Chen Mu has carefully pondered the Ming Dynasty emperor, and Emperor Jiajing is a very obvious watershed.

Before Jiajing, from Emperor Taizu to Ming Wuzong, these emperors all had a kind of pride in the sky, or more or less extroverted wildness.

Maybe their centralization is not so good, but the state apparatus is working well, and a big defeat like the one in the Tumber Fort will not be too much of a problem.

But since Emperor Jiajing, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty began to be more and more introverted, more and more centralized, but they lost the pioneering and enterprising spirit of their ancestors, and became super controlling, and they also had a very serious tendency to be homely.

However, the middle-aged god regarded Emperor Sejong as a model for Mingjun and took this set to teach Wanli.

Fortunately, Chen Xue still seems to have a lot of temptation for emperors of this age.

Leaving the Forbidden City this time, Chen Mu was taken out of the palace from Donghua Gate by a little eunuch named Zhang Whale wearing eunuch clothes.

He was instilling in Xiao Wanli the old cliché that the emperor should personally take charge of military power and that the ruler of the three-point world needed to have a complete understanding of the world, and the eunuch guarding outside the Qianqing Palace came to report that Zhang Juzheng asked to meet the emperor, which scared Xiao Wanli into sweat.

Covered with a sun and moon robe, hid Chen Mu in the ear room and asked people to take him out, and meet Zhang Juzheng in the dormitory by himself.

It wasn't until Chen Mu walked out of the palace awkwardly in eunuch clothes that he wondered in his heart: The emperor was afraid of Zhang Ge Lao without wearing normal clothes, why did he pull him into the water, he could appear in the Qianqing Palace generously!

It was the little emperor who set up a combat research room by himself, and he didn't teach it, is it necessary to be like a thief?

"Sir, I see that you are kind-hearted, and you are deeply valued by the emperor's grandfather." The eunuch Zhang Whale is also regarded as Wanli's close attendant, although he is not a cronie, but Zhang Hong's people, if Zhang Hong and Wang An are compared to Xiao Wanli's right-hand men, this is a little finger, and when the two of them walked out of the palace gate, they asked in a low voice: "Ask you about something?" ”

Zhang Whale is not ugly, even among the generally thin little eunuchs, he is quite good-looking, his eyes are also very flexible, and he looks like he can do things, especially this self-proclaimed, it sounds like he has no respect for Chen Mu.

"Talking as you go? I'll go back to the house to change my clothes, and you just have someone deliver the clothes to the house later. ”

"Hey!"

Seeing that Chen Mu agreed, Zhang Whale nodded and beckoned a few captains in brocade clothes to block Chen Ye tightly from others, and ordered someone to send Chen Mu's clothes to the mansion later, only then fell behind a little, and whispered: "In the past few days, the court has been moving a lot because of His Majesty's love affair, and the cane is scolding sixty or seventy, which is to beat people to death, if it is lighter......"

The little eunuch's eyes rolled, his voice became quieter, and he said, "It doesn't affect the overall situation, right?" ”

"Yo, father-in-law, this is a great power." Chen Mu glanced at Zhang Whale with a smile, this little finger can still affect the court battle, he squinted and asked, "Have you received other people's money?" ”

"No, no, someone did come to beg, Lord Bingxue." Zhang Whale didn't dare to admit that he had accepted a bribe, but when he saw Chen Mu's eyes looking over, he didn't dare to be stubborn, and smiled awkwardly: "The little one is also to honor the emperor's grandfather, just grandpa's military mansion, Shangyi."

The prison insisted on fifty taels to be made for the small one, and then it was offered to the emperor. ”

Fifty taels?

The Beiyang Quilt Factory's military uniform jacket is four and five cents, breeches are four and two cents, and leather belt is three cents, even if the saber and handcuffs are all counted, fifty taels are enough for a small flag.

Are prices in the Forbidden City already so high?

"Look at it all, it's not good for your father-in-law to beat it lightly, but you can rest assured that you can accept the silver, just don't beat it to death." In fact, Chen Mu felt that Zhang Juzheng, who had given his father seven years at this time, was entering the Forbidden City, and the emperor had already done a good job, and the court staff behind him might not be able to fight, but this little eunuch would not be in the way of receiving some silver, he said: "As long as it doesn't harm their lives, it's enough for them to be grateful to their father-in-law." ”

"Thank you for the order, so that the one who rushed to find a fight, the little one also got his wish."

Zhang Whale's whispering was heard by Chen Mu, and asked in surprise: "Is there anyone else who is in a hurry to find a fight?" ”

"Well, there is a junior officer of the new science and technology department, observing government affairs in the criminal department, called Zou Yuanbiao or what, he wants to play the handbook but is afraid of being killed, so he asks someone to find a small one and wants to ask for a favor to raise his hand and save his life, so he dares to play the handbook."

Wit!

Emotionally, Chen Mu actually supported the courtiers to impeach Zhang Juzheng for affection, since he governed the country with morality, he had to accept this rule, just like Zhang Juzheng knew in his heart, with a huge moral stain, it is not difficult to imagine the future end.

But in the current environment, Chen Mu does not agree with their approach, especially Chen Mu still has a little conspiracy theory in his head, these people who impeach Zhang Juzheng are both dedicated to the public and selfish.

This one, for example, is very intelligent, has a strong desire to perform, and is very bold.

The problem lies in the fact that Zhang Juzheng cannot be distinguished simply by loyal ministers or traitorous ministers, he is a strong minister.

There is a precedent in history, Huo Guang, a strong minister in the Han Dynasty, the country was governed very well, but there are always unexpected moves, such as "this emperor can't change his career." ”

The emperor who was replaced was called the Marquis of Haidu, and later the tomb was opened, and a pile of gold and copper coins were buried with it.

"This is a smart man, and my father-in-law will do me a favor?"

Zhang Whale may be thinking about how much silver he can squeeze out of these beaten court officials, when he heard Chen Mu say this, he turned his head in confusion, and then hurriedly nodded and said: "Sir, please say, as long as the small ones can do it!" ”

"My father-in-law must know that this court is different from the palace, there are more smart people in the palace, and it is a good thing to please His Majesty; As for the court outside the palace, these ministers all have to do things, it is enough to be talented, it is not good to be mediocre, but it is not a good thing to be too smart. Chen Mu said and turned his head to look at Zhang Whale and said, "This person is too smart, he is aggressive." ”

"If you don't fight people, others will fight you if they see you as too smart, if the courtiers are busy fighting each other all day long, where can there be a good life in the world, and Your Majesty is not comfortable in the palace."

"It's not difficult to ask my father-in-law to do something, but it's very laborious, and I have nothing to do to blow some wind for Your Majesty, and in the future, I will be like this smart person." Chen Mu squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "If you put it overseas, you can use their aggressive talent over there." ”

Zhang Whale didn't quite understand what Chen Mu was trying to express, but it didn't hinder him, and he smiled: "Don't worry, sir, this matter is wrapped up in the little one!" We don't have any other skills, it's just that Your Majesty is close to you, if the lord has anything to say in the future, send someone to send a message to the little one, and the little one will help the lord tell His Majesty! ”

"This is a great help, Chen is grateful to his father-in-law! Looking back, if there is something new in the East, I sent someone to send it to my father-in-law, and my father-in-law presented it to His Majesty, thank you. ”/14_14088/
