Wang Yaozhuo, the maid who moved into the Qianqing Palace, smelled an unusual smell as soon as the fire started. Wang Yaozhuo was still a little unable to sleep after she had just moved into the Qianqing Palace. She was somewhat excited as she was destined to sleep with her. She always slept restlessly, and opened her eyes when she smelled the smell. She was a little confused, her face changed drastically like a rabbit that woke up, and she was about to break into the emperor's palace wearing obscene clothes.
There are nine rooms in the Qianqing Palace, and people can live in these nine rooms. There are warm pavilions between the east and west ends. There are fire pits in the underground of the warm pavilions. There are corridors in the east and west, corridors and corridors connecting the left and right corridors. The entire Daming Palace is This kind of wooden building is easy to burn.
Wang Yaozhuo was making a fuss in front of the door. Zhu Yijun got dressed and walked out. Seeing Wang Yaozhuo's bare feet and wearing obscene clothes with a panic expression on his face, he asked someone to bring a crane cloak to Wang Yaozhuo. Yaozhuo put it on and said with a smile: "Why panic?"
Wang Yaozhuo looked at the emperor in disbelief. The person in front of him seemed to have expected that there was a fire in the palace, and the emperor actually put on his clothes before walking out of the palace.
"Let's go." Zhu Yijun rubbed Wang Yaozhuo's hair and walked in front. A total of eight servants including Wang Yaozhuo from Qianqing Palace walked out of Qianqing Palace.
Fire shot into the sky.
On April 14, the fourth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun, who had just succeeded in triggering thunder, finally offended the gods and caused the heavenly fire to fall. The fire of unknown origin suddenly rose from the Guiji Gate on the west side of Jinshui Bridge and spread to the imperial city. There are three main halls: Huangji, Intermediate and Jianji.
The strong wind carried the flames and rolled them into tongues of fire several feet high. Whenever they touched the wooden structure of the palace, a sea of fire quickly ignited. The roof tiles crackled and exploded in the fire, flying all over the sky.
The flames were hot, illuminating the frightened faces.
As soon as Zhu Yijun walked out of the palace gate of Qianqing Palace, he saw Feng Bao and others waiting outside the palace gate. Since Feng Bao was taken away from the position of Qianqing Palace, he was not allowed to enter the palace gate without permission. If there is anything, please pass the note outside. , The ancestors were not dissatisfied with this matter. After all, the struggle between Zhang Hong and Feng Bao maintained an unbreakable situation. Zhang Hong specially arranged for the maid and Xu Jue to exchange news.
At this time, Feng Bao no longer cared about the imperial ban and hurriedly ran to the emperor, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I am late to save you. Please forgive me."
Feng Bao was holding the report box in the palace. At two o'clock in the morning, when Feng Bao was going to report impeachment, he saw a piece of paper that read: There may be a fire in the palace.
Feng Bao immediately realized something was wrong. Intelligence is like this. The simpler it is, the more real it is. The more complex it is, the more detailed it is, and the less trustworthy it is. There are time, place, characters, events, and even various detailed conversations. It’s okay not to read this kind of intelligence. But the fewer the words, the bigger the trouble. Feng Bao did not dare to slack off and prepared for it.
At that time, Feng Bao arranged for people to deal with the situation and prepare emergency plans. When he heard that the fire had broken out, he immediately informed the emperor that the fire had broken out and asked the emperor to take refuge.
That's why Feng Bao came in a hurry. On the 29th of the first month of the first year of Wanli, the assassin king Shajia also set fire first and then assassinated.
Feng Bao was most worried about the emperor, but the emperor appeared in front of Feng Bao. Feng Bao breathed a long sigh of relief. Feng Bao was almost scared to death. Fortunately, he was able to save him this time, otherwise his head would not be saved.
There has been a change of master in the palace, and the slave Feng Bao will undoubtedly die. Which emperor would not replace one of his own?
The place of refuge was Cining Palace. The design of Cining Palace was not connected to the corridors and corridors, so the young emperor could take refuge in Cining Palace and the fire in the palace would not spread there.
"Feng Banban can give a warning in advance and rush to the rescue as soon as the fire breaks out. The fire is still a few feet away from the Qianqing Palace. Feng Banban will not give you any gifts." Zhu Yijun was not in a bad mood and even called Feng Bao Being with Feng Banban proves that he is in a good mood.
There were too many fires in the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty. This center of power was the place where the conflicts were most intense. Zhang Juzheng and the emperor's master and apprentice made people angry and even planned to launch an attack on the theory of telepathy between heaven and man. Is that okay?
Compared with the last time Feng Bao arrived late, this time Feng Bao had already warned before the fire spread to Qianqing Palace. This ancestor was already very qualified.
"Let people move all the valuable things out of the palace and send them to Cining Palace. I will stay in Cining Palace for a few days first." Zhu Yijun gave the order in an orderly and calm manner, and said: "Bring Sister Wang a pair of shoes. come out."
"I obey the order." Feng Bao bowed his head again and said. He led the eunuchs into the palace and began to rescue them. He moved all the valuable things out of the palace and planned to move them to Cining Palace. After Feng Bao led the people into the palace, Zhao Mengyou Dozens of Tiqi led a large group and rushed to the Qianqing Palace. If the fire burned the palace, it could be rebuilt. But if the fire burned the emperor, everything would be over.
The emperor's sparring partners also arrived immediately. These ten sparring partners have now begun to practice, wearing red helmets, and are responsible for guarding the palace. With the fire, the five sparring officers on duty, Luo Sigong and others, did not touch the ground with their feet. Rushing to the Qianqing Palace, Luo Sigong took off all his armor along the way. He ran fast, which was also convenient when entering a fire scene to rescue people.
When I arrived at the Qianqing Palace, I saw the little emperor standing in the square, looking in the direction of the flames with his hands behind his hands.
"My rescue is late." Zhao Mengyou didn't have any armor on him, and he didn't know where he had thrown it. When he saw that the emperor was fine, his heart dropped in his throat. With the current tax collection ability of the Ming Dynasty, it was Even if the entire palace is burned down, another one can be built, but if His Majesty is gone, it is really gone.
Zhang Juzheng is about to die, Feng Bao is about to die, and most of the court officials have to be replaced. Once the emperor and the court officials, the Ming Dynasty, which had just begun to feel inspired, will fall into the quagmire again.
"Not too late, Tishuai will not give you any courtesy. All Tiqiu will not give you any courtesy. Go in and help and rescue the valuable things. They are all money. They will be made with money if they are gone!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and signaled. Ti rode into the palace to help.
The frugal little emperor is very frugal!
Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen came next. The empress dowagers of the two palaces arrived almost at once. When they saw Zhu Yijun standing in the open space in front of Qianqing Palace, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, are you injured?" Empress Dowager Li looked at the little emperor carefully. Compared with the last assassination case of assassinating the king, he was still injured, but this time he was intact.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "No, today's ministers are becoming more and more incompetent. Last time they set fire to someone and sent people to Qianqing Palace to assassinate them, now they can't even send anyone to me."
"Man-made?" Queen Mother Chen's expression changed dramatically. She had always believed that the little emperor was the real dragon. As long as the real dragon was in power, the Ming Dynasty had nothing to fear. But this real dragon was a living person. As long as he killed this person, the Ming Dynasty would be afraid. The energy that was just restored will all dissipate.
As long as they are human beings, they will die if they are killed. "
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "Someone reported that there might be a fire. If so, it is naturally man-made."
"Damn it, damn it!" Queen Mother Chen was immediately angry. She was a little confused. Didn't the courtiers clamor every day for a wise king? The Mingjun is right in front of us. If he is killed, how slim will the chance of another Mingjun be in the world?
It’s really damn good!
The valuables from Qianqing Palace were sent to Cining Palace. Zhu Yijun looked at the fire with dark eyes. He was thinking about many things and was not very angry. This was all in traditional arts. Zhu Yijun also took precautions. The fire became more and more intense. Da, Zhu Yijun no longer asked the palace people to continue to put out the fire, and it would be better to just burn it cleanly.
The losses were huge. Starting from Youshun Gate, the fire burned to Wucheng Pavilion, Huangji Gate, Zuoshun Gate, Wenzhao Pavilion, Huangji Hall, Zhongji Hall, Jianji Hall, Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, which is equivalent to destroying the Ming Dynasty. The buildings on the central axis of the palace were all on fire.
The fire swept through and burned everything that could be burned. The fire slowly came down. Tishuai had locked the palace door. No one was allowed to enter or leave the palace. He was preparing to clean up the palace. All the maids in the palace were To pass the test, we must find this criminal and give him an explanation.
Zhu Yijun wrote a note in Cining Palace, which read: The court meeting will be held as usual tomorrow.
A fire will be a fire, work will be a work, the court will still be discussed. If the Wenhua Palace is closed for a day, the government will not be able to flow normally. Ming affairs will be delayed for a day, the new policy will be delayed for a day, and the Ming Dynasty's excitement will be delayed for a day.
As soon as the fire broke out, Zhang Juzheng hurried outside the Meridian Gate and asked to open the palace door and enter the palace to see the emperor. This was a very forbidden thing, but Zhang Juzheng couldn't care less. He just wanted to knock on the palace door at night to see the emperor. At least make sure the emperor is fine.
Then the court officials and officials of the Ming Dynasty gathered outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for the emperor's order.
Xu Jue was put down from the basket. The palace door must not be opened. Xu Jue just gave Zhang Juzheng the note written by His Majesty, and then returned to the palace in the basket.
Xu Jue didn't say a word. In Xu Jue's view, even Zhang Juzheng was a suspect before the matter was investigated clearly.
You know, Zhang Juzheng is the leader of civil servants. In the eyes of eunuchs, these civil servants should all die.
Zhang Juzheng finally came to his senses after seeing the emperor's handwritten letter. His Majesty was fine. This was the greatest luck.
However, the emperor's imperial edict made Zhang Juzheng a little sluggish. After such a big thing happened, the emperor immediately asked the court to proceed as usual! It should be a blessing that His Majesty is so diligent in his work. This is considered from a public perspective, but from a private perspective, the emperor is the most outstanding disciple of his chief minister!
Tai Sui is making trouble! Don’t you know how cruel and ruthless Zhang Juzheng is? Zhang Juzheng and benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust are not compatible at all.
It was destined to be a sleepless night, but Zhu Yijun slept peacefully. After the fire reduced, he yawned and went straight to sleep. Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen stayed awake all night in a hurry, so Feng Bao had to catch this thief. arrived, and asked Guaman to find the real culprit behind it.
Wang Yaozhuo was waiting in front of the emperor. She looked at the little emperor's face and was a little obsessed. She couldn't understand that such a big thing had happened, and the little emperor could still be so calm and sleep so soundly. .
This was a man-made disaster, but in the face of such a sudden change, his expression remained unchanged and his clothes were still very neat.
The appearance of the note is the biggest evidence of the man-made disaster. This incident must be man-made, not a natural disaster. Now that the Ming Dynasty Palace is equipped with a lightning rod, how can the gods be so angry!
Once the palace door is locked and isolated from the world, the palace of the Ming Dynasty is a typical zero-sum game. Under the zero-sum game, it is easy to find someone. Soon Feng Bao found the little yellow door where he reported the case. The eunuch said that he had heard about it occasionally, and he followed the clues and found the person who set the fire. However, when he found the person, he had already hanged himself from the beam.
It's not that Feng Bao arrived late. The body was already cold. After setting the fire, this person committed suicide out of fear of guilt. The clue seems to have been broken here.
It seems so, but in fact the clues are not interrupted at all. Although the mole who set the fire is physically dead, his life has been profiled by Dongchang fans, and a person living on paper has appeared.
The trajectory of the mole's life became extremely clear, and then he began to investigate from all aspects. What was particularly surprising was that all the clues once again pointed to one person, Gao Gong in Xinzheng.
Feng Baoren was dumbfounded. He and Gao Gong had a grudge. Their relationship was such that they wanted each other to die the next day. It made Feng Baoren want to deliberately create an unjust, false and wrong case!
But all the clues and goals are extremely consistent. Feng Bao knows something is wrong, Zhao Mengyou also knows something is wrong. The most important thing is that Gao Gong does not have that ability. When a person loses his power, ghosts will not come to him. Gao Gong is a Jin Geng is a somewhat capable man, but if he wants to make some splash in the capital, he still can't do it.
The last time Gao Gong returned to Beijing, except for Ge Shouli and Zhang Juzheng, there was no one to see him off. This was the result of losing his power.
Everything was wrong. This was because the direction of the investigation was wrong. This time, Zhao Mengyou started further investigation. If Gao Gong couldn't do it, someone was doing things in Gao Gong's name.
If you want to make a conspiracy work, the more people it involves, the more people you want to investigate, you can always find out the truth.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yijun was in good spirits. The ministers came to the Wenhua Palace again and saw a fire scene full of ashes. According to the method of dealing with fires in the three main halls during the Jiajing period, the Beijing army began to enter the palace to deal with the fire scene.
In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing reign, Emperor Jiajing, who was in charge of Wulei Dazhen, had a thunderstorm and a sudden fire. Fifteen gates on the three halls and two floors were all burned down. The next day, 30,000 people from the military industry entered and 5,000 vehicles began to enter. Every day at Yin hour, which is three o'clock in the morning, they start to enter the palace, and they go to the palace until You hour, which is nineteen o'clock in the evening. It took them more than ten days to clean up the fire scene.
On April 14, the fourth year of Wanli, all the buildings along the central axis of the Ming Palace were burned down.
Zhang Juzheng looked at the scene of the fire and was in a daze. It was too bad. The scene in front of him was as bad as his mood. He just knocked on the palace door last night, and today he did something even more transgressive, blocking the court officials from entering the palace. , single solo pair.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty. I am ashamed of the late Emperor's trust and your Majesty's reliance, which caused Your Majesty to be in deep trouble and unable to do anything. I am guilty." Zhang Juzheng knelt on the ground and burst into tears as soon as he finished speaking.
"Oh, sir, please wake up quickly. What's the crime?" Zhu Yijun still said with a smile: "As long as you don't kill me, sir, you are not guilty, no courtesy or courtesy."
"Sir, since the capital was moved to Beiya in the 19th year of Yongle, there have been forty-two fires in the Beiya Palace of the Ming Dynasty, an average of once every five years. Among them, the biggest fire occurred when the capital was moved to Beiya in the 19th year of Yongle. Emperor Cheng Zuwen had just moved the capital to Beiya. The palace was set on fire in April, and it was not until the sixth year of orthodoxy that the three main halls began to be renovated."
"In the 20th year of Yongle, the Qianqing Palace caught fire again, and Emperor Chengzuwen's palace was set on fire again."
"In the first month of the ninth year of Zhengde, the Qianqing Palace caught fire again. The fire burned for three hours, and the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace were burned down."
"In the first year of Jiajing, less than a year after Emperor Sejong entered Beijing, three palaces including Qingning Palace caught fire. In March of the fourth year, the Renshou Palace caught fire. In October of the eighth year, the Qianqing Palace caught fire. In the first month of the tenth year, there was another fire in the palace."
"There was a fire in April of the 36th year of Jiajing's reign. The three main halls, the second floor of civil and military affairs, Zuoshunmen, Youshunmen, Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, and Meridian Gate were all burned to the ground. What can grandpa do? There is nothing we can do except issue an edict to rebuild it.”
It's not like Zhu Yijun didn't read national history. He knew clearly that the palace, which was at the center of the power struggle, was the most dangerous place in the world. A fire could kill him, the emperor, at any time.
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time and said: "I implore you to thoroughly investigate the murderer!"
"Sir, do you think it's man-made?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked calmly.
"It can't be a natural disaster. It rained heavily at noon. Your Majesty's thunder tower was successful. Although I don't understand, I also built a thunder tower at my home. It can indeed... cover the sky and avoid lightning shocks. Although I don't understand, but There is no way that this lightning protection tower is a natural disaster!" Zhang Juzheng immediately replied: "It was just someone deliberately setting the fire!"
Zhang Juzheng didn't trust anyone. He farmed in the emperor's palace. He planted sweet potatoes under the hackberry tree. The palace conducted dispersion experiments. He insisted on checking them in person. There were telescopes in the palace for stargazing. Zhang Juzheng also had two. He didn't trust the people around the emperor. The eunuch, just like Xu Jue even suspected Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng was afraid that the young emperor would be deceived, and the eunuch felt that Zhang Juzheng was also one of the suspects.
This lightning protection technique is too similar to those magic spells. Zhang Juzheng was also afraid that the little emperor would go astray and indulge in Taoism and other things, so he also built a lightning tower that was the same as the one in the palace, and the lightning rod, he A lot of them have also been installed just for comparison experiments.
The result is that it is indeed possible to avoid lightning. Therefore, this thunder earthquake is definitely not a warning from heaven and man, but it is just the infinite principle of all things that has not yet been understood.
Then this fire was not a natural disaster caused by lightning, but a deliberate arson.
"I thought sir was going to settle the matter again." Zhu Yijun was a little surprised. He thought Zhang Juzheng would use the fire case as a political bargaining chip like the last time. Even if he did, Zhu Yijun would not blame Zhang Juzheng. s Choice.
In the first month of the first year of Wanli, there were less than 400,000 taels left to build the late emperor's mausoleum. The Ming Dynasty was about to fall apart, so they could only exchange it like this.
Now that the Ming Dynasty's New Deal was being implemented, the fire in the palace was used as a bargaining chip, and Zhu Yijun also approved it. Who wouldn't accept a little grievance? Nine times out of ten it will be unsatisfactory.
To discuss political orders without any background of the times is to be ignorant of the current situation of the world and goes against the laws of natural development.
"I will be punished by death!" Zhang Juzheng himself was very vengeful, and of course he knew that his apprentice also held vengeance. That's why he brought Gao Gong to the capital last winter to restart the assassination of the king, even if it involved Guang Guang. Everyone, we cannot allow Your Majesty to suffer this injustice.
But the emperor's choice was not to reopen old cases or settle old scores, but to endure this grievance for the sake of the stability of the country and the new deal.
Having suffered many grievances, Zhu Di happily moved his capital from Nanya to Beiya. The new house he had just lived in for three months was ordered to be ordered, but he could not suffer from the attack. A year later, the palace where he lived was ordered to be ordered again. Five Northern Expeditions , What could Emperor Wen do when he made six voyages to the West (the seventh time was during the Xuande period)?
If you can only repair it, you will bring about the wrath of heaven.
"Sir, please don't commit capital crimes all the time, just like a public official." Zhu Yijun corrected Zhang Juzheng again. The Ming Dynasty's New Deal was vigorously launched. Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng were both harmed and prosperous. If Zhu Yijun died, Zhang Juzheng would surely step down and even die. Not sure.
Although Zhu Yijun did not have a son, he had a younger brother who raised Zhu Yijun to be the emperor, but Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, and Feng Bao, the ancestor, would undoubtedly die.
The emperor did not doubt Zhang Juzheng at all. Even if it was finally found out that Zhang Juzheng did it, Zhu Yijun would of course kill Zhang Juzheng, but he would only blame himself for not knowing people well and trusting others. He would never cancel Zhang Juzheng's decree.
Zhu Yijun hopes for the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty more than Zhang Juzheng. Making the Ming Dynasty great again is a mission higher than his own life, honor and disgrace.
This is true for Zhang Juzheng, and even more so for Zhu Yijun.
"A thorough investigation must be carried out, sir. Let me tell you a joke. This time it's still Gao Gong, hahaha!" Zhu Yijun laughed after saying that. Feng Bao and Zhao Mengyou didn't believe it. Gao Gong, that stubborn old man, was so courageous. He's big and has a ruthless hand, but he doesn't have that ability now.
When Zhang Juzheng heard that the murderer had been found, he immediately raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, I ask Tiqi to go immediately to apprehend the important criminal and return to Beijing. Xu Xing asked questions."
"Gao Gong, I've seen him before, and I don't think it's him." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said.
"Since the murderer wants to track down Gao Gong, let's track him down, and the truth will naturally be revealed." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said.
Zhu Yijun understood that this was a common method of political fighting. The enemy used conspiracy and tricks to push the boat along. The emperor seemed to be fooled, but in fact it was just to make the enemy relax their vigilance and then conduct an ambush, just like what Qi Shuai did in Qinglong Fort. Son, lure the enemy deeper.
"Well, Feng Daban and Tishuai have launched a new policy to arrest Gao Gong... Please come back and ask. It's a request, not an arrest. Gao Gong is suffering from old illnesses, but don't tie people to the horse. It's absolutely impossible. Although I don't like Gao Gong and don't agree with Gao Gong's new policies, he still has made contributions to the country, just by slowly coming to Beijing." Zhu Yijun is not a weirdo, he does not agree with Gao Gong's approach and does not like Gao Gong, but Gao Gong after all It is a contribution to the country.
In Zhu Yijun's case, as long as he is an individual, the emperor will treat the other person as an individual.
"I will receive the order." Zhao Mengyou directly ordered Tiqi to send troops to Xinzheng, which was Gao Gong's hometown.
"Your Majesty, I would like to invite Commander Qi to return to the capital." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and asked for orders. His intention in inviting Qi Jiguang back was very clear. Zhang Juzheng was planning to go on a killing spree! Since they have to overturn the table, Zhang Juzheng and the little emperor have the same solution, super double!
Directly recruit troops to surround and kill, and physically eliminate all the opponents, and the problem will be completely solved.
Zhang Juzheng found that Tan Lun's radicalism was very reasonable. He understood Tan Lun, recognized Tan Lun, and became Tan Lun. Zhang Juzheng planned to overturn the table and kill him until his blood flowed into rivers. After killing him, the sky cleared up and he dared to take action against the emperor. Then you have to bear the emperor's wrath.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "What about Daning Guard? No more?"
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "We can make concessions to the Tuman Khan. Instead of making the king a king, we can trade with each other and transfer the army back to the capital."
"I will not make concessions to the Tuman Khan. The military dispatch of the Daning Guard will still follow the old order. The Daning Guard cannot allow any mistakes." Zhu Yijun said with great disapproval. Compared with the Da Ning Guard, the liquidation can be postponed.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Juzheng held up his hands. This time he was very stubborn.
"Sir, the national situation is in danger!" Zhu Yijun still disagreed.
Zhang Juzheng shook his head again and said: "The king is selfless!"
"State affairs have priorities, and conflicts have major and minor issues. This is the principle taught to me by Sir. The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least. This is the law of "Mencius: Chapter 2 of the Heart". How can you not distinguish the priorities clearly? What about the primary and secondary? Occupying Daning Guard is a long-term strategy for the country and must not be lost." Zhu Yijun was very insistent, and he was also very stubborn.
"I have never taught you this sentence. During the Hongwu period, this sentence was deleted." Zhang Juzheng immediately retorted.
Zhu Yijun sat upright and said: "There are three things that any country relies on for its establishment: the people, the country, and the king. Everyone knows that the king is respected and the country is important, but they don't know that the people are more important."
"In my words, although the people are small, they are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is solid and the country is peaceful. Why?"
"Although there is no respectable power, but there is a formidable appearance, the people are the most noble. Although the country is a town, the people use the soil as their offerings, and the sacrifices are for the people's livelihood. The people regard food as their heaven. And praying for grain is for the people's life, and it cannot be compared with the people, so it is said that the country is second."
"As for the king, although he is the master of both gods and men, he cares for the common people, all because of the love of the people; protecting the territory, all because of the peace of the country, and cannot be compared with the two, so it is said that the king is lightly .”
"The importance of a husband, the people, and the country is like this. As a king, can't he not put the people and the country as the top priority, but work hard every day to plan for safety?"
Zhu Yijun directly recited a full text and asked with a smile: "Mr. taught me."
Zhang Juzheng was surprised and uncertain. This was indeed his annotation, discussing the relationship between the people, the country, and the king. However, he remembered it very clearly. He never mentioned this paragraph when giving banquets. According to the ancestral teachings of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, this was deleted content. He Naturally, he didn’t know how to teach. He was extremely surprised and said: “This is an essay and annotation, not a direct explanation of the Four Books. I have never taught you!”
"Is that what sir said?" Zhu Yijun said calmly.
"When I returned to Beijing in the 35th year of Jiajing's reign, I did annotate this paragraph, but I did not submit it to the emperor." This paragraph is not included in the direct interpretation of the Four Books printed by Zhang Juzheng.
"I asked Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, to find it for me." Zhu Yijun said with certainty, "This is indeed what the teacher taught you."
"I have made up my mind. Qi Shuai is still in Daning Guard. It won't be too late to sort things out when he comes back." Zhu Yijun refuted Zhang Juzheng with Zhang Juzheng's reasoning.
It is natural to overturn the table, but it must be done until the army triumphs and the Yongping Guard soldiers take over the defense of Daning Guard. This is the long-term policy of the country.
"Xuanda Sikou is coming into the palace." Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong to call Wang Chonggu in.
Wang Chonggu knelt down as soon as he entered the palace. He walked to the front of the emperor, knelt on the ground, and said in a submissive voice: "I am guilty, and I am unworthy of Your Majesty's holy grace."
"I would also like to ask Your Majesty to spare the lives of my family and my family in consideration of my modest achievements in the northwest of my country in presiding over the tribute payment, relocating the herdsmen, resettling 190,000 refugees, reclaiming wasteland, promoting sweet potatoes to support the people, and supervising the official woolen factory."
Wang Chonggu knew very well who was responsible for the fire in the palace. The range of people in the court who had the ability, courage, and motivation to do this was really very small.
This time, Yang Bo did not come out to calm things down. Wang Chonggu had no intention of trying to calm things down. He had no ability to cover up such a huge matter. He just hoped that he and his son would not be implicated in it.
Wang Chonggu only regretted that he released the poisonous snake too late and did not poison Zhang Siwei directly.
The most radical person in the court was Tan Lun, followed by Wang Chonggu, then the emperor, and finally Zhang Juzheng. The most conservative one was Wan Shihe, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
