Chapter 108

Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "I have never forgotten my master's words. I haven't lost practice in calligraphy and fitness. I often use crispy cheese and walnuts in the house. Now I grow taller. It must be because of this."

As he said that, Zhu Yijun said again: "Mr., this trip is full of loyalty and filial piety."

"When I think about the black bird's personal love, if it is not a holy and kind song, how can it be achieved. The gratitude of the picture can't be expressed, but it can only be engraved in the heart."

At this time Zhang Juzheng bowed his hands and replied.

Zhu Yijun said: "It's a long journey in summer, sir, it's hard work from afar."

"Thanks to His Majesty's understanding, but I have violated the limit and exceeded the holiday, so I apologize to Your Majesty."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun said: "No problem!"

Then, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "I'm very happy to see you come. The Holy Mother of the Two Palaces is also happy. How can you blame me? If you violate the limit, you should be forgiven."

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly kowtowed his head to thank him, and after Zhu Yijun ordered him again, he said: "The minister is far away from the court, and it has been three months in a sudden, but the heart of a dog and a horse has not been at your majesty's side for a day. I don't want to see the sky again today, and I heard the mercy of the Holy Mother." I bow to all blessings, and my ministers cannot celebrate."

After the rise of Li Lixue, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers tended to be more like that of master and servant.

Therefore, when Zhang Juzheng talked to Zhu Yijun in the open, he would still compare himself to a dog and a horse, and he would try his best to talk to Zhu Yijun in a humble manner.

After all, Zhu Yijun is a king, and a king is like a father, and a minister is like a son. Although Zhu Yijun can call him a gentleman, he must not forget his duty as a courtier, and should show a humble and fearful attitude.

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing that Zhang Juzheng also expressed his concern for him, the monarch and the queen mother, and said: "Mr. is loyal and loving, I know."

Then, Zhu Yijun asked again: "Is Li Min safe?"

Zhang Juzheng replied: "When the officials from all over the world come to see you, the ministers must pay tribute to His Majesty's intention of protecting the people and admonishing them earnestly, so that they will love and support the people. Everything that is practical should not be empty words. The ministers see that all the officials respect the law carefully, It is really different from the previous years. Therefore, the people of the Li people are grateful, and they all live and work in peace and contentment, and there is really a sense of peace."

Zhu Yijun asked again: "How are things going?"

Zhang Juzheng replied again: "Yesterday on the way, I saw the governors, governors, and commanders-in-chief of Shanxi and Shaanxi. They had a secret report saying that the captive chieftain, Ida, went west and was defeated by Luo Dazi (Wala tribe) and suffered a lot of damage. I replied that I was only spared. Although the truth of this matter is unknown, but according to my expectations, the captive chieftains were really defeated. The struggle between barbarians and Didi will benefit the dynasty. This is because your Majesty's mighty virtue spreads far and wide, so the border is safe. Shiyi guest clothes."

Zhu Yijun just smiled slightly, and said, "It's thanks to your assistance."

"Your Majesty, although I was defeated by Wala, it should not be underestimated. The tribute should be the same as before, so that it can check and balance with Wala."

Zhang Juzheng guided Zhu Yijun again.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Sir, that's what you said."

Most of the above were conversations that Zhu Yijun had arranged in advance through Shen Li, the official of daily life, and only then did Zhu Yijun take out Yin Zhengmao's memorial and Dongchang's secret report and said:

"Mr. has worked hard along the way. After seeing you today, I will rest at home for ten days before entering the pavilion. By the way, I will take a look at these two chapters. I will listen to sir's reply."

Zhang Juzheng thanked him and accepted two chapters.

Suddenly, Zhang Juzheng was secretly surprised when he saw that he had the foundation of Dongchang.

It turned out that after Yin Zhengmao saw the list of the military selection department of the Ministry of War, he directly reported to the emperor, saying that the civil servants of the military selection department were too much!

Because his old department was dismissed and transferred to the Northwest, [-]% of them!

Including some who gave money, they were also transferred to the Northwest in the name of promotion!It is difficult to carry out the reform of the Southwest in a short period of time.

The key point is that the newly transferred officials such as Qianhu and Commander Qian of the Weisuo did not know how to deal with the conflicts between Han and Yi, and even exacerbated the conflicts between Han and Yi, which made the chieftain expand.

And Zhu Yijun also asked Dongchang to investigate for several months, and learned that not only many middle- and lower-level generals in Southwest China were transferred, but also middle-lower-level generals in Zhejiang were changed over and over again.

Many military generals who were selected as officials of the local guards because of their meritorious service against the Japanese in the past were all promoted and surrendered secretly, and the new governor of Zhejiang Li Xuan was involved. .

This made Zhu Yijun have to suspect that these people were planning some kind of conspiracy, and just after Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing, he told Zhang Juzheng what Yin Zhengmao had played and what Dongchang had found out.

Because whether it is Li Xuan, Li Cai or Qin Yao, they are all Zhang Juzheng's confidants, and Li Xuan is the in-law of Zhang Juzheng's slave Youqi.

Moreover, Zhu Yijun also knew that after Zhang Juzheng's own henchmen obviously gained power, especially after he was robbed, it was inevitable that a large number of unprincipled villains would come to power.

Although these people will not stick to the etiquette system, ask Zhang Juzheng to seize his love, and even support Zhang Juzheng's being taken away for his own career, and cheer for Zhang Juzheng's being taken away, but they will also take the initiative to corrupt because they have no principles, and even He harbored evil intentions and deliberately ruined the entire New Deal by joining Zhang Juzheng's reformist faction.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun told Zhang Juzheng about these two things, hoping that Zhang Juzheng could clean up the door, so as to ensure that the next New Deal would not be out of shape.

In addition, he also hopes that this can prevent him, the emperor, from inheriting Zhang Juzheng's political resources in the future, and also inheriting a group of treacherous people who have no principles and ideals.

After returning home, Zhang Juzheng looked at the investigation of Dongchang first, slapped the table heavily, and shouted: "Call You Qilai!"

Zhang Jingxiu agreed after hearing this: "Yes!"

"Wait!"

Zhang Juzheng calmed down quickly, and stopped Zhang Jingxiu, saying: "It's not appropriate to call him, and don't tell him what happened today, you should investigate secretly first, what did he do behind our backs, and who are the dignitaries with whom The gentry have contacts!"

Zhang Juzheng said, "All his servants are married to the governor, you and I don't even know!"

Zhang Jingxiu didn't show any surprise, but just said yes.

Seeing that his son was so calm, Zhang Juzheng felt more at ease, so he instructed: "You should watch out for the family affairs, for the father, after all, you are the eldest son in the family."

"Son understands!"

After Zhang Jingxiu returned, he said, "Father, Yin Shibo has a letter."

As Zhang Jingxiu said, he took out Yin Zhengmao's private letter from his sleeve, handed it to Zhang Juzheng and said, "According to your instructions, I will personally collect and keep all private letters above the governor's level. No one is allowed to open them first. Please check."

The chief minister of the Ming Dynasty mostly relied on private letters and exchanges with his disciples to govern, and Zhang Juzheng was no exception, so he established a special letter receiving system in the mansion.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng saw that Yin Zhengmao's letter had not been opened, so he nodded and took the letter, opened it, and read it first.

Yin Zhengmao said in the letter: "Yuanfu sincerely, because of Gao Xinzheng's proposal, the subordinates had to change from the prime minister to the government. However, if this is to be done, it is necessary to strengthen the army and save money! In this way, when To curb the disadvantages of military ministers eating empty salaries, and the root cause of military officials eating empty salaries is that the civil servants who are in charge of their promotion are too greedy!"

"Therefore, the subordinates have to tell His Majesty that Li Cai is greedy and the crux of the general's lack of salary."

"It's not the subordinates who intend to force Yuanfu Dayi to kill his relatives!"

"In short, to reform the land and return it to the natives, it will cost the state money countless, and in this way, we can't let the rich and the ink go to waste the state money, and save the state money to do the reform of the land and return it! "

"It's Gao Xinzheng after all, the father is only three months away from His Majesty, and he can force the father to clean up the house!"

Zhang Juzheng sighed after reading the letter, and said: "Gao Xinzheng is the good assistant of the country!"
