After Zhu Yijun received Zhang Juzheng's first copy, he naturally approved it.

However, because of the accumulation of old diseases and the complexity of redundant affairs, the restructuring over the years has indeed consumed a lot of Zhang Juzheng's efforts, and he did not control between sound and food when he was in his prime, so after twenty years, Zhang Juzheng's condition still did not improve.

When Zhu Yijun sent the ceremonial eunuch Zhang Jing to visit Zhang's mansion in person, Zhang Juzheng had only done hemorrhoids cutting and curing, so he could only support the pillow and kowtow to thank the emperor for his kindness, but could not get up.

Hemorrhoids are mostly caused by sitting for a long time, resulting in poor qi and blood, and a large amount of blood in the veins accumulates into blood clots.

Zhang Juzheng got this disease at this time, and it was not as expected by Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun just didn't know if Zhang Juzheng's intestinal disease was limited to the anorectum.

But obviously, Zhang Juzheng's perennial sedentary disease not only caused anorectal problems, so after recovering from the disease, according to Li Shizhen, he still had a weak spleen and stomach, did not want to eat and drink, and his limbs were weak and difficult to move an inch.

Zhang Juzheng had to take more than 20 days off.

Zhu Yijun still approved it, but without Zhang Juzheng's court, everyone began to feel uneasy.

Although Zhu Yijun still insists on participating in lectures and readings and looking at the court, he is no longer able to concentrate, and it is difficult to listen to the already noisy Confucian scriptures.

And the lecturers are more unquiet than him, after all, those who can go to the palace to be lecturers must be Zhang Juzheng's own people, either they are worried about Zhang Juzheng's body, or they are all worried about whether Zhang Juzheng's career will be greatly affected if Zhang Juzheng really dies, or both.

It's just that the former is out of affection, and the latter is out of selfishness.

Zhang Juzheng suddenly became seriously ill, and for the entire Zhang Party, it was indeed undoubtedly an earthquake.

This caused panic and uneasiness among many officials.

According to the report that Zhu Yijun got from the factory guard, it was the ministers of the six ministries, the five mansions of Jiuqing, and the princes and uncles to seek medical treatment for Jiao; Hanlin Kedao, Seventy-two Guards Experience, and Five Cities Soldiers and Horses are all running for this day and night; His fellow villagers and protégés were old, and they were even uneasy to the point of bribing their domestic slaves to inquire about Zhang Juzheng's condition.

And Zhu Yijun didn't find out that the Manchu Dynasty was secretly happy that Zhang Juzheng was seriously ill, and even looked forward to Zhang Juzheng's death.

It seems that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are very worried that Zhang Juzheng will not be able to afford to fall ill.

"At this time, you can't get carried away, you have to calm down!"

"Not only does it not allow the Son of Heaven to see through us as soon as possible, but also let the Son of Heaven only see that the Manchu Dynasty and the military only know that there is Zhang Jiangling in the world and do not know the situation of His Majesty, so he cannot be tolerated Zhang Jiangling."

The official residence compound.

Zhang Siwei was in the courtyard with a slight eyebrow, whispered to Zhang Sijiao, and whispered: "Especially you, don't accept the flattery of those villains now because I am the second assistant." ”

Zhang Sijiao replied: "I know, my brother has scolded away five groups of such people, and personally threatened to fast and pray for him Jiangling." ”

Zhang Siwei nodded obediently, and then said loudly: "Okay, I'll take you to visit Yuanfu, lest you be like me, worrying every day." ”

"Brother Xie."

Zhang Sijiao replied.

"Jifu is really diligent when he visits Gangneung."

"I don't know if I want him to be old or to live."

Wang Guoguang was in the park of the official residence at this time, and couldn't help but say to Fang Fengshi and other ministers who were walking together.

Fang Fengshi knew that Wang Guoguang didn't want to talk about Zhang Juzheng's death, so he said that death was old, and he couldn't help but say at this time: "Whether it's true or false, at least now that Yuanfu is sick, the whole country is really like a reed in the wind, if he really wants to grow old here, the court will make waves again." ”

"Yes! A period may be coming to an end. ”

Zhang Xueyan, who was also here, echoed at this time.

Wang Guoguang said: "Whether he is sick or not, it should be over, Your Majesty has grown up, and if you become a country again, Your Majesty will not doubt it, and the world will also doubt it!" After all, he's not an assistant, he's a camera. ”

Saying that, Wang Guoguang said: "It's just a pity, if the restructuring is completed, it can be said that it has been completed, at least it can go to the step of canceling the gentry preferential exemption, I didn't expect it." ”

"But if it is not completed, it can be said that it is not completed, after all, the world's commercial tax has not been restructured, according to the data of the census, the world's businessmen have accounted for most of them, especially after the opening of the sea, merchants are like clouds, and the tax is undoubtedly no longer suitable only for farmers to bear, not to mention, the climate is too heavy when agriculture depends on the sky! The reform of commercial taxation is conducive to the imperial court to reduce the impact of the catastrophe on the fiscal and taxation years. ”

"It's a pity, but it's not easy to get to this point!"

"Taking advantage of the fact that the Haiyan River is clear and the country and the people are safe, it is better to prepare to retire to the forest, and leave something for the latecomers."

"It's rare to have ten things in the world, if you can be half full, you should be content!"

Fang Fengshi nodded, spoke, and turned around and walked back as he spoke.

Zhang Xueyan and Wang Guoguang turned around and followed.

Zhang Xueyan said at this time: "I just don't know if Your Majesty will be willing to continue the reform, when Nanzhi falsely accused the pro-military guard, is it the intention of Yuanfu or Your Majesty, will you use us?" ”

"We are all traitors to the Zhang Party that have been identified in the eyes of most Shilin, does Your Majesty still dare to use it?!"

Fang Fengshi asked with a smile at this time, and then said: "When you need to retreat, you must retreat!" ”

Zhang Juzheng's sudden illness obviously made the reformist ministers also have the intention of retreating and hesitating.

And Zhang Juzheng also did not improve his condition, so on the ninth day of the first month of June, he asked Emperor Zhu Yijun to allow him to resign and return to his hometown.

"If the minister does not ask for a break and retire sooner, he will not survive. I hope that His Majesty will give the bones as soon as possible, return to the township, and seek to return to the roots. ”

Zhu Yijun's eyes moistened.

Zhu Yijun in history did not agree, but in this life, Zhu Yijun did not have the idea of returning to his roots, but personally held the Zhu pen and approved the "quasi".

Then, Zhu Yijun took this Zhu Ben and came to the Shoufu Mansion in person.

According to Li Youzi's design, the courtyard of the official residence has a special royal road for the emperor, and the layout of the imperial road pays attention to secrecy, so when the emperor comes to Zhang's mansion, the other ministers of the official residence cannot know.

When Zhu Yijun was about to enter the residence of the first assistant, Zhang Jingxiu, who had already known the news in advance, came over and knelt in front of Zhu Yijun: "I don't know that Your Majesty is here in person, I haven't greeted you from afar, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

"Settle down, sir, how is it now?"

Zhu Yijun asked as he spoke.

Zhang Jingxiu's eyes were red: "Imperial Doctor Li said, it depends on whether you can survive this winter." ”

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but have a sour nose after hearing this: "Take me to see Mr., don't let anyone disturb you, and don't let people know that I'm here." ”

Zhang Jingxiu said yes.

So, Zhu Yijun hurried to Zhang Juzheng's couch under the leadership of Zhang Jingxiu.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng was resting on a table on the collapse, his fingers trembling and writing.

What is written is all about what Zhu Yijun asked him to do about establishing a new idea of governing the country.

If governing the country needs to seek truth from facts, it cannot be completely based on the ancestral system; There is a need for the concept of the state and the nation, and why we should pay attention to benefiting the people of our own country, and we should not only know that the weak people rule by the strong.

The new theory of statecraft is not a simple project.

It needs to be logically rigorous, and it must rely on the popular universal ideas of this era to elaborate, simply put, it is to reform the ancient system, so that people know why they want to govern the country like this, whether it is in line with the way of the sages, and whether it is the true knowledge that the sages want to preach.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng had to work hard about this.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng is really weak, so the writing is very large, and it didn't take long for the maid to change to a new blank paper, and after writing for a while, his body shook, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Li Shizhen looked at it at this time, and said: "Why should Yuanfu work so hard, if you have any words, you can let others write for you." Like this, I am reincarnated, and it will not help! ”

"It's not that the servants don't listen to the advice of Imperial Doctor Li, but these words can only be written by me, otherwise no one will dare to say this!"

Zhang Juzheng said with an apologetic and panting smile.

"Father, Your Majesty is here."

And at this moment, Zhang Jingxiu came in and called.

Boom!

Zhang Juzheng's pen immediately fell on the table and froze in place.

The gentlemen, ministers, teachers and students have not seen each other for several months, and the sudden meeting at this time can be regarded as an important meeting for Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng.

What Zhang Juzheng didn't expect was that Zhu Yijun would come to see him in person.
