Wanli Xinming

Chapter 28 Trivial Notes ([-])

Zhang Siwei was taken aback when he heard Wang Chonggu's judgment, and the short beard under his jaw trembled.Nai asked, "Why is my uncle so pessimistic?"

Wang Chonggu sneered and said, "I'm talking about people like Wu Shang Yang and Guan Zhong."

"In today's world, the intensity of land annexation has gone far beyond the end of the Tang and Song Dynasties. One-fifth of the people's power is used to support the court, soldiers, royal family and clan, and they are exploited by corrupt officials. The rich are connected with fields, and the poor There is no place for them to stand on, and the harvest of a farmer for one year is only enough to feed him for half a year—I have surveyed the history of the past dynasties, and the world is like this, and within 50 years there will be great chaos!"

Hearing this, Zhang Siwei nodded sadly, and said, "What uncle said is true. However, uncle said that 'Shang Yang, Guan Zhong' and the like, in today's world, who can be the one?" After he finished speaking, he stared at Wang Chonggu.

Wang Chonggu laughed and said: "Do you think it's my generation? Ziwei, you have never been taught to learn from your childhood, so your heart is still like a charcoal of fire - if someone underestimates you, you can't bear it in this world. !"

"The only one who can be in this world is Zhang Juzheng!"

Zhang Siwei heard these words, and although he was not convinced, he did not intend to argue with Wang Chonggu.

Wang Chong's old saying turned his head and said: "Zhang Juzheng has relied on in his life, and I can only see the word 'perseverance'. His early onset is a sign of Jiangshan's age, but he did not say a word for seven years after entering the Hanlin Academy. Later, because he couldn't develop his ambition, he went home to study for six years to support his hope. Can you and I do this?" Zhang Siwei was silent.

Wang Chonggu watched his expression and knew what he was thinking, but his nephew was already the choice of the temple, so let's talk about it.

Zhang Siwei pondered for a while, and finally asked: "I think the emperor is capable of his own power, and he has the intention of taking charge of the government as soon as possible, and Zhang Juzheng wants to take the power alone, can we take matters from it?"

Wang Chonggu's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the words, and his expression was solemn.After pondering for a while, Fang said: "Feng Bao's defeat was so quick before that it was dizzying. It's hard to know what happened during the period - I don't think Feng Bao knew it."

"It is expected that there are two reasons for Feng Bao's defeat. One of them is that Feng Bao hindered the emperor to spread his ambitions, and the emperor hated it. But the emperor is so young, how can he be smart? And how to break the holy family that Feng Bao has accumulated for many years. , I can't think of it."

"Or - Zhang Juzheng has another channel to communicate with the sage, then Feng Bao has to go! But this theory is even more incredible. From my point of view, and seeing the method of the platform's call and the test, the first one is very important. Bigger - but the emperor wants to show great ambition, Feng Bao only has the capacity to flatter, why should he fail?" After speaking, he was pondering and puzzled.

Zhang Siwei's heart jumped, and he looked around subconsciously.At this time, if the topics discussed by the nephew and uncle were leaked, the Yi people would inevitably be.

Seeing his trembling state, Wang Chonggu knew that this nephew was used to being cautious and did not laugh at him.Nai said again: "What Ziwei said is taken from it—" Zhang Siwei saw that his uncle had spoken about the key, so he cheered up and waited with his ears pricked up.

Wang Chonggu continued: "I don't take it." Seeing Zhang Siwei's face changed slightly, he explained patiently: "My high-ranking officials, not only see the opportunity, but also see the situation!"

He raised a hand and pointed upwards: "Zhang Juzheng is stubborn and stubborn. At this time, the situation of the country is gradually forming, and its momentum is like the beginning of a tide. , if Xu Jie was to Yan Song."

"As the emperor grows up, you can spread your wings lightly, and then show that you are independent and good - in this way, the emperor will notice you, and at that time Zhang Juzheng is in a place of suspicion, this is your chance! Or In five or six years, or more than ten years, Zhang Juzheng will definitely lose!"

When Zhang Siwei heard it, he had nothing else to do except write the word "serving" in his heart.

Wang Chonggu was very proud when he saw that his nephew had accepted it. Although he didn't show it on his face, his talk was strong.After taking a sip of tea, he continued: "Your in-laws are old and faint, and they can no longer be used. You can make a good deal of money and let him go to office. With Zhang Juzheng, on the condition that you enter the cabinet, you will change the minister of officials. Zhang Juzheng has been jealous of the officials for a long time. Now, this is a matter of benefit for the three companies, or they can be carefully managed."

Zhang Siwei heard the words and said, "I haven't published the book yet, so how can I enter the pavilion at this time?"

Wang Chong said: "Sejong has been in power for a long time, and there are many chapters and slips, and the record is still unfinished. Let Zhang Juzheng get you up first, and go to repair the "Record of the Temple of the World" first. After completing the "Record of the Temple", you will be promoted to one level, and you can enter the pavilion directly at that time."

Zhang Siwei remembered it in his heart, and sighed: "I hope that Zhang Jiangling's words will be counted."

Wang Chonggu glanced at him and sighed: "Zhang Juzheng disdains to be a small ear. As long as Yang Bo is as promised, he will not deceive you."

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Siwei asked Wang Chonggu what he thought of Jinshang.

Wang Chonggu sighed and commented: "Seeing the emperor's comment on my memorial, what he said and thought, he was far-sighted. It can be said that he was vigorous at an early age, and he was very capable. However, his ambition was lofty and he had not yet fulfilled the real task. It is unknown if the same thing will happen again in my court.”

Seeing Zhang Siwei's ignorance, Wang Chonggu laughed and said: "Ziwei is stupid when he reads? Is Emperor Yang only a tyrant and only husband? His capital Luoyang and the construction of a canal are matters of great benefit to the world. Only then did Li Tang take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, Taizong, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, would still be the courtier of the Sui Dynasty!"

Zhang Siwei nodded his head to be taught, and asked, "If it's what my uncle expected, what will my generation do?"

Wang Chonggu laughed and stroked his beard: "No matter which family in the world, you need money and scholars! As long as you accumulate wealth and raise more seeds of reading, no matter who comes, my big family in Shanxi can still be in the courtroom and wear red and purple! "

On August [-], the first year of Wanli, in the township examination of Shuntian Prefecture, the emperor personally ordered Youchunfang, Youyude and Hanlin Bachelor, Wang Xijue as the main tester, and Zhang Juzheng selected Zuochunfang, Zuozhongyun and Hanlin Academy editor Chen Jingbang as deputy testers.Zhu Yijun also gave the main test topic, and intercepted a sentence from "Book of Rites. University": "To know is to check things, and then to know things."

On the [-]th day of the same month, he went to the Imperial Palace.Zhang Juzheng led a hundred officials to celebrate the emperor's birthday.The emperor Yuyin replied: "The emperor's examination has not passed Daxiang, so please don't congratulate him."The above gave officials such as daily lectures, advanced lectures, and classics feasts, ranging from silver taels and robes.

On August [-], Zhang Juzheng wrote the memorial: "Your Majesty has read the memorial recently, in order to learn the great politics, and the saints are advancing day by day. Moreover, the saints have been compiled, and Junlie has been blessed. It is also a blessing for ancestors and sects. The verses of the scriptures are increasing day by day, and the holy bow seems to be too laborious."

"The ministers think that the learning of the emperor is different from the practice, but it is in the integration and thoroughness, and it is not between the chapters. You can try to reduce the daily lectures and advanced lectures a little, and beg for the holy judgement."

Zhu Yijun was overjoyed at the performance and hurriedly asked Empress Dowager Li to watch it.Empress Dowager Li was not very selfish. Although she instructed the emperor not to waste his studies, but seeing that his chin was pointy these days, he did not dare to overwork him, so she nodded in agreement.

In September of that year, due to Zhang Juzheng's renovation of the capital's mansion, in order to strengthen his appearance, the emperor gave Zhang Juzheng two pairs of imperial characters, one was called the minister of the government and the other was the assistant of the armour, and sent the middle officials to Zhang Juzheng's mansion, where Zhang Juzheng gave thanks. .

In October, the autumn wind was chilling, and Yang Bo was begging for bones due to illness.The Minister of Officials was an important minister, and Ge Shouli and Zhu Heng were both interested when the court pushed, but Zhang Han, who was Zhang Juzheng's prime minister, came out on top.Zhu Yijun couldn't intervene and didn't want to intervene at this time, he just circled the result of court push.

During the winter solstice, ten "Rishenglong" stores quietly opened in ten cities including Beijing, Nanjing, Jining, Linqing, Chengdu, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Guangzhou and Chang'an.

Although it was quiet when it opened, these ten stores are as dazzling as fireflies in the dark night.All of them are built in the best places facing the street, and they do not need to be listed in detail, but all the shops have one glass window, which attracts thousands of people to see.
