Wang Jiaping saw that Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything more, so he also fell silent.

So, the two walked silently among the red tiles of the vermilion wall.

"Congratulations to Motosuke!"

It wasn't until Zhang Juzheng got on the shoulder that Wang Jiaping opened his mouth and bowed down to say a word, and after staring at Zhang Juzheng's shoulder, he turned around and walked outside the palace.

"Write a letter to ask Zhonghua (Shen Li), now that he has returned to his father, let him ask the people, why didn't he write to him?"

As soon as Zhang Juzheng returned home, he suddenly asked Zhang Jingxiu about Shen Li's situation.

Zhang Jingxiu bowed down and replied: "Brother Shen must still be immersed in the pain of losing his father, and he has no time to take care of his master's life. ”

"What is this like!"

"Filial piety must be kept, but loyalty must always be in mind! Is it because of filial piety that he doesn't even care about the community? ”

Zhang Juzheng suddenly asked in a stern tone.

Zhang Jingxiu had no choice but to say yes, and then took the initiative to ask: "Does my father miss Brother Shen Shi?" ”

Zhang Juzheng sat down, picked up the tea, glanced at Zhang Jingxiu, and said, "What do you want to do for your father!" ”

Zhang Jingxiu said: "What my son means is that we don't necessarily have to wait for Brother Shen's letter, we can also take the initiative to ask him." ”

"Not necessarily! I can't wait to follow the impeachment of my father, why bother to do it so intimately. ”

Zhang Juzheng said hysterically.

Zhang Jingxiu had to continue to say yes and didn't say anything more.

Zhang Juzheng was also only drinking tea, but after a while, he suddenly asked Zhang Jingxiu: "Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian, how are they doing in exile?" ”

"It's very comfortable, claiming to be a gentleman who offends the powerful, echoing with people who are superficial and love to make things, comparing themselves to Liu Mengde, Su Dongpo and others. There is no remorse, and even a lot of promises for the future. ”

Zhang Jingxiu replied.

Zhang Juzheng's face sank after hearing this.

"There is a will, Mr. Yuanfu Zhang was entrusted by the first emperor, and he has the responsibility of teacher protection, and he has taught me for many years, and he has been assisted by a day, and the outside can proclaim the prestige of our country with the victory of Pyongyang, and the inside can be set up in the official residence to show the benevolent government of me, so now I am specially given a python and a python robe, eight colored satin, and two hundred taels of silver."

At this time, Sun Long, the eunuch of the new Bingbi of the celebrant eunuch, suddenly came to Zhang Zhai to announce the decree.

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly took Zhang Jingxiu and others to kneel down and accept the order, thanking him.

And after Sun Long left, Zhang Juzheng looked at these python clothes and colored satin for a long time and was silent.

Zhu Yijun knew Zhang Juzheng and knew that he liked luxurious clothes, so he specially appreciated some python clothes and colored satin.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Juzheng specially drank a few more glasses of wine during the evening dinner, and said with Zhang Jingxiu's hand:

"You say, among these protégés of the father, is he the only one who really treats the father as a gentleman?"

"Obviously, I can no longer control him through his mother and the celebrant supervisor, he can already let me retreat, and even give me a cup of poisoned wine, so that I can take back the power, but I still think of me, a gentleman, and I will give generous gifts during the New Year's holidays, and now Rao is will be rewarded for any great joy."

"Such a student, such a monarch father, can a father continue to do his best for him and do everything he wants?"

Zhang Jingxiu helped Zhang Juzheng, who was a little drunk: "If my father doesn't abandon Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty abandon our Zhang family?" Now that the Qingzhang field has been completed, if the father really wants to continue the reform and seek long-term peace and stability for the king, the sons and younger brothers should also follow their father's will. ”

"Good!"

Zhang Juzheng said and said, "Then prepare to move, wait for the holy decree, we will be the first to move into the official residence!" In the newly built official residence, he did everything His Majesty wanted to do for him! ”

The official residence, which had been built since the sixth year of Wanli, had been completed by this time.

Now it is time to arrange for the ruling ministers and ministers to move into the official residence.

It's just that Zhu Nanyong, who has been promoted to the imperial history of Zuo Yandu, not long ago, made a note, saying that it is not necessary to let an old minister like Yuanfu move to the official residence, but should be allowed to recuperate in a private residence.

This omission made Zhu Yijun embarrassed.

Because, if he agrees, it will naturally be regarded as if the rules have just been abolished as soon as the official residence is established, and if he does not agree, it will be regarded as saying that he will no longer give Zhang Juzheng dignity, which will easily arouse outsiders to suspect that he, the monarch, has changed his attitude towards Zhang Juzheng, and will make a large-scale reversal appear in advance.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun can only leave this Zhu Nanyong's recital, and he can no longer order the ruling minister to enter the official residence.

As a result, although the official residence has been built, not a single ruling minister has yet moved in it.

Zhang Juzheng knew that the problem was the reason why the entire civil government system did not want the ruling minister to live in the official residence, and all this still required him, the first assistant, to take the initiative to cooperate with the emperor, so that the official residence system could be truly implemented, rather than becoming an unworthy system.

On the night when Zhu Yijun gave the python clothes, Zhang Juzheng made up his mind to take the initiative to practice the official residence system, and asked the Son of Heaven to order the ruling minister to move into the official residence.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun showed Zhu Nanyong's recital to Zhang Juzheng in the west room of the Wenhua Hall the next day: "Mr. I think and Mr. are different, but I am also a teacher, so I have already approved Zhu Nanyong's performance, and Mr. does not have to move into the official residence." ”

"If the minister does not enter the official residence, I am afraid that the people will be unconvinced, and the future first assistant will also destroy this system because of the minister's example, so the minister asks His Majesty to withdraw this kindness, and the minister will enter the official residence, thinking that the hundred officials will set an example."

In order to show the solemnity of this matter, Zhang Juzheng also knelt down to report it.

Zhu Yijun nodded when he saw this: "That is the case, for the implementation of the new system, for Mr. Zhang's integrity, and Mr. Zhenzhun played." The decree ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a date, and the gentleman and the ministers entered the official residence, and each gave sixty taels of gold and eight treasure beans as a reward for housewarming, as a reward for his servants. ”

As a result, after Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to ask to move into the official residence, the official residence system was truly implemented.

It stands to reason that Zhu Yijun can make an order directly, and there is no need to wait for Zhang Juzheng to take the initiative to play, but since Zhu Yijun wants to let the family take the blame, he naturally has to give him dignity, otherwise no one will believe that this matter has anything to do with Zhang Juzheng.

"In accordance with the order of the elder of the pavilion, the subordinate on the way that made Jiangling still live in a private house was left behind."

On the night when Zhang Juzheng asked Zhu Yijun to order the ruling minister to enter the official residence, Zhu Nanyong told the cabinet minister about his neglect in the private residence of a certain cabinet minister, and said with a smile: "It seems that Your Majesty is indeed stumped by this. ”

And this pavilion elder said with an ugly face: "You are happy too early, this morning, Jiangling has already taken the initiative to ask for a move into the official residence, and the celebrant has already approved the red, and the ministers will move into the official residence in the near future, so don't come back in the future." ”

Zhu Nanyong couldn't help but put away his smile after hearing this, and was stunned for a moment, and said: "This Jiangling is really bent on seeking the country!" ”

"Yes, in fact, among the corporal doctors in the world, Mr. Xu is not the only one who looks at him Zhang Jiangling, why don't we look at him?"

"He, Zhang Jiangling, is really doing things according to the words of the sage; But they forgot that the words of this saint were for words, not for doing! ”

Bang!

As soon as the minister finished speaking, a cup of tea fell to the ground.

……

In the eighth year of Wanli, on the sixth day of the second lunar month, spring and Jingming were bright and sunny.

And in the midst of the warblers' cry all over the city, horse-drawn carriages and mule carts drove out of the mansions, covering several streets.

At the same time, the men and women who appeared with these carriages and mule carts were constantly spit out by some deep gates, making the already densely populated Jingshi even more crowded.

And this day is the day when the ruling ministers move into the official residence.

Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei, Wang Guoguang, Ma Ziqiang, Shen Shixing, these cabinet ministers, and the Privy Council envoy Fang Fengshi, as well as Zhang Xueyan, Liang Menglong, Wu Baipeng and other six Shangshu, all moved into the official residence on this day with their respective family members and servants.

Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also came to the official residence first, waiting for Zhang Juzheng and other ruling ministers to come, so that they could introduce the official residence he designed and supervised, and saved these ministers from not knowing where their official residence was and the specific layout.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng and these ruling ministers didn't show much excitement after looking at the official residences.

Although this is the official residence of the emperor with a huge amount of money.

Wang Guoguang even asked Li Youzi first: "In the eyes of the great secretary, are the ruling ministers all thieves?" ”

There was a delay in eating out, so I only updated it now, sorry
