Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I dare not forget Mr. 's words, I have not fallen behind in practicing calligraphy and fitness, and I often use cheese and walnuts in the house, and now I am taller, presumably because of this." ”

Saying that, Zhu Yijun said again: "Sir's trip, loyalty and filial piety are both fulfilled." ”

"The minister thought of the black bird's private feelings, if it wasn't for the holy mercy song, how could it be successful. Thanksgiving, words can not be declared, only engraved from the heart. ”

Zhang Juzheng replied at this time.

Zhu Yijun said: "The summer is a long road, and Mr. has worked hard from afar. ”

"Thanks to Your Majesty's understanding, the minister violated the limit and exceeded the leave, and I hereby ask Your Majesty for the guilt."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun said: "It's okay! ”

Then, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "I am very happy to see Mr. I come." Our Lady of the Two Houses is also happy. How can they be blamed, all of them are violated, and they should be forgiven. ”

Zhang Juzheng was busy kowtowing to thank him, and after Zhu Yijun got up again, he said: "The minister violated the Yuanque Court, and he ignored the March, but the heart of the dog and the horse was not around His Majesty for a day." I don't want to see the face of heaven again today, and I hear that Our Lady is merciful, and the ministers are overjoyed. ”

After the great prosperity of self-discipline, the relationship between the monarch and the minister became more like a master and a servant.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng's conversation with Zhu Yijun on the bright side will still compare himself to dogs and horses, and he will try to talk to Zhu Yijun in a humble manner.

After all, Zhu Yijun is a gentleman, and a gentleman is like a father, and a minister is like a son, although Zhu Yijun can call him a gentleman, but he must not forget his duty as a courtier, and should show humility and fear.

Zhu Yijun bowed his head after hearing Zhang Juzheng also express his concern for him, the monarch and the queen mother, and said: "Mr. is loyal, I know." ”

Then, Zhu Yijun asked again: "Is Li Min'an any?" ”

Zhang Juzheng replied: "Everywhere the officials come to see them, and the ministers will recite Your Majesty's intention to protect the people in the heavens, and earnestly admonish them, so that they will love and support the people, and be pragmatic and do not be vain." The ministers saw that the officials conscientiously obeyed the law, and the commission was different from the previous year. Therefore, Li Min feels virtuous, and they all live and work in peace and contentment, and there is really a sign of peace. ”

Zhu Yijun asked again: "What is going on today?" ”

Zhang Juzheng replied again: "Yesterday on the way, I saw the governors, Fu and chief military officers of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and there was a secret report, saying that the chieftain of the captives was defeated by the Dazi (Wara Department) and suffered a lot of damage. Yi Di fights, then Li Ben Dynasty, this is His Majesty's prestige spread far and wide, so the border is safe, and the four Yi guests are served. ”

Zhu Yijun just smiled slightly, and said, "This gentleman's assistance." ”

"Your Majesty, although I was defeated by Warat, it should not be taken lightly, and it should be paid as before, so that it can be counterbalanced with Warat."

Zhang Juzheng guided Zhu Yijun again.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "What Mr. said is true." ”

Most of the above are conversations arranged by Zhu Yijun through Shen Li, the living note, in advance, and at this time, Zhu Yijun took out Yin Zhengmao's secret report and Dongchang's secret report, saying:

"Mr. worked hard along the way, after seeing you today, and resting at home for ten days before entering the pavilion, by the way, take a look at these two chapters, I listen to Mr. reply."

Zhang Juzheng thanked him and took over the two chapters.

Oh, Zhang Juzheng saw that there was the foundation of the East Factory, so he was secretly taken aback.

It turned out that after Yin Zhengmao saw the list of the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War, he directly reported to the emperor for secrets, saying that the civil officials of the Military Selection Division were too much!

Because his old department was dismissed, seventy percent of them were transferred to the northwest!

Including some who gave money, they were also transferred to the northwest in the name of promotion! It is difficult to carry out the work of changing the land in the southwest in a short period of time.

The key is that the newly transferred guards and commanders and other officials will not deal with the Hanyi contradiction at all, and it will also exacerbate the Hanyi contradiction and make the Tusi expand.

And Zhu Yijun also asked Dongchang to investigate for several months, and learned that not only many middle- and lower-level generals in the southwest were mobilized, but also middle- and lower-level generals in Zhejiang.

Many of the military generals who were selected as local guard officers because of their meritorious service in the past were all promoted and surrendered, and the matter involved the new governor of Zhejiang, Li Xuan, and the original military department were all given to the matter, and the current officials were all given to Qin Yao in the matter.

This made Zhu Yijun have to suspect what conspiracy these people were planning, and as soon as Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing, he told Zhang Juzheng about what Yin Zhengmao had done and what Dongchang had discovered.

Because whether it is Li Xuan, Li Cai or Qin Yao, they are all Zhang Juzheng's henchmen, among which Li Xuan is the in-law of Zhang Juzheng's slave You Qi.

Moreover, Zhu Yijun also knew that Zhang Juzheng's own henchmen obviously gained power, especially after he was robbed, it was difficult to avoid a large number of unprincipled villains coming to power.

Although these people will not adhere to the etiquette system, ask Zhang Juzheng to win his love, and even support Zhang Juzheng's love for their own career, and cheer for Zhang Juzheng's love attack, they will also take the initiative to corrupt because they have no principles, and even harbor evil intentions, and intend to destroy the entire New Deal by joining Zhang Juzheng's reformers.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun knew these two things to Zhang Juzheng, hoping that Zhang Juzheng could clean up the portal to ensure that the next new deal would not be out of shape.

In addition, he also hoped that this would prevent him, the emperor, from inheriting Zhang Juzheng's political resources in the future, and also inheriting a group of treacherous people without principles and ideals.

After Zhang Juzheng returned home, he first looked at the investigation of the East Factory, slapped the table heavily for a while, and shouted: "Call You Qi!" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Jingxiu agreed: "Yes! ”

"Wait!"

Zhang Juzheng quickly calmed down, and stopped Zhang Jingxiu, saying: "It's not appropriate to call him first, and don't tell him about today's events, you first secretly investigate, what did he do behind our backs, and which powerful and wealthy gentry did he have dealings with!" ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "One of his house slaves is married to the governor, you and I don't even know!" ”

Zhang Jingxiu did not show surprise, and only said yes.

Zhang Juzheng saw that his son was so calm, but he was more relieved, so he instructed: "You have to keep an eye on the affairs of the family for your father, after all, you are the eldest son in the family." ”

"My son understands!"

After Zhang Jingxiu returned, he said: "Father, Yin Shibo has a letter. ”

Zhang Jingxiu took out Yin Zhengmao's private message from his sleeve as he spoke, handed it to Zhang Juzheng, and said: "According to your instructions, the private messages above the supervision will be collected and kept by the child himself, and no one is allowed to open it first, please check it." ”

The first assistant of the Ming Dynasty mostly relied on private messages with his protégés, and Zhang Juzheng was no exception, and he also established a special letter receiving system in the government.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng saw that Yin Zhengmao's letter had indeed not been opened, so he nodded and took the letter, opened it, and read it first.

Yin Zhengmao said in the letter: "Yuan Fu is respectful, because of Gao Xinzheng's proposal, his subordinates have to change from the prime minister of the Holy Order to return to the stream, but if you want to do this, you need to strengthen the army and accumulate wealth!" In this way, it is necessary to curb the disadvantages of military ministers eating empty salaries, and the root cause of military ministers eating empty salaries is that the civil ministers who are responsible for their promotion are too greedy! ”

"Therefore, the subordinates have to play the crux of His Majesty's knowledge of Li Cai's greed and the general's empty salary."

"Non-subordinates deliberately force Yuanfu to kill his relatives in righteousness!"

"In short, if you want to change the land and return to the stream, you will have to spend countless national funds, and in this way, you can't let the greedy ink drift away the national funds, and the provincial national funds will do the things of changing the land and returning to the stream! This is a helpless move for the border ministers! ”

"In the end, it is Gao Xinzheng, his father is only three months away from His Majesty's side, and he can force his father to clean up the portal!"

Zhang Juzheng sighed after reading the letter, and said: "Gao Xin Zheng, is the good assistant of the country!" ”
