Chapter 933 One month (eighth from the bottom)
Emperor Wanli ordered the cabinet to become a puppet of the Silijian.
Zhang Jing became the most powerful eunuch in the founding of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years. Even the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhao Zhigao, became his follower.
With the strong wind blowing from Emperor Wanli, the fence-bearing grass in the court fell to Zhang Jing one after another. I'm afraid that Zhang Jing will say that the sun is dark now, and these people will agree that "it's really darker than ink."
Of course, not all the people in the court were changing their minds. Many officials with conscience submitted a memorial to resign.
Sili Supervision Valuation Room.
Zhao Zhigao came to Zhang Jing with a stack of notes: "Eunuch Zhang, there are three ministers in the six ministries and seven ministers to resign. Oh, including Chen Yiguan, the second assistant of the cabinet and the Minister of Revenue."
Zhang Jing sneered: "I, Zhang Jing, just took over the power of the imperial court, so all the ten officials of the church resigned? They are showing me the colors! Humph, it just happened! The Ming Dynasty lacked ten of them, and not many ten of them! They don't want to be officials, some people want to be!"
Zhang Jing’s abacus was raucous: I had ten positions for the six-department officials, and I had to choose ten people to make up for it. I can make another fortune!
Zhao Zhigao asked tentatively: "Why do you think the candidate for these people to be replaced by Eunuch Zhang?"
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Let me think carefully."
At this time, Wei Zhongxian walked into the payroll room.
Zhang Jing said, "Zhongxian, you are here just in time. I have a younger brother named Zhang Xun, who is smart and capable in his work. It is better to join the Jinyiwei and be a commander. You are the eunuch of the Jinyiwei, so you have to deal with this matter."
Zhang Jing's younger brother Zhang Xun is a man of great fate. After Zhang Jing became rich, he brought his family into the capital and kept him in an outside house. Later, Zhang Jing accidentally killed Bai Xiaoyan and He Liuxue washed Zhang's house. Zhang Xun happened to stay overnight in Fireworks and Willow Lane and did not go home, so he escaped.
Later, Zhang Jing invested money and asked Zhang Xun to open a pawnshop in the capital.
Wei Zhongxian said respectfully: "Don't worry, Eunuch Zhang. This is a trivial matter. I will go to the Central Army Governor's Office in the next day and hang the sign of the Second Master as an assistant."
In the southern suburbs of the capital, the winter wind was blowing. A carriage was replaced and headed west. Among the carriage, the former Minister of Revenue, and the second auxiliary of the cabinet was Shen Yiguan.
The Silijian had already approved the memorial for his resignation and returning home. He was not in charge and was light, so he planned to go back to his hometown in Zhejiang, and he used poetry, calligraphy and paintings for the rest of his life to cheer up his emotions and cultivate his nature.
Suddenly, a man blocked the way of the carriage.
The person who blocked the way was the Secretary of Rong Zheng, He Liu.
Chen Yiguan got off the carriage and bowed, "Teacher, why are you here?"
In the year when Chen Yiguan passed the imperial examination, He Liu was the inspector of the imperial examination. Therefore, he always respectfully called He Liu the "teacher".
He Liu smiled and said, "Of course I am waiting for you. Chen Cifu, are you going back to your hometown in Zhejiang?"
Chen Yiguan said: "Teacher, students are no longer a secondary assistant now. There are treacherous slanders in the country, and students are ashamed to stand together with treacherous slanders. It is better to retire to the countryside, and they are free from the hardship of documents."
He Liu curled his smile: "Since you always call me a teacher, then I, the teacher, will give you a teacher's order: go back to the capital!"
Chen Yiguan said: "The students are now a gangster, what's the use of staying in the capital?"
He Liu stretched out a finger.
Chen Yiguan was puzzled: "Teacher, what do you mean?"
He Liu said loudly: "One month, Zhang Jing can jump around for at most one month!"
After saying that, He Liu turned around and changed to his official sedan chair.
Chen Yiguan looked at He Liu's hunched back and suddenly thought of a sentence: Although the lion is old, it can still roar!
The coachman asked Chen Yiguan: "Master, let's continue on the way?"
Chen Yiguan said firmly: "No. I won't go to Zhejiang. I will return to the capital."
Chen Yiguan believed that since Master Liu could tell the one-month period, he would be sure to overthrow Zhang Jing.
He Liu sat in the official sedan chair and returned home. Luo Sigong, the North Punishment envoy, was waiting there.
He Liu smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
Luo Sigong said angrily: "I'm here to complain to you all the time."
He Liu smiled and said, "Has Zhang Jing been angry with you again?"
Luo Sigong replied: "He is not just giving his disciple a popularity? Do you know that Zhang Jing has a younger brother named Zhang Xun?"
He Liu thought for a while and said, "This Zhang Xun seems to be a pawnshop?"
Luo Sigong nodded: "That's right! A stinky pawn shop was actually inserted into our Jinyiwei by Zhang Jing, as the commander! He was ranked above the southern and northern governors! As soon as he took office, he commanded all the brothers in the robes like they were using cows and horses. All the brothers hated him so much that they were itchy."
He Liu said seriously: "Si Gong, be patient. Only by being patient can ordinary people not endure it can you achieve great things."
Luo Sigong said: "Master, can you think of a quick trick to be Zhang Jing? Otherwise, my disciple will find a few reliable brothers and secretly call Zhang Jing..."
Speaking of this, Luo Sigong made a throat-cutting gesture.
He Liu shook his head: "No! I will kill Zhang Jing in this life. And I will kill him openly! Besides, he is now in power, with countless servants and guards around him. He is not sure of successfully assassinating him."
Luo Sigong said, "Master, I have a few words that I may not listen to. Now Zhang Jing monopolizes the power of military and political affairs. You, the Secretary of the Rongzheng, is a Secretary of the Party. I heard that the generals of the three camps are not very convinced. You are even less sure if you want to kill him openly."
He Liu smiled and said, "Why, don't you trust the master?"
Luo Sigong hurriedly bowed: "Master, I don't mean that."
He Liudao: "I said something to Chen Yiguan an hour ago. Now, I want to say this to you again: One month, Zhang Jing can jump around for at most for a month."
Luo Sigong said: "Master, are you already confident?"
He Liu said with his fingers: "Starting from the Jiajing Dynasty, Yan Song and his son, Lu Fang, Chen Hong, Meng Chong, Zhang Siwei... Which of those powerful traitors are the opponents of their masters? Zhang Jing is just a brainless idiot. If I can't even get rid of idiots like him, I will be a Jinyiwei for fifty-six years."
He Liu's words gave Luo Sigong a reassurance. Luo Sigong said, "If you have these words from the master, you will feel relieved."
He Liu changed the topic: "What I am worried about now is not Zhang Jing. But the King and Luo Zhifen in the Jinyiwei. Remember, you and Wang Zhizhen are always brothers of the same school. What can you not be discussed? Never tear your face apart, as powerful as water and fire. The Jinyiwei is not afraid of any sinister enemies, but only fears internal fighting."
Luo Sigong said with a quarrel: "Master, apprentice respect your old teachings."
He Liudao: "Forget it. I have already said it, it is your own business to listen to it or not. You go."
