Wanli Youming

Chapter 37

Since Feng Bao fell from power, the eunuchs in the 24 yamen of the inner court no longer dared to ignore Zhu Yijun, but Zhu Yijun obeyed.

Because of this, Zhu Yijun can use his power to do many things, such as arranging eunuchs to pass some messages on his behalf, or investigate something, without worrying about another person like Feng Bao trying to stop him in the name of Queen Mother Li's displeasure. He, or ask him to do something in the name of making Queen Mother Li happy.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun can already arrange for Zhang Jing to send something to the courtiers in the outer dynasty.

Of course, because Zhu Yijun was still a young emperor, even if he asked Zhang Jing to pass on his edict to the officials of the outer court, the officials of the outer court would only regard this meaning as Zhang Juzheng's.

But only think that eunuchs like Zhang Jing belong to Zhang Juzheng.

After all, Xiao Wanli trusted Zhang Juzheng so much that he even let Zhang Juzheng get rid of his big companion Feng Bao, and even tolerated Zhang Juzheng's rejection of some of the Queen Mother's opinions, which shows how much Zhang Juzheng is trusted by Xiao Wanli.

So, who else among the other eunuchs in the inner court would dare to oppose Zhang Juzheng, why not follow Zhang Juzheng's order?

Naturally, only the eunuchs around Zhu Yijun and the very few people around Zhang Juzheng knew that it wasn't the emperor who believed in his husband Zhang Juzheng because he was young and naive, it was the emperor who did so on purpose.

Therefore, those who are dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng are naturally waiting for Wanli to grow up.

Xu Fan, who was on the way to the army, was also thinking about the words his father said at this time, that is, "Wait for the emperor to grow up, and wait for Ziwei to become the country."

He never thought that he would be reduced to this point.

Qi Jiguang knew the news that Xu Jie's eldest son, Xu Fan, was going to join the army a few days before Wang Yongji escorted Xu Fan to the army.

Because of this, Qi Jiguang had no choice but to ask Wang Yongji after he arrived, "I don't know if Yuan Fu has something to say. Regarding Mr. Xu's enlistment here, how should he deal with his humble position?"

"Your question is just right. The Holy Will is for me to convey Yuanfu's words to you."

Wang Yongji replied with a smile.

"Holy will?"

Qi Jiguang was a little stunned when he heard this, and then he understood again, so he cupped his hands and bowed: "I respectfully accept Yuan Fujun's order."

"Mr. Xu is Mr. Xu, and Xu Fan is Xu Fan."

After Wang Yongji said it, he said: "This is Yuanfu's original words. In addition, the factory owner also conveyed something, saying that you want the public to know that your name has been pasted on the screen that Yuanfu and the soldiers gave to the emperor. The emperor put him in his study, watched him every day, and drew a few more circles on his name."

Qi Jiguang nodded after hearing this, and when he heard that the emperor had noticed him, he couldn't hide his joy and straightened his chest a little, and said: "Thank you Yuanfu and my soldier for your introduction."

Immediately Qi Jiguang said to his general Chen Ziluan: "You heard Yuanfu's words too? Go and make arrangements, so that Mr. Xu can experience the life of exile."

After Chen Ziluan bowed his hands and said yes, he left.

After Chen Ziluan left here, Wang Yongji said again: "I have something to tell you. It is imperative to succeed in the examination presided over by Yuan Fu. For this reason, Mr. Xu has also obtained a guarantee. This year The Ministry of War will take strict examinations for the generals of the world's generals, and it should be an example, and it must ensure that no foreign troubles are caused by the internal affairs reform, after all, Jizhou is very important."

"Please don't worry about this soldier. I dare not slack off in my humble position. If there are any soldiers who sneak past Jizhou without orders from the Ministry of War, Yuan Jing is willing to die to apologize!"

Qi Jiguang promised.

Wang Yongji laughed: "So, my mission for this trip has been completed. Next, I just ask you to show me around and ask about the price of food and the situation of winter clothes."

"Please!"

Xu Fan had been watching Qi Jiguang and Wang Yongji from a distance at this time, and ignored him, and couldn't help sighing: "It's true that no one takes me seriously."

Snapped!
As soon as he finished talking to himself, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, and then heard a crisp sound.

Then, Xu Fan felt his back started to burn like fire again.

Xu Fan couldn't help turning his head back, looking at the sergeant with the whip in his eyes, "You!"

"This is called the Killing Whip!"

At this time, Chen Ziluan, who was also here, said something, and said: "Everyone who comes to the army must be whipped first, so that he will know the pain, so as not to be whipped again if he is not active in his work! So, later, if If you don’t work hard, you will eat such a whip.”

As he said that, Chen Ziluan pointed to an unfinished side wall on the opposite side, which is the Ming Great Wall, and said, "Go there and follow them to move bricks. When it gets dark, someone will bring you meals."

"Yes!"

Xu Fan sobbed a bit, and then he climbed up the mountain obediently.

But although Xu Fan was fat and big, he didn't have to work hard. In addition, the bricks used to build the side wall were also heavy and large, so he couldn't move it for a while.

Seeing this, Chen Ziluan had to find an old soldier who also came here to serve as a soldier to carry him with him.

But Xu Fan also felt strenuous, and within a short period of time, he collapsed to the ground. It was not until Chen Ziluan came over to beat him with a whip that he had to grit his teeth and continue. When he was sleeping at night, he still couldn't bear to think of the day. Zhu Di hugged the quilt and cried, and gritted his teeth: "Zhang Juzheng! I'll fuck your ancestor!"

……

The capital at this time.

As the year is approaching, according to the new examination system, the formal examination for internal and external officials has begun.

And because Hai Rui didn't agree to speak for the sixth subject, and Xu Jie also wrote letters to his old staff in Beijing soon, so the exam went smoothly, and many incompetent situations were indeed found out.

But under this circumstance, Zhang Juzheng, who was staying up all night in the cabinet listening to the six subjects and the six departments, as well as the examination results of the two academies, five temples, one prison and two academies, suddenly couldn't help coughing. Continue to read the six subjects.

"A total of 230 and seven unfinished official affairs have been detected in the six departments this year, involving 54 people including Fengyang governor Wang Zongmu and inspector Zhang Genghua."

During the incident, Luo Zun reluctantly continued to read.

"so much?"

Zhao Zhenji, who had already served as a cabinet minister in the capital, couldn't help but ask first, and then said sharply: "It's very likely that everyone should be dismissed first!"

"inappropriate!"

At this time, Zhang Juzheng stopped him first, saying: "Even if he is dismissed, he should wait for the successor to be recruited, and it is even better to give him a chance to defend himself."

"What's the use of letting him defend himself like this ****?!"

Zhao Zhenji replied.

Zhang Juzheng said: "Let them defend themselves! If there are some corpses with vegetarian meals, it is considered a minor illness, and emergency medicine can be used. But this is dozens of border officials who are incompetent, not dozens of courtiers. It needs to be treated with slow medicine, if all the officials are dismissed, don't you worry that the competent ones will also go with the crown?"

Zhao Zhenji sat back after hearing what Zhang Juzheng said: "What the uncle said is reasonable. It's the servant who cut it!"

Zhang Juzheng looked at Luo Zun: "Tell me about your six subjects. Why did you not complete [-]% of the things you promised to complete this year?"

At this time, the military department said to Li Ji in the matter: "Time is too tight! Although we have not rested all night, we still can't catch up. Please ask Yuanfu for mercy."

"What kind of favor do you ask Yuanfu to do? Are you admonishing Yuanfu?!"

"You are giving advice for your father, you are practicing the loyalty taught to you by the sages, and you are being loyal to the country as expected by your parents! You are not serving as housekeepers for Yuanfu! And the emperor gave you the power to review six departments and other departments, not to let you Those who ruin the government are relying on you young, high-spirited, and dare to criticize the current malpractice, what did you do in the end?!"

"Don't say you don't have enough time, isn't it enough to give you a year?! I just arrived in the capital at the end of October, and I've finished reading this year's planned archives."

"Are you more lethargic than me, an old guy? Have you lost your edge so quickly when you just entered office?! If you just stare at something like the Minister of the Ministry of War coughing at the grand ceremony, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials dozing off during the court meeting, etc. It is better to be transferred to a foreign post, to be an official close to the people, and to learn to do a few practical things for the people.”

"The so-called gentleman has nothing to do with ease. If you foretell the hardships of farming, you will know how to rely on villains. If you are determined to be a gentleman, you are letting yourself be at ease too early!"

As soon as Li Ji finished speaking, Zhao Zhenji began to reprimand him.

Li Ji couldn't help but trembled, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhu Yijun also learned about the cabinet's examination results from Zhang Jing the next day, which made him have to admit that the first year of the examination was destined to be a lot of trouble.
