The Master of Time and Space, Earn three small goals with blood at the beginning

Zhang Mansion.

Zhang Juzheng did not fall asleep. At this moment, he was playing chess with his friend Tan Lun and talking about government affairs.

“The Strict Party has finally fallen. Although it was not our fault, the disintegration of the Strict Party is still a pleasant thing.” Tan Lun said while making a move, “In the future, we will have less constraints when doing things. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: “Although His Majesty abolished the Yan Party, he still protected some officials of the Yan Party. However, Yan Maoqing, Zhao Wenhua and Luo Longwen were all dismissed. Hu Zongxian and others did not move.”

Tan Lun said: “This shows that your Majesty still has the country in his heart. Yan Maoqing, Luo Longwen and others are loyal lackeys of the Strict Party. They bring disaster to the country and the people, so they cannot be retained. But Hu Zongxian and others, although they are members of the Strict Party, are also capable ministers and officials. ”

“Especially Hu Zongxian, who is currently supporting half of the situation in the southeast and cannot be moved. If Hu Zongxian is gone, the situation in the southeast will inevitably deteriorate.”

“Nowadays, our Ming Dynasty relies heavily on the southeast for its finances, and water transportation also transports materials to the capital from the southeast.”

“If there is trouble in the southeast, Ming Dynasty will be in danger!”

Zhang Juzheng sighed and said: “Your Majesty is talented and intelligent. At a young age, he was able to convince the ministers with great gifts. He also accomplished a lot by appointing wise ministers back then.”

“It is a shame that Yan Songfengjun misled His Majesty for his evil deeds, which led to the weakening of discipline and discipline over the years. The Ming Dynasty was full of ills and the country was on the verge of collapse.”

“Now that His Majesty has successfully cultivated Taoism, he has regained his youth, and his vigor seems to have returned. He has dealt with the Yan Party quickly, and I believe that His Majesty will make big moves in the next period of time.”

Tan Lun said sadly: “I am really worried. Daming is like a terminally ill patient now. I hope to cure the disease and save people, but I am also afraid that the medicine will be too strong and harm the patient.”

While the two were expressing their opinions on government affairs, Zhang Juzheng’s housekeeper hurried over and said, “Master, someone is coming from the palace!”

Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun looked at each other.

It’s so late, why did the palace send people here?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Zhang Juzheng did not dare to neglect and stood up quickly, preparing to meet the people in the palace.

There was no need for Zhang Juzheng to go see him, because Chen Hong had already barged in directly with several eunuchs.

“Eunuch Chen?” Zhang Juzheng was a little surprised.

Chen Hong glanced at Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, but did not pay attention to Tan Lun. His eyes fell on Zhang Juzheng and said: “The Holy Father has decreed that Zhang Juzheng come to Longevity Palace to see me immediately. I admire this.”

After speaking, Chen Hong said: “Mr. Zhang Ge, let’s go. Don’t keep your Majesty waiting.”

Zhang Juzheng has now entered the cabinet. Chen Hong was somewhat polite to Zhang Juzheng. When he read the oral edict, he did not care about Zhang Juzheng’s etiquette.

Zhang Juzheng glanced at Tan Lun, and both of them felt confused.

But since it was the emperor’s summons, Zhang Juzheng had no choice but to go, so he said, “Please, Eunuch Chen, lead the way.”

In the Longevity Palace.

“Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat, and thousands of trees spring in front of the diseased trees.” Jiang Hao read the poem and walked out of the curtain.

He should have sensed that Zhang Juzheng was coming.

Sure enough, not long after, Chen Hong came with Zhang Juzheng.

“Your Majesty Zhang Juzheng, please see my emperor. My emperor may live forever.” Zhang Juzheng knelt down and said.

The rules in the Ming Dynasty were strict, and the relationship between ministers and emperors no longer had the relatively equal personality of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The etiquette between the monarch and his ministers must be strictly abided by.

“Pingshen.” Jiang Hao said, “Go and get a stool for Mr. Zhang Ge.”

“promise.”

Soon, someone from the palace brought a stool.

“Sit down, you’re welcome.” Jiang Hao sat down opposite Zhang Juzheng and gestured.

Zhang Juzheng was cautious and only sat on half of his buttocks, showing a slight restraint.

“I wonder what important business your Majesty summoned here late at night?” Zhang Juzheng asked.

Jiang Haodao: “I heard that Mr. Zhangge has great ambitions to reform the ills. I have succeeded in practicing Taoism and can finally take care of state affairs. When I see the situation in the Ming Dynasty, I am simply shocked.”

“Today’s Ming Dynasty has reached a point where it is necessary to change. Xu Jie is old and is just a licorice country elder. Licorice can be used as a placebo, but it cannot save the country.”

“I need people like Shang Yang and Wang Anshi to start a revolution with me.”

“Rectify the administration of officials, get rid of the ills, and clarify the world!”

“You are very young and have the potential of Shang Yang and Wang Anshi. I am optimistic about you!”

Jiang Hao’s words shocked and frightened Zhang Juzheng.

Surprisingly, the emperor was very aware of his thoughts.

To his horror, the emperor compared him to Shang Yang and Wang Anshi.

Shang Yang’s reform was a great success, but he was torn apart by a chariot and died.

The Song Dynasty treated scholar-bureaucrats favorably, and Wang Anshi was only dismissed as prime minister. However, Wang Anshi, a generation of literary emperors, ended up with a posthumous reputation that was only slightly better than that of Qin Hui.

Mainly, Northern Song Dynasty

It was destroyed. The Southern Song Dynasty wanted to learn the lessons of the country’s destruction. It could not attribute the responsibility to the two emperors of Huiqin, so it had to find a worthy minister to take the blame.

Wang Anshi has enough weight, and the reform is not really successful, so he is suitable to take the blame.

So there is a saying that “the Northern Song Dynasty died at the hands of Wang Anshi”.

To this day, Wang Anshi’s posthumous reputation is not very good, and he is considered a traitor. Even those who do not regard him as a traitor still think that Wang Anshi was too radical and must bear a large historical responsibility for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Both Shang Yang and Wang Anshi ended badly.

Although Zhang Juzheng is not afraid of encountering such an end, he does not want to be compared with Shang Yang and Wang Anshi.

Moreover, the emperor’s intention was so shocking that Zhang Juzheng didn’t know how to answer, so he remained silent.

Jiang Hao smiled and said: “Your name is Taiyue, and Taiyue is as heavy as Mount Tai. Death is inevitable for everyone, and it may be lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. I hope you are a person who is heavier than Mount Tai.”

“Wang Anshi said that destiny is not enough to be feared, people’s words are not enough to be compassionate, and ancestors are not enough to follow the law. To create a great cause that has never been seen in ancient times, one must have earth-shattering courage and responsibility.”

“Today’s Ming Dynasty is about to usher in a change. Even without you Zhang Taiyue, I will not stop. If you Zhang Taiyue don’t have such ambitions, you can leave now. I can understand you.”

Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath and said loudly: “Since Your Majesty has the ambition to reform, I am willing to go to great lengths to achieve His Majesty’s grand plan!”

“Reformation? Although Zhou is an old state, its destiny is to be reformed.” Jiang Hao said, “I really want to launch a reform. You summed it up well. Taiyue, you are a knowledgeable person. Tell me about the shortcomings of today’s Ming Dynasty. , I want to take a look at your vision.”

Zhang Juzheng said: “I believe that the number one shortcoming of the Ming Dynasty is taxation! If taxation is not reformed, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!”

Jiang Hao said: “Please elaborate.”

Jiang Hao was very satisfied with Zhang Juzheng’s answer. For any organization or any country, how to develop financial resources and how to spend money are the most important things.

For a country, if it has money, it can do things, and if it can do things, it will not be destroyed.

The collapse of the imperial court often begins with the collapse of finances.
