Is this done by heaven and restrained by man?

Zhu Yijun naturally asked why Zhang Siwei couldn't display his talents knowingly. How could he not know?

Those who bully Zhang Siwei know best where Zhang Siwei feels most aggrieved.

Zhu Yijun even asked openly and honestly, "Siwei, who do you think is to blame for this?"

Is it because of God’s will?

There is only one piece of sky in the Ming Dynasty, and that is me! God’s will, isn’t it the holy will?

So, Zhang Siwei, do you mean to blame me?

This is not resentment. What else is resentment?

The knife and axe-hands are at your service!

Is that human intention?

Your father broke the national law and was sentenced to death.

Zhang Siwei didn't reflect properly and actually blamed others.

With resentment in your heart, you will be served with swords and axes!

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Siwei quietly, waiting for his correct answer.

After a while, Zhang Siwei kowtowed again and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this is both heaven's will and man's will!"

"The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. All people in the world have bumpy roads and many hardships in life, and I am no exception."

"Mencius said that when Heaven entrusts a person with a great responsibility, his will must be tested first. If he wants to fully display his talents, he must be tested by Heaven's heart."

"In summary, this sincerity is called Tianxin."

"As for people's wishes..."

Zhang Siwei sighed, and seemed to show his true feelings when facing the emperor.

He choked and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

"I come from a merchant family. Although I have learned from the saints and feel your Majesty's virtues, I still have a vulgar heart."

"The views of the family are divided, and the separation of the township and the party is established."

"My father's petty heart has inadvertently bewitched me. For my own selfish desires, my father plundered wealth and property, and then he went astray, connected with Tatars, and even violated the law of the country."

"Your Majesty! I am in vain to be a minister and a son of man!"

After saying this, tears flowed down his face and he burst into tears.

A loyal minister and a filial son are blameless.

Even when he kowtowed again, his lowered eyes were still clear, as if he was speaking from the heart!

After Zhang Siwei received the news that his father had been framed and murdered by Tan Lun, he felt unbelievable in the first few days.

In a trance, his thoughts were calm, even like the spring breeze blowing on his face, and he entertained his colleagues with an indifferent expression.

It was not until a few days later that Zhang Siwei finally came back to his senses.

The grief surged suddenly like a bursting embankment. In an instant, tears fell like rain, and the tears were heartbreaking.

It was also during these few days that he became resentful towards the emperor and thought about how to take revenge on Tan Lun. He even harbored a trace of hatred towards his uncle Wang Chonggu.

He cried bitterly at night and acted recklessly during the day.

He firmly opposed everything the emperor wanted and blocked every cabinet proposal.

Connect with colleagues from the six ministries, Kedao, and Yushi, and gather colleagues from various academic societies and township parties.

Zhang Siwei didn't know what he was going to do.

Maybe he was numbing his own grief.

Or, perhaps, it was alleviating the powerlessness over his father's unjust death.

I messed around like this for several days.

Until Shi Maohua and Huo Ji came to his door in person to persuade him tactfully; until Wang Chonggu warned him to think twice; until Yang Bo's letter arrived, saying that he had restrained his father's body and hoped to go home as soon as possible and bury his father in person.

What's more, his uncle, father-in-law, brother-in-law, and friends who are still in Shanxi have written letters to persuade him to go home as soon as possible.

At a certain moment, Zhang Siwei finally came to his senses.

He seemed to have understood something.

Thank you behind closed doors.

Instead of keeping in touch with his disciples and old friends, he instead sat in his house for several days without sleeping or eating, meditating and meditating.

It was also at this time that Zhang Siwei realized a truth - within the emperor's rules, he was helpless.

Township parties will be exploited for their own benefit, and in-laws will be divided and disintegrated by the emperor.

No matter what I want to do now, I can't do anything about it.

Yang Tinghe was entangled in the court, and with the help of the Queen Mother, the former still could not win the ceremonial debate against the young emperor who succeeded the vassal king, and was eventually demoted to a commoner.

Xia Yan was the most dignified chief minister, and Emperor Sejong would kill him whenever he wanted. He did not have the dignity that a great minister should have.

When Gao Gong was at the height of his power, he was sent to Nanzhili as a pawn by the emperor who had just ascended the throne a few days after issuing an edict. Now he is still guarding the Shanghai Shipping Department and has been reduced to a household dog.

If the chief assistant is like this, let alone Zhang Siwei?

Now the emperor was so prejudiced against him that he even framed and killed Zhongliang in order to prevent him from joining the cabinet.

For such a vicious emperor, even if Zhang Siwei connected his disciples and old friends, what could the country party members do about it?

The reason why the emperor was slightly afraid at first was because Xuanda's soldiers were favored by his uncle, and Tuman Khan's third wife also had a sworn relationship with his uncle.

Now that he, the head of the Jin Party, was humiliated, his uncle, who was in charge of military affairs, was indifferent.

The money bag and the weapons were separated, so Zhang Siwei was just at the mercy of the emperor?

Be it the central government or the cabinet, how can you outplay someone else's game?

After thinking about this level.

Zhang Siwei suddenly became enlightened as if the clouds had cleared and the sun appeared.

I immediately made a decision.

The next day, he shaved his face again, put on his clothes, and walked out of Zhang's house.

Zhang Siwei personally visited Wang Chonggu's house.

He sincerely apologized for his previous rudeness and tried his best to mend the rift with Wang Chonggu.

Then he took the initiative to mention the grief of his mother at home, Wang Chonggu's sister, after being widowed, and persuaded Wang Chonggu to write a letter to comfort her.

After Wang Chonggu agreed, Zhang Siwei still strangled his uncle's wrist and sighed, expressing his sorrow. The two families sympathized with each other and shared their sorrow.

Finally, when Zhang Siwei left, he bowed sadly - it is said that an uncle is like a father, but now that his father is dead, from now on, only his uncle can place his feelings on him.

My uncle's voice is so sincere.

When Wang Chonggu saw that his nephew had put aside the estrangement with his family and got back together, he was so relieved that he left Zhang Siwei to rest on his feet that night.

The next day, Zhang Siwei took turns visiting Shi Maohua, Minister of the Ministry of War, Huo Ji, Censor of Youdu, Luo Fengxiang, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and even Wang Jiaping, editor of the Hanlin Academy, and others.

Scatter all the extravagant wealth in Beijing and entrust everyone to expand the Jin Guild Hall to provide accommodation for the sons of the three Jin dynasties to come to Beijing to take the exam next year.

Even in his official memorial, he praised Tan Lun for enforcing the law impartially and asked the emperor not to issue any orders.

Since Zhang Siwei has reached this point, how can he show any resentment?

At this moment, he briefly forgot what he looked like before.

When he entered the palace to meet the saint, he only had the emperor in his heart, and only the country and country of the Ming Dynasty. He, Zhang Siwei, was a loyal minister!

"Zhang Qing said something serious."

Zhu Yijun was a little surprised for a moment when he saw Zhang Siwei showing such loyalty to the country.

It seems that my actions have brought about some changes.

I just don’t know whether Zhang Siwei’s change is a change of heart or a change in his character.

At least in terms of Zhang Siwei's attitude and behavior at this time, it is really impeccable.

Zhu Yijun was amazed in his heart, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Siwei to get up.

He asked Zhang Siwei not to mourn too much. Although his father was gone, he still had his wife, children, and brothers to support. He must take good care of his health. The whole family must pay attention to safety on the way back to Shanxi.

I don’t know if there is any other meaning in it. Anyway, Zhang Siwei was simply ignorant and didn’t hear it.

He just kept thanking me profusely: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My eldest son will continue to study in the capital and will not return to his hometown with me."

"I have entrusted my wife and children to the care of my uncle, so there will be no hindrance."

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he took a deep look at Zhang Siwei.

This move not only maintained the relationship with Wang Chonggu, but also showed his loyalty to the emperor. There were rumors that Zhang Siwei was resentful, but now Zhang Siwei still placed his wife and children at the feet of the emperor, which shows that his mind was pure.
