In a dark room.
After Zhang Siwei said this, he murmured to himself Ding Zilu's words: "Cowardly people only deserve to be bullied by the strong."
Then, Zhang Siwei sat back on the chair, scrubbed and washed his face with a look of embarrassment on his face, then sighed, looked up at the roof, and said to himself:
"Uncle, shouldn't I think about getting on your boat and getting off again?"
"Otherwise, everything wouldn't be in vain now!"
After Zhang Siwei said this, a look of sadness and indignation appeared on his face.
And just when Zhang Siwei sighed, Cheng Jiu walked over quickly and said in a painful voice: "Master, there is news from home, Master, he is old!"
"What?!"
Zhang Siwei stood up immediately after hearing this. As if there was a blast of thunder in his ears, he immediately swayed violently and collapsed back into his chair.
"The news came back urgently from my family that she was seriously ill at the end of the month. I didn't even have time to report it to the master, and I had just prepared to lay down the coffin and prepare for the wedding, but it turned out that I was old! So, reporting the illness directly became a report to the master to return to his hometown to observe filial piety. Something! Woohoo!”
Cheng Jiuqian cried and replied.
"Father!"
Then, Zhang Siwei howled.
"Master, please forgive me!"
Cheng Jiu knelt on the ground and hurriedly comforted Zhang Siwei.
Zhang Siwei pondered for a long time before murmuring: "Can your Majesty also seize love?"
"What are you talking about, sir?"
Cheng Jiu asked.
"Prepare pen and ink!"
Zhang Siwei suddenly stood up and returned to the back of the bookcase, and gave an order.
"yes!"
…
"Is Yuan Fu's Gao Tang old?"
Zhu Yijun also learned about the death of Zhang Siwei's father from Zhang Jing that day, so he asked calmly.
Zhang Jing said: "Returning to your Majesty, this is the exact news. The Zhang Mansion in Puzhou has been hung up with white curtains."
Zhu Yijun didn't say anything after hearing this. He only showed a fierce look on his face and cursed in his heart: "What a coincidence, but I gave him a chance!"
The next day.
It is the spring light and gorgeous sky, and the city is full of new buds.
Shi Yusi.
Zhu Yijun came here early.
Zhang Siwei was also waiting here early.
As soon as Zhang Siwei saw Zhu Yijun appear, he immediately knelt down towards Zhu Yijun, raised a piece of memorial above his head, and choked with sobs: "I ask your majesty to grant me the order!"
"I already know."
"Yuan Fu, don't be too sad, just accept the change."
As he spoke, Zhu Yijun took Zhang Siwei's memorial and handed it to Shen Shixing: "Master Shen has drafted a draft and asked the Ministry of Rites to discuss the reward for the sacrifice."
Shen Shixing said yes and accepted the memorial.
Zhang Siwei also knelt on the ground and glanced sideways at Zhu Yijun, paying attention to Zhu Yijun's expression.
"I have just taken charge of the country, and my husband has not given up for a long time. It is appropriate to retain more old ministers to stabilize the government."
When Zhu Yijun said this, Zhang Siwei's eyes brightened and he sobbed even harder.
"Of course! How can I betray Yuan Fu's filial piety?"
However, Zhu Yijun suddenly changed the topic, and Zhang Siwei's sobs also slowed down, and his eyes became depressed.
"And now, it is no longer the time for my young country to be suspicious, so Zhun Yuanfu returned to his hometown to guard the system. Zhun Chiyi returned home, and was escorted by the Five Hundred Banner School of Jinyi Guards. Sun Bin, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, went to ask for sacrifices together."
After Zhu Yijun finished what he said next, Zhang Siwei became much calmer, and immediately bowed to Zhu Yijun: "Thank you, my emperor, for your kindness. Even if I die, I will never be able to repay you!"
Zhu Yijun had no intention of fighting for Zhang Siwei's love.
Because it's not worth it.
After all, Zhang Siwei and Zhang Juzheng are different.
As an assistant minister who made him, the emperor, have to die personally, and barbarized other tribes to make most bureaucrats give up on wanting to liquidate Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun not only had no good impression of Zhang Siwei, but also had hatred for him. .
It can be said that there is no friendship between the monarch and his ministers.
He is very different from Zhang Juzheng, who was the emperor's master.
What's more, Zhang Siwei has never shown any proactive behavior in moving closer to him on restructuring.
Moreover, after Zhu Yijun conquered the remnants of Zhang Juzheng's party, and many of Zhang Juzheng's remnants have shown that they are more suitable to be the chief minister than Zhang Siwei, Zhang Siwei has no use value.
In fact, there is no one more suitable than Zhang Siwei to take the blame.
There is really no need for Zhang Siwei to be left behind.
If we really want to say that there is any value, the only value of Zhang Siwei is to be liquidated and confiscated, and to be promoted as a negative example.
】
There are too many people suitable for positive publicity, and it’s not his turn.
Zhang Siwei actually understood that it was impossible for the emperor to win love for him, but the value brought by the position of chief minister still made him unavoidable and inexplicable hope.
Only after Zhu Yijun clearly asked him to return to his hometown, did he feel completely relieved, and then took a look at Shen Shixing.
On the night he left the official residence of the Chief Minister, Zhang Siwei personally invited Shen Shixing to his home, exchanged greetings, and said with a smile:
"I have worked with Gong Tongchao for several years, right?"
"Five years!"
Shen Shixing replied with a smile.
Zhang Siwei nodded solemnly: "It's not short! I especially remember the days when the Grand Master just returned to his hometown, the days when you and I discussed it together with the pavilion. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, we have to part ways now."
Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Yuan Fu returned to his hometown in honor of his kindness and kept filial piety to Ding You. He not only fulfilled the emperor's kindness, but also fulfilled his filial piety. It can be said that he has both loyalty and filial piety, which makes others envious!"
Zhang Siwei stood up, poured a glass of wine for Shen Shixing, and smiled: "What's there to envy? He's just an old loser. He owes a debt of gratitude to the country, but he's ashamed to meet a concubine. If he had taken a step earlier, he would have incurred less hatred."
"Mr. Ge, please have a drink. For the sake of my colleagues, please be merciful."
Zhang Siwei suddenly raised his glass and said something with a smile to Shen Shixing.
Although the voice is low.
But when he read it in Zhang Siwei's mouth, it seemed as if he had a thousand kilograms of walnuts in his mouth, so that his lips trembled slightly when he said it, and his eyes looking at Shen Shixing were full of pleading.
"Don't dare!"
Shen Shixing stood up, took the wine, and said, "Don't worry, I'm an old friend and I'll help you as much as I can."
Zhang Siwei nodded.
Zhang Siwei only met Shen Shixing, but did not see any colleagues, nor did any colleagues take the initiative to see him.
Before leaving the next day, he came to the Imperial Palace to say goodbye to Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun met Zhang Siwei and said: "Yuan Fu is traveling slowly, don't be too sad."
"I am ashamed of Your Majesty. Although I have received too much favor from the Emperor, I have done all useless things. Now that I have received His Majesty's kindness and mercy, I have returned to my hometown and forest. I can only pray for long live the Emperor and may the country be in peace!"
Zhang Siwei choked up and spoke.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "It's enough if Yuan Fu has this intention!"
After Zhang Siwei said goodbye to Zhu Yijun, he hurriedly left the capital together with the eunuch Sun Bin, the eunuch, and the five hundred brocade guards and flag school.
As soon as Zhang Siwei left, Li Zhi, the censor behind him, went to court to impeach Zhang Siwei for wanting to destroy the virtue of the grand master.
Li Zhi accused Zhang Siwei of having bad intentions and harboring treacherous desires to undermine the monarch's virtue. For example, on the eve of the annual examination in the second year of Wanli, he asked the examiner Shen Yiguan to cheat on Zhang Jingxiu. He also asked his younger brother Zhang Sijiao to take the initiative to curry favor with You Qi, and secretly manipulated the salt administration to make Zhang Siwei cheat. Most of the salt profits from Lianghuai River fell into his Zhang family, and he also instigated his younger brother to contact Qiu Li and conspire to murder the grand master in the future.
"Is there such a thing?"
After Zhu Yijun received the bullet, he pretended to be surprised and asked Shen Shixing.
Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty, although the matter involves Yuan Fu, it ultimately involves the Yanzheng and the innocence of the Taishi family. We must not ignore it!"
"Therefore, I think that I can first send an imperial envoy to arrest his brother and bring him to the capital for interrogation! As for the imperial envoy, I recommend Wang Zhuan, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishments, Zhai Rujing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Chen Zheng, the eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremonies, to lead a thousand Jinyiwei and the Ministry of Punishments. Go to the official school."
Zhu Yijun nodded: "Yes! But his brother does not need to be arrested. This person has been captured by the Jinyi Guards for his crime. Since the matter involved Shou Kui, I did not let the factory guards seek justice. But now this four-dimensional picture has already done this." If you feel sorry for me and the imperial court, then just arrest him and his relatives and bring him to Beijing for interrogation! To get justice for you!"
"I just allow Zhang Sijiao to go back and see his late father to fulfill his filial piety."
Shen Shixing said yes, and not long after, he came to the Imperial Palace to tell Zhao Zhigao about the matter: "Immediately draft an edict according to this decree, and at the same time send an urgent message to the government hall to order the local officials to keep strict supervision!"
Zhao Zhigao was quite shocked when he saw this.
"What are you doing standing still?"
Shen Shixing asked Zhao Zhigao.
Zhao Zhigao came back to his senses, hurriedly held up his hands and explained: "I had insomnia last night, so I am not in good spirits today, and I am a little slow to react. Please forgive me! I will follow the instructions and draft the order!"
