Zhu Yijun looked at the urgent delivery and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
The tomb of Zhang Juzheng's father was dug up, and his body was dissected and exposed.
This kind of behavior is not cruel.
In this era of filial piety, such behavior can be said to be more cruel than directly killing Zhang Juzheng.
It can be seen how much the extreme people among the incited fierce people hate Zhang Juzheng.
Of course, the so-called tough people are actually just people who are instigated by the landlord class. They are either slaves of the landlord family or local ruffians.
Zhu Yijun was a little worried that Zhang Juzheng would be heartbroken and would not dare to insist on restructuring.
However, Zhu Yijun had to admit at this time that the gravedigger did not take the royal family seriously.
You know, Taihui Mountain, where Zhang Juzheng's father is buried, was a burial place given by Emperor Zhu Yijun.
Now these people have dug up all the burial grounds given by the royal family. Naturally, they don't even care about the emperor's face.
"Go and ask, sir, what's going on now?"
"As soon as his chapter is available, hand it over immediately!"
"Also, go to Beizhen Fusi and ask the person in charge of Huguang's confidential information if there is any urgent report about Jiangling. If so, send it immediately!"
Zhu Yijun then gave instructions.
…
The official residence of the chief minister.
At this time, Zhang Juzheng also learned about the digging of his father's grave from a private message sent quickly from his family, so he fainted on the spot and only woke up now.
After Zhang Juzheng regained consciousness, his younger brother Zhang Jujing came to Zhang Juzheng with the help of two brothers, Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu, tremblingly on crutches and said with tears in his eyes:
"Brother, now the fierce people have dug up our father's ancestral grave! Do you still want to continue the restructuring?!"
Zhang Jujing had been ill last year, and he originally wanted to return home early, but because Zhang Juzheng did not allow him to use the certificate given to him by Zhang Lu, the governor of Baoding, even if he used the certificate from the post station, Chiyi returned home, so he planned to wait until I won’t return home until the weather warms up this year.
However, Zhang Jujing did not expect that after waiting a few more months, he would find out in Beijing that his father's grave had been dug up.
Zhang Juzheng said nothing.
Zhang Jujing added: "My family wrote in a letter saying that not only was my father's grave dug up and his coffin dissected, but those ruthless people also set fire to our house. They also posted a post saying that it was your new policy that caused them to be abandoned by the master's family, so that there was a bad taste in the dining room." They slept in the open and begged for food on the streets; fortunately, the soldiers and civilians put out the fire in time, so their homes were not burned to the ground."
"But, brother, you should really think about it again. If this restructuring continues, not only will your life and death be unpredictable, but the life and death of everyone in our Zhang family will also be unpredictable! I'm afraid my parents will also be in trouble!"
Zhang Juzheng stood up and patted Zhang Jujing's shoulder: "You go back first and let my father be buried in peace. As for these things that happened, I will ask the local magistrate to investigate strictly. I believe that your majesty will not leave my Zhang family alone."
"Brother!"
"Brother, I kneel down for you."
Zhang Jujing really knelt down as he spoke, and said: "Your loyalty to His Majesty is enough to be called the most loyal, why should you continue to do this at the expense of your parents not being able to be buried in peace, or even the lives of the entire clan! "
"What's more, Sheji is not at the point where it will soon be destroyed if it doesn't do this. Why, my Zhang family has to do this to offend the world. Why should you be the only one to bear the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty? Other heroes who have received the favor of the country Shouldn’t the Right share one or two?!”
"Please ask His Majesty for leave!"
"I believe your Majesty will not deny it. After all, you have done enough for him. Now you just don't want your parents to be insulted by the ruthless people, so you have to beg for leave. Your Majesty is a benevolent emperor and will not force you to ignore your parents." Yes!"
Zhang Jujing then continued to persuade.
"Stop talking!"
Zhang Juzheng suddenly yelled at Zhang Jujing.
Zhang Jujing was so busy that he stayed where he was.
Then, Zhang Juzheng sat back on the chair, as if grabbing his heart, and said solemnly: "I can't let him be disappointed in me, my husband!"
Then, Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Jingxiu: "Help your second uncle leave."
"Second uncle, let's go."
Zhang Jingxiu said yes and came to help Zhang Jujing.
Zhang Maoxiu also smiled and said to Zhang Jujing: "Second uncle, my nephew recently got a good book. It writes interesting stories about the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. You must like it."
"Brother, do you only have that student in your heart?"
Zhang Jujing pushed away the hands of Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu and asked Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng said in a low tone: "He is not just a student."
"I know that my brother has his own obsessions."
"But, even if you are so indifferent that you ignore the fact that your parents will not be able to rest in peace in the future, can you also ignore the fate that your sons will end up in Yan Donglou because of you?!"
Zhang Jujing burst into tears and asked.
Zhang Juzheng raised his head and looked at Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu. After a while, he smiled and said: "They are my sons, Zhang Taiyue, and they will protect the Zhang family with their own lives!"
Historically, Zhang Jingxiu did commit suicide, which shocked the entire scholar-officials and made many scholar-officials realize that if they continue to do so, their faces as scholar-officials would become very disgraceful, and they all sympathized with the Zhang family greatly. Heart, began to plead for the Zhang family.
Zhang Juzheng said this at this time, obviously predicting the future situation and making this request to Zhang Jingxiu.
Zhang Jingxiu pursed his lips and continued to say to Zhang Jujing: "Second uncle, let's go."
Zhang Jujing stood up cooperatively this time with the help of Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu.
"Second uncle, don't worry. My nephew has already sent someone to notify my grandmother. They are not allowed to let her know about my grandfather."
Zhang Jingxiu started talking while supporting Zhang Jujing.
Zhang Maoxiu also supported Zhang Jujing and said with a smile: "My nephew will send you a book later, so that you can relieve your boredom on the way?"
Zhang Juzheng looked at the backs of the three people and muttered.
"As a father, I'm sorry for you!"
After a long time, suddenly, Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Maoxiu, and Zhang Jujing heard a familiar voice coming from behind, and they all froze in place.
Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu both turned around and kowtowed to Zhang Juzheng: "Father, never do this!"
Zhang Juzheng laughed with tears in his eyes, and then waved his hand: "Go."
Then, Zhang Juzheng sat down on the chair behind the bookcase and started writing the chapter.
…
"Sir's chapter?"
Zhu Yijun looked at the initial copy handed over by Zhang Hong and asked.
Zhang Hong nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, according to His Majesty's decree, the original copy of Yuan Fu Mr. Zhang and the Prime Minister must be delivered to Your Majesty in time."
"I don't want to see it!"
"Put it there."
Zhu Yijun turned his face away.
Zhang Hong said yes and stepped aside.
But after a while, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but glance at Zhang Juzheng's memorial on the eucalyptus.
Zhu Yijun finally gritted his teeth and picked up the chapter.
Here, Zhang Hong couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
"why are you laughing?"
Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Hong's expression and asked.
"Old slave, old slave..."
Zhang Hong stuttered.
Zhu Yijun then opened Zhang Juzheng's chapter.
Then, Zhu Yijun discovered that Zhang Juzheng's memorial was just to ask him, the emperor, to abolish the strike or resistance to employers stipulated in Ming Xiaozong's reign as the following crimes, and to be complicit in treason, which is Ling Chi's order; and the petition We abolished the status of untouchables and classified shanty towns as ordinary people. After the census, we ordered all departments to compile the number of local poor households for the purpose of government relief. We also petitioned and urged local officials to strictly implement the unified payment of grain by both officials and gentry when taxes are levied this summer. Bad strategy.
These things Zhang Juzheng reported were all things Zhu Yijun had mentioned to Zhang Juzheng.
All of them are to facilitate the implementation of the New Deal where officials and gentry can pay food and serve as errands together.
It is necessary to liberate the people with low status, win over the workers at the bottom, and no longer adopt the policy of brutal suppression of shantytowns.
So that there will be more people on the court side.
And Zhang Juzheng suddenly wrote this memorial, undoubtedly to show to him, the emperor, his determination to continue to reform the system for him.
As a result, Zhu Yijun's eyebrows gradually widened, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised.
"What a gentleman!"
"Let me tell you, no wind or frost sword can defeat Mr. Zhang!"
Zhu Yijun started talking with a smile, and then ordered: "Zhang Hong, pass on my decree to summon Mr. Zhang to Xinuan Pavilion!"
