Chapter 180 Zhang Juzheng's Determination

Chapter 180 Zhang Juzheng's Determination

Zhu Yijun looked at the urgent delivery and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Zhang Juzheng's father's mausoleum was dug up, and his coffin was dissected to expose his body.

This kind of behavior is not cruel.

In this era of emphasizing filial piety, such behavior can be said to be more ruthless than directly killing Zhang Juzheng.

It can be seen how much the extremists among the mobilized thugs hate Zhang Juzheng.

Of course, the so-called outrageous people are actually just people instigated by the landlord class, either they are slaves of the landlord's family, or they are local ruffians.

Zhu Yijun was a little worried that Zhang Juzheng would be heartbroken because of this, and would not dare to insist on restructuring.

However, Zhu Yijun had to admit at this time that the grave digger didn't care much about the royal family.

You must know that Mount Taihui, where Zhang Juzheng's father was buried, was bestowed by Emperor Zhu Yijun.

Now these people have dug up all the burial places granted by the royal family, so naturally they don't even care about the emperor's face.

"Go and ask, what's the situation now, sir?"

"As soon as you have his chapters, hand them over immediately!"

"In addition, go to Fusi of Beizhen and ask the person in charge of Huguang's confidential information if there is any urgent report about Jiangling. If so, send it immediately!"

Zhu Yijun then gave orders.

……

The official residence of the chief assistant.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng also knew about the exhumation of his father's grave from the private letter sent by his family, so he passed out on the spot and only now woke up.

After Zhang Juzheng came to his senses, his younger brother Zhang Jujing came to Zhang Juzheng with the support of two brothers, Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu, leaning on crutches tremblingly, and said with tears in his eyes:

"Brother, now the bad guys have dug up our father's ancestral grave! Do you want to continue to reform?!"

Zhang Jujing was already sick last year, and originally planned to return home early, but because Zhang Juzheng did not allow him to use the inspection certificate given to him by Zhang Lu, the governor of Baoding, that is, to use the certificate of the post station, and he returned home at the post station, he planned to wait until I will return to my hometown after the warm weather this year.

However, Zhang Jujing did not expect that after waiting for a few months, he learned about the digging of his father's grave in Beijing.

Zhang Juzheng did not speak.

Zhang Jujing added: "People from my family wrote to say that not only my father was exhumed and dissected, but those thugs also set fire to our house, and posted a post saying that it was your new policy that caused them to be abandoned by the master's family, so that the meal winds up. Sleeping in the open, begging for food on the street; fortunately, the military and civilians rescued the fire in time, and the family was not burned to the ground."

"However, brother, you really need to think about it again. If the system continues in this way, not only your life and death may be unpredictable, but the life and death of everyone in the Zhang family will also be unpredictable! I'm afraid our parents will also be in trouble!"

Zhang Juzheng got up and patted Zhang Jujing's shoulder: "You go back first, and let father be buried in peace. As for these things that happened, I will ask the magistrate to investigate strictly. I believe Your Majesty will not leave my Zhang family alone."

"Brother!"

"Brother kneels down for you."

Zhang Jujing really knelt down and said: "You are loyal to His Majesty enough to be called the most loyal, why pay the price of not being able to bury your parents in peace, and even the lives of the whole clan, continue like this! "

"What's more, it's not the time when the country is about to perish if it doesn't happen. Why, I, the Zhang family, have to be the only ones who offend the world. Why do you have to be the only one who bears the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty and the rest of the world? Shouldn't the right share one or two?!"

"Please ask His Majesty for a rest!"

"I believe His Majesty will not prohibit you. After all, you have done enough for him. Now you just don't want your parents to be humiliated by the villains, so you have to beg for a rest. Your Majesty is the Son of Benevolence, and will not force you to ignore your parents." Yes!"

Zhang Jujing then continued to persuade.

"Don't say it anymore!"

Zhang Juzheng suddenly scolded Zhang Jujing sharply.

Zhang Jujing hurriedly stayed where he was.

Then, Zhang Juzheng sat back on the chair, as if he was pulling his heart, and said solemnly: "I can't let him be disappointed in me, sir!"

Then, Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Jingxiu: "Help my second uncle to leave."

"Second uncle, let's go."

After Zhang Jingxiu bowed his hands and said yes, he came to help Zhang Jujing.

Zhang Maoxiu also smiled and said to Zhang Jujing: "Second uncle, my nephew recently got a good book. It's about interesting stories about the ruined Tang and Five Dynasties. You must like it."

"Brother, do you only have that student in your heart?"

Zhang Jujing pushed away the hands of Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu, and questioned Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng said in a low tone, "He's not just a student."

"Brother knows, elder brother has his own obsession."

"However, even if you are so indifferent that you ignore the fact that your parents will find it difficult to live in peace in the future, can you also ignore the fate of your sons who will end up in Yan Donglou because of you in the future?!"

Zhang Jujing asked in tears as he spoke.

Zhang Juzheng looked up at Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu, and after a while, he smiled and said: "They are the sons of my Zhang Taiyue, and they will use their lives to protect the Zhang family!"

In history, Zhang Jingxiu did commit suicide, which shocked the whole scholar-officials, and made many scholar-bureaucrats realize that if they were forced to continue like this, their faces would become very dishonored, and they all felt great sympathy for the Zhang family. Xin, began to intercede for the Zhang family.

Zhang Juzheng said this at this time, obviously predicting the future situation, and made this request to Zhang Jingxiu.

Zhang Jingxiu pursed his lips, and only continued to say to Zhang Jujing: "Second Uncle, let's go."

Zhang Jujing stood up very cooperatively this time with the support of Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu.

"Second Uncle, don't worry, my nephew has already sent someone to inform my grandmother, and they are not allowed to let my grandmother know about my grandfather."

Zhang Jingxiu started talking while supporting Zhang Jujing.

Zhang Maoxiu also supported Zhang Jujing and said with a smile: "My nephew will send you the book later, so that you can relieve your boredom on the way?"

Zhang Juzheng looked at the backs of the three of them, mumbling.

"I'm sorry for my father!"

After a long time, suddenly, Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Maoxiu, and Zhang Jujing heard a familiar voice from behind, and they all froze in place.

Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu both turned around and kowtowed to Zhang Juzheng: "Father, don't do this!"

Zhang Juzheng laughed with tears in his eyes, and then waved: "Go."

Then, Zhang Juzheng sat down on the chair behind the desk and wrote chapters.

……

"Mr. Zhang Zou?"

Zhu Yijun looked at the original copy that Zhang Hong handed over, and asked.

Zhang Hong nodded: "Yes, my lord, in accordance with the emperor's decree, the original copy of Yuanfu Mr. Zhang and the prime minister must be delivered to the emperor in time."

"I don't see it!"

"Put it there."

Zhu Yijun turned his face away.

Zhang Hong clapped his hands and said yes, and stepped aside.

But after a while, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but take a look at Zhang Juzheng's Zhang Zou on the case.

Zhu Yijun finally gritted his teeth and picked up Zhang Zuo.

Here, Zhang Hong couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled when he saw this.

"why are you laughing?"

Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Hong's expression, so he asked.

"Old slave, old slave..."

Zhang Hong stuttered.

At this time, Zhu Yijun opened the Zhang Juzheng Zou.

Then, Zhu Yijun discovered that Zhang Juzheng was in the Zhang Zuo, and he was just asking him, the emperor, to abolish the strikes of employees stipulated in the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty or rebelling against their employers. Abolish lowly status and organize shantytowns into the people, and after the census is completed, order each department to compile the number of local poor households for the relief of the imperial court. Also, please urge local officials to strictly implement the official and gentry payment of food when the summer tax collection starts this year Policies on the job.

These things that Zhang Juzheng invited were all things that Zhu Yijun had mentioned to Zhang Juzheng.

They are all for the convenience of the implementation of the new policy that officials and gentry pay food and errands together.

It is necessary to liberate the people of low status, win over the workers at the bottom, and no longer carry out the policy of cruel suppression of squatter refugees.

In order to let the imperial court have a lot of people.

And Zhang Juzheng's sudden presentation of this memorial was undoubtedly to show him, the emperor, his determination to continue reforming the system for him.

As a result, Zhu Yijun's eyebrows gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but gradually curl up.

"Good sir!"

"I'll just say that no wind knife, frost sword will be able to overwhelm him, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhu Yijun spoke with a smile, and then ordered: "Zhang Hong, pass on my decree to call Mr. Zhang to Xinuange!"
