Chapter 137 How I Become Emperor
Historically, Zhang Hong did choose to die on a hunger strike because he was disappointed with some of Wanli's actions.
It's just unexpected that Zhang Hong said such a thing today.
Zhu Yijun didn't express his opinion directly, but just silently looked at the dark clouds outside Zhu's wall.
At this time, layers of dark clouds were surrounding the entire Forbidden City.
The day is like night for a while.
"My lord! If you don't do this, you can only watch Zhang Dang become Xu Dang, and Mr. Zhang becomes the second old Mr. Xu. The key is to continue to respect him and give him the gift of the emperor's teacher. But You can't blame him at all, and you can't ask him about the crime of betraying the emperor and the whole country!"
"They still have to be forced to be puppets by their old disciples, and they can't do anything. Even if their old disciples deceive the emperor, they have to be forgiven on the basis of the teacher-student relationship."
Zhang Jing also choked up when he said that: "And when I think that the emperor will really suffer such grievances, and be so aggrieved as the emperor, slaves are worthless for the emperor!"
Zhang Jing then asked: "It's impossible. He, Zhang Juzheng, really got the help of Zhongxing, and after betraying the emperor, he can continue to be famous as a famous official of Zhongxing, right? And let future generations not know about him. Has been disloyal, has betrayed the emperor?!"
"My lord, in the opinion of this old slave, if Mr. Zhang really agrees to the Xu family and does not restructure the system, the lord can only do what Eunuch Zhang said, and continue to give Mr. Zhang dignity and recognize him as a famous minister of ZTE."
"As the saying goes, if you swallow a broken tooth, your husband should be lenient. What's more, it is rare for a human being to learn to endure, especially the emperor. After all, the emperor is the son of heaven. If you don't bear it, it will be easy to disaster And let the people die!"
"What's more, in my humble opinion, Mr. Zhang has achieved this level as a minister now, and he is more loyal to the country than many ministers."
"To let him die well is to encourage future ministers to keep the country in their hearts."
"The emperor can't really regard his husband as an enemy just because he doesn't want to completely offend the world's rich and powerful!"
Zhang Hong followed suit.
"Zhang Hong! Are you still the emperor's servant?!"
Zhang Jing therefore directly questioned Zhang Honglai.
Zhang Hong replied: "Eunuch Zhang, just because I am the emperor's servant, I would rather die than let the emperor go astray!"
Zhang Jing asked Zhang Hong again: "If Zhang Juzheng really betrayed the emperor, shouldn't he deserve to die?!"
Zhang Hong asked back: "Where is the betrayal! Is it a betrayal if you don't want to change the system?! Is it a rebellion against the emperor, or is it going to abolish the emperor?!"
Zhang Hong then added: "It's nothing more than that Mr. Zhang no longer devoted himself to the king's affairs for the emperor, but he wanted to return to his hometown to raise him. Eunuch Zhang, ask yourself, if you become Liu Jin, would you dare to do the same thing as Liu Jin?" ?!"
"Enough, shut up!"
Zhu Yijun suddenly said something at this moment.
Neither Zhang Hong nor Zhang Jing said a word.
At this time, the rain was already falling densely like a thread, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. Zhu Yijun did not retreat to the hall, but was still facing the wind and rain, thinking about how to deal with it.
The words of Zhang Jing and Zhang Hong kept coming to his mind at this moment.
As long as people have different minds, they will have different views and disagreements, even if they are all eunuchs or civil servants.
Zhu Yijun was not surprised by the differences between Zhang Hong and Zhang Jing, and even felt that what they said was reasonable.
If Zhang Juzheng really chose to accept Xu Jie's summation, then he, the emperor, would really be caught in a dilemma.
Zhu Yijun clearly remembers that he once read a book called "15 Years of Wanli", which mentioned:
In this empire governed by morality and dominated by agricultural economy, no matter whether it is the emperor, civil servants, generals or celebrities, they are not allowed to be free and are bound by ethics.
Over the years, Zhu Yijun has also realized this point. Many times, he can't act rashly and act willfully, even if he is the supreme ruler of this era.
That's all.
Zhu Yijun is not the kind of person who is so selfish that he does his own thing without caring about anyone's feelings.
Therefore, he can accept being bound by some rules in life.
Provided that.
This restraint was so great that he felt it was worth it.
If he can ensure that he can live a relatively free, peaceful, rich and luxurious life for a longer period of time, so that his own value can be reflected and he can gain a sense of spiritual accomplishment.
Because of this, from the first year of Wanli to the seventh year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun insisted on participating in the banquet and accepting lectures.
Rain and snow are not wasteful, but minor illnesses are inevitable.
Get up early and go to bed early, never be late.
But the motivation for him to seriously participate in various grand ceremonies is because he can reassure the world by doing so, and it can also make Zhang Juzheng more at ease to carry out reforms, so that he can see that the national treasury has more and more silver deposits, and what can be done to open up new territories There are more and more things to open up the ground, and more and more good news have been received.
However, if Zhang Juzheng does not reform the system now, and even formally colludes with Xu Jie and the Jiangnan gentry behind him, and restricts his imperial power so that he can no longer reform his empire according to his own wishes, then he will naturally not I am willing to do these boring and energy-consuming things again.
In fact, Zhu Yijun also thought about what Zhang Juzheng would do if he was no longer willing to continue to restructure for him.
After all, Zhu Yijun has to admit that what he wants is not only to complete the Wanli reform in history, but also to make greater reforms, so that he can really become a country that is not restricted by ethics, but can transform Chinese civilization, and can be more willful. emperor.
And this means Zhang Juzheng has to do more for him.
It is more likely that Zhang Juzheng will not do it, and he may also hinder him from doing so on behalf of the entire bureaucratic group.
And he might also be able to go on strike and lie flat like the original history, not to mention not participating in the grand ceremony, and not even appointing ministers and ministers.
Adopt a method of non-violence and non-cooperation, pull everyone in the entire empire to sink, and finally let Man Qing seize the world.
Anyway, non-violent non-cooperation, because it does not touch the fundamental interests of the world's dignitaries, officials and gentry, there will not be too much risk.
After all, the rich and powerful officials and gentry in the world will not take the risk of the nine clans to get rid of the emperor because of the emperor's laziness in governing.
But with the pissing nature of scholar-bureaucrats, as long as they are not too violent to them, they will not blacken His Majesty the Emperor too hard.
Because the Venerable has three taboos.
As for future generations, he doesn't need to worry about it anymore, anyway, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
As the saying goes, after I die, I don't care about the flood.
Who doesn't want to live a life in peace.
What's more, according to the original historical development, no matter how bad he is, he will not become the king of subjugation, and he can undoubtedly indulge in sensuality for a lifetime.
But when Zhu Yijun thought of the series of future Ming military strategies submitted by the Privy Council, the confirmed preparations for fighting against the Japanese, Yu Dayou's smashing of fine wine to conquer the Japanese, Qi Jiguang's long-cherished wish for Haiboping, and his own inner thoughts He was still not reconciled when his thoughts of going out to see the great rivers and mountains were all in vain because of his self-abandonment.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun also asked himself in his heart: "Could it be that without Zhang Juzheng's support, can everything be done?"
In fact, Zhu Yijun has always been very clear that as a person with independent personality, he can trust one person, but cannot completely rely on one person.
Because the strong cannot have the mentality of relying on whom, like ordinary people, they cannot have the mentality of relying on the emperor, ancestors, Bodhisattvas, or even relying on their parents at home and friends when they go out.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun had already thought about what to do by himself?
That is, if he is really unwilling, what should he do when Zhang Juzheng does not support him to continue the reform, and he is unwilling to lie flat and be an inactive emperor?
Zhu Yijun felt that if this was the case, he would have to do more radical things, that is, lift the dragon chair he was sitting on now, and then try to win over most of the people who were unwilling to let the big landlords, big bureaucrats and foreign captives harm the people of the country. , to create a new dragon chair.
And in this way, it is not reform, but the overthrow of conservative and reactionary big landlords, corrupt and corrupt bureaucrats, and foreign barbarians who covet China.
Because these three have always been connected by flesh and blood and worked together, so if you really want to cut down the old dragon chair, you can't just cut off one chair leg.
However, the price of doing so must be very high, and there is a high chance that it will cost one's life.
In addition, now is not the time to really subjugate the country, so Zhu Yijun has not fully made up his mind.
And thinking that civil servants in the world have not always been monolithic, and even tend to be crazily introverted, Zhu Yijun still has the intention to take advantage of this and boil frogs in warm water to complete his reform goals.
Zhu Yijun was still asking in his heart at this moment: "Is there really only one Zhang Juzheng in this world? Could it be that personal power can really change the general trend of the monarch becoming more and more centralized?"
After Zhu Yijun asked, he looked at the screen given to him by Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun in the past, and looked at the name on the screen, without saying a word for a while.
