Chapter 597: Deal with it carefully
Who is Zhang Yongjia?
Ordinary people must be stunned when Zhang Juzheng asks this. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the Ming Dynasty, it is customary to use the name of the county to refer to the name of a person. Yongjia is the political secretary of Zhejiang, Yongjia County, Wenzhou Prefecture.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yongjia can be called irreplaceable, and there is only one person, that is, during the Jiajing period, Yongjia nationality, and Zhang Xuan, the first assistant of the cabinet.
Zhang Xuan is a very awesome person, don't talk about anything else, let's talk about the first one first.
Zhang Xuan was a jinshi at the age of 47, and entered the cabinet at the age of 53, and it took only six years from jinshi to prime minister.
One more thing, when Zhang Juzheng was the first assistant, he presided over the change of the law, and he was afraid that people would go to tea and cool after he left, so even if Ding was worried, he would not leave. Zhang Xuan is different, four in and four out, and it is convenient to enter and exit Wenyuan Pavilion as if it were his own home.
Zhang Xuan did a number of things that went down in the history of the Qing Dynasty, dismissed the provincial town guards, reformed the way of employing people in the imperial examination, strictly rectified the official system, and cleared the acres of fields. Any of these political achievements, put on the other first assistants of the Ming Dynasty, will not bear the infamy of 'paper paste pavilion old'.
Therefore, in Qingzhang Tianmu, Zhang Xuan is the first to eat crabs, and Zhang Juzheng has to push second.
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xuan was often compared with Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Xuan was famous among officials for being honest, and from this point of view, he seemed to be better than Zhang Juzheng in terms of personal morality.
Zhang Juzheng took Zhang Xuan as an example, and it was very coincidental that Lin Yanchao spoke to the Son of Heaven about 'Yongjia's learning', and Zhang Xuan also happened to be from Yongjia County. In addition, Zhang Xuan was a little criticized by the scholars. It's his performance in the 'Great Etiquette'.
After the death of Emperor Zhengde, he issued an edict to let his cousin Zhu Houxi, that is, Jiajing, inherit the throne. But Yang Tinghe and a group of ministers said that if Jiajing wanted to inherit the throne, he must first recognize Emperor Zhengde's father, Emperor Hongzhi, as his father, and then inherit the imperial heir in the name of his brother Emperor Zhengde.
But Jiajing refused, refused to recognize Uncle Hongzhi as his father, so what should he do with his own father, how could he, as an emperor, have two fathers.
But Yang Tinghe and other ministers said no, and quarreled with Jiajing, and at this time, Zhang Xuan, who was a scholar of the government, jumped out to write a book, citing scriptures and classics to put forward the concept of 'succession without succession'.
That is, Jiajing is the heir to your throne, but we don't recognize our father.
Because of the divine assistance of Zhang Xuan, Emperor Jiajing won the final victory in this great ceremony, consolidated the imperial power, and defeated Yang Tinghe's official forces.
But Zhang Xuan has a bad reputation among scholars, what kind of behavior is this? Ah Shang.
Under the atmosphere that Ming Dynasty officials were proud of selling the court staff, you were so shameless to welcome the emperor, would you be ashamed?
Zhang Juzheng said Lin Yanchao, do you want to learn from Zhang Xuan, there are two meanings of light and dark under this sentence.
Zhang Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was a native of Yongjia, and he also advocated reform of the law, and his behavior was in line with the Yongjia school. The dark you Lin Yanchao are all the way with Zhang Xuan, and you are also the one who welcomes the emperor.
And I, Zhang Juzheng, am the first assistant at the moment, the leader of the hundred officials, why do you Lin Yanchao also want to learn from Zhang Xuan who did against Yang Tinghe back then, and what did he do against me?
The leader is angry, and the consequences are serious!
Meng Xin is shivering!
It is not foolish to say that ordinary officials have been replaced on such occasions, and under the words of the extremely powerful Zhang Juzheng, they will lie down under the table.
Lin Yanchao said calmly: "Yuanfu Mingjian, the lower officials think that Zhang Yongjia is enough!" ”
Zhang Juzheng sneered: "What is the reason why Zong Hai said this? ”
Zhang Xuan is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and even Zhang Juzheng admires it, Lin Yanchao actually said that he is insignificant, isn't this a joke?
Lin Yanchao calmly explained: "Xia Guan remembers that in the year of Longqing, Taicang's annual income was only two million, and the annual income was three million taels, or even five million taels, and the annual deficit was more than three million taels, and the minimum was one million taels. So much so that when Yuan Fu was first taken in the general office, the Beijing officials couldn't send it out. ”
"And in the fifth year of Wanli, Taicang silver has an annual income of four million taels, and the annual income is still three hundred taels, and the surplus is as much as one million taels.
Sycophants send! Take it without thanks.
Zhang Juzheng smiled and did not speak.
Lin Yanchao continued: "Zhang Yongjia cleared the acres of land, totaling more than 57,400 hectares, which angered the powerful and kept impeachment. ”
"Now Yuan Fu Qing Zhang Mu of land, the number of acres of land registered in the imperial court, increased from 5.18 million hectares to 7.86 million hectares, and verified that 2.68 million acres of hidden fields were hidden.
2,680,000 hectares versus more than 57,400 hectares!
Take this point and compare Zhang Juzheng with Zhang Xuan. Then take the acres of clear fields, divide the new 2.68 million hectares, divide the original field amount of 5.18 million hectares in the Longqing year, and compare them again.
You must know that the military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty and the annual side salary account for more than seventy percent of the annual expenditure of Taicang silver.
Without Zhang Juzheng's reform and income generation, the imperial court had no money, so it could only levy heavy taxes on the common people, otherwise the military salary would be insufficient, and the Mongolian Jurchens would come in. And the consequences of heavy taxation can be found by reading the history of the displaced people in Chongzhen's year!
Truth or sycophancy is actually the same thing.
If you don't have the truth, how can you shoot the sycophants movingly and show deep feelings.
Lin Yanchao felt that he had passed this level, but seeing that Zhang Juzheng was a little thoughtful, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Zhang Yongjia investigated, but it was only more than 57,400 hectares, and the first assistant of the dignified house was impeached and almost couldn't protect himself. And if I count 2,680,000 hectares, will I not die without a place to bury in the future? ”
"Zong Hai, you just saw this, so you alienated from me, and even deliberately offended Zeng Shangshu, Zhang Shilang came to draw a line with me, in order to protect your life in the future!"
What do you mean not to play home remedies in front of the old Chinese medicine doctor!
He was careless for a while, and Zhang Juzheng realized his motives.
This time it's really going to hang.
Lin Yanchao's underwear under his official robe is soaked, and he will make up a word to fool the past?
Meng Zhang Juzheng? That's not a lot of difficulty.
Lin Yanchao glanced at Zhang Juzheng, knowing that he was sitting on pins and needles at the moment, and he was definitely clearly seen by the other party.
You can't flicker at this moment, otherwise your career will be over here.
Lin Yanchao had already stabilized his mood and said: "When Xia Guan first saw Yuan Fu, he said that Yuan Fu is ruined by the world, and the right and wrong of eternity, at this time of the limelight, you might as well take a step back and learn from Xiao He." ”
If you don't say sycophancy, Zhang Juzheng's question is not so difficult to answer.
Zhang Juzheng pinched his beard and said: "I see, I remember that Zong Hai was not optimistic about the cabinet from the beginning, thinking that I would be defeated, and there would be no good end in the future?" (To be continued.) )
