Chapter 623 Conditions of Use
All in all. Zhang Juzheng came up with the solution. In fact, it's a prelude to the cut. Of course. There are also many different places in it. He's looking for loopholes. In this way, they will be able to carry out their plans smoothly.
Truly. It is exactly as Zhang Fan just said. The laws of the court were laid down before. And the so-called before. It is the meaning of the ancestors. Since it is a rule set by the ancestors. That's not something that can be easily changed. Of course. It's not impossible to change it. After all, Zhang Juzheng made the idea. It's about changing it.
But. Now. Whether it is Zhang Juzheng, himself or Zhang Fan. Both of them knew it in their hearts. Not yet. If you are greedy now. It's bound to hit a wall. The nose is blue and the face is swollen. It's not good for their plans.
And what Zhang Juzheng wants to do at this moment. Just take it out and give it a try. Let's see if it's good or not. After all. Even Zhang Juzheng did not have the knowledge that Zhang Fanna had gained from five hundred years later. But I also understand a truth. "Practice makes sense". A great plan. Even if it seems like a seamless plan. But if you don't use it in practice. It's not good. This is the same as the truth of the military equipment in the news that Zhang Fan can see every day in later generations. And then there's the high tech. Then there is innovation. The data of the experiment was again exceeded. But there are no weapons that have ever been on the battlefield. But there is no way to gain the trust of the soldiers.
"Examination Method" is a weapon designed by Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan for several months. Now. The weapon looked flawless. The values were also significantly higher than today's standards. But it also hasn't been on the battlefield. It hasn't actually been used by people. So. Even in the eyes of the two. It couldn't be more perfect. But after all, it can't be up to the task.
And now. This flood is coming. Gave it once almost. To prove that you are not just a decoration. It's really sharp. Unbeatable. Of course. If you can find any problems. Although it will annoy the two of them. But at the same time, it can also make the two of them happy. After all, it's only on a small scale now. For such a small thing. If only you can find any problems. Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan will be able to correct it when they can. And not wait until the emperor issued a holy decree. After the imperial court really began to implement it. What questions arise again?
In that case. It's an awkward situation. Now that the decree has been issued. Then it can't be easily withdrawn. Even the "Examination Law" that has just been implemented has a huge problem. Nor can it be withdrawn just like that.
And. If that happens. Zhang Juzheng has two things to worry about. One is himself. After all, this is what he started with. At that time, there was nothing but the problem. He also has the unshirkable responsibility to stand up and be responsible. And it's not so easy to solve at the top. After all, for a law that has already begun to be put into effect. Even if the person who formulated it is Zhang Juzheng himself. But it can't be easily touched. And that way. The time and effort spent. It's not the same now.
And that's the worst of that. A set of immature. Or rather, the law full of errors and omissions was enforced by the imperial court. The scope and depth of the harm is very serious. It's not something that can be easily removed.
If that happens. No matter what status Zhang Juzheng has now. It doesn't matter who is behind him in the DPRK and China. He couldn't withstand this storm at all.
Wait until that time. Feng Bao may be able to clear up his relationship at once. Although Feng Bao is now in the same camp as Zhang Juzheng. Moreover, he also very much agrees with Zhang Juzheng's implementation of the new policy in the DPRK and China. But Feng Bao showed his intentions though. But after all, he didn't really make that gesture. And. In the midst of the law-making. It was done by Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan. And Feng Bao can say that he has not participated at all. Not even aware of it. But there was no one who could grasp him at all.
But if that's the case. Zhang Fan was affected to a certain extent. After all. Although no one in the court can confirm it. But Zhang Fan, after all, he was helping Zhang Juzheng. And he personally participated in the formulation of the examination law.
When the time comes. As long as it is the East Window incident. Zhang Fan may be able to escape with one reason or another. But it is certain that it will be affected. And. Even if the impact is small. For Zhang Fan, whether it is big or small, it is not necessarily true.
These Zhang Fan were naturally able to foresee in advance. But he understood. Even without their own help. Zhang Juzheng himself can complete this task on the premise that he still has to participate. On the one hand. Zhang Fan also has his own ambitions for this. After all, Zhang Juzheng's move is for the imperial court. It's good for the whole world. Since it's a good thing. Zhang Fan felt that he had an obligation to help.
And on the other hand. Zhang Fan is also well thought out. Once there is that last thing you want. Even if Zhang Ju is in trouble. I can't shake it off. And he, too, will be affected. But. He is not in this center. plus with the relationship between him and Zhu Yijun. He believed he would be fine.
Although this sounds a bit like Zhang Fan is really using Zhu Yijun. But that's actually the way it is.
And the other aspect that Zhang Juzheng has to worry about is this. If it really comes to the point where the matter is officially implemented, there will be some big problems. He's definitely going to take full responsibility. And that's all to blame. It also depends on how damaging things are. But even now it hasn't been implemented. I don't know how big a problem it is, if it is. But one thing is certain. Once the question arises. All people don't just go to the point where the problem arises. Rather, it will target the source of the whole plan. Go to the "Examination Method". It is equivalent to targeting Zhang Juzheng.
Until that time. No matter how big the identity and power of Zhang Juzheng was before. I don't ask who is behind him who is supporting him. In short. Zhang Juzheng will inevitably be unlucky at that time. And it's definitely bloody unlucky. And it's absolutely non-negotiable.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng is no matter where he comes from. I can't afford to lose. In the event of an accident. It's not just the world that's going to be in chaos. There is also a great possibility that he himself will die because of this. Although said. I'm afraid neither Zhang Fan nor Zhang Juzheng can say clearly. Which of these two situations is more important? But the consequences are essentially the same.
Wait until that time. Even if the world is chaotic. It has nothing to do with him Zhang Juzheng.
So. Zhang Juzheng now has to use the "Examination Method" to practice. Let's see if it works. There is no question of whether there is a problem. In addition to the problem, it is also necessary to correct it immediately.
However, the "Examination Law" occupies the word "law". It's not something that can be easily tested. Fortunately, one thing. Although there are a lot of details in the "Examination Method". But the overall framework is just one or two. And for the matter of flooding. Although it is extremely important. But there's no need to put everything in. Just take out the most important one or two and test whether they will work.
And because of this. Zhang Juzheng will not worry about what he will do wrong. After all, that's it. Then it's no longer time to change the law. It's just adding one or two new things to the original law.
Do so. Naturally, it will go a lot smoother. After all, this is not the first time Zhang Juzheng has come up with it. It's been there since ancient times. Even in the short period of more than 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. I don't know how many emperors or ministers in power have done things in this way. In not changing. Under the premise of non-contradiction. Add something new. Some regulations or something. Some may just want Zhang Juzheng to be like this. It's to test something new that doesn't work; And some of them really just want to reform the status quo. But I don't want to change it all. I just want to add something new to complete it.
But no matter what the purpose is. The means are all the same. They all do not want to arouse too much dissatisfaction among the DPRK and China.
But. And then again. That's how to say it. But look at the past. Which time is not after it was brought up. There was another great deal of discussion in the DPRK and China. And most of them are against it.
In the end, it was all the power of the person who raised it to silence these opposing voices. Do it head-on. It worked. Nature is good. But there won't be too much praise for this; However, once it fails. That's definitely a piece that can ruin people's reputation. It's the consequences of not being able to do it again.
So at the end of the day. It's a good idea. And both in the past and in the present. There are conditions for use. Not just anyone can use it. One of the most important is that. People who want to use it. Either they have a huge identity and power in their own right. Either there are people with that status behind him to support him.
Otherwise. Even if it's a solution. But it doesn't work at all.
And Zhang Juzheng wants to do it now. Speaking of which, though. That's because now only he can do that. The rest. Even Feng Bao and Zhang Fan can't. Although Feng Bao was pointed out by Long Qing's will as taking care of his life. But he was only a eunuch at heart. And Zhang Fan now. Although it is the identity and power that are there. But he lacks qualifications. Even if the words are spoken, they will be heard. But after all, it doesn't have that deep influence.
Put it all together. Zhang Juzheng's method is good. But only he can use it. And once something happens. He is the only one who has to take responsibility. There is no way to replace people who want to.
