Wanli Xinming

Chapter 79 Countercurrent
The one who fired the first shot was Wang Zhuoyu, the imperial censor of the two Huai Rivers.In the early June of the second year of Wanli year, he wrote in a memorial that more than [-] games including Lu Si and others belonging to the Lianghuai Transport Division were hit by a severe drought first in the spring.Before the summer, there was another bad storm, the rivers and seas swelled suddenly, people and animals disappeared, and the salt floated away.The huts are in ruins, and the kitchen is homeless and famished.

The above inscriptions are not true or false, at least they are words.However, the censor turned his head and rushed directly to Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng to advocate the method of drying salt: "The minister inspected the two Huaihe Rivers and saw that the Secretary of Yun was ordered by the government to promote the industrial service, and it must be completed in six months. A field for drying salt."

"When the minister asked him to exhaust his people's strength to do his work, he replied: 'This is the emperor's order.' Does the minister not know that the emperor's order is to serve the people and it is useless?"

"The method of frying salt with salary has been practiced since ancient times. The method of drying salt requires a clear sky. If the sky is sunny, it will be dry, so what is the food for the cook? If it rains one day, the salt will be dried. If it is water again, how can one obtain salt? Or the officials of Yunnei have obtained the proof of salt drying in Haifeng and Xiangshan, but are they ashamed of being charming? The ministers visited the old salt households and laughed at them.”

After attacking the salt drying method, Censor Wang returned to the theme: "Today, this minister has seen for himself that the people living in the Huaihuai and Huaihuai suffer from the hardships of the servants, and the droughts and floods are intertwined, and there is no chance of life. Sheng Mingze was in the house. How can I bear to see this now? The minister asked for relief to the kitchen and risked his death to hear: 'The Holy Son of Heaven bows and rules', why bother to think hard, serve on behalf of the subordinates, serve the eyes and ears of the wise, and do nothing Dao Zai? Fu Qi Holy Inquisition."

The title book was sent directly to the cabinet, and Zhang Juzheng secretly said in his heart: "Let's see how the emperor responds to him." Paste the yellow road: "For example, the relief for the stove."

Superintendent of Li scolded the red: "I know."Because the imperial censor had words of persuasion to the emperor, the supervisor of li put the inscription into the abridgement of Zhu Yijun's reading of the memorial.

Zhu Yijun first read the summary of the memorial compiled by the supervisor of li, and then came back to read the original, and drew a circle on the red mark of the supervisor of li.This is Zhu Yijun's version of "Reporting News", later called "Circle Reading".

As Wang Zhuoyu fired the first shot to counter the New Deal.In June, the Censor and Giving moved on the news, from the salt drying, Kaocheng, Zhu Xizhong's title to the king, Tianshui Station Fort was slaughtered and so on. In the middle of the year, there were more than [-] memorials for the impeachment of Zhang Juzheng.

In the early days of impeaching Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun had not yet noticed that there was a conflict in the court.Because after Zhang Juzheng came to power, he was consulted every month in his affairs - this is the method of mutual control in the family law of the ancestors.

The specific operation is as follows: If Zhu Yijun wants to replace Zhang Juzheng, as long as one of the memorials for impeaching Zhang Juzheng that is held every month is selected and delivered to the court, Zhang Juzheng will not be able to take his place and must resign.

Of course, this kind of memorial is not a big fault, usually Zhang Juzheng's clothes and hat are not neat, or he coughs before speaking. made a statement.For example, last year, he arranged for the middle official to send two large characters to Zhang Juzheng's house, "Mr. Zhuang's Mansion".In this way, the imperial court knew that Zhang Juzheng's family was still the same as before.

However, after Zhu Yijun stayed in the middle and read a few books, the memorial was still coming, that is, he knew that the conservative forces had started the first wave of counterattacks.Zhu Yijun originally wanted to communicate with Zhang Juzheng, but he didn't mention it in a few small meetings.Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai Island, with the meaning of the eight winds not moving, Zhu Yijun also pressed his mind and watched the changes.

On June [-], the second year of Wanli, Nanjing Huke gave a memorial to Yu Maoxue, which was the peak of this 'countercurrent' attack, and finally annoyed the steady Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Yijun.

Yu Maoxue in the memorial "Chen five things", one called Chongdun Da.Yu Maoxue directly attacked the emperor and said: "Since Your Majesty came to the imperial court, he has established a code of examination and success, and a rule of long-term appointment. The rules of applying for the constitution, the punishment of strict delays, and the ministers of all sizes will serve their duties. Strictness is harsh, legal secrets are disturbing, and it is not because of cultivating vitality. In the past, Gao Tao praised Emperor Shun for being broad and simple, and Ji Dan became king with Dun. May Your Majesty Yuanxian Erjun, pay attention to gentleness and restraint, and keep general and abbreviated. Redundancy, subtle flaws and small slaps."

The gist of this passage is that, Your Majesty, your examinations are too strict, and the ministers and workers of all sizes cannot "build up the vitality and maintain the generality".Yu Maoxue also gave Zhu Yijun two positive examples.

What does Yu Maoxue want the emperor to be honest and generous?Yu Mao learned: "The principle of peace in Lunjing is not the decree of severing responsibilities. The decree is based on honesty and honesty rather than being specific, and the common people are lenient and strict, and the government is harmonious." The purpose of responsibility) This is not completed, that must be done well.Everyone is working hard, your old beep makes it difficult for the ministers.Once you relax, the so-called "combination of leniency and strictness, and harmony in political affairs".

The second is called pro-jian (press: upright ministers).Yu Mao said: "The road of speech is blocked, and governance is at stake. The lord of the Han and Tang Dynasties may stop the speech to receive the snot and breath, or Qi Wei may use the remonstrance of ten gradual and ten thoughts."

And after you ascend the throne, what will happen to my court? "The arrogant ministers will be condemned! Those who dare to speak out will be moved out! May Your Majesty accept the words of others in vain, and ask for ways to be scolded and condemned for no reason, and not be questioned because of petty words. The Ministry of Personnel has excellent records of loyal and unscrupulous people."

In these words, Yu Maoxue nakedly hinted that the emperor, you were tricked by Zhang Juzheng, he drove away all those who dared to speak out, and quickly asked the officials to call them back.In this way, "Holy virtue is prosperous, but treacherous evildoers do not dare to steal."

The third is called careful name.Yu Mao said, "Your Majesty, you have entrusted Zheng Zhen, the eunuch of the palace, to get Yin's nephew Xuan as a thousand households of Jinyiwei.Then you can't grasp it. "It's not too long before you ask for stewardship, and it's not too long before you ask for an official order. Your Majesty will agree to it before you make a proposal." Zhu Yijun saw this statement, that was done by Empress Dowager Li, why did you put my head on it? ?

The fourth is called Precepts.Yu Maoxue made a fool of himself here, and directly attacked the emperor and Zhang Juzheng to change the family law of his ancestors: "The poems sing about Yaozhang, and the book speaks to lead the ancestors. Since the past few years, those who have built white have been dazzling, and those who have been inscribed have been selfish. There is a certain law, and tomorrow it will be stopped with a certain word; today, a certain law will be changed with a certain word, and tomorrow will be repeated with a certain word.

Yu Maoxue was still sensible, he did not explicitly say that the emperor changed the family law of his ancestors.He said that Zhang Juzheng, Ge Shouli, Wang Guoguang and others were "blessed and dazzling", and their suggestions and suggestions were unreliable, and he described them as "dazzling".

As for the emperor, he said that "the person who answered the question is selfish", and clearly said that he was the supervisor of li, but Zhu Yijun seemed to have pointed his nose at the emperor!Because Yu Maoxue followed closely and said, "May your Majesty, the ministers, abide by the constitution!"

Yu Maoxue said a total of five points, and Zhu Yijun was most sensitive to the fourth point he said.Because this made it clear to the court that Zhu Yijun wanted to change the "constitution", and added unnecessary resistance to the administration of "although not to change the law, but to change the law".

What made Zhang Juzheng extremely annoyed was the fifth article of Yu Mao's theory, which is called "preventing the hut."

Yu Mao said: "I have seen that a certain department's work on covering the borders is often the first cabinet minister, and the governor is full of praise. However, it is still said that the deployment and propaganda power should be described as an example. When the Zhuozhou bridge work is completed, the world knows that it will be a profit for the Virgin Mary. It is benevolent, and the ministry discusses merits and even exaggerates the achievements of ministers and ministers. Although the example is old, the word involves offering a wat. The merits of Duke Zhou are solid and great, and they should all be done by the division of ministers and sons!"

For fear that Zhu Yijun could not understand, Yu Maoxue further explained to the emperor that your sage and kindness were used by Zhang Juzheng to put gold on his face.

"The closest ministers are Mao rewarded, and they are simple from the heart of the emperor. If you crave heaven's merit and claim your own strength, the wise will not be there. May your majesty apply for this department, and the merits should only be stated directly. Please give the honor to the cabinet minister Yizan's honor. , the labor of the close ministers and guards, the sage's heart is long-lasting, and the national code is preserved, especially if it is not praised, it will be long-lasting."

Yu Maoxue is here, almost nakedly alienating Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng.He told Zhu Yijun that the superintendent made achievements, and he never mentioned your Shengming leader, but said that it was Zhang Juzheng's "operational planning and propaganda".

No matter what, as long as the governor and the ministries show their merits, they will "exaggerate the old ways and show off audio-visual" to boast about the achievements of cabinet ministers and ministers.In Yu Maoxue's entire memorial, the finishing touch is here: "My husband Zhou Gong's merits are solid and great, and they should all be done by the division of ministers!"

　I'm sorry, but I haven't finished writing it until now.

　　ps: 1. The original time and space Yu Maoxue's report on Chen Wushi was published in the third year of Wanli.Lao Mo thinks that the pace of reform in this time and space is much larger, and Yu Maoxue should not be able to hold back this year. 2. The second half of Wang Zhuoyu's memorial is compiled by Lao Mo, and the last three sentences are sparsely quoted from "Ten Thoughts of the Emperor Taizong".Everyone just watch the fun.
