In September, the capital is eventful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the beginning of a series of big things, they all start with inadvertent small things.

If you summarize the beginning of the matter, it is to read the Xuanda Mountain West Border Affairs to the matter Zhongtian Danian, and inscribe a letter to the three towns to inquire about the eight things.

Among them, it is said that the soldiers and horses are not unprepared, etc., and the border generals of each town are praised or demoted.

A series of generals were transferred in various border towns, which seemed ordinary, but everything seemed unusual at the time.

After that, the Son of Heaven decreed.

Jiliao Governor Prince Shaobao Military Department Shangshu Wu Hui Department Administrator.

Liang Menglong, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, was promoted by Feng Bao as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, so Feng Bao planned to let Wu Du return to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War to make up for Liang Menglong's vacancy.

Wu Dui is also Zhang Juzheng's old party, and Feng Bao's appointment of him as the secretary of the military department can be described as a good calculation, and the officials in charge of civil officials and the military department in charge of military generals are firmly in his hands. Feng Bao then elected Zhou Yong, the former governor of Liaodong, as the governor of Jiliao to fill the vacancy after Wu Dui left.

The secretary of the ministry, the secretary of the military department, and the governor of Jiliao are all Feng Bao's private and Zhang Juzheng's old party.

After that, the imperial court was suddenly promoted, with Wang Xun, the assistant of the left squire of the military department, and the assistant of the Jingying Rongzheng as the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry. Wang Xun was the replacement of Wang Yiju, the left attendant of the military department of the former assistant Beijing battalion, but he was transferred to Nanjing to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry less than 10 days after his appointment.

The Son of Heaven ordered Yang Junmin, the right deputy of the Governor of Shandong, to be the right attendant of the Military Department, and Jia Yingyuan, the left attendant of the Military Department, to assist the Jingying Rongzheng together.

Who is Yang Junmin? He is the eldest son of Yang Bo, the former secretary of the ministry. Yang Junsheng had two daughters, married to Zhang Siwei's two sons, Zhang Taizheng and Zhang Jiazheng.

This person is Zhang Siwei's most hardcore political ally.

At this time, Zhang Siwei transferred the other party from the post of governor of Shandong to the left squire of the military department to control the Beijing camp.

Just when all this undercurrent was surging, it was already in September.

Zhang Siwei has been in charge of the country for half a year.

Lin Yanchao's Yenching Times published a special issue to discuss the achievements of the new first assistant in the past six months.

Of course, this special issue is not something that anyone else can write casually. Instead, he invited several officials who had already paid tribute to the priest, such as Zhou Ziyi, the former Guozi priest, to write it. The special issue evaluates several things that Zhang Siwei has done since he came to power, and makes a comparison with the former first assistant Zhang Juzheng.

Among them, Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the government, under strict rule, the execution of prisoners was quite severe, the examination law was used to severely urge local officials, and the postal service was also reformed, prohibiting officials from using stagecoaches for non-official purposes.

After Zhang Siwei took office, he engaged in leniency, not only to save the punishment of the big punishment, but also to relax the requirements for the examination law, and successively reduced or exempted the arrears of taxes, silver, grain and rice in various provinces. In particular, Zhang Siwei also waved a big pen, exempting Shanxi from ten years of autumn grain and 400,000 taels of tax silver owed to the imperial court for the sake of the disaster in his hometown.

Zhang Siwei is not only lenient at the bottom, but also at the top. In the seventh year of Wanli, the Son of Heaven intended to transfer 100,000 taels of silver from the household department for the banquet and drink in Guanglu Temple, which was rejected by Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Siwei was the first assistant, and he gave Guanglu Temple an extra batch of 200,000 taels in one go, and it was given more every year to become a permanent example.

As for the use of postal messages, Zhang Siwei also ordered the ban on Zhang Juzheng riding the post at will, which is tantamount to allowing officials to use the post horses at will.

Zhou Ziyi and other bigwigs made the following comments in the Yenching Times.

It is said that Zhang Juzheng was under the rule of Shen Han and imposed severe punishments, so it is inevitable that the civil affairs of Shilin will be boiling.

In the commentary, Zhou Ziyi wrote that Zhang Siwei abolished the harshness in Zhang Juzheng's new policy, and he was actually a lenient prime minister, although he was not said to be Xiao Gui Cao Sui, but he was also a virtuous minister comparable to Fang Du.

However, another person named 'Hou Guan Xiaoxiaosheng' said that when Zhang Juzheng was in power, the treasury was poor and had no money, and even had a deficit of several million taels, so he was strictly ruled, so he offended a large number of people and made money everywhere.

But Zhang Juzheng has been in the country for ten years, and the treasury has accumulated tens of millions of surplus money, not only that, but he also used the rebellion of Liu Xianping in Zeng Province, and the rebellion next to Luo with Lingyun Yiping, and expanded the land for hundreds of miles; With Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang to the north, Liaozuo has won many victories, grabbed thousands of miles, and used Pan Ji to tame the water and the river Huai is not troubled, all of which are due to Sheji.

Today, the country has savings, and Zhang Siwei has changed from strict to lenient, which can be regarded as conforming to the hearts of the people, which is the way of one gallop.

Moreover, although Zhang Siwei abolished some of the new policies, he still carried out the Qingzhang fields in Henan, Shandong, and the two Beijing provinces in an orderly manner. A whip is also the same as before. can also be regarded as inheriting Zhang Juzheng's political authority, which can be described as a virtuous appearance for a while.

In short, the comments on both sides are on the surface of the ass of Zhang Siwei, the first assistant of the dynasty, but Yu Zhang Juzheng's merits and demerits have been well discussed.

In particular, Zhang Juzheng's achievements and demerits in the ten years of his rule have been well expounded on both sides of the positive and negative sides, and he has praised and depreciated them but talked about them on the facts. Therefore, as soon as this issue of the Yanjing Times came out, officials and scholars in Beijing rushed to buy it. In the past, only 3,000 copies were sold in a single issue, but this issue sold more than 5,000 copies.

Zhang Siwei is nearly half a year apart, and Zhang Juzheng has been dead for two months, and there is no specific statement from the official and non-governmental organizations. The Son of Heaven named Zhang Juzheng's nickname 'Wenzhong', what kind of virtue can be called Wenzhong, we ordinary people don't understand. Now not to mention the officials in the Beijing Division, almost everyone who reads books has a copy of the Yanjing Times, talking about Zhang Juzheng's achievements and demerits in the past ten years. Even the common people are involved.

The Yanjing Times ignited the enthusiasm of most people at once.

Zhang Juzheng died of illness, and the coffin was not yet conclusive, but the Yanjing Times dared to be the first in the world, so that all officials and scholars could stand up and discuss freely without any preconditions.

In the teahouse and pear orchard, many officials and gentry in the past held the Yanjing Times and discussed there.

There were many discussions, some people said it was good, some people said it was bad, and they couldn't hold each other.

But at this moment, in the newspaper office of the Yenching Times, it is a different situation.

A table was set up in the newspaper office.

Lin Yanchao sat at the same table with Tang Xianzu, Lu Wanjia, Guo Zhengyu, and Qu Hengjiang. Chen Jichuan filled several people with wine on the side, and then retreated to the side.

Lin Yanchao raised his glass to a few people: "This glass of water and wine is for you to practice." ”

Several people looked at each other and couldn't help but say, "Why is it so fast?" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "Yes, there will be drastic changes in the palace in the next few days, and you won't be able to leave if it's too late, so you must leave tonight, the sooner the better." ”

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, and Guo Zhengyu sighed silently.

Qu Hengjiang was on fire in his heart, and when he saw Guo Zhengyu like this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Why is Guo Xiaolian reluctant to leave when he leaves?" Yes, it's only half a year before next year's exam, and it should be okay to be admitted to the Jinshi with Brother Guo's talent, and he is reluctant to leave Jingshi. ”

Guo Zhengyu glanced at Qu Hengjiang and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Tang Xianzu and Lu Wanjia hurriedly said: "Brother Qu, Brother Meimei will never be such a person." ”

Tang Xianzu said: "I know the mood of Brother Meiming, although this Yanjing Times has only been created for a few months, but it has entrusted our hard work. ”

"Every word of every issue was rushed out overnight by a few of us in this newspaper office. Every morning, we went to the newspaper office, and the hundreds of readers who saw it lined up outside the door to buy the first copy of the newspaper, and the joy was no less than that of passing the imperial examination. ”

"It's easy to get a good reputation among Shilin, and with the scale of recent days, seeing the destruction of my hard work, I am as sad as Brother Meimei."

Qu Hengjiang said loudly: "The eldest husband is for national affairs, even if he destroys his family to relieve difficulties, what does it matter!" I don't feel sorry for it. ”

Lin Yanchao listened to everyone's words and said apologetically: "This Yanjing Times was created by me, and it was also destroyed by me. It's because I'm sorry for everyone, and for my own selfishness, I involved everyone in the government. ”

Guo Zhengyu said: "Teacher, this is a bad statement, what is the original intention of our Times, to promote culture and education, open up the wisdom of the people, and make the people new." Therefore how can we know without speaking, and turn a blind eye to it. ”

"Whitewashing the peace and aiding the abuse, this is not to open up the wisdom of the people and the new people, but to fool the people and ruin the people with literature."

Hearing what Guo Zhengyu said, everyone patted their legs and said: "Well said, this statement should be a big white thing, drink three cups in a row." ”

After speaking, everyone raised their wine glasses and drank heartily.

After a few glasses of wine, everyone laughed, and their chests were full of pride.

Lin Yanchao poured another glass of wine and said to Tang Xianzu: "I know that you are still not in harmony with righteousness, and this time you are willing to publish this article, which is really surprising to me." ”

Tang Xianzu waved his hand and said: "Brother Zonghai, don't say that, you and I are entrusted with life and death, how can I not agree to your request." Besides, I didn't say anything good about Zhang Jiangling in the magazine. When the Yenching Times was founded, our position was to be impartial and speak from the middle. Zhang Jiangling has merits and deeds, let's spread it out and say, what is wrong with this. As for who the reader thinks is right and who is wrong, they have their own opinion. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Xianzu suddenly said: "But if someone wants to impose his own will on the will of the people, smearing black and white, this is what we can't bear, and I can't tolerate it, even if this person is high, it is not good to be the Ninth Five-Year Honor." ”

Lu Wanjia said: "Even if it is the common people of Li, they also have the right to know in detail. The people have knowledge, the people have opinions, and the people have discussions. It is not allowed to block the audio-visual with the words of one person, so as to close the world and relax the mouth. Only the people can determine these merits and demerits. ”

"And we founded the Yanjing Newspaper, this ambition is known to Xinmin!"

After Lu Wanjia finished speaking, he smashed his fist on the table, and the wine and soup on the table splashed everywhere.

"A good new people know," Qu Hengjiang got up and sang: "King Wen is above, Yu Zhao is in the sky, although Zhou is an old state, his life is renewed!" ”

Qu Hengjiang together, everyone struck the festival together: "King Wen is above, Yu Zhao is in the sky, although Zhou is an old state, his life is renewed!" ”

"There are weeks that are not visible, and the emperor's order is from time to time. King Wen descended, around the emperor. ”

"King Wen, I am amazed. Chen Xizai Zhou, grandson of King Hou Wen. ”

……

The conversation was impassioned at first, but ended with tears.

After Tang Xianzu wiped away his tears, he took the lead in getting up and said to Lu Wanjia, Qu Hengjiang, and Guo Zhengyu: "Although Yanjing Times is dead today, it opens the wisdom of the people, and the will of the new people is born from today. Tang was able to work with several benevolent brothers in his life, although he did not forget it. ”

Several people also shook their heads and said loudly: "Me too." ”

At that moment, Tang Xianzu threw the wine glass on the ground and smashed it.

And so did the people.

Then Tang Xianzu shook Lin Yanchao and said angrily: "Zonghai, I will take the first step, and the court is counting on you to revive the world, don't let our sacrifice be in vain!" ”
