Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 567: Cheating Party
Zhang Juzheng was inescapable in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. Even though Zhang Juzheng had passed away for a long time, the Ming Dynasty was still affected by his politics.

The reason why few people mention Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty officialdom nowadays has a lot to do with Emperor Wanli's identification of Zhang Juzheng.

A courtier of the Ming Dynasty who was active in the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli dynasties, and promoted reforms in the early days of the Wanli Dynasty, which made the young Wanli Emperor respect and fear him. I am afraid it is also very rare in the Ming Dynasty. The key is Zhang Juzheng's implementation The new law also made countless civil servants and the people behind it feel hated!

For such a complex person, only Hai Rui could keep pace with him at the same time.

Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui can be said to be two ultimate representatives. Even though they belong to the same period, they did not have too many direct interactions. However, their fates are subtly connected. One is rational. A pragmatic reformer, and the other a radical and stubborn idealist. They took two completely different paths, but both of them walked through their lives firmly.

Any king who has his own opinion and character would probably have a mixture of love and hate towards the two of them. Only this complex emotion can reflect the unusualness of the two of them!
Zhu Youxiao sometimes wonders, if there were such two existences in Tianqi Dynasty, what kind of situation would Ming Dynasty be in?

"Have Fang Xiaoru's descendants come to Beijing?"

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the outer court, Zhu Youxiao, who lived in the Forbidden City, once again moved out of Qianqing Palace and moved to Xiyuan to recuperate.

If you really think about it carefully, Zhu Youxiao didn't seem to live in Xiyuan Palace as long as he lived in Qianqing Palace. Although the Forbidden City was very grand, after staying here for a long time, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was too depressing. On the contrary, living in Xiyuan allowed him to relax both physically and mentally.

Xiyuan.

Diaoyutai.

Zhu Youxiao was sitting on the recliner, looking at Queen Zhang Yan and several concubines in the harem who were boating in Taiye Pool, Zhu Youxiao had a faint smile on his face.

Being drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman, waking up and taking over the world is what many people dream of.

For Zhu Youxiao, his life should not only be about government affairs, but also his own life. This time he moved to Xiyuan to recuperate, and Zhu Youxiao took all the concubines from the harem with him.

It's just that after relaxing, there are still some matters that should be dealt with. Relaxation does not mean slacking off. Failure often starts from slacking off.

"Your Majesty, Fang Xiaoru's 10th grandson Fang Zhongyi has arrived in Beijing." Liu Chao, the admiral of the Grand Imperial Factory, bowed his head respectfully and stepped forward to bow to his emperor.

"It's good that you're here. There are some things that should come to light again."

Zhu Youxiao showed a bit of sadness, looking at the blue sky in front of him, with a few birds flying from time to time, and said in a calm tone: "If these things are not solved well, then the changes in the Ming Dynasty will be incomplete. What's going on with Wen Tiren now? "

"Your Majesty, Wen Tiren has stopped bathing."

Liu Chao lowered his head and said, "It is said that he was ill, so he rested in his house."

"ridiculous!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, "I've been sick for a long time, but I've been sick for a long time. But I got sick after receiving the memorial. It's not obvious that I was afraid."

Liu Chao lowered his head and said nothing.

Liu Chao knew some things about what his emperor was going to do, but it was only these things that made Liu Chao shocked and afraid. After all, to vindicate Zhang Juzheng, doesn't this mean to overturn the conclusion of Emperor Shenzong Xian? Isn’t this denying something about the Wanli Dynasty?
"Arrange someone to ask Fang Zhongyi to submit a letter to Fu Que to avenge his ancestor."

When Liu Chao was thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao leaned forward and said calmly: "The Ming Dynasty cannot be without a model of loyalty, and Fang Xiaoru is good. Setting up such a model will be good for the Ming Dynasty."

"The servant understands."

Liu Chao immediately bowed.

Since Wen Tiren is here to do this, Zhu Youxiao doesn't mind adding more spices, but Zhu Youxiao doesn't believe it. If Fang Xiaoru's descendants come to Beijing to cause trouble, the calculating Wen Tiren will still pretend to be a coward.

In the Tianqi Dynasty, in addition to the various parties and factions active in the center, there were also many other groups, but their limelight was not that big.

But the sinister Zhu Youxiao didn't mind pulling these people up in advance. Since everyone likes to be partisan and opposed to dissidents, let's have a good time.

As long as the party struggle at the central level can maintain checks and balances and can be fought without breaking, then Zhu Youxiao does not mind this phenomenon.

Zhu Youxiao thinks it's good to let empty talkers who are ruining the country gather together and let them fight and compete with each other. At the same time, let the practical people who want to do practical things go to shine in various fields.

As long as the internal funds do not collapse, Zhu Youxiao will be unafraid of any challenge!

"Also, keep an eye on Wen Tiren!"

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "This matter must be done by Dali Temple. If Wen Tiren has private contact with anyone while he is recuperating in the mansion, he will report it to the imperial court as soon as possible."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Liu Chao paid his respects again.

Although the Liu Dynasty could not figure out what his prince was thinking, the Liu Dynasty did know that under the current situation of the court, if Fang Zhongyi wrote a letter to Fuque to avenge his ancestor Fang Xiaoru, what kind of turmoil would be caused in the court .

And if Wen Tiren is wise enough to bring Zhang Juzheng's matter to the world's attention, it will further promote the situation. The impact of these two incidents can even be on par with that of Duke Yansheng.

After all, whether it is Zhang Juzheng or Fang Xiaoru, no matter whether they are controversial or not, what they do is to demonstrate the solid teachings of Confucianism through practical actions.

'Since it is reform, it cannot lack a big banner. '

Looking at the Taiye Pool in front of him, Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "I just want everyone to think that what happened before and after is the new law I am implementing, and Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation is a landmark turning point." , this can be regarded as blowing a horn. '

'Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng, I didn't expect that you could still do your part for the Ming Dynasty after so many years of death. However, the things you want to accomplish but have not been able to accomplish will be accomplished in my hands. Perhaps the class cannot Even if it is banned, privileges can be suppressed. If there is no control over privileges, then the laws enacted will be the biggest joke in the world, and the country will never be reliable! '

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao stood up and walked towards Taiye Pond. The breeze blew slowly on Zhu Youxiao's face. It felt very refreshing. Looking at the concubines who were boating, Zhu Youxiao There was a faint smile on his face. The harem was no longer like before. It might be thoughtful, but it didn't smell like gunpowder. Zhu Youxiao felt that all this was good.
