Chapter 131

Chapter 131

In fact, after Zhu Yijun got married, Zhang Juzheng was already thinking about "begging for a rest".

The previous Duoqing incident and the recent clean-up incident also made him feel more and more pressure from the reactionaries. Moreover, from time to time, some officials still impeached him and attacked him.

Even now, He Xinyin also denounced him for "punishing without teaching", just like a cruel official.

Of course, more importantly, his emperor's students also expressed disappointment in him.

Disappointed that he can't strictly discipline himself, but can only strictly demand the emperor and the people.

In addition, Zhu Yijun's maturity in politics, that is, his understanding of the concept of "controlling the people" is not as good as "benefiting the people", and even mentioned "respect Mr., but more respect for the righteous way of governing the country", and he is now criticizing He Xinyin. He Xinyin's so-called "civil rights" thought was immature and outdated, and would only exacerbate the chaos, which also made Zhang Juzheng feel that Zhu Yijun didn't need him anymore and could already govern the empire by himself.

He doesn't even have to worry that there will be a deviant like He Xinyin who will influence the emperor, such as the emperor wants to give up his position to become a monk, or the monarch of the Yan Kingdom in the Warring States period imitated the ancients and placed himself in the place of a virtuous person, which would accelerate the demise of the Yan Kingdom. Come on.

Because he knew that the emperor already had his own independent thinking ability.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng's desire to retreat bravely became more and more serious at this moment.

Of course, he was indeed tired.

There was a lot of pressure both physically and psychologically.

The betrayal and scolding of the disciples, the disappointment of the monarch, the dissatisfaction of the tribe, including the dissatisfaction of the two sons, and the betrayal of the slaves.

Zhang Juzheng has indeed experienced a lot of human unbearable pain in these years.

Because of this, Zhang Juzheng sometimes wanted to "beg for a rest" and let the emperor reform the system himself.

But is the time for "begging for rest" really ripe?

Zhang Juzheng wanted to know the answer from Shen Li, so he mentioned to Shen Li that he wanted to quit.

Shen Li didn't respond, he seemed to pretend that he didn't hear Zhang Juzheng's words, and he didn't seem to have heard Zhang Juzheng's words, but only responded to Zhang Juzheng's last sentence: "Student understands, thank you, Master, for your enlightenment!"

With that said, Shen Li left.

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng let out an "hey" and intentionally called Shen Li back.

Shen Li stopped, turned around and asked, "What else can Master teach you?"

Zhang Juzheng thought about it, and finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go."

"Students leave."

Shen Li also left again.

In the end, Zhang Juzheng still didn't ask Shen Li about whether he wanted to retire.

He knew that Shen Li would not dare to tell the truth, even if he really heard it.

"I am not a phase, but a photograph!"

Thinking of the words he said in the past, Zhang Juzheng knew that civil servants and military generals might be a little afraid of him, and they would also worry that his resignation might be a kind of temptation. Afraid of saying something wrong.

Zhang Juzheng was in the cabinet the next day, and was preparing to write a book for "begging for rest", when Shen Li brought Fang Fengshi, the privy envoy, and Pan Sheng, the Minister of Rites, to the cabinet.

"Master, please forgive the student for committing crimes without reporting!"

Shen Li first bowed to Zhang Juzheng, and said: "Just because the master has the idea of ​​'begging for rest', the students have to be brave to do it for the common people of the country! I especially invite the prime minister and the great master to come to the cabinet to persuade the master."

As Shen Li spoke, he looked at Zhang Siwei and Wang Guoguang and said, "And let the elders of the two pavilions know about it. After all, the students are soft-spoken, so I'm afraid they can't persuade the teacher to change his mind."

After the establishment of the Privy Council, the civil servants took the initiative to call Fang Fengshi "Private Minister" to show his dignity, just like cabinet ministers were often called Xiangguo, and his students also called cabinet ministers "Master Xiang".

In terms of showing dignity and dignity, for civil servants, the ancestral system is not important.

"Uncle, do you want to beg for a rest?!"

When Wang Guoguang and Zhang Siwei saw that Shen Li, Fang Fengshi, and Pan Sheng had come to the cabinet, they all stood up, and Wang Guoguang asked a question before walking towards Zhang Juzheng.

Pan Sheng also said, "Uncle, you can't retreat right now!"

"Why can't the servant retreat?"

"My servant has retired, just right, so I will recommend Uncle Da Zong to join the cabinet! I know that Uncle Da Zong is a man who is loyal to the country, and will not let the things I do be paid for in vain."

Zhang Juzheng added after asking with a smile.

"Uncle, you think I'm acting out of publicity or selfishness."

"I think you really can't back down now. If you back out, the New Deal will fall short!"

"Once you retreat, it will be difficult for people to persevere later."

"It's not that everyone is you Zhang Taiyue, but you have the courage to make the powerful and powerful lose one or two to benefit the country!"

"Even if Xiao Gui Cao Sui, but Xiao He is Xiao He, Cao Can is Cao Can, Cao Can can't replace Xiao He!"

Pan Sheng spoke at this moment.

Because he is older than Zhang Juzheng and has more qualifications than Zhang Juzheng, he also called Zhang Juzheng by words.

Wang Guoguang followed suit and said, "Uncle, you really can't withdraw now! You haven't completed the clearing of Zhang Zhang's fields, and your Majesty's farming and mausoleum ceremony have not yet been completed, why are you refunding?!"

Wang Guoguang called Zhang Juzheng because he was anxious, and after asking Zhang Juzheng sharply, he hurriedly added:

"I know that you are thinking about the future, and you also think that you should return the power to His Majesty, but His Majesty may really not want to let you retire now, and you may not be happy that you have given up your pick at this time!"

"Even if you want to withdraw, you should talk about it after these two ceremonies are completed."

"Only when you bring His Majesty to complete the farming ceremony, can the people of the world know that this new policy will be handed over to His Majesty yourself!"

"What's more important is the mausoleum visit ceremony. This is the first time His Majesty has gone out of Beijing to pay homage to the ancestral mausoleum. If Shu Da doesn't take this opportunity, he will lead His Majesty to tell the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty the outline of the New Deal. How can the New Deal be decided just like that? A national policy that should be followed for the recognition of the ancestors?"

"To put it bluntly, once you, Uncle, accompany His Majesty to complete the Ceremony of Plowing Land and Visiting the Mausoleum, and let the people of the world know that His Majesty has become a wise emperor who can rule alone under your support, even if there is a change in the future, your Uncle It won't be Huo Guang's downfall."

"After all, if His Majesty really wants to be bewitched by villains, if he does something ruthless, it will hurt his own face. With the emperor's knowledge, how could he do such a thing that hurts his face?!"

Wang Guoguang continued.

"Yeah, Yuanfu, Qingzhang Tianmu has not yet been completed, many new policies have not yet been launched, and the strategy for military affairs formulated by the Privy Council has just begun. After returning to Beijing, Shen Erge's old inspectors will talk about it, and ask them about the situation of their inspections, should they add new national policies?"

"If you don't need to add more, it's not too late to retreat, so that the latecomers can follow suit, and it's really a match between monarch and minister, with a beginning and an end."

Fang Fengshi also persuaded him.

Zhang Siwei also came over at this time and said, "Yuanfu, what they said is reasonable."

As he said that, Zhang Siwei bowed to Zhang Juzheng and cried, "You really can't retreat!"

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly supported Zhang Siwei who was the most excited, and said: "Forget it! What you said is reasonable, let's talk about it after the two ceremonies are over."

Seeing this, Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief and laughed too.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Shen Li, and said calmly: "Very good, now I'm learning to connect with ministers behind my back as a teacher, it's true that I don't care about the dignity of teachers for the country!"

"Teacher calm down!"

Shen Li hurriedly bowed his hands.

Zhang Juzheng laughed: "That's all! You, Shen Zhonghua, have always had your own ideas!"

Not long after, Zhu Yijun learned from Zhang Jing that Zhang Juzheng was going to beg for a rest, and he stood up in a moment of panic: "What happened in the end?"

Then, without waiting for Zhang Jing's answer, Zhu Yijun said to himself: "It seems that I have been too independent these days, which made my husband not only start to be really strict with himself, but also let him have such thoughts!

Zhang Jing replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry. In the end, Master Shen led Fang, Pan Ergong, and the second minister of the cabinet to persuade Mr. Zhang to give up his intention of begging for a rest."
