Chapter Twenty-Six: I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope the sea will be peaceful

Why didn't Zhu Yijun suspect that Ge Shouli was opening his eyes for the Jin Party?

Because Ge Shouli is charging into battle, attacking Shoufu This kind of thing, the most reasonable process is to let the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate charge into battle, instead of Ge Shouli, his own general constitution, rushing up to give it in vain.

Ge Shouli's suspicions, Ge Shouli's doubts, and Ge Shouli's questioning are actually based on a basic point of suspicion.

That is, Zhang Juzheng is referring to the deer as a horse.

Zhu Yijun inquired with the old farmer about the yield per mu.

Ge Shouli used to be the head of the household department of the Ming Dynasty, and he should have some understanding of the yield per mu, so as soon as he heard that the yield per mu was more than 1,000 catties, his thinking immediately jumped to Zhang Juzheng's exercise of authority and the practice of imperial power.

Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, is indeed a bit domineering.

The yield per mu in the north of the Ming Dynasty, one acre of land, wheat harvested in summer and millet harvested in autumn, add up to more than two stones, about 300 catties;

In the south, the mu yields summer harvest rice and autumn harvest rice, wheat or rice beans, and one mu of land can produce about four stones of grain a year, which is about 570 catties.

What did Luo Gongchen say? What is the concept of saying that the yield per mu is dozens of stones, even if it is fifteen stones per mu? Even potatoes and sweet potatoes are not delicious, they are also food, when you are hungry, where can you care about whether they are delicious or not?

In Ge Shouli's view, isn't this Zhang Juzheng referring to the deer as a horse?

Not to mention Ge Shouli, the ministers of the DPRK and China, there are few who believe it.

If Zhu Yijun didn't know that this lump of soil could really produce dozens of stones, he would also think that Zhang Juzheng was exaggerating and uniting with Luo Gongchen to deceive the monarch.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Ge Zongxian, Luo Tongzhi has come up with such auspicious resources, and it is also for the sake of the Daming Jiangshan Sheji, hasn't this already started planting?" Why don't you wait for the results to come out? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified." Ge Shouli shook his sleeves, knelt on the ground and bowed five times and three times, and said bitterly.

Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked, "Is Ge Zongxian farming?" I have some questions that I am suspicious and want to ask. ”

Ge Shouli was a little stunned, he said in a daze: "Minister... It's not about farming. ”

"Forget it, you can move on." Zhu Yijun waved his hand indifferently and motioned for Ge Shouli to sit down.

Ge Shouli stood up in a daze, sat down in his place in confusion, and realized that he seemed to be in the middle of the trap.

This attack and impeachment of the head of the Wenyuan Pavilion by the General Constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate ended in vain under the condition that His Majesty the Emperor pulled the bias.

Ge Shouli came back to his senses and knew what his problem was.

He is talking about the rules, His Majesty is talking to him about the facts, he keeps saying that Kuang Fu is here, and he is very difficult with others, but he can't even answer the doubts of the ten-year-old little emperor, so what else is Kuang Fu Fu talking about?

The court discussion continued, and the matter of Qi Jiguang sending Dong Fox's nephew back to Beijing was put on the agenda.

Zhang Juzheng meant that Kaide Shengmen would receive a reward from the military department in Fengtian Palace, while Yang Bo proposed to let Qi Jiguang hand over the criminals in Beitucheng and receive the reward in Beitucheng to return to Jizhou as soon as possible, the reason was that he was afraid that the Beiyu would go south again to commit crimes, and as the chief military officer, Qi Jiguang should go back as soon as possible.

And Lu Shusheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also expressed his opposition to Qi Jiguang's entry into the city, and the border general entered the city for no reason, which was inconsistent with the ceremony.

Zhu Yijun thought it was extremely funny, Tan Lun of the Jin Party here jumped back and was like-minded with Zhang Juzheng, while Lu Shusheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites promoted by Zhang Juzheng over there, stabbed Zhang Juzheng in the back and played with the Jin Party.

Lu Shusheng is a native of Huating, Songjiang Mansion, that is, the Huating person of Songjiang Mansion who was the first assistant of Xu Jie, Lu Shusheng is Xu Jie's fellow villager, and when Xu Jie's Hanlin Academy was in charge, he was Zhang Juzheng and Lu Shusheng's teacher.

After more than ten years of wind and rain, the Xu Party, who defeated Yan Song back then, has already taken a break from everything, and most of those who still remain in the court have thrown themselves into the arms of the Jin Party or the Zhang Party.

Zhang Juzheng and Lu Shusheng have a friendship with classmates, so after Emperor Longqing's great trip and the vacancy of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Shusheng became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites under the recommendation of Zhang Juzheng.

Then, in Luo Gongchen's desire to collect foreign ship taxes, in Qi Jiguang's return to the dynasty to receive rewards, and in the emperor's personal affairs of Nongsang, Lu Shusheng gave Zhang Juzheng three backstabs.

Zhang Juzheng was not too persistent, but continued to preside over the court meeting to the end.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are retired." The ministers saluted and began to withdraw from the Wenhua Palace, and the attendants, attendants, and exhibition officials began to enter.

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is a person recommended by the minister, this person is originally from a farmer, familiar with agricultural affairs, and has extraordinary knowledge of agricultural affairs. ”

"Has Mr. Motosuke ever farmed?" Zhu Yijun didn't seem to care very much and asked.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "I planted it when I was very young, and then after I became a child, I never went to the field again. ”

"Oh? Since it was recommended by Yuanfu, where is this person now? Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "People are running around in Beijing. ”

Zhang Juzheng is a military household, the Ming Dynasty's military garrison, is both farming and farming, so Zhang Juzheng really went to the ground when he was a child, but it was just a playful nature, after studying, he no longer did farming, concentrated on studying to gain fame, 12-year-old Xiucai, 16-year-old lifter, 23-year-old Jinshi, he has never planted.

The Xu Zhenming he recommended has nothing to do with the Jin Party in the DPRK, and it has little to do with him Zhang Juzheng, he belongs to the new science and technology Jinshi, and his ranking is not high.

The seat teacher of the Ming Dynasty is a kind of partisan relationship, but the ranking of the examination is relatively low, and he is not qualified to be the master of the examination.

For example, the main exam in Longqing's fifth year is Zhang Siwei, but Zhang Siwei is not Xu Zhenming's teacher, Xu Zhenming just wants to worship under Zhang Siwei's name, and Zhang Siwei is willing to accept it.

Xu Zhenming will not do anything, he will only cultivate land and water conservancy.

Just when Xu Zhenming planned to make persistent efforts to promote the reclamation of land and water conservancy, he touched the interests of the powerful and powerful in Shanyin, and was obstructed from continuing.

Zhang Juzheng has seen Xu Zhenming's recital, not to mention anything else, farming is a good hand.

After being impeached by the officials, Xu Zhenming stayed idle and returned to Beijing to run, hoping to find someone to recommend, but he was never able to find a way, the DPRK and China were either Jin Party or Zhang Dang, whether it was Yang Bo or Zhang Juzheng, it was not a top three with the Jinshi background, Xu Zhenming, who was a county magistrate in Shanyin, could work.

If you want to worship under Zhang Juzheng or Yang Bo, how can it be so simple.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "After I practice martial arts today, let him come to Jingshan and see him." ”

Zhang Juzheng began to talk about the feast, an hour, half an hour is the Analects, half an hour is the emperor's diagram, every doubt, Zhang Juzheng is extremely careful to answer, and His Majesty's inquiry, some questions are sharp and tricky, even Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, is a little difficult to answer.

Zhang Juzheng sat down and said: "Zi said: "If you don't suffer from people, you don't know yourself, and you don't know people when you suffer." ”

"The Master said, "Don't worry that others don't understand you, just worry that you don't understand others."

"A gentleman is diligent, and he doesn't do things so that others will know."

"I have done good deeds for fear that Your Majesty will not know, and I am afraid that I will not get a title and an official position; If you have an understanding and don't share it with others, and worry that others will rob you of your reputation and fame, these are all things that those who seek fame will worry about. ”

"And the gentleman's virtue, integrity, and knowledge are all in himself, and whether others know it or not, approve it or not, there is nothing to worry about, and it will not affect the gentleman's behavior."

"Your Majesty is above the Nine Folds, and if you can't distinguish between virtuous and mediocre, and if you can't tell whether a decree is beneficial or harmful, and you are easily deceived by others, you should be vigilant."

"The minister explained: The way of a gentleman is worthy of his heart; Maverick, pure heart. ”

Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked: "Xu Zhenming cultivates 39,000 acres of land, and a family of four has 20 acres of land, so he can raise 2,000 households, and there are thousands of people. ”

"Gentleman too." Zhang Juzheng replied quite solemnly, if Xu Zhenming was not a gentleman, Zhang Juzheng would not recommend it.

"Qi Jiguang has trained hard for three years with 6,000 troops, fought for more than ten years, fought for thousands of miles, did not disturb a family, had strict military discipline, was famous both inside and outside, went to Jizhou, refused to be captured outside the Great Wall, and his title was not obvious, so he could be called a gentleman?"

"Gentleman too." Zhang Juzheng sensed that something was wrong, but he still answered the question head-on, Qi Jiguang should have been knighted according to his military merits, but where is his title? What did Qi Jiguang say?

Qi Jiguang said: I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope the sea will be peaceful.

Zhu Yijun wrote down the names of Xu Zhenming and Qi Jiguang, and after reading it for a long time, he said: "Xu Zhenming is born in the people, he does not invite merit or fame, and now he lives idle; Qi Jiguang turned to the north and south, and the Ping Japanese refused to be captured in the north, and there was no lord and no edict. ”

"Mr. Yuanfu taught me, why did Xu Zhenming have no way to ask for help? Qi Jiguang sent Dong Fox's nephew to Beijing, why couldn't he enter Beijing to receive the reward? You can only stop in that Beitu City, and you can't stay in a hurry to get the reward? ”

Really!

Zhang Juzheng knew that it would never be so smooth sailing for the little emperor to give a feast!

Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and said: "Xu Zhenming doesn't need to ask for help, he has already been recommended by the minister, and Qi Shuai will not only stay in Beitu City." ”

Xu Zhenming didn't have a way to ask Zhang Juzheng here, Zhang Juzheng was thinking that the emperor wanted to ask Nongsang and had to find a professional person, so he thought of Xu Zhenming, as for the border generals to enter the city, Zhang Juzheng also had a plan.

Zhang Juzheng is clever here, His Majesty uses facts to ask the rules, but Zhang Juzheng avoids the rules and talks about the facts, this is sophistry, but from the perspective of the rules, Zhang Juzheng can't answer, he can only try to be vague.

The corners of Zhu Yijun's mouth hooked a smile, and he heard Zhang Juzheng vague.

Qi Jiguang is still good, and he took refuge under Zhang Juzheng.

Yu Long Qihu, Yu Dayou is also a famous general of Pingwei, famous for the dragon general, until now he is just a four-grade commander, he can't do anything, and the impeachment of the official who does a little bit of things will follow one after another, and Yu Dayou is two levels higher than Luo Gongchen, the coastal defense of the fifth grade.

Zhu Yijun picked up the brush on the table, thought about it and said: "Don't forget your original intention, your heart is like a rock, you do things in a down-to-earth manner, you have a job, you are a real gentleman, you have nothing to do out of nothing, you deliberately create contradictions, and you are a real villain." Who is a virtuous minister, who is a minister, whose actions are beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, whose actions are harmful to the Ming Dynasty, know others, you can judge one or two according to this standard. ”

"It is said: the original heart is like a rock, the line is far-reaching, and the true gentleman is also; The benefit of the tongue is in vain, and the real villain is also. Which is advancing, which is retreating, which is lossy, which is beneficial, knowing oneself and knowing others, thinking and doing. ”

Zhang Juzheng read it carefully, and then said solemnly: "Your Majesty is wise." ”

Zhang Juzheng was a little puzzled, Feng Bao couldn't teach such a truth, Empress Dowager Li couldn't teach such a truth, who taught these truths?

These truths are precisely the words between him Zhang Juzheng and His Majesty!

Zhang Juzheng took a look around and found that he taught these truths!
