"This" Listening to the emperor's words, Zhang Siwei's heart shook for a while, but he was not a young emperor who only knew how to rush forward, but never recklessly did it, he knew that now was far from the time to replace Shen Mu. So he quickly stabilized and said: "Lord Shoufu can not only be lenient and broad-minded, but also able to hook things without self-respect, carefully harmonize yin and yang, cultivate politics, and be in the country for six years, Taicang is full, the country is peaceful, Haiyan River is clear, and the Quartet is fine." At the same time, the cavalry was reduced, the edict and prison were gradually weakened, and the person who served was also able to make a name for himself, so he was desired by the people of the government and won the expectations of the public. The courtiers are eloquent, have to do what they want, and are known as good looks that can be as famous as Zhou Gong and Yi Yin. ”

Compared with the emperor who moved directly, Zhang Siwei was definitely an old jiān cunning, he did not answer the emperor's question directly, but lavishly decorated his silent achievements. However, in the midst of the tide of horses, there are cold arrows that sting the emperor. It is clearly to break the emperor's minions: what kind of people are popular and win the expectations of the people? It is clear that the world only knows that there is a first assistant but does not know that there is a king.

Without him fanning the flames, Wanli had enough hatred for Shen Mo, and after listening to Zhang Siwei's words, he said coldly: "I'm afraid that he won't be able to learn from Zhou Gong, who is still the king of government, and learn to release Yiyin from Taijia in Tonggong!" "When King Wu died, the Duke of Zhou assisted the government of the country, and when King Cheng grew up, he returned to the government of King Cheng and returned to the fief: and Yi Yin was also an auxiliary government, but he once exiled the Shang King Taijia to Tonggong, and after three years of his reform, he was re-established as the emperor.

I was very satisfied with my own knowledgeable expression, and Wanli said sourly: "I want to follow the story of the first emperor and leave the power in one copy, but what?" ”

"It will never be possible" who knew that what was looking forward to him was Zhang Siwei with a basin of cold water.

"I thought that if I didn't agree with them, I was of the same mind!" Wanli made no secret of his disappointment and said: "It turns out that it is also a hill!" ”

"The emperor has unjustly killed Wei Chen." Zhang Siwei patiently comforted the restless emperor and said: "The minister is naturally loyal, and he hopes that the emperor can take back the power and take charge of the country's affairs...... However, in the six years of the first assistant to the country, everyone has been awarded, and it is deeply ingrained that the so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body rashly, I am afraid that the society is unstable and chaotic! ”

"The Shen family is just a courtier, but it's just the right time, it's just six years in power." Wanli didn't believe it: "In the past, Yan Song's kingdom was more than 20 years, and Sejong didn't go to it with an edict?" Xu Jie's edict was used to win the hearts of the people all over the world, and the first emperor didn't go to it with an edict? Gao Gong received his life and power, didn't my queen mother go with an edict? Obviously, the emperor has frequently played with this history, and refuted loudly: "The silent saint is not as good as Yan Song, and the popularity of the people is not as strong as Xu Jie's strength is not as good as the high arch, I can't see it, what is there that must not be gone!" ”

"The emperor is good." Zhang Siwei smiled bitterly and said: "Shen Mo is indeed not as good as Yan Song to win the holy favor, not as popular as Xu Jie, and not as strong as Gao Gong, but he is even more difficult than the three of them combined." With a sigh, he said, "Because they have a difference in quality." ”

"What's the difference?" Wanli asked in a deep voice.

"The difference is in many aspects, and it is difficult to explain it for a while." Zhang Siwei said slowly: "The most important point is that Yan Song, whether it is a high arch, he has built his authority on the Holy Family, and the Holy Family is invincible in the world, and the Holy Family will fall apart if he goes." Going and staying are all in the mind of the Holy Will, so it is not a problem. Xu Jie once had the hope of breaking through this, but after he monopolized power in the last years of Jiajing, he was already helpless in the temple. Shimiao wanted to build a new palace, Xu Jie told him that now the treasury has no money to repair: Shitang wants to continue to cultivate the Tao and serve the pill, Xu Jie told him that those pills are fake, and the Taoist priest does not believe it, you better rest: even after Hai Rui went to the security of the army, he could prevent the first emperor from killing people. ”

"For this kind of behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the temple has no choice, Yan Song has already left, and all the government has to rely on this person to manage, and this person's protégé is widely in the court, and his prestige is extremely high, unless the temple wants to repeat the pomp and circumstance of the young people, a person can only choose to compromise." Zhang Siwei told Wanli the truth hidden under that period of history.

"Xu Jie is so powerful, how could he be knocked down by my father and the emperor?" Wanli was not convinced.

"Although this is a bit disrespectful to the first emperor, in fact, Xu Jiezhishi has little to do with the first emperor himself." Zhang Siwei sighed lightly and said: "The situation at that time was very complicated, first, because of the matter of driving Gao Gao and chasing Guo, it was quite chilling to the bureaucrats, and in particular, the powerful eunuchs in the palace at that time, as well as the ministers in the court, were mostly old people in Yudi, and they were dissatisfied with Gao Gong's humiliation and resignation.

Second, on the issue of choosing a successor, Xu Ge Lao was too partial to Zhang Juzheng, and he made it difficult for Shen Mo, this incomprehensible trick made the Xu Party seriously divided, and many people thought that he was unfair and fatal to a leader. Three, Xu Jie, in the middle and late Jiajing period, attached Yan Song, married Yan Shifan, and also praised the first emperor Xiuxuan, although it was forced by the situation, but it was still a stain that he could not erase, which was taken out by the people on the high arch side in the struggle, and had a great impact on his reputation. Fourth, Hu Zongxian's case is full of suspicions, although there is no direct evidence, but Xu Ge Lao is suspected of being the mastermind behind the scenes, and the process of Hu Ruzhengong's deification is the process of Xu Jie's suspicion and denial. Fifth, silence played a role in fueling the troubles, and people kept this matter secret at that time, but one thing I know very well is that he once joined hands with Puzhou Gong to complete the plan to expel Xu Jie......"

After a pause, Zhang Siwei laughed at himself and said: "Don't hide it from the emperor, Weichen can enter the cabinet later, which is a part of the entire exchange of interests." In addition, Xu Jie is indeed old and unable to do anything, so there is a veteran Zhishi who looks caught people off guard. ”

Wanli was deeply shocked by the inside story hidden behind these records, and was speechless for a moment. The world is too complicated, it seems that I am really stupid and naïve,.........,

"So what about silence, is he even more terrifying than Xu Jie?" After being stunned for a long time, Wanli Ben relieved himself and asked.

"Ten times more terrible." Zhang Siwei's position is very delicate, he wants to kick Shen Mo away, but he also doesn't want to over-reveal the truth, because he can't be an official, but also the leader of the Jin Party and the spokesman of the Shanxi Gang. The Jin merchants and the southeastern merchants had too much cooperation and interests, and they pulled out the radish and brought up the mud, so it was still wonderful to have few things outside the court. After thinking about it, he said: "Silence is better than blue for Xu Jie. Xu Jie proposed "three returns." , I didn't take it seriously, but I was silently carried out. He regarded the "government affairs deeds to the ministers, and the use of punishment to reward the public, as a national policy implemented for several years, these two seem to be delegated, but in fact create a kind of complex situation that is full of mountains and mistakes, and only he can control the complex situation." This is the meaning of Weichen, take a plan to move the whole body, you want to move him, the court and the city are uneasy" and couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "There is also the supervision of the place, it is the same thing, only he can control it in this world." If the emperor wants to avoid the situation from being out of control, he can only slowly try to be silent, at least this time, he must not let go. ”

"Why don't you horn" frustration began to breed in Wanli's heart, making his boiling blood gradually cool down.

"Because in the eyes of the world, there is nothing wrong with him, but he is taking responsibility for the emperor." Zhang Siwei smiled bitterly: "At this time, when he resigned, he was actually taking retreat as advance, forcing you to recognize the fault, and he would be invincible." Weichen can pack a ticket, as long as you approve his resignation today, tomorrow the six departments and nine secretaries, the yamen in the capital will collectively retire. When the situation is not cleaned up, the emperor has no other way than to break his word. And once this kind of group rivalry is a habit, where is the authority of the emperor? At that time, your situation may not be much stronger than Taijia! ”

"Even if I get to that point, my attitude towards him is revealed to the world, what face does Shen Mo have to stay in the court?" Zhang Siwei ruthlessly punctured, and the arrogant bubble in Wanli's heart made him see the bloody reality, but it was not easy to make the stubborn young man change his mind: "Isn't Gao Gong an example!" "There is such a possibility" Zhang Siwei said slowly: "But the emperor must know that the time of Gao Gong, the queen mother accused him of bullying orphans and widows. I don't know what is right and what is wrong. And this time, everyone knows that the cause of the incident is Zhang Juzheng's love, and a comet appears in the sky, no matter what the official is in the end, but in people's hearts, they all think that God has defined this matter, and the emperor is wrong. Then you blame Shousuke for the fault, and naturally make mistakes on top of mistakes. So Shousuke-sama stayed, and he had to pass. ”

"Once Hua chooses to stay, he will take the civil official infantry team and go farther and farther on the road to rivaling the emperor..."Zhang Siwei took a deep breath and said: "No one dares to predict what the future will be." ”

,........." Wanli was frightened for a while, and said in horror: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Zhang Siwei smiled and said: "In the Tao Te Ching, blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings rely on. The appearance of a comet in the sky seems to be God's criticism of you, but it is also a godsend for you to get through this level! ”

"How?" Wanli spirit" uplifted.

"Actually, the emperor and the ministers are fighting until today" Zhang Siwei looked at Wanli and said lightly: "It's not about Zhang Juzheng's stay, but for a breath, no matter what, I don't want to be overwhelmed by my subordinates!" ”

Zaili didn't want to approve it, but Hua had already regarded Zhang Siwei as a guiding light, and finally said with difficulty: "Yes......"

"But the emperor has already ridden the tiger difficult, you just finished fighting Wu Zhongxing, and the Yuan Biao jumped out of the ministry on the same day, if you let it grow, the officials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, as well as those celebrities in the opposition, I don't know how many people will accuse the emperor through various channels. This is clearly turbulent, and it has been determined that the emperor is wrong. The longer you persist in your opinion, the more alienated you will be from your subordinates, and in the end, it will be your ancestral inheritance that will suffer, and the gains will outweigh the losses. And you are going to get married next month, and now this atmosphere in the DPRK and China may add chaos to your wedding. Therefore, from your position, you should not fight with the ministers anymore, but think about how to calm down this turmoil and restore peace to the court. ”

"But the emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can he bow his head to his ministers? If you continue to grow normally, it will become a dead knot that cannot be untied. Now that a comet appears in the sky, it certainly emboldens the ministers who criticize you, but it also gives you the best step? The Son of Heaven is not allowed to bow his head to his ministers, but he can bow his head to heaven. The previous dynasty is old, the sky is a bad omen, the emperor wants to self-cultivation and self-examination, like this time the comet is guilty of Ziwei, the ancient emperor is going to make an edict against himself......"

"Guilty of your own edict?" Hearing these three words, Wanli's face turned green, and he said angrily: "Could it be that you want me to make a "guilty edict," ”

"The emperor is not impatient", the three words are a little ugly" Zhang Siwei said: "But this kind of province cultivation is the only treasure for the emperors of the past dynasties to clean up people's hearts." Yu Tang sinned himself, and the world returned to the heart, and he has long become a model for successive kings to follow. After the changes in the sky, there are cases where the emperor has issued an edict to punish himself. There are more than 60 emperors in history who have issued edicts for their own crimes. For example, in the eighth year of orthodoxy, Lei Zhen was kissed by the heavenly palace, and the Ying Temple issued an edict: Jingtai was in the second year of the drought, and Emperor Jing issued an edict: in the ninth year of Zhengde, the fire in the Qianqing Palace was caused by fireworks.

In the 36th year of Jiajing, there was another fire in the palace, and the three major halls were seriously damaged. Therefore, this is a customary virtue, a virtue of the king who takes the world as his own responsibility, and does not affect the authority and face of the king. Sage Cloud, knowing mistakes can be corrected, and kindness is great, this sentence is more applicable to young kings. As long as you show a sincere attitude of cultivating the province, you will definitely be able to establish a lofty image in the minds of your subjects who dare to take responsibility and worry about the society, which can not only eliminate the misunderstandings caused before, but also win the hearts of the people, so that the common people and officials can realize that you are already a mature monarch. ”

Judge... Master Zhang is like this, and my heart is much brighter. Wanli's face finally relaxed a little, but he was a little worried: "It's okay for me to issue an edict, but will they use the topic to explain it?" ”

"The emperor has recognized the problem, and the initiative will return to your hands, and most of the courtiers are still like a father, and they will not continue to mess around." Zhang Siwei shook his head and said.

"And what about Master Zhang?" Thinking of Zhang Juzheng, Wanli sighed in his heart.

"Zhang Ge has been suffering for a long time, and now that the emperor no longer keeps him, he will only ask for it, thank the emperor for his anointing!" Zhang Siwei was sure. @。 @ko
