Chapter 32 What you want is reasonable
What is Zhang Juzheng’s Chen Wushi doing? stipulating the emperor's obligations.
Since ancient times, the emperor has only rights and no obligations.
Especially under the system design of the Ming Dynasty, when nothing could be done without the emperor's seal, the two emperors Jiajing and Longqing did not go to court and ignored matters, and directly entered the divine system. Hidden mode.
The courtiers wanted to persuade the emperor, but they had no point of exerting their efforts and could not see them. The memorial was sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies. After it was sent to the palace gate, there was no news again.
Zhang Ju is patching up the Ming Dynasty’s state system.
Gao Gong's Chen Wu Shi Shu Li also stipulates the emperor's obligations, and Zhang Juzheng also stipulates the emperor's obligations.
It’s just that Zhang Juzheng’s Chen Wu Shi Shu is more gentle than Gao Gong’s. In summary, it means that the emperor listens to politics at the royal gate, the emperor approves memorials, the emperor summons ministers, state affairs need to be discussed by the court, and officials in the capital need to be evaluated.
Of these five things, the first three offended the emperor and the inner court, and the last two offended the Ming Dynasty official system.
Zhang Juzheng not only said this, he also did this. Once there is no authority and once the emperor no longer supports Zhang Juzheng, then Zhang Juzheng will be really in danger.
Xu Jie was greedy for so much money and bought so much land. Hai Rui investigated Songjiang's land occupation case and presided over the Songjiang Mansion's retreat of land. Xu Jie did not return even an acre of land. Hai Rui was treated as a bribe by the court officials. The charges were dropped.
Gao Gong was in the whirlpool of the assassination of the king, but his family was not destroyed.
Zhang Juzheng offended the emperor on one side and the courtiers on the other. What was he going to do?
He wanted the declining Ming Dynasty to stop its downward speed for a moment.
"The reason why this minister repays his duty to the late Emperor is to be loyal to His Majesty." Zhang Juzheng did not answer the question of whether he was afraid or not, but answered the question from another angle.
Hearing this sentence again, Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then a smile spread from the corner of his mouth, which soon spread into sunshine. Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "What you wish is reasonable."
Should the emperor go to the Wenhua Palace to listen to politics? Should the emperor summon his ministers to discuss important issues? Twenty-seven courtiers of the Ming Dynasty requested an audience. As the center of power of the Ming Empire, should the emperor meet the twenty-seven people? Should the emperor review memorials? Even if it’s a circle or a cross?
Zhu Yijun believes that rationality lies in what is the emperor?
To promote good in the world, to realize the principles of all things, and to be worshiped by all people, it all depends on me.
This is the emperor's right.
Then office work, or more simply sealing, is the emperor's obligation.
Zhu Yijun is not diligent, he just wants to see the Wenhua Palace and watch these nobles of the empire quarreling!
As for whether the officials in the capital should accept such a strict assessment, Zhu Yijun did not argue with the courtiers. He only stood up for Zhang Juzheng. If Zhang Juzheng could do it, he would do it. If he couldn't do it, then when Zhu Yijun grew up, he would do it. , just do it yourself.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng gave a very respectful salute. He didn't know whether the little emperor understood what this round of exchange meant. Zhang Juzheng's gratitude came from the bottom of his heart. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Juzheng’s Chen Wu Shi Shu and Gao Gong’s Chen Wu Shi Shu are both arrogating the imperial power, practicing the imperial power to establish authority for themselves, and then promoting administrative orders and using restrictive parts. The emperor's behavior is used to evaluate the world's bureaucrats, including officials in the capital.
Zhu Yijun’s answer is that it is rational.
Zhang Juzheng was giving a banquet in the Wenhua Hall, and Wang Jiaping, a scholar of banquets, and Lang Fan Yingqi, the number one scholar in the 44th year of Jiajing, came to Yang Bo's Jin Guild Hall and paid a visit.
Zhang Juzheng said that his Quan Chu Guild Hall was far inferior to Yang Bo's Quan Jin Guild Hall.
The two guild halls are close to each other, but the Jin guild hall covers an area of more than 80 acres, which is even more luxurious than the Wei Guogong Palace in Dagongfang, Nanjing City, built by Zhongshan King Xu Da. The Wei Guogong Palace was initially built for only 80 acres. After renovation, it only reached about 100 acres.
And Yang Bo’s Quanjin Guild Hall covers an area of more than eighty acres.
At this time, it was time to go to work. Yang Bo, the official minister, was not at work in the Liubu Yamen. Why was he at home?
It is a common and extremely common phenomenon for leaders to be absent from the yamen. As a political officer, Yang Bo only needs to deposit the ministry meeting list for specific ministry matters.
Zhang Juzheng became the first assistant, and he still worked in Wenyuan Pavilion all day long. This is actually relatively rare. What does the second assistant Lu Tiaoyang do? What do so many Zhongshushe people do?
Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi walked into the Quanjin Guild Hall and saw Yang Bo in the study. Next to Yang Bo stood a very gentle-looking scholar named Zhang Siwei.
After Yang Bo left, the Quan Jin Guild Hall became Zhang Siwei's private residence, and Yang Bo had already started packing his things and was preparing to return to his hometown to live leisurely.
After the trial of the imperial examination is over, Yang Bo will become an official. He had promised Zhang Juzheng before and he would not break his promise.
Yang Bo plans to quit. If he continues, his reputation will be ruined. The Jin Party will become bolder and bolder, and will become less and less under his control.
“The time for the feast has not come yet, shouldn’t you two be in the Wenhua Hall?” Yang Bo frowned and looked at it. Was he kicked out by Zhang Juzheng?
Zhang Juzheng made his promise in full view of everyone, and in exchange for the exclusive use of the feast, he opened the Emperor's Palace and convened a court meeting to reward Qi Jiguang.
Did Zhang Juzheng break his promise?
Wang Jiaping stuttered and told Yang Bo and Zhang Siwei in detail about the banquet in Wenhua Hall.
Yang Bo is old, he is about to retire, and he cannot protect the Jin party members. When he heard what Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi said, he immediately understood that his previous judgment was accurate.
The little emperor is not stupid at all. He was really lazy before. After being assassinated, he finally changed his temper and became serious.
Good thing, this is Yang Bo's first feeling.
Zhang Juzheng said Yang Bo was a virtuous minister more than once in public and private occasions.
Yang Bo knew for sure that his previous judgment was correct. The case of assassinating the king and killing the driver was only temporarily over, not the end. When the emperor grows up and takes charge, this case will be the final chapter. The reason why the Jin Party was uprooted.
But this has nothing to do with Yang Bo. He is about to retire, and he is also sick. The end is approaching. Once a person dies, everything is over. How can he still manage the affairs after his death?
"Two losers!" When Zhang Siwei heard that the two people were kicked out because of their incompetence, his gentle face immediately turned fierce. With this change of face, he became hateful.
Zhang Siwei flicked his sleeves, pointed at Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi, and yelled and cursed.
Yang Bo reached out his hand, pressed down Zhang Siwei's hand, and said with a smile: "Both bachelors, let's go back to the official office and work. Bai Gui doesn't mind the hard work, so let him continue. Carrying the burden of feasting, this is the end of it.”
"Go, go."
"Yes, students are resigning." Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi hurriedly resigned. "These two wastes should be dealt with!" Zhang Siwei's expression became slightly impatient after the two left.
How could Yang Bo let these two bachelors go so easily? They didn't do their job well. It was such a good opportunity to control the little emperor in his own hands!
Zhang Siwei thought that the Jin Party would make a lot of money from this deal, but it turned out to be a good thing. The deal was done, and Qi Jiguang, the reward for opening the Emperor's Palace, had been approved by the court and started to proceed. However, Zhang Juzheng still occupied the A trap for teaching the little emperor.
The deal was done, but only a little bit, and the reason why it was not completed was that Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi were incompetent. How could Zhang Siwei not be angry?
Yang Bo disliked Zhang Siwei very much. Yang Bo would rather give up the position of leader of the Jin Party to Zhang Juzheng and merge with Chu and Jin than let Zhang Siwei be the party leader.
Yang Bo knows Zhang Siwei’s character. Zhang Siwei comes from a business family, and his profit-seeking temperament has long been ingrained and as solid as a rock. Yang Bo knows that people like Zhang Siwei are likely to lead the Jin Party to chaos. In the bottom of the abyss.
A person who is not ambitious and perseverant has no world in his heart, but only selfish interests. A person who is narrow-minded but unswervingly determined, standing high in the temple, is a traitor to the country.
"What happened to Qi Jiguang was Bai Gui's insistence, not exchange. Do you understand the difference?" Yang Bo looked at Zhang Siwei and said the difference.
Zhang Juzheng did not exchange the little emperor's educational rights. Zhang Juzheng made it clear that he had his own way.
As for why Zhang Juzheng decided to monopolize the banquet, Yang Bo also knew that those questions were too tricky.
Yang Bo looked at Zhang Siwei, then at the backs of Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi.
At present, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty have long lost their reverence.
Every minister seems to pay special attention to the little emperor's feast, but Zhang Siwei, Wang Jiaping, Fan Yingqi, and other ministers in the court, some of them have watched the little emperor seriously. What did Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Juzheng do right in the Wenhua Hall?
The Bachelor of Servants will copy down every word of the memorial every day. But if you really care about His Majesty's studies, you will look through the daily notes and you will know that giving lessons to the little emperor is definitely not that good. easy.
Yang Bo had read it, read it carefully. He had seen the memorials, and he knew the nature of the little emperor. Ge Shouli would only get nothing if he went there, so he sent two bachelors to embarrass him.
Scholars are thick-skinned, so it doesn’t matter if they lose a little.
Ge Shouli thought that he was working hard but not getting any benefits, but in fact, Yang Bo was protecting Ge Shouli. If not Yang Bo, Ge Shouli would have died countless times.
Yang Bo had already reminded Zhang Siwei, but seeing Zhang Siwei’s confused look, Yang Bo did not give any further reminder.
What kind of face does the little emperor have underneath his sunny and cheerful appearance?
Yang Bo leaned on the Taishi chair and continued: "In the 40th year of Jiajing, Yan Song was old and Wu Peng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, became an official. Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan, recommended his uncle Ouyang Bi to enter the court. Yan Shifan used his father's In the name of the emperor, the memorial said: Don't avoid suspicion when you marry, to comfort the old man. "Yan Shifan sent a secret memorial to Emperor Shizong in the name of his father, and Emperor Shizong could only accept it and let Ouyang Bi. Jin became the Minister of Rites. "
To comfort Laojing, which means recommending Ouyang Bijin to comfort the old Yan Song.
But the biggest problem with this secret memorial is that Yan Shifan wrote it in the name of his father.
Yang Bo continued: "Later, the ministers were dissatisfied and Ouyang Bijin was dismissed. Emperor Shizong was afraid of chilling the hearts of the old ministers, so he personally issued an order to comfort Yan Song. Yan Song was shocked when he heard this and hurried in I went to the palace and told the emperor that he didn't know about this."
"Yan Song has stopped paying attention to things since his wife left. Yan Shifan did countless things behind Yan Song's back. Jiajing. In the forty-fourth year, Yan Shifan was beheaded, Yan Song's home was confiscated, and he lost his official status and returned to his hometown. Yan Song, penniless and homeless, died of poverty and illness. "
Yang Bo. Why are you suddenly talking about old things from six years ago?
Who was behind the case of assassinating the king and killing the driver?
High arch? If Gao Gong had the courage, he would not live idle in Xinzheng now. Even if Gao Gong had the courage, he does not have the strength. It is not easy to stuff people into the palace.
Yang Bo highly suspected that Zhang Siwei did it, because Yang Bo was wooing Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Siwei had coveted the position of leader of the Jin Party for a long time. Yang Bo was even 80% sure that it was Zhang Siwei who did it.
Yang Bo is very accurate in judging people, which Zhang Juzheng admires very much.
The mess in the assassination of the king and the driving case was cleaned up by Yang Bo. It was Yang Bo who used his old face to go to the Quanchu Guild Hall and begged the chief minister of the government to come forward to calm the matter.
Yang Bo told Zhang Siwei, don't worry, the Jin Party belongs to Yang Bo now, but after all, it belongs to Zhang Siwei.
Zhang Siwei's expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "Song and his son were both pampered and arrogant, and when they fell to this point, they died without a burial place. It can be considered that good and evil will be rewarded in the end."
Yang Bo lost interest in talking to Zhang Siwei. Zhang Siwei had his own opinions and ideas, which could not be corrected by Yang Bo with just a few words.
At such an old age and no longer a child, Yang Bo was too lazy to say anything.
“I’m tired, you can go back.” Yang Bo waved his hand and picked up the tea cup to see off the guest.
"Uncle, I'll leave first." Zhang Siwei said no more and said goodbye to Yang Bo with a smile.
The first thing Zhang Siwei did when he came to the Quanjin Guild Hall this time was to see if Yang Bo was still obsessed with power. Seeing that the Quanjin Guild Hall was packing up things, Zhang Siwei felt relieved. Yang Bo After all, they failed to win over Zhang Juzheng, which is good news for Zhang Siwei;
The second thing is to discuss the marriage between his son and Yang Bo's granddaughter.
Yang Bo's son married Wang Chonggu's daughter, and this is his in-laws.
Zhang Siwei is Wang Chonggu’s nephew and a relative.
But Zhang Siwei still wanted to marry Yang Bo's two granddaughters according to their seniority. This is an in-law relationship.
Yang Bo agreed, and both of these things were accomplished.
"Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng, you work hard for the country and are poor at finding a life, how can you end up well?" Yang Bo sighed and put down the tea cup. He originally planned to marry the daughter he did not have to Zhang Juzheng, so that There was an in-law relationship, but Zhang Juzheng refused.
At this time, in the Daming Palace, the young emperor was practicing martial arts, and the Queen Mother was listening to Feng Bao's report to the court.
After hearing Zhang Juzheng's statement about Chen Wu, Queen Mother Li's expression changed several times, her face became serious, and her thinking made a slight leap.
Zhang Juzheng touched a little bit of the scraps of imperial power, and Empress Dowager Li's thinking jumped to Zhang Yuanfu, who also wanted to learn the high-gong arrogant artifact.
How difficult is it for an orphan and a widowed mother to lead a country?
The empresses of the Ming Dynasty came from the private sector and did not have any help from relatives. Empress Dowager Li was a little panicked for a while.
