- "Your Majesty is here!"
Duke Cheng Guo, who was sitting on a chair and taking a nap, immediately jumped up when he heard the sound, and rushed out to pick up the driver with a radiant face.
Zhang Juzheng and Yang Bo also quickly followed.
"Your Majesty, did you remember the wrong date?"
Wang Ting and Mao Kai, the two leaders of the Xu Party, looked at each other and felt that this was a coincidence. Why is it that when Mr. Xu Ge lay down on his front legs, His Majesty rushed over on his back legs?
The two old men didn't think much and hurried out to greet them.
Then they saw Emperor Longqing, dressed in vermilion robes and wearing a black gauze winged crown. With the support of Teng Xiang and Feng Bao, he got off the chariot with a spring breeze on his face.
"My dear friends, please be safe." Long Qing smiled and helped Duke Cheng, and Zhu Xizhong quickly stood up and bowed to help Chen Hong support the emperor.
"I and your lords should do their best to carry out their errands. How dare you disturb the Holy Master?"
"Hey, old man. After all, this is my first competition." Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "It's not easy for me, the examiner, to just step in and be the boss."
As he said that, he pretended to look around.
"Hey, where is Yuan Fu?"
"Back to Your Majesty." Mr. Zhang smoothed his long silky beard and replied coolly: "Yuan Fu feels unwell. He is in bed today and has been informed."
"Really? It doesn't matter, right?" Emperor Longqing said nervously.
¡°It shouldn¡¯t be a big deal, I just lie down for a while and come over when you can get out of bed.¡± Zhang Juzheng took advantage of the opportunity to introduce his condition and hinted to the emperor.
Long Qing understood what he meant, and said to Teng Xiang: "You take the imperial doctor to visit Yuan Fu on my behalf, and say it is my will, and ask Yuan Fu to stay in bed and rest for two days. I have everything here, so he doesn't have to worry."
??????????????????????????? Then he said: "And Xu Fan, let him put down all the errands at hand and take good care of my old father these two days."
"Yes." Eunuch Teng responded, and Dian Dian'er went to deliver the order.
"Okay everyone, since Yuan Fu is not here, we have to work harder." The emperor clapped his hands and walked into the Wenhua Hall first.
"Your Majesty is so spirited!" Duke Chengguo immediately offered today's flattery. "I am so lucky this year."
"Oh, haha, it's just a matter of duty." Emperor Longqing was in a good mood, flexing his arms and pretending to be a big fight.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? All looked at Mr. Zhang, really hoping that the second-ranking figure in the Xu Party would come up with an idea.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng only spread his hands and followed him into the hall.
"What do you mean by spreading your hands?"
Wang Ting looked at Mao Kai, Mao Kai looked at Lei Li, and Lei Li looked at Ma Sen. These four subordinates were all promoted by Mr. Xu Ge and were known as the Four King Kongs of the Xu Party. Seeing that the deputy leader did not give instructions, they were all a little confused at the moment.
"Just do whatever you want." Yang Bo was quite happy about his misfortune. He patted Wang Zongxian on the shoulder and followed him in.
??~~
In the Golden Palace, the emperor ascended his throne.
The eleven readers were all confused and stood there at a loss.
??The routine they are familiar with is to first determine most of the rankings, and then leave a dozen papers for readingand these dozen papers must include the top ten in the examination.
When the sealing officer seals the papers and packs them, he will deliberately place the top ten papers at the end of each bunch. So the examiners can find them out without looking at their names.
For example, the Huiyuan scroll must be placed in the last one in the bundle with the character ¡®¹ï¡¯; the tenth place is the last one in the bundle with the character ¡®Jia¡¯¡
The readers found these ten people and put them aside with a few lucky ones.
????????????????????????????????????????????????? Tomorrow, the emperor will come to the Wenhua Hall, and the reader will read in front of him, and the top ten will be decided, and that¡¯s it.
Now that the emperor has arrived one day early, what should be the process?
Emperor Longqing was a little happy. In the past, he was tricked by these big guys, but this time he finally tricked them again.
Zhang Juzheng still had the decision-making power, and immediately ordered the officials to start reading the papers to the emperor.
Zhu Dashou quickly picked up the paper for the fourth place in the examination to test his firepower, and began to read in a cadence in front of the emperor.
Emperor Longqing patiently listened to the 3,000-word policy statement and looked at the clepsydra in the corner of the palace. Almost two quarters of an hour had passed.
¡°No wonder the examiner only prepared twelve copies,¡± he said to himself. It was already dark after listening to the papers. No matter how many copies he had, it would be useless.
"I wonder what your Majesty's holy will is?" Zhang Juzheng asked for instructions.
Looking at Master Zhang,With his cool eyes, Emperor Longqing returned to the heart-to-heart talk between emperor and ministers that day.
??~~
That day in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Longqing held Master Zhang¡¯s hand and cried:
"Now, no matter what I say or do, someone will find fault. It's not just two people, but a whole nest together."
"Every time I express my opinion at a court meeting, someone will inevitably jump out and say that my idea is immature and incomplete. Immediately afterwards, a group of people agree, citing classics and scriptures to demonstrate how naive my idea is and what unimaginable consequences it will lead to. .¡±
Then I heard Emperor Longqing murmuring aggrievedly:
"I am also an emperor, and I also want to save face. Every time I open my mouth, I am embarrassed and lose all my face. After you say this so many times, who is willing to speak again?"
"I said okay, then I'll shut up, and you guys said it, right? Who would have thought that within a month, they would report that I have intellectual problems? It made me look like an idiot."
"I am so angry that I wanted to punish several officials for venting their anger, but they were all stopped by Mr. Xu Ge. Master Zhang, do you think you would be willing to go to court if it were you?"
"So I simply hide in the palace, out of sight"
Zhang Juzheng listened with a deep expression, thinking in his heart that if it were me, I would have been like your father, unable to take care of themselves.
He is a bystander and naturally understands that the civil servants are just trying to show off their power to the new monarch.
When the late Emperor Jiajing first succeeded to the throne, he suffered much worse than Emperor Longqing.
Because Jiajing was the vassal king who succeeded to the throne. Therefore, not long after he ascended the throne, a civil servant group headed by Chief Assistant Yang Tinghe demanded that the emperor change his parents in accordance with the old rules of succession in the Han and Song Dynasties, and recognize Emperor Chenghua and Empress Dowager Zhang as his parents. Jiajing refused, so the two sides started a protracted and fierce battle over who was Jiajing's father and whether Jiajing's biological father could be granted the imperial title.
At the climax of the struggle, Yang Shen, the elder of the Xiaoge, led 240 court officials and knelt down at Zuoshun Gate to cry and remonstrate.
Talented scholar Yang even raised his arms and shouted out a famous saying:
"The country has been supporting scholars for 150 years, and today is the day of sacrifice for righteousness!"
He also threatened everyone: ¡®If anyone fails to fight now, we will attack them together! ¡¯
The result was a crying incident that shocked the world.
Jiajing asked the eunuchs who were responsible for the ceremony to leave the palace to persuade them to no avail, so he had to order the Jinyi guards to kill chickens to scare the monkeys, and captured eight of them and sent them to prison.
As a result, Yang Shen and the ministers burst into tears, and their cries passed through the three halls and directly reached the Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Jiajing was so furious that he directly sent five hundred Han generals to control all officials below the fourth rank. Afterwards, he sent Yang Shen and others as leaders to the army, which gradually suppressed the arrogance of the civil servants.
But Zhang Juzheng could not persuade Emperor Longqing to just fight him.
He knows very well that having a benevolent and forgiving king in a country is actually a blessing to the officials and the people. Once the emperor lets out the devil in his heart, the situation will be out of control.
So Zhang Juzheng suggested to Emperor Longqing:
"These officials are too harsh, so let's replace them with those who are willing to listen to His Majesty's words."
??~~
"No, first of all, this article is not good, so just take it lightly."
Under the encouraging eyes of Master Zhang, Emperor Longqing finally summoned up the courage to say what he said most like an emperor since he ascended the throne:
"Second, it's too slow to read the paper like this. Bring it to me to review in person."
