A night of singing and dancing. The next day, Yu Maoxue put on the small-sleeved shorts that were popular among libertines in Nanjing at that time, put on the Weiluo Huayang scarf, and ate porridge and side dishes on the boat with dark circles under his eyes.

From the gentle countryside to the river bank, the fresh air after the rain made him feel happy. As usual, Nanjing's science and technology officials took turns to answer Mao. He was worthless today and was in a particularly happy mood.

Yu Maoxue walked to wait for the bus, first went to Xingkou Zhong Market to pick up two fresh fish, and then went to Doumenqiao Fruit Store to buy two kilograms of melons and fruits. When I yawned and arrived at the door of my house, I saw my companions circling outside the alley entrance like ants on a hot pot.

Seeing that Yu Maoxue was back, the boy rushed over and said, "Sir, a Jin Yiwei is here!" When Yu Maoxue heard this, his heart thumped, and the fish and fruits in his hands spilled all over the floor.

Then he calmed down, snorted coldly, and then said loudly: "I will wait for the remonstrance officer. If I am sent to prison, I will be honored in Huagong. What should I be afraid of?" After saying that, he looked around with the corner of his eye. .

Seeing that there were people gathering around to watch the excitement in the streets, he held his chest high and stumbled towards his home. It's a pity that yesterday, for the convenience of socializing, he wore a short-sleeved shirt, otherwise he would have had a black gauze robe and belt, and the character of Qing Guan'er would have been established.

When I got home, the neighbors had already formed a large circle at the door. Seeing him coming back, they all said, "You're home now."

At this time, Yu Maoxue's wife, half-grown boy and a little girl with yellow hair were standing in the courtyard waiting. Opposite, four knights in brocade clothes, one wearing red armor and carrying wild goose feather swords, stood looking at the sky. Seeing him coming back, the lady burst into tears first.

Xiaoqi, the leader of the Jin Yiwei, came over and said, "Master Yu is romantic and happy, but he makes a certain family wait."

Yu Maoxue ignored him and comforted his wife a few words, telling her to stay close to the door and not to worry about anything. He then told her in a low voice the location of the silver hidden in the house, and warned her earnestly: "I have friends out there rescuing you. You must not make your own decisions and go north." It's a waste of money. I have written a letter to my family. It's in the study. You can arrange for someone to send it to your parents to let them know and come to take you back to your hometown."

He whispered instructions here, but the Jin Yiwei did not stop him. After he finished explaining, Xiaoqi sneered: "Is that done? Let's go with a certain family." The guard behind him shook the iron chain in his hand, pulled Yu Maoxue's arms behind his back and locked them. Yu Maoxue's wife and two children were frightened. Yelling and crying.

Standing outside the door, a scholar wearing a square scarf shouted: "Master Yu is aboveboard, why should shackles be an insult to politeness? You are not going too far!"

Someone else shouted: "Your Excellency, I was appointed by the imperial court to advise the emperor on the duties he should perform. What mistakes did he make? There must be a treacherous official in the imperial court who deceived Sheng Cong, and that is why this injustice happened to the loyal!"

When Xiaoqi heard someone making trouble, he whipped out his Yanling knife. The triangular eyes showed a fierce light and swept through the crowd. Wherever they looked, there was silence.

Yu Maoxue sneered, and chanted loudly: "The generosity is still too weak, but the loyalty will shine through the ages. I have not served the country in my life, so I will keep it as a loyal soul!" When the people watching heard this, they cheered loudly, regardless of the threat of the Jin Yiwei.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi, who had a sinister face, had read a book. When he heard this, he sneered: "Yang Zhongmin's poems were written when he was beheaded, not after a romantic and happy life! Mr. Yu need not be so arrogant, You've seen a lot of officials like you!"

Yu Maoxue's face turned red after hearing this, and there were a few low laughs from the people watching. Seeing that his arrogance had subsided, Xiaoqi shook his head and several people escorted him away.

...

At this time, the official circles in the capital were agitated by Yu Mao's book. Zhang Juzheng gave up his intention of testing the emperor and continued to plead for Wang Zhuoyu and Yu Maoxue.

According to Zhu Yijun's original intention, Yu Maoxue would not be caught. This department has the power to refute and supervise the six ministries, and it also monitors each other with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is a very clever method in the ancestral system established by Taizu. The basic idea is to "control the big with the small, and defend the external with the medium".

In particular, the use of the six subjects to review official documents is extremely important in government affairs. If there are any shortcomings in the government's decrees, the six subjects should be corrected before they are issued. This is an important part of correcting administrative errors.

Although the six subjects have developed to the present, there are shortcomings such as "never heard of a word about the benefits of the military and civilians", everyone has their own schemes, and they are willing to be ministers' hawks and dogs. However, this is a personnel issue caused by the system and needs to be clarified slowly from the beginning. , cannot be manipulated at this time.

But after Yu Mao finished his undergraduate degree, Zhu Yijun suddenly wanted to understand why Zhang Juzheng was sitting on the Diaoyutai without any movement. This was because he wanted to test his talent as Zhu Yijun.

Zhang Juzheng's political stance is, don't you want to change the law? Don’t you want to restore the rule of Renxuan? This test is coming, you have to figure it out.

If it were the original time and space, and Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao were still in charge of the inner court, Zhang Juzheng would have developed the idea of ​​"Who else is in charge of the country but me?", and he would have given the politically blind Empress Dowager Li an idea by this time.

But now it is Zhu Yijun, the political relationship between Zhang Juzheng and the emperor is not like the political relationship of "I am not the prime minister, but the minister" in the original time and space, but similar to the relationship between Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi. One person leads the internal affairs and implements various reform measures. One proposes strategies and supports from the rear.

In this way, Zhang Juzheng certainly wanted to test the emperor's ability to withstand pressure. Future reforms will only become more and more difficult. Without strong determination and will by the supreme ruler, everything will be empty talk. Zhang Juzheng was indifferent at first, just to see what attitude the emperor could show him.

After thinking about this, Zhu Yijun realized that he had made a mistake. I still handled this matter according to Zhang Juzheng's political characteristics in the original time and space, and ended up like "two monks with no food to eat." If Wang Zhuoyu had used thunder in his first book, everyone would have stopped long ago.

It's not too late to figure it out now. Zhu Yijun immediately issued an order that day to put Wang Zhuoyu, the first one, and Yu Maoxue, the most high-profile person, to jail for questioning!

In the original time and space, Empress Dowager Li's endorsement in Yu Maoxue's memorial was still very stable, and her reply was very feminine - "I have succeeded to the throne in the year of Chong, and I have been guarding it day and night. The laws established by our ancestors are afraid of being lost, and all I have done in recent years is to affirm the old rules. , cultivate and destroy, never kill a person indiscriminately, or do a single thing for a wrong thing. He has not performed one or two of the ten laws of his ancestors. How can he achieve it?"

Look, does she look like the aggrieved little daughter-in-law who just took charge of the political affairs? I am just clarifying the past rules. No one killed anyone indiscriminately or did anything that exceeded the standards. I am afraid of not being considerate in following the laws of my ancestors. How can you unjustly accuse me of "caoqie"?

The following paragraph should be the solution provided by Zhang Juzheng: "Yu Mao only takes responsibility for his academic position and does not consider the court's efforts to govern. He uses the theory of greatness to win people's hearts and undermine the government. This must be bribed by corrupt officials and rich people to lobby for him. . It seems that these traitors who are disrupting the government should be governed according to the law. They should only be lenient if they are officials. They should be dismissed from their posts to serve the people and never be used again."

This passage is much stronger. Maybe it was a small note handed by Zhang Juzheng to Feng Bao, and the original text was directly transformed into an imperial edict.

In the time and space Zhu Yijun was in, he could not say such words. On the one hand, he has quietly changed many of the ancestral laws. On the other hand, he has killed too many people and cannot write the true feelings that Empress Dowager Li spoke of at the time.

Of course, another reason is that Zhu Yijun is a history buff rather than an expert on Ming history. It is impossible for him to know Yu Maoxue, let alone how Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao were criticized back then.

In this time and space, after careful consideration, Zhu Yijun made a high-level instruction, which has guiding significance for the entire imperial supervision system. as follows:

"Taizu said: 'The Yushitai, the punishment and inspection department, etc. are the messages of the ears and eyes. We must be able to invigorate all the departments and carefully select virtuous and upright people to help me prevent arrests.' From then on, all the ancestors of the ancestors, all the censors , The selection of the six subjects is called Shen and Su. It is specially designed to take action, and only the wise and good prescriptions are selected. It is the most clear and beautiful selection."

"The imperial court treats him well! As soon as he has achieved results, he will build the capital hall in two turns. He will open the palace without waiting for the month. According to the rules of the year, he will change the aspect every year. This is due to sincerity."

"But what about today's admonishment? First, everyone has his own intention, everyone has his own desires, and there are many documents and articles, which are annoying and blasphemous. In the past, big things didn't work, but small things didn't work. Now, neither big nor small things can work. If everything is done If we can't fight, what's the use of mending gaps and picking up things?"

"Both of them are incompetent to supervise. Some are chasing rumors, or making false accusations for personal gain; some are keeping silent, or confusing right and wrong. Some are clearly aware of evil, protecting the party and refusing to interfere; some are falsely accusing good people, expelling dissidents, and confusing state affairs! "

"Today's kings Zhuoyu, Yu Maoxue and others are playing favoritism in the party, hoping to get a clear name; selling this chapter to the court in return for the bribes of corrupt officials and wealthy people. The Jin Yiwei and others must really investigate who this generation is working with to alienate the monarch and his ministers, and whose interests are being pursued ?”

"However, there must be fragrant grass in the land of ten steps; there must be loyal men in the city of ten houses, not to mention the place of admonishment! I have deep faith in the censor's words and official duties, and I must be responsible for them. If there is sincerity in the admonishment, Why should I hesitate to reward people for their benefit in political affairs?!"

"Everything that enlightens me and supports the country's politics, and the consequences of what I say are true, will be adopted. If there is any failure to do it properly, as long as the heart is in the country, I will not be guilty."

"However, the country is established, and before it can be proven, we must no longer talk nonsense, empty words, and mess up our affairs. The test of the law is just a statement of the ancestral rules. If it cannot be implemented, how can the law be feasible in this world? From now on, there will be empty words related to the test of the law. You are not allowed to enter the memorial hall, and those who violate it will be punished!"
