Chapter 111 Excited
The mouth cannon failed.
The ice is three feet long and it takes a day to be cold. Zhang Han has been unable to stand Zhang Juzheng for a long time, and it is not something that Chen Mu can say in just a few words.
If you really want to talk about hatred, Zhang Han and Zhang Juzheng are far from being the case. However, during the past time they worked together, Zhang Han had resentment for Zhang Juzheng's monopoly of power, and Zhang Juzheng was also unwilling to accept Zhang Han, who should have been on his side of the situation.
The old man is not the kind of person who is very ambitious. If this matter is Gao Gong, persuasion may still work, but for Zhang Han, persuasion is useless.
次日朝议,本该在宫门外打得皮开肉绽的四个翰林并未挨揍,皇帝也没打算提,实在压在心里受不了的翰林院长官王锡爵率先出班让皇帝对夺情之事再做考虑,先把那四个年轻翰林放了.
It's true that Chen Mu, who was standing in the court, saw the little emperor's mouth with a reserved smile, as if he was trying his best to enjoy this moment of freedom. Although Empress Dowager Li was behind the curtain, Zhang Juzheng, who was actually in charge, was not here. The empress dowager gave the little emperor enough face in the court and asked the emperor what he thought in advance.
This kind of smile makes the court officials who are thinking about their worries feel unfathomable, while a small group of people will only feel stupid.
Chen Mu belonged to the latter, and he knew very well that this was the feeling of the emperor looking for power.
Since the old man of the Zhang family passed away, Chen Mu met the little emperor and heard him say "in charge of the rule" several times, "waiting for him to govern" and "Mr. Zhang returned to govern", which was something that had never happened before.
The little emperor's impatient experience just shows that Chen Mu cultivated the sense of honor of the empire through several indirect methods to show initial results.
Xiao Wanli ignored Wang Xijue at all, and smiled and asked Uncle Wang to stand back to the court. It seemed that a few days ago, he issued an angrily edict to kill the four Hanlins. He symbolically asked about the recent situation of Beiyang military training, the military affairs of Jizhen and Liaodong, and then he ordered the six officials of the government to ask about politics.
From the local examination of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue budget taxes, funeral pensions for the hometown of the Ministry of Rites and tribute arrangements from various countries, to the Ministry of Works’ river water conservancy.
After he finished his addiction to being the emperor, the morning court had already worked until noon. The officials in the court, who were the first to the court, could no longer stand and listen to the court. The emperor asked the eunuchs to bring chairs and let a group of old men sit and listen.
The military officer was fine, but even if the young officials stood there for a whole morning, they could not resist it. From time to time, they would sound a few sounds of stomach rumbling. The emperor was only young and didn't know how hungry they were. He listened with relish and said a few useless nonsense from time to time.
Chen Mu was in good spirits and looked at the old man Zhang Han and others at the front who were given a chair by the emperor to sit down and listen to the court discussion. He was not in the military officer list nor in the civil servant list. He stood with a group of unlucky nobles and did not get on the chair. Some people kept muttering quietly, the emperor in front and the nobles behind also muttered quietly, making the court discussion that was already unaware of was even more chaotic.
It was not until someone gave a book on the ground that he was thrown to the ground by the emperor that the court squad calmed down.
Xiao Wanli was not angry, but just sneered in a small way and said to Zhang Jing who picked up the memorial, "Read it, read it loudly, let all the officials of the court listen to it, whose leave book is this!"
This was the day before yesterday, and I'm afraid the emperor would be so angry that he would jump up, but now he is not angry.
Anger comes from dissatisfaction with the reality and no means to change. At present, Wanli, who is relaxed, has already had the means to bother others. If you want to hold it in your heart, you will naturally not get angry again.
Zhang Jing had originally built the memorial that was thrown on the ground and was trembling. He knelt down and picked it up. At the request of the emperor, he just opened the memorial and his eyes straightened. He looked up at the emperor and looked down at the memorial. He was stiff and neither dared to get up nor read it.
Until Wanli urged again: "Read it out and read it loudly."
"Your Majesty clearly understands, do you think Zhang Juzheng is really beneficial to the country? Although Zhang Juzheng has made achievements in his talent, his academic foundation is not the right way; although his ambition is lofty, he is too stubborn."
It was difficult for Zhang Jing to read this memorial with a hard time. He felt so regretful that his heart was so blue. If he had known that the letter was written, he would not dare to accept it even if he had even brought a gold brick to him. You, Zou Yuanbiao, was a disciple of Wang Xue's true teachings. Isn't it nonsense to say that Zhang Juzheng's academic foundation is not the right way?
The little eunuch looked at the emperor with fear, but saw the emperor chuckling and nodding, and did not forget to turn his head and whisper something to Empress Dowager Li, who was standing on the curtain. Then he raised his hand and said, "So, don't stop if I don't say anything."
"Some of his policies and measures are unreasonable, such as the number of students enrolled in prefectures and counties is limited to 15 or 16. In order to cater to his will, the relevant government offices have reduced the number even further, which is not a broad way to select talents."
"There are also a certain number of prisoners sentenced in various places. The relevant departments are afraid of being punished, so they must pursue surplus in terms of quantity. This is the punishment being implemented too uncontrollable."
"The minister took his salary and lived a life of silence. The minister was afraid of being punished and kept silent. Some people expressed their opinions today, but were condemned tomorrow. This is because the road to the upper and lower levels is not smooth."
"The Yellow River is flooding, and some people regard grassland as their homes and drink water to fill their hunger, but the relevant departments turn a blind eye. This is the suffering of the people that has not been relieved."
"There are countless others such as appointing cruel officials and burying outstanding talents. I respectfully read the emperor's edict, which said: Your Majesty's studies have not been completed and his ambitions have not been determined, so the gentleman left Your Majesty and let all his previous efforts be wasted."
"Your Majesty said this, it is really an endless blessing for the country. But even so, those who assist in completing the emperor's studies and establishing the emperor's ambitions cannot be said to be that the court has no such thing!"
"Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng was having a funeral for his parents and could still be kept. If he unfortunately passed away, would His Majesty's studies never be completed? Is it impossible for him to be sure of his ambition? I saw Zhang Juzheng's memorial saying: There are extraordinary people in the world before they can do extraordinary things."
"This is a person who regards attending funerals as things and disdains to do it. Who doesn't know that only by abiding by the five moral ethics of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and trustworthiness can he be called a human being. Now, this person does not take care of his parents when he is alive, does not go to attend funerals when his parents die, and still boasts himself as extraordinary. People do not think that he has lost his conscience, but thinks he is a pig, dog, and beast. Can this be called an extraordinary person?"
"If the minister said such words in his memorial, he would probably be severely punished. The Ministry of Justice observed that Zou Yuanbiao was ready to accept the punishment. Every memorial was heartfelt, and I hope that Your Majesty could listen to it."
After reading the memorial, the vast court officials were silent. Zhang Jing was almost crying with the edict. The Hanlin Dean Wang Xijue was even more in tears. He tried hard to save the four Hanlins from prison. Now, with this memorial, even if the four people had nothing to do, they were in trouble now.
Although Wang Xijue thinks that Zou Yuanbiao's words are correct, he can't say that.
"whee!"
In the terrible quietness, the little emperor covered his mouth and smiled on the dragon throne, just like eating fruit, so happy that he couldn't hide his eyebrows. He stretched out his small hand and asked the ministers excitedly: "Is there anything like this - the mother is a little restless, can the son see and hear such a memorial, does not correctly indicate that the way of speech is smooth?"
"Are there any ministers who think this way? Let me take advantage of the fact that they all stand up today and let me see it quickly!"
