little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 14
We all know that Wanli was very diligent in the first ten years of his ascension to the throne, and it was not until later that everyone knew the truth.It turned out that it wasn't that the emperor had any lofty ambitions for the country and the people to realize, but that his goal was to defeat one person, and everyone on the earth knew that this person was Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng is an out-and-out ruthless person. During his leadership for more than ten years, the competition between the cabinet and the imperial power has no weight at all.The cabinet is in full swing, and the imperial power is bleak.To put it bluntly, if Zhang Juzheng presided over the cabinet for ten years, Lao Zhang was the emperor!

Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish.Lao Zhang interpreted these eight-character leadership concepts vividly and vividly during his ruling period, reaching the point where it is universally applicable.Its scope is so vast that it cannot be added, from the little emperor Wanli to the civil and military officials.

Poor Emperor Wanli lived with Long Qing in a precarious and fearful life when he was young.After finally becoming the emperor, I didn't expect it to be worse than before.Under such a high-pressure rule, it is difficult to move forward, and it has been more than ten years.One can imagine how big Wanli's heart is, and how deep the hatred is.

After Wanli stood up and became the master of the family, the first thing he did was to slash the revenge knife against Zhang Juzheng without hesitation.However, the system of cabinet management in the Ming Dynasty greatly weakened the imperial power.Most of the ministers in the DPRK and China listen to the cabinet, and the cabinet has the final say.In the hands of the emperor, there are basically no people who can really use it. Under such special circumstances, the spring of speech officials has come.

There are probably three kinds of officials in the Ming Dynasty.One is a civil servant, one is a military officer, and the other is a speech officer.The civil servant governs the government, and the military officer Anbang.But this eloquent officer... a good eloquent officer is to observe the wind and correct mistakes, punish corruption and cure corruption.But the bad speaker said it was a group of biting dogs.

The officials have no real power in their hands, all they can do is to keep filing complaints until you are annoyed and convinced.The Jiajing Dynasty was lucky, and had Hai Rui, Zou Yinglong and other famous censors, but the officials of Wanli's dynasty were mostly people who vented their personal grievances.

In good conscience, although Zhang Juzheng is strong and domineering, he is a man of great ability in doing things. It may be that no matter in which dynasty he is able to do things, he will inevitably offend others, and if he offends others, he will be bitten by a dog. I don't like this group of officials who just bite people and don't do anything.

According to Lao Zhang's mantra of governance, the consequence of not liking it is to beat you until you are obedient and honest. Therefore, during Master Zhang's reign, most of the hard-headed and stupid officials were beaten to death, leaving a few The living are also dying, and they behave honestly with their tails between their legs.This situation lasted until Zhang Juzheng's downfall, and the court officials were almost dead.

In view of this, Emperor Wanli finally did something that he regretted in the future: liberate Yanguan!
The eloquent officials are quite powerful, because they have the same sad experience of being oppressed as Wanli, and in order to repay the emperor's kindness, the liberated eloquent officials have exhausted all their energy and tried their best to spit on stars. Like a violent storm, shocking waves were set off above the court hall.As he wished, Zhang Juzheng was killed, stinked and resigned, and Emperor Wanli was very satisfied.

But all of this fell into Shen Shixing's eyes, and as the current chief minister of the cabinet, he didn't say anything.

Late at night in the autumn of the 15th year of Wanli, the lamps in Shen's study were brightly lit.The housekeeper, Shen Zhong, stood by the door with his hands down, waiting for the master to finish his official duties.But looking up at the hour, the master is probably staying up late again.Shen Zhong had a look of helplessness on his face.

At this moment, Shen Shixing was staring at a memorial on the case and remained silent.Zhezi is a joint name of three people.The leader is Jiang Dongzhi, Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.In short, he is a horse breeder, which is equivalent to Bi Mawen, who Sun Houzi did back then, and is also a deputy.Li Zhi, the Shaoqing of Taipusi, is a fat job, and he is in charge of inviting meals.Yang Keli, Shaoqing of Shangbaosi, is in charge of official documents, in today's terms, in charge of filing.

These three are all speech officials. Although the current officials are not big, they have a strong background.As the chief assistant, Shen Shixing knew that these three were representatives of the speech officials personally promoted and appointed by Wanli.In the process of attacking Zhang Juzheng, he made great contributions and won Wanli's favor.

Speaking of officials, they just point to their mouths to eat.But there is also a word that makes people speak lightly.In order to increase the weight of the speech, the three hugged tightly into a group.Swearing together, fighting together, more people are more powerful, and a strange super combination is formed after a long time.

Shen Shihang is not Zhang Juzheng, as long as it is not too much, Shen Shihang will just turn a blind eye and close his eyes, pretending to be confused and let it go.But after the three of them bit Zhang Juzheng down, they probably went crazy, and they actually set their target on Shen Shixing!

For Shen Shixing, a political tycoon like Shen Shixing who has not been in a daze for 30 years, Jiang Dongzhi's flea-like guys are naturally not in his eyes.It's like a pile of shit, if you step on it, it will stink and you won't be able to eat for half a year.But if you don't step on it, it will disgust you and make you unable to eat for half a year.So shi shi xing was thinking, how about giving them a wink?Suddenly there was a movement in his heart, and when his eyes fell on Li Zhi, the last of the three, Shen Shixing suddenly remembered something!
Shen Shixing finally made up his mind, stretched out his hand and took a heavy photo of the memorial.The sound alarmed Shen Zhong, who was waiting outside the study, and hurried in, saying cautiously, "Master, this is..."

"Take my post and invite Wang Yuanyu." Wang Yuanyu is Wang Xijue, whose name is Yuanyu, and whose name is Mr. Jingshi.He is currently a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and ranks second among the four members of the cabinet. Shen Shixing is the first assistant, and he is the second assistant.

"It's so late to invite Mr. Wang Ge? Do you think it's time to wait until tomorrow..." Shen Zhong hesitated.When Shen Zhong was a child, he was the school boy next to Shen Shixing, and now he is the housekeeper of Shen's mansion.One master and one servant, after decades of companionship, for the other party, they are no different from family members.

"It's okay, the palace is not too far from here. Let's go quickly." Seeing that the master is determined, it seems that the matter to be said must be important, Shen Zhong dared not neglect, and ran out with a promise.

Wang Xijue, who received the post, soon arrived in a sedan chair.Wang Xijue has always had a lot of resentment towards Shen Shixing.First of all, they are fellow villagers, and besides, he, like Shen Shixing, was a Jinshi in the 41 years of Jiajing.Then in the general examination, they took the test together, he was the first, and Shen Shixing was the second.In the final imperial examination, he became the second and Shen Shixing was the first.

Putting such a source on someone else, you might cry out "Fate..." with tears in your eyes, and then cry with your head in your arms.Wang Xijue also wanted to cry, that is, Shengyu and He Shengliang, is there any!Good love is fate, evil love is evil, their love must be evil fate!Wang Xijue has always thought so.

But fate is so strange, decades passed in a hurry, and the two of them went through the ups and downs of their official careers and went through three dynasties.From being a green young man to the current peak position of the highest power in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Shixing was the chief assistant of the cabinet at this time, and he was the second assistant of the cabinet.Don't look at Wang Xijue's face pretending not to care, he has been thinking about it for decades, and he dreamed that he would also compete for the first place that time, overtaking Lao Shen.

When Wang Xijue entered the study, he saw Shen Shixing reading the book with an oil lamp on his head.He was furious when he was dragged out of the warm bed. "Shen Rumo, you have to be diligent and become a famous minister. Don't drag me if you don't sleep, okay?" After saying that, he sat down angrily, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and leave quickly after you finish speaking."

Shen Shixing laughed, stood up and pointed Wang Xijue with his hand, "Yuan Yuye, the one who knows me!" The praised Wang Xijue rolled his eyes at the right time, stretched out his hand to take the tea offered by Shen Zhong with a smile, and sipped it lightly. After taking a sip, the refreshing tea fragrance fills the room.

"The snow is green? Good tea!" Wang Xijue was addicted to tea, and most of his anger disappeared after taking a sip of good tea.Don't treat yourself as an outsider and said to Shen Zhong: "Just this tea, I will pack two catties for the master when I leave!"

"Bulaoge elders ordered that you prepared it long before you came, and it must have been delivered to the mansion by now."

Um?so good?Through the hazy water vapor in the teacup, Wang Xijue looked suspiciously at Shen Shixing.Being courteous for nothing is either rape or stealing, this smiling old fox is still the kind that has been cultivated for thousands of years, so there must be some tricks waiting for him.

Lifting a string in my heart, I snorted softly, put down the teacup, "Tell me, it's so late to disturb people's dreams, what's the use of me?" The two have known each other for so many years, how many gaps are there in each other's hearts? Almost touched.Speak straight to the point and don't need to be too wordy.

Wang Xijue glanced at the brochure that Shen Shixing handed over with a smile. When he saw the names of the three people in the brochure, his face suddenly changed, and he frowned and said, "The emperor still refuses to stop? Chaos is already in chaos in the court. If things go on like this, all civil and military officials will be in danger, and chaos is imminent! Who is it this time?"

It is no wonder that Wang Xijue was troubled. In recent years, Emperor Wanli, under the instigation of those speech officials, was like a wild horse out of captivity.Wang Xijue has no objection to overthrowing Zhang Juzheng, but you can't overthrow anyone who has been in contact with Zhang Juzheng, so who would dare to work for the court?

Seeing Wang Xijue's irritable mood, Shen Shixing chuckled in a good-tempered manner. "Yuanyu, just open it and look, and you will know the result."

Shen Shixing's ambiguous attitude aroused Wang Xijue's curiosity. Could it be that some important person was involved in this booklet?But after he opened it and looked at it, the expression on his face was as if he had opened a dye shop, with colorful and wonderful colors.

"Jiang Dongzhi, Yang Keli, Li Zhi, you dare to drag me into the water and trap me in injustice!"

It turned out that this letter was written by the three of Jiangdong to invite the current emperor to recommend their teacher, Wang Xijue, as the new chief assistant of the cabinet.As for shishixing, go home and do whatever you want to go home.Not to mention flattering Wang Xijue's political achievements in every possible way, he also voted for Wanli's favor. He listed all kinds of examples of Wang Xijue's resistance to Zhang Juzheng at the beginning.In a word, compared with Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue deserves his title as the first assistant.

If you are born a bird, you must be a man.There is no man who wants to be the second child but does not want to be the boss.If the timing of this letter was changed, Wang Xijue would enjoy the feeling of being praised.Although it was a bit exaggerated in the booklet, it was not wrong. Wang Xijue believed that he was qualified and capable enough to be the chief assistant.Of course, the premise is that in the absence of Shen Shixing, he would not admit it even if he was killed.

But if he was really picked up by these three people as the first assistant, Wang Xijue felt that there was no honor, and it was nothing but insult.He had been a decent man all his life, and he had always had a deep abhorrence of sleazy things.When he remembered that he was actually pushed out by the students to block guns for them, in order to achieve the goal of defeating Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue who was being used was outraged.

Looking up at Shang Shen Shixing's sly smile, Wang Xijue, who was angry and annoyed, said, "This has nothing to do with me!"

"I know." Shen Shixing chuckled, and Wang Xijue's liver hurt for a while because of his calmness.

"You're an old bastard, you just want to make trouble for me!" He closed the memorial in his hand fiercely, and let out a sigh of relief: "Don't worry about this, just leave it to me."

The two were officials for three dynasties and worked together in the same cabinet. Based on Wang Xijue's resentment, Shen Shixing glanced at the memorial with mocking eyes. Shen Shixing had already foreseen that the three would die badly.Seeing Wang Xijue standing up angrily and about to leave, Shen Shixing quickly stopped him and said seriously, "Yuan Yu wait a minute, I still have important matters to discuss with you."
