Chapter 963 It’s so true
“Oh, so true?”
Yang Jisheng pulled down the corner of his lips and made a sound, as if he was not satisfied with Zhang Juzheng’s answer. His eyes that could see through people's hearts stared closely at Zhang Juzheng, leaned forward, and asked again.
"That's not the case."
Zhang Juzheng said calmly, Fengshen's handsome face remained calm, as if Yang Jisheng's questioning was expected by him.
"Oh, I'd like to hear the details." Yang Jisheng nodded, retracted his body, and straightened his sitting posture.
"Ju Zheng heard this morning that Gao Botai has an aunt who entered the Yan Mansion a few years ago to be Master Yan Shifan's first wife. She was found to be pregnant a few months ago, and the mother was taken as a concubine based on the price of her son. . I heard that Gao Botai came through his aunt. After leaving the relationship with Yan Shifan, he was transferred back to the capital from Datong Border Pass and succeeded him as the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division."
Zhang Juzheng picked up the teacup with his right hand, took another sip of tea, and after drinking, He slowly opened his mouth while holding the teacup.
"In my opinion, Zihou was a little reckless in impeaching Gao Botai?" Yang Jisheng twitched the corner of his mouth and chuckled.
"No." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said slowly, "Gao Botai acted so boldly and bent the law for personal gain after taking office, and he deserves to be impeached. Although Gao Botai was implicated in the Yan Mansion, it is not necessary for Zihou to impeach him. If you meet with Yan Mansion, you will be punished. Because Gao Botai acted so recklessly, he was afraid that he would create a big mess and implicate the Yan family. Zihou's impeachment might make the Yan family unhappy for a while, but I believe that after thinking about it, the Yan family will thank Zihou for helping him. They clean the door.”
Yang Jisheng had been staring at Zhang Juzheng. At first, there was still expectation in his eyes. However, with Zhang Juzheng's analysis, the expectation in Yang Jisheng's eyes disappeared. At the same time, the downward curve of the corners of his mouth became more and more obvious. In Zhang Juzheng's case, After some analysis, Yang Jisheng pulled down the corner of his mouth and made a "ha" sound.
"I have long heard that my uncle has a palace in the city. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true." Yang Jisheng shook his head in disappointment.
"Brother Nian, why did you say this?" Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng raised his head in surprise and asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Sheng, I have heard Master Xu talk about his uncle many times and praised him highly. He said that his uncle was proficient in practical politics and had the talent to help the world. He was also calm and measured. Even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of his eyes, his face did not change. He was deeply moved. In addition to having the demeanor of a general, Sheng also heard praise from officials in the Hanlin Academy. Uncle Yu’s voice is true, isn’t it?”
Yang Jisheng did not answer Zhang Juzheng’s words, but asked Zhang Juzheng this question. When he asked the question, Yang Jisheng stared at Zhang Juzheng’s eyes again, catching him. The subtle changes in the eyes.
"Haha, Brother Nian, Brother Nian is also a student of the teacher. You should know that the teacher is a kind elder. He always likes to support the younger generations. He always has the audacity to go to the teacher's house to ask for food. The teacher is afraid that his criticism of me will reach my ears. So it's just a courtesy. As for the Hanlin Academy, it's just a rumor, and it can't be taken seriously." Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng waved his hands repeatedly, then laughed at himself and shook his head vigorously.
“You can only find out if there are holes, and the rumors are based on the truth. Uncle is being too modest. Besides, Sheng knew Master Xu better because he and Master Shu came from the same school. It is true that Master Xu is a kind elder. "I have always loved to support the younger generation, but Master Xu has a unique eye, knows the subtleties, and has a clear understanding of the talents of the younger generation, so he has become the leader of the younger generation."
Yang Jisheng said with emotion.
Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Ju Zheng thanks Brother Nian for the praise, but Ju Zheng knows better that he is really ashamed."
Hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, Yang Jisheng shook his head, chuckled, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
The study became quiet.
There was silence.
It was already dusk outside the window, and the setting sun had fallen into the Western Mountains, leaving only a faint afterglow.
One second
Two seconds
Zhang Juzheng seemed to be sitting a little uncomfortable, so he moved his butt back and readjusted his sitting posture.
“Haha.”
When Zhang Juzheng had just adjusted his sitting posture, another chuckle from Yang Jisheng broke the silence in the study.
“The great ones are said to be the arrogance of the royal family, the common officials are ill-mannered, the officials are governed according to the rules, the border equipment has not been repaired, and the money is used to a great loss. Others are burdened by the sage and cannot be cited in full, and The fifth one is especially great. I heard that the clans of today and the princes and kings of ancient times are all interested in what they like and admire, and the changes in customs are closely related to it."
After laughing, Yang Jisheng put down the tea cup for soothing his throat and spoke in a deep voice, word for word. Recited silently.
Hearing Yang Jisheng's silent recitation, Zhang Juzheng's expression suddenly changed, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and his breathing became quickened.
Zhang Juzheng couldn't be more familiar with the article that Yang Jisheng recited silently. Every word and sentence is so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it. It's no exaggeration to say that Zhang Juzheng is so familiar with it that he can easily recite it fluently.
For every word, Zhang Juzheng clearly remembers the process of their birth.
Because this is his article.
"On Current Affairs".
Zhang Juzheng closed his eyes. Two years have passed, but the scenes two years ago seemed like yesterday.
Every word, every sentence, I have considered and considered, revised and revised, revised and revised, and revised the draft several times. This short, thousand-word essay on current affairs has been used by myself. It took me half a year to write it
How many sleepless nights with lights on
It can be said that every word is soaked in my own hard work.
Zhang Juzheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent memories in his heart, then slowly opened his eyes, and smiled to himself, "Brother Nian, how can you turn over these old sesame seeds and rotten millet?" It came out. This is an immature work by Ju Zheng. Ju Zheng lost his head in reading, was clumsy in government affairs, and did not understand the facts, but did not know the heights of the world. He imitated the "Chen Zheng Shi Shu" written by Jia Yi and Taifu Jia of the Western Han Dynasty. Now it sounds like, So ashamed.”
"Immature? Incompetent in government affairs?"
Hearing this, Yang Jisheng couldn't help but shook his head, "If my uncle is said to be incompetent in government affairs, then if we look at the world, are there anyone who is proficient in government affairs?"
"Brother Nian must be careful, Juzheng is really ashamed." Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly.
“Wrong!”
Yang Jisheng said with emotion, “Sheng said this in front of my uncle and everyone else.”
< br>
"Brother Nian praised Ju Zheng so highly. Ju Zheng is really ashamed to have failed Brother Nian." Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said with a low and wry smile, "Ju Zheng was so naive and childish. After submitting it, he disappeared into the sea and was never heard from again. ”
Two years ago, after Zhang Juzheng submitted this memorial, he was full of expectations. His whole body was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. At that time, Zhang Juzheng deeply believed that, This memorial of his will definitely stir up a thousand waves with one stone, making Emperor Jiajing's eyes light up and amazed. After submitting the memorial, Zhang Juzheng returned home and kept practicing over and over again in his mind how to prepare for being summoned by Emperor Jiajing. Performance. However, one day passed and one day was disappointed, and one month passed and another month was disappointed. After a long time, Zhang Juzheng accepted the fact that the memorial fell into the sea and failed to splash a single wave.
"Uncle deserves it."
Yang Jisheng snapped and said, "This peerless memorial has fallen into disrepair. It's not that my uncle's words were inappropriate, but that my uncle's status was too low and his words were ignored. The current critical situation in the government was already seen by my uncle two years ago. Shuda has solved the five major problems of clan, talent, bureaucracy, armament and finance in one sentence. With such keen insights and strategies for governing the country, can Shuda still say that he is poor at government affairs?" (End of this chapter)< br>
