Although Zhang Juzheng decided to return to his hometown, he was still not at ease before leaving, so he took Zhang Yun with him to the palace to meet Emperor Wanli. Zhang Juzheng took Zhang Yun through the long streets and came to the Forbidden City, Zhang Yun looked at the tall Forbidden City, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and ambition in his heart. Since everyone in the palace knew Zhang Juzheng, the two went all the way unimpeded, and soon came to the place where Wanli lived.

Zhang Yun walked in the door and saw an 18 or 19-year-old boy sitting on the dragon chair, only to see that the young man was wearing a crown and a golden dragon robe. After Zhang Juzheng entered, he pulled Zhang Yun to kneel and salute. Emperor Wanli personally stepped down from the dragon chair and helped him up. Wanli looked at Mr. Zhang, who had been his teacher since he was 7 years old, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, especially when he saw Zhang Juzheng's gray hair and some rickety back, he couldn't help but think of Mr. Zhang's handsome face and always worth his back when he was a child, and he couldn't help but lose his mind.

After Wanli came back to his senses, he looked at Zhang Yun behind Zhang Juzheng and asked with a smile: "This is Mr. Zhang's nephew Zhang Yun, he is really a talent, very similar to Mr. Zhang when he was young." Zhang Yun heard Wanli's words, hurriedly came out and knelt down and said: "Minister, Zhang Yun has seen Your Majesty, and the minister is terrified when he sees Your Majesty. After saying that, he also looked at Wanli is rainbow fart, which made Wanli laugh.

Zhang Juzheng was on the side, and when he saw Zhang Yun's appearance, he also frowned slightly, and secretly said in his heart, this kid will not be a flatterer. As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Juzheng began to face Wanli again, which was a teaching: "What appoints virtuous ministers, what don't listen to flattery, pay attention to what the emperors of the ancient Shengming did." Zhang Yun stared at Emperor Wanli's face, and gradually became ugly, and his heart was not good: "I finally know, how did this Zhang Ju be raided by Wanli, you have to leave, and you are still teaching this family, you can imagine how uncomfortable Wanli usually is." I'm going to have to interrupt him. ”

Zhang Yun's mind was spinning rapidly, and finally interrupted Zhang Juzheng and said: "Uncle, Your Majesty already knows, Your Majesty is already a virtuous monarch, he has already understood what you said, and I hope that Uncle will not criticize Your Majesty, besides, Your Majesty is a king, you are a courtier, how can a courtier teach the king a reason."

As soon as Wanli heard Zhang Yun excuse him, although he pretended to scold him on the surface, he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zhang is my Damingzhu Stone and my teacher, and there is nothing wrong with a teacher teaching students." But the heart has already blossomed.

As soon as Zhang Juzheng thought of this, his heart was also stunned, and then he stopped preaching to Wanli.

Zhang Yun met Wanli for the first time and left a good impression on Wanli, the leader. Thinking of this, the smile on Zhang Yun's face became brighter and brighter, and then he reminded Zhang Juzheng and said, "Uncle, have you forgotten to see Your Majesty for something?" ”

Zhang Juzheng then remembered that he entered the palace not only to pave the way for Zhang Yun, but also to let the emperor continue to implement the new policy. Zhang Juzheng said respectfully to Wanli: "Your Majesty, after the old minister leaves, I hope that Your Majesty can continue to implement the new policy, which is the foundation of the country and must be unwavering." ”

When Zhang Yun heard this, he couldn't help but secretly say that Zhang Juzheng was really in too much of a hurry. There is no problem with his new policy, but it is too urgent like Wang Anshi's change, although the will of the above is good, but it cannot be conveyed to the place below, after all, the imperial power does not go to the countryside, and the upper set and the lower set are another. Although Zhang Juzheng can use his power to force everyone to listen to him, he still has to let the common people and Emperor Wanli see the specific benefits.

Zhang Yun then walked out and said: "Your Majesty, I think the new policy can be slowed down for a while, first find a place to pilot, expand from part to whole, and finally deepen the reform in an all-round way." ”

Zhang Juzheng heard Zhang Yun's opposition to the new deal at first, and was just about to attack, but after hearing it, he was also shocked by Zhang Yun's speech, yes, he can personally go to the bottom to supervise it, just from Hubei, Hunan began to fully implement the new deal, and finally expanded to the whole country, as long as the new deal can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he is not afraid that someone will subvert him.

Zhang Juzheng arched his hand to Wanli and said, "Your Majesty, please start from the Lianghu region and fully implement the new policy. Emperor Wanli agreed to Zhang Juzheng's request without thinking about it.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng's new policy, although it has been 10 years old, still has some shortcomings, such as the evaluation of officials, the tax occupies a very heavy position, so that officials have to squeeze the people in order to be promoted. I hope that this time he will return to his hometown and find out the shortcomings of the new policy, and let him go down and take a look.

After that, Zhang Juzheng briefly explained a few words to Emperor Wanli, and then left with Zhang Yun. At this time, Emperor Wanli said: "Mr. Zhang, your nephew is now my companion, let me know more about him, you can go out of the palace first." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng said a few words to Zhang Yun before saluting and leaving.

After Emperor Wanli saw Zhang Juzheng leaving, he changed his serious appearance just now, and the whole person became very lively, circled around Zhang Yun, looking at him, Zhang Yun was also a little chilled by his gaze, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Minister, Zhang Yun has seen Your Majesty." ”

Seeing this, Emperor Wanli said nonchalantly; "Don't be so restrained when you are my companion, you and I are the same age, you tell me about what is delicious and fun outside"

Seeing this, Zhang Yun was no longer restrained, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, ordinary people's homes, at this time, it is to visit Beijing City, there are temple fairs, juggling, all kinds of food, and all kinds of fun are so much. The more Zhang Yun spoke, the more excited he became, and Emperor Wanli was also a little fascinated by it.

As soon as Emperor Wanli thought of himself, he felt a burst of grievances, he was an emperor who was managed by his father and Zhang Juzheng since he was a child, and he never felt comfortable for a day. Thinking that Zhang Juzheng was finally gone, Emperor Wanli's mood improved, after all, no one can control himself in the future, oh no, and his own wife, thinking of this, his mood has become bad.

Zhang Yun saw Wanli's appearance and said, "If Your Majesty is interested, you can go out of the palace with your ministers that day to see what your people are usually doing." ”

Wanli was overjoyed, grabbed Zhang Yun's hand and asked eagerly, "Really?" Can I really do it? ”

At this time, a eunuch next to him kept coughing, interrupting the plan of the two.

Wanli heard someone interrupt and said impatiently: "Feng Daban, if your throat is uncomfortable, go down and rest, I don't need your service." It caused Zhang Yun and the little eunuchs to snicker.

At this time, Feng Bao also said with an embarrassed smile: "Your Majesty, how can you take a risk and go to an outside place, besides, if this matter is known to Master Zhang, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to do." Feng Bao himself may not be able to persuade Wanli to move again, and moved out of Zhang Juzheng.

As soon as these words came out, they were really powerful, and Wanli was stunned all of a sudden.

Zhang Yun looked at Feng Bao from the side, and said secretly in his heart: "Okay, you old eunuch, how do you hurt people, every time you take Zhang Juzheng out to suppress the little emperor, this is to give Wanli a stack of anger value, Wanli anger value is full, my Zhang family will all burp." ”

Zhang Yun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is already going back to his hometown, besides, Your Majesty is a king, he is a courtier, how can there be a monarch who is afraid of his courtiers, Your Majesty respects Lord Zhang, not afraid of Lord Zhang, you say yes, Gonggong Feng" said, turned his head and smiled at Feng Bao.

Wanli also felt better after hearing this, so he rewarded Zhang Yun with 200 taels of silver and asked him to retire. Feng Bao stood beside him with an aggrieved face, looking at the direction Zhang Yun left thoughtfully, as if to say, "Zhang Juzheng, your nephew is really not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

When Zhang Yun walked out of the Forbidden City, it was already dark, looking at the brightly lit Forbidden City, Zhang Yun secretly said in his heart: "It is incumbent upon my generation to recast the glory of the Ming Dynasty." ”
