Chapter 121 Great Omen
Zhang Xianggong was angry when he was angry, and the world changed color.
The next day, the minister Wang Daocheng, and the censor Xie Siqi submitted a memorial to impeach the Minister of Personnel Zhang Han and the old man who could not bear the heavy responsibility.
Soon the emperor issued an order to order Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel, to retire, and the court was appointed as the Ministry of Personnel, Zhao Jin, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Zhao Jin refused to take over, saying that he and Zhang Han had the same views, and both believed that they should agree to Yuan Fu Ding You to preserve Yuan Fu's reputation for his lifetime.
Wanli was naturally very angry, but he did not let Zhao Jin get out together.
At this time, we can see who is more strong in relationship. Zhao Jin's second son Zhao Shixi was one of the emperor's closest guards.
More importantly, Zhao Hao is also the source of happiness for the emperor, and it is entirely up to his continuous monthly new episodes and the end-of-year New Year films. Only then can Wanli survive the joint ravages of his mother, his teacher and the dead eunuch.
So Wanli only fined Zhao Jin for three months' salary...
But the Minister of Personnel, who "ruled all the officials", was dismissed from office just because he was unwilling to agree to keep the prime minister, which was enough to make a big stir in the court and the country.
However, it seems that the effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkey is also achieved. Please leave Zhang Xianggong's memorial to fly to Tongzhengsi like snowflakes.
However, in the officialdom, especially among young officials, there was a sense of injustice, believing that this was the result of power oppression. However, under the strict defense of the superiors, they could not have had a temporary attack.
~~
The anger of the young officials naturally cannot be conveyed to Dashamao Hutong.
There was a sound of excitement in Zhang Xianggong's study at this time.
"Ma Ziqiang, please stay at Yuanfu!"
"The Grand Sima Wang Chonggu, lead the Ministry of War and please stay in Yuanfu!"
"Da Situ Wang Guoguang, lead the Ministry of Revenue, please stay Yuanfu!"
"Grandman Guo Chaobin, lead the Ministry of Works, please stay at Yuanfu!"
"The Grand Secretary Liu Yingjie, lead the Ministry of Justice, please stay at Yuanfu!"
"The Grand Chief Chen Zan, lead the Censorate and please stay with Yuanfu!"
Li Yihe, Wang Zhuan, Zeng Shengwu and others recited the memorial to keep Zhang Xianggong in an excited tone, sweeping away the haze brought by Zhang Han before.
Zhang Xianggong's face finally became less gloomy and terrible, and he pretended to be a pipe of cigarette with ease.
Zhao Hao quickly ordered his father-in-law, Zhang Juzheng took a breath of pleasure, and said lightly: "It seems that the northerners are reliable."
"Yes, the child is ashamed..." Zhao Hao was so sad that tears were about to fall.
Among the seven ministers, except for Zhang Han who was killed, Qing Yishui was from the north. Wang Chonggu and Wang Guoguang were from Shanxi, Ma Ziqiang was from Shaanxi, Guo Chaobin and Liu Yingjie were from Shandong, and Chen Zan was from Hejian Prefecture, North Zhili.
It is obvious that the Jiangnan Gang was not as developed as the Longqing Dynasty at the level of high-ranking officials. However, there were no Huguang people among the Qiqingqing people. At least the Jiangnan Gang occupied the Ministry of Personnel. Although it was useless, it was impossible to say that Xianggong Zhang suppressed the Jiangnan people.
In fact, Zhang Juzheng was deliberately suppressing the Jiangnan Gang to the top level, otherwise their huge number of people would soon form a numerical advantage in the court's proposal, which was absolutely unacceptable to Zhang Xianggong.
Although everyone is an ally, on the power level, it is useless not to mention the son-in-law or the son. For balance, he also made peace with the Shanxi Gang...
Mr. Zhang has been thinking about it these days and feels that the reason why Zhang Han is rebelling is because the Jiangnan Gang is resentful of his suppression.
The kind father bit his pipe and sat on the Grand Master's chair. The autumn sun shone through the glass window, making the green smoke as silk. Looking at the son-in-law who had lost weight in the past a while, he felt soft and said in his heart: "I hope Zhao Hao can convey his warning to the Jiangnan Gang. If he breaks up at this time, he will give people an opportunity to take advantage of it..."
"My grandpa, madam..." Li Yihe called out several times, and Zhang Juzheng came to his senses.
"Um?"
"Now the emperor has tried to keep him three times, and all the officials have submitted a letter to me and please keep him." Li Yihe hurriedly repeated: "It's time to show off."
"Yes." Zhang Juzheng nodded slowly, opened the drawer, took out a memorial that had been written long ago, and handed it to Li Yihedao: "Look at it."
Li Yihe and others gathered together to read it carefully, and Zhao Hao also came over to read it together. The title was very difficult to read, and it was called "Ask for the temporary obedience of the imperial edict and resignation of salary and pre-authorization to return to the burial memorial."
Looking at the content of the memorial, it is also shameless.
The general idea is that "the ministers in the court came to my house one after another and blamed me for the righteousness of the monarch and ministers. They said that they should not act irresponsible and that the monarch's orders should not be resisted repeatedly. Since they are responsible for the country's importance, they should not only care about their own family affairs."
'I lie on bricks and straw mats for days to reflect, and I am both moved and afraid. I plan to go to the book to beg for home again, but I am afraid that my Majesty will be unhappy again. Moreover, the emperor's wedding is approaching, and the national ceremony is nothing more than this. If I leave, I cannot use my strength with one hand and one foot, how can I feel at ease?'
‘So I dare not ask Ding You again, and obeyed the emperor's orders. After waiting for Qiqi, I did not go to court, but went to the cabinet to do business and lecture with the attendants.’
In addition, Mr. Zhang also proposed five conditions for robbing love:
First, if you don’t receive your salary within twenty-seven months;
Second, all auspicious rituals of sacrifice will not be present;
Third, when you are in the court, please allow your ministers to continue wearing green clothes and no auspicious clothes when doing business in the cabinet;
Fourth, if the title is given by the chapter and the word "guarding the system" is allowed;
Fifth, he still wanted to beg for a leave of absence to bury his father next year, so he welcomed his mother to come to Beijing together.
After reading Zhang Juzheng's memorial, everyone exclaimed that he is worthy of being Yuan Fu, and he is considering the problem carefully!
"My husband's plan to 'resignate his salary and observe the system' takes into account the principles of nature and human nature. Who said that loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time?" Li Yihe smiled and picked up the teapot and took a sip.
In his opinion, the matter of Yuan Fu's love was settled.
Just as the sound of praise was heard, Zhao Hao's voice sounded.
"Father-in-law, according to observations from the Purple Mountain Observatory, a large comet will approach the earth on the fifth day of this month!"
"Ah?" Zhang Juzheng was stunned and asked quickly, "How old is it?"
"Super big, lying across the sky, shocking the world!" Zhao Hao's decisive tone made people without doubting the accuracy of his forecast.
First, science has accurately predicted solar and lunar eclipses several consecutively and accurately, and second, Mr. Zhao can even predict earthquakes.
The optimistic atmosphere just now disappeared, and the atmosphere in the study became depressing...
That is a comet, also called a broom star. Because the timing of appearing in the sky is difficult to predict, it is also regarded as a demon star.
It has been regarded as a great omen since ancient times!
"Gan Shixing Jing" says: "Sweeping stars is caused by the reverse qi."
Dong Zhongshu believed: "Bo is the birth of extremely bad qi." The so-called Bo is a comet, which is a hindrance and unclear appearance.
Liu Xiang believed that Boxing is a kind of chaotic ministers, which is a manifestation of usurping and killing. The monarch and ministers are in chaos in the court and the government orders are in the wrong place, which will lead to the appearance of comets...
Today is the first day of October. If Mr. Zhang handed over this book that agreed to take the love at this time, the comet will come in two days, and it will be a good guy!
If it is the super-large comet that shocked the world, everyone will probably turn against it. Then they accuse Zhang Xianggong of the same voice, he is the rioter of the comet! It is him who violated the laws of nature and human ethics that caused bad luck to the Ming Dynasty!
That scene, I felt chilling...
"So what if there is a big comet?" Wang Zhuan said unwillingly: "The Zuo Zhuan also says, 'There is a comet in the sky to remove and remove,' so the comet also indicates the 'elimination of the old and spread the new'. I think it shows that my husband's reform will be a great success!"
"You are not studying hard enough." Zhang Juzheng slowly shook his head and said, "In "Zuo Zhuan", there are two prophecies made by observing comets. One is to say that the princes dies and the other is to say that the fire is. Especially in the 14th year of Duke Wen, "there is a star in the Beidou". Later, it turns out that the three kings of Song, Qi, and Jin all killed the monarchs. If you dare to use the Zuo Zhuan, the well-educated people in the Hanlin Academy must beat you to death."
"My husband, heaven changes are not worth fear, and people's words are not worth care..." Li Yihe was so anxious that he spoke without hesitation.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Juzheng pointed at him with his pipe and scolded: "Do you want to make the same mistakes as King Wen of Bugu?!"
"Look at my mouth..." Li Yihe was shocked and quickly slapped his mouth hard. Only then did he remember that Mr. Zhang was super superstitious...
Even if he is not superstitious in his heart, he still has to be superstitious now. The divine turtle presented by Mr. Zhang half a year ago is still leisurely in the West Garden!
"Little Ge Lao, aren't you the most repulsive of the induction of heaven and man?" Wang Zhuan narrowed his small eyes and stared at Zhao Hao and said.
"Of course I don't believe that. I talked about the causes of comets in my "Astronomy". " Zhao Hao spread his hands and asked back: "But the question is, don't you believe it either? Don't the people outside believe it either?"
"This..." Everyone couldn't help but speak. Yes, although science has appeared for ten years, most people are still loyal believers in the theory of the induction of heaven and man.
Zhao Hao asked coldly again: "O Lord Wang means, I should hide it and not say it first, and wait until my father-in-law submits his letter?"
"No, absolutely no meaning!" Wang Zhuan quickly waved his hand hard to deny it. In fact, he had a flash of thought and had this idea.
Because as long as Mr. Zhang submits the memorial, it will be difficult to stop the situation and the overall situation has been decided. The status of these important members of the Zhang Party... Oh no, the reform will be completely preserved.
But then, the infamy of Mr. Zhang may have increased ten times or a hundred times...
"Okay!" Zhang Juzheng shouted angrily, stopped their dispute, knocked on the table with his pipe and said, "Get out!"
Zhao Hao, Li Yihe, Wang Zhuan and others quickly ran out in shame.
Zhang Juzheng was panting, watching the sparks splashing out of his pipe land on the satin "Please obey the orders and resign the salary and pre-reserve the system and return to the funeral scriptures", turning into ugly black spots and a burning smell...
But Xianggong Zhang ignored it at all, because this memorial must not be submitted, at least now...
Unless he goes crazy, he will bring disaster to himself at this critical moment.
He was just blindfolded by his desire for power, and was not crazy.
‘God, since you have given the divine turtle Jiarui, why did you descend the big comet?’ Zhang Juzheng fell into a huge reluctance, and for the first time he fell into a state of incompetence and furiousness. He inevitably began to doubt himself.
