Why is Wang Chonggu not afraid that His Majesty will behead him on the charge of committing a crime?
If the emperor really wants to take action against Wang Chonggu, there is no need to accuse him of being a traitor. When his simple daughter marries Yang Bo's son, the imperial edict is written in gold, and he can be beheaded directly. This is the real crime of transgression. How many crimes are there? The charge depends entirely on whether His Majesty is willing to give him a thumbs up.
First, he committed the crime of transgression (the golden words of his daughter's imperial edict), secondly, he committed the crime of corruption (proclaiming the construction of the Great Wall), then he committed the crime of greed (Shanxi merchants smuggling prohibited items), and then he committed the crime of conspiracy. The crime of rebellion (the northwest vassal town's ritual and music expedition came from the princes), then the crime of gathering (Yongding Guanchang Xishan Coal Bureau), then the crime of forming a party (the core of the Jin Party), and the crime of fleeing (hanging seals) and run away).
And he also has a more serious crime, that is, the crime of arranging gangsters and subverting the Ming Dynasty under his 50,000 words.
The placement of gangsters will change the class structure of the Ming Dynasty. Once Wang Chonggu truly fulfills his promise, it will break the strong personal dependence of the Jin gentry on the poor coolies. If one day the angry common people suddenly discover that the biggest crime of the Ming Dynasty is the deep What about the emperor who lives in the ninth level?
Arresting gangsters was Wang Chonggu's declaration and goal in joining the cabinet. As long as he fulfills his promise, he will embark on the same path as Zhang Juzheng. There is no turning back at all. It's just that Zhang Juzheng is full of ambitions, while Wang Chonggu is just to survive. Decisions based on a tyrannical desire to survive.
Therefore, after he entered the cabinet, his first advice to His Majesty the Emperor was to kill.
"What does Yuan Fu mean?" Zhu Yijun looked at Lu Tiaoyang. After Zhang Juzheng took office, the second assistant came to the throne, and Lu Tiaoyang became the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yijun naturally wanted to ask Lu Tiaoyang for his opinion.
"I have no objection." Lu Tiaoyang bowed his head and said.
Lu Tiaoyang never thought that Zhang Juzheng was going to become an official. He joined the cabinet after Gao Gong returned home in the sixth year of Longqing. He always did what Mr. Yuan Fu said was right. He helped Zhang Juzheng and rarely raised his own opinions. In my opinion, he has a relatively gentle personality and is very fair in handling matters. He does not like to form cliques and has no followers.
Zhang Juzheng charged into the battle, and Lu Tiaoyang was in charge of logistics. Now that he was asked to be the head of the hundred officials, it was not that he couldn't do it, he could only do a little bit, such as shouting about the emperor's sage and praising his virtues like Zhang Juzheng.
The Ming Dynasty is now a typical clay sculpture of the second pavilion elder and the paper-made Liu Shangshu.
When Zhang Juzheng contradicted the emperor, he was blaming Chen Shan. After all, there was Zhang Juzheng in front of him. Whether it was the crime of shocking the emperor or urging the emperor to be merciful, Zhang Juzheng was responsible for it.
But now that Zhang Juzheng is gone, the courtiers have to bear all the thunder and dew alone.
The emperor called him Mr. Zhang Juzheng, who was a teacher and student, and called Lu Tiaoyang and Wang Chonggu, who were Yuan Fu and Ge Lao, which were their positions.
Wan Shihe thought for a long time, then came out and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that the master Liu Chan is a weak and indecisive person, so he often ridicules Adou who cannot help him."
The current situation in the Ming Dynasty seems to be similar to that of Adou's time, and even worse than that time. After all, Adou was already sixteen years old when he succeeded to the throne, but the emperor in front of him, who had been emperor for five years, was only fifteen years old. , at that time, the Shu Han Dynasty was a separatist regime, but now the Ming Dynasty is a unified country, and the conflicts are fierce and different.
But it can still be compared.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe. This old man spoke really well. He seemed to have said everything, but he didn't say anything. He waited for the emperor to answer and then judged the direction of the wind. Anyway, Wan Shihe always talked like this, and he would not say anything. Say it to death.
Zhu Yijun knew what Wan Shihe was going to say, so he shook his head and said: "I don't think so. Liu Chan is still very decisive. I heard that an official named Li Miao said a few words to Prime Minister Zhuge after he left, Liu Chan He was punished for insulting my prime minister, he was sentenced to jail, and he was beheaded the next day. Is this possible?"
Wan Shihe bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty's success in studying is true. In the twelfth year of Jianxing, the Prime Minister passed away. His master, Liu Chan, wore sackcloth and mourned to mourn the Prime Minister. At this time, Li Miao reported."
"Lu Lu and Huo Yu may not have had different ambitions and wanted to rebel against the dynasty, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not want to become a monarch who killed ministers."
"Because the ministers are afraid of the king's persecution, and the monarch is afraid of the ministers' merits and prestige, so the monarch and ministers will be suspicious of each other. The prime minister relies on the elite army alone, like a wolf and tiger, and the five powerful people should not guard the border. Therefore, I often worry about the safety of the country.”
"Now that Zhuge Liang has passed away, the clan has been preserved, the war in the western frontier has stopped, and people are celebrating."
"The queen was furious when he heard about it. He immediately convicted Li Miao and had him beheaded the next day."
Zhu Yijun continued to ask: "What achievements did Li Miao have? Thousands of years later, we are still discussing him today. He must have done some extraordinary achievements to be remembered."
Wan Shihe replied again: "Your Majesty, Li Miao has no merit. He is only known because he slandered the Prime Minister twice. The first time he slandered the Prime Minister, the emperor was furious and wanted to kill him. The Prime Minister is still here, so He advised his lord not to kill people indiscriminately and to remember the sage's duty. In the twelfth year of Jianxing, the prime minister passed away. Li Miao slandered the prime minister again. No one tried to persuade him anymore, so he was executed the next day. Hence his fame.”
"I see, everyone should be like Dazai, study hard, and there are not many civil and military officials in the dynasty who know Li Miao." Zhu Yijun said to the ministers.
Due to the influence of public opinion in the Ming Dynasty, it was said that there was no great ethics after the Spring and Autumn Period, but only records. Therefore, scholars in the Ming Dynasty did not read history, or even Zuo Zhuan. As a result, their impressions of some historical figures were all drama and plain language. , stereotypes in storytelling.
Therefore, when Zhu Yijun and Wan Shihe sang and sang in harmony, the Confucians could not get in at all. Wang Xijue liked to talk about three generations of Dharma, and it was always about Yao, Shun, and Yu. Zhu Yijun and Wan Shihe also talked about history.
This memorial has several meanings.
The first meaning is that Zhang Juzheng's significance to the Ming Dynasty is no less than that of Zhuge Liang to the Shu Han, and Zhang Juzheng's significance to the Ming Emperor is no less than that of Zhuge Liang to his later masters.
What Zhuge Liang meant to the Shu Han Dynasty to the Later Lord was those two words, Xiangfu.
What Zhang Juzheng means to the Ming Dynasty means to the emperor, those three words, Ming Shenzong.
This is qualitative.
The second meaning is that the queen leader decisively killed Li Miao. Even the queen leader Liu Chan, who had always been regarded as weak, could not bear the people who slandered Xiangfu, and he was so angry that he killed Li Miao directly the next day. Well, His Majesty the Emperor waited until the court meeting and went through the process before killing him. This is already a great deal of face for his ministers.
Give me face to walk through the process, but don’t give me face, not even a single step of the process.
If these people started yelling at these people before Zhang Juzheng left and threatened to lose power, even the Ming Emperor could not kill them. Doesn’t it mean that the Ming Emperor was inferior to his successor Liu Chan?
This is the reason.
The third meaning is that Li Miao's crime was to slander the prime minister and was remembered in the history books of the Spring and Autumn Period. So these people have the same crime as Li Miao, and they should all be dealt with expeditiously. The reason why it has been delayed until now is because the Ming Emperor Give Zhang Juzheng some face.
This is a warning.
The fourth meaning is to once again emphasize the significance of Zhang Juzheng's court. Zhang Juzheng is a buffer zone for courtiers.
If you can understand the meaning, you will naturally not disobey the Holy Will. If you do not understand the meaning, you will understand it after you disobey the Holy Will.
"Before leaving, sir, I went to Chaoyang Gate with my husband. My husband interceded for Zhang Jiayin, a disciple of Xinzheng Gong. Zhang Jiayin returned to his hometown Dingyou in the third year of Wanli. He was reinstated in the sixth year of Wanli and returned to his original position. Sir, he said that Zhang Jiayin had just returned to the court and sent a memorial. The matter is not to agree with the criticism, I agree, Tishuai, let Zhang Jiayin be released tomorrow and still hold his original position." Zhu Yijun said to Zhao Mengyou.
Wang Xijue begged for mercy, but it didn't work. Zhang Juzheng begged for mercy, and it was granted, and he was reinstated.
This was Zhu Yijun's attitude. It was a very clear attitude. There was no doubt at all. The ministers no longer had to guess what he meant to Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Jiayin was a disciple of Gao Gong, and the reason why Zhang Juzheng begged Zhang Jiayin was just because Zhang Jiayin was an official and could do things.
After Zhang Jiayin and Ding You, Zhu Yijun didn't know such a person, so naturally he wouldn't steal his love. After observing filial piety for twenty-seven months, Zhang Jiayin criticized Zhang Juzheng as a traitor when he returned to court, and then he was caught. If it had been in the past, he would have scolded Zhang Juzheng. There were too many, Zhang Juzheng didn't care, and Zhu Yijun didn't bother to care, but it happened that Zhang Juzheng asked for leave, which caused big trouble.
Zhang Jiayin really thinks that Zhang Juzheng is a national thief, because Zhang Jiayin is a disciple of Gao Gong. Looking at Zhang Juzheng from Gao Gong's standpoint, isn't it like looking at a national thief?
This is Zhang Juzheng. After Gao Gong's downfall, Zhang Juzheng did not carry out liquidation. If he did, where would Zhang Jiayin get the chance to rebuke Zhang Juzheng as a villain?
How did Xu Jie deal with Yan Song's gang members? Kill them all, even Hu Zongxian!
Xu Wei was detained and had not seen the light of day for several years.
After deciding on the appointment of Lu Tiaoyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Wang Chonggu, the second assistant, and slandering the anti-Japanese government, Zhu Yijun did not continue to deal with state affairs. Instead, he looked around the courtiers and said nothing, just quietly. Looking at it, the ministers looked more and more disgusted.
"Scholar Wang." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Xijue.
Wang Xijue was so frightened that he suddenly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said loudly: "I'm here!"
Wang Xijue thought that he had just finished reciting the sutra and was going to the underworld with these twenty-six ministers. He was so frightened that his legs were weak. It was really this kid who did it. Isn't he so careless?
"You, you don't want to save these people at all, you are just persuading Renshu as usual. If you really want to save people, and you know that Mr. Zhang's words are effective, you will go to Xishan to invite Mr. Zhang." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Xijue and said with Said in a somewhat mocking tone.
This bunch of cheap scholars had no intention of saving people at all. If they had a strong will, it would not be too late to go to Xishan to bring in reinforcements. But none of them had such an intention. They were just trying to test the emperor's character under the pretext of saving people.
Some of the courtiers who were worried about Xiao Jiujiu immediately felt the sound of their hearts beating. Of course, this was not the sound of heartbeat, but fear, the fear that His Majesty had seen through their tricks.
Zhu Yijun is such a simple person, why do you still need to test him?
As long as you are useful to Ming Dynasty, you are a loyal minister. If you are useless to Ming Dynasty, no matter how famous you are, you will not show any mercy when you die.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wang Xijue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said loudly before bowing again.
"Go back to work." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, indicating to Wang Xijue to return to work.
Zhu Yijun still didn't speak because he was distracted.
When did Emperor Wanli launch a liquidation against Zhang Juzheng?
From June 24, the tenth year of Wanli, it was the fourth day after Zhang Juzheng's death.
Before Zhang Juzheng died of exhaustion, he recommended his advisor Pan Sheng as Yuanfu to continue to assist the emperor. The imperial censor Lei Shiji and other seven famous officials tentatively impeached Pan Sheng, and Emperor Wanli immediately approved the impeachment. According to the plan, Pan Sheng was completely dismissed. This was a signal of liquidation.
Then Zhang Dingsi saw clearly Emperor Wanli's dislike of Zhang Juzheng and his intention to liquidate him, and immediately began to criticize Qi Jiguang. Emperor Wanli did not even give a reason for Qi Jiguang to argue, and directly transferred Qi Jiguang with a transfer order. Gyeonggi.
Zhang Dingsi, a crony of Zhang Siwei.
In August, the palace ancestor Feng Bao was transferred to Nanjing, and Feng Bao's towering tree collapsed.
On December 14, the tenth year of Wanli, before the dust stirred up by Feng Bao's collapse had settled, the first shot to defeat Zhang was fired.
Shaanxi Taoist Censor Yang Sizhi Shangshu commented on the fourteen major crimes of the late Grand Master Zhang Juzheng. He briefly stated that he was greedy and tyrannical, used power to build a party, neglected relatives and deceived the emperor, and concealed the ruler and brought disaster to the people. The reply given by Emperor Wanli on that day was: I was entrusted with the Imperial Examination to wait for my age, and I had served as an assistant for ten years. I am now dead, so the loan will not be charged.
That is to say, Zhang Juzheng is guilty, but he served as an assistant and is dead today, so he will not be pursued.
December 14, the tenth year of Wanli, was the day that Zhang Juzheng changed from Shangzhuguo and Duke Wen Zhong of the Ming Dynasty to a sycophant.
Four days later, Sichuan Taoist censors Sun Jixian, Chen Yujiao, Xiang Rihong and others came to Shu and began to bite Zhang Juzheng rapidly.
Three months later, in March of the eleventh year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli issued an edict depriving Zhang Juzheng of all honors, including the honors of Shangzhuguo, Taishi, Wenzhonggong, etc., and also deprived Zhang Juzheng's three sons of Jinshi status. For his reputation, further liquidation and pursuit are brewing.
The pursuit and liquidation lasted for a whole year, and various charges emerged one after another. In the twelfth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli used Zhang Juzheng to preside over the deconstruction of the Liao Palace and harshly punished the clan. Wang Xiang and Jin Yiwei all ordered Cao Yingkui and others to start ransacking Zhang Juzheng's house in Jiangling.
In March of the twelfth year of Wanli, the local magistrate of Jingzhou received the order and did not dare to neglect it. He simply drove the Zhang family into their old house, sealed the door, and prohibited entry and exit.
By the time Qiu Li and Zhang Cheng rushed to open the door to check, more than a dozen old and weak people had starved to death in the Zhang family's old house. What was even worse was that in those days, the surviving family members could only watch helplessly as the hungry dogs roamed the courtyard. Eating dead relatives.
In May, Zhang Juzheng's eldest son committed suicide.
Emperor Wanli ransacked his house and what was found?
There are ten thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and a total of ten hectares of land, which is one thousand acres of land.
This is all Zhang Juzheng’s savings from decades of running the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and most of these assets come from the fact that from the first year of Wanli to the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the country, received a total of ninety-eight rewards from the royal family. There are daily notes that can be verified.
Since the first year of Wanli, the emperor and the empress dowagers of the two palaces have rewarded Zhang Juzheng for almost everything and at all times. The frequency of the rewards and the high amount of rewards are jaw-dropping. It is an unprecedented classic in ancient and modern times.
Emperor Wanli's house raid only yielded so little. He starved more than a dozen people to death, drove his eldest son and third son to suicide, and confiscated thousands of taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver. When Qian Mu came out, Emperor Wanli took back all the rewards he had received.
Zhu Yijun looked around at the courtiers and said, "Mr. Yan's fault will be executed without any comment."
If Zhang Juzheng is said to be at fault, he will be beheaded and will not be allowed to discuss it. This is the clear line drawn by Zhu Yijun after Zhang Juzheng left. Anyone who crosses this line will die.
"If you have something to do, leave early. If nothing happens, roll up the curtain and leave the court." Feng Bao came out again and shouted loudly.
"If you have something to do, you will leave early. If you have nothing to do, you will roll up the curtain and leave the court."
"Retreat from the court."
Zhu Yijun stood up and walked to the edge of the platform. He looked at the ministers with some confusion. Instead of greeting His Majesty with the usual greetings, there were only dumbfounded people.
"Do you have anything to say?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"I will send you off to your majesty!" Lu Tiaoyang quickly woke up from the shock and shouted loudly.
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction, left the Wenhua Palace with a string of tails, and headed towards Baoqisi.
Wang Chonggu and Lu Tiaoyang came last. They were the elders of the Clay Sculpture Pavilion. Whatever the emperor said, the elders of the cabinet had the power to refute the emperor's holy orders, but neither Wang Chonggu nor Lu Tiaoyang did so.
Wang Chonggu didn't dare, but Lu Tiaoyang didn't want to.
"Alas, His Majesty is already a young man." Wang Chonggu's words were a bit disrespectful. He saw His Majesty the Emperor's decisiveness, especially the sentence, "Mr. Yan's fault will be punished," highlighting the decisiveness and resoluteness of not giving up to anyone. If there is any discernment, as long as Zhang Juzheng is wrong, he will die.
This crime is legal under the imperial system, and it is a non-criminal punishment.
Wang Chonggu shook his head and said: "When we were fourteen or five years old, we all thought that the boss of heaven, the second boss of earth, and the third boss of me were the third boss. We thought we could catch dragons and snakes with our bare hands, and we had a huge quarrel with our parents. At your age, in the court, Zhang Juzheng is really cruel to scheming with us bad old men."
"To cheer up the Ming Dynasty, we have to do this."
Lu Tiaoyang looked back at the Wenhua Palace. He always felt that he had an illusion that he would never see that child with a sunny and cheerful face again before Zhang Juzheng returned to the court.
Over the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there is an indescribable monster.
At your age, Your Majesty really shouldn't have to endure this, but who makes His Majesty the emperor?
"The teacher taught me well. Now that Zhang Juzheng is gone, there is no one left to give a feast to His Majesty." Lu Tiaoyang sighed, and those who were qualified to be emperor's teachers ran to Xishan. Ding You went to observe filial piety. He went up Daozhushu asked His Majesty how to arrange the banquet, and His Majesty's reply was: "Is there anyone who can be selected?"
Lu Tiaoyang searched around the court, but could not find anyone qualified to be the emperor's master.
In the end, nothing happened.
Sitting and talking with His Majesty is no simple task.
Wang Chonggu looked at the court officials leaving the palace in twos and threes, and sneered: "Who says it's not the case? What do these guys think? Is there any benefit in forcing Zhang Juzheng away? This kind of work that harms others and does not benefit oneself, Can you do less? Like Hou Yuzhao, it would be better to do something practical."
"When will Mr. Wang Ge come to work in the cabinet?" Lu Tiaoyang said about the work arrangements of the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.
"I'm doing well in the Ministry of Justice." Wang Chonggu shook his head and said, "It's more difficult for Yuan Fu. Yuan Fu comes to post the floating bills. I have too many errands and have to travel here and there. It's inconvenient to be in Wenyuan Pavilion. The Wenyuan Pavilion is in the palace, and people come and go, so I'd rather be in the Ministry of Punishment."
"Why are you so timid now? Is there any elder who is still working in the ministry?" Lu Tiaoyang was dumbfounded. This guy Wang Chonggu actually accepted the appointment and refused to take up the post, and the reason was so high-sounding!
"Haha." Wang Chonggu flicked his sleeves, hummed a tune and left, leaving Lu Tiaoyang with an angry look on his face.
Wenyuan Pavilion has been entered, but it seems that it has not been entered either.
After the court meeting, Zhu Yijun changed his clothes, took a string of tails, and went straight to the Beijing camp in Beitucheng. The reason why he was so early was that he had to go to the Yicheng uncle's mansion in Xishan in the afternoon.
On the third and eighteenth days of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Yijun will go to Yicheng Uncle's Mansion on these two days, and today is the third day of the Lunar New Year. The reason why he goes to Yicheng Uncle's Mansion is to report on his work. Naturally, he wants to see such a talking Buddha. Let’s chat with Zhang Juzheng about these bits and pieces of the court.
The troops and horses were paraded in the Beijing Camp of Beitucheng. The soldiers of the Beijing Camp could still see His Majesty's figure in every corner of the Beijing Camp.
After having lunch in Beijing Camp, Zhu Yijun took a rest in Wuying Tower and prepared to go to Xishan. However, Zhang Hong hesitated and whispered: "Your Majesty..."
"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Zhu Yijun frowned and asked.
"Your Majesty, sir, you won't let your Majesty go down." Zhang Hong said softly.
Zhu Yijun stood up and slapped the table, and said angrily: "Well, you Zhang Juzheng! The world belongs to me! I can't go where I want to go?! I have to learn from Master Guo, how to tear down doors and move beds. This is the kind of thing.”
"What's the reason? What's the reason for him to do this? I'm not announcing his appearance. It's me. The emperor of tomorrow ran to see him, but he didn't let me go?"
"Sir, Your Majesty is wise and wise." Zhang Hong trembled with fright, knelt on the ground numbly, and said hurriedly.
"Commander Qi, count 10,000 troops and horses. I still don't believe it. I can't get in through the gate of the Yicheng uncle's mansion today!" Zhu Yijun flicked his sleeves. He paraded the horses in military uniform, so there was no need to change.
"I will order the troops immediately. I will give you a quarter of an hour to accompany your Majesty to attack the Taifu Mansion!" Qi Jiguang was just watching the excitement and did not think it was a big deal. He immediately agreed and was going to order the troops.
Soldiers were sent to Taifu's Mansion to capture Zhang Juzheng alive!
Yu Dayou wanted to stop him, but Qi Jiguang agreed before he said the words.
"Forget it, forget it." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with an unhappy look: "Shuai Qi doesn't need to order troops anymore. I'm tired today. Let's talk about it later."
"Ah? Why don't you order some troops? It's an activity anyway." Qi Jiguang said eagerly. Even if the emperor really wanted to do something to Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang could only accept the order, but Qi Jiguang knew that nothing would happen.
"How about doing some activities?" Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, saying that he was just doing nothing.
"Your Majesty! The important affairs of the state are only dedicated to the military. How can the military affairs be such a child's play! If the courtiers get it wrong, won't they cause a big mess?" Yu Dayou finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded the two people of their identities.
One is the supreme Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and the other is the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp who has a large number of troops. How could he be so ridiculous?
"It's a good idea to be wrong. My sword is not bad at all." Zhu Yijun explained to Yu Dayou with a smile.
It happened to be used as bait, and the provincial courtiers thought that Zhu Yijun didn't mean what he said, so they used the heads of these evil-minded and cheap Confucians to prove that Zhu Yijun did what he said.
Yu Dayou thought about it for a while, then realized what kind of fish he was trying to catch, and said helplessly: "Ah, this...it's really hard to be an official in the court."
"Forget it, let's do it next time." Zhu Yijun stood up and went back to playing and making trouble. He didn't make fun of the Beijing camp. This was a concrete manifestation of the violence between the country and the DPRK. Next time he led Tiqi there, he wouldn't have this worry. .
Zhu Yijun left the capital camp and continued his daily routine.
After Zhang Juzheng settled in Yicheng Bofu, apart from signing official documents, he did not post a floating ticket. Although the emperor gave him this power, he did not express any opinions on the court situation. Ding You is Ding You, and returning to power is Returning to power, this is why Zhang Juzheng refused the emperor to go to Xishan.
Last time, when His Majesty's five-day inspection of the army and horses was changed to daily inspection of the army's horses, Zhang Juzheng had to help the emperor mount his horse. Now, His Majesty no longer needs his help to move forward.
He knew that he also needed to let the world know.
Zhu Yijun knew very well what Zhang Ju was thinking. He thought it was unnecessary, but Zhang Juzheng insisted, so it was just as the teacher said.
When Zhu Yijun returned to the capital, he saw Ge Shouli's official memorial. Ge Shouli asked for an audience outside Guanghan Hall.
"Xuange pays homage to you." Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Hong.
"I pay homage to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty." Ge Shouli bowed tremblingly, and Zhang Hong helped Ge Shouli up and onto his seat.
"Will Mr. Ge also abandon me?" Zhu Yijun said helplessly.
"I'm old. If I don't leave, I won't be able to serve anymore." Ge Shouli said with a smile: "Your Majesty, time is not forgiving. I originally planned to wait for Your Majesty's wedding before becoming an official, but this body is really strong. I can’t hold it anymore.”
"I beg your Majesty to release the old minister and return him to his hometown to live with his relatives."
"After Ge Gong passes away, who will be the leader of the Jin Party?" Zhu Yijun looked at Ge Shouli's white hair. He was indeed old. Yang Bo had been dead for five years.
Ge Shouli held his beard and said with a smile: "The old loyal king of Wangge can still fulfill his role."
Loyalty to the emperor and constitution of the country are used in conjunction. Ge Shouli only said that Wang Chonggu was loyal to the emperor, but did not say that Wang Chonggu built the country. Ge Shouli also had reservations about what Wang Chonggu wanted to do.
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! !
