Chapter 658: Helpless Zhang Juzheng

In the case of being aware of this, it was impossible for Yang Zhen to continue to immerse himself in the gentle countryside and ignore the affairs of the outside world, so after only accompanying Luo Yueying and Zhang Jingyun for a day, he refocused his energy on the internal affairs of Jinyiwei, in case something went wrong and was caught by Zhang Juzheng's people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that he didn't expect that not long after he arrived at the Zhenfu Division the next day, he learned a news that made him feel a little surprised and not very embarrassed - Huating County Ling Yi Wenbin suddenly resigned and left after the Xu family's case was over.

Yang Zhen still has some appreciation for Yu Wenbin. This person is upright and courageous, even if he is in the most powerful nest of the Xu family, he still dares to go against the Xu family and dare to speak for the people.

But at the same time, he is not a rigid official, and he knows how to be flexible. For example, when someone in the county government wanted to burn the evidence that was unfavorable to the Xu family, he would improvise and calculate, thus pitting the Xu family; Another example is that as a civil official, he doesn't care at all about cooperating with himself, the leader of the brocade guard who has a bad reputation.

In Yang Zhen's mind, an official like him was exactly what the Ming Dynasty needed. And this time, his contribution to the Xu family is not smaller than his own, and the previous bullet seal made the emperor have an impression of him, presumably the future will be very good, even if the starting point is low, after thirty or fifty years, he will inevitably have a certain status in the court.

Before, he was still thinking about how to help Yu Wenbin and have a good relationship with him at the same time, but he didn't expect that what he got in the end was such a result. Judging from his previous behavior, it is obvious that he had to resign from his official position not because he was worried about retaliation from officials close to the Xu family, but because he did see through the shady scenes in the officialdom and did not want to go along with the dirt before leaving in disappointment.

"Hey...... Another person who can do something practical for the country and the people is gone, is this the way of the world? Those who really have a strong heart have no way to serve the country; However, those who are good at drilling camps can always occupy the vast majority of positions in the court! Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh. But this kind of thing, he can't be the master at all, let alone him, even today, or Zhang Juzheng, who is now powerful in the world, can't change the way of the world, or no one has ever really been able to change the way of the world, whether it is the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, or hundreds of years later......

After thinking about what he could do for this era, Yang Zhen's eyes were already looking farther than before. At the same time, he is also more cautious than before.

At the beginning, he only had one relative, his brother, so he could have no scruples and use any fierce means to fight a powerful enemy, whether it was the Zhang family or others, he was not afraid to fight for his life in the most direct way. But with the appearance of Luo Yueying and Zhang Jingyun, he has an extra responsibility on his shoulders, and he has a little more worry in his heart.

And now, when he has higher ideals and wants to do something for this era and the people of the world, he will not allow himself to make any mistakes. Perhaps as the saying goes, the older the rivers and lakes, the more timid they are. When you have more and want to do more, there are some things that you can easily do in the past.

At least now, the most important thing for Yang Zhen is no longer how to find Zhang Juzheng's flaws, but try not to let him discover his flaws, because he knows that after he completely destroys the Xu family, Zhang Juzheng will inevitably hate himself to the bone, so he will try all means to find trouble for himself.

And that's exactly what happened.

Zhang Juzheng, who made an oath in front of the teacher's spirit, had already made up his mind to get rid of Yang Zhen, a thorn in his side. This is not only to avenge the Xu family, but also for their own safety considerations, and for the consideration of the reform and new policy that they have devoted their lives to.

Because behind Yang Zhen's unscrupulous behavior, he had faintly seen the young figure who was still very weak, but was constantly growing. He still has too many ideals to achieve, and he never wants himself to fall like this, let alone destroy half of his career, and for this, he must let that person know that he is not easy to mess with.

That person's status is too high, and he has no ambition in that regard, so he will not openly oppose him. But Zhang Juzheng can use Yang Zhen to give him a warning, at least until he dies or takes the initiative to resign, he can stay there in peace and do his duty.

But even if Zhang Ju thinks exactly so, and has the greatest power in the world, it is not so easy to deal with Yang Zhen, who is like a thorn in his eye.

In the eyes of ordinary people, as well as most people in later generations, the emperor has complete and unambiguous power as the lord of the world. And although Zhang Juzheng is not the emperor in name now, in fact, he is a more powerful person than the emperor, isn't it a matter of words for him to deal with Yang Zhen?

Naturally, it's not that simple. Since ancient times, China has not had such an absolute power of imperial power, and the ancestors who knew that moderation and checks and balances were the same, even in the emperor, the first person in the world, did a lot of shackles.

Not to mention that the three monarchies of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties are often sidelined, and the prime minister can almost compete with the emperor and can refute all the unreasonable administrative orders of the emperor.

The cabinet, the six branch corridors, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all institutions that can refute the emperor's will, and at the same time, they can always speak directly to the emperor, and the imperial power is almost completely surrounded by these so-called clear streams in this era. It is precisely because of this that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was scolded the most, and the various black materials that have been handed down are also the most, looking at the more than ten sons of heaven, almost half of them are crooked melons and cracked dates, it seems that it is a miracle that this dynasty can pass on twelve generations.

It was only in the next barbaric dynasty that really regarded ministers, officials, and even the people of the world as slaves, that the emperor's authority was really elevated to the point of outrageousness. Every decision they make is so wise and powerful, they never make mistakes, and if they make mistakes, those minions at the bottom have messed things up.

And some people don't know what they think, and they always refer to these two dynasties as the most authoritarian dynasties in Chinese history. It's strange to think about it, how can a dynasty whose emperor is always criticized for being incomplete, achieve imperial autocracy? Wouldn't the emperor get angry and behead all the people who scolded him? Could it be that all the ministers are so upright that they are not even afraid of death? And in the later dynasty, his holy monarchs never did anything like giving birth to sons?

Uh, it's far away, pull it back......

Zhang Juzheng is not the emperor now, but he has more power than the emperor, but if he wants to deal with Yang Zhen, he still needs some legitimate excuses and reasons, and he must find the handle of Yang Zhen's mistakes in order to let the people under him attack him.

Moreover, some of the reasons that had been used by those officials close to the Xu family before were either unwarranted or ridiculous were completely unusable. Because these are not to persuade the emperor who already has great trust in Yang Zhen, even other neutral officials, I am afraid it will be difficult to be convinced.

And Zhang Juzheng also knew that around him, there were still many people waiting for him to show his flaws. The height is unbearable, a high-powered first assistant like him, and he has carried out a series of reforms in a big way, smashing many people's jobs and offending many people, and there must be a lot of enemies set up in the shadows, and they are beyond his imagination. Therefore, in this matter, he must not be sloppy, and he must have conclusive evidence before he can attack Yang Zhen, and only then can he dare to attack Yang Zhen.

But the facts in front of him made Zhang Juzheng very helpless. Even though all the officials under him are good at finding faults, they still have a feeling of nowhere to start when facing Yang Zhen and his Jinyi guards.

Today's Jinyi Wei has already been rectified by Yang Zhen, and the previous rampant and domineering behavior has long been extinct, not to mention, the usual drills are also very attentive, and they look like the army, how can there be any handle?

As for Yang Zhen himself, he did better than ordinary officials, rarely socialized, and usually stayed with his brothers in the Zhenfu Division, and he didn't even have a chance to say the wrong thing to him.

Moreover, what makes people even more desperate is that today's Jinyi Wei is even more ironclad, and the needle cannot be inserted into the water and splashed, making it even more impossible for them to get close to Yang Zhen, so as to find his weakness.

This is also because in the past few years, Jinyiwei, as a vassal of Dongchang, has not been taken seriously. At that time, no one would have thought that this yamen, which had long been regarded as a garbage dump, would turn over one day, and it was naturally impossible to put cronies in it. By the time they realized what had changed, it was too late.

Since Zhang Juzheng took power, there has almost never been anything that can really make him feel helpless, even if it is a difficult opponent, he can handle it with his own strength. But this time, when facing Yang Zhen, the leader of the brocade guard, he finally had no choice.

Even if he is unhappy and the facts are in front of him, Zhang Juzheng can only endure it for the time being, after all, as the first assistant, he has too many things to do, how can he always be entangled in these grievances?

And then it's the New Year's Day, and the imperial court is about to completely slow down and give the officials a few days off. Next, the adult emperor Zhu Yijun is about to get married, and all this is naturally indispensable to Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, so he has to put aside the idea of dealing with Yang Zhen for the time being......

Well, this chapter contains a lot of passers-by's private work, and there is less progress in the plot, and I hope you can understand...... I can't help it, I write and write, and some of the things I have been trying to say involuntarily leak out from my fingers.

As the last unified dynasty of the Han people, the Ming Dynasty had so many negative views because of the subsequent dynasty, and the officials and imperial historians at that time were proud of scolding the emperor to show their uprightness and fearlessness.

But in fact, this is certainly not the case. Whether it is Wuzong (Zhengde) or the emperor Wanli in this book, they are all demonized existences. Although passers-by have limited abilities and it is impossible to rehabilitate them, there are still some things that I still want to say, which is also one of the purposes of passers-by writing this book.

Finally, I hope you will vote for something!!!!
