Chapter 136 The Eunuch Disagreement
After Zhang Jingxiu heard this, he couldn't help asking Zhang Juzheng: "So according to father's intention?"
Zhang Juzheng sighed: "As a father, it's hard to say what to do now, I can only admit that Xu Huating is a clever man, as a father, I really want to betray His Majesty because of this, and join hands with him to end the restructuring, in exchange for my father's personal and The Zhang family is stable, His Majesty is afraid that he can only accept this ending."
Zhang Jingxiu nodded after listening.
Immediately, Zhang Jingxiu suddenly came to Zhang Juzheng and said, "Father, in fact, the boy and the second brother have been keeping something from you! It's not convenient for you to know."
"Since it's inconvenient, don't say it!"
Zhang Juzheng didn't wait for Zhang Jingxiu to finish speaking, he immediately scolded.
Zhang Jingxiu shut his mouth in fright, and knelt down.
"As a man, standing between heaven and earth, you can't even hide a few secrets!"
"Although you are the eldest son of the Zhang family, you can't really regard yourself as your father's slave. A servant of the Zhang family has to tell your father everything."
"Remember, you are the master of the Zhang family in the future, and you need to have your own opinions and secrets."
"Some things, as long as they are beneficial to the preservation of the Zhang family, even if you die, you can't say it!"
"Yes!"
"As the saying goes, a daughter-in-law who is in charge of the family can hide things from both sides. Although you are a son and not a daughter-in-law, you should do the same. You should hide what you have to hide!"
Zhang Juzheng educated Zhang Jingxiu.
Zhang Jingxiu hastily continued to respond: "What the father said is true, the child will remember."
"Just remember."
"Get up."
Zhang Juzheng said something, and then said: "Besides, a vicious person who can give away his granddaughter like a maidservant is not worthy of you as a father, so you can rest assured of what he said !"
Zhang Juzheng said again: "When Yan Fenyi fell from power back then, I never saw him being so merciful to his in-laws. It will be the same when you are in charge of your affairs in the future. Although you can't offend such a ruthless person, you still need to be careful three points,"
"Father said so!"
Zhang Jingxiu stood up, replied, and asked, "Then what should we do?"
"Don't refuse, don't agree, and don't wait too long."
"After all, it's not certain whether His Majesty will really be willing to accept this result, so you should do what you have to do, and everything will be discussed after Ma Tongzhou and Shenwu County return to Beijing."
Zhang Juzheng said.
……
Because of what Zhang Juzheng said, Zhang Jingxiu immediately came to Zhang Jing's place and told Zhang Jing about Xu Jie's intentions.
Zhang Jing told Zhu Yijun about it.
Zhu Yijun, who was facing the case, did not say anything immediately after hearing this, but stopped the pen in his hand, threw it aside, and then came to the outside of the hall with his hands behind his back, watching a large piece of blue sky and white clouds sweeping towards the front of him like a thousand troops. When the dark clouds were moving, he couldn't help saying: "Is this going to change the sky?"
Zhang Jing walked behind Zhu Yijun: "Go back to the emperor, it must be."
Zhu Yijun suddenly asked: "Why is Zhang Jingxiu willing to report such a thing?"
"Sheng Ming has never failed the emperor, this is indeed a strange thing, it shows that Mr. Yuanfu Zhang has not made up his mind to betray the emperor."
Zhang Jing replied.
Zhu Yijun smiled slightly: "Yes! Mr. is Mr., and you won't be led by the nose so easily! But if Mr. really makes up his mind, he will retreat bravely and take in the young and beautiful nine girls from the Xu family. Do you think I can't do anything about it, sir?"
Zhang Jing fell silent.
to be frank.
For Zhu Yijun, Xu Jie, who has already retired from office, has already caused him enough headaches. An opportunity he couldn't refuse, and the emperor would become a real loner;
And if Zhang Juzheng really fell to the side of Xu Jie and the Jiangnan gentry behind him, and joined forces with them, then Zhu Yijun's road to reform Daming would undoubtedly become more difficult.
After all, this is equivalent to him having to deal with Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie at the same time.
"Xu Huating!"
Zhu Yijun recited Xu Jie's name silently in his heart, and gritted his teeth.
According to his current mood, he really wanted to cut Xu Jie into pieces.
Because Xu Jie wanted to completely pull his husband to the side of the dignitaries and gentry so that he could no longer pretend, and he had to be prepared to deal with the two old foxes Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie at the same time.
And Zhu Yijun knew that although Zhang Juzheng was willing to change the system, according to his understanding of Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng was unwilling to change the fundamental interests of the big landlords and big bureaucrats.
As for the current reform, apart from the fact that one whip has not been implemented nationwide, among Zhang Juzheng's historical reforms, the examination method and Qingzhang Tianmu, the examination method has been implemented for many years, and the Qingzhang Tianmu is nearing completion, so if Zhang Juzheng is really unwilling to move If the fundamental interests of the big landlords and big bureaucrats are violated, then naturally there will be no motivation to continue the reform.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly possible for Zhang Juzheng to agree to Xu Jie's request for peace, and at the same time work together to suppress his emperor's desire to continue reforming.
But Zhang Ju is the one who knows Zhu Yijun's details best.
Therefore, once Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie join forces, it can be said that it will become more difficult for Zhu Yijun to continue to do something.
Because of this, Zhu Yijun hated Xu Jie very much in his heart at this time, hated Xu Jie for being so cruel that he dared to make his daughter a victim, and also hated his clever methods, so clever that he used a trick commonly used by later generations of big companies, that is, they merged if they couldn't beat them.
"My lord! This servant boldly said, if Mr. Yuanfu Zhang really betrayed you and the people of the country, the lord might as well punish him directly!"
Zhang Jing suddenly knelt down and said to Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun was startled when he heard this.
Zhang Jing continued: "The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can the Son of Heaven be manipulated by others and become a silk puppet?"
"What's more, how can the emperor allow his courtiers to counter him?"
"Besides, the emperor should be overbearing. This is what Mr. Zhang told the emperor himself."
"If we really want to reach that point, the emperor might as well use thunderous means to do it. There is no emperor in this dynasty who wants to kill someone but can't."
"As long as Mr. Zhang is not the living Mr. Zhang, the rest will be easy to handle. It is nothing more than to give grace to stabilize some of the civil servants, and then gradually replace some of the civil servants with internal ministers, go to the local guards, and serve as guarding eunuchs!"
"My lord! This old slave thinks it's impossible!"
Zhang Hong, who was already on duty by Zhu Yijun's side, knelt down hurriedly after hearing that Zhang Jing came in to report the news and advised Zhu Yijun to prepare to kill Zhang Juzheng and reuse the eunuch's advice, and followed suit.
Zhang Jing didn't expect that Zhang Hong would object, so he couldn't help but continued: "My lord, this is also the method used by the previous emperors to check and balance the foreign dynasties and ignore the emperor! It's not impossible for the emperor to do it! Could it be said that all the former emperors were not sages?"
Zhang Hong followed suit and said, "The emperor's lesson!"
"Most of the eunuchs are older than the deep palace, and they don't know the feelings of the local subordinates as well as the scholar-bureaucrats. In addition, they are so cruel because they dare to mutilate their lives, and they are more arrogant because they are slaves of the emperor;"
"Therefore, once the eunuchs go out to govern, they will only be more corrupt than the scholar-bureaucrats, and they will only be worse than the scholar-bureaucrats when they plunder the people."
"Because the scholar-bureaucrats still have scruples about the sentiments and material opinions of the local people, and they dare not be too foolish, but the eunuchs don't have these scruples. Let them fight against the powerful right for the emperor. They are afraid that they will not dare, but let them collude with the local powerful right to aggravate the small people. I'm afraid it's very courageous to exploit you!"
"After all, they know that they are the emperor's family slaves, and the emperor will not believe in domestic slaves but trust foreign officials."
As he said that, Zhang Hong kowtowed and said, "So, I beg the emperor not to listen to Eunuch Zhang's words!"
Zhang Jinghan lowered his face.
Zhu Yijun was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Zhang Hong would not want him to reuse eunuchs to make his personal power even greater.
You must know that if Zhu Yijun reused eunuchs, and really sent eunuchs to serve as eunuchs in various places, instead of governors and soldiers, the most beneficial would be eunuchs like Zhang Hong, especially Zhang Hong, the eunuch who controlled the promotion and promotion of eunuchs.
Then, Zhang Hong said again: "In addition, my lord, Mr. Zhang is a minister who seeks the country and is also the emperor's teacher. And in the foolish opinion of the old slave, my Ming Dynasty really can't kill such a minister who seeks the country innocently! "
Zhang Hong sobbed as he spoke, and said: "After all, the emperor, you have to think about your future holiness and even the foundation of your future children and grandchildren. If you kill ministers like this, it will only make the ministers look like slaves." Like a domestic slave, he only knows how to flatter, but not the common people of the country!"
Zhang Hong then resolutely said: "If the emperor really wants to do this, the old slave would rather go on a hunger strike than see the emperor do such a thing!"
