Wanli Youming

Chapter 92
After Wang Xijue left Zhang's mansion, Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian all surrounded him and asked about the situation.

Wang Xijue shook his head, he didn't say that Zhang Juzheng was in such a difficult situation that he wanted to kill him, nor did he speak for Zhang Juzheng, he only said: "It's hard to save love!"

After Wang Xijue said that, he left here, and only after getting on the sedan chair, an imperceptible smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

As for Wu Zhongxing and the others, because Wang Xijue's words that "things that seize love are irreversible" are undoubtedly equivalent to adding fuel to the fire.

In particular, many civil servants who really valued the etiquette system more than the imperial decree exploded on the spot!Everyone thought that Zhang Juzheng said something tough to Wang Xijue.

"Etiquette and seduction are two dilemmas! If he, Zhang Jiangling, really wants to be seduced, unless I, Zou, die here today!"

Among them, Zou Yuanbiao, a Jinshi, yelled aloud first.

Wu Zhongxing was also filled with righteous indignation. He exchanged glances with Zhao Yongxian, Zhu Nanyong, etc., then pulled out a white cloth, bit his finger, wrote the words "power ministers disorderly system" on the white cloth, and then unfolded the white cloth in his hands , walking towards Huiji Gate, intending to ask the emperor directly.

Many civil officials from Hanlin, Guozijian, and the six ministries followed.

"I've made a decree to seize love! These people still don't obey, and they still want to force Mr. Ding You. They really don't care about the imperial power!"

After Zhu Yijun learned that many officials had gone to Zhang's house and then to Huiji Gate, he slandered him.

"Mr. Zhang, has the book come up yet?"

After being slandered, Zhu Yijun asked.

"Go back to the emperor, not yet."

Zhang Jing replied.

Zhu Yijun didn't say anything after hearing this, but after a while, he asked, "Tomorrow is the day to watch the court at Xuanzhi Gate, right?"

"Yes."

Zhang Jing replied.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun looked at the gloomy sky and said, "Maybe we will see the outcome tomorrow."

In Zhu Yijun's view, what really needs to be cared about is not these thorny civil servants, but the people in charge of the whole world, whether they also want Zhang Juzheng to return home and Ding You.

You must know that the New Deal not only harmed the interests of scholar-bureaucrats, but also the interests of many generals, that is, military landlords, including the Jinyiwei system.

Because these people have a common identity, that is, landlords, and they are all big landlords.

What Zhu Yijun is worried about is that although it is only the Qingliu civil servants who oppose Duoqing, it is not only the civil servants who sympathize with these Qingliu civil servants, but all the landlords in the world.

The next day was October [-], the fifth year of Wanli, the day when Zhu Yijun looked at the court.

After three whips were fired outside Xuanzhi Gate, civil and military officials entered the city in two shifts.

Zhu Yijun sat in the center of the door, looked at these civil and military officials and said: "My decree of seizing love has already been issued, why are there still court officials clamoring for trouble and opposing seizing love?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, although the decree is issued, the hearts of the world are hard to disobey, so there are those who are dissatisfied. I still hope that Yuan Fu can stick to the filial piety and not disturb the world's rituals!"

Wang Xijue replied.

Ma Ziqiang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also said: "Your Majesty, taking love is taking away the filial piety of a son. People's hearts are indeed hard to accept. Your Majesty should be considerate of human feelings. Therefore, please forgive those who criticize the matter of taking love, so as to show their heart of protecting etiquette and advocating filial piety."

"I didn't say what to do with them! It's too early for Qing to intercede now."

Zhu Yijun asked angrily.

Xu Guo, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the shift at this time and said: "Although your majesty did not do anything about it, I am afraid that some of your assistant ministers will coerce your majesty to impose strict laws! Therefore, Da Zong had no choice but to do it for the official Chen who refused to be robbed of Yuanfu's love." Love! Your Majesty, please learn from me!"

"So, you all hope that Yuan Fu Mr. Zhang Ding You?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

Wang Xijue stood up first and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the ministers and others just understand and oppose those who take love."

"What I'm asking now is if you also want Yuanfu Ding You?"

Zhu Yijun replied.

"Yes!"

Wang Xijue resolutely replied, and said: "I dare not lie to your majesty, seizing love is indeed not in line with your majesty's original intention of governing with virtue. Since ancient times, all sages have respected morality and respected etiquette. How could they abolish etiquette because of Yuan Fu's virtuousness? It’s a big move for a small loss!”

"Who else is against Duoqing, let's stand up and speak out."

Zhu Yijun nodded.

Ma Ziqiang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, seizing feelings is indeed not a policy of advocating etiquette, and I also think it should not be used as a supplement to corrupt etiquette! Ding You should be allowed to return to his hometown. To respond to the weather and to suit the hearts of the people."

"Etiquette should start with respect and end with benevolence. As a minister, the emperor has seized his love, so he should respect the order of the emperor, and this is regarded as following the ritual. How can we only know the rituals of the sons of men, but not the rituals of the ministers?"

Zhao Zhenji retorted at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of my ministers, those who oppose seizing love have forgotten the courtesy of the emperor, and deliberately borrowed the small courtesy of the son of man to respect the great gift of the emperor's king's order! This is intentional. If you do anything wrong, you will be punished!"

"Your Majesty! I was ordered to inspect the Beijing camp, and learned that those who opposed Duoqing were not just civil servants. The governor of the Beijing camp, Zhang Wubo, and the deputy generals of the three battalions all believed that Ding You was a great gift, and it was not appropriate to follow it. Your Majesty must not Don't check!"

The censor Li Xueshi, who was inspecting the Beijing camp, stood up at this moment.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun called out: "Uncle Zhangwu Yang Bing."

"Chen is here!"

Yang Bing stood up at this moment.

Zhu Yijun then asked: "Are you really against Duoqing?"

Yang Bing replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is against etiquette to seize affection, and it is indeed inappropriate."

As soon as Yang Bing said this, the officials present who opposed Duoqing all showed complacency on their faces, and they all glanced at Zhu Yijun and Zhao Zhenji, the officials who supported Duoqing.

Seeing this, Yu Yin, the chief inspector of Jin Yiwei, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I also think it's indecent to take love."

For a moment, Zhao Zhenji and other ministers who supported Duoqing looked even more ugly because of what Yu Yin said.

Zhu Yijun also pursed his lips, and said: "What did the deputy generals of the three major battalions say? It's really like what Li Xueshi, the imperial censor, said, supporting Yuanfu Mr. Zhang Ding You to be polite?"

The Jingying of the Ming Dynasty was reorganized into three major battalions after the middle period of Jiajing, and since Longqing, Yang Bo and Tan Lun successively rectified the operations of the three major battalions. The main defense force.

At this time, Bai Yunzhong, deputy general of Shenji Battalion, Chen Xun, deputy general of Shenshu Battalion, and Liu Dong, deputy general of Fifth Army Battalion, stood up and said, "Return to Your Majesty, ministers and others dare not speak arbitrarily about state affairs, and only know that the holy order is to be obeyed!"

Uncle Zhangwu Yang Bing looked at the three lieutenants in surprise.

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished my words yet!"

At this time, Yu Yin stood up suddenly, shouted hastily, and said: "The meaning of the minister is to steal love and injustice, but it is a sacred order, and if it is a sacred order, one must obey it. This is what I mean, please learn from your majesty!"

"Your Majesty! This is what I mean as well. Although it is inappropriate to seize affection, it is even more inappropriate to disregard the sacred order. It is the virtue of no minister!"

Uncle Zhangwu Yang Bing also hastily changed his words and began to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Li Xueshi, Wang Xijue and the others looked surprised, and Xu Guo even looked at the third lieutenant general Bai Yunzhong.

Zhu Yijun himself was quite surprised.

"Your Majesty! Grand Sima Tan has sent me a legacy copy!"

And at this moment, the eunuch from the study room hurried over.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun stood up: "The legacy?"

He didn't expect Tan Lun to survive Wanli five years in the end.

The eunuch in the study room reported, "I would like to report to the emperor that Grand Sima Tan passed away this morning."

After Zhu Yijun heard this, he hurriedly took over the copy, opened it, and found that it was Tan Lun who asked the emperor not to pursue the matter of the three major battalion generals being paid for nothing, saying that he should be a general who stayed in the country.

Only then did Zhu Yijun understand, why the third lieutenant general of the three major battalions suddenly supported Duoqing, and said: "The decree will be given to Tan Qing for a day, and 3000 taels of silver will be given to Tan Qing, and the Ministry of Rites will give you the posthumous title he pursued. You Xu Qi added an official title."
