I'm really not doing business

Chapter 255 Sometimes, opposition is also a kind of cooperation

Zhu Yijun was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng, how could he be so decisive.

As an emperor, he had high hopes and even placed all his hopes on himself, but Zhang Juzheng could be so determined and refused to meet.

Of course Zhu Yijun could understand that, as a ruthless political machine, Zhu Yijun knew that Zhang Juzheng's purpose of doing this was to let him, the grand tutor, return to his original position.

Returning to his original position, these words are a rare opportunity for politicians who do not advance or retreat, especially those at the top. This may be the only opportunity in Zhang Juzheng's life. , collapsed back to the position of the courtier.

To sum up, Zhang Juzheng, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is abdicating, so that the Taifu and the emperor have a chance for a better ending.

Zhu Yijun can understand, if he doesn't understand, Zhang Juzheng will not be let go, but what Zhu Yijun can't accept is that he can really disappear behind closed doors, even if the courtiers ran to the door to mourn, he is really like the Buddha, read No return.

"Ci Fu, your son seems to have bitten a big fish recently and won't let go." Zhu Yijun told an interesting story and asked Wang Chonggu's son what Wang Qian had done.

"The dog is on an errand for His Majesty, and he will not tell me. I don't know what he is doing recently." Wang Chonggu looked confused. Since the last time he held Sun Jigao, Wang Qian seemed to have calmed down. This time What kind of big fish did you catch?
"If Cifu doesn't want to say it, let it go." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and chose to leave. He thought it was Wang Chonggu who didn't want to say more. Wang Chonggu was called an unjust accusation. His treacherous son started tearing into each other and refused to recognize his relatives. How could he be regarded as a relative in his eyes? father?Wang Chonggu really didn't know what Wang Qian was doing.

Furthermore, Wang Chonggu had a terrible association. Could it be that the big fish Wang Qian bit was himself?
Wang Chonggu broke out in a cold sweat as soon as this idea came to his mind. After returning to Beijing as governor from the northwest, he acted upright, but he was not upright before. If Wang Qian really dug up dirt on him, there would be some things that could be dug out. of.

It was night, when Wang Chonggu returned home, he took out the Seven-Star Dahuan Saber, and waited in the main hall, waiting for his son to come back. His Majesty had to inform him that his son had caught a big fish!
"Father, what are you doing!" Wang Qian returned home with his official hat in his arms, walked into the main hall with one foot, then slowly shrank back, looking at the old man who was sitting in the main hall holding the seven-star big ring knife in disbelief. Dad, I was thinking, whether to run now, or to ask before running.

"Come here." Wang Chonggu said calmly.

"Tell me first." Wang Qian took two steps back in fright. His father's big ring knife was so fierce that he didn't dare to get close to him. Although he couldn't beat him, the young and vigorous Wang Qian, Running or running away, who made him young?

"Can I hack you to death?" Wang Chonggu asked with a sneer.

"Yes." Wang Qian said with certainty.

"come here!"

"You speak first!"

……

Wang Chonggu put down the large ring knife and signaled Wang Qian to come in. As long as he explained clearly, he would definitely not behead him, because he was only a son. He waved to Wang Qian and said, "Come here."

"Father, what do you want to ask with this posture? I'm sure I know everything." Wang Qian said with certainty: "I didn't raise an outer room like Zhang Siwei did, and I didn't grow wild seeds outside."

"It's better for you to raise the outside house outside." Wang Chonggu sighed, raising wild seeds in the outside house is not a big deal, it's a waste of time, which dude hasn't paid a romantic debt?
Wang Chonggu told Wang Qian what His Majesty said, Wang Chonggu was very curious, who is this big fish, so His Majesty can ask him personally.

"Ah, yes, there is. Just wait for a few days, and wait for Mr. Hai's impeachment report." Wang Qian immediately relaxed, leaned back on the chair, drank his saliva, and was about to lose his legs after running all day today. It's broken, it's because of this big fish, the criminal evidence has been searched completely.

Wang Chonggu asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"I can't say." Wang Qian still shook his head and said, "Hai Zongxian said that before the formal impeachment, he was determined not to tell anyone and had to keep it secret."

"Is it me?" Wang Chonggu stopped pretending, and asked the question he was most concerned about, whether this rebellious son was hosting his father.

"After my father returned to Beijing, he was clean. His Majesty will not pursue those matters before returning to Beijing, so he is no longer my father." Wang Qian explained in great detail.

Before returning to Beijing, His Majesty cut off a strand of Wang Chonggu's hair. Whether or not to investigate and deal with it depends on whether His Majesty is willing to take out the strand of hair. Since it was clean after returning to Beijing, it would naturally not be possible.

"Nizi!" Wang Chonggu grabbed the big ring knife and said angrily: "You naughty son, you actually investigated your own father! I am your own father, and you will not be able to investigate my affairs?!"

"Unfortunate family! Give me a knife!"

Just as Wang Chonggu was about to use the knife, Wang Qian ran away. He never expected that this was a slip of the tongue, and he directly told about the secret investigation of Wang Chonggu. Hai Rui didn't believe Wang Qian at first, until Wang Qian got it. Hai Rui started to give Wang Qian more resources to investigate Wang Chonggu's bad things in the Northwest.

Wang Chonggu pursued, Wang Qian fled, and finally both of them were tired, so they calmed down calmly.

"Father, all the officials in the Jingtang have to pass the customs. This year is the year of the Jingcha, and there will be strict investigations. Once every six years, the Jingtang will pass the customs one by one. It's not my investigation, but His Majesty's investigation." Wang Qian said angrily. Panting, he said what the Metropolitan Procuratorate had done recently.

Passing through the Beijing inspection is an important part of Zhang Juzheng's reform of officialdom. The emperor is in charge of the cabinet ministers and court officials, and the court officials are in charge of the six ministries. The six ministries govern the Jingtang, and the Jingtang rules the world. It is embodied, while the capital and various places form blocks.

And the Jingcha is the inherent official system of the Ming Dynasty, and the anti-corruption of the official administration is carried out by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and everyone has to pass through.

Wang Chonggu is now the second assistant, so it is indeed difficult to investigate, but it is also the first time that his own son has dug out his own father's black information in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

"After checking this, Dad is innocent, isn't that a good thing?" Wang Qian leaned on the pillar, looking at his father who was leaning on the opposite pillar.

"Are you still reasonable?" Wang Chonggu was really exhausted. He put the big ring knife aside and began to ask what kind of big fish it was. As a minister of the cabinet, he would know about it as soon as possible. Since His Majesty Having said that, that means he is entitled to know.

"Zheng Sanpin, Wang Xijue." Wang Qian still said the name.

"Wang Xijue?!" Wang Chonggu looked like this, which was unexpected but reasonable.

Wang Qian explained in detail: "Father still remembers that some time ago, Wang Bengu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing, wrote a memorial, saying that he wanted the court to kill Lin Afeng, because when Wang Bengu was the governor of Zhejiang, because of The conflict with Hu Zongxian and the court strife killed the pirate Wang Zhi."

"After Wang Bengu became an official, he heard about Lin Afeng's affairs, so he went up to play, provoking His Majesty to investigate whether Wang Bengu was corrupt. This case was easily handled, but nothing was found and closed."

"The closing of the case itself was hard to get, but the child did not stop monitoring him. Sure enough, after the wind subsided, the problem was discovered."

"A broker-comprador who often came and went to Wang Bengu's mansion caught my attention. This broker-comprador had stopped looking for Wang Bengu for several months, but recently, this broker-comprador went to Wang Bengu's house and pulled According to the calculation of the rut marks, the car is full of silver."

"The servants in the house who were bribed by me confirmed that it was indeed silver."

"Following the clues, I found out that the money came from Wang Xijue."

Wang Chonggu asked suspiciously: "Where did Wang Xijue get the money? He is a clean person and does not hold power. Where can he get the money for Wang Bengu?"

"I want to know too, that's why I continued to investigate." Wang Qian said with a smile. In the court, Wang Xijue regarded himself as a clean stream, but the terrifying scale of his southern suburb garden was really shocking.

"I don't know if I don't check it. I'm shocked when I check it. Do you know, father? Then Wang Xijue has a mansion of more than ten acres in Beijing! Ten acres of land!" Wang Qian stretched out his hands and said loudly: "Ten acres The land, in the west city."

The Quanchu Guild Hall is 20 mu, the Quanjin Guild Hall is also [-] mu, and the Quanzhe Guild Hall is only more than [-] mu after the expansion in the past two years. You must know that this is the Guild Hall, which is a place for students to stay in Beijing. The main buildings It is not a private house, but a house open to the public.

The scale of ten acres of land is already terrifying.

"Good guy! Where did this guy get so much money!" Wang Chonggu asked with his brows furrowed.

Living in Beijing Normal University is not easy, where is the difficulty?

For example, Bai Juyi has his own home in the capital, and he still has his own house in the capital because of Conglong's merits until he is 50 years old. That is the great poet Bai Juyi, and he is still living with Conglong's achievements.

For example, Su Zhe, Su Shi’s younger brother in the Northern Song Dynasty, reached the highest position of Zaizhi, and failed to buy real estate in Kaifeng Mansion until he became an official. Su Zhe saved money all his life, and finally lent the money to Su Shi to buy a house, and he still rented a house.

Later, Su Zhe was demoted and still had no money to buy a house. The reason why he lent the money to Su Shi was that Su Shi was rejected by his son because the capital had no house.

Ten mu of land in Xicheng cost at least more than one hundred thousand taels of silver. Even if you worked in Yuanfu's position for a lifetime, you wouldn't be able to buy a house with your salary.

This is the difficulty of living in Beijing Normal University.

"Your Majesty built an [-]-acre Yicheng Bo Mansion for Mr. Zhang in Xishan. Is it really okay?" Wang Qian asked weakly. No one said such an extravagant move. Some doubts.

"Wan Shihe, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, explained the reason, but Wan Shihe couldn't be quarreled with, so naturally no one said it." Wang Chonggu answered his son's question.

Wang Qian asked curiously: "How did the Heavenly Official win the argument?"

"In a word, the older Wan Laoguan, the more talkative he is." Wang Chonggu said with great emotion, and briefly recounted a short conversation in the Wenhua Palace.

Wan Shihe is good at ending arguments with one sentence. As for the controversy over building a mansion for Mr. Zhang, Wan Shihe said: Is Mr. Zhang far inferior to Guo Ziyi?

This sentence directly killed the game.

Guo Ziyi's Fenyang Palace covers an area of ​​1450 acres. You must know that the Ming Dynasty Palace only covers a total of 1080 acres, while Zhang Juzheng's Yicheng Prince's Mansion in Xishan covers only 800 acres including mountains and forests. Where is this?It's not that Zhang Juzheng himself wasn't happy, the emperor also planned to expand the Yicheng residence, at least 1451 acres.The emperor always had a strange desire to win, which gave Mr. Zhang a headache.

For example, the Yicheng Bo’s Mansion had to be one mu larger than the Fenyang Prince’s Mansion. Of course, the emperor failed, because only Zhang Juzheng could stop His Majesty. This is generally agreed that Zhang Juzheng can really stop him In the end, Yicheng Bo's Mansion only had [-] acres, which did not allow His Majesty's strange desire to win or lose.

The eight hundred acres of land are mainly mountains and forests. In fact, the living area is only more than 30 acres. This is enough for Zhang Juzheng to accommodate all his family members.

The reason why Guo Ziyi’s Fenyang Palace is to build 1450 mu of land is to bring his whole family to the capital, so that the whole family will be under the emperor’s nose, so that the emperor can rest assured that Guo Ziyi’s reorganization will not be delayed. Tangshan River.

Guo Ziyi did it, but he did not completely restore the country, because after his death, the feudal towns that feared him began to rebel.

Guo Ziyi was able to do everything he could in that precarious age, and the emperor of Tang Dynasty also suspected Guo Ziyi, but he didn't dare to do it, so Guo Ziyi couldn't do his best.

Zhang Juzheng's Yicheng Mansion was built for exactly the same purpose, to put his whole family in front of the emperor, so that the emperor could feel at ease and the world could feel at ease.

Guo Ziyi is from an aristocratic family, Zhang Juzheng's father is just a student, and his family has a hereditary position of a thousand households, but he has not been able to inherit it, so it really doesn't need to be so big.

Wan Shihe blocked everyone's words from two aspects, and the Yicheng Bofu began to be established.

Yicheng Bo’s Mansion is in Xishan, and the land there is completely different from that in Xicheng. Therefore, Wang Chonggu was surprised. Where did Wang Xijue get the money to build a manor? It’s nothing more than building a garden in his hometown. There are ten acres of land!

Wang Chonggu is now the leader of the Jin Party, and he still lives in his own home for the time being. However, the Jin Guild Hall has a total area of ​​[-] acres, which was built over many years, and the area of ​​his private house is less than [-] acres.

"He came from greed." Wang Qian shook his head and said, "Isn't he in charge of the Imperial Supervisor? That's a big silver mine."

Guozijian, the highest institution of learning in Ming Dynasty, as the supervisor of the Guozi, Wang Xijue took advantage of his position to let go of his hand a little, and he could get a lot of money. Therefore, Wang Xijue disliked Zhang Juzheng very much, because Zhang Juzheng rectified his studies and politics, which made Wang Xijue frightened and frightened to take money. Not going well.

As a supervisor in charge of the Imperial College, there are too many ways to get money. Wang Chonggu can’t count all of them for a while, such as the dining hall of the Imperial College, the purchase of the Imperial College, the admission of the Imperial College, the apprenticeship of the Imperial College, the rural examination of the Imperial College All sorts of things that don't even need to be specialized.

In Daming, power itself is a wealth more precious than gold and silver.

As Zhang Juzheng engaged in official governance, the emperor began to pick up the magic sword of Hai Rui and began to fight against corruption, which directly harmed Wang Xijue's vital interests.

You, Zhang Juzheng, accepted bribes from military officers, what will happen to me, Wang Xijue?
"It's your own fault." Wang Chonggu shook his head. When he was released from prison, he had just said a few words about Wang Xijue. Wang Chonggu, who was in the prison, had heard about the extravagance of his large garden in the southern suburbs, and Wang Xijue was unmoved. It's not that you don't know that you can't build a relationship, it's that there is no turning back.

In fact, Wang Qian didn't finish talking, it was just about corruption, and Wang Xijue was at most to the extent of being dismissed and returned to his hometown, but Wang Xijue's biggest problem needs to be carefully investigated and dealt with.

"Actually, Your Majesty gave Wang Xijue a chance." Wang Qian said with a complex expression, "But Wang Xijue didn't catch it himself. When our father and son were in the sky prison, because there were many rumors, His Majesty summoned Wang Xijue because of the Nanjiaoyuan incident. Take Jie Jinze Garden as an example, and admonish Wang Xijue."

"If at that time Wang Xijue made an apology and handed over the money, His Majesty would not pursue it any further."

"Although your majesty is bloodthirsty, violent, and moody, your majesty is a good man. He is still the minister of vitality in his country. He is unwilling to tear his face directly, but Wang Xijue is a bit shameless."

Who is His Majesty's handling method like?Like Zhang Juzheng.

Back then when Wu Baipeng reported Wang Chonggu, Ma Fang and others in announcing the Great Wall Dingjian case, Zhang Juzheng threw a series of combined punches and almost killed Wang Chonggu directly, but in the end Zhang Juzheng gave Wang Chonggu a chance to go back to the northwest.

Wang Chonggu couldn't help shivering. Going back to the Xuan Mansion to block the hole in the Xuan Great Wall Dingjian seemed to be the only chance to change in his life. He seized it, but Wang Xijue didn't seem to grasp it.

"Give him a chance, he's useless!" Wang Chonggu was quite fortunate. When he returned to Xuanda, he was afraid of Zhang Juzheng's methods and blocked the hole built by Xuanda Ding, otherwise the grass on his grave would be two feet high now. No, it's not clear whether there is a grave, maybe it will be hung by the Tonghui River, and become a sinner who hangs his corpse through the ages.

The sinners with hanging corpses are the sinners who were beheaded one by one by the Tonghui River.

"Dad is still awake at this critical moment. Oops, let's get two bottles of sweet potatoes and cook them. Let's have a drink. We are happy today!" Wang Chonggu was in a very good mood. He finally sorted out the context of why he was forgiven.

The emperor and Zhang Juzheng have emphasized countless times that the one who saved Wang Chonggu was Wang Chonggu himself. It's just that Wang Chonggu hadn't figured it out until now. It's a matter of life and death. How can it be so easy to see through the fog and see the essence of the matter clearly? ?
I don't know the true face of Lushan, I am only in this mountain.

"Sweet potato burn?" Wang Qian was a little puzzled. Is there such a wine?
"It's the Guojiao given by His Majesty in the first year of Wanli. Your Majesty calls that wine Diguo Shao." Wang Chonggu explained clearly what Digua Shao is. Digua Shao is His Majesty's verbal description of Guojiao. Not many people know about it. Most people know it. People call it Guojiao.

The next day, Hai Rui's impeachment memorial directly destroyed the entire capital.

When Zhang Siwei was investigated and punished, he was in charge of the affairs of the government. However, everyone knew that Zhang Siwei was disliked by His Majesty and had no power. Zhang Siwei, a third-rank official, was too weak to be called a minister of vitality.

However, Wang Xijue is the real minister of the third grade of vitality, and he is also the most powerful person who has held the highest official position since Wanli. Moreover, the evidence of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is solid, and Wang Xijue's sophistry cannot be tolerated. Wang Xijue was taken away by Ti Shuai Zhao Mengyou.

The emperor has long known that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is investigating Wang Xijue. This is a process. The process is very important. The General Constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate presides over the investigation and handling of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He will submit an impeachment memorial, a memorial to the cabinet, the ministers will post floating votes, and the ceremony will be held. The supervisor approves the case, and the emperor reviews and seals it, which is a complete case handling process.

Zhu Yijun has never committed a murder without following the procedures. Even when he went to the poetry club and snatched Chen Youren away with his own hands, he still went through a complete procedure.

A very rule-abiding, but very rebellious emperor, this is where the courtiers have no way to start. The emperor handles the case, it is a bit impeccable, he puts everything in front, and even intercedes carefully.

"Wang Xijue's biggest problem is getting to know the Japanese." Hai Rui opened his mouth and got to the point directly, explaining that Wang Xijue's crime is not as simple as corruption, but getting to know the Japanese, and it's not indirect, it's directly related to the Daimyo Island of the Japanese Kingdom. Jin Yijiu has contacts, and the contacts are extremely frequent and close.

Shimadzu Yoshihisa has been coveting Ryukyu for a long time, and the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom has repeatedly asked Daming for help, but was stopped by Wang Xijue. From Wang Xijue's point of view, Ming should not interfere too much in the conflict between feudal states and feudal states. , is of no benefit to Daming.

This idea is not wrong, but the imperial court has determined to intervene in Ryukyu's increasingly serious Japanese invasion. Wang Xijue still blocks the Ryukyu envoy's request for help, which is a matter of stance.

"Wang Xijue's charge of treason with the Japanese is actually open to question." As the referee, Zhu Yijun still did not think that Wang Xijue had betrayed the interests of the Ming Dynasty. The strength of the Ming Dynasty navy at this time still did not have the strength to defeat the Ryukyu Japanese pirates. The main task was still Ming Dynasty coastal defense.

Wang Xijue was a minister with real power in the court. He did not want the Ming Dynasty to participate too much in the disputes between the vassal states. He generously used the Ming Dynasty's national power to support foreign vassals and would rather give foreign invaders than domestic slaves. In Wang Xijue's view, it was not a good thing. Of course Ryukyu has its own interests, but it makes no difference to the Ming Dynasty whether they are Japanese pirates or Ryukyu people on the three Ryukyu islands.

Therefore, in Zhu Yijun's opinion, the charge of collaborating with Japanese does not count as colluding with Japanese in a strict sense.

Convictions must be rigorous, Zhu Yijun is indeed bloodthirsty, Zhang Siwei and his accomplices had 728 people, Zhang Juzheng left the court, 26 Beijing officials were executed, and Nanya Commander Luo Bingliang ransacked countless homes, and a group of people will be executed here.

However, if Wang Xijue is charged with Tongwa, if he really relies on Tongwa, it is not a bad idea. After all, Wang Xijue has direct contact with Shimadzu Yoshihisa, and Xu Wei also confirmed this in Nagasaki.

Then when Xu Wei was in Nagasaki and everyone went to the Japanese country, does that count as communicating with the Japanese?
"I do not agree with what Your Majesty said." Wan Shihe objected. This wallflower who was good at riding on the wall and fell down when hearing His Majesty's wind directly opposed what His Majesty said. This was a rare scene, so that all The courtiers all looked at Wan Shihe.

Dazai Wan, when did you become so brave, dare to oppose the emperor!
"Tell me in detail, Dazai." Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe and asked him to explain the reason. The little emperor did not become angry because of Wan Shihe's objection, but asked Wan Shihe's opinion. If you are angry, what else is the court discussing?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that Wang Xijue has the knowledge of the Japanese, because the Wang family of Taiyuan, who moved to Taicang, Suzhou, has been a sea merchant for generations. Since the Song Dynasty, he has gone to sea to sell goods to and from the Japanese country. There are countless Japanese silver. Wang Xijue has the knowledge of the Japanese. In fact, it also has the benefit of communicating with the Japanese, so please make a clear decision." Wan Shihe explained his thoughts in detail.

If Wang Xijue did not benefit from blocking the Ryukyu envoy's request for help, it can certainly be determined that he did not understand the Japanese and was purely political. Except for Mr. Zhang's fault, others can be discussed, and Wang Xijue's position is also reasonable.

However, Wang Xijue's family has been engaged in maritime trade for generations, and profiting from it is not just a political opinion, but a pursuit of personal gain, so he must be considered a traitor to the Japanese.

This is the reason stated by Wan Shihe. In terms of characterization, Wan Shihe has his own set of etiquette standards.

"Wan Dazai is indeed the Minister of Vitality, but I don't think much about it." Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, and Wan Shihe once again made Zhu Yijun look at him with admiration. This old Wan, this way of judging is very reasonable, and interests can judge positions.

It's not that Zhu Yijun didn't understand, but he had to make enough gestures. The Minister of Vitality needed the emperor's protection. Zhu Yijun made this gesture. If no one objected, the matter of Wang Xijue's communication with the Japanese might have been handled in such a vague way.

But Wan Shihe made it clear that he couldn't turn a blind eye when it was time to cooperate with the performance. Wan Shihe and the emperor had a very tacit understanding.

Sometimes, opposition is also a kind of cooperation.

Not only that, Wan Shihe proved one thing, that is, after Zhang Juzheng left the court, His Majesty didn't lose his protection and flaunted his teeth and claws, bluffing himself to protect himself. His Majesty can also listen to objections, but he must be reasonable. yes.

"Your Majesty, I think what Dazai Wan said is justified." Hai Rui also expressed his position. The main reason why he was impeached was the accusation of colluding with Japanese officials, and it was also out of this consideration. You can have a position, but you can't harm the public interest. Self-interest is not a position anymore, it is seeking self-interest, rent-seeking for power, not loyalty to the monarch and the country, and honest ministers.

After Hai Rui's appraisal, Wang Xijue was not honest and upright.

"Wan Dazai is still suitable to be the eldest uncle." Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, admired Wan Shihe. Wan Shihe was not a groveling and flattering minister. He had his own set of criteria for judging. As for whether to cooperate, Ma Ziqiang took it. No, but Wan Shihe's attainments in etiquette really impressed Ma Ziqiang.

In terms of etiquette, my current incumbent is still not as good as my predecessor.

"Wang Xijue has the ability to communicate with the Japanese, and he also has the advantage of communicating with the Japanese. I think it is appropriate to deal with the Japanese." Wang Chonggu expressed his position and looked at Lu Tiaoyang.

Lu Tiaoyang wrote the word Tongwo on the floating ticket, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty said so."

Lu Tiaoyang could see clearly that His Majesty was just trying to take advantage of the situation, and his real attitude was to deal with the Japanese.

　Opposition is indeed a kind of cooperation when you want to refuse and welcome.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! !
