Zhu Yijun played out the banner of benevolence and filial piety, and Zhang Juzheng had no choice but to bow his head: "Your Majesty is sympathetic to the old minister, advocating benevolence and filial piety, which is a good act, and the minister also thinks that this move is very appropriate, and the minister's vote on this matter is not as comprehensive as Your Majesty!" Ashamed! ”

"Sir, don't be too modest, this is just another thought of mine, and I don't have any big opinions on politics."

Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

Zhang Juzheng was able to give up the use of Xu Jie's second son because of his words, and Zhu Yijun was still very happy.

After all, this shows that Zhang Juzheng still takes him as the emperor in his eyes, not to the point of completely disrespecting the emperor's opinion.

So, Zhu Yijun had to inch by inch and said: "The officials and departments have recommended Hai Rui in the matter, and impeaching Tan Lun for his disgrace is a great crime of disrespect." I also have questions to ask Mr. about this. ”

Zhang Juzheng was slightly stunned, and immediately gave up his hand: "Your Majesty, may I ask." ”

"Tan Lun's matter is really excusable, because he is seriously injured and sick and inevitably coughs and wheezing during the mausoleum, the monarch should be sympathetic to the old ministers, and naturally cannot be deposed because of this trivial matter; But Hai Rui, why don't you use it? ”

After Zhu Yijun asked, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng replied with a straight face: "Your Majesty, Hai Rui is too high-minded, not friendly with his colleagues, and too strict in his work, afraid of right and wrong, so he didn't dare to use it." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "But I have heard my father mention this person many times, saying that he dares to speak!" In particular, he dared to admonish the emperor's grandfather, and was almost punished with death. My father once said that as a son of man, I hate to kill this person! However, as a monarch, this person must be reused! And since my father said so, if I want to open a new policy for Wanli, how can I not use this person and show my heart of seeking talent? Therefore, I believe that this person may not be a good colleague, but it is still possible to take his strengths and use them as a constitutional official and a righteous gentleman. ”

Saying that, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng: "Sir, what do you say?" ”

Zhang Juzheng groaned for a long time.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Juzheng didn't use Hai Jui was not because Hai Jui was too upright, stern and upright, but because Hai Jui could not become his private party and listen to him.

But it was impossible for Zhang Juzheng to say such a thing in front of Zhu Yijun, so he made up a reason.

But now Zhu Yijun has brought out all the words of the first emperor, and personally said that this person dares to speak, and he can't do without it, and as the newly enthroned emperor, he can't use famous ministers to show his heart of governance.

These reasons for filial piety and monarchy, Zhang Juzheng naturally cannot refute them.

So, Zhang Juzheng could only reply: "What Your Majesty said is that the minister also intends to use his daring words. However, there doesn't seem to be a real shortage for him in the Metropolitan Procuratorate now. ”

Zhu Yijun saw that Zhang Juzheng was in the set, and he laughed when he was prepared: "Sir, I think it's because of the redundancy of government affairs and I forgot?" Not long ago, Liu Sijie, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, needed to return to his hometown to listen to the supplement because of Ding worries, and Mr. had already voted for permission. If this person goes, isn't there a real shortage? Before Hai Jui's dismissal, he was a squire in Nanjing, and he was transferred to Beijing as a deputy constitution, which was also in line with the system of Quanxu. ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly, and could only respond: "What Your Majesty said is true." The minister really forgot about it! Fortunately, His Majesty mentioned that it is indeed very appropriate for Hai Rui to fill this vacancy, and it is just right for him to speak out. ”

Zhu Yijun also nodded, Zhang Juzheng gave him face, and he naturally wanted to praise him: "Mr. Yuanfu Zhang is loyal to the country, and I know it." I have nothing else to ask again, and next, I will ask Mr. Yuanfu Zhang to talk about "Tongjian" for me. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Juzheng responded with a solemn expression.

Although the Imperial History of the Left Deputy of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court can advise the king's gains and losses, he can also participate in the impeachment of the gains and losses of hundreds of officials.

If you talk about your heart, Zhang Ju will never let Hai Rui live in such an important position, but can stare at him every day!

But helplessly, the righteousness of the monarch and the minister is here.

Zhu Yijun is a young son of heaven, as long as Zhang Juzheng still wants to maintain his image of loyalty to the country in front of Wanli, it is impossible to refuse Zhu Yijun's reasonable opinion.

Therefore, now because Zhu Yijun personally proposed it, and the reason is very tenable, Zhang Juzheng has to dismiss Xu Fan and Xu Kun and use Hai Rui.

Otherwise, how can it be said that Zhu Yijun is not exactly a puppet emperor.

At the right time, Zhu Yijun can still change the situation and make his words come true.

After all, Zhu Yijun is the Son of Heaven.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, I plan to order Xu Fan and Xu Kun to support Mr. Xu at home, so that the two of them can first fulfill their filial piety and then be loyal, and they don't have to recover. In addition, Hai Rui was appointed as the left deputy of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his courage was used to show His Majesty's desire to seek merit and governance. Then stamp it out. ”

After Zhang Juzheng finished his lecture, he conveyed the holy message to Lu Tiaoyang, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University.

Lu Tiaoyang was stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhang Juzheng, and after a while, he hurriedly said: "I'm going to make a decision!" ”

As he spoke, Lu Tiaoyang sat in front of the case, took his pen in his hand, and continued: "It is rumored that Uncle Boss will only use Huguang fellow villagers and relatives and friends for personal gain, and he doesn't like Hai Rui who is loyal and outspoken, so he has repeatedly been recommended by ministers and not used. I just don't believe it, otherwise why would I be recommended by your uncle to join the cabinet? No, now that you have mentioned Hai Jui in front of Your Majesty, and appointed him as the deputy constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it can be seen that you are not not using it, but you have always wanted to wait until an important position appears, and reuse it! In this way, it will undoubtedly make the rumors self-defeating! ”

Zhang Juzheng could only smile bitterly and said: "This is also Your Majesty's heart to make the country prosperous, otherwise, how can a servant be a virtuous person for the country?" ”

After hearing this, Lu Tiaoyang smiled even more and asked, "What does Uncle mean by this?" ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "You tell Ma Ziqiang and them that the next time they have a feast, they don't have to use the trick of deliberately omitting words to test whether Your Majesty is smart or not!" Today, if it weren't for the servants to intercede for them, the Son of Heaven would only be afraid that he would have to change his official position because of this! ”

Lu Tiaoyang suddenly realized: "Shangguo is smart!" ”

Then, Lu Tiaoyang played the old tune to Zhang Juzheng again: "Uncle, you are so smart, you should go to Feng Bao!" ”

Zhang Juzheng did not reply again.

Although Zhang Juzheng did not obstruct Zhu Yijun's political opinions from becoming a reality throughout the whole process, after he returned home, he called his house slave You Qi over and commanded sharply: "Go see Xu Jue immediately!" Ask him who told Hai Rui in front of His Majesty, and let His Majesty know that Xu Fan and Xu Kun are the sons of Mr. Xu! ”

"Yes!"

You Qi agreed and went immediately.

Xu Jue is Feng Bao's confidant, and has been responsible for conveying news to Zhang Juzheng on behalf of Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng is here, and the person who is responsible for receiving and conveying Zhang Juzheng's opinions and news to Feng Bao is Zhang Juzheng's slave You Qi.

You Qi and Xu Jue are the mouthpieces of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng's collusion.

And because of this, Feng Bao soon learned about this from his henchman Xu Jue, and couldn't help but be furious: "Our family is just recuperating from an injury, and he Zhang Hong dares to bite his tongue in front of the emperor?!" Our family isn't dead yet! ”
