Chapter 273: Talking and laughing determines the national policy

Wanli was not a fool, maybe he didn't react at the time, and when he went to court the next day after the heated debate, his face was much gloomy.

However, no one mentioned whether the Ping An brand was reasonable or not, and no one mentioned the impeachment of Wang Tong, and the General Administration Department did not continue to receive any comments about Wang Tong.

Zhang Juzheng just said that on the way to and from here, he saw the flooding of academies in various provinces, and people with good intentions gathered in the academies to give lectures and discuss the government, and local officials and even the feudal royal clans went to make friends, and sometimes the government actually wanted to accommodate the teachers and students in these academies, which was not conducive to governance.

Emperor Wanli naturally does not have any opinions on such matters, how Zhang Juzheng handles it, he must follow it.

Listening to Zhang Shoufu's eloquent talk, the ministers next to him felt a little stunned, thinking that the academy gathered people to deal with harmful governance, and the incense gathering in Tianjin would be too peaceful in the world, and the first assistant was the first assistant.

A few simple words, the court dispersed early, Zhang Juzheng wanted to start the course after the court meeting immediately, but Wanli said that Mr. had a hard way back, and he would wait for July to reopen the course.

The court debated fiercely, the bigwigs were almost dead, and they also brought out the goddess of the Queen Mother, and the ministers were far less calm in their hearts than at the court meeting.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, they went home, and they did not talk to each other, so much movement must not be said to subside, there must be aftermath, and they should not accidentally get involved.

After Zhang Juzheng dispersed, the sedan chair did not go back to the house directly, but turned to a mansion outside the east gate of the imperial city, which was famous in Beijing, which was "Shuanglinju".

Feng Bao is called Shuanglin, this is his private residence outside the palace, the street in front of the door has always been clean and abnormal, and if he passed by, he was stopped and asked at the two entrances of the street.

Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Shuntianfu, and Wucheng Terracotta Division have all arranged manpower guards here, and of course, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, is not among the people who hinder the interrogation.

Stopped in front of the door, Zhang Juzheng got off the sedan chair and entered, the housekeeper of the Feng Mansion respectfully greeted the door, Feng Bao had already walked over from the second door, hugged his fists to greet him, inside and outside, Feng Bao's rank was a little higher than Zhang Juzheng, and he did not go out of the door to greet him.

After bowing to each other and entering the study, Feng Bao waved his hand and repelled left and right, but Feng Bao did not speak, just picked up the tea bowl and skimmed off the foam, waiting for Zhang Juzheng to speak.

"Brother Shuanglin, Your Majesty has just come of age, and I don't know about some taboos, Brother Shuanglin and Gonggong Zhang still have to say a few more words, who can't understand the name of this Ping An brand, can it be passed by changing the name, Your Majesty wants to really go your own way, there will be an uproar in the world, what benefits can you and I get as courtiers?"

Zhang Juzheng's words were unceremonious, this is also a habit all along, the relationship between the two sides is too close, so there is not much humility and flattery in the attitude, Feng Bao shook his head there, and said with a wry smile:

"Long live Lord used to be an obedient child, and yesterday it was said that it was so the court, and our family was also surprised."

After speaking, he took a sip of tea and said with some emotion:

"Long live the appearance of the hard top, I looked worried at the time, but after thinking about it, I felt happy, long live the real dragon son in the end, long live the lord in the end!"

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he was in a slight trance, and then sighed and said:

"Your Majesty has his own ideas, how can he be unhappy if he can be the master, a teacher, or a courtier, but this piece can't be touched, doesn't Zhang's family know that digging in the soil is a dead wealth, so doing business and working is living wealth? If you touch it, Zhang can't even do this thing of clearing the acres of land and reforming the fields."

"Master Zhang doesn't have to be in such a hurry, let's just talk about it when we look at the air, you too, there is a Tianjin Wei on the left and right, a sesame-sized city, if you want to do a safe brand, he is, why fight so desperately and not retreat, make the Long Live Lord so angry, our family looks at the face of the Long Live Lord today, I am afraid that I have also figured it out, and I will be even more angry."

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said helplessly:

"Yesterday, if Lu Guangming didn't say that cruel words, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get off the stage, but things are getting more and more stiff, what else can I do now, the implementation of the peace brand in Beijing and Tianjin, it should not be seen, and everyone should not mention this matter in the future, but if you want to form a law and spread it, it must not be, and the officials and ministers will inevitably fight to the death when the time comes."

Feng Bao nodded and said in a deep voice:

"At that time, our family will report to the Queen Mother and ask her to be the old man."

In response, Feng Bao couldn't help but say again:

"Wang Tong's kid didn't do anything wrong in Tianjin Wei, and the money wasn't looted from his pocket, so why bother with him. Long live Lord is protecting him like this, and he wants to be impeached, isn't it boring to ask for himself? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng sat up straighter, his face became serious, and he said:

"Gonggong Feng, Your Majesty stumbled at the court meeting yesterday, but who doesn't know that he said that in the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion, this Wang Tong made all kinds of clever things to bewitch the saint, and there are crooked heresies, which made His Majesty close to him, I thought that expelling Wang Tong from the capital could isolate the villain, but I didn't expect that His Majesty still had no contact with him, he was a small pawn, but by chance he got to this position step by step, Your Majesty is a young man, Wang Tong is not very old, if the time comes, what will be the situation?"

Feng Bao groaned silently, and Zhang Juzheng continued loudly:

"Such military ministers, only trying to make meritorious contributions, but they don't know how to sympathize with the people's livelihood and suffering, don't know how to love the hearts of the people, and are bent on welcoming Your Majesty, they don't know how to converge at a young age, and they will become a big harm in the future, Gonggong Feng, isn't this delicious restaurant like a leopard room in the Zhengde period, Jiang Bin, Qian Ning, how did they get flattered back then?"

During the Zhengde period, there was another building outside the imperial city, captive tigers, leopards and beasts, the Zhengde Emperor and the military generals and monks went in and out together, ignoring the government and politics, and were considered to be the first class absurd, Jiang Bin and Qian Ning were the cronies of the military generals who tried to cause trouble in the world.

This example is said over and over again, it is really boring to hear, although Feng Bao nodded, his face was unimpressed, this face, Zhang Juzheng naturally saw it in his eyes, he paused, lowered his voice and said:

"When Emperor Sejong was the first cronie, who was Lu Pinghu, Emperor Sejong I had a confidant of the inner prison and the outer minister, and he was the one who could be trusted, did Gonggong Feng want this Wang Tong to become the second Lu Bing?"

Lu Bing was the commander of the Jinyi Guard during the Jiajing period, and he was the only person in the Ming Dynasty who had three dukes and three orphans, and his power was unparalleled, and Emperor Jiajing's trust in him exceeded that of everyone, whether it was the eunuch of the inner court or the minister of the outer court, and even Yan Song was behind him.

Hearing Zhang Juzheng make this analogy, Feng Bao was stunned, slowly put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and said indifferently:

"Wang Tong, this kid is smart-minded, but he is close to Gonggong Zhang's side, he is young, some things may not be understood, and he uses secret letters to contact Wan Sui Ye all day long, so as not to let him know the severity and do wrong, but harm himself and affect Wan Sui Ye."

Hearing Feng Bao say this, Zhang Juzheng's face softened, Feng Bao was keeping an eye on this side, and the power of the secret conversation between Dongchang and the palace would probably tilt over, as long as there was anything wrong, it would be much easier to do.

"Zhang Cheng, isn't it over there?"

"Don't think about it too much, Zhang Cheng also talked to our family yesterday, and there are some things that Your Majesty doesn't even know about his side, Wang Tong is indeed capable, and he tosses out of grace by punching and kicking."

After a few simple words, Feng Bao groaned and said:

"Dongchang reported something, presumably Jinyi guard Liu Shouyou also informed Lord Zhang, yesterday Zhang Ziwei (Zhang Siwei) was said to have lost his temper after returning home, can Lord Zhang know about this matter?"

Zhang Juzheng nodded, took a sip of the tea bowl and said:

"It is said that it is a quarrel between his wife and concubine, but the detective in the house said that the people under him had errands that were not done, and the errands of Ziwei's cabinet and the military department were handled properly, and he was ignored in private affairs."

Feng Bao nodded with a smile and said:

"Lao Lin, who was the overseer of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, brought his younger brother into the Jingshi, and it is said that a big family built a temple at home, and asked his younger brother to go back to be a mage sitting in the house, and Lord Zhang said hello everywhere and took care of it."

Zhang Juzheng nodded, and Feng Bao said with a smile:

"Lao Lin is not as good as before, although sooner or later he will follow Prince Lu to the domain, but now the Queen Mother appreciates it, and he is not selfish in the palace, it is really prosperous, he has always been flattering to our family, and this time he is looking for our family to take care of it, which can be regarded as giving our family a face."

The elder brother of the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch dares to provoke anyone in the capital, this Lin Shulu does this, it is nothing more than a loss of sincerity, because of the balance of power, Feng Bao has always been unable to reach out in the imperial eunuch, this time Lin Shulu's kind attitude did make him feel happy.

This is just a trivial matter, casually speaking, Zhang Juzheng said:

"Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen, met with this official in Tianjin, saying that the army in Jizhen was quite effective, Altan Khan and his brother are now at odds, and the internal strife of the Jitan Department is a good opportunity, can the soldiers and horses of Jizhen fight once in the late autumn, maybe there will be a big victory, this matter should have been given to Gonggong Feng's side three days ago, I don't know what the attitude of the palace is?"

"The Empress Dowager Cisheng said that since there is a peace discussion, then it is better for us not to provoke first, after all, it was decided by the first emperor at that time, and now that the treasury is good, there is not much time, so it is better to use less swords."

Zhang Juzheng shook his head, did not continue on this issue, and said again after hesitation:

"Your Majesty is getting married in September, I don't know who is the person who presides over the wedding?"

"Yesterday, it was said that our family was in the palace together, these few times the court debated fiercely, Shen Shixing has always been silent, and he is honest and square, but he is elected, what does Lord Zhang think?"

"Ru Mo (Shen Shixing) is dignified and can take on this great responsibility!"

Presiding over the wedding of the Son of Heaven is rare and important for ministers, and after presiding, they are generally promoted or used.
