Chapter 176: Zhang Juzheng's Determination
Zhu Yijun looked at this urgent delivery and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem here.
Zhang Juzheng's father's mausoleum was dug up, and his body was expounded.
This kind of behavior can be described as ruthless.
In this era of filial piety, such behavior can be said to be more ruthless than directly killing Zhang Juzheng.
It can be seen how much the extremists among the instigated people hate Zhang Juzheng.
Of course, the so-called tyrants are actually just people who are instigated by the landlord class, who are either the powerful slaves of the landlord's family or the ruffians and hooligans.
Zhu Yijun was a little worried that Zhang Juzheng would be heartbroken because of this, and he didn't dare to insist on restructuring anymore.
However, Zhu Yijun also had to admit at this time that the grave digger didn't take the royal family too seriously.
You must know that Taihui Mountain, where Zhang Juzheng's father is buried, is the burial place of Emperor Zhu Yijun.
Now these people have dug up the burial ground given by the royal family, so naturally they don't even care about the emperor's face.
"Go and ask, sir, what's going on now?"
"As soon as there is his chapter, hand it over immediately!"
"In addition, go to Beizhen Fusi and ask the person in charge of Huguang's confidential news if there is an urgent report about Jiangling, if so, send it immediately!"
Zhu Yijun then commanded.
……
The official residence of the first assistant.
Zhang Juzheng also learned about the excavation of his father's grave from a private message sent by his family at this time, so he fainted on the spot, and only now did he wake up.
After Zhang Juzheng woke up, his brother Zhang Jujing trembled and walked on crutches, and with the support of Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu, he came to Zhang Juzheng, and said with tears in his eyes:
"Brother, now the people have dug up our father's ancestral grave! Do you want to continue the restructuring?! ”
Zhang Jujing had been infected with the disease last year, and he originally wanted to return to his hometown in advance, but because Zhang Juzheng did not allow him to use the survey given to him by Zhang Lu, the governor of Baoding, that is, the certificate of using the post station, and galloped back to his hometown, he was ready to wait until the weather warmed up this year before returning to his hometown.
It's just that Zhang Jujing didn't expect that after waiting for a few more months, he learned about the excavation of his father's grave in Beijing.
Zhang Juzheng did not speak.
Zhang Jujing also said: "The family wrote that not only was my father exhumed and his coffin dissected, but those fierce people also set fire to our house, and they also posted a post saying that your new policy caused them to be abandoned by the main family, so that they slept in the open and begged for food on the streets; Fortunately, the soldiers and civilians were able to save the fire in time, so they could not burn their homes to the ground. ”
"But, brother, you really think about it again, if you continue to reform like this, I am afraid that not only will you be unpredictable, but all of us in the Zhang family will also be unpredictable! I'm afraid that my parents will not be safe! ”
Zhang Juzheng got up and patted Zhang Jujing's shoulder: "You go back first, let your father re-enter the ground." As for these things that have happened, I will ask the magistrate to strictly investigate them, and I believe that Your Majesty will not ignore my Zhang family. ”
"Brother!"
"Brother knelt down for you."
Zhang Jujing really knelt down as he spoke, and said: "Your loyalty to Your Majesty is enough to be called the most loyal, why bother to pay the price of your parents not being able to enter the soil for peace, and even the lives of the entire clan, continue to do so!" ”
"What's more, it's not the time when Sheji is about to die if it doesn't happen. Why, if you offend the world's personnel like this, you have to be the only one in the Zhang family, why should you be the only one to bear the social affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and the other worlds who have received the grace of the country should not share one or two?! ”
"You ask Your Majesty to take a break!"
"I believe Your Majesty will not allow it, after all, you have done enough for him, and now you just don't want your parents not to be humiliated by the people, so you have to beg, Your Majesty is a benevolent and virtuous son, and you will not be forced to ignore your parents!"
Zhang Jujing then continued to persuade.
"Don't say any more!"
Zhang Juzheng suddenly shouted at Zhang Jujing.
Zhang Jujing was busy and dumb and lived in place.
Then, Zhang Juzheng sat back in his chair, as if pulling his heart, and said solemnly: "I can't let him be disappointed in me as a gentleman!" ”
Then, Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Jingxiu: "Help your second uncle leave." ”
"Second uncle, let's go."
Zhang Jingxiu said yes and then came to help Zhang Jujing.
Zhang Maoxiu also smiled and said to Zhang Jujing: "Second uncle, my little nephew recently got a good book, which is written about the interesting stories of the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, you must like it." ”
"Brother, do you only have that student in your heart?"
Zhang Jujing pushed away the hands of Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu, and asked Zhang Juzheng questions.
Zhang Juzheng said in a low tone: "He is not just a student. ”
"My brother knows that my brother has his own obsessions."
"However, even if you are so indifferent that you ignore the fact that your parents will be difficult to settle down in the future, can you ignore the fate of these sons of yours in the future because of you?!"
Zhang Jujing asked with tears as he spoke.
Zhang Juzheng looked up at Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu, and after a while, he smiled and said: "They are my Zhang Taiyue's sons, and they will use their lives to protect the Zhang family!" ”
Historically, Zhang Jingxiu did shock the entire Shilin by committing suicide, making many scholars realize that if they continued to force like this, their faces would become very disgraceful, and they all sympathized with the Zhang family and began to intercede for the Zhang family.
When Zhang Juzheng said this at this time, he obviously predicted the future situation and made this request to Zhang Jingxiu.
Zhang Jingxiu pursed his lips and only continued to say to Zhang Jujing: "Second uncle, let's go." ”
Zhang Jujing stood up very cooperatively this time with the support of Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu.
"Second uncle, don't worry, grandmother's nephew has already sent someone to inform them, and they are not allowed to let grandmother know about grandfather."
Zhang Jingxiu said while helping Zhang Jujing.
Zhang Maoxiu also helped Zhang Jujing and said with a smile: "The little nephew will send you the book later, so that you can relieve your boredom on the road?" ”
Zhang Juzheng looked at the backs of the three of them, and his mouth was sobbing.
"I'm sorry for you for my father!"
After a long time, suddenly, Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Maoxiu, and Zhang Jujing heard a familiar voice from behind, and they all froze in place.
Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu both turned around and kowtowed to Zhang Juzheng: "Father, don't do this!" ”
Zhang Juzheng laughed with tears, and then waved his hand: "Go." ”
Then, Zhang Juzheng went to the chair behind the book and sat down, and took the pen to write the chapter.
……
"Sir's play?"
Zhu Yijun looked at the first copy handed by Zhang Hong and asked.
Zhang Hong nodded: "Yes, the emperor, in accordance with the emperor's decree, the original copy of Mr. Yuanfu Zhang and the cardinal minister must be handed over to the emperor in time." ”
"I don't look at it!"
"Put it there."
Zhu Yijun turned his face away.
Zhang Hong said yes and stepped aside.
But after a while, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but glance at Zhang Juzheng's previous chapter on the eucalyptus.
Zhu Yijun finally gritted his teeth and picked up Zhang Yue.
Here, Zhang Hong couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Hong's demeanor and asked.
"Old slave, old slave ......"
Zhang Hong stammered.
Zhu Yijun opened Zhang Juzheng's chapter at this time.
Then, Zhu Yijun found that Zhang Juzheng was in the chapter and only asked him, the emperor, to abolish the law that the strike of hired workers or rebellion against the employer stipulated in the reign of Ming Xiaozong was regarded as the following crimes, and complicity in the crime of rebellion should be regarded as Ling Chi; After the census is completed, all departments are ordered to compile the number of local poor households so that the imperial court can provide relief, and they also urge local officials to strictly implement the policy of paying grain and errands in the summer of this year.
These things that Zhang Juzheng invited were all things that Zhu Yijun had mentioned to Zhang Juzheng.
All of them are to facilitate the implementation of the new policy of the officials and gentry to pay food and errands.
It is necessary to liberate the untouchable people, win over the workers at the bottom, and adopt a policy of brutal repression against the shantytowns.
In order to make the court have a lot of their own people.
And Zhang Juzheng's sudden entry into this line was undoubtedly to show him, the emperor, his determination to continue to reform for him.
Zhu Yijun's eyebrows gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but gradually hook.
"What a gentleman!"
"I just said that any wind sword and frost sword can't bring him down Mr. Zhang!"
Zhu Yijun said with a smile, and then ordered: "Zhang Hong, pass on the edict and summon Mr. Zhang to Xinuan Pavilion!" ”
