General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 66 The Confusion of the Jiajing Dynasty
"Then you moved the books away?"

Zhu Zaiyu stared at Gao Zhong who was kneeling in front of him with sullen expression.

Gao Zhong looked troubled.

"Your Highness, the minister is also following orders."

Zhu Zaiyu didn't bother to talk to Gao Zhong, and then looked at Zhang Juzheng who was already wearing Congwupin's robe.

"Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "The minister is here."

Zhu Zaishun's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Gao Zhong.

"Eunuch Gao, aren't you going out?"

"Your Highness, subject, by order, this... you are a small fire who studies ink."

Zhu Zailong took a deep breath.

"Cheng, Mr. Zhang, I have figured out the real culprit behind the Renyin Palace Change..."

Before Zhu Zaiyu could finish speaking, Gao Zhong fell to his knees with a "plop".

Zhu Zaisheng snorted coldly, and looked at Gao Zhong with great interest.

"Gao Gonggong, why don't you study ink anymore?"

Gao Zhong cried and lowered his head and said: "Chen, I have a stomachache, go out and respect, and please forgive me, Your Highness."

If you hear something you shouldn't hear later, it will be too late to pretend to be stupid.

For Gao Zhong, knowing nothing is the greatest blessing.

Seeing Gao Zhong leaving the bedroom as if fleeing, Zhu Zaiyu sat down resentfully.

A bitter smile appeared on Zhang Juzheng's face.

"Your Highness, why are you bothering?"

When this matter was mentioned, Zhu Zaiyu felt a little angry again.

"But I just can't figure it out. The father and the powerful family in the southeast are fighting in the court hall with knives, but why every knife is cut on the people in the southeast?"

"The Shi family won, and the people in the southeast are their slaves. The emperor wanted to abolish the sea ban, but he dispatched the most elite soldiers of Ming Dynasty to the southeast sea ban to cut off the people's way of life."

"Mr. Zhang, don't you think this is absurd?"

Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhu Zaixun blankly.

Only then did Zhu Zaiyong tell the whole story of Renyinnian that he knew.

However, after figuring out the ins and outs of the whole matter, Zhang Juzheng was also stunned for a long time, but Zhu Zaishun chanted a poem.

"Where the sad Qin and Han scriptures traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been turned into dirt."

What Zhu Zaiyu said was about temple disputes, but more about fear.

Once upon a time, his dream was to become an emperor like Jiajing, but now, what Zhu Zaishun feared was that he would become another Jiajing.

Knowing the son is like knowing the father, so how can the son not know the father.

"But no matter what, it's better to be prosperous than to die. The people in the prosperous age of Wen Jing are better than the troubled times in the north and south."

At this time, Zhang Juzheng was just a Jinshi who had just won, but Zhang Juzheng, who was not involved in it, could see the clue behind this matter.

"The minister often said that there is no such thing as a monarch in the world. This may be biased, but in terms of facts, I still feel that this matter is not that simple."

Zhang Juzheng was born in the fourth year of Jiajing.

His childhood was almost spent during the most peaceful period of the Jiajing Dynasty.

Perhaps it is due to inertial thinking, or talent.

Zhang Juzheng keenly sensed something was wrong behind this matter.

It's like a group of children robbing the rocking car at the entrance of the supermarket, you can laugh it off, but if it's a group of adults robbing the rocking cart at the entrance of the supermarket, you have to at least observe whether there is any bear kid throwing the New Year's money in the supermarket. The seat is on.

After what Zhang Juzheng said, Zhu Zaishun's brain also calmed down a little.

"It's a pity that Master Ning is not in the East Palace."

As the crown prince, Zhu Zaixun, the first education he received was to listen and understand.

Especially when meeting a courtier like Ning Jue whose thinking is completely different from ordinary people, the more Zhu Zaishun wants to listen to Ning Jue's opinion at such a time.

"Your Highness, why don't you go to Father Jun and have a good chat."

Before Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, Zhu Zaishun said angrily: "I won't go."

Seeing Zhu Zaixun's appearance, Zhang Juzheng was also helpless.

Zhang Juzheng was not in a hurry, he was a father and son, and Jiajing had no intention of abolishing his establishment, Ning Jue's entry into the East Palace was nothing more than ten or thirty days' difference.

"Then, can you find Brother Ning for Your Highness?"

What Zhu Zaizhen was waiting for was Zhang Juzheng's words, as if he was afraid that Zhang Juzheng would regret it.

"Please also ask Mr. Zhang to enter the palace early tomorrow! I can't help it, so I won't send it off."

Zhang Juzheng's face twitched slightly.

Good guy, you are being polite to me!
Zhang Juzheng didn't care, after all, he was also curious about what Ning Jue thought of this matter.

The New Year is approaching, not only in the palace, but also outside the city. Zhang Juzheng knew that Ning Jue was alone, so he bought some New Year's goods for Ning Jue.

When Zhang Juzheng arrived at the door of Ning Jue's house, he found that Ning Jue was eating lunch in the tea shed at the door of the house.

Zhang Juzheng hurried forward and cupped his hands.

"Brother Ning, Mr. Zhang is here to bother you again."

Ning Jue only had a few fried dough sticks and a bowl of white porridge in front of him, with a deep fried dough stick in his mouth and nunuzui.

"Uncle, do you want one?"

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, I'm here to bring you New Year's goods for Brother Ning, shall we talk again when we go home?"

Ning Jue didn't care, and with a wry smile, he casually took out a dozen copper coins and slapped them on the table.

"Boss, check out."

"Hey, just put it there, the little ones will be collected later."

They are all neighbors in the neighborhood, and the shopkeeper didn't pay much attention to it, so Ning Jue left as much as he left.

"Ning was fined for one year. If it weren't for the uncle, I don't know how to live this year."

Zhang Juzheng gave a helpless wry smile and said: "Brother Ning, why is he so elegant, eating on the street."

Ning Jue thought to himself, I don't eat out, so why don't you make it for me?
But Ning Jue didn't dare to say this, for fear that Zhang Juzheng would really send him two cooks tomorrow.

"It's nothing, this shopkeeper is very unlucky, take care of him if you can."

Zhang Juzheng had a wry smile on his face when he heard the words.

"He sells tea at a stall here, he is unrestrained and unrestrained, how unlucky can he be? Was he knocked down by the official?"

"Someone rented his shop for a day, and then he was arrested by Jin Yiwei and locked up for half a month. That person hasn't paid the rent yet."

Zhang Juzheng was silent.

As soon as he entered the door, Ning Jue resentfully walked to the stove, opened the stuffy stove, grabbed a handful of fried soybeans, and said with a smack of tongue: "Speaking of which, Uncle, what is it that you came to see me today? "

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile when he heard the words: "Zhang heard some things about the Renyin Year in the Imperial Academy, is Ning brother interested?"

Hearing this, Ning suddenly became interested.

"Details."

"Besides Xia Yan and Empress Xiaolie, another family participated in the palace change that year."

"who?"

"Simen Xie family, Mr. Xie Wenzheng's family."

Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath, and sighed helplessly: "Zhang really can't figure out how this Haili can make so many people go forward and follow him."

This is a question that Zhang Juzheng can't figure out.

For thousands of years, all the rich and prosperous lands in the world have already been turned into kings.

Even if a few small countries became upstarts, it wouldn't mess up Daming like this.

Zhang Juzheng didn't understand it, Jiajing didn't understand it, even Tao Shixian, Yan Shifan, the whole Ming Dynasty didn't understand it, from the temple to the common people.

Isn't it just a few small countries, why is it here?
