Zhu Yijun's final "white ass" remark was so despicable that it hurt those who invited him by name to the bone. As the saying goes, scholars can be killed but not humiliated. Wang Yongji, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was one of the people who opposed the reform. Hearing what the emperor said was so mean, his face turned red with anger. He suddenly left the class and kowtowed: "The emperor desires to see you. For dogs, horses, and earth?"
Wang Yongji Mingshou was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing. Because he was an upright man and dared to act in times of trouble, he was always known as a straight minister in the court. This time he impeached Zhang Juzheng and said, "From my perspective, everything in the world is unselfish and no one is unselfish, except Your Majesty." He criticized Zhang Juzheng for monopolizing private interests without any scruples. Then the ministers would have no way to repay His Majesty's kindness. , I can only be a minister.
This statement makes sense, but in the view of Zhu Yijun, who has already raised the banner of reform, Wang Yong's argument is nothing more than alienating the emperor and his ministers. At this moment, I saw that he was resisting, and his words were very harsh. It was very similar to the meaning of "If the emperor treats his ministers like dogs and horses, his ministers will regard him as a countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit." Internally, I was getting more and more angry.
He snorted coldly and said: "It turns out that it is Wang Mingshou who was taught by his mother to 'recommend officials without a hundred years'. Did your court teach you to coerce your father to come here today?"
The officials who had already been scolded by the emperor had pale faces, their hearts trembled when they heard the emperor scold Wang Yongji like this.
What Zhu Yijun said about "recommending officials without a hundred years" refers to an incident when Wang Yongji was promoting officials in Huai'an. Wang Yongji was born in Shigui Village, Jinjiang, Fujian Province, where there were only the Xu family and a few Wang families. Because Xu has a big surname and Wang has a small surname, it is inevitable that people will bully the weak and the strong will bully the weak, which will lead to a rift with Wang Yongji. Wang Yongji later passed the Jinshi examination and settled in Huai'an as an official. Because he was given a leave to return home, the Xu clan heard rumors that Wang Yongji himself led his servants to exterminate the Shigui Xu clan. Knowing that he was inadequate and resisting, the clan elder summoned the whole village to kill Pu'an Gong, who was worshiped by the clan. An incense burner in front of the seat was broken into 49 pieces, which was exactly the number of people attending the meeting. Everyone was asked to take a piece of the piece and run away, declaring that if they were destined to meet again, they would use the piece as a clan mark. Later, Wang Yongji received a warning from his mother: "There are stone turtles for a thousand years, but there are no officials for a hundred years." Wang Yongji did not take action - and there are still many Shigui Xu family members who have not returned home.
This incident is nothing more than a famous anecdote in the clear stream, and the preacher only praises Wang Yongji's mother for her virtuous character. However, in the opinion of Zhu Yijun, who has heard about this incident-who can put himself in Shigui Xu's shoes and imagine the darkness that he feels!
Today, because Wang Yongji resisted, Zhu Yijun pointed out the matter with a gun and a stick. His remarks were extremely mean and made Wang Yongji difficult to resist. The emperor's words were full of justice, and there was nothing wrong with the accusation - your virtuous mother would let you threaten me today?
After Wang Yongji heard the emperor's almost insulting words, he was so ashamed and angry that he rushed to the top of his head with tears in his eyes. He kowtowed first, then choked with sobs and said, "What the Emperor wants to teach you is, how can a person who is unfaithful and unfilial to his ministers stand in heaven and earth?"
After saying this, he stood up suddenly, crossed the kneeling ministers in two steps to accept their absolution, and slammed his head against the red lacquered wooden pillar in Huangji Hall. He couldn't think about it for a moment, and thought that his death wish was real, so the impact was so powerful that the emperor and the ministers heard a loud bang. Wang Yongji's body was hit and fell to the ground, with blood pouring out from his head.
At this time, Huangji Palace let out a coax, and all the ministers were so frightened that they could not stand. Zhu Yijun stood up suddenly from his throne in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment. ——Fortunately, the two imperial doctors who had come to treat Tao Dalin were left behind by Chen Ju, and they came in handy at this time.
When Chen Ju saw that there was a big mess, he hurriedly went out and separated everyone, and asked two imperial doctors to come over to bandage and treat. The two imperial doctors came over and felt Wang Yongji's pulse, then looked at the injury on his head, and said to Chen Ju: "There is a crater on my forehead. Send him to medical school quickly."
Chen Ju looked at the imperial doctor and said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, let's do our best to treat him!" The two imperial doctors nodded and asked the internal officials to find a wooden board quickly, put Wang Yongji on it, and ran all the way out of the palace gate to deliver medical treatment. Went to the hospital.
After Chen Ju returned to his original position, Zhu Yijun waved to him. Chen Ju did not dare to step up to Lord Dan. He could only take two steps closer and wait for Zhu Yijun to lean down before reporting in a low voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, although he is seriously injured, he will not die." If you convey the decree without asking for it, please ask the emperor to punish you."
Zhu Yijun nodded and comforted him: "Well, it's urgent in front of me this time, so it's okay."
The two briefly exchanged a few words. Seeing that order had not been restored in the palace, Hao Weiqiao coughed twice first, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet! If anyone makes noise again, get out!" The ministers wiped off the cold sweat on their heads, Hold your pounding heart in your chest and stand in line.
Wang Yongji's fierce move once again pushed the court meeting, which Zhu Yijun had already taken control of, into an unpredictable direction. Although the ministers in the palace felt that Wang Yongji was making a fuss out of a molehill, the emperor, as the most powerful emperor, personally engaged in verbal disputes with his ministers and used harsh words. Most people still felt a little bit slanderous in their hearts, and felt that he had changed a lot from before he took office.
Seeing that the emperor was in a daze on the throne, Lu Tiaoyang hurriedly came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, although Wang Yongji is strong, his behavior is no different from what he did just now to force the palace! Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been gentle and kind to his ministers. The people in the world can see his clothes and push his food, and all the people in the world will praise him!"
"The king Yongji sacrificed his life rashly, not out of righteousness, but because of shame and anger. Even if he died, his crime would not be forgiven! He committed suicide and earned the name of the emperor Jie and Zhou. His heart cannot be questioned!"
After all, he was the second assistant cabinet minister. In a few words, Wang Yongji's suicide behavior was determined, and every word he said was reasonable and impossible to refute. When all the officials in the palace heard this, they all nodded in agreement, saying that the king had used it to kill himself, and the emperor had nothing to worry about.
Zhu Yijun composed himself, his face was solemn, and he said loudly: "Well, Mr. Lu and others don't need to comfort me. Did Wang Yongji kill himself in shame and anger, or did he sacrifice himself for the righteousness in his own heart? Let's ask him when he wakes up. But the righteousness in the heart of the minister, It means something different from what I have in mind. I would like to take this opportunity to talk to you."
When all the ministers listened to the emperor's confession, they all held their breath and listened quietly to Zhu Yijun's words.
Zhu Yijun said: "The ideals you have in mind are nothing more than 'supporting the country and serving the emperors Yao and Shun', etc. Maybe the emperor has no way and floats on the sea on a boat, but the ruler has the way and is tied up in the dynasty. The so-called 'order the family to rule the country and bring peace' "The world" is the ambition of scholar-bureaucrats; "The imperial court has raised scholars for hundreds of years, and those who have sacrificed their lives for justice are today" is the righteousness of scholar-bureaucrats."
"My ambitions and righteousness are also different. Do you see that? Therefore, 'One leaf can tell the autumn of the world.' When I first saw this picture, I was deeply frightened - I knew the general trend of the world, the vastness of the country, and the country. The opportunity for good and evil has been revealed!"
"When I first got this picture, I arranged for my attendants to publish the words of the Haojing merchant in the newspaper. Unfortunately, you only read it and never thought deeply about today's "big world". Due to the discovery of sea routes, it has changed." A thoroughfare!"
"You can take a closer look at what the Sanbaobao eunuchs did in the past. Although it is breathtaking, the Western barbarians have reached ten times as many as the Sanbao eunuchs today! Today, the ships and navy of the Ming Dynasty can still take as many as the Sanbao eunuchs. The wealth is on the sea, and the Western barbarians are kept outside the country?"
"The territory of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles close to the sea. If the Western barbarians are strong and attack our heartland with their fleets, the beacon smoke will be a hundred times the size of the Japanese rebellion, and it will burn all over the world! If God protects our country, there will be no disaster from the Western barbarians' attack. One is to take the initiative to take control of other people's hands; the other is that all the sacred lands in the world have been taken by the barbarians, and the Chinese people can only guard these ancestral lands - in the future, the population will multiply, land annexation will be fierce, and the ancestors will flourish. Is it possible that the industry has no boundaries?"
"My lords, 'the world' has changed! In the past, the small world of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was no more than 5,000 miles long and no more than 3,000 miles across. The princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period conquered each other for hundreds of years. Among them, the remaining states were Lulu. Where is your home now?"
"And the situation of conflict between countries has emerged, but it is a pity that no one in the government and the public has opened their eyes to this era of great conflict! This is a great change that has not happened in a thousand years! The struggle for hegemony between the vast countries with a territory of thousands of miles is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat! At this time, I can stay safe for a hundred years, and when your, my, your, your, your, ministers, and your descendants grow up, I am afraid that Lu Chen of China will not tell lies for prophecies."
"How can I leave my descendants with troubles? How can I leave the great legacy of my ancestors to others? I came to the throne at a young age. I want to lead this country and my subjects in my lifetime to compete with other countries and share the wealth of the world. Earth, I want our great Ming Dynasty to show its power among the raging waves of the sea, on the grasslands and Gobi land, wherever the sun and moon shine, there is the land of China!"
"Thus, the great righteousness in my heart is to bring this great Chinese clan with great etiquette and beautiful uniforms to the top of all races in this era of great struggle. The rest are all small; let China The great righteousness of propriety and benevolence spreading throughout the world, the rest are all small; the great righteousness of letting my descendants, your descendants, and all the people of the world live in a world of great governance in which the widowed, widowed, lonely, and sick are all supported, the rest are all small! "
"My lords, can you hear clearly what I want and what my great righteousness is? This time, I will not do it for my own benefit to those who interfere with the country. I will impose light punishments. If there are those who do not listen to the teachings in the future, they will block my ambitions. , I won’t let you go if you realize your ambition!”
