Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 810 Governing the country, but that's it
Power inflates people.The size of a person's butt determines the size of his head.The only ones who can avoid falling into this cliché are saints.Even a wise man like Zhang Juzheng did a lot of outrageous things when he monopolized the power back then.

Zhang Jing is such a vulgar person who falls into the cliché.

The Lijian, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Six Section Gallery are all in the hands of Zhang Jing.Zhang Jing felt that there were four words "Who dares to mess with me" written on his left chest, four words "Who will fight against you" written on his right chest, and four words "Unrivaled in the World" on his back!
The gate of Yongshou Palace.

Zhao Zhigao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Shen, the second assistant, always took several memorials and asked to enter the palace to see Emperor Wanli.

Wei Zhongxian blocked their way: "Two cabinet elders, Eunuch Zhang said that all the documents of the cabinet should be sent to the supervisor of ceremonies. The supervisor of ceremonies will forward them to the emperor."

Zhao Zhigao said in embarrassment: "Eunuch Wei, can you make it easier for us? These papers are all expedited. The bandits in the rice field of Henan rebelled, and the governor of Henan asked the court to quickly dispatch troops to suppress it; the autumn flood in Jiangxi flooded the fertile fields. Thousands of hectares. The Jiangxi inspector asked the household department to allocate relief food funds as soon as possible; the governor of Jiliao came to report that the Chila tribe of the Tatars had broken away from the control of the third lady, and they were eyeing my Ming Dynasty. .”

Today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the prosperous time when the New Deal was implemented.The country's situation began to decline.The cabinet side can be called extremely difficult.

Wei Zhongxian lowered his voice and said: "Zhao Shoufu, I, Wei Zhongxian, am just a servant who serves others, how dare I stop your old man? It's just that Eunuch Zhang has orders, so I have to obey. Look, all the guards and guards in Yongshou Palace have been replaced by Fan servants in Dongchang. These people only follow Eunuch Zhang’s order. Even if I want to let you in, the imperial guards will not give way to you. In my opinion, you should go to the Rites Supervisor to find Eunuch Zhang.”

Shen has always been different from the cowardly Zhao Zhigao, he has a cannonball temper.He said loudly: "Okay! Let's go to the Rites Supervisor to find Zhang Jing! I want to see if Zhang Jing dares to withhold these discounts!"

The two came to the supervisor's room.

Zhang Jing is sipping tea "swirly and stably".Seeing the two elders coming, he didn't even raise his buttocks, he just asked arrogantly: "What's the matter, you two?"

Zhao Zhigao told Zhang Jing the contents of the handbook.

Zhang Jing smiled slightly: "I collapsed that day. Just these few small things, are they worth alarming the emperor?"

When Shen Yiguan heard this, he was very angry: "Eunuch Zhang, the bandits in Mitian led a rebellion and were about to take down Anyang Mansion. Is this a trivial matter? The 10,000+ disaster victims in Jiangxi are about to starve to death. Is this a trivial matter? Tatar The Chila tribe has [-] cavalry, threatening me at the Ming frontier, is this a trivial matter?"

Zhang Jing spread the three papers on the table, and talked in a serious manner: "Shen Cifu, don't think that only the people in your cabinet can manage politics. Let's talk about the first thing first. It's just a bunch of mud-legged mobs. As far as I know, there are more than 2 paid guards in Henan! [-] guards can't even deal with a group of mud-legs? Are they [-] pigs? The governor and the capital of Henan Province should immediately lead the guards of the province to suppress them. Why do you need the imperial court to send troops to go there?"

Shen Yiguan was impatient: "Eunuch Zhang said it lightly! The military system of the Ming Dynasty Guards has long been rotten to the bone. The Henan Guards Army has 2 people on the roster of the Ministry of War, but in fact there are only [-] old and weak! If they can handle it, teach them Bandit, does the governor of Henan still use this [-]-mile expedited book?"

Zhang Jing ignored Shen Yiguan, and continued: "The second thing is the flood in Jiangxi. Even if Jiangxi Fanku has no money to help, they can find a way to raise money on the spot! There are always more ways than difficulties!"

Shen Yiguan questioned Zhang Jing in a strange way: "I want to ask, how does Jiangxi raise money on the spot?"

Zhang Jing searched his guts, thought hard for a while, and then said: "I remember that in the last years of the puppet Yuan Dynasty, in order to raise military salaries, the puppet Yuan court opened a prison student donation. Rich households donate a certain amount of money, and they can get a job as a prison student. It is better to let Jiangxi open a prison student donation .Let those rich and rich people pay for the disaster relief for the court. As for the court, reward them with the honor of supervising students."

Shen Yiguan sneered: "Fame is also a famous treasure of the imperial court! Isn't this a private sale? Oh, that's right, now official positions can be bought and sold privately, let alone the mere fame of supervising students?"

There is something in Shen Yiguan's words, he is insinuating that Zhang Jing sells the more than 70 missing officials.

Zhang Jing got up, and asked Shen Yiguan angrily: "Who are you flirting with? Is the Supervisor of Rituals the place where you play tricks?"

Shen Yiguan sneered: "Oh, I know Eunuch Zhang is in power now! You think I'm not pleasing to the eye, you can ask the officials to impeach me, and the factory guards to arrest me. That's fine, don't bother Eunuch Zhang. I'll just complain! "

After finishing speaking, Shen Yiguan walked out of the gate angrily.At the door, he turned his head and said, "Throwing away my official hat, I am out of sight and out of mind. I feel relaxed. However, I advise Eunuch Zhang to take care of himself and not destroy the country and society of our ancestors."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yiguan swaggered away.

Zhang Jing pointed at Shen Yiguan's back, and said to Zhao Zhigao: "Look, this is what the cabinet secretary should say? Shen Yiguan is such a jerk."

Zhao Zhigao was in a hurry to make up with each other: "Eunuch Zhang, calm down. It's all because things are too urgent, and Shen Yiguan is a quick temper..."

Zhang Jing said: "Zhao Shoufu is a seasoned man who seeks the country. Shen has always been a thorn at best. Such a thorn, besides being able to shake his face, can do anything. What did you just say, oh, and this The third thing. The Tatar Chila tribe was originally under the control of San Niangzi. They are eyeing the Ming Dynasty, so let San Niangzi take care of them."

Zhao Zhigao said obsequiously: "I have considered this method. It's just that it is not decent to rely on a foreign woman to maintain the security of Daming's fortress."

Zhang Jing smiled and said: "What's the use of being decent? Our Daming, sometimes we just love the word "decent" too much. Why don't you cede land, don't pay compensation, don't make peace, the king dies... fart. I think Emperor Han Wen is a smart man , with a few princesses, a little money, and a few dispensable small lands, the Huns in the north have been suppressed for 20 years!"

Zhao Zhigao, a softie, saw that Zhang Jing had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to say: "Then these three things will all be done according to Zhang Gonggong's wishes."

Zhang Jing sent Zhao Zhigao away, secretly laughing in his heart: What's so difficult about governing the country?Heh, from now on, I will learn from Zhang Juzheng and manage Daming for the emperor!
The main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Wanli is having lunch.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shoufu and Shen Cifu came to Yongshou Palace at noon, but they were stopped by Eunuch Zhang's Dongchang Fan servants."

If Zhang Jing is the patriarch who sows discord, then Wei Zhongxian is also a master of sow dissension.It was obviously him who blocked Zhao and Shen from driving.With one word, he poured dirty water on Zhang Jing.

Emperor Wanli frowned: "Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "That's right, Your Majesty. The servants also heard that the two elders went to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and Shen Cifu had a big quarrel with Eunuch Zhang. They said they were going to take leave and go home to recuperate."

Emperor Wanli thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Today's glutinous rice porridge is very fragrant. I remember that He Liuya has a bad mouth. You go to He's mansion and give him a bowl of glutinous rice porridge."
