Chapter 324 I have something to do and I broke my trust in the world
When Zhu Yijun learned that Zhang Juzheng was about to enter the palace to pay an audience, Zhu Yijun laughed.
Actually, Zhang Juzheng is by no means a young boy who can't defeat him. Most of Zhu Yijun's skills were learned from Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng just couldn't let go of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yijun seized on this and pursued him fiercely. How could Zhang Juzheng remain undefeated?
Just like before, in the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing period, Zhang Juzheng, who had traveled a lot, returned to the capital and began to become a political creature. He simply couldn't let go.
"Your Majesty, I have something that I would like to tell your Majesty." Feng Bao looked at his smiling Majesty, bowed his head and said.
Zhu Yijun replied concisely and concisely: "Tell me."
Feng Bao was obviously hesitant and dared to speak out while the emperor was happy. This was obviously not appropriate. , and it must involve the power struggle between the inner and outer courts.
Eunuchs were the Ming emperor’s sharp sword for the court that could cut him. Emperor Chongzhen felt that the Ming Dynasty could be saved by a court of justice, so it was not a wrong thing to kill the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian The Ming Dynasty could not be saved, and even the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty was caused by Wei Zhongxian.
But Emperor Chongzhen took the initiative to take back the eunuchs sent abroad, and the civil servants were completely out of control, which became one of the causes of more corruption in state affairs.
Later, Emperor Chongzhen also realized this problem and began to reuse eunuchs like Wang Chengen, but it was already too late.
Feng Bao shook off his sleeves, knelt on the ground, and said in a submissive voice: "Your Majesty, I lead the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the study room. The Spring Examination will be held soon. I am thinking about it. Let us, the eunuchs in the study room of the Ming Dynasty, take a test and be ranked. If they don't go out to serve, they will serve in the office."
"Huh?" Zhu Yijun didn't let Feng Bao get up and looked at Feng. Bao frowned, thought for a long time, and then said: "Just get up and speak."
"I thank you for your grace!" Feng Baochang breathed a sigh of relief. If he had changed his master, he would not have been beaten to death by saying this. Dare to say it, but His Majesty is not the kind of indiscriminate master. He obviously noticed Feng Daban's hesitation and hesitation. He wanted to move forward, but he did not dare to move forward.
What do eunuchs want to do when they take part in the official selection examination for the outer court? Does the completion of the exam mean that eunuchs also have the possibility of serving as officials in the outer court?
Collusion between internal and external parties was a taboo of the Ming emperors. Cao Jixiang, the only rebellious eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, and others, were colluding with internal and external parties. It happened during the Tianshun period when the Mingbaozong was in power.
The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty taught eunuchs not to interfere in politics. In fact, the ceremonial supervisor is not in compliance with the ancestral law.
"How did you remember this?" Zhu Yijun was a little curious about Feng Bao's motives. Why did he remember to ask the eunuch's chamberlain to take the official selection examination.
What’s more interesting is that the Ming Dynasty’s Spring Examination took place in June. The delay was naturally due to the game between the emperor and the courtiers about the test questions. The Spring Examination took place in the summer. Although it was a bit late, it still came. .
“Wan Shihe, the Chief of Staff.” Feng Bao said with great certainty.
Why did Wan Shihe decide to study? Wasn't he scolded by the little emperor and scolded by Feng Bao in the Wenhua Palace? It was a great shame and humiliation for a eunuch to read better than a Jinshi. Feng Bao's purpose was to humiliate the court officials and promote the emperor's New Deal in arithmetic and the theory of contradiction.
"Interesting, did you know that those scholars in the outer court are all Jinshi, and they all came here with thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge." Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows, looked at Feng Bao and said uncertainly: "Do you have confidence?"
"You can be a scholar even if you fail the exam, you can be a mountain man and spend your life in idle clouds and wild cranes. However, if you study in the inner study and do not do well, it is It will kill people." Feng Bao was full of confidence. The eunuchs in the inner study of the Ming Dynasty were studying, especially the special examinations of Contradiction Theory and Arithmetic. Confucian scholars were not necessarily the opponents of the eunuchs in the inner study.
The game between the courtiers in the outer court is a zero-sum game, while the conflict among the servants in the Ming Dynasty Palace is a life-or-death prisoner's dilemma. The two degrees of involution are completely incomparable.
When Zhu Yijun admonished Feng Bao, he was very surprised by Feng Bao's kindness. Chen Hong was a former chief of ritual affairs. Emperor Longqing died of an explosion. Chen Hong had an unshirkable responsibility. Feng Bao Actually, Chen Hong was just sent to Langxia's house instead of Shensheng.
Later, Xiao Huangmen and the Xunwei who were sparring, Xiaohuangmen had to persist even if they bit off their tongues, while the performance of the Xunwei was slightly worse than that of Xiaohuangmen, and this was the price. The difference is that if the honorary guards don't perform well, they will be sent home at most, and they can still inherit the title, salary, and senior officials. However, the Xiaohuang Sect really has nothing and cannot persist. It is a sinking well.
"Well, it's interesting, let's take the test." Zhu Yijun agreed to Feng Bao's request. It's just a mule or a horse that can be driven around. The eunuchs in the inner study couldn't pass the Ming Dynasty's Confucian bachelor's degree. That's Of course, these Confucian scholars have been studying for a lifetime, but once they pass the Confucian bachelor's exam, they will definitely press the Confucian scholar's face to the ground, rub it repeatedly, and then spit hard.
Before dawn the next day, Zhang Juzheng, who had returned to the capital and stayed at the Quanchu Guild Hall, had already bathed and changed clothes, and was preparing to enter the palace to meet the saint. You Qi and Yicheng Bo's servants had already sent Quanchu to The guild hall was cleaned up and Wan Shihe went there. Since Zhang Juzheng was going to enter the palace, he was ready to receive the order.
The Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty gathered together to visit the Quanchu Guild Hall yesterday evening, but they were all turned away by Zhang Juzheng.
This time Zhang Juzheng was deprived of his love, but twelve officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly submitted the memorial, and the people's wishes were expressed. Compared with the emperor's new policy, the courtiers were many times more pleased with Zhang Juzheng's new law.
Zhang Juzheng tidied up his court clothes and walked out of the Quanchu Guild Hall. As soon as he walked out, everyone was dumbfounded when he saw the large sedan carried by thirty-two people in front of him!
You must know that the emperor initially denied the performance of Xu Congcheng, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. The carriage got up.
Although His Majesty only asked for military honors, the civil servants immediately stopped sitting in the sedan chair. Your Majesty didn't like it and insisted on sitting in it. Isn't it like a stupid roe deer hitting the muzzle of a gun and not knowing whether to live or die?
As a result, as soon as he went out today, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty directly set up a thirty-two-carry sedan to let Zhang Juzheng swagger through the market!
Li Yougong, the eunuch who wrote the pen, flicked his fly whisk and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree: Mr. Sir, for your hard work and merit, you will be given thirty-two people to carry carriages into the palace to meet the saint. I admire this."
" It's hard for me to obey my order." Zhang Juzheng didn't accept the order at all. If he sat on it, he would be drowned by spittle? There were so many newspaper writers in the Ming Dynasty staring at Zhang Juzheng. Even if he took a car, it would be much better than thirty-two people carrying a sedan!
"Your Majesty said: I know you are not willing to sit down." Li Yougong smiled so hard that his face was full of wrinkles. His Majesty always has some interesting bad tastes. I don't know where I heard the rumor that Zhang Juzheng was in the palace. There was such a sedan, but he could never find it, so he simply gave him one as a reward, but Zhang Juzheng still refused to be fooled.
The eunuchs led by Li Yougong dismantled the sedan chair on the spot and pieced it together into a chariot. This sedan could not be sat on at all.
A chariot with a "宀" shock-absorbing device was put together in less than half a moment. According to the regulations of Zhang Juzheng's Yicheng Bochao Pin, there were a total of five horses pulling the chariot, which was in line with the Ming Dynasty. Ceremonial car.
Zhang Juzheng really obeyed the emperor and dug holes for him everywhere. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he dug a big hole for him to jump into.
The car arrived at the Meridian Gate, and Zhang Juzheng got off the car in front of the five Jinshui Bridges. Inside the Meridian Gate, only the Queen Mother, Her Majesty and the Queen's car could enter. Others waited in the car to go in. This was to test the emperor's temper with the head on his neck. .
Zhang Juzheng walked into the Meridian Gate step by step, walked through the long doorway, and his eyes suddenly opened up. The Tiqi, wearing bright red iron armor, stood on both sides of the road, opening up a path. Pass the Huangji Gate and go straight into the Huangji Hall, which was the place where the Ming Dynasty met.
Drums, trumpets, and cannons began to sound, solemn and solemn.
Zhang Juzheng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He had overriding all opinions and asked Qi Jiguang, who defeated Dong Hu at Xifengkou, to come to Beijing to receive the reward. His Majesty opened the Huangji Palace to receive Qi Jiguang. That time the emperor gave Qi Jiguang a title without any greeting and acted arbitrarily. The ceremony at that time was organized by Zhang Juzheng himself and Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites.
Now, he has become the same person.
What is different from before is that the central axis of the Ming Dynasty Palace has been rebuilt after the disaster and is now more magnificent. Zhang Juzheng pulled up his hem and walked across the Neijin Water Bridge, Huangji Gate, and He walked past the civil and military courtiers waiting on both sides and walked step by step to the front of Huangji Hall. After entering, he bowed five times and kowtowed three times.
"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." Zhang Juzheng greeted him respectfully.
"Declaration." Zhu Yijun signaled Feng Bao to declare the decree.
Feng Bao took three steps forward, and the small yellow door opened the imperial edict. Feng Bao flicked the fly whisk and shouted in a high voice: "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven, and the edict says..."
Imperial edict The content is divided into three parts. First, it counts Zhang Juzheng's achievements, and then begins to tell how difficult the state affairs were when Zhang Juzheng was not in the government. At the request of the ministers, the emperor did his best and recalled the uncle of Yicheng. Mr. filial piety is universal. You know, the purpose of seizing love is to keep your ministers in the world.
Finally, it was announced that Zhang Juzheng was restored to his post, returned to the cabinet, and also took charge of the staff department.
Zhu Yijun is already married. Now he is the head of a family and the king of a country. He can no longer tell Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng, "Qi Shuai, sir, the court officials have bullied me. I have passed the young age."
"No courtesy, sir." Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and said calmly.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to deprive me of the earl of Yicheng. I dare not be greedy for the merits of heaven." Zhang Juzheng said very insistently: "In the thirteenth year of Jiajing, Emperor Shizong decreed that no one could be granted a title except for military merit. . ”
This is indeed the ancestral law.
"The words of Taifu are wrong." Wan Shihe bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. There is no reason to take back the title that has been conferred. If you follow what Taifu said, Please, wouldn’t that also take away Wu Qingbo’s title, and I’m afraid of losing our close friendship?”
Wan Shihe means that this is an ancestral law that is not followed, and Empress Dowager Li’s father. Li Wei, but Uncle Wu Qing, does Li Wei have any merit? As relatives of the emperor, Zhu Yijun and Empress Dowager Li would both burn incense. If Zhang Juzheng obtained the title due to greed, will Li Wei's title be revoked altogether?
As for Queen Mother Li, how did the emperor explain to Queen Mother Li? There is no close friendship, and the emperor breaks his promise and gets fat, and the title he has been awarded is revoked without any mistake, which is untrustworthy.
You, Zhang Juzheng, plunged His Majesty into a state of unfilial piety and untrustworthiness as soon as you returned to court. What are your intentions?
Wan Shihe is good at killing the game with one sentence.
When it does not conform to the ancestral laws, it is said to act according to the times, act according to the situation, and analyze specific matters in detail.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Wan Shihe and confirmed again that this guy had something.
People like Wan Shihe are usually called Guanyouzi, they are so slick!
"What Dazai Wan said is reasonable." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said with great conviction: "There is no world certificate and cannot be inherited. Sir, just do it reluctantly."
Zhang Juzheng could only bow his head and said: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
At this point, if Zhang Juzheng persists, he will be disloyal. Isn't this embarrassing His Majesty?
Wang Chonggu looked at Wan Shihe’s outstanding performance and nodded with certainty, Wan Shihe did a good job! There are not many people who can make Zhang Juzheng feel defeated.
Wang Chonggu was most afraid of Zhang Juzheng, because even if the emperor did not stand aside, he, Wang Chonggu, would not be able to defeat this leader of the country.
Lü Tiaoyang's face was full of relief. After Zhang Juzheng came back, he felt much more relaxed. He could avoid being scolded and slapped three times.
The faces of the court officials were different, but they were all happy.
Zhu Yijun sat up straight, looked at the ministers and said: "There is one thing that I have broken my promise to the world. I have always been very clear about it. Even if the courtiers have not criticized Chen Shan, I know it, and that is the Taxation Institute." The three parties in the civil and military circles are in control of each other. Today, my husband is back, so I will leave this matter to you."
"I obey the order." Zhang Juzheng did not expect that as soon as he came back, his majesty would give him a reinstatement. A gift package, that is, the issue of civilian supervision of the Tax Inspection Institute. Zhu Yijun promised, but later broke his promise. Now that Zhang Juzheng is back, he can continue.
The triangle is the most stable. Only when the three parties control each other can they form a chain of suspicion and allow the tax inspectorate to continue for a long time instead of just a flash in the pan. Only then could the tax system of the Ming Dynasty be completely healthy, and the emperor's credibility be as solid as a rock again!
The reason why Zhu Yijun was handed over to Zhang Juzheng was because of Zhang Juzheng’s party. The specific list of Zhang party included seventy-seven people. Teachers, students, colleagues, staff, etc. are divided into sixty-four core members and thirteen peripheral members.
The fringe members are mainly composed of staff, such as You Qi. His given name is You Shouli. Very few people know this name. Zhu Yijun was curious once and asked Feng Bao, and then he learned about You Qi's real name.
Yin Zhengmao, Song Yiwang, Ling Yunyi, Liu Yingjie, etc. are on the same list, Liang Menglong, Pang Shangpeng, Zhang Xueyan, Chen Rui, Shang Weizheng, Xu Zhenming and others are teachers and students, Tan Lun, Wang Guangguang, Wu Guifang, Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang , Zhang Jiayin, Pan Jixun, He Mingming and others are all colleagues.
The Zhang Party color of these people has gradually become the imperial party in the year of Zhang Juzheng and Ding You. They can only continue to work under the protection of the emperor. Now that Zhang Juzheng returns to the court, it is conducive to The construction and improvement of the Ming Dynasty system.
In the original history, Zhang Siwei, as the chief minister of the cabinet, spent two years to remove all these people before he began to liquidate Zhang Juzheng’s posthumous name. In the twelfth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng More than a dozen members of the family starved to death, and Zhang Juzheng's eldest son committed suicide.
Indeed, Emperor Wanli could liquidate Zhang Juzheng, but Spring and Autumn Period still had judgment.
Zhu Yijun said again: "Sir, please be the president of the selection of official examinations."
"Your Majesty is wise." Wan Shihe began to take the lead in singing praises again. His Majesty also agreed to the selection of official examinations, and Zhang Juzheng returned to the court. After that, the civil servants were asked to choose the topic together. There was no other problem with His Majesty's topic except that it was too difficult.
"Sir, come with me and withdraw from the court." Zhu Yijun stood up and announced that the court meeting was over.
Today, all the officials from the capital were called to the Huangji Hall. Nearly a thousand officials from the capital were basking in the sun in front of the Huangji Hall, just to welcome Zhang Juzheng back to the court and nothing else.
Zhu Yijun brought Zhang Juzheng to the side hall of Wenhua Palace. With a smile on his face, Feng Bao brought a box and said with great interest: "The Taiyue box that Mr. made originally has been made for dozens of times in total. There are thousands of them all over the country, and after long-term practice, they have been improved many times."
"Isn't it called a grain box?" Zhang Juzheng was stunned. This box was indeed made by him. Yes, but why is it named after him?
Zhu Yijun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Everyone calls you that."
Everyone calls You Shouli You Qi, and then You Qi is called You Qi. The name is probably like this, and many people call you You Qi. , everyone agrees.
The grain tank has a few more edges and corners, which can be stuck on to make the grain tank more stable. The upper part of the grain tank has an additional iron handle to facilitate transportation, and there is an additional wooden board inside. The rice beams are more differentiated, reducing accumulation in corners, and there are two peach wood sticks in the middle of this wooden board to prevent insects. There is also a supporting base specially used for shaking, which can scatter the grain and make it more compact.
These improvements to the grain tank make the grain tank more useful.
Zhu Yijun enthusiastically introduced the improvement of grain tanks. There was only one improvement that Zhu Yijun personally improved, and the rest were continuously added in practice. On the other hand, oil tanks, dry cargo tanks, liquid tanks under various standard units The trunk and the fur trunk were all invented.
One of the weirdest is a fruit box with ice, specially for fruit.
The concubine riding the red dust smiles, no one knows it is lychee.
When Yang Yuhuan wanted to eat lychees, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent a postman on a stage horse to bring back lychees from the south. Now this fruit box with ice is a good way to preserve fruits. Zhu Yijun has already eaten various seasonal fruits in Nanya.
This is an extremely profitable business, and those who can afford to eat seasonal fruits these days are from wealthy and powerful families.
Zhu Yijun never does loss-making business.
Zhu Yijun asked Feng Bao to bring up several models, pointed to the largest model, and said to Zhang Juzheng: "This is the five-masted transoceanic ship type C battleship model sent by Songjiang Shipyard. Built according to the ratio of one to two hundred."
The third improved five-masted ocean crossing ship, a model that is almost as big as Zhu Yijun, is the latest design.
The entire model has become more exquisitely crafted. They are all made of the same proportions and the same material. Even the various gun emplacements are clearly visible. All sailboats and stern rudders are clearly visible. Compared with the first generation, The size of this ocean-going ship is much smaller, the body is more slender, the speed is higher, the flexibility is stronger, and seven more naval guns are added, giving it even better firepower.
The new Type C ocean crossing ship completely abandoned the boarding battle and used all artillery and gunfire. This transformation was extremely radical, because the task of boarding battle was given to In the battleship, the division of labor is more clear and reasonable.
Zhang Juzheng has been discussing various ship types with the emperor, such as landing ships, which are specially used for landing operations. This kind of ship has no mast and can accommodate twelve people. It only has pedals inside, connected to a propeller drive, and the front is inlaid with steel plates. For protection, once ashore, it can be used as a bunker to prevent enemy firecrackers, artillery and arrows from attacking.
There is also a larger passenger ship, which is specially used to carry people. One ship can accommodate 1,200 people, but this thing does not have any firepower at all.
Of course, there are also all kinds of weird ship designs, which were finally rejected by the Maritime School. A ship type with a total of three sections towed at sea was rejected in practice. Practice has proved that this kind of ship cannot withstand the waves at all. , even if it is used on inland rivers, it is useless. There are too many corners of this thing that are uncontrollable.
"Kaihai, we have invested a total of 27.07 million taels this year. I just hope to see some results next year." Zhu Yijun put down all the models and talked about his investment with Zhang Juzheng, and he spoke eloquently. Continuously.
Zhang Juzheng knew all this very well. His Majesty once decreed that the memorials sent to Wenyuan Pavilion should also be copied to the Yicheng Prefecture. Zhang Juzheng was not ignorant of state affairs, but His Majesty was willing to speak, and so was Zhang Juzheng. listen.
At this time, His Majesty is not the Ming Emperor who is calm and powerful, but is just a successful student. He is talking about his achievements with enthusiasm. Of course, Zhang Juzheng wants to give him affirmation. And these are worthy of recognition. All of His Majesty's energy and enthusiasm have been used in state affairs.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, when the Yashan Sea Battle was defeated, Lu Xiufu said behind the back of Song Emperor Shao Di: The building will collapse and there is no way to save it. I am going to die for my country by drowning myself in the sea. Is Your Majesty willing to go with me and call me by my full name?
Song Emperor Shaodi replied: One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians went to the national disaster together, and the country was about to perish. Even though I am small, I don’t want to live in this world!
Lu Xiufu carried Song Emperor to the sea. At that moment, he probably decided that he would rather die than be a slave to the subjugation of his country.
Zhang Juzheng overthrew Gao Gong during the political struggle. When he was in power, the country was in disarray, with Japanese captives from the south and the north. The country suffered great financial losses. When the young master was in doubt, and the young emperor of Song was carrying What's different about Lu Xiufu?
But now that His Majesty has finally grown up, Zhang Juzheng can only be happy.
"Sir?" Zhu Yijun saw that Zhang Juzheng was a little distracted and asked, waving his hand.
Zhang Juzheng quickly came to his senses, bowed his head and said, "I'm here."
"The matter of selecting the official examination will be left to Mr. Feng Daban, who said that internal officials are also Taking the exam is a standard for serving in the palace, what do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun talked about dispatches, and regarding the official selection exam, the inner study also had to participate.
"Is it just the standard for internal officials to serve?" Zhang Juzheng asked very vigilantly.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "Of course."
"Nothing is impossible." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty all had a bit of contempt for eunuchs. This contradiction between the inner and outer courts has been around for a long time. The bite is severe, so it is not impossible to fight, but if the eunuch wants to take advantage of the official examination to become an official in the outer court, it is absolutely impossible.
The most powerful official in the Ming Dynasty was Wang Zhi who fought in Liaodong. Even though Emperor Xianzong trusted him very much, Wang Zhi never served in the outer court. This is the bottom line. Collusion between internal and external parties to seize power will be a problem. Big questions of right and wrong that tip the balance.
Wei Zhongxian, who is nine thousand years old, is far inferior to Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi mounted his horse to supervise the army in Liaodong, completed the Plow Court of Chenghua, defeated the Oara invaders in Xuanfu and Datong, led the army as an eunuch to win the great victory at Heishiya, and dismounted to supervise the Xichang and became the emperor of Xianzong. The emperor went ahead to organize the prison and clean up the court.
Wei Zhongxian, who is nine thousand years old, can neither mount his horse to fight, nor can he dismount his horse and lead the way for Emperor Tianqi to clean up the court.
In the second year of Tianqi, when the Ming Dynasty lost Liaoyang, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, stationed 130,000 troops outside Guangning City despite the opposition of the generals. As a result, he was destroyed by the old slave chief Nurhaci with a charge.
After the defeat of Guangning, Wei Zhongxian beheaded Xiong Tingbi who was in Shanhaiguan, but spared Wang Huazhen, just because Wang Huazhen was a disciple of Ye Xianggao, the leader of the Donglin Party at the time, and Wei Zhongxian had never punished Emperor Tianqi Court.
Wei Zhongxian is nine thousand years old, Liu Jin is the established emperor, but Wang Zhi is just Wang Zhi, the director of the West Factory.
Zhu Yijun stayed with Zhang Juzheng for lunch in the palace. In the eyes of the courtiers, it was a positive signal of harmony between the monarch and his ministers. In fact, Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng had been discussing the model for too long, which resulted in After delaying the time to leave the palace, when it was time for dinner, they simply ate together. As the head of the inner dining room, Zhang Hong was naturally extremely well prepared.
When Zhang Juzheng left, he obtained fourteen ship models, all of which were sent to the inner court by Songjiang Shipyard. Among them, there were only two models of Type C ocean-going ships in the world.
Zhu Yijun, the king of Lu, could not touch these model figures, but Zhang Juzheng obtained fourteen ship models in one go.
After Zhang Juzheng returned to the Quanchu Guild Hall, he began to be busy. There were many courtiers who came to congratulate him, and the congratulatory gifts were piled up throughout the Quanchu Guild Hall. However, two people in the Jingtang did not come, one was Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang is a general, and he was once Zhang Juzheng's disciple. If he can have less contact, he will have less contact. The other one is Gao Qiyu, because Gao Qiyu also knows that his coming is in vain, and Zhang Juzheng will not see him.
And Wan Shihe also published His Majesty the Emperor's difficult Spring Examination questions in newspapers, letting the Confucian scholars all over the world know clearly why Zhang Juzheng returned to the court. Fart less and practice more. The question is the right way.
The students in Beijing who were preparing to take the examination were all dumbfounded! Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng has returned to the court. If Zhang Juzheng had not come back, they would not be able to become officials even if they passed the Jinshi examination!
The weather in July was still very hot, and Zhang Juzheng, as president, began his first official selection examination. The Confucian scholars saw Zhang Juzheng's extraordinarily respectful attitude, the kind of reverence that came from the heart. When he left after the examination, they all treated him with the courtesy of a disciple. .
Although this set of test questions given by Zhang Juzheng as president is relatively difficult, it seems extremely simple when compared with His Majesty's set.
What made Zhang Juzheng even more annoyed was that a dozen students saw the eunuchs in the inner study making reference together, and immediately said that they would not be in the same room with the eunuchs. Zhang Juzheng sent someone to tell him: Just take the exam, or take the exam if you don’t. Just go home.
When the exam was over and the results were announced, the Confucian scholars felt like they had been slapped twice in the face, both front and back, and their faces hurt!
In mathematics, there was only one eunuch with a minimum score of eighty-nine points in the inner study. There were a total of 127 eunuchs who took the inner study examination, and 27 of them had perfect scores, while those around the emperor Ten sparring partners, all with perfect scores.
The Xiaohuangmen who work as sparring partners for the emperor are all carefully selected smart people, and all of them are the kings among kings.
As for reference, there are a total of 10,300 Confucian scholars. All the supervisors of the Imperial College and the Shujishi, Hanlin, Jinshi, etc. of the Hanlin Academy only have 127 full marks. If the Mingli Hall of the Imperial Academy is removed , there are only fifty-seven people. In terms of absolute numbers, the Confucian scholars seem to have won, but in terms of proportion, the Confucian scholars have lost face to Taixi!
Because Taixi’s special envoy Legas took his wife and children to see the results outside Donghua Gate. After all, Legas held Felipe II’s seal and was a minister of Felipe II. It is Legaz’s job to report what he has learned.
At this time, the direct allies were shocked!
Wei Zhongxian protected Wang Huazhen after the Battle of Guangning. As the leader of the Eunuch Party, he protected the disciples of the leader of the Donglin Party. This meant that Emperor Apocalypse had completely lost control of the court, so Emperor Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian. , Wei Zhongxian’s death was not unjust at all. But in the early days of Emperor Chongzhen's pursuit of justice and prosperity, he failed to see clearly the faces of cheap Confucians. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! !
