Chapter 14 Exchange of Interests
In the design of the Ming Dynasty imperial system, Ming Dynasty was a highly centralized system, and it was infinitely close to a dictatorship. The only limited restrictions were the cabinet vote, the court meeting, and the six subjects. Refute things.
The system design of the Ming Dynasty could not operate stably without the emperor.
In this context, a major case of assassination of the king and a vicious incident of provoking authority and imperial power occurred. The chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and the young emperor both chose to settle the matter.
Because of the price of continuing the investigation, no matter who loses or wins in the party struggle, the one who bears the price must be the Ming Dynasty. The weak Ming Dynasty cannot withstand such violent turmoil at the moment.
The second key reason is that the emperor is young and his power is weak. Stability is the top priority in everything.
These are the evil spirits in the court and the intrigues between adults. Zhang Juzheng actually does not want to mention these scandalous things in front of his children. This kind of exchange of interests is really ugly and does not conform to the theory of self-cultivation in the Four Books and Five Classics. .
"Zhang! Yuan! Fu! You have to be like Gao Gong, right!" Feng Bao gritted his teeth and stared at Zhang Juzheng, like a bad wolf. He was responsible for biting, and Zhang Juzheng killed him with a thorn. To exchange benefits while driving is disrespectful and the greatest disrespect.
Feng Bao looked at Zhang Juzheng's silence, his face changed, and he asked sternly: "You civil servants are all like this, you talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but your heart is all about business!"
"Disgusting!"
"I didn't agree." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said. He really didn't agree. He just said he would consider it, and he didn't agree to Yang Bo.
"Feng Daban, please be patient. Let me tell you what Yuan Fu is worried about. Yuan Fu will do one or two." Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao and asked him to suspend his attack.
"Humph, scholar." Feng Bao flicked his sleeves, turned around, obeyed His Majesty's order, and said no more.
"The Jin party occupied the issue of Anda Khan's tribute. They didn't even need to do more to threaten the capital. They only needed to rein in the Xuan army and march southward with iron hoofs from the north. Change, Yin Jian is at the forefront." Zhu Yijun mentioned the Gengxu Change.
The Gengxu Revolution occurred in the 29th year of Jiajing. Anda Khan launched a war against the Ming Dynasty on the grounds that the Ming Dynasty was unwilling to free trade.
Ada Khan looted the vicinity of the capital of the Ming Dynasty for eight full days, and then withdrew his troops after receiving the permission of Emperor Jiajing from Tonggong City.
This is a great shame.
In the 30th year of Jiajing, the war reignited. From the 30th year of Jiajing to the 45th year of Jiajing, Xuanda’s chief military officer and deputy chief military officer alone lost more than ten people in the battle. There were countless casualties, and the capital, Xuanfu, and Datong fortresses alone needed four to five million yuan. The imperial finances were empty, and the annual income could not cover half of the annual expenditure.
The imperial court's fiscal revenue could not reach half of its expenditure every year, and the imperial court's deficit increased rapidly.
The Ming Dynasty had a hard time, and Anda Khan had a hard time too. Finally, during the Longqing period, the two sides reached a consensus and everything calmed down.
The Jin party only needs to rein in the soldiers on the grounds of strong captives, and it is not impossible for the Gengxu Incident to happen again.
Zhu Yijun flipped through the memorials on the imperial case, pulled out a book and said: "I have Tang Bao at hand. General Qi Jiguang and Qi are in Beigukou, Jiangjun Building, Sister Building, and Xifengkou. Defeated the Duoyan Guard thief chief Dong Fox, with a first achievement of 2,500, Dong Fox escaped alone. "
"The Zhejiang army is indeed a famous soldier in the world."
The first battle report Zhu Yijun received when he arrived in Ming Dynasty was a victory report.
This battle is just a trivial matter in Qi Jiguang's mighty record. Qi Jiguang is not only good at fighting Japanese, but also a strong player in resisting prisoners. Dong Hu went to Beigukou and asked the Ming Dynasty for rewards. If he refused, he would give them. He was about to join the invaders, but was tricked by Qi Jiguang, and Dong Hu's entire army was wiped out. Dong Hu's nephew came to save his uncle without knowing the situation, but was captured alive and sent back to the capital with weapons.
"Even if the Northern invaders invade at this time, I am confident that they will never come back!" Zhang Juzheng said very solemnly, and he said this with confidence.
Qi Jiguang was recommended by Zhang Juzheng from south to north. Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, and Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of Jiliao, were his subordinates, which gave him the confidence to conflict with the Jin Party.
When you have a knife in your hand, you can speak forcefully!
If Beilu really goes south, let’s fight first.
Zhu Yijun closed the victory report in his hand, shook his head and said: "In war, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. No one dares to say that victory is certain."
"When Gao Gong was the chief assistant, there were many promotions. If we continue to investigate this case, I am afraid that all the clues will point to Gao Gong. Who made Gao Gong lose his power?"
"Seize Gao Gong and go to the Central Government. There is bound to be an uproar and people are in panic. They are stumbling against Yuan Fu behind his back. It doesn’t take too much, just three or five things to win.”
After the war, Datong and Xuan had just regained some vitality. The prefecture and the Gyeonggi region will become turbulent again. It is the most ordinary people who bear the cost of the war. It is okay if they win, but if they lose, the people will suffer even more.
The Jin Party is a clique closely knit together by in-laws, classmates, and fellow villagers. They control Xuanfu, the important towns of Datong, Beijing camp, personnel, and the political and political power of the DPRK.
Emperor, you want to kill Gao Gong, and then berate those who were promoted by Gao Gong.
What does the emperor want to do? Do you want to rebel?
“These rebellious officials and traitors have just noticed that the Ming Dynasty is not full of energy and is so lawless!” Feng Bao immediately added that as an eunuch, it is his bounden duty to criticize civil servants at all times.
"I don't think it has reached that point. If chaos really breaks out, I will be sure to put an end to it." Zhang Juzheng said extremely arrogantly.
Since he dared to unite with Feng Bao to drive Gao Gong out of the cabinet, he naturally had something to rely on. The Jin Party had military, political, personnel, political and political power, and he also had it.
Gao Gong has lost all power, and he, Zhang Juzheng, is the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and shook his head. Talking about this matter is naturally intended to calm people down and waste national power, which is not what you want, nor what I want."
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty is wise."
This is not what you want. This is the reason why Zhang Juzheng said that he was incompetent in front of the emperor. He could not carry out a full-scale pursuit of the Jin Party without consuming the national power of the Ming Dynasty. He could only say in front of the emperor that he should settle the matter.
Gao Gong is actually not important, he is just a little old man who has lost his power, but the Jin Party, which has deep roots in the central government, is important.
At this moment, Zhang Juzheng suddenly remembered the sentence that His Majesty had annotated, comrade, colleague, and Fang Tongle. Zhang Juzheng even had a strange feeling, that is, the little emperor actually had the same thing as him. Ambition to restore Ming Dynasty and revive Ming Dynasty.
Yang Bo underestimated Feng Bao. Feng Bao not only saw it, but also made it clear to the little emperor why he was so powerful.
Zhang Juzheng believed that the little emperor’s clear and analytical rhetoric came from Feng Baojiao.
Zhu Yijun had already thought of this situation before Feng Baobing was sent to Xinzheng to capture Gao Gong. Does the Jin Party have such courage? Zhu Yijun knew clearly that the Jin Party not only existed, but was also very large. After Zhang Juzheng's death, it was Zhang Siwei, the new leader of the Jin Party and Wang Chonggu's nephew, who initiated the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng's ten years of new policies were all destroyed in one day, and Ming Dynasty's last chance to correct its mistakes disappeared.
Yang Bo was very good at judging people. He said that Zhang Siwei had both sides of the snake and rat, which meant he had a good eye on Zhang Siwei's character. Zhang Siwei could seek refuge with Zhang Juzheng for power, but also for profit. After Zhang Juzheng's death, in his New Deal , stabbing the most critical knife.
"So, tell me, what conditions did Yang Bo give to Yuan Fu to come forward to calm the matter?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.
Zhang Juzheng thought about it for a moment and said: "The examination of law, the position of Dazai Tianguan in the Ministry of Personnel, and Yang Bo's appointment as an official."
"If there are only the first two items, I will not agree, and then add It's almost as if he was appointed to the official position of Yang Bo. He is the leader of the party." Zhu Yijun closed the Four Books and looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked: "Yuan Fu is the big one here. I, the victim, have been wronged. What should I do?" br>
Yang Bo agreed to take the imperial examination, and Yang Bo gave up his position as a Heavenly Official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. When Yang Bo became an official, the person who benefited the most was Zhang Juzheng. What about the Ming Emperor who had been wronged?
Zhang Juzheng was a little confused when he heard this. He was not sure what the little emperor wanted, so he hurriedly said: "The reason why this minister repays his duty to the late emperor and is loyal to your majesty..."
When Zhu Yijun heard what Zhang Juzheng said When I wanted to recite sutras, I quickly said: "Stop."
"I want to chop up Wang Zhanglong, Chen Hong, Teng Xiang, Meng Chong and other criminals, and execute them late to have the effect of intimidation and punishment. If we do not impose the death penalty , after the matter is settled, I am afraid that in the future, evil people will arrive at the Dharma Palace, and there will be no Jian Cha. "Be as frank as if you were wearing plain shoes" is a sentence in the memorial written by Ge Shouli, the general secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, when he wanted to interrogate Feng Bao. It means that the villain Wang Zhanglong went in and out of the palace as if there was no one around. When he arrived at Qianqing Palace, no one asked, and it was as easy as walking on the flat ground. .
Zhu Yijun thought it was good, so he used it directly.
Zhang Juzheng sensed something was wrong. If it was really Feng Bao who taught Ge Shouli today, how did Feng Bao know about it in advance, and what should he tell the young emperor?
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is responsible for governing the world with benevolence and mercy. The six virtues of benevolence, wisdom, trust, straightforwardness, courage and strength are also beautiful. Too late, it may harm the harmony of heaven."
"Feng Daban, take the fire sign and seal ribbon, and order Ti Commander to personally lead 600 Ti cavalry, send troops to Xinzheng, arrest Gao Gong, and all his family members, and kill anyone who resists!" Zhu Yijun packed up all his notes and stood up. He said calmly to Feng Bao.
"I obey the decree!" Feng Bao was delighted and immediately planned to get the fire token and blank the edict.
"Feng Daban, wait a moment." Zhang Juzheng was helpless. The same trick he used against Yang Bo yesterday was used against him by the little emperor.
The little emperor said it well. He suddenly flipped the table when he said it, but he really didn’t follow martial ethics!
Zhang Juzheng immediately said: "I will lead the three law divisions to report all the criminals to Lingchi."
Zhang Juzheng took the lead in the report, and he will naturally bear the infamy.
Zhu Yijun then sat down and signaled to Feng Bao that he did not need to go get the fire sign and seal ribbon. He looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "There is a good doctor Chen Shigong in Taiyuan Hospital, who is especially good at surgical excision. This Ling Chi matter, Leave it to Chen Shigong to mark out the four entrances and exits of the hospital and tidy it up."
"Hang up the plaque and clear the courtyard."
"The Jiecu Hospital specializes in dealing with dishonest and unfaithful officials, traitors, and unfilial piety. It just so happens that after Jiecu is released, the Ming Dynasty's medical department will be able to reach a higher level."
"Jiecu slowly, little by little. What does Yuan Fu think of the explanations, one by one, and carefully study the mysteries of physiology? "
Modern medicine is based on anatomy, and Chen Shigong, who is especially good at surgery, joined the Jiecu Hospital as a great medical officer. complement each other.
These rebellious officials and traitors are bound to die no matter what, why not let them use their final light and heat to illuminate the path of Ming medicine?
Zhang Juzheng smacked the words "jiecuyuan" and his expression changed drastically. This was no longer an ordinary injury to Tianhe.
Why is Your Majesty so ruthless at such a young age? ! If he agrees, he will not be subject to a burst of criticism. As long as the Jiecuyuan exists for one day, Zhang Juzheng will be caught and scolded by the civil servants for one day.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Feng Bao. Obviously, these tricks should have been taught by Feng Bao.
Feng Bao had gauze on his head, his cheeks were swollen, and he could not see any change in his complexion. However, he was also concerned. Although he could accept that His Majesty was a capable emperor, he never imagined that he would This kind of Ling Chi, this kind of capital punishment, this kind of intimidation and punishment effect.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked with a smile: "Yuan Fu refuses?"
"That's not true." Zhang Juzheng exhaled, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."< br>
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Since we want to put the matter to rest, we will set up the Jiecu Yuan today and send the criminals in tomorrow. This case involves a lot of people, so sooner rather than later, I will go to the Jiecu Yuan tomorrow afternoon to watch the execution."
"I obey the decree." Zhang Juzheng had no choice but to bear the infamy. Otherwise, His Majesty would never settle the matter.
What is Zhu Yijun doing?
He forced Zhang Juzheng to stand in line, forced Zhang Juzheng to do something outrageous and resentful, forced him to be an independent minister, and forced him to be a lonely minister.
The position of the Heavenly Official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the implementation of the examination law, and the advancement of the Jin Party are nothing to mention compared with Zhang Juzheng's complete dedication to imperial power.
For Zhang Juzheng, getting scolded is a good thing. What Zhang Juzheng will do in the future is probably the sentence "I am not the prime minister, but the regent". If you become the regent, no matter how good your reputation is, You, Zhang Juzheng, are you planning to imitate Wang Mang?
Let Zhang Juzheng be scolded to protect him!
The purpose of establishing the Jiecu Hospital was to give Chen Shigong, a master of surgery, a training hand. Zhang Juzheng died of hemorrhoid infection in the 10th year of Wanli. He was only fifty-eight years old when he died.
Chen Shigong has mastered the art of Jiejie to great perfection in the Jieju Academy, and wants to give Zhang Juzheng a surprise.
Pull the big buttocks with a small knife to open Zhang Yuanfu's eyes.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng respectfully sent His Majesty away from the Wenhua Hall. When he walked out of the Wenhua Hall, the sun at noon shone on him, and the early spring sunshine still had a coldness.
He was a little confused. What he said today is right. His Majesty is not against the exchange of interests. The exchange of interests between His Majesty and him is as smooth as the exchange of interests between him and Yang Bo. It feels like His Majesty is an old man. Like fried dough sticks.
But Zhang Juzheng knew one thing for sure. His Majesty, who was still young, had the same goal as him, which was to revive the Ming Dynasty.
The road to making Ming Dynasty great again is long and difficult.
