Zhang Juzheng felt a little pity for Xu Fan. His father was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. How many times could Xu Fan save him?

Even if Xu Fan can save his father, can he also save all the powerful gentry in Nanya?

Zhang Juzheng sat on the Grand Master's chair and pointed his telescope at a star in the sky that was shining with red-yellow light and as big as a lamp. It was like daylight. It was a guest star in the pavilion.

Ziweiyuan is the entire star palace where the Emperor of Heaven lives. The three stars on the left are called Tianqiang, the five stars on the right are called Tianxi, and the last six stars are called Juehan Arrival Room, called Pavilion Road.

It lives among the stars like a guest and is not permanent, so it is called a guest star.

In the Heavenly Palace, the road from Nantianmen to Ziweiyuan is called the Pavilion Road. On the Pavilion Road, a star suddenly appeared that should not have appeared. It was as big as a lamp and was red and yellow. This kind of star suddenly appeared and then suddenly Dissipates like a guest, so it is called a guest star.

On the third day of October last year, the Qintian Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty observed this new star. After a total of 19 days, the star that suddenly arrived became brighter and brighter. The Qintian Supervisor was frightened and reported in a panic. The Queen Mothers of the Two Palaces were very panicked. Not to mention the Queen Mothers of the Two Palaces, it was the first time for Qin Tianjian, who specialized in observing the sky at night, to see such a legendary thing as a guest star.

Then the Ming Dynasty started a ritual that had not been started for who knows how many years, divination.

After more than a dozen fortune-tellings, the results were different each time. The Qintian Supervisor could only choose the best prophecy and report it, saying that the person who was prosperous would have a great sage in charge of the country, which would bring good luck!

But the people are completely different. They all believe that Zhang Juzheng drove away Gao Gong, which caused God's warning. The location of this guest star is in the pavilion, and the pavilion is in Ziwei Palace. Therefore, there is a popular rumor among the people that "the guest star violated the throne of the emperor". , the prophecy of the sycophant tyrant Lord, and this prophecy has been widely circulated.

This put Zhang Juzheng into a passive position. At that time, Zhang Juzheng sent seven memorials to beg for an official position in order to set the record straight.

The celestial phenomena are celestial phenomena, and the officials in the court are the officials in the court. There is no one who can replace Zhang Juzheng and be able to preside over the affairs of the court when the emperor is young, so the palace does not agree with Zhang Juzheng's appointment.

At that time, people were really panicked. It seemed that a huge disaster was about to happen, and Zhang Juzheng was about to resign. The little emperor summoned Zhang Juzheng in the palace, and the queen mothers of the two palaces lowered the curtains and asked what to do.

In order to relieve (ask God to relieve) the astrological disaster, Zhang Juzheng wrote: "The monarch and his ministers are one, please do all the internal and external affairs to make peace and practice."

Practice self-reflection, self-cultivation and self-reflection, reduce extravagance, reduce sacrifices, refrain from rituals and music, reflect on your own mistakes, etc., and maintain this until the day when the guest star disappears.

A year has passed, and this guest star is still shining brightly in the pavilion, but the light is not as bright as before.

"The guest star invades the throne of the emperor, the Taishi plays the astronomy, the old friend believes in the prophecy, and the clouds are like three thirds." Zhang Juzheng put down the telescope, carefully screwed on the dust cover, and made his own judgment on this guest star.

Zhang Juzheng didn't believe Fu Chuzhi at all. If the guest star really violated the throne, wouldn't it mean that the emperor's throne was in danger? But this guest star is no longer what it used to be. Where did the sycophant come from to overstep his master?

In the past year, Zhang Juzheng was extremely passive because of the sudden appearance of the star. The officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology always mentioned this matter in their impeachment memorials. Some said it was a mysterious phenomenon, and the other said it was the late emperor's anger. As soon as it is said, it is a warning to heaven and man. Whenever Zhang Juzheng is impeached, this sentence will be mentioned.

However, as the star became increasingly dim, Zhang Juzheng's political passivity finally eased. The Kedao Yanguan no longer spoke of this guest star. Recently, the Kedao Yanguan also visited the Quanchu Guild Hall many times to appeal. I hope that the regular pilgrimage on the third day of every month can be cancelled.

The emperor randomly called the names, and immediately there were no people who had lost their dynasty. When the little emperor started to curse, there was really not a single curse word, but every word was a heart-breaking comment. The emperor of the Zhu family looked cold and ungrateful, which was deeply disturbing. .

When mentioning this incident, Kechen Hou Yu Zhao was also ostracized recently. Almost everyone scolded Hou Yu Zhao for meddling in other people's affairs and breaking the rules.

If the emperor doesn’t go to court, he won’t go to court. In the thirty years since the Ming Dynasty, the emperor has rarely held court meetings!

On the third day of every lunar month, the little emperor would hold a lot of memorials and name them one by one, with sharp words and rigorous logic. His left hand would combine knowledge and action with conscience, and his right hand would explain all the contradictions one after another. The ministers are really ashamed and angry.

The unity of knowledge and action and conscience is what Yang Bo taught His Majesty through his own practice. When Yang Bo finally left, he did not leave an unmanageable mess, but took advantage of the general trend to hold on to Zhang Siwei's status as party leader.

Contradictions explain everything one after another, which is a very popular theory recently. It is called Jiangling School. It was Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Jiangling who handed His Majesty the Emperor an extremely sharp theoretical weapon. It is really that people who stand in the way kill people, and Buddha who stands in the way kills Buddha.

This kind of random naming and scolding is worse than being beaten twice by the emperor!

You can gain some political capital by beating the imperial staff, but what does it mean to be scolded every day?

"Zhang Siwei came today and wanted to use money to save Jia Sanjin." You Qi saw that Zhang Juzheng no longer looked up at the starry sky, talking about today's greetings in the mansion, Zhang Siwei tried to win over Jia Sanjin, but Jia Sanjin was dismissed from power. After he resigned from his official position and returned home to live leisurely, the process of the official affairs department was still in progress. Zhang Siwei was doing his best to work for Jia Sanjin.

Zhang Siwei approached Ge Shouli. Ge Shouli spread his hands and expressed that he was helpless. Jia San was so drunk that he almost lost his face. He was judged by Hai Rui as having no integrity. This made Ge Shouli How to save? Ge Shouli is just a party leader, how can he be so capable?

Zhang Siwei also found Tan Lun. Tan Lun is the leader of the Zhejiang Party, but Tan Lun is a traitor to the Jin Party. Now that Yang Bo has left, it is hard to say whether he is a traitor or not. The last connection with the Jin Party is cut off. Tan Lun didn't see Zhang Siwei at all, and Zhang Siwei was rejected.

Now Zhang Siwei found Zhang Juzheng and rescued him.

"What does Zhang Siwei think? Is this a matter of money? Can I save him? Do I have this ability? This is the Wuchang ethics of monarchs and ministers for thousands of years. I just say good things to him Jia Sanjin, and there are What's the use?" Zhang Juzheng shook his head and replied to You Qi that he couldn't save him.

He was just the first assistant, and he had to bear the price for the mess Jia Sanjin made. Jia Sanjin's life's efforts were in vain just because he drank too much and missed the court meeting.

The most he could do was to be fined for losing his dynasty. Jia Sanjin had lost his dynasty, lost his etiquette, and was unfilial. Jia Sanjin had to be dismissed from his official position and returned to his hometown to live idle. That was also thanks to the fact that Jia Sanjin himself was a minister, and his master Youchong , powerful ministers are in charge of the country, and if the channels of speech are blocked, then it is really a guest star who has violated the emperor's throne.

Zhang Juzheng doesn't understand Zhang Siwei's thinking very well. Zhang Siwei is always clamoring for Zhang Juzheng to be his master. Does he really think that he, Zhang Juzheng, can handle everything?

As for this matter, even if Zhang Juzheng himself committed it, this would be the only outcome.

Zhang Juzheng said with an extremely relaxed expression: "What is Zhang Siwei doing recently?"

You Qi took out a small notebook and said: "Zhang Siwei has been doing a few things recently. The first one is to entertain the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology. They get together and they are prostitutes, wine and poems, trying to please His Majesty to be merciful, or After stopping the regular court on the third day of every month, I have to say that His Majesty’s words are really extremely humiliating.”

I don’t know who the little emperor learned from. He has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.

You Qi continued: "The second thing is to study the theory of contradiction. He preached it to people everywhere as a heresy. But after he bought it himself, he would not let go of the book and study it every day. He often told his subordinates that before he can refute, he must first Be proficient.”

"The third thing is that he had an outhouse and gave birth to a son. As a result, the outhouse was sunk and the child was taken back to the house. It was considered an scandal. Recently, Zhang Siwei's wife Wang, for this The matter was reported to the Queen Mothers of the two palaces, causing uproar throughout the city."

You Qi said with some gloating: "Zhang Siwei may not be having a good time this year."

Zhang Siwei's family member, the Wang family, is a powerful family in Shanxi. They have served as officials for many generations and are home to poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and music. Zhang Siwei was born into a family of merchants. His father, uncle, and younger brother were all Shanxi merchants. Merchants are inherently lowly. If it weren't for Wang Chonggu From this, Zhang Siwei could not get the Wang family as his wife. If he took a concubine, forget it. It would be surprising if Zhang Siwei's wife would be happy to raise a concubine.

Presumably, the Wang family was not happy to let Zhang Siwei take a concubine. If he could take a concubine, Zhang Siwei would not have to keep a concubine.

Zhang Siwei's wife, Mrs. Wang, had an imperial edict to be the mistress of the Sixth Palace and bound the world's wives, so it was not surprising that Wang would sue the palace.

"How are the prices in the capital and Jiubian?" Zhang Juzheng asked about firewood, rice, oil, and salt. These prices are related to people's livelihood, not only in the capital, but also in Jiubian in Liaodong, Shanhai, Yongping, Jizhou, Xuanfu, and Datong.

Zhang Juzheng, of course, had to build a grand structure when doing things, and the New Deal was indispensable for these, but he never ignored the daily necessities of life.

"The rice in Datong in Xuanfu is expensive." You Qi told Zhang Juzheng the prices he collected. One stone of rice costs about two taels per square meter, while the price of rice in the capital is only four yuan per stone. Xuanfu is outside Juyongguan. From the capital to Xuanfu It's only a small distance, but it's mostly mountainous, making it extremely difficult to transport food.

In the early morning of the next day, it started to rain. When the northwest wind blew, it turned into snow, which floated in the air like goose feathers. Several memorials followed the official post road and entered the capital on snowflakes.

Yingtian was the governor of the Yingtian Mansion Yamen in Song Yangshan, and he arrested illegal salt traders. The illegal salt dealers resisted with force and clashed with the Yamen servants. This conflict immediately expanded to a conflict between Zao households and Yamen servants. More than a dozen salt traders and three Yamen servants died. , this incident caused an uproar in Nanya.

Songjiang Governor Wang Daokun woke up in the morning and suddenly saw a woman beside him. Soon the censor heard about this and Wang Daokun was impeached for raping the woman.

Nanjing military eunuch Zhang Jin and Songjiang admiral Zhang Cheng drunkenly beat Nanjing Ke Dao Yan Guan Wang Yi. The memorial drifted into the cabinet like snowflakes in December.

A 400-ton battleship was patrolling the Yangtze River and sank unexpectedly. Fortunately, all the soldiers on board were Southern soldiers, so there were not many casualties. Songjiang Commander-in-Chief Yu Dayou was impeached by the Zhejiang Governor and Superintendent for dereliction of duty. Deputy Commander-in-Chief Chen Lin After being impeached, he marched through the city arrogantly and arrogantly, which shocked the people and asked for orders to restrain him.

Xu Fan stayed at a prostitute's house at night and killed one prostitute, one boy and wounded four others. The General Constitution of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate asked the court to cut off Xu Fan's official status and strip Xu Fan of his fame and never use him again, as a warning to others.

Zhang Juzheng holds these six memorials in his hand, including Song Yangshan, Wang Daokun, Zhang Jin, Zhang Cheng, Yu Dayou, Chen Lin and Xu Fan.

The imperial envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty to Nanya to handle the case of returning Xu Jie to farmland were as if they suddenly fell ill collectively. No one was spared. Even Xu Fan was caught and stayed at a prostitute's house to kill and injure others.

Zhang Juzheng took out six more memorials and put them on the table and said: "Since receiving the memorials, the next chapter of Nanya ordered all officials to express their feelings."

"Gu Zhangzhi, the Yin of Yingtian Mansion, is suspected of connivance."

The salt policy of the Ming Dynasty has long been corrupted. Most of the kitchen households, that is, the salt cooks who specialize in boiling salt, have been working for the silver. This is part of the four silvers. This inspection of illegal salt has been carried out since Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty started to accept the silver and opened the law. The salt policy was thorough. After the corruption, the inspection of illicit salt sales was a source of revenue for local government offices.

There is almost no official salt in the Ming Dynasty, only private salt. When inspecting private salt, the yamen in various places go to salt merchants to make up for their shortfalls when they have a deficit. The yamen in various places also turn a blind eye to private salt, and even more Professionally speaking, it is called bribery.

This time, the inspection of illegal salt led to a fight between the government officials and illegal salt dealers, and so many people were killed. It was indeed a bit abnormal.

Song Yangshan heard about the death and immediately started an investigation. The whole conflict process was very clear. The yamen went to generate income, but the private salt dealer, who was usually very obedient, suddenly refused to take any more money and summoned the salt traders to resist. Everyone was The grievances were so deep that the attacks were inconsequential and many people died.

Private salt dealers are also called salt gangs, and they are all vicious people.

The biggest question in this case is that the Zaoban yamen officer confessed that at that time, the housekeeper sent a message saying that if he did not succeed in urging him to be admitted, he would not have to come back.

The head of the official house firmly denied that he had never said this, which aroused conflicts and doubts. And this head of the official house was Gu Zhangzhi's cousin and was born in Juren.

As the governor of Yingtian, Song Yangshan's efforts to generate income and collect four short-term silver can lead to lives. That means he is guilty of improper handling, excessive enforcement of laws, and excessive demands.

Zhang Juzheng said that Gu Zhangzhi was suspected of connivance, which caused doubts about whether the housekeeper had instigated the government officials to pursue excessive investigations.

"The inspection of illegal salt is at the request of Governor Song Yangshan. He is still in charge. Since we want to inspect, or equalize taxes, and sort out the tax chaos in Nanya, we should be extremely cautious." Ge Shouli, as the Metropolitan Procuratorate General Xian expressed his opinion. Song Yangshan not only cleared up the encroachment in Nanya, but also had the power to explain the matter. If something went wrong, Song Yangshan was of course the main person responsible.

Hai Rui, who had been the governor of Yingtian, shook his head and said, "It's an old skill."

"Hai Zongxian has also suffered like this?" Zhang Han, the official minister, asked in surprise.

"Well, when I was the governor of Yingtian, when I was dredging the Huangpu River, a few people got lost for no reason." Hai Rui mentioned the embarrassment he encountered when he was controlling water in Songjiang Prefecture. He was very familiar with the methods. If you want to do something, someone will do it. Center bad things.

Zhang Juzheng looked at the memorial in his hand to impeach Song Yangshan, shook his head and said: "Demoting Song Yangshan to the third level and sending him a salary, he should stay in office and perform meritorious service. If there is a next time, he will undoubtedly be deposed."

If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Zhang Juzheng couldn't save it even if he wanted to, so he could only give Song Yangshan a punishment.

"The case of Zhang Jin assaulting official Wang Yi." Zhang Juzheng talked about the second case.

Feng Bao took over the conversation and said: "This Wang Yi made rude remarks and scolded Zhang Jin, just like Wang Chonggu scolded our family as eunuchs. He beat a blind man and scolded a mute. Wang Yi scolded Zhang Jin for not being a man, and they started fighting at that time. At that time, Wang Yi had a total of seven people, and Zhang Jin led six people. Including Zhang Cheng, Songjiang Admiral Zhang Cheng, an internal minister, was working in Nanya at that time."

"The conflict between Zhang Jin and Wang Yi was mainly because Zhang Jin was selling books in Nanya and raided Wang Yi's home for stealing printed books. Zhang Jin didn't know that Wang Yi was in person, and he only found out after the fight."

Feng Bao finished the matter from Zhang Jin's perspective.

The conflict caused by Wang Yi's book shop pirated the Huangzhuang's supplemented version of "The Theory of Contradictions". The supplemented version has a few emperors and ministers telling short stories, which is more interesting than the dry "Contradictions", and there are examples. It is regarded as a royal charter. After all, it is the emperor's business. , only the emperor's domestic slaves can print it.

Zhang went in to have a drink. Wang Yi angrily scolded the eunuchs and Zhang Jin's shortcomings, and a fight broke out.

Zhu Yijun tapped his pencil, coughed slightly, looked at Feng Bao and asked: "Feng Daban, Zhang Cheng also participated? Did Zhang Jin win?"

"Um... Zhang Cheng was looking for boat masters and shipbuilding craftsmen in Nanya. When he first arrived in Nanjing, Zhang Jin invited him so that he met Wang Yi. No one among Zhang Jin and the six men was injured, but Wang Yi and seven others were beaten. Wounded, Wang Yi had four teeth knocked out." Feng Bao briefly reported the results of the battle. Not only did he win, but he also won completely!

At such a serious time, the first time His Majesty opened his mouth was to ask about the result of the beating. It seemed that His Majesty really enjoyed watching the fun!

"Yeah." Zhu Yijun showed a smile and said, "It's okay, you continue to argue... Ting Yi, Ting Yi."

It is naturally difficult for a scholar with no power to win against a eunuch and a Dongchang fanzi who is an detective!

It's fine if you win, but if you lose, you must bring Zhang Jin and Zhang Cheng back to the capital for a good sparring session, so as not to embarrass the emperor when they go out. Regarding the behavior of the adopted son of the ancestor and the adopted son of the second ancestor working together to beat people together, Zhu Yijun appreciated it very much.

In the palace, no matter how fierce the fight was, no matter how fierce the fight was, outside the palace, they were all palace people. When something happened, Zhang Cheng did not stand idly by and did a good job.

The conflict between the inner court and the outer court is coming. If Zhang Jin and Zhang Cheng are not punished, it will become a common practice for eunuchs to attack courtiers in the future, and this trend cannot last long.

If Zhang Jin and Zhang Cheng are severely punished, then in the future the eunuchs supervising from various places will no longer need to be sent out, and the inner court will not need to be called the inner court.

This thing is not just a beating case, but also a conflict between the inner and outer courts, which is relatively difficult to deal with.

Feng Bao thought for a while and said, "Wang Yi should be beaten. The official of the Department of Science and Technology speaks rudely and does not practice morality. Because he talks about business matters and speaks dirty words. This is something that even eunuchs will not do. He should be reprimanded." "

"What Zhang Jin and Zhang Cheng did was wrong. Beating the imperial officials was indeed a bit excessive. They should have been beaten with ten sticks to serve as a warning to others."

"What do you think, Mr. Yuansuke?"

What Feng Bao meant was that each of them would hit fifty boards. It was certainly wrong for Zhang Jin and Zhang Cheng to hit someone. They would have to be punished by the imperial staff, but from the eunuch's point of view, Wang Yi really deserved a beating. Was that what he said in human terms? ?

They pirated copies of Huangzhuang publications for profit, and they held grudges when they were fined and confiscated.

Feng Bao did not ask for forgiveness. It was wrong to hit someone, and he must be punished if he deserves it.

"What do you think?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Hai Rui, each playing 50 pieces. What did Hai Rui, a man of bone and spirit, think of this method of harmonizing the mud?

Hai Rui looked at the chief assistant and asked him. He thought for a while and said, "I'm an old craftsman."

Ge Shouli frowned and said, "Is this also an old skill?"

"Yeah." Hai Rui said with a sigh, "In my opinion, if you just compete for profit without fighting for it, you will talk dirty and get beaten."

"If we have fought, we will definitely be greeted and sent off with smiles on our faces. When the imperial village prints this memorial to the emperor and his ministers, he has stated in advance that no private engraving is allowed. It is made by the ancestors of Hongwu. All prophecies, demon books, Those who spread rumors and mislead the public will be killed. In the 13th year of Hongzhi, the "Regulations on Punishment" was revised and this article was deleted."

"Otherwise, Wang Yi may be convicted of prophecy."

The laws of the Ming Dynasty were not static. They were implemented from the first year of Hongwu to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

Each emperor made additions and deletions. This article was deleted from the "Regulations on Punishment" in the 13th year of Emperor Xiaozong's reign in the Ming Dynasty.

According to Confucian etiquette, the emperor speaks the Heavenly Constitution. If he privately prints the emperor's words without the emperor's approval and interprets them randomly, he will be beheaded! Therefore, Zhang Jin copied Wang Yi's bookshop, which was completely legal, and he was even rewarded with fifty taels of silver.

Although this article has been deleted, it is still ancestral family law, and private engraving of the emperor's words by private citizens is also prohibited.

"If you are so greedy for profit, how can you maintain your integrity? A clear stream has a smell of copper." Hai Rui severely criticized Wang Yi, a public official. Qingliu should be Qingliu. How can he be a Qingliu if he is so striving for profit? ?

"What do Mr. Ge think?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Ge Shouli and asked Ge Shouli for his opinion.

After all, it was Yan Guan who was beaten.

"He had the nerve to complain." Ge Shouli commented without noticing.

For a Confucian scholar to engage in business is to abandon Confucianism and become a businessman. This is a kind of downward self-degradation. If Wang Yi is doing business, then he is doing business. Even if others find out, he will be kicked off his stall after being found out. If you're still not convinced, that's fine. You can still fight with others in an insulting manner.

Just fight, you haven’t won yet!

How to see.

Somewhat blind.

"Then let's do what Feng Dajue said." Zhang Juzheng saw that the two presidents had no objections to the constitution and were somewhat dismissive of Wang Yi, so he wrote his own opinions on the floating ticket and then submitted it to the emperor for sealing.

The reason why Yu Dayou and Chen Lin capsized the boat was because the boat was too old. These were old boats from Pingwo. The boat was more than twice as old as the little emperor. This was also the reason why Zhang Cheng ran to The reason for Nan Ya is to find a man-made ship. How can a landlubber who runs on land without a ship be considered a navy?

Therefore, Yu Dayou and Chen Lin were reprimanded at most, and they had to do inspections when going to sea, strictly restrain the troops, etc.

"The case of Wang Daokun raping a good family member." Zhang Juzheng said with great helplessness: "Wang Daokun is already fifty years old, and he still has so much energy."

This case is the most difficult to deal with. The word "treacherous" comes from the mouth, and if you are raped, you will be raped. How do you tell the difference and how do you prove your innocence?

Hai Rui thought for a while and said with emotion: "It's an old skill."

"An old skill again?!" Ge Shouli looked at Hai Rui. What did Hai Rui go through when he was the governor of Yingtian?

Hai Rui looked at Ge Shouli. Ge Shouli was very lucky. He was always protected by Yang Bo when he was an official. No one dared to torment him like this. Ying Tian was also framed in this way, but at that time because of a few extra tricks, the villain failed to succeed. If you give some money, you can use a woman's reputation to ruin the reputation of others."

"It's you who did it, not you. It's all yellow mud that fell off your crotch. There's no reason to explain it."

"You scholars, you are really playing dirty." Feng Bao grinned after hearing this. Feng Bao realized that he was really not shameless enough. Look at the methods of other scholars and break through the bottom line!

Zhang Juzheng took out Wang Daokun's Chen Qingshu and said: "Wang Daokun said that as soon as he woke up, he saw someone else around him. He didn't know why. After investigating for a long time, the Songjiang Prefecture Yamen could only accuse him of rape. To be sure, this woman is indeed from a good family. She cried and complained in the Yamen and kept making troubles, and she was unwilling in every possible way."

"The governor and governor of Zhejiang are impeached to return to their hometowns and live in leisure."

"Wang Daokun is so ashamed that he must be demoted from his official position."

The curtain of the Songjiang Mansion has just been opened. Wang Daokun, the person in charge, is in trouble because of the rape case. The courtiers are silent and silent. Everyone is thinking like Ming Jing. Wang Daokun went to Songjiang Mansion to investigate and get into trouble. Not only can he not keep his official position , I am afraid that even my good reputation will be completely lost.

"Why are they all heading for the Lower Third Road? Isn't this a dirty trick?" Zhang Han, the newly appointed Minister of Civil Affairs, although he has no foundation in the court, has come up step by step. Of course he knows what is going on. Why, he said slightly angrily.

Tan Lun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Punish him. He has no ability and cannot protect himself within three feet. He was tricked. Who should blame him? If he can't do errands, he is incompetent. If he is incompetent, go home and plant sweet potatoes." It’s so embarrassing.”

Wang Daokun was a member of the Zhejiang Party, and Tan Lun was the leader of the Zhejiang Party. The leader of the Zhejiang Party refused to protect him, and Wang Daokun immediately became in danger.

"Let's approve his appointment." Zhang Juzheng saw that everyone had expressed their opinions and chose to approve Wang Daokun's memorial. Of course, no one knew what he wrote on the floating ticket.

This memorial was transferred to the emperor. The little emperor looked at it for a long time and said: "It is obviously an unjust case, but it still needs to be dealt with like this? Mr. Yuanfu, I don't understand."

"I asked Sir before that after Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, Prime Minister Xue Xuanhe had a grudge against Shen Xian. Xue Xuan cut Shen Xian eight times on his face and cut off Shen Xian's nose and lips. Shen Xian From now on, I cannot be an official."

"What's the difference between this hurtful appearance and this slanderous appearance on a woman's bed?"

"This case is inappropriate to handle."

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty clearly opposed the handling opinions of the Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and questioned the Chief Assistant's handling of the matter based on scriptures!

Everyone knows that the ten-year-old master is indeed young, but he is not easy to fool.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that something is wrong, but if you don't deal with it, everyone in the world will think it's okay and do it. They all think that if you do this, you won't be punished. Then someone will follow behind and commit crimes, and the government will be ruined." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and answered why. Deal with it this way.

This is a court law and must be punished, otherwise other officials will learn from it in the future.

It is difficult to be a good person, and it is difficult to be a good official. To be a good official, you must be more cunning and cunning than the bad people to do well.

"What Mr. Yuan Fu said makes sense." Zhu Yijun still refused to print and said: "One is one, and two is two. We won't let the bad guys go, and we won't wrongly accuse the good guys. It's better to send Tiqi to find out the whole story. If this is really the case. , if this is not the case, then we will track down the culprit behind it and kill one to serve as a warning to others."

The young Emperor Ming had gradually shown his cruel side, shouting to beat and kill.

It is really difficult to find out this kind of rape case clearly in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the little emperor is also dragging his feet. If he drags it, there will be new incidents that cover up this matter and take advantage of the system. Inflexible, endless delays, and finally big things turned into trivial matters.

Sun Piyang, the minister of Dali Temple, had previously impeached Gao Gong and was dismissed from office and investigated. He was ordered to demote his official status and go home to live in leisure. The process took a full year and dragged on until Gao Gong fell and Sun Piyang was re-elected.

The courtiers will use this trick, and the little emperor will also use this trick.

"I will obey the imperial edict." Zhang Juzheng smiled when he heard that the young emperor was going to send Tiqi to investigate.

On the floating ticket, he wrote about the activities behind Wang Daokun's rape case, about the struggle behind the liquidation and occupation of 70,000 hectares of Changtian by the Nanya Fourteenth Prefecture, and about the contradiction between the local Jin gentry's opposition to the liquidation and the conflict between the Qing abbot and the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

The Theory of Contradictions borrows the importance chapter of "Guanzi" to divide contradictions into main contradictions and secondary contradictions. When encountering an incident, we must clearly distinguish the primary and secondary contradictions. Only by clear distinction can we deal with them safely.

As for his opinions on the matter, Zhang Juzheng did not want to allow Wang Daokun to become an official as he said, but did not express his position.

This matter needs to be investigated, and Tiqi needs to be invited. Fusitiqi from Jinyiweibei Town of the Ming Dynasty is in charge of palace confinement, and Tiqi is mobilized to investigate the case. This is the core of imperial power. The emperor's stability is involved in this matter, and Zhang Juzheng can't say anything.

The emperor's master didn't explain it, but it was obvious that the little emperor knew how to use it.

Zhu Yijun tore off Zhang Juzheng's floating note, picked up the ink pen, and wrote: "Send Luo Bingliang, who has been sentenced to thousands of households, to Songjiang Mansion to find out and report."

After finishing writing, Zhu Yijun picked up the treasure of Wanli, covered it on the memorial and said: "The next chapter will be overseen by Fusi of Beizhen."

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Chief Minister of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have a disagreement over the handling of Wang Daokun's case. The matter ended with Yuan Fu bowing his head. However, the courtiers, who were not smart, had guessed that what Zhang Juzheng wrote in the floating ticket should not be accurate. Wang Daokun became an official, but defended Wang Daokun.

Tan Lun, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, is too open-minded, fighting for nothing and defending nothing.

Zhang Juzheng took out another memorial, "The Case of Xu Fan's Murder and Injury".

"Tiger's poison does not eat its seeds." Tan Lun said in amazement: "Xu Huating is really cruel. He can kill his own son even if he blocks the way. I am not as honest as Mr. Huating."
