Chapter 295: Monarch and minister? Conjugated Master and Disciple
"Can you stay?" Zhu Yijun leaned back on the chair again, as if he was used to such dirty things.
In these years, Zhu Yijun has seen too much evil, from the initial assassination of the king to the Jin party who constantly tried to overstep and even hoped to completely control the Beijing camp in his own hands, he saw Zhang Siwei's fire Burning the palace, I have seen the humble Confucians confusing right and wrong, I have seen that even Qi Jiguang's achievements in pinging the Japanese can be talked nonsense, I have seen that they are twice as much, and they use the power of the master's power to do arrogant things, and I have seen the evil spirits causing chaos. , saw the human suffering caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters.
He has seen too much evil. Zhu Yijun should have been disappointed by these things, but Zhang Juzheng told Zhu Yijun that this is the purpose of the cheap Confucians, to let disappointment continue to accumulate, and finally turn into despair and ambition. The ambition was constantly being wiped out in countless filth, and in complete despair, he resorted to Huang Lao's learning and ruled.
The reason why Zhu Yijun was not disappointed was that he also saw the virtuous people who tried to save the Ming Dynasty, and met Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Zaiyu, Qi Jiguang, Tan Lun, Wang Guoguang, Yin Zhengmao, Ling Yunyi, Pan Jixun, etc., and even It is the loyalty of the marquis Yu Zhao and Zhou Liangyin to the country. They have seen the Marquis Yuan of Duntai staying up all night, the bravery and fearlessness of coastal defense patrols and sea flying, and the victorious Beijing camp who reported to the emperor to rescue the head of Guizhou. The military discipline is strict. Wu Fei saw the official factory rising from the ground in Yongding, the Ming Dynasty's exploration of science, and the hardworking people farming on the desert land.
The bad thing is Ming Dynasty, and the good thing is Ming Dynasty. These are all Ming Dynasty.
Disappointment and hope are constantly intertwined, and spears and shields are constantly colliding and sparking.
As Zhang Juzheng said, the world situation is changing, the public opinion of Chongxin is changing, and people's morals are also changing. Today's New Deal is implemented, and after the country has been revitalized, why continue the New Deal? The development of all things in the world is a situation in which contradictions are solved one after another, and it is an upward spiral.
“You can keep it.” Zhang Juzheng washed his hands in the newly thawed pool and said with a smile: “Your Majesty once said, one is one, two is two. After all, this Ming Dynasty will eventually have The difference is that everyone will know that it is still possible to live like this. Even if there is a counterattack and overcorrection in the future, they will remember that it can still be like this."
"No, no, sir, you are too optimistic." Leaning back in his chair, he was completely different from Zhang Juzheng's optimistic attitude. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Sir, you still underestimate these monsters."
"Sir is a gentleman. It is difficult to imagine the evil of despicable people. Even if you speculate on them with the greatest malice, you will still overestimate their lower limit. I, the emperor of tomorrow, do not believe in the wisdom of future generations."< br>
Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng had differences. They had completely different attitudes on whether they could leave things behind.
Zhu Yijun was more negative, so he was more radical, while Zhang Juzheng was more optimistic. He chose Ding You to become an official, and he chose to return to politics. He is now more optimistic, and his optimism is entirely because the emperor he trained has become a talented person. If the emperor fails, Zhang Juzheng will probably become more negative and pessimistic.
People change.
"Your Majesty, you still have to be wary of Wang Chonggu." Zhang Juzheng sat on the other side. He was not interested in who wanted to kill him. There were so many people who wanted to kill him. As for what the cheap Confucian did to him. He is not interested in slander and scolding him for the rest of his life. He is very concerned about His Majesty's safety.
In his opinion, Wang Chonggu was in danger of overstepping his authority.
In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, which was completely accountable to the superiors, the only people who could truly threaten the safety of the emperor were the courtiers. No matter what kind of conspiracy or plot against the emperor, only people with the status of courtiers were the real ones. Sexual threats.
The Xishan attack and murder case may seem dangerous, but in fact the emperor only needs to be protected by Tiqi and does not take the lead in charging, and his right arm will never be injured.
Wang Chonggu has committed the crime of transgression. Zhang Juzheng is not above the court. Lu Tiaoyang is definitely not Wang Chonggu's opponent. If His Majesty really trusts Wang Chonggu too much and Wang Chonggu transgresses again, the world may be in danger of overthrowing. , King Lu is obviously not the material to be the emperor. Once again, the young country is doubtful, and the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be in turmoil.
Zhu Yijun also said very solemnly: "After Mr. Ding You, the only time he spoke about national affairs was the last time he asked for mercy, but was harassed by Wang Chonggu. Why are you so afraid of Wang Chonggu?"
Zhang Juzheng said with great certainty: "He made noises about official Fukue and used the king's sword, which is transgression in itself."
"What you said is reasonable." Zhu Yijun understood the starting point of Zhang Juzheng's memorial. It was Wang Chonggu who instigated the behavior of officials such as Fu Que and killing people with a borrowed knife. This in itself was a crime of transgression.
The political fights between courtiers should not involve the emperor. In the past five years, Zhang Juzheng has never used the emperor to deal with anyone. Not long after Wang Chonggu entered the cabinet, he used the emperor to kill people.
Zhu Yijun thought again and again, and after sorting out the whole thing again, he said: "I think I can lend him the knife. He is different from Mr. He has skills but no morals. If he If you don’t lend me this sword, it will cause me to be afraid.”
Wang Chonggu also wanted to create an atmosphere where all his power came from the emperor, which would also make the emperor feel at ease. Wang Chonggu and Zhang Juzheng were completely different. Different, Zhang Juzheng was His Majesty's Taifu, Wang Chonggu was guilty of meritorious service, and that strand of hair is still in the palace. Just like he could not invest in Nanya Kaihai and could only borrow Zhu Yijun as the emperor, Wang Chonggu could not do it without relying on the emperor's prestige. Show any strength.
Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng each have their own positions and naturally have different attitudes towards one thing.
This is just a disagreement, not a dispute over lines. Differences are very common among people, but in a dispute over lines, people will agree on different ways and not work together.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true." Zhang Juzheng also agreed with His Majesty's thoughts. After all, Wang Chonggu was doing something, and he was doing it extremely well. The emperor was also very thoughtful. Zhang Juzheng asked for leniency because he wanted the emperor to do it. When you need to deal with Wang Chonggu, you won't be at a loss as to where to start.
When the emperor stalled, Zhang Juzheng was about to apply the brakes.
"Sir, you are so worried about me, why don't you just go back to the court? Why go around in such a big circle?" Zhu Yijun started to clamor for Zhang Juzheng to return to the court to serve. Zhang Juzheng was not in the court, and Zhu Yijun didn't have much. He spends all his time not doing his job, but focusing on state affairs all day long.
Zhang Juzheng smiled and did not discuss this issue further. He was good to everyone in Xishan. When Ding You is over, His Majesty takes charge, and the monarch and his ministers return to their respective positions, it is the best thing in the world.
"Sir, I don't plan to move the palace. After the wedding, I will still live in Xiyuan." Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng communicated about a major matter. It is impossible to move the palace.
The courtiers were waiting for the emperor to return to Qianqing Palace for his wedding, but the courtiers were completely wrong. The little emperor had no intention of going back at all.
"This..." Zhang Juzheng's expression changed. He had a psychological shadow on Xiyuan. After Master Dao lived there, the Ming Dynasty was in chaos, and the country became even more decadent after a slight improvement.
"Why don't your Majesty move back to Qianqing Palace." Zhang Juzheng tried to advise, and he said sincerely: "After returning to Qianqing Palace, the Queen Mother of the two palaces can often see Your Majesty. Your Majesty went to Xiyuan, The queen mothers of the two palaces can only see Your Majesty on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."
Zhang Juzheng did not think that there would be any danger in the Qianqing Palace after the fire burned the palace. Wang Chonggu built this palace. The thing is, even if the Duke of Thunder, the Mother of Lightning, and the True Monarch of Huode descended to earth together, they could not burn down the Qianqing Palace even if they tried their best.
"I won't come back!" Zhu Yijun said very stubbornly: "I will live in Xiyuan. This guy Zhang Siwei will never expect anyone to reverse the case for him forever."
Zhang Juzhengzheng Justice must be repaid, the little emperor is more narrow-minded than a needle, Zhu Yijun has really lived in Xiyuan all his life, Zhang Siwei has never been able to reverse the verdict in his lifetime, forcing the young emperor to this point, that Zhang Siwei is an iron-clad sycophant.
"Then live in Xiyuan." Zhang Juzheng chose to compromise and stopped admonishing. It would be good to live in Xiyuan. His Majesty's living in Xiyuan does not mean that he is ignoring the government's affairs.
Zhu Yijun rolled down his sleeves and took out a civilian newspaper. There was an article on the new edition of Journey to the West. It was written by Wang Qian, the supervisory censor. Wang Qian used the new edition of Journey to the West to make some satire. thing.
"Wang Qian's pen is still very strong." Zhang Juzheng said with admiration after reading the newly compiled "Three Strikes of White Bone Demons" in Journey to the West.
Yan Song's son Yan Shifan is also very smart, and his wisdom is almost like that of a demon. But as he walked, Yan Shifan thought that he was the one holding the Ming Dynasty, and even asked for bribes and went to Prince Yu's Mansion. Master Dao knew how it was possible Don't be angry.
Wang Qian is very similar to Yan Shifan, but different. Wang Qian dare not commit the crime of transgression because his father has already committed it.
The protagonists of this new version of Journey to the West are not the masters and apprentices, nor the white-bone demons who were beaten, but the evil ghosts and tree demons watching the show.
A hundred-year-old evil ghost is called Lin Niang, and a thousand-year-old tree demon is called mother-in-law.
Mother-in-law and Ling Niang heard the news that day that Tang Monk came to Baihu Ridge with a scripture-seeking group.
The mother-in-law said to Ling Niang: "These days, be sure to stay calm. Don't go out if you can, otherwise you will lose your soul."
Ling Niang was surprised: "This Tang Monk meat If you can live forever after eating it, why should you stay calm and not go out?”
My mother-in-law told Ling Niang how powerful it was.
Who is this Tang Monk? Jin Chanzi was reincarnated as one of the two disciples of Tathagata Buddha. They were the disciples of the Buddha. Sun Wukong was the master who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. His rampant skills were taught by Patriarch Bodhi. And this Patriarch Bodhi taught him Who is the ancestor? In the three realms, only the name is heard, but no one has ever seen his true appearance.
This trip to obtain Buddhist scriptures was arranged by the Buddha, presided over by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and protected by the four levels of merit, the Five Directions, and the Six Soldiers and Six Armors Protector Jialan. Who can be provoked at will?
Grandma said meaningfully: "My mother-in-law told you how powerful this is. You must know it." The Chenghuang Temple is crazy busy. Within a radius of 500 miles around Baihuling, those who deserve to be seriously ill will die early, those who deserve to die will be seduced in advance. Bandits and bandits, whether they are known to each other or not, are all sent away by the bull-headed horse face. Even the weasel that stole two eggs was split in half.”
“I’m just waiting for the golden cicada and the great disciple under the Bodhi Seat to meditate and see peace and tranquility in the world and happiness for the people. , say a few good things after going to heaven, that is a great merit."
The actress was still unconvinced and said: "Isn't Mrs. Baigu of Baihuling Baigu Cave doing well? Life is boring.”
“It was a training that had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for Jin Chanzi and Sun Wukong to conquer the demons. The stage is set up, how can people who don’t sing, say something? Damn it, if it weren't for Mrs. Bones, we wouldn't be able to do this. Wouldn't it be a waste of Jin Chanzi and the Great Sage's time? "Mrs. Bones is just right. After all, the mother-in-law of the thousand-year-old tree demon has seen strong winds and waves. The doorway here is very clear.
“Ling Niang, your little face is very handsome, with a bit of peach color. When a few nobles pass by here, use the water transported from the South China Sea and the rice sent from the daughter country to make fine Seriously put on a pot of rice, and when the noble man is doing meditation, you will pretend to be your daughter, and I will pretend to be the old mother who is sick in bed. When the noble man comes to ask for alms, you will send the rice and ask Elder Tang to say auspicious words. Climb out of bed and kowtow to Elder Tang, and the matter is settled."
Ling Niang was doubtful again and asked: "Why? Isn't it because Liu Ding Liujia is guarding you and is not allowed to go out. "
Grandma slapped Ling Niang on the head and sneered: "You are stupid, you think that if Elder Tang eats our bowl of rice, Elder Tang will become a Buddha in the future. We are such lonely ghosts in the wilderness? Even if Elder Tang forgets, will we, the monks in the Chenghuang Temple and the temple, come to our place to exorcise evil spirits? How much glory can we get by creating a local book?" >
“We are not above the disaster, so the Great Sage is too lazy to use his magical powers.”
On the third day of August, the White Bone Lady was indeed beaten by the Great Sage three times, five divided by two, and Ling Niang did send rice to Elder Tang who was begging for alms, but she did not see Sun Wukong. It turned out that it was Wukong who beat the White Bone Demon three times. , was written a letter of derogation by Elder Tang, and was sent back to Huaguo Mountain to become the Mountain King.
This calamity is not caused by the monster Madam Bones, but by the gap between master and apprentice because of this incident.
The Ling Niang was beautiful and lovely, so she was attracted by the second senior brother Bajie. When Bajie became the envoy of the Purification Altar, he called the Ling Niang to be the purifier. The maid, after all, was blessed by Po Tian. This maiden had such a great fortune that she no longer recognized the tree demon grandma who had protected her for many years. Grandma doesn't blame Ling Niang. After all, the tree demon has also received some favors. At least the local Taoist priests and monks no longer seek trouble from Grandma, and they have become much quieter.
As the saying goes: Bajie met Mrs. Ling by chance, it was fate.
"The story is very well written. Don't write it again in the future. He is so yin and yang. This is indeed what happened. Alas." Zhang Juzheng found that this young man Wang Qian was really a young man.
He was laughing and scolding the governors and governors of the Ming Dynasty, especially those who went to the local areas with gold-plated goals to gain experience.
There are also such people under Zhang Juzheng's sect, such as Wang Xiyuan who went to Yunnan, and Li Le who is still serving as Fu Cheng in Yingtian.
If you have a big shot behind you, you will indeed receive special preferential treatment, and the place will also deliberately leave some minor problems that are not so eye-catching so that the gold-plated people can make meritorious deeds. The criticism is very reasonable. Don't criticize in the future.
This is the normal state of officialdom. Officialdom is not all about fighting and killing, but there are also people and sophistication, right?
Zhang Juzheng, who advocated using exams to eliminate the disadvantages of appeasement, also asked Wang Shizhen, the leader of the seven retro-religious sons and the leader of the literary world of the main alliance, to go to Yunyang as governor. The governor of Yunyang was in charge of Zhang Juzheng's hometown, but Wang Shizhen forced himself to be dismissed. Go back to your hometown and live leisurely.
Things like human relationships are unavoidable. Zhang Juzheng's success in the examination broke the disadvantages of appeasement and made the rules fair and made the world clear and clear. Zhang Juzheng could not do it.
Zhang Juzheng is becoming more and more moderate now. If he were not worried about the danger of the country, he would just travel around. Why would he return to the court to serve in the 35th year of Jiajing?
Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng chatted for a long time, traveling far and wide.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yijun got up early. The first batch of wealthy Jiangnan gentry families who moved to Xitucheng arrived in Xitucheng today.
Xitucheng itself is a military stronghold. It was built during the Jingtai period. Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty created a civil fortress and entered the imperial capital from Zijin Pass. He was so arrogant that he was less than ten miles outside the Xizhi Gate of the capital. After setting up camp, Ming Yingzong was sent to call for help.
Ming Yingzong was called the Gate Emperor. He called the gate once in Xuanfu, once in Datong, and once in the capital, three times in total.
During the Jingtai period, Emperor Jingtai began to build Xitucheng outside Xizhimen. This was also a renovation. This military stronghold was built on the old site of Yuan Dadu. In the first year of Tianshun, after Ming Yingzong disbanded the capital camp, it fell into ruins again. , and now it has been picked up by Wang Chonggu to build a residence for wealthy migrant households.
Zhang Juzheng is also going. The first thing is to meet his old friends. Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng are all former friends of Prince Yu’s Mansion. The three of them advanced and retreated together in Prince Yu’s Mansion, and later they all With their own different destinies.
Xu Jie embarked on the road of corruption, Gao Gong embarked on the road of conditional anti-corruption, and Zhang Juzheng embarked on the road of shouldering the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone will leave their names in history. As for who will be scolded, that is The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.
Zhu Yijun actually didn't want to see Xu Jie. He had resentment against Xu Jie. Why didn't this old guy get involved in evil spirits and get involved in Heyi Zhong's affairs? Xu Jie would never end up like Luo Rufang. Luo Rufang had another one in the end. Decent, it is suicide, Xu Jie will definitely be beheaded by Zhu Yijun in public.
The matter of corruption can be recovered by Zhu Yijun by returning the land. How can the negative impact caused by the death of Hu Zongxian and humiliation be reversed?
"Your Majesty, Xu Jie, pays homage to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty." Xu Jie's car was stopped by Tiqi. Xu Jie was dazzled. He could see Tiqi's bright red belt and knew that the emperor was here. .
The Ti of Tiqi means the yellow color of silk and red, which is the virtue of the Great Ming Dynasty. The waistband of Tiqi is red, which means that the emperor is personally present.
Before Xu Jie reached the place where he was three feet away from the jade chariot, he hurriedly took his son to salute, fearing that he would lose etiquette and arrive in the capital, he would no longer be the place where he could run wild in Songjiang Mansion. The place is filled with high-ranking officials.
"You came from Huating, Songjiang. I don't ask you to embody the spirit of uplifting the country and your loyalty to the emperor. I just want to tell you how many people are waiting to make an issue of you, the former chief minister, so that you can do it yourself." Zhu Yijun's tone Extremely deserted, he didn't even meet Xu Jie, and he didn't let Xu Jie stand alone. He didn't recognize that he was Xu Jie's disciple, and he warned him as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was a stern warning.
Take care of yourself, don't seek death, don't be a monster.
The reason why Zhu Yijun wanted to see Xu Jie was to tell Xu Jie that he should be honest in the capital. He sent Tiqi to keep an eye on him. If there was any change, he would die without a burial place.
Zhu Yijun's warning was not without purpose. It came out of nowhere. Gao Gong was almost blamed for the case of assassinating the king and killing the driver, and was almost blamed for Gao Gong for the case of burning the palace. If something happened again, Xu Jie must have a forehead full of shit.
Seeing that His Majesty did not want the majority, Feng Bao shook his fly whisk and shouted loudly: "Get up and go back to the palace!"
Zhu Yijun opened the carriage on the other side and said to Zhang Juzheng with a smile: "Sir, I am taking the girl back to the palace first, and will come to see you next month."
"I respectfully send you off to your majesty." Zhang Juzheng hurriedly bowed his head in greeting.
"Let's go." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and Feng Baocai signaled that he would drive towards the capital in a jade chariot. Leaving the Yicheng residence in Xishan, His Majesty once again became the king who ruled the world without anger and authority, and He is not a lazy fool. His Majesty is most relaxed when he is at the Yicheng Mansion in Xishan.
Xu Jie looked at the emperor's appearance and knew that the emperor was a political figure. The first element of a political figure is that he has a dog face. He was smiling broadly with Zhang Juzheng. What was this if he didn't have a dog face?
When the car was completely gone, Xu Jie dared to get up from the ground. This trip was tiring and not very hard. The road surface was smoothed, and the new car was equipped with a 'bu' structure for shock absorption. The spring steel made Xu Jie's migration far less difficult than he thought.
"Mr. Huating." Zhang Juzheng stepped forward to greet him. Xu Jie actually taught Zhang Juzheng when he was in the Hanlin Academy.
"I have met Yicheng Bo. This is the dog son Xu Ying, Xingsan." Xu Jie's official rank is the first rank, but Zhang Juzheng is a super-rank earl, and he is also a civil servant, so Xu Jie also needs to be honored.
The eldest son Xu Fan is traveling in Europe and the West, the second son Xu Kun is disposing of property in Songjiang, and the third son Xu Ying comes to Beijing with him.
After the two people saw each other, they looked at each other without saying a word. Things have changed and people have changed. Ten years have passed since Xu Jie ruled the country, and the Ming Dynasty has also undergone earth-shaking changes. .
"In the first year of Longqing, the Tuman Khan invaded the capital. You and I both failed Emperor Shizong's trust." The first sentence Zhang Juzheng said was to blame. It was to say that the real reason for Xu Jie's downfall was that Prince Yu's Mansion There were three people in total, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng. Gao Gong did cover up the Jin Party, but he had to do that in order to reconcile with An Da Khan. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was simply unable to fight on two fronts. One was An Da Khan and the other was Tu. Quite sweaty.
Xu Jie's real crime was to live up to the Taoist entrustment. Xu Jie's corruption was not a problem. Yan Song was also corrupt, and Xu Jie was also corrupt. The clear and turbulent streams lead to the same destination by different routes.
Ke Xu Jie is incompetent.
Emperor Longqing was an emperor who didn't care about anything. As the chief minister of the country, Xu Jie allowed the Tuman Khan to invade because of his incompetence.
"Today, Qi Jiguang and the Beijing camp have successively captured Daningwei, Quaningwei, and Yingchang. The Daxianbei Mountain Road is completely occupied by the Ming Dynasty. Shanxi merchants cannot sell goods through this road. Dongyi Jian Slave." Zhang Juzheng said the second sentence, the specific meaning of Qi Jiguang's occupation of the Daxianbei Pass.
The mountain roads of the Daxianbei Mountains are in the hands of the barbarians. The Jin Party in the northwest, the Mongolians in the east and the northeast, and the slaves in the northeast are in danger of collaborating to cause harm. This was the case when Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Ju were in Prince Yu's Mansion. The crisis that all three of them saw was the real crisis that overthrew the Ming Dynasty.
However, when Xu Jie was in charge of the country, not only did he fail to prevent this crisis, but the barbarian Khan invaded the capital and the country was shaken.
Failure to defend the country entrusted to him is Xu Jie's biggest crime as the chief minister. Yan Song defeated Xia Yan in the 27th year of Jiajing, and Anda Khan joined the invaders in the 29th year of Jiajing, so Yan Song was a traitor. He is a sycophant, an incompetent minister, and no one can reverse his case.
Yan Song is treacherous and incompetent, is Xu Jie loyal and virtuous?
"I know, I know you are great! Come on!" Xu Jie shook his sleeves and said angrily.
Xu Fan knows his father best, and knows what Xu Jie’s heart disease is, that is, Zhang Juzheng is stronger than him, and several times stronger than him. This is what Xu Jie cannot accept the most, and has always been One of the fundamental reasons for dissatisfaction.
"You taught your disciples well, and you taught them the masters of the ZTE; you were great in governing the country, and the Ming Dynasty had the hope of the ZTE; you were great in making the country rich, and in just five years the Ming Dynasty had six annual expenditures; you were powerful in strengthening the army, and Qi Jiguang led it The Hulu people from the capital camp ran to fight outside the wall and fell on their backs. You are so powerful. You are so powerful. Why did you come down and sit on it yourself!" Xu Jie's face was red, he pointed at Zhang Juzheng and roared, his facial features twisted together, extremely ferocious.
This is the biggest anger Xu Jie has ever had since he became an official. He was reprimanded by his disciples in front of his face, and he became angry from embarrassment.
The little emperor wanted to kill him. Xu Jie knew this before he came, but Zhang Juzheng's scolding in front of him was completely unacceptable to Xu Jie, especially saying that he was incompetent instead of saying that he killed Hu Zongxian. Corruption, the collapse of a party because of corruption, the same party and the opposition of different parties, can also be attributed to the enemy being too strong or because of incompetence. This is a denial of a person's life.
In terms of killing people and punishing the heart, Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng can be said to be of the same strain. It's hard to say who taught whom. They are probably the same type of people.
Monarch and minister? It’s just a master-disciple conjugation.
"Your Majesty is so wise, why should I sit on it?" Zhang Juzheng clearly explained why he spoke like this.
Zhang Juzheng told Xu Jie that he returned to power confidently and boldly because the emperor was very ambitious and powerful. If he really wanted to die, he would consider the emperor's thunderous wrath.
Xu Jie understood immediately that Zhang Juzheng actually meant well and was reminding him that the emperor was not to be trifled with.
As for sitting on and stepping down, of course it refers to the throne of the Ming Emperor. Zhang Juzheng really served as regent for five years. It was Zhang Juzheng’s own choice to step down. The little emperor really wanted to stay, not In a desperate attempt to keep his husband, Zhu Yijun even gave Zhang Juzheng the title of Duke of Yicheng and left Dingyou in Xishan in the capital.
This was the emperor's decision, and it was also the only two foreign ministers the emperor trusted, Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang.
The emperor visited Zhang Juzheng every month and wrote to Qi Jiguang every month. Wang Chonggu, Wang Guangguang, Wan Shihe, and even Hai Rui did not have this honor.
"These officials in the court are no longer good. The emperor goes to the homes of his ministers to visit him. He comes once a month, and these officials don't scold you to death. They are really useless." Xu Jie is still stubborn. , but his anger has subsided. Zhang Juzheng is several times stronger than him. This is an indisputable fact, and Xu Jie cannot accept it.
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "If I didn't protect them, these officials would have been beaten to death by your majesty before Duke Hua Ting entered the capital. But you are right, it is true. They are rubbish and idiots. Wang Chonggu set a trap for them so clearly, but they also got in. "
Zhang Juzheng is indeed protecting the ministers. He is responsible for putting the brakes on the emperor.
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
