Since the fall of Feng Bao, the eunuchs in the twenty-four yamen of the inner court no longer dare to ignore Zhu Yijun, but only follow Zhu Yijun's orders.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun can use his power to do many things, such as arranging eunuchs to pass some messages on his behalf, or investigating something, without having to worry about someone like Feng Bao trying to stop him in the name of making Queen Mother Li unhappy. Him, or ask him to do something in the name of making Queen Mother Li happy.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun could already arrange what Zhang Jing would say to the courtiers in foreign dynasties.
Of course, because Zhu Yijun was still a young emperor, even if he asked Zhang Jing to pass on his edict to foreign officials, the foreign officials would only regard this meaning as Zhang Juzheng's.
But they only thought that Zhang Jing and other eunuchs were Zhang Juzheng's people.
After all, Xiao Wanli trusted Zhang Juzheng so much that he even let Zhang Juzheng deal with his eldest companion Feng Bao, and even tolerated Zhang Juzheng's rejection of some of the Queen Mother's opinions. This shows how much Zhang Juzheng was trusted by Xiao Wanli.
Therefore, who of the other eunuchs in the inner court dared to go against Zhang Juzheng, and why should they only obey Zhang Juzheng's orders?
Naturally, only the eunuchs around Zhu Yijun and a very few people around Zhang Juzheng knew that it was not the emperor who was young and naive who believed in his husband Zhang Juzheng, but the emperor who did this deliberately.
Therefore, people who are dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng are naturally waiting for Wanli to grow up.
Xu Fan, who was on his way to exile, was also thinking about what his father said, that is, "wait for the emperor to grow up, and wait for the son to maintain the country."
He never thought he would be reduced to this.
Qi Jiguang learned that Xu Jie's eldest son, Xu Fan, was coming to his place to surrender a few days before Wang Yongji took Xu Fan into captivity.
Therefore, Qi Jiguang had no choice but to take the initiative to ask Wang Yong after he learned about it: "I wonder if Yuan Fu has anything to say to Mr. Xu. How should he deal with his humble position when Mr. Xu is here in exile?"
"Your Majesty's question is just right. The Holy Will requires me to convey Yuan Fu's words to you."
Wang Yongji replied with a smile.
"Holy will?"
Qi Jiguang was a little stunned after hearing this, but then he understood, and bowed his hands: "Yuan Jing respectfully accepts Yuan Fujun's order."
"Mr. Xu is Mr. Xu, Xu Fan is Xu Fan."
After Wang Yongji said that, he said: "These are Yuan Fu's original words. In addition, the factory owner also conveyed something, saying that he wanted to know that your name has been posted on the screen that Yuan Fu and my soldiers gave to the emperor, and The emperor placed him in his study, looked at him every day, and drew a few more circles on his name."
Qi Jiguang nodded after hearing this, and when he heard that the emperor had noticed him, he couldn't hide his joy and straightened his chest, and said: "Thank you Yuan Fu and my soldiers for the introduction."
Then Qi Jiguang told his subordinate Chen Ziluan: "Did you hear what Yuan Fu said? Go and make arrangements so that Mr. Xu can experience the life of being in the army."
Chen Ziluan said yes and walked away.
After Chen Ziluan left, Wang Yongji said again: "I have something to tell you. The examination method presided over by Yuan Fu is imperative. For this reason, Mr. Xu has also obtained a guarantee. This year The Ministry of War will conduct strict examinations for all general soldiers in the world, set a fair example, and ensure that internal affairs reform does not lead to foreign aggression. After all, Jizhou is very critical."
"Please rest assured, my soldier, Yuan Jing does not dare to slack off. If any troops sneak past Jizhou without orders from the Ministry of War, Yuan Jing is willing to die to apologize!"
Qi Jiguang promised.
Wang Yongji laughed: "In this way, my mission for this trip has been completed. Next, I just ask you to take me around and ask about the price of food and the situation of winter clothes."
"please!"
Xu Fan had been looking at Qi Jiguang and Wang Yongji from a distance at this time, paying no attention to them, and couldn't help but sigh: "No one really takes me seriously anymore."
Snapped!
As soon as he finished saying this to himself, he felt a stinging pain in his back, and then heard a crisp sound.
Then, Xu Fan felt like his back was burning again.
Xu Fan couldn't help but turn around and looked at the whip-wielding sergeant with blazing eyes: "You!"
"This is called a killing whip!"
At this time, Chen Ziluan who was also here said something and said: "Everyone who comes to join the army must be whipped first, so as to know the pain, so as not to be whipped again if he is not active in work! So, if If you don’t work actively, you will get whipped like this.”
With that said, Chen Ziluan pointed to the unfinished side wall opposite, which was the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and said: "You go there and follow them to move bricks until it gets dark, and someone will bring you food."
"yes!"
Xu Fan sobbed and climbed up the mountain honestly.
But although Xu Fan was fat and big-eared, he was not overstretched. In addition, the bricks used to build the side wall, which would become the Great Wall in later generations, were heavy and large, so he couldn't lift it for a while.
Seeing this, Chen Ziluan had to find an old soldier who also came here to join the army to carry it with him. This was actually considered as taking care of him.
But Xu Fan also found it difficult. He didn't lift it for long before he collapsed to the ground. It wasn't until Chen Ziluan came over to whip him with a whip that he had to grit his teeth and continue to persevere. When he went to bed at night, he still couldn't bear it when he thought of what happened during the day. On the ground, he hugged the quilt and cried, gritting his teeth and said: "Zhang Juzheng! I will fuck your ancestors!"
…
The capital at this time.
As the new year is approaching, the formal examination for internal and external officials has begun according to the new examination system.
And because Hai Rui did not agree to speak for the Sixth Section, and Xu Jie also wrote a letter to his old members in Beijing soon, the exam went smoothly, and many incompetencies were actually found out.
But under this circumstance, Zhang Juzheng, who was staying up late at the cabinet to listen to the report on the six subjects and six departments and the results of the examinations of the two colleges, five temples, one prison and two colleges, suddenly couldn't help coughing. After he finished coughing, he gave the order Continue reading the six subjects.
"The six departments have found a total of 237 unfinished official duties this year, involving 54 people including Fengyang Governor Wang Zongmu and Inspector Zhang Genghua."
Luo Zun reluctantly continued to read.
"so much?"
Zhao Zhenji, who had already arrived in the capital as a cabinet minister, couldn't help but ask a question first, and then said sternly: "We should all be dismissed first!"
"inappropriate!"
At this time, Zhang Juzheng stopped him first and said: "Even if he is dismissed, he should wait until Quan can find a replacement. It is even better to give him a chance to defend himself."
"Why are you asking him to defend himself like this *********?!"
Zhao Zhenji replied.
Zhang Juzheng said: "We need to let them defend themselves! If a few corpses have a vegetarian diet, it is a minor illness and emergency medicine can be used. But this is the incompetence of dozens of feudal governors, not dozens of courtiers. It shows that the official's bad governance is a serious symptom. When It needs to be treated with slow medicine. If all the officials are dismissed, won't you worry that the competent ones will also lose their titles?"
After Zhao Zhenji heard what Zhang Juzheng said, he sat back and said, "What uncle said makes sense. It was the servant who cut it!"
Zhang Juzheng looked at Luo Zun: "Tell me about your six subjects. Why have you not completed 30% of what you promised to complete this year?"
At this time, everyone in the military department said to Li Ji: "The time is too tight! Even though I have been working hard all night, I still can't catch up. Please be kind to Yuan Fu."
"What kind of favor do you ask Yuan Fu to do? Are you giving Yuan Fu advice?!"
"You are admonishing your father for the king, you are practicing the loyalty taught by the saints, and you are expected to be loyal to the country by your parents! You are not serving as a steward for Yuan Fu! Moreover, the emperor gave you the power of reviewing the six subjects and six ministries, and did not let you Those who neglect the government rely on you to be young, high-spirited, and dare to point out the current ills, but what have you done in the end?!"
"Don't say you don't have enough time. Isn't it enough to give you one year?! I only arrived in the capital at the end of October and finished reading this year's ticket plan."
"Are you more sluggish than this old guy like me? Did the sharpness of your new career disappear so quickly?! If you only know how to stare at the Minister of War coughing during a ceremony, or the Minister of Personnel dozing off during court meetings, etc. If you want to express yourself through things, it is better to be transferred to a foreign post, become an official close to the people, and learn to do a few practical things for the people."
"It is said that a gentleman has no leisure. If you know the difficulty of farming, you will know the comfort of the villain. If you aspire to be a gentleman, you will allow yourself to be comfortable too early!"
As soon as Li Ji finished speaking, Zhao Zhenji started to scold him.
Li Ji couldn't help but tremble and didn't dare to say anything.
Zhu Yijun also learned from Zhang Jing the next day about the success of the cabinet examination, which forced him to admit that there was bound to be a lot of turmoil in the first year of the examination.
