Chapter 644 Will
Wang Xijue left, and as soon as he left, the Hanlin everywhere scattered like birds and beasts.

He heard the meaning behind Chen Mu's words, and understood that not everyone in the gang behind him simply wanted to save Wu Zhongxing and others.

What's more, with Chen Mu staying here with Zhang Juzheng, he couldn't say a lot, but there was no way to drive Chen Mu away, no matter how hard he stayed, it would be useless.

However, there is another advantage. Although Chen Mu's words sounded thorny, they also sounded against Wu Zhongxing and others' imperial staff. don't care anymore.

The court stick can kill people.

What's more, what the emperor meant this time was to hit the court staff on the street outside the palace, take off his trousers and be beaten with a stick.

Gao Gong was punched in the face by Yin Shizhan, and Yin Shizhan felt that he could no longer stay in the officialdom. If his pants were stripped off and he was beaten in the street, it would be more terrifying than killing people.

Some people want to save people because of morality, and some people want to save people because of the sorrow of rabbits and foxes.

Emperor Wanli hadn't beaten the court staff yet. The last Liu Tai who was going to be beaten was exempted from punishment because of Zhang Juzheng's plea. Once the emperor started this, who knows who will be beaten next, and who knows whether Could it be me?

"Xu Jue, have you been looking for you?"

Sitting down, Chen Mu didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to say this first. He nodded and said, "I've looked for it. Let me do something for him. I don't know what it is. I haven't said anything yet."

Zhang Juzheng nodded slowly, and then asked jumpily: "Chen Shuai thinks, what should I do with this matter?"

"Give them a promotion. They are all young and energetic young officials. They are not afraid of the court staff, and they can still gain fame. Now that the old man let them go, he is magnanimous. A promotion is even more the emperor's sage." Chen Mu turned his head and looked at it. Zhang Juzheng glanced at it, suddenly felt quite boring, said: "I know that elder Ge may not listen to me if I tell you."

"Wangxia Prefecture, Shuihufeng, and Majiagang, from prefects to county magistrates, if they are all ready, they can send a governor. The entire Hanlin Academy is moved to America. There are not too many people-these people are all It's a talent, it's a pity to beat him to death."

What Chen Mu said was not against his will at all. For example, the No. 60 scholar, since the dawn of time, has the surname Shen No. [-] among the seven No. , talent, intelligence and even memory, he is no worse than anyone else.

"This is killing someone's life." Zhang Juzheng didn't look at Chen Mu, and murmured silently twice: "Tingzhang, Tingzhang."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Mu, and suddenly said with emotion for no reason: "Like Jing Haibo, who doesn't care about domestic affairs and only takes foreign affairs, he is much more comfortable than the ministers of the country."

The incense candles in the mourning hall were flickering slightly, Chen Mu couldn't see what Zhang Ju was thinking, but only agreed to comfort him: "Things in the middle school are complicated and involved, and we all know the hard work of the elders in the country."

Although Zhang Juzheng seemed a little tired after hearing this, Chen Mu felt that he was enjoying it.

Although he has not been able to talk about working together for a long time, Chen Mu still knows Zhang Juzheng well. He is able to do a job well in many political struggles.

Regardless of Gao Gong who was kicked out by him or this storm of seizing love, Zhang Juzheng seemed a little passive, as if he hadn't done anything, but because he counted everyone in it, he only needed to push a thousand pounds to achieve his goal.

The last time it was the Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao, this time not only the Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao, but he also knew what little Wanli would do.

As if there was a certainty in his heart, he firmly believed that Emperor Wanli would express his anger for him.

"The Holy Majesty is young, with a slightly headstrong temperament and a strong heart. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. If there is no one to guide him properly in the future, he will be domineering—Jing Haibo, servant, do you really want to accept the Holy Majesty's seduction?"

Chen Mu's first reaction was to smile unconsciously, but the next moment the smile froze on his face and slowly disappeared.

Duoqing really may not be Zhang Juzheng's personal idea, but it is definitely not the personal will of Emperor Wanli.

Because the Wanli Emperor at this moment is not an emperor with personal will, he is the embodiment of the supreme Forbidden City.

It was Empress Dowager Li from the harem, Feng Bao from Dongchang, and of course the emperor, and it was the entire Forbidden City who hoped that Zhang Juzheng would win his love. As for what Emperor Wanli thought, it didn't really matter.

In fact, to be honest, the reason why Chen Mu hid his smile after serious thinking was because he felt that if the emperor had an independent will at this time, it was very likely that Duoqing was just a casual way of buying people's hearts by the monarchs of all dynasties.

The emperor, who was in a playful age, might hope that the elder Ge would return to his hometown to observe his filial piety for a few years, so that he could play freely.

"Duoqing, the vassal king's outer seal is at a critical time, and the elder Ge's reform of the country's long-standing abuses has also begun to bear fruit. At this moment, Duoqing is good for Chen." Chen Mu never showed arrogance to Zhang Juzheng, He just smiled lightly and cupped his hands: "Most of the time, Chen's interests are consistent with those of the Ming Dynasty."

"Guarding the old man, Chen does not dare to tell half a lie. It is good for the old man to win the court."

No one is more suitable than Zhang Juzheng. When others are ruling the country at this time, they will please Zhang Juzheng's opposition to calm people's hearts. In this way, several years of reform will be ruined, and the court will return to the old way again.

Of course, except for Gao Gong in Nanyang, but no one would dare to invite Gao Gong back to the cabinet. The political views of that person are similar to Zhang Juzheng, and maybe even the political views of the two were exactly the same at the beginning. system.

But Gao Gong's downfall frightened Zhang Juzheng, so he could only use heresy tricks to gain the support of the harem.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng's many reforms can be seen in the shadow of the Longqing New Deal, and Gao Gong was the main planner of the Longqing New Deal.

The turmoil caused by Zhang Juzheng's seizure of love is already big enough, if Gao Gong is allowed to come back, it will cause more serious consequences.

"Then Jing Haibo thinks that Duoqing is good for servants?"

Zhang Juzheng asked with a smile that he already had the answer in his heart, and said, "Anyone can let go of power, as long as he is not harmed by others. Unfortunately, he has no choice at this time. Teachers and students are against each other, and old friends are breaking up. It’s not about seizing love, if it’s really according to the emperor’s will—will there still be a place for servants in the world from now on?”

He knew very well that Duoqing would ruin the rest of his life.

"I hope the old man can swallow his breath for a while and persuade the emperor not to embarrass these people who are admonishing too much. Although they are talking rigid and dogmatic nonsense, once this court stick is beaten, the wind of inviting people to talk about it will flourish in the future. As long as they are reused in the future, they will turn into partisan struggles at any time."

"The imperial court punished them at this time. It seems that the elders won, but the imperial court lost; it is better to let them appear to have won, and send them overseas to be chief officials. Time will tell everyone. No one can stand up for talking empty words. You can get promoted and get rich on the moral high ground.”

"Overseas can get promoted and get rich, but it must be exchanged with blood and sweat, whether it is your own or someone else's."

　Up—towards!
