Throw away these complicated things in your heart. Zhang Fan opened his mouth again and asked Zhang Juzheng, "How are things now?" ”

Zhang Juzheng naturally understood what Zhang Fan was referring to. He didn't raise his hand. Instead, he looked up and nodded to Ge Shouli's side. "I haven't listened to what they said. But it seems. Master Ge did say it to those people. It's just that those people don't agree in the end. I can't say for sure. ”

With Zhang Juzheng's gaze. Zhang Fan also looked towards Ge Shouli. He found. The people who spoke to Ge Shouli. Some are frowning. Some look thoughtful. But no matter what. Anyway, none of them were smiling. Apparently. No matter what Ge Shouli said to them. In short, it will not be something to be happy about.

Speaking of which, though. In fact, Zhang Juzheng has to face obstacles. And it's not just the corrupt officials. As a matter of fact. Those who are not in a proper way on a daily basis. Naturally, they will oppose the "Examination Law" proposed by Zhang Juzheng. But at the end of the day. These people all have some ideas. There have been things that have been done. In short, at the end of the day. There will definitely be opposition. But it doesn't have to be loud. After all, this "Examination Law" is to put an end to this kind of corrupt and defensive style. If anyone stands up at this time and says they disagree. The first thing that comes to mind is. He's definitely problematic. If there is no problem. Naturally, they will not oppose this kind of confrontation with corrupt officials. And it can be a proposal that benefits the country and the people.

So. Among these people. Someone who can really stand up and speak out against it. That's definitely a very small minority. More people. It's just a private discussion. Mention your own opinions. And. The subject is estimated to be the same as him. It's just a few people getting together and complaining. I really want to rely on these people to subvert Zhang Juzheng's proposal. It's really difficult.

But. This does not mean that Zhang Juzheng's "Examination Law" will go smoothly. There will still be people who will stand up against it. But these people are different from those corrupt officials. Most of them are honest and honest officials. That sounds a little funny. Since what Zhang Juzheng came up with is a good proposal. Moreover, it is an effective measure specifically aimed at the corrupt tendencies in the DPRK and China. However, the people who stand up against it are also those officials who are really honest and honest, who have served the country and the people all their lives, and who are impartial. That sounds a little weird.

But. That's just the way it is. And it's not a good reason to figure it out. The reason is simple. Those are really honest and honest officials. In fact, most of them are very old-fashioned. can really do it like Ge Shouli. He is a very enlightened person. There are very few of them.

Most of these people are stubborn. It is because of this stubbornness. Only then did they not hesitate to maintain the original intention in their hearts. Always carry out your own way of being an official. But stubbornness at the same time. But it also made them have some changes. Become old-fashioned. I don't know how to work around.

In the eyes of these people. There are things that cannot be changed. Even their usual lifestyle cannot be easily changed. Moreover. This ease is not elastic. But absolutely. Even if something happens in the ordinary. It's time not to change it. And so they are. And they can get very irritable. Even if it doesn't work. I still have to go down that impassable road. Sounds good. It's just too much to understand. But that's just the way it is.

This stubbornness. It is the most conspicuous in the government. Especially for the law in the imperial court. Rules and so on, these ancestral things. That's a no-no for these people. It doesn't matter who he is. It is also absolutely immovable.

Here's an example. back then. Chengzu Zhu Dijing is difficult to succeed. drove down Zhu Yunwen. He took over the throne of his nephew. Enthroned Dabao. Then. The Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty was still in Yingtianfu. Zhu Di who ascended to the throne. For those ministers who came to the imperial court. Kill the deserved. The depreciation of the depreciation. Stay what should be stayed. But. The vast majority of officials. It was replaced by the same team he used to have when he was King Yan.

But. Even if these ministers are his confidants and veterans who have followed him for many years. But when Zhu Di planned to move the capital to Shuntianfu. It also encountered great resistance.

back then. Zhu Yuanzhang named Zhu Di as the king of Yan. Let him be stationed in Yingtian. just fell in love with Zhu Di's martial arts. Let him garrison Yingtian is also to allow him to resist the attack of those remnants of the Yuan and Mongolian parties in the north. And Zhu Di is obviously doing a good job. And it is precisely because of these. Let him be brave and warlike. In order to succeed in the end. Ascend to the throne.

Therefore. Of course Zhu Di understands. The importance of this Suncheonfu. If only he were in Nanjing. In the future, the Tartars will attack in a big way. Not to mention that the time for the fast horse to report the military situation will be much slower. Even after he found out. Overwhelming. He took the initiative to order the army to assemble and dispatch. That's time-consuming, too.

If he sits in Suncheon. As soon as the military intelligence arrived. He'll know right away. Then an order was given to assemble the army. In that case. may be engaged in sending to the Ming Jun to meet the enemy. I'm afraid I won't be able to use it for a day.

But. Even so. When he announced his intention to move the capital. The hall was still full of ministers. clamoring to prevent Zhu Di from moving the capital. The reason is that the inheritance of this ancestor cannot be touched. There are even ministers who have been pedantic to the extreme. took off the black yarn and stretched his neck for Zhu Di to chop. Just so that he doesn't want to move the capital.

Although Zhu Di was angry. But in the face of so many people, he can't do anything. He asked them what they would do if the Tartars came.

As a result, someone actually said. Let him be crowned a prince. Lead the troops to guard Suncheon. This sentence. Zhu Di, who was angry, was trembling all over. In the end, it was a laugh. Find another prince to lead the troops to guard Shuntian. It's just a joke. Think about how he Zhu Di ascended to the throne. Do you want to do it again?

Although Zhu Di is fond of killing. But after all, he didn't kill this minister who had a bad idea. Because he understands too. These people are all reading books and reading bad brains. It's not clear what to do.

And the situation today. What's the difference from then? Although it was a move to the capital at that time. At this time, it is necessary to change the laws of the imperial court. But actually. It's the same between the two. It's all big deals.

It can well be imagined. Even if the "Examination Method" proposed by Zhang Juzheng is contemporary. A good thing for the future. But it was the laws of the court that it had to change. It's the ancestral system. And the ancestral system of this thing. In the minds of these ministers, it is something that must not be moved. So. Zhang Juzheng will encounter resistance in the future. It can be said that it is conceivable.

This is also the reason why he very much needs to find Ge Shouli to help him lobby. One comes. Ge Shouli's qualifications are old enough. And in the imperial court is the patriarch of the three dynasties. The fame is known to both the government and the opposition. It's up to him to come forward. Even those who are old-fashioned to the extreme. also had to give him three points of thin noodles. At the very least, you won't have to deny it as soon as you hear it. Rather, they think about what they are talking about.

Second. is Ge Shouli, although he is old and serious. But he is definitely not a stupid person who reads books. People who don't know how to be flexible. Although he also feared his ancestors. But it doesn't mean. He unconditionally identified with everything about his ancestors. Something new. Either right or not. Ge Shouli didn't go through three or four years ago. That's a definite conclusion.

On the matter of "Examination Method". Since Zhang Juzheng's proposal came out in the imperial court. Ge Shouli had already begun to think about it. For this. He once specially asked Zhang Fan about the specific situation. Including Zhang Juzheng's plan. and what are the specific things in the "Examination Law".

After Ge Shouli's thoughts. It is also the place where the charm of his personality is revealed. At that time. It was already after Zhang Juzheng slandered Ge Shouli. But Ge Shouli will always be able to deal with it calmly. It's never been right about things and not about people. Even if Zhang Juzheng used to be unfavorable to him. But he didn't keep the matter in mind. Three or four years later, he found out. Zhang Juzheng's "Examination Law" is indeed greatly beneficial to the imperial court.

on this. He once made it clear in front of Zhang Fan. He was in favor of it. And for Ge Shouli's bearing. Zhang Fan was also in awe.

Zhang Fan also once considered it himself. If you encounter the same situation as Ge Shouli. What will he do. He found. He may be like Ge Shouli. It's not about people. Forgive and forget. In the face of good things, everyone will support them. But Zhang Fan's heart was not sure. It's just a maybe. He hadn't experienced it after all. I don't know what will happen to me at that time.

So. For this affirmation of Ge Shouli. Zhang Fan was really impressed.

Right now. Zhang Juzheng also understands. Even if his current power is huge. This "Examination Law" relies on his current relationship with Empress Dowager Li. Even if you don't care about these things. It is also possible to insist that Zhu Yijun issue an edict to implement the "Examination Law". As long as there is the emperor's will. Even if the people in the DPRK and China oppose it, it is useless. The will must be carried out.

However. He understands too. If that's the case. How much resistance will be encountered? If it has not been consulted by the DPRK and China. rashly let Zhu Yijun issue this holy decree. Those ministers would feel that Zhang Juzheng wanted to encompass the entire imperial court in his hands. Wait until that time. These people will definitely stand up together and speak out against Zhang Juzheng.

Although Zhang Juzheng is not afraid of these. But it's also definitely annoying. And when the time comes. There were so many ministers who stood up and spoke together. And he is a Qing official in the court. Don't say that Zhu Yijun is young now. Even if it's someone else. I will also feel headaches.

Now. Let Ge Shouli lobby them for this purpose. Don't run into too much resistance in the future.
