Chapter 246

Chapter 246

After Zhu Yijun received Zhang Juzheng's original text, he naturally agreed.

However, due to the long-standing illness and complicated tasks, Zhang Juzheng has indeed consumed a lot of hard work in these years of reformation, and he himself did not control his sensuality and food in his prime, so after twenty years, Zhang Juzheng's condition is still the same Failed to get better.

When Zhu Yijun sent the eunuch Zhang Jing, the supervisor of ceremonies, to visit Zhang's mansion in person, Zhang Juzheng performed hemorrhoid cutting and treatment because of this, so he could only support the pillow and kowtow to thank the emperor for his kindness, but could not get up.

Hemorrhoids are mostly caused by sitting for a long time, which leads to poor Qi and blood, and a large amount of venous blood accumulates into blood clots.

Zhang Juzheng got the disease at this time, which was not as expected by Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun just didn't know whether Zhang Juzheng's intestinal disease was limited to the anorectum.

But obviously, Zhang Juzheng's long-term sedentary disease not only caused anorectal problems, so after he recovered, according to Li Shizhen, his spleen and stomach were still weak, he didn't think about eating, his limbs were weak, and he couldn't move an inch.

Zhang Juzheng also had to ask for leave for more than [-] days.

Zhu Yijun still approved it, but without Zhang Juzheng's court, everyone began to feel restless.

Although Zhu Yijun would still insist on participating in lectures, readings and viewings, he could no longer concentrate and listen to the already clamoring Confucian classics.

And the lecturers are even more restless than him. After all, those who can go to the imperial court to be lecturers must be Zhang Juzheng's own people. They are either worried about Zhang Juzheng's health, or they are all worried that if Zhang Juzheng really dies, will they be in the official career? It will be greatly affected, or both.

It's just that the former is out of friendship, and the latter is out of self-interest.

Zhang Juzheng suddenly became seriously ill. For the entire Zhang Party, it was undoubtedly an earthquake.

This made many officials panic and uneasy.

According to the reports Zhu Yijun received from Changwei, the ministers of the six ministries, the nine courts and the five mansions, and the princes and princes all set up sacrifices to pray for gods and seek medical treatment; His fellow villagers and disciples were old friends, and he was even uneasy to the point of bribing his slaves heavily to inquire about Zhang Juzheng's condition.

However, Zhu Yijun didn't find out that Manchao was secretly delighted that Zhang Juzheng was seriously ill, and even looked forward to Zhang Juzheng's death.

It seems that both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were very worried about Zhang Juzheng's illness.

"Don't forget your form at this time, keep calm!"

"It is not only to prevent the emperor from seeing through us as soon as possible, but also to let the emperor only see the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but he only knows that there is Zhang Jiangling in the world, but he does not know that there is His Majesty. In this way, Zhang Jiangling cannot be tolerated."

The official residence compound.

Zhang Siwei raised his eyebrows slightly in the courtyard, whispered to Zhang Sijiao, and whispered: "Especially you, don't accept the flattery of those villains now just because I am the second assistant."

Zhang Sijiao replied: "I know, my brother has already scolded five people like this, and personally threatened to fast and pray for him in Jiangling."

Zhang Siwei nodded obediently, and then said loudly: "Okay, I'll take you to visit Yuansuke right now, lest you, like me, worry about it every day."

"Thank you brother."

Zhang Sijiao replied.

"Cifu is really diligent in visiting Jiangling."

"I don't know whether to wish him old, or wish him to live."

Wang Guoguang was in the mansion park at this time, and he couldn't help talking to Fang Fengshi and other ministers who were walking with him.

Fang Fengshi knew that Wang Guoguang didn't want to talk about Zhang Juzheng's death, so he called death an old man, and at this moment he couldn't help saying: "Whether it's true or not, at least now that Yuanfu is ill, the whole country is really like a reed in the wind. If he really wants to grow old at this point, there will be troubles in the court again."

"Yes! A period may be ending."

Zhang Xueyan, who was also here, echoed at this time.

Wang Guoguang said: "Whether he is sick or not, it should be over. Your Majesty has grown up. If you are a country, if your Majesty does not doubt it, the whole world will doubt it! After all, he is not a Prime Minister, but a Prime Minister."

As he said that, Wang Guoguang said: "It's just a pity that if the restructuring is complete, it can be said that it is complete. At least it can go to the step of canceling the preferential exemption for gentry. I didn't expect it."

"But if it is not completed, it can be said that it is not completed. After all, the commercial tax system has not yet been reformed. According to the data from the census, the businessmen in the world account for the majority. Especially after the opening of the sea, there are so many merchants. It is no longer suitable to be borne by farmers only, not to mention that farming depends on the weather and the climate is too heavy! Reforming business taxes will help the court reduce the impact of catastrophe on fiscal and taxation."

"It's a pity, but it's not easy at this point!"

"Taking advantage of this time when the sea is clear and the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, it is better to prepare to retire to the forest, and leave something for those who come later."

"It's rare to have perfect things in the world. If you can be half full, you should be content!"

Fang Fengshi nodded, started talking, and then turned around and walked back.

Zhang Xueyan and Wang Guoguang turned around and followed.

Zhang Xueyan said at this time: "I just don't know if His Majesty will continue to reform the system. At the beginning, Nanzhi falsely accused the military and guards. Was it Yuanfu's intention or His Majesty's intention? Will you use us?"

"We are all traitorous ministers of the Zhang Party in the eyes of most scholars, do you still dare to use it?!"

Fang Fengshi asked back with a smile at this time, and then said: "When you need to retreat, you must retreat!"

Zhang Juzheng's sudden illness obviously made the reformist ministers also retreat and hesitate.

And because Zhang Juzheng's condition did not improve, he went to Shushu on the ninth day of June to ask Emperor Zhu Yijun to allow him to resign and return to his hometown.

"If I don't ask for retirement early today, I will definitely not survive. His Majesty Fu Wang will give you the bones as soon as possible, and return to the village alive, so that the fallen leaves can return to their roots."

Zhu Yijun's eye sockets became moist.

In history, Zhu Yijun did not agree, but in this life, Zhu Yijun did not want to seize the fallen leaves and return to their roots, but personally held a vermilion pen and approved the "approval".

Then, Zhu Yijun took this Zhu copy and came to the chief assistant mansion in person.

According to Li Youzi's design, there is a dedicated royal road for the emperor in the mansion compound, and the layout of the royal road is very confidential, so when the emperor comes to Zhang's mansion, other officials in the mansion will not know.

When Zhu Yijun was about to enter the chief assistant's mansion, Zhang Jingxiu, who had known the news in advance, came and knelt down in front of Zhu Yijun: "I didn't know that His Majesty came in person, but I never greeted him from afar. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Stay flat, sir, how is it now?"

Zhu Yijun asked as he spoke.

Zhang Jingxiu's eyes turned red: "Physician Li said, it depends on whether we can survive this winter."

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but have a sore nose after hearing this: "Take me to see Mr., don't let anyone bother you, and don't let anyone know that I'm here."

Zhang Jingxiu clapped his hands and said yes.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun hurriedly walked to Zhang Juzheng's bed under the leadership of Zhang Jingxiu.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng was propping his pillow on a table placed on the floor, writing with trembling fingers.

What I wrote was all about what Zhu Yijun asked him to do about establishing a new idea of ​​​​governing the country.

If governing a country needs to seek truth from facts, it cannot be based entirely on ancestral system; it needs to have the concept of country and nation, and why it should pay attention to benefiting the people of the country.

The new theory of governing the country is not a simple project.

It needs to be logically rigorous, and it needs to be explained based on the popular universal thought of this era. Simply put, it is to reform the system from the past, so that people can know why the country is governed in this way, whether it is in line with the way of the sage, and whether it is the true knowledge that the sage wants to pass on. .

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng had to work hard on this.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng's body is really weak, so the writing is very big, and it didn't take long for the maid to replace it with a new blank paper. To regain consciousness.

At this time, Li Shizhen twirled the needle and looked at it, and said: "Why does Yuanfu need to bother so much anymore? If you have anything to say, you can let someone else write it for you. Like you, even if I am reincarnated as Hua Tuo, it will not help!"

"It's not that the servant does not obey Dr. Li's doctor's orders. In fact, these words can only be written by myself, otherwise no one would dare to say such words!"

Zhang Juzheng said with an apologetic and breathless smile.

"Father, Your Majesty is here."

And at this moment, Zhang Jingxiu came in and called out.

Bang!

Zhang Juzheng's pen fell on the table immediately, and he was stunned in place.

The monarch, ministers, teachers and students hadn't seen each other for several months. To Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng, seeing each other suddenly at this time was considered an important meeting.

What Zhang Juzheng didn't expect was that Zhu Yijun would come to see him in person.
