Chapter 173 The Emperor's Substitute for the Dead (First update, please subscribe)
There is no more Zhang Juzheng in the world!
After such a long sigh, Gu Bingqian fell silent.

Ding Shaoshi was also silent, and the two of them just sat there quietly.

Perhaps, Zhang Juzheng has not been rehabilitated until now, but scholars in the world know better than anyone else that without Zhang Juzheng's ten-year solitude, without his "only husband" controlling the government, the Ming Dynasty would have perished long ago!
But what happened to Zhang Juzheng?

He was extremely honored and favored during his lifetime, but his coffin was opened and his corpse was whipped after his death.

He did a lot of things for the emperor, but what happened to him in the end?Under such circumstances, who is willing to be the emperor's scapegoat?

"Sejong used Yan Song as a knife and begged for food in the tomb. Shenzong's Jiangling, ransacked the house and flogged the corpse..."

Gu Bingqian's voice was full of grief and indignation.

"He is ruthless as an emperor, but that was not a party struggle? Yan Song was defeated by the party struggle, and Jiangling was also destroyed by the party struggle. After all, the Ming government has never left these two words since Sejong. The emperor is ruthless, but Jiangling died. If there was no so-called old party’s counterattack, why would Jiangling be like this? From then on, officials did not dare to invite favors for Yan Song, for fear of begging for food in the tomb;

Gu Bingqian's face gradually turned blue, his eyes were full of misery and he said:
"The most annoying thing is that people who want to do things have to go over and discuss with them constantly when they start to do things, but those who give things, Ke Dao officials, never care about state affairs, they only know how to invite directly to buy names, no matter what No matter what the current situation is, they only care about the so-called clean name, they only care about their personal reputation, so how can they govern, and what is the use of keeping such people?"

Ding Shaoshi saw his palms on the table, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and his eyes were full of shame. Of course he knew why Gu Bingqian was so angry, not only because he had many constraints when he was doing things, but more importantly, Those people used Qing's name to mobilize public opinion and spread everywhere that Gu Bingqian was "Slave of Wei Eunuch".

The majestic chief assistant of Ming Dynasty became Wei Xie's slave, who would not be angry?

"But, who dares to be independent like Jiang Ling?"

Gu Bingqian was suddenly discouraged again.

"There is no Zhang Juzheng in the world anymore. No one will be him anymore. For the sake of the world, he will not hesitate to offend the world? No one else dares, and neither do I. Your Majesty..."

Shaking his head again and again, Gu Bingqian sighed.

"Even our Majesty, he can't. Once His Majesty's knife is thrown out, the courtiers will be divorced, so what should we do? Is it possible to cut off his own arm?"

In fact, this was the most painful thing for the emperors in the late Ming Dynasty.Regardless of Jiajing, Wanli, or Tianqi, none of them had really done anything to the courtiers. Facing the civil official group, they were helpless. In contrast, Emperor Chongzhen once killed more than [-] people in a row in a fit of anger Minister, even if he cut the mess quickly, what was the result?

Officials are alienated from morality, and when they ask about government affairs, they are either submissive, or they dare not speak up.

Facing the emperor's knife, the civil servants chose the simplest method - silence.

What is the situation in the end?
The Manchu and Qing soldiers approached the capital, and the courtiers were obsequious, not knowing whether it was war or peace.The rogue soldiers approached the capital, and the courtiers dared not speak, not knowing whether to flee or fight.

What was the result in the end?Chongzhen accused the ministers of killing, and the ministers accused the emperor of being ruthless, and then the Ming Dynasty was gone.

Why is this happening?

To put it bluntly, the emperor is alone!

After the "Civil Fortress Change" in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor gradually became a loner!Before Yingzong, the military power was in the hands of Xunchen, and civil servants could not intervene in military affairs. Both were officials in the same dynasty, and it was impossible to talk about who dominated the other.At that time, when the emperor suppressed military generals, he had civil servants to help him, and when he suppressed civil servants, military generals assisted him.But the "Civil Fortress Change" has completely changed. The Wenchen family dominates, let alone military commanders, and even Xunchen has to rely on others.Even if Jiajing wanted to use Xun Chen to fight Wen Chen, it would be hard to return.

When Chongzhen went up to cut the mess quickly, he used Donglin to defeat the people who killed Donglin, and used those who opposed Donglin to kill again after defeat, and then naturally all the relatives and relatives left.

Broken arm, this matter... can be done, but when scoring, when there is no superpower, it is terrible to do it!
"so……"

Gu Bingqian lowered his voice.

"We will use Wei Zhongxian today!"

Although his voice was not loud, it still made Ding Shaoshi exclaim in surprise.

"Ah! This, how is this possible!"

No wonder Ding Shaoshi was so surprised. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, this emperor was extremely stupid, absurd, incompetent, and without opinion, and even became Wei Zhongxian's puppet.

"Our man was very smart before he ascended the throne. The emperor teachers all praised him, even at the time of Shenzong, he also praised him. Why did this side succeed, and the other side didn't even bother to read the memorial? , illiterate? Illiterate, what do the gentlemen in the East Palace do for food? They are obsessed with carpentry, ignore the government, and let Wei Yan take power, but even two years ago, the six gentlemen of Donglin died tragically in prison. What did Qing Yi say? Today, we are being deceived by Wei Yan!"

After saying the last sentence, Gu Bingqian asked back.

"If your majesty is as smart as Shenzong, if the six gentlemen of Donglin are imprisoned, what will happen?"

"This……"

Naturally, the emperor was tyrannical!

In an instant, Ding Shaoshi figured out many things that he couldn't figure out, and a thought even popped up in his heart-the emperor is really dark!
No, it's Emperor Tianqi who really has a dark heart.

Even if it is murder, it must be done by someone else.

"The civil servants in the world will no longer be Yan Song, because they don't want to beg for food in the tomb, and they don't dare to be Zhang Juzheng anymore, because they don't want to ransack their homes and flog their corpses behind them, so whether you or me, in the final analysis, although we are anxious about state affairs, That’s it, you, Ding Shaoshi, can report to the king when things come to an end, but are you willing to risk the lives of your entire family to offend scholars all over the world to be a solitary prime minister?”

To offend scholars all over the world and be a solitary figure!
Who dares?

No one dares!

After Zhang Juzheng, there will be no more Zhang Juzheng in the world!

Ding Shaoshi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"So, this one of us wants to use Wei Xie as a knife to plow through the affairs of the world?"

"The plow is unclear!"

Gu Bingqian shook his head and said.

"It can only be said that the government should be less constrained. Two years ago, although Donglin was hit hard, you and I both know that Donglin still has a great influence in the local area. Now the government seems to be calm, but the party disputes It can come back anytime."

"Since that's the case, why did Prime Minister Gu deliberately suppress everyone in Wei Xie?"

On the contrary, Ding Shaoshi was a little curious about the chief assistant in front of him.

"Because... I'm not an eunuch!"

Gu Bingqian said directly.
