82. Who can defy the sky

Who killed Yue Fei, a famous general of the Song Dynasty? Historical books threw the pot to Qin Hui, saying that Qin Hui killed Yue Fei with false charges. Therefore, in front of the tomb where Yue Fei's corpse was buried at the southeast foot of Qixia Ridge, the kneeling statues of Qin Hui and four others had been kneeling for thousands of years.

But is this really the case? No matter how powerful Qin Hui is, he is just a minister. No matter how good the plan is, he cannot decide anything, especially the execution of a huge matter like the military commander Yue Fei. Of course, it is not to say that Qin Hui is right, but to say that he is not the culprit that killed Yue Fei.

At that time, Emperor Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Emperor Huizong of Song, was in the extraordinary autumn of the Jingkang crisis. His father and brother were captured by the Jin people to the north. If Zhao Gou actively resisted the war and relied on Yue Fei, Han Qinhu and other main war factions directly attacked Huanglong, then his father and brother would still have the possibility of returning to the palace.

So the problem arises. Once this possibility becomes a reality and both former emperors come back, then he, who is the one who takes his own initiative to ascend to the throne in the face of national crisis, will fall into an embarrassing situation - the three emperors, who is the orthodox no.one?

Moreover, in addition to being full of energy and dared to make a decision, Zhao Gou was not allowed to make a decision without martial arts, and was extremely jealous. Therefore, if he was not suspicious of a military commander like Yue Fei, who had already formed an army and had a strong cohesion, he would have seen a ghost.

Therefore, what Qin Hui did was just digging a hole for his political opponents, but Zhao Gou was the one who really pushed Yue Fei down, which was the relationship between the planner and the decision-maker.

We, led by Zhang Juzheng, are also facing this problem at the moment.

Although Hai Rui has found many problems with Zhang Siwei - of course this is inseparable from our strong support - Emperor Zhu Yijun is extremely ambiguous in his handling of Zhang Siwei. It is certain that although he did not explicitly protect Zhang Siwei, he definitely had the firm idea of ​​protecting Zhang Siwei.

Hai Rui shouted loudly and demanded that evil officials be severely punished, but the decision-making body that was held in the three courts would never write according to his wishes. In the trial documents, the statement that "there is excusable but the reason is not consistent" was quietly changed to "the reason is not consistent but the reason is not consistent."

As for other aspects, there are even more problems. Hai Rui expressed his opinions on different occasions many times, but no one answered them. Things are still moving forward like this.

Behind everything, it seemed that there was a powerful force supporting Zhang Siwei, and he didn't want him to be knocked down. This force never appeared on the water, but it was far stronger than everyone floating on the surface.

Zhang Juzheng knew this situation well that the power behind it was nothing else. It was the person who sat in the court to call himself the chief minister and after leaving the court, the emperor of the dynasty, Zhu Yijun, the Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty!

To go further, the emperor wanted to protect not Zhang Siwei, but a person who was against him! Even if that person was not Zhang Siwei, but Li Siwei, Wang Siwei, Niu Siwei, Ma Siwei, and Zhu Yijun would do their best to protect him! It was just because he was not against him. That's all.

This little emperor has been acting more and more like an emperor in the past two years! Is it time for me to leave? Zhang Juzheng sometimes thinks, maybe I'm leaving, it will be better and more helpful to this little guy! The chicks always have to learn to fly, and I can't protect him all my life!

What's more, the more I do, the more unpleasant I cause?

No! I can't leave yet! The reform has not been completed yet! Give me another two years! No! One year!

Zhang Juzheng was shouting loudly in his heart, but he knew that his life was not much...

Standing under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, he punched the tree trunk hard, making a muffled sound! The weight of his whole body pressed on the right fist that was hit, and he lowered his head deeply. He was regretting, regretting his unloved love in life over the years! Regret about not obeying the teachings and dissuasions of his master and elder brother!

But now, regret is useless. All you can do now is to leave the spark as much as possible!

The little emperor wants to check and balance himself and arrange people to fight against him. This is understandable to the emperor's mind, but Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun, you should know that all the reforms I have implemented are entirely for the Ming Dynasty of your Zhu family! Do you really let these people who are openly and secretly oppose reform on stage, and are your dragon throne so stable?

Zhang Juzheng gritted his teeth. He could almost foresee that if he had not promoted the reform himself, he would have been rectifying the administration of officials for so many years, clearing the land, implementing the one-whip method, and arranging Qi Jiguang, Yu Daqiu, and Tan Lun to the north to garrison and build the Great Wall! The Ming Dynasty would have fallen to various levels now!

Which of the things I did myself was not for the Ming Dynasty? Which of them was for myself?

Why didn’t the little emperor understand that if he was still as stupid and corrupt as the previous emperor was in power, this Ming Dynasty! I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to go far in the road ahead!

Is there anything wrong with what I did? What have I fought for myself since I became an official and until today? In order to rectify the administration of the government, my own son won the top scorer and did not use it very much, just to avoid suspicion? Who is there in the family, and what is it that has benefited from my glory? Apart from Hai Rui, the weird guy who has no descendants, who is more clear, corrected, and diligent in the dynasty than me!?

Zhang Juzheng stood under the tree, his heart was ups and downs, but when he thought of it, he was replaced by deep helplessness. After all, the world is still the surname Zhu!

He raised his head, stood up straight, and suddenly sighed to the sky, then closed his eyes and silently raised his head. After all, he only had the ambition to turn the world back, but he had no power to go against the sky!

A strong wind blew! Zhang Juzheng, who was under the tree, suddenly felt a sense of unstoppable dizziness, and for a moment he felt dizzy! He tried his best to hold the trunk beside him, but his knees became weak, his eyes turned black, and he collapsed to the ground!

When I was in a daze, someone seemed to have come over...

When she woke up, Zhang Juzheng was lying on the couch, with his wife Wang sitting next to the couch. Mrs. Wang was the successor. Since her original wife Gu died early, Wang supported the backyard of the Zhang family. Although she and Zhang Juzheng were not as harmonious as the zither and the faces were in harmony, they were also considered harmonious.

Now, Mrs. Wang was sitting on the edge of the couch, with tears clearly marks at the corners of her eyes. Seeing Zhang Juzheng awakening, she exclaimed: "Master, you are awake! You are finally awake!"

Several people surrounded him. When Zhang Juzheng turned his head to look, there were the eldest son Zhang Jingxiu, the second son Zhang Sixiu, the third son Zhang Maoxiu and the fifth son Zhang Yunxiu, followed by the youngest daughter Zhang Youxiu. The three eldest sons were a little confused, only the youngest fifth son Zhang Yunxiu, and stood up with a strong expression. Although the youngest daughter was tearful, she bit her lips tightly and held back tears. She smiled when she woke up!

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had always loved his fourth son, fifth son and his daughter in private, and it was indeed true. Unfortunately, the fourth son Zhang Jianxiu was appointed as the assistant secretary of the Nangongfu Department and was not allowed to come back.

Suddenly, he found that behind his sons and family, there was a person standing - exactly what he wanted to see most at this time, the magical young man - Sun Qilan. And I was also staring at Zhang Juzheng with a bright look. At this moment, we understood each other's thoughts very well.

Zhang Juzheng struggled to sit up, and Wang shouted: "Master! You have just woken up, lie down quickly, don't get up!"

Zhang Juzheng pushed her away, and the three sons had to help him sit up. Zhang Yunxiu quickly took the cushion and stuffed it behind Zhang Juzheng, so that he could rely on something.

Zhang Juzheng sat up, calmed down his breath, stared at Sun Qilan and said, "Qi Lan stay, you guys go out first!"

Everyone was speechless, knowing that Zhang Juzheng had something to say to Sun Qilan about the government. They dared not say anything, so they bowed and left. Before Wang went out, he pulled my clothes and whispered: "Qi Lan, let your second uncle rest early!"

I nodded silently before Wang left.

Seeing that everyone else was walking away, I took a few steps closer. In order to make it easier for Zhang Juzheng to speak, I pulled a small chair from the side and sat in front of him.

Zhang Juzheng stared at me for a long time and suddenly laughed: "Qi Lan, does your master have the ability to see the sky? Why do you see so clearly in everything! You are also an excellent disciple like you!"

I smiled bitterly silently and whispered: "Second Uncle, you are over-reputable."

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I have no ability and I don't have the ability to go against my destiny!" After that, he sighed.

My heart is mixed. The end of a hero is always unbearable, but I don’t know how to comfort him.

Seeing that I was silent, and was proficient in worldly style and was familiar with human nature, Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal! Qi Lan doesn't have to be sad! Just..."

He stared into my eyes and said, "It's just that the reform has not been completed yet. I really can't let go! I can't let go! I'm not willing to give up!"

This is a problem that I can't solve. I sighed slightly and lowered my head gently.

Zhang Juzheng smiled again and said softly: "This matter should not be imposed on you! You have done well enough! It is so good that I am surprised!"

Without waiting for my answer, he continued, "Our Zhang family is loyal to the Ming Dynasty! After I pass by, I am afraid that the environment will undergo a major change, so I will follow his children if they stay or not! But I have something to ask for!"

I stood up and stared at him, and he also stared at me and said, "Yun Xiu is about age and you, a person with open-mindedness and transparency, a strong and brave personality, and a civil and military practitioner. I have always liked this son the most. After I die, if the Zhang family encounters an unexpected accident, I only ask you to see the incense for several lifetimes, the kindness and righteousness of my fellow disciples, and the pleas of my old man, to take Yun Xiu and Youxi away!"

As he said that, he sighed and said, "The eldest son Jingxiu is stubborn and will never leave. The second son Xiu is too cowardly and has no chance to take him away. The third son Maoxiu is too strong, so he is afraid that he will think about revenge every day, but it is not what I wish."

As he said that, he coughed a few times before continuing: "The fourth son Jian Xiu married the daughter of the Three-Border Governor. He gave birth to a son Zhang Chongrun last year. He thought he would not die if he died, so he didn't have to consider it. Moreover, he couldn't leave a reputation and said that as soon as my uncle Zhang died, the Zhang family became escaped thieves one after another! Haha! I'm sorry for them, the other three brothers will look at the fortune!"

I nodded silently. Zhang Juzheng took a silence and leaned back on the cushion heavily, looked at the tent and said with a smile: "I still have selfish intentions after all, I want to leave a back for the Zhang family! What kind of heart in Hai Rui is so decisive that he can be so determined and not leave his descendants!"

I sighed in a low voice: "He is just asking for kindness and getting kindness!"

Zhang Juzheng sat up and said in a deep voice: "I am asking for only the Ming Dynasty's Revival! So before I die, I must do everything I can! At least... at least not regret!"

On the second day and on the third day, Zhang Juzheng was resting at home. On the fourth day, Zhu Yijun, the Emperor Shenzong of Ming Dynasty, decided to punish the case of destroying the Juyongguan Great Wall!

The main culprit Wu Yihuang, who instigated the thief to commit murder and slandered the court officials, was extremely evil! He was already afraid of his crime and committed suicide, and most of his family members fled. He was chasing the world and the three tribes of our family were assassinated to three thousand miles!

The followers of Li Youhuan, who insisted that the thief was committing crimes, was extremely vicious, attempting to destroy the construction of Juyongguan Great Wall City, causing a large number of casualties. The imperial decree was appointed to Lingchi! The three tribes of this family were assassinated for three thousand miles!

Several followers of the murderer were sentenced to death, and Qiu Hou was sentenced to death!

Zhang Siwei, a Grand Secretary of the Zhongji Palace, was confused and bewitched by the thief. He was appointed to be stripped of his junior teacher's title and was fined for three years.
