Chapter 9 Chapter Nine Zhang Juzheng's Flaws

When the country was in a deep crisis, the finances were unable to make ends meet, the refugees were making trouble everywhere, and the political corruption was unbearable, Zhang Juzheng seized the supreme leadership with his unfathomable scheming and insidious means, and gave full play to his ingenious talents to creatively carry out He launched a great political movement——He Ximu, managed the matter without offending others as much as possible, ushered in new vitality for the Ming Dynasty, deserved the title of the most outstanding politician, and can be called the pillar of the country. pride.

Enough with the good stuff, let's talk about the bad. Zhang Juzheng, if you say he is an honest person, then hell, an honest person can't sit in his position, and it's not very reliable to say that he is a good person. After all, he has done a lot of things that good people can't do, to be exact , he is a fierce man. On this point, Comrade Wang Shizhen is very emotional. During the Jiajing Wanli period, the name of the number one talented scholar was firmly hung around the neck of this man. Even Xu Wei could not compare with him, because he was not only a famous writer, but also a dramatist, poet, painter, and literary critic. He is a famous writer and historian, so famous that he got drunk the night before and said that someone is good, he is a good person, and the next day, no matter whether this person is a real person or not, he will become a celebrity immediately. I will never forget it for a lifetime", having this kind of supernatural power is really not just blown out.

But the problem is that although this celebrity has a great talent and has written a lot of things, he has only done two things in his life. The first is to scold Yan Song, and the second is to scold Zhang Juzheng. Complaints, scolding Zhang Juzheng is different. On this matter, Wang Shizhen put a lot of energy into it, saying that Mr. Zhang took bribes and played with women, and he had serious financial problems and life style problems. Since he accepted bribes, someone had to pay them. Qi Jiguang, the great national hero, did not let him go, dragging him into the water, saying that Qi Jiguang sent several women to Zhang Juzheng, which made many theme writers very embarrassed and ignored them all.

His scolding method is also very special, not just for a few days, but for several months, several years, scolding is too frequent, too addictive, it makes my ears callused, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, court officials made some money Very common, wages are too low, and we Chinese like to talk about ostentation, how can we survive without making money?As for the issue of women, that's really a spoof. As far as I know, Wang Shizhen has quite a few wives. But having said that, Wang Shizhen is called a historian by later generations, and he is relatively objective and fair. Although he is a bit angry, the general situation is still reliable. The reason why he hates Zhang Juzheng so much is because Zhang Juzheng is too fierce, and he hates Zhang Juzheng the most in his life. A domineering person (such as Yan Song), but he is a literati, and Zhang Juzheng is a fierce person, so he can only kill the thief deliberately and has no power to recover.

Because fierce people can punish people, but literati can only curse people. Let's introduce the main deeds of Zhang Juzheng, the fierce man. After reading it, you will find that the title of fierce man is well-deserved. The first characteristic of Zhang Mengren is to beat the dog in the water. On this point, he and his teacher Xu Jie have a fight. Dare to come to you, this is called a master. That's how Xu Jie dealt with Yan Song, and that's how Zhang Ju dealt with Gao Gong. Ever since he was driven home by Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong's heart was ashamed, and he devoted himself to learning in his hometown in Henan, but what he didn't expect was that in the capital hundreds of miles away, a conspiracy capable of killing others was about to be staged.

On the morning of the 20th day of the first lunar month in the first year of Wanli (1573), there was heavy fog. The ten-year-old Emperor Wanli got up very early, got into the sedan chair, and was about to go to the morning court. In the thick fog, he approached the place where he met——Qianqing Gate. Just as they passed through the gate, the guards suddenly spotted a suspicious-looking person, immediately stepped forward to surround him, and sent him to the guard department for processing. All of this happened quite suddenly. In this gray mist, it started suddenly and ended suddenly. In addition, the arrested brother did not resist, so it did not attract too many people's attention, and the emperor was still young. It is also difficult for him to remember.

In this mysterious fog, things seem to have passed like this, but it turns out that this is just the beginning of a deadly conspiracy. Three days later, the relevant departments submitted an interrogation report to the cabinet, an inexplicable report: The trespasser, Minister Wang, was born in Wujin County, Changzhou. He was carrying a sword. It is unknown when, how, and purpose of entering the palace. The rest are yet to be investigated. Let me explain here, this uninvited guest is not a minister, his surname is Wang, and his name is a minister (with such a name, he is really a troublemaker).

Zhang Juzheng became angry when he saw it. Could it be that this man is a steel warrior?You asked for three days, and you came up with this result? However, in an instant, he suddenly realized that this was an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.A smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth. That's fine, let's do it. One day later, Minister Wang was sent to a new interrogation agency. Zhang Juzheng no longer worried about not being able to confess, because in this place, it is said that only the dead do not speak—Dongchang. According to some historical records, there are more than 30 kinds of torture in Dongchang, and one can try one every day, and do not repeat it for a month.It is not easy to be so creative.

But Zhang Juzheng's ultimate goal is not to make him speak the truth, what he wants is just a line. However, Comrade Wang Dachen seemed to be very ignorant. After the friends of Dongchang used torture tools to "talk enthusiastically" to him for a while, he told his own background. Unfortunately, it was exactly what Zhang Juzheng didn't want to hear: "I'm a deserter." Minister Wang said, "I ran away from Qi Jiguang." The background is indeed not small. This time, the head is getting bigger, this big soldier is still Qi Jiguang's subordinate, he entered the palace with a knife, and even ran to the emperor's side, there must be a conspiracy, we must investigate to the end, since we have clues, let's investigate, follow the vine, investigate Social relations, check the backstage background, first check the soldiers, then check Qi Jiguang, and finally check...

Boy, do you want to play with me? It doesn't matter, anyway, people are under the management of Dongchang, and Dongchang is under Feng's custody. Since he can speak, he will definitely be able to recite his lines. So after a while of intense work, Minister Wang gave a new confession: "I'm here to assassinate the emperor, and the people who instigated me are the family members of Elder Gao Ge (Gao Gong)." Yes, this is the most ideal confession, Feng Bao laughed, and Zhang Juzheng also laughed. Looking at Minister Wang who bowed his head and begged for mercy, the two believed that Gao Gong was doomed this time.

However, the facts proved that these two old and cunning brothers were still wrong. Not only did they misread the situation, but they also misread the deserter in front of them. When the results of the interrogation came out, the response was unprecedentedly fierce. The ministers who used to quarrel for a day over trivial matters, unexpectedly formed an unprecedented unanimous opinion-planting. This is all obvious, first knock people down, then make people bad, and finally kill people. Everyone knows this trick, and it's useless to fool ghosts. So shortly after the confession was announced, many people found Zhang Juzheng openly and secretly, hoping that he would stop making trouble and stop as soon as possible. Mr. Zhang is an old fox after all, and kept pretending to be deaf and dumb, saying nothing until another person came to his door. Others can pretend to be stupid, but this person can't, because he is not only a veteran, but also Zhang Juzheng's idol - Yang Bo. Although Mr. Yang is getting older, his combat effectiveness has not diminished at all. He stepped forward at the critical moment, ready to intercede for Gao Gong. But I'm still a little curious about his move, because this man has belonged to the spectator family for decades, be it Xu Jie or Yan Song, he has never reached out to anyone who is unlucky, and according to historical records, he It has nothing to do with Gao Gong, but this time he realized his conscience, and was about to make a move. Could it be that his brain suddenly opened up? So with admiration for him, I searched for a lot of information and sorted out his family tree, and finally found the answer to the question. Yang Bo had nothing to do with Gao Gong, but he had a son named Yang Junqing. Coincidentally, Yang Junqing found a wife whose father-in-law was Wang Chonggu. Needless to say, Wang Chonggu and Gao Gong, classmates and buddies, Governor Wang's job was introduced by Gao Gong, so it's not meaningful not to say a few words. There is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason, I believe. Master Yang cut straight to the point, and rushed to Zhang Juzheng: "Why did you bother to do this?" This sentence is a bit hurtful to self-esteem, Zhang Juzheng immediately retorted: "Do you think I arranged the matter to this point?" "That's not what I meant," Yang Bo said in the end, "but only you can solve this matter." Zhang Juzheng was silent, he understood that Yang Bo was right, Gao Gong's life and death were only in his own hands. So after sending Yang Bo away, he decided to use a special method to make a choice—to ask for a lottery. After kneeling down for a long time, Zhang Juzheng got the lottery that belonged to him in the temple, and when he saw the content on it, he immediately made up his mind. It is said that there are only eight words engraved on that sign——what you want is not good, so why pray to God! But the matter had already happened, and it was impossible to stop, so he decided not to participate in it, let Feng Bao go to the trial by himself, and specially appointed Zhu Xixiao, the governor of Jinyiwei, to interrogate him. Facts have proved that this arrangement fully embodies Zhang Juzheng's outstanding political genius, but suffers from his friend Feng Bao, because soon, this eunuch Feng will become a famous laughing stock in the history of Chinese justice. On the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month in the first year of Wanli (1573), the trial of Minister Wang officially began, and a joke was about to be unveiled. The presiding judges of the case were Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of Dongchang, and Zhu Xixiao, the governor of Jinyiwei. This brother Zhu has a great background. His ancestors followed Zhu Di, the emperor of Yongle, to fight the world. A few dozen people dared to chase thousands of people. Zhu Neng, a super famous general. He has a good character and is considered a good person. He felt that Feng Bao had done a bad job, so he planned to push him up. So before the interrogation, he carefully read the interrogation transcript, and was surprised to find that Minister Wang's first statement and second statement had many details that were incorrect, obviously altered, but what surprised him even more was that these two statements were full of loopholes. The transcript, the conclusion drawn at the end of the volume turned out to be conclusive evidence. So he immediately found the two thousand households who were in charge of the interrogation on the spot, took the transcript and said to them with a smile: How dare you write down the evidence in such a transcript? Those two thousand households didn't panic at all, and only said one sentence, which made Master Zhu unable to laugh: "The original text doesn't exist. Those words were added by Mr. Zhang Ge (Zhang Juzheng)." Zhu Xixiao immediately turned pale with fright, because according to the usual practice, the record of Dongchang's case files must not be disclosed to outsiders without the emperor's permission. Although Zhang Juzheng is awesome, but he is so lawless that it is a bit sensational. So before the official interrogation, Zhu Xixiao was very nervous. Feng Bao and him presided over the interrogation, and Zhang Ju was the backstage. From this point of view, Gao Gong's life is likely to be dismissed from get out of class. However, when the interrogation started, Zhu Xixiao realized that he was wrong, and it was very funny. People in the Ming Dynasty tried cases, and the specific format was similar to today’s. The plaintiff and the defendant stood in the hall (they had to kneel in those days), and those who had money to hire a lawyer also had to be present (they were called litigators in those days). It's the same all over the world. There are only two places that are different, one is Jinyiwei, and the other is Dongchang.Because they are secret service agencies, in order to show their strength, before the trial, no matter who the prisoner is, they all have a special treat - a board. This banning, in jargon, is called the killing power stick, and it has a very long history. Whether you are a noble or beggar, whether you are guilty or not, you should be beaten first before you talk about it. This is called a rule. Things go bad because of this rule. Minister Zhu on the counter hadn't come up with a countermeasure yet, but Minister Wang below did not. Although this person was a little slow-witted, he knew that he was about to be beaten when he saw the yamen servant rolling up his sleeves, so he said it was too late. Soon, he suddenly shouted to the hall: "It's agreed to do it for me, why are you hitting me again!" This sentence was very interesting, Zhu Xixiao immediately realized that the show was about to start, so he turned to look at Feng Bao without saying a word. Eunuch Feng was obviously dumbfounded by the shouting, but after all, he was an old fritter for many years, so he quickly responded, shouting at Minister Wang: "Who ordered you to assassinate!?" At this point, those who are savvy should start speaking lines, but this Minister Wang is not only ignorant, but suddenly became Wang Bold, and shouted at Feng Bao in the same tone: "Isn't it you who instructed me? Why don't you know? Why do you still ask me?" Zhu Xixiao worked very hard, because he had to use a lot of strength to hold himself back and not laugh out loud, and the only thing he was interested in now was how Master Feng Bao closed the scene. Since entering politics, Feng Bao has never encountered such an embarrassing thing. The matter has come to this point, and the acting must be performed to the end, so he yelled again: "You said yesterday that Mr. Gao Ge ordered you to come, why didn't you say it today!?" Minister Wang suddenly regained his composure, and made Feng Bao jump up again with a harsher sentence: "This is what you asked me to say. Where do I know Mr. Gao Ge?" It's embarrassing, it's completely embarrassing, as soon as these words came out, even the yamen servants in the hall couldn't hold back, and the trial went so far, Feng Bao wanted to die. At the critical moment, Minister Zhu was still very interesting. Seeing that Eunuch Feng would have to jump into the river, he also yelled: "Bastard, how dare you talk nonsense and frame the judge, drag it down for me!" This brother is really a good person, he turned around and said to Feng Bao with a smile: "Eunuch Feng, don't pay attention to him, I trust you." I believe that when Eunuch Feng heard this sentence, he should not feel relieved. For this reason, Gao Gong will not collapse, but he may be ruined. In order to avoid making a fool of himself, Feng Bao ordered Minister Wang to be executed, and the matter was left alone. But this is still a confusing incident. Minister Wang has been under the control of Dongchang, why did he suddenly withdraw his confession?Who is he? Let me tell you the answer: Feng Bao didn't know that before the interrogation between him and Zhu Xixiao, someone had already taken the lead, sent someone to sneak into the prison, and got in touch with Minister Wang. This person was Yang Bo. After Gao Gong left, the only person whose IQ was comparable to Zhang Juzheng was probably this man. After obtaining Zhang Juzheng's neutrality, Yang Bo realized that Feng Bao was the only obstacle. With a deep hatred, it is absolutely impossible to be merciful. It is really an impossible task to preserve Gao Gong without counting on Feng Bao. However, Yang Bo's reputation was well-deserved. He saw through Feng Bao's psychology, and secretly sent someone to instruct Minister Wang to retract his confession.With his degree of cunning, he was rated as one of the three talents in the world, which is well deserved. According to some historical data, this Minister Wang was indeed a soldier under Qi Jiguang. He escaped from the army because of a mistake, wandered around, and lost his life in the end. But doubts still exist. You must know that the palace is not a public toilet. You can come and go whenever you want. Even today, if you want to go in, you have to buy a ticket. Dude, how the hell did he get in there? I'm sorry, but I don't have an answer to this question either, so let's just assume that he flew in. Gao Gong has passed through the danger, no matter what, he is still Zhang Juzheng's friend, and if he treats friends like this, let alone enemies, because the second characteristic of Zhang Mengren is that he must revenge for revenge. He is simply Xu Jie version 2.0. The first ghost under the sword was King Liao. Speaking of this brother, it really makes people laugh and cry. He hasn't done any serious work for decades. From the age of four to forty, he has no pursuit other than playing. When he was a child, he liked to play. Zhang Juzheng's grandfather was killed by playing with him. Now that he is old, he still plays. Anyway, the family has money, so he can play as he likes! But the time has come when the game is over. For a long time, Zhang Juzheng never forgot the scene where his grandfather was tortured to death thirty years ago. Thirty years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It was only the second year of Longqing (1568), and Zhang Juzheng was only third in the cabinet, but it was more than enough to deal with King Liao. Soon, the censors of the Huguang patrol suddenly swarmed up to impeach the Liao king together. Comrade Wang Ye has been playing for so many years, and the crimes are naturally not difficult to find, and a bunch of black materials are reported to the emperor. Although the Emperor has always disliked the vassal king, he is still his brother. Hearing that this man is not authentic, he sent Hong Chaoxuan, the Deputy Minister of Justice (Ministry of Punishment) to investigate the matter. In fact, in the final analysis, the emperor would not do anything to King Liao. After all, everyone's surname is Zhu, and Zhang Juzheng didn't have much hope for it. However, they all overestimated a little - Liao Wang's IQ. Before the people arrived and nothing happened, the King of Liao became anxious, and walked around the room hundreds of times, feeling that the end of the world was coming, so he had an idea, set up a banner in his home, and wrote four large characters " "The banner of litigation for injustice", with flying ambitions, is very cool. The general meaning of these four words refers to being wronged and very depressed, but the actual effect is quite different, because Comrade Liao Wang probably has too little reading, so he doesn't know clearly. This kind of behavior can be expressed in an idiom Description - Rising up, and it is only suitable for a certain purpose or occasion. So he quickly ushered in new guests—five hundred heavily armed soldiers, and the originally planned warning sanction suddenly turned into expulsion—the abolition of the throne. King Liao, who has played all his life, has finally found his home. He will spend the rest of his life in the prison dedicated to the royal family. The second target Zhang Juzheng dealt with was not his enemy, but Xu Jie's mortal enemy. After Gao Gong came to power, Zhang Juzheng summed up Gao Gong's successful experience in the spirit of humbly learning from his predecessors. During the finishing work, he was surprised to find that mysterious figure—Shao ​​Daxia. Zhang Juzheng never expected that this bastard surnamed Shao would have such great energy, not to mention that Mr. Xu was beaten to death by him, if he was allowed to mess around, maybe one day he would be able to create a Wang Gong, Chen Arch is also a matter of uncertainty. So he came up with the easiest way - to kill him. Since Shao Daxia is a hero, his whereabouts are naturally uncertain, but Zhang Ju is a lord, and it is not too difficult for a lord to find a hero. The legendary bully will continue his career with Hades. The third person who was eliminated by Zhang Juzheng was his student. In the fifth year of Longqing (1571), as an examiner of the imperial examination, Zhang Juzheng admitted a man named Liu Tai. After worshiping the wharf, the two established a strong teacher-student relationship-valid for four years. Liu Tai's grades were not very good, but his luck was not bad. After graduation, he was assigned to Liaodong and became a censor. As I said before, the censor in the Ming Dynasty was a very promising job. It won't be too difficult to be a department-level cadre in the future. Liu Tai is an active censor, but unfortunately, he is too active. In the third year of Wanli (1575), Li Chengliang, the No. 1 savage in Liaodong, chased and fought fiercely, and defeated the Mongolian cavalry, known as the "Great Victory in Liaodong" in history.When the news came, the governor Zhang Xueyan was very happy, and hurriedly sent someone to report the good news to the court, and he could ask for a few rewards by the way. As a result, when they arrived in the capital, the person who reported the letter found out that they already knew about it, so it was useless to ask for it. Zhang Xueyan was shaking with anger, because according to the regulations, he had to report any good news, and even Li Chengliang was not qualified to snatch it. Which grandson was impatient and dared to snatch the business! Soon someone found it, it was Liu Tai. As the censor of Liaodong patrol, Liu Tai is only a seventh-rank official, but he has great power, so this time he made his own claim and grabbed the first prize.But he didn't expect that he would pay an extremely heavy price for this jackpot. The first person to attack was not Zhang Xueyan, but Zhang Juzheng. After learning about the incident, he severely reprimanded the student's behavior and criticized him in public many times, making Liu Tai ashamed. This is a very unusual move. It is said that if you report it, you will report it, but it is a matter of priority, and you haven't gotten any rewards. As for this? If you think so, then you are wrong. Comrade Zhang Juzheng has never done small things. The reason why he punished Liu Tai was not because he was Liu Tai, but because he was the censor. The reason why Gao Gong was able to come to power was all due to the eunuchs, but the reason why he was able to govern was all due to the eunuchs. You know, if you want to suppress the restless ministers under him, you can't do it without raising a few dog legs, and these people The energy is also great, Feng Baodu was almost scolded to death by them, so Zhang Juzheng has always been very vigilant against the speech officials group, lest someone will make trouble with him. Liu Tai committed this taboo, if all the censors are so active and take care of everything, then can I, Zhang Juzheng, still be a fool? However, Zhang Juzheng did not expect that his student was a fool. After being scolded twice, he actually got mad and wrote a memorial to impeach Zhang Juzheng. If stealing merit is considered a trivial matter, then this impeachment is really a major event, a major event unprecedented in history and unprecedented in the future! Zhang Juzheng was shocked, everyone in the world can scold me, only you, Liu Tai, can't! Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, swearing has become commonplace. Single-handed, group swearing, mixed swearing, there are many tricks, and the content of swearing is also very rich. Lifestyle issues, economic issues, political issues, as long as you can think of it, basically all After scolding, it is very difficult to come up with new ideas. However, Liu Tai did it, because he broke a precedent, a precedent that no one broke for more than 200 years - scolding his teacher. In the Ming Dynasty, there was never any relationship between the minister and the emperor. You help me work, and I will give you a salary. It is considered an employment relationship, but teachers and students are different. The world is dangerous and it is not easy to make a living. I admitted you , you have to know acquaintances, you have to worship the pier, so that you can get along in the future. So for a long time, countless "just people" scolded the superiors and dignitaries, and never attacked the teacher.Because even if you scold the emperor, in the final analysis, it is just a matter of entertainment, and if you want to scold the teacher, it is a matter of livelihood. Zhang Juzheng completely lost face this time, in fact, the content of the scolding is not important, even your students scolded you, do you still have the face to hang around? So Zhang Juzheng proposed to resign, of course, it was a fake resignation. As soon as Zhang Juzheng said he wanted to leave, the emperor exploded. The orphans and widows all depended on Mr. Zhang. What would you do if you left the old Zhu's house? The next thing was to follow the procedure. Liu Tai's memorial was rejected, he was dismissed from office, and he had to be sent to the army with a hundred sticks. At this time Zhang Juzheng stood up, and he said that there should be no more beatings, that he should be relieved of his official position and just let him be a commoner. Everyone was very moved after hearing Mr. Zhang's words, saying that Mr. Zhang is really a good person. Mr. Zhang is indeed a good person, because it is too unmannered to settle accounts after the autumn is a quality performance. Liu Tai went home with peace of mind, everything was over, and being an ordinary person might not be bad, but one day five years later, a group of people suddenly came to his house and took him away, because the former Governor of Liaodong and the current Minister of Finance (Shangshu of the Household Department) After five years of investigation, Zhang Xueyan finally discovered the evidence of his corruption back then. In order to achieve justice, he was arrested and brought to justice, and exiled into the army according to law. Zhang Juzheng's style of doing things is generally like this, very artistic, indeed very artistic. And the last important opponent that Mr. Zhang killed was his ally back then. In the seventh year of Wanli (1579), Zhang Juzheng ordered the closure of Tianxia Academy, a total of sixty-four academies. This is the beginning of a long-planned plan. From the day when he came to power, Zhang Juzheng had affirmed a concept - to go up to the world, and to be the only one. Specifically, anyone who dares to stand in the way, who is not convinced, or who raises opinions, must be killed. After several years of tossing, the emperor became obedient, and the ministers became honest. Just when Zhang Juzheng thought he was done, a new enemy appeared before his eyes. This enemy is different from the past, because it is not a person, not even a person, but a very special group force, its name is Academy. Academies are a traditional form of education in China. Many academies in the Ming Dynasty have a very long history, and many of them have been passed down for five or six hundred years. Today, when we talk about Oxford and Cambridge in foreign countries, it is amazing to count the history. Da Mou was so big that he had survived for more than a hundred years, so he was too embarrassed to say hello to others. In fact, there is no need to feel inferior, because ancient academies are universities in the modern sense, but the word university is more fashionable. You must know that the oldest university in Paris was established in 1261, and it basically teaches It's no wonder that theology and other ghost things are a bunch of professional illiterates in Europe at that time. They rode horses and charged around with spears. People who can read Latin can count them with their fingers. Only ghosts have thoughts. What kind of university, Chinese academies have a beginning and an end. It has been going on for thousands of years. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, they basically stopped and changed. This change changed the history, and the year started from the beginning. But among the thousands of years of academies' history, Ming Dynasty academies are extremely special, because apart from teaching, they also like to engage in politics. The so-called politics, that is, some laid-off or employed officials, when they have nothing to do, go to the academy to give lectures, talk about life and ideals, and from time to time they curse and lose their temper. , a big trouble came. The trouble was brought by Comrade Wang Shouren, because his thinking had become a trend at this time. In the academy at that time, if he didn’t talk about the study of the mind when he lectured, he would be kicked out of the stage. There seems to be nothing wrong with the study of the mind, but the problem is that the content of the study of the mind is a bit inappropriate. In layman's terms, it is relatively reactionary. During this period, the mainstream school of Xinxue was the Taizhou School, but this school likes to engage in things like ideological liberation and sexual liberation, and often criticizes the government. The imperial court also had a headache. If it was in Xu Jie's era, it would probably be fine, but Mr. Zhang Juzheng is different. He is a character who does not rub the sand in his eyes. No matter whether it is the end of the world or the corner of the world, as long as he offends him, he will never escape. .If one person provokes me, one person will be killed, and if a thousand people provoke me, one thousand people will be killed! So overnight, almost all influential academies across the country were closed down, students were driven back home, and teachers were laid off. At this point, the matter seems to be over, but Comrade Zhang Juzheng is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He not only wants to catch the group, but also catches the model. The so-called grasping models is to select a leader from among the masses and kill him in public, so as to serve as a warning to future generations. The typical example this time is He Xinyin. The number one mysterious figure in the Ming Dynasty was too nosy, and he was often at the forefront of the masses criticizing Zhang Juzheng.On weekdays, he would come and go without a trace, and he would leave with a hammer and a club, and he would never stay overnight. Moreover, he was all his friends, from university scholars to street gangsters, and they were all supernatural powers. Facts have proved that he has a good eye for seeing people. Fourteen years ago, when he left the capital, he had asserted that Zhang Juzheng was the only one who would rise and destroy Wang Xue. Now his prophecy has finally been fulfilled, in the most unfortunate of ways. One day in the seventh year of Wanli (1579), He Xinyin, who had spent half his life leisurely, came to the end of his life. When he was giving lectures in other places, the governor of Huguang, Wang Zhiyuan, suddenly sent troops to arrest him, captured him in one fell swoop, and brought him back to the Yamen. Before everyone could recover, the official news came out: according to court practice, when the prisoner arrived, the brothers in the yamen wanted to give him two sticks. Unexpectedly, He Xinyin was so weak that he would die immediately after beating him. .Regrettably, his funeral has been properly arranged and buried. As soon as the incident happened, the world was in an uproar, and members of Wang Xuemen swarmed up to scold Wang Zhiyuan, but he was already dead, and Governor Wang cooperated very well, expressing his willingness to take the blame and not getting angry. Everyone scolded Wang Zhiyuan for several months, and it ended. Of course, everyone knows who did this. Although the leader of the Taizhou School knows black and white, Mr. Zhang Juzheng is black and white, although He Xinyin is a fellow of his teacher (Xu Jie), even though He Xinyin once fought side by side with him to solve Yan Song. But for Zhang Juzheng, friend or enemy, there is only one criterion: those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish! The former enemies, the former students, and the former allies have been eliminated. In order to realize my dream, I firmly believe that it is worthwhile. Of course, as the actual ruler of the Ming Empire, after doing so much work and suffering so much, it seems a little unreasonable to live a hard life, and on this point, Comrade Zhang Juzheng is a sensible person. As a result, many of Mr. Zhang's happy lifestyles have been passed down through the ages, and the most famous of them is probably his sedan chair. In the concept of ordinary people, a sedan chair is nothing more than four people carrying one person, staggering forward, and the people in the sedan chair are like being in a prison, and it is difficult to turn around. It should be said that these are all correct, but if you see the sedan chair of Mr. Zhang Juzheng, you will sigh the magic of this world. Mr. Zhang's means of transportation is not called a sedan chair, it has a special name - Ruyizhai.Ordinary people sit in ordinary sedan chairs. Mr. Zhang is not an ordinary person, so the sedan chair is naturally not ordinary. Other people's sedan chairs are carried by four people, but Mr. Zhang's sedan chair... Let's first introduce the operating principle and riding experience of this sedan in detail. The sedan chair (?) was made by the prefect of Zhending. The sedan chair has a large space. It is estimated that the area is not less than 50 square meters. It is divided into two parts: the reception room and the bedroom. For daily rest, in order to prevent Mr. Zhang from being unable to find a toilet in a hurry on the way, the sedan chair has a special toilet, which reflects the humanized design concept. In addition, considering the hard journey, there are viewing corridors on both sides of the sedan chair to ensure that Mr. Zhang can lean on the fence to look far away after work. If he is interested, he can write two poems. Moreover, Mr. Zhang is busy with official duties, and it is inconvenient to handle many chores by himself, so there are two servants in the sedan chair, who are responsible for Mr. Zhang's food and daily life. In addition, the whole car is comfortable to ride, easy to operate, and realizes full voice control, so that you can stop when you stop, and go when you let go. There is no ambiguity, and there will be no water shortage in the water tank, fuel tank shortage, tire replacement, mechanical failure, etc. annoying things. How many people would it take to carry such a big sedan chair? I think there must be at least a dozen people. Dozens of people?That's stepping!Starting from thirty-two people, there is no discount, and you can't lift it up without one person. Master Zhang's principle is, regardless of the cost, as long as the limelight! Believe me, you are not mistaken, and I am not wrong, about this part, I am sure and sure. By the way, besides traveling around the capital, this sedan chair often runs long distances. Zhang Juzheng once took this sedan back to his hometown in Jingzhou. The distance is roughly the distance from Beijing to Wuhan on the Jingguang Line today. A total of more than 1,000 kilometers. Thinking about those days, riding such a big thing and swaggering through the city was really exciting to the extreme. This piece of historical material really opened my eyes and completely changed my views on the means of transportation in my motherland, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Rolls-Royce, what kind of elongated and luxurious models, what kind of sofa and bar, please save it, sorry Take it out and say it, shame on you! Life is comfortable and work is very smooth. Zhang Juzheng's good life seems to have no end in sight. However, the facts tell us that there is no such thing as a life that only advances but never retreats, just as there is no such thing as a stock that only rises but never falls.
