Chapter 38 Shameless
Help Gao Gong recover?
After hearing Zhang Jing's words, Zhu Yijun was stunned. There are such strange people and strange things among the people? Do you want to play Ye Emperor's trick? Is it a bit amazing to be able to influence the prime minister of a country?
"This Shao Fang made friends with officials from all walks of life with a lot of money. He once came to find Mr. Xu to seek help Mr. Xu to recover."
"But Mr. Xu did not agree, so Shao Fang found Mr. Gao Ge again, but Mr. Gao Ge did not refuse. Shao Fang then brought his people to the capital and began to bribe Chen Hong, the eunuch of the Sili Prison at that time."
"Ultimately, under Chen Hong's operation, Gao Ge Lao was able to return to Beijing and enter the cabinet."
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun smiled. Shao Fang might be a broker, and might have bribed many officials with money, but if he really wants to say that he is seeking a recovery for Gao Gong, Zhu Yijun would definitely not believe it.
Maybe he really bribed Chen Hong, but the effect was definitely not that great.
However, the collusion between Gao Gong and Chen Hong was true. After all, Gao Gong later supported Chen Hong as the eunuch in charge of the seal and pressed Feng Bao for granted, which also led to Feng Bao's crazy revenge on Gao Gong.
This may be the law of fate.
You should know that Gao Gong is the reason why Gao Gong is his father's teacher and has protected his father since he was in the residence. After his father ascended the throne, he continued to use Xu Jie to stabilize the situation, but two years later he took Xu Jie's house.
At that time, the one who my father wanted to be the chief minister of the cabinet was Gao Gong, which can be said that Gao Gong was inevitable.
Speaking of which, Zhu Yijun really admires Xu Jie. He is a ruthless official. He fought with Yan Song for half his life and also trained his successor Zhang Juzheng. He sent Zhang Juzheng to his father's residence early. He is really scheming!
But many times it doesn't go as expected, and the students he likes are different from him.
Xu Jie was a complete powerful minister and an "official", and Zhang Juzheng was an ideal reformer. I have to say that Xu Jie had a good vision, after all, his ability to choose Zhang Juzheng also shows that he was able to recognize people.
"What about this time? Who asked him to come to the capital?" Zhu Yijun turned to look at Zhang Jing. This was what he cared about.
"He came back to the emperor, he took the initiative." Zhang Jing said a little embarrassedly: "It has been five years since Mr. Zhang became the prime minister of the cabinet. Since the second year of Wanli, Mr. Zhang has implemented the method of examination."
"The court's assessment of officials was very strict, which made Shao Fang's business difficult."
It's not just difficult to do, it's just a waste of money. How could Zhu Yijun not understand this? In the past, Shao Fang pointed to this and had a very high status. After all, even officials asked him to do things.
But since the examination method was established, the possibility of his activities and operations was small, and it would be strange if he didn't hate Zhang Juzheng to death.
What a big deal to seek resumption or promotion for someone, what a deal? Now that Zhang Juzheng has been strangled to death, how could Shao Fang not hate Zhang Juzheng? Besides, Zhang Juzheng has been in charge for five years, and he can't get out of here for a while!
Yan Song joined the cabinet in the 21st year of Jiajing until the fall of Jiajing in the 41st year, and served as a cabinet minister for a full twenty years. Now, looking at Zhang Juzheng's appearance, he is probably longer than Yan Song's.
After all, Zhang Juzheng is only fifty-three this year, and it is not a big problem to live for another ten or twenty years!
After hearing Zhang Jing's words, Zhu Yijun was silent. Everyone said that reform would touch the interests of vested interests, but you didn't know who was vested interests. Like this Shao Fang, who would have thought of such vested interests.
"Take a good trial and see who colludes with him." Zhu Yijun said casually: "Then your East Factory will look at the punishment!"
"I understand!" Zhang Jing nodded quickly and said. Looking at the punishment, Zhang Jing instantly realized that it was to kill him.
Since the large-scale dispatch of the East Factory killed a lot of people, the rumors in the capital disappeared instantly. In the past, the people who were sneakingly talking about the streets and alleys disappeared, and this scene made many people realize it.
The person who had contact with these people shut up instantly, and no one dared to talk nonsense.
However, there are still rumors in private that Zhang Juzheng arrested and killed people, and they said it in a similar way, and they wanted to act as a drama of "a treacherous minister who harmed loyal and kind people, and a righteous man from the world bravely died."
I don’t know if there will be a martial arts script based on this as the backbone in the future, or if you will make a movie or TV series in the future.
This matter was quickly eliminated. After all, no one encouraged it. Just like in later generations, without the pace of the navy, it would be quite difficult for you to hype something, let alone this era.
Everyone's attention was focused on the next dynasty meeting. It was not that there was anything important, but that of the five gentlemen.
Since Zou Yuanbiao’s memorial was heard, the emperor issued an order to arrest Zou Yuanbiao in the East Factory and entered Zhao Prison, the four gentlemen became five gentlemen. Now that the emperor has issued an order, the court stick will naturally be implemented, and everyone is concerned about this.
The court stick is not a secret, but a big blow and openly fight.
When the dynasty came to the court, he took off his pants and beat the court stick in front of all officials. The heaviest five people's 80 court sticks and the lightest sixty court sticks, which can kill people. Everyone is paying attention to these five people, and countless people are running around to save these five people.
The emperor has issued an order, and Zhang Juzheng is in danger of robbing the relationship, and no one is allowed to submit memorials to object to this matter.
The incident of robbing love became a foregone conclusion, and the five gentlemen naturally became the last focus of the incident. For the anti-reform group opposing robbing love, these five people are heroes, and they must be saved, otherwise whoever you want to make a comeback in the future.
Many people plead for mercy, but when the memorial is handed in, it is like a rock sinking into the sea and there is no news.
Countless people turned their attention to Zhang Juzheng again, believing that only Zhang Juzheng could save these five people at this time.
When the autumn rain fell, Zhu Yijun stood in front of the window of Wenhua Hall, looking expressionlessly at the raindrops outside beating the ground, making a sound of banging. As the saying goes, an autumn rain and a cold, especially in the Ming Dynasty in the Little Ice Age.
The cold wind blew on Zhu Yijun's body, and Zhu Yijun couldn't help but shivered.
"Your Majesty, it's cold, so it's better to close the window!" Zhang Jing said carefully behind Zhu Yijun. As the old man following Zhu Yijun, Zhang Jing could naturally see that Zhu Yijun was in a bad mood.
"Those people are still in the Zhang Mansion?" Zhu Yijun did not answer Zhang Jing's words, but asked a question.
Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Yes, the imperial envoy of the Censorate, the clerks of various subjects, as well as the Hanlin Academy, have gathered more than 30 people now. Mr. Zhang has sent people to spread the news twice, saying that he is mourning and is not convenient to see guests."
"How shameless!" Zhu Yijun sighed and said, and finally smiled bitterly.
These people, under the banner of righteousness, claim to be a clean stream, control public opinion, but do things so shamelessly and despicable. They impeached Zhang Juzheng and were sent to Zhaozhuo. Now they still have the face to ask Zhang Juzheng to plead with him and let him let go of the "Five Gentlemen"!
How did you scold Zhang Juzheng at the beginning? What are you unfilial, what are you not a son, what are you traitorous ministers who are suffering from power and position, what are you greedy for power and shameless? Now you have forgotten all of you? What you are playing with moral kidnapping, and what are you suppressing people with righteousness!
You have to listen when scolding you. No matter how ugly the scolding sounds, you have to endure when beating. No matter how painful the beat is, I was punished because of beating you. Not only can you not pursue it, but you also have to help plead for me to release me.
There is no such reason in the world!
This is Chilolo's robber logic!
This is how Confucius said, "Repaying grievances with virtue" was misinterpreted by you? Mr. Kong's original words were "How can we repay grievances with virtue? Repaying grievances with virtue and repaying grievances with righteousness." To put it bluntly, it is to use tooth for tooth and eye for eye.
There is no reason to stand on the moral commanding heights and ask others to repay their grievances with kindness!
According to Confucius' teachings, if Zhang Juzheng doesn't kill you, he should also cause you to lose your post and dismissal.
"You go and drive all those people away for me!" Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing and said directly: "If anyone doesn't leave, go to Zhaozhu together. Don't you want to be shot by the court? Then let them be beaten."
"I'm just trying to make a name for myself, and I'm blindly thinking about it!" Zhu Yijun's face was filled with anger, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Jing quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, I'll go now!" After that, he turned around and walked out.
Zhu Yijun looked at the autumn rain outside and reached out to close the window. The weather became colder and colder, and I am afraid that it would be colder and still have people's hearts. At this time, Zhang Juzheng should be so depressed, so distressed, and so at a loss.
No wonder Zhang Juzheng's temperament changed drastically after the love affair. He was completely different. If he were ordinary people, he would suffer from depression.
Zhang Juzheng's change was because he saw it clearly. He knew that he could not be recognized by everyone. Only by insisting on reforms would he not be accepted by himself no matter what. He would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame by them.
Walking back to the back of Longshu's case, Zhu Yijun picked up his pen and wrote a word: "名". Zhu Yijun sighed and said, "名名 is a knife on the head!"
Putting down the pen, Zhu Yijun stared at the word for a long time, and it was easy to say it, but when it really fell on his head, these people could bear it. Zhang Juzheng was just tolerating it, for the ideals and ambitions in his heart and for the country of Ming Dynasty.
The knife was so painful that it hurts, and it is probably bleeding.
When Zhang Jing came to the gate of Zhang Mansion, there were still many people here. Zhang Jing quickly walked to the steps of Zhang Mansion and said, "The Emperor has an order!"
With this sentence, the officials below instantly knelt on the ground.
"The emperor ordered that Mr. Zhang was mourning at home, and his filial piety was moving. You must disturb him for no reason. Let's all disperse!" Zhang Juzheng's eyes swept across everyone's faces: "I'm here!"
Chapter completed!
