0270 Let him go
But how to talk to Emperor Wanli about this matter is another problem! Because Emperor Wanli seems to have grown up recently, and he has begun to move! I actually know how to hold on to the right for myself!
Not long ago, he met Feng Bao. Feng Bao was full of resentment towards Emperor Wanli in and out of his words, and he was also dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager Li for unloading the mill and killing the donkey! The reason for this is naturally because he was cut off from the position of the East Factory!
Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng was even more determined to send Liu Haojia out as soon as possible! This east factory will only decline more and more in the hands of Feng Bao, and after a long time, maybe even the shelf will collapse! But if it falls into the hands of Liu Haojia, God knows what tricks he will toss! Zhang Juzheng is sure that if Liu Hao Jiaken cuts into the palace, it must be a figure like Emperor Liu Jin!
Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but sigh: "The emperor is so big, he actually found a way to increase his power!" So you can't treat him like you used to treat a child! ”
But as for the matter of delegating power to the emperor, he didn't even think about it! Because he knows himself too well as a student! He is just a middle-aged person, he doesn't talk about me a lot, but his will is not firm, at most he is an emperor in peacetime.
If I give him power, I am afraid that my reform plan will only die halfway! For the sake of the common people in the world, before his own reform is completed, it is better to limit him as much as possible!
Zhang Juzheng, who had made up his mind, once again regained his calm appearance, thinking as quickly as before in the morning, and smoothly arranged all the things that needed to be discussed. And he decided to take the opportunity of his lecture to Emperor Wanli today to talk to him! Thinking that he understands this student, he will not refuse himself!
Classes are over quickly. Today, Zhang Juzheng has just made up his mind, and naturally he feels happy, so he is much softer to Emperor Wanli than in the past!
But Emperor Wanli was frightened by this softness! He knows that when anyone's attitude changes, something big happens! Therefore, Emperor Wanli concentrated all his attention on passing the morning lecture!
At the end of the lecture, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and sent the eunuchs in the study to retreat. When Emperor Wanli saw this, he knew that today's drama was coming! So cheer up and prepare to listen to Zhang Juzheng's teachings.
Directly heard Zhang Juzheng say: "A few days ago, there was news from the eight hundred miles in an emergency, I think Your Majesty has seen it!" This time the cowpox was a great success! The population of 20 places where cowpox was tried to grow a total of more than 2,700 people, and not one person died! What a welcome blessing! The imperial court rewarded him heavily, and began to prepare to promote cowpox throughout the Ming Dynasty! ”
As soon as Emperor Wanli heard that Zhang Juzheng wanted to say about this matter, his heart was a little relieved! Because of this matter, Liu Haojia has already remedied.
Just the day before, Liu Haojia entered the palace and admitted to him that he had spread the news among the people. The reason is naturally because of his great achievements, the court not only did not reward him, but kept suppressing it, and he didn't even say a word of politeness, so he took advantage of this to vent his anger!
Emperor Wanli naturally supported this matter, so his plan was a little more stable! And he also thinks that Liu Haojia is loyal, and this matter must be explained clearly to him carefully.
Therefore, Emperor Wanli not only did not blame Liu Haojia, but comforted him with gentle words. The two even discussed how to face Zhang Juzheng's accountability. Among them, Liu Haojia naturally stuffed a lot of private goods into it.
So Emperor Wanli said very calmly: "Yes, Lord Peng is really hard to travel back and forth in the Ming Dynasty, and he has merit!" But shouldn't Liu Haojia, who invented cowpox, also be rewarded? ”
After speaking, Emperor Wanli also took a closer look at Zhang Juzheng's face, wanting to see any clues from the other party's face. But what he was thinking had long been in Zhang Juzheng's expectations, so he didn't see anything.
I only heard Zhang Juzheng's voice say steadily: "Liu Haojia is naturally rewarded!" And what the minister wants to say to His Majesty today is what he heard. ”
Emperor Wanli felt a lot more relaxed when he heard this, but he still said with a little trembling: "Sir, please speak." ”
Zhang Juzheng said: "The minister hopes that His Majesty can release Liu Haojia as an official!" ”
Emperor Wanli was sure that he had heard correctly, and he was happy in his heart! But in order to suppress this joy, his face was distorted into a very strange expression, as if it was a little close to fright! And this scene fell in Zhang Juzheng's eyes, he naturally thought that Emperor Wanli's heart was greatly shaken!
Sure enough, I heard Emperor Wanli say categorically: "No! Liu Haojia is my minister, and he is inseparable from him like Mr.! ”
Zhang Juzheng naturally expected Emperor Wanli's answer, and he said calmly: "The minister has thanked His Majesty for his trust!" Similarly, the minister also knows that Liu Haojia has done something, and he has won the trust of His Majesty! But what I said is beneficial and harmless to both Liu Haojia himself and His Majesty, so Your Majesty might as well listen to the minister's reasons! ”
Emperor Wanli pursed his lips and did not speak, but his eyes revealed the meaning of please continue. Zhang Juzheng could naturally understand his intentions, and said directly: "Liu Haojia is indeed capable and sensitive. If he wasn't born on the right path in the imperial examination, it would be somewhat possible for him to enter the cabinet in the future! ”
Emperor Wanli said: "He is Xie Guo's background, and his future is guaranteed by my town!" ”
Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "The minister understands this, and I believe that His Majesty can do it!" It's just that Your Majesty always has to think about Liu Haojia's future! He has offended too many people now because of the matter of collecting money, and I don't know how many people in Beijing are waiting for him to make mistakes! Ning Baiqiang is just one of them! At the same time, he cleaned up all the gangs in the capital, although the people reduced the nuisance of the gangs, but the people behind the gangs hated him to the core! And he has a monopoly on the sales of glassware and snow candy, and I don't know how many people are jealous of him under the huge profits! Your Majesty, you see, the minister casually found out where he had a lot of enemies in the three areas, not to mention that he faced more opponents in other aspects! That's why I beg Your Majesty to release him. It's really meant to preserve! ”
Emperor Wanli said slowly: "He is my courtier, I can protect him!" ”
Zhang Juzheng said: "The minister also believes this! But His Majesty can protect him once, not forever! What's more, he is young, and soon after stepping into the officialdom, he already has the reputation of trying hundreds of households, and I don't know how many people are red! As the saying goes, the wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! And he is in a high position with his body, but he has no experience in external experience, and if he wants to climb to a high position in the future, he is one level worse after all! So it's not good to let him out, not only to avoid the whirlpool that a thousand people are referring to, but also to make up for hearing the resume? ”
