.This question has been in Zhang Juzheng's mind for a long time. Of course he tried to explain it himself. There were some reasonable answers... For example, compared to his full silence, he, a student who never had any independent, is naturally easier for Xu Jie to control in the future. Even if he retreated to his hometown in Songjiang, he still commanded himself remotely and became his Taishang Pavilion Master.

For example, silence has become a faction. If he is in power, he will naturally have to use his own, the person in the bag. "Xu Jie's iron rod and confidant will inevitably be marginalized and even rejected. This will greatly weaken and even disappear, which is definitely not what he wants to see. He will support himself on stage and have the final say on who he wants to use, so there is no such concern.

There are many assumptions like this. However, Zhang Juzheng still couldn't convince himself because he did not believe that a prime minister of a country would look at problems so selfishly, which was completely inconsistent with Xu Jie's teachings to him for many years.

"", After hearing Zhang Juzheng's question, Xu Jie was silent for a long time before looking at him and said, "Through this incident, have you not discovered what kind of person he is yet?" As he said, his eyes were incredible, "I still can't believe that his target will be me. How many people dare to deceive their teachers and destroy their ancestors in the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty?"

"..." Zhang Juzheng was also silent. Yes, even he always thought that silence was at most trying to get himself and Li Chunfang out of the cabinet. Unexpectedly, this madman actually bypassed them. He pulled Xu Jie off his horse. Although silence did not take action directly. Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, who had tasted the taste, was very sure that he was the black hand hidden behind the scenes, and had a close connection with a series of events that had happened since the last winter.

This dynasty established the country with Neo-Confucianism. The absolute obedience and respect for heaven, earth, king, parents and teachers is the foundation that this etiquette society can maintain. "Heaven, earth, are empty, king, relative, and teachers have become the authority of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years. The obedience of ministers to the king, the obedience of sons to the father, and the obedience of disciples to the masters are the premise for this hierarchy society. Therefore, any "lower defeats the superior" will be regarded as a great rebellion and cannot be tolerated by the entire society.

Of course, in recent years, with the prosperity of the Wangxue School, the free and unrestrained thoughts have been widely spread among the scholar class, and many people began to not take ethics seriously. However, as the scholar-official class, especially the ministers in the court, they still dare not go beyond the line, for fear of being ruined and having a bad reputation for thousands of years.

However, the Shen Jiangnan, who usually seemed gentle, respectful and frugal, dared to take the big flaw in the world. Although both parties will never publicly admit this and cannot find any evidence to prove it, he did it after all.

As long as he does it, it means that he dares to stuff the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues into the pit. Once such a person who is not afraid of the emperor, father, and teacher has mastered the power of the country, God knows what he can do?

…, “…”…”…”…” “One…” One,, “”, “One,…”, “…”, “…One,” “…One, one, one,”, “One, one, one,” “One…”…”…

At that moment, Zhang Juzheng's mind flashed through his mind, Qingfu, Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Yang Jian, Zhao Kuangyin..." and other heroes who dared to pull the emperor off could not help but sweat. However, his intuition told him that Chen Si would not be such a person, and the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty were stubborn, but the time for the change of dynasties was not yet reached. As long as Chen Si did not go completely crazy, he should know that even if many people swear allegiance to him in normal times, once he wanted to rebel and usurp the throne, those people would sell him without hesitation.

"He is not yet, he has the intention of being disobedient, right?" So he whispered.

"That won't be." Xu Jie shook his head slowly and said, "But there is danger of becoming Wang Jiefu." He sighed again, "And I feel that he will be more dangerous than Wang Wengong! The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by Wang Anshi's chaos in politics. I can't let the Ming Dynasty fall in his hands." As he said that, his eyes became solemn: "I have to be responsible for my ancestors and the country...,..."

"Students also have a long-cherished wish to change the grass." After hearing Xu Jie's words, Zhang Juzheng felt a little sour in his heart for no reason. "Are you not worried, will I mess up the country?"

"Haha, I have been observing you for more than ten years. If I don't have confidence in you, how can I always regard you as a successor?" Xu Jie smiled and looked at him with a weird look, "You are two completely opposites. You seem radical, but in fact, you are like a teacher in your bones. "Our goal is to help the king Yao and Shun, to treat current problems, and not to be incomparable to the ancestors." Seeing Zhang Juzheng talking, Xu Jie raised his hand slightly and said, "Don't disregard it. The most difficult thing for people is to know themselves. Confucius said, "You know the destiny of heaven at fifty." People cannot truly understand themselves before fifty..."

"If it's a teacher", Zhang Juzheng did not want to face Xu Jie's evaluation, so he turned to ask: "He keeps "new and new all day long...",..."

"Gao Gong's talent is above you." But he is too good at being a human being." Xu Jie replied from another perspective: "If he works for a few years, he will offend everyone, and the emperor will not be able to protect him... But he can open up a situation for his successor. If you can have a way to take over his class, you will achieve endless achievements."

"That's really not easy..." Zhang Juzheng said with a wry smile.

"The wind in the palace, the clouds in the cabinet, and the changes in the court. Who is right?" Xu Jie said lightly: "Besides, you are not fighting alone. Although I stepped down, I will not give up until you become the chief minister."

"The teacher's name, the student has lost his obsession." Zhang Juzheng's smile said even more bitterly: "Zhu Yan and I are both a chicken, but they are one round more than me, and I can't rely on him..."

"Don't worry about this." Xu Jie sneered coldly, "I have a way to stop his thoughts..." Mr. Xu was very arrogant. He had never suffered such a big loss in his life, so he would not give up with Shen Mo.

"Is there any way for the teacher?" Zhang Juzheng said secretly happily.

"You don't have to worry about this matter," Xu Jie said lightly: "Just be yourself."

After finishing the conversation with Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng said goodbye and came out. "Seeing the Pavilion Master out of the inside." The sedan chair bear quickly pressed down the sedan rod and lifted up the sedan curtain.

Looking back at the familiar door again, Zhang Juzheng turned his head firmly, got into the sedan chair and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."

The warm sedan slowly lifted up and moved forward slowly. The distance from the prime minister's house became more and more distant, and Zhang Juzheng felt more and more determined...

Leave all the memories of the past, the reliance of the past, and all the immaturity in the mansion behind you.

From today on, I will be myself, not someone's student. I will face everything alone! I will prove myself that without the protection of my teacher, I can still face the wind and rain, face the difficulties and dangers. In the end, I will soar like a hawk!

Because I am Zhang Juzheng...

Zhang Juzheng and his cabinet were together, and he heard that Feng Bao was coming. It must be because the emperor was impatient for the result, so he asked the eunuch to come and ask questions.

He didn't dare to neglect it. He just took off the heavy cloak and came to the living room in the west. "Sure enough, Feng Bao was wearing a bean green and python and sat leisurely there." While drinking tea, he looked at the interior furnishings. This living room was specially designed by Zhang Juzheng. The house was decorated with elegant and exquisite utensils. Even the small seats in the flower pots were carved from yellow rosewood.

"Eunuch Feng is so elegant." After the screening left and right, Zhang Ju spoke at the door: "It's quite a bit, this heart is leisurely everywhere," he said.

"Haha..." Feng Bao stood up after hearing this," he smiled and bowed to Zhang Juzheng and said, "Just make fun of suffering. Master, don't laugh at me."

The two of them sat down to watch the tea. Zhang Juzheng wanted to contact him, so he was not in a hurry to get to the point. He looked at Feng Bao's clothing with thin, soft and very despicable. He looked at it as a fine silk product. He praised: "The material of this python garment of Eunuch Feng is really exquisite, and it looks very charming when worn......"

"It's just a blind dress..." Feng Bao was modest, but he had already smiled and said, "This is the new tribute fabric from the Suzhou Weaving Bureau." During the Chinese New Year, the emperor rewarded two pieces. If the master likes it, I will ask Xu Jue to give you one.

"A gentleman does not take away what others love." Zhang Juzheng declined: "Besides, I don't feel like wearing new clothes, so don't waste the fabric."

Feng Bao sympathized after hearing this: "It's really hard for the elders."

"We are ministers, for the sake of the emperor." It's nothing to take the blame." Zhang Juzheng said lightly: "My father-in-law just tells the emperor when he goes back that Yuan Weng has long been determined to retire, and now he has decided to leave, so it is useless to force him to stay."

Seeing that he had completed the task successfully, and it seemed that the otter had a lot of skin and no hair was wet. Feng Bao couldn't help but praise: "George is a real master!"

"Eunuch Feng has been awarded too much." Although Zhang Juzheng knew that he was complimenting, he always felt harsh and said softly: "During the Chinese New Year, someone gave me a few paintings, including original works by his predecessors. When Yuan Weng left, the cabinet would be busy for a long time. I don't have time to taste it." As he said, he looked at Feng Bao and said: "Beauties stayed in the empty boudoir, and no one would appreciate the treasures. They are all great sins." So please give me a reward for me."

"This..." Feng Bao is a cultured eunuch. He loves chess, calligraphy and painting, and has great achievements in appraisal and collection, so he cannot withstand the temptation in this regard. However, thinking that he was determined to keep a distance from his foreign ministers, he could only spit out: "As the old man said, a gentleman will not win over what he loves."

How could Zhang Juzheng not know what he was thinking? Otherwise, he would not have bribed him, so he pretended to be a pity and said, "It's a pity that the "Traveling in the Stream and Mountains" and "Poems of Songfeng Pavilion" are about to be cast in secret."

Feng Bao glared at the moment of hearing this, and changed his words with awkward smile: "If the master is too busy, I'll help you with it first, and I'll return it to you after reading it."

"It's so good." Zhang Juzheng successfully bribed and said thank you: "I knew that Brother Yongting was a gentleman. I would definitely pity these calligraphy." Yongting was Feng Bao's name, as a cultured eunuch. Eunuch Feng not only had the name, but also had the name, Shuanglin.

As expected, Feng Baoben was about to leave, and now he sat down again, lowered his voice and said to Zhang Juzheng: "Brother Taiyue, there are two things I should tell you."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Juzheng heard him call him "Taiyue" again and knew that this dead eunuch could still be bought.

Feng Bao glanced out the window and lowered his voice and said, "Do you know who is the idea of ​​this today?"

"I don't know." Zhang Juzheng said calmly.

"It's Chen Hong." Feng Bao blinked his eyes and said with a slight smile and a look of not smiling. "This old thing is neither simple nor simple. You should be careful in the future."

"Whose person is he?" Since Feng Bao mentioned this, Zhang Juzheng had to ask: "I mean, which one of them, he or the outer court?"

"No one is the same as anyone." Feng Bao said: "He is very loyal to the emperor, but he also has a small plan." As he said helplessly, "In fact, he can come back, which is beyond our expectations, because although the emperor has never forgotten him, he originally only wanted him to support him. He did not mean to use him. Later, Teng Xiang asked someone to check his details and found that it was recommended to the emperor before Ma Sen left. Later, the two contacted him. The one who sent a message to them was like a Shao Fang."

Zhang Juzheng nodded silently and remembered this name.

"There is another thing. The emperor sent someone to Henan before the New Year..." Feng Baoxin said, "You give me two treasures and I will give you two priceless news. Isn't this a shame? Then he stood up and said, "Things to come. You think about it yourself. I can't say anything more."

"Thank you, Yongting for your advice," Zhang Juzheng said with his fists.

After seeing Feng Bao off, Zhang Juzheng returned to the duty room, and his heart was ups and downs, saying, "It seems that the emperor also has the desire to revive Gao Gong. I have to hurry up, otherwise I will have nothing to do if I have eaten the soup." So I made up my mind and formally raised this matter next time I meet the saint."

One "one" one, one "one", one "one" one, one "one" one, one "one", one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one,

On the 20th day of the first lunar month of the second year of Longqing, after clarifying Xu Jie's wishes, Emperor Longqing approved his resignation.

When the news came out, the government and the people were shocked. The other three Grand Secretary Li Chunfang, Chen Yiqin, Zhang Juzheng, and the six ministries Yang Bo, Zhao Zhenji and others all submitted memorials, asking the emperor to keep Xu Jie. Longqing only expressed his desire to respect the old man's opinions and did not take them back.

In order to avoid the long night and dreams, Longqing issued an order to summon Xu Jie the next day and give him all kinds of grace and kindness to complete the last step of the Prime Minister's resignation.

Everyone was waiting for Xu Jie's counterattack. If he wanted to stay, there was a way to get the emperor to take it back. However, Xu Jie did not move anyway, just expressed his gratitude and completely accepted the emperor's arrangement.!~! This chapter has been completed
