When the Ming Dynasty established the system of supervising the imperial history, the courtiers once said that there are three important things to govern peace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The cabinet palm seal is required, the official department is still in the book, and the left capital is in the imperial history.

It is intended to discuss politics, personnel, supervision, and balance the three powers.

To serve as the thirteen imperial historians, recommended by the officials, and then supervise the reinstatement and promotion of the imperial history by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then report to the Son of Heaven.

However, during his tenure, the imperial history was not subject to the constraints of the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If the Son of Heaven is willing, he will supervise the promotion and use of the imperial history, but he can not go through the cabinet and the ministry.

Therefore, the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty has great power, and a piece of music can be heard at any time. In order to restrain the officials, the supervision of the imperial history will be set as the seven products in the matter, so as to rank and inferior, and use the small to control the large.

Although it is said that the small is the large, the speech official is not very competent.

When Yan Song and Zhang Juzheng were in power, they didn't dare to let go of a single official, but became an accomplice.

When Zhang Juzheng returned to his hometown, Zhao Yingyuan, the inspector of the imperial history, did not go. Chen Jiong, the imperial history of the left capital, removed Zhao Yingyuan from his name and cut his nationality at the moment. At that time, the household member Wailang Wang couldn't look past it, and wrote a letter to intercede for Zhao Yingyuan, but he was also cut down.

When the ministers were no longer in office, the officials came out one after another, attacking the government and the government, impeaching the ministers, and impeaching no one without impeachment.

Therefore, when Zhang Juzheng was in power, he suppressed his words, and all the officials in the Yushi Observatory did not dare to sing a word.

By the time Zhang Siwei felt that his words were out of control, it was too late.

When Zhang Siwei wanted to restrain him again, it was too late, the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Guoguang, Liang Menglong was impeached and removed by the Yanguan successively, and the boss of the Yushi Observatory, Zuodu Yushi Chen Ji, because of the crime of involving Zhang Juzheng and the Yu Party, was asking the Son of Heaven for a letter a day.

And the impeachment of Chen Wei was his subordinates, the imperial historians in the Imperial Court.

Even the top leaders of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the officials dared to impeach, and there was nothing they dared to do.

There was no restriction on the official at all, first the imperial history Wei Yunzhen took advantage of the victory to pursue, and wrote a letter directly to reprimand the Ministry of Officials, and the system of selecting officials in the Ministry of War was unfair, all of which were instructed to the cabinet ministers, or the eunuchs who were in charge of the seal, so that those who only knew how to welcome and give gifts were promoted, and those who were highly respected were not promoted for a long time.

This seems to be very righteous and politically correct, but the meaning of the warning for the cabinet, the celebrant and the official department is obvious.

Wei Yunzhen's book, Zhang Siwei was so angry that he scolded, what does it mean to lift a stone and hit one's own feet, that's it.

Not only that, Wei Yunzhen made a speech again, saying two points: one is that Zhang Juzheng interfered a lot in the personnel of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War when he was in power, and the cabinet should take this as a warning in the future.

This one is fine, and the second one makes Zhang Siwei faint in anger.

These two articles say that the scientific examination is the public of the world, and the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet should not use their power for personal gain, and take the son of the cabinet as a jinshi, and the name of the department does not match the talent and learning, so they should be removed from their official posts.

After this recital, Ruan Zixiao was afraid that Zhang Siwei would not understand, so he directly named his surname, saying that Zhang Juzheng's three sons Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Maoxiu, Lu Xingzhou, the son of the former cabinet minister Lu Tiaoyang, and Ma Ziqiang's son Ma Yu (Zhang Siwei's son-in-law) are all high, and they should be verified to be true to the resentment of scholars in the world.

The official impeached Zhang Juzheng's three sons on the surface, and took the scientific examination to take the Jinshi in the relationship, but secretly scolded Zhang Siwei, who was the chief examiner of the examination, for taking Zhang Juzheng's son and his son-in-law, which was really a favoritism.

There is also Zhang Taizheng, the eldest son of the Jinshi in Zhang Siwei's relationship, is that also going to get rid of his fame?

What do you call me crazy, even beating myself, Zhang Siwei shouted over there all day long, 'Matters return to the six columns, words return to Taiwan', okay, now that the words are returned to Taiwan, people have come to dismantle your platform and put Zhang Siwei into the pit.

Zhang Siwei had to write an article to defend himself, saying that Cheng Zu set up a cabinet to praise the management of the machine, although there were auxiliary ministers who were not virtuous...... Because of the former minister's selfishness, the minister does not want to be with the ministers...... This is not ancestral.

As for the prime minister's son, Han Yi, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and his four sons were all Zhongjinshi, and I didn't hear what anyone said at that time, and the minister was not Qin Hui who took his son for personal gain, etc., which was the laughing stock of the world.

Finally, I added, if you wronged me like this again, I will only beg for bones.

Of course, the Son of Heaven would not let Zhang Siwei resign, and immediately reprimanded Wei Yunzhen to keep Zhang Siwei.

But as soon as the Son of Heaven played the chapter, Wei Yunzhen's friend Li Sancai came forward to defend Wei Yunzhen, and was reprimanded by the Son of Heaven and directly demoted to the official.

Although Zhang Siwei seemed to have won this struggle, Wei Yunzhen and Li Sancai's move won the sympathy of the Yanguan and their reputation was greatly enhanced.

This is to win the face, lose the inside.

Zhang Siwei reached this point, and finally understood that he had lost control of the situation.

Historically, Zhang Siwei lost control of the situation of the official, and wrote desperately to his friend Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Zhejiang, that in the situation in the court, the servant had decided to retire, and he did not mean that the holy will was treacherous, and the servant was not allowed to go, and the group of small people was resentful of each other, and the adulterous state could be ugly.

And in this time and space, Zhang Siwei was in the cabinet duty room, and his face was gray when he looked at the concerto.

Now the Son of Heaven has lost control of the speech official, not only did not stop it, but even encouraged it.

The Son of Heaven issued an order to promote more than 20 science and Taoist officials, including Niu Weibing, who had impeached Pan Sheng and other ministers, as a reward, which was tantamount to signaling 'don't stop'.

Zhang Siwei had to agree to this will, because Niu Weibing and others were all his protégés of Zhang Siwei, and it was thanks to them that Pan Sheng and others were impeached.

Zhang Siwei couldn't help but sigh: "The group of grievances is boiling, Benfu is really burning." ”

Dong Zhongshu saw Zhang Siwei and asked, "Xiangye, is there room for maneuver for today's plan?" ”

"It's difficult, unless there is a change in the holy will, but you see now, the Holy One is encouraging these officials to criticize the court affairs and impeach the courtiers."

Dong Zhongshu heard this: "The Holy Lord is in view of the fact that Zhang Wenzhong had too much power before, so he wants to introduce the platform to curb the intention of the cabinet power. The officials have a glimpse of the holy will, so this is out of control, and the only way for the minister to do this is to re-clamp the platform, otherwise how can you still have room to speak in the future? ”

Zhang Siwei said: "It's difficult, if Benfu asks His Majesty to re-clamp the platform now, it will be self-defeating." Those who have gained power will turn around and attack Bensuke. This is what Lin Zonghai said, giving too much to others, and hurting others and hurting oneself. But if the words continue like this, I am afraid that in the future, the main and auxiliary phases will not be guaranteed, and they will be seriously punished. ”

"Xiangye doesn't have to worry about this, didn't Your Majesty order to keep it?"

Zhang Siwei shook his head and said: "The sacred heart is unpredictable, today I am assisted by Zhang Wenzhong's affairs, and I will try my best to deal with it, if he is in Japan, is Shenwu County willing to do so much for the old man?" ”

Dong Zhongshu deserves to be Zhang Siwei's number one military advisor, and after thinking for a long time, he came up with a plan and said: "Xiangye, since Lin Zonghai had expected the loss of control of Yantai, why not ask him about it?" Even if he can't help it, he can also use this to throw stones to ask for directions, and ask what Shenwu County means? Let's see if we can reconcile with Shenwu County. ”

Zhang Siwei's eyes lit up and said: "This is Gao Ce, you immediately send a letter to Lin Zonghai for Ben Fu, and ask him to come to Ben Fu's mansion tonight." ”

When Zhang Siwei's letter was sent to the Lin Mansion, the people of the Lin Mansion did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent it to Lin Yanchao, who was in the Shen Shi Mansion.

For more than a month, Shen Shixing has been 'calling sick'.

Regarding Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao's party liquidation, he did not ask. In fact, everyone knows his embarrassment, if Shen Shixing is in the cabinet, in the face of the liquidation of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzhengyu's party, will he do it or not?

On one side is Zhang Juzheng's old favor, and on the other side is the emperor's meaning.

So Shen Shixing is better to rest at home. While resting, Shen Shixing also wrote to the Son of Heaven that he was really embarrassed to say that he was sick and did not serve as a cabinet member, and begged for his resignation.

The Son of Heaven said that you still receive your salary, and sir, you can recuperate at home with peace of mind.

The Son of Heaven wants to guarantee the time, but the officials can't guess the meaning of the Son of Heaven. In the past few days, Shen Shixing's courtyard has been cold and silent, and the officials who come to visit him on weekdays are all gone.

Only Lin Yanchao went in and out as usual.

After Lin Yanchao read the letter, he couldn't help but smile, handed it to Shen Shixing, and said, "Zhang Puzhou has remorse. ”

Shen Shixing shook his head after seeing it and said, "It's difficult, if Zhang Puzhou had listened to you, there would still be something to be done in this matter." But now that he has the power, how can he return this power with both hands? ”

"Yes, since ancient times, power has been easy to let go and difficult to regain." Lin Yanchao Road.

After a pause, Lin Yanchao asked, "What is the master's opinion?" ”

Shen Shixing said: "The only way to turn things around now is in the holy will. As long as His Majesty says a word, he can still suppress the effect of Yantai, but now His Majesty still wants to continue to liquidate the Chu Party, how can he let Yantai stop at this time. ”

"Besides, even if the power is collected, who will say this? Zhang Siwei is not good, if he says it, he will break his word and get fat. The old man can't do it, he is in a place of suspicion, if he speaks, His Majesty will think that the old man is speaking for the Chu Party. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "After all, Zhang Puzhou is not as good as Xu Huating." ”

Shen Shixing shook his head and said: "It's not that Zhang Puzhou is inferior to Xu Huating, but that he is not as good as Emperor Sejong today." ”

In Shen Shixing's words, Lin Yanchao was also silent for a long time.

Then Lin Yanchao said: "Teacher, the student wants to say this for Zhang Siwei, and the teacher." ”

Shen Shixing sighed: "The old man expected that you would do this. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, in fact, the student wants to send someone to invite the student, but he also wants to ask the teacher, which also means to reconcile with the teacher." ”

Shen Shixing nodded and smiled: "This is worthy of being an old man's apprentice, he has seen things thoroughly, then you can tell Zhang Siwei what the old man wants." ”

After agreeing, Shen Shixing sent Lin Yanchao out of the door and said: "I didn't expect the old man to be unwilling, this matter still has to be handled by you in the end, and you can figure out the consequences." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The student has made up his mind, and he still has no regrets even though he has died. ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "If the old man has a comeback in the future, he will not forget Zonghai's grace today." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The teacher and I are like father and son, and the disciple is willing to serve this." ”

Lin Yanchao went to Zhang Siwei's mansion that night.

Zhang Siwei deigned to come to the second gate to greet Lin Yanchao, and as soon as they met, he took Lin Yanchao's hand, and said with regret: "I regret not listening to Zong Hai's words, otherwise the old man would not have today." ”

Hearing Zhang Siwei's words, Lin Yanchao couldn't cry or laugh.

PS: Historically, Wei Yunzhen was impeached because of Zhang Siwei's second son, Zhang Jiazheng, and Shen Shixing's eldest son, Shen Yongmaozhong Jinshi, and the time was advanced in the book.

There is also a year and a half of history for the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng. This book is written in a short time for the sake of the tight plot, but despite this, the rhythm is still quite slow, forgive me!
