Wanli Youming

Chapter 25 is beneficial to His Majesty, so implement it

In the evening, a torrential rain drenched the Forbidden City, making the palace walls and vermilion towers much moister, and also dissipated a lot of heat.

Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun had also left Qianqing Palace at this time.

Only Zhu Yijun was still standing in front of the screen with the names of the town and state officials from all sides, and he was curious in his heart how the names on these screens would follow the development of the original history and cooperate with Zhang Juzheng to complete a vigorous reform.

And as the emperor himself, and coming to this era, he can undoubtedly understand this process more directly, and maybe even directly participate in it, and have a greater impact on it.

"Since Hai Rui has been employed, Zhao Zhenji has also joined the cabinet. From this, it can be seen that what Mr. Zhang wants to assist me in launching will be a drastic reform."

Zhu Yijun said this to himself, and asked Zhang Jing: "Have Mr. Zhang submitted the detailed rules and regulations for the examination?"

Zhang Jing hurriedly replied: "Go back to the emperor, not yet."

After Zhu Yijun heard this, he ordered: "As soon as it is submitted, show it to me!"

"Yes!"

Zhang house.

Hai Rui looked at the detailed rules and regulations of the examination that he had completed with a big smile on his face.

A great sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.

In history, although he was famous for being outspoken and loving the people and defying the powerful, he was also famous for scolding Emperor Jiajing through the ages.

But in fact, having worked in the local area for many years, he has had contact with all classes of the Ming Dynasty, and being familiar with the various ills of the Ming Dynasty, he also has reform ideas in his heart.

And it's intense!
Historically, when he was in Zhang Juzheng's state, he wrote several letters to Zhang Juzheng, talking to him about his reform ideas.

Although he proposed to restore the ancestral system of peeling last grass in the Hongwu Dynasty in terms of punishing corruption, it was opposed by the entire bureaucratic class.

But it can be regarded as an idea of ​​​​revolutionary disadvantages.

Of course, in history, after the Ming Dynasty arrived in Zhengde, that is, in the middle and late period, because of the appearance of Wang Xue, the thinking of the scholar-official class began to have independent thinking and reform. The Tao, everyone can be a sage, so that in politics, many scholar-bureaucrats have reform ideas.

In particular, the Japanese riots that swept across the southeast in the last years of Jiajing revealed many problems of the Ming Dynasty, which made some responsible scholar-bureaucrats have a strong desire to reform and eliminate abuses.

It can be said that from the end of Jiajing period to the early period of Longqing period, Zhang Juzheng was not the only one who wanted to reform.

You know, when Gao Gong was in power, the reforms of opening up the sea and opening up border trade began.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng would not have been able to complete the reforms in the early Wanli period in history unless Zhang Juzheng was the only one who had the heart to reform.

Turning back, Hai Rui, who was also in this period, was also influenced by the trend of thought at that time, and also had his own set of ideas for innovating and eliminating disadvantages and revitalizing Daming.

It's just that he was born as a Juren, and it was impossible for him to enter the center of the empire and become a ruler. Therefore, his reform ideas can only be reflected in a county or a chief secretary in many cases, and it is impossible to affect the whole country.

But now, under the influence of the butterfly effect instigated by Zhu Yijun, a time traveler, he has the opportunity to improve the detailed rules of the examination for Zhang Juzheng. It is undoubtedly to turn some of his ideas of rectifying the administration of officials into national policies, and then promote them to the whole country.

To Hai Rui, this was a surprise.

Zhang Juzheng gave him the treatment of Hu Ji, but he forgot to enjoy it, and only worked out the detailed rules of the examination method wholeheartedly.

After Hai Rui handed over the letter about the implementation rules of the examination method to Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng also read it carefully.

Zhang Juzheng did not modify it after reading it, and directly copied it into the official manuscript, preparing to play it in the name of himself as the chief assistant.

This made Hai Rui even more delighted, and had the urge to make Zhang Juzheng his confidant.

"Frankly speaking, I don't want to carry out what Gong Fenggong added! The reason is that the common people are too lenient and the officials are too strict. I'm afraid that I, Zhang Jiangling, will die without a place to die in the future."

But Zhang Juzheng said this at this time.

Hai Rui froze in place: "Then why didn't Yuanfu change the word and just copy it?"

Zhang Juzheng laughed: "It's good for His Majesty! Once this law is implemented, His Majesty will only be able to bestow favors on all officials in the future, instead of exerting pressure."

Hai Rui was taken aback when he heard this, and then he could only bow his head and bow.

Soon, the handwriting on the detailed rules for the implementation of the examination method arrived in the study room in the form of Zhang Juzheng.

But the one who saw this chapter first was not Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, but Feng Bao!

Because Zhang Dashou, the eunuch with palm prints in the clerk, is Feng Bao's confidant.

Zhang Dashou would consciously show Feng Bao the important chapters delivered by the foreign court first.

After Feng Bao read the specific content of the test, his face immediately sank, and he ordered Zhang Jing, who was also in the supervisor of ceremonies: "When Xu Jue comes, you tell him, just say that I have something to say, and let You Qi go." Convey it to his master! It’s fine if Zhao Zhenji didn’t discuss it with our family in advance, as long as it doesn’t use high arches. But why, how to pass the exam, we didn’t discuss it with our family, so it was handed over to the Supervisor of Rituals? Isn't he afraid that such a successful examination will cause dissatisfaction among the officials, which will affect his position as chief assistant and give Gao Gong a chance to recover?"

Then, Feng Bao wrote two names on a piece of paper, and said to Zhang Jing: "Give this paper to Xu Jue, ask him to hand it over to You Qi, and ask You Qi to hand it over to his family." Master, just say what I say, these two people have to get back together, one must join the cabinet! Zhang Juzheng let Zhao Zhenji enter the cabinet, our family did not stop him, so Zhang Juzheng should not stop the person our family helped into the cabinet!"

Zhang Jing agreed to say yes.

"As soon as the two people's starting and returning chapters arrive, our family will personally present the chapters that have been tested."

Feng Bao went on to say another sentence, then put this chapter memorial into his sleeve, and went back to his outer house, but did not show this chapter memorial to Qianqing Palace for Zhu Yijun to see, it was regarded as privately detained.

Obviously, Feng Bao also intentionally used this method to threaten Zhang Juzheng. If he did not allow him to recover the person he recommended, he would not let the Kaocheng method go smoothly.

The great eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty all had their own outer houses, and they rarely lived in the palace.

After all, apart from the emperor and nobles in the palace, no matter how powerful an eunuch is, he would be ashamed to live in the palace.

It's different outside the palace. Those who are more extravagant may live more extravagantly in the outer house than the emperor and the nobles in the palace.

After Feng Bao returned to the outer house, only Zhang Jing stayed in the supervisor of rites to wait for Xu Jue.

According to historical records, under the arrangement of Feng Bao, Xu Jue could often go in and out of the forbidden court and serve as a consul in the supervisor of ceremonies.

But now, the reason why Feng Bao ordered Zhang Jing to tell Xu Jue what he confessed was also because he knew that Xu Jue would come to the Supervisor of Ceremonies regularly.

After Xu Jue came, Zhang Jing relayed Feng Bao's words to Xu Jue.

However, Zhang Jing came directly to Zhu Yijun after Xu Jue left.

"Zhang Siwei, Xu Fan?"

"What kind of benefits did these two people give Feng Bao, and Feng Bao will retaliate against them? Among them, Xu Fan has already decreed that he can't use it!"

Zhu Yijun looked at the two names written by Zhang Jing on a piece of imperial paper in front of him, and said in a deep voice.
