Zhu Yijun heard Chen Ju mention Liu Tai again, so he took Liu Tai's memorial and read it. It was a thick book and it seemed to have 5,000 words. A closer look at the contents shows that Zhang Juzheng is actually attacked, but there are also secret attacks on Zhu Yijun for tampering with the ancestral system:
"Loyal ministers are not selfish, and private ministers are unfaithful. In the first year of Wanli, I was recommended by Juzheng and was appointed as the censor. However, I can't recommend it for personal reasons and forget the righteousness of my father." Let me explain first, although I, Liu Tai, relied on Zhang Juzheng for promotion, but The stabbing at him was out of righteousness.
"In the past, a case against Minister Wang was reported, and Gao Gong was falsely accused. Gao Gong, a man who wields power, has never heard of his rebellion. The public discussion is unfair. Ju Zhengmi wrote a letter to Gao Gong not to be alarmed, for fear that he would be blamed for killing the minister. . If the husband chases him and accuses him falsely, the prime minister will be powerful; but if the private letter is safe, the prime minister will be blessed. Is this the law of the ancestors?"
Liu Tai brought up the case of Minister Wang at the beginning of his article, attacking Zhang Juzheng for not distinguishing between public and private affairs, and alluding to his intention to be a "ruler". Then he extended it and attacked Zhang Juzheng for using the imperial power to gain power and said: "This is an edict, and it is strict. Juzheng said: 'I have spent so much effort to do this.' Therefore, people dare not not thank him first. This person is more afraid of Juzheng than His Majesty. Guo Wenye, Juzhengze said: "How hard it is for me to do this." Therefore, this person dare not not thank him first, this person cherishes Juzheng more than he cherishes Your Majesty... ..Is this the way our ancestors taught us?”
This period of naked estrangement between Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng is ten times more obvious than when Yu Mao learned that "the merits of Duke Zhou are so great that he should be a minister."
"If the examination of Juzhengtiao and Chen Zhangzou is completed, each provincial governor will make two books every two quarters, one for the cabinet and one for the imperial examination. If the imperial examination is delayed, it will be promoted by the ministry; if the ministry is hidden, it will be examined by the imperial examination; if the ministry is hidden, it will be promoted by the imperial examination; if the ministry is hidden, it will be examined , the cabinet ministers raised it... The cabinet ministers have no seals, but they are just serving as advisors and do not infringe on political affairs, which is the law of the ancestors. Juzheng created this system, but he only hijacked the academic system and always listened to his own orders. For example, if we add him as a 'cabinet prime minister', advisor, or prime minister?... This should be the law of our ancestors?"
Finally, I finally saw that the cabinet where Zhang Juzheng lives suppresses the rule of law to control the ministers, which is contrary to the laws of the ancestors. Zhang Juzheng wants to be added to the title of "Prime Minister of the Cabinet". It is clear that he wants to return to the prime minister. Don't think we are blind!
Later, Liu Tai listed Zhang Juzheng's major crimes: "In order to choose a good land and house plan, and to guide the government, he falsely accused the King of Liao with a serious crime. Now the King of Wugang is discussing the crime again." The case of the King of Liao was a major case in the second year of Longqing. , the King of Liao eliminated the vassal and the country with thirteen major crimes, and Liu Tai was the first to overturn his conviction.
When Emperor Wanli of the original time and space liquidated Zhang Juzheng, the first major crime of Zhang Juzheng in the "Liao King Case" - when the Manchu Qing Dynasty revised the Ming Dynasty, he actually put this shit basin on Zhang Juzheng's head.
In fact, the crime of the King of Liao was already concluded in the "Guochaoxianzonglu", because during the death of Emperor Shizong, he did not wear mourning clothes, did not offer sacrifices, and swaggered through the market in bright clothes and angry horses, which was reported to the Jin Yiwei. Emperor Mu Zong was furious when he heard the report, and sent his royal guard Cheng Yao and Minister of Punishment Hong Chaoxuan to find out his thirteen major crimes, including murder and violation of regulations, before imprisoning him behind a high wall and exterminating the country. Because the King of Liao was in Zhang Juzheng's hometown of Jingzhou, the royal residence was later bought by Zhang Juzheng's family. This was the bad thing about the Zhang family - Liu Tai picked up the pot of shit and put it on his head.
Liu Tai's second charge against Zhang Juzheng was: "Not long after he entered the cabinet, he became rich and crowned the whole country. How can he do this? He has palaces, horses, wives and concubines, just like a prince. How can he do this?" This reference You can't say that he was wrong. Zhu Yijun knew that Zhang Juzheng was almost the same as his teacher. The eldest brother, let alone the second brother, was just the emperor's admission.
The third charge is terrifying: "Ju Zheng's corruption is not in the civil servants but in the military officials, not in the heart but in the frontiers." - Revealing the bribery of Zhang Juzheng by Li Chengliang, Qi Jiguang and other frontier officials, alluding to his disobedience heart of.
In addition to these, Liu Tai also accused Zhang Juzheng of "assisting the government and worrying about it" and other crimes. The last one pointed directly at the emperor's previous edict - "Those who use the emperor's power for their own use and are given the title of 'prime minister of the cabinet' will Isn’t that Zhang Juzheng’s intention?”
After criticizing Zhang Juzheng both inside and outside, Liu Tai said at the end of the memorial in order to arouse the emperor's resentment towards Zhang Juzheng and leave a way out for himself:
"At this time, it is easy to admonish the master, but it is difficult to speak to the ministers. As for ministers, every time they hear someone's words, they will use the favor of the master to arouse the master's anger, or call them slander, or call them traitors, or call them traitors. Resentment may incriminate one person and keep others vigilant, or even use yin to block others... Then the villains rise up and join in, and the misfortune of officials is exacerbated, the evil of ministers is exacerbated, and the world's national affairs are gone. Yan Song and others in the past serve as a mirror for today!"
...
After Zhu Yijun finished reading this long memorial, he took a deep breath and said to Chen Ju: "Well, as expected, the bamboo pen is like a knife, penetrating into the bones! What do you think?"
Chen Ju pondered for a moment and then replied: "Your Majesty, with my knowledge, Liu Tai said that it was Zhang Juzheng's idea to add the title of 'Prime Minister of the Cabinet'. Did he not understand the Emperor's intention to change the law? It should be because he was thinking I know how to pretend to be confused and try to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun sneered: "You are right. Look at this sentence: 'Before Wang Anshi is not responsible for assisting the government,' the fox's tail has been exposed long ago! Zhang Juzheng is not responsible, how can he, Liu Tai, do it?!"
After pondering for a moment, he instructed: "This is a good edict. The team was immediately clear about it - according to my order, the Jin Yiwei arrested Liu Tai and Fu Yingzhen and sent them to the Zhenfu Division for questioning!"
After hearing this decree, Chen Ju knew that it was the right thing to do, so he quickly accepted the decree. Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't Zhang Juzheng take the book?"
Chen Ju touched it from his sleeve and said, "The emperor knows everything well. Zhang Juzheng firmly resigns his appointment."
When Zhu Yijun took it over to look at it, he wrote a thousand words, the most important sentence being "I am sloppy in academics and shallow in practice. I am dedicated to you day and night, but my words and sentences are rough. My hands and feet are tight, and my efficiency is at the end of the legal system. I am mentally weak." Exhausted, performance ignored.”
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Well, the old gentleman still understands my thoughts. Copy this memorial and show it to everyone who submitted the memorial to see if they are ashamed!"
After hearing this, Chen Ju smiled and said: "Zhang Juzheng still wants the emperor to make the decision for him. This article of three concessions and three concessions is well done."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "Well, otherwise he can't establish his authority. It's no good if the person leading the reform has no authority. - Liu Tai's memorial is up. Zhang Juzheng will resign tomorrow. I want to make the decision for him, and also Do it more solidly.”
"Didn't Liu Tai say that I 'condemn one person and be wary of the rest, or even use the evil to block the others'? I will not convict one person, but pass on my oral instructions and order the remaining thirty-seven people to go to Huangji Palace tomorrow. , tell me directly, if you can’t explain the reason, we will all be held accountable!”
After Chen Ju heard this, the sweat on his forehead began to fall again, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, I said something that should not be said. 'Different opinions are mixed, that is, no one dares to do anything wrong', so the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites When the two ministers and these people are cleared out of the court, the court will truly become a 'One Word Hall'!"
Seeing that Zhu Yijun looked at him and refused to answer, Chen Ju continued: "There is no memorial to the science and education so far, which shows that the cabinet has suppressed it - the emperor must not be careless."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun showed a half-smile expression on his face and said, "You said Zhang Juzheng suppressed Ke Dao? Can he rebel by relying on Ke Dao?"
After hearing this, Chen Ju sweated more on his face and said with a wry smile: "How can there be anyone who conspires against others in this world? I'm afraid that after the court's words, the way of speech will be blocked, and the emperor will not be able to control the overall situation."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun pondered for a while and said: "I see that the success or failure of the reform in ancient and modern times all depends on the four words 'dissenting opinions'! So if there was no party strife in the Song Dynasty, could the Jin Kingdom be destroyed? What have I done in the past few years? If newspapers, Xinggewu, and words and deeds in the attendant's office cannot cultivate a group of reform ministers, then it is a failure - there are thousands of officials in the imperial court, and there are only thirty-nine people. I can't afford to lose."
"Once the reform is launched, it will be as powerful as thunder and will go all the way to the end. If I have the intention to stir up dissent, the reform will fail. As for the hidden dissidents, it is still the same saying, 'see things without looking at the heart', I don’t care what they think - just get the reform thing done, if not, you will be dismissed from office; if it is done, even if you are a die-hard anti-reformist, I will still reward you!"
After hearing this, Chen Ju moved his lips slightly and wanted to persuade him again, but he hesitated. In order to reassure himself, Zhu Yijun finally gave the final answer: "When I read Fu Yingzhen's memorial just now, I thought that everyone in the cabinet was in the same party as Zhang Juzheng, so I said it was not good. After reading Liu Tai's memorial, I felt relieved. ——Only half of the people in science and education are under the sects of Wang Guoguang and Zhang Siwei. Of the remaining half, Lu Tiaoyang still has a few, and they are all watching the wind - without their instructions, this group... ..Well, I can’t bite!”
He paused and then said: "It's a coincidence that Ge Shouli is ill, so the medical school..." He was about to say that he would send two people to treat Ge Shouli, but then he thought again and said: "Forget it, he is too old. You go and let him beg for his bones. This time, I will definitely agree!"
