Why didn't Zhu Yijun suspect that Ge Shouli was working for the Jin Party?
Because Ge Shouli was charging into the battle, the most reasonable process for criticizing the chief minister was to let the imperial censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate charge into the battle, instead of Ge Shouli, his own general, rushing in and doing nothing.
Ge Shouli's doubts, Ge Shouli's doubts, and Ge Shouli's questions were all based on a basic suspicion.
That is Zhang Juzheng referring to a deer as a horse.
Zhu Yijun asked the old farmer about the yield per mu.
Ge Shouli once served as the Minister of Household Affairs in the Ming Dynasty, and he should have some knowledge of the yield per mu, so when he first heard that the yield per mu was more than a thousand catties, his mind immediately jumped to Zhang Juzheng's manipulation of authority and the practice of imperial power.
Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, was indeed a bit domineering.
The yield per mu in the north of the Ming Dynasty, one acre of land, harvested wheat in summer and harvested millet in autumn, totaled more than two stones, about three hundred kilograms;
In the south, where rice is harvested in summer and rice, wheat or rice is harvested in autumn, one acre of land can produce about four stones of grain a year, which is about more than 570 kilograms.
What did Luo Gongchen say? It is said that the yield per mu is tens of shi, even if the yield is 15 shi per mu, what is the concept? No matter how unpalatable potatoes or sweet potatoes are, they are still food. When you are hungry, how can you care whether they taste good or not?
In Ge Shouli's view, isn't this Zhang Juzheng referring to a deer as a horse?
Not to mention Ge Shouli, not many ministers in the court believed it.
If Zhu Yijun didn't know that this yellow lump of earth could really produce dozens of stones, he would also think that Zhang Ju was exaggerating and teaming up with Luo Gongchen to deceive the king.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Ge Zongxian, Luo Tongzhixian and other auspicious people are here for the great Ming Dynasty. Haven't they already started planting? Why don't we wait until the results come out?"
"Your Majesty, I am terrified." Ge Shouli tossed his sleeves, knelt on the ground and kowtowed five times, crying bitterly.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked: "Does Mr. Ge farm? I have some doubts and would like to ask for advice."
Ge Shouli was a little confused. He said blankly: "I...don't do anything about farming."
"Forget it, you can continue the discussion." Zhu Yijun waved his hand nonchalantly and motioned for Ge Shouli to sit down flat.
Ge Shouli stood up in a daze, and sat down in his seat in confusion, only to realize that he seemed to have been tricked.
This attack and impeachment by the General Constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate against the chief assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion ended without any problem due to His Majesty the Emperor's sidestep.
Ge Shouli came to his senses and knew what his problem was.
He was talking about rules, and His Majesty was talking to him about facts. He kept saying that I was here to support Kuang Fu, and he could withstand the difficulties. In the end, he couldn't even answer the doubts of the ten-year-old emperor, so what else could he talk about about Kuang Fu and Prime Minister?
The court discussion is still going on, and the matter of Qi Jiguang Machinery sending Dong Hu's nephew back to Beijing is on the agenda.
Zhang Juzheng meant to open the Desheng Gate and go to the Ministry of War to collect the reward at the Fengtian Palace. Yang Bo proposed that Qi Jiguang hand over the criminals in Beitucheng and collect the reward in Beitucheng and return to Jizhou as soon as possible. The reason was that he was afraid that the northern captives would go south again. As the commander-in-chief, Qi Jiguang had to go back as soon as possible.
Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites, also expressed his opposition to Qi Jiguang's entry into the city. General Bian entered the city without any reason, which was inconsistent with etiquette.
Zhu Yijun found it extremely amusing. Here, Tan Lun of the Jin Party rebelled and was of the same mind as Zhang Juzheng, while over there, Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites promoted by Zhang Juzheng, stabbed Zhang Juzheng in the back and started playing with the Jin Party.
Lu Shusheng was from Huating in Songjiang Prefecture, the same person who served as Xu Jie's first assistant in the Ming Dynasty. Lu Shusheng was a fellow villager of Xu Jie. When Xu Jie was in charge of the Imperial Academy, he was the teacher of Zhang Juzheng and Lu Shusheng.
After more than ten years of ups and downs, Xu Dang, who defeated Yan Song back then, has long since given up everything. Most of those who are still in the court have fallen into the arms of Jin Dang or Zhang Dang.
Zhang Juzheng and Lu Shusheng were classmates, so after Emperor Longqing's great success and the vacancy of the Minister of Rites became vacant, Lu Shusheng became the Minister of Rites on the recommendation of Zhang Juzheng.
Then, when Luo Gongchen wanted to collect the tax on foreign ships, when Qi Jiguang returned to the court to receive his reward, and when the emperor's relatives paid mulberry leaves, Lu Shusheng stabbed Zhang Juzheng three times in the back.
Zhang Juzheng was not too persistent and continued to preside over the court discussion until the end.
"Your Majesty, please pay your respects. I'll take my leave." Upon seeing the ceremony, the ministers began to withdraw from the Wenhua Hall, while the attendants, lecturers, and scribes began to enter.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend someone. This person is originally from a farmer. He is familiar with farming and has extraordinary insights into farming. He is a native of Guixi, Jiangxi and was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing."
"Has Mr. Yuan Fu ever farmed?" Zhu Yijun asked without seeming to care.
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "I planted it when I was very young, but after I became a child, I never went to the fields again. Your Majesty has doubts, but I can't answer them, so I recommend others."
"Oh? Since he was recommended by Yuan Fu, where is this person now?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "People are running around in the capital."
Zhang Juzheng was a military household. The military garrison in the Ming Dynasty was both farming and farming. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng did go to the fields when he was a child, but it was just for fun. After studying, he stopped farming and concentrated on studying to obtain fame. He was a scholar at the age of twelve, a scholar at the age of sixteen, and a Jinshi at the age of twenty-three. He was even less capable.
The Xu Zhenming he recommended had nothing to do with the Jin Party in the DPRK, and had little to do with Zhang Juzheng. He was a new Jinshi, and his ranking was not high.
The imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty had a clique relationship, but the examination ranking was relatively low, so he was not qualified to be the examiner.
For example, the examiner in Longqing's fifth year was Zhang Siwei, but Zhang Siwei was not Xu Zhenming's tutor. Xu Zhenming just wanted to be under Zhang Siwei's name, and Zhang Siwei was willing to accept him.
Xu Zhenming didn't know how to do anything but cultivate fields and water conservancy.
This person went to Shanyin, Zhejiang, to serve as a county magistrate, and cultivated 39,000 acres of land a year. Just when Xu Zhenming was planning to continue his efforts to promote land reclamation and water conservancy, he touched the interests of the powerful and powerful people in Shanyin, and was blocked from continuing. In addition, the court said Officials were impeached and land reclamation and breeding activities were completely stopped.
Zhang Juzheng has read Xu Zhenming's memorial. Among other things, he is a good farmer.
After being impeached by Yan Guan, Xu Zhenming lived idle and returned to the capital, hoping to find someone to recommend him, but he never found a way. In the court, it was either the Jin Party or the Zhang Party. Whether it was Yang Bo or Zhang Juzheng, they were not the same. Xu Zhenming, who was born as a Jinshi in Sanjia and served as a county magistrate in Shanyin, can serve.
It's not that easy to become a disciple of Zhang Juzheng or Yang Bo.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "After I practice martial arts today, I will ask him to come to Jingshan and I will meet him."
Zhang Juzheng began to talk about the banquet. For an hour, half an hour was about the Analects of Confucius, and half an hour was about Emperor Jian Tu Shuo. Every time he had doubts, Zhang Juzheng answered them very carefully. Some of the questions asked by His Majesty the Emperor were so sharp that even Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister, It’s all a bit difficult to answer.
Zhang Juzheng sat upright and said: "The Master said: "If you don't worry about others, you don't know yourself; when you worry, you don't know others. "
"The Master said: Don't worry that others don't understand you, just worry that you don't understand others."
"A gentleman behaves honestly and does not do things just to let others know."
"When you do good deeds, you are afraid that your majesty will not know about it, you are afraid that you will not get a title or official position; you have insights but do not share them with others, and you are worried that others will take away your reputation. These are the worries of those who seek fame. Son."
"A gentleman's virtue, conduct, and knowledge are all his own. Whether others know it or approve it is nothing to worry about. It will not affect a gentleman's behavior."
"Your Majesty is above the ninth level. If you can't tell who is virtuous and who is mediocre, or whether government orders are beneficial or harmful, you will be easily deceived by others, so you should be vigilant."
"The minister explains: The way of a gentleman is to be honest in one's heart; to act independently and to have a pure heart is the foundation."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked: "Xu Zhenming cultivates 39,000 acres of land. If a family of four has 20 acres of land, it can support two thousand households and live for thousands of people. He neither claims credit nor is famous. How can he be called a gentleman?"
"You are a gentleman." Zhang Juzheng replied solemnly. If Xu Zhenming was not a gentleman, Zhang Juzheng would not recommend him.
"Qi Jiguang trained hard for three years with an army of six thousand, and fought fiercely for more than ten years to defeat the Japanese. He fought thousands of miles away without disturbing any household. He had strict military discipline and was famous both inside and outside. When he reached Jizhou, he kept the northern captives away from the Great Wall. His title was not obvious. But Call him a gentleman?"
"A gentleman." Zhang Juzheng noticed something was wrong, but he still answered the question head-on. Qi Jiguang should have been knighted based on his military merit, but where was his title? What did Qi Jiguang say?
Qi Jiguang said: It is not my intention to be granted the title of Marquis, but I hope the sea will be peaceful.
Zhu Yijun wrote down the names of Xu Zhenming and Qi Jiguang, read them for a long time and then said: "Xu Zhenming gave birth to a large number of people and did not ask for credit or gain fame. Now he is living idle; Qi Jiguang fought from the north to the south, defeated the Japanese invaders and rejected the northern invaders. He has no title and no title."
"Mr. Yuan Fu, tell me, why Xu Zhenming has no way to appeal? Qi Jiguang Machinery sent Dong Hu's nephew to the capital, why can't he go to the capital to receive the reward? He can only stop at Beitucheng, collect the reward and return urgently, and he is not allowed to stay?"
really!
Zhang Juzheng knew that giving a feast to the little emperor would never be so smooth sailing!
Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and said: "Xu Zhenming does not need to ask for help, he has been recommended by the minister, and Qi Shuai will not just stay in Beitucheng."
Xu Zhenming had no way to appeal to Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng was thinking that the emperor had to find a professional to ask Nong Sang, so he thought of Xu Zhenming. As for the border generals entering the city, Zhang Juzheng had already made plans.
Zhang Juzheng took a trick here. Your Majesty asked the rules with facts, but Zhang Juzheng avoided the rules and talked about the facts. This is sophistry. However, from the perspective of rules, Zhang Juzheng was unable to answer and could only try to be vague.
A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Yijun's mouth, and he heard Zhang Juzheng's vague words.
Qi Jiguang got better and took refuge with Zhang Juzheng.
Yu Long, Qi Hu, and Yu Dayou are also famous generals in the war between Japan and Japan. They are famous all over the world for their dragon generals. Up to now, they are only fourth-rank commanders. Luo Gongchen, the coastal defense fellow, is two levels higher.
Zhu Yijun picked up the brush on the table, thought for a while and said: "Don't forget your original intention when doing things, have a heart as solid as a rock, do things down-to-earth, and make achievements. You are a true gentleman. He uses his words to make troubles out of nothing, and deliberately creates conflicts." , What a villain. Who is a virtuous minister, who is a nefarious minister, whose actions are beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and whose actions are harmful to the Ming Dynasty. If you know others, you can judge one or two based on this standard."
"It is said: The original intention is as solid as a rock, and the steadfast practice leads to the far end. He is a true gentleman; the power of words and tongue is in vain, and he is a true villain. Which one can advance, which one can retreat, which one is harmful, which one is beneficial, know yourself and know others, Think it and do it.”
Zhang Juzheng read it carefully and then solemnly said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhang Juzheng was a little confused. Feng Bao couldn't teach such a principle, and Empress Dowager Li couldn't teach such a principle. Who taught these principles?
These truths came from exactly what he, Zhang Juzheng, and His Majesty were saying word by word!
Zhang Juzheng dug around and found that these principles were all taught by him!
