Zhang Juzheng once came to his mansion once, that was to inspect his placement, and since then he has been busy and has never come again, and he often goes to Zhang Juzheng's mansion to intern the work of the staff.

At such a moment, besides, when he heard that Zhang Juzheng was visiting in person, he was shocked, generally speaking, if there was something, Zhang Juzheng would ask his staff to call him over, the two families were not far apart, and not letting the messenger come was to show his attention to the situation.

When he came to the courtyard, the guards had lined up to greet him, and Zhang Juzheng looked at the honor guard as if he were watching a toy.

"Yunming, you're more pompous than me here." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.

"My lord, why did you come in person, just send someone to call me over." Besides, he stepped forward and bowed.

"Then what's the matter, you are now a veritable member of the imperial court, not as good as before." Zhang Juzheng joked.

"Don't dare, I want to continue to be your staff member in my later life." Besides, he laughed.

"I'm afraid I don't dare to be this anymore, I want a Jinyi guard commander to be my staff, isn't it to despise the court, and I can't be impeached by the official to the end?" Zhang Juzheng said with a smile, and there seemed to be another meaning in his words.

The two of them came to the hospitality hall, this is not the place to eat just now, the place to eat is in the hall of the second entrance, this is just a special place to entertain guests.

Zhang Juzheng didn't sit down, looked left and right, and then said, "Is there a quiet place, I have something to say to you." ”

Besides, he understood that the quiet place he said was a secret place, and he was afraid of being overheard, so he led the way and took Zhang Juzheng to his study.

The study room has been carefully soundproofed, not to prevent eavesdropping, but to meditate here every day, for fear of noise interference, which is equivalent to the secret room when Chen Musa is meditating.

He had always wanted to build himself a secret room, but he was always in a restless mood, always on the lookout for something to happen, so he didn't have time to do it.

"Not many people came to congratulate him today?" Zhang Juzheng obviously saw the emptiness of the door.

"I just came here." Besides.

"He is the emperor's man." Zhang Juzheng only said one sentence.

Besides, nodding, it will be understood, it seems that his guess is good, the pedestrian was sent by the emperor to check his movements, no wonder with the sharp air that Zhou Dingcheng said.

"My lord, what the hell is going on with all this?" Besides, I asked Zhang Juzheng to sit down and made him his favorite ginseng tea.

Besides, I don't like health teas such as ginseng tea, thinking that this destroys the mellow taste of good tea, but Zhang Juzheng pays attention to the way of health preservation and likes to take ginseng and deer antler velvet.

"I'm also confused, it stands to reason that the emperor has no reason not to discuss such a major event with Gao Xiang, but I didn't know about it before, and Gao Xiang didn't know about it. When I heard this, I went to the military department to inquire, and the military department said that the celebrant took the emperor's imperial note to supervise it in person, and asked the military department to write a document, and then took it away, and they didn't know what happened afterward. Zhang Juzheng took a sip of ginseng tea and sighed.

"So what does the emperor mean? You won't really let me mess around in the brocade guard. ”

"You also know that most people think that I, especially Gao Zhao, have a clear mind about the emperor, and it can be said that it is not. In daily affairs, the emperor will respect the opinions of Gao Xiang and me, and will even bend to us. Since I was by the emperor's side, he decided on his own without consulting anyone, just you. The emperor has never discussed a series of your affairs with us. ”

"You and Gao Xiang can't let the emperor change his mind?" Besides, he really wanted Zhang Juzheng to persuade the emperor to retract his order, which was not unprecedented, after all, this appointment did not pass the cabinet, and the cabinet had the right to express objections to the emperor.

The actual commanders and political envoys of the provinces are at the same level, and they are not simply involved in the internal affairs of Jinyiwei. For the appointment and dismissal of a senior member of the imperial court, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Cabinet all have the right to express their opinions.

That is to say, the current official is half a level higher than his teacher Lian Daning, Lian Daning is only an envoy in Nanjing, deputy third-grade, the grade ratio is higher, but the position is lower, not to mention the difference between Jinyiwei officials and officials from other provinces.

"I already said something about you when I gave a lecture to the emperor in the palace a few days ago, but I didn't expect the emperor to have this appointment, but I just said that I plan to let you experience ten years in my shogunate before embarking on a career in office. You know that Brother Musa and the emperor and the former emperor are all friends of cloth, and it is not too much for me to say this. ”

"What did the emperor say at that time?" Besides, he asked.

"The emperor just nodded and said, very good, very good." Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly.

Besides, he smiled bitterly at first, and then laughed loudly, but in the laughter, it was not joy, but helplessness. The emperor has made a plan against Zhang Juzheng, and he has obviously really made up his mind.

"At that time, Gao Xiang was also present, and he also helped you speak, saying that you are a great talent, but you also need to be honed, especially the growth of experience, and it is not appropriate to suddenly increase the responsibility, and also said that this is like refining a sword, if the casting is not hot, the sword will be too brittle and easy to break."

Besides, nodding, Gao Gong's words were not to hit him, but to protect him. At this time, entrusting a heavy task is like giving a child a sharp steel knife, hoping that he can use it freely like a chivalrous man, and cut people like invisible, in that case, it is easiest to hurt himself.

The emperor listened to Gao Xiang's words, and also nodded and said, the words of the old man show the heart of caring for the younger generations. I was also taught and honed by two gentlemen, and I felt this very deeply. The two of us thought that we had settled the matter for you, and maybe the emperor would cancel you from the list of Jinyi Wei Jilu in a few days, but the emperor suddenly made this will. What else can we do, everything has been said, and it would be disrespectful to the emperor to continue to talk about it. Zhang Juzheng leaned back on the Taishi chair and shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Does this have anything to do with what I wrote a few days ago?" Besides, he asked tentatively.

"Of course there is a relationship, and there is a direct relationship, you went to the book to open the sea ban, and you were scolded by the official, and as a result, the emperor turned your commander into a real position, this is the emperor's reply. But this kind of reply is not a good thing, so I am not here today to congratulate you, but to sound the alarm bell for you, and from now on you may be on the opposite side of the foreign ministers, at least on the surface. The emperor should understand this truth, why he still insists on doing this, it is intriguing. ”

"I know, to be honest, after getting this appointment, I've been breaking out in a cold sweat today, and I'm feeling weak." Besides, he smiled bitterly.

"As it should be, you should be careful in everything from now on, and you must not be complacent." Zhang Juzheng is colorful.

Moreover, when Zhang Juzheng sat down, the two had nothing to say for a while.

Since the founding of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, he set the study rules for the prince and princess, and the prince and princess began to choose the most talented bachelor in the court for them to be their teacher from the time they were sensible, and they were not allowed to interrupt their studies for the rest of their lives.

Zhu Yuanzhang's rules for the prince and the prince are particularly strict, for example, Zhu Yuanzhang's prince's teacher is Song Lian, the most prestigious bachelor in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Zhu Yuanzhang held back.

Later, because Song Lian was involved in the rebellion case, Queen Ma and the crown prince tried their best to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to change the death penalty to exile.

Of course, corporal punishment of students should not be advocated, it should be resolutely forbidden, but that was a matter of the Ming Dynasty, not surprising, teachers at that time were just like fathers, believing in only two things: whips and sticks. A strict teacher produces a high apprentice, and a filial son comes out under the stick, which is a wise saying, which is equivalent to the truth.

Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to education, because he suffers from his lack of education, first a beggar, then a monk, and then a soldier, basically an illiterate old man, but his mind is not rough at all, he learns literacy with the people around him, and insists on reading Ban Gu's "Book of Han", which is not something that ordinary people can chew.

The person Zhu Yuanzhang admires the most is not Tang Zong and Song Zu, but Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, both of whom are cloth clothes who have achieved the emperor's industry, and the slaughter of heroes is also somewhat similar. The great prime minister system at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was established after the Han Dynasty, and the system after the Han Dynasty has been using the multi-phase system, and only a single great prime minister system appeared in the early Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty completely established the civil official system of civil control and military force, which can be said to be the credit of Zhu Yuanzhang's single-handedly created, this system was the most advanced administrative system in the world at that time.

The emperor after Zhu Yuanzhang must attend classes and study all his life, and he really lives to be old, learns, and rests until he dies.

The emperor's class is called the opening feast, the feast of the scriptures, and the name is elegant enough and rich in meaning.

Even if it is absurd like Ming Xizong, the government has never paid attention to it, but he is very active in class, and his favorite teacher is Sun Chengzong, a university scholar, who said that he listened to Bachelor Sun's class "open his heart".

When the traitor Wei Zhongxian was arrogant, the only person who dared to fight him was Sun Chengzong. The three people Wei Zhongxian wanted to kill but didn't dare to move at that time, one was Empress Zhang, the second was Ming Xizong's younger brother, who was later Emperor Chongzhen, and Sun Chengzong, a scholar.

Gao Gong and Zhang Ju are the emperor's teachers, and they will enter the palace every few days to give lectures to the emperor, which is a good time for them to give advice to the emperor.

Besides, his heart is full of frustration, it is said that his umbrella is tall enough to go directly to the sky. Gao Gong opened the golden mouth for him, but he still failed to dispel the emperor's mind, it seems that no one can intervene in this matter, and can only resign himself to fate.

The two sat silently for a while, and Zhang Juzheng suddenly said: "But one thing is clarified now, Gao Xiang has always thought that you are my person, and now he understands that you are the emperor's person, not anyone's person." ”

Besides, he smiled: "Aren't we all the emperor's people?" ”
