At dusk, a torrential rain drenched the Forbidden City, making the palace walls and Zhu Lou a lot moistened, and also eliminated a lot of summer heat.

Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun had also left the Qianqing Palace at this time.

Only Zhu Yijun was still standing in front of the screens with the names of the officials of the state governments in various border towns, and he was curious in his heart about how the names on these screens would cooperate with Zhang Juzheng to complete a vigorous reform as the original historical development.

As an emperor and coming to this era, he can undoubtedly understand this process more directly, and maybe even directly participate in it and have a greater impact on it.

"Hai Rui has been used, and Zhao Zhenji has also returned to the cabinet, so it can be seen that what Mr. Zhang wants to assist me in starting will be a drastic reform."

Zhu Yijun said this to himself, and asked Zhang Whale: "Has Mr. Zhang submitted the detailed rules codex of the test method?" ”

Zhang Whale hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, not yet." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun ordered: "As soon as it is submitted, bring it to me!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhai.

Hai Rui looked at the detailed codex of the examination method he had completed with a smile on his face.

A great sense of accomplishment arose.

In history, although he was famous for his courage to love the people and not afraid of the powerful, he was also famous for scolding Emperor Jiajing.

But in fact, he has served in the local government for many years, and has been in contact with all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty, and he is familiar with the various ills of the Ming Dynasty, and he also has the idea of reform in his heart.

And it's intense!

Historically, when he was in China, he wrote several letters to Zhang Juzheng, talking freely about his reform ideas.

Although he proposed the restoration of the ancestral system of the Hongwu Dynasty in terms of corruption punishment, it was opposed by the entire bureaucracy.

But it's also a kind of idea to reform the current shortcomings, no.

Of course, in history, after the Ming Dynasty reached Zhengde, that is, in the middle and late periods, because of the emergence of Wang Xue, the thought of the scholar class began to appear independent thinking and reform, and even some people have used Wang Yangming's mind to put forward the idea that the people's daily use is the Tao and everyone can be a sage, so that in politics, many scholars and doctors have the idea of reform.

In particular, a rebellion that swept through the southeast in the last years of Jiajing showed many problems of the Ming Dynasty, and it made some responsible scholars have a strong desire to innovate and eliminate malpractices.

It can be said that from the end of Jiajing to the beginning of Longqing, Zhang Juzheng was not the only one who wanted to reform.

You must know that when Gao Gong was in power, he began to open up the sea and open up border trade.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhang Juzheng, who has the heart of reform nowadays, Zhang Juzheng would not have been able to complete the reform in the early Wanli period in history.

Turning back, therefore, Hai Rui, who was also in this period, was also influenced by the ideological trend at that time, and also had his own set of ideas for innovating and eliminating malpractices and revitalizing the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that he was born as a high-ranking person, and it is impossible for him to enter the center of the empire and become the ruler, so his reform concept can only be reflected in one county or one political department in many cases, and it is impossible to affect the whole country.

But now, under the influence of the butterfly effect instigated by Zhu Yijun, a traverser, he has the opportunity to improve the detailed rules for Zhang Juzheng's examination law, which is undoubtedly to turn some of his ideas of rectifying the rule of officials into a national policy, and then implement it to the whole country.

This was a surprise for Hai Rui.

Zhang Juzheng gave him the treatment of orchid fan, but he forgot to enjoy it, and only wholeheartedly prepared the detailed rules for the entrance examination.

After Hai Rui handed over the codex on the implementation rules of the examination law to Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng also read it carefully.

Zhang Juzheng did not revise it after reading it, and directly copied it into the official codex, preparing to play it in the name of his first assistant.

This made Hai Rui even more happy, and he had the urge to introduce Zhang Juzheng as a confidant.

"Frankly speaking, what Gangfeng Gong added, the servant didn't want to implement! The reason is that I am too lenient to the common people and too strict with the officials, and I am afraid that in the future, I Zhang Jiangling will really die without a place to be buried. ”

But Zhang Juzheng said so at this time.

Hai Rui was stunned: "Then why didn't Yuanfu change a word and copy it directly?" ”

Zhang Juzheng laughed: "It's good for Your Majesty!" As soon as this law is implemented, His Majesty is afraid that in the future, he will only be able to show favor to hundreds of officials, but will not be able to exert pressure. ”

Hai Rui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he only bent his waist to make a move.

Soon, the codex on the detailed rules for the implementation of the examination law arrived in the clerical room in the form of Zhang Juzhengzhang's performance.

But the first person who saw the chapter was not Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, but Feng Bao!

Because the clerical room palm seal eunuch Zhang Dashou is Feng Bao's confidant.

The important chapters delivered by the foreign court, Zhang Dashou will consciously give Feng Bao a look first.

After Feng Bao saw the specific content of the test method, his face immediately sank, and he instructed Zhang Jing, who was also in the celebrant supervisor: "When Xu Jue comes, you tell him, just say that I have something to say, and let You Qi convey it to his master!" It is just that Zhao Zhenji did not discuss this matter with our family in advance, as long as it is not with a high arch. But why, how to pass the test, I didn't discuss it with our family, so I handed it to the celebrant supervisor? He is not afraid that such an examination will cause dissatisfaction among hundreds of officials, and then affect his position as the first assistant, and give Gao Gong a chance to recover? ”

Then, Feng Bao wrote two names on a piece of paper, and said to Zhang Whale: "You give this note to Xu Jue, let him transfer it to You Qi, and then let You Qi transfer it to his master, just say my words, these two people have to get back up, and one must enter the cabinet!" He Zhang Juzheng let Zhao Zhenji enter the cabinet, our family did not stop it, then the people who our family helped into the cabinet, he Zhang Juzheng should not stop it! ”

Zhang Whale promised yes.

"As soon as the two of them arrive, our family will personally present this chapter of the Fa test."

Feng Bao then said another sentence, and then put this chapter in his sleeve and went back to his outer house, instead of taking this chapter to the Qianqing Palace to Zhu Yijun to see, it was regarded as privately detaining.

Obviously, Feng Bao also intended to threaten Zhang Juzheng in this way, if he didn't promise to reinstate the people he recommended, he would not let the test law be implemented smoothly.

The great eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty all had their own outer residences, and they did not live in the palace much.

After all, in addition to the emperor and nobles in the palace, a eunuch is embarrassed to live in the palace no matter how powerful he is.

And outside the palace is different, a little extravagant, the life in the outer house may be more luxurious than the emperor and the nobles in the palace.

After Feng Bao returned to the outer house, only Zhang Whale stayed in the ceremonial supervisor to wait for Xu Jue.

According to historical records, Xu Jue was arranged by Feng Bao to often enter and leave the forbidden court and go to the consul of the celebrant and the celebrant superintendent.

And now, the reason why Feng Bao instructed Zhang Whale to tell Xu Jue some things he explained was also because he knew that Xu Jue would come to the celebrant regularly.

After Xu Jue came, Zhang Whale relayed Feng Bao's words to Xu Jue.

However, Zhang Whale came directly to Zhu Yijun after Xu Jue left.

"Zhang Siwei, Xu Fan?"

"What benefits did these two people give to Feng Bao, and Feng Bao will get back to them? Among them, this Xu Fan, I have already decreed that it is useless! ”

Zhu Yijun looked at the two names written by Zhang Whale on a piece of imperial note in front of him, and said in a deep voice.
