When His Majesty the Little Emperor refused Zhang Siwei to return to the court on the grounds that he was ugly and unsightly, the ministers were worried or expected that there would be a conflict between the imperial power and the Prime Minister's power. However, the Little Emperor seemed to really think Zhang Siwei was ugly and the court discussed it. Memorial, the little emperor never expressed his opinions again.
The government is operating as usual.
That night, the newly promoted leader of the Jin Party, Ge Shouli, invited all Jin Party officials in Beijing to the Jin Party Hall. Ge Shouli was extremely nervous about this invitation. Initially, he thought no one would come, but at night, the banquet he prepared , are not enough.
After all, it was only twenty taels of silver for a table, and he had set up five tables, which was ten taels of silver. Ge Shouli hadn't received Tan Jing Bing Jing yet, so it was all his own money.
With Yang Bo taking office, Wang Chonggu was transferred back to Datong, Xuanfu. The only person who could speak for the Jin Party above the court discussion was Ge Shouli. This was also Yang Bo's arrangement in order for Ge Shouli to secure his position as party leader.
Yang Bo did not stay in the capital. He came out of Wenhua Palace and got on the bus directly at West Chang'an Gate to go home. He didn't even attend the banquet for the inauguration of Party leader Ge Shouli and ran as fast as he could.
Ge Shouli invited everyone to come and recognize their faces at the banquet and listen to what the new party leader had to say. Everyone still had to give this face.
As Yang Bo's son-in-law, Ge Shouli was promoted to party leader. Everyone knew that Yang Bo didn't have that daughter, so no one could see her, right?
The new leader of the Jin Party came out, and the noisy banquet hall slowly became quiet.
Ge Shouli said: "Thanks to Grandmaster Yang for not giving up, I have been promoted to be the owner of this Jin Guild Hall. I will establish a few rules here today. Please listen to me."
"From today on, this Quanjin Guild Hall is no longer a private residence. My private residence only has the backyard and no one is allowed to trespass. I know it is difficult to live in the capital. If it is difficult, you can live here for four silver dollars a year."
The Quan Jin Guild Hall is open to Shanxi students who come to Beijing every Enke Conference. There are also many places to stay here.
He needed money for house repairs, money for servants, and money for cleaning. Ge Shouli didn't have much money, and he wasn't sure whether he would have income from Tanjing and Bingjing. In order to win over people, he simply rented out the Quanjin Guild Hall. , You must know that in the capital, renting a house alone costs more than ten taels of silver a year, and if you want to rent a house, it costs at least more than a hundred taels of silver.
Zhang Siwei definitely doesn't need it, but not everyone in the Jin Party has Zhang Siwei's background, especially the Kedao Yanguan, who doesn't have much money.
"Is what Ge Zongxian said true?" A Hanlin native of Shanxi stood up and asked in surprise.
"Of course." Ge Shouli said with a smile: "It's not easy for everyone, so just providing a place to shelter from the wind and rain is nothing."
There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, which can shelter all the poor people in the world with joy.
"Ge Gong is so righteous! We can't stop admiring him!" This Hanlin official kowtows to Ge Shouli. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. This Hanlin member prides himself on being a little arrogant and refuses to join in with others when he becomes an official. His life is a bit rough. Seemingly embarrassed, Ge Shouli's appearance came at a perfect time.
Ge Shouli said with a smile: "The second thing is this filial piety. It is difficult for everyone to do this every year. From now on, it can be less, just half, for a period of three years. If you really don't do it, the most you can do is delay it." In March, I returned the waist card from the Quanjin Guild Hall. Whenever I get it, I can come back to collect it."
The maximum standard of Bingjing Tanjing is one thousand taels, and the minimum is one hundred taels. As the head of Kedao Yanguan, Ge Shouli scratches his head every year for this little filial piety. If he hadn't become a Jinshi candidate, he would have gained a lot. He could raise some money by donating his acres of land in order to be tax-free. This filial piety was difficult for him.
Ge Shouli knew very well what he was dealing with. His abilities were limited and he couldn't help with big things, but he could help with small things. He could just give it half and save himself from complaining when the time came.
The reason for the three-year period was that Ge Shouli was not sure whether he could survive three years under Zhang Juzheng.
"Ge Gong is so righteous and honest! We are a role model for you!" When a censor heard that Ge Shouli had cut his filial piety in half, he immediately stood up and shouted urgently.
Ge Shouli continued: "The third thing is that I set up a home school, just outside the Quanjin Guild Hall. If you have children who want to attend a private school, you can go there. Ge Shouli is not talented. After all, he is a Jinshi, and occasionally I will go and have a look. Most of the teachers I recruit are from the Imperial College. Before your children are admitted to the Imperial College, you can come here to study first and save yourself the trouble of traveling."
This home school was originally run by Yang Bo and was not open to the public. It was mainly used to educate his children and grandchildren. As soon as Yang Bo left and the home school had no students, Ge Shouli came up with an idea and became a member of the Jin Party. Private school.
Daughters can be admitted to the home school, so fellow Jin party members who live in the Quan Jin Hall can also temporarily put their children in this home school, regardless of gender.
Jia Sanjin stood up suddenly, raised his fists, and shouted loudly: "Gong Ge's good deeds, such good deeds! From now on, follow Ge Gong's lead!"
Jia Sanjin has encountered difficulties recently. He has a son and a daughter who are both old enough to go to school, but they have nowhere to turn. The price of a better private school in Beijing is high, and the journey is still far away. He lives in an outer city. , good private schools are all in the East and West cities. If you can live in the Quanjin Guild Hall, your son can also attend the family school in the Quanjin Guild Hall.
As for his daughter, she can only be educated at home. Who can think highly of him, Jia Sanjin, if she can purchase a home school?
At this time, when Jia Sanjin heard about such a good thing, he was dismissive of Ge Shouli and immediately expressed his attitude - Ge Gong is his reincarnated parent!
As soon as Ge Shouli was given these three benefits, he immediately gained a large number of fans, and he could barely maintain the situation.
"Speaking of business, Yuan Fu, he is so powerful!" When Ge Shouli said this, he began to feel heartbroken!
Ge Shouli said a lot of things eloquently, mainly what Yang Bo said, denounced Zhang Juzheng for his high power, wanted to respect the power of the master, and firmly opposed Zhang Juzheng's arrogance of divine weapons.
In fact, within the Jin Party, there are some who disagree with the actions of Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu. If not, Tan Lun and Wang Guoguang would not abandon the Jin Party.
But now, Ge Shouli changed his approach, flexibly grasped Zhang Juzheng's painful foot, and established a common goal. As for whether the effect was good or not, at least Ge Shouli put forward a program that seemed to be effective.
Ge Shouli said earnestly: "At the moment, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty in the palace have deep resentment towards our Jin Party. Your Majesty views us as clan parties. The first thing to do now is to plug the holes built by Xuanda Ding. Change the Queen Mother Your Majesty’s view of us is that people cannot be useless and useless, otherwise they will eventually be eliminated.”
Wang Chonggu returned to Datong, Xuan Mansion, to mend the hole. This hole was dug by the Jin Party. If the Jin Party did not plug this hole, Zhang Juzheng could use this matter at any time to criticize the Jin Party, but the Jin Party had no power to fight back.
While putting forward the program, Ge Shouli also put forward specific methods. Although he was far inferior to Yang Bo as a party leader, he was still a qualified party leader.
At least Ge Shouli recalled Ma Fang from his home life and recalled him to the capital. Although he had no official position, he was still the vice president of the capital camp who promoted generals and could participate in matters in the capital.
The most discussed topic in the Jin party's meals and drinks was Zhang Siwei's appearance. Zhang Siwei did not come to participate. Since he has no official status, he is not qualified.
Zhang Siwei really defeated Ge Shouli and became the party leader. Everyone in the party, looking at that face, would always think of that ugly word.
Things like cohesion are lost little by little.
As Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu left the central government, and Zhang Siwei could not return to the court because he was ugly, the Jin Party placed its hopes on the honest Ge Shouli. At the same time, the imperial examination method also began to be promoted from the capital to the whole country and abroad. .
Hundreds of officials in the capital were tortured for half a year by being tested into law. There was no end to the quarrels. The impeached emperor refused to deal with it and could not deal with it. Among the three assistant ministers, only Zhang Juzheng was left. Zhang Juzheng was also dismissed. Is it possible to let a ten-year-old be the director? thing?
Under this situation, the officials in the capital are extremely determined to implement the examination method throughout the country!
They have suffered so much that the local officials should also suffer!
If Zhang Juzheng used the imperial examination method to put halters on all the officials in the capital, then all the officials in the capital and the six yamen would put halters on the local officials.
Amidst the wailing, the voices of scolding Zhang Juzheng grew louder and louder. The officials who had expected Hai Rui to return to Beijing and give Zhang Juzheng some color were shocked to find that Hai Rui was also one of the supporters of the legal exam. .
Amid stumbles and a lot of opposition, the examination method was implemented as scheduled.
A piece of news spread throughout the capital as if it had wings.
When the late emperor ascended the throne and His Majesty ascended the throne, Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo who held the title of Governor, fell ill.
The illness of this nobleman who served for three dynasties gradually worsened. Even Chen Shigong, a master of surgery, rushed from the Jiecu Hospital to the Chengguo Palace, but he was helpless to deal with Zhu Xizhong's condition.
"Mr. Chen, how is Duke Cheng's condition?" Zhu Yijun, who had finished his martial arts training, looked at Chen Shigong who entered the palace and asked.
Chen Shigong glanced at Tishuai Zhu Xixiao, bowed his head and said, "During the Gengxu Rebellion, Cheng Guogong defended day and night, leaving old wounds that are difficult to heal with medicine and stone."
Chen Shigong actually didn't finish his words. The pain of recurrence of old injuries is a kind of torture that is worse than life for the current Cheng Guogong. This kind of torture will exhaust Zhu Xizhong's energy and energy. If he dies at this time, it will not be a bad thing. Not a relief.
"Tishuai will accompany me to have a look later." Zhu Yijun heard this and felt a little emotional. The problems in the capital camp of the Ming Dynasty have been suffering for a long time. Duke Cheng has tried his best. In this troubled Jialong era, Zhu Xizhong took care of himself. Everything that can be done has been done.
Zhu Yijun rarely went to Jingshan to hoe the earth. Instead, after practicing martial arts, he changed his clothes and went to Chengguo Duke's Mansion.
When Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, Duke Cheng Guo held the crown in his hands. This was the merit of following the dragon. Due to emotions and reasons, even the young emperor should go and see it. Of course, if he didn't go, no one would say anything.
Chengguo Duke's Mansion is located to the north of Taiye Lake and east of Deshengmen Inner Street. It is very close to the palace. Zhu Yijun did not ride in a sedan chair, but walked there. Not far away, he left the north gate of Taiye Lake. We arrived at the residence of Duke Chengguo.
Knowing that Duke Cheng's time was running out, the British Duke Zhang Rong also came to visit Duke Cheng's mansion. He happened to see the young emperor leaving the palace from the north gate of Taiye Pool, shouting and following, walking like a dragon and a tiger.
"I pay homage to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty." Zhang Rong hurried forward to pay homage.
In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, the north was full of smoke, and the Japanese pirates were all over the southeast. Dong Yikui and Liu Xian, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi and Zhejiang, and Li Long, the governor in charge of Jinyiwei, were impeached by the officials and the rest were punished. Zhang Rong Although he was exempted from punishment because of his honor, he also faded away from the center of the imperial court. Zhu Yijun only met the British Duke Zhang Rong once at the court meeting when he ascended the throne and Qi Jiguang returned to Beijing.
"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun helped Zhang Rong up and walked into the Duke Cheng's mansion.
Zhu Xizhong wanted to go out to greet him, but he could no longer stand up, so he had to meet His Majesty on the sick bed.
"Your Majesty, I am terrified. I am above all the nobles, but I can't accomplish anything. I feel ashamed to trust the World Temple, the late Emperor, and Your Majesty." Zhu Xizhong was lying on the bed, looking at the concerned look on the little emperor's face, and felt extremely guilty.
In the 18th year of the Jiajing reign, Emperor Jiajing of Shimiao visited Weihui in the south. A fire broke out in his palace. During the fire, Zhu Xizhong protected Shimiao with his body and waited until Lu Bing arrived before escaping from the fire. He crossed the river to serve on the boat and sailed it, thus saving Emperor Jiajing's life. After that, Zhu Xizhong held the crown of festival.
"Cheng Guogong has tried his best. It is not the fault of loving you that the state affairs are so corrupt." Zhu Yijun shook his head. Hundreds of households in the capital looked down on General Yum Qi Jiguang. This is not because Zhu Xizhong is incompetent. In fact, the Beijing camp is different from the frontier army. In the capital, there is no small matter, and it must be handled by the emperor himself.
However, since Wuzong, the emperor had not been in Beijing for more than seventy years, and Zhu Xizhong was helpless.
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial. Please consider it before leaving." Zhu Xizhong signaled to his younger brother Zhu Xixiao to get the memorial he had written long ago, handed it to Zhang Hong, and coughed twice.
Through the normal process, Zhu Xizhong's memorial had to go through the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, then go through the Ministry of War, then go to the General Affairs Department, and finally enter the cabinet. These three processes can be completed by following the procedures.
But how long it will take to complete the journey mainly depends on the mood of the military leaders, which is not conducive to their own memorials. They always procrastinate and put them in the corners for several months.
The situation in the court is changing, just like a fleet of fighter planes. If things go on like this, martial arts will naturally decline.
It has been like this since the first generation of British Duke Zhang Fu failed to fight against San Yang in the first year of Zhengtong.
Later, the first British Duke Zhang Fu, as the minister of the auxiliary country, simply could not go to court. Even the eunuch Xi Ning in the palace was able to bully the British Duke.
Wu Xun wanted to say something. Several months had passed before the emperor saw Wu Xun's opinion.
But now Zhu Xizhong took advantage of the opportunity when the emperor came to his house for medical treatment, and suddenly took out a memorial that was not in the process, and the content of this memorial was to boost the Beijing camp.
"Shuai Qi returned to the capital to serve as the chief military officer of Tijing Camp?" Zhu Yijun just read a few lines before saying in great surprise.
Zhu Xizhong said sincerely: "Moving to Anbo is also a noble honor. Your Majesty, it is indeed hard to parade the army and horses every day, but no matter how hard it is, the Beijing camp will not be strong and the world will not be peaceful. Although Your Majesty is young, he is perseverant in martial arts and has given up to his younger brother many times." His Majesty's perseverance is greatly admired."
"Your Majesty, please consider it."
If the little emperor had not been ambitious and perseverant, Zhu Xizhong would never have received this objectionable memorial.
After all, after the Beijing camp was established, the emperor had to go to the Beijing camp every day to parade the troops and horses. This was after all an ancestral rule. When Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Sun stopped the parade because the emperor was too young. The Beijing camp was in ruins.
However, the little emperor Hongyi has the world in mind and perseveres. He has never been absent for half a year. In the scorching summer, no matter how tired and miserable his majesty is, he will still complete his daily martial arts training. The commander-in-chief Zhu Xixiao admires the little emperor's perseverance very much. At the age of ten, he practiced martial arts by hiding whenever he could and resting whenever he could.
If Zhang Juzheng was not in charge, but Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Gao Gong were in charge, Zhu Xizhong would not have received this memorial.
It is normal for the chief minister in the court to be a scholar and not to cheer up the capital. If the emperor is too powerful, the civil servants should be afraid.
But unfortunately, Zhang Juzheng was in the country now. In the second year of Longqing, Zhang Juzheng promoted Qi Jiguang to return to Beijing to serve. The first thing Qi Jiguang did was to serve as the deputy general of Shenjiying, one of the three major battalions of the Beijing camp.
But at that time, the imperial court was in high power, and Qi Jiguang had no choice but to go to Jizhou, the gateway to the capital, to train new soldiers.
If the young emperor did not come to visit his doctor, Zhu Xizhong's memorial would have to go to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and then to the Ministry of War. By then, Zhu Xizhong would have completed the last journey of his life. Even if the memorial reached the court meeting, it would not cause any waves.
But the young emperor came to visit his family, and Zhu Xizhong didn't care about the rules. He was about to die. How could those civil servants overthrow his Chengguo Duke's palace? !
Therefore, Zhu Xizhong proposed that Qi Jiguang return to the capital as Wu Xun, serve as the chief military officer of the capital, and revitalize the military camp.
As the chief military officer of the Beijing camp, Zhu Xizhong is fully qualified to recommend a new chief military officer.
"Cough cough cough!" Zhu Xizhong couldn't see the emperor's expression clearly. He coughed hard several times and said very sincerely: "Your Majesty, don't worry about the source of troops. The old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Beijing camp will form an old camp and move to the capital." Nanhaizi in the southern suburbs did not do anything or fight, let them rot in Nanhaizi, and then recruit troops from all over the country."
"The old camp is the army, and the new camp is the soldier. In this way, the conflict between the north and the south in the Beijing camp will not be so fierce. Everyone comes from all over the world and is divided into separate groups."
"Don't need too many at the beginning. Thirty thousand troops are enough. No, twenty thousand or even ten thousand is completely enough. If there are thirty thousand sharp soldiers, the world will be safe."
"It costs a lot of money but does not raise troops. It is humiliating."
"The barbarians and their horses were drinking in the suburbs, and the smell of killings was heard in the city gates. They asked for help with the threat of soldiers, and I responded with my poor plan! Isn't it an insult to accept the money from the city's alliance! Your majesty's imperial edict, I remember it, your majesty , I remember."
"The Lord of the Temple is humiliated, I am injured, the people of the capital are robbed, the border is unrest, the clan party is powerful in the court, Your Majesty! I am humiliated! The ancestors are humiliated! The clan party bullies Your Majesty, I am incompetent, and more It’s humiliating…”
"Cough! Cough! Cough..."
Zhu Xizhong coughed violently, holding a breath of depression in his heart. With the violent cough, slightly rich and sticky reddish-brown blood slowly stretched out from Zhu Xizhong's fingers.
Zhu Yijun took a step forward, got closer, reached out and held Duke Cheng Guo's bloody hand, and said very solemnly: "Don't worry, Duke Cheng. This memorial will be discussed by the court tomorrow. Commander Qi has arrived in Beitu." City, tomorrow no matter whether Yuan Fu blocks it or not, I will worship Commander Qi as my general."
"Gong Cheng Guo has a rest. I will see Qi Shuai tomorrow and come to visit again."
The Minister of War is commonly known as Da Sima, and the chief military officer of the Beijing camp is commonly known as General.
Zhu Xizhong's memorial came at the right time.
Zhu Yijun also had this idea when he granted Qi Jiguang the title of Anbo, but the time was not very mature.
Originally, Zhu Yijun planned to let Qi Jiguang return to the capital more often as a nobleman. The more times he came back, the more affairs in the capital camp were taken care of, so it became logical.
Now that we have this memorial, there is no need to wait. After promoting the generals, Qi Jiguang will be left to serve in the Beijing camp.
After Zhu Yijun walked out of Duke Cheng's mansion, he didn't wipe the blood from his hands. He just held it like that. Standing in front of Duke Cheng's gate, he suddenly said to Zhang Hong: "Show me the Quan Chu Guild Hall."
Feng Bao was shocked and wanted to remonstrate, but he didn't know how to speak for a while. How could an emperor go to see his ministers? If your majesty has something to do, wouldn't it be better to directly see Yuan Fu?
This process is wrong!
"Can't I go?" Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao and asked with a slight frown.
"Yes! In the whole world, it's not the king's land! Of course your majesty can go!" Feng Bao immediately replied categorically that your majesty is the emperor and your majesty has the final say, just go to the Quan Chu guild hall!
What a big deal!
It's not like he sent Feng Bao to Jiejuyuan to be cut into pieces.
Feng Bao actually wanted His Majesty to let go of his hand and wipe the blood from his hand, but His Majesty just held on to the memorial.
Zhu Yijun nodded and walked towards the Quanchu Guild Hall step by step. Zhang Hong and Feng Bao were frightened. The ten-year-old master was also the emperor. How could he go directly to the Quanchu Guild Hall without saying hello?
Zhu Xixiao directed Tiqi to clear the streets, and the little emperor walked step by step along the royal road to the door of the Quanchu Guild Hall. Tiqi and the eunuch, who ran fast, had already informed Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng was shocked when he heard the news. He came to the door as fast as possible from Wenchang Pavilion. As soon as he saw the little emperor's ceremonial guard, but before he saw anyone, Zhang Juzheng knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "I see you here Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty! The emperor comes out of confinement to my humble abode, and I deserve to die for my crime."
The emperor always ordered his ministers to come to the palace for discussion. How could an emperor go to his ministers' private residences to discuss state affairs?
"Mr. Yuanfu, please wake up quickly. How can we punish you if we come without telling you? We left the palace today and came over to see if we were interested. Why didn't Mr. Yuanfu let us go in and have a look?" Zhu Yijun Said with a smile.
"Where did the blood on His Majesty's hands come from?" Zhang Juzheng just stood up and looked at the blood on the Emperor's hands. He was shocked, his face changed drastically, and a surge of anger was boiling. He thought that the assassin was the assassin of the king. It happened again!
Zhang Juzheng was so majestic that he had already told Yang Bo that the emperor's safety was the bottom line that could not be touched, yet he dared to hurt His Majesty!
lift! table! son!
"It's not my blood. Duke Cheng Guo died soon. I went to check it out. It was the blood that Duke Cheng Guo vomited on his hands because he was so angry." Zhu Yijun explained briefly and said, "Mr. Yuan Fu didn't invite us in here. Are you going to sit down at the Quanchu Guild Hall?"
"Your Majesty has arrived, it is a blessing for me! Please come quickly, please come quickly!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Juzheng realized that there had been a misunderstanding. His anger gradually subsided, so he quickly removed the threshold and put it aside before inviting the emperor in.
He did not dare to go in front of the emperor, but stood behind the emperor and accompanied the emperor to visit the Quanchu Guild Hall.
Zhu Yijun really visited. After looking at it for a long time, he felt more and more that the layout of the Quanchu Guild Hall was excellent. It was more like a home, much better than his cold Qianqing Palace.
But he just couldn't find where the legendary sedan carried by thirty-two people was. It might be hidden, or it might not exist at all.
"This is a memorial from Duke Cheng. He is leaving soon. Duke Cheng saved the emperor's grandfather from the fire. I don't want him to die in peace." Zhu Yijun finally came to Wenchang Pavilion and sat where Zhang Juzheng usually sat.
There are several Four Books and Five Classics scattered on the table, which are turned upside down. Under the paperweight, Zhang Juzheng's unfinished notes are written.
Zhu Yijun looked at it twice and smiled.
To be precise, after the emperor's sledgehammer went down, the cracks in Zhang Juzheng's ideological seal became wider and wider. Many principles that were taken for granted in the past became less natural. This made Zhang Juzheng's annotations extremely difficult. Several annotations were I revised it again and again, thanks to the pencil writing which is much more convenient.
"Your Majesty was made to laugh." Zhang Juzheng said with a little shame. As an emperor's master, he actually had some doubts.
Zhang Juzheng wanted to deal with it, but after thinking again and again, he still didn't come forward. Feng Bao kept looking around, Zhu Xixiao seemed to be facing a powerful enemy, Zhang Hong looked serious, Feng Bao was looking for a swordsman, Zhu Xixiao was afraid that Zhang Juzheng was audacious, and Zhang Hong wanted to protect His Majesty the Three Kingdoms. Within ten feet.
After Zhang Juzheng read the bloody memorial, he was silent for a long time and then said: "This matter was difficult to handle before, but it is easier to handle now."
The first assistant of the Ming Dynasty chose to tell the truth.
There are many reasons why it is difficult to handle, such as the power structure, military expenditures, the appointment and dismissal of generals, etc., but it is easy to handle. This is Cheng Guogong Zhu Xizhong's deathbed memorial. At present, Zhu Xizhong is as energetic as a thread. If this is not done, , doesn’t it mean that Duke Cheng will die with his eyes closed?
"Can it be done?" Zhu Yijun thought it would be difficult to do, so he went to the Chu Guild Hall, but judging from Zhang Juzheng's intention, it seemed that this matter was not difficult.
Zhang Juzheng looked at His Majesty's confused look, then bowed his head solemnly and said: "If Qian Anbo returns the badge of the Quanchu Guild Hall, this matter will be easier to handle."
This matter is easy to handle because His Majesty gave it to Lord Qi Jiguang. This is the first condition. In the past, Zhang Juzheng was Qi Jiguang's backer. Later, Zhang Juzheng was Qi Jiguang's shackles. Now the Ming Emperor is Qi Jiguang's backer.
"That's it." Zhu Yijun understood.
Qi Jiguang is now a martial artist, and he is qualified enough to return to Beijing to serve as the chief military officer. Even if he is a nobility, he is still a martial artist. Coupled with Qi Jiguang's strong record, it will be easy to return to Beijing to serve.
The reason why Qi Jiguang could not come back before was because Qi Jiguang was a disciple of the Zhang Party, just like Ma Gui and others promoted by Wang Chonggu could not go to the capital camp. Ma Gui and others were not nobles, and they were also disciples of the Jin Party.
"Then there is Mr. Lao Yuanfu." Zhu Yijun stood up, waved his hand and said, "Is there water? Let's wash our hands."
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Juzheng motioned to You Qi to quickly fetch water. You Qi, seeing the emperor for the first time, hurriedly fetched water.
Zhu Yijun looked at You Qi. This name has appeared many times. This is the first time Zhu Yijun has seen him. He is a little rich, with a sharp eyebrow and a fierce look. His appearance is much more pleasing to the eye than Zhang Siwei.
"It's getting late. Let's have dinner at Mr. Yuan Fu's house today. Zhang Hong, go and prepare." Zhu Yijun knew that this sudden visit might make it difficult for Zhang Juzheng. Seeing Zhang Juzheng's presence outside the door, When he knelt down to greet him, he knew that today's incident would become a stain on Zhang Juzheng.
Zhu Yijun then thought about it and had a dinner before returning to the palace. The situation changed from Zhang Yuanfu's powerful master coming to the emperor to request, to a little emperor having dinner with his sages, ministers, and masters.
The nature of the matter has changed. It has changed from Zhang Juzheng, a powerful person, to a story about a sage, a sage, and a virtuous minister. Isn't it beautiful?
Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, liked to go to Fan Kuai's house to eat dog meat. Fan Kuai used to open a dog meat shop. Before he became emperor, Liu Bang would go to Fan Kuai's house every day to eat dog meat. He just liked it. When Liu Bang became emperor, he even went to Fan Kuai's house to eat dog meat, which was an expression of trust.
Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, also liked to have dinner with his ministers. Zhao Kuangyin got the throne by bullying orphans and widowed mothers. In the era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was common to bully orphans and widowed mothers to get the throne, but this objectively caused the general who led the army. , not trusted by the emperor.
Every time there was a war in the DPRK, in order to show his trust in the generals, Zhao Kuangyin would go to have a meal to reassure the soldiers.
Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, also liked to eat at the houses of his ministers, but he went to the homes of Qin Hui and Zhang Jun. Qin Hui and Zhang Jun were both one of the murderers who contributed to Yue Fei's unjust case. After Yue Fei confessed his injustice, Zhao Gou did not dare to go to Dali Temple. Qin Hui and Zhang Jun had dinner at their house.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also liked to have dinner at the homes of his ministers. For example, he went to Dagongfang outside Xi'an Gate in Nanjing and the Wei Guogong's mansion in Xu Da, and played chess after dinner.
Xu Da was very good at chess, but he always lost to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Xu Da had deliberately given up the chess pieces, so he asked Xu Da to go all out. Xu Da won, but the flag on the chessboard displayed the word "Long Live". Zhu Yuanzhang Then he gave Mochou Lake to Xu Da and built a pavilion called Shengqi Tower (which is still there today).
Zhu Yijun went to Zhang Juzheng's house for dinner, and his behavior was not out of the ordinary. He was indeed a model of a sage and a virtuous minister. It is easier to understand that the little emperor's meal sent a signal of trust.
Zhang Hong and Zhang Luo naturally wanted to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to poison the emperor. The Quan Chu Guild Hall also had sand mixed in from the Quan Jin Guild Hall. Zhang Juzheng asked You Qi to go to the kitchen and keep an eye on it.
As a member of the Chu Party, Zhang Chucheng impeached Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu one after another. Zhang Juzheng's chef, You Qi, of course, has to keep a close eye on them.
The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal. Zhu Yijun didn't know the names of these dishes. In short, they were all delicious and tender. Zhang Juzheng was a little uneasy. What kind of etiquette should be followed when the emperor comes to eat at home? There is no record of this, and Zhang Juzheng fell into a knowledge blind spot.
As the emperor's master, Zhang Juzheng is naturally qualified to serve on the table, but what about after serving on the table?
The little emperor was asking questions all day long in the Wenhua Palace, and the people he asked were confused. Now he even asked the question to come to Zhang Juzheng's home. This was simply too much!
"Mr. Yuanfu, I asked Mr. Yuanfu before whether one side is always right in a conflict? It's been so long. Mr. Yuanfu, you haven't answered me yet. Our "Contradiction Theory" has been missing a chapter for a long time. I always feel that it is missing. What?" Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng about his previous doubts.
That's too much!
The Wenhua Palace didn't ask enough questions and went to the private house to cause trouble!
"I am stupid, please allow me to think slowly." Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath, bowed his head and said. He had already figured out some clues, but he hadn't fully figured it out yet. He could only ask His Majesty to wait a little longer.
There is a saying: Zhang Yuanfu was so powerful that the emperor came to ask for it, and the little emperor, the sages, the ministers and the virtuous masters and disciples had dinner together. If you want to know what happened next time, let’s listen to the explanation next time! Thanks to book friend "Little Flying Carpet" for the 10,000-point reward, and thanks to book friend "軻?" for the 5,000-point reward.
