Chapter 40: The truth is complete, but the truth is straightforward
Hai Rui is Qingliu’s idol! Benchmark! Role model! It's the way Qingliu wants to live but doesn't dare to live it!
When Gao Gong wanted to force Hai Rui to resign, he just merged the Jiangnan grain inspector's errands into the Nanjing Hubu Yamen, leaving Hai Rui with nothing to do. As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Gong dealt with Hai Rui , and still have to be so cautious, yet even received verbal and written criticism from Qingliu.
Now that Hai Rui is about to return to the court, the censors stood up one after another, gathered together, and all talked excitedly.
"Your Majesty is wise! The ethics of discipline and ethics are gone, and not only the people can survive! Hai Rui returns to the court, the sky is bright and clear! Good, good, good!"
"Oh! An It's okay to ignore it! It's okay to do it easily! It's okay to talk about it!"
"Since your Majesty has no intention of criticizing officials, Even from the hands of the powerful prime minister, Haigang Feng was recalled to serve in the DPRK. Doesn't that mean that Luo Zun, Jing Song, and Han Bixian really deserved their punishment?"
"That's right, Jingying? The matter is so big that the people of Jin all belong to the Jin Dynasty. How can His Majesty sleep in peace overnight? Is it true that this impeachment is a bit unruly? "
"I said before that the incident at the Asahi Temple was unethical. , there is another secret, you don’t believe it, if you have to say that Yuan Fu is the one causing the trouble, is it possible that Zhang Shoufu is just a basket that can put anything in it?”
……
Ge Shouli stood in front of the Chengtian Gate, watching most of the Ke Dao speakers start to leave, looking a little lonely. He tried hard to talk, but these Ke Dao lecturers just didn't believe him. When Hai Rui was mentioned, they all started to believe him. .
He, the General Secretary, is really frustrated.
Jia Sanjin looked around and saw that there were fewer and fewer people. He gritted his teeth and finally stamped his feet and left.
The rule of the game in Chengtianmen Chaotianque is that the law does not blame everyone. Since His Majesty has allowed Haigangfeng to return to the court and calmed down the public anger, the number of courtiers in Chaotianque has become less and less. If you continue, you will expose him, I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat.
Finally, in front of Chengtianmen, only the imperial guards and cavalry were left, and no more officials stayed here.
The biggest reason why Kedao Yanguan was dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng was that many people recommended Hai Rui. Zhang Juzheng couldn't resist, so he asked Qiongzhou's censor to inspect Hai Rui.
As a result, the imperial censor arrived at Hai Rui's home. It was really a family home with books and books on the walls. The house was cold and simple, and the family had no money. All Hai Rui had was books and a sense of righteousness. The weather in Hainan was warm. If it were in the north, Hai Rui would freeze to death if he relied solely on his righteousness to survive the winter.
For being so honest, Zhang Juzheng still refused to use Hai Rui. All the officials and officials said: Zhang Yuanfu was afraid of Hai Rui's seriousness and stubbornness, so he refused to use him.
Feng Bao looked at Ge Shouli's lonely face, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Old man Ge, if we want to tell you, you should stop being the president and become an official."< br>
“Look at you, in the Wenhua Hall, you are angry with our family, in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you are angry with these officials, this plywood anger, if it is our family, our family will not tolerate it, who will you love? ! ”
"Nonsense!" Ge Shouli tossed his sleeves and walked towards the Wenhua Palace. Ge Shouli did not argue because Feng Bao told the truth.
This matter of Tan Lun's misconduct was impeached by Jing Song and Han Bixian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, when they told Ge Shouli, they did not mention that Lu Shusheng had also behaved inappropriately. Otherwise, Ge Shouli would not have acted in the Wenhua Hall. We can't make such a big fool of ourselves, nor can we fall into such passivity.
Here, Feng Baobao practiced "Qi Ren Jing" and became extremely popular. Isn't this just plywood qi?
This splint gas is the most uncomfortable.
Feng Bao and Ge Shouli returned to the Wenhua Hall and reported everything outside Chengtian Gate in detail.
"Let's discuss it." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and shook his head slightly disappointedly, indicating that the ministers no longer had to stand around and just do what they should do. He continued to read, while the courtiers continued to quarrel.
This dazzling exchange was actually a back-and-forth. In essence, it was using Hai Rui to return to the court in exchange for Ke Dao Yanguan giving up his entanglement and impeachment against Tan Lun, and ending the party dispute.
What if Ke Dao Yanguan still refuses to retreat after hearing that Hai Rui has returned to the court?
Zhu Yijun will look at what Zhang Juzheng can do. If Zhang Juzheng can't do anything, Zhu Yijun will have to go out in person and let the Tiqi take the person and find the bastard who is wagging his lips and talking inside.
Initiate prisons and party strife!
"Hai Rui returns to Beijing, does anyone have any objections?" After Zhang Juzheng sat down, he asked the first thing, Hai Rui returned to the court.
As for Zhang Juzheng, he left the blank float yesterday and actually thought of this result. Zhang Juzheng was very sure that this was not the idea of Feng Bao and Queen Mother Li. Feng Bao had only been an ancestor for six months. Empress Dowager Li has lived in Qianqing Palace for less than five months.
When Hai Rui returned to the court, Zhang Juzheng was very sure that it was His Majesty's idea. Zhang Juzheng had long recognized what kind of face was hidden under the sunny smile of the little emperor.
Of the three officials in charge of the palace, only the young emperor can make this kind of logical and natural exchange of interests.
Zhang Juzheng even saw a kind of expectation in the emperor's eyes. When Feng Bao and Ge Shouli returned, that expectation turned into a kind of disappointment and boredom.
The disappointed people all left and went back to the official office? Bored enough to want to see rivers of blood flowing? !
The courtiers looked at me and I looked at you. They all said nothing. Before that, they were all the chief ministers of the country and refused to let Hai Rui return to Beijing. Since Zhang Juzheng himself did not If they object, the courtiers will have no objections.
"The song is complete, and the false statement is straight." Zhang Juzheng said very calmly when he saw no one objected.
This is what Lao Tzu said in Chapter 22 of the Tao Te Ching. Being flexible and adaptable to the general situation can lead to self-perfection. Zhang Juzheng is not optimistic about Hai Rui's return to Beijing. If Hai Rui returns to Beijing again, He spoke out and remonstrated, causing the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to misunderstand him during the conversation. He was afraid that he would not even have the chance to return to his hometown for leisure.
But Zhang Juzheng still took out the memorial recommending Hai Rui, rubbed it a little, stamped the book together, and handed the recommended memorial to Zhang Hong, the eunuch of Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yijun took out the treasure of Wanli and stamped it on the memorial. The memorial was taken back to the desk of the president of the court and handed over to the officials. This is called the next chapter, which means that after the memorial is stamped, it becomes a memorial. The memorial is under the chapter. Six departments will be issued for detailed processing.
Yang Bo had no objections to Hai Rui's return to Beijing, so he put down his signature and his own seal.
Then Wenyuan Pavilion will draft an imperial edict, count all the things Hai Rui has done in the past, write the names of recommended people into the edict, and then rush to send it to Hainan, so that Hai Rui can leave for home. Beijing. It would take at least 180 days, or half a year, for Hai Rui to return to the capital. It was a long journey from Beiya to Qiongzhou.
Zhu Yijun is studying, and he doesn’t blame the officials for looking up to the sky.
Most of them are officials who have just graduated from the Hanlin Academy to observe politics. They are young people. They are enthusiastic, enthusiastic, passionate, impulsive, and They are willing to express their opinions on state affairs, but they are intolerant of evil, and they are equally easy to be exploited.
There are so many censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, are they all members of the Jin Party?
But these censors are easily incited by a small group of bad guys who are so bad that they ooze pus and stir up trouble everywhere.
Wind force, public opinion, clear discussion, most of them are like this.
Zhu Yijun does not blame them. If young people are not energetic and passionate, are they still young people? Their blood is cold, and the Ming Dynasty is just a pool of stagnant water. There is no way to save it, and they can wait to die.
However, after this incident, Zhu Yijun discovered that Ge Shouli probably really didn't know about Lu Shusheng's misconduct, and was firmly controlled by the information cocoon compiled by the censors.
When Hai Rui returns to Beijing, will he be tightly controlled by the information cocoon and become a sharp knife in the hands of the clan members?
Zhu Yijun was reading and writing with a calm expression. When Hai Rui returns to Beijing, he will definitely hold this knife firmly in his hand.
Zhang Juzheng sat up straight and began to discuss the second matter.
Qi Jiguang returned to Beijing.
Qi Jiguang is going back to Beijing, and he is opening the Emperor’s Palace to receive his reward.
Zhang Juzheng's attitude was very serious, and he made specific and clear requirements for the specific time and etiquette for Qi Jiguang to station in Beitucheng, enter Deshengmen, East Chang'anmen, and Chengtianmen.
When Zhang Juzheng said this, he had been looking at Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites, and he hoped that Lu Shusheng would not make a mistake on this matter.
"The clan party is constantly rejecting each other. Your Majesty is deeply worried and the Queen Mother is anxious. Luo Zun, Jing Song and Han Bixian have said that the impeachment of a minister has been concluded. We should wash our minds and do things with heart. Don't do anything. I made a mistake." Zhang Juzheng closed the memorial in his hand and spoke the most threatening words in an extremely calm voice.
Making the country strong and strengthening its army was Zhang Juzheng’s general policy, and Chen Wushi Shu was the first step in his reform.
A rich country wants to collect taxes, and to collect taxes, it is necessary to regulate officials. Therefore, he promoted the method of examination. Only when officials govern clearly, follow the instructions and follow the instructions clearly, can they collect taxes. Without official administration, talking about collecting taxes is like talking about women selling themselves in brothels. As funny as a busker.
As for strengthening the army, the main force is to strengthen the army with the Southern Army of Ji Liao Commander-in-Chief Qi Jiguang as the core.
This is not in line with the design of the Ming Dynasty system and the laws of the ancestors.
The 100,000 troops with the core of Qi Jiguang's Southern troops were the Ming Dynasty's quick reaction support troops. They could be dispatched whether there was war in the Northeast or Southwest.
This should be the responsibility of Jingying.
No matter how strong Qi Jiguang's Ji Liao army is, it is only a frontier army, not a Beijing army. If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly. Zhang Juzheng let Qi Jiguang take charge of the three towns. This is extremely dangerous.
Because the border army can easily become a scourge that cannot be eliminated, this process will not be transferred according to Qi Jiguang's own wishes. To be more precise, the Ji Liao army will be turned into a scourge, and someone will turn them into a rebel. thief.
If Qi Jiguang could be given a title, even if he was just a nobility, and Qi Jiguang could be transferred to the capital and become the chief military officer of the capital camp, then things in the capital camp would not be so corrupt. Things became justifiable.
Because Jingying is the emperor's own army.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, once issued an edict, asking Zhu Gaochi, who was still the crown prince at the time, to go to the Beijing camp to parade the troops and horses, regardless of wind, frost, rain or snow.
The border army guarded the border and the Beijing camp conquered, which was the ancestral law of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty Jingying camp was disbanded after the restoration of Ming Yingzong and reorganized after Ming Xianzong succeeded to the throne. The Ming army never regained its glory and power.
Zhang Juzheng tried step by step, trying to give Qi Jiguang a title based on his merit, and then Qi Jiguang could justifiably return to Beijing to be the chief military officer. In this way, it was the duty of strengthening the army.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites, and was already a little impatient. If something went wrong again when Qi Jiguang came to Beijing this time, he would not be blamed for being rude.
Does Zhang Juzheng have any means? He has many means, but it is the easiest thing to throw dirty water on others. If Lu Shusheng dares to make trouble on such a matter that has been approved by the court, then he cannot be blamed. Zhang Juzheng became that villain.
For example, if dozens of children come to Lu Shusheng's house to find relatives, no matter whether Lu Shusheng's moral character is noble or not, he can only become an official.
The court discussion was still going on, the courtiers were still quarreling, Zhu Yijun was still reading quite seriously and never spoke again.
After Zhang Juzheng finished talking about Qi Jiguang's visit to Beijing, he became worried. He was actually a little worried that His Majesty would misunderstand the officials.
Kedao Yanguan and the eunuch are the same, they are disgusting existences and are not popular with others. Zhang Juzheng also annoys these people. Ge Shouli calls them by their first names and criticizes the chief minister. What can Zhang Juzheng do? , there is nothing he can do.
There is really a need for Ke Dao Yan Guan to exist. Although they are often used as knives to criticize ministers, it would be chaos if there were no such knives in the court.
Kedao Yanguan is an extremely core part of the Ming Dynasty's error correction mechanism, although this error correction mechanism has gradually deteriorated under the use of the clan party.
Chaotian Que has become a means of political struggle rather than a mechanism to correct the emperor's wrong decrees. Just like the Jin Party originally came together to solve border troubles, it has now become a monopoly on the Tatar tribute market and smuggling. A national party with interests as its core.
"I'll take my leave." The ministers bowed respectfully and left the Wenhua Hall of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Juzheng shook his sleeves, pretending to bow and kneel down to speak. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have some advice."
Only by pursuing my studies can I have everything! ! ! ! I, Xiang, who Lin and my sister-in-law are returning, once again solemnly talk about it! Please, ow! ! ! ! ! !
