The edict of sin, commonly known as a review, is a written article in which the emperor, as the lord of the people, admits his mistakes to his subjects and asks for forgiveness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Generally speaking, when the country suffers from major natural disasters, such as earthquakes and successive droughts, which may lead to national turmoil, the emperor will admit to heaven that he has lost his morality, and beg God to only condemn himself and not harm his own people. Of course, the real intention of this kind of guilty edict is only to stabilize the people's hearts and show that the emperor cares about the people of the world.

Another very common sin appeared after the emperor's death. In this article, which can be called both a testament and an edict, the emperor often lists all the faults of his succession to the throne to show that he knew the wrongs of yesterday before he died. But in fact, most of this guilty edict was not from the true intention of the dead emperor, but was mostly concocted by the ministers under him to appease the people.

Although these two kinds of guilty edicts slapped the emperor in the face, they were often acceptable for the sake of the overall situation or the successors. But Wanli's edict this time is not the same at all, this is really slapping himself in the face, and it is even more dignified to hurt the majesty of the Son of Heaven to issue an edict because of such a trivial matter.

Although Wanli is still young and does not actually hold much real power, he also knows very well how much influence this will have on him, and how many subjects will look at him with strange eyes.

Originally, because he felt that compared with being abolished, such a criminal edict was already the lightest punishment, and he could barely accept such a result. But now, after listening to Yang Zhen's analysis and being convinced that his throne could not be threatened because of such a trivial matter, he naturally hated Zhang Juzheng, who had contributed to this crime and made himself lose face.

But even so, all Wanli could do was to grit his teeth and curse a few words in his heart, even in front of Yang Zhen, he didn't dare to say anything more for a while. Because Zhang Juzheng's pressure on him is too strong, since he ascended the throne, Zhang Juzheng has been in charge of the government as the first assistant, and he has taught him everything, this is an existence like a master and a father, so that even if he has just been born to resist, he will quickly dispel it because of the long-standing fear.

Yang Zhen looked at the emperor who was silent at first, and then gritted his teeth with a look of resentment, but finally seemed helpless and calmed down, and vaguely guessed something in his heart. But as a courtier, he couldn't openly instigate the emperor to fight with the first assistant, so he could only ask sideways: "Your Majesty, do you still have anything on your mind?" In fact, this incident has passed, and as long as His Majesty can be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, it will be impossible to have such a difficult situation again. ”

"Be cautious in what you say and do? ......"Wanli is very sensitive at this moment, and when he hears this word, he feels a little uncomfortable. He is obviously the king of a country, but he can't do anything, and even if he wants to live a little more comfortable and casual, someone will immediately come out to stop him, what is this matter?

Wanli remembers very well that during the Chinese New Year last year, he wanted to prepare more lanterns to decorate the harem, but he was also reported to Zhang Juzheng. As a result, Zhang Juzheng not only did not approve his request, but also took the opportunity to educate him about the virtue of being a diligent and thrifty king.

At that time, he felt very disapproving, I am the king of a country, what is wrong with just letting people prepare more lanterns, and it doesn't cost much silver, why will Master Zhang raise it to the height of governing the country and even destroying the country?

Another time, because he was young and playful, he didn't listen to Master Zhang's class at the specified time. As a result, this provoked Zhang Juzheng's anger, and after inviting the Queen Mother, he even made him kneel to listen to the lecture. At that time, the young Wanli only felt scared, but now that he thinks about it, it is another shame!

All this, Wanli remembered many past events under the reminder of Yang Zhen's words, and every thing that made him feel angry when he thought of it, just thinking that one day he could completely get rid of Zhang Juzheng's shackles. But thinking about it again, the entire Ming Empire is now managed by Master Zhang, he is not only his own master, but also the head of the cabinet who is powerful in the world, and the evil thoughts that have just been born have dissipated again, he really doesn't have the courage and ability to really be an enemy of Zhang Juzheng.

After thinking about it for a long time with some contradictions, in exchange for a long sigh, Wanli said in a tone that was extremely incommensurate with his age: "Yang Qing, why do you say that I am so difficult to be the son of heaven?" No matter how big or small, he can't be the master, and Master Zhang is ...... I really don't know what to do! ”

Feeling that the emperor's heart was more than enough but his strength was insufficient, Yang Zhen was a lot more determined in his heart. What he was most afraid of was that the emperor had been suppressed by Zhang Juzheng for a long time, and in the end he couldn't even have the idea of resisting. But now it seems that he is just cowering because he doesn't know where to start, and there is still a chance to convince.

So after a little muttering, Yang Zhen suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty's situation is indeed not easy, but the minister has the courage to ask, how does Your Majesty think that the current situation compares with when Sejong first ascended the throne?" ”

"Huh?" Wanli was stunned when he heard this.

The Shizong in Yang Zhen's mouth is Wanli's grandfather, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, as his grandson, Wanli naturally knows this grandfather's past achievements.

Jiajing entered the palace as the emperor as a vassal king because Emperor Zhengde did not leave any heirs after his death, and at the same time, there were no brothers who could inherit the throne. He was only fifteen years old at the time, but the circumstances he faced were much more dangerous than Wanli's.

Because his ability to inherit the throne was elected by the ministers, the ministers naturally did not have any respect for this young son of heaven. Especially Yang Tinghe, the first assistant at that time, didn't take Jiajing in his eyes, and only regarded him as a marionette, who could be manipulated by himself at will.

But the fifteen-year-old little emperor, with his cleverness and perseverance, started a series of battles with his ministers at the beginning of his succession. And this battle not only allowed him to enter the palace as the son of his father Xingxian Wang, but also completely made a name for himself.

Then came the years-long dispute over the Great Rites, which not only carried his father into the Taimiao, but also completely resigned and returned to his hometown with Yang Tinghe, such an important minister of the three dynasties, and the first assistant of the cabinet, thus starting his dictatorship for more than 40 years.

Although many people at the time and later generations disagreed with Jiajing's actions, believing that he was completely selfish, in Wanli's eyes, his own emperor did all the feats that made him bow down, and sometimes he even fantasized that he could play with his ministers like Emperor Sejong.

And at present, the environment he is in is a bit like Jiajing--a young genius, and there is a powerful cabinet chief assistant who suppresses him-but he obviously can't take back the power of the government from Zhang Juzheng like his grandfather.

Now, Yang Zhen asked him this so directly, and after thinking for a while, Wanli said helplessly: "Honestly, my situation is better than that of the emperor. ”

In fact, Jiajing came to Beijing at that time only as a vassal king, and he had no foundation in the court. If Yang Ting and them dared to risk the world, it was also possible to send him back to An Lu's hometown. And now Wanli obviously has no worries about this, with two generations of his father and ancestors as the foundation, his throne is very stable.

Seeing him answer like this, Yang Zhen smiled slightly: "In that case, what is Your Majesty to be afraid of?" You are the Son of Heaven and the Lord of the subjects of the world, and you can't even take back your power? I think that Emperor Shizong can take back the power from Yang Tinghe, and Emperor Qin and Han Wu can also snatch back the imperial power from the hands of powerful ministers or relatives, and Kang ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly thought that Kangxi Douao worship was a matter of the future, so he quickly stopped, and only after a pause did he say: "Then Your Majesty can also follow the example of the ancient sages and restore the majesty of the emperor!" ”

The people mentioned by Yang Zhen are all well known to Wanli as the emperor, and they are also the objects he worships and yearns to become. Listening to it in his ears now, he couldn't help but make his heart surge: "Yes, since I am the Son of Heaven, can't I take back my own power like them?" At that time, no one will dare to lecture me at will, and let me write the edict of Narauszi and lose face! ”

However, this kind of pride can only last for a short time, and soon, Wanli has a bitter face: "This is easy to say, but it is difficult to do." I really can't think of any way to take power back from Master Zhang. Thinking that the emperor still had Zhang Cong and others as Olympic aid at that time, and I ...... Although Yang Qingzhi is loyal and brave, you are not a courtier after all. Although Yang Zhen did not mention that he wanted Wanli to be an enemy of Zhang Juzheng before, the example he gave was already obvious, and Wanli casually told his true intentions.

Since the emperor had made his words clear, Yang Zhen did not continue to speak cryptically: "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much. Although it seems that the DPRK and China are all old henchmen of Zhang Ge, there are almost no available people. Dan Chen believes that as long as His Majesty is willing to make up his mind, there are people who will stand up and fight against Zhang Gelao. Don't look at his current glory, in fact, he has already made enemies everywhere, and the new laws and decrees he promulgated have touched the interests of too many people, and it is impossible for those officials and gentry to sit idly by and wait for death. ”

Saying that, Yang Zhen squinted his eyes slightly, and said firmly: "And there is one thing, maybe Zhang Ge himself doesn't know, in fact, he has already made a big mistake." As long as the time comes, Your Majesty will use this as a breakthrough, and I don't believe that I can't regain power! ”

"What is Yang Qing referring to?" Wanli asked in surprise, and his heart was also excited.
