Chapter 58: Don't be alarmed, teachers, students are coming!
"Sir Zhang, the state has ordered Jia and Ding to observe the system for twenty-seven months. Although mediocre people and small officials have to hide in mourning, there are laws... but they have not always assisted the ministers of Bi. Even if there are past examples, we can follow them.
Three years are not over, not just one day, and the world after that time will ridicule him..."
Just when the little fat man led the Yulin Guards to Zhang Juzheng's residence, a group of Hanlin officials were surrounding Zhang Juzheng's residence, asking Zhang Juzheng to give up his love and return to his hometown to defend the system.
"Ziwen, are you trying to force me to death? Your Majesty forces me to stay here, and you want to drive me away again. Kill me!" As he spoke, Zhang Juzheng suddenly snatched it from the hands of a soldier who came to maintain order.
A knife came over, and it was placed across his neck!
"Teacher, don't be alarmed, the students are coming!"
Just when Zhang Juzheng was stabbing his neck, and all the Hanlin officials were shocked, along with a thunderous sound of horse hooves, a loud boy's cry suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Juzheng and all the Hanlin officials.
My ears exploded!
"Bold, who...ah!"
As the cavalry approached, several soldiers who came to maintain order were about to start shouting, but then the little fat man whipped one of the soldiers in the face with a riding crop, causing the soldier to scream in pain!
"Are you blind? Can't you see that someone is trying to harm my teacher?" As he spoke, the angry little fat man turned over and dismounted neatly. Accompanied by Wang Bing, he took a riding crop and hurriedly slashed at the neck.
Zhang Juzheng ran away.
"His Majesty!!!"
Seeing the little fat man who appeared like a magic weapon descending from the sky, Zhang Juzheng, the always strong chief minister of the empire, could not help but fall to his knees in tears at this moment!
"I have met His Majesty!"
Seeing Zhang Juzheng, the chief and assistant minister, all knelt down. Officials who had no need to kneel down when meeting drivers except for court meetings had to kneel down one after another. This time, except for Wang Bing and others,
Outside the feather groves on both sides, there was not a single person standing in the audience.
"Teacher, what are you doing? Do you have to risk your own life to defend yourself against such a group of ignorant and indifferent people?" The little fat man dropped his riding crop and quickly reached out to help Zhang Juzheng.
"Your Majesty, just...just let me go back to my hometown to guard the system!" Being forced to this point, Zhang Juzheng became a little discouraged for a while.
"I have said that the New Deal cannot be separated from teachers, I cannot be separated from teachers, and the country and society cannot be separated from teachers! I hope that the teacher will not say anything more about returning home to abide by the rules. Please wait aside for a moment." Firmly.
Shaking his head, the little fat man helped Zhang Juzheng aside with his own hands.
"You guys should get up first. Today I am not here as an emperor, but as your student."
Facing the Hanlin officials kneeling in front of him, the little fat man kept saying that he was here as a student of Zhang Juzheng, but he still spoke of me and the emperor. He simply took his 'rogue' tactics to the extreme.
It turned out that this was the idea Wang Bing had given him before, not as an emperor, but as a student of Zhang Juzheng's to 'persuade' these Hanlin officials.
In this way, although the little fat man claimed that he was a student of Zhang Juzheng, how could these Hanlin officials really forget his identity as an emperor and only treat him as a student of Zhang Juzheng?
"Your Majesty, we just don't want Mr. Zhang to fail in his filial piety. We want Mr. Zhang to set a good example for the officials, the court, and the people of the world. It's not out of personal grudges. Moreover, the country has orders, and Ding You abides by them..." Sure enough, nothing happened.
Wang Bing expected that even though the little fat man declared that he was only here as a student of Zhang Juzheng, how could these Hanlin officials really regard him as a student of Zhang Juzheng.
"You only think about not letting my teachers fail in their filial piety. Then have you thought about the country and the country? Have you thought about my people?" Standing on the steps of Zhang Juzheng's mansion, the little fat man pointed behind the group of Hanlin officials.
On the street, the common people who followed the Yulin Guards asked with cold faces.
"Although you all talk about benevolence, righteousness, morality, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, how many of you have actually done something for my people? Is the imperial court raising you just so that you can talk all day long? My
In order to help me do something for the common people, why is it that the teacher is digging up your ancestral graves, why are you so unwilling to let me go?"
"Don't forget, our old Zhu family was born as a beggar. The most important thing is that the people have food to eat and clothes to wear!" Although he pretended to be Zhang Juzheng's student, the little fat man did not give it to these people at all.
The Hanlin officials had a chance to speak. “Long live the Emperor!!!”
"Long live your Majesty!!!"
…
Before the group of Hanlins could refute, as soon as the little fat man finished speaking, the common people who had followed the Yulin Guards all knelt on the ground in a commotion, shouting "Long Live the Emperor!"
"Third brother, your method is so clever, hehe!" Taking advantage of the noisy shouts of "Long Live the Mountain", the little fat man couldn't help but turn his head and smile evilly at Wang Bing.
"Turn around and ask my people, are they willing to let my teacher leave the country for the sake of his family?" After the shouts in the crowd gradually quieted down, the little fat man once again rushed to the group of Hanlin officials.
He asked loudly.
"I don't want to, I don't want to!"
"Master Zhang is a good official, we cannot let Master Zhang leave!"
"Whoever wants to drive Master Zhang away is a traitor!"
…
As the little fat man asked questions, the crowd that had just calmed down couldn't help but explode again!
In fact, how do these ordinary people know who is loyal and traitorous, who is wise and who is stupid among the high-ranking officials in the court? But the emperor, Little Fatty, said that Zhang Juzheng implemented the New Deal to make the people's lives better, so of course it is correct.
!
After all, in this era, the emperor is the emperor who sticks to his word. Even if these people usually complain about the emperor in their hearts, at this time, they all side with the emperor without hesitation.
"Let me go back and think carefully about how to serve as an official in the future!" Taking advantage of the support of 'public opinion', the little fat man hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and drove back these overfed Hanlin officials. At the same time, he also took advantage of this opportunity.
He comforted Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty who had an 'on-duty system'.
"I hope these people can understand my painstaking efforts and be safe!" After leaving Zhang Juzheng's residence, the little fat man said with a helpless expression.
You know, in order to suppress these Hanlin officials, today he brought out Emperor Taizu's behavior as a beggar.
It's a pity that the so-called people are not as good as God. The opponents who were finally suppressed by relying on the little fat man's "painful drama" and the suppression of "public opinion" resurfaced due to a sudden unexpected incident.
