Chapter 684: There is no more Zhang Jiangling in the world

Zhang Juzheng was in power, and Lin Yanchao remembered how difficult it was for him to approve the establishment of a righteous school in the court meeting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, in order to get the resolution passed, Lin Yanchao had to compromise with the officials.

Therefore, Liu Siwen, the waiter of the household department, asked Fang to make up 80,000 taels for Lin Yanchao to do this matter, but with the degree of corruption of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, all officials who passed through it had to draw a penny. According to the practice of officialdom in the past, 80,000 taels can be truly implemented in the establishment of a righteous school, and there are almost only 30,000 taels left.

At that time, Zhang Siwei was present, even if he was not present, it can also be seen that Lin Yanchao's proposal was the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, he served as the first assistant, one thing was to allocate 100,000 taels from Taicang to please the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and the concubine, and the second thing was to support the Son of Heaven's determination and use actions to show that he would return to the Son of Heaven. Moreover, Zhang Siwei said in the article that the candidates for the establishment of the school can be designated by the Son of Heaven, which is absolutely intimate.

Although Lin Yanchao was not ashamed of Zhang Siwei's actions, he still accepted Zhang Siwei's feelings very much in this matter, so that he had nothing to say. Whether it is to set up a righteous school or to designate a candidate, this is the power that the little emperor has never touched when he was in the Zhang Juzheng dynasty.

The little emperor asked Wang Jiaping and Lin Yanchao: "The two Qing families, are there suitable candidates for the establishment of a righteous school?" ”

Wang Jiaping was contemplating, and at this time, Lin Yanchao couldn't wait for Wang Jiaping to speak, so he said it himself. The establishment of righteous learning was originally his strong advocacy, and this matter should not be pretended to others, but should be led by himself. Now that the emperor is gradually grasping the power, he doesn't need to make every suggestion, how does Zhang Ju think and how will he react?

Of course, it is to put your own ideas into practice.

So Lin Yanchao said: "Your Majesty, the minister's previous initiative to attribute the matter of righteousness to the Ministry of Rites is just an expedient measure. Since Zhang Yuanfu is willing to fully support His Majesty, His Majesty should take this as the first priority and establish the imperial authority. ”

Lin Yanchao's move surprised Wang Jiaping, Zhang Whale, and Zhang Hong. Lin Yanchao has always been silent, and everything is based on the Wang family. When the Son of Heaven asked, Lin Yanchao also tried not to make his opinion too clear, and even when Zhang Siwei proposed to give 100,000 Taicang silver to the Son of Heaven for private use, Lin Yanchao also agreed against his will.

But in this matter, they had never seen Lin Yanchao so determined.

The little emperor said: "How to erup the emperor's authority?" Lin Qing's family may wish to speak. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The minister thinks that in the matter of establishing a righteous school, he can follow the example of the three major yamen of Cangchang, Caoyun, and the river, and specialize in special matters. ”

As soon as Lin Yanchao's words came out, the audience was shocked.

The officials of the Governor Kuraba are generally attached to the household department and the rank of squire, but they no longer work in the household department.

The governor of the river is the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and the title of squire, but he is not also a member of the Ministry of Works.

Governor Cao Yun is also in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The meaning of Lin Yanchao's move is that the officials of the Governor Yixue can hang the book of the Ministry of Rites and the title of squire, but they do not work part-time in the Ministry of Rites. is like a cabinet scholar, who is basically attached to the household department, and the official title of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but not in the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites is also poor.

This move amounted to the fact that the officials of the Governor Yixue nominally belonged to the Ministry of Rites, but in fact bypassed the Ministry of Rites and were directly responsible to the emperor.

"As for the officials of the Governor Yixue, the ministers asked the former right capital Yushi to serve as the governor of the heavens, Hai Rui Hai Qingtian, to take up this position."

After being surprised in front, Lin Yanchao mentioned the matter of Governor Hai Rui Yixue again, and the jaws of the people present were shocked.

Hai Jui's reputation for honesty is known to the world, but his style of doing things is incompatible with officialdom.

When he was appointed governor of Yingtian, Hai Rui also offended the former first assistant Xu Jie. Xu Jie's family encroached on countless fields, and Hai Rui, who was the governor of Yingtian, strictly investigated Xu Jie, making him embarrassed. It is said that Xu Jie bribed the student Zhang Juzheng with 30,000 taels and asked him to get Hai Rui out.

After Zhang Juzheng's reign, Hai Rui has been living at home.

However, Lin Yanchao recommended Hai Rui to the little emperor, which is tantamount to dismantling Zhang Juzheng's platform. However, it was not Lin Yanchao who deliberately went against Zhang Juzheng, because in his heart, there was indeed no one more suitable for the education of the governor than Hai Rui.

After listening to Lin Yanchao's suggestion, the little emperor pondered for a while, and said to Wang Jiaping: "What does Wang Qing's family think of Lin Qing's words?" ”

Wang Jiaping said to the little emperor: "Lin Zhongyun has never spoken lightly, if he has words, he must be thoughtful, and the minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Wang Jiaping said ten words in front of the emperor, Lin Yanchao supported ten sentences, and now Lin Yanchao said a word, he also wants to repay the peach.

The little emperor nodded and said, "Zhang Whale, you will write a small note with a red pen and send it to Wenyuan Pavilion in Lin Qing's opinion, and say that it is me." ”

The little emperor made it clear that he supported Lin Yanchao.

After Lin Yanchao thanked him, Feng Bao hurriedly rushed into the palace and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang entered the palace to thank him." ”

The little emperor smiled and said, "Why is the eldest companion anxious? Isn't Mr. Zhang in Wenyuan Pavilion? Thanks for what? ”

"Yes, it's not Mr. Zhang from Wenyuan Pavilion, but Mr. Zhang, the former Yuanfu."

Little Emperor Huo Ran stood up from the imperial chair.

"Where is Mr. Zhang now?"

Feng Baodao: "Outside the noon gate." ”

"Why don't you let him enter the palace to see me?" The little emperor said hurriedly.

Feng Bao wept and said: "Mr. Zhang said that he was seriously ill and was afraid that the epidemic would infect the dragon's body, so he told the old slave that he was lying outside the noon gate. ”

The little emperor said angrily: "I am the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, why are you afraid of the epidemic and die quickly...... Forget it, swing the noon gate. ”

After speaking, the little emperor hurried out of the hall, and the eunuchs on the left and right were startled when they saw the Son of Heaven's move, and they followed out of the palace. Wang Jiaping and Lin Yanchao also had to be on the side.

From the Wenhua Palace, to the Huiji Gate, and then to the Noon Gate, the guards on duty in the palace, when did the Fire Man see the Son of Heaven running so fast, and they were all in a hurry to bow down. When the little emperor arrived at the noon gate, he saw that on the empty noon gate square, Zhang Juzheng was wearing the clothes of ordinary people and kneeling on the floor tiles with his sons.

Ministers and emperors generally have rewards. As usual, the returning officials would come outside the noon gate and kowtow to the noon gate to thank them. Ordinary officials will not receive it, and they kowtow.

However, if Zhang Juzheng is such an official with a first-class official residence, he can resign and thank the Son of Heaven in person.

The little emperor was about to step forward, Zhang Whale and Zhang Hong knelt down together and said, "Your Majesty, you can't go over!" ”

The little emperor said angrily: "You guys get out of the way." ”

The eunuchs on the side all knelt on the ground, and Feng Bao wept and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, this is what Mr. Zhang meant, please let Your Majesty grant his request." ”

The little emperor was helpless, and said to Lin Yanchao, Wang Jiaping: "You guys go quickly, help Mr. Zhang up, and then ask Mr. Zhang what else do you have to say to me?" ”

Wang Jiaping, Lin Yanchao walked more than ten feet away from the Son of Heaven, and said to Zhang Juzheng, who was kneeling on the ground: "Zhongtang, Your Majesty, please calm down." ”

After speaking, the two of them supported Zhang Juzheng together.

Lin Yanchao saw that Zhang Juzheng's complexion was worse than when he saw him a few days ago, and he was speechless for a while, and said half-loudly: "Zhongtang, what do you want us to give to the Son of Heaven?" ”

Zhang Juzheng held Lin Yanchao's hand and said slowly: "Most of what the old man wants to say is in secret, and the chapter is said, and the main reason for this is to thank Your Majesty." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "Zhongtang has a heart, as soon as the Son of Heaven heard that you were coming, he rushed from Wenhua Hall to the noon gate. ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "There is Lao Zonghai, you are the old man to His Majesty, the ministers are taken care of by the emperor, the lord trusts, and he governs for ten years, that is, he will become the king of the Duke of Zhou, I am afraid that it will not be the same, and the ministers are ashamed of themselves and are not enough to be embarrassed......"

"Ten years in the country, the ministers took the world as their own responsibility, but they lamented all night, and their conscientious work was still not enough to cut off the country's accumulated evils, which were in the clan, in the rule of officials, in the border troubles, in the state, in the private family, and the public office was poor......"

"The lord of the people is high in the hall, and he wants to observe the people's feelings like watching flowers through the window, and the officials are the best at perfunctory, pretentiously pretending to the people's feelings, and his majesty must not believe all the words in the chapter, and the monarch must always observe the people's suffering. Another minister knows that people are philosophers, and it has been difficult since ancient times, and the selection of cadres must not only be based on the recommendation of words, but should check their names and facts......"

Zhang Juzheng wanted to tell him something, but sometimes he couldn't think of it for a long time, so he paused for a long time.

Lin Yanchao knew that Zhang Juzheng was suffering from illness, so his thinking was far less agile than before.

Zhang Juzheng said: "Probably so, Zong Hai can never forget it, please remember every word in your heart." ”

Lin Yanchao bowed down and asked: "In the middle hall, the lower officials will be exactly the same, Your Majesty." It's just that what Fang just said, it's all official affairs, can Zhongtang have private affairs to the Son of Heaven? ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "The Son of Heaven has given the Pillar Country, the position of the Grand Master, this honor has never been seen in ancient and modern times, how dare the old man talk about private matters again?" Zong Hai is good as he is. ”

"The lower officer receives the order, and the middle hall takes care." Lin Yanchao took a deep look at Zhang Juzheng.

Wang Jiaping also said with tears in his eyes: "Zhongtang, please take care all the way." ”

Lin Yanchao and Wang Jiaping returned to their lives.

Then Zhang Juzheng trembled and kowtowed to the little emperor under the noon gate, and said, "Farewell to Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Juzheng's body couldn't support it, and this ceremony was reluctant, and after half of the walk, his sons stepped forward to help.

At this time, Feng Bao also rushed over from the emperor and asked, "Mr. Zhang, Your Majesty sent me to ask you, what else do you have to explain when you leave Beijing and return to your hometown?" ”

Zhang Juzheng said weakly: "It's all that should be said, the old man just wants to drag this stump and survive his hometown in Jiangling." In the future, when I am not in the court, Gonggong Feng must take care of himself and assist the saint well. ”

Feng Bao raised his voice and said with a cry: "Yes, our family has written it down, and there will always be only one Mr. Yuanfu Zhang in our family's heart." ”

So Zhang Juzheng's sons and Feng Bao left Wumen Square with Zhang Juzheng in their arms.

The little emperor saw that Zhang Juzheng got into the carriage and left the imperial city, and he couldn't hold back anymore at the moment, so he threw off his dragon robe and ran up to the Wumen City Tower.

At this time, Lin Yanchao and Wang Jiaping went up to the city tower together, and watched with the little emperor Under the sunset, Zhang Juzheng's carriage drove out of the palace gate and disappeared into the distance.

Zhang Whale said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is gone. ”

The little emperor nodded, and then said in despair: "I know that I will never see Mr. Zhang again in the future." ”

"There is no more Zhang Jiangling in the world." Wang Jiaping also said.
