Song Yangshan refused to agree to Xu Jie's idea of only paying taxes and not returning the land. This was a fellow disciple, and the other was Zhang Juzheng. Offending Zhang Juzheng would only lead to a worse death.
But when Xu Jie took out Hu Zongxian's forged imperial edict, Song Yangshan didn't know how to deal with it.
Song Yangshan said with a ferocious expression: "That's not what you said at the beginning! Xu Jie, you didn't say that you wanted Hu Zongxianfu to die! I was reprimanded at the time, so I listened to your words and forged an imperial edict, but you ended up sending him Killed."
Xu Jie said with a complex expression: "At that time, it was no longer under my control."
The stern wind that filled the sky became more and more fierce and the momentum was too great. Xu Jie could not control the situation at all. There were some things that Xu Jie could only decide to start. The development and outcome of the matter were beyond his control.
Song Yangshan served as the Right Chancellor of Dali Temple in Beijing and impeached Hu Zongxian and Ruan E for their corruption. This was also one of Song Yangshan's steps to cooperate with Xu Jie to depose Yan, and gradually made the temple master hate the Yan Party.
After the impeachment of Hu Zongxian, Song Yangshan was retaliated and demoted by the strict party and sent to Yiling as a judge. Then he was transferred to Fujian as the deputy envoy for military preparedness. He worked with Qi Jiguang to fight against Japanese pirates. He and Qi Jiguang discussed the matter of coastal defense together. It was considered a step-by-step appointment. Got in touch with Zhang Juzheng.
This is where Hu Zongxian is interesting. Song Yangshan impeached Hu Zongxian and was reprimanded. Song Yangshan was already in his power, and Hu Zongxian did not retaliate.
Zhang Juzheng used Song Yangshan not because he was his uncle. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie broke up with each other.
As for the forgery of Hu Zongxian's imperial edict, it was also because Song Yangshan was in Fujian and had close contacts with Hu Zongxian, so he had Hu Zongxian's handwriting, so he forged it.
Song Yangshan never thought that Xu Jie would directly let Hu Zongxianyu die in prison.
Nowadays, Song Yangshan hangs the Youqian capital and the governor Yingtian, and at this time Xu Jie's old affairs are brought up again.
"I regret cooperating with you! Now you are taking this matter against me?" Song Yangshan looked at Xu Jie and said harshly. At this time, Song Yangshan was already murderous.
Xu Jie Zhizhu said as if he was holding it: "Junior brother, don't worry, haven't you taken it out yet? If you don't take it out, doesn't it mean it's gone? I'm sorry, junior brother."
"You haven't returned those crossbows at home?" Song Yangshan chose to change the subject temporarily. He needed to think carefully and not be led away by Xu Jie.
Since Xu Jie came to Song Yangshan, he was naturally well prepared. He could not let Song Yangshan do things in vain. He hurriedly said: "Repay it, do I dare not to pay it back? With me, those vacillating powerful tycoons and gentry will also do it." Follow and return it.”
"Can I still make it difficult for my junior brother?"
It sounded like a gift, but when he thought about it carefully, Song Yangshan realized that Xu Jie was here to subdue the weak. To be precise, the powerful gentry of Nanya fell when the Gu family fell with lightning speed. , the powerful gentry felt panic.
It’s okay to pay taxes, but not to return the land.
Song Yangshan noticed some anomalies in Xu Jie. Xu Jie was not confident enough. Song Yangshan hesitated for a while, and his expression slowly returned to calmness. It was just what Xu Jie said that made Song Yangshan a little angry. Now he is thinking about this matter seriously. I think, my mentality is becoming more and more stable.
Song Yangshan said calmly: "Master Xu, do you really keep that forged imperial edict? Wang Daokun, Shen Yiguan and other Zhejiang Party members are still worried about the death of Hu Zongxian. Even the open-minded general Sima is also determined not to let go."
"If you take it out, the worst I can do is forge documents and be dismissed from office. What about you and your Xu family? All of them will die."
"Besides, Master Xu, if you say I forged it, then I forged it? I also said you were biting randomly. You said Yuan Fu, the court, and His Majesty, do you believe you or me?"
"The imperial court is so poor that it's a waste of money. I've taken care of the matter of returning the land. Will Yuan Fu blame me?"
Song Yangshan found out that Xu Jie was threatening him with something he couldn't bring out. This incident really broke his heart. I'm afraid Xu Jie would be even more unlucky. Even if Xu Jie got to Hu Zongxian's level, Xu Jie said Song Yangshan He was also an accomplice in the death case of Hu Zongxianyu, so how to prove that Xu Jie was not biting randomly?
Xu Jie was silent for a moment. He found that the people he had beaten to death in the past had become a little more shrewd, which made Xu Jie feel a little uncomfortable.
Xu Jie said helplessly: "We are brothers from the same sect. I have no intention of taking advantage of you. We are just people on the same boat. I am also here to discuss this time. You are now the majestic governor of Yingtian. I am the only one who has lost you." What can a powerful former chief minister do to you?"
Song Yangshan sighed and said: "You underestimate Yuan Fu too much. Believe it or not, when I wrote such a memorial, Yuan Fu could immediately guess that you have my handle in your hand. It won't take long before you give me up." Change, let someone else take charge of this matter."
"The general trend is unstoppable. When the mighty river surges, you and I are just stubborn rocks. Isn't this the truth that Taishi Xu learned after enduring it for twenty years? Is this something that you and I can stop?"
"Can?"
"Teacher Xu, Senior Brother Xu, listen to me. You have returned the fields. Do you care whether they live or die?"
Xu Jie stood up, looked at Song Yangshan and said sincerely: "I don't care whether they live or die, they want the lives of my whole family. Believe it or not, tomorrow I will express my support for the imperial court's decree to return the land, and the day after tomorrow my ancestral home will be destroyed." Can it be picked up by a group of little bandits and burned completely with nothing left?"
"Xu Fan came up with a compromise and immediately became a murderer. Now he is in the army."
Song Yangshan saw that Xu Jie was about to leave, so he stood up to see him off. When he reached the threshold, Song Yangshan whispered: "Master Xu, I will show you the way. It is better for you to write a letter to the chief minister yourself than for me to write a memorial and go to the capital." Master Xu said Yes or no?"
"Thank you, junior brother. Junior brother, stay here." Xu Jie turned and left.
Song Yangshan said: "Send it to Master Xu."
After Xu Jie walked away, Song Yangshan looked at the figure being driven out of Xu Jie on the sedan chair, and then whispered: "Old fox."
Song Yangshan was almost fooled by Xu Jie. He sensed Xu Jie's lack of confidence and figured out the key, so he didn't fall for Xu Jie's deception. If he performed the memorial for Xu Jie, he would be able to improve the power of Nan Yamen. The conditions of the wealthy and powerful gentry would be immediately noticed by Zhang Juzheng and he would be dismissed.
The most terrifying thing about politics is that you are on the wrong team, and you are still on the opposite side of Zhang Juzheng.
Xu Jie returned to the inn, and after thinking for a long time, he spread out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Song Yangshan refused to help, so he had to write a letter to the traitor to set conditions. His words were very sad and he made the matter very clear.
Nanya's 70,000 hectares and 7 million acres of farmland were all accumulated by powerful families from generation to generation. If the court said it was for nothing, it would be in vain. This was robbery.
Zhang Juzheng received Xu Jie's letter and Song Yangshan's memorial.
In Song Yangshan's memorial, Xu Jie went to find him and told him clearly about forging Hu Zongxian's handwritten edict, as if he were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. This matter has been in Song Yangshan's heart for a long time. He was in Fujian When he and Qi Jiguang were fighting the rebellion, Hu Zongxian was the commander-in-chief of the fight against the Japanese.
Shen Yiguan, Shen Yiguan's father, and Wang Daokun all once appealed to him, hoping that Song Yangshan would speak up and work for Hu Zongxian's name. After all, everyone worked under Hu Zongxian back then to pacify the Japanese. Song Yangshan only agreed superficially and never said anything. Pass a sentence.
Now that Xu Jie's old matter was brought up again, Song Yangshan simply explained the situation clearly. The court wanted to kill him and cut him into pieces. It would not be too late to discuss it after he finished returning the land.
"That's it? You thought they dared to gather together to rebel, even if they recruited some bandits behind their backs, it would be considered a fight, and now they have to hand over armor and crossbows? Boring." Zhang Juzheng put down Xu Jie's letter and felt bored. This group The powerful Jin gentry has a loud voice, but is very timid.
You Qi was also happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Yu Long in Nanya? If Yu Shuai is not in Songjiang Mansion, they might make a lot of trouble! It would be great if Yu Shuai doesn't go to find the bandits now. Are the bandits still causing trouble?"
Zhang Juzheng nodded seriously and said: "What you said makes sense. Nanya has long lacked the imperial court's arrogant and powerful generals to intimidate, so it is natural to be bold! To celebrate rewards and punishments, both are indispensable. The annexation is in full swing, the people are suffering and withering, how many and lack of strong men? It’s related to soldiers’ shock and awe.”
"It's like maritime trade."
Zhang Juzheng has been thinking about a question recently, which is whether to control Ming Dynasty's silver road in his own hands. This question is very complicated and he needs to think about it carefully.
"Then Xu Jie said he would not return the land but only pay taxes. Do you agree to it?" You Qi asked with a strange expression: "If you want to agree, you still need to communicate with the palace to prevent any misunderstandings. In case His Majesty the palace You and the Queen Mother should interpret this as your husband trying to protect Gu Rong Xu Jie, I'm afraid it's not good."
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Of course I won't agree. I got the fields back, but I'm still short of taxes?"
"They'd better rebel. Look at Wang Guoguang, the recent Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. His face was full of smiles. When he heard that five hundred thousand silver had been put into the treasury, his eyes turned green. The left eye said "Food" and the right eye " With money.”
"Wang Shangshu wishes they had rebelled, so that he could confiscate all their houses, and confiscate a family of 500,000 yuan. There are so many powerful gentry in Nanya. If they are all confiscated, how much money, how much land, and how much grain will they get?"
"I have forgiven Xu Jie and left him 10,000 acres of land. I did not pursue Hu Zongxian's case too much. He even went to lobby Song Yangshan."
"Human, if you take the wrong path, it's really difficult to turn back."
Zhang Juzheng was talking about Xu Jie, and he was also talking about Song Yangshan. Hu Zongxian's incident was a complete tragedy. All those who contributed to the flames at that time were sinners. Song Yangshan forced the powerful people in Nanya to return their land. After this job is done, you can treat it as if it were done. Dedicate one's crime and make meritorious service.
Even if Song Yangshan is not mentioned, Xu Jie climbs and bites, the court can't do anything to Song Yangshan. There is no proof, there is only one physical evidence, and there is no documentary evidence, it is not a solid case. Song Yangshan was mostly pressured by the wind and public opinion and became an official.
Since Song Yangshan said so and refused to surrender to the powerful Jin gentry, leaving the handle in the hands of Zhang Juzheng, Song Yangshan can continue to preside over the return of the land.
Zhang Juzheng is a circulation official. He uses both clear and turbid currents. The ground in Nanya is complicated. If he can handle this job well, Zhang Juzheng will use it.
Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but think of Jia Sanjin, who was standing at the fork in the road. If Jia Sanjin had lived in the Quanjin Guild Hall and sent his children to a home school run by Ge Shouli, he would not have ended up like this.
Jia Sanjin accepted the house presented by Zhang Siwei. Now that Jia Sanjin has been stripped of his official uniform, the house is now back in the hands of Zhang Siwei.
"How is Li Shizhen's search going?" Zhang Juzheng asked about Li Shizhen. This miracle doctor is not like a dragon that has seen its beginning but not its end. Li Shizhen met a doctor in the east wall of Qichun County, Huguang, and practiced medicine. It was only last month that Qichun County Magistrate reported , Li Shizhen went into the mountains, and she didn't know when she would be able to return to the hall.
You Qi thought about it and shook his head and said, "The news from Huguang has not come back yet."
"Yeah." Zhang Juzheng began to continue annotating the Four Books. After finishing the Analects, Mencius is next.
The morning of the next day was bright and sunny. The little emperor came to the Wenhua Palace early in the morning and waited for the courtiers to enter the palace. He flipped through two memorials in his hands.
The whip was sounded three times, and all the officials entered the palace.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, is your Majesty paying your respects well?"
"My greetings, no courtesy." Zhu Yijun waved his small hand to indicate that he was standing flat, and then said: "Kechen Geng Dingxiang and others jointly signed the letter to pay tribute to Wang Yangming."
"Geng Dingxiang said: Most of the Confucian officials in modern times praise their clothes and belts as a favor, but when it comes to their daily use, they often suffer from being rigid and achieve nothing; they read extensively and listen to learn, but when they study the actual results, they often suffer from seeing and hearing without achieving anything. Experience. The customs have been trapped for a long time!"
"Shouren has all-round talents in both civil and military affairs, and expounds the unique knowledge of sages. He was appointed as an official, and he resisted the sparse and violated the central government. He was willing to be relegated by Yan Huang. He built the Taijiang River on the right, raised troops to quell the great rebellion, and personally collected the country. Merit. Great achievements and extraordinary achievements have been praised by public opinion for a long time. How should it be that the seal of an alliance should be snatched away suddenly at the end of one's life?"
The meaning of this memorial is that there is something wrong with Confucian scholars now. They only like to have fun and stick to the rules, so they have nothing to do and praise Wang Yangming.
Zhang Juzheng heard this, thought about it for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to forgive me."
"After Shouren, his disciples made many new and innovative ideas in order to gain fame. They completely failed to understand the essence of Shouren's philosophy, which is to combine knowledge and action with conscience. However, they only talked about conscience and not the unity of knowledge and action. It's like a person with only one leg. How can he go far?"
"His disciples always call for disciples and sing to each other. Talented people need to rely on their breath, while mediocre people without talent often use Shouren's mind to bluff and deceive people's hearts, and they become more and more wanton."
"Among the Qing Dynasty, his teachings are particularly popular. His disciples talk loudly, guard the benevolent mind, and spread falsehoods. There are more and more fallacies. In these years, they have often made arrogant remarks."
"The imperial court has not seized the title of Ren, that's for sure, but I think this theory should be considered before proceeding."
"Shouren died, and the court discussed that he would not be deprived of his title to show the great trust of the country; he would ban his heresy in order to rectify the hearts of the people in the world."
After Wang Yangming's death, the imperial court concluded Wang Yangming's life for the first time, fully affirming Wang Yangming's achievements, that is, his military exploits. His newly established earldom has always been inherited, but the imperial court, represented by Gui E, Confucian scholars completely denied Wang Yangming's scholarship and directly called his scholarship "heretical".
In the end, a "no title, no title, no heresy" was obtained, which affirmed Wang Yangming's achievements and prohibited the spread of Wang Yangming's spiritual philosophy.
Zhang Juzheng, or Gui E at that time, did not disdain Wang Yangming's philosophy. On the contrary, they very much agreed with Wang Yangming's idea of integrating knowledge and action with conscience. However, Shouren's disciples and later disciples chopped off his left leg directly. This How to still walk?
Zhang Juzheng is not opposed to the lifting of ideological bans. This is the inevitable trend of social development. Zhang Juzheng, who believes in the theory of contradiction, knows its benefits and its harms. However, he lacks practical implementation and is just rhetoric. Is it really conducive to the advancement of Ming Dynasty? ?
In the past few days, the officials of science and education, and the Confucian scholars who only talk about conscience, aren't they going to say: poor coolies, if they have no money, they can rent out their spare houses, and if they have no money, they can drive their own cars to transport people goods?
Zhang Juzheng's contradiction can be said to be a step forward in Shouren's spiritual studies. He is not a castle in the air, but standing on the shoulders of giants.
"Yuan Fu thinks that his "Contradiction Theory" can establish a school. Yuan Fu's "Contradiction Theory" is very popular. Can't Shouren Xin Xue's "Zhuan Xi Lu" be published?" After hearing this, Ge Shouli immediately jumped out and told Yuan Fu Questions were launched, questioning Zhang Juzheng's bad intentions, and questioning Zhang Juzheng's use of his own power to highlight his Jiangling School and suppress other schools.
Serious interference with academic freedom!
Hai Rui frowned and reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Ge, be careful what you say. The contradiction is His Majesty's. What do you mean by that? Are you questioning His Majesty's writing style?"
Ge Shouli was stunned for a moment, and then became a little dazed. There was something sinister happening in Zhang Ju, so he thought of all this!
When Yang Bo left, he told Ge Shouli that he must abide by the authority of the Lord and criticize Zhang Juzheng for arrogating the artifact to determine his own status. After Yang Bo left, Ge Shouli could be said to have won one victory after another. This went smoothly, but he fell into trouble. .
The theory of contradiction is His Majesty’s theory, not Zhang Juzheng’s!
Everyone in the world knows that the ten-year-old master cannot explain such profound truths, so when it comes to the theory of contradiction, it is the masterpiece of the Jiangling School and the masterpiece of Zhang Juzheng.
Ge Shouli was hit by his own boomerang. The outline of his newly promoted party was to respect the power of the Lord, but when he opened his mouth, he questioned the emperor's writing.
"Hahaha." Zhu Yijun was immediately amused by Ge Shouli's stunned expression. He really couldn't hold back. This Ge Shouli was indeed a bit more straightforward.
Zhu Yijun finally stopped laughing and said: "Ge Zongxian, I am not laughing at you. The Theory of Contradiction is indeed the work of Mr. Yuan Fu. It is just the result of the reconciliation with me, so it can only be published in my name."
When ministers and emperors appear at the same time, naturally the minister's name cannot come first.
"Little things, little things, don't worry about Mr. Ge. Go back to work, go back to work." Zhu Yijun waved his little hand, signaling Ge Shouli to go back.
Ge Shouli blushed, and he was indeed a little anxious this time.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Mr. Yuanfu doesn't agree with the newly built Prince Shouren to worship Confucius in the Temple of Confucius? But with Mr. Yuanfu's contradiction, what Mr. Yuanfu is worried about should not happen."
Zhang Juzheng still refused to give in and bowed his head and said: "I think that your majesty is in charge of the government, and I would like to suggest that it is better for Wang Shouren to worship in the Confucius Temple. The contradiction is that it has just been published in the world. If you want to fight against Xinxue, you still have to wait a few years."
"Since Mr. Yuanfu still has doubts and said that it takes time, then follow what Mr. Yuanfu said." Zhu Yijun thought for a while and agreed with the idea of Ming Dynasty Regent Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng is now in charge. He feels it is inappropriate, and he has his reasons. Moreover, Zhu Yijun is also very tired of the empty speeches made by the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
"Let's discuss it." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
Wang Yangming was the first person in the Ming Dynasty to establish virtue, meritorious service and reputation. The final conclusion about Wang Yangming is not static, but is constantly changing.
At first, during the Jiajing period, his achievements were acknowledged with reservations, and his scholarship was completely denied, and he was denounced as heresy; then during the Wanli period, his integrity, articles, and achievements were fully praised, and he was worshiped in the Confucius Temple; and then during the Tianqi and Chongzhen years, his teachings were completely rejected. He is a heretic and criticizes Confucian scholars for not doing anything, always talking about their character, and in times of trouble, dying to repay the king.
Later generations praised the mutual stimulation between his achievements and scholarship, praising him for "in times of crisis and doubt, he enlightened the Tao in Longchang, the gods became more settled, and he was wise and considerate"; on the other hand, they criticized him for being "precious of his achievements and different from the Confucian predecessors". conflict and equilibrium state.
The coffin-closing conclusion has changed several times, manifested in disputes and games between temples and public opinion, and between various forces, and also revealed the realistic needs and value orientations of different eras.
Generally speaking, after Wang Yangming left, Wang Yangming was no longer his own person, just like Confucius.
Zhang Juzheng opened a memorial and understood why the young emperor suddenly mentioned this matter. It was because Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, suggested that this year's spring examination should be based on the study of benevolence and heart. In other words, the evaluation of Jinshi Volume standards, switching from Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism to Yangming's Neo-Confucianism.
The Ministry of Rites wants to change the syllabus.
Zhang Juzheng said seriously: "Wan Shangshu, I don't disagree with Yangming's theory of mind as the mainstay, but since Shouren's death, this theory of mind has become more and more absurd. It only talks about conscience, and its harm is widespread."
"Also, Nanya is the main place where the imperial gentry is mostly wealthy and culture and education are prosperous, while Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Fujian, and Guangzhou are poor. The great disadvantages of appeasement are spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and it has become a common practice. Everyone in Nanya is happy, Then in a poor place where culture and education are not prosperous, they will rise up."
Tan Lun saw that Wan Shihe didn't seem to understand, and said, "What Yuan Fu said is a little complicated, but it's actually very simple. Yangming's theory of mind is widely spread in Nanya. If your etiquette department changes the syllabus, you should tell it in advance, at least Ten years ahead of schedule.”
"Suddenly the flag has changed, the exam syllabus has changed, and in a poor place where culture and education are not popular, we might as well not take the exam at all."
Tan Lun is the leader of the Zhejiang Party. In fact, he should advocate for the students of his Zhejiang Association, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: It is unfair to change the examination syllabus.
The Ming Dynasty was divided into three lists: North, South, Middle School, and the number of Jinshi was divided into three parts according to the number of candidates. It seemed fair, but in fact there was a lot of unfairness in itself.
The quota for Jinshi is divided into three parts. However, the first-class candidates (top 3) and second-class candidates (top 183) are basically occupied by Nanya, a place of prosperity, culture and education. The first-class candidates directly enter the Hanlin Academy. As a Shujishi, most of the candidates who can be selected as a Shujishi are second-level candidates.
Since the time of Emperor Yingzong, the rule has been established that non-Jinshi cannot enter the Imperial Academy and non-Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet. After the Ming Dynasty's cabinet was almost monopolized by Nanya students, the policy tilt and even the disadvantages of tolerance became more and more serious. .
Wealthy places with prosperous culture and education are rejoicing when they receive policy favoritism or appeasement; poor places where culture and education are not prosperous do not receive policy favoritism, so they take up arms to criticize and fight for it.
Changing the syllabus must be announced at least ten years in advance, and it is child's play to do it slowly and in one fell swoop.
Tan Lun is a vested interest, but since he is sitting in the Wenhua Palace, he is not only the leader of the Zhejiang Party, but even Tan Lun himself does not care much about this party leader. It is just that Zhang Juzheng needs a Zhejiang Party to replace the national party. It’s just a matter of uniting with the new parties to create a balanced situation.
"I see, then we won't change it for the time being." Wan Shihe listened to Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun's explanations, thought about it again and again, and decided to follow their opinions and not change the syllabus.
Wan Shihe was a member of the Jin Party. He was recommended by Yang Bo before he left. Shaanxi and Shanxi were also poor places where culture and education were not prosperous.
Zhang Juzheng continued: "I recommend Li Le to inspect the border military affairs department and go to Yingtian Mansion to be the prefect. Li Le is the Xunli."
Zhang Juzheng did not recommend his cronies in the name of others, but spoke directly and recommended Li Le to Yingtian Mansion. Gu Zhangzhi had been escorted back to the capital, and the candidate for Yin Tianfu Yin was still pending.
"Does anyone have any objections?" Zhang Juzheng looked around. No one refuted, and no one proposed an alternate. He chose to post a floating ticket and ask His Majesty to stamp it.
The reason why it is so straightforward is Zhang Juzheng's response to the Jiangnan Jin gentry: Either obstruct the public law and harm the ministers who are in charge of the affairs, then when the time comes, the state documents will still exist and will not be allowed to be loaned; or return the fields obediently and don't have so many troubles again. thing.
The court officials also understood that Yuan Fu had grasped the sore foot of the powerful Jin gentry in Nanya and the main contradiction on the ground of Nanya, and had an absolute advantage.
The main contradiction on the ground in Nanya is the conflict between the powerful gentry and the poor coolies and landless tenants. To be more precise, Zhang Juzheng singled out the Gu family to get rid of him and took the grain road into his own hands. If Hao Jinsheng wants to overturn the table again, he will not be qualified to do so.
But now, the imperial court requires that the crossbows be handed over to the fields, so Zhang Juzheng has the absolute advantage to cut the flesh with a blunt knife. The cutting is slow, but it hurts.
Zhang Juzheng took out another memorial and said: "I recommend the crown prince's Taibao, the Minister of Rites, Lu Tiaoyang, a bachelor of Wuyingdian, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of official affairs, and Wang Xilie, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and in charge of Zhanshifu, to serve as examiners. Zuo Chunfang, a bachelor, was in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, Shen Shixing, Zuo Chunfang, Zuo Zhongyun, Fan Yingqi, and Gao Qiyu, the Hanlin Academy's reviewer, was a co-examiner."
For the main examination of the imperial examination, this list was carefully considered by Zhang Juzheng, and all aspects were taken into consideration. The second assistants Lu Tiaoyang and Wang Xilie were the main examiners, and Shen Shixing, Fan Yingqi, and Gao Qiyu were the co-examiners.
"Gao Qiyu can't do it." Ge Shouli said quite accurately: "When Gao Qiyu presided over the Yingtianfu Township Examination, the topic he gave was "Shun also ordered Yu."
The atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall immediately became solemn, the spring breeze blew through the curtains, and the court discussion in February of the second year of Wanli immediately became tense.
Gao Qiyu's proposition, Shun also ordered Yu, and the destiny in it is the destiny of heaven, which also means that Shun handed over the destiny of heaven to Yu.
Floods were rampant, the world was impoverished, and the heavenly fortune was eternal. Dayu was able to control the floods, and thus received the destiny.
At present, the Ming Dynasty is also riddled with holes, poverty all over the world, and the fortune of heaven is about to end. If Zhang Juzheng can rule the world, will he also get the destiny?
In summary, the meaning of this allusion is: the throne should belong to a virtuous person, and abdication should be implemented just like between Shun and Yu.
Ge Shouli looked at Zhang Juzheng and narrowed his eyes slightly and said with an unkind expression: "Yuanfu, Gao Qiyu, as one of Zhang's party members, when Yingtianfu presided over the provincial examination last year, what was the purpose of asking this question? Yingtianfu is an important place in the capital, even if it is to avoid Some things should be avoided, but instead of avoiding them, he deliberately made this a topic, what’s his intention?”
"It's not like I, Ge Shouli, have free will to testify and bite him randomly. Gao Qiyu presides over the provincial examination. It's too much to set the question like this. Does Yuan Fu say so?"
Zhu Yijun also stopped writing and looked at the ministers at the court meeting. Zhang Juzheng, the Regent of the Ming Dynasty, had finally reached the stage where his subordinates were persuading him to join.
There are idiots in the Jin Party, and there are also self-righteous idiots in the Zhang Party.
Zhang Ju's face suddenly changed and he looked at Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites. Wan Shihe was a little confused. When he returned to the capital from Nanjing last year, he had already passed the provincial examination in Beiya. He really didn't know that such a person had appeared. The moth thing.
The Minister of Rites at that time was Lu Shusheng. Why should he, the new Minister of Rites, bear such great pressure?
Wan Shihe was a little panicked. He thought about it seriously, stood up, and asked a Tiqi to go to the Ministry of Rites to confirm. Not long after, the Tiqi reported back, and after confirmation from the Ministry of Rites, it was indeed the case.
After Zhang Juzheng heard this, he closed his eyes for a long time, stood up, shook his sleeves, bowed five times and kowtowed three times, knelt on the ground, sighed heavily, knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed, I don't care. Yan, I sincerely request you to serve as an official and return home to clarify your ambition and prove your heart."
Zhang Juzheng was completely unaware of this matter. He failed to pass the imperial examination and it was a matter discussed by the Ministry of Rites. Gao Qiyu never mentioned this matter.
This is not to blame Gao Qiyu, even You Qi once thought that his husband wanted to be Wang Mang, not Zhuge Liang. If Zhang Juzheng does not move forward, there is irrefutable proof that someone is pushing him to move forward.
Zhang Juzheng originally thought it was an ordinary court discussion, but he never expected that there would be such a big thunder waiting for him.
It was Zhang Juzheng who loudly told the world at this time that he didn't know about it. Would anyone believe that Zhang Juzheng didn't know about it? When Gao Qiyu handled such a big thing, he didn't discuss it with Zhang Juzheng?
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said solemnly: "Mr. Yuanfu, the late emperor has an order to serve as the assistant minister of the country. How can you bear to abandon me? How is the state's affairs? What about me?"
"I'm ashamed." Zhang Juzheng knelt on the ground and still couldn't get up. This was a big issue of right and wrong, and he never wanted to take his place.
Ge Shouli was surprised to find that he seemed to be in big trouble!
He just didn't agree with Gao Qiyu being a fellow examiner and wanted to change to someone else to achieve a small victory against Yuan Fu's tyranny and gain some prestige. As a result, Zhang Juzheng actually made up his mind to become an official.
If Zhang Juzheng runs away, who will govern the country?
What Gao Qiyu did was very, very stupid, but Gao Qiyu just did it. It can only be said that the sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks of the Ming Dynasty are like the crucian carp crossing the river. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! !
