Chapter 926 Governing the country, but that's it

Power makes people swell. The size of a person's butt determines how big his head is. I'm afraid only saints can avoid falling into this cliché. Even a wise man like Zhang Juzheng did a lot of extraordinary things after he monopolized the power.

Zhang Jing is such a vulgar person who falls into the clichés.

The Silijian, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Censorate, and the Sixth Department Lobby were all handed over to Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing felt that there were four words written on his left chest, “Who dares to mess with me”, four words written on his right chest, and four words written on his back, “Who is invincible in the world”!

At the gate of Yongshou Palace.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhao Zhigao, and the second assistant of the cabinet, took several memorials and requested to enter the palace to meet Emperor Wanli.

Wei Zhongxian blocked their way: "The two cabinet masters, Eunuch Zhang, said that all the cabinet's memorials were sent to the Silijian. They were transferred to the Emperor."

Zhao Zhigao said in embarrassment: "Eunuch Wei, can we provide some convenience? These memorandums are all expedited. The Henan Mitian sects bandits' uprising, and the Henan Governor asked the court to quickly dispatch troops to suppress them; the Jiangxi autumn floods, flooding thousands of hectares of fertile land. The Jiangxi Censor asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds for disaster relief as soon as possible; the Ji Liao Governor came to report that the Tatar Chila tribe broke away from the control of the Sanniangzi and stared at our Ming Dynasty. The Ji Liao side requested an increase in military pay in case of an accident..."

Today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the prosperous situation when the new policy was implemented. The national situation is beginning to decline. There are thousands of difficulties in the cabinet.

Wei Zhongxian lowered his voice and said, "Shoufu Zhao, I, Wei Zhongxian, are just a servant who serves people, how dare you stop your old master? But Eunuch Zhang has a life, I have to follow. Look, all the guards and imperial guards in Yongshou Palace have been replaced by the Dongchang military service. These people only follow the orders of Eunuch Zhang. Even if I want to let you in, the guards and imperial guards will not give way to you. I think you should go to the Sili Supervisor to find Eunuch Zhang."

Chen Yipin is different from the cowardly Zhao Zhigao, who has a bad temper. He whispered loudly: "Okay! Let's go to the Sili Supervisor to find Zhang Jing! I want to see if Zhang Jing dares to deduct these few notes!"

The two came to the Sili Supervisory Office.

Zhang Jing was drinking tea with "tips" when he saw the two old men coming, he didn't even raise his butt, but just asked arrogantly: "What's the matter with you guys?"

Zhao Zhigao told Zhang Jing about the content of the memorandum.

Zhang Jing smiled slightly: "I fell that day. Just these little things are worth alarming the emperor?"

Chen Yiguan was so angry that he heard this: "Eunuch Zhang, the Mitian bandits are about to rebel, and they are about to capture Anyang Prefecture. This is a trivial matter? More than 100,000 disaster victims in Jiangxi are about to starve to death. This is a trivial matter? The Tatar Chila tribe has 20,000 cavalry and threatens our Ming border. This is a trivial matter?"

Zhang Jing spread three folds on the table and talked seriously: "Chen Cifu, don't think that the people in your cabinet can manage politics. Let's talk about this first thing first, the Mitian sect bandits are just a group of mud legs and a mob. As far as I know, there are more than 20,000 military troops in Henan who are feeding wages! The 20,000 military troops can't even deal with a group of mud legs? Are they 20,000 pigs? The sergeant commanded the governor of Henan and the Dusi to immediately lead the provincial military troops to clear them. Why do you need the court to transfer troops to?"

Chen Yiguan was anxious: "Eunuch Zhang said lightly! The military system of the Ming Dynasty's garrison has long been rotten to the core. Henan's garrison has 20,000 people on the Ministry of War list, but in fact only 10,000 old and weak! If they can deal with the bandits, will the Henan Governor use this 800-mile expedited memorial?"

Zhang Jing ignored Chen Yiguan and continued: "The second thing is the flood in Jiangxi. Even if the Jiangxi bank has no money to provide relief, they can find ways to raise it on the spot! There are always more ways than difficulties!"

Chen Yiguan asked Zhang Jing sarcastically: "I would like to ask, how can I raise it on the spot in Jiangxi?"

Zhang Jing scraped his stomach and thought hard for a while, and then said: "I remember that in the late years of the Pseudo-Yuan Yuan Dynasty, in order to raise military funds, the Pseudo-Yuan imperial court launched a donation for the student in prison. The rich households donated a certain amount of money to get a fame of a student in prison. It is better to let the Jiangxi student in charge donate. Let those rich rich men pay for the money to provide relief to the victims of the court. The court rewards their fame of a student in charge."

Chen Yiguan sneered: "Famousness and fame are famous instruments in the court! Isn't this a private transaction? Haha, that's right, now all official positions can be traded privately, let alone just supervising students' fame?"

Chen Yiguan had something in his words, and he was implicitly mocking Zhang Jing for selling more than 70 censors.

Zhang Jing stood up and asked Chen Yiguan with an angry look on his face: "Who are you throwing your idle article at? Is Silijian the place where you act arrogantly?"

Chen Yiguan sneered: "Haha, I know that Eunuch Zhang is in power now! You don't like me, so you can ask the censor to impeach me and the factory guards to arrest me. OK, Eunuch Zhang will do it without any effort. I will just complain to you!"

After saying that, Chen Yiguan walked out the gate angrily. At the door, he turned his head and said, "I threw away my official hat and felt unhappy and relaxed. However, I advised Eunuch Zhang to do it myself and not to destroy the country and country of the ancestors."

After saying that, Chen Yiguan left.

Zhang Jing pointed at Chen Yiguan's back and said to Zhao Zhigao: "Look, this is also what the second assistant of the cabinet should say? Chen Yiguan is really a bastard."

Zhao Zhigao hurriedly mixed up: "Eunuch Zhang calmed down. It's all because of the urgent matter. Chen Yiguan was impatient again..."

Zhang Jing said: "Shoufu Zhao is a man who is a conspirator in the country. Chen Yiguan is at best a thorny head. Such a thorny head can do anything besides being able to shake his face. What else can I say just now? Oh, there is also this third thing. The Tatar Chila tribe was under the jurisdiction of the Third Lady. They are eyeing the Ming Dynasty, so they can let the Third Lady take care of it."

Zhao Zhigao said timidly: "I have considered this method. However, the security of the Ming Dynasty's barrier-proof security depends on a foreign woman to maintain it, and it is never decent."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "What's the use of decentness? In the Ming Dynasty, sometimes I just love the word "decentness". What about not cede land, not pay compensation, not getting married, and the king dies in the country... No, I think Emperor Wen of Han is a smart person. He used a few princesses, some money, and a few small places that were dispensable, which made the Huns in the north calm for twenty years!"

Zhao Zhigao, the soft boy, saw that Zhang Jing had decided, had to say: "Then all these three things will be done according to Eunuch Zhang's wishes."

Zhang Jing sent Zhao Zhigao away and laughed in his heart: What's the difficulty of governing the country? Ha, in the future, I will learn from Zhang Juzheng and take charge of the Ming Dynasty for the emperor!

Yongshou Palace Hall.

Emperor Wanli was having lunch.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shoufu, Chen Cifu came to Yongshou Palace and was blocked by the Dongchang Fans under Eunuch Zhang."

If Zhang Jing was the ancestor who sowed the dissent, then Wei Zhongxian was also one of the masters who sowed the dissent. It was him who blocked Zhao and Chen. He threw dirty water on Zhang Jing in one sentence.

Emperor Wanli frowned: "Oh? Is there anything wrong?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Yes, the emperor. I also heard that the two old masters went to the Sili Supervisor. Chen Cifu had a big fight with Eunuch Zhang. He said he wanted to take leave and go home to recuperate."

Emperor Wanli thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Today's glutinous rice porridge is very fragrant. I remember that He Liuya's mouth is not good. You go to He's mansion and give him a bowl of glutinous rice porridge."
