Chapter 273 Talking and laughing determine the national policy
Zili was not a fool, maybe he didn't react at that time and argued fiercely! Later, when the Beilan Dynasty came to a deep grimace on his face.
However, no one mentioned the Ping An sign of peace again, and no one asked the censor to impeach Wang Tong. The Tong Zhengshi did not continue to receive memorials about Wang Tong.
The court discussion on that day was very calm. Zhang Juzheng just said that on the way, he saw the flood of academies in various provinces, and those who were interested gathered to give lectures in the academies. Discussing the government affairs, local officials and even vassal royal families went to make friends. Sometimes the government wanted to accommodate teachers and students in these academies, which was very unfavorable to governance.
Emperor Wanli naturally would not have any opinion on this matter. He must have followed Zhang Juzheng's handling of it.
Listening to Zhang Fu's talk, the ministers next to him were a little surprised, thinking that it would be harmful to gather academy and the incense gathering in Tianjin would be peaceful, and the support is just a support. I didn't say it yesterday, but today I said that I really would choose the opportunity.
A few simple words, the court will be separated early. Originally, Zhang Juzheng wanted to start the course after the court meeting immediately. However, Wanli said that it was a hard time for the sir to return home, so just wait for July to reopen the course.
The court will be incited to debate, and the husbands will be almost deadly to give advice. And they will also bring out the goddess of the Empress Dowager, and the ministers will not be as calm as the court.
After the scattered court, they went home and did not talk to each other. Such a big movement would definitely not be calmed down. There must be some aftermath. Don’t accidentally get involved in it.
After Zhang Juzheng dispersed the court, the sedan chair did not return directly to the mansion, but instead turned to a mansion outside the east gate of the imperial city. This mansion is famous in the capital, and it is "Shuanglinju".
Feng Bao was known as Shuanglin, which was his private residence in Gong Xi. The street in front of the door was always extremely quiet. If you pass by, you were stopped and asked at two entrances on the street.
Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Shuntian Prefecture, and the Five Cities War Beggars have all arranged manual protection here. Of course, the auxiliary Zhang Juzheng is not among the people who are hindering the interrogation.
Stopped in front of the door, Zhang Juzheng got out of the sedan chair and entered. The housekeeper of Feng's mansion respectfully greeted the door. Feng Bao had already walked over from the second door and held his fists to welcome him. Inside and outside, Feng Bao's position was a little higher than Zhang Juzheng, so he did not go out to greet him. Welcoming him here is also the etiquette.
After bowing to each other and entering the study, Feng Bao waved his hand and repelled him, but Feng Bao did not open it. He just picked up the tea bowl and skipped the foam, waiting for Zhang Juzheng to speak.
"Brother Shuanglin, Your Majesty has just become an adult, and I don't know that there are some taboos. Brother Shuanglin and Eunuch Zhang still have to say a few more words. No one can understand the name of this safe sign. Can you change the name and pass it? If Your Majesty wants to continue to do it, there will be a big uproar in the world. Can you and me be a minister get what benefits can you get?"
Zhang Juzheng was not polite in his words. This was also a habit. The relationship between the two parties was too close. Therefore, there was not much humility and flattery in his attitude. Feng Bao shook his head there and said with a wry smile.
"Long lively was an obedient child in the past. We were also surprised by how hard he was in the court yesterday."
After saying that, he took a sip of tea and said with some emotion:
"There was such a hard-working look. It was heartbreaking at that time, but after thinking about it, I felt happy. The true dragon emperor is the real emperor. The last thing is the Emperor!"
When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he was slightly in a daze, and then sighed and said:
"Your Majesty has his own idea. He can make decisions, be a teacher, or be a minister, how can he be unhappy? But he can't touch this part. Doesn't Zhang know that digging food from the soil is a dead money, and doing business is a living money? If he touches him, Zhang will not even be able to clear the land and reform the land tax."
"Mr. Zhang, don't be so anxious. We just want to talk about it in time. So are you. There is a city of Tianjin, a sesame size. If you want to use a sign of peace, you can just let him fight so hard that it makes Master Wansui so angry. Seeing Master Wansui's face today, I'm afraid that I will understand it and will definitely be even more angry."
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said helplessly:
"If Lu Guangming didn't say that harsh words yesterday, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get out of Taiwan. As a result, things became increasingly stiff. What else can we do now? The capital and Tianjin implement safety signs, just pretend that they can't be seen. Don't mention this matter in the future, but if you want to form a law and extend it, it's absolutely not possible. All officials and ministers will inevitably fight to the death."
Feng Bao nodded and said in a deep voice:
"At that time, our family will report to the Empress Dowager. I'll beg her to make the decision."
After saying a word, Feng Bao couldn't help but say again:
"Wang Tong's child did nothing wrong in Tianjin Wei. The money was not scrambled into his pocket, so why not get along with him? The Master Wansui protected him like this. He insisted on impeaching him. Wouldn't he beg for trouble?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng sat upright, his face became serious and said seriously:
"Eunuch Feng, Your Majesty made a stumble at the court meeting yesterday, but who doesn't know that he was saying that in the Humao Martial Arts Hall, Wang Tong made all kinds of pine and 5 things to deceive the emperor, and he said with great sincerity that His Majesty was close to him. He thought that he could remove Wang Li from the capital. But he didn't expect that His Majesty still had no contact with him. He was a small man, but by chance he got to this position step by step. Your Majesty was young. Wang Tong was not old, so what would happen if he had time?"
Feng Bao pondered without saying a word, and Zhang Juzheng continued to say loudly:
"This kind of military minister only wants to make achievements. But he doesn't know how to be sympathetic to the people's livelihood, doesn't know how to love the people's heart, and he just wants to please His Majesty at a young age, and he will not restrain himself. In the future, Eunuch Feng, doesn't this delicious restaurant look like the leopard house in the Zhengde period? Jiang Bin and Qian Ning, how did they charm the audience back then?"
During the Zhengde period, there were other buildings outside the imperial city. Tigers, leopards and beasts were raised in captivity. Emperor Zhengde and the monks of the military were together and ignored the government. They were considered to be the first-class absurdity. Jiang Bin and Qian Ning were close confidant generals who were trying to disrupt the world.
This example goes over and over again, which is really annoying to hear. Although Feng Bao nodded, he didn't care. Zhang Juzheng naturally saw this expression. He paused and lowered his voice and said, "When Emperor Shizong, who was the first confidant? It was Lu Pinghu? Did Emperor Shizong have ever trusted internal and external ministers in his lifetime? He was the one who could believe in it. Does Eunuch Feng hope that Wang Tong will become the second Lu Bing?"
Lu Bing was the commander of the Jinyiwei during the Jiajing period, and the only person in the Ming Dynasty who had three ministers and three orphans. He was unparalleled in power. Emperor Jiajing trusted everyone, whether it was an eunuch in the inner court or a minister in the outer court, and even Yan Song had to come after him.
When he heard Zhang Juzheng calling this, for example, Feng Bao was stunned for a moment, slowly put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and said calmly:
"Wang Tong is a smart child, but he is close to Eunuch Zhang. He may not understand some things at his age. He also contacted Master Wansui with secret letters all day long to keep a close eye on it, so as not to be ignorant of the importance of doing something wrong, doing something wrong, but instead harming himself and implicating Master Wansui.
Hearing Feng Bao say this, Zhang Juzheng's face eased, Feng Bao keeps his eyes on it, and the power of the secret talks between the East Factory and the palace may be tilted. As long as you find out something wrong, it will be a good thing.
"Is it there with Eunuch Zhang Cheng?"
"Don't think too much. Zhang Cheng also talked to our family yesterday. There are some things that His Majesty doesn't even know about him. Wang Tong is indeed capable, and he can beat him and make his favor."
After saying a few simple words, Feng De pondered:
"The East Factory reported something, and I believe that the Jinyiwei Liu Shouyou also informed Lord Zhang. Yesterday, after Zhang Ziwei (Zhang Siwei) returned home, it was said that he had a big temper. Does Lord Zhang know about this?
Zhang Juzheng nodded, picked up the tea bowl and drank it and said:
"It is said that it was a quarrel between wives and concubines, but the in-house in the mansion said that the people under him had errands that they had errands, and the errands of Ziwei's cabinet and the Ministry of War were properly handled, and he ignored his private affairs."
Feng Bao nodded with a smile and said:
"Old Lin, who is the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervision, brought his younger brother into the capital. It is said that a wealthy family built a temple at home and asked his younger brother to go back and be a wizard for the house. Lord Zhang said hello to everyone and took care of him.
Zhang Juzheng nodded, Feng Bao said with a smile:
"Old Lin is not as good as before. Although he will follow Prince Lu to take the vassal sooner or later, the empress dowager is now appreciated and does not care about personal gain in the palace. He is really prosperous. He has always flattered our family. This time he asked our family to take care of him, which can be considered as giving us a face."
Who dared to provoke the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison in the capital? Lin Shulu did this just because of the loss. Because of the checks and balances of power, Feng Bao was always unable to make progress in the Imperial Horse Prison. This time, Lin Shulu's kind attitude did make him feel happy.
This is just a trivial matter, just talk casually. Zhang Juzheng said:
"Ji Jiguang, the general officer of Ji Town, met with this official in Tianjin, saying that Ji Town's reorganization was quite effective. Altan Khan and his brothers are now in disagreement, and the disputes within Altan's ministry are a good opportunity. Can Ji Town soldiers go out to fight once in the late autumn, and there may be a big victory? This matter should have been given to Eunuch Feng three days ago. I wonder what the attitude in the palace is?"
"Empress Dowager Cisheng said that since there is a peace agreement, then we should not start a provocation first. After all, it was decided by the late emperor at that time. Now that the treasury has not been better, it is better to use less swords and soldiers.
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and did not continue on this issue. He hesitated and said again:
"After the September wedding, I wonder who has decided to host the wedding?
"Yesterday, our family was in Gong Ran. During these several times of fierce debate, Shen Shixing has always been silent and honest. He is the first choice. What does Lord Zhang think?"
"Ru Mo (Shen Shixing) is a stern person. You can take on this great task!"
