The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

This matter was brought up just now, and someone immediately stood up to oppose it, but everyone already knew about it, but they would not be surprised, and Zhu Yijun faced these things that did not make him feel at ease. The performance was very stable, and he no longer opened his mouth to refute without hesitation as before. Even at this time, Zhu Yijun was very calm in his heart. After all, for him, even if the people below objected to this matter, No matter how many people there are, it is something that can be done, so he just needs to sit quietly on the dragon chair, look down, and move his mouth from time to time. If there is any problem, someone will naturally come to settle it. .

In fact, for Zhu Yijun, this matter is not what he most hopes to do, and no matter what the "Testing Method" is, for Zhu Yijun today, who is not yet powerful, the court It doesn't matter to him that the smoky atmosphere inside has nothing to do with him. Similarly, no matter how clear the court is, it will not make him feel very comfortable. The reason why he agrees to the "Testing Method" is that it is really a In addition to making things more efficient for the court and making people's lives more comfortable, there is another reason.

The above point is just Zhu Yijun's responsibility as an emperor. After all, although he is very lively by nature, he is also a very law-abiding person. All this is due to his grandfather, Emperor Jiajing. If it weren't for the suspicion of Emperor Jiajing in his later years, Zhu Zaihou would not have hidden Zhu Yijun so deeply, and the Li Caifeng back then would not have instilled some strict education in Zhu Yijun.

These have nothing to do with whether he is an emperor with real power in his hands. After all, as an emperor, he naturally has to shoulder the mission of an emperor, and he does not want to be a foolish emperor. Therefore, let a more superior way to There is nothing wrong with having this kind of thinking in managing the imperial court.

But there is another point, which is Zhu Yijun's personal resentment, because he is an emperor who has no power in his hands, even if others don't say it in front of him, but from his point of view, it seems that the ministers in the court are all Like laughing at him, of course, this may be nothing more than Zhu Yijun's hallucinations due to personal reasons, but in fact, the fact is exactly the same, there are really few ministers in the court who can think highly of Zhu Yijun, the son of the emperor, Zhu Yijun's "Ten Years of Revenge" statement last time is very illustrative.

As for this, Zhu Yijun also understands that Zhang Juzheng's "Testing Method" is not only beneficial to the country and the people, but more importantly, he understands very well that as long as the court really does it, it will Many ministers would feel uncomfortable, but whenever Zhu Yijun thought about it, he would feel very happy to see these people who were clearly devastated but still pretended that nothing had happened.

Apart from Zhu Yijun himself, Zhang Fan is probably the only person in the entire imperial court who understands this matter, and it is not because Zhu Yijun told him clearly, but because Zhang Fan has more contact with Zhu Yijun, from his daily life. In Zhang Fan's opinion, this may be because Zhu Yijun is still a child and is very sensitive to many things, or because this palace makes Zhu Yijun, who is only more than ten years old, Ripe early, twisted early.

However, Zhang Fan didn't intend to ask about this. As long as it can be done, Zhu Yijun can be regarded as letting out a sigh of relief in a way, and there will be no future troubles, as long as he enlightens him a little later. That's fine too.

In short, let's put these aside and continue to look at what is happening in the court today.

The first person to stand up and talk against the dialogue was Yu Menggui in the case of Hu Keyou. Many people actually had their own guesses that he would stand up. Of the two possibilities, one of them was correct. Although the other ministers didn't know about this point, Zhang Fan knew it clearly in his heart, and Zhang Fan also believed it, and Feng Bao knew why.

After all, the responsibility of the Sixth Division is to supervise the Sixth Division, and for the Sixth Division, because they are officials, although they are not flattering, they don't have much real power in their hands, so their supervision is not strict, but the court doesn't care about them. Just because they talk, doesn't mean that no one will ignore them. In fact, almost everyone who has graduated from the six subjects in the court is watching them very closely, even between them.

And Zhang Fan, as the second-ranked spy chief in the Ming Dynasty, this job is naturally something he has to worry about. For these people in the sixth department, whether it is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they will all be staring at them. , and recorded everything without omission. It is not necessary to catch them. Of course, it is best to have a handle.

And you don’t have to use it right away if you get the handle, then it’s meaningless, I’ve said it all, good steel should be used on the blade, and it’s the same for this matter, wait until you need to use them, and then tell the matter , wouldn't it be better.

Take Yu Menggui in front of him as an example. Others may still be guessing why he stood up, but Zhang Fan knew it clearly in his heart. It's not that Zhang Fan paid much attention to him. It's all due to his extraordinary memory, as long as he has seen something once, he will never forget it, and he will remember everything clearly.

This Yu Menggui actually stood up and spoke out for the sake of a few people. Although he is in the sixth subject, it is reasonable to say that people who can enter the sixth subject will have good conduct, but things are not that simple. It means that the road to promotion in the future is cut off. It's not that the sixth department has no future. It's because doing things in the sixth department will offend many people. Even if it is promoted to a higher position in the future, it will get rid of this speechless language The status of an official, but it will not last long.

Yu Menggui thought of this, so he also started to plan for himself. Of course, he is not a big treacherous person. This point is very good at playing, rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest, he doesn't play with these officials in the capital, but looks for officials from other places.

As far as Zhang Fan knows, this Yu Menggui has such contacts with many officials from other places, such as Fengyang governor Wang Zongmu, patrol inspector Zhang Genghua, Guangdong inspector Zhang Shouyue, etc. These are not very powerful in the eyes of Beijing officials. , but they are people who can dominate in the local area, and Yu Menggui has some contacts with them.

But now, even if Zhang Fan knew about it, he didn't plan to take this muddy water. It wasn't that he didn't care about this matter, but that he had already been told by Feng Bao not to ask about it. Zhang Fan didn't know what Feng Bao's plan was, but he also knew that Feng Bao would not mess up this matter, so he was ready to watch from the sidelines.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help turning his head to look at Feng Bao who was standing next to the dragon chair. At this time, Zhang Fan happened to see Feng Bao winking at a little eunuch standing far away, and immediately, the little eunuch turned around. After leaving, Zhang Fan saw this, and naturally understood what Feng Bao asked him to do. After all, Feng Bao did not have Zhang Fan's extraordinary memory, and it was impossible to remember everything he had seen clearly. , at this time, he must have asked the little eunuch just now to find the file about Yu Menggui, and the trick was to be used in such a place.

But Zhang Fan didn't want to ask what Feng Bao was going to do, and now he was waiting to see who would stand up and speak out.

Sure enough, these people were destined not to disappoint anyone today. Yu Menggui had just stood up, and then someone else stood up.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that this matter is very inappropriate," said Wu Wenjia, who stood up to speak.

Just now it was okay for Yu Menggui to stand up and speak, but now Wu Wenjia is really interesting when he stands up, although as the saying goes, there are only two people who die now, but it is these two people, It's also really interesting.

If there is anything in common between these two people, there is only one thing. They are both officials of the six departments. This point makes people think about why it is not someone else who speaks out first this time, but these people are not the same. What kind of six officials with real power?

The reason is actually very simple, because these people are officials. As long as the officials speak, they can't be held accountable as long as they are reasonable, and sometimes even if they are not reasonable, they still want to say it. Back then, when Zhu Yuanzhang came up with these six subjects, The original intention was to supervise the Six Departments so that the court could be in order, but I never thought that these people would be fearless. There was nothing they could do. Although they were so angry that they wanted to kill people, they also understood that these people couldn't be killed.

But now, these people have stood up to speak out again, and they dare to speak regardless of whether Zhu Yijun is in power now. Of course, if it is for the benefit of the public, it will be a different matter.

"Aiqing has something to say, but it's okay to say it," Zhu Yijun saw another one standing up, and naturally he would not stop him, said.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court's laws and regulations are determined by the ancestors," Wu Wenjia said, "Now, I also understand that Mr. Zhang's words are good intentions, but if the imperial court uses this "examination method", it will not be true." And where to put the ancestral regulations, "

This one is different from the previous one, and he doesn't speak so tactfully, he just goes straight to the point. Moreover, Wu Wenjia's opening is to use the big hat of "ancestral law" to put it down, which is really embarrassing. refute.

The opposition of these two styles is now appearing in this hall at the same time. It seems that this early court today is still worthy of it.
