Editing of the ten loyal ministers and the emperors standing up

Chapter 119 The first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, half a saint

above the sky,

The voice-over came:
[Mu Zong of the Ming Dynasty died after only six years in office. The Ming Dynasty once again worsened the situation. The political struggle became more and more severe. The leader and the country were doubtful, and the Ming Dynasty once again fell into civil strife. 】

In a separate courtyard of the capital, an official in blue robe knelt on the ground and said:
"Sir, Chief Minister Gao is hated by Empress Dowager Li for speaking out. Feng Dagang asked me to give you a message. Your Majesty will remove him today and allow him to return to his official position and go home!"

"understood!"

Zhang Juzheng, who was wearing an ordinary gown, spoke calmly. There was a boy next to him holding a tray high, with a red official robe inside.

Zhang Juzheng looked back calmly, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said:
"From today on, this Ming Dynasty should also have my voice!"

Later, he wrote in a memorial to Emperor Wanli:

"Through this, the country will be enriched and the people will be enriched, etiquette and righteousness will be established, education will be enlightened, and the barbarians will be harmonized, so as to establish peace for all ages. The sincerity of the people will be comparable to what I have done today."

Zhang Juzheng was not a traditional Confucian scholar-official, unconventional and adaptable.

He is an outstanding politician who is results-oriented in everything he does. He is a person with lofty political ideals and life ambitions.

As the emperor's teacher, he would personally draw the "Emperor's Illustration" for Wanli, recording 81 good deeds and 36 bad deeds of ancient emperors, in order to educate the young emperor.

As the first assistant, he must remove all obstacles, serve the reform, and fight against all opinions to realize his long-cherished wish of saving the country and governing the world.

For this reason, Zhang Juzheng will flexibly use all means, even if he joins forces with the eunuch Feng Bao, to drive Gao Gong off the altar.

A voice-over came from the sky screen:

[In 1573, the first year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng was 48 years old. The glory of the Ming Dynasty he wrote began. In this year, he became the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty! 】

Clean up the palace,

A pair of master and disciple sit opposite each other. Although they are monarchs and ministers, they are no less important than father and son. It's just that the father is stricter, but the son has his own ideas.

The young Emperor Wanli could not hide his emotions very well, so he only looked at his teacher Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng slowly said:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Gao Ge has just taken office, and the cabinet is short of manpower. I am somewhat unable to do what I want. I would like to ask your Majesty to select some talented people to assist you."

Emperor Wanli smiled and said:
"Sir, as the saying goes, you don't need to be married to be a good person. I'm still young and I don't understand things, so I need the teacher to share the burden for me. Can the teacher recommend someone?"

Zhang Juzheng said seriously:

"Lu Tiaoyang, the second-place finisher in Jiajing in 29 years, can be of great use!"

Zhang Juzheng didn't talk nonsense, he just summed it up in three words "can be of great use". Emperor Wanli naturally agreed from the bottom of his heart and said:
"But, everything depends on Yuan Fu!"

Later, Zhang Juzheng said:
"Your Majesty, I have learned that the expenses in the palace have been somewhat exceeded recently. If the superiors do something good, the subordinates will follow suit. How can your Majesty take care of yourself alone?

In order to prevent our Ming Dynasty from becoming extravagant, I ask Your Majesty to be diligent and frugal in managing the household and not to be extravagant or wasteful. "

The little Wanli Emperor admitted his mistake and said:

"Okay, sir, I know I was wrong and I will correct it now!"

"it is good……"

Zhang Juzheng nodded with satisfaction, not realizing that there was a trace of hostility hidden in the disciple's privately evasive eyes.

Historically, the situation of the master's young country's suspicion was often extremely dangerous. After the death of Chai Rong, Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty,

Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of the fact that Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Zongxun, was only seven years old, launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, and then replaced the Later Zhou Dynasty to establish the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Perhaps it was Zhang Juzheng's eagerness for treatment that made him teach Ming Shenzong too harshly.

Take Zhang Juzheng's teaching of Ming Shenzong's reading as an example: Once Ming Shenzong mispronounced a word when he was reading, Zhang Juzheng immediately corrected it loudly. The teenage Ming Shenzong was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Da Qin. "Young master, I wonder how this Juzheng looks like Lu Buwei back then? I have been waiting for many years when I came to take charge.
Fusu, study hard! "

Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Juzheng and couldn't help but think of Lu Buwei. How similar was their relationship to the two people on the sky curtain?
He also clearly saw the resentment in Emperor Wanli's eyes. Because he felt the same, he suddenly realized,
Maybe the end of Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, was not good, and in the end, the father and son turned against each other.

Datang.

Emperor Taizong Li Shimin looked at his son Li Chengqian and whispered to Empress Changsun:
"Guanyin Maid, are we too tolerant to our son? We should find a strict teacher to teach him well!"

Li Chengqian:? ? ?Why did this fire reach me?
Big man.

Liu Bei cupped his hands towards Zhuge Liang and said:

"Sir, how much more trouble does the prince need to trouble you with?"

Zhuge Liang returned the gesture and said with a smile:

"The prince is the future of my great man. How dare I not teach him with all my heart? Your Majesty, don't worry, I will guard him."

Zhuge Liang's words seemed to have magic power, and Liu Bei immediately felt relieved and nodded with satisfaction.

Hongwu Dynasty of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and said:

"We only see this man fighting for power. Apart from appeasing Mongolia, he seems to have no ability? How can this man be compared with Prime Minister Zhuge?"

Prince Zhu Biao quickly said:

"Father, the last emperor passed away after reigning for only a few years. The Ming Dynasty was in a period of doubts about its young master.
Although there are rules set by you, it is almost impossible for these ministers to rebel, but the little emperor is really unbearable, and it is inevitable that the emperor will be replaced!
In the eyes of Erchen, it was a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have a tough Ming Prime Minister to help the young emperor handle government affairs! "

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had carried such a thousand dollars on his back, was much less angry, but he still said a little unconvinced:

"Okay, then let's bear with it. Let's see if he can get things done. It's not enough to just deal with one Mongolian. Such a big country still needs to be governed. It depends on whether Zhang Juzheng is the right one! "

above the sky,

"Sir, Qi Jiguang, the commander of the Dengzhou Guards, sent two beauties and countless gold and silver treasures!"

"Qi Jiguang? I seem to have heard of this person's name."

"Replying to your lord, this person has a small reputation in Ningbo and has made many meritorious deeds. However, he has no backing and has been depressed. This is the letter he entrusted to send to your lord."

I saw the cover of the letter clearly written:

"My lackey, little Qi!"

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile:

"Okay, then accept them all. The beauty is also sent to my room. I want to see it. How beautiful is it?"

Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang are actually not good officials in the strict sense.

Qi Jiguang was originally just a hereditary commander of the Dengzhou Guard. Although he had made great achievements in fighting the Japanese, his official career was not outstanding.When the soldiers under Qi Jiguang gave him money, he accepted it in full. In order to get promoted, Qi Jiguang never hesitated to give money to his superiors.

Above the sky, a voice came:
[In the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng selected Lu Tiaoyang, who was ranked second in the 29th year of Jiajing, as his deputy, and used Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang for military preparation.

Wang Guoguang, a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing, was appointed as Minister of Finance, and Wang Zhihao was promoted to Minister of Punishment.

As a result, Zhang Juzheng's leadership team has been formed, fully grasping the three major elements of a country's military, finance, and justice. 】
