Zhang Juzheng had not yet expressed his stance, but Zhu Yijun was the first to express his stance. He did not want the money, no matter what the outcome of the court discussion was. The palace just doesn’t want this money, so do whatever you want!

Even if Zhang Siwei had no conditions, Zhu Yijun would not take it.

According to the facts, silver is just silver, no one’s name is engraved on it, and there is no argument about whether it is dirty or not.

But Zhu Yijun knew for sure that Zhang Siwei's money was money from people's blood and tears, and he would not accept it.

Wang Jiaping was at a loss for words for a moment and chose to shut up. The poor people in the palace had come to the outer court to beg for food. The Ministry of Household Affairs was still unwilling to give the money. At this point, the emperor was still unwilling to take it. This could not explain the problem. ?

It shows that the emperor really, really hates the political product of the ethnic party.

It is a normal phenomenon to form cliques. Everyone comes together around one thing and has the same ambition, but clan cliques make the emperor extremely wary.

Wang Jiaping tasted the word "clan party" again, and could only say that Zhang Juzheng had a clear eye and a vicious vision. He could distinguish the clan party from the crony party and teach it to the little emperor. He was indeed an incompetent person.

Zhang Juzheng just didn't know Wang Jiaping's thoughts. He had never taught these two words at all. It was concluded by His Majesty the Little Emperor himself based on the phenomena in the DPRK and the comparison between the Jin Party and the Zhang Party. Zhang Juzheng felt that both One word, extremely accurate!

Zhang Juzheng stood up and bowed his head and said: "Yin Zhengmao, Governor of Guangzhou, reports that Xiao Fo Langji occupied Tuen Mun Island privately and bribed Guangdong Haidao Deputy Envoy Wang Bai and Dudu Commander Huang Qing to live in Macau secretly. Governor Yin sent troops to Fifty ships besieged Tuen Mun Island, forcing the Xiaofo Langji people to leave Macau and other places."

"Hongmaofan refused to change despite repeated admonitions and deceived the court several times. Governor Yin asked for an order to increase taxes on Xiao Fo Lang Ji's people. The Ming Dynasty had a secretary. Xiao Fo Lang Ji was a merchant ship. It is better to draw two out of ten instead of six out of 100. All the increased taxes will be paid from internal funds.”

Zhang Juzheng didn't express his position, which didn't mean that he had nothing to do, but before he had time to express his position, Wang Guoguang asked him Yuan Fu's attitude towards Zhang Siwei bribing the emperor. Before he could answer, the emperor directly said no.

A key memorial should not only solve problems, but rely on this memorial to find opportunities and implement administrative orders. This is the basic instinct of a mature politician. He must continue to promote the opening of the sea.

Now that the court meeting has approved the allocation of points for foreign ships, Yin Zhengmao increased the tax on Xiaofolangji from the original 6% to 20%, which was the court's punishment for Xiaofolangji.

Zhu Yijun was stunned. Isn't Yin Zhengmao's proposal just a punitive tariff?

Punitive tariffs are used by countries that have a product advantage to increase tariffs to carry out trade protection or import surcharges with strong penalties or fines.

This kind of punitive tariff must be based on the advantages of the goods, otherwise it will just shoot itself in the foot.

The Ming Dynasty currently occupies an absolute advantage in goods, and this punitive tariff also has a strong color of differentiation between China and Yi.

Sure enough, in order to enrich the country, the Ming court would continue to evolve amid contradictions.

"Then let's discuss it. I just don't want the clan party's money." Zhu Yijun waved his little hand to express the reason for his sudden speech. He would rather go hungry than take the clan party's money. He felt dirty.

If you are hungry, you will lose weight, but if you take money from the clan party, your head will be smashed.

As soon as this was opened, clan parties were everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, bribing the emperor, 70,000 taels of silver and the complete corruption of the court's political system. Which was more serious? Although the little emperor was small, he could still carry it.

When Wan Shihe heard that the imperial court was going to impose punitive tariffs, he immediately said with dissatisfaction: "There are nine scriptures for all countries in the world, which are: to cultivate one's morality, to respect the virtuous, to be close to relatives, to respect ministers, to respect the ministers, and to educate the common people. He is a man of hundreds of works, a man from afar, and a nobleman."

"Those who are far away will return from all directions."

"Sending people to and welcoming them is a good thing, but they can't be cautious, so they are people from far away places."

This is the original text of Zhongyong. As long as the country has done these nine things well, it will be enough to ensure national security.

When Hai Rui heard what Wan Shihe said, he immediately said: "It's too soft, it won't work, the barbarians don't practice virtue, the court is kind to the little Buddha, the little Buddha, the little Buddha doesn't want to taste the grace of heaven and cultivate harmony, but instead We are pressing forward step by step and raising troops repeatedly, doesn’t Wan Shangshu know?”

"Have you been gentle?" Wan Shihe was stunned. It seemed that he shouldn't have said this!

Hai Rui's words stopped him in seconds again.

Hai Rui played a vital role in the court. As the official of the foreign court, he was responsible for the second person.

"Wan Shangshu doesn't know." Hai Rui smiled. This gentle smile was actually a great mockery. As Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, and Honglu Temple as the diplomatic department of the empire, Wan Shihe didn't know about the Ming Dynasty. Conflict with Xiao Fo Langjiren, why is he the minister?

You can sell sweet potatoes when you go home.

"It seems that Wan Shangshu really doesn't know." Tan Lun frowned and talked about the past.

The relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Xiao Fo Langji, that is, the feud with Portugal, is really a child without a mother. It’s a long story. To put it simply, this is because the Portuguese colonial mentality is deeply ingrained. They went to the Ming Dynasty and wanted to do evil and get beaten. Had a meal.

In the eighth year of Zhengde, the Portuguese businessman Jorge erected a stone pillar engraved with the coat of arms of the Portuguese King on Tuenmen Island in Guangzhou without the authorization of the Ming Dynasty, and began to enclose the land and claim it as Portuguese territory.

In the twelfth year of Zhengde, the Portuguese king sent the palace pharmacist Tomei Piles to lead twelve four-masted galleys and began "peaceful and mutually beneficial" communication and exchanges with the Ming Dynasty.

In September of the twelfth year of Zhengde, the Portuguese fleet fired artillery at the Guangzhou Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty. The sound of the artillery was like thunder. Gu Yingxiang, the official of the Guangdong Supervisory Bureau, reported to the court.

The Portuguese envoy met with Emperor Ming Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty. The Portuguese envoy, Huo Zhe Ya San, was left in the palace. Wuzong also learned foreign languages ​​from Huo Zhe Ya San.

In the winter of the same year, the Portuguese commander Simang led Portuguese soldiers to burn, kill and loot in Guangzhou. The son of the King of Malacca went to Beijing to cry out about the Portuguese atrocities in Malacca. After hearing the news, the court ordered Portugal to return the territory to Manlacca.

The confrontation between Ming Dynasty and Portugal officially began.

In the first year of Jiajing, the Portuguese envoy Huo Yasan was executed. In the third year of Jiajing, the Portuguese palace pharmacist Tomei Pires died in prison.

In the third year of Jiajing's reign, Wang Rong, deputy envoy of Guangdong Sea Route, gathered fifty warships and expelled the Portuguese on Tuen Mun Island.

In the fourth year of Jiajing, Ke Rong, the commander of the Japanese capital, and Baihu Wang Yingen defeated the Portuguese army Martin, sank two enemy ships, captured 35 people, and captured 42 people. The reason why there were only so many heads and prisoners was Because it is really difficult to fish it out if it sinks into the sea.

It was not until the 32nd year of Jiajing that the Portuguese bribed Wang Bai, deputy envoy of Guangdong Sea Route, and Huang Qing, commander of the capital, and lived in Macau secretly.

Yin Zhengmao arrived in Guangzhou two years ago to suppress bandits and pacify the Japanese. He was so busy that he found out that banditry and Japanese sentiment were related to Wang Bai and Huang Qing, so he made a report to arrest the two and escorted them to Beijing on charges of collaborating with the Japanese.

Tan Lun didn't waste much time talking. He remembered these things very clearly. In his opinion, although there were differences between Japanese pirates, Beilu and Hongmaofan, they were not very different. They were all the same thing and they could be beaten up. Be honest, if they can't be beaten, they will burn, kill and loot.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Wan Shihe and asked with a smile: "Wan Shangshu, do you still have any questions? You said you want Rouyuan people, and the court is not not Rouyuan people. We are also Rouyuan people, but what do they do?" What? Burning, killing and looting in Guangzhou, living with the Japanese pirates and snakes in Zhoushan, privately enclosing land and occupying Macau, it’s soft, but it’s useless, what do you think?”

Wan Shihe quickly shook his head and said: "No more, no more, I don't know these things, the records of Emperor Shizong have not been completed, I, I..."

"My fault, it was too slow to repair." Zhang Juzheng replied quite gently. It did take a long time to repair Shizong's Records, and Wan Shihe did not have so many channels to know these things.

Not only Wan Shihe didn't know, but Ge Shouli was also surprised after listening to Tan Lun's story about the storms at sea. It turns out that Japanese pirates and Hongmaofan are not the same thing!

In the first year of Jiajing, Xiaofo Langji's envoy Huo Zhe Yasan was beheaded. At that time, Ge Shouli and Wan Shihe were all indifferent to what was happening outside the window and only read the books of sages.

In the eyes of most Ming court officials, Hongmaofan and Japanese pirates are usually confused.

Those who do not know are not guilty, and Zhang Juzheng did not pursue excessive charges.

"Does anyone still have any objections to this tax increase?" Zhang Juzheng asked after looking around for a week.

Ge Shouli said: "Yuan Fu also said that foreign shipping of silver taels involves the implementation of a law. What should we do if Xiao Fo Langji comes here without selling silver?"

"Whether you want to come here or not, don't come if you have the ability." Wang Guoguang, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said with a smile: "They are begging us to sell things to them."

Ge Shouli showed a matter-of-fact expression and nodded and said, "That's right. I have great national treasures in the heaven, so Fanbo will naturally come."

Zhang Juzheng looked solemn. How long can Ming Dynasty maintain its product advantage?

Once the commodity advantage is lost, how much silver will be needed as a proof of transaction for so many people in the Ming Dynasty?

Without money to enter the Ming Dynasty, can one of the Ming Dynasty's weaving methods still be implemented?

This then extends to an important question: Does the Ming Dynasty want to take the silver road, which is the economic lifeline of the imperial court, into its own hands?

A picture suddenly flashed before his eyes. The little emperor was holding a prism and scattering white sunlight everywhere. He had little power but a lot of merit. This sentence kept flashing in front of him.

No matter how much he tried to ignore this sentence, he could not forget it, but he remembered it more and more clearly.

A motive seems to be sprouting inside.

"Yuan Fu?" Ge Shouli said tentatively: "I have no economic talent. I just ask because I don't understand. I have no objection. Don't get me wrong, Mr. Yuan Fu."

When Ge Shouli saw that Zhang Juzheng had not spoken for a long time, he thought that Zhang Juzheng had misunderstood. Ge Shouli and Hongmao Fan were at odds with each other, and he just didn't know how to ask.

Only then did Zhang Juzheng come back to his senses, nodded and said, "Yes."

The chief minister of the Ming Dynasty wrote the floating notes, and the memorial came to the young emperor. Zhu Yijun put his own seal on the memorial of punitive tariffs.

The court discussion is still going on, regarding the disposal of Wang Bai, the deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao, and Huang Qing, the commander-in-chief of the capital. These two people accepted bribes to allow the Xiaofo Langji people to gain a foothold in Macau, and also set up private passes to compete with foreign ships. The affair eventually resulted in the capital being escorted and Xu Xing asked questions.

After asking clearly and completing the process, there is probably only one outcome, which is to be beheaded in Caishikou.

Because the crime of these two people was conspiracy, which was a serious crime of losing their land. The red-haired fans thrived in Macau privately, which was a loss of their land.

This was the first case in the Ming Dynasty in which a local official with a name, witnesses, physical evidence, and documentary evidence collaborated with local gentry, wealthy businessmen, and conspired with other people to secretly set up gates, secretly draw points, and seek huge profits. The nature was extremely bad. At the same time, a basic fact has also been established: North Korea and China are opposing the open sea and the public opinion is competing with the people. Who are they competing for.

Feng Bao said angrily: "In the first year of Longqing, when the Lord approved Tu Zemin, the governor of Fujian Province, to ask for a memorial to Yuegang, he said:"

"It is in these places that the gentry want to do business, but they are afraid of adding a hurdle that will make it inconvenient for them to compete for their own interests. They will seek the interests of the public family at the top and the interests of the small fishermen at the bottom. They cannot set up Yuegang City Shipping Department or the Metropolitan Rating Office. Wait, and the ministers in the court say that it is harmful to the people. If it were not for the benevolent people in the court, Yuegang would not be possible."

"Looking at it again today, hey, the late emperor still thought too well of the Jin gentry. You see, this place colludes with the Jin gentry to appease the officials, bribes the ministers, and makes noise. It's awesome, it's awesome, it's amazing."

"Wan Shangshu, do you think so?"

Wan Shihe was scolded again. He used the sage teachings of the Huaiyuan people before, saying that Yuegang was nothing more than a big deal. Now Feng Bao has turned over the old score again. This eunuch is really annoying and can't do anything. Just settle old scores!

Wan Shihe said helplessly: "Well... what Feng Dajue said makes sense."

Feng Baopou sighed and said: ""Mencius: Gaozi Xia" says: The victory of benevolence over unbenevolence is like water overcoming fire. A benevolent person today is like using a cup of water to save a load of fire. If it does not go out, it is called Water cannot defeat fire. This is also true for those who are extremely unkind, they will eventually perish."

"Sage Meng said that benevolence can definitely defeat unkindness, just like water can extinguish fire. Today there are fewer and fewer benevolent people, and benevolent people do things like using a glass of water to save a cart of lit firewood."

"If you see that fire cannot be extinguished, then you say that water cannot extinguish fire, and that benevolence cannot defeat unkindness. People who say this are no different from unkindness, and are even more hateful than unkindness. The world will eventually perish."

"If it hadn't been for the many benevolent people's remonstrances and Chen Qing's interests, how would Hong Kong be safe this month? The world would be in danger."

People who are unkind are bad.

But those who see that even a drop of water cannot extinguish the fire, and cry out that water cannot extinguish the fire and that benevolence cannot overcome the unkindness, are stupid.

Feng Bao was scolding Wan Shihe for being bad and stupid. Wan Shihe was unkind, bad, and seeking his own profit. Wan Shihe was reciting the saint's teachings every day as if they were Buddhist scriptures, which was a bit stupid.

In comparison, Ge Shouli was just a bit more straightforward.

Wan Shihe sighed and decided to read more. He was scolded by the eunuchs every day and couldn't hold his head up. It was a bit embarrassing for the ministers.

Zhang Juzheng and Yang Bo originally appointed Wan Shihe as the Minister of Rites, so they kept some dogs in the Ministry of Rites to keep the government running.

Zhu Yijun smiled after hearing Feng Bao's tirade. Feng Bao was confirming what was right and what was wrong.

The disadvantages of bribery and appeasement are the major disadvantages of official governance, and Feng Bao's words clearly sort out the context.

How Southeast maritime merchants colluded with local officials in order to safeguard their own interests, this is the drawback of appeasement; bribing the ministers of the government through political brokers such as brokers and compradors is the drawback of bribery.

If the disadvantages of appeasement and bribery are not eliminated, how can we talk about official governance? Without official governance, how can we talk about the New Deal?

Later, Feng Bao used the sage's teachings, Mencius and Gaozi's allusions of a drop in the bucket to confirm the incorrectness of this approach.

Only with the standards of right and wrong can we judge right and wrong, right?

Zhang Juzheng smiled. Feng Bao's scolding was still as unpleasant as ever, and the scoldings still made people speechless.

"Yin Zhengmao, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, submitted a memorial to the Guangzhou Prefecture Navy." Zhang Juzheng calmly and methodically advanced the maritime affairs bit by bit.

"For more than ten years, the coastal areas of Guangdong have been plagued by Japanese and banditry attacks one after another, and the people have been living in dire straits."

"The defense of the Gai system was not tight, which allowed bandits and Japanese pirates to take advantage of the situation and wreak havoc. Although I was in the extreme south, I was captured and beheaded occasionally, but it was impossible to repair my injuries. Now I have rashly drafted a charter, led the soldiers to prepare for the land and water, and issued the order of rewards and punishments. Moreover, the flood control period is over, and there are no alarms at all. Although there is no capture and execution, there are many achievements in safeguarding."

"Commander Zhang Yuanxun, deputy envoy Liu Wen and other loyal servants have rendered their services. It is appropriate to record the excellent reports. Supervisor Zhengmao has defeated the Huizhou mountain bandits. When the day of the victory letter arrives, please ask the imperial court to verify the special reports."

Yin Zhengmao defeated the Huizhou mountain bandits and asked the court to reward the commander-in-chief for his achievements in quelling the bandits. At the same time, he also asked for orders to set up coastal defense. The Guangzhou Navy had three main responsibilities.

The first is to prepare waterways for soldiers to prevent Japanese banditry and stabilize the place;

The second one was to fulfill the imperial court's order of reward and punishment. The emperor ordered to go to Guangzhou, but as a result, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and no one paid attention to the imperial court at all;

The third one is to prepare for disaster relief during the flood season. Locust plagues, floods, and droughts cause people to be in disarray, and it is most likely to cause chaos and chaos. So how to use the navy to restrain and organize disaster relief becomes the responsibility of the navy.

This request is very reasonable. Who makes Yin Zhengmao win consistently in Guangdong and Guangxi?

Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, frowned and said, "I'm afraid there may be danger of the vassal town."

With the Jin party's treasures at the forefront and the establishment of the Guangzhou Navy in the extreme south, how could the imperial court rest assured?

The concern mentioned by Tan Lun made everyone slightly silent. Yin Zhengmao's proposal involved an unavoidable issue, splitting the earth and dividing the land.

The army will be in the hands of Yin Zhengmao, and Guangzhou has always been a place with frequent private ships from Southeast Asia. It has money, power and soldiers. If Yin Zhengmao is not a vassal town, what is it? Could it be that Yin Zhengmao's loyalty alone could approve such a policy?

Most of the courtiers remained silent. The Jin Party had a lot of shit on their butts and could not bite others. After all, Datong, a military, political and financial vassal town in the northwest Xuanfu, even dared to lie about military information and torment the court.

Other courtiers were somewhat afraid of Zhang Juzheng's authority. Yin Zhengmao was the direct descendant of Zhang Juzheng, the core of the core. In the hearts of most courtiers, Yin Zhengmao was the sharpest spear in Zhang Juzheng's hand against Gao Gong.

That is to say, because Li Qian, a disciple of Gao Gong, could not stabilize Guangdong and Guangxi, but Yin Zhengmao could, Zhang Juzheng was able to secure his position as the second assistant, and finally won the battle with Gao Gong.

Yin Zhengmao mentioned the naval affairs in Guangzhou, and this was Zhang Juzheng, who was seeking benefits for Yin Zhengmao.

Zhang Siwei once asked Li Le a question. How could he be so sure that if Zhang Juzheng secured his position as chief assistant, he would not be the next high-ranking official?

This question also lingered in the hearts of the Ming Dynasty courtiers.

"What Grand Sima said is reasonable, and he should sternly rebuke what Yin Zhengmao said and order him not to expand his division." After Zhang Juzheng heard Tan Lun's question, he chose to agree with Tan Lun's words without saying a word, and wrote his own words on the floating ticket. Opinions were sent to the imperial court for printing.

Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment. He was a little surprised that Zhang Juzheng did not allow Yin Zhengmao to expand his army. He asked strangely: "Guangdong and Guangxi are far to the south. It takes more than 180 days to go back and forth. There is a war in Lingnan. How can the DPRK make a decision?" ? Since we want to increase taxes on Xiaofu Langji, if it causes military disasters, how can the military resist if another Japanese war breaks out just after the Japanese war?"

If taxes are raised, there will definitely be resistance to taxation. In terms of the virtue of the people, armed resistance to taxation is absolutely inevitable. There is even a high possibility that the war in the southeast will resume again. This is something that must be guarded against.

If the Guangzhou Navy is established, there will be concerns about the vassal and town. If it is not established, taxes will be increased, and there will inevitably be wars between the Bancos. The national affairs of the Ming Dynasty are mostly this kind of dilemma. How to solve the dilemma?

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Guangdong and Guangxi are very far away. What Grand Sima said makes sense. It is better to set up a navy in Songjiang Prefecture. If there is a war, use the Ming Navy to garrison the Penghu Inspection Department to prevent earthquakes in the southeastern sea area." .”

"As the capital of Nanya, there are six yamen left, which makes it easier to control one or two and solve the dilemma."

Zhu Yijun completely understood what political purpose Zhang Juzheng wanted to achieve by taking advantage of the deficit in the palace.

The content of Hai Rui's letter "In order to maintain public security" was realized bit by bit, and the method of realizing it was very solid and interlocking step by step.

Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "Mr. Yuan Fu's careful consideration is a great blessing to the country."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I am loyal to your Majesty's duties." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and thanked the emperor for his praise.

Some of Hai Rui's political ideas are excellent, and he is willing to bend down to find answers. He is just too rigid in dealing with some matters, bending the political rules. Hai Rui knows that, but he is not willing to compromise.

Zhu Yijun printed the upper and lower parts of the memorial against Yin Zhengmao.

Zhang Juzheng went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and kept a file of the approval memorial and sent it to Guangzhou. Then an imperial edict of rebuke was sent to Guangzhou to reprimand Yin Zhengmao's naval forces in the vassal town for their actions.

Yin Zhengmao was reprimanded every day, because Yin Zhengmao was a corrupt official, and it was well known throughout the country that Guangzhou Dianbai Port was almost turned into a private shipping company by Yin Zhengmao.

Yin Zhengmao was very capable of fighting and was also very greedy, but Duke Ming of the DPRK mostly avoided talking about this matter. It was not because he was afraid of Zhang Juzheng, but because the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi still required Yin Zhengmao to continue to preside over it.

Moreover, Yin Zhengmao's greed was more reassuring to the court. He only wanted to make money, not to break up the soil and enfeoff to become the king of Lingnan.

Zhang Juzheng shook his sleeves and took out a memorial, and said: "Yingtian Governor Song Yangshan, Songjiang Governor Wang Daokun, and Songjiang Inspection Department Left Commander Yu Dayou, wrote in a memorial: It is planned to build a Songjiang Navy military town to guard the southeast to pacify the sea invaders. Prepare for the dangers of the land and water, and issue orders for rewards and punishments. The flood season is over."

"What do you think?"

The most important person in this personnel service is Yu Dayou, the left governor. First, Songjiang Town was built according to the specifications of the Jiubian Military Town. Only a sword was erected in the heart of Nanya in the Ming Dynasty. Next, the investigation and occupation were carried out. A series of government orders can be implemented only by ordering the return of farmland, eliminating bribery and appeasement of old abuses, shipyards, municipal shipping departments, thoroughfares to nine provinces, etc.

This is the order of weekly rewards and punishments.

Benevolence must be better than unkindness, but there are fewer and fewer benevolent people. When the benevolent people's benevolent policies are like a drop in the bucket, we must find a way to make the benevolent people take up arms!

Let the unkind people listen to the benevolent people's reasoning!

The core of Zhang Juzheng's governing philosophy is still those four words: make the country rich and the army strong, get rich little by little, become strong little by little, step by step, change the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's weakness little by little, in order to revive the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng's approach of governing a big country like cooking small delicacies makes Gao Gong and Xu Jie look stupid.

Gao Gong was a bit too hasty. To deal with the eunuchs, he directly called for the banning of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, which caused a violent reaction in the palace. Moreover, behind Gao Gong was the Jin Dang. What he did was to deal with the eunuchs. Or are you going to do something weird?

It would be strange for the Queen Mother in the palace not to think too much.

Ge Shouli wanted to attack Zhang Juzheng, but he changed many angles and really didn't know from which angle to attack Zhang Juzheng.

He said that he was overstepping the authority of the emperor, but Yu Dayou was a member of the imperial party. After all, Yu Dayou was Hai Rui who was ordered to return to the dynasty by His Majesty the Emperor. He recommended him to return to the dynasty, saying that he would bring potato seedlings to reclaim the wasteland, but it turned out that such a big mine was buried in it.

It is said that Zhang Juzheng formed a party for personal gain, and Wang Daokun was very close to Shen Yiguan of the Zhejiang Party in order to redress the grievances of Hu Zongxian. If Wang Daokun really divided the camps, it would be the Zhejiang Party, not the Zhang Party.

The only person here who can be called Zhang Dang is Yingtian, the governor of Songyangshan. However, Songyangshan's people are in Yingtian Mansion, Nanya, very close to Songjiang Mansion, but they don't care about it now.

The only benefit here is not the Jin Party.

As the leader of the party, Ge Shouli naturally wanted to seek benefits for the Jin party, but after thinking for a long time, he really felt that things in the southeast were beyond his reach.

Wan Shihe wanted to speak, but Wang Jiaping pulled Wan Shihe and told him to shut up. Wang Jiaping, who was also a member of the Jin Party, couldn't stand Wan Shihe. Wan Shihe was humiliated, and the entire Jin Party was also embarrassed.

The Jin Party is full of people like Wanshihe. How can the Jin Party be the main force to counter Yuan Fu's powerful master?

Ge Shouli looked at Wang Guoguang with pity. Originally, the Jin Party should have a share of the credit for the investigation of the land occupation in the southeast, because Wang Guangguang was from Shanxi and was once a core figure of the Jin Party. However, Wang Chonggu and Zhang What Siwei did was so ugly that Wang Guoguang simply drew a clear line with the Jin Party.

Ge Shouli took office as the new party leader. He sent Wang Guoguang an invitation, and Wang Guangguang sent his family to congratulate him.

"Are there no objections?" Zhang Juzheng looked around and saw that no one objected, so he affixed a floating stamp on the memorial and presented it to the emperor.

The court discussion was still going on, mainly discussing Wang Chonggu's sinful behavior of blocking caves in order to give white money to the poor. In the end, the next chapter was supervised by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Zhu Yijun was reading seriously on the stage. He had almost finished studying the Analects of Confucius, but Zhang Juzheng never sent a new direct interpretation of the Four Books.

"Your Majesty, please leave." After the court meeting, the ministers saw the ceremony and left the Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked with a smile: "Sir, a while ago I asked what is public and what is private. I wonder how you are thinking about it?"

"I am guilty. I still haven't thought clearly." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said. The definition of public and private is by no means a matter of time. He had to think carefully instead of fooling the emperor and giving the little emperor an ambiguous answer.

"No hurry, no hurry, take your time." Zhu Yijun waved his hand to indicate that he was not in a hurry, but just reminded Yuan Fu not to forget.

"Your Majesty, I'm brave, why don't you want Zhang Siwei's money?" Zhang Juzheng asked a little strangely.

Zhang Juzheng could understand the little emperor's refusal when he spoke, because once Zhang Juzheng spoke at that time, it became a complex contradiction. This contradiction is very complicated. In terms of relationships, it is the contradiction between imperial power and ministerial power, and the contradiction between the emperor and his chief minister. The contradiction between the Zhang Party and the Jin Party is the contradiction between the inner court and the outer court.

So the little emperor spoke first and simplified this possible complicated conflict into: the personal conflict between His Majesty the Emperor and Zhang Siwei.

If you don’t take the ten-year-old master seriously, how can you not take the monarch, his ministers, and the supreme imperial power seriously for thousands of years?

"I don't like his silver. I think his silver is dirty. Silver is just silver, but Zhang Siwei's silver is dirty." Zhu Yijun said quite accurately.

What Your Majesty said made sense, but he was speechless.

From a metaphysical point of view, everyone's silver is silver. Metaphysically speaking, Zhang Siwei's silver is indeed dirty.

"I would like to congratulate you on the Ming Dynasty, and put an end to the evils of bribery in government, which started with your majesty." Zhang Juzheng said with deep feeling.

Xiao Fo Langji's increase in taxes to support the palace is the support of the people under the system, not the emperor accepting bribes from courtiers. During the Zhengtong years, Ming Yingzong... Zhang Juzheng shook his head when he thought of this. Ming Yingzong, in the long history, They are all extremely rare, so it’s okay not to mention them.

Zhu Yijun said calmly: "I once heard that ugly people cannot be officials."

"Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne. Prime Minister Xue Xuan and Shen Xian had a grudge against him. In order to prevent Shen Xian from continuing to serve as an official in the court, Xue Xuan had people hide outside the palace gate. When Shen Xian went to court, he stabbed and chopped Shen Xian. Shen Xian lost his nose and lips and had eight wounds on his face. Shen Xian can no longer serve as an official. Is this happening?"

Zhang Juzheng frowned and said, "It's true."

When His Majesty the Emperor mentioned this, what did he mean?

Zhu Yijun said calmly: "Wang Chonggu spent nearly two million yuan to plug the hole. In order to recover, Zhang Siwei was willing to make up for the palace's shortfall. He was even willing to give up the money, so why not?"

Zhang Juzheng was shocked, looked at Feng Bao, then at Zhang Hong, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, a gentleman is not ashamed of this behavior. It is a foolish and foolish act. Xue Xuan was dismissed from office and later harmed his family. This is the end of the story." If the country is opened, the country will be destroyed. Anyone who makes such slanders should be punished!"

Yang Bo wanted to refute Qi Jiguang's ennoblement, but he refused to even make a self-destructive argument. He immediately gave in and kept the conflict in a state of struggle but not resolution. This was a kind of political wisdom.

It is really slanderous to say that it hurts someone's face and prevents him from serving as an official.

Party struggle returns to party struggle. This method is ineffective and ineffective, and may even cause a violent backlash. The Lord will make the country suspicious. If this vicious plan is implemented, there will only be one result, and that is that the world will doubt the Lord.

By then, the country will be in danger.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng's almost cannibalistic expression and hurriedly explained: "Emperor Yuanfu's illustrations mentioned Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty. I just read the Han Dynasty book and learned about this allusion. No one commented. Mr. Yuanfu, don't be like this." Keep an eye on Feng Daban and Zhang Daban, they are not the ones making any comments."

Zhang Juzheng was hit by the boomerang again. His feelings were caused by Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty in his book The Rebellion Chapter, which caused His Majesty to read history, and he ended up reading this sentence.

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said: "Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty was twenty-five years old, and Wang Mang has been in power since then. Your Majesty."

"Forget it." Zhu Yijun said seriously: "Mr. is better at the system of the country, so just follow what you said."

Children, if they catch a frog and pull its head, if Zhang Siwei is in a hurry, then Zhu Yijun will show him what it means for children to be careless.

Zhu Yijun is really a child.

At most, I can go to the Ancestral Temple and read the Notes of Sinner. Anyway, Yuan Fu will not publish the Notes of Sinner to the world.

I am just a ten-year-old child. Because of my personal likes and dislikes, I have done some not-so-extraordinary bad things. Ministers should be able to forgive me! I am really just a child! Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! !
