When Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi heard that the little emperor had given them a step, they both breathed a long sigh of relief. If they stayed any longer, they might not be able to breathe.
The two of them bowed respectfully, bowed five times and kowtowed three times, bowed their heads and said, "I will leave."
Let Zhang Juzheng talk about this fatal topic!
These questions for the little emperor are extremely tricky.
The two bachelors, in the presence of so many ceremonial officials, exhibition officials, waiting bachelors, waiting bachelors, and eunuchs, wrote Gao Gong's long-established poem titled "Specially set out urgent matters to support the new political affairs." "Chen Wu Shi Shu" was brought out to overturn the verdict.
They don't have the courage, let alone sell Gao Gong's theories to the little emperor.
Feng Bao didn't need to talk nonsense when he came to Empress Dowager Li. As long as he reported truthfully, Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi would be dismissed the next day because they stepped into the official office with their right foot.
The establishment of the Ming Dynasty is extremely short, with three or four people in each pit waiting to be put on the job. If it falls, it will be difficult to recover again.
To be an emperor's master is not only about true talent and learning, but also about the ability to hang out.
Zhang Juzheng's identity was the minister of the auxiliary country when the late emperor was dying. He accepted the education of the late emperor and assisted the emperor.
Zhang Juzheng was also the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. He had military, political, household, and constitutional officials under his sect. There were some words, some things, and some truths that Zhang Juzheng could say as the emperor's teacher, but Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi couldn't. They didn't have that status.
Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi walked out of the Wenhua Hall, and they both looked at each other as if they were surviving the disaster. They didn't know how Yang Bo blamed them, but if this was an old matter again, they would bring out Gao Gong's "Chen Wu Shi Shu" , then you will have bad luck tomorrow, and it will be bad luck, bloody bad luck!
Gao Gong had the late emperor's death wish, so he had to go home and live idle. When Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi said this, did they just end up going home and living idle?
Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi came out of Wenhua Hall and walked directly to Wenyuan Pavilion opposite Wenhua Hall.
The layout of Wenyuan Pavilion opposite Wenhua Hall is different from other parts of the palace.
Wenyuan Pavilion was originally the place where the Ming Dynasty emperor collected his books. The collection of books was the safest near the water, hence the word "Yuan". The glazed tiles here are black, and the five elements of water are black, which means staying away from fire. The black tiles are formed with the bright yellow glazed tiles of the Ming Dynasty Palace. A sharp contrast.
Wenyuan Pavilion is six rooms ten feet wide, less than five feet deep, and two stories high.
The corridor columns are green and the window bars are red. Amidst the sound of the gurgling water of the Jinshui River, Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi bravely let the people in Zhongshushe pass and walked in.
In the Wenyuan Pavilion, in the middle is the position of the first assistant, and on the side are the desks of the ministers. The second assistants Lu Tiaoyangzheng and Zhang Juzheng are discussing matters in the court. Zhongshu She and Xiao Huangmen carry Zuoshu to half of the room. Go and ask the Supervisor of Ceremonies to approve it.
The yamen of the Supervisor of Ceremonies is next to the Wenhua Hall. It has only half a room, which is extremely small. The Ming Dynasty Palace has a total of 9999 and a half rooms. This half room is where the eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies work.
"Mr. Zhang Ge." Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.
Zhang Juzheng was a little disappointed. He had only been lazy for a quarter of an hour. Two eloquent bachelors could not withstand His Majesty's firepower and came to ask for help.
"I already know your purpose of coming. I will go immediately. You two should go back to the official office." Zhang Juzheng did not let the two bachelors speak. He sometimes did not know how to answer the emperor's questions.
Zhang Juzheng stood up and walked towards the Wenhua Palace. Along the way, Xu Zhenming, the bachelor's student, explained to Zhang Juzheng what had just happened in the palace.
"I see your Majesty, your Majesty pays you your respects." Zhang Juzheng greeted him, then raised his hands and said, "What your Majesty is confused about is actually not difficult."
"I have "Chen Wu Shi Shu" to present to His Majesty." Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Hong, who presented it to His Majesty.
Feng Bao was shocked. What was he going to do?
Does Zhang Juzheng also want to learn Gao Gong?
Gao Gong also had five things to do, and you, Zhang Juzheng, also did five things to do? !
But Feng Bao looked around and saw that Zhang Juzheng looked normal. He finally decided to calm down and listen.
This is a very long and very formal memorial in classical Chinese. It only reads sentences and has no punctuation. It is not a common Chinese calligraphy. But Zhu Yijun can still understand it. He read it for a long time and finished it with a pencil while reading. notes.
"The first thing is that the emperor's royal gate listens to the government." Zhu Yijun looked at the carved railings and painted buildings of the Wenhua Palace and confirmed that he was already listening to the government. This was the beginning of the struggle after the decisive battle between the Jin Party and the Eunuch Party in the Ming Dynasty. The result afterwards.
The little emperor's daily life was extremely strange. The courtiers were noisy below, while the emperor was reading and listening to politics above.
But this was an unwritten rule and now it is a written rule.
Zhang Juzheng's first thing does not mean that the emperor must always attend court, or be so diligent that he must attend court three times a day like Emperor Taizu Gao, morning court, noon court, and evening court. Listening to government affairs specifically means that the Ming emperor came to the Wenhua Palace to participate in court discussions. , even if you don't speak, just listen to what the courtiers are talking about.
If you listen to politics, the courtiers can also see His Majesty.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was extremely diligent in his work, did not expect that his descendants would be able to do such a chore as emperors when they became emperors, so he did not make specific provisions in the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions".
Zhang Juzheng's request was not excessive. He asked the emperor to come to the Chang Dynasty to hear what the twenty-seven courtiers were doing, even if they didn't speak.
Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief. It was right for the emperor to go to the Wenhua Hall to listen to politics. Feng Bao was not afraid. He was representing the emperor and arguing with the courtiers. His Majesty the Emperor had made extremely high comments on Feng Bao's "Qi Ren Jing" evaluation of.
"The second thing, the discussion will eventually come to an end." When Zhu Yijun mentioned the second thing, he immediately became happy.
Zhang Juzheng's second story was actually very long, quoting scriptures, advising the emperor to be diligent, and criticizing the fact that many memorials were left unpublished, resulting in the failure of state affairs to flow normally.
In summary, this second article means that all memorials should be approved.
Zhang Juzheng's meaning was very clear. Even if the emperor drew a circle or a cross on it, it would be regarded as an endorsement. Don't stay in the palace without approval, which would be detrimental to the country.
"The third thing is to summon the auxiliary ministers to meet with the court officials." Zhu Yijun said the third thing with a serious face. The third thing for Zhang Juzheng is that if there is a major matter in the country, the auxiliary ministers should be summoned to discuss it, and they must also meet with the court officials. Twenty-seven people cannot be avoided.
The courtiers are qualified to meet the emperor. If they request an audience, the emperor should meet them all and explain many things clearly in person, and the villain's slander will not be allowed in.
There are a total of twenty-seven courtiers in the Ming Dynasty, both civil and military. If they do not see the ministers, they have to talk through the ceremonial supervisor. This will easily cause gaps, leading to misjudgments between the emperor and his ministers, disharmony between the emperor and his ministers, and unrest in the world.
"The fourth thing is that everything should be discussed, and if it is not dealt with, there will be mistakes." When Zhu Yijun talked about the fourth thing, he looked at Zhang Juzheng a little strange. As soon as the emperor agreed to this fourth thing, wouldn't Zhang Juzheng have set it up for himself? A halter?
The core of this fourth matter is that everything must go through court deliberation. This court deliberation includes civil and military affairs. There are Wu Xun of the five military governors, six ministers, ministers, officials, officials, ceremonial supervisors, and internal treasurers. Eunuch, all parties have their own positions, and we must find a compromise among the positions of all parties.
Everything must be discussed before it can be implemented. How can Zhang Juzheng act arbitrarily?
"The fifth thing is that during the three-year period of Beijing Chaos, you have six methods and four levels of palm selection." Zhu Yijun read the fifth thing and found that Zhang Juzheng was really ruthless.
When Emperor Taizu Gao made a grand plan to inspect the capital, it was initiated by the emperor and led by the Ministry of Personnel. The inspection of officials in the capital was originally conducted once every three years, but was later changed to once every ten years during the Zhengtong years.
During the Hongzhi period of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing inspection plan was changed to once every six years, but the method of the Beijing inspection was changed to self-inspection, that is, self-inspection, and just write a work summary every six years and hand it to the emperor. During the inspection in Beijing, the minister loudly complained that he was not worthy of his position and had not done well enough to resign, but the emperor refused to give in with his gentle words.
This grand plan to inspect the capital has turned into a farce, and the investigation of Beijing officials has become in name only.
Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was indeed a great filial piety person.
The six methods mentioned by Zhang Juzheng refer to the removal of promoted officials from six aspects and four corners, once every three years.
The six aspects are: inaction, carelessness, old age, illness, impetuousness, and weak talent. Corresponding to the six bad habits in the officialdom, they are idle, derelict in their duties, obsessed with power, incapable of seeing things due to illness, overstaffed, and incompetent.
The four aspects are: integrity, politics, talent, age, ethics, government affairs, talent and age, which correspond to four aspects of performance appraisal, divided into three levels, with different weights, mainly government affairs.
The fifth thing is the concrete embodiment and extension of the examination method among the officials in the capital.
Hai Rui, Xu Zhenming, and Ma Yilong from the wealthy Jinshen all ended up like that. What was Zhang Juzheng doing? He is using specific assessment methods to assess the capital officials. He is a bureaucrat, and he is a capital official in the power center of the Ming Dynasty.
If you do this, you will really be criticized verbally and written for lighting sky lanterns after death!
"Aren't you afraid, Mr. Yuan Fu?" Zhu Yijun put down the "Chen Wu Shi Shu - Zhang Ju Zheng Edition" in his hand and asked.
