Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 590 Fatty Zhao

As Zhao Yongxian was talking, there were tears falling from the corner of his eyes.He wiped his tears and said: "I was really confused at that time. I deserved to be hit by the court stick and broke this leg."

He Liudao: "Since Mr. Zhao has already figured out what happened back then, he should refuse to be the doctor of the Ministry of Officials Examination Division, right?"

Zhao Yongxian shook his head: "No! I have already promised them! Tomorrow, I will go to the Ministry of Officials to receive the seal."

He Liu laughed: "Master Zhao's actions reminded me of Yang Ting and Mr. Yang's first assistant in the previous dynasty. At that time, Mr. Yang was in charge of the cabinet. There was an endless stream of people who went to his house to give gifts. He has always been disrespectful." .Because his principle is: accept all gifts as they are ordered, and do nothing that the giver asks for!"

Zhao Yongxian said: "Not only will I not do what Zhang Siwei and Zhang Jing said, to throw stones at my late teacher, but I will also speak a few words of justice for my late teacher in the court hall!"

He Liu sighed: "Oh, in this way, Mr. Zhao will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the palm of the chief assistant and supervisor of ceremonies. Aren't you afraid that they will harm you?"

Zhao Yongxian said: "It's what I should do to speak up for the eternal fame and justice. Afraid? Oh, I will say a word to Liu Ye today, please keep in mind: the scholars of all dynasties in China have backbone!"

He Liu praised Zhao Yongxian and said: "Master Zhao is really a loyal person!"

Zhao Yongxian suddenly brought the bowl of broth on his table to He Liu: "Look, Master Liu, what's in the bowl?"

He Liu took a closer look, and there were a few pieces of bacon floating in the bowl.

He was surprised and asked: "Could it be that Mr. Zhao's buttocks were smashed to the ground in the five years of Wanli at Donghua Gate?"

Zhao Yongxian smiled and nodded: "Exactly! I know, I played tricks on Zhang Siwei and Zhang Jing, and they will never let me go. One of these two is in charge of the cabinet, and the other is in charge of the supervisor. I want to find a reason Killing me is as easy as crushing an ant. My body is hairy and skinned, and I will be my parents. I have to take these pieces of meat and see my parents in heaven. So today I asked my wife to take these pieces of meat It was stewed into broth and eaten!"

He Liu stared at Zhao Yongxian with admiration.He cupped his hands and said: "Lord Zhao, don't worry. If Er Zhang wants to kill you, I'm afraid it won't be so easy! I will protect you! In the imperial court, officials with surviving conscience, such as Shen Shixing, Wang Guoguang, Wang Xijue and others, will also kill you." Keep you!"

Zhao Yongxian said with a smile: "Then I will thank Master Liu. In fact, I am also afraid of death. However, it is better to die in an upright manner than to live in the world against one's conscience!"

Two days later, Chengtian Hall came to court early.

Zhang Siwei came out of the class and said: "Report to the emperor! Zhang Juzheng has committed a heinous crime! The crime deserves death! Although he is dead now, his body is still there! I suggest that Zhang Juzheng's coffin be opened and his body whipped, so that his bones and ashes will be scattered!" "

Officials loyal to Zhang Juzheng came out to join him.

"Your majesty, Zhang Juzheng is deceiving the emperor and arrogating power, heinous! He should be killed without a whole body!"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Juzheng is the most treacherous minister of all time! Wouldn't it be better for him if the whole body of such a treacherous minister is left?"

Emperor Wanli watched with a half-smile and half-smile that all the grasshoppers on the walls of the officialdom were filled with righteous indignation, spitting and flying around.He remained silent throughout and did not make a statement.

Zhang Siwei was impatient.He turned his head and winked at Zhao Yongxian.That means: You, a student of Zhang Juzheng, should come on stage and scold your teacher in front of the emperor!
Zhao Yongxian understood, moved his crippled legs and fat body with great effort, and went out to play: "Minister, Zhao Yongxian, the official secretary of the Ministry of Officials, has something to report."

Emperor Wanli said: "Well, Zhao Aiqing has something to play."

Zhao Yongxian said in a loud voice: "Zhang Juzheng has served in the government for ten years, and the finances have been cleared up. Zhang Tianmu has implemented a whip method. The treasury has been filled, and the burden on the people has dropped sharply; the military appointed Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang and other famous generals to guard the north, and Yin Zhengmao and Yu Dayou were used to quell the rebellion in Guangdong and Guangxi. To save the common people from the suffering of war and massacre; to implement the examination method in the administration of officials, and the administration of officials is awe-inspiring. How much credit is this? I don't understand why Zhang Juzheng is scolded as worthless today?"

As soon as Zhao Yongxian's words came out, the government and the public were in an uproar!Who doesn't know that the emperor is now determined to liquidate Zhang Juzheng?You Zhao Yongxian, a small official doctor, openly contradicted the emperor in Chengtian Palace?

Zhang Siwei hurriedly said: "Zhao Yongxian's demonic talk of harming the country! He belongs to Zhang Juzheng's party! Your Highness's guard, why don't you drag him down quickly?"

Emperor Wanli said: "Zhang Siwei, shut up. Let Zhao Yongxian finish talking."

Zhao Yongxian said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the adults who suggested to the Emperor to switch and flog Zhang Juzheng's corpse just now had a different attitude towards him when Zhang Juzheng was alive! Zhang Juzheng celebrated his birthday, and they competed to offer birthday gifts, Make a congratulatory poem. Heh, why did they treat Zhang Juzheng as an enemy once Zhang Juzheng died?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Wanli's mouth: "Yes, it's quite strange. Zhao Yongxian, go ahead."

Zhao Yongxian said: "There is no gold, and no one is perfect. Mr. Zhang has been in power for ten years, and he has indeed done some wrong things. His achievements are too small. But today, why everyone only sees his faults and treats him badly. The meritorious service made by the imperial court, never mention it?"
