Just a few days after the news of Zhang Juzheng's father's death spread, things have moved so fast that they are close to getting out of control.

Zhang Juzheng was in a dilemma, he could not be quiet, but Feng Bao absolutely couldn't sit still, followed by Empress Dowager Li, who felt that she was going to lose her backbone.

Naturally, when Zhang Juzheng went to the court to return to his hometown to guard filial piety, the emperor issued an edict to seize love, Zhang Juzheng refused several times, and finally accepted it smoothly.

At least in Chen Mu's opinion, Zhang Juzheng's determination to return to his hometown to keep filial piety was still very firm at first.

All dynasties and dynasties have respected filial piety to rule the world, even Zhang Juzheng did not dare to open this mouth, not to mention that he is also a scholar, and the common feelings of these ordinary legal persons are not exempt from vulgarity.

If Zhang Juzheng had been born earlier, it would have been okay if he didn't keep his filial piety, but just a few decades ago, Yang Tinghe, the father of Yang Shen, the author of "Linjiang Immortal", also experienced the first assistant of the Four Dynasties, and no matter how the emperor retained, he put down his power and returned to his hometown to guard filial piety for three years, and was cited as a model.

People often compare Zhang Juzheng with Yang Tinghe, because he was also a reformer who eliminated the old evils, and offended no less enemies than Zhang Juzheng, and some people even planned to assassinate him on the way to Yang Tinghe and the last dynasty.

The emperor's first edict for the love was: "Quasi-seven-seven, not with the court." ”

This edict was to let him set up a mourning hall in his Beijing mansion, and he did not have to go to court for forty-nine days.

Immediately afterwards, after Zhang Juzheng resigned, he issued a second edict: "I am in the year of the arch and the arch is Yangcheng, and I can't leave the Qing in an instant, and I can stay for three years?" ”

In fact, Chen Mu, who was far away in Beiyang, Tianjin, felt that at this moment, Zhang Juzheng's return to his hometown to guard filial piety was the best choice for himself.

In the world, there are those who hide good fields, and they are pulled out by the acres of clear fields; Those who have their hands up and down are stopped by a whip; There are those who are derelict in their duties, and they are driven crazy by the test method.

Coupled with the open and secret struggle for power and profit, he has offended too many people, who else can stand by his side?

Seeing the wind, if the helmsman is beneficial to him in the exchange of benefits, he will also use it, but look down on it.

God's middle-aged contempt has never been hiding behind his back and saying bad things, he will really look down on the bright side, even if these people are promoted, they will not stand with him.

The only ones left are those ministers who are upright enough to serve the country.

This time, however, these traditional scholars will oppose the love grabbing, which will put him on the opposite side of everyone.

Zhang Juzheng has always been very politically talented and well versed in the means of struggle, but this time is different from all his previous struggles, and the embarrassing situation of being criticized makes him unable to take measures as in the past, and he is extremely passive.

Neither advance nor retreat.

Chen Mu knew that the emperor had issued two edicts in a row on the eighth day of Juniper's return, and the palace sent Chen Ju to say that the emperor had summoned him to the palace, and at the same time brought the third edict of the little emperor to Zhang Juzheng.

"I can't face each other for days, and I feel like I've lost something."

Where is this edict? It's clearly a love letter.

In the school field outside the yamen of the Beiyang Military Mansion, the entourage Wu Ben stretched the guard very far, and the brocade clothes that came with the eunuchs also withdrew twenty steps, and Chen Ju, who was walking slowly side by side with Chen Mu, twisted out a rock candy from the jade belt waist bag and put it in his mouth, gently swallowed it for a moment, and said: "The courtiers have made some moves, we don't know what the emperor's grandfather summoned Jing Haibo to inquire, but a few days ago, a comet came out of the sky. ”

"Comet?"

Chen Mu was wearing a scarlet solid color lion dark pattern robe, the hem of the robe was pinned to his waist from left to right, his hands were inserted in the trouser pockets of the military uniform's breeches, and his steps stopped.

He likes his trouser pockets too much, and he didn't know where to put his hands except for holding the jade belt of the official robe in the past, so he specially asked the clothing factory to make a set of cavalry uniforms for himself, so that this trouser pocket could have a place to put his hands.

Chen Ju, who was holding rock sugar, was extremely unaccustomed to Chen Mu's grinning way of dressing, which was too unsightly, not because of the military uniform breeches or the single robe in the dark pattern outside, but mainly because Chen Mu wore a plain satin short and middle coat under the crimson medium robe, that is, the white blouse he wore when he slept.

This way of wearing the robe into the jade belt around the waist is a habit of this era, people will lift the robe like this when riding a horse, but for comfort, Chen Mu's middle coat is not tied in the waistband of breeches, which causes his hand to be exposed when he puts his hand in his pocket, revealing a crimson and white color...... It's like exposing your underwear to the outside, what a tasteless way to dress!

"yes, Comet." Chen Ju shook his head worriedly with rock candy, and he didn't know whether he was worried about the comet or Lord Chen's taste in dressing, and said, "It's really not the right time to come!" ”

Since ancient times, comets have been regarded as a sign of impending disaster, so they are also called broom stars.

"Perhaps, the emperor summoned me to the palace for this matter."

Chen Mu nodded slightly, although no one called him a 'scientist' in this era, but in the emperor's heart, he had long left the impression that he knew astronomy and geography, and that everything could be explained by a new set of theories.

The emperor did not come to him to discuss how to do things, and he did not get there, but the emperor mostly wanted him to give an explanation to convince the courtiers - what a comet was.

"Since the funeral of the old father of the cabinet, the imperial history Zeng Shichu and the officials have all asked Chen Sanmo to stay in the matter, and the Manchu Dynasty and it, only Wu Zhongxing played a painful criticism, and before entering the book, he also replied to the white pavilion elder." Chen Ju chewed the last bit of rock candy left in his mouth, and said sarcastically: "Wu Zhongxing, as well as Zhao Yongxian, Zhang Ge is always their master. ”

"After Zhao Yongxian, there are also Ai Mu and Shen Sixiao, all of whom have been promoted by Jiangling, and the masters were stunned when they heard that the elder Ge saw the reply, and they didn't expect it to be like this at all."

"This matter is not over yet, you go to Beijing with us now, it is best to simply live in the capital in the next few days, there is still a big drama in the court, these four people are going to be battled in the court!" Chen Ju took out another grain of rock candy, and before he could stuff it into his mouth, Chen Mu raised his hand to intercept it, and said, "I ate too many bad teeth." ”

Chen Ju glanced at Chen Mu, he didn't know bad teeth? He has several black teeth, but what can he do with bad teeth, that is, he wants to eat!

In the end, he listened to the persuasion, didn't stuff sugar into his mouth again, and said: "Take off your pants and big ass, I don't know how much to beat, I heard that it seems to be eighty, this matter is always a little ruthless, but we don't think it's strange, those people are hiding needles in the music with sinister intentions." ”

"Then what did Zhao Yongxian say, yes, I secretly felt strange, Zhang Juzheng could be loyal to the monarch and ministers for several years, but he couldn't be dedicated to the relationship between father and son. I secretly felt strange that Zhang Juzheng's fame had been accumulated over several years, but His Majesty had let it be ruined. It is better to be like Yang Pu and Li Xian in the previous dynasty, let him go back to mourn temporarily, and come back to fill the vacancy on a specified date, so that their father and son, who have not seen each other for 19 years, can slightly relieve the pain in their hearts at the moment when they are crying in the coffin. ”

"He's weird!" Chen Ju clapped his hands together as he spoke: "The loss of my father is already a great sorrow for people, and it is still played like this by my colleagues or my own students, doesn't it make people feel more painful?" ”
