Although Zhu Yijun did not engage in serious involvement, he even went so far as to remove or punish Zhang Juzheng.
However, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the Department of Ceremonies, was sentenced to death, the governor was abandoned after being remonstrated, and even the entire officials of the Martial Arts Department were brought to the sword.
This kind of intensity was still quite high in the Ming Dynasty.
Especially after Hongwu and Yongle.
This is also related to the fact that the intensity of reforms in the early years of Wanli was greater than in original history.
Whether it is the imperial examination method or the clearing of Zhang Tianmu, the intensity is greater than the historical examination method and the clearing of Zhang Tianmu.
Because the examination method was implemented in accordance with Hai Rui's requirements.
As for the land clearing, it was carried out in the northern and southern Zhili areas where it was most difficult to clear the land from the beginning, and historically it was not possible to completely clear the land due to the obstruction of the powerful gentry.
In addition, several trading seaports have been added.
Therefore, the struggle becomes more intense.
Fortunately, in this life, Emperor Zhu Yijun was more proactive in cooperating and even more willing to support Zhang Juzheng in implementing reforms than in the original history. Also, because there was no restriction from Feng Bao on Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun was able to directly join forces with Zhang Juzheng, so Only then can this more radical reform be implemented smoothly.
In addition, he has not carried out the reform of the inner court, even the concubine selection system, because considering that one concubine position means that several eunuchs and maidens will become steward eunuchs and steward maidens due to the establishment of one concubine position. There is no change, that is, As a result, when the outer dynasty was carrying out vigorous reforms, no big troubles occurred in the inner court. At most, the people below were just fighting for power and profit. This also ensured that the outer dynasty's reforms could still proceed smoothly even if they were fierce.
Even if Empress Dowager Li personally intervened to prevent Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng from suppressing their opponents with an iron fist, it would not affect the entire Wanli reform cause.
Of course, as Zhang Juzheng himself said before, he was willing to cooperate with the emperor in carrying out more radical reforms, and then re-appointed Zhao Zhenji and Hai Rui, whom he had not planned to appoint, all because he knew that Zhu Yijun advocated more radical reforms and disliked his reform. It was too moderate, and it was intended to implement all the radical reforms that Zhu Yijun wanted to do before Zhu Yijun took office.
In this way, Zhu Yijun can only be a benevolent emperor in the future, and there is nothing he can change.
In a monarchy country, the minds of senior ministers often change due to the emperor's different attitudes.
Regardless of whether Zhang Juzheng's idea is wishful thinking.
At least, today's Wanli Dynasty of Ming Dynasty is indeed carrying out reforms in a more radical way.
Therefore, the number of heads falling to the ground is more.
But this also means that the reform will be more thorough.
However, after this clean-up, the forces opposing the reform had to temporarily cease their activities.
And those hypocritical people in Zhang Dang who had mixed up with the reform team had to restrain themselves a little.
The next situation in the Ming Dynasty became calm again.
Summer passes and autumn comes.
It's winter again.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the sixth year of Wanli came to an end.
Because since the Ming Dynasty implemented the examination method, all officials have worked much harder than before.
Especially after the implementation of new policies such as clearing land ownership, the workload of bureaucrats was further increased.
In addition, Zhu Yijun took into account that after the financial improvement in recent years, official salaries have been paid in full, and many outstanding candidates and senior officials received generous silver rewards.
Therefore, in order to allow the distributed money to sink into the homes of ordinary people through consumption, Zhu Yijun also collected part of it through taxation. On the grounds that the prosperous New Year should be enjoyed by the people, he decided to It is intended that, except for special positions that require shifts, all officials in Beijing will take a ten-day break and those who have to stay on duty will also be rewarded with double salaries.
Zhang Juzheng did not object, because this was what he wanted to see, that is, the emperor could only show kindness to hundreds of officials and gain the reputation of benevolence.
Zhu Yijun's lectures and scripture banquets were also temporarily suspended.
Therefore, he, the emperor, had a lot more free time in one day.
And on the New Year's Day of the seventh year of Wanli.
It happened to snow all day last night, so the entire Forbidden City felt like it was covered in a world of glass this morning.
Zhu Yijun would also have more free time to spend time with his concubines and the princesses who temporarily lived in the palace and did not choose to move to Changchun Nunnery with the empress dowagers of the two palaces.
Including the queen, Zhu Yijun had fifty concubines in his harem.
This is the number of emperor's concubines stipulated in the harem system of the Ming Dynasty.
Back to the topic.
Therefore, when these concubines were preparing for the New Year and waiting for the emperor and empress Zhu Yijun to come back from Changchun Nunnery to greet them for the festival, and they all gathered in Kunning Palace, there was a large group of girls.
Among them, Concubine Liu Zhao took advantage of the absence of the emperor and the empress and sat on the couch by the window. While smiling, she put some wintersweet in the Ru kiln vase.
Concubine Yang Yifei and the little princess Ruian took off their embroidered shoes, sat cross-legged on the couch, and played the game of solving the nine-link puzzle. For a while, they both frowned and pouted because they couldn't solve the puzzle for a long time.
The little princess of Yanqing took advantage of the two of them concentrating on solving the Nine Links, quietly holding their embroidered shoes in her hands, and then walked out quietly, hiding their embroidered shoes outside the door curtain, so that other concubines could see it. Everyone chuckled.
Because the queen had just entered the palace and was still at an innocent and innocent age;
As for Emperor Zhu Yijun, who came from a later generation, he was not very influenced by ethics and did not suppress the nature of his young concubines and sisters too much;
In addition, the queen mothers of the two palaces also moved out;
Therefore, both the concubines and princesses in the early years of Wanli lived their lives honestly.
The only drawback is that you can't see the world outside the palace walls.
"Also, are there any other interesting things in your hometown?"
Even Princess Yongning, who was already in her prime, did not look calmly at the falling snow outside, just waiting for the emperor and the queen to return. Instead, she took several of Zhu Yijun's concubines and sat across from each other around the fire, urging them to let them go. Talk about the customs and interesting stories of their respective hometowns.
These concubines who had just entered the palace were willing to talk and did not feel annoyed by it, especially during this New Year festival.
Accidentally, the tea that the palace maid had brewed on the fire was gone.
At this moment, news came from the eunuch outside that Zhu Yijun and Queen Du Shi were back.
After hearing this, everyone stood up.
Concubine Yang Yifei and Princess Ruian were wandering around in panic: "Ah! Where have our shoes gone?"
"Brother and sister-in-law are back!"
Princess Yongning ran out directly. She was wearing a red cloak and running on the white snow, showing her teeth and breathing hot air.
"ah!"
But accidentally, Princess Yongning fell to the ground, causing slush to splash.
The emperor and empress hurriedly came over first to help Yongning up: "Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, my butt just hurts!"
Yongning'e frowned slightly and said.
Queen Du couldn't help covering her mouth and looking at Zhu Yijun with a smile.
Zhu Yijun patted Yongning on the shoulder and walked into the hall.
"I've met your Majesty, I've met the Queen!"
Zhu Yijun's concubines first saluted Zhu Yijun and Du.
"No gift!"
When Zhu Yijun glanced at his concubines, who were as beautiful as a winter boudoir, he was shocked to see that although Yang Yifei was standing among the concubines, she was not wearing shoes, so she couldn't help but ask: "Yifei, where are your shoes?"
Yang Yifei, who was also still childish, lowered her head shyly, her pretty face flushed, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I can't find her!"
"Brother Imperial! I can't find mine either."
Little Princess Ruian also came over at this time and spoke angrily to Zhu Yijun.
The little princess of Yanqing couldn't help but smile, and took it out not long after.
"It turns out it was you who did the trick!"
Seeing this, Ruian gnashed his teeth and raised his hand to hit Yanqing.
Yanqing hurriedly hid behind Zhu Yijun, and Ruian chased after her. Yanqing ran out of the palace, and Ruian chased after her. However, when she reached the outside of the palace, she had to stop first and let the maid serving her put on her shoes. , and shouted:
"Zhu Yaoji, don't run away! If you fall like my sister, Amitabha, that will be your retribution in this world!"
"It's cold outside!"
At this time, Mrs. Du also shouted to Yanqing with concern.
