Chapter 61 Rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng

I let you go for your own good for these two stubborn people who are not afraid of death.

When Zhu Youxiao saw that both personnel arrangements were going smoothly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Who dared to jump out and scream, drag it out to spank, and rush home to eat rice? Zhu Youxiao has already made preparations, and he is not exhausted to be a tyrant or a fool.

The emperor's appointment and officials accept it, which is a normal personnel appointment and transfer. The cabinet does not have much reason to stop it. At worst, it is impossible to issue a central order, and there is no fear that officials will not accept it.

Next, Zhu Youxiao promoted Li Banghua, the Shaoqing of Guanglu, to the Inspectorate, and went to various roads to inspect the administration.

In the Ming Dynasty, the inspectors and envoys were called for the emperor's inspections. The chief executives of all provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties were all the targets of their inspections. They submitted major matters to the emperor to make decisions, and small matters were dealt with immediately, and the power of the matter was heavy.

After a fierce operation, all three generals of the Donglin Party were transferred from the court by the young emperor. But from others, they were all promoted and given important tasks, which was a manifestation of the emperor's trust.

"Zou Qing——" Zhu Youxiao took the memorial handed over by the inner palace and asked Zou Yuanbiao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel in confusion: "Did you ask this memorial to restore the posthumous title to Zhang Juzheng?"

Zou Yuanbiao, who was over 70 years old, bowed and said, "Long live, Jiangling's contributions are in the country, and his fault lies in his wealth. After the country's discussion, he will die. Why are he ashamed of being a minister of the country?"

Zhang Juzheng was born in Jiangling County (Jingzhou), and is also known as "Zhangjiangling".

Zou Yuanbiao means: Zhang Juzheng has made contributions to the country, and the "love of love" incident is a personal mistake. One code is a code that relies on one code. To restore Zhang Juzheng's reputation, it should be divided.

What surprised and confused Zhu Youxiao was not about rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng, but about how could it be Zou Yuanbiao who ran around and called for him?

In the fifth year of Wanli, the father of the chief minister Zhang Juzheng died of illness.

According to the "Ding and Worry" system at that time, the funeral of grandparents and legitimate parents was borne by the funeral date, and the twenty-seven months of the leap month were not counted. You had to worry at home. After the mourning period expired, you would come out to see the matter.

But Zhang Juzheng didn't want to leave, nor could he leave. The reform has been carried out halfway, and he is preparing to make rapid progress in economic development and eliminate disadvantages. After 27 months of delay, his life's ideals may be ruined.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng planned the "snatch love" incident. The so-called "snatch love" means that the emperor does not let you go. The country needs you. Turn grief into strength and continue working on your post!

The emperor issued an edict to reopen the court, and the ministers submitted memorials to keep it, and the court was brought to a rhythm. Mr. Zhang could not leave, he could not leave. Once he left, the sky of the Ming Dynasty would collapse.

But just when Zhang Juzheng's plan was successful and he thought everything was going well, four young men popped up and submitted a memorial to object, calling Zhang Juzheng a violation of the "eternal principles". Zhang Juzheng's love was "greedy for the throne and forgetting his relatives."

Then, the four young men were dragged out to get a court stick. Some of them were sixty and eighty, and they all had their skin and flesh and butts bloomed.

Now that’s it, Zhang Juzheng is also angry, and no one is talking nonsense anymore.

Alas, just after hitting these four naughty greens, Zou Yuanbiao, a guy who was even more stunned than naughty greens, jumped out.

He sutras and scolded Zhang Juzheng for calling himself an "extraordinary person", but "if he regards attending funerals as a common thing and disdainful... he thinks it is a bird and a pig." This is too cruel, and he actually said that Zhang Juzheng is a beast, pig and dog.

Without surprise, Zou Yuanbiao was beaten to death, and one leg was broken. Before this was over, he dragged his broken leg and was exiled to a garrison in deep mountains and forests in Guizhou.

Later, Zhang Juzheng also instructed the Governor Censor to frame Zou Yuanbiao. It was also because Zou Yuanbiao's life should not be lost. The Governor Censor passed by Zhenyuan to stay and suddenly died at night, allowing Zou Yuanbiao to escape.

If there is such a festival, it is not said that the hatred is as deep as the sea. It is unforgettable and gritting teeth and hating is normal. No one will say that you are narrow-minded and hold grudges.

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the 70-year-old man with white hair and beard at the steps. His thoughts were churning and he was very touched.

He has investigated the situation of his ministers, and at least he has read a lot of resumes. He knows Zou Yuanbiao's experience.

Moreover, within the scope he designated, Zou Yuanbiao is a sure-fire "Donglin Party".

Not only that, Zou Yuanbiao is also a heavyweight figure in the "Donglin Party", and is known as the "Three Lords of the Donglin Party" together with Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing.

"I have also written the memorial of "Harao Zhong Gui Shuo"." Zou Yuanbiao bowed again and raised the memorial in his sleeves above his white-haired head.

Zhu Youxiao took the advice from the palace servant, opened it and looked at it, put it together and said, "Since it is a advice, I will take a closer look after it is retired."

"All the ministers——" Zhu Youxiao raised his head, glanced at him, and asked: "Do you have any objections to the restoration of Zhang Juzheng's posthumous title?"

Yes? The emperor did not ask "What do you think you think?", but asked "Is there any objection?" and then judged from the severity of the tone of the question, the emperor basically affirmed Zou Yuanbiao's memorial.

"I am following the discussion." The censor Fang Zhenru bowed and replied: "The emperor's first politics was strict in everything, and the Jiangling minister's career was comprehensively calculated. Since he had made great contributions to the state, he should be given the honor he deserved."

The censor Zhou Zongjian came forward and said, "Zhang Juzheng was concerned about border affairs, and then he would have a tribute of tribute of more than 50 years. Lord Zou reported it very much, and I would like to discuss it."

"I am following the proposal." Chief assistant Ye Xianggao bowed and replied: "Zhang Jiangling has been prime minister for ten years, and the country is rich and the soldiers are strong. His contribution is indispensable."

Originally, I wanted to discuss the court or the cabinet proposed to ask the emperor to criticize the winner, but I didn't expect that the emperor was so impatient and wanted to make a decision on the spot.

But this is the general trend, and there were people who complained about Zhang Juzheng in the late Wanli period, but they didn't dare to say it clearly. The most important thing is whether this matter can be passed is the attitude of the emperor.

This is equivalent to admitting that his father or grandfather had done something wrong, and admitting that the Zhu family was sorry for Zhang Juzheng. Only the emperor recognized this, and that Zhang Juzheng would recover his reputation would be natural.

"The cabinet drafted an order and Zhang Juzheng made contributions to the country, and immediately restored his official title and posthumous title." The young emperor said in a deep voice: "Looking for Zhang Juzheng's descendants, those with officials will be restored, and those without officials will be given more pensions."

"I will obey the order."

……………………

Humans are really too complex animals; human nature can only be truly revealed like stones in the water after water falls.

When Zhang Ju was in power, he took over the power, and even the emperor was afraid of him, let alone the officials in the court.

But after his death, the emperor turned against him, and those who broke up with the liquidation and brought harm to the wrongdoing were mostly ministers promoted and used by Zhang Juzheng.

However, the ministers who had conflicts with Zhang Juzheng before, who had disagreements or had no choice but to have conflicts dared to risk angering the emperor, defending Zhang Juzheng, and preventing him from being whipped from being opened in a coffin.

Decades later, there is such a guy who was broken by you and almost killed, who is running around to calm you down.

Zhang Juzheng, if there is a spirit underground, I wonder what you should think?
