Ke Dao Yan Guan went to Tianque, and the head of the criticizing ministers was about to return to the court. This calmed down the worries of Ke Dao Yan Guan for fear of hurting the ministers' ears and eyes. However, Zhang Juzheng was more worried that the emperor would hate the Ke Dao Yan Guan because of this, so he planned to remonstrate with him.
"Mr. Yuan Fu, get up and speak." Zhu Yijun looked a little unhappy. He had already explained that it was no big deal, so he just stood and said it. These false courtesy were not necessary.
As long as Zhang Juzheng does not turn his Zhang Party into an in-law or regional clan party for one day, and as long as Zhang Juzheng still regards the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty as his top priority and ambition, then Zhang Juzheng can stand upright and speak when he is the emperor.
"Ah?" Zhang Juzheng knelt down for half of the time and had no choice but to stand up. This was a matter of remonstrance.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu Gao set up a department of public officials, a censor of the capital, etc., with the functions of correcting hundreds of officials, clarifying wrongdoings, supervising various departments, and serving as the emperor's eyes and ears."
"Any minister who is treacherous, a villain, a villain, or someone who bullies and disrupts the government shall be impeached; any official who is corrupt, corrupt, and violates official discipline shall be impeached; any official who is academically dishonest, who writes a petition to change the constitution, and who wishes to advance the government shall be impeached. "
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he knew exactly what Zhang Juzheng was going to say, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuanfu, the matter of Chengtianmen Chaotian Palace has been settled. No need to say more. "Gang Xianshi Class" says: Anyone who commits a crime committed by the censor will be punished with a third-class penalty. , if there is stolen goods, then the case will be taken seriously."
"This Yan Guan made a mistake, and his crime will be increased to three levels. The censors and Ke Dao Yan Guan were just encouraged by villains. No, I asked Daban and Ge Zongxian to go and explain. They knew the truth and got After hearing the news about Haigangfeng's return to the court, most of them were extremely excited, but they also all dispersed."
"There are still some people who are respectful to the officials of Kedao. For example, the more than 30 officials who left for the first time knew the truth and chose to leave. The Han Dynasty has a loyal and loyal generation, so it is not a big deal. .”
Kedao Yanguan can criticize even the emperor. This is their job. They are responsible for correcting and impeaching, and even the chief minister can scold them. However, if they make a mistake, their crime will be increased to third level. Originally they were just exiled, but they will also be chopped off. Head, if there is stolen goods, it will be even heavier.
As for Chaotian Tower, it is the villain who is causing trouble.
Someone made a time difference. The villain likes to make this administrative time difference the most.
After yesterday's court meeting, the punishment was imposed on the officials of the three ethnic groups who excluded different subjects. As a result, the official document had to be completed the next day. The intervening day became the time for villains to cause trouble and make noise.
The censors only heard that Yan Guan was punished and didn't understand what happened. After making a little noise, and because Zhang Juzheng's reputation was so bad, didn't they come to Chaotianque?
"The villain is making noise..." Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Usually, villains making noises are defined as righteous indignation, so how to distinguish the difference?
Before the official document is issued, they continue to stir up noise and spread rumors to cause trouble. This is the work of villains;
If when the official document is issued, you are still dissatisfied with the handling and still feel that it violates etiquette, law and morality, then you are filled with righteous indignation.
Zhang Juzheng originally wanted to say a few words for the official of the Ministry of Science and Technology, so that his majesty could distinguish what is a villain's noise and righteous indignation, so that his majesty should not misunderstand that these newly promoted Jinshi are not so tactful.
But seeing what His Majesty said was clear and logical, Zhang Juzheng knew that his worries were in vain.
The young emperor was very familiar with government affairs and officialdom. Of course, it might be Feng Bao who was whispering in His Majesty's ears every day.
"Feng Daban did a good job this time. Daban is an internal official. If Daban said, they would think I was afraid. Feng Daban angered Ge Shouli and asked Ge Shouli to explain. It was just right, not bad." Zhu Yijun said to Feng Bao , of course he did not hesitate to praise him if he finished the errand.
Feng Bao smacked these words seriously. Some words have completely different effects. Who said it? When the eunuch said it, it was like the emperor and the internal affairs department were afraid. But when Ge Shouli said it, it was a decision made by the court, and it was the exercise of power and system. , this is the joint decision of the imperial court.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" Feng Bao said cheerfully. Ge Shouli couldn't even understand his little thoughts, but His Majesty could clearly see them.
"Mr. Yuan Fu, can the feast begin?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.
Reading is a top priority. If you don’t study, how can you break the indestructible ideological seal in Zhang Juzheng’s heart?
Every question Zhu Yijun asked was memetic contamination and cognitohazardous. However, as the imperial master, Zhang Juzheng had to bite the bullet and lecture on the feast. Zhang Juzheng gritted his teeth and finished speaking on the Analects of Confucius, and then took out the "Illustrated Commentary on the Imperial Mirror" to start. the story in it.
Today we are talking about Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Juzheng stood upright and spoke eloquently: "The King of Qin defeated Song Jingang and defeated Song Jingang's men in Luzhou. Taking advantage of the victory, he pursued the enemy. He traveled 200 miles day and night and fought dozens of rounds before defeating Song Jingang's army."
"When the army was stationed at Gaobi Ridge, the general manager Liu Hongji said: Your Majesty, Po Thief, has taken advantage of the victory to pursue this far, and the credit is enough. If we go deeper, I am afraid it will be dangerous. Besides, the soldiers are hungry and tired, so it is best to stay in Gaobi Ridge and wait for the logistics. It’s not too late to supply supplies and then attack Song Jingang.”
"The King of Qin replied: Song Jingang has no choice but to run away. The soldiers are alienated from their moral principles. It is difficult to get credit, but it is easier to fail. If we wait at Gaobiling while Song Jingang regroups, it will be too late. We are loyal to the country, how can we Don’t worry about your own life!”
"Then the King of Qin marched and pursued King Kong of the Song Dynasty to Queshu Valley, defeating King King Kong of the Song Dynasty eight times in a row. At this time, the King of Qin had not eaten for two days and had not taken off his armor for three days. There was only one sheep left in the army, but the King of Qin still fought with the soldiers. Divide the sheep and eat them.”
"Song Jingang still had 20,000 people. The King of Qin sent Li Shiji, the general manager, to fight, but failed to defeat him. The King of Qin led another 3,000 people and unexpectedly came from the rear, completely defeating Song Jingang. Song Jingang escaped with more than 100 cavalry, and the King of Qin pursued him. Zhang Nanbao failed to catch up with Song Jingang."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "Isn't it a bit exaggerated to travel more than two hundred miles in one day and night?"
Zhang Juzheng said quite confidently: "The Tang army can do it, and our Ming army can do it too. It's enough to travel two hundred miles a day and night with light equipment and strong generals."
"On September 12, the 23rd year of Jiajing, after the great victory at Niutian, the southern troops, led by Commander Qi, marched to Xinghua and then to Lindun. They marched for one hundred and forty miles in one day and stopped at night. They arrived at Lindun early the next morning. Dun."
"Another day, the Japanese pirates' lair in Lindun was pacified, more than 2,000 were beheaded, and 30,000 were captured."
When talking about the southern soldiers Qi Jiajun, Zhang Juzheng straightened his back.
"So, in addition to the Nan soldiers, do our Ming army have soldiers who can travel two hundred miles?" Zhu Yijun only learned about the terrifying combat power of the Qi family army after hearing this.
One hundred and forty miles in a day, is this still a human being? Zhu Yijun expressed doubts as a military blind man. Is this person flying in the sky or flying close to the ground?
"No more." Zhang Juzheng said slightly discouraged when he heard the ten-year-old emperor's inquiry.
Your Majesty, it is true that you will not open any pot.
If there is still such a strong army, it will be the turn of the Northern prisoners to be rampant in Datong, Xuanfu for twelve years?
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "In the battle of Queshu Valley, King Qin defeated Song Jingang and won all eight formations. The Tang army's morale was strong due to the new victory, but it is understandable that Song Jingang's tribe suffered a new defeat and their morale was sluggish."
"Your Majesty, the Bird and Mouse Valley is extremely dangerous. Only birds and rats can pass through it. The height difference is tens of feet. Only four or five people can pass through it at the same time. One man can't pass the barrier without ten thousand people." Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and explained. .
Just like Qi Jiguang defeated Lin Dun, the Japanese pirates entrenched in Lin Dun are not weak. Lin Dun is surrounded by ditches and criss-crosses, and the terrain is extremely complex. There are only two roads that can lead to it, one is the main road, called Huangshi Avenue, and the other is the west road. Hong Xiaolu.
After Qi Jiguang fell into the trap of the spies, he still captured Lin Dun in one day and night, beheading 2,000 people and taking more than 30,000 prisoners.
The King of Qin, Li Shimin, was able to win all eight formations in Queshu Valley and win the pass. It was by no means as easy as a sentence of extenuating circumstances. Song Jingang was weak because he encountered the weakness of the King of Qin, and the Japanese pirates were weak because they encountered Qi Jiguang.
On top of the cliff, there was a fierce battle on the narrow mountain road. The hungry and tired soldiers were victorious in all eight formations. In a simple sentence, how much hardship was behind it?
The boring history suddenly became alive.
"What happened to Song Jingang?" Zhu Yijun knew that King Qin Li Shimin later became emperor.
Zhang Juzheng talked about "Emperor's Illustrations" because he hoped that the emperor could follow the example of the previous emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty and be a virtuous and wise king. The Ming Dynasty really needed a hero to lead the Ming Dynasty to its resurrection.
Zhang Juzheng knew that he was not good enough. He was just a minister. Historically, any reform initiated by ministers could not succeed without the support of the emperor and the lord.
The emperor asked where Song Jingang had gone.
Zhang Juzheng replied: "Song Jingang's hundred cavalry escaped and entered the Turks. They were caught by the Turks and chopped in half."
Zhu Yijun asked again: "What is Prince Li Jiancheng doing at this time?"
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Prince Li Jiancheng, the phoenix dances with the luan and sings to extravagant his desires, the green carriage and the carved chariot lead him to joy. The concubine is full of baby's arms, full of thoughts. She is always noble but wants to surrender, and every time she pretends to be extravagant, she makes an appointment."
"The dancing phoenix and luan song satisfies the prince's extravagant desires, and the green carriage and chariot guide the prince's happiness. The Crown Princess Zheng begged the prince to lower his expenses when he was noble. Whenever the prince was arrogant and extravagant, the princess would Advise the prince to be simple."
"The King of Qin later became the emperor, so he naturally flattered his ministers and followed the trend, so he slandered the prince Li Jiancheng to please Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty." Zhu Yijun asked with a little doubt after hearing this.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. I did not quote the records in the old and new Tang books and "Zizhi Tongjian", but quoted from the epitaph of the Crown Princess Zheng. When the Crown Princess Zheng died, Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty It’s been twenty-seven years since we’ve been on the road, and the past is long gone.”
"The Old and New Tang Books and Zizhi Tongjian do not record Prince Li Jiancheng's extravagance word for word."
Compiling history must be a taboo for respectable people, so Li Jiancheng's extravagant extravagance was covered up in the history books. Instead, it was recorded on the epitaph of Crown Princess Zheng, which also answered a question.
Why was Li Jiancheng so heartbroken during the Xuanwu Gate Incident?
Crown Princess Zheng died in the third year of Shangyuan, which was twenty-seven years after Li Shimin's death, and it was twenty-three years in Zhenguan. When Crown Princess Zheng passed away, a full fifty years had passed since the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
What a long time is fifty years? Long enough for the world to talk about the Xuanwumen Incident, it is just a topic of conversation, just a fragment of history.
Fifty years have passed and things have changed, but the inscriptions on the epitaphs have become more real.
"That's it." Zhu Yijun noticed that Zhang Juzheng was talking about history, and he highlighted one point of rigor. When he mentioned the Battle of Queshu Valley, he was talking about King Qin, and when he mentioned the epitaph of Princess Zheng's family, it was talking about Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty. All of the quotes were from their sources. Take responsibility for every word you say.
Zhang Juzheng is indeed a scholar. When he talks about this, he is not trying to argue who is right or wrong about the Xuanwu Gate Incident, but he hopes that the little emperor can actually understand some truths.
During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin killed his elder brother and younger brother, and forced Li Yuan to abdicate and become emperor.
Emperor Taizongwen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, also rebelled and usurped the throne. When Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Zhu Biao were still alive, did Zhu Di dare to do something like the Xuanwu Gate Incident?
You should not dare.
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Di, Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, both had military talents. These people with military talents could really do whatever they wanted on the battlefield.
After Zhu Yijun heard the whole story, he thought for a moment and said: "The King of Qin is willing to share a sheep with his soldiers. The prince is dancing with phoenixes, singing with phoenixes, singing with green chariots and chariots. There is nothing more popular than this."
"The warriors are half dead in front of the army, but the beauties are still singing and dancing under the tent."
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng was very pleased that the little emperor understood what he meant. This was the best. He did not expect the little emperor to be as wise and powerful as Li Shimin, but he very much hoped that the emperor would not be extravagant and unwarranted.
Ming Dynasty really can't stand the torment of a faint master.
