Zhu Yijun came to Xiyuan after meeting Zhang Juzheng, nominally to Xiyuan to practice riding and archery, but in fact to meet Gao Gong.

Gao Gong knew what the emperor meant when he came to see him again, so he forced a smile and asked, "Did the minister make His Majesty embarrassed?" ”

"It's not just embarrassing."

Zhu Yijun replied and said: "After all, Mr. also accepts the silver offered by the general soldiers on all sides after eating empty salaries, and I know it." ”

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled: "Your Majesty should be able to understand." ”

Then, Gao Gong added: "As an auxiliary minister, if you don't accept the money from the military ministers, how can you make the military ministers feel at ease?" After all, there are too many civil ministers who can restrain the military ministers, from the military superintendent to the governor, to the military department and the science and technology officials, just one person can ruin the affairs of the military ministers. ”

"I know!"

Zhu Yijun nodded.

"Your Majesty!"

Gao Gong suddenly became serious, and said to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty should force Jiangling to clean up the portal!" He has this power now! ”

"Your Majesty has given him Qi Jiguang's knife to hold in Jiangling now, then Your Majesty can't let him hold it in vain, so that it will become a rusty blunt knife, and it can only be collected and stored in the future."

Gao Gong continued.

Zhu Yijun only nodded after hearing this, and immediately asked: "You should understand why I came to see you again, since I adopted your proposal to change the land and return to the stream, you should have guessed that there would be such a day." ”

"The minister understands that the minister will not mention the case of the minister of the year again."

High arch loop.

Minister Wang's case was an unjust case planned by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao to prepare to further crack down on Gao Gong, but it was only because most of the civil officials opposed this that Zhang Juzheng finally had to give up doing so, and he did not succeed in plotting Gao Gong.

But this is also a stain on Zhang Juzheng in the power struggle from beginning to end, and it is easy to be used, such as using this matter to let Gao Gong come forward and criticize Zhang Juzheng.

If there is really a situation when Zhang Ju is cleaning up the portal, Xu Jie's alliance with Gao Gong, and even some people within Zhang Juzheng defect, it will undoubtedly affect the overall situation of the entire restructuring.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun is just coming now to have an attitude of arching.

After hearing Gao Gong say this, Zhu Yijun was relieved and didn't say anything more.

As the primary figure in the Longqing Dynasty presiding over the reform, Gao Gong is obviously knowledgeable.

Ten days later, at the end of June of the sixth year of Wanli.

For example, the Forbidden City, which has been scorched by fire for a long time, has just been cooled for one night, and the next day it is full of fire, and even in the main hall, the ice used has melted very quickly, and from time to time it has no effect of relieving heat.

Zhu Yijun, who was sitting in the west room of the Wenhua Palace, also began to feel that there were beads of sweat on his forehead, but he was not in a hurry to let people bring a handkerchief, and only asked Zhang Juzheng: "Mr. must have read the two chapters I gave you?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has seen it."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded, because he saw that Zhang Juzheng's sideburns were also soaked, so he said: "Sir, bear with me, it is not appropriate to announce someone to change the ice at this time." ”

Zhang Juzheng said yes.

Then, Zhu Yijun asked again: "What does Mr. think after reading it?" ”

Zhang Juzheng replied: "I can't be tolerated!" ”

Zhu Yijun laughed: "I also have this intention. And I want to be a slave who is not forgiven, sir, if there is evidence of interference in politics and power, Mr. should not forgive! ”

"The ministers obey the holy commandment."

Zhang Juzheng replied, and said: "It's just that Your Majesty can spare some people for capital crimes to show mercy and benevolence?" ”

"No!"

Zhu Yijun replied without thinking, and said, "If I promise Mr. today, won't Mr. teach me in vain for so many years?" ”

"What's more, if Mr. doesn't clean up the door seriously, how can Mr. let me use them with confidence in the future, does Mr. really want them to follow Mr. in the future?"

"If so, Mr. is too ruthless to those who are interested in practicing Mr.'s will!"

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Juzheng prostrate on the ground, and suddenly said excitedly: "The minister has the benevolence of a woman, and he also knows that the law is unforgivable, but the minister just wants His Majesty to get the name of a benevolent monarch because of the minister!" It's not just for the mediocre ruler who is clamped down by the ministers! ”

Zhu Yijun laughed: "I know Mr. Zhi's heart, it's just a plan for me to have a false name and long-term peace and stability in the world, which is more important?" Mr. should be more important to the community, and the common people are more important than me! After all, Mr. is my teacher, not my slave, and Mr. teaches me by word and deed, should I be more famous, or more important? What's more, Mr. really thinks that they will not be more willing to see the Son of Heaven as a mediocre king? ”

After Zhu Yijun asked, Zhang Juzheng kowtowed and said, "The minister understands!" Please rest assured that Your Majesty will act according to the will of God. ”

Zhu Yijun was overjoyed when he heard this, and walked over to help Zhang Juzheng: "Mr. Lao will clean up the silverfish for me and leave me a group of really usable courtiers." In addition, after the replacement of the military election department, it was directly no longer set up, and a privy council was set up under the governor's office of the five armies, which was controlled by the border ministers of one plus three orphans, and was in charge of the military aircraft, so as to divide the power of the soldiers. ”

Zhang Juzheng said yes, and took out the secret: "The minister has actually prepared to clean up the portal, and asked His Majesty to approve it." ”

Zhu Yijun took it, and then ordered: "Come in!" ”

So, Zhang Whale walked in with a group of small handymen carrying ice and came to Zhu Yijun's side.

Zhu Yijun handed the secret revelation to Zhang Whale: "Give it to Mr. immediately after approving the red." ”

Half an hour later, Zhang Juzheng returned to the cabinet, and with a calm face, he handed the secret revelation that was criticized red to Zhang Siwei, and instructed: "It is planned to order the Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Division to arrest the officials of the Wuxuan Division, and all of them from Lang Guan down to the edict prison!" In addition, Qin Yao of the Six Branch Corridor was also imprisoned! Dressed in brocade, Yiwei immediately went to Zhejiang to arrest the governor of the capital Li Cai, and escorted him to Beijing for interrogation! ”

Zhang Siwei froze in place after hearing this, and did not respond.

"Why is that?"

Wang Guoguang immediately dropped the pen in his hand, stepped forward directly, and asked Zhang Juzheng: "Uncle, all the people of the Wuxuan Division were sent to the edict prison, what happened, it can't be a major case of rebellion, right?!" ”

"It's not too far from rebellion."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

"How is this possible!"

Wang Guoguang said and arched his hand: "Uncle! ”

Immediately, Wang Guoguang immediately changed his words: "Yuanfu, these people are all your protégés!" Even if you want to clean up the portal, you have to be merciful, right? ”

"Is it true that the protégé is allowed to oppose the teacher, and the teacher can't punish the protégé?"

Zhang Juzheng asked rhetorically.

After hearing this, Wang Guoguang said: "Liu Tai and Wu Zhongxing are ungrateful, but after all, most of them are still good!" Let's just say that this time to win love, whether it is Jia Qiyuan of Datong, Ru Zongshun, or Song Yizheng of Huguang, and Liang Menglong of Jiliao, they have not to abandon the big politics because of this, people say that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, uncle, the younger generation hates the old man and does not go to the throne, but he can't just worry about it! ”

"Seeing that it's about to rot a lot, what's the matter?"

"If it weren't for Yangshi, the servant wouldn't know that the whole of Zhejiang would soon become a Zhejiang that is not the imperial court! The toasts in the southwest are all because they are completely unscrupulous! ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "It's good to clean it up strictly now, so that you can really produce a Cai Jing in the future and let the new coup d'état be evil!" ”

"I can't make this purpose!"

Wang Guoguang said.

Zhang Juzheng asked: "Is Elder Ge going to disobey?" ”

Wang Guoguang hurriedly said: "Uncle! It's for your sake! ”

"Intended!"

Zhang Juzheng snorted.

Zhang Siwei shuddered for a while, and hurriedly took over the secret revelation: "I'll draft it!" ”

Saying that, Zhang Siwei also said: "But Yuanfu, Ruguan is not wrong, you should really think twice about doing this!" ”

"You don't have to say it again, the servant has made up his mind!"

Zhang Juzheng waved his hand.

Wang Guoguang sighed and did not say anything.

And Zhang Siwei went to draw up the purpose.

It didn't take long for the celebrant to approve the decree.

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

That night, inside the left gate of Chang'an, a large number of brocade guards were divided into two teams with torches, and their footsteps were as fast as flying, and they came to the yamen of the military department.

After considering everyone's opinions, it is still the Privy Council, not the re-establishment of the Zhongshu Province, which is nothing. What's more, it is equivalent to setting up an institution with the same name in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and if the grade is set at a low point, it will be reasonable at that time. What's more, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics and eventually become a nonsense, let alone anything else. It just depends on whether the real power figures at that time are willing or not.
