Chapter Ninety-Eight: Heirs Matter
After Zhang Juzheng thought so, he instructed Zhang Jingxiu: "You go and invite Chen Fuyuan and Xu Vice Xian again." ”
Zhang Jingxiu was a little puzzled after hearing this: "Didn't my father already talk to them?" ”
"Let them complain!"
Zhang Juzheng said a word, and said: "You can't let Your Majesty feel that his husband will be a blessing after returning to his hometown, and no longer ask about the people's suffering!" I don't even want to ask about the specifics of the New Deal. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng looked at the clear water and blue sky outside the cabin and said: "The grace of heaven is unpredictable, no one knows, the person you have personally taught will really kick you aside after learning many skills, and use someone who is more in line with his heart." ”
"Even, although you can retreat bravely, it also covers up your light."
After Zhang Juzheng said this, he coughed because of the sudden attack of a cold wind, and wrinkled his brows, and said to himself: "I don't know if Your Majesty will write to urge you to ask about the itinerary?" ”
……
"Where is the gentleman now?"
Qianqing Palace.
As soon as Zhu Yijun came back from seeing the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, he asked Zhang Whale about Zhang Juzheng's itinerary.
Zhang Whale replied: "I guess I've arrived in Jiangling now." ”
Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "But the latest news about him?" ”
Zhang Whale nodded: "Yes, according to the report of Mr. Yuanfu Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang heard that His Majesty had met Gao Gong and asked Prime Minister Yin Shaobao to do military affairs in the five provinces, so he met Chen Rui, the governor of Huguang, and Xu Xuemo, the imperial historian of Yunxiangdu, and asked in detail whether his clansmen had obstructed the Qingzhang, and in addition, Mr. Zhang personally went to see King Xiang and asked him about the Qingzhang affairs and the difficulties of the clan. ”
Zhu Yijun smiled slightly after hearing this: "Sir, this is too much to worry about." ”
Although Zhu Yijun said this, he was still happy in his heart.
Because he knows that this shows that Zhang Juzheng still cares about the position of the first assistant.
Otherwise, Zhang Juzheng would not have started to feel pressure because he knew that Gao Gong seemed to have greater trust from the emperor, and he cared more seriously about state affairs, so he didn't do the same when he returned to Huguang, just because he knew that the emperor couldn't do without him, and when he returned to his hometown, he only cared about showing his power.
"Send an edict to the Ministry of Rites and ask him to send a chief to Gangneung, and at the same time as paying homage to Mr. Yu's father, ask him about his itinerary, inform Mr. Yu, and say that Mr. I hope to return quickly!"
Zhu Yijun said because of this.
Zhang Whale hurriedly complied with the order.
After Zhu Yijun said, he said: "Go and pass the high arch to see me." ”
Zhu Yijun planned to ask Gao Gong about some national policies again, and by the way, he also continued to put pressure on Zhang Juzheng, letting him know that he, a student, might trust Gao Gong more at any time, and if he didn't return to Beijing as soon as possible to continue to promote the new policy.
However, Zhu Yijun's frequent summoning of Gao Gong not only made Zhang Juzheng feel pressure, but also many ministers in the DPRK and China felt pressure.
Because they all know that Gao Gong can be more radical than Zhang Juzheng.
If the emperor regained his trust in Gao Gong, if nothing else, he was afraid that more ministers' families would be convicted of raiding.
After all, if the high arch is ruthless, he will not care about the friendship of Shilin even more.
For Zhu Yijun, although Gao Gong was radical and intended to make the imperial court reform more thoroughly, he also knew from Gao Gong what really needed to be solved in the future.
For example, the problem of uneven development between the north and the south, and the fact that the imperial court should continue to strengthen the collection of taxes in the south for the sake of the stability of the entire Ming Dynasty, but at the same time should reduce or reduce the taxes in the north, so as to avoid chaos in the north and the south will be difficult to protect itself in the future.
"Your Majesty, for example, the majority of the Corporal people are from the south, and this phenomenon will become more and more serious;"
"And the southerners will use etiquette and morality to demand that the imperial court take a light and meager policy, and coerce the imperial court not to use troops on a large scale, which can be seen in this seizure of affection;"
"Therefore, the minister believes that His Majesty will really want to suppress the power of the scholars with imperial power in the future, and should favor the northerners;"
"Because his uncle is also a southerner, and he is a student of Xu Huating, he still has some favoritism towards the southerners, so he only dares to clear the zhang and further open the sea, but does not dare to directly say that the imperial examination system will be changed, and the quota will be increased in the north, and even in the southwest, so that there can be local scholars in these places who can be listed in the court, so that His Majesty can know that although the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River are heavy, the people in the north are poor, and the conflict between Han and Yi in the southwest is intensified."
"I didn't dare to directly suggest that Your Majesty attack the wealthy people of Nanzhi, but in fact, the chaos in the temple was caused by the participation of the wealthy people of Nanzhi!"
"Otherwise, it would not be necessary to train the common people as recruits to pacify the Japanese, because the Nanzhiwei Station has already been infiltrated by it."
On this day, Gao Gong talked eloquently in front of Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Yijun said after hearing this: "What Taifu means, I understand, but if Taifu was not replaced by Mr. back then, would he clear the acres of land?" ”
Gao Gong was stunned for a moment and said, "The minister won't!" ”
Zhu Yijun asked, "Why?" ”
Gao Gong replied: "If the minister is clear, the minister's clan will not forgive the minister!" ”
"So Qing is still not as good as sir."
Zhu Yijun said.
Gao Gong hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty! That's because the minister has no children, but he Zhang Juzheng has many sons! ”
"He Zhang Juzheng doesn't need to look at the face of the clan, but the minister has to look at the face of the clan, otherwise, the minister will have no incense!"
Zhu Yijun knew that Gao Gong did have no children in history, only two stepsons.
Moreover, in history, Gao Gong's two stepsons even later fought for Gao Gong's family property, and went to court, and even made trouble in the court.
"Hai Jui has no children."
Zhu Yijun suddenly mentioned Hai Rui, and said: "And his mother is seriously ill, even so, I can't take away his love, I have to let him go back to his hometown in the future, and by the way, he will return to his hometown to settle the matter of his stepson." ”
People in this era attach great importance to the continuation of incense.
And the agrarian economy makes it difficult for individuals to ignore the interests of the clan.
After Zhu Yijun said this, Gao Gong was full of tears, bowed his hand to Zhu Yijun, and choked up: "Your Majesty is the son of benevolence!" ”
Then, Gao Gong suddenly said: "However, Your Majesty should also have an heir as soon as possible, and if you don't have an heir, some things will be difficult to do." ”
Zhu Yijun nodded.
In May of the sixth year of Wanli, Hai Rui asked to return to his hometown because of the death of his mother, but Zhu Yijun did not refuse, and gave him sacrificial silver and allowed him to return to his hometown.
After Hai Rui left, Zhu Yijun ordered that the post of Zuodu Yushi be held by Chen Sheng, who supported Zhang Juzheng's seizure.
Zhu Yijun is still the one who reuses Zhang Juzheng, which reassures the courtiers a lot, knowing that the emperor has not really trusted Gao Gong from then on.
In fact, Zhu Yijun didn't want to use Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng together, but it was indeed difficult to use the two together, and Gao Gong himself confessed his weakness to him, the emperor.
This weakness is that he has no children.
As a childless person, if you want to do something contrary to the interests of the landlord class in the world in this era, you need more courage.
Just like Hai Jui in history, because he had no children, and his own integrity was not allowed to be in the clan, when he died, only a few colleagues buried him.
