I'm really not doing business

Chapter 101
Song Yangshan refused to agree to Xu Jie's idea of ​​only paying taxes and not returning the land. This is a brother of the same school, and the other is Zhang Juzheng. Offending Zhang Juzheng will only lead to a worse death.

But when Xu Jie brought out the forged imperial edict from Hu Zongxian back then, Song Yangshan didn't know how to deal with it.

Song Yangshan said with a grim expression: "That's not what you said at the beginning! Xu Jie, you didn't say that you wanted Hu Zongxian to die! I was reprimanded at the time, so I listened to your words and forged an imperial decree. Killed."

Xu Jie said with a complicated expression: "At that time, it was beyond my control."

The violent wind that boiled against the sky was getting stronger and stronger, and Xu Jie couldn't control the situation at all. For some things, Xu Jie could only decide to start, and the development and results of things were beyond his control at all.

Song Yangshan served as the right minister of Dali Temple in Beijing, and impeached Hu Zongxian and Ruan E for corruption. This was also one of Song Yangshan's steps in cooperating with Xu Jie to overthrow the strict party, step by step to make the temple master hate the strict party.

After the impeachment of Hu Zongxian, Song Yangshan was reprimanded by the strict party and relegated to Yiling as a judge, and then transferred to Fujian as a deputy envoy of military preparations. He hooked up with Zhang Juzheng.

Hu Zongxian is interesting, that's what he meant. Song Yangshan impeached Hu Zongxian and was reprimanded. Song Yangshan had already come to his place, and Hu Zongxian didn't retaliate.

Zhang Juzheng didn't use Song Yangshan because of his uncle's face. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng broke up with Xu Jie.

As for the forgery of Hu Zongxian's imperial decree, it was also because Song Yangshan was in Fujian and had close contacts with Hu Zongxian, so he had Hu Zongxian's handwriting, so he forged it.

Song Yangshan never thought that Xu Jie would directly let Hu Zongxian die in prison.

Now, Song Yangshan is linked to Youqian capital censor Yingtian and governor Yingtian, but at this time Xu Jie's old story is brought up again.

"I regret that I cooperated with you at the beginning! You are taking this matter to get me now?" Song Yangshan looked at Xu Jie and said rather sternly, at this time Song Yangshan had already moved to kill.

Xu Jie Zhizhu held it tightly and said, "Don't worry, junior brother. Haven't you taken it out yet? If you don't take it out, it means you don't have it? Please help me, junior brother."

"You still don't want to return those armored crossbows in your house?" Song Yangshan chose to change the topic temporarily, he needs to think carefully, and don't be taken away by Xu Jie.

Since Xu Jie came to find Song Yangshan, he was naturally prepared. He couldn't let Song Yangshan do things for nothing. He hurriedly said, "Repay, do I dare not pay back? I'll take this head, and those vacillating powerful gentry will also Pay it back."

"Can I still make it difficult for my junior?"

It was like a gift, but after careful thought, Song Yangshan realized that Xu Jie was here to give in. To be precise, when the Gu family fell down with lightning speed , The powerful and wealthy gentry felt panic.

Taxes can be paid, but land return is not.

Song Yangshan noticed some abnormalities in Xu Jie, Xu Jie lacked confidence, Song Yangshan took a little guesswork, and his expression slowly returned to calm. It was because of what Xu Jie said just now that Song Yangshan was a little angry, and now he thinks about it seriously Think, mentality is getting more and more stable.

Song Yangshan said quite calmly: "Teacher Xu, do you really keep that forged imperial edict? Wang Daokun, Shen Yiguan and the Zhejiang Party are very worried about Hu Zongxian's death. Sima is also clenching his teeth tightly."

"If you show it, I'll be a fake document and be dismissed from office at worst. What about you, your Xu family, the whole family will die."

"Besides, Taishi Xu, if you say I forged it, then I forged it? I also said that you are just stalking and biting. You said Yuanfu, the imperial court, and Your Majesty, do you believe me or do you believe me?"

"The imperial court is poor, and I have finished the matter of returning the land. Yuanfu will blame me?"

Song Yangshan found out that Xu Jie was threatening him with a handle that he couldn't show. He was also an accomplice in Hu Zongxian's death case, so how can he prove that Xu Jie wasn't just chasing and biting indiscriminately?
Xu Jie was silent for a moment, he found that the people he had taken so hard in the past, now counted one by one, had become a bit shrewd, which made Xu Jie feel a little uncomfortable.

Xu Jie said helplessly: "We are brothers from the same school. I have no intention of taking you. We are just people on the same boat. I am here this time to discuss. You are now the majestic Governor Yingtian. I am alone. What can Qianqian Chief Assistant, who has gained power, do with you?"

Song Yangshan sighed and said: "You underestimate Yuanfu too much. Believe it or not, when I submit such a melody, Yuanfu can immediately guess that you have a handle on me, and you will give me to you soon." Change, change someone to preside over this matter."

"The general trend is unstoppable. When the raging river is rushing, you and I are just rocks. Isn't this the truth that Grand Master Xu has endured for 20 years? Is this something you and I can stop?"

"Can?"

"Master Xu, Senior Brother Xu, listen to me, you have already returned the fields, do you care about their life or death?"

Xu Jie stood up, looked at Song Yangshan and said sincerely: "I don't care if they live or die, they want the lives of my whole family. Believe it or not, I will express my support for the government's decree of returning the land tomorrow, and my ancestral house will be closed the day after tomorrow." Can it be taken away by a group of small bandits, burned clean, and nothing left?"

"Xu Fan came up with a compromise solution, and immediately became a murderer, and now they are all sent to the army."

Seeing that Xu Jie was about to leave, Song Yangshan also stood up to see him off, walked to the threshold, and Song Yangshan said in a low voice: "Master Xu, I will show you the way. It is better for you to write a letter to the chief assistant than me to write a memorial to Beijing. Grandmaster Xu said Yes or no?"

"Thank you, junior, please stay." Xu Jie turned and left.

Song Yangshan said: "Send Grand Master Xu."

After Xu Jie walked away, Song Yangshan looked at Xu Jie's figure on the sedan chair, and then whispered: "Old fox."

Song Yangshan was almost intimidated by Xu Jie. He sensed Xu Jie's lack of confidence and figured out the key point, so he was not fooled by Xu Jie. Zhang Juzheng will immediately notice the conditions of the noble gentleman, and then be dismissed.

The most frightening thing about politics is that you are on the wrong side, and you are on the opposite side of Zhang Juzheng.

Xu Jie returned to the inn, after thinking for a long time, he spread out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but Song Yangshan refused to help, so he had to write a letter to the traitor to set conditions, his words were very sad, and he also explained the matter clearly.

Nanya has 700 hectares and [-] million mu of land, all of which have been accumulated by powerful families for generations.

Zhang Juzheng received Xu Jie's letter and Song Yangshan's memorial.

In Song Yangshan’s memoir, Xu Jie was sent to him, and he also made it clear that he forged Hu Zongxian’s handwritten imperial decree back then, as if pouring beans into a bamboo tube. This matter has been in Song Yangshan’s heart for a long, long time. He was in Fujian When fighting the rebellion with Qi Jiguang, Hu Zongxian was the commander-in-chief of Pingwa.

Shen Yiguan, Shen Yiguan's father, and Wang Daokun all once appealed to him, hoping that Song Yangshan would speak up for Hu Zongxian's name. After all, everyone was working under Hu Zongxian's subordinates to fight the Japanese together. Song Yangshan only agreed superficially and never said anything. One sentence.

Now that Xu Jie's old matter was brought up again, Song Yangshan simply explained the situation clearly, the court wanted to kill him or cut him to pieces, and it would not be too late to discuss the matter after he finished returning the land.

"That's it? I thought they dared to gather Xiao Xiao to rebel, even if they recruited some bandits behind their backs, it was considered a fight, so it's time to throw a crossbow? It's boring." Zhang Juzheng put down Xu Jie's letter, feeling bored. Quan Haojinshen has a loud voice, but is very timid.

You Qi was also happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Yu Long in Nanya? If Yu Shuai is not in Songjiang Mansion, they may cause a lot of trouble! Now Yu Shuai doesn't go looking for bandits. Are the bandits still in trouble?"

Zhang Juzheng nodded very seriously and said: "What you said is very reasonable. Nanya has long lacked the imperial court's arrogant soldiers and powerful generals to deter it, so it is naturally bold! Celebrating rewards and punishments is indispensable. Mergers are in full swing. The people are suffering and withering. It is related to the deterrence of soldiers."

"It's like a maritime trade matter."

Zhang Juzheng has been thinking about a question recently, that is, whether Daming's bank should be in his own hands. This question is very complicated, and he needs to think carefully.

"Then Xu Jie said that he would not return the land but only pay the tax. Will you agree to him?" You Qi asked with a strange expression: "If you want to agree, you should communicate with the palace to prevent any misunderstandings. In case your majesty in the palace And the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid it's not good to interpret this matter as the husband wants to protect Gu Rong Xu Jie."

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "Of course I don't agree, Tian took it back, and there is still a lack of taxes?"

"It's better for them to rebel. Look at Wang Guoguang, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs recently. His face was wrinkled with a smile. When he heard that 50 silver had been put into the warehouse, his eyes turned green. His left eye said grain and his right eye money."

"Wang Shangshu can't wait for them to rebel, so that they can all ransack their homes, a family of 50 yuan, how many powerful gentry in Nanya, if they are all copied, how much money, how many fields, how much food will be spent."

"I've already taken care of Xu Jie and left him [-] mu of land. I didn't pursue Hu Zongxian's case too much. He even went to lobby Song Yangshan."

"People, if you go the wrong way, it's really hard to turn back."

Zhang Juzheng was talking about Xu Jie, and he was also talking about Song Yangshan and Hu Zongxian. It was a complete tragedy. At that time, all those who contributed to the flames were sinners. Take the crime and make meritorious deeds.

If Song Yangshan doesn't talk about it, Xu Jie insists on it, the court can't do anything about Song Yangshan. There is only one piece of physical evidence, and there is no documentary witness.

Since Song Yangshan said it, and he refused to surrender to the powerful and wealthy gentry, and handed over the handle to Zhang Juzheng, then Song Yangshan can continue to preside over the return of the field.

Zhang Juzheng is a follower, he uses the clear flow, he also uses the turbid flow, the ground in the Nanya is complex, if he can handle this job well, Zhang Juzheng will use it.

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help thinking of Jia Sanjin. Jia Sanjin was standing at the fork in the road. If Jia Sanjin lived in the Quanjin Guild Hall and sent his children to Ge Shouli's family school, he wouldn't end up in the current situation.

Jia Sanjin accepted the house presented by Zhang Siwei, and now Jia Sanjin has been stripped of his official uniform, and now the house has returned to Zhang Siwei's hands.

"How did you find Li Shizhen?" Zhang Juzheng asked about Li Shizhen. This genius doctor is not a miracle doctor. Li Shizhen met a doctor in Dongbitang in Qichun County, Huguang. , Li Shizhen went to the mountains, and she didn't know when she would be able to return to the church.

You Qi thought for a while and shook his head and said, "The news from Huguang has not come back yet."

"En." Zhang Juzheng began to continue annotating the Four Books. After the Analects of Confucius was finished, Mencius came next.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. The little emperor came to the Wenhua Palace early in the morning, waiting for the courtiers to enter the palace, flipping through two memorials in his hand.

After three blows of the clean whip, the officials entered the hall.

"Meet Your Majesty, is Your Majesty safe?"

"I'm safe, no courtesy." Zhu Yijun waved his small hand, signaling to flatten his body, and then said: "Kechen Geng Dingxing and others, jointly named Shangshu, to praise Wang Yangming's merits."

"Geng Ding said: Most of the Confucian officials in modern times praised their clothes and belts for tolerance, but when they studied their daily use, they were often sick of restraint and made no achievements; What I have experienced. The customs have been imprisoned for a long time!"

"Shouren has all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and the unique knowledge of sages and sages. He was appointed by the officials, but he resisted Shu to violate the middle, and he was willing to be relegated to the fire and famine; he built Taijiang You, and raised troops to quell the great rebellion, and personally took over the land of the country. Merit. Great feats and extraordinary feats, long seen and pushed by public opinion; how can it be appropriate to seize them all in one's life?"

The meaning of this memorandum is that Confucian scholars now have problems, they only like to have fun, and stick to the rules, so they have nothing to do, and they are praising Wang Yangming.

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng thought it over a bit and said: "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

"After Shou-jen, many of his disciples were unconventional and thought they were famous. They didn't understand the essence of Shou-ren's mind at all. The unity of knowledge and action is the same as conscience, but they only talk about conscience and don't talk about the unity of knowledge and action. It's like a person with only one leg. How can we go so far?"

"His disciples always call on his disciples and sing to each other. Talented people need to rely on them. The mediocre people without talent often use their benevolence to learn bluff, deceive people, and become more and more presumptuous."

"In Qingliu, his theory is particularly prevalent. His disciples tend to be eloquent and talkative. They keep their benevolence in mind, and spread falsehoods. There are more and more fallacies. In recent years, they have often spoken out loudly."

"The imperial court did not seize the title of Shouren, that's for sure, but this theory, I think, should be considered."

"Should be benevolent, discuss with the court, and not take away his title, so as to show the great faith of the country; ban his heresy, so as to correct the hearts of the people in the world."

After Wang Yangming's death, the imperial court made the first coffin conclusion on Wang Yangming's life, and fully affirmed Wang Yangming's achievements, that is, his military achievements. Confucian scholars completely deny Wang Yangming's academics, pointing out that his academics are "heresy".

In the end, he got a "exemption from conferring titles and prohibition of heresy", affirming Wang Yangming's achievements and prohibiting the spread of Wang Yangming's philosophy.

It’s not that Zhang Juzheng, or Gui E back then, didn’t look down on Wang Yangming’s philosophy of mind. On the contrary, they very much agreed with Wang Yangming’s idea of ​​unity of knowledge, action, and conscience. How do you still walk?

Zhang Juzheng does not object to the lifting of the ban on thought. This is an inevitable social development. Zhang Juzheng, who is sitting on the contradiction theory, knows its benefits and its harms, but lacks the reality of practice. He is just exaggerating. Is it really conducive to the advancement of Ming Dynasty? ?
In the past few days, officials of science and Taoism, Confucian scholars who only talk about conscience, don’t they want to say: poor coolies, if they have no money, they can rent out their spare houses, and if they have no money, they can drive their own cars to transport people. goods?

Zhang Juzheng's contradictory theory can be said to have advanced to a higher level in the theory of Shouren Mind. He is not a castle in the sky, but standing on the shoulders of giants.

"Yuanfu thinks that his "Contradictory Theory" can start a school, Yuanfu's "Contradictory Theory" is very popular, and Shouren Xinxue's "Biography and Practice Records" can't be published?" After hearing this, Ge Shouli immediately jumped out and asked Yuanfu Questions were launched, questioning Zhang Juzheng's bad intentions, questioning Zhang Juzheng's use of his own power to promote his own Jiangling School and suppress other schools.

Serious interference with academic freedom!
Hai Rui frowned, and reminded in a low voice: "President Ge, be careful, what do you mean by saying that the contradiction belongs to His Majesty? Are you questioning His Majesty's writing?"

Ge Shouli was taken aback for a moment, and then he became a little dazed. Zhang Ju was just so sinister, he had thought of all of this!

When Yang Bo left, he told Ge Shouli that he must abide by the power of the master, and attacked Zhang Juzheng for usurping the divine weapon to confirm his status. After Yang Bo left, Ge Shouli had won successive victories. up.

The theory of contradiction is His Majesty's theory, not Zhang Juzheng's!

Everyone in the world knows that ten-year-old masters can't explain such profound truths, so when it comes to contradictions, it is the representative work of the Jiangling School, Zhang Juzheng's masterpiece.

Ge Shouli was beaten by his own boomerang. His newly promoted party, whose main outline is to respect the power of the Lord Shangweifu, turned out to question the emperor's writing style when he opened his mouth.

"Hahaha." Zhu Yijun was directly amused by Ge Shouli's stupefied expression, but he couldn't hold back. This Ge Shouli is indeed a bit straightforward.

Zhu Yijun finally stopped his smile and said: "Ge Zongxian, I am not laughing at you. The contradictory statement was indeed made by Mr. Yuanfu. It is just a reconciliation with me. It can only be published in my name."

When the courtier and the emperor appear at the same time, the name of the courtier naturally cannot be in front.

"Small things, small things, don't worry about Mr. Ge, go back to work, go back to work." Zhu Yijun waved his little hand, signaling Ge Shouli to go back.

Ge Shouli blushed, and this time he was indeed in a hurry.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said: "Mr. Yuanfu disagrees, so Xinjian Bo Wang Shouren worshiped the Confucian Temple? But Mr. Yuanfu contradicted that it would be published all over the world, and what Mr. Yuanfu was worried about should not happen."

Zhang Juzheng still refused to give in and bowed his head and said: "The minister thinks that His Majesty is in charge, and then discusses that it is better for Wang Shouren to sacrifice to the Confucian Temple. The contradiction is that it has just been published in the world. If you want to fight against Xinxue, you still have to wait a few years."

"Since Mr. Yuanfu still has doubts and said that it will take time, then follow what Mr. Yuanfu said." Zhu Yijun thought for a while and agreed with Zhang Juzheng's idea.

Zhang Juzheng is in charge now, he thinks something is wrong, of course he has his reasons, and Zhu Yijun is also very tired of the empty speeches of the officials of the department.

"Let's discuss with the court." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

Wang Yangming was the No. 1 leader in morality, meritorious service, and speech in the Ming Dynasty. The final conclusion on Wang Yangming is not static, but constantly changing.

At the beginning of the Jiajing period, he admitted his meritorious deeds with reservations, completely denied his academics, and denounced it as heresy; As a heresy, he criticizes Confucian scholars for doing nothing. He usually sits down and talks about his heart, and when he is in trouble, he will die to repay the king.

Later generations, on the one hand, praised the mutual stimulation of his achievements and academics, and praised him for "in times of danger and doubt, Longchang enlightened the Tao, the gods became calmer, and his wisdom and worries were exhausted"; Chong and balance state.

The conclusion of the coffin has changed several times, manifested as disputes and games between temples and public opinion, and between various forces, and also reveals the realistic needs and value orientations of different times.

Generally speaking, after Wang Yangming left, Wang Yangming was no longer his own size, just like Confucius.

Zhang Juzheng opened a book of memorials, and understood why the little emperor suddenly brought up this matter. It was because Wan Shihe, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, suggested that this year's Chunwei Examination should be based on Shouren's mind. The volume standard was changed from Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism to Yangming Xinxue.

The Ministry of Rites wants to change the syllabus.

Zhang Juzheng said earnestly: "Wan Shangshu, I don't disagree with Yangming's theory of mind, but since Shouren's death, this theory of Shouren's heart has become more and more paradoxical. It only focuses on conscience, and its harm is widespread."

"Also, most of the courtiers are rich and rich in culture and education, and the Nanya is the main place, while Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou, Shanxi, and Fujian are poor. If the poor culture and education are not flourishing, they will rise up."

Seeing that Wan Shihe didn't seem to understand, Tan Lun said, "Yuanfu's words are a bit complicated, but they are actually very simple. Yangming's philosophy of mind is widely circulated in Nanya. If you change the syllabus in the Ministry of Rites, you should say it in advance. At least Ten years in advance."

"Suddenly change the banner, change the syllabus, and impoverish the place where culture and education are not flourishing, so just don't take the test."

Tan Lun is the leader of the Zhejiang Party. He should actually open up the eyes for the students of the Zhejiang Association, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: It is not fair to change the exam syllabus.

The Ming Dynasty was divided into three rankings in the north and south, and the number of Jinshi was divided into three according to the number of candidates. It seemed fair, but in fact it was very unfair.

The number of candidates for Jinshi is divided into three, but the first-class (top 3) and second-class (top 183) candidates are basically occupied by Nanya, a place of prosperity and prosperity in culture and education, and first-class candidates are directly admitted to the Imperial Academy As a lucky scholar, most of the candidates who can be selected as a lucky scholar are second-class candidates.

Since Yingzong, after the rule that non-jinshi could not enter Hanlin, and non-hanlin could not enter the cabinet was established, the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was almost monopolized by Nanya students, and the inclination in policy, and even the disadvantages of aunts, became more and more serious. up.

Lands that are prosperous and prosperous in culture and education are rejoiced when they are favored or appeased by policies; places that are poor and poor in culture and education do not receive policy favors, and they take up arms to criticize and fight for them.

To change the syllabus, it must be announced at least ten years in advance, and it should be done gradually, overnight, which is child's play.

Tan Lun has vested interests, but since he is sitting in the Wenhua Palace, not only is he the leader of the Zhejiang Party, but even Tan Lun himself doesn't care much about this leader, but Zhang Juzheng needs a Zhejiang Party to replace the clan party. United with the newly promoted party to create a balanced situation.

"It turns out that's the case, so I won't change it for the time being." Wan Shihe listened to Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun's explanation, thought over and over again, and decided to follow their opinions and not change the syllabus.

Wan Shihe belonged to the Jin Party, and he was recommended by Yang Bo before he left. Shaanxi and Shanxi are also poor places with poor culture and education.

Zhang Juzheng continued: "I recommend Li Le from the Frontier Military Division to go to Yingtian Mansion to be the prefect. Li Le is a follower."

Zhang Juzheng did not recommend his cronies in the name of others, but directly spoke up and recommended Li Le to Yingtian Mansion. Gu Zhangzhi had already been escorted back to the capital, and the candidate for Yin Tianfu Yin was still pending.

"Does anyone have any objections?" Zhang Juzheng looked around, but no one refuted, and no one proposed an alternate candidate. He chose to stick a floating ticket, and asked His Majesty to stamp it with his seal.

The reason why it is so straightforward is that Zhang Juzheng’s response to the Jiangnan gentry is to obstruct the public law and hurt the ministers who are in charge. At that time, the national code will be preserved and cannot be loaned; thing.

The courtiers also understood that Yuanfu had grasped the painful feet of the powerful and wealthy gentry in Nanya, grasped the main contradiction on the ground in Nanya, and had an absolute advantage.

The main contradiction on the ground in Nanya is the contradiction between the encroachment of powerful gentry, poor coolies, and landless tenants. If Hao Jinshen wanted to flip the table again, he would lose that qualification.

But now, the imperial court demanded that the armored crossbow be returned to the fields, and it became Zhang Juzheng's absolute advantage to cut flesh with a blunt knife. The cut was slow, but he cut it painfully.

Zhang Juzheng took out another memorial and said: "I recommend the prince Taibao, the Minister of Rites, Lu Tiaoyang, a scholar of the Wuyingdian University, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and Wang Xilie, who is in charge of Zhan Shifu, as examiners. Zuo Chunfang's bachelor was in charge of the Hanlin Academy's affairs, Shen Shixing, Zuo Chunfang's Zuozhong agreed to Fan Yingqi, and Gao Qiyu, who was reviewed by the Imperial Academy, was a fellow examiner."

Zhang Juzheng had considered this list of chief examiners for the imperial examination, taking care of all aspects. Second assistants Lu Tiaoyang and Wang Xilie were the main examiners, and Shen Shixing, Fan Yingqi, and Gao Qiyu were co-examiners.

"Gao Qiyu can't do it." Ge Shouli said quite accurately: "When Gao Qiyu presided over the Yingtianfu Township Examination, the topic he gave was "Shun also ordered Yu."

The atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall immediately became solemn, the spring breeze swept Luo Mu, and the court meeting in February of the second year of Wanli immediately became tense.

In Gao Qiyu's proposition, Shun also ordered Yu, and the fate in it is the destiny of heaven, which also means that Shun handed over the destiny of heaven to Dayu.

Floods are rampant, the world is poor and poor, and Tianlu will end forever. Dayu was able to control the floods, so he got the destiny.

And the current Ming Dynasty is also riddled with holes, the world is impoverished, Tianlu is about to end, Zhang Juzheng can rule the world, does he also have the destiny?

In a nutshell, the meaning of this allusion is: the throne should belong to the virtuous, and abdication should be practiced like that between Shun and Yu.

Ge Shouli looked at Zhang Juzheng with slightly squinted eyes and said with a bad expression: "Yuanfu, Gao Qiyu, as one of Zhang's party, when Ying Tianfu presided over the township examination last year, what's the purpose of asking this question? Some things should be avoided, but instead of avoiding them, he deliberately used this as a topic, what is his intention?"

"It's not that I, Ge Shouli, have free-willed testimonials, and clung to him indiscriminately. Gao Qiyu presided over the township examination. It's too much to ask questions like this. Yuanfu said, right?"

Zhu Yijun also stopped writing and looked at the ministers at the court meeting. Zhang Juzheng, Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, finally reached the stage of his subordinates' persuasion.

There are idiots in the Jin Party, and there are self-righteous idiots in the Zhang Party.

Zhang Ju's face immediately changed, and he looked at Wan Shihe, Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Wan Shihe was a little confused. When he returned to the capital from Nanjing last year, he had already passed the provincial examination in Beiya. He really didn't know that such a person came out The moth thing.

At that time, the Minister of Rites was Lu Shusheng, so why should he, the new Minister of Rites, bear such a great pressure!

Wan Shihe was a little flustered. He thought about it seriously, stood up again, and asked a Tiqi to go to the Ministry of Rites to confirm. Not long after, Tiqi reported back, and the Ministry of Rites confirmed that there was indeed such a thing.

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng closed his eyes for a long time, stood up, flicked his sleeves, bowed five times and kowtowed three times, knelt on the ground, sighed heavily, knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. Yan, I implore you to return to your hometown and prove your heart with your ambition."

Zhang Juzheng didn't know about this at all, the provincial examination failed the court meeting, it was a matter of the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Qiyu never talked about it.

This is not to blame Gao Qiyu, even You Qi once thought that his husband wanted to be Wang Mang, not Zhuge Liang, Zhang Juzheng did not move forward, and there was an ironclad proof that someone pushed him forward.

Zhang Juzheng thought it was an ordinary matter of court discussion, but he never expected that there would be such a big thunder waiting for him.

If Zhang Juzheng told the world loudly at this time that he didn't know, would anyone believe that Zhang Juzheng didn't know?Why didn't Gao Qiyu discuss it with Zhang Juzheng for such a big matter?
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said seriously: "Mr. Yuanfu, the late emperor ordered you to be the country's prime minister. How can you bear to abandon me? What about state affairs? What about me?"

"I'm ashamed." Zhang Juzheng knelt on the ground and still couldn't get up. This was a big question of right and wrong. He never wanted to take his place.

Ge Shouli was surprised to find that he seemed to have gotten into a catastrophe!
He just didn't agree with Gao Qiyu being the same examiner, and wanted to change someone, to win a small victory against Yuanfu's usurper, and gain some prestige, but Zhang Juzheng actually made up his mind to retire.

Zhang Juzheng is gone, who will run the country?

　What Gao Qiyu did was very, very stupid, but Gao Qiyu did it.It can only be said that the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks of Daming emerge in endlessly like crucian carp crossing the river.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! !
