Chapter 26: The title of Marquis is not my intention, but I hope Hai Boping
Why doesn’t Zhu Yijun suspect that Ge Shouli is working for the Jin Party?
Because Ge Shouli is charging into the battle, and criticizing the chief minister, the most reasonable process is to let the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate charge into the battle, instead of Ge Shouli himself, the general constitution, rushing in and giving nothing.
Ge Shouli’s doubts, Ge Shouli’s doubts, and Ge Shouli’s questions are all based on a basic suspicion.
That is Zhang Juzheng referring to a deer as a horse.
Zhu Yijun asked the old farmer about the yield per mu.
Ge Shouli once served as the Minister of Household Affairs in the Ming Dynasty, and he should have some understanding of the yield per mu, so when he first heard that the yield per mu was over a thousand catties, his mind immediately jumped to Zhang Juzheng's manipulation of authority and the practice of imperial power. On.
Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant, did indeed act a bit domineering.
The yield per mu in the north of the Ming Dynasty, one acre of land, harvested wheat in summer and harvested millet in autumn, totals more than two stones, about three hundred catties;
In the south, the yield per mu is summer harvested rice and autumn harvested rice. From wheat or rice, one acre of land can produce about four shi of grain a year, which is about more than 570 kilograms.
What did Luo Gongchen say? It is said that the yield per mu is tens of shi, even if the yield is 15 shi per mu, what is the concept? No matter how unpalatable potatoes or sweet potatoes are, they are still food. When you are hungry, how can you care whether they taste good or not?
In Ge Shouli’s opinion, isn’t this Zhang Juzheng referring to a deer as a horse?
Not to mention Ge Shouli, not many ministers in the DPRK believed it.
If Zhu Yijun didn't know that this yellow lump of earth could really produce dozens of stones, he would also think that Zhang Ju was exaggerating and teaming up with Luo Gongchen to deceive you.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Ge Zongxian and Luo Tongzhixian came up with such auspiciousness for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Haven't they already started planting? Why not wait until the results come out?"
"Your Majesty, I am terrified." Ge Shouli tossed his sleeves, knelt on the ground and kowtowed five times, crying bitterly.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked: "Does Mr. Ge farm? I have some doubts and would like to ask for advice."
Ge Shouli was a little confused, and he said blankly: "My lord, ...It’s not about farming.”
“Forget it, you can continue the discussion.” Zhu Yijun waved his hand nonchalantly and motioned for Ge Shouli to sit down.
Ge Shouli stood up in a daze, and sat down in his seat in confusion, only to realize that he seemed to have been tricked.
This attack and impeachment by the General Constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate against the chief assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion ended without any problem due to His Majesty the Emperor's sidestep.
Ge Shouli came back to his senses and knew what his problem was.
He was talking about rules, and His Majesty was talking to him about facts. He kept saying that I was here to support Kuang Fu, and he could withstand the difficulties. In the end, he couldn't even answer the doubts of the ten-year-old emperor, so what else was there to talk about? Where is Prime Minister Kuang Fu?
The court discussion is still continuing, and the matter of Qi Jiguang Machinery sending Dong Fox’s nephew back to Beijing is on the agenda.
Zhang Juzheng meant to open the Desheng Gate to the Ministry of War to receive the reward at the Huangji Palace, while Yang Bo proposed that Qi Jiguang hand over the criminals in Beitucheng, collect the reward in Beitucheng, and return to Jizhou as soon as possible. The reason was that Qi Jiguang, as the chief military officer, wanted to go back as soon as possible, lest the northern barbarians would go south again and invade the border.
Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites, also expressed his opposition to Qi Jiguang's entry into the city. The generals entered the city without any reason, which was inconsistent with etiquette.
Zhu Yijun found it extremely amusing. Here, Tan Lun of the Jin Party rebelled and was of the same mind as Zhang Juzheng, while over there, Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites promoted by Zhang Juzheng, stabbed Zhang Juzheng in the back and started playing with the Jin Party. You and I.
Lu Shusheng was from Huating, Songjiang Prefecture, the same person who served as Xu Jie's first assistant in the Ming Dynasty. Lu Shusheng was a fellow villager of Xu Jie. When Xu Jie was in charge of the Hanlin Academy, he was the teacher of Zhang Juzheng and Lu Shusheng.
After more than ten years of ups and downs, Xu Dang, who defeated Yan Song, has long since given up everything. Most of those who are still in the court have joined the Jin Party or the Jin Party. Zhang Dang’s embrace.
Zhang Juzheng and Lu Shusheng were classmates, so after Emperor Longqing's great success and the vacancy of the Minister of Rites, Lu Shusheng became the Minister of Rites on the recommendation of Zhang Juzheng.
Then, when Luo Gongchen wanted to collect the foreign ship tax, when Qi Jiguang returned to the court to receive the reward, and when the emperor's relatives were attending to the farmers, Lu Shusheng stabbed Zhang Juzheng three times in the back.
Zhang Juzheng was not too persistent, but continued to preside over the court meeting until the end.
"Your Majesty, please pay your respects. I will take my leave." Upon seeing the ceremony, the ministers began to withdraw from the Wenhua Hall, while the attendants, lecturers, and scribes began to enter.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend someone. This person is originally from a farmer. He is familiar with farming and has extraordinary knowledge of farming. He is a native of Guixi, Jiangxi and was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing."
"Has Mr. Yuan Fu ever farmed?" Zhu Yijun asked without seeming to care.
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "I planted it when I was very young, but after I became a boy, I never went to the fields again. Your Majesty has doubts, but I can't answer them, so I recommend others."
< br>"Oh? Since it was recommended by Yuan Fu, where is this person now?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "People are running around in the capital."
Zhang Juzheng was a military household. The military garrison in the Ming Dynasty was both farming and farming, so Zhang Juzheng actually went to the fields when he was a child. , but it was just for fun. After studying, he stopped doing farming and concentrated on studying to obtain fame. He became a scholar at the age of twelve, a scholar at sixteen, and a Jinshi at twenty-three. He was even less successful.
The Xu Zhenming he recommended has nothing to do with the Jin Party in the court, but has something to do with Zhang Juzheng. He is a new Jinshi and his ranking is not high. In the fifth year of Longqing's reign, Xu Zhenming won the Jinshi. The chief examiner that year was Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Xijue was the second-rank examiner. However, Xu Zhenming, who was born in the same Jinshi class as the top three, was not qualified to become a disciple of Zhang Juzheng.
Xu Zhenming knows nothing but farming and water conservancy.
This man went to Shanyin, Zhejiang to serve as a county magistrate and cultivated 39,000 acres of land a year. Just when Xu Zhenming was planning to continue his efforts to promote land reclamation and water conservancy, he touched the interests of the powerful and powerful people in Shanyin and was blocked from continuing. Coupled with the impeachment of officials in the DPRK, land reclamation and breeding were completely stopped.
Zhang Juzheng has read Xu Zhenming's memorial. Among other things, he is a good farmer.
After being impeached by Yan Guan, Xu Zhenming lived idle and returned to the capital to run around, hoping to find someone to recommend him, but he could never find a way. Either the Jin Party or the Zhang Party in the court, whether it was Yang Bo or Zhang Juzhengmen Well, that's not what Xu Zhenming, who was born as a top three scholar and served as a county magistrate in Shanyin, could serve.
It is not that easy to be a disciple of Zhang Juzheng or Yang Bo.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "After I practice martial arts today, I will ask him to come to Jingshan and I will meet him."
Zhang Juzheng began to talk about the banquet. For one hour, half of it was the Analects of Confucius, and half of it was At this time, Emperor Jiantu said that Zhang Juzheng answered every doubt he had with great care. Some of the questions asked by His Majesty the Emperor were so sharp and tricky that even Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister, found it difficult to answer.
Zhang Juzheng sat up straight and said: "Confucius said: "If you don't worry about others, you don't know yourself; when you worry, you don't know others. "
"The Master said: Don't worry that others don't understand you, just worry that you don't understand others. ”
"A gentleman does things sincerely and does not do things just to let others know."
"When you do good deeds, you are afraid that Your Majesty will not know about it, and you are afraid that you will not get titles and official positions; when you have insights and do not share them with others, you are afraid that others will steal them. One's own reputation is something that only those who seek fame will worry about. "
"A gentleman's virtue, conduct, and knowledge all depend on himself. Whether others know about it or not, or whether they recognize it or not, depends on him. There is nothing to worry about, and it will not affect the behavior of a gentleman."
"Your Majesty is above the ninth level. If you can't tell who is virtuous and who is mediocre, and you can't tell whether government orders are beneficial or harmful. It is easy to be deceived by others, so you should be wary. "
"The way of a gentleman is to have a clear conscience; to be independent and pure in heart."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked: "Xu Zhenming cultivates 39,000 acres of land. If a family of four has 20 acres of land, they can support two thousand households and support thousands of people. He has neither claimed credit nor gained fame. How can he be called a gentleman?"
" He is a gentleman." Zhang Juzheng replied solemnly, if Xu Zhenming was not a gentleman, Zhang Juzheng would not recommend him.
"Qi Jiguang trained hard for three years with an army of six thousand, and fought fiercely for more than ten years to defeat the Japanese. He fought thousands of miles away without disturbing any family. He had strict military discipline and was famous both inside and outside. When he reached Jizhou, he kept the northern captives away from the Great Wall. , the title is not obvious, can he be called a gentleman?”
“A gentleman.” Zhang Juzheng noticed something was wrong, but he still answered the question head-on. Qi Jiguang should have been knighted based on his military merit, but his title was not. Where? What did Qi Jiguang say?
Qi Jiguang said: The title of Marquis is not my intention, but I hope the sea will be peaceful.
Zhu Yijun wrote down the names of Xu Zhenming and Qi Jiguang, read them for a long time and then said: "Xu Zhenming was born among the people. He did not ask for credit or gain fame. Now he is living idle. Qi Jiguang fought from the north to the south, defeated the Japanese invaders and rejected the northern invaders. He has no title and no title."
"Mr. Yuan Fu taught me, why Xu Zhenming has no way to ask for help? Qi Jiguangji sent Dong Hu's nephew to the capital, why can't he go to the capital to receive the reward? He can only stop at Beitucheng to receive the reward and return urgently, and is not allowed to stay ?”
Sure enough!
Zhang Juzheng knew that giving a feast to the little emperor would never be so smooth sailing!
Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and said: "Xu Zhenming does not need to ask for help. He has been recommended by his ministers, and Qi Shuai will not just stay in Beitucheng."
Xu Zhenming has no way to ask for help from Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng was thinking that if the emperor wanted to ask Nong Sang, he would have to find a professional person, so he thought of Xu Zhenming. As for the border generals entering the city, Zhang Juzheng had already made plans.
Zhang Juzheng took a trick here. Your Majesty asked the rules with facts, but Zhang Juzheng avoided the rules and talked about facts. This is sophistry, but from the perspective of rules, Zhang Juzheng could not answer and could only try to be vague.
A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Yijun's mouth. He heard that Zhang Juzheng was vague and confusing the child, but this question was not sophistry and there was really no way to answer it.
Qi Jiguang is doing well now and has taken refuge under Zhang Juzheng.
Yu Long, Qi Hu, and Yu Dayou are also famous generals in the war against Japan. They are famous all over the world for their dragon generals. Up to now, they are only fourth-level commanders. They can't do anything. If they do a little bit of work, the impeachment of the official will follow. Yu Dayou is only two levels higher than Luo Gongchen, the fifth-grade coastal defense fellow.
Zhu Yijun picked up the brush on the table, thought for a while and said: "Don't forget your original intention when doing things, have a heart as solid as a rock, do things down-to-earth, and make achievements. You are a true gentleman. He uses his words to make troubles out of nothing, and deliberately creates conflicts." , What a villain. Who is a virtuous minister, who is a nefarious minister, whose actions are beneficial to Ming Dynasty, and whose actions are harmful to Ming Dynasty, you can judge based on this standard."
" He said: A true gentleman is one who has a solid heart and pursues his goals with sincerity. He is a true villain who uses his words to waste his time on right and wrong. What can be done to advance and what can be retreated from? "
Zhang Juzheng read it carefully and then solemnly said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhang Juzheng was a little confused. Feng Bao could not teach such a truth. Queen Mother Li taught it. If we don’t understand this principle, who taught us these principles?
These truths came from the correspondence between Zhang Juzheng and His Majesty, word for word!
Zhang Juzheng dug around and found that these principles were all taught by him!
