Wanli Xinming

Chapter 163 Flag ([-])

After Wang Xilie finished saying this, he bowed his head and exchanged tears and tears: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others all know the meaning of the Emperor's reforms! However, whoever makes remarks regardless of their six-foot body, is it for the benefit of the ministers and others? Zhang Juzheng and other cabinet ministers. Speaking flatteringly, the queen mother wants to take full power after retiring, and is the 'premier minister', isn't it a reunion?"

"Taizu has a saying, 'Anyone who has a chance to establish a prime minister will be executed.' The minister does not know who will shake the king's heart. In the opinion of the minister, the emperor should execute him to thank the world!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun took over the conversation and said, "Well, no one has told me about the 'Cabinet Prime Minister', just like walking in the inner court and court ministers, it's my idea, according to your opinion, what do I want to do? Thank you for the law?"

When Wang Xilie heard the emperor's words, his face was ashen, and he fell to the ground, sobbing and unable to speak.

Zhang Han, the minister of officials next to him, came out, knelt beside Wang Xilie and said: "If you can get the minister of officials, it will help Zhang Jiang's court. In just a few years, his party members spread all over the world-everyone of the same age, students, and township parties, I don't know how many people they asked for, and if they rebelled a little, the minister was scolded. What is the difference between the emperor's own use of power and blessings and Yan Song during the reign of King Sejong?"

Zhang Han stabbed the knife deeply and ruthlessly, which opened the eyes of the courtiers who did not know the inside story. It turned out that his own people cut his own talents. Zhang Juzheng is counted here, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist.

Zhang Han's betrayal completely angered Yin Zhengmao, who held the rank of Minister of Military Affairs and was the head of the Department of Martial Arts.When Yin Zhengmao heard Zhang Han's bloody spit, he came out angrily and said, "Zhang Tianguan, don't be secretive, let's talk, who did Zhang Juzheng recommend to you? Some of these people are incompetent - you give an assessment. It's the best!"

Zhang Han didn't expect Yin Zhengmao's counterattack to be so tricky, he opened his mouth for a while, but couldn't answer.

Wan Shihe, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, went out and said, "The imperial censors and Kedao are mostly Yuan auxiliary minions. These people are in charge of the Beijing and foreign inspections. Can't Zhang Juzheng's party members get an 'excellent'? Professor Yin's words are bad! "When saying the word "professor", Wan Shihe also added an accent, which was quite joking.Because in the folk, the tea seller is called Dr. Cha, and the poor teaching is generally called a professor. In martial arts and medical schools, Zhu Yijun collectively referred to teachers as professors, and he was laughed at by Qingliu for a long time.

Yin Zhengmao was also annoyed by Wan Shihe, knelt down and said to Zhu Yijun: "My minister Yin Zhengmao participated in the impeachment of Wan Shihe and criticized the code of the imperial court's capital and foreign inspections, and the intention of chaotic politics is clear, please the emperor to deal with his crime of madness!"

Zhu Yijun listened to them attacking each other with a sullen face, but he made a bad comment on Yin Zhengmao in his heart - if you can't do it, you can find the parents, your level is not good.

Seeing the real battle for the dynasty, all the officials in the hall were terrified.If things go wrong at this time, there will be party disputes in the Song Dynasty.And whether you stand in the right or not is not only a question of conscience, but more importantly, you must ask the family standing behind you, whether your parents, wife and children can stand up to failure!

Seeing that Yin Zhengmao was no match for Wan Shihe, Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and saluted the emperor first, and then said: "Your Majesty, when you were a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing, you have been engaged in military affairs for 30 years. Fighting! Now I have a question to ask Wan Shilang—what is fighting?"

Wan Shihe listened and said: "I know the meaning of Tan's Ministry of War, and now it has spread from martial arts, and it has spread all over the world - the war is about grain and grass logistics! Then there is a rhetorical question below. This spring, the imperial court sent troops to conquer Burma, at that time. No change - are these soldiers hungry or frozen?"

When Tan Lun heard this, he thought to himself that you were really taken into the ditch by me.So his teammate Chen Zan, the minister of the Ministry of Housing, came out, and the antelope's knife with its horns cut off Wan Shi and the back road:

"Wan Shilang is wrong! The military expenses in Burma are from the emperor's own money! It's only spring now, and half of the treasury has been spent. In the past few years, without the emperor's inner money to help, the court has long been unable to open the pot!"

After hearing this, Wan Shihe was suffocated.But he has always been quick-witted, so he quibbled: "If you don't work in Huanghuai Daxing, how can the court have no money? In the fourth year of Wanli, the court's income, grain and rice combined exceeded 700 million—more than the first year of Wanli and the previous emperor. The time is almost doubled! If you can rest with the people, the world will be in order!"

All the officials in the court heard Wan Shihe's sophistry, and all those who didn't read and read would find that he was already at a loss for words and was messing around.Seeing that the two sides were about to decide the winner and the loser, and the highest position on the side who opposed the reform, Minister Lu Shusheng also spoke out.

He ignored the mutual attacks between Tan Lun and Wan Shihe, and directly knelt down in the front row and said: "Your Majesty, I have proposed to the Emperor a 24-character strategy such as 'following the old chapters, saving memorials, carefully rewarding and punishing, and preventing obstruction'." , was also fortunate to be accepted by the emperor. In recent years, the emperor has overthrown all the policies of his ministers. He does not follow the old rules and has the intention of reforming. The honor rewards, arresting and plundering officials in order to obstruct them, the above are deeply deplored by the ministers. And why is the emperor doing this?"

Lu Shusheng won the Huiyuan in the 20th year of Jiajing, and after being a Jinshi, he was selected as a good scholar. Since then, he was elected as one of the leaders of Qingliu by scholars because of his filial piety and literary level.During his tenure as minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Juzheng repeatedly tried to recommend Lu Shusheng to the cabinet, but was firmly rejected by him.

Lu Shusheng did not fight for the position of Minister of Rites, and his prestige and status in the court were extremely high.Moreover, it is not an exaggeration to say that the 20-year-old Shuji was born in Jiajing, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world.

If Lu Shusheng challenged Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng would never dare to ignore it.But today Zhang Ju is waiting for investigation at home, so Lu Shangshu's firepower is concentrated on the emperor.

After Zhu Yijun heard this, it was really hard to answer. At that time, Lu Shangshu was writing a letter to teach Zhu Yijun how to be the emperor.In order to disguise himself, Zhu Yijun pretended to praise Lu Shangshu.

Sure enough, he had to eat the fruit he planted himself. Now that Zhu Yijun, who was the reformed emperor, was exposed, he really couldn't answer Lu Lao Shangshu's question.

But Lu Shusheng was very kind and didn't expect the emperor to answer his questions.He just knelt there quietly, bent down and said: "I have been the minister of the Ministry of Rites in the sixth year of Longqing, and it has been more than five years now. I used to be a historian and stayed away from the court for 20 years. The emperor added me with the grace of the country, but let me It's just one more rice worm in the court. Since the emperor has the intention of reform, I beg you to go."

After speaking, he knocked his head down on the ground, and tears welled in his cloudy eyes. Lu Shusheng choked and said, "After the minister leaves, I hope that the emperor will use his servants to clean it up from time to time, but it is inevitable to prevent the fall of power; Instead of insatiable demands, it is imperative.”

It stands to reason that it is not etiquette for him to leave such a large set of farewell messages without the consent of the emperor for his resignation.However, Lu Shusheng had no desire for official positions, and had long ignored life and death. This time Zhang Zhi was even more powerful than Wan Shihe and Zhang Han's attacks.

He resigned directly to tell the emperor that there are fewer and fewer upright and honest people around you who don't ask for high-ranking officials - and every more official who dares to ask for it, the emperor's heart will be more afraid, because Lu Shusheng believes that every The emperor needs to have upright people in the court!

Sure enough, as soon as he finished his parting words, Wang Xilie, Wan Shihe, Zhang Han and other 37 people who opposed the emperor's first imperial edict knelt down together and said: "I beg you to go, please allow the emperor!"

　Nothing to say, two more.
