang is going to be forced home, why don't you care?" ”
"I think when your father died, who turned the tide, not your Master Zhang. In the past few years, who is doing his best for Daming to ensure the stability of Daming, not your Master Zhang? “
"Now that your Master Zhang is being slandered, you, as the emperor, are watching it like this?"
Empress Dowager Li counted Zhu Yijun while crying, what she said was called sadness, and what she said was called a true expression.
Zhang Juzheng didn't dare to sit at this time, so he hurriedly lifted the python robe, pushed the golden mountain and knelt down like a jade pillar, and then said loudly: "The minister is guilty, the minister is not acting properly, so that the emperor and the queen mother are worried, the emperor, the queen mother, please return to his hometown and return to his hometown!" ”
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yijun hurriedly came to Zhang Juzheng's side, stretched out his hands to support Zhang Juzheng, and said earnestly: "Master Zhang, Daming needs you, I need you, how can you abandon me at this time?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun showed an angry look on his face: "Master Zhang, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." ”
After a few tosses, Zhang Juzheng left the palace, Empress Dowager Li also went to the harem, and Zhu Yijun returned to the Qianqing Palace. Rubbing his somewhat swollen forehead, Zhu Yijun sighed helplessly: "Acting is also tiring enough." ”
Although the three of them spoke earnestly and shed tears, Zhu Yijun knew that there was not much truth in it.
Empress Dowager Li cried to herself, to put it bluntly, she wanted to keep Zhang Juzheng, but whether she was really crying is absolutely up for debate. As for Zhang Juzheng's resolute resignation, if Zhu Yijun believes it, there will be ghosts.
As for himself, he didn't show any true feelings from beginning to end.
Through the matter of Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Li expressed her support for Zhang Juzheng and would not let him go home like this, and she indicated that she would severely punish Liu Tai and them, and give Zhang Juzheng an explanation, and this wave of temptation and pacification was temporarily completed.
The next step is to take action, Zhu Yijun decided to delay it for two days, and he was talking about fermentation.
After another two days, Zhang Juzheng went on the fold again, this time it was the one who begged Enshu and asked for the guilt fold, and the two came together. Zhu Yijun looked at it and knew that the time was almost up, it was time to play by himself, everyone had to play their own role, and the emperor was no exception!
