Chapter 72 Eventful Autumn
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the tenth year of Wanli (Renwu year), that is, 1582 AD.
Emperor Wanli ascended the throne for ten years, Zhang Juzheng has been the chief minister for ten years, and Feng Bao has served as the chief supervisor for ten years.
However, this year in history has been a turbulent time.
In February, Altan died.
In March, Japanese pirates in Wenzhou;
In March, Emperor Wanli married nine concubines one day, and ambushed the most serious and complex political crisis of the Wanli Dynasty.
In April, the local army in Ningxia rebelled.
In June, Zhang Juzheng died, causing great turmoil in the court, Wang Guoguang was dismissed from office, Liang Menglong retired, Zeng Shengwu retired, Yin Zhengmao retired, Qi Jiguang changed to Guangdong...
In August, the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo, was born, which triggered a fifteen-year dispute over the foundation of the country.
In September, when the Liaodong military affairs broke out, Nurhaci's father and grandfather were killed, leaving behind a great disaster.
In December, Feng Bao was exiled to Nanjing and was unable to withstand depression. He soon committed suicide.
It was also in this year that the famous novelist Wu Chengen passed away.
...
Of course, no matter how many major things are, Zhang Juzheng died so shockingly.
One department-level officials were dismissed from office after another, either retired or transferred... This means that Zhang Juzheng's reforms will be completely abolished.
Some things cannot be stopped, such as Altan's death, Wu Chengen's death, Emperor Wanli married Nine Concubines in one day, and Zhu Changluo's birth...
Some things are being stopped, and to be precise, they cannot be called stopping. They should be said to be trying to change, such as the fate of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, and perhaps the fate of Emperor Wanli...
Some things have not been stopped yet, but if you want Zhu Ming to live a better life and be more smooth in the future, you must stop them, such as the incident between Li Chengliang, the general of Liaodong, and Nurhaci...
Despite his infinite enthusiasm for the Ming Dynasty and those people, Zhu Yiliu knew very well that it was not easy to change all this.
After all, he is not an emperor, but just a prince with an awkward identity.
Of course he knew that the prince should be a non-invasive pig, otherwise he would be slaughtered.
Even if he dared not kill him, he would be drowned alive by the spits.
But there are some things that he can't watch and let them happen.
Princess Zhu Yaotai of Yongning married such a tuberculosis, so she was a widow for twelve years without knowing about men and women. She was still a virgin when she died of loneliness. Can he ignore it?
Zhang Juzheng devoted his efforts to his death, but was confiscated by Emperor Wanli, and could he sit idly by the Zhang family, the death of the Zhang family, the demotion, and the migration.
Although Feng Bao was abominable, he was a virtuous prime minister after all, and he made great contributions to the Wanli ZTE. Did he see that he was replaced by Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng, who were not good birds?
...
cannot.
None of them.
As a dead fan of the Ming Dynasty and a passionate young man who has received education on the core socialist values, is he going to ignore it?
Can't do it.
He really can't do it.
Although it is certainly difficult to walk because of identity, this path is almost impossible.
But no matter what, he wants to give it a try, and is determined to give it a try.
What's up to people.
Except for Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli, he is Prince Lu, which is much easier than others to do this, right?
Moreover, since he came to this world, he found that the few things he did were not as difficult as he thought!
Empress Dowager Li loved his youngest son ten times, or even a hundred times, than he had imagined.
Zhang Juzheng did not have the stubbornness he had imagined. After listening to his advice, he would be a temporary assistant, whether it was to treat the disease or to act as a temporary assistant.
Perhaps because of the pain, I felt that I really couldn't live long. With the mentality of treating the dead horse as a living horse, Zhang Juzheng cooperated with him very much.
Borrowing the hand of Empress Dowager Li, he bypassed Zhang Siwei's promotion to Shen Shishi, acting as a temporary acting chief assistant, and it was smooth and did not cause any shock!
Only Zhang Siwei was shocked.
He couldn't stand his face and begged the bones to ask for retirement, so he would let him retire.
In Zhu Yili's opinion, this is not to harm him but to help him. Isn't it better to let Zhang Siwei retire and return to his hometown by success than to let him be scolded by people in the world and descendants thousands of years later?
Is it still difficult to deal with Zhang Jing? Maybe there is a long way to go, but hasn’t you taken Zhang Jing as your disciple?
How could Zhang Jing be just a eunuch, who is a member of the inner court, and the officials of the outer court cannot control it.
What's more, those officials who entered the official career by studying have always looked down on eunuchs.
Neither Empress Dowager Li nor Emperor Wanli took care of it, so wouldn't he accept Zhang Jing as his disciple, and would he also arouse dissatisfaction among foreign court officials? At most, he would force him.
Zhu Yiliu has two big backers, so he is not afraid of being timid.
Oh, to be precise, there should be three backers. If you deal with Zhang Jing, Feng Bao must be included.
Feng Bao has been the chief supervisor of the Secretariat for ten years, but he is in his prime, just forty years, and he has not thought of abdicating so early to give way to the wise!
Feng Bao is the number one person in the inner court. Does he still know who Zhu Yiliu are looking for?
Zhu Yiliu was very confident in this. Not to mention accepting Zhang Jing as his disciple, Feng Bao would definitely help him even if he wanted Zhang Jing's life.
There is also Zhang Cheng, don’t worry, take your time, and you will definitely pull it out before the feudal world.
From this perspective, it seems that all difficulties are paper tigers.
No matter how great the difficulties you face, give him more time, Zhu Yili really wants to see what will happen in this world that is no longer the same as history because of his arrival?
Maybe wait and see together.
Time - always the best answer.
He admitted that time was a killer of a pig, and he admitted that the Zhuming Dynasty defended the royal family as if it were a thief.
But that's OK.
There are always some people in the world who are always young! Always passionate! Always full of passion!
The original intention remains unchanged, and the green water flows forever.
He did not believe that civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty could not see his sincerity, nor could they understand his good intentions and his insights.
Take a step back and say, even if it fails, what can I do? He is still a noble prince.
As long as he does not rebel, his life will be there.
Where isn’t life? How come it’s not life for a lifetime?
Roll up your sleeves and do it! Who said that troublesome things must be a bad thing?
Come on the tenth year of Wanli!
Perhaps, you will not burst out in silence, but die in silence.
Zhu Yiliu felt that he was mentally prepared.
The key is that he feels that his direction of efforts is clear and firm: he wants to live a good life for the Ming Dynasty.
Do your best to prevent the Ming Dynasty from continuing to fester.
At this time, the Western world had gradually embarked on a bright road.
The Ming Dynasty's national strength is still strong, so why should we bear the situation of being gradually surpassed and being beaten later?
Zhu Yiliu deeply loves the strong Ming Dynasty, and also deeply loves the great figures that have been brilliant in history in this era, such as: Empress Dowager Li, Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang...
Live well for himself and for those whom he loves deeply!
Live up to the Ming Dynasty.
Welcome the arrival of the tenth year of Wanli with a passion, positive and healthy attitude.
He is ready!
