Chapter 14 Exchange of Interests

In the design of the imperial system of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was a highly centralized system that was infinitely close to a dictatorship. The only limited restrictions were the cabinet drafting, court deliberation, and the six subjects of refuting matters.

The system design of the Ming Dynasty could not operate stably without the emperor.

In this context, a major case of assassination of the king and a vicious incident of provoking authority and imperial power occurred. The chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and the young emperor both chose to settle the matter.

Because of the cost of continuing to investigate, no matter who loses or wins in the party struggle, the one who bears the price must be the Ming Dynasty. The weak Ming Dynasty cannot withstand such violent turmoil at the moment.

The second key reason was that the emperor was young and his power was weak, so stability was the top priority.

These are the evil spirits in the court and the intrigues between adults. Zhang Juzheng actually does not want to mention these scandalous things in front of his children. This kind of exchange of interests is really ugly and does not conform to the theory of self-cultivation in the Four Books and Five Classics.

"Zhang! Yuan! Fu! You have to be like Gao Gong, right!" Feng Bao gritted his teeth and stared at Zhang Juzheng, like a bad wolf. He was responsible for biting, and Zhang Juzheng exchanged interests with the case of assassinating the king and killing him while driving.

It is disrespectful and the greatest disrespect.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng's silence, Feng Bao's expression changed, and he asked sternly: "You civil servants are all like this. You talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but your heart is all about business!"

"nausea!"

"I didn't agree." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said. He really didn't agree. He just said he would consider it and did not agree to Yang Bo.

"Feng Daban, please be patient. Let me tell you what Yuan Fu is worried about. Yuan Fu will do one or two." Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao and asked him to suspend his attack.

"Humph, scholar." Feng Bao flicked his sleeves, turned around, obeyed His Majesty's order, and said no more.

"The Jin party took advantage of Anda Khan's tribute. They didn't even need to do more to threaten the capital. They only needed to rein in the Xuan army and march southward with iron hoofs from the north. Yin Jian took the lead in the Gengxu incident.

"Zhu Yijun mentioned the Gengxu Revolution.

The Gengxu Revolution occurred in the 29th year of Jiajing. Ananda Khan launched a war against the Ming Dynasty on the grounds that the Ming Dynasty was unwilling to free trade.

Anda Khan looted the vicinity of the capital of the Ming Dynasty for eight full days, and then retreated after receiving Tonggong City's permission from Emperor Jiajing.

This is a great shame.

In the 30th year of Jiajing, the war reignited again. From the 30th year of Jiajing to the 45th year of Jiajing, Xuanda's chief military officer and deputy chief military officer killed more than ten people in the battle. The soldiers suffered countless casualties. Only the capital

As well as the Xuanfu and Datong fortresses, four to five million yuan were needed. The imperial finances were empty, and the annual income could not cover half of the annual expenditure.

The imperial court's fiscal revenue could not reach half of its expenditure every year, and the imperial court's deficit increased rapidly.

The Ming Dynasty had a hard time, and Anda Khan had a hard time, too. Finally, during the Longqing period, the two sides reached a consensus and everything came to an end.

The Jin party only needs to use the excuse of strong captives to restrain the soldiers, and it is not impossible for the Gengxu Incident to happen again.

Zhu Yijun flipped through the memorials on the imperial case, pulled out one and said: "I have Tang Bao at hand. General Qi Jiguang and Qi defeated Duoyan Wei at Beigukou, Jiangjun Tower, Sister Tower, and Xifengkou.

The thief chief Dong Hu made his first contribution of 2,500, and Dong Hu escaped on his own."

"The Zhejiang Army is indeed a world-famous hero!"

The first battle report Zhu Yijun received when he arrived in Ming Dynasty was a victory report.

This battle was just a trivial matter in Qi Jiguang's mighty record. Qi Jiguang was not only good at fighting Japanese invaders, but also a strong opponent of Japanese invaders. Dong Huxu went to Beigukou and asked the Ming Dynasty for a reward. If he refused, he would join the invaders. He was killed by Qi Jiguang.

They set up a trap and Dong Hu's entire army was wiped out. Dong Hu's nephew came to rescue his uncle without knowing the situation, but was captured alive and sent back to Beijing.

"Even if the Northern invaders invade at this time, I am confident that they will never come back!" Zhang Juzheng said very solemnly, and he said this with confidence.

Qi Jiguang was recommended by Zhang Juzheng from south to north. Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, and Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of Jiliao, were his subordinates, which gave him the confidence to conflict with the Jin Party.

Only when you have a knife in hand can you speak forcefully!

If the Northerners really go south, then we'll have to fight them first.

Zhu Yijun closed the victory report in his hand, shook his head and said: "In war, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. No one dares to say that victory is certain."

"When Gao Gong was the chief assistant, there were many promotions. If we continue to investigate this case, I am afraid that all the clues will point to Gao Gong. Who made Gao Gong lose his power?"

"The arrest of Gao Gong will inevitably cause an uproar in the court and panic among the people. They are stumbling upon Yuan Fu behind his back. It doesn't take too much. Three or five things will make it even harder to win."

Once a war breaks out, the Datong, Xuanfu, and Gyeonggi regions that have just regained some vitality will become turbulent again. The people who bear the cost of the war are the most ordinary people. It's okay if they win, but if they lose, the people will suffer even more.

The Jin Party is a clique closely knit together by in-laws, teachers, and fellow villagers. They control the Xuanfu, the important towns of Datong, the capital camp, personnel, and the political and political power of the DPRK.

Emperor, you want to kill Gao Gong, and then berate those who were promoted by Gao Gong.

Emperor, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?

"These rebellious ministers and traitors have just realized that the Ming Dynasty is weak and lawless!" Feng Bao immediately added that as an eunuch, it was his bounden duty to criticize civil servants at all times.

"I don't think it's that bad. If chaos really breaks out, I'm sure I can put an end to it." Zhang Juzheng said with great arrogance.

Since he dared to join forces with Feng Bao to drive Gao Gong out of the cabinet, he naturally had something to rely on. The Jin Party had military, political, personnel, political principles, and wind power, and so did he.

Gao Gong had lost all his power, and Zhang Juzheng was the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng, shook his head and said, "Then Mr. Yuan Fu, what is the price?"

"The price is that the vitality that Ming Dynasty has just recovered has been completely consumed in this party struggle. Since Yuan Fu has told me about this matter, he naturally intends to calm things down and waste national power. This is not what you want, nor what I want."

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty is wise."

This is the reason why Zhang Juzheng said that he was incompetent in front of the emperor. He could not carry out a full-scale pursuit of the Jin Party without consuming the national power of the Ming Dynasty. He could only say in front of the emperor that he should let things go.

Gao Gong is actually not important, he is just a little old man who has lost his power, but the Jin Party, which has deep roots in the central government, is important.

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng suddenly remembered the words that His Majesty had annotated, comrades, peers, Fang Tongle's annotation. Zhang Juzheng even had a strange feeling, that is, the little emperor actually had the same ambition as him to restore the Ming Dynasty.

, revive the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Bo underestimated Feng Bao, but Feng Bao not only saw it, but also explained the power of it to the little emperor.

Zhang Juzheng believed that the little emperor's clear and powerful rhetoric came from Feng Baojiao.

Zhu Yijun had already thought of this situation before he asked Feng Baobing to send Xinzheng to capture Gao Gong. Does the Jin Party have such courage? Zhu Yijun knew clearly that not only did the Jin Party exist, but it was also very big.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, it was the new leader of the Jin Party, Wang Chonggu's nephew Zhang Siwei, who initiated the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng's ten years of new policies were all destroyed in one day, and Ming Dynasty's last chance to correct its mistakes disappeared.

Yang Bo was very good at judging people. He said that Zhang Siwei had both sides of the snake and rat. He was right about Zhang Siwei's character. Zhang Siwei could seek refuge with Zhang Juzheng for power, but also for profit. After Zhang Juzheng's death, he would follow his new policies.

, stabbed the most critical knife.

"So, tell me, what conditions did Yang Bo give to Yuan Fu to intervene?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.

Zhang Juzheng thought about it for a moment and said: "The examination of the law, the position of Dazai Tianguan in the Ministry of Personnel, and Yang Bo's appointment as an official."

"If there are only the first two items, I won't agree. In addition, Yang Bocheng is still in office, and he is the leader of the party." Zhu Yijun closed the Four Books Direct Explanation, looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked: "Yuan Fu accounts for the majority here, what about me?

The victim has been wronged, what should he do?"

Yang Bo agreed to take the imperial examination, Yang Bo gave up his position as a Heavenly Official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Yang Bo became an official. The person who benefited the most was Zhang Juzheng. What about the Ming Emperor who had been wronged?

Zhang Juzheng was a little confused when he heard this. He was not sure what the little emperor wanted, so he hurriedly said: "The reason why I serve the late emperor is to be loyal to your majesty..."

When Zhu Yijun heard that Zhang Juzheng was about to recite sutras again, he quickly said: "Stop."

"I am going to behead Wang Zhanglong, Chen Hong, Teng Xiang, Meng Chong and other criminals, and execute them at an early date to have the effect of intimidation and punishment. If I do not impose the death penalty and calm down the matter, I am afraid that in the future, criminals will arrive at the Dharma Palace.

"Silent and simple, I look as frank as if I were walking on plain shoes, as if I were in a deserted place."

The scoundrels arrived at the Dharma Palace from all walks of life, but they were all alone, as if they were wearing plain shoes. This is a sentence from Ge Shouli, the general secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who wanted to interrogate Feng Bao's memorial. It means that the scoundrel Wang Zhanglong went in and out of the palace as if there was no one there, and went straight to the Qianqing Palace.

No one asked, it was as easy as walking on flat ground.

Zhu Yijun thought it was good, so he used it directly.

Zhang Juzheng sensed that something was wrong. If it was really Feng Bao who taught him, how did Feng Bao know about Ge Shouli's memorial today in advance, and what should he tell the young emperor?

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is responsible for governing the world with benevolence and mercy. The six qualities of benevolence, wisdom, trust, straightforwardness, courage, and strength are good deeds. If you are too late, you may harm the harmony of heaven."

"Feng Daban, take the fire sign and seal ribbon, and order Ti Commander to personally lead six hundred Ti cavalry, send troops to Xinzheng, arrest Gao Gong, and all his family members, and kill anyone who resists!" Zhu Yijun packed up all his notes, stood up, and said to

Feng Bao said calmly.

"I obey the decree!" Feng Bao looked happy and immediately planned to get the fire tablet and the blank edict.

"Feng Daban, wait a moment." Zhang Juzheng was helpless. The same trick he used against Yang Bo yesterday was used against him by the little emperor.

The little emperor said it well, but he suddenly flipped the table when he said it, and he really didn't follow martial ethics!

Zhang Juzheng immediately said: "I will bring all the criminals to Lingchi, and I will lead the Three Laws Division to report them."

Zhang Juzheng took the lead in the performance, so he was naturally responsible for the infamy.

Zhu Yijun then sat down and signaled to Feng Bao that he did not need to go get the fire seal and ribbon. He looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "There is a good doctor in the Imperial Hospital, Chen Shigong, who is especially good at surgical removal. Let Chen Shigong handle this Ling Chi matter."

In the Taiyuan Hospital, set aside a courtyard with four entrances and exits and tidy it up properly."

"Hang the plaque and unify the courtyard."

"The Jiecu Institute specializes in dealing with dishonest and unfilial officials. It just so happens that after Jiegui, the Ming Dynasty's medical science can be brought to a higher level."

"Explain it slowly, little by little, one by one, and study the mysteries of physiology in detail. What does Yuan Fu think?"

Modern medicine is based on anatomy, and Chen Shigong, who is especially good at surgery, and the Jiecu Medical Officer and the Jiecu Hospital complement each other.

These rebellious officials and traitors are bound to die no matter what, so why not let them use their final light and heat to illuminate the path of Ming medicine?
