Chapter 19 The Big Bad (1)
After Zhang Juzheng sat down, Zhu Yijun took the lead in the conversation, just to let Mr. Zhang relax, and our meeting was just like a family affair. Because the platform has not done a meeting for many years, we made it more grand this time. From now on, Yuan Fu and I will be here at any time
When we meet, I want to put the kangs in the hot pavilions next to Wuying Hall so that we can chat there at any time in the future. We can also go for a walk together in the Xiyuan Garden in the summer. It’s not impossible.
Zhang Juzheng's attitude towards Zhu Yijun is completely different now from that of a month ago. When Wan Li was giving a lecture one day last year, because Wan Li mispronounced a word, Zhang Juzheng shouted and frightened him. The ministers around him were so frightened that they almost changed their faces.
Kneel down.
Starting from this menstrual feast, Zhu Yijun used methods such as showing precocious wisdom, expelling Feng Bao, granting favors to Zhang Juzheng, and beating Zhang Juzheng's corrective edicts, etc., to show him the image of a relatively mature young monarch with considerable political literacy.
Although Zhu Yijun's performance was somewhat shocking, in the Ming Dynasty, which believed in prodigies and had prodigies, Zhang Juzheng quickly adjusted his mentality and temporarily viewed Zhu Yijun from the perspective of a Mingjun.
Of course, since Zhu Yijun had already taken care of Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao, he could not refuse Zhu Yijun's participation in major political affairs. This call was actually equivalent to a collision between the top leader and the executive on the two sides' policy agenda and the division of power.
The day before yesterday, Zhu Yijun presented the words "You make a boat". It was not as simple as the emperor's favor to the minister. Empress Dowager Li thought she understood the second meaning of Zhu Yijun. In fact, there was a third level that she did not understand. Zhu Yijun used these four words.
He has expressed his attitude to Zhang Juzheng and set the tone for today's theme of the call, and Zhang Juzheng knows this very well.
Under Zhu Yijun's deliberate efforts, Zhang Juzheng gradually relaxed. Zhu Yijun then got into the topic and said: "Mr. Zhang, the platform has been debating for some time. Although I am young, I still have the spirit of excitement. I want to restore Wenjing and Zhenguan.
During the prosperous times such as Kaiyuan and Renxuan of this dynasty, there must be someone who can teach me."
Zhang Juzheng knew very well that the critical moment had arrived, and he had made some preparations these days for this call.
Touching his beard, his handsome face was as smooth as ever, and his anger was sinking in his Dantian. Zhang Juzheng said loudly and unscripted:
"Since the Lord practiced Zuo, he has been eager to learn, diligent in government, and respectful to Heaven and Patriarch..." Zhu Yijun interrupted: "Today, you and I, there is no need for formalities." Zhang Juzheng couldn't take a breath and coughed violently several times. Zhu Yijun
He quickly handed me a cup of tea.
Zhang Juzheng's thoughts on a good article were interrupted by Zhu Yijun, and his momentum weakened by three points. While he was sorting out his thoughts, he saw a faint smile on Zhu Yijun's face, and knew that he had done it intentionally. It seemed that he would not come up with something today.
Dry goods are no longer available.
His heart skipped a beat, and the handsome old man said: "Yes, Your Majesty. I thought that the Ming Dynasty has been a country for more than two hundred years! After going through all the dynasties, my country, the Ming Dynasty, Zuo Changjiu, is also at the forefront. But -"
His momentum condensed, and he played again loudly: "However, nowadays, the government is corrupt and has many shortcomings; the finances are tight and stretched; there are many external dangers and internal dangers. Although the late emperor had the intention to cheer up, he failed in the middle way before he could show his ambition.
This heaven has entrusted the Lord with a great responsibility!"
In an imperial society, ministers would never talk to the monarch about the state of Zuo. The ministers would talk to each other, mostly in secret rooms, and would never dare to announce it to the public or show it in writing. Today, Zhang Juzheng was aroused by Zhu Yijun, and he had some rare impulses.
Directly hinting to Zhu Yijun that if the Ming Dynasty continues like this, it will not be a few days!
Zhu Yijun looked serious when he heard the words and said: "What the master said is true. Or you can say bluntly: 'Today's general situation is in the state of collapse!'" Zhang Juzheng heard sweat on his forehead and glanced at the living room next to him.
Zhuguan, his momentum has dropped again.
Zhu Yijun asked calmly: "What should we do now?"
Zhang Juzheng replied: "In the second year of Longqing's reign, I presented the "Chen Liu Shi Shu", and the late emperor commented, "I understand," but the emperor may not have paid attention to it——"
Zhang Juzheng never expected that Zhu Yijun would reply loudly: "But 'provincial discussion, uphold discipline and outline, emphasize edicts, verify names and facts, consolidate the foundation of the country, and prepare six military orders'? I have read it dozens of times, and I have done it for you."
Hit the knot!”
Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth wide when he heard this, his meticulous beard trembled slightly, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." A kind of scholar-bureaucrat's long-lost feeling of knowing someone.
It was blocked in my chest and I was speechless for a moment.
When Zhang Juzheng was twenty-five years old, as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, he presented "On Current Affairs" to Emperor Jiajing, which reflected his deep understanding of the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty and his determination to reform, as well as "Chen Liu Shi Shu"
The successive reflections can be used as the general program of the "Wanli New Deal" in the old time and space.
Regrettably, Emperor Jiajing did not take this young boy seriously at all, and even after submitting the memorial, there was no reply. Zhang Juzheng remained silent in government affairs for many years. At the age of twenty-three, he passed the imperial examination and became a commoner.
, he wrote this memorial in seven years when he was thirty years old, which shows his character and patience.
When Zhang Juzheng was in the 33rd year of Jiajing (when he was 30 years old), he saw that his teacher Xu Jie, despite possessing considerable political capital, still retreated and tolerated Yan Song, and his ambition was difficult to achieve. He wrote angrily: "I am determined to
"I feel empty and quiet, I can't get what I want, even though I live in this world, I am as free as clouds and smoke." He ran back to his hometown Jiangling to study for six years - how many six years are there in life? This incident fully proves the resolute side of Zhang Juzheng's character.
Under the guidance of Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng rose quickly in the later years of Jiajing and the Longqing Dynasty, but his political ideas were not used by those in power. Emperor Longqing commented "I know" in "Chen Liu Shi Shu" and put it on the shelf. At that time,
You can imagine the anger in the heart of the handsome young man who has become a bachelor of Dongge University.
Although he prided himself on being an "upright and great man", he also voiced his distressed voice that "people may not know it, and even if they know it, they may not use it."
Unexpectedly, on this day in the first year of Wanli, on such an important occasion as the platform summons, I would actually get the appreciation of a close friend from a young monarch, the emotional compensation of "a good relationship between fish and water", and the "long and cloud follower".
Feelings surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but leave the table, kowtow to the ground, and suddenly burst into tears!
Zhu Yijun hurriedly left the table to help him, and said warmly: "Old sir, these extraordinary times require extraordinary people. It is the time for those who 'break the rules' to work hard and make a difference. Sir, do you dare to do your duty?!"
Zhang Juzheng calmed down, stood up, and echoed loudly: "My lord, why don't you dare!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" There was a burst of crying next to him. When Zhu Yijun looked back, he was actually the living annotator of the Hanlin Academy History Museum. He was wiping away his tears while writing furiously. He couldn't laugh or cry, and asked: "You
Why do you do this?"
The official put down his writing brush, knelt down and recited: "I saw that the emperor and Yuan Fu, the emperor and his ministers, were in harmony and rejoicing together. There is hope for the revival of our dynasty. I couldn't suppress my excitement and couldn't help but burst into tears. Let me congratulate your majesty! For Yuan.
Congratulations! Congratulations to all the people in the world!"
The corner of Zhu Yijun's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself what the hell is "fish and water enjoying each other". Do people in ancient times speak so well at driving? Nai Wenyan asked: "What's your name?"
The official replied: "My surname is Xiao, and my name is Longwei. Before you lose your temper, please forgive me!"
