The mouth cannon failed.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Zhang Han has been unaccustomed to Zhang Juzheng for a long time, and it is not something that Chen Mu can say in a few words.

If you really want to talk about hatred, Zhang Han and Zhang Juzheng are far from it, but in the past time together, Zhang Han had a grudge against Zhang Juzheng's monopoly on power, and Zhang Juzheng was also unwilling to Zhang Han, who should have been on his side this time.

The old man is not the kind of person who has much ambition, if this matter is high, persuasion may still work, but here in Zhang Han, persuasion is useless.

The next day, the court discussed, the four Hanlin who should have been beaten outside the palace gate were not beaten, and the emperor did not plan to mention it, but Wang Xijue, the dean of Hanlin who couldn't stand it in his heart, took the lead in asking the emperor to think about the matter of seizing love, and let the four young Hanlin go first.

Not to mention, Chen Mu, who was standing in the current court, saw that the little emperor had a reserved smile on the corner of his mouth, and seemed to be trying his best to enjoy this moment of freedom, although the Empress Dowager Li hung the curtain, but Zhang Juzheng, who was really in charge, was not there, and the Empress Dowager gave the little emperor enough face in the court, and asked the emperor what he thought in advance.

This kind of smile belongs to the courtiers who have their own thoughts and feel unfathomable, and the other few people will only feel stupid.

Chen Mu belongs to the latter, and he knows very well that this is the feeling that the emperor is looking for pro-government.

Since the death of the old lady of the Zhang family, Chen Mu met the little emperor and heard him say "pro-government", "wait for him to be pro-government", and "Mr. Zhang will return to government" several times, which has never been the case before.

The little emperor's impatience just shows that Chen Mu's cultivation of the sense of imperial honor has achieved initial results by knocking on the ground several times.

Xiao Wanli didn't pay attention to Wang Xijue at all, and smiled and asked Uncle Wang to stand back to the court, as if it was not him who angrily issued an edict a few days ago to beat these four Hanlin to death, and symbolically asked about the recent situation of Beiyang military training, Jizhen and Liaodong military affairs, and then ordered the six officials in turn to ask about politics.

From the local examination of the Ministry of Officials, the budget and taxation of the Ministry of Households, the funeral pension of the hometown of the Ministry of Rites and the tributary arrangements of various countries, to the river water conservancy of the Ministry of Industry.

By the time he had finished his addiction to being the emperor, the early dynasty had already worked until noon, and the court officials at the front of the court class were no longer able to continue to stand and listen to the court's discussions, and the emperor asked the eunuchs to bring chairs for a group of old men to sit and listen.

It's okay on the military attaché's side, but even if the young officials stand all morning, they can't hold back, and from time to time there are a few stomach rumbling sounds, and the emperor doesn't know how hungry he is when he is young, and he listens to it with relish, and from time to time he says a few useless nonsense words with foresight,

Chen Mu was in a good state of mind, and he watched the old man Zhang Han and others at the front were given chairs by the emperor to sit and listen to the court discussion, he was not in the military attache column or the civil official rank, standing with a group of unlucky nobles, it was just a matter of not mixing in the chairs, and some people kept muttering, the emperor in front kept chattering, and the head Xungui also whispered in the back, which made the court discussion even more chaotic.

It wasn't until someone gave a copy to the emperor on the pretext of passing on a leave of absence that the emperor threw it on the ground, which made the court class quiet.

Xiao Wanli didn't move, just sneered slightly, and said to Zhang Whale, who picked up the notebook: "Read, read it out loud, let all the princes of the court listen to it, whose leave is this!" ”

This would have been the day before yesterday, and I am afraid that the emperor would have jumped up in anger, but now he is not angry.

Anger comes from being dissatisfied with the reality and having no means to change, and now Wanli, who is easy at the moment, already has the means to toss others, and if he wants to hold it in his heart, he will naturally not be angry again.

Zhang Whale originally built the Song Shu that was thrown on the ground and trembled, knelt down to pick up the Song Shu, and at the request of the emperor, he just opened Song Shu's eyes and straightened up, looked up at the emperor, looked down at Song Shu, and stiffened there and did not dare to get up or read it.

Until Wanli urged again: "Read it out, read it out loud." ”

"Your Majesty Mingjian, do you think that Zhang Juzheng is really beneficial to the country? Although Zhang Juzheng has made a difference in talent, his academic foundation is not the right way; Although his ambitions are ambitious, he is too self-serving. ”

It was difficult for Zhang Whale to read this letter hard, and his intestines were blue with regret in his heart, he knew that the letter was written with these things, not to mention a little silver tael, even if he held a gold brick and stuffed it to himself, he didn't dare to accept it - you Zou Yuanbiao is a disciple of Wang Xuezhen's true biography, and it is not nonsense to say that Zhang Juzheng's academic foundation is not the right way?

The little eunuch looked at the emperor with frightened eyes, but saw the emperor smiling and nodding, and did not forget to turn his head and whisper something to the Empress Dowager Li who was hanging the curtain, so he raised his hand and said: "Keep reading, don't stop if I don't speak." ”

"His, some of his policies and measures are unreasonable, such as the number of students enrolled in the state and county, which is limited to fifteen or sixteen. In order to cater to his wishes, the relevant government offices have even reduced the number, which is not a wide way to select talents. ”

"There are also a certain number of prisoners sentenced in various places, and the relevant departments are afraid of being punished, so they must pursue a surplus in the number, which is the implementation of punishment too unrestrained."

"The minister took the money, took the money and lived secretly, the minister was afraid of being convicted and kept silent, some people stated their opinions today, but they were condemned tomorrow, this is the way up and down the speech is not smooth."

"The Yellow River is overflowing, and some people use grassland as their home and drink water to satisfy their hunger, but the relevant departments turn a deaf ear, which means that the people's suffering has not been relieved."

"Others, such as the brutal appointment of officials and the burial of outstanding talents, are too numerous to mention. The minister respectfully read the emperor's edict, which said: Your Majesty's studies have not yet been completed, and your ambition has not yet been determined, so Sir has left Your Majesty, and all previous achievements have been wasted. ”

"Your Majesty is really an endless blessing to the country when he says this. But even so, the people who assisted in completing the emperor's studies and helping to establish the emperor's ambitions cannot be said to be absent from the imperial court! ”

"Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng suffered the death of his parents, and he can still be saved, if he unfortunately passes away, His Majesty's studies will never be completed? Isn't it true that ambitions are uncertain after all? The minister saw Zhang Juzheng's superiors and said: There are extraordinary people in the world first, and then they can do extraordinary things. ”

"This is a person who sees mourning as a thing and does not bother to do it. Who doesn't know that people can only be called human beings if they abide by the five moral ethics of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom and faith. Now this person, when his parents are alive, he doesn't take care of him, he doesn't go to the funeral when his parents die, and he boasts that he is extraordinary, and the people of the world don't think that he has lost his conscience, so he thinks that he is a pig, dog, and beast, can this be called an extraordinary person? ”

"The minister said such a thing on the song, and he will probably be severely punished, and the minister's punishment department observes that Zou Yuanbiao is ready to accept the punishment, and he hopes that His Majesty can listen to it in his heart."

After reading it, the courtiers were silent, Zhang Whale was about to cry while holding the edict, and Wang Xijue, the dean of Hanlin, wanted to cry without tears - he worked hard to save the four Hanlin from prison, which is good, with this letter, even if the four people were not a big deal, they are now in trouble.

Although Wang Xijue felt that Zou Yuanbiao's words were correct, he couldn't say that.

"Hee-hee!"

In the terrible silence, the little emperor covered his mouth and smiled on the dragon chair, as if he had eaten fruit, he couldn't hide his joy, he was almost overjoyed, his little hand reached out of the big sleeves of the sun and moon robe, and asked the ministers excitedly: "Is there anything else, like this-the queen mother is a little restless, and the son can see and hear such a recital, doesn't it mean that the speech is smooth?" ”

"There are ministers who don't have such thoughts, take advantage of today to stand up and let me see, and quickly speak up for me to hear!"
