Outside the Wenhua Palace, Wu Dui watched Xu Wenchang walk in, a little stunned, but he still turned around and walked out, the emperor obviously doesn't want you to be here, and you can't stay here without leaving.

Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Whale walk in with an old man, and knew that this was Xu Wenchang.

Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair and couldn't help but look at Xu Wenchang, it was really because Xu Wenchang's reputation was too great. There are too many willing, and there are too many titles, and no one who pays attention to the history of the Ming Dynasty does not pay attention to Xu Wenchang.

Xu Wenchang is versatile, unique in poetry, drama, calligraphy and painting, and is known as the "Three Talents of the Ming Dynasty" together with Xie Jin and Yang Shen. He is the founder of the "Splashed Ink Freehand Painting School" and the originator of the "Qingteng Painting School".

Able to play the piano, know the rhythm of music, love opera, the book "Nanci Narrative" is China's first theoretical monograph on southern opera, and there are miscellaneous dramas such as "Four Voices of the Ape", "Song Dai Xiao" and other miscellaneous scripts, this is an all-rounder.

The point is that his talent is not only reflected in literary attainments, but also in military affairs.

Xu Wenchang was Hu Zongxian's staff, helping him capture Xu Hai and lure Wang Zhi, and it can be said that he made great contributions in the southeast anti-Japanese war. Such a person ended up going crazy in the end, and Zhu Yijun couldn't help but sigh!

Although Xu Wei looked like a little old man in his fifties at this time, his bearing was extraordinary.

Seeing him lying on the ground kowtowing to himself, Zhu Yijun accepted his salute, and then personally walked off the dragon chair, walked to Xu Wenchang's side, helped him up with his own hands, looked at Xu Wenchang carefully, and saw that his eyes were clear, which was a sigh of relief.

"Xu Wei, Xu Wenchang, your name is really thunderous." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

"The name of the muddy name has stained His Majesty's ears!" Xu Wei just said lightly.

Zhu Yijun nodded, didn't care about Xu Wenchang's words, but said, "Do you know? I promoted Hai Jui a few days ago, and in fact, although I didn't know much about the affairs of Emperor Sejong's time, I liked some of the ministers at that time. ”

"Xu Jie, Gao Gong, my husband Zhang Juzheng, as well as Hu Zongxian Tan Lun, etc., are all the choices of the moment."

"When I look at the affairs of these people, I also know you, Xu Wei, Xu Wenchang!" Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun turned his head to look at Xu Wei, and said with a smile on his face: "You admire Hu Zongxian very much? ”

After Zhu Yijun said this, he stared at Xu Wenchang, his eyes did not stop, he was afraid that Xu Wei would go crazy.

In Xu Wenchang's heart, Hu Zongxian's suicide has always been a pain.

What worried Zhu Yijun did not appear, Xu Wei did not go crazy, just stood quietly, his eyes were also clear, but he had no intention of speaking.

"Let's talk to me about Hu Zongxian!" Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Wei and said with a smile: "I know that you have been depressed in your heart over the years, there are a lot of dissatisfaction, and there is also a lot of grief and indignation. ”

Xu Wei listened to Zhu Yijun's words, raised his head to look at Zhu Yijun, and his eyes instantly turned red: "What does the emperor think of Hu Ruzhen?" ”

With a sigh, Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice: "Yu Guo has made great contributions!" ”

"But he died unjustly!" Speaking of this, Xu Wei's body trembled, and his voice gradually rose: "Hu Ruzhen shouldn't end up like that, shouldn't it!" ”

Looking at Xu Wenchang, who was crying bitterly, Zhu Yijun stood for a long time and did not speak.

This is also facing himself as the emperor, otherwise Xu Wenchang would never open this mouth, so many years have passed, Hu Zongxian has been rehabilitated, but Xu Wenchang has no breath in his heart, he is not worthy of Hu Zongxian.

"The southeast is erosive, the imperial court is short of money and food, and the officials regard the southeast as a place for power and profit, Hu Ruzhen has no choice, no way!"

"If it weren't for being attached to Yan Song, if it wasn't for giving gifts to Yan Shifan, how could he be the governor of the southeast, and how could he come to the stability of the southeast today. But in the end? What happened in the end, Hu Zongxian committed suicide in prison, he died a grievance! ”

"The Wako didn't kill him, but he died by his own hands!"

Zhu Yijun listened to Xu Wenchang's words, speechless for a long time, no matter what the descendants said about Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Yijun never thought he was a good emperor. Alchemy for longevity has harmed the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe he used Yan Song to snatch back power, but he cheated the entire Ming Dynasty.

Corrupt officials are rampant, gift-giving is a common practice, and private giving and receiving, these are all left by him to Daming, even Qi Jiguang is not exempt from vulgarity, and at this time, he still needs to give gifts to Zhang Juzheng, not to mention Hu Zongxian in that era.

It is not easy for people to do things, but it is very easy for people to do bad things.

If you want to do something, many times you have to succumb to the big picture, to the reality.

Looking at Xu Wenchang, who was lying on the ground crying bitterly, Zhu Yijun didn't persuade him, but picked up the dragon robe and sat beside him, looking at Xu Wei quietly. This is Xu Wei's sad voice, how can it not be the sad song of the Ming Dynasty.

After a while, Xu Wei wiped his snot and tears, stopped kneeling, and sat directly on the ground.

Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Wei and smiled, in fact, as he thought, Xu Wei was not a qualified official, and he had a lot of literati idealism or literati romance in his mind.

These doomed him not to become a politician, and also doomed him to the tragedy he has today.

It's just that Xu Wenchang's tragedy is his tragedy alone? Zhu Yijun thinks no, this is the tragedy of the entire era and the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty.

"Comfortable?" Zhu Yijun patted Xu Wei and said with a smile: "Then talk to me." ”

Xu Wei looked up at Zhu Yijun, and said after a while: "Your Majesty is different. ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and said confusedly: "What's different?" ”

"Your Majesty is different from Emperor Sejong!" Xu Wei said directly.

Zhu Yijun smiled, of course he was different from Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing was facing Yang Ting and them, and he was facing Zhang Juzheng, in comparison, Zhang Juzheng's power was much greater than theirs.

"What's the difference?" Zhu Yijun smiled and said to Xu Wei: "Let's hear it." ”

"The grass people have been in the capital for so long, and they also know about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and the grass people thought that Zhang Juzheng would not end well." Xu Wei didn't have any scruples, he was a lonely old man, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"Zhang Juzheng is too heavy, no matter what dynasty or generation, too much power will not end well."

"What the grass people didn't expect was Your Majesty, Your Majesty has tolerated Zhang Juzheng until his death, and after his death, he was extremely grieved and loyal to the Marquis, which is a title that has never been given. Throughout the dynasties, there are two Zhongwu Marquis, one is Zhuge Wuhou and the other is Wang Meng. ”

Others are talking about Zhang Juzheng's nickname "Wen", but the grass people are concerned about this posthumous seal. ”

"Your Majesty posthumously crowned Zhang Juzheng with the Marquis of Zhongzheng, it can be seen that Zhang Juzheng is in His Majesty's heart, and Zhang Juzheng's credit is even greater than that of Zhuge Wuhou."

Looking at Xu Wei with a smile, Zhu Yijun smiled, nodded and said: "That's right, you are still the first person who guessed my thoughts, I should say that I am worthy of Xu Wenchang, and there is no void under the fame!" ”

"It's all a false name!" Xu Wenchang said indifferently.

"Does the emperor think the emperor will make mistakes?" Xu Wei raised his head, suddenly stared at Zhu Yijun and asked.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Of course, why can't you be wrong, no one is perfect, although the emperor is called the Son of Heaven, he is also a human being after all, and if he is a human being, he will make mistakes, otherwise he will not be guilty." ”

"The emperor also thinks of Zhang Juzheng like this?" Xu Wei asked.

Zhu Yijun nodded again: "I think that looking at people should be separated, his merits and demerits should be separated, no one is perfect, you can't just stare at your merits, you can't just stare at it." If you have made great contributions to the country, you don't need to care too much about some small sections. ”

"Hu Zongxian is the same, he has made great contributions to the country, maybe some things are not good, not right, but no one is perfect, and you can't be too harsh on those who have merit."

"I feel that whether it is Zhang Juzheng or Hu Zongxian, they have a last resort."

Xu Wen sighed and was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Maybe this is the bearing that the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch should have, although Your Majesty is not very old, but this mind and bearing have surpassed countless kings." ”

"Talk to me about Hu Zongxian, I am willing to listen to it, although the time is not far away, I also want to take it as a warning, and don't have a second Hu Zongxian in the future."

"Okay, then the grass people will talk to Your Majesty!" Xu Wei nodded and began to speak.

started from his acquaintance with Hu Zongxian, and his face was full of nostalgia.

In the process of Xu Wenchang's narration, Zhu Yijun listened carefully, and asked a question from time to time, Zhang Whale was waiting on the side, and there were several pots of tea, and Xu Wenchang also went out to the thatched house in the middle, and he finished at noon.

Looking at Xu Wenchang, who was crying silently, Zhu Yijun sighed and said, "Do you know why I use Hai Rui?" ”

Xu Wenchang didn't know why Zhu Yijun turned the topic to Hai Rui, shook his head and said, "The grass people don't know. ”

"I have read Hai Rui's "Law and Security", although I haven't said anything about strategy, but there are some things I agree with." At this point, Zhu Yijun stopped, did not continue, but looked straight at Xu Wei.

After all, Emperor Jiajing is Zhu Yijun's grandfather, and there are some things that he can't say too clearly.

Xu Wei understood, he smiled, and after a while, he knelt on the ground, laughed and kowtowed to Zhu Yijun: "Da Ming is from this Mingjun, God is pitiful!" Laughing and laughing, he cried again: "Hu Ruzhen, you were born at the wrong time!" ”

These words can be called a big rebellion, but Zhu Yijun just watched quietly and listened quietly.
