One hundred and seventieth chapters full of wind and rain
The pure filial orchid heart of the cabinet is really touching. "The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Zhang Siwei held the memorial of the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng and choked up.
Zhang Siwei is the third person in the cabinet and the Minister of War. However, in this cabinet, Zhang Juzheng did not care about his identity and dignity at all. These words were already knocking his head to the ground.
The Minister of Rites Wan Shihe looked calm, but looked around but said nothing. He was already frightened by the resignation of former Minister of Personnel Wang Guoguang, and did not dare to participate in such matters anymore. He was retired from this position.
On the contrary, the new Minister of Personnel Zhang Han was unambiguous and nodded with a smile and said:
"If the cabinet master was not so pure and filial, how could he have the loyalty of the country's pillars? It is truly a blessing for my Ming Dynasty and a role model for officials and scholars all over the world."
There was another echo in the cabinet. Shen Shixing, the Minister of Justice, stood up with tears on his face and said:
"There is a saying in the lower official who doesn't know whether to speak or not. He talks about the fact that he is in a place of unfilial piety, but he feels uneasy if he doesn't speak."
The noise in Wenyuan Pavilion has not stopped since the morning. Everyone praised Zhang Ge's filial piety, but Zhang Juzheng sat in his own position and said nothing.
Of course, everyone secretly looked at Zhang Juzheng's face when they were talking, and according to the rules and regulations, Zhang Juzheng would have to prepare a memorial service at home tomorrow, but today is actually here to hand it over.
But no matter what happens next, Zhang Juzheng is still the assistant now, and no one dares to make any judgment on Zhang Taiyue's whereabouts. It is enough to praise everyone without any slightest comment.
But the Minister of Justice Shen Shixing came like this. Just now, the cabinet that was still as if the market had suddenly calmed down. Everyone's eyes were betting on Shen Shixing. Zhang Juzheng looked at Shen Shixing for a while and spoke in a deep voice:
"Ru Mo, if you have something to say,
Shen Shixing is also forty-three years old, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with tears and he said earnestly and excitedly:
"Gei Master, filial piety is a great feud, but after all, it is a small family. If the Gei Master does not assist the emperor, what should I do in the world? What should I do in this great politics? If the Gei Master is dedicated to fulfilling filial piety, he delays loyalty to the country. Such a difficult task. The officials also know that it is difficult to decide, but if you care about the country and the people, the Gei Master still has to give up his reputation and focus on the world!"
After Shen Shixing said this, everyone in the room was stunned. No matter what they thought, they stood up together and worshiped Zhang Juzheng:
"Please think three times for the country
Zhang Juzheng opened his slightly closed eyes and looked at everyone's earnestness. Except for Wan Shi, the Minister of Rites who were sitting there and the old man who was proud of his qualifications, everyone stood up, which was a little quiet for a moment. Zhang Juzheng suddenly slapped the back of the chair and snarled with anger:
"Ru Mo, I am not asking you to say such a ridiculous statement. My father passed away. How could he be a son of man? Where is the ethical principle? You all sit down. It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous."
Shen Shixing's tears flowed down and he said to himself:
"Gei Master, what the lower official said is what he thought in his heart. The emperor cannot live without the Pavilion Master, the cabinet cannot live without the Pavilion Master, and the Ming Dynasty cannot live without the Pavilion Master. Which one is more important, the Pavilion Master must be cautious!"
Seeing this, the rest of the people wanted to bow again, and Zhang Juzheng's face became even more angry. He stood up and cursed:
"As an important official of the country, you are so unconventional. It is the will of the emperor to stay or leave. What's the matter with you? As soon as you get up, the sage is coming, don't lose your etiquette."
Everyone stood up, but coincidentally, the important officials of Wenyuan Pavilion and other countries had just finished their appearance and clothes. Someone outside yelled to inform the emperor that he had arrived.
The little emperor Wanli walked in with a calm face, and the ministers bowed to him. Emperor Wanli was the first to say to Zhang Juzheng:
"After such a thing happened at home, Mr. Zhang still has to be mourned. Don't hurt your body.
Emperor Wanli said this, Zhang Juzheng must kneel down and thank him again. The next step is to give resignations and answers in normal procedures. According to the rules and regulations of the court, Zhang Juzheng first returned to his mansion to wait. Whether it was an order to go home to mourn or to leave his responsibilities, it would be a matter of a few days later.
The ministers in the court had different thoughts. But no matter who they were, they did not show any abnormality on the face of the young emperor. They just felt that the young emperor was very indifferent and seemed to be unrelated to him.
At this court meeting, no one came up with any meaningful attitude or policy, and could only turn around their respective palaces.
The matters discussed in the cabinet could not be concealed at all. News of the court meeting in the morning and afternoon would spread throughout the capital. Emperor Wanli expressed his opinion, Zhang Juzheng's anger, and the attitudes of all the big bosses were soon known by all the officials in the capital, but such a statement made people even more inconceivable.
The only way for the censor to show his existence is to stand in the team and submit memorials at this time. The more unclear the situation, the more determined the situation is, and once you bet, you will definitely have endless wealth and honor. Similarly, if you stand in the wrong position and bet wrong, it will be a place that will never be restored.
The Beijing Bureau, which had already begun to restless, became quiet again.
,.
The Ministry of Personnel wrote back to Zhang Han to return to his mansion, and the first thing he did was to follow the housekeeper who greeted him.
"According to the usual routines of these days, I will not see any foreign guests."
The butler nodded, turned around and ordered the doorman a few words. Zhang Han took off the Jinxianguan on his head and walked slowly towards the study. The butler followed respectfully.
After passing the door of the inner house, Zhang Han looked around and the butler who followed immediately understood. He waved his hand at the servants and servants in the inner house behind Zhang Han and drove them all out.
Zhang Han walked a few steps in silence, and suddenly spoke in a low voice:
"How is that girl over there?"
"When I say to you, the Eighteen Heavenly Girl in Yaochi has already caused a sensation in the capital, and this woman is much better than these Eighteen Heavenly Girls, so she will definitely be favored."
Zhang Han stopped and turned around and asked coldly:
"Since that's the case, then there's still no news?"
The housekeeper saw sweat on his forehead, and his waist bent lower, and he replied in a small voice:
"My Lord, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang's inner house is too tight. He has to pass several levels in and out. Now he has only just resumed the conversation."
"I said it was a bad idea at that time. You insisted on getting a woman to send it in. Didn't Zhang Siwei get Taixi Ji? I didn't hear any news from you?"
Zhang Juzheng had many concubines in the inner house, which was an open secret in the capital. This Thai is generally used to refer to European countries. Zhang Siwei bought the Thai concubines in Guangdong, which are the four Wanli people. It caused a sensation in the capital that day, and many literati and poets regarded this as a beautiful story.
Zhang Han did not enter the study room, but walked into a pavilion next to him, sat down and said in a deep voice:
"If you pretend to be that girl's family, if you go there too many times, you will be suspicious. Don't pay attention to this first and take it as a idle person, and it will be impossible to use it in the future."
The housekeeper bowed and agreed. Zhang Han patted his forehead with his hand and stood up and walked towards the study. Before he could reach the door, he heard a shout in front of him. The doorman ran over quickly and came to him and called him a thousand. He said breathlessly:
"Master, I have a will. I have a will."
The court meeting had just passed, and there was an order. Zhang Han turned around suddenly. The housekeeper next to him had seen a lot of things, and quickly shouted:
"Missary, go and prepare the incense table." Why are you still stunned here? Go and open the door to answer the order."
The concierge took a few breaths and said quickly:
"The father-in-law who sent the order said it was a secret order, so there was no need to make a big fuss, just go to the main house to receive the order."
Zhang Han was stunned and signaled the housekeeper to go out to receive the order. He changed into his official uniform and walked to the main house. The eunuch who was delivering the order was wearing a red robe and smiling.
After the etiquette procedure was completed, the eunuch said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhang, Your Majesty's meaning is very clear. He assisted Zhang Ge Lao to work hard and make great contributions, and was also promoting the great policy of enriching the country and benefiting the people. Although there was a great destruction in his family, the country and the country were inseparable from Zhang Ge Lao. Long live the emperor wanted to issue an edict to seize the love. According to the rules and regulations, such matters must be advocated by the Ministry of Personnel."
Zhang Han kept kneeling there and listening, but then looked up and said:
"I came back in Wenyuan Pavilion in the morning, and the cabinet has heard about the matters. Why don't I know this decree? Could it be the decree of the decree, or is there anyone who issued the decree under the name of His Majesty??"
During the Tang and Song dynasties, if the emperor's decree was not directly issued by the Secretariat, it was called the Central Decree. The official decree of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was to pass the cabinet ticket to be considered formal. Such direct decree was called the Central Decree. The officials who received the decree often would not accept it.
Moreover, this behavior that would not be accepted would be praised by the ruling and the rulings, who believed that he had a strong character and that the dynasty assisted Zhang Juzheng and Ding's love was a matter of the world. It was too rash to convey the meaning of this.
Hearing Zhang Han’s rebellious question, the eunuch immediately changed his face and shouted sharply:
"Mr. Zhang, can you say the will in the palace like this? Do you still have the Long Live Master in your eyes? Is there any kingly law of the Ming Dynasty?"
The decree was not said to be the emperor, but to be said to be the palace first. Moreover, this rebuttal was so angry that Zhang Han was more suspicious in his heart. He said in anti-voice:
"This is done for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's kingly law, and to prevent the treacherous villains from taking advantage of the loopholes!"
He was also stern, and the eunuch's face was blue and white. At the end, he snorted coldly, rolled up his order, and left with a swish of his sleeves. Zhang Han stood up with a gloomy face, brushed the hem of his official uniform with his sleeves, and stood at the door of the main house and watched the eunuch leave.
"Godfather, Eunuch Feng asked the little horse from the Wenshu to go to Zhang Han's house to pass the imperial edict today. But Zhang Han was not stupid and did not accept the imperial edict at all."
That night, Buyi whispered to Zhang Cheng and said, seeing that Zhang Cheng didn't say anything, Buyi asked for instructions again:
"Godfather, why don't your son find someone he knows and expose the news."
Zhang Cheng stared at Buyi, his expression had become serious, and he shouted in a deep voice:
Chapter completed!
