Wanli Xinming

Chapter 246
Zhu Yijun remembered very clearly that Zhang Juzheng of the original time and space died in June of the tenth year of Wanli.But because Zhang Juzheng of this time and space successfully performed the operation, the biggest crisis threatening his life has been lifted.Seeing that he had not been sick for a long time, Zhu Yijun relaxed his vigilance.

Before going to bed today, Zhu Yijun saw the concubines' shift schedule reported by the Shangyi Bureau, and it was Zheng Mengjing who was on the list tonight.He suddenly thought that sometimes history is not based on what the transmigrators take for granted - the proof that Zheng Mengjing still entered the palace.

Thinking of this, he was horrified, put on his clothes, and went to see Zhang Juzheng's condition.It was no trivial matter for the emperor to leave the palace, but he had already taken power, and he could do it without a few words, and the people around him did not dare to stop him.

When he arrived at Zhang Juzheng's mansion, Zhu Yijun felt a little unhappy when he saw Liu Yingjie and others were there, but immediately suppressed this feeling.Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was in good spirits, while he was relieved, he was still a little worried about Zhang Juzheng's sudden fainting.

Looking at Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting next to him, most of his beard was white. Because of his long desk work, his head was always tilted to the left unconsciously, as if he was aiming.

Although it was midsummer, and Zhang Juzheng was wearing a not-so-thin python robe, there was not a drop of sweat on his face.Zhu Yijun looked at his obviously old-fashioned and bony body, and suddenly wanted to give himself a mouth.

Contrary to Zhang Juzheng, even though there were two basins of ice in the room, Zhu Yijun was still sweating from the heat.He took out a piece of sweat towel from his sleeve and wiped it, and said first: "In these years, I have spent a lot less time sitting and chatting with the old gentlemen like this."

Zhang Juzheng had a slightly stunned expression on his face, as if he did not expect the emperor to say such a thing.He thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is getting more and more prosperous, while your ministers are getting old, and the reform is going to be a big thing. Your Majesty and your ministers are very busy."

Zhu Yijun heard the words and smiled: "The year before the year before Guangxi Yao changed, when the five counties were eroded, I sighed with sorrow. At that time, the old gentleman had a plan, and the way was to turn things around. Sure enough, Wu Shaohua succeeded in less than a year. The gentleman said that his years were dying, but he was too modest."

Zhang Juzheng raised his eyes, as if recalling the scenery of Commander Ruoding that day.He wiped the long beard under his chin, and said with a smile on his face: "Although the Yao people are in danger, they can't stop the imperial court from making guns and artillery over the years, let alone the new army that your majesty has trained."

He paused and said: "However, although the artillery is powerful, it can't smash the reins and locks; the new army is strong, but it can't kill people's ups and downs. Liu Tai's 'remaining watch' sentence sentenced the old ministers to injustice, and the ministers are eager to attack their hearts, and they are still today. It was a joke."

Zhu Yijun said: "This post is not to embarrass the old gentleman, it is for the reform. I have instructed Wang Tong to solve the case as soon as possible. Moreover, the old gentleman passed out in the political affairs hall. I don't think it is a joke. -I want to say hard work to you."

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, his eyes turned red at first, and then his face became more smiling.He cupped his hands and said: "Although I said so, the minister thought that it would be better to investigate it again, to return the innocence of the minister, and to complete the iron case. Moreover, the death of Liu Tai was indeed not the work of the minister, and it should be inseparable from the person who exposed the post. If it can be wiped out in one go, it will be a good thing for the government and public opinion.”

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Yes, I have ordered Jin Yiwei to go all out."

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng coughed softly and said, "Liu Tai was a jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing, and the minister was the chief examiner that year. Although the imperial court has made three orders and five applications for the friendship between teachers and students, it is not allowed to use this to climb up. But when Liu Tai impeached the minister, the officialdom was still very difficult. Pay attention to these.”

When Zhang Juzheng talked about this, he raised his eyes and looked at the roof as if he was recalling something. "In the second year of Wanli, the emperor was only 12 years old. At that time, Gan Gang decided to fight in Liaodong. The minister didn't say anything, but his heart was still sweating every day."

Zhu Yijun saw the old man in front of him recalling the past, and his heart jumped up to the platform that day. When Zhang Juzheng said, "Sir, why don't you dare?!" state.

Zhang Juzheng continued: "In order to support Li Chengliang and prevent civil officials from being constrained, the minister sent Liu Tai to patrol Liaodong, stationed in Tieling, and supervised the logistics of the army." Zhu Yijun didn't know about this, but he didn't interrupt, just listened to him quietly.

Zhang Juzheng said: "When Li Chengliang succeeded in the first battle, it was not revealed that Bu Feijie was on the same day. As a result, the first victory report received by the imperial court turned out to be from Liu Tai. The emperor also knew about the system of our dynasty, and any major victory should be handled by the governor. The imperial envoy has a sparse performance, and the imperial censor records the merits. And Liu Tai blatantly violated the system and made a success, he should be arrogant and arrogant, and he clearly wants to compete with the governor Zhang Xueyan for this military merit that is guaranteed by food and grass."

"It was the minister who cherished his talent, and also had the selfishness to protect his 'private', and suppressed the good news of the violation for a day and a half. When the good news of Zhang Xueyan and Liu Yingjie arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he drafted his promissory note— The emperor and the supervisor of li should not have paid attention to the date he wrote on the inscription book, or the supervisor of li had noticed, but since the minister's vote was later, he didn't say it."

Zhu Yijun never imagined that there were still such tricks that day, and smiled bitterly in his heart: "The master is indeed a false proposition."

Having said this, Zhang Juzheng drank a sip of hot tea, wiped his face with his hands, and said, "The minister has been preserved in every possible way, but he has been stabbed in the heart for the fifth year of Wanli. The disciples of Taiyi impeached the master. Your Majesty, we both monarchs and ministers have created a precedent for the Ming Dynasty."

When Zhu Yijun heard this, blood surged in his heart.Zhang Juzheng said again: "Afterwards, the horse that the emperor rode was startled, and the deceased father was killed. Your Majesty, the two of us, the emperor and the minister, are still scorpions shitting -- the only one."

Zhu Yijun heard the words and said, "You and I are the only ones who have created the great reform. I dare to say that there is no one in the past, and no one has come since - it's true."

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "I believe in the emperor. In the fifth year of Wanli, I completely believed in the emperor. From what the emperor said in the Huangji Palace, 'I ignored the memorial of Mr. Zhang's resignation, and falsely accused him of being greedy, contemptible and trapped. With the exclusive power, the rest of the crime of killing the clan, raising the imperial family, domineering, lustful, and cunning will all be eliminated.' After this sentence, the life of the minister is not his own."

"Even if the minister died today, I would dare to say that I am worthy of the late emperor and worthy of His Majesty." After saying this, Zhang Juzheng choked up a little.Zhu Yijun felt an inexplicable pain in his heart when he heard the ominous voice he said.Qiang smiled and said, "Old sir, I would like to have a good start with you, and be a pair of monarchs and ministers who will leave a good story." After saying this, he felt a heat in his eyes, and hurriedly picked up the teacup at hand and drank it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sad, Zhang Juzheng changed the subject and said with a smile: "The imperial edict issued by the emperor states that the prime minister and ministers can be re-elected for two consecutive five-year terms. The minister has always wanted to ask, does it count from the promulgation of the edict? Even the chief assistant of the cabinet?"

Zhu Yijun couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said.He picked up a silk scarf on the ice, wiped his face, and said, "The martyr is in his old age, and his heart is full of strength; the old man has a long-term ambition, and the old gentleman will take good care of his body and work for me for a few more years."

Zhang Juzheng bowed and said, "Old minister dare not obey orders?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts seemed to be warmer, and they both felt that they trusted each other more.Recalling what Shen Shixing had just said, Zhang Juzheng said, "Although the minister is willing to serve for ten years, he has to prevent the repetition of what happened today. If the minister fails to wake up any time - the emperor is willing to listen to the old minister's 'last watch'. Is it?"

After Zhu Yijun heard it, he said solemnly, "But it's okay to say it, old gentleman."

Zhang Juzheng said: "If the court situation does not change at this time, the old minister thinks that it is best to let Zhang Siwei work for two or three years. It is also a good idea to cut down on the policy of the ministers, and the officials who have hit hard are repaired and corrected, and slowed down for a while. Tight situation."

"But Zhang Fengpan must not let him stay on the throne for a long time. For two or three years, he will try his best to think about the emperor and consolidate the time for the saints-after two years, whether the emperor believes in him or not, he will start planning for himself and Shanxi. The clan has plans."

"After Zhang Siwei, the emperor naturally acted arbitrarily. However, the old minister did not take the liberty to recommend it to His Majesty: If Pan Sheng is still not defeated, this person can take over Zhang Siwei. Although he may not be better than Zhang Siwei, But Pan Sheng is thinking of reform from the bottom of his heart. Among the people above the second rank in the court, his intention to reform is the strongest."

"But Pan Sheng is more intelligent than patient; if the minister is alive, no one will judge him; if the minister is open, he may not be able to retreat under Zhang Siwei's hands. If he loses, the emperor can use Pan Jitun, Luo Wanhua, Wang Family. Screen and so on, absolutely can't use Shen Shixing."

"Although he is also my protégé, he already has the desire to fight against differences between the parties. In the future, if there is a party dispute in my dynasty, it will start from Shen Shixing."

　Change it first and then change it, so that you will not continue to owe it today.
