"Third brother, judging from Mr. Zhang's reaction, I'm afraid the ban on martial arts performances will not happen!" A few days later, when Wang Bing, the chamberlain, entered the palace, the little fat man sighed with a frustrated look.

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Zhang directly rejected His Majesty's proposal?" Seeing the frustrated look on the little fat man's face, Wang Bing couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

There is no way, with the power of Zhang Juzheng, the first chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, if he really disagrees, neither he nor the little fat man can do anything at all.

"Mr. Zhang didn't directly deny it, he just asked me to read more about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!" When talking about this emperor, the little fat man couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This is not obvious. Although the records of this great emperor are also praised in history books, in general, the majority of records say that he was militaristic. And what is even more terrible is that this precedent prohibits the practice of martial arts.

But it was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who started it!

"So your Majesty thinks that Mr. Zhang is against His Majesty's ban on martial arts?" Wang Bing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhang Juzheng did not directly object.

"Don't you think so, third brother?" Seeing Wang Bing heaving a sigh of relief, the little fat man couldn't help but wonder.

"Master Zhang has learned from the past and the present. If he really opposes His Majesty's ban on martial arts, then why doesn't he let His Majesty watch Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty? Isn't that more in line with the typical example of militarism?" Under the doubtful look in the little fat man's eyes, Wang Bing couldn't help but chuckle.

road.

"Uh, this..."

"Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did go to war, they were all in his later years. In his early years, whether he was opening up the Western Regions or expelling the Huns, they were extremely wise decisions. So I guess Lord Zhang wanted your Majesty to learn from it.

The lesson from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is that you cannot blindly abuse your military power, but you must know how to exercise restraint!"

In order not to undermine the little fat man's confidence, Wang Bing did not mention another possibility. That is, if Zhang Juzheng used Emperor Sui Yang as an example to persuade him, some people might say that he was suspected of cursing the emperor.

"So, Mr. Zhang doesn't object to my ban on martial arts?" Sure enough, after hearing Wang Bing's positive analysis, the little fat man suddenly turned from worry to joy.

…

"In the ancients, justice was based on benevolence and governance based on righteousness. Righteousness is power if it is not obtained by intention. Power comes from war, not from people... Therefore, even if the country is big, it will perish if it is warlike. Although the subordinates are peaceful, they forget to fight.

There will be danger. Now that the world is at peace, the world is under great pressure. In the spring, we will search for enemies in autumn. In the spring, the princes will revitalize their brigade, and in the autumn, they will organize their armies. Therefore, we should not forget to fight..."

What Wang Bing and the little fat man didn't expect was that just after Wang Bing finished cheering up the little fat man, Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister, put aside his cabinet affairs and came to give the little fat man a class in person. And it was "Sima".

"Faren's Chapter", which made Wang Bing also doubt his previous analysis.

"Your Majesty, that's the end of today's class. I would like to ask Your Majesty to study it carefully. I will take my leave now!" To the little fat man's surprise again, after finishing the lecture on "Sima Faren's Original Chapter", Zhang Juzheng did not

Just like before, I explained it to him again, but let him study it on his own.

"Sir, go slowly! Mr. Wang, please help me see you off, sir!" As he spoke, the little fat man secretly winked at Wang Bing.

"Wei Chen obeys your orders!"

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng did not stop him, Wang Bing followed Zhang Juzheng step by step to the outside of Qianqing Palace.

However, after leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Juzheng didn't say a word and just walked forward minding his own business. Facing the eunuchs and maids who passed by from time to time, Wang Bing couldn't find it easy to ask questions for a while.

Just like that, without knowing it, Wang Bing followed Zhang Juzheng to Wenyuan Pavilion again.

"Wang Shidu, I'm already here, there's no need to send it off again!"

"Uh, student...student has some questions that he would like to ask Mr. Chief Assistant, but I don't know..."

"Oh? I wonder if Uncle Guo has any questions?" As he spoke, Zhang Juzheng kept walking and entered Wenyuan Pavilion again, while Wang Bing followed him in shamelessly.

"The Chief Assistant is really diligent in government affairs. All the ministers have already posted their duties, but I didn't expect that the Chief Assistant is..." Looking at the empty room, Wang Bing then clumsily took a picture of Zhang Juzheng's horse. fart.

"If you don't know how to flatter me, don't follow others. I'm on duty in the cabinet today, so you'll naturally have to leave later! You've been with me. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Ah? Well, student..." When Zhang Juzheng asked him so straightforwardly, Wang Bing was a little confused for a moment.

"It's because of His Majesty's ban on martial arts performances!" Looking at Wang Bing's embarrassed look, Zhang Juzheng spoke up for Wang Bing.

"Report to your lord, student, this is why students are here." Seeing Zhang Juzheng speak out for him, Wang Bing stopped being coy and admitted it generously.

"Then what do you think about this matter?" Zhang Juzheng did not give the answer Wang Bing wanted to hear, but asked him what he thought about the ban on martial arts.

"The students naturally agree, because this suggestion was made by the students to His Majesty." Although Zhang Juzheng also suspected that the matter was related to Wang Bing, he did not expect that Wang Bing would directly admit it himself.

"Why?"

Although there were only two simple words, Wang Bing felt a great pressure when Zhang Juzheng's deep eyes glared at him.

"For the sake of Mr. Zhang's implementation of the new policy reforms, they will not be abandoned halfway, and also for the sake of the bloody spirit of my son, the Han family, will not die out!"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Bing met Zhang Juzheng's gaze and looked over calmly.

"What's the explanation?"

What came out of Zhang Juzheng's mouth was still only two very simple words.

"Master Zhang thinks your majesty is Duke Xiao of Qin or King Huiwen? Or does Master Zhang hope that your majesty is Duke Xiao of Qin or King Huiwen?" This time, Wang Bing did not answer Zhang Juzheng directly, but asked the other party in response to the pressure.

"How to say?"

This time, Zhang Juzheng finally said one more word.

"If Mr. Zhang supports His Majesty's ban on martial arts, then Your Majesty will be Duke Xiao of Qin. On the contrary, His Majesty may be King Huiwen, even one step further than King Huiwen!" Looking at Zhang Juzheng's deep eyes, Wang Bing had a look on his face. He spoke solemnly.

"Scaremongering! I have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty for decades, how could your Majesty say what you said?" Faced with Wang Bing's hint, Zhang Juzheng was finally no longer as calm as before.

"Shang Jun has also worked hard for the Qin Dynasty for decades. Shang Jun has offended the old gentry and King Huiwen. And Mr. Zhang, you have offended the gentry of the world. If the gentry of the world has a quarrel with His Majesty again..."

"Even if Mr. Zhang can survive alive, what will happen after his death? The New Deal that Mr. Zhang worked so hard to create at that time will disappear with just a gentle push from His Majesty's hand! And when the time comes, such a caring person, Mr. Zhang thinks Will it be less?”
