After Zhang Juzheng's "Cabinet Prime Minister" edict reached the Sixth Section, the news spread quickly. In less than two hours, Zhang's mansion had begun to be decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and everyone was beaming with joy. Zhang Juzheng's party members and partisans in the capital were carrying
Gifts are coming in droves.
When Zhang Juzheng came home from get off work, he saw the commotion in the house, so he called Zhang Siwen and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhang Sixiu said: "These people in the main hall and the courtyard came to congratulate me after they heard that my father was promoted to Prime Minister of the Cabinet. My son cannot kick him out."
Zhang Juzheng looked at his eldest son, saw the smile that could not be concealed on his face, and sighed: "You are fifteen years older than the emperor, but you are not even as good as a hair on the emperor's head."
He did not say this to Zhang Siwen alone, because when he returned home, You Qi and his staff Yao Kuang were waiting around him. Zhang Siwen was almost devalued by his father in public, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
Yao Kuang said softly at the side: "The Prime Minister's words are serious. No wonder the Second Master is like this. How many people are worthy of this sharp rein?" After speaking, he pointed in the direction of the main hall in the front yard, "Aren't all the people coming here in such a bustling way?
Are they some people seeking fame and fortune?"
When Zhang Siwen heard what Yao Kuang said, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked: "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Zhang Juzheng frowned and did not answer, sitting there drinking tea by himself. Yao Kuang replied: "Has the Second Master seen the full text of the imperial edict?"
Seeing Zhang Siwen shaking his head, Yao Kuang took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeves and handed them over and said: "Before the imperial edict was issued, the prime minister had already considered it with the emperor again and again, but after it was issued, there was an extra paragraph.
The entire paragraph "The way to govern, and then the measures to transport it" was originally not in the original text, but was added by the emperor himself - this paragraph is not good for the Prime Minister."
After Zhang Siwen heard this, he read it carefully and said with a smile: "It is consistent with the meaning of the above, so why not explain it clearly? My father has long been determined to reform, what can be done if he understands it clearly?"
Yao Kuang said that with Mr. Zhang's current level, if he entered the officialdom and became a high-ranking official, he would have to destroy the old Zhang family's name.
With a smile on his face, he explained: "The second master doesn't know the emperor's intentions, so it's normal that he can't judge. The emperor's desire for reform is ten times more anxious than the prime minister. With these words, he is trying to generalize the prime minister's army."
After hearing this, Zhang Siwen finally understood: "If you want to take over the position of 'Prime Minister', you will have to fight against the banner of reform. Is this what you mean?"
Yao Kuang looked at Zhang Juzheng and saw that his face was half-blocked by the teacup in his hand, his eyelids were drooped, and he was deaf to the conversation between the two, so he nodded and said, "What the second master said is true, that's what the emperor meant."
Zhang Siwen gasped after hearing this and said, "Wang Anshi has learned from his mistakes and it is not easy to carry the flag. Father, what do you think?"
Zhang Juzheng heard his son ask himself, wiped his face with his hands, touched his beard and said depressedly: "The emperor is not only controlling my army, but also the army of the imperial court! According to etiquette, the emperor's first major edict after taking office, as long as it is not
If you shake the foundation of the country, you should give advice from the imperial censor, and if you do anything moderate, you must give the emperor some face, and you cannot criticize."
"But now this edict is like a slap in the face of those conservative people. I predict that there will be a fight tomorrow! If you don't insist on being a father at this time, the door of our house will be blocked by those Taoists the day after tomorrow!"
Zhang Siwen laughed after hearing this and said, "Father, have you ever been worried? In the past few years, the emperor has promoted the study of studying things, established imperial factories, opened martial arts schools, managed salt administration, and established newspapers, medical schools, girls' schools, etc. -
-This ancestral system has long been in shambles, and these thoughtful people have long understood that he is going to change the law. Who else can stand up to the emperor now?"
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng picked up the teacup and drank tea again. Yao Kuang took over the conversation and said: "Second Master, as the saying goes, 'If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct'. Whether the window paper is pierced or not, it makes a big difference. If it is not pierced, it is now
If you look like this, you will be able to figure it out slowly; if you pierce it, you will start to attack it with great fanfare. When the time comes, you will not be able to take a step back, and taking one step back will lead to death!"

After Zhang Erye figured it out, Yao Kuang smiled again and said: "When Song Shenzong carried out the reform, he also sent Sima Guang and other conservative old officials out, or fled to far away places, and some would rather be exiled than oppose it - isn't that rare?
?”
Zhang Siwen was at a loss for words after hearing this. Yao Kuang continued: "Now that the emperor has almost explicitly stated the reform in the edict, I judge that he wants to take the initiative to trigger a dispute in the court. He may have been sharpening his sword a long time ago and wanted to kill a few monkeys to scare the chickens, as if
The story about Xu Jie from the year before last year. I just brought along the Prime Minister, this——"
After hearing this, Zhang Siwen frowned tightly and blurted out a complaint: "This is unreasonable! Your Majesty is the same, so why can't you try to do it slowly? My father has been working day and night for these years, and the glory of this prosperous age has been revealed, but the Emperor still rushes in."
Years old, why are you so anxious!"
Zhang Juzheng was still very naive when he heard what he said. He shook his head helplessly, coughed and took over the conversation and said: "Well, there is no need to discuss it any more. The emperor also issued a decree today to summon Mr. Shui Lian to the capital without taking the six subjects."
After hearing this, Yao Kuang smiled and said to Zhang Juzheng: "In this case, the prime minister must stick to his words."
After hearing this, Zhang Siwen was confused and said: "Didn't Pan Sheng become an official? Is there any reason to recall him? Besides, whether he returns to Beijing or not, what does it have to do with his father's resignation and promotion of the title?"
When Yao Kuang was about to explain, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand to stop him and said: "Brother Langyi, there is no need to explain it to him in detail." He said to Zhang Siwen: "Although you are still studying, you still need to understand the principles of being an official and doing things. After Pan Shangshu returns to Beijing,
It's up to you to judge the taste, and it's the test question." Zhang Siwen agreed.
Zhang Juzheng smiled again and said to Yao Kuang: "Brother Langyi, please write a manuscript. I will write a letter immediately to avoid my life."
Yao Kuang smiled and said: "That's what you wish for, please give me the decree."
Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well, let's just say, 'I am sloppy in academics and shallow in practice. I give advice day and night, but my words and sentences are rough; my hands and feet are tight, and my efficiency is at the end of the legal system. I am exhausted and my performance is in vain."
I heard that the Lord has given me a very great reward. I am extremely grateful and frightened. I dare not accept it. Please take it back. The rest is at your discretion, sir."
After hearing this, Yao Kuang clapped his hands and praised: "The Prime Minister's words are just an article. How can there be room for stupidity? What a pedantic scholar and shallow practice. Now a monkey really hit the net and was killed.
No injustice!"
...
Zhang Siwen was so ignorant that he didn't mention it. Because Zhuang Jingjia's Qianqiu Festival was coming, Zhu Yijun in the palace asked the inner court to make arrangements. He also personally directed the painter to draw several patterns of jewelry according to the memory of later generations, and asked them to quickly follow the pattern.
Build.
Because it was the queen's first birthday and she needed to receive congratulations from internal officials and concubines in the Jiaotai Hall, Zhu Yijun could not take her out to play that day.
But since Zhuang Jingjia entered the palace on March 9, she has been very tired because she is not familiar with etiquette and court etiquette. In addition, she is a little homesick and her work and rest hours are irregular, so she has lost a lot of time. Zhu Yijun has long wanted to let her
Take two days off to relax.
At the end of March, when spring was in full bloom, Zhu Yijun told the two palaces that he would take Zhuang Jingjia to stay at the Nantai of Xiyuan for two days and return to the palace on his birthday.
After hearing this, Queen Mother Chen wanted to follow, but was persuaded by Princess Leping. Queen Mother Li didn't want to follow, but when she saw that the emperor was so interested in the queen, she couldn't help but curled her lips - but she still agreed.
Zhu Yijun returned to Kunning Palace and told Zhuang Jingjia. Zhuang Jingjia was so happy that she cried, hugging the emperor and saying: "The emperor is so kind to me, I am really afraid that I will not be able to bear the bad luck-" At this point, he suddenly imagined
When he saw the scene where he was dead and Zhu Yijun was in pain, he cried "Wow" even louder.
Zhu Yijun didn't know why, so he hugged her to comfort her and asked her why she was crying. Zhuang Jingjia choked and said what she was thinking. Zhu Yijun was speechless and thought: "Sure enough, this is a child." At the same time, he knew that she was these days.
The psychological pressure is too great.
Wen Yan comforted him: "Didn't you use 'Feng Xuan Ke Mengchangjun' to save the family's 'little Zhuge'? Why are you so wildly thinking? This mind was blocked within a few days of entering the palace?"
After hearing this, Zhuang Jingjia said shyly: "How can there be such a thing! I just gave my father a few words of advice. Besides, if the emperor cares for me and loves me, what use is my heart and eyes!"
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he laughed loudly, used both arms to lift her up high, then held her in his arms and said, "Why don't you call me daddy quickly?"
After hearing this, Zhuang Jingjia's eyes were full of flattery, and she said softly in the emperor's arms: "How often do you call me Dada these days?"
