What exactly is the contradiction? It is a set of studies that have entered the WTO, a set of methodologies that enable people to see through the appearance of chaos and see the essence, and it is neither complicated nor difficult.

The method of using the contradiction theory is to trace the origin of a social phenomenon, understand the process of the development of things behind it, find the main contradiction, analyze the main contradiction faithfully, discuss the facts, and practice the facts, analyze the secondary contradiction, and find the problems and causes in the phenomenon.

After an extremely complex struggle, only by adjusting the main contradictions can Zhang Juzheng's ambition be realized and the main theme of making the Ming Dynasty great again.

Whether or not you can grasp the main contradiction can judge whether a person is virtuous or not.

As for the main contradiction, Zhang Ju is the only super-shooter in the current Ming world, and most of the Ming courtiers are second-class.

Zhang Juzheng has done several things in his life, such as taking the law test, returning the land to the law, revitalizing the military and strengthening the army, and rectifying the study and politics, which correspond to the rule of officials, economy, military and culture, and in these four aspects, Zhang Juzheng completely grasped the main contradiction, as an auxiliary minister, as the head of the country, Zhang Juzheng is absolutely qualified, and even far beyond others.

It's not that other people can't grasp the main contradiction and can't distinguish the priorities, but that they are different on the other side, so they behave differently.

Isn't Yan Song smart enough? Isn't Xu Jie's smart enough? Why can't they grasp the main contradiction when they are in power? They actually know very well what the problems of the Ming Dynasty are, but their purpose is different, their purpose is the power and means of production of their own family.

Gao Gong's purpose is always to inspire Daming, why didn't he catch the contradiction?

In fact, Gao Gong caught it, but he couldn't do it.

Just in terms of the rule of officials, bribery is appeasement, not appeasement, talking about bribery is a false proposition, but Gao Gong itself is highly dependent on the Jin Party organization, so he can only be appeased. Gao Gong's first downfall was to appease Yang Bo as the secretary of the ministry, and none of the officials from Shanxi were demoted and dismissed, which caused a huge controversy.

Gao Gong can't be appeased, but Zhang Juzheng can, he is also appeased, but he appeases not to look at the position, but only to see whether he can do anything and whether he can be called a follower.

Contradiction theory can see through the appearance of chaos and see the essence of everything, so what is the essence of contradiction theory?

The essence of the contradiction theory is practice, the reality of practice, the one who does it, and the faithfulness of the one.

Contradiction theory is a passive skill, after learning, you can get the eye to break delusion, and you can also cultivate talents to govern the local government, which is also an important theoretical basis for Zhang Juzheng's rectification of academic politics.

And this time, Yin Zhengmao entered Beijing and gave the country surname, which was completely based on the contradiction theory and the current national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, and finally obtained a result.

Zhang Juzheng looked at his inscription and continued: "In the early years of Hongwu, Yunnan was far away from the border, and it was difficult to be in military bondage, and at that time, Emperor Taizu Gao's division of the kings of the world was also based on this practical decision, and now, Luzon is also far away from the border, and military bondage is difficult, these are these two things, the same dilemma. ”

"And now the rule of the Ming Dynasty on Luzon, facing more difficulties, that is, the economy, until now, Yunnan still depends on the supply of the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and the products are not rich, but Luzon is a trade center that distributes the world's department stores, cotton from India, porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, silk, cotton cloth, carpets from India and Persia, cotton, palm oil, perfume from Malacca, cloves from Java, cinnamon from Ceylon, and other spices from the country of a thousand islands, such as pepper from bulk trade."

"Luzon is less economically dependent on the Ming Dynasty, even if the Ming Dynasty bans the maritime trade with Manila, a large number of smuggling merchants can bring the goods of the Ming Dynasty to Manila."

"The galleon can even complete the trade directly in Manila, without coming to Daming, which can save two months of voyage in a trade cycle, once Yin Zhengmao holds the silver input of Taixi, Daming has no good way."

"Yin Butang is indeed an official of the Ming Dynasty and the governor sent to Luzon by the Ming Dynasty, but he himself is the de facto king of Luzon, and he has 3,000 guest soldiers and 5,000 co-servants who were originally composed of pirates, an overseas lonely place where they can use their own money and be proud of their soldiers."

"Therefore, I think we can add some restraints in politics, at least Yin Butang is the ministry of the Ming Dynasty, not the overseas Hongmaofan."

Everyone's feelings when they hear this passage are completely different, for example, what Wang Chonggu heard was cold-blooded and ruthless, Yin Zhengmao is the key chess piece for Zhang Juzheng and the Gao Gong Party to win, and the crucial position of the governor of Liangguang and Guangzhou, Yin Zhengmao can calm the widow and make Zhang Juzheng have more chips in his hand.

Now that Zhang Juzheng has turned his face and doesn't recognize people, this analysis has completely put Yin Zhengmao on the opposite side to analyze!

That's Yin Zhengmao, he is greedy, but he has never betrayed Daming.

Tan Lun frowned and said: "Yin Butang is loyal to the monarch and the country, Yuan Fu's analysis completely excludes Yin Butang's personal factors, it is too ruthless, and I think we are not in Luzon, I don't know the situation there, such an analysis is unfaithful, it is a blind peep in the tube." ”

"Really?" Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "Under the general trend, the strength of the individual is weak, so when analyzing the problem, it is necessary to exclude personal factors. ”

"So I think we should increase the political constraints on Luzon, so I thought of the old example of the Duke of Qian."

Tan Lun shook his head after thinking about it again and again, and said, "I agree with your disposition, but I don't agree with your analysis of Luzon. ”

"Yin Butang and his subordinates, the sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty is extremely strong, and they have an absolute centripetal force for the Ming Dynasty, and we can further strengthen the system design, such as regularly rotating generals, regularly sending Shu Ben generals, regularly replacing the defenders, and its core of 3,000 guest soldiers is rotated once every five years."

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Seeking common ground while reserving differences, I have never said that Yin Butang is now the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, but that he may be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty in the future. ”

Zhang Fu went to Annam twice and turned Annam into the Jiaozhi Political Division, and during the Xuande period, the Jiaozhi Political Division became Annan again.

Under the massive, professional and precise actuarial calculations of the Ming court, it was believed that the Ming Dynasty ruled Jiaozhi to do more harm than good, and then the Ming Dynasty's activities to the West were most completely destroyed, if it were not for the original Hu Zongxian invited Zheng He to the old case, Zheng He's envoy to the water Cheng Wen Mu old case was retained by Mao Kun, the Ming Dynasty is now open to the sea, and even archaeological scientific research can not be carried out.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng's attitude towards Luzon was extremely cautious, and he did not let Yin Zhengmao become the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, so he completely turned Yin Zhengmao into his own person.

Wang Guoguang frowned and said: "In fact, economically, Luzon's trade is also highly dependent on the Ming Dynasty, looking for unity while opposing each other, and maximizing Luzon's binding to the Ming Dynasty, this approach is also feasible. ”

"Highly dependent on the Ming Dynasty and unable to break free, this is the purpose and meaning of bondage."

"I also agree with your disposition, but I do not agree with your analysis of Luzon."

Wang Guoguang, Tan Lun, and Zhang Juzheng have some differences in political opinions, and this difference is not violent, and it is possible to seek common ground while reserving differences.

Hai Rui thought again and again and said: "Why don't you set up the Luzon political secretary, now the administration of Luzon is a little chaotic, if it is a county, it is a plan, just like the establishment of the political department in Yunnan, the current Hainan, is not also after the county, gradually become what it is now?" ”

Countyization, which is regarded as a traditional skill of the Central Plains Dynasty, can be traced back to Qin Shi Huang.

Wang Chonggu said with some disapproval: "What General Hai said is unrealistic, just these cheap Confucians in the Ming Dynasty, they went out of the Beijing Hall to denigrate and impeach Qi Shuai, and they refused to go to the barracks for even one day!" Let Zhou Liangyin go to Daningwei, how many people will cry out for him, it is easy to say that the county is county, and the government and county are drawn on the Kanyu map, but what about the officials? ”

"There are no people who are willing to go at all, as soon as I hear that I am going to Luzon, I am afraid that it will be regarded as exile overseas, yes, for the dynasty, this is very important, but specific to each Confucian student, they went to Luzon to be an official, that is, exile, that is, to endure hardships, what environment is Luzon, what environment is Daming, if you can endure this hardship, you can be promoted in the hinterland of Daming, and you still need to go to Luzon?"

Wang Chonggu said that everyone agrees, the Ming Dynasty is like this, even reading only the Four Books and the Five Classics, not even reading historiography, since the "Spring and Autumn Period", there is no great history in the pen, only memorization, where did the Confucian students from the Ming Dynasty were willing to go to Luzon?

Therefore, Wang Chonggu has always agreed with Zhang Juzheng's rectification of study and politics, not only Zhang Siwei was bewitched by the heresy of He Xinyin, Zeng Guangzhi and others, but if he does not rectify his study and politics, there are few people who are willing to do things.

Doing things is for people to do, and if you don't do a good job in selecting talents, everything is in the air.

Qi Jiguang broke away from the selected high-quality sergeants, and he couldn't win the battle.

"Someone will go." Hai Rui said with great conviction.

"Oh?" Wang Chonggu asked suspiciously, "Who is going?" ”

"Raise people, if the Ming Dynasty is not Chinese three times, it will not be able to take the imperial examination, how many people are waiting to be officials, but they have no position, they can only be trapped in the officials, let them go, they will definitely go." Hai Rui said with a smile: "I was born as a lifter, and I climbed to the position of a courtier, or because I was a sloppy public security back then. ”

Hai Rui never denied that he was on the "Public Security Sparse", and angrily reprimanded Emperor Sejong for bringing him terrifying political capital by cultivating immortals, and he was able to sit in the position of the imperial history of the right capital today, and made the general constitution without any objections.

And going to work in Luzon is also a kind of political capital.

"Good!" Wang Chong couldn't help but nod and said, "Indeed, Daming can still lack people who are officials?" Very good, my eyes only saw Jinshi, and I didn't see the countless people in Daming. ”

More than 4,000 people participated in each examination, and there were more than 300 jinshi students, and 1,280 people were selected for each imperial examination.

In the third year of Hongwu, the number of people rated in the township test was 470, the quota in the first year of Xuande was 550, the number of orthodox years was 760, the number of Jingtai was 1145 in the fourth year, and 1287 in the second year of Wanli.

In the past two hundred years, more and more people have been raised, and the imperial examinations have become more and more rolled.

"If you can give Enke Jinshi, you will definitely rush to it, and I am afraid that the whole Luzon will be lifted." Hai Jui went on to suggest a method of encouragement, and gave it to Enke Jinshi.

There are three kinds of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, the first kind of Jinshi and the first, which are the top three in the imperial examination, which are the first class; the second is from Jinshi, which is the second class; The third type is from the same Jinshi and is listed in the top three lists.

Zhang Juzheng was born in the second class and was selected into the Hanlin Academy, and he was a Jishi; Wang Chonggu is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years, and he is the second 87th, and he was elected to the Hanlin Academy without a museum, so it is difficult for him to enter the cabinet; And Fang Fengshi was the third and 31st in Jiajing's 20 years, and he was born in the same jinshi, and he didn't even have the qualifications for the hall selection.

Gao Gong, Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi are on the same list, all of them have been in Jiajing for 20 years.

And Hai Rui's special gift to Enke Jinshi is also a kind of background, and the more famous one in history is Liu Yongliu's three changes.

Liu Yong repeatedly failed to pass the test, and he could only linger in the Qinglou and make a living by writing words, but he still wanted to take the test.

Daming does not have a person who has sunk in the field, because Daming will not be allowed to take the test if he fails to pass the exam three times...

Therefore, in the context of the Ming Dynasty, the special gift of Enke Jinshi is that those who have great merit especially reward a Jinshi who is exceptionally gracious to the emperor.

"That's a good idea." Zhang Juzheng copied what Hai Rui said to his own question book, this thing is used to change the land and return to the stream, and it is also the big move in the big move! It's very easy to use, and it can mobilize enthusiasm, so you really need to pay attention to it.

"Then after Yin Butang returns to Beijing, let's discuss it carefully, I am also willing to believe that Yin Butang is not the enemy of the Ming Dynasty." Of course, Zhang Juzheng hopes that Yin Zhengmao will not become the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and Luzon can become the political secretary of the Ming Dynasty and land smoothly.

Zhang Juzheng wrote the floating ticket, and roughly formulated a number of questions for meeting Yin Zhengmao, which needs to look at the specific results of the face saint, and then make various corresponding preparations, if Yin Zhengmao enters Beijing and even the courtiers do not abide by the etiquette, then what the Ming should do is to prepare for war and punishment, not to celebrate.

Wang Chonggu opened his mouth and said: "Hui Chao will be Wei Zonghan, Wang Rucheng, and Jieshi will be the chief Zhu Xiang, all of them will die. ”

"I sincerely know the inevitability of the revitalization of the country, but the death of these two generals and the general is also the long-term strategy of the revitalization of the military."

Wang Chonggu, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, beheaded the three military generals, this is an old case, and it can be regarded as a difficult case, it has been many years, and it has not been conclusive.

Wang Chonggu opened his mouth and said: "In May of the second year of Longqing, Haikou Zeng Yi, who had been recruited, rebelled, killed Chenghai Zhixian County, burned the people of Chaoshan, and in October, Zeng Yi entered Kolei Prefecture, and the generals Wei Zonghan and Wang Rucheng put Zhu Xiang, who saw death and did not save him, sat and watched the city (Dongguan) garrison Li Maocai fight alone for dozens of days, the city broke Li Maocai was killed, and the people of Dongguan were slaughtered. ”

"Li Maocai, Li Jie, Lin Qing and others were killed in battle, the pirates were burned, and Huicheng (Dongguan) was defeated, while Wei Zonghan and others fled and retreated one after another, causing the pirates to run rampant in Haiaozhong, and the defeat of Huicheng was particularly bad."

Wang Chonggu told the mistakes made by these people concisely and concisely.

This is the reason why Yin Zhengmao had to go to sea to recruit Lin Afeng, and if Lin Afeng was left in Guangzhou, wouldn't he have to make another Zeng Yiyi come out? Therefore, Yin Zhengmao directly restrained Lin Afeng into the scope of Luzon.

This was recruited by the imperial court, and then rebelled, gathering red hair, black fan, widows, and outlaws to run rampant, until the sixth year of Longqing, was defeated by Yu Dayou, and was finally arrested, and the head was shown to the public.

And the general actions of these two generals and generals can be roughly summed up as follows: the friendly army is as fast as a mountain when it is difficult to move, retreats and turns into its swift wind, outflanks its Xu Rulin, plunders money and invades like fire, three cups and two lamps are difficult to know like yin, and promotion and wealth are like thunder.

"Why do you want to die now?" Zhu Yijun asked inexplicably, according to the intensity of the Ming Xingwen and martial arts, these three generals, the mistakes made in the second year of Longqing, have actually been detained until now?

Wang Chonggu was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you can kill it now." ”

"Why can't you kill before?" Zhu Yijun still asked unwillingly.

"Your Majesty, don't ask, don't ask." Wang Chonggu still insisted on refusing to speak.

"Why, exactly? Why is the big priest so taboo? Zhu Yijun continued to ask, he really wanted to ask today.

Wan Shihe saw that Wang Chonggu refused to say whether he was alive or dead, thought about it and said: "What can't be said about Da Sikou, isn't it just for deliberations in the Wenhua Palace?" These three people are all sheltered by Wang Shizhen's father Wang Chen, and Wang Shizhen, known as the head of the retro seven sons, is the leader of the literary world of the main league. ”

Zhu Yijun understood, nodded and said, "It turned out to be appeasement." ”

"Isn't Wang Shizhen the governor of Yunyang? He dominates the literary world? It's such a big name, and Mr. doesn't dare to claim the title of the main league literary circle. ”

The head of the retro seven sons, this name Zhu Yijun doesn't like it very much, retro worship of the ancient has become a trend, and even the high arch does not approve of this practice.

"Zhang Hong, you look for Wang Shizhen's earthquake last year, I am very impressed by that book." Zhu Yijun didn't have a deep impression of Wang Shizhen, but he remembered that there was such a book.

Zhang Hong quickly found out the song, Zhu Yijun looked at it for a long time, frowned and said: "Is Wang Shizhen really the leader of the literary world?" Do Confucian classics include the study of divination? He said that he had read in detail the divination theory of Jingfang, a fortune teller in the Western Han Dynasty, and believed that the Huguang earthquake last year was caused by the Taisheng of the ministers and the restlessness of Kunwei. ”

"Your Majesty is silent, strange and confused." Zhang Juzheng has seen this recital, Lu Tiaoyang posted a blank floating ticket, as an impeachment of Zhang Juzheng's recital, the emperor drew a ×, Zhu Yijun actually didn't take it seriously at the time, he felt that this was a cheap Confucian, far-fetched.

Even if the earthquake is blamed on the turning of the earth dragon, it is a natural phenomenon, it is said that Zhang Juzheng caused the earthquake by the country, is Zhang Ju a hydrogen bomb? Can an explosion caused by an explosion buried in the ground can cause an earthquake? How much equivalent does Zhang Juzheng have to blow up a natural disaster like an earthquake?

Wang Chonggu's taboo appearance made Zhu Yijun understand Wang Shizhen's appeal.

"He can be the leader of the literary world, and it's strange if the literary world can be good." Zhu Yijun closed Wang Shizhen's recital, this earthquake is sparse and smelly.

Wang Chonggu explained: "These three generals took refuge in Wang Shizhen's father Wang Chen, and this Wang Chen, and was unjustly killed by Yan Song, in the second year of Longqing, Wang Shizhen and his younger brother went to Beijing to complain, shouting for their father, and the first emperor redressed Wang Chen's grievances Zhaoxue, so these three generals could not be killed, and it has been delayed until now." ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Tan Lun and asked, "What does Da Sima think?" ”

"The three of them should have died a long time ago, if it weren't for Yin Butang, Yu Long and others to handle it properly, Zeng Yi's Haikou didn't know how long it would be to make trouble, if it weren't for these three guys who didn't save them when they saw death, Guangzhou wouldn't have been so fierce." Tan Lun said with great certainty.

"Wang Shizhen has a good relationship with Da Sima and Qi Shuai, and I heard that Qi Shuai also gave Wang Shizhen a sword." Wang Chonggu saw that Tan Lun did not intercede with these three generals, but fell into the ground, and asked a little strangely.

The reason why these two generals have not been beheaded, in addition to the fact that these three people are all recommended by Wang Chen, the general trend of Wang Chen's rehabilitation cannot be beheaded, there is another reason, this Wang Shizhen has a very good relationship with Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang, and he is also on the same list as Zhang Juzheng.

So Wang Chonggu didn't want to say it, His Majesty kept asking, and Wan Shihe explained the key person, Wang Shizhen.

"Who gave him the sword? Says who? Tan Lun was stunned, how could he not know that he had a good relationship with Wang Shizhen?

Wang Chonggu was silent for a moment and said, "He said it himself, and he also wrote a song about General Qi giving a sword. ”

"Sword? This matter, in the second year of Longqing, after Wang Chen redressed his grievances, I did go to meet Qi Shuai and Wang Daokun to congratulate him, which was a congratulatory gift, isn't this all human affection? When Dasikou and Yang Dazai first got married, we also sent the same congratulatory gift. Tan Lun remembered that it was true, and everyone sent congratulatory gifts, but Wang Shizhen deliberately took out Qi Jiguang's sword to write poems, which was very interesting.

Everyone has different circles on weekdays, how do you know that Wang Shizhen used that sword to create such an illusion.

"It is also rumored that my son and Zhang Siwei's daughter have married and become in-laws, and I want to ask who spread the rumors." Ma Ziqiang said very helplessly, there have been many rumors recently, saying that Ma Ziqiang's son and Zhang Siwei's daughter have long been married, Zhang Siwei and Ma Ziqiang are sons and daughters, and the three clans will be razed to Ma Ziqiang's head.

Ma Ziqiang looked inexplicable.

"Didn't you?" Wang Chonggu looked at Ma Ziqiang in surprise and said, "You and Zhang Siwei are not sons and daughters?" ”

"My daughter-in-law is indeed surnamed Zhang, but it is the Zhang family of Tongzhou, not the Zhang family of Puzhou!" Ma Ziqiang looked at Wang Chonggu in surprise and said, "Why do you have this question? ”

Wang Chonggu said in amazement: "Zhang Siwei told me that I was in charge of the resettlement of displaced people in the northwest at that time, and I didn't have time to take care of him, so he told me that he married his daughter to your family. ”

Some accounts cannot be reconciled, this is the power of double-entry accounting of income and expenditure, and some things will be exposed as soon as they are reconciled.

As long as the three ladies take out the past accounts and reconcile them with the Ming court, it will be clear how many moths the clan party has done in the middle.

Wang Shizhen took the congratulatory gift sent by Qi Jiguang and wrote a poem, making it seem that he Wang Shizhen and Qi Jiguang had a bad relationship, and Zhang Siwei directly arranged that he and Ma Ziqiang were sons and daughters.

Qi Jiguang is in the northwest, so naturally he can't refute it personally, but Ma Ziqiang is stupid, where is his daughter-in-law, he doesn't know?

In the second year of Wanli, his son Ma Yu had a marriage contract before entering the Beijing Imperial Examination, and Ma Ziqiang was worried about filial piety in his hometown at that time, and it was not until the end of Ma Ziqiang Ding Wei in the third year of Wanli that his son got married.

Zhu Yijun looked at all the courtiers with amusement, this is the Ming Dynasty, an era when information cannot be effectively circulated, information cannot be circulated effectively and smoothly, and the powerful people who occupy the information circulation channels are deliberately exaggerated and spread rumors, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The affairs of the Ming Dynasty are that you have me, I have you, and this deliberate arrangement makes it even more chaotic.

When it comes to Ma Ziqiang's net worth, Ti Qi has long found out that Ma Ziqiang's daughter-in-law is the Zhang family in Tongzhou, not the Zhang family in Puzhou.

Zhang Juzheng wrote the floating ticket and handed it to His Majesty Zhu Pi, these three people should have died a long time ago.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, Zhu Yijun met with Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Luzon, in the side hall of the Wenhua Palace.

Yin Zhengmao arrived in Tongzhou the day before yesterday, after bathing and changing clothes, he went to the Huitong Pavilion yesterday, and waited for the summons after burning incense, even if Yin Zhengmao had exhausted his imagination, but when he entered the palace and saw the construction site not far away, he was still dumbfounded.

Yin Zhengmao has mixed feelings, his heart can be described as a mixture of five flavors, the central axis of the Ming Dynasty building, in the 36th year of Jiajing was burned down, to Jiajing 41 years of reconstruction, this is just more than ten years, and it was burned all the way up.

"Xuan Sishui Bo, the military department Shangshu, the governor of Luzon Yin Zhengmao Yin Butang to the palace." Little Yellow Gate shouted loudly.

Yin Zhengmao walked into the side hall of the Wenhua Hall step by step, flicked his sleeves, respectfully bowed five times and kowtowed, and shouted loudly: "Minister Yin Zhengmao, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

"Yin Butang is exempt." Zhu Yijun said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Zhengmao stood up and looked at the little emperor, which was completely different from the little fat dun in his impression, the current little emperor looked a little strong and heroic.

Zhu Yijun was also looking at Yin Zhengmao, with a wide forehead, a large nose, and a wide nose, looking quite free and open-minded.

In line with Zhu Yijun's stereotype of a literati with soldiers, Yin Zhengmao and Tan Lun's temperament is highly similar.

"Yin Butang, when Mr. asked, I said that I would wait until Yin Butang returned to Beijing, but now that Yin Butang has returned to Beijing, these questions have to be asked." Zhu Yijun asked calmly: "It is said that Yin Butang is greedy, where did all the money that Yin Butang got in Liangguang go back then?" ”

Yin Zhengmao bowed his head and said, "It's all used to raise soldiers." ”

The friendly army is difficult to move like a mountain, retreat and turn into its speed like the wind, tsk, ask for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!
