Chapter 83: Chen Xue
Beijing City, Shiwangfu Street Loess Cushion Road, Water Purification Street, Shuntianfu soap officials shouted and embraced, held high and quiet, avoided, sounded the gong to open the way, the official sedan chair out of the university scholar's mansion, all the way to Dong'anmen Street.
The imperial prime minister in the sedan chair is reading through the light through the window, this imperial textbook written by the minister of Nanyang has been copied by Zhao Shizhen and corrected by Zhang Juzheng, and finally has its current appearance, except for the words he created such as 'core interests' and 'geopolitical conflicts' that are concise and difficult to modify, and basically have changed the book.
When approaching the entrance of the lamp market, Zhang Juzheng glanced at the long street through the car window, there was still a stone tablet in front of the mansion that symbolized the emperor's personal treatment, and the textbook was turned to the last page, which originally wrote the only sentence written by Chen Mu to Zhang Juzheng, because it was unsightly, was deleted after the book was written.
"Please ask the Prime Minister to ask the Ministry of Industry to collect quick-drying and breathable fabrics, Annan Ming Army needs socks, more socks."
Sometimes, in the letters sent to the Shoufu Mansion, the Minister of Nanyang spoke like a child who had lost his mind.
Zhang Juzheng has always thought that Qi Jiguang, who guards Jizhen Town, has done his best in taking care of the living of soldiers, but when he handed over Chen Mu's seemingly stupid letter to Qi Jiguang, Qi Shuai highly appreciated his letter, and even asked the Ministry of War to reformulate the uniform.
Without exception, all the green lights were approved all the way, in fact, this is the second time that the Ministry of War has made changes due to Chen Mu's personal wishes, of course, few people in the Manchu Dynasty know that this will comes from Chen Mu.
This is exactly where Zhang Juzheng is most divine.
In the era of the high arch and even the previous ministers, a question or recital was handed over to the general administration department to sort and send to the cabinet, the first assistant to several sub-assistants to divide the votes, the cabinet ministers will deal with the opinions on the ticket, by the celebrant to the emperor Zhu pen or the emperor personally instructed, after the official document is covered in red, six parts are issued, and the matter is not refuted, so it can be implemented immediately.
Of course, Zhang Juzheng did not change the procedure, but he was very smooth in his monopoly of power, whether it was the cabinet, the celebrant or the six ministries, no one would refute his vote.
In this way, the military department of the Ming Empire added two six-grade Taoists of the Geography Division, and when they didn't know what the mission of the Geography Division under the Ministry of War was, the first task was to collect all kinds of fabrics and select materials that were breathable, quick-drying, and suitable for military uniforms.
"The president is here, let's go down."
Entering the cabinet, the second assistant Lu Tiaoyang, who had been waiting for a long time, got up to greet him, Lu Tiaoyang used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Gong entered the cabinet after being dismissed.
The president in his mouth is Zhang Juzheng, but this is just a joke between them, because after the death of Emperor Longqing, Zhang Juzheng and he studied "Mu Zongshilu", and the two of them served as presidents, but they were delayed due to the war, and they are still in the process of compilation.
Lu Tiaoyang put a ticket on the table, stood at the table, and watched the officials in the cabinet hall go out, so he nudged the ticket and said to Zhang Juzheng: "The celebrant did not put red on the ticket for the additional soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Army to go to Japan, saying that the transfer of money and grain by the household department was not true, and he wanted to return to the household department to refund, and do it according to the will of the celebrant supervisor?" ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Ju didn't distinguish between joy and anger on his face, he didn't even stir his eyebrows, and asked calmly: "Xu Jue approved?" ”
Feng Bao has always been running to his hometown of Baoding Shenzhou since last year, he wants to build a workshop there, Zhang Juzheng has instructed Baoding Governor Sun Piyang to build a workshop on his behalf, but Feng Bao is not at ease; What's more, Feng Bao is still repairing the tomb in his hometown, there is Zhang Juzheng in Beijing, and the power of the celebrant is not important, so he promoted the Gan'er Xu Jue to the Jinyi Wei Governor Tongzhi, and entered the palace to read the chapter and draft the edict.
It was impossible for the Wanli Emperor to approve such a recital, and Zhang Juzheng knew too well the character of the little emperor - the conflict between the old ideas and the new environment was undoubtedly revealed in the young emperor of the Ming Empire.
The emperor was very intelligent.
He grew up watching the armillary sphere, and memorized each country represented by each color on the ball, as long as the Ming Nanyang fleet had been to it and written it in the textbook, he could write down the customs of the countries silently; Familiar with the size gun positions of the Ming Chihai and Liuding Liujia battleships, keep in mind that the arquebusier, flintlock and various artillery guns have parameters; In addition, the emperor's twelve-year-old Qianqiu Festival got a steam engine of his own.
This is not a bad thing, especially after the more heretical ideas in Chen Mu's book have been deleted, Zhang Juzheng really doesn't think it's a bad thing, he has seen Emperor Jiajing who is obsessed with cultivation, compared to being familiar with armaments and interested in the art of war, it is not a bad thing.
But the bad thing is that the emperor not only received the knowledge of the whole world from Nanyang, but also received the best education in the imperial tradition, and the opening was to make the six contracts wind and Kyushu coherent.
It is nothing for a child to say such a thing, and the biggest consequence is nothing more than being accompanied by the white jade steps of the Forbidden City, but recently he has been punished by the Empress Dowager Li more and more frequently.
This is terrifying, when he grows into a real emperor in charge of a huge empire, what does it mean that the six contract winds and Kyushu are coherent?
Years of war!
This is more heretical than the thoughts in Chen Mu's original book, and no one knows better than Zhang Juzheng, Chen Mu just wants to connect the whole world to trade, or shear sheep to become rich and prosperous.
It's good now, it's better to let him learn the original 'Chen Xue'.
Thinking of the emperor, Zhang Juzheng sighed tiredly in the cabinet, he was so worried that his hair fell out because of this.
On this year's Shangyuan Festival, the emperor didn't even look at the lantern festival in Dong'anmen, and he didn't know what to do in the dormitory, and finally was pulled out by the Empress Dowager Li with a large painting without coloring, the whole world map, divided into seven capitals and eighty-two provinces, the names are all good, Madrid is called Xijing, the province of physiology.
Needless to say, the emperor was punished to kneel in Dong'anmen to watch the lantern festival for an hour, and the queen mother's anger was not extinguished after the lantern festival, and she went back to the white jade steps outside the palace to kneel for another hour.
Everyone knelt and fainted, and the Empress Dowager Li's eyes were red for several days.
Every time the chief official of the entire Ming imperial education system thought of the emperor, he couldn't help but reveal a pessimistic mood of 'Daming pill'.
"You don't need to send it to the household department, just leave it as it is, and then send it to the celebrant supervisor."
Not long after Zhang Juzheng finished saying this, a letter from his trusted officials brought back the housekeeper You Qi from outside the palace gate, saying that Xu Jue asked to see him and that Feng Bao had something to ask the master.
Zhang Juzheng knew very well in his heart that this was another exchange of interests, chuckled, and smiled at his cronies and officials: "Go and tell Steward You that he will take the treasured painting as a drink, drink with Commander Xu, and don't forget to tell Commander Xu about Nanyang Chen Shuai." ”
The cabinet officials received the order, and the second assistant Lu Tiaoyang also sent the copied ticket to the celebrant again, but he didn't dare to ask about Feng Bao, and asked Zhang Juzheng with a smile: "What's wrong with Nanyang Chen Shuai?" ”
It seems that when people mention Chen Mu, they have become accustomed to adding the word 'again'.
"He wants to transfer the brocade clothes and guards, just talk to Xu Jue first, I will report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be happy about this matter, but I will wait - I have to worry!"
