After Zhang Juzheng returned home that day, he felt a little unhappy and scolded his sons one after another.
Because Zhang Siwen failed the examination in the second year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng ordered Zhang Siwen's brothers to study at home.
Whenever Zhang Juzheng feels angry recently, he will ask Zhang Siwen and his brothers to write a novel. After reading it, they will correct it and scold them. This not only relieves the pressure, but also educates his son. It is a good thing.
Seeing that his father was a little unhappy, Zhang Siwen made friends with Shi Wen and was scolded, so he did not go back to his study and stayed with Zhang Juzheng for another conversation. Zhang Juzheng felt very relieved to realize his son's filial piety.
Although Zhang Siwen was a middle-aged man, his eldest brother had died in infancy, so he was regarded as Zhang Juzheng's eldest son. He was nearly 30 years old and had sons, so he helped Zhang Juzheng take care of the housework.
There is a saying in later generations of the original time and space that during the examination in the second year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng obtained the information about Zhang Siwen's seat in the examination room and passed it to the deputy examiner Wang Xilie, who asked his fellow examiner Shen Yiguan to admit Zhang Siwen.
Not only did Shen Yiguan not listen to Wang Xilie, he also told the matter to fellow examiner Wang Xijue. What was even more shocking was that he also hid Zhang Siwen's paper. As a result, the examiner Lu Tiaoyang searched for Zhang Siwen's paper but could not find it. .
Later, when Zhang Juzheng found out about this, he had nothing to do with Shen Yiguan, and actually stopped the selection of the museum in the second year of Wanli as revenge.
This incident is not found in official history, but is found in a conversation record between Shen Yiguan and his eldest son Shen Taihong in the "Annals of Duke Shen Wen Gong". Many people in later generations quoted this record to explain the lack of selection of common people in the second year of Wanli in the original time and space, and the subsequent The phenomenon that Zhang Juzheng’s three sons passed the exams consecutively and ranked among the best.
In fact, there are many contradictions in Shen Yiguan's record that cannot be explained. For one thing, Wang Xilie and Zhang Juzheng are not in the same party. During their tenure, they often opposed Zhang Juzheng. It is really difficult to understand that Zhang Juzheng could ask him to cheat.
In the second year of Wanli's examination, Zhang Siwen's papers were hidden, and he was Zhang Juzheng's actual eldest son. According to Shen's consistent record, Zhang Juzheng finally succeeded in cheating in the fifth year of Wanli, and Zhang Siwen should have been admitted first - but Zhang Siwen should have been admitted to this subject. [Note 1] Still didn’t win, but his younger brother Zhang Sixiu got hit first.
Third, it is very difficult for Shen Yiguan to hide the papers, because he can hide the most copied papers? And in the main and sub-exams, the failed papers must be checked at the end? How did Shen Yiguan explain in the examination room that the number of copied papers was higher than the number of original papers? One less portion?
Finally, Shen Yiguan recorded that he told Wang Xijue about the matter? Wang Xijue told another fellow examiner Fan Yingqi? Only the three of them knew about the matter - what is ridiculous is that Shen Yiguan said "only the three gentlemen know" The secret? Before Wanli died, all the scholars in the world knew about it? And there were dozens of version records.
Compare Shen's consistent approach to politics in history? The answer is readily apparent. With his character, it is entirely possible to make up this lie.
Therefore, some historians do not accept Shen Yiguan's record, thinking that he is trying to flatter himself.
In the original time and space, after the death of Zhang Juzheng, basins of dirty water were poured on him: for example, the thirty-two large sedan chairs were later found to be rumors; for example, he took the sea dog whip aphrodisiac presented by Qi Jiguang and exhausted his essence and blood - later historians I just want to know who between Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang can tell others about this matter; there are even more outrageous claims that he and Empress Dowager Li are not clear about it.
In addition to pouring dirty water, there are also a large number of stories about small officials who fought against powerful officials during Zhang Juzheng's reign. If these records are true, unless it was during Zhang Juzheng's reign? The whole court collectively
To be wise, otherwise it is impossible to explain how Zhang Juzheng became so stupid and achieved such power over the world? And this powerful minister was actually tricked into being like that by these birdies.
...
Because Zhang Juzheng was the chief minister, Zhang Siwen did not need to elect officials at this time. He was at home, together with Zhang Juzheng's staff Yao Kuang and housekeeper You Qi, trying his best to manage the family affairs of the Zhang family to prevent Zhang Juzheng from being distracted by these.
Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was a little unhappy, he asked who had offended his father. Zhang Juzheng also wanted to let his son know the dangers of officialdom, so he told him: "Jia Sanjin is very annoying!"
Zhang Siwen heard this and said strangely: "This is the man in my father's pocket. How can I annoy my father? - Could it be that he has betrayed the truth?"
Jia Sanjin's examiners for the joint examination were Li Chunfang and Yin Shidan, and he had a normal relationship with Zhang Juzheng at the beginning. After he was selected as a scholar, he became a disciple of Zhang Juzheng because Zhang Juzheng took good care of him.
He became famous at a young age. At the age of 24, he passed the Shandong Provincial Examination and became famous in Shilin. Ten years later, he took the high school examination and was elected as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. He became the Prime Minister at the age of 34. It is completely possible to look forward to it.
The cabinet and even the chief minister.
Zhang Juzheng admired and took care of him very much. In the fourth year of Longqing, he recommended him to serve as an official in Shizhong, adding another layer of golden body of Qingliu Huaxuan. However, because he was too close to Zhang Juzheng at that time, he was targeted by Gao Gong.
When Jia Sanjin found out that the situation was not good, he immediately ran home and stayed idle until the sixth year of Longqing's reign on the grounds that his father was seriously ill.
In the sixth year of Longqing's reign, Gao Gong was jointly defeated by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, and Jia Sanjin was immediately resurrected. After two years of idleness at home, he was actually promoted to an official position, and any Hu Ke was given the task - which is equivalent to Hu Ke's admonishment [81
Chinese website www.x81zw.me] The president of the hospital, Zhang Juzheng, was very kind to him.
However, although the kindness is strong, it cannot withstand the erosion of the shackles of fame and fortune. Zhang Juzheng has long made an agreement with the officials and his followers that all memorials will be sent to Zhang Juzheng for viewing first, so as not to accidentally hurt friendly troops and interfere with the general affairs.
But this memorial written by Jia Sanjin did not catch Zhang Juzheng's attention. Moreover, the content of the memorial was obviously inconsistent with Zhang Juzheng's thoughts on river channels and sea canals at this time!
Zhang Juzheng had an amazing memory, so he recited the contents of the memorial he read in the afternoon to Zhang Siwen. He also said to his son: "My father is in charge of government, and he has no sectarian views. Wang Zongmu promoted Gao Gong to a high position, but his father still advised the emperor to trust him. Because Wang Zongmu
He is a hard-working person."
"But Jia San was close to him and became my disciple immediately after choosing the palace. But this time he acted strangely. Why is this?"
Zhang Siwen speculated: "I'm afraid this book was bought. If I show it to you, the business won't work."
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng felt that his son's mind was mature. He was secretly happy in his heart, but there was still confusion on his face. He said to Zhang Siwen: "Then after he gets the memorial, he should ask to see me. What else can I do to him?"
Zhang Siwen thought for a while and said unconfidently: "Judd changed the family?"
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng sneered and said: "When it comes to changing the family, is there any better family in the world than being a father?"
Zhang Siwen was puzzled for a long time and finally said to Zhang Juzheng: "Please ask father to clarify his doubts."
Zhang Juzheng saw that he couldn't judge, so he didn't continue to pretend not to enlighten him, because this question was too difficult. He took the initiative to reveal the answer and said: "It's true that I changed my family, but I became the emperor's private person through Zhang Siwei.
No, I just have a lot of money."
After hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, Zhang Siwen was very surprised and said with a smile: "From what my father said, the memorial was quite disrespectful to the emperor. Why did Zhang Siwei hurt the general? And why did the emperor let him read this book?"
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng sighed: "If I had seen this memorial half a year ago, even my father would not have been able to understand it. Later, when there were newspapers and the emperor told me some methods of controlling public opinion, I saw the hidden meaning behind Jia Sanjin's memorial.
It smells like this. Your Majesty is using the method of controlling public opinion on the court."
"This method is to first set up a strong example of an official, criticize Long Lin, and focus the public's attention on him first. Then criticize and refute him, and then let Jia San come to the original to admit his mistakes. In this way
, which can easily dismantle opposition voices.”
"Last year, the emperor secretly used Hao Weiqiao to make a small test, knocking down all the leaders of the Beijing camp and killing them. Now, you must have tasted the sweetness." After speaking, he sighed: "The emperor handed over this matter to Zhang Siwei.
It’s because he’s afraid that his father won’t be willing to play the double act with him—it’s also a restraint.”
Seeing that Zhang Siwen was confused, Zhang Juzheng sneered and said: "The four cabinet members, Lu Yusuo and I have been working together for many years, and they have long been obedient. Wang Guoguang has always been devoted to being a father. Zhang Siwei didn't have half of his capital originally, but with the emperor's support, he can do it now
Playing some tricks under my father's nose."
"Last year, the emperor first used the 'Yu Yan case' to get a hold of Wang Guoguang. He had already followed the emperor's lead. Then he used Yu Maoxue to get a hold of Zhang Siwei - this person is probably doing the dirty work for the emperor."
After Zhang Siwen heard this, his heart was pounding, and he forced a smile and said: "The emperor and his father get along well with each other like a fish in water, so why should we be on guard? Are you thinking too much?"
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Siwen with a smile and said: "What's going on between Emperor Zhaolie and Zhuge Liang? There is still Fa Zheng who thinks it's a containment. This is normal, and you don't have to worry about it. What I've inspired you to do today is to help you in the future.
Just think a little more when something happens."
After saying that, Zhang Juzheng stood up and said with a smile: "The emperor has discussed with me many times before the existence of the river canal, and we have already reached a conclusion. Now that Wang Zongmu, Jia Sanjin and others are stirring up trouble, it is just a matter of unification.
The hearts of the people are paving the way for the great revolution. Who does the emperor rely on for such a great government? Haha, I will do my duty!"
