Zhang Han also stood up and looked at Wang Daocheng, and said in a deep voice: "As a scholar of the first assistant university of the cabinet, an example of a hundred officials, and a teacher of His Majesty, I should respect the law and filial piety." Father's funeral and observance of the system, that is the Heavenly Way of Etiquette, the eternal outline, I will not agree. ”

Listening to Zhang Han's words, Wang Daocheng was also stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Han to say it so bluntly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Lord Shangshu, the emperor has a will, you do this, and you don't get along with the law!" Wang Daocheng held back for a long time and held back such a sentence.

As soon as Zhang Han heard this, he immediately became angry, and he passed the test? Angrily pointed at Wang Daocheng and said loudly: "In front of the Ten Thousand Ancient Compendium, Heavenly Dao Etiquette Law, what is the test method?" Zhang Taiyue dares to trample on the ancient guidelines, the heavenly way of etiquette, why don't I dare to trample on the test law? ”

Zhang Han's voice was very loud, and naturally it spread far away, and everyone knew that Zhang Shangshu was quarreling with Wang Daocheng, which also represented Zhang Han's official statement.

Glancing at Zhang Han, Wang Daocheng didn't say anything, turned around and walked outside. At this moment, Wang Daocheng knew that it was useless for him to say anything, so he turned around and walked out.

The quarrel between Zhang Han and Wang Daocheng soon spread all over the capital, which was the most exciting point since Zhang Juzheng's love incident, so it quickly detonated the officialdom in the capital. With this wave of popularity, more people are reading books.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yijun listened to Zhang Jing's report, his face became more and more ugly, what is the most difficult thing to reform, not the system, not the personnel, but the ideology. Zhang Han's support for Zhang Juzheng, he can be regarded as a reformer, right?

But at this time, Zhang Han and Zhang Juzheng parted ways, for what? It is not for the Ming Dynasty, not for the people of the world, for the eternal outline, and for the etiquette.

Hundreds of officials are exemplary and literati are models, so they should obey the ancient rules and the laws of heaven and etiquette.

This logic also makes sense, but Zhu Yijun saw other things, in the eyes of these people, the ancient Gangchang, the Heavenly Dao and the Etiquette, are above all else. It is higher than personal life and death, higher than the emperor's holy decree, and even higher than the interests of the state.

Listening to Zhang Han's words and watching Zhang Han's performance, Zhu Yijun thought of three words: Guardian!

To reform the Ming Dynasty, what we need to change is not the system, not the personnel, these are all shallow, how to reform the thinking is the most crucial. The etiquette education that has been ingrained for thousands of years is really not something that can be changed if you want to.

This time it is not so much Zhang Juzheng's love as a counterattack by the rules of scholars.

If Zhang Juzheng wins love, it means that Zhang Juzheng succumbs to the rules of the literati, then you are still us, doing things in the circle we draw. If Zhang Juzheng does not give in, it means that he will be excluded from the circle of scholars.

The so-called scholars represent the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, who control public opinion, official positions, and the economy and people's livelihood of the Ming Dynasty.

If you submit to their rules, then you are a scholar and can be recognized. If you don't give in, then you are no longer a member of their circle. The person who is least recognized by them is the eunuch.

The eunuchs, who had the interests of the emperor as the forerunner, could not fundamentally submit to the rules of the scholars, so they became eunuchs.

The same goes for ministers, if they don't submit to their rules, they are ministers, they are ministers.

This is true even of the emperor, who does not submit to the rules they have made, and that is the faint king. Is there still a lot of things that the emperor's decree can't get out of the Forbidden City? If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not have eunuchs and brocade guards, he would not be able to leave the capital if the decree left the Forbidden City.

Even with the eunuchs and Jinyi guards, they still couldn't get to the place, and the mine supervisors sent out by Wanli were not the same as being killed. As a result, it was the mine supervisor and the emperor who were wrong, and they stood on the side of justice instead.

Zhang Juzheng's seizure of affection this time is actually the total accumulation of the five years of reform, and it is a battle of rules initiated by the Shiren Group, which is nominally to defend the eternal rules and the laws of heaven and etiquette. If Zhang Juzheng does not follow the rules of scholars, then he is a powerful minister, and he is not recognized in the circle of scholars.

Those who stand on Zhang Juzheng's side are aiding the evil, that is, the henchmen, just like the eunuchs, are to be eradicated. This set of civil officials played very slippery, and when it came to the Donglin Party, it completely reached the top.

The eunuch party composed of the eunuch of the nine thousand years old and his henchmen is too much to write, and anyone who does not submit to their rules will be defeated. Even when it came to the Southern Ming Dynasty, these people were still fighting and winning, and it was true that the rules of scholars were above all else, and even the death of the country was not as high as this rule.

Although Zhang Han supported Zhang Juzheng's reform and knew that it was good for Daming, he did not have the courage to challenge in the face of the rules of scholars. Or from Zhang Han's heart, he didn't want to challenge, but wanted to defend this rule of scholars.

Once someone challenges the rules of the scholars and has not been severely punished, it is a slap in the face of all the scholars, and they are smashing their jobs, and they will naturally have to fight back. Zhang Juzheng's love this time is to challenge the rules of scholars.

Zhu Yijun stood up and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, he could now understand why Zhang Juzheng broke the jar after winning the love.

Before the seizure of love, Zhang Juzheng was still a model of a hundred officials and a literati leader, but after the seizure incident, Zhang Juzheng completely became a powerful minister and a figure like Cao Cao. It should not be a person who said that he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he was no longer recognized by the mainstream scholar circle.

After not being recognized by the rules of mainstream scholars, Zhang Juzheng could only concentrate on the Wanli New Deal.

History is left to future generations to comment, and it is estimated that this is Zhang Juzheng's idea, his methods are more drastic, his reforms are more radical, and he is more greedy for power. He knew that this was the only thing he could do to keep himself and the fruits of reform, and once he lost power, he would lose everything, he would be completely nailed to the pillar of shame, and he would be stinking for 10,000 years.

What Zhang Juzheng did to his son, Zhu Yijun can also understand.

Although Zhang Juzheng's reform is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he is also a father, and he also has to consider his children. On the one hand, he educated Emperor Wanli, and on the other hand, he let his son take the imperial examination, and even did not hesitate to use the power in his hands to seek the status of the first rank for his son.

This is to save his life, on the one hand, he pins his hopes on Emperor Wanli, after all, Emperor Wanli is his student, and on the other hand, he pins his hopes on his son.

The road in front is paved by yourself, and there is no problem if you don't make a mistake in the back. It's just that Zhang Juzheng didn't expect that he would die so early, and he didn't expect his students to turn their faces faster and more thoroughly than turning books.

Thinking about this, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief, and the depression just now was swept away.

If Zhu Yijun was still struggling with the time of whether to support Zhang Juzheng's love in the past, he felt that he should take this opportunity to drive Zhang Juzheng home, but now Zhu Yijun is no longer entangled, and his heart is firm.

Looking into the distance, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Yijun's mouth, if he succumbed now, he might have to kneel on the ground in the future.

Glancing at Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun turned his head and said: "According to the cabinet's plan, Zhang Han is old and mediocre, so Zhang Han will return to his hometown." ”

Zhang Whale was taken aback, this was fine just now, why did he let the officials return to their hometowns? But looking at the emperor's expression, he didn't dare to ask. At this time, Zhu Yijun recovered his previous expression, and Zhang Whale was even more frightened in his heart.

Since the beginning of the Liu Tai case to the current Zhang Ge Lao love case, the emperor's performance is not as high as before, and he is not so mastered. But at this time, Zhang Whale found that the emperor's momentum had returned.

If the emperor was a mountain before, then now the emperor is the sea.

Calm and indifferent, but deep and unfathomable, as if inadvertently exuding great power. With a gentle word, he drove the official Shangshu home directly, as if he had done something small and could not be smaller.

Zhang Whale didn't dare to breathe, and hurriedly said, "The old slave is going!" ”

After Zhang Whale left, Zhu Yijun glanced at Liu Se behind him, and said with a smile: "I want to eat hot pot, you go and prepare, by the way, come back and eat with me later, and prepare a little chilled fruit wine." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lyusee agreed, and walked outside with a smile on her face.

Where is the most popular entertainment venue in Beijing? It used to be a green building, but now it is a pear orchard. At this moment, in a box in the pear orchard, a middle-aged man was sitting and drinking tea, with a very indifferent expression on his face.

After a while, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and the man said lightly, "Come in!" ”

Soon a man came in from outside, very thin, not tall, with a mustache, and his eyes were purring, and it could be seen that this was a very shrewd character.

"Mr. Shao." When the little man saw the middle-aged man, he smiled and arched his hand.

"How's it going?" The middle-aged man known as Mr. Shao poured a cup of tea for the little man and asked with some eagerness.

The little man took a sip of water and said, "I just heard a little news, the little emperor has already issued an order, and Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, has been sent to the scholar. After speaking, he looked at Mr. Shao and stopped talking.

Mr. Shao sighed and said, "I have said it a long time ago, these people can't be counted on, they are all a bunch of wooden heads." ”

"Brother Tian, let's do it ourselves!" Mr. Shao said to Tian Sheng: "Have you prepared all the things I asked you to prepare?" ”

"It's been ready for a long time, just waiting for you to speak." Tian Sheng smiled and said: "Those people are stupid when they read, and they think about relying on impeachment all day long, but I got the news, and the little emperor can't even look at the impeachment of Zhang Juzheng." ”

"Don't let the little emperor dislike Zhang Juzheng and want to bring down Zhang Juzheng, it's impossible." Mr. Shao put down the teacup and said, "Then do it, after the curfew, let our people be smart, and don't let people catch the beginning and the end." ”
