Chapter 24 The Ins and Outs of the Situation
Glancing at Chen Ju and Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun smiled and asked, "What did you want to investigate, how did you investigate?" The words were said to the two people, but Zhu Yijun saw that it was indeed Chen Ju, and he was obviously ready to let Chen Ju say it first.
Chen Ju took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Emperor, it's been investigated!" ”
Zhu Yijun nodded, and said indifferently: "Let's talk about it!" ”
"This Liu Tai is a Jinshi in Longqing for five years, ranking among the top three, and he is not particularly outstanding. Zhong Jinshi did not stay in the capital after that, but was ordered by the county, and the intersection with Zhang Ge Lao was not deep. ”
Zhu Yijun nodded, he knew that there were three people in the first class of the imperial examination, and the champions were destined to enter the Hanlin Academy, and basically entered the Hanlin Academy. The top few in the second class can basically be ordered to be a Jishi.
Hanlin is a minister, that is an absolute Qing nobleman, after all, there is an unspoken rule that "non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet", so it is definitely the top of this batch of imperial examinations, just like the later generations who were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Other scholars who are slightly worse than the second class, after observing the government, will be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the six yamen to become Beijing officials.
When you get to the top three, it is not very likely to stay in the capital, and you will basically be thrown to the place, and these people represent the batch that did not do very well in the exam this time. Of course, it is not easy to be admitted to the Jinshi, they are only slightly inferior in the group of people who have been admitted, and those who have not been admitted are not qualified to compare with them.
The first class is the Jinshi and the first, the second class is the Jinshi origin, and the third class is the same Jinshi background, and it can be seen from the same title that there is a big difference.
Since Liu Tai has been sent to the local government to be a county magistrate, this proves that he is not the best in this session.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, although Zhang Juzheng was the teacher of that year's candidates, it was impossible for him to pay attention to everyone. Top-ranked, excellent people, this is understandable, it is said that people like Liu Tai can't get into Zhang Juzheng's eyes.
You must know that at that time, Zhang Juzheng was already the second assistant of the cabinet, although he was pressed by the high arch, but he was not completely powerless to fight back.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun listened more carefully to Chen Ju's words.
"Liu Tai was sent a county order by the Ministry of Officials, and he went to Jiangling!" Liu Tai said this, pausing obviously.
Zhu Yijun was also stunned, went to Jiangling? Zhu Yijun somewhat understands what kind of place Jiangling is, many people should have heard of it. It's just that I used to know that it was because of the Tang poem "A Thousand Miles of Jiangling in a Day", but now it's different.
Since Zhang Juzheng became a member of the cabinet and was in power at the same time, everyone knows that there is a Zhang Taiyue in Jiangling!
Zhang Juzheng, the word Taiyue, what Zhang Taiyue said is naturally Zhang Juzheng.
Zhu Yijun nodded, no wonder Liu Tai fell into Zhang Juzheng's eyes, it turned out that Liu Tai ran to Zhang Juzheng's hometown. Is this an alternative to the waterfront building? Zhu Yijun sighed, and knew that the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Liu Tai was not so simple.
"After Liu Tai arrived in Jiangling, he regarded himself as a student of Zhang Ge Lao, and visited Zhang's family many times, and was deeply loved by Zhang Ge Lao's father, Zhang Wenming."
"At that time, the Yangtze River was diverted, and the old river channel became a large barren beach."
Wasteland? Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, saying that it was a barren land, but everyone knew that as long as that kind of place was cultivated, it would soon be a fertile field. Needless to say, Zhu Yijun also knows that this land is now afraid of the Zhang family.
"Liu Tai issued a notice in the name of the government office, identifying the wasteland as ownerless, and issued a notice to find the owner."
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun almost laughed angrily, that barren land, that is the property of the state, the land of the country, to put it bluntly, it is the land of the emperor. How shameless it is to find the lost owner.
If nothing else, if it is sold as fertile land, or as a public rental land, how much benefit is it, looking for the owner?
"Liu Tai personally visited Zhang Gelao's father, Zhang Wenming, and said that this land was lost by the Zhang family and should be returned to the Zhang family." Chen Ju said this, and the head of the stage glanced at Zhu Yijun, cautiously.
Zhu Yijun was expressionless, but he stared at Liu Tai's recital.
Originally, Zhu Yijun still had a little hope in his heart, although he didn't believe that Liu Tai's impeachment of Zhang Ju was out of justice, but what if it was really true? After all, the fold is so high-sounding.
Now after listening to Chen Ju's words, Zhu Yijun is completely disappointed in this guy, although he guessed correctly, he can't be happy.
In the years when Liu Tai recognized Jiangling County, the land of the Zhang family increased several times, and the Zhang family was originally just an ordinary gentry in Jiangling, but by the time Liu Tai left office, the Zhang family already had the title of "Rich Jiajing Chu".
Zhu Yijun sighed, the descendants of the popular son pit father, and now the popular father pit the son.
Zhang Juzheng is far away in the capital, and Zhu Yijun doesn't believe that he has the energy to take care of his father's embezzlement of land everywhere at home. But obviously, when Zhang Juzheng, the father, embezzled the land, he definitely didn't look good.
Zhang Ju is employing people, he is really cold, everyone can use it!
"Then how did Liu Tai go from Zhixian to Liaodong to patrol the imperial history, I don't believe it is because he sent a piece of barren land to the Zhang family." Zhu Yijun said sarcastically, Zhang Juzheng has many shortcomings, and there are also problems with the standard of employing people, but Zhu Yijun absolutely does not believe that Zhang Juzheng is the one who arranges official positions for people for a piece of land or money.
Zhang Juzheng has many shortcomings, but he is a person with ideals and ambitions, and he has his own pursuit in realizing his self-worth in life.
"Emperor Shengming!" Chen Ju nodded and said respectfully: "It's because of Zhang Gelao's father, Zhang Gelao's father Zhang Wenming took the opportunity to write a letter to Zhang Gelao and praised Liu Tai. ”
Zhu Yijun nodded, in fact, those barren lands still have an effect, but they have an effect from Zhang Juzheng's father Zhang Wenming.
Zhang Ge Lao asked people to check Liu Tai's examination records, and found that Liu Tai's performance was all superior, so Zhang Ge Lao transferred Liu Tai to the household department. A year later, Liu Tai's performance appraisal was on the top again, and Zhang Ge Lao recommended Liu Tai to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”
Zhu Yijun nodded, and said that Zhang Juzheng would not just listen to his father's words, and sure enough, he also did a year's assessment.
Through this dialogue, Zhu Yijun will probably be able to judge Liu Tai's personality, and he will be flattering, and he can also do the things at hand beautifully. Speaking of which, it is the kind of outstanding achievements that can be made and can also please the leaders.
As for loyalty to the country and love for the people, there is no such person, this is a typical "official". Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or in later generations, there are very many such people. What they have in their eyes is only an official position, and what is conducive to promotion is what to do.
He did not hesitate to pay something for this, not to mention that it was not himself who was harmed, but the interests of the country, so there would be no pity.
Whether this kind of person is in the future or in this era, he will be liked by the leaders, and in the officialdom, he will definitely be able to be like a fish in water. plus hugged Zhang Juzheng's thigh, no matter how you look at it, it is promising.
How could such a person do the thing of impeaching Zhang Juzheng, is he crazy?
"I am curious about one thing, how did you know that Zhang Juzheng checked Liu Tai's performance appraisal?" Zhu Yijun is really curious, after all, it has been several years.
Chen Ju was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhu Yijun to ask this question, he was stunned for a moment, but he recovered immediately, and hurriedly said: "Emperor, we found the official document that handled Liu Tai's transfer to the capital. ”
So that's the case, Zhu Yijun nodded, but has the inner factory been able to do it to this extent?
Zhu Yijun didn't continue to ask, as long as he knew that Chen Ju had a basis. Now how Liu Tai got Zhang Juzheng's favor and reuse, Zhu Yijun already knows. Originally, I wanted Zhang Juzheng to clean up Liu Tai, but I couldn't bear it, but now I don't have it at all.
If Liu Tai is really loyal and patriotic, and he speaks up, although he will not deal with Zhang Juzheng for him, he will also find a way to protect him, and there is no need now. This is also mixed with a hint of Zhu Yijun's expectation, is it really a male thief and a female prostitute behind the high-sounding crown?
Now Zhu Yijun can be sure, yes, after the high-sounding crown, it is a male thief and a female prostitute.
Holding high the banner of righteousness, youthful and white snow in front of people, righteous and awe-inspiring, behind it is just the opposite, absolutely a dirty attribute that can do anything. The so-called clear stream of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun only has two words: hehe!
Zhu Yijun warned himself in his heart that he couldn't overturn a boatload of people with one rod, but this first acquaintance made him feel really bad.
Turning his head to Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Now you talk about it, I also want to know how Liu Tai fell out with Zhang Juzheng." According to Chen Ju's statement, Liu Taiba was too late to tie up Zhang Juzheng, how could he think of folding the bullet to impeach Zhang Juzheng? ”
Zhang Whale has been listening since just now, listening to Chen Ju talk about his investigation results one by one, Zhang Whale's heart trembled.
This Chen Ju is so capable, so many things can be found in such a short time, it seems that the inner factory really can't be underestimated. Zhang Whale felt pressured, and now when he heard Zhu Yijun ask himself, he hurriedly cheered up, Dongchang can't lose.
"After Liu Tai recognized the Liaodong patrol, he did things safely and satisfactorily, and he was very favored by Zhang Gelao."
"In the fourth year of Wanli, Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, broke through the Mongolian Taining tribes, and Liu Tai wrote a good report to the capital. Originally, Liu Tai thought that this matter would be praised by Zhang Gelao, but he didn't expect to anger Zhang Gelao. ”
"Zhang Ge ordered the cabinet to draft an order, and the celebrant sealed it, and issued an order to reprimand Liu Tai."
Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and issued an order to reprimand Liu Tai? After glancing at Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun realized that it was no wonder that this guy was weird from the beginning, it turned out to be because of this. Isn't the reprimand of the order to reprimand oneself, and this is to involve oneself?
