Chapter 253: Arrogance is the beginning of failure

In the 5th year of Wanli, on the 23rd day of the ninth lunar month of the golden autumn, the Emperor rarely did not have a regular court discussion. When the comet streaked across the sky, the Great Ming Emperor still chose to maintain the original strategy. Qi Jiguang began to set off for Danning Guard to continue the attack on Tuman Khan.

The strategic goal this time was to completely drive Tuman Khan out of Liaodong, so that the Northern Barbarians and the Eastern Yi Jurchens would be completely separated by the Great Xianbei Mountains. This conquest was completely completed by the Beijing Camp. This time Qi Jiguang went to Danning Guard, 120,000 Beijing Camp troops, would take away 100,000, leaving only 20,000 troops as the defense force of the capital area.

The court officials used the appearance of the comet to oppose the matter of raising weapons. This plan completely went bankrupt because Wan Shihe blocked these winds of public opinion with his own strength.

Today was a day for seeing off. Zhu Yijun was woken up by Wang Yaozhuo at the fourth watch. After breakfast, he changed into military uniform and went to the North Tucheng Camp to see them off. He wore the iron armor that had scars on it, especially the dent on the shoulder, which looked a bit shocking.

Yesterday, Zhu Yijun specifically issued an imperial decree, asking Zhang Juzheng to come to see them off. Zhang Juzheng refused again on the grounds of mourning.

Zhang Juzheng drew a circle and drilled into it, just not coming out.

Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng were the same kind of people. Once they decided to do something, they would definitely do it to the end.

The reason why Zhu Yijun wanted to invite Zhang Juzheng was that since Emperor Xiaozong, the Great Ming Emperor had not stepped into the Beijing Camp. In the time of Emperor Xianzong, Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen would still come to the military camp, but the number of times was very small, twice a year, the spring and autumn grand review.

After Emperor Xiaozong, the Emperor had completely stopped stepping into the military camp, which had become an imperceptible rule. For more than seventy years, the soldiers of the Beijing Camp had never seen the Emperor's appearance.

In October of the second year of Longqing, Zhang Juzheng submitted a memorial saying: The ancestors had the ceremony of grand review, begging to personally come to review, the Ministry of War should cite the stories of Emperor Xuanzong, Emperor Yingzong, and Emperor Xianzong, and request to do so.

Emperor Longqing agreed and let the Ministry of War prepare for the autumn review in August of the following year, and the Ministry of Rites discussed the etiquette and regulations.

Emperor Longqing actually didn't want to go. In June of the third year of Longqing, he summoned Zhang Juzheng and said: It is better to follow the ancestral laws and let the Minister of War go on his behalf.

Zhang Juzheng directly contradicted Emperor Longqing, and his words were very impolite: I secretly think that the great affairs of the country are in the military. In the Gengxu change and the Dingmao barbarian change, the Northern Barbarians despised China. Now people's hearts are lazy and the army is weak. If it is not to borrow the power of heaven to personally review, it is not enough to shake the spirit of weakness and encourage the hearts of the generals.

The Tumu Crisis occurred in the 29th year of Jiajing when Altan Khan invaded the capital region; the Dingmao Incident occurred in the 1st year of Longqing when Tumen Khan invaded the capital region. To speak of these two events is equivalent to rubbing salt into the hearts of the Zhu family. Things have reached this point, and the capital garrison is so weak that the barbarians despise China. Do you, the Emperor, still intend to be lazy?

Emperor Longqing finally agreed, but the time was pushed from August to September. It was mainly because the imperial road had to be leveled from east to west inside the Ding Gate and from west to east inside the Deshengmen to facilitate the Emperor's carriage, and a small gate for welcoming the carriage, a reviewing platform, etc., had to be built inside the Deshengmen. The construction period reached September, and Emperor Longqing finally came out of the palace. After more than seventy years, the soldiers of the Great Ming Beijing Camp finally saw the Emperor again.

Wu Xun soaked in the Beijing Camp all year round and didn't even return to the palace. He was the Great General of the Universe and was a freak.

Zhang Juzheng's heart of shaking the military was definitely not after he took charge of the country, winning people's hearts, but in the Longqing era, and even in the 32nd year of Jiajing, he had already stated his thoughts.

Zhu Yijun went to the Beijing Camp to check the selection of generals and review the troops. Zhang Juzheng specifically asked the Ministry of Works to build the Wu Ying Building in the North Tucheng Camp to facilitate the Emperor's visit for grand review and reviewing.

Zhu Yijun highly recognized Zhang Juzheng's political achievements during his time in charge of the country. Even if he flipped through the two hundred years of Great Ming history, only Yu Qian, who saved the sky and repelled Yesian, could be compared with it.

100,000 Beijing Camp troops going to Danning Guard, this was the result of Zhang Juzheng's shaking the military for so many years, and he had to witness it with his own eyes.

But Zhang Juzheng didn't come.

Zhu Yijun first appeared at the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to his ancestors and burned the manifesto drafted by the Wenyuange for them. The content of this manifesto was mainly to declare the reason for the Great Ming's military expedition this time; in summary, it was that Tumen Khan had gone too far in his bullying.

Hou Yuzhao crossed the Northern Liao River and played a literary version of breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats, almost nailing Tuman Khan to Zhangwu. If it weren't for Dong Huli's urgent advice, and even threatening to split the family, Tuman Khan would have decisively withdrawn his troops. After that heavy rain, Tuman Khan was afraid that he would be wrapped in dumplings by the Great Ming border army.

From the result of the war, it was clearly a great victory for the Great Ming, so how did it become Tuman Khan being too bullying? And even had to dispatch 100,000 troops to conquer?

Tuman Khan going to attack Zhangwu was not submissive, was riding on the head of the Great Ming Emperor to shit and pee, was provoking the authority of the Great Ming, and was bullying people too much.

Therefore, Tuman Khan deserves to die.

Standing from Tuman Khan's position, the Great Ming was completely arrogant and domineering, but why should the Great Ming Emperor stand from Tuman Khan's position to look at the problem? In the 1st year of Longqing, he invaded, in the 2nd year of Longqing, Qi Jiguang went north, Qi Jiguang went to the north to train troops, just to fight Tuman Khan.

When Zhu Yijun walked out of the Taimiao, the Great Ming officials in court dress knelt in front of the Taimiao and shouted "Long live" three times. Zhu Yijun did not let people exempt from the ceremony, but announced Qi Jiguang, Liang Menglong, Ma Fang, Li Chengliang, Ma Gui, and others to come up to the moon platform.

Feng Bao grabbed the whisk, walked two steps forward, shook it fiercely and put it on his shoulder. Two little eunuchs opened the imperial decree, and Feng Bao hung his voice and said: "The Emperor of the Great Ming, the decree says:"

"I am virtuous and young, stepping on the great treasure, lucky to be assisted by ministers and people. At this time, the heaven is circulating, the Central Plains is prosperous, the world is peaceful, the barbarians are submissive, the country is established, the people are slightly peaceful, the food is slightly sufficient, the army is slightly refined, controlling the strings and holding the arrows, the literary Zhang and martial Qi are the left and right arms."

"I respectfully accept the mandate of heaven, dare not be at peace. In the Gengxu and Dingmao changes, the barbarians invaded the country, the world was shocked, the ministers and people were terrified, fearing that the Central Plains would be polluted by the smell of sheep and fish for a long time, and the people would be disturbed, so I led the ministers and people to fight to clear it up, determined to drive away the barbarians, eliminate violence and chaos, so that the people could all get their place, and wash away the shame of China. You ministers and people should realize the spirit of the imperial court's revitalization."

"The Ancestor often said: The people of our China, heaven must command the people of our China to settle it, how can the barbarians rule it!"

"Now I send troops to drive away the Northern Barbarians, save the people from the fire and water, and worry that the people outside the fortress have not known the king's name for a long time, and instead become my enemies, so I tell you: when the troops arrive, the people should not avoid it. I order the army to be disciplined and serious, without the slightest violation."

"Now I appoint the Marquis of Qian'an, Qi Jiguang, as the Great General of Conquering Barbarians, the Deputy Regional Commander of the Beijing Camp, Ma Fang, as the Assistant Regional Commander, the Minister of War, Tan Lun, as the Governor of Military Affairs, the Left Vice Minister of War, Liu Yingjie, and the Right Vice Minister of War, Liang Menglong, as the Consultants of Military Affairs, specially granting the Emperor's pennant, axes, and halberds, to personally conquer on my behalf."

"I am not yet strong, my studies are not yet completed, my will is not yet determined, and I have not yet understood the ten thousand affairs of the day, and I hate that I cannot go together."

"Announce to the world, let everyone know."

"As ordered."

Qi Jiguang stepped forward to receive the axes, halberds, the Emperor's pennant, tooth flags, etc., Ma Fang received the Assistant Regional Commander's tooth flag, and Tan Lun, Liu Yingjie, and Liang Menglong received the seals.

Did Zhu Yijun finally agree to let Tan Lun go to conquer? Tan Lun was initially surprised and inexplicable, and then he knew that the Emperor just let him hang a name, Governor of Military Affairs, in the Ministry of War, in charge of military equipment and food and salary dispatch. Wanting to go to the battlefield was impossible, just because Qi Jiguang was now the Marquis of Qian'an with a hereditary certificate, so the position of Governor of Military Affairs had to match Qi Jiguang's status, so Tan Lun was used to hang the name.

That is to say, this time on the expedition, Qi Jiguang did not have a Governor of Military Affairs with the army, and Liu Yingjie and Liang Menglong were only Consultants of Military Affairs.

The change of this position explained one thing: the Emperor's distrust of civil officials was heavier. If you want to blame, blame the civil officials themselves for making trouble. Without Zhang Juzheng in front of the Emperor to brush favor, and still making trouble like this, it is strange that the Emperor trusts them.

Before, when Zhang Juzheng was there, Qi Jiguang still had civil official restraint. Now the shackles on Qi Jiguang's body had broken another one.

Zhu Yijun really wasn't afraid that Qi Jiguang would learn from Zhao Kuangyin and have a Chen Qiao mutiny.

On the one hand, it was Zhu Yijun's personality. Since he chose it, he would go to the end. If he was beheaded by Qi Jiguang and kicked as a ball, he, Zhu Yijun, would admit this planting and be willing to bet and lose; on the other hand, Qi Jiguang would not, because Qi Jiguang was loyal to the Great Ming. If he led the Beijing Camp to rebel, Qi Jiguang might not win, but the Great Ming would definitely lose;

There was also the Great Ming's system design. The rebellion of the Beijing Camp was almost a pseudo-proposition; most importantly, Zhu Yijun's diligence, he went to the North Tucheng Camp every day to review the troops, and the soldiers of the Great Ming knew whose food they ate and whose clothes they wore.

These four aspects made Zhu Yijun let Qi Jiguang make this decision. This time on the expedition, there was no Governor of Military Affairs, let go and fight.

Accompanied by the number cannon and the drum, Zhu Yijun walked onto the carriage. This time no one helped him. Zhang Juzheng had already resigned. Every time Zhu Yijun saw things and thought of people, he could only sigh. Zhang Juzheng really had a ruthless heart, handing over such a large Great Ming to him, a fifteen-year-old child, really not afraid that he, the young Emperor, would toss the Great Ming apart?

The reason why he didn't ride a horse was because his right arm was inconvenient.

Just like at the beginning, a foot battalion of the Beijing Camp led by Li Chengliang paved the way for His Majesty, and then Qi Jiguang carried the ceremonial sword and sat on a white elephant as a guide, and then it was the long Embroidered Uniform Guard red-helmeted generals guarding the left and right, and the motorcade set off slowly, walking to the North Tucheng.

When he arrived at the North Tucheng, the army was already ready to go.

Zhu Yijun stood on the Great Carriage and looked at the army formation of the Great Ming Beijing Camp, arranged neatly and seriously in units of foot battalions, with flags fluttering, hunting in the autumn wind.

Qi Jiguang got off the white elephant, returned the ceremonial sword to the Duke of Wei, Zhang Rong, and walked to the middle army carriage, put the pennant and axes given by the Son of Heaven on the middle army carriage, and then turned on his horse, rode to Zhu Yijun's carriage, raised the hook-sickle gun in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

Zhu Yijun, dressed in military uniform, said with a smile: "The Great Ming army is mighty!"

Qi Jiguang raised the hook-sickle gun in his hand again, the Qi-character tooth flag on the wall of the North Tucheng began to wave, and the shouting of "Your Majesty is mighty" began to rise and fall, from the beginning slightly disorderly, to neat and uniform, shaking the mountains and rivers.

Zhu Yijun stood in the wind, walked down the Great Carriage to a side-carriage, slowly unfolded and flattened the small flag on the side-carriage, and then pushed the wheel hub of the carriage, and the army set off.

Slowly unfolding and flattening the small flag meant victory in the first battle. To keep the flag in an unfolded state, there were iron wires fixed inside.

Pushing the wheel hub of the war chariot, this etiquette of setting off on an expedition was the Zhou Rites, or even earlier.

The army began to set off on an expedition, and Zhu Yijun also arrived under the Wufeng Building of the North Tucheng wall, watching the Great Ming army go far away. Once the number of people exceeded ten thousand, it was a sea of people, uncountable. The dispatch of 100,000 troops was a long process. Zhu Yijun stood on the city tower with Prince Lu Zhu Yijun, watching the army leave.

"Before, General Qi was worried about whether it was the last opportunity to go out of the fortress to conquer, wanting to take a military risk and take Quanning Guard in one fell swoop. At that time, General Qi only had 10,000 people, while Tuman Khan had more than 60,000. This was a military risk, and General Qi really wanted to do it, but in the end, under Ma Fang's advice, he didn't do it in the end." Zhu Yijun told Zhu Yijun about the old things before.

"Ma Fang advised him, saying that he believed in me, believed in the teacher, the teacher was mourning and resigned, but I still did it."

"Yijun, you must remember, a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold. Either don't promise, or fulfill the promise."

Zhu Yiliu nodded very solemnly. His heart was pounding, and his hands were trembling. This was the first time he had witnessed the majesty of the Emperor.

This kind of big scene was the first time he saw it. The Emperor's majesty was vividly displayed in those shouts of "Your Majesty is mighty." The fearful and terrified eyes of the court officials made a deep impression on Zhu Yijun, but all of this was not without cost. The hardship of the Emperor reviewing the troops every day, Zhu Yijun saw it in his eyes.

The majesty is true majesty, but it is all exchanged for sweat, and even blood.

In February of the 5th year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun fell off his horse, rolled twice on the ground, and rested for a full month before he could ride again. Fortunately, the horse didn't run fast that time.

The more majestic the Emperor brother is, the more peace of mind he, the Prince Lu, can indulge in pleasure.

"Brother, you promised the teacher that the Tax Inspection Institute should have a head, but now there is none." Zhu Yijun remembered one thing. His brother's credibility was extremely good. If he said he would kill you, he would personally go with a knife. That Chen Youren who slandered General Qi's eastern expedition to pacify the Japanese used his life to make a footnote for His Majesty's keeping his word.

But there was one thing, his own brother didn't fulfill the contract, the head of the Tax Inspection Institute.

"Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned! You little rabbit, you are grown up now, you dare to tease me!" Zhu Yijun directly gave Zhu Yijun a brain collapse!

Little Prince Lu, actually dared to tease the supreme Emperor of the Great Ming!

The dispatch of 100,000 people was not simple. Actually, it would be divided into three parts: vanguard, middle army, and rear baggage. Just the vanguard setting off reached the afternoon. Zhu Yijun asked and found out that only the vanguard set off today. Li Chengliang and Ma Gui were the vanguards, leading 20,000 people to go first, while the middle army had to set off in the afternoon, and the rear baggage would be the next day, and then the food and civilian laborers would have to set off for more than ten days.

Conquest was never a simple matter.

Zhu Yijun's lunch was solved in the North Tucheng Camp. Zhu Yijun was angry that Zhu Yijun exposed his old brother, and fed Zhu Yijun a piece of light cake. Now that the light cake had more oil, it was no longer so difficult to swallow. Zhu Yijun ate with relish. Occasionally eating it was actually not bad.

Zhu Yijun actually secretly bit the light cake and directly broke one of his baby teeth, but the Emperor had long been gnawing on the light cake on the grounds of grinding teeth.

In the afternoon, Zhu Yijun officially saw off Qi Jiguang's middle army.

"General Qi, I still say that, the Great Ming army can afford to lose, General Qi can afford to lose, and the imperial court can afford to lose. Duke Zhongshan Xu Da even lost. Victory or defeat is a common matter for soldiers. If you can't win, we will fight again next year. Tuman Khan cannot afford to lose." Zhu Yijun exhorted Qi Jiguang. He promised Qi Jiguang that he could be defeated.

Defeat is not a shameful thing. Even a fierce general like Xu Da lost to the Northern Barbarians. Losing is not shameful, just win it back.

The reason why Zhu Yijun said this was entirely because the Beijing Camp that went to war this time was a new army, and only 10,000 veteran soldiers had experienced battle. War, Zhu Yijun didn't understand very well. The larger the scale of the troops, the harder it was to dispatch, and they were all new recruits. It didn't matter if they couldn't win this year, just treat it as training.

Who let the Great Ming have a long blood bar? The Great Ming can lose many times. Whether it is Tuman Khan or Altan Khan, as long as they lose once, they will lose everything.

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace, I will try my best not to be defeated so embarrassingly, and not make it difficult for Your Majesty." Qi Jiguang agreed and rode away.

Once a person is arrogant, it is the beginning of failure. Qi Jiguang always maintained a heart of awe for the battlefield. He who does not consider victory first considers defeat, and instead stands in an invincible position. Victory cannot make Qi Jiguang arrogant.

This is Qi Jiguang whom the Great Ming Emperor can completely trust.

"Send Prince Lu back, set off to the Marquis of Yicheng's mansion. If nothing happens, the court discussion will be as usual tomorrow morning." Zhu Yijun said to Feng Bao and Zhang Hong when he was about to get on the carriage, announcing his arrangement, not returning to the palace, but staying at the Marquis of Yicheng's mansion.

Feng Bao was stupid. What is the Emperor doing! Now Qi Jiguang had already left the camp. If the last thing happened again, what should be done? Last time there was General Qi guarding on the side, although there was no big event, the Emperor injured his right arm. This time he still wants to go?

"Let's go." Zhu Yijun's carriage went toward the Marquis of Yicheng's mansion. The ones who were stupid were not only Feng Bao, Zhang Hong, and others, but also the court officials and ministers who were waiting. Wang Chonggu quickly realized something, shook his head, and went to the Yongding Woolen Factory. Cheap Confucians were all short-sighted people, and they didn't know what kind of opponent they were facing!

Could this daring little Emperor be defeated by cheap Confucians?

Zhang Juzheng waited in front of the Marquis of Yicheng's mansion, all the thresholds were removed. He saw the Emperor's carriage and saluted respectfully.

"Exempt from the ceremony, exempt from the ceremony." Zhu Yijun had already taken off his full armor. Inside was a military uniform. He got off the carriage, full of smiles, and sunny.

"Teacher, I just ran over to hide for a while. Teacher doesn't know, that comet streaked across the sky, this group of cheap Confucians was like celebrating a festival, the memorials were overwhelming, I had a headache looking at it, so I came over to relax." Zhu Yijun explained why he came to the Marquis of Yicheng's mansion.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have come." Zhang Juzheng said helplessly. Until now, the Western Hills assassination case, Zhang Juzheng, the former Chief Grand Secretary, had not cleared his suspicion. If it was really Zhang Juzheng who did it, then now Zhang Juzheng was more dangerous than Sima Yi. The Emperor was also really big-hearted, so he came here.

"I have already come." Zhu Yijun's smile was still so sincere and sunny.

Is life important or is the new policy important? Zhu Yijun's answer is that the new policy is important, so he came.

Even if Zhang Juzheng's suspicion was only 1%, then Zhu Yijun, the Emperor, should not have come. From then on, the Emperor would never come to the Marquis of Yicheng's mansion in the Western Hills again, then the person behind the scenes pushing all this would have achieved his goal.

The suspicion chain between monarch and minister would be completely established. No matter what, Zhang Juzheng's new policy would be obstructed, and Zhang Juzheng would be politically dead.

It has to be said that this Western Hills assassination case was launched at a very clever time. As long as the Emperor had a little suspicion of Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng's political death would become a foregone conclusion, and Zhang Juzheng would really just be the Marquis of Yicheng in the Western Hills, with no chance to return to the center of the Great Ming's power.

In the series of political fluctuations of Zhang Juzheng's resignation, Zhu Yijun showed his cold-blooded ruthlessness as a politician, operating like a ruthless political machine, not even taking his own life seriously. If this is not ruthless, what is?

"Teacher, I brought a good thing for Teacher!" Zhu Yijun mysteriously took Zhang Juzheng to the back of the Great Carriage. Behind the carriage were rows of carriages, and the leading carriage was the Emperor's uncle Zhu Zaiyu.

"The Imperial Observatory has a large telescope. Your Majesty knows that Teacher observes the stars, so he set up a telescope of the same kind for Teacher in the mansion." Zhu Zaiyu explained what was actually carried on his long string of carriages, a large telescope.

This thing was expensive to build. Even now, it would cost 50,000 silver to build one. The gift Zhu Yijun brought to see Zhang Juzheng was extraordinary.

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace." Zhang Juzheng was stupid. The Emperor's rewards had always been heavy, but he never expected that the public instrument of the country would be moved to his home.

There were four large telescopes in total. One in the Imperial Academy of Sciences, one in the Northern Yamen Imperial Observatory, one in the Southern Yamen Imperial Observatory, and one in the Marquis of Yicheng's mansion in the Western Hills, which was Zhu Yijun's. If he wanted to use it, he had to go to the Imperial Academy of Sciences. The distance from the Guanghan Hall of the Baoqi Division in the West Garden to the Imperial Academy of Sciences was only a quarter of an hour.

But Zhang Juzheng drew a prison for himself and couldn't get out of the Marquis of Yicheng's mansion, so Zhu Yijun sent the telescope that was originally going to be set up in the Guanghan Hall to the Marquis of Yicheng's mansion for Zhang Juzheng to use.

Zhu Zaiyu went to adjust the telescope, and Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng talked, mainly complaining. When Zhang Juzheng was there, he didn't feel anything, but after he took charge of the government himself, many things made Zhu Yijun very angry.

"The cheap Confucians despise me for being young, and they slander me, wanting to shake the trust between monarch and minister, endanger the country, borrow the celestial changes, and talk nonsense. They should have their tongues pulled out." Zhu Yijun said angrily, despising me for being young, and slandering me, which could be said to be the general situation after Zhu Yijun took charge of the government.

Bullying the Emperor for being young, and slandering everything the Emperor did by borrowing celestial changes, Zhu Yijun was in a bad mood, so he came to the Western Hills to step on the green and relax his mood.

Zhang Hong immediately added: "When the teacher was there, they didn't dare to despise Your Majesty for being young. When the teacher was not in the court, everyone became bold."

Feng Bao and Zhang Hong saw it in their eyes. When Zhang Juzheng was in the court, except for Zhang Juzheng who could chatter endlessly, which court official dared to let the Emperor do this or that? Even if the guest star offended the master seat, Zhang Juzheng let the young Emperor reflect, it was just doing it for show. The pocket money of 1.2 million gold and flower silver a year was not a penny less.

Now that the great power minister Zhang Juzheng was gone, this group of cheap Confucians began to shout, one moment the construction of the imperial palace, one moment the waste of the Buddha tower, one moment the exploitation, and they almost put the name of the king of the ruined country on the Emperor. For example, the disposal of Zhang Cheng of the Ministry of Rites was dismissal and never to be employed again. Zhang Cheng clearly took bribes and got a bunch of ugly and deformed people, but was described by some cheap Confucians as a model of loyalty to the monarch and love for the country. Zhang Cheng's deeds were understood as not letting the Emperor be addicted to female sex.

Zhang Juzheng frowned when he heard it. He clenched his fists, his mouth twitched, and he said sharply: "With them, they dare to despise Your Majesty like this? What a big dog's courage!"

Zhang Juzheng was truly angry. Although he knew about the affairs in the court, he didn't know the details. Once he heard the young Emperor's aggrieved supplement of details, that aura of looking down on everything came out.

Zhang Juzheng actually rarely got angry, especially at Zhu Yijun. In Zhang Juzheng's view, Emperor Majesty had already done it to almost the extreme. Since Emperor Chengzu Wen, which Emperor went to the Beijing Camp to review the troops every day? Even Emperor Xuanzong, who was relatively frequent, couldn't see him once a month.

It was said to be the ancestral law, but it was actually the personal ancestral law of Emperor Chengzu, who won the world on horseback.

But Zhu Yijun did it, so Zhang Juzheng never got angry at Zhu Yijun, but those who faced Zhang Juzheng's anger knew the horror of this anger.

Wang Chonggu really had something to say. If it weren't for Zhang Juzheng's painful beating at the beginning, the grass on Wang Chonggu's grave would be three feet high.

Zhang "Aotian" Juzheng, with a twitch of his mouth, was the master who made all the officials in the world tremble.

Zhang Juzheng quickly figured out that something was wrong. With the young Emperor's temperament, who could bully him?

Zhang Juzheng didn't understand the young Emperor. He had the power of the Daoist master, the means were endless, even Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he saw it. He had the courage and responsibility of Wuzong to dare to be the first in the world, and had an unstoppable sharpness. Could this group of cheap Confucians fight against the Emperor?

"Your Majesty is also joking. In Your Majesty's eyes, the noise of cheap Confucians is just a small matter." Zhang Juzheng's aura of looking down on everything converged and became gentle.

"I knew I couldn't fool Teacher." Zhu Yijun smiled. His selling of misery didn't succeed. Zhang Juzheng didn't fall for it.

"I will come over on the 23rd of every month, and it will become a regular system. If you have the guts, just come." Zhu Yijun told Zhang Juzheng his plan.

Coming over on the 23rd of every month, Zhu Yijun said he would do it. The more actions, the easier it is to be exposed. He was deliberately selling some flaws, hooking people out, and then exterminating their clans.

Now even Qi Jiguang had left. If this group of cheap Confucians still didn't make a move, they would really be too timid.

"Teacher, Wang Chonggu, this guy, entered the Cabinet but didn't work in the Cabinet. Chief Grand Secretary Lu is busy, is there anyone loyal to the country to recommend to take office?" Zhu Yijun came here this time with a purpose, to increase the number of Cabinet Ministers.

Wang Chonggu was too good at self-protection. Entering the Cabinet was like not entering. Lu Diaoyang was a bit unsupported alone.

"I am not in the court, I dare not speak." Zhang Juzheng shook his head. He didn't want to recommend Cabinet Ministers, not because he wouldn't share worries and solve problems for Your Majesty, but because this was not within his scope of power and responsibility. He was now the Marquis of Yicheng in mourning.

"I intend to let Ma Ziqiang and Shen Shixing enter the Cabinet to work." Zhu Yijun knew Zhang Juzheng would say this, and directly threw out two names.

Ma Ziqiang, Zhang Juzheng's "Imperial Mirror Picture Book" and "Four Books Direct Explanation" were all printed by Ma Ziqiang, and Shen Shixing was Zhang Juzheng's disciple. These were all core figures of the Zhang Party.

Despising me for being young, and slandering me, was the original words of Emperor Wanli complaining to Zhang Juzheng after Zhang Juzheng returned to his hometown to bury his father and returned to the capital, bullying him for being young. Wu Xun soaked in the Beijing Camp every day, but Wu Xun did not conduct a grand review, nor did he review the troops, more like hiding in peace. The Leopard House and the Xuanfu Palace were Wu Xun's home. Ask for monthly tickets, Aowu!!!!!!
