Chapter 21 The state has a holy monarch, and the society is blessed
In March, the wind and the sun are beautiful.
The warm light shone on the white fence of the vermilion wall, and Zhang Juzheng, who was standing on the white fence of the vermilion wall, solemnly waved to Zhu Yijun, who was sitting under the warm sun.
"The country has a holy monarch, the blessing of the society, and the luck of the minister."
Zhang Juzheng replied emotionally.
Zhu Yijun said: "I have Mr., and I am also lucky. ”
"Shame on you!"
Zhang Juzheng replied.
Zhu Yijun continued: "Mr. must have understood by now, what kind of gentleman am I? ”
Zhang Juzheng nodded: "Your Majesty's wisdom has been an accident of the minister, even if there is no minister, Your Majesty himself can be Yao Shun!" ”
"Sir, too much! And since Mr. is my teacher, he should talk too much about his mistakes. ”
Zhu Yijun replied.
"Yes!"
Zhu Yijun continued: "There is another reason why I actually used Hai Rui, and Mr. should understand it now, I hope that the restructuring can be more thorough!" If Mr. is willing to do what the ministers of the world dare not do for me, then Hai Rui also dares to do what he does not dare to do. ”
"Your Majesty's will is known. The ministers should do their best to live up to His Majesty's expectations. ”
Zhang Juzheng replied.
Zhu Yijun laughed: "There is Mr. Lao." Sir don't have to worry about the aftermath, I will protect him. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! However, it is the duty of a minister to serve the country loyally, even if he dies and his family dies, his majesty does not have to abolish the world for his ministers. ”
Zhang Juzheng said.
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "For Mr. is for the world." ”
He knew that Zhang Juzheng's words were not to offend the bureaucracy in the future, and it was okay to unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future.
And he, Zhang Juzheng, is saying that he will accept this result at this time.
But Zhu Yijun did not agree.
Because Zhu Yijun, who is familiar with history, knows that the Ming Dynasty has already killed a Yu Qian, and if he kills Zhang Juzheng again, the Ming Dynasty will be completely hopeless, and the key is that the entire Han civilization will also be saved.
Huaxia needs to be kind to heroes and kind to the countrymen who dare to do things for the common people.
Zhang Juzheng trembled slightly because of this, and did not say anything more.
"Emperor, Mr. Yuanfu Zhang's recital has been approved."
Feng Bao had returned to the platform at this time and handed over the song.
Zhu Yijun instructed: "Take it back to the cabinet directly for Mr. and officially implement the method of passing the examination!" Internal and external ministers must not neglect their administration! Although I am young, I also eat and drink between studies and government affairs, and as courtiers, they can't be beetles! If you can't do your duty, you should win the championship and go home! ”
"Yes!"
Feng Bao handed the song to Zhang Juzheng, but found that Zhang Juzheng's eyes were red.
Feng Bao didn't want to ask much.
Zhang Juzheng took his leave here and went home first.
As soon as Zhang Jingxiu saw Zhang Juzheng returning home, he walked quickly, took off his big hat for Zhang Juzheng, and whispered: "Father! The impeachment of Hai Jui has been decided, the reason is that it is a nuisance to the gentry and interference in local civil affairs along the way, and Wang Shiju will take the lead, do you think when Wang Shiju will be handed over? ”
Cabinet ministers like Zhang Juzheng have their own protégés.
And these protégés often take the initiative to be the mouthpiece of their own head, impeaching political opponents or recommending allies on their behalf.
Zhang Juzheng is no exception.
Although Zhu Yijun, the emperor, forced Zhang Juzheng to agree to use Hai Rui, it did not mean that Zhang Juzheng could not prevent Hai Juzheng from taking office afterwards.
Zhang Juzheng, who has many protégés and former officials, really wants to prevent Hai Jui from entering Beijing, but there are actually ways to prevent Hai Jui, and letting the Yanguan impeach Hai Jui is just one of the methods, and it is also a common method used by powerful people like cabinet ministers and ministers to suppress political opponents.
"No need! According to the holy will, let Hai Rui come to Beijing to serve as the deputy constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”
However, Zhang Juzheng did not plan to prevent Hai Rui from entering Beijing at this time.
Zhang Jingxiu was stunned for a moment and asked: "Aren't you worried that he will do radical things after entering Beijing, it is not easy to drive, and Songjiang Xu Mansion is not easy to explain, why did you let him come to Beijing again?" ”
"For the sake of the country, you should not choose the family. Since the saint is the king, we should be the virtuous ministers. ”
Zhang Juzheng replied with a smile.
Zhang Jingxiu also laughed after hearing this: "So, looking at the court today, His Majesty did not lenient the hundred officials, but in order to show favor to the hundred officials, would rather mess with the discipline?" ”
Zhang Juzheng nodded.
Zhang Jingxiu froze in place again, muttering to himself: "It's surprising!" Could it be that His Majesty is not as his father thought, and he already has the intention of taking power and overthrowing Feng, but still does not get rid of the innocence of a young man, and still relies on his father? ”
"Definitely!"
Zhang Juzheng blurted out another speculation of his son, and said: "Most people may think so, but the father has seen the Son of Heaven and already knows that today's Son is indeed the Heavenly Saint!" Not to be taken lightly! Your Majesty is shrewd in a small place, and he is quite sober in a big place, and today in the court, his majesty is not ignorant of his father's name to eradicate dissidents, but he just pretends not to know. It's just that His Majesty will not forgive people as soon as he gains power in words, and he will inevitably do radical things in the future. ”
Zhang Jingxiu was even more curious: "What does my father mean that His Majesty is willing to restructure?" ”
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head: "Your Majesty is not only willing to reform the system, but also thinks that the idea of reforming for my father is not strong enough!" I think I'm slowing down, and I'm doing too much for personal reasons! ”
"This ...... How did His Majesty know that his father was partial to the Xu family and the villagers? ”
Zhang Jingxiu couldn't help but say.
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "The friendship of the protégé township party, you can see one or two clues from the draft chapter ticket!" What's more, Your Majesty is a diligent politician, listening to the people in the inner court, His Majesty has classified all the people recommended by his father, and has also made a strange table, so that people can see that it is the Chu people who have been recommended more, and the same department as the father has been recommended more, although this is also the norm in the officialdom, but when His Majesty asked for this, it was still difficult for the father to explain that some of it was for personal friendship and some was for justice. ”
Zhang Jingxiu nodded: "But this Hai Rui is fierce, and my father really plans to use it?" ”
"It's not just Hai Rui, Zhao Zhenji is also just useful!"
Zhang Juzheng said suddenly.
Zhang Jingxiu couldn't help but be surprised: "Father, this Zhao Zhenji, do you really plan to recover?!" ”
He knows Zhao Zhenji's temperament very well, and his work can be said to be more intense than Gao Gong, so that Gao Gong, a radical reformer, cannot tolerate Zhao Zhenji.
But Zhang Juzheng nodded at this time and said: "It's better than His Majesty using them in the future!" These two people are more intense than their fathers, and His Majesty is also this kind of person, so these two people are used to change the system more thoroughly before His Majesty takes office, so that His Majesty has nothing to change in the future, and also let these two people abandon the powerful bureaucrats in advance. It is also necessary to let His Majesty be influenced by these two people in the future and do more drastic things. ”
"But did my father think about his own safety?"
Zhang Jingxiu couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time and said, "Don't care." As long as you want to restructure, you will inevitably lose! Moreover, since Your Majesty has dissected the traces of his heart and promised to preserve it, although I am his teacher and his minister, how can I bear the grace of the king? Negative lifelong ambitions?! ”
Saying that, Zhang Juzheng said again: "It is true that you can no longer use public power for personal affairs, you think that you can write a letter to the Xu family in the name of your father, so that they don't think about preventing Hai Rui from entering Beijing, and tell Mr. Xu that the two brothers will be in peace, and don't think about the things in their careers, and they should also be more restrained in the people, the treasury is empty, the people's livelihood is difficult, and the top and bottom are waiting to rectify the benefits of the world, they have swallowed so many mulberry fields, and they should be content, don't end up with the consequences of ruining the family and losing their reputation, even if I want to protect it, I can't keep it." ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Jingxiu responded.
And Zhang Juzheng said: "Let people invite Tan Lun to come again, because I don't need Hai Rui, my father has never dared to see him again, but now I can see him, by the way, ask him about his condition." ”
