Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 268 Zhang Juzheng's Ambition ([-])

Zhang Juzheng wiped away his tears, and finally revealed the real intention of coming tonight: "King Yu is honest and virtuous in nature, and loves the people like a son. It can only be achieved when King Yu succeeds to the throne. On the day when King Yu succeeds to the throne, I hope you can come out of the mountain again and assist the wise monarch."

He Liudao: "Didn't you just say that Jinyiwei's power is 'slavery', which hinders the joint governance of the monarch and ministers? I have been a Jinyiwei for more than 20 years."

Zhang Juzheng shook his head: "Lao Liu. I have already said this, and I have nothing to hide. If we want the monarch and ministers to govern together, put the people first, and reform and reform, we will face an extremely powerful opponent. This opponent The name is called the royal family of the world, the noble family of the world! Some opponents, I can use the bright and righteous way to deal with it, but some opponents can only be dealt with by people like you, using the heretical way."

He Liuban said mockingly: "After talking for a long time, you still regard me as heresy."

Zhang Juzheng said: "As long as the world is peaceful, what about the righteous way? What about heretics? Both lead to the same goal. You said just now that you think I have the intention of rebellion. Let me tell you, my ambition is worse than Yan Song who is greedy for money. Father and son must be bigger than King Ning, who rebelled against Zhengde and tried to usurp the throne! My ambition is: Let the people in the world live a good life with plenty of food and clothing!"

He Liu was infected by Zhang Juzheng's words: "Zhang Butang, will the people in the world have a day of abundance?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "There will be! Lao Liu, when you go to Nanjing, you have to hide your strength and bide your time. The day Yu Wang ascends the throne is the time when you return to Beijing! Wei Quan, only if you give it to someone like you, Yu Wang can rest assured , I, can rest assured!"

He Liu cupped his hands and said seriously: "Zhang Butang, for the sake of the common people all over the world. When the day comes when I need to stand up, I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will die!"

Zhang Juzheng turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate.

He Liu stared at Zhang Juzheng's leaving back, feeling emotional in his heart.He is a good official, a good person, and even a capable minister!The loyal and straight Duke Yang Lian is only a good official and a good man, but not a capable minister.From this point of view, Yang Lian can't keep up with Zhang Juzheng's one percent.

Bai Xiaoyan walked into the hall and asked, "Zhang Butang is gone?"

He Liu nodded: "Let's go."

Bai Xiaoyan asked again: "What did he tell you?"

He Liu sighed: "Oh, what he said to me, until I die, I will not reveal a word to anyone. Anyone, including you and Lao Hu."

Inside the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Huang Jin was kneeling beside the green gauze curtain, beating Emperor Jiajing's leg.

In the main hall, there was a eunuch who was less than 40 years old, with a pale complexion and a sinister face.This person is the new governor of Dongchang, Chen Hong!

Emperor Jiajing asked, "Who did you arrest this time?"

Chen Hongdao: "Report to the emperor. The Huke was arrested and handed over to Zhong Liu Fangyuan, the imperial censor Wang Lun of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Sun Dianchen of the Zuo Temple of Dali Temple... a total of eighteen officials."

The officials Chen Hong mentioned were exactly the group of Qing rumor officials who advised Emperor Jiajing to cherish the state's money, stop building temples and palaces, and expel alchemists and gods.

Emperor Jiajing asked, "How did you deal with them?"

Chen Hongdao: "The sticks range from thirty to sixty."

Emperor Jiajing asked again: "Is anyone dead?"

Chen Hongdao: "Slaves deserve to die, the servants in charge of punishment in Dongchang were too heavy handed, four people were killed with the stick."

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand: "Forget it, let's go out."

Huang Jin said to Emperor Jiajing from the side: "Your Majesty, Chen Hong is too vicious. Although those officials are stupid, they are not guilty of death."

Emperor Jiajing turned his head and said to Huang Jin: "Remember, from now on in the Supervisor of Rituals, you don't want to fight with Chen Hong. He is too ruthless, you can't fight him. I use him for the word ruthless."

Huang Jin is honest and benevolent, without much flirtatiousness.Among the four pens written by the Supervisor of Rites, Emperor Jiajing loves Huang Jin the most.

Emperor Jiajing asked, "Has He Liu left Beijing?"

Huang Jin replied: "The decree is to leave Beijing within three days. Today is only the second day. Presumably He Liu is still packing at home."

Emperor Jiajing sighed: "I was so angry that day. I fell into his golden cicada's plan to escape!"

Huang Jin asked: "The golden cicada has escaped its shell? The servants don't understand, He Liu is the powerful governor of Beizhen, why did he want to shed his shell and go to Nanjing to be a powerless deputy governor?"

Emperor Jiajing said: "Of course you don't understand. If you understand, you are not Huang Jin, but Lu Fang and Chen Hong! Let me tell you, this is called Dazhang Shou, Xiaozhang go! He Liu is very smart." Forget it, he doesn't want to be used by me, and I can't force him. In the past few years, he has indeed done a lot of things for me, and offended many people. Now that he has no power, those people will inevitably come to him In your name, write a letter to Liu Tingchun, the eunuch in charge of Nanjing. Ask him to take good care of He Liu's family."

Huang Jin said truthfully: "Your Majesty, this letter has already been written by your servant."

Emperor Jiajing frowned: "You are so bold, you dare to entrust someone to take care of a person who has committed a crime and demoted without any will."

Huang Jin said: "Your Majesty, this servant is fat. But being fat does not mean stupid. This servant knows who is a loyal minister and who is a traitor. This servant does not want to see a loyal minister being wronged."

Emperor Jiajing sighed: "You are too honest. Sooner or later, your honesty will kill you!"

At this time, Lu Fang entered the main hall: "Report to the emperor, He Liu and Hu San are demoted. The seats of Beizhen Fushi and Zuoqin's affairs are vacant. I don't know the emperor..."

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and interrupted Lu Fang's words: "The fifth member of the Thirteenth Taibao, he is very effective in following Han Wu of thousands of households. Let him succeed in commanding Zuoqin. As for Beizhen Fushi, Lu Fang, Who do you think I should let?"

Lu Fang was overjoyed.You know, Liu Daming is a member of the strict party, but secretly he is the internal response sent by Lu Fang to Jinyiwei.

Lu Fang said: "Report to the emperor. Liu Da is suitable."

Emperor Jiajing asked, "Why?"

Lu Fang talked eloquently: "First, Liu Da is currently the commander of Jinyiwei, Zuo Tongzhi. It is reasonable and reasonable to take over as the governor of Beizhen; second, Liu Da has been the governor of Beizhen for several years before, so he will not be appointed Thirdly, Liu Da is the son-in-law of Mr. Li Chunfang and Mr. Li Ge in the cabinet, and reusing him is tantamount to showing the emperor's favor to Mr. Li Ge."

Emperor Jiajing suddenly said, "Fourth, Liu Da belongs to your father-in-law Lu, right? Oh, that's fine, let Liu Da continue to serve as the governor of Beizhen in accordance with your will!"

Lu Fang's expression changed upon hearing this: The master in front of me is really terrifying!Sometimes he seems to know nothing, and other times he seems to know everything.It's really unpredictable.

Lu Fang kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty said so, the servants will die! Liu Da is the Emperor's servant, not someone else..."

Emperor Jiajing waved his sleeves impatiently: "Okay, let's declare the decree!"
