Zhang Juzheng lowered his head at this time and replied: "Yes! Most of the ruling ministers hope to be able to reach a compromise in order to eliminate the rebellion of the people in Wu as soon as possible. ”

"Sir also thinks that this will be a popular uprising, not a riot instigated by the powerful and right-winged people behind the scenes?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

"Your Majesty, whether it is a civil uprising or turmoil, he is a fire that has already burned, the officials are tired and the people are tired, no matter how the court handles it, this fire must be extinguished first."

"Just like a person with a fever, you don't have to ask where the heat comes from first, the fever is the first priority!"

"And to get rid of the fever in time, you have to first wronged the pro-military guard, or it is necessary to kill a few pro-military guards, such as that Qi Jin, in exchange for avoiding more businessmen and ordinary people and even officials and soldiers from being killed."

Zhang Juzheng said at this time.

"I don't agree!"

Zhu Yijun replied at this time.

"Please Your Majesty take into account the overall situation and endure each other for the sake of the country!"

Zhang Juzheng said to Zhu Yijun.

"I can't wronged my own soldiers, unless Hai Rui can deliver evidence, otherwise, my soldiers will be wronged!"

Zhu Yijun said with a calm face.

"Your Majesty, sometimes you can't just talk about right and wrong!"

"What does it matter whether you are wronged or not, as long as you achieve the goal of peace in the world, the Holy Monarch has not killed people in vain since ancient times, but it does not cover up his benevolence!"

"At this time, Your Majesty should no longer be stubborn, and the minister has never taught Your Majesty to be so stubborn!"

Zhang Juzheng said excitedly.

Zhu Yijun stood up abruptly and stared at Zhang Juzheng: "Although Mr.'s words seem reasonable, but I have forgotten the principle of upholding righteousness for the king, I ask Mr., for the so-called peace of the world, whether it is right or wrong, sacrificing oneself, is it true benevolence?" ”

"It's for Daren!"

Zhang Juzheng replied.

"And what about the priests who sacrificed?"

"If you want to wronged a few Wenchen today, and if you want me to kill a few Wenchen, can Sir accept me doing this?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

Zhang Juzheng fell silent.

Then, Zhang Juzheng still said truthfully: "Naturally, it is different, killing the doctor is detrimental to the holy virtue!" After all, those who hold the tongue of the world are readers. Even if His Majesty wants to kill the scholar in the future, he should not admit it himself, but should pass the buck to his favored ministers. ”

"If you dare to do it for the monarch, what kind of holy lord is it?"

"What else is politics and morality?"

Zhu Yijun asked with a sneer.

Zhang Juzheng said urgently: "Your Majesty! This is only a last resort, but sometimes you have to change the power, and you can't blindly do what the saint wants, especially when the emperor only teaches people with the sage's teachings, rather than letting the sages restrain themselves. ”

"Although Sir's words are reasonable, he is still telling me that I should look up to the scholars, and everyone else can be wronged at will, but the scholars can't! Even if you want to kill the doctor, you have to act like you don't want it to be. ”

"So, if you need to be wronged today, does Mr. advise me not to kill him for no reason?"

Zhu Yijun continued to ask.

"Don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, yes."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun sneered: "But Mr. should understand that I forgive the punishment of Ling Chi to the gentry who conspired against the crime before, not because they are gentry and want to give them dignity, but because they are Han Chinese and my people, because I am determined to take my people more seriously than foreigners!" ”

"As long as they are my people, not only scholars, but also soldiers and ordinary people, I have to treat them more like foreigners!"

"Therefore, if I want to kill my own soldiers, it must be an upright killing, not this kind of unexplained killing!"

"But Sir obviously only let me give kindness to the scholars, and forgot to let me give kindness to all the people!"

"In the Liangguang area, the people who were forced to rebel because the gentry exploited too much, Mr. asked the governor of Liangguang to kill tens of thousands of thousands, and Mr. and other scholars did not let me endure for the country, and for the sake of killing tens of thousands of people, I went to wronged a small number of local gentry!"

"Now for the sake of some Hao's right minions, I want to endure for the country, and I want to wronged my own pro-military guards!"

"So, is this emperor just the emperor of the scholars, or the emperor of all the people of the Ming Dynasty in the world?"

After Zhu Yijun said this, he asked Zhang Juzheng: "Please answer me!" ”

Zhang Juzheng only buried his head lower: "The minister has nothing to say, but the situation is like this, the minister can only ask His Majesty to endure for the country, after all, His Majesty himself does not want to kill more." ”

"I want to endure, and I don't want to endure these arrogant ruffians who ignore the king's law!"

"Why do you treat only the scholars as human beings, and not your own soldiers and other people?"

Zhu Yijun suddenly roared.

Then, Zhu Yijun stretched out his hands with a solemn expression, and took off the Yishan crown on his head.

Then, Zhu Yijun continued to Zhang Juzheng, who lowered his head: "I believe in my soldiers! The courier sent by Hai Rui said that there was no empirical proof that my pro-army guards plundered the people, so my pro-army guards were wronged! Because I believe in my own pro-military guard is like believing in Hai Rui, believing in Hai Rui is like believing in Mr., if Mr. wants me to wronged his own soldiers for the sake of the overall situation, he will not want this throne! ”

"Sir, choose another descendant of the Zhu family who is willing to treat only the gentry as people, and be the emperor!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun raised his Yishan crown and threw himself to the ground.

"This kind of emperor who can't be upright, can't be fair, can't treat all his people as human beings, and is hypocritical and righteous, who loves to be who should go!"

Boom!

The gorgeous black silk winged crown fell on the gold brick with a thud.

Then, Zhu Yijun turned around and left: "I will go back to Fengyang by myself, learn from Taizu again, pull the righteous people of the world who do not want this false benevolence and false righteousness to exist, raise the banner of righteousness again, form a righteous army, and rebel to be a new emperor who treats all the people equally!" ”

Zhu Yijun said and looked at Zhang Hong and Zhang Whale, who were also hanging their heads: "As my house slaves, if you want to go with me, go together, if you don't want to, it's okay!" ”

Zhang Juzheng's body trembled, and he raised his head suddenly.

Suddenly, he saw that Zhu Yijun had no crown on his head, and suddenly he felt like he had been stabbed in the heart, and he became colic.

"Your Majesty!"

I only heard a loud bang, and I saw that Zhang Juzheng had knelt down, his body shook slightly, his head was on the ground, and after a while, he whimpered:

"If Your Majesty really wants to do this, then punish the ministers before going! Whining! ”

Zhang Hong also knelt down at this time, and said with tears in his eyes: "If the emperor is really like this, the minister can only die of hunger strike!" ”

Only, Zhang Whale did not kneel down, only looked up at everything in front of him hesitantly.

He was mainly confused.

The Son of Heaven's behavior seemed to be beyond the acceptable range of his intellect, so he suddenly did not know how to deal with the situation in front of him, and made the most rational analysis to analyze what he should do now.

It was only when he saw that Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Hong were kneeling down that he hurriedly knelt down and began to cry: "Emperor, don't!" ”

Zhu Yijun also stopped at this time.

However, before he could raise his feet and continue walking, Zhang Juzheng squinted and found Yi Shanguan, then carefully picked up Yi Shanguan, knelt and walked towards Zhu Yijun, looked up at Zhu Yijun with an almost pleading look, and cried:

"Your Majesty, put it on, but don't be rash! There are some things that can't be dropped at will, and if you drop him, it's like picking the heart of a minister! ”

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but burst into tears as he spoke, still holding the Yishan crown and begging Zhu Yijun to wear it back, and continued to look underground, as if he was looking for Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, as well as Yu Qian, Zhang Cong, Xia Yan, and even Gao Gong, who had just passed away.

He hoped that they would help him persuade the Son of Heaven.

But these people are long gone.

He was the only one, helplessly carrying the ministers and bureaucrats outside, begging Zhu Yijun.

"Your Majesty, put it on!"

"I beg you, as long as you wear it, you can do whatever you want!"

Zhang Juzheng coaxed Zhu Yijun like a child.

Zhu Yijun saw that he was so pitiful, and also thought of the nearly ten years of companionship between the teachers and students of the monarch and the minister, and the efforts made in the past ten years, he finally couldn't bear to really treat Zhang Juzheng like other civil servants, and completely broke up, so he finally took over the Yishan crown and put it back on.

Zhang Juzheng immediately burst into tears and smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister's life's hard work is almost in vain!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Juzheng got up abruptly and arched his hand with a serious face: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then it can only be a river of blood!" ”

"Then there will be a river of blood!"

"Tens of thousands of innocent people, Mr. dares to kill, tens of thousands of inferior gentry and bullies and ruffians, does Mr. want to be soft?!"

Zhu Yijun asked in a deep voice.

"The minister understands!"

Zhang Juzheng said goodbye and turned away.
