Deshengmen was suddenly alerted and the road was closed. The officers and soldiers blocked the roadside for the incoming and outgoing people, and cleared the road to wait for the important people to pass.
The people waited for a long time before they saw an unmarked luxury four-wheeled carriage, escorted by a team of royal guards, slowly driving into the capital.
On the carriage, Zhang Juzheng was sitting against the wall of the carriage with his hair disheveled, looking at the changing scenery outside the window with distracted eyes, letting his tears flow silently, already soaking a large area of ??his front.
No matter what, that¡¯s the father who gave birth to him, raised him, and taught him how to read!
Since the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing's reign, after returning to the capital after a three-year vacation, he plunged into politics, first serving as a lecturer in Prince Yu's palace, and then assisting Teacher Xu in defeating Yan.
At that time, he said in his heart that after Yan Dang was eliminated and Yuyu clarified, he would go home to visit his parents.
However, when the Yan Party collapsed and he was promoted to a bachelor's degree, he became even more deeply involved in the political struggle and could not relax for a moment.
He can only postpone his plans to visit relatives until he becomes the first assistant
Finally, he squeezed out his opponents one by one and took the position of chief assistant. But becoming a leader is only a means, not an end. He is for reform, not for dominance!
So he worked hard to launch the Wanli New Deal, and he also had to teach the little emperor carefully and meet all his mother's requirements, but in the end he still didn't have time to return to his hometown
Until this year, because of the engagement of the emperor and the settlement of land, I missed the opportunity to see my father for the last time. He has not been back to Jingzhou for twenty years, and has not seen his father!
I always thought I would go back next year, and then I would go back after finishing this busy schedule. Who would have thought that now it would be a farewell
Even though Zhang Juzheng held the sun, moon, mountains and rivers in his heart, he was completely overwhelmed by the guilt of not going home for twenty years.
After the carriage drove directly into the mansion and closed the door tightly, You Qi opened the door and saw that his master's eyes were swollen into peaches.
"My condolences, sir!" You Qi quickly squeezed out a few tears and helped Zhang Juzheng, who was crying so darkly, out of the carriage.
"Quickly, put some mourning on Bugu and prepare the mourning hall." Mr. Zhang ordered in a hoarse voice as soon as he got out of the car.
He is the chief minister of the dynasty. No matter what happens, he cannot go back to his hometown as soon as the funeral is announced. No matter what, I had to report to the emperor first and ask for permission before I could go home to Dingyou.
During the process, as a filial son, you must first set up a mourning hall in the local area to keep vigil for your ancestors remotely and express your condolences from a distance.
But in this case, there will definitely be nothing left to hide
"Uh, yes" You Qi was worried that Zhang Juzheng was dizzy because of the sudden bad news. He hesitated and reminded in a low voice:
"But sir, this is the letter sent by Feige from my uncle's side to report in advance. The province sent it eight hundred miles to express, and it will take two days to arrive, let alone the third young master officially coming to announce the funeral"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Juzheng asked coldly.
"What I mean, my slave, is to suppress the news first. Quickly and privately inform Eunuch Feng and Li Butang, so that everyone can discuss countermeasures and make preparations in advance?"
Zhang Juzheng looked at him strangely. Yes, this is the safest approach, but shouldn¡¯t you just calm down and wait until I come back from playing and close the door?
The result was not bad. He was so surprised that he ran away and gave Bu Gu a bolt from the blue in public. How could others not appreciate it?
Believe it or not, if you don¡¯t make it public today, tomorrow it will be a storm and people will say weird things?
¡°Alas, there is no way, how smart can you expect a slave to be?
Zhang Xianggong looked at You Qi for a while and felt that his whole body was hairy, and then he said in a hoarse voice: "Place in the mourning hall!"
"Yes!" You Qi was excited and didn't dare to say anything.
Zhang Juzheng didn't have the energy to argue with him, and then ordered: "Go to the Hanlin Academy to ask Si Xiu to ask for leave for Ding You. Let Mr. Li draft Ding You Forget it, I'll write it myself"
Of course Zhang Juzheng has staff, but how many people in the world can keep up with his ideas and are worthy of giving him advice?
He is also a detail-oriented person with a terrible temper. Even a really capable person cannot stand his cowardice. If you don¡¯t believe me, look at how Mr. Zhao supports the lonely-egg painter and the double-egg writer. After the old couple were pardoned in the first year of Wanli, they took a long vacation and went around having fun.
Zhao Shouzheng also wrote letters to greet them from time to time, asking them to have fun and not be in a hurry to come back As a result, they played for five years. Zhao Hao's day's wages are not short of theirs
¡°Otherwise you simply won¡¯t be able to retain these talented perverts who are repeatedly beaten to the point of abnormality by society.
How could Zhang Juzheng support these perverts like his ancestors? So I searched and searched, but in the end I only found?? "
"Your Majesty, please report this to the Queen Mother first." Feng Bao knew that the one who hated Zhang Juzheng the most was definitely the Emperor's mother. "The queen decides on this kind of thing."
"Okay, let's take a walk." Wanli walked out without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, please slow down, be careful where you step, don't trip" Feng Bao ignored Lao Lu and followed him out quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Tiaoyang was the only one left in the huge Wenhua Hall. He knew that no one took him seriously, so he laughed at himself: "get out of class is over, I will send you off to the emperor respectfully."
When he returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, he entered his duty room and sat down tiredly. His confidant Zhongshu Shibin served him strong tea and couldn't help but whisper:
"Congratulations to the Chief Assistant!"
Lu Tiaoyang was stunned for a moment, then scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! When Yuan Fu is in great grief, if your words are heard, how can I behave?"
"Xiangong Zhang wants Ding You, and only Xianggong Lu is left in the cabinet. If you are not the Yuanfu, who is the Yuanfu?" Shi Bin said with a shy smile.
"Anyway, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Tiaoyang glared at him and said, "Go out and tell them that no one is allowed to talk nonsense. If I hear it, they will be kicked out of the cabinet!"
???????????????????????????????????????????????? In his words, he already had the momentum of the chief minister of the cabinet (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
