Chapter 255: Find a way to lend him some more
Zhu Yijun, the emperor, was recognized by the courtiers, because although His Majesty was violent, he was definitely not abusive.
For example, in the case of Wang Xijue, His Majesty even summoned Wang Xijue in person, and everyone sang a play with a clear pretend, Wang Xijue stopped, and the emperor was not to blame in the past, just like cutting off Wang Chonggu's hair.
For example, corruption, everyone took it in the past, but if you don't take it, you are an outlier in the court, and you don't even have the opportunity to stay in this vanity fair, how can you talk about the future? Hai Jui is so incorruptible that he can only use it as a banner, not as a follower, even though Hai Jui is really capable.
After the general trend has changed, immediately turn around in time, this is a good choice, unwilling to charge, unwilling to be the first bird, unwilling to work hard for the country, but someone with their head against the sky to change their lives, followed by shouting twice on the side, to strengthen the momentum, it is not stupid, but always insist on refusing to turn around, you can only turn around.
Wang Xijue is a typical example of this, the emperor came to you to talk, handed over the stolen money since Wanli, and since then he has stopped, the Imperial Court played, and the emperor Zhu did not allow it, and this matter has passed, Wang Xijue is still a majestic member of the Ming Dynasty, and he can still rank in the third class in the Ming Dynasty.
But Wang Xijue refused, maybe it was greed, maybe he went too far and too deep, he obviously understood what the emperor meant, but he knew how to pretend not to understand, and finally made trouble to this point.
Not teaching and punishing is abuse, Your Majesty has a violent temperament, but there is absolutely no punishment for not teaching, or teaching, and gives two chances, and again and again, this is Your Majesty's iron law since the assassination of the king.
Zhu Yijun had another leniency for Wang Xijue, that is, when Zhang Juzheng left the court, the emperor beheaded twenty-six courtiers, and Wang Xijue's name was almost filled in at that time.
As for His Majesty's violence, this blames Zhang Juzheng, there is no old bastard, where is the little bastard?
The bastards of this little emperor are exactly the same as Zhang Juzheng's dog temper, his eyes will be reciprocated, and his heart is as small as a needle.
"Let's talk about it." Zhu Yijun thought about it and disposed of it, the first real power of the Ming Dynasty was not as good as Chen Zhuang in the emperor's heart, and Chen Zhuang was even hanged himself.
"Your Majesty, are you going to behead?" Wan Shihe gritted his teeth, or sang against the emperor, according to His Majesty's disposition law, Wang Xijue will not be grateful for the emperor's grace?
"What does Wan Dazai think?" Zhu Yijun kicked the ball back, he didn't understand what Wan Shihe meant for a while, and thought that Wan Shihe was going to intercede with Wang Xijue.
Retreating is also a way to intercede, what does Wan Shihe mean, or do you have to say it and let the emperor guess?
Is the emperor a child, guess!
"Your Majesty's Judgment." Wan Shihe kicked the ball back, he didn't taste the direction of the wind, it was not good to make a direct statement, and Wan Shihe was so strong that he retreated to the state that His Majesty was right.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Then hurry up and hang yourself, he refuses to be decent, so Ti Shuai will help him be decent." ”
Finally, Zhu Yijun still gave Wang Xijue a dignity, Wang Xijue really beheaded the public, it was Wang Xijue who lost his life, but it was the court that lost face, if Wang Xijue committed suicide in fear of crime, then everyone would have decency and leeway.
In the midst of political turmoil, the room is very important, and only when there is room for advance and retreat can there be space and scale.
There are three countries that have died, seeking glory and humiliation, political slackness, and party domination.
The party is in charge of each other, even the most basic rules that should be obeyed are completely abandoned, and the slightest trivial thing can be fought to the death, and the impact on the world is that the imperial court has completely lost its control and interference in the locality, which is the most terrible consequence of party struggle.
For example, the party struggle in the Northern Song Dynasty, the new policy and the old policy have completely lost any meaning, completely for the sake of opposition and opposition, the decree received in the morning is the Qingmiao Law, and the decree received in the evening is to abolish the Qingmiao Law, this magistrate can only come according to his own will, who knows what wind the court is blowing today.
The dragons have no leader, and they go their own way.
The most fierce party struggle in the Ming Dynasty should be from the end of Wanli to the Chongzhen period, Qi Chu, Zhejiang, West and East Lin Eunuch Party, you sing and I take the stage, and the final result is that the yellow-clothed envoy does not go out of Beijing, and the emperor's envoy can no longer get out of the capital.
And the harm of the party to the emperor is that the emperor, the judgment, has lost his value, because the emperor's ruling power has lost its effectiveness.
The reason why Zhu Yijun gave Wang Xijue this last dignity is that he does not expand it, and secondly, it is the group of powerful people behind Wang Xijue, and the imperial court also wants to use them.
For example, the supply of tung oil is provided by Huguang, Jiangxi and Fujian's Tongyuan, for example, the main group of people who can afford to buy boats, hire people, and find boat masters, or the powerful people in the southern Ya Zhufu.
Wan Shihe and the emperor did not have a high degree of tacit understanding this time, Wan Shihe wanted to ask if he wanted to be implicated in the seizure of the family, but Zhu Yijun understood that for Wan Shihe to intercede, since Wan Dazai pleaded, he had to give some face, and the difference from beheading to suicide was not big, it was all death.
Lu Tiaoyang began to write floating tickets, while Zhu Yijun fell into some contemplation.
In the original historical line, Emperor Wanli's complete mess was not even approved, which started from Wang Xijue as the first assistant of the cabinet, because Wang Xijue told Emperor Wanli that if it didn't go well, it could not be approved, and it would not be sent in the middle.
Zhang Juzheng in the early years of Wanli clearly put forward the requirements of listening to the government at the imperial gate, announcing the courtiers, and approving all the requirements in Chen Wushishu.
Zhang Siwei was the first assistant of the cabinet for a few years, he didn't do anything, and he tossed Zhang Juzheng's reputation after his death, and finally Zhang Juzheng's family didn't copy anything, Zhang Siwei was scolded very miserably, returned to his hometown and died.
And after Zhang Siwei, it is Shen Shixing, Shen Shixing is a muddy worm, this one persuades the emperor, that persuades the courtiers, two persuasions, the more you want to please both ends, the more you don't please both ends, and finally suffered a splint Shen Shixing, after thinking about it, this first auxiliary, who likes to do it, anyway, he doesn't do it!
Shen Shixing is usually regarded as a person who is kind to the mud, but he has actually fought with court officials, and even wants to inherit Zhang Juzheng's legacy and quickly promote the new policy, but in the end, because the opposition is too loud, and he does not have too many henchmen, in the turmoil of the crown prince, he became a prince.
After Shen Shixing, the tenure of the first assistant began to get shorter, and most of them did nothing, that is, they just maintained this mess and could run.
Wang Xijue is just one of these first assistants, and the way he goes on can be left in the middle is not outrageous, compared with the old man of the temple Zhu Ge, who lived in the temple, worked for a few years, and went on more than 200 Zhishi songs, and finally hung the seal and left, it is not outrageous.
Since Zhang Juzheng left, Zhang Juzheng's tragic end made everyone afraid, and gave your old Zhu family his life, is this the end?
Zhang Juzheng shouted out that I am not a minister, but a regent, the regent is the regent, that is, the requirements for thrift are strict, and he also gave an extra 200,000 taels of pocket money, so he didn't ask for more, and the Wanli Emperor's disposal caused the scholars to be chilled, which was also expected.
In Wang Xijue's case, Zhu Yijun didn't even raid his home, which is also a consideration based on reality.
"Yesterday, King Lu practiced martial arts in the palace and fought fiercely to win, the reason why I admonished him before was that he only punished and refused to reward, and now I finally know that grace and power are equally important." Zhu Yijun Zhu criticized the music and explained the training progress of the first heir in line to the throne, King Lu.
Zhu Yijun beat Zhu Yijun last time, although the Empress Dowager Li was very distressed, but she didn't say anything, this time, King Lu seems to be messing around, that is, fighting ruthlessly, he and his guards are also practicing against each other, there are rewards for winning, and punishments for losing, which is in line with Zhu Yijun's requirements.
King Lu was beaten last time, because he was harsh on his subordinates, and only there was a threat, no reward, and clear rewards and punishments could be controlled, obviously King Lu was constantly growing, and Zhu Yijun was also very concerned about King Lu's education.
Courtiers, look at me, let me look at you, this King Lu was originally going to be sent to Yicheng Bofu to let Zhang Juzheng personally cultivate, because Wang Xijue and Zhang Juzheng personally pleaded their feelings, but in the end they failed to make the trip, so that the little emperor's education of King Lu was more than that, and it was more ruthless than Zhang Juzheng's drills.
It's better to send it to Yicheng Bofu.
Zhu Yijun is the world's number one master in the youth group, and there are still ways to teach his younger brother how to behave.
"From the age of next year, the official engraved version of the four books and five classics, subject to Mr.'s annotation, is the version I read, the township test, the meeting test and the palace test, the addition of arithmetic, after Mr. leaves, rectify the matter of learning and politics, do you plan to ignore it?" Zhu Yijun's tone became a little colder, June was very hot, but the courtiers felt a cold and biting chill.
Zhang Juzheng's new policy is a lot, each of which is placed in the window of the side hall of the Wenhua Palace, according to the agreement between the emperor and Zhang Juzheng, the academic and political textbooks after five years of Wanli should be subject to the official engraving version used by the emperor, before Zhu Xi's annotated version is the standard, and now Zhang Juzheng's annotated version is the standard.
This standard change, in fact, is difficult to achieve, after Zhang Juzheng left the court, the courtiers should not know, they would rather push the matter of grain shipping than participate in this matter, this is a decree to be scolded to death by Shi Lin.
Zhang Juzheng's knowledge is naturally good, and Zhang Juzheng's annotations have been used by the emperor and said that they are good, but Zhang Juzheng's annotations are indeed a bit deviant.
There are two kinds of annotations for benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality, and this kind of commentary based on the theory of contradiction itself is to deny the sages and the holy teachers, because the most fundamental avenue of contradiction is that under the successive contradictions, all things are constantly developing because of contradictions.
However, Confucianism pays the most attention to the three generations of the law, that is, the ancestors made the law, that is, the rules are followed.
Rectifying the academic administration, even if it kills a few scholars, is better than changing the rules of interpretation.
Zhang Juzheng's annotation, you can also not study, as long as you don't participate in the imperial examination, don't study, no one is forced to do so, but if you don't participate in the imperial examination, then why study?
Obviously, Zhu Yijun intends to forcibly implement the reform of the imperial examination, and it is necessary to change the interpretation of knowledge, and also to increase arithmetic and further promote the bypass of degrees.
"You Ming Gong is embarrassed, are you going to pretend to be deaf and dumb?" Zhu Yijun's tone was even colder, everyone didn't mention it, Zhu Yijun had already proposed it as the emperor, and these courtiers didn't say anything, this is to oppose it with silence.
There are many ways to express disapproval, and silence will be one as well.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's okay." Qi Jiguang, as a general, as a military general, he is cautious in his words and deeds, and in government affairs, he does not say a word, as the general of the Beijing camp, Qi Jiguang sits in the Wenhua Palace, most of the time is extremely silent.
But when the emperor needs it, he will tell His Majesty that the 120,000 soldiers of the Beijing camp stand firmly behind His Majesty, and His Majesty has the ability to lift the table at any time.
Although Qi Jiguang didn't understand why even the courtiers didn't agree with it, if His Majesty felt that it was necessary, then do it, and eliminate the opponents in a physical sense, then there would be no more objections.
Zhu Yijun showed a smile, looked at Qi Jiguang and said: "Qi Shuai is a little restless, the courtiers have no ambush, and they have not forced the palace." ”
Did the courtiers force the palace? Such silence, is it forced to the palace, and it is not a matter of His Majesty's words?
Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang, ministers of civil and military assistance.
Yu Dayou smiled beside him, looked around, and didn't speak, sometimes, silence is also a kind of approval, Qi Jiguang expressed his position as a martial artist above Xun Qi, Yu Dayou did not object, but agreed.
"Your Majesty, this addition is good for a long time, the minister thinks it is excellent, since the Ming degree bypass, all things have been regular, it can be described as the luck of the Ming Dynasty, the minister is His Majesty congratulations, for the Ming Dynasty." Wang Guoguang first agreed with the imperial examination plus arithmetic, and after the five years of Wanli, the imperial examination plus arithmetic, as early as the second year of Wanli, after the palace examination, was a matter finalized by the court meeting, and the courtiers had no opinion.
"What Da Situ means is that the Four Books and Five Classics annotated by Mr. are official engravings and will not be implemented for the time being?" Zhu Yijun asked with a frown.
"Mr. will not agree to it in court." Wang Guoguang said with great certainty, and was no longer silent, but chose to take a position as Zhang Juzheng's friend, His Majesty wants the right to interpret knowledge, but the time is not enough, and it is useless to ask for it.
"It's because Mr. is not in the court that I did it." Zhu Yijun also does not give an inch, the current official engraving of the four books and five classics are all Zhu Xi's set, and the mind is more meaningful than Zhu Xi's, at least there are people who talk about the unity of knowledge and action, and Zhu Xi's set is the end of the thing.
Zhang Juzheng is indeed opposed, Zhu Yijun once mentioned this matter to Zhang Juzheng when he was talking about the feast before, Zhang Juzheng was very opposed, although it seemed that Zhang Juzheng was convinced, but Zhang Juzheng did not push it, obviously Zhang Juzheng had concerns.
It is one thing to write a book that is contradictory, but to make the Four Books and the Five Classics of one's own annotations as an official engraving is a big matter, so we have to be cautious.
"Your Majesty, after Wang Yangming left, most of his disciples were those who talked with their hands in their hands, which is a lesson from the past." Wang Guoguang saw that His Majesty was going to go his own way, and he still expressed Zhang Juzheng's concerns, not for the sake of his posthumous name, but for fear that after the knowledge was widely disseminated, it would be misinterpreted, if it was misinterpreted, it would be better to directly use it as an imperial book, put it in the palace and cabinet, and only use it for the emperor's heirs.
Because the philosophical viewpoint of opposition and unity itself is difficult to be accepted, if necessary, it can be preached in the Hanlin Academy, and there is no need for the world to be official.
This is also Zhang Juzheng's opinion.
"What he said is reasonable, but Mr. also said that overcorrection must be overdone, since it needs to be corrected, then do it." Zhu Yijun thinks that what Wang Guoguang said is very reasonable, but he does not plan to change his mind, but to continue to implement it.
Zhu Yijun is more radical than Zhang Juzheng in many cases, and Tan Lun is the most radical in the DPRK, especially in the matter of the new coup law, Zhu Yijun is more radical than Zhang Juzheng, doing things more openly, and paying attention to flooding.
This is the limitation of the courtiers now, they have no effective means to limit the decision-making of the Ming Emperor.
In fact, the entire Ming Dynasty does not have this kind of error correction mechanism, the cabinet and the six departments can indeed refute the emperor's edict, this is what Wang Guoguang did just now, he is opposing the emperor's decree, if the emperor chooses to go his own way, then he can only obey.
This is an imperial world of monarchs and ministers, and Wang Guoguang has exhausted all his strength to stand up and say a few words to the emperor.
However, Zhang Juzheng, as the emperor's teacher, can effectively restrict some of the emperor's decisions, which is the background of the special era, that is, under the suspicion of the lord and the country, Zhang Juzheng can do it as the substantive supreme power holder.
It's a pity that Zhang Juzheng is fishing in the West Mountain, and the main thing is to be lazy, the emperor really made a mess of things, and it is not too late for him to come out and clean up.
Zhu Yijun's decree was finally passed by the court without any objection and without much approval.
Tan Lun took out a book and said: "Zhili Patrol according to the imperial history Guo Siji impeached the general Ren Xian of Chuansha, when he served in Suzhou Wei during the Longqing period, he embezzled military supplies, this is the old case of Longqing for four years, when Ren Xian was a person in Suzhou to do a pacification, embezzled military supplies at a discount of 3,500 taels of silver. ”
"At that time, there was an impeachment of the imperial history, Ren Xian was exonerated from the crime, and soon he was promoted to the general manager, Guo Siji picked up the matter, and asked the court to be held accountable and investigated."
This is an old case in Longqing for four years, Ren Xian escaped questioning, not because he escaped, but because Ren Xian took Qi Jiguang's door and worshiped under Zhang Juzheng's door, he was lucky to escape.
In this case, the facts are not complicated, the facts are conclusive, Ren Xian had already pleaded guilty at that time, and it was Zhang Juzheng who protected him.
Now, Nan Zhili patrols the imperial history Guo Siji, and fires at Ren Xian's old case, in fact, he wants to test it.
"Second assistant, there is no two punishments, since it has been disposed of at that time, there is no need to ask, it was different from today, at that time, if you didn't worship under Mr., can you do things? I am also a disciple of Mr. Zhu Yijun's words clearly showed favoritism, in this case, a total of one commander and two commanders were dismissed.
"Your Majesty." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and said.
The current cabinet is a clay cabinet, Lu Tiaoyang said all day long that what His Majesty said is extremely true, Wang Chonggu simply didn't even go to Wenyuan Pavilion, what the emperor said was what he said, and there was no one who even blamed Chen Shan.
Wang Chonggu entered the cabinet, but did not enter the cabinet to do things, which is also in line with the rules of the cabinet.
During the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli years, the power of the cabinet was great, and in order to run errands, the courtiers would be allowed to enter the cabinet and receive the power to better mobilize manpower, material resources and power to do things; There are also because of old age and illness, riddled with diseases, taking a break from illness, and not entering the cabinet to work, the most typical of this is Lu Tiaoyang; There are also those who simply hide because they are unwilling to dump, the most typical of which is Li Chunfang.
Wang Chonggu entered the cabinet but did not go to Wenyuan Pavilion, it was in line with the rules, not to seek his own politics in his position, to let Wang Chonggu enter the cabinet, or to let him better supervise the Maoshan official factory and the Xishan Coal Bureau.
So, the cabinet is now an echo worm.
"Guo Siji said this, saying that Ren Xian was guilty of the crime, and it was just a matter of getting away with the crime, why could he still be promoted to the general manager after a few years, and still impeach him for the promotion of the criminal officer." Tan Lun knew that the emperor did not plan to turn over old accounts, and talked about the second question of the Nanya patrol.
This Ren Xian is a criminal courtier, how can he be promoted?
Everyone knows that Ren Xian is Zhang Juzheng's subordinate, before Zhang Juzheng was in the country, even if Zhang Juzheng didn't speak, if the people below were promoted, it would only be Ren Xian.
Therefore, Ren Xian was promoted as a sinful body.
"Yuanfu, when Mr. left the court, the second assistant ran away, I sent Tiqi and captured him back, this big priest still entered the cabinet as a second assistant, why do I think Guo Siji has a lot of opinions about the big secretary entering the cabinet, so he deliberately pointed out that Sang scolded Huai?" Zhu Yijun took out a move to divert firepower.
They are all guilty bodies, they are all promoted, if Ren Xian has a problem, then Wang Chonggu also has a problem.
Wang Chonggu was stunned for a moment, startled a spirit, this is indeed the more he looks at it, Wang Chonggu also thought that this Guo Siji was responding to the Nanya Demon Book, attacking Zhang Juzheng, His Majesty said this, this Guo Siji was clearly planning to beat the rabbit with grass, and piggyback on him Wang Chonggu!
Wang Chonggu stood up, shook his sleeves, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if the minister doesn't leave at that time, Your Majesty won't be able to see the minister. ”
"Second assistant, please get up quickly." Zhu Yijun motioned for Wang Chonggu to stand up and speak, and then said: "Guo Siji seems to have said two things, but in fact, he just said one thing, this Ren Xian is guilty, and if he is guilty, he is guilty of worshipping under Mr. ”
"Is it a crime to worship in the name of the gentleman?"
"Mr. taught me to look at one thing, and look at it according to the world, instead of only caring about one's own likes and dislikes, and ignoring the time, at that time, the military generals of our Ming Dynasty did not worship in the name of Mr., but in whose name? At the time of Jialong, under whose name can the generals worship? Da Sima was ostracized because he could fight. ”
"Military generals are subject to civilian officials, like slaves, this is what Mr. Wanli said when he asked me to give the military generals a little power."
"At that time, in addition to the hereditary officials, there was no other sponsor for the Chinese style of martial arts, and today is different from the past, and military merits can be entered into the martial arts school under construction, which has the level of promotion."
Zhu Yijun's protection and favoritism towards Zhang Juzheng is not a private affair without any basis, but an explanation that is very clear and detailed, and this reply is already very reasonable.
If Ren Xian really made an unforgivable mistake, then one commander and two generals would not be removed because of this incident, Ren Xian can take the door, can't the two of them go?
Referring to many opinions of the court, Lu Tiaoyang wrote a floating ticket, excerpted the emperor's speech, and asked the emperor to seal the next chapter and send it to the Nanya, which was regarded as a reply.
I can't read it back, it was Wang Xijue who provided Emperor Wanli with the rotten Dafa, Zhang Juzheng left, and the emperor still should be approved.
Wu Guifang, the governor of Caoyun, played 4 million stone of grain, and this year 3 million stone of grain was transported by sea, so that three months of time for transporting grain from the river could be released again, and a package of proposals to stimulate commerce and trade along the canal was also proposed, these proposals totaled 26 articles, which were discussed for a long time, three articles were deleted, and 12 articles were amended, and finally the court passed.
The Daming Canal banknote customs collects treasure banknotes, which is also one of the few scenes where treasure banknotes are still used, but due to the four million stone grains transported in the past, the income of the banknote customs is actually not too high, and it can only be attributed to others on the books of the household department.
But now with the release of transportation capacity, the tax revenue of the Hecao banknote customs is growing, and then only collecting treasure banknotes, that is a loss.
According to Wu Guifang's meaning, the river should not be taxed, and it should be completely liberalized to promote commerce and trade along the river.
However, Guo Chaobin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, objected, and the tax revenue of Hecao should be used to maintain the canal, and no taxes would be collected, so where would the money come from? In the end, the banknote customs became the silver customs, and the taxes collected changed from treasure money to silver coins or silver.
Accumulation of prosperity, by the clear stream as a flood beast, but the embarrassment of the court before the lack of money left, also made the courtiers for the accumulation of prosperity, there are not so many scruples, there will be some objections, but the opposition also to gather Xingli, the first emperor's mausoleum arrears of the project payment in December, is really detrimental to the majesty of the court.
"The red-haired envoy and the captain Antonio have returned to Beijing, and I plan to announce to him tomorrow, along with the two shipmasters and four sailors who accompanied the ship, to report about Taixi's trip to Beijing, and to announce it after the meeting is over." Zhu Yijun saw that the court meeting was coming to an end, and talked about the arrival of the big ship in Hong Kong.
"Oh, by the way, Antonio entered Beijing, and first went to the treasury to pay back the money owed to me."
Cui Min, the eunuch of the interior, reported that the emperor's loan to Antonio, Antonio had already settled the principal and interest, Zhu Yijun was a little distressed about this, the interest he gave was not high, 4% a year, Antonio repaid it too quickly, resulting in Zhu Yijun not being able to eat this profit.
"The sea trade is profitable, of course he must pay back if he has money, otherwise the imperial court will not let his ship arrive at the port, and he will have to lose his hands in Manila once, and the loss will be great." Wang Guoguang also said with a little emotion.
Zhu Yijun pondered for a long time, and said with a smile: "Find a way to lend him some more, doesn't he want to be the king of Portugal?" There is no money to be a king, and it is true that the commoners support him, but Felipe II is also eyeing Portugal, and the strong enemy is on the side, and this war will definitely make money. ”
Zhu Yijun never worried that Antonio would not pay back the money, so he would not let him do business in the Daming Sea, he would not be able to resist, and the plantations that Antonio used as collateral were also the targets of Zhu Yijun's coveting, and if Antonio did not pay back the money, Zhu Yijun could collect the debt by force.
Zhu Yijun has always been a real dragon who eats people.
Silence, sometimes it is in agreement, sometimes it is against, sometimes it is distracted, begging for a monthly pass, whining!!!!!
