Wanli Xinming

Chapter 161 Dissent
When Zhu Yijun heard Chen Ju talk about Liu Tai again, he took over Liu Tai's memorial and read it. It was a thick book, and it seemed that there were really [-] words.Looking at the contents, it is true that the attack on Zhang Ju is true, and there is also a secret attack on Zhu Yijun for changing the ancestral system:

"Loyal ministers are not selfish, private ministers are disloyal. In the first year of Wanli, the minister was recommended by Juzheng and awarded the imperial censor, but in the end, we should not recommend the selfishness and forget the righteousness of the king and his father." First of all, I explained that although I, Liu Tai, depended on Zhang Juzheng for promotion, but The stab at him was out of righteousness.

"In the past, the case of Minister Wang was falsely accused of even Gao Gong. Fu Gao Gong, who is in power, has not heard of it. The public discussion borrowing is unfair. If the husband chases him and falsely accuses him, the prime minister is prestige; and if he keeps it privately, the prime minister is blessed. What is the law of the ancestors?"

At the beginning of the chapter, Liu Tai throws out the case of Minister Wang, focusing on Zhang Juzheng's lack of distinction between public and private, and alluding to his desire to be a 'slaughterer'.He then went on to attack Zhang Juzheng under the guise of the emperor's prestige, and he said to himself: "This edict is very strict. This is a person who is more afraid of Juzheng than his Majesty. Guo Wenye, Juzheng said: 'How much effort I have to make to do this.' Because people dare not not thank him first, this is a person who embraces Juzheng more than his Majesty. The way of the ancestors If so?"

This blatant alienation between Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng is more than ten times more obvious than that of Yu Mao's study of "The Duke of Zhou's merits are solid and he should be a courtier".

"According to the statute, Chen Zhang's memorial examination is completed, and the provincial government publishes two volumes every two seasons, one for the cabinet and one for the department. If the court is delayed, the ministry will cite it; if the ministry is concealed, the imperial examination will be done; the department will be concealed. , The cabinet ministers have no printed letters, but the office of the imperial government is to prepare consultants, not to invade political affairs, the law of the ancestors. Juzheng created this system, but it is just a coercion of the department, always listening to one's own orders. For example, the prime minister of the cabinet. Minister', advisor? Chancellor? This is how the ancestors' law should be?"

Finally, I saw that Zhang Juzheng was in the cabinet, which restrained the officials to control the ministers, and violated the law of his ancestors. Zhang Juzheng wanted to add the title of "Cabinet Prime Minister". His heart is clear, 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, he assigned the government road, and falsely accused the King of Liao as a serious crime. Now the King of Wugang is discussing the crime again." The King of Liao's case was a major case in the second year of Longqing. , King Liao exterminated the vassal and the country with thirteen major crimes, and Liu Tai was the first to overturn the case for him.

When Emperor Wanli of the original time and space liquidated Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng's first major crime in the "Liao King Case" - when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was revising the history of the Ming Dynasty, actually put this shit basin on Zhang Juzheng's head.

In fact, the crime of King Liao has long been concluded in the "Records of Conquest of the State", because he did not wear mourning clothes and did not sacrifice for sacrifices during the death of Emperor Sejong, and was reported by the Jinyiwei.When Mu Zong heard the news, he was furious, and sent Jin Yiwei Cheng Yaoxiang and the Minister of Punishment Minister Hong Chaoxuan to find out his thirteen major crimes such as murder and exceeding the system.Because King Liao was in Zhang Juzheng's hometown of Jingzhou, the residence of the palace was later bought by Zhang Juzheng's family.

The second charge that Liu Tai gave Zhang Juzheng was: "It's not long after entering the pavilion, but the wealth and crown are all in Chu, what's the point? The palace is surrounded by horses, and the wives and concubines are enshrined in the royal family, just like a prince, what is the reason for offering it?" I can't say that he was wrong. Zhu Yijun knew that Zhang Juzheng was similar to his teacher, not to mention the second brother, but the emperor admitted it.

The third offense is terrifying: "Juzheng's greed is not in the civil servants but in the military officials, not in the belly but in the sidelines." - The bribe of Zhang Juzheng by Li Chengliang, Qi Jiguang and other frontier officials was revealed, implying that he was not a minister heart of.

In addition to these, Liu Tai also accused Zhang Juzheng of "assisting the government" and other crimes. The last one directly refers to the decree issued by the emperor before - "To use the emperor's prestige for his own use, and to be titled 'the prime minister of the cabinet', Isn't that what Zhang Juzheng intended?"

After criticizing Zhang Juzheng both inside and out, 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's easy to remonstrate with people's masters, but it's difficult to talk about ministers. But for ministers, every time they hear people's words, they use the favor of the people's masters to arouse the people's master's anger, or slander, or call them traitors, or they say Resentment, or blame one person and be wary of the others, or even the people who are sullen and then the villains rise up and join the party, saying that the calamity of officials will be more severe, the evil of ministers will be beneficial, and the world's state affairs are over. For today's mirror!"

After reading the long memorial, Zhu Yijun let out a long sigh and said to Chen Ju, "Well, the bamboo brush is like a knife, piercing the bones! What do you think?"

Chen Ju listened and pondered for a while, then Fang replied: "Your Majesty, with the knowledge of a minister, this Liu Tai said that adding the title of 'Cabinet Prime Minister' was Zhang Juzheng's proposition, did he not understand the emperor's desire to reform the law? I understand that I pretend to be confused and want to practice the method of drawing wages from the bottom of the pot."

Zhu Yijun listened and sneered: "You are right. Look at this sentence: 'Better than Wang Anshi's assistant government', the fox's tail has been exposed! Zhang Juzheng is not in office, he Liu Tai can do it?!"

After pondering for a while, he instructed: "This edict is good, the team can be clearly distinguished at once - pass my will, Jin Yiwei will arrest Liu Tai and Fu Yingzhen, and send it to the Zhenfu Secretary Haosheng to ask questions!"

Chen Ju heard this decree and knew that it was the right thing to do, so he hurriedly accepted the decree.Zhu Yijun pondered for a while and said, "Did Zhang Juzheng not have a copy?"

Chen Ju touched his sleeve and said, "The emperor's expectations are as good as God, and Zhang Juzheng firmly resigned from the appointment."

When Zhu Yijun took it to look at it, he wrote thousands of words, the most important one being "The minister is sparse in academics, shallow in conduct, and he pays for it day and night, but his words and sentences are coarse; Exhausted, performance goes unheard."

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Well, the old gentleman still understands my thoughts. Copy this biography of the memorial, and show it to everyone who has made the memorial to see if they are ashamed!"

Chen Ju listened with a smile on his face and said, "Zhang Juzheng also has the intention of letting the emperor decide for him. These three words and three concessions are well done."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "Well, if it's not like this, he won't be able to establish his authority, and the person who leads the reform will not be able to do so without authority. - Liu Tai's record is up, and Zhang Juzheng will resign tomorrow. I want to make the decision for him, but also Be solid."

"Didn't Liu Tai say that I should 'criminalize one person and be vigilant against the rest, or even use others to prevent future generations'? I will not punish one person, and pass on my oral order to order the remaining 37 people to come to Huangji Hall tomorrow and directly Talk to me, if you can't tell the reason, you will be held accountable!"

When Chen Ju heard this, the sweat on his forehead came down again, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, the minister said something that shouldn't be said. The two ministers and these people have all been cleared out of the court, and the court has really become a 'one-word court'!"

Seeing that Zhu Yijun didn't answer the question, Chen Ju continued: "So far, there has been no copy of Kedao, which shows the power of the cabinet's restraint - the emperor must not be careless."

Zhu Yijun heard this, with a smile that was not a smile on his face, and said, "You said that Zhang Juzheng restrained Ke Dao? Can he rely on Ke Dao to rebel?"

Chen Ju listened, sweating more on his face, and said with a wry smile: "In today's world, how can there be people who rebel. I am afraid that after the court's words, the words will be blocked, and the emperor will not be able to control the overall situation."

Zhu Yijun listened, pondered for a while and said: "I see the success or failure of the ancient and modern reforms, all in the four words 'disturbance of different opinions'! Therefore, if there is no party dispute in the Song Dynasty, can the Jin Kingdom be destroyed? What I have done in the past few years Newspapers, articles, and precepts and deeds in the attendant's room, if you can't cultivate a group of reform officials, it will be a failure—there are thousands of officials in the court, and there are only 39 people, and I can afford to lose."

"Once the reform is launched, it will be like a thunderbolt, and it will go all the way. If I have the heart to stir up dissent, the reform will be defeated. As for the hidden dissidents, it is still the same sentence, 'look at things and not at heart', I don't care what they think - just do the reform thing, if you can't do it, you will be dismissed from office; if you do it well, even if you are a die-hard anti-reformist, I will still reward you!"

Chen Ju listened, his lips moved slightly, and he wanted to persuade again, but he stopped talking.In order to reassure him, Zhu Yijun finally gave the bottom line: "I just read Fu Yingzhen's inscription, I thought that everyone in the cabinet was in the same party as Zhang Juzheng, and said that the signs were not good. After reading Liu Tai's inscription, I will be relieved. ——Half of the people in Kedao belong to Wang Guoguang and Zhang Siwei. For the remaining half, Lu Tiaoyang has a few others, and they are all watching the wind direction—— Without their advice, this group, um, can’t bite stand up!"

After a pause, he said: "Ge Shouli is very sick, let the medical school." Just about to say to send two people to see Ge Shouli, then he said: "Forget it, he is too old, you go there, Let him beg for bones. This time, I will agree!"

　Throwing up questions for everyone to discuss, is it better to open up the banner to reform the law, or to make a fortune in silence and change it slowly?
