Wanli Youming

Chapter 95 I want to rule alone
"Zhang Han Shangshu resigned from office, Wang Chonggu and Wang Xijue also asked to resign and go back to their hometown to recuperate, and even lecturers Xu Shifu and Wang Yongji also asked to leave."

Yuntaimen.

Zhu Yijun also mentioned to Zhang Juzheng, who was summoned by the platform, the incident of a large number of courtiers resigning after seeing the court, and said to Zhang Juzheng:
"When there was a conflict between the ritual system and the imperial power, many people still chose to abide by the ritual system."

As he said that, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng: "Do you think it's right for them to do this?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, abiding by the etiquette system can only represent part of the morality of the people, and abiding by the morals of ministers can only represent part of the morality of the people. Your Majesty only needs to follow his own conscience, and he doesn't need to care about other people's choices."

"Your Majesty can not use the power of the Son of Heaven to force those who disobey to obey the emperor's heart. It is a great benevolence. They should remember your majesty's virtue!"

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "It may not be true that those who oppose Duoqing are opposed to Duoqing because they are dissatisfied with the New Deal, but at least we can't just think that those who support Duoqing are villains, and those who oppose Duoqing and abide by the etiquette system are Gentleman!"

"If everyone who abides by etiquette is a gentleman, doesn't that mean that those who destroy the New Deal and the country are often gentlemen, so what kind of gentleman do I use?"

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng bowed his hands together: "Your Majesty is wise! Don't allow anyone to take this opportunity to insist on a moral distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, and then allow villains to take the opportunity to make trouble."

Zhu Yijun nodded: "But this is difficult!"

"We don't want to argue about right and wrong, good and evil, but there are always people who want to argue about right and wrong. After all, those who oppose Duoqing will not be willing to oppose Duoqing in vain. They must think that they must achieve a goal."

"Now I'm afraid I'm just waiting for the chance for Zhen Ting to stick them and brand myself with the reputation of loyalty and integrity in the world."

"Your Majesty has insight into people's hearts, but this is enough! Even if I get the name of An Shi, I will have no regrets!"

Zhang Juzheng replied.

"Don't say that, sir."

"If you are also regarded as a traitor, it can only prove that the emperor has failed, and even the meat eaters of the entire Han family have failed!"

"If those who dare to be the first in the world will be sinners through the ages because of their daring to be the first in the world, then because of conservative conservatives, they will bring the whole society to the end in the future, and tens of millions of people will die because of it. What kind of crime should those who hold the handicapped and the weak should be?"

After Zhu Yijun said that, he questioned Zhang Juzheng.

"Returning to Your Majesty, naturally no one can convict them, because they observe propriety and integrity, they are filial sons at home and loyal ministers at court."

Zhang Juzheng replied with some frustration.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "But the price of the ruin of the country has to be borne by someone, and the bearer of this price is often the emperor. If future generations are held accountable, it is also the emperor at that time who is held accountable."

"So, since in name, I am the one with the constitution in my mouth, and I have to bear all the responsibilities. As the saying goes, all parties are guilty, and I am the one to blame. Now, who is guilty and who deserves credit is up to me to decide. !"

"I can't bear the responsibility, but the etiquette system has the final say!"

Hearing what Zhu Yijun said, Zhang Juzheng froze in place for a while, and didn't say anything.

After a long while, Zhang Juzheng said: "The scholars and bureaucrats of the world have disappointed His Majesty. But please understand that scholars have never been of one mind, and Your Majesty can divide and rule them. It's just that the king's heart is like a mirror. Your Majesty should understand who he is using, what he is doing and what he is doing." !"

"I understand what you mean, sir."

"It's just that I don't just want to divide and rule them, I also want to control them so that they can be driven by me."

"It's not like now, because the emperor's wishes can't be fulfilled, so you can let go of the pick. I want them not to be so willful in state affairs, just like I can't be so willful in state affairs."

Zhu Yijun said.

Zhang Juzheng trembled after hearing this: "What does your majesty mean?"

Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice, "I want to achieve true dictatorship!"

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about such a consequence?"

Zhang Juzheng asked.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Thought about it!"

Then, Zhu Yijun stood up and said, "It's nothing more than my own fault. What's the difference between now and now, when all the crimes are ultimately borne by me?"

"Mr. himself said that it is difficult for scholars to have one mind, so the monarch's dictatorship is the general trend of the world, and it is also God's will."

"If it is not appropriate for the king to rule alone in the future, it will be a change in God's will and a change in people's hearts."

"I know that since ancient times, the hero does not want others to hinder me, and I am willing to be the cornerstone of Your Majesty!"

Zhang Juzheng clapped his hands back.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "That's the best. Otherwise, even though Tan Lun has passed away, people like Qi Jiguang can't be used by me anymore because of Mr.

"Mr. has no one who can take on the mantle. Isn't it because the people you train can only be emperors, and it is difficult to be a private party?"

"Since that's the case, Your Majesty should support the nobles."

Zhang Juzheng suddenly replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "I intend to restore the old system of marrying relatives of the royal family to generals in the future, and please sir to facilitate this in the future."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhang Juzheng replied.

"Wu Zhongxing and others don't need court staff, just demote officials and go into exile."

"Before I can really rule alone, it's not suitable to turn against them and let them be proud! Now that the court slaps them, it will only make them more arrogant."

Zhu Yijun then ordered.

Zhang Juzheng bowed his hands and said yes.

October [-]th in the fifth year of Wanli.

Zhu Yijun finally ordered the punishment of Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian and other Shangshu who opposed the love-robbing. Among them, Wu Zhongxing, who was the first to go to the Shuai, was exiled to Jizhou and sent to the army by Jin Yiwei himself.

When Wu Zhongxing saw Jin Yiwei coming to his house, he thought he was going to be hit by the court rod, so he couldn't help but went south to bid farewell to his mother Yin: "My son is dead, and my mother is my son!"

Then, Wu Zhongxing bid farewell to his wife Mao, and then resolutely walked to Jin Yiwei outside the door: "Let's declare the decree."

But when Jin Yiwei finished announcing the decree, Wu Zhongxing was greatly disappointed and said, "No court staff?"

"How can there be no court staff?"

After Wu Zhongxing asked, he muttered.

But because of this, Wu Zhongxing followed Jin Yiwei out of the city even more awe-inspiringly.

Not long after, Wang Xijue, Xu Guo and others also heard the news, and came outside the city to bid farewell to him and Zhao Yongxian who were about to be exiled.

Xu Guo even held up his wine glass and said to Wu Zhongxing: "Let's do it for the lords! People in the world will remember the righteous deeds of the lords!"

"It's just that the Son of Heaven is benevolent, but he failed to fulfill Jiangling's wish. According to rumors, Jiangling wanted to kill us with a stick! He also sent the prison slave to instigate him before the emperor. Fortunately, His Majesty didn't listen. Jiangling's evil is so evil! One can imagine , How disappointed he should be."

After Wu Zhongxing said a word, he said goodbye to Xu Guo and others and left.

After walking in Wuzhong, Wang Xijue couldn't help saying to Xu Guo: "The evil in Jiangling may not be as Wu Zidao (Wu Zhongxing) said. He really wants to kill a few people. But there is no order for the imperial staff, which is really incredible! "

Xu Guodao: "Yes, maybe the Son of Heaven is truly benevolent, and the future can be expected! After you return to your hometown, you should go to see Mr. Xu and tell him about this matter. He will be delighted to hear it!"

"Of course I'm going to visit!"

"Although Jiangling is in power and suppresses the speeches of scholar-bureaucrats, in the future the emperor will respect scholar-bureaucrats, so it can be regarded as keeping the clouds open to see the moonlight."

"Old Mr. Xu may really have a chance to revive, and follow Sima Wenzheng's actions to fully restore the old system."

Wang Xijue laughed.
