Wanli Xinming

Chapter 21 The Big Bad

Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he heard Zhu Yijun's remarks that his "Chen Liu Shi Shu" did not touch on the great evils of the world.Busy and decent manners, put your hands down and listen.

Zhu Yijun asked first, "In your opinion, if the six principles are implemented together, what will the world be like in ten years?"

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng pondered for a while, and then said, "Maybe you can see the world of Renxuan."

Zhu Yijun asked again, "What will happen to me a hundred years later?"

Zhang Juzheng saw Zhu Yijun talking so in-depth, glanced at the official of the daily life, and hesitated.

Zhu Yijun understood, turned his head to the living officer named Xiao Longwei and said, "Remember, the subsequent deletions and additions are all up to Master Zhang." The officer responded.

Ever since there were historians such as Left and Right History and Living Notes, the power to revise or deny these daily notes rests with the emperor. If others delete a word without asking for a decree, that is a violation of the decree of "doing daily life notes without authorization". It is also hanging, usually beheading, malicious vilification of the emperor, and possibly the three tribes.

Zhu Yijun authorized Zhang Juzheng to make deletions, which meant letting him speak freely.

When Zhang Juzheng saw the emperor like this, he knew that this problem could not be avoided.He is also a small master-level figure in both history and Confucianism. How can he not understand the meaning of the emperor.After pondering for a while, Fang replied: "I am nearly half a hundred years old, and I am familiar with the political pros and cons of the past dynasties, but I have not been able to get a single method to spread Hongye's endless achievements." Although he did not answer directly, he also euphemistically expressed his thoughts on the future. prediction.

Zhu Yijun listened, nodded and asked again, "What does Master Zhang think of the difference between a country and a family?"

At this time, the concept of nationalism has not fully developed in the world.About 60 years ago, the Italian Machiavelli wrote The Prince, and the concept of nationalism put forward in it was not widely spread.The concept of "I am the country" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in all European countries, as in the Ming Dynasty. The monarch is the parents of the people of the country, and the people are the children of the monarch.

The ruler loves the people as a parent loves a child; the people respect the ruler as a child filial to their parents.Therefore, all dynasties in China used "filial piety" to govern the world, and this is the root cause.

Sure enough, Zhang Juzheng listened, and immediately replied: "The family, the country, the society, and the grain are all one, so why is there any difference?"

Zhu Yijun listened, but did not argue with Zhang Juzheng, but nodded lightly.He asked again, "What about the difference between Huayi and Yi?"

There is a standard answer to this question. Although Zhang Juzheng did not understand the meaning of Zhu Yijun's hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, he replied in a loud voice: "The Master said: "The ruler of the Yidi is not as good as the death of the Xia.In this dynasty, Duke Liu Wencheng (press: Liu Bowen) said, 'Fuhua and barbarians are strong in defense, one king is Dafa, and Hu dominates China, and several changes are made to barbarians. '"

Zhang Juzheng's meaning is very clear, barbarians and Chinese are not the same, they are beasts, we are human.

Zhu Yijun heard the words and said, "What if he learns Chinese etiquette, uses Chinese characters, and becomes vulgar?"

Master Zhang Juzheng heard the words and chuckled lightly: "Your Majesty, the sage Jixi, didn't you hear Mencius say: 'I have heard of those who used Xia to change the barbarians, but I have never heard of those who changed from the barbarians.' The people of Chu were once barbarians."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "In front of the master today, I will outline the disciple's ambitions. Will the old gentleman listen?"

Zhang Juzheng had a hunch in his heart after hearing Zhu Yijun's three questions.At this time, he quickly stood up and said solemnly, "I would like to hear it."

Zhu Yijun said loudly: "I want the Kyushu to be unified, and all the winds of China are bathed in the wind of China; whatever the sun and the moon shine on, it is the land of the emperor!"

Zhang Juzheng said that sure enough, he smiled bitterly to himself.There was a look of excitement on his face, and he knelt down and replied: "The emperor wants to work hard, and the world is powerful, and the minister is very excited and joyful!"

Zhu Yijun called out and asked him to return to his seat.He smiled and said, "Master has lied to me. I just said that the world is 'in the state of falling apart', but to set such an ambition, isn't it inconsistent?"

Zhang Juzheng was speechless. He really couldn't figure out the medicine in Zhu Yijun's gourd.After thinking about it, I thought to myself: This emperor is still young. When we were young, didn't we want to create peace in the world? It's not surprising.

Hearing Zhu Yijun say again: "Master must think that I am lying, in fact, there is still a way to achieve this ambition, but we have to do it step by step. First of all, in ten years, we will eliminate the great evils of the world!"

When Zhang Juzheng heard the words, he knew that the main topic was coming, and when he saw Zhu Yijun raised his hand, he pointed the wrench and said, "What's the big disadvantage? Let's try to say it for the master - one is that the people's wisdom is not open, the book is full of books, and the empty talk is four books and eight parts, and the political and practical talents are not open. The second is the sluggish industry and commerce, corruption and stench all over the land, and the central government of taxation and silver is not allowed. Hungry and discouraged, the generals, Wen Tian and Wu play, but have no fighting strength;

"The fifth is that the water conservancy and rivers in the south are not repaired, and the indiscriminate cutting and deforestation in the north has caused frequent disasters, and people have moved to and fro. The edict does not work, the ministers and workers talk about the country; The whole world is dedicated to one person and the people are still exhausted.'”

"What do the masters hear about the ten major drawbacks I said?"

In one breath, he said the ten major malpractices, and Zhu Yijun put a big stone in his heart first, and drank a sip of tea with a few faces on his face.

Zhang Juzheng listened with a solemn expression, and despite the cold wind, he was still sweating profusely.What Zhu Yijun said about the times and disadvantages far exceeded what he said in his "Chen Liu Shi Shu", including talents, industry and commerce, imperial clan, factory guards, etc., how could Zhang Juzheng not know it?But afraid of difficulties, afraid of the ancestors' magic ears!
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then echoed back: "The emperor's time to burn candles, the minister is far behind, as the emperor said, the world is in danger, and we can only work hard!"

Zhu Yijun sorted out his mood, let out a laugh, and said in a bad tone: "What a good one, only struggling! Let me ask the master, where is the struggle?!"

Zhang Juzheng's heart was beating wildly, he looked up at Zhu Yijun, saw that his small face was full of resoluteness and determination, and asked tremblingly, "According to the emperor's opinion, how should we deal with it?"

"At this time, there is only reform!"

Just like Jiao Lei hit his ear, Zhang Juzheng changed color tragically, and plopped down from the seat and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty!"

The daily note officer who was recording on the side was stunned by Tong Ting and had already stopped writing.He peeked at the emperor from the side, and saw that Zhu Yijun's face was a little surprised, but also a little relieved. At a young age, his expression was interesting.

Hearing him weakly whispered: "Why did the master forget it again? You don't have to kneel today, just get up and talk."

Zhang Juzheng leaned over and wept and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to speak for the Emperor with all my heart and guts - this minister will not abandon the previous emperor, entrusted with the great government, and wants to promote the six things that he has said, although he does not want to change the law, he will change the law! , The determination to shatter the body and the bones, and the things behind him, do nothing." After speaking, his throat choked and he was speechless.

When Zhu Yijun heard this, his heart trembled.He had studied before, and always believed that Zhang Juzheng was counterattacked after his death because he was stubborn, oppressed Wanli too hard, and suppressed the imperial power.Unexpectedly, at this moment, when I heard Zhang Juzheng's voice, I had already expected what happened behind him!

Thinking about it now, Zhang Juzheng was indulging in sensuality and extravagance after the reform began. He may not have the intention of "I will not be able to control the flood after my death." Not guaranteed?
Seeing Zhang Juzheng revealing his true feelings, Zhu Yijun's eyes turned red, and he helped Zhang Juzheng and said, "If we all have the same heart, why can't we do it?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "If the emperor is like Song Shenzong's theory of reforming the law, the ministers would expect that within two years, the Ming Dynasty will be full of beacon smoke!"

　Lao Mo calculated it, and his own way of writing was time-consuming. About 4 words can be written in 2000 hours.The average is a little over 500 words per hour.Because Lao Mo is a part-time codeword, it is really tiring to persist until now, and the goal of two updates every day is difficult to achieve.Of course, eunuchs cannot be eunuchs, but in order not to reduce the quality, they can only reduce the quantity. ——Because I have signed a contract, I have to save some manuscripts for future outbreaks and shelves.So I can only explain to everyone that it will be updated every day in the future.

　　Lao Mo saw that some book friends suggested that the manuscript be published at a fixed time, but I don't know when it is appropriate to publish it?Lao Mo usually starts writing after dinner at night, and writes until around 23:23. The publication time is set at [-]:[-] in the evening. How about it?
　　Finally, I would like to say something that Lao Mo is very happy about. Today, several book friends pointed out the fallacies in Lao Mo's writing, such as the Ming Dynasty excerpts should be called title books, memorial chapters, etc. .To be honest, Lao Mo is very happy and sincerely thank you!It took an hour today to change all these things that affect the reading experience as much as possible, but when I changed it, it seemed to mess up everyone's messages again. I can only thank you and apologize.
