"Why don't the public say it, they won't let the servant go?"

"Otherwise, it will be difficult to have peace of mind!"

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.

Tan Lun nodded: "That's right, there are still them, when the time comes, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will force the Son of Heaven with them, but I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven can't protect you if he wants to!" ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled faintly and said: "If you can get a cup of poisonous wine from Your Majesty in the future, it will be in vain." ”

Tan Lun glanced at Zhang Juzheng in surprise after hearing this, and said, "Uncle, you are even more stupid than me!" What if you let Your Majesty be the Son of Heaven in their hearts? ”

"That's not loyalty!"

Zhang Juzheng shook his sleeves angrily and replied.

Tan Lun said: "But this may actually be a good thing for Your Majesty." ”

"But is it a good thing for the community?"

Zhang Juzheng looked back at Tan Lun and asked.

Tan Lun looked at Zhang Juzheng, and after a while, he gasped violently and said, "Your Majesty is not just pretending in your heart!" In addition to Your Majesty, your uncle also has the common people in his heart! ”

"Those who know me, Tan Ziliye!"

Zhang Juzheng replied with a smile.

"Your Majesty also has a community in his heart!"

Tan Lun suddenly replied, and said: "However, the degree to which Your Majesty cares about the common people of the society is beyond my expectations!" ”

"Your Majesty would rather offend your biological mother, rather believe in your uncle, and insist on the new policy for the common people of the society, because you are sure that the Ming Dynasty is so conservative that there are only dozens of national fortunes, so desperate?"

"But the situation on the surface is far better now than when the first emperor was in the past!"

"Even Zhao Neijiang once felt that there would be no more border troubles in the future."

"But why, Your Majesty has such a strong sense of distress?"

"Uncle, how did you teach it?"

Tan Lun asked curiously after speaking.

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "This is not a servant's work, it is Your Majesty who has this wisdom, and the dynasty should be the most virtuous king after three generations!" ”

Tan Lun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said for a long time: "From now on, I should quit drinking in the room and take Mr. Li's medicine seriously!" ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled after hearing this.

"Uncle, don't believe it!"

……

"Is that what sir?"

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yijun was washing under the service of the old palace maid, and learned from Zhang Jing about the way he was in the cabinet, that is, Zhang Juzheng said that he was "not a photographer".

Zhang Whale said: "Back to the emperor, yes, the ministers and ministers present at the time heard it. ”

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness."

Zhu Yijun scolded with a smile, and said: "In this case, the cabinet will be sent to the Ministry of Ministers, and he will say: 'I Yuanfu was appointed to take the imperial examination, Kuang Bi bowed, and Xun Demao wrote. Here's a nine-year performance appraisal, grace and Yilong. He was added to the Left Pillar Kingdom, promoted to Taifu, and was a count, and the official remained the same. In addition, to give the due order, write an edict to reward the double for one year, give the banquet and rites, and a son of Enyin is Shang Bao Si Cheng, in order to praise my loyalty and hard work. ”

The biggest honor in this is to give Zhang Juzheng the official title of Taifu.

You must know that Taifu is a first-class official.

As a rule, a civil servant at the rank of auxiliary minister will only be posthumously awarded this official position after his death.

But Zhu Yijun is now breaking the precedent for Zhang Juzheng and letting him be named the master during his lifetime.

And this means that if Zhu Yijun wants to be crowned again during Zhang Juzheng's lifetime in the future, he can only be crowned as a prince.

Zhu Yijun also wanted to tell Zhang Juzheng that he was willing to let Zhang Juzheng implement the new policy for him, which was equivalent to being willing to let Zhang Juzheng take the blame for him.

And for those who carry the blame themselves, how can the emperor be stingy?

Just like Wei Zhongxian can be called nine thousand years old, Zhang Juzheng is what is the title of Taifu.

When Zhu Yijun crowned Zhang Juzheng as the Taifu and promulgated it, the courtiers were naturally more sure that Zhang Juzheng really controlled the absolute power, and as he himself said, it was not a photo!

"Command!"

When Zhang Juzheng himself received this holy decree, although he did not show joy on his face, he did not want to refuse in fear, but locked himself in the room alone for a long time.

On the second day, when Zhang Juzheng went to court, he himself continued to handle political affairs step by step as if this incident had never happened.

However, after that, the entire court was completely quiet.

The biggest thing is that Chen Zan resigned from the imperial historian of Zuodu on the grounds of suddenly contracting a disease, and Liu Tai and Fu Yingzhen died violently in the imperial prison.

In short, after the fourth year of Wanli, everything seemed to be calm.

The two straight acres of Qingzhang fields in the north and south have also been carried out more smoothly.

Whether it is the emperor's relatives, nobles and other powerful people, or the gentry and wealthy people, they all cooperate more with the court bureaucrats and clear their fields.

Even, some powerful officials and gentry even personally invited officials to come and clear them as soon as possible, saying that they wanted to show their loyalty to the imperial court.

So, at the end of June of the fourth year of Wanli, the Qingzhang of the north and south was basically completed.

A large number of hidden fields were cleared, and a large number of arrears owed by the powerful officials and gentry were also recovered.

Of course, this is not that these powerful officials and gentry have really begun to transform and begin to willingly let the court cut their own flesh.

It's just because, with a family and property, they realized that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces couldn't suppress Zhang Juzheng, and they knew that unless they really rebelled, they had no other way to suppress Zhang Juzheng at present.

But it is precisely because they have a family and property that they really dare not be willing to sacrifice their bodies like desperate ordinary people, and dare to expose the rebellion.

As propertied people, they have a natural cowardly attribute.

After all, they were not the kind of true families that had a large number of tribes and had absolute control over one state and one province five generations ago.

You must know that in today's Ming Dynasty, in a wealthy area, there are many scholars in one county alone.

The key is that these scholars are still incompatible with each other, competing with each other for water and land.

Even the same clan has to think about eating out of households and fighting for clan property.

So much so that as long as the county order has the means, these people can be subdued.

And let a county order from other places but hold the imperial court's order, you can become a real Baili Hou.

And it is manifested in the court, that is, scholars and doctors from all over the world, in order to compete for the quota of scholars, and for all kinds of real power official positions in the court, and secretly wrestle with each other, fighting and involuting each other.

This kind of struggle began to appear in the early Ming Dynasty, such as the North and South Bang case.

In the late Ming Dynasty, it also intensified, and the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, the Donglin Party, the Jin Party, and various parties representing local interests appeared.

Later, it also evolved into the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party, so that many civil officials were willing to recognize Wei Zhongxian as a eunuch as their godfather in order to succeed in the internal struggle, so as to obtain more benefits.

It can be said that because the Ming landlords are too scattered, they do not have the strength to dare to argue with the imperial court.

Because once a wealthy family rebelled, the wealthy clan in the same township did not respond, but actively reported to the government, and hoped that they could annex the family business of the rebellious wealthy family through meritorious service, and obtain greater power from the imperial court.

Even, because they are far less powerful than the families of the Han and Tang dynasties, their ability to resist crises is weak, so they are afraid of turmoil, and their mentality of seeking stability is far greater than the mentality of annexing and expanding forces.

In many cases, these local wealthy families will also take the initiative to maintain the peace of a place for the imperial court, and even take the initiative to suppress rebels for the imperial court.

It is not that there have been no landlords rebelling in history, such as the Chongzhen period, when there was a rebellion by the Baitou army composed of students in Jiangnan.

As a result, the local scholars did not respond, but worked hard to encircle and suppress the Baitou Army for the imperial court, even if the imperial court had no money at that time, they had to contribute their own money and efforts to suppress the imperial court to ensure the peace of Jiangnan.

Therefore, now they can only cooperate with the court on the surface, and dare not set the table with the court.

"Zhang Jiangling is looking at the scholars and doctors who dare not oppose his own court, so he dares to act like this!"

A certain cabinet minister who planned this matter behind the scenes, at this time, whispered to Zhu Nanyong, who did not go to Fuque behind.

"What Elder Ge said was that I thought that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces could suppress him, but I didn't expect that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces couldn't either!"

Zhu Nanyong said.

"Now it seems that we can only wait for the Son of Heaven to come to power in the future!"

The elder said.

……

Zhu Yijun is also thinking about how to protect Zhang Juzheng and how to ensure that the basic situation of the reformers will not collapse because of Zhang Juzheng's death in the future.

Zhu Yijun knows that now in fact, whether it is for Zhang Juzheng or against Zhang Juzheng, they all pin their hopes on him.

While thinking like this, Zhu Yijun added the names of Ma Gui, Li Rusong, Qi Changguo, Chen Lan, and Liu Ling to the screen of the warm pavilion in his study.

Unlike the person who wants to be eliminated is locked up by him and not let people know, the person who wants to be used, he shows it directly and sticks it on the screen so that people can see it and let him know.

But Zhu Yijun felt that this would be easy for people to see, so he simply added the names of Zhang Siwei and Zhu Nanyong to the screen.
