Wanli Xinming

Chapter 126
After Zhang Juzheng returned to the mansion one day, his mood was slightly uneasy, and he reprimanded his sons.

Due to the failure of the Wanli [-]nd Annual Meeting, Zhang Siwen and his brothers were all ordered by Zhang Juzheng to study at home.

Recently, whenever Zhang Juzheng was upset, he asked Zhang Siwen and his brothers to do some writing. After reading it, he made corrections and scolded him. It not only relieved the pressure, but also educated his son.

Seeing that his father was a little unhappy, after Zhang Siwen handed Shiwen and was scolded, he did not go back to his study, but accompanied Zhang Juzheng to talk again.Zhang Juzheng felt his son's filial piety and felt very pleased.

Although Zhang Siwen was the second son, his eldest brother died when he was a child, so he was the eldest son of Zhang Juzheng.At this time, he was nearly thirty, and he had a son. At this time, he helped Zhang Juzheng with the housework.

There is a saying in the later generations of the original time and space. In the second year of Wanli's general examination, Zhang Juzheng obtained Zhang Siwen's seat information in the examination room and passed it to the deputy examiner Wang Xilie, who asked the same examiner Shen Yiguan to admit Zhang Siwen.

Shen Yiguan not only didn't listen to Wang Xilie, but also told the matter to his fellow examiner Wang Xijue. What's more, he also hid Zhang Siwen's papers. As a result, the examiner Lv Tiaoyang did not find Zhang Siwen's papers. .

Later, when Zhang Juzheng found out about this, he had nothing to do with Shen Yiguan, so he actually stopped the Wanli Year [-] selection as revenge.

This incident is not found in the official history, only in the record of a conversation between Shen Yiguang and his eldest son Shen Taihong in the Chronicle of Duke Shen Wengong.Many people in later generations quoted this record to explain the fact that there was no selection of Shuji Shi in the second year of Wanli in the original time and space, and that the three sons of Zhang Juzheng successively passed the test and were among the best.

In fact, there are many contradictions in Shen's record that cannot be explained.On the one hand, Wang Xilie and Zhang Juzheng are not part of the same party. During their tenure, they often sang against Zhang Juzheng. It is really incomprehensible that Zhang Juzheng can ask him to cheat.

In the second year of Wanli, Zhang Siwen's papers were hidden, and he was actually the eldest son of Zhang Juzheng.According to Shen Yiguang's records, Zhang Juzheng finally succeeded in cheating in the fifth year of Wanli, and Zhang Siwen should be admitted first - as a result, Zhang Siwen still failed in this subject, but his younger brother Zhang Sixiu did.

Thirdly, it is difficult for Shen Yihuan to hide the papers because he can hide the transcribed papers at most, and the main and sub-examinations have to check the papers in the end. How does Shen Yiguan explain in the examination room that the number of transcribed papers is higher than the original papers? one less?
In the end, Shen Yiguang recorded that he told Wang Xijue about the matter, and Wang Xijue told another fellow examiner Fan Yingqi, and only the three of them knew about the matter—it's ridiculous that Shen Yiguang said "only the three gentlemen know" Before Wanli died, all scholars all over the world knew about the secret, and dozens of versions of records appeared.

Contrasting with Shen's consistent political approach in history, the answer is ready to emerge.With his character, it is entirely possible to make up this nonsense.

Therefore, some historians did not accept this record of Shen Yiguang, believing that he was putting gold on his face.

After the death of Zhang Juzheng in the original time and space, pots of dirty water were poured on him: for example, the 32 large sedan chairs were later found to be rumors; Know who Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang can tell others about this; there is even more outrageous saying that he and Queen Mother Li don't know each other.

In addition to pouring dirty water, there are also a large number of small stories about Zhang Juzheng's administration, and he was false and arrogant, and small officials and witty and powerful officials suddenly emerged - if these records are true, unless Zhang Juzheng was in power, the whole court collectively If you don't know how, you can't explain how Zhang Juzheng has become so stupid that he has achieved power over the world, and this powerful minister can still be played like that by these bird people.

Since Zhang Juzheng was serving as the first assistant, Zhang Siwen had no need to elect officials at this time.At home, together with Zhang Juzheng's staff Yao Kuang and housekeeper You Qi, he did his best to manage Zhang's family affairs so that Zhang Juzheng would not be distracted by these things.

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was a little unhappy, he asked again who annoyed his father.Zhang Juzheng also had the heart to let his son know about the dangers of officialdom, so he told him, "Jia San is so annoying!"

Zhang Siwen heard this and said strangely: "This father is also the man in the bag, how can he annoy his father? - Could it be that he turned against the water?"

Jia Sanjin's main exams were Li Chunfang and Yin Shidan, and at the beginning they had a normal relationship with Zhang Juzheng.After choosing Shuji, because Zhang Juzheng took good care of him, he went to the main gate of Zhang Juzheng.

He was famous when he was young, and at the age of 24 he won the Shandong Township Examination Jieyuan, and his reputation was well-known among scholars.Ten years later, he will take the high school exam and be selected as a concubine of the Imperial Academy-the 34-year-old prime minister, who can look forward to the cabinet and even the chief assistant.

Zhang Juzheng appreciated and cared for him very much. In the fourth year of Longqing, he recommended him to serve as a civil servant, and then plated a golden body of Qingliuhuaxuan.However, because he was too close to Zhang Juzheng at the time, he was targeted by Gao Gong.Jia San found out that the situation was not good, and immediately used the excuse of his father's serious illness to go home and work until the sixth year of Longqing.

In the sixth year of Longqing, Gao Gong was jointly defeated by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, and Jia Sanjin was immediately revived.After being idle at home for two years, he was even promoted to an official position, and he was in the process of being a member of the household department. He was equivalent to the head of the household department's remonstrance institute.

However, although the kindness is thick, it cannot stand the erosion of the shackles of fame and fortune.Zhang Juzheng had already made a good agreement with the officials and henchmen, that any memorials should be sent to Zhang Juzheng to read before they are played, so as not to accidentally injure friendly troops and interfere with the political affairs.

But Jia Sanjin's book did not have Zhang Juzheng's eyes.Moreover, the content of the memorial is obviously contrary to Zhang Juzheng's thoughts on the river channel and the sea water at this time!

Zhang Juzheng had an amazing memory, so he retold the content of the memorial that he read in the afternoon to Zhang Siwen.He also said to his son: "Being in charge of the father's government, I have no idea of ​​the door. Wang Zongmu was promoted and used by Gao Gong, but he still advised the emperor to trust him for his father. Because Wang Zongmu is a solid worker."

"But Jia San approached him and went to my door after choosing the hall, but this time he did something wrong. Why is this so?"

Zhang Siwen speculated: "I'm afraid this book was bought. If I show it to you, this business won't work."

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he felt that his son was mature.Secretly delighted in his heart, but his face was still confused, he said to Zhang Siwen, "Then he should ask me to see him after he has made the memorial. What else can I do to him?"

Zhang Siwen thought about it for a while, and then said in disbelief, "Has Judd changed his family?"

Zhang Juzheng said with a sneer, "If you are talking about changing your family, is there a better family in the world than being a father?"

Zhang Siwen was at a loss for answers, and finally said to Zhang Juzheng, "I also ask my father to clarify the doubts."

Seeing that he couldn't judge, Zhang Juzheng didn't continue to pretend he didn't understand to inspire him, because this question was too difficult.He took the initiative to unravel the mystery and said, "It's not false to change the court, but it became the emperor's private through Zhang Siwei. Zhang Siwei has nothing else, just a lot of money."

Hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Zhang Siwen was very surprised and laughed: "I heard what my father said, his memorials are quite disrespectful to the emperor. Why should Zhang Siwei damage the general? And why should the emperor let him write this book?"

Zhang Juzheng listened and sighed: "If I saw this memorial half a year ago, my father would not be able to understand it. Later, with the newspapers, the emperor told me some methods of manipulating public opinion, and I saw that Jia Sanjin was behind this memorial. The taste. The emperor is using the method of manipulating public opinion on the court."

"This method is to first set up an example of a tough speaker, and use the method of criticizing the dragon scales to focus on him first. Then criticize and refute, and then let Jia San come to the book to admit his mistake. In this way , you can easily dismantle the opposition.”

"The emperor used Hao Weiqiao secretly last year, and he tried a small knife to knock down the heads of the Beijing camp and kill them. Now, he has tasted the sweetness." After speaking, he sighed: "The emperor explained this to Zhang Siwei, I was afraid that my father would not want to play this double reed with him - it also means to contain it."

Seeing Zhang Siwen's ignorance, Zhang Juzheng sneered: "There are four members of the cabinet, Lu Yu and I have been running in for many years, and we have long obeyed. Wang Guoguang has always been with his father. Zhang Siwei didn't have half the capital, but with the support of the emperor, he can still do it now. Playing a little trick under the nose of the father."

"Last year, the emperor first used the 'Yu Yan case' to hold Wang Guoguang's handle. He has long followed the emperor's lead. Then he used Yu Maoxue to hold Zhang Siwei -- this person is probably helping the emperor to do dirty work."

Hearing this, Zhang Siwen's heart thumped, and he forced a smile: "The emperor and his father, the monarchs and ministers, are like fish in water, so why should you be prepared? You—are you thinking too much?"

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng smiled and looked at Zhang Siwen and said, "How is the relationship between Emperor Zhaolie and Zhuge Liang? There is still Fazheng to think about it. This is normal, and you don't have to worry about it. To inspire you today is to let you in the future. Just think more about it.”

After that, Zhang Juzheng stood up and said with a smile: "The preservation and abolition of Hecao, the emperor has discussed with me many times before, and we have already reached a conclusion. Now that Wang Zongmu, Jia Sanjin and others are used to stir up the situation, it is just a unified gathering. People's hearts, make some preparations for the great revolution. Who is the emperor who relies on such a big policy? Hehe, I will do my part!"

　Note: Zhang Siwen did not change his name at this time, but changed his name to Zhang Jingxiu after the fifth year of Wanli.
