When Zhang Juzheng was in power, with the support of Zhu Yijun, he dominated all officials and said the same thing, and the people called him prime minister. He first passed the examination and became a law, and then cooperated with Zhu Yijun to implement major reforms, making it difficult for officials to make a living.
It also has a very bad reputation.
Although "The Legend of the Phoenix" written by Wang Shizhen is about "defeating Yan", some of the arias in it will be obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that they are alluding to Zhang Juzheng. The main reason why "The Legend of the Phoenix" is so popular in Jiangnan is not because of the touching theme of the work.
There are too many people who resonate with the noble gentleman.
Ironically, on the day Zhang Wenming was assassinated, the troupe sang an excerpt from "The Legend of Phoenix". Feng Bao really humiliated Zhang Juzheng to the bone.
As the emperor, Zhu Yijun had tried his best to remove obstacles for Zhang Juzheng - as evidenced by his jumping to the stage to directly confront the conservatives at the beginning of the Great Reform. However, while Beijing officials and senior officials knew this information, low-level local officials often did not know it.
.As for the people, although on the surface they say that the emperor is a wise man, in their hearts the landlords and gentry all think that a young man can do nothing. The "chaos" in recent years is all caused by evil prime ministers!
Although Zhu Yijun gave the deceased Zhang Juzheng the highest standard of courtesy, suppressing the huge backlash that occurred in the original time and space. However, the hatred caused by the loss of profits cannot be resolved. The wealthy gentry was tortured by the land measurement, strip whip law and other reforms.
Those who were quick to see an opportunity switched to industry and commerce and started a new business; those who were slow to see an opportunity suffered great losses - it is impossible for these people not to hate Zhang Juzheng.
Therefore, over the years, the rumors surrounding Zhang Juzheng have not stopped. And throughout the ages, the easiest thing to spread is the rumor of love. Some say that Zhang Juzheng has no daughter, and Qi Jiguang can only become the standing commander of the Nanhai Military Academy by joining the sea dog whip; some say that
When he returned to Beijing from a funeral, the 32-man sedan chair given to him by the emperor was actually a bedroom. Zhang Juzheng did not abide by his filial piety and played "sedan shaking" while walking. He said that he had noses and eyes, as if he had seen them all in person.
.
The most outrageous one is that Zhang Juzheng and Li Caifeng, the queen mother who is nominally in power, are not clear about it. Wang Tingzhan has heard of this rumor that there is a tunnel in Zhang Juzheng's garden leading to the inner palace - "the black-hearted prime minister lies on the dragon bed".
This rumor is not worth refuting, but no one can do anything about it. If a law is issued for this, it will make it even darker.
Word of mouth among the people is just for conversation, and it can't make any big waves. But if it is written and posted on the wall, it is a big deal - this shows that there are bad signs in the scholar's thinking, and the court must deal with it harshly.
After being helped up, Wang Tingzhan calmed down and ordered: "Notify all prefectures and counties to send the government officials out quickly. Any posts posted will be cleaned up. I will keep an eye on them. Anyone who dares to continue posting will be arrested and questioned!"
This was an emergency measure, so Liu Yao agreed and ran away.
Wang Tingzhan waved to Zhongshu, who was waiting in the corridor, and said: "You arrange for the shopkeeper to find a room. We have finished eating and need to change into court clothes." Before he finished speaking, a person flashed out from behind Zhongshu, it was Hui Cui Lou.
Shopkeeper, it turns out he is here to serve you.
The shopkeeper was surprised and said: "Sir, we have only been eating for two minutes, and there are still many dishes that have not been served - our boss is coming soon." Wang Tingzhan said solemnly: "That's a lot of nonsense! Do you want to commit suicide?"
The shopkeeper turned pale with fright, slapped himself in the mouth, and ran to arrange the room.
Wiping the sweat from his head, Wang Tingzhan turned around and entered the private room. Seeing his pale face, Liang Menglong asked with a smile: "Zhibiao, what happened?"
Wang Tingzhan smiled apologetically at Pan Sheng and others, turned the table and walked to Liang Menglong, unfolding the announcement in front of his eyes. Liang Menglong glanced at it, stood up, and said to everyone: "I want to enter the palace immediately.
"Mr. Shuilian, let's talk as we walk. Zhibiao, you come with me." After saying that, he left the table, leaving everyone in the room in shock.
Wang Tingzhan felt that although the matter was big, it was not urgent. He reminded: "Prime Minister, just change into court clothes. I have already arranged a place to change." Liang Menglong thought about it and smiled: "Don't be nervous, everyone. It is a big matter, but it is important."
There's no rush." Everyone suppressed their doubts and looked at each other.
The waiter, Zhongshu, had already gone to a nearby private room to call the relevant people, and came over with a suitcase containing court clothes.
So, Liang Menglong and others went to change clothes first. After putting on their court clothes, everyone came out with their python robes and jade belts. The volume in the lobby of the gathering building suddenly dropped. Everyone looked at these rare high-ranking officials and did not dare to speak loudly.
Youxuniao whispered in a low voice: "The Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall also went to the restaurant to eat in person - he has gained a lot of experience."
When I walked to the door, I saw a middle-aged man in plain silk clothes bowing at the door and bowing. He said: "Why did you leave so quickly? It's rare for the young ones to show their friendship as landlords." Wang
When Ting Zhan saw that the shopkeeper was acting against his will, he became furious and signaled to the people around him that he was about to capture the man.
Unexpectedly, Liang Menglong burst into laughter: "Is it Mr. Zhuang's second brother or third brother? I can't remember clearly." After hearing this, the man stood up and replied: "I don't dare bother you to ask. I'll call you Zhuang Yunzhi next time."
, Dare not slander your ears with a cheap name."
Liang Menglong asked him just to give him face, smiled slightly and walked forward. Wang Tingzhan deeply doubted his ability, and also doubted whether he could do the job of Shuntian Fuyin well. As he walked, he explained: "Because there is an urgent matter, we will wait another day."
I'm here to bother you." Zhuang Yunzhi hurriedly said he was waiting.
The accompanying Zhongshu people did not know that the "Hui Hui Building", the first hotel in the capital, was a business of Empress Zhuang's natal family, so they followed behind and kept talking. However, there were so many such situations in the capital and even in the world, so everyone was not surprised and felt soberly.
He said: "Uncle Zhuang does not use his power to make profits. He opens a restaurant in a serious manner and sincerely sets an example for you."
When Pan Sheng heard this, he turned around and said, "Which noble family uses power for profit? Tell me."
Everyone: ".?"
When they arrived at the palace, Liang Menglong and others asked for an audience. The Wei Dynasty came out to inform the ministers to meet at the Wuying Hall. Liang Menglong asked the Wei Dynasty: "The emperor is not in the Yangxin Hall today?"
Wei Chao pondered for a while, but decided to give the new Prime Minister a face, swallowing the words "I don't know", and said: "Just now, Wang Tong. Well, the Crown Prince Shaobao Wang Xizhi came to see him, and the Emperor came from the Yangxin Hall
Came here for a walk."
Wang Tingzhan swallowed his saliva when he heard this. Wuying Palace was close to the Political Affairs Hall. The Wei Dynasty meant that the emperor was waiting for them to have an audience at Wuying Palace. And it was not clear what Wang Tong said during his audience.
Sure enough, Zhu Yijun also knew about the unveiling case. He didn't get angry, he just asked Wang Tingzhan: "Zhibiao, how did you arrange it?"
Wang Tingzhan hurriedly replied: "In response to your Majesty's words, I have already sent all the government officials to collect all the stickers. At the same time, keep a close eye on them to prevent others from committing crimes." Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "
You go back - this is not a big deal. There are always some scoundrels who do these shameful things. You have to pay close attention these days and cooperate with the National Security Bureau."
After Wang Tingzhan retreated, Zhu Yijun said to Liang Menglong: "This case is easy to solve - the Mexican State Security Bureau already knows which houses in the capital are selling the paper on which the announcement was written. In addition, one of the four lines of the poem leaked his information.
He must be a high-ranking official in the court."
After saying that, he snorted coldly and said: "The 'robbery case' was stopped when Han Bixian came to Han Bixian. Just as the Prince of Zhongxing County was dying, the matter was dropped - these bastards have been quiet for two years and are ready to start again. This time it must be
I want thunder to sweep my acupoints and clean them all!"
