After the palace was purged after the murder of the king, the news coming out of the palace became confusing and strange.
The main reason is that Feng Baozai kept spreading some false news, such as the fire in Fengtian Temple, the black scorpion in the corridor, the poisonous vegetables in Guanglu Temple, and the palace maid's pregnancy. Once someone reports, they can narrow down the scope and find the insiders of these ministers in the palace!
His Majesty taught him tricks, and he was also working hard to innovate and find new methods. For example, when he gave false information, he was fishing.
Feng Bao was really afraid of losing his position as an ancestor, so when he heard the news from Qianqing Palace that the emperor was going to farm, Feng Bao realized that his opportunity had come.
After completing this errand, his image in His Majesty's heart will be better, which can be regarded as atonement for his sins.
So Feng Bao sent Xu Jue to send news to You Qi that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to farm the land, and the specific reasons were made very clear.
Zhang Juzheng had to help him stabilize the position of Da Yu, otherwise he would not be Da Yu in the palace. If the eunuch in charge of the ceremony was replaced by someone else, he would have to deal with it all over again. Zhang Juzheng was also restricted in his work in the outer court.
Zhang Juzheng finished writing the last chapter of "The Legend of Emperor Jian Tu Shuo" and fully understood the key to it.
"Send it to the Imperial Academy's Ma Ziqiang and let him engrave it overnight. I want to see the finished book tomorrow. Your Majesty's schoolwork cannot be delayed." Zhang Juzheng handed the written imperial connotation to You Qi and motioned for him to do it.
Ma Ziqiang is waiting for Zhang Juzheng to send him the last few emperor stories, so that they can be written into a book.
Officials inside and outside the empire were serving the supreme Ming Emperor, even late at night.
As for Feng Bao's request, Zhang Juzheng began to weigh it very seriously.
He was not weighing the pros and cons. Helping Feng Bao was helping himself. He helped Feng Bao stabilize Da Ju's position and was conducive to the implementation of his decree.
For Zhang Juzheng, the emperor was just farming, how big of a deal was that? Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, wore straw sandals and planted crops in the palace.
"Ancestor Instructions of the Emperor Ming Dynasty" records that Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the vegetable plot in the palace and said to Prince Zhu Biao, King Zhu Di and others: "It is absolutely necessary to build pavilions, pavilions and pavilions as a place for sightseeing. Now I only order the envoys to grow vegetables. I can't bear it." It hurts the people's wealth and wastes their energy.
This is the ancestral craftsmanship of the old Zhu family. The sign in the Qianqing Palace still hangs to respect the heaven and the ancestors. The ancestors' methods are upright.
The wind caused by the emperor's personal farming is nothing compared to the examination method he now implements.
The bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty had been idle for two hundred and five years. Suddenly a chief minister wanted to put a halter on them. These bureaucrats wanted to chew him to pieces before they would give up.
Zhang Ju, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, was weighing what to plant for His Majesty the Emperor. Since he wanted to plant something, he had to produce some results.
Zhang Juzheng was recalling all the details of his meeting with Luo Gongchen, a fellow coastal defense official.
Luo Gongchen's memorial and suggestions are excellent, but can these potatoes and sweet potatoes really yield more than two thousand kilograms per mu? Is Luo Gongchen exaggerating, or is it true?
If Luo Gongchen's words are not credible, then find a crop that is easy to grow and bear fruit for the emperor.
If we can really produce potatoes with a yield of two thousand jins per mu instead of one thousand jins per mu, it will be much more secure when the emperor takes charge in person in the future.
The death of people and the decline of government is an extremely common phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty.
For example, Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, passed the throne to Zhu Yunwen, Lord Jianwen. Zhu Yunwen lost the country, and Yan Mansion became the only successful case in history where a vassal king rebelled.
For example, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty made five expeditions to Mobei and made six voyages to the West. It was reported that he even made one voyage to the West during the Xuande period. After the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, he never made another voyage to the West.
For example, Yu Qian, the Shaobao of the Ming Dynasty, wiped out the entire Jingying camp during the Yingzong's personal expedition in the Ming Dynasty. Yu Qian then built the Jingying camp to repel Oala. After the Yingzong's restoration in the Ming Dynasty, he directly disbanded the Jingying camp. What happened to Yu Qian who saved the Ming Dynasty? ? Beheaded in public display.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was normal for people to die and government to cease.
Yang Bo, the leader of the Jin Party, repeatedly warned Zhang Juzheng more than once: As the head of a hundred officials, as the chief assistant, such reforms will definitely not end well. When attacking, the emperor of the old Zhu family will push the boat along with the current, and he will inevitably liquidate and dig graves. Yu Qian will take the lead.
Yu Qian's unjust death was a result of seeking honor and humiliation. How shocked were these latecomers to see Yu Qian's fate?
Yang Bo has been trying hard to win over Zhang Juzheng. Even if he gives the position of the Jin Party to Zhang Juzheng, it is better than giving Zhang Siwei the head and the rat.
Zhang Juzheng hoped that his power would not be extinguished after his death, at least to ensure that the Ming Emperor would have the strength to do this after he took charge.
As for whether the king wants to make a comprehensive liquidation of his policies, that is not his decision.
Zhang Juzheng opened his eyes, Luo Gongchen was trustworthy.
His analysis is based on a basic principle: look at where his butt sits.
Luo Gongchen is a Jin gentry with the reputation of being a civil servant. What is a Jin gentry?
If you win the title of Juren, it is like a fish leaping over the dragon's gate. The fellow villagers will try their best to put their fields in the name of the Juren to avoid the court's taxes.
Zhang Juzheng had won the imperial examination, and he knew very well how powerful he was after being selected for the imperial examination.
Those who used to show their teeth and claws, wishing to kneel down and put your shoes on, everyone's eyes will become different. Those eyes are full of awe and avoidance. Wherever you go, there are people who are polite and groveling.
Luo Gongchen was a typical gentleman, a ruler, and a carnivore. When Japanese invasions broke out, how many Jin gentry ran out to take refuge with their money? The common people were too poor to run away, but the gentry had money in their pockets and could go anywhere.
When a Japanese invasion broke out in the southeast, the Jin gentry went to Huguang. As soon as they scattered their money, they had acres of land, tenants, servants, and property.
Luo Gongchen did not run away. Not only did he not run away, he also organized soldiers and civilians to fight against the Japanese pirates many times. When Songjiang Prefecture was in trouble, Luo Gongchen immediately set off to help after hearing the news. In order to thank Luo Gongchen for his help at starry night, Songjiang Prefecture built a Danfeng Tower and set up a plaque. The Feng Tower overlooks', commemorating Luo Gongchen's achievements.
Zhang Juzheng had a favorable impression of the sergeants and civil servants who fought against the Japanese invaders during the Japanese invasion. In his opinion, Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, and Luo Gongchen could all be regarded as fellow travelers.
Zhang Juzheng picked up the pencil and wrote two sentences. The first sentence was the sentence annotated by the little emperor: Comrade, peer, Fang Tongle.
The second sentence is about unwavering knowledge.
The conditions given by Yang Bo were too generous, and the price of insisting on implementing the decree was too high. When the officials in the world liquidated him, one can imagine his fate.
There is also a precedent for the government to survive the death of a person. Shang Yang's reforms offended so many people. Shang Yang's body was torn apart by a cart and his whole family was executed by his clan. However, King Qin Huiwen retained Shang Yang's reforms.
Keep your knowledge in mind, this is what he said to himself, and it seems that it is not unacceptable, but the decree needs to be preserved.
In the early morning of the next day, the little emperor started his strange daily routine again. He was reading above and quarreling below.
The quarrel was still about Tan Lun becoming an official.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs impeached Tan Lun before the incident. Today, Tan Lun made up a memorial for his resignation. Yang Bo, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said that Tan Lun was indeed a vegetarian, and listed 34 crimes against Tan Lun!
Zhu Yijun even called him "good guy", "Why is Tan Lun, Minister of War, so dirty?" Thirty-four crimes, the officials really dare to say it!
The little emperor listened for a while before he understood that these thirty-four charges were actually accumulated from one incident.
Tan Lun has been stuck on the list of generals promoted by Wang Chonggu, and has been reluctant to approve it.
Wang Chonggu was transferred from the Governor of Xuanda to the capital to supervise the military camp. He took a list and wanted to select a group of generals from the Xuanda border army to join the capital camp. The process got stuck when it came to the Ministry of War.
Tan Lun suppressed the memorial for six months.
Feng Bao looked at Wang Chonggu and said with a sinister expression: "Wang Shaobao, Yu Shaobao was also a Shaobao during the Jingtai period. After Yu Shaobao rebuilt the capital camp and defeated the Oara people, he immediately went to inspect the border areas and did everything. They were all under the exclusive control of the emperor. Grandpa Jingtai even cut down bamboo himself to obtain leek and treated Yu Shaobao's phlegm disease. He was a model of a sage and a wise minister."
Yu Qian was beheaded by Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty after the restoration, on the charge of "wanting to do something". The intention was to make Prince Xiang the crown prince. This means that Ming Yingzong's son, Ming Xianzong, succeeded him. Zhu Jianshen didn't believe it.
Fortunately, Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen restored the title of emperor to Emperor Jingtai and vindicated Yu Qian. Today, Feng Bao can openly cite this historical event.
Feng Bao threw a memorandum on the table, raised his head half-way with the gauze on his head, looked at Wang Chonggu, the corner of his mouth twitched, raised his eyebrows, breathed out his nostrils, and sneered: "Today it is Wang Shaobao's turn to be the Shaobao, and he is also the supervisor. Military camp, tsk tsk, Wang Shaobao, I really want to drag all the dogs at home to the capital camp to eat a portion of the royal food!"
Feng Bao's words were really unpleasant to hear. His duty was to scold the ministers no matter how unpleasant they were.
"It will not be the turn of the Ming Dynasty for eunuchs like you to be so rampant!" Wang Chonggu slapped the table and stood up, looking at Feng Bao, his expression changed drastically, and he was very much planning to take action if he disagreed. There are ten levels in the "Qi Ren Jing", Feng Bao At least he has cultivated to the twelfth level.
Ge Shouli, the General Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, could not defeat Feng Bao, but Wang Chonggu could definitely defeat him.
Feng Bao was not angry after hearing this. He looked at Wang Chonggu and said calmly: "The Analects of Confucius Shuer said: A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain has a lot of worries."
"The meaning of these words has always been understood by all of you who are scholars of Confucian classics than this eunuch in our family. A gentleman has no shame in heaven and no shame in his heart. As for villains, they care about everything. For the sake of gaining power for a little benefit, they are frightened and restless, and they can't feel at ease. .”
"Our family is indeed a eunuch, but when we sit here, we are worthy of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, and we are honest and open-minded."
"We have heard that what this little man likes to do most is to beat the blind and scold the mute. He beats the blind, but the blind cannot see. He scolds the mute, but the mute can't stop talking. If you keep your mouth shut, you are an eunuch. We Who is the villain?"
"You, Wang Chonggu, have bells. You might as well pick them off for our family to see! Our family used to be a servant in the Jingshi Room, and our sword skills are superb."
Feng Bao quoted the words of a sage and scolded Wang Chonggu as a villain with bells who beat the blind, dumb, and attacked other people's flaws. But from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, he had no regrets and was a gentleman with bells in his heart.
If Wang Chonggu wanted to castrate, it would be better to let him, Feng Bao, perform the castration himself!
"Duan is so arrogant! I wholeheartedly work for His Majesty. The admiral in charge of the capital camp naturally does it for the affairs of the capital camp. I do not shy away from relatives when I promote talents. How come you have become...such a dirty look in your mouth!" Wang Chonggu finally said Angry, Feng Bao's curse was really unpleasant. He raised his arms and prepared to perform a full martial arts show.
Zhang Juzheng said calmly: "Correction Officer."
The ceremonial officer is responsible for checking the indecency in front of the palace. A quarrel is a quarrel. If the quarrel cannot be overcome, then take action. How is that decent?
"Hahaha! We Ming Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats were scolded by eunuchs using sage books and pointed at their noses, but they couldn't stop talking! I don't know whether I should be happy or sad." Tan Lun heard Zhang Juzheng speak and didn't care about Wang Chonggu at all. Her face, which was as red as pig liver, started to laugh while holding on to the table.
Why Tan Lun refused to approve this list was because not all of them on the list were Wang Chonggu's old men, but at least most of them were. The situation in the Jingying camp was so big that there was no room for carelessness. Tan Lun had always refused to approve it. It was because he hated Yang Bo that Luo Gongchen went to Beijing to defect to Yang Bo and was rejected by Zhang Juzheng.
Tan Lun is disobedient, so he will naturally be impeached.
Tan Lun smiled, his face became sad, and he said with great helplessness: "Happiness, of course, happiness, this scene is really interesting, sadness, this scene happened in our Wenhua Hall, it is really our Ming Dynasty of sorrow."
The national power of the Ming Dynasty is like this in the Wenhua Palace, where the little emperor is reading, the courtiers are quarreling, and the eunuchs are holding back the sage's books and scolding them.
Weirdness everywhere.
Does Feng Bao read many books? Compared with the great bachelors in the imperial court, they are not worth mentioning at all, but Feng Bao is able to scold people without stopping.
"Wang Shaobao." Yang Bo finally couldn't stand it anymore and reminded Wang Chonggu not to argue with Feng Bao. Any further argument would be self-inflicted.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Chonggu and said with a smile: "Admiral Wang is loyal to the country, and he is so anxious because he sees the corruption of the capital camp. He is eager for justice and has an honest nature. He is doing things for the Ming Dynasty and serving your majesty. Feng Damun, don't Don’t bully Admiral Wang for being inarticulate anymore.”
"Humph!" Wang Chonggu knew that he was in the wrong, and naturally he had to go down the stairs. He shook his sleeves before sitting down, sulking.
When he arrived at the Beijing camp, Wang Chonggu found that the Beijing camp was even more corrupt than the frontier army. Naturally, he was anxious. But in Feng Bao's words, it turned out to be stealing the country for personal gain?
Wang Chonggu was naturally furious. He really didn't bring his family dog to the capital camp to eat the royal food.
Tan Lun's official memorial would not be approved by the Chief of Ceremonies, nor would it be used to seal it in the hands of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Feng Bao came back victorious and satisfied.
"I have a plan for how to promote the recruitment of generals in the capital." Zhang Juzheng looked around and said.
