Wanli Youming

Chapter 7
"The way of a university is to be virtuous, to be close to the people, and to be good."

……

According to Zhang Juzheng's teaching arrangement for Zhu Yijun, when Zhu Yijun gave lectures in the Wenhua Hall, he had to read "Great Learning" ten times a day first, and "Shangshu" ten times a day, and then the lecturer would then start the lecture.

Therefore, after Zhu Yijun arrived at the Wenhua Palace, he first read "Great Learning".

Zhang Juzheng and the lecturers all looked satisfied when Zhu Yijun read it aloud, as if listening to a beautiful song of fairy music.

In their cognition, the Son of Heaven can be the king according to their requirements of the sage and benevolent king, which can give them a great sense of accomplishment.

In other words, this will make them feel that the emperor is under their control, and they have the pleasure of controlling the emperor.

Especially Zhang Juzheng, whose ideal is to teach the emperor to become the king of Yao and Shun, seems to be seeing his life value being realized step by step.

Of course, he would not know that if according to the development of the original history, the student of the emperor whom he taught with all his efforts and had high hopes would abandon all the high hopes that his teacher had placed after his death, and would copy his home, He almost obeyed the demands of the bureaucracy to flog his dead body and abolish all his new policies. After that, he willfully refused to go to court for more than 20 years because of his disappointment with civil servants, and became the laziest emperor in Ming Dynasty. The government is too lazy to fill in the lack of officials at the six ministries of the central government.

Even because of this, it has a historical evaluation of "the Ming Dynasty died in Wanli".

It can be said that Zhang Juzheng would never have imagined that the monarch he had devoted himself to educating for ten years would become the last thing he wanted to see after his death.

Fortunately, Zhu Yijun in this life has the soul of future generations, and he is determined to be a Wanli Emperor who is different from the one in history.

After Zhu Yijun finished reading "University" and "Shangshu" here, the lecturers stepped forward to give Zhu Yijun a lecture.

Zhang Juzheng was worried that Zhu Yijun was not taught well enough, so on the basis of the original number of lecturers assigned to the emperor according to regulations, he specially assigned a number of learned Confucian officials to wait around Zhu Yijun when he gave lectures in Wenhua Hall, so as to Prepare for consultation.

Among them were Ma Ziqiang, Tao Dalin, Chen Shoubang, He Luowen, Shen Li, Ding Shimei, Ma Jiai, Xu Jizhong and other well-known imperial poets at that time who served as daily lecturers or servants.

In addition, in order to let Zhu Yijun know more clearly how to be a good emperor.

Zhang Juzheng also presided over the compilation of Zhu Yijun's "Emperor Jian Tushuo".

This book was presented to Zhu Yijun by the lecturers led by Zhang Juzheng on December 81, the sixth year of Longqing. It selected 36 things about the goodness of the kings of the past dynasties, and [-] things about the evil. , personally taught Zhu Yijun the virtues and evils of the emperors of the past dynasties, and achieved the purpose of making Zhu Yijun really have the qualifications of a wise emperor.

Zhu Yijun’s favorite class in his memory is the class of "Di Jian Tu Shuo", because this book is full of pictures and texts, and it has stories and vivid images, which can make him more interested when he was young. At the same time, Zhang Juzheng, as a strategist in this era, taught him These emperor's mind skills can also penetrate into the heart and point directly at the vital point, so that he can quickly absorb the important means that the emperor should master.

Zhu Yijun knew that Zhang Juzheng had good intentions, so he was naturally willing to cooperate. In addition, he was indeed willing to learn some real skills from Zhang Juzheng, so he would not show impatience when reading Confucian classics.

However, Zhu Yijun is looking forward to the practical significance of "Emperor Jian Shu", which will not be taught until near the early noon. After studying the Confucian classics, according to the process arranged by Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun will first go to the Nuan Pavilion for a short rest.

At this time, the Supervisory Committee of the Ceremony will enter the chapters of each yamen into the imperial review.

Zhang Juzheng and other ministers will retreat to the West Wing to wait at this time.

However, if Zhu Yijun has any inquiries, he can call the ministers to the imperial court and ask them to explain the chapters clearly.

So it can be seen from this that Zhu Yijun is not completely a puppet emperor. He is still the decision maker of Ming Dynasty in name, and he is actually a person who participates in the highest power deliberations.

"Call Yuanfu Mr. Zhang!"

Zhu Yijun introduced Zhang Juzheng after reading some chapters.

Historically, Zhu Yijun called Zhang Ju exactly as "Yuanfu Mr. Zhang". Yuanfu refers to his official position, and Mr. Zhang means that he is his teacher. In short, he is very respectful.

At this time, Zhu Yijun still called Zhang Juzheng this way according to the original owner's memory.

After Zhang Juzheng entered the Nuan Pavilion, he bowed his hands and asked Zhu Yijun for inquiries, and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything you don't understand?"

"Today's Zhang Zou is fine. Just one thing, I want to tell Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang that the lecturer of "University" was missing a word in the Jingyan yesterday. I want to correct it, but I am afraid that I should lecture the official So I was afraid of guilt, so I didn’t mention it.”

Zhu Yijun told each other.

Zhang Juzheng's heart skipped a beat, so he had to intercede on behalf of the lecturer: "The lecturer is close to Tianwei, and if there is a small mistake, please forgive me." You can also be tolerant."

"Of course!"

Zhu Yijun nodded, he didn't know if it was because the lecturers deliberately omitted words in the sutra feast, or Zhang Juzheng didn't mention it on purpose, but he knew that he had to bring it up to prove that he was really listening carefully, and it was also for his sake. The next thing I want to say is to pave the way for Zhang Juzheng to understand that he is not so easy to fool, and he is really trying to be a big son of heaven.

Zhu Yijun also said at this time: "After the Jingyan was over yesterday, after completing the homework given to me by Mr. Yuanfu Zhang, I also read the chapters, in order to know the principles of politics from the proposals of the gentlemen. Dao and the ability and virtue of the names of officials from all over the world, and at the same time, I have written down some doubts, and I am going to ask my husband today, and I hope that I will answer it!"

"Your Majesty is diligent and diligent, and the country is lucky!"

As Zhang Juzheng said, he hurriedly cupped his hands again, impatiently said: "Your Majesty, please ask!"

Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong to hand Zhang Juzheng a piece of imperial note that he had written notes on.

Zhang Juzheng took a look at the content on the imperial note after holding it with both hands.

At this glance, Zhang Juzheng's body trembled slightly, and then he glanced at Zhang Hong.

Zhu Yijun has started to smile and said: "Xu Fan, Xu Kun, are they the sons of Mr. Xu Qing and Mr. Xu?"

According to the records in "General History of Chinese Customs Ming Dynasty Volume", the most honorable address for bureaucrats in the capital is old man, and Xu Jie was once the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. Now Zhu Yijun still calls Xu Jie as such according to the memory of the original owner.

Zhang Juzheng replied: "Yes! He is indeed Mr. Xu's son."

Zhu Yijun nodded: "The Ministry of Officials said in the reply that the two can be advised by Dai Gejian. After the meritorious veteran, Enyin will be reinstated as the Taichang Temple and Shangbao Secretary. The proposal is possible, sir. But I don't know. What is more interesting is, why were these two people dismissed before this, so that they are reinstated now?"

Although Zhang Juzheng was a student of Xu Jie and naturally needed to take care of the Xu family politically, so he ignored the fact that the two sons of Xu Jie were of poor character and appointed him, but now that Zhu Yijun asked him, he still had to answer truthfully. :

"Your Majesty, Xu Fan and Xu Kun were previously dismissed because Governor Hai Rui impeached him for occupying the people's land and not cultivating his personal morality. I think they have already defended themselves and returned to the people's land. It is very polite. Therefore, it was used to make it a model for the world."

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Although that is the case, in my opinion, Xu Fan and Xu Kun are not suitable for use. The main reason is that Mr. Xu is Mr. Xu's student, and I am Mr. Xu. Of course, Mr. Xu should be more considerate of Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu must be more than seventy years old, and he must also want his children and grandchildren to be around and respect him."

"So I think it's better to let Xu Fan and Xu Kun continue to be filial at home!"

"These two are still young, and they will have time to serve the country in the future, but there will be no opportunities to serve the high court. The country governs the world with filial piety, and when I ascend the throne in the year of Chong, we should advocate benevolence and filial piety to govern the country. I wonder what you think?"
