Chapter 823 Thinking of Zhang Juzheng's Death

"In this way, the relationship between the Sima family and the Demon World is indeed a bit difficult to reconcile."

The Seven Nights Demon Lord is the most outstanding Demon Lord in the Demon Realm. After his death, the Demon Realm was in chaos. It was born to Tianyang that escaped to the Divine Realm and finally stirred up the wind and rain in the Divine Realm.

Therefore, many people in the Demon World worship Qiye. At that time, Qiye ordered the Sima family to be dealt with, and no one dared to disobey this.

"Okay, monitor the Sima family's every move. Remember not to let them discover it, go down."

With the order of Liang Xu, the person standing beside him slowly disappeared in front of him. This was a secret force in his hand, and few people knew about it.

They are specifically responsible for inquiring about information and so on, which is a bit similar to the Jinyiwei. There are many such people in the Sima family, and even Sima Heng doesn't know that there are such people around him.

"You don't even believe your father-in-law's house?"

Three eyes looked at Liang Xu and felt that his work was a bit unauthentic, so he actually arranged someone secretly around him.

"You don't understand this, Brother Sanyan. After all, the Sima family was a member of the Demon World before, so you have to consider it carefully. After all, I am not alone now, so I can't be so casual. Do you understand what I said?"

The era when one person eats his whole family is not hungry has passed. He is now the young master of the divine realm, and some things must be done even more.

Although this is a bit cold, the Han family is much better than the Han family crying.

If there is really a problem, it is not just a problem with one family, but a problem with multiple families in the Divine Realm.

It is better to cry from a hundred families than a family. This is the reason, so Liang Xu distinguished this matter very clearly. Maybe there was no problem with the Sima family, but Liang Xu dared not bet like this, nor could he bet like this.

After all, this matter concerns everyone's wealth and life, he cannot bet or dares to bet.

He now discovered why some emperors changed their temperaments after becoming emperors, because there were so many things they needed to consider, which also led to the fact that they did not only for themselves but also for their comprehensive consideration.

"I understand that the ancestor of the Sima family is actually very similar to a man named Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty outside, but he is miserable than Zhang Juzheng. Anyway, the ancestor of the Sima family was once the teacher of Qiye, and Qiye actually uprooted their family."

Sanyan has read a lot of historical books and actually knows Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty, but Liang Xu believes that he only has a slight understanding.

"Come on, Brother Sanyan, do you know why Zhang Juzheng was liquidated after his death? There is a certain reason, and it is completely different from the Sima family."

"Why is there anything different?" Sanyan was interested in history and suddenly became energetic when he heard Liang Xu say this.

"Okay, I'll make it popular for you, so I can walk along and say it."

In June of the tenth year of Wanli (1582), Zhang Juzheng, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty and the chief minister of the powerful cabinet of the Wanli Dynasty, died of illness. Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was very sad and issued an order to bury the Ming Dynasty's chief minister who worked hard for the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, he was given a sacrifice to the nine altars and a gift to the Shangzhu Kingdom. He was posthumously named "Wenzhong" and ordered the senior officials of the Jinyiwei and the eunuchs of the Silijian to be buried. The specifications were not low. Even in the Ming Dynasty, only Zhang Juzheng was given this treatment.

Zhang Juzheng was born in Zhuguo and was posthumously named Wenzhong. Zhang Juzheng reached the highest peak of civil servants in all dynasties. During his lifetime, he was the Grand Tutor of Zuo Zhuguo, and his descendants were the officials. No one in the court could match. I wonder how many people envied and jealous. He assisted Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun ascended the throne and worked diligently to govern the Ming Dynasty. He worked hard. When Emperor Wanli and Empress Dowager usually called him Yuanfu or Mr. Zhang when they talked with Zhang Juzheng, they expressed respect.

The plaques given by Emperor Wanli in Zhang Juzheng's home were all written by the emperor himself, "You are salt plums" and "You are a boat and oar", etc., and praised Zhang Juzheng very much. On the eve of Zhang Juzheng's death, the title "Taishi Mr. Zhang Taiyue" raised by Emperor Wanli showed how much favor the emperor had for Zhang Juzheng reached. This period of opportunity for the monarch and minister can be a beautiful story for the eternal period.

The Fourth Heavenly Dynasty Bureau changed after Zhang Juzheng's death. Pan Sheng, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace and the Minister of Rites recommended by Zhang Juzheng, was impeached by seven censors including Censor Lei Shijian, and was dismissed from office by Emperor Wanli. This was not a sudden incident, only premeditated. This person was recommended to the cabinet during Zhang Juzheng's lifetime. His resignation marked the end of the Zhang Juzheng era.

This was just the first wave. Soon, Zhang Juzheng's old comrade-in-arms Feng Bao also fell, and a storm began to come! Some people began to impeach Wang Zhuan, who once followed us from Zhang Juzheng's faction and impeached Zhang Juzheng. In December of the tenth year of Wanli (1852), the censor Yang Sizhi wrote a letter to impeach Zhang Juzheng's 14 serious crimes, including bullying the lord and taking over power and establishing the party. Therefore, Emperor Wanli ordered Zhang Juzheng's family to be confiscated, and his palace ranks were cut off, and he forced the seals and letters given during his lifetime. Four generations of imperial edicts were made to show the world. Moreover, Zhang Juzheng was almost whipped by a coffin. His family members were either starved to death or exiled.

The emperor suspected that Juzheng had a lot of accumulation, which made him more beautiful. The censor impeached Zhuan, and impeached Juzheng, and Zhuan, and both offended Juzheng. The new advancers were more concerned about attacking Juzheng. The imperial edict seized Shangzhuguo and Taishi, and then seized posthumous titles. Juzheng and others quoted Juzheng were all deposed. At this time, only six months after Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Juzheng fell from the sky to the ground, and changed from the emperor's "Yuanfu Taiyue Zhang" to a villain who "harmed power and disorderly government". There are three main reasons why the change is so great. First, he was removed from Zhang Juzheng's transformation, second, Emperor Wanli was more greedy for money. Third, he stabilized the court.

1. Go to Zhang Juzhenghua

Although Zhang Juzheng assisted the young Zhu Yijun, who was also Emperor Wanli, he did not find the right position for the emperor. Although the emperor was his own student, he was also a monarch, and there was still a distinction between a monarch and a subject. However, Zhang Juzheng did not pay attention to these things, and embarrassed the emperor. There is such a record among them.

Once, when the young emperor Zhu Yijun was reading "The Analects of Confucius", his father misreads "the color is as bright as he is" and "the color is as bright as he is", Zhang Juzheng suddenly said sternly behind his back, treating it as "the boom". Shenzong was frightened and the people around him were shocked. Shenzong has since been afraid of Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng left a shadow on the young emperor. Even if the empress dowager sees the young emperor doing something wrong or disobedient, he will say, "What can I do if Mr. Zhang hears?" At this time, the young emperor became more and more afraid of Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng outside the court controlled the government, and the empress dowager and the eunuch Feng Bao in the palace looked at the young emperor. Zhang Juzheng and the other three formed an alliance, and he had almost no real power.

When he was in power, he found that Zhang Juzheng had no need to do anything and could not do anything. It seemed that Zhang Juzheng was the emperor, and the ministers in the court were all attached to Zhang Juzheng. There was only Zhang Juzheng's voice in the court, and he was driven away by Zhang Juzheng, which was something that no emperor could bear. However, Zhang Juzheng's party members were all over the court, and the emperor had no choice. When the emperor was young, when a eunuch sorted out the books the emperor read, he found that the article Yihuo in the history books was almost broken by the emperor, which shows that the little emperor was afraid of Zhang Juzheng.

After finally Zhang Juzheng passed away from illness, the emperor could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but he found that it was not the case at all. Although Zhang Juzheng was dead, his influence was still there and still existed in this court, and he even had to continue.

"The rest of his power is still there, and the censor reports the matter, and he is called the Grand Tutor of the Master!"

Although Zhang Juzheng was no longer above the court, his influence was still there. The people he promoted were still there. Emperor Wanli attributed these people to Zhang Juzheng's party "Jiangling Party". These people were all promoted by Zhang Juzheng. They can be said to be the incarnation of Zhang Juzheng. Many people are in high positions, such as the Minister of Rites Pan Sheng, the Minister of Personnel Wang Zhuan, and the Right Minister of War Zeng Shengwu, etc., all of them were promoted or recommended by Zhang Juzheng, with a strong seal of Zhang Juzheng and the label of Zhang Juzheng.

Although Zhang Juzheng was dead, they were the living Zhang Juzheng, which made Emperor Wanli very dislike. This country was his country and Zhang Juzheng and others were not allowed to exist. Therefore, he first took Zhang Juzheng's spokesperson and first removed the eunuch Feng Bao, and then took Pan Sheng down. Although someone impeached Wang Zhuan and Zeng Shengwu, all of these people were dismissed from office. According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, the citations of Juzheng were deposed. After such a cleanup, Wanli

Finally, he took over the power and completed his words to Zhang Juzheng. No Zhang Juzheng could restrain him anymore. His first goal was completed. Then he began to liquidate many Zhang Juzheng himself, depriving all the honors he gave him before or after his death. The hot commodity turned into stinky dog ​​shit. Zhang Juzheng's eldest son was forced to death. The emperor even wanted to whip Zhang Juzheng's corpse. After all, he was still a contribution to assisting the emperor and could not whip the corpse.

In the record of the Ming Shenzong, Zhang Juzheng made contributions and then his authority was shocked and caused disasters. It can be seen that Emperor Wanli wanted to transform Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty and reduce Zhang Juzheng's influence.

(Zhang Juzheng) is very smart and intelligent, and has many wisdom. When he praises the government, he resolutely has the ambition to be a solemn. When he was suspicious of the king, he became the chief assistant, took charge of major policies, and persuaded the emperor to obey the laws of his ancestors. He also listened carefully. Within ten years, the residences (inside the country) were cleaned up, the four barbarians were subdued, and the grain of Taicang could be spent for several years, and the temple had accumulated more than four million yuan, which made the king's virtue, suppressed the recent luck, strictly examined the examinations, comprehensively verified the name and reality, cleared the posts, verified the land, and inquired about the talents of the economy. Unfortunately, his bias was often taboo, and he was easy to make money, and he controlled the censors and trusted the slander. Only when he was favored and seized the love, his roots were already broken. Authority shocked the master, and the disaster was incurred. Why is it that he died soon, and he was killed and humiliated."

2. Emperor Wanli is more greedy

The emperor could be short of money. In fact, Emperor Wanli was really short of money. The inner treasury was very short of money. His younger brother, King Lu, wanted to get married and even wanted to take advantage of the vassal. All these required money. The emperor was waiting for money to buy rice and put it into the pot. This man could do anything poor. Before that, Emperor Wanli had already tasted the sweetness and got a lot of money when he was copying Feng Bao's family.

At that time, he came back and heard that the two of them had a relationship and said that their treasures were beyond the Heavenly Mansion. The emperor was moved. The left and right also said that Bao had committed evil, and the four-dimensional censor Li Zhiji discussed the crimes of Xu Jue and Bao committing adultery. The emperor enforced Bao and arrested Jue and imprisoned him. He was exiled to the imperial prison in Nanjing, and all his family had a huge amount of gold, silver, and jewelry. At that time, Feng Bao and Zhang Juezheng and Empress Dowager Li were the three horses of the Ming Dynasty. The Empress Dowager Li said that Feng Bao had huge sums of money. Zhang Juezheng had no money? After confiscating Feng Bao's family with so much money, Zhang Juezheng could only be more than him. And he wanted to come. At that time, a censor named Yang Keli wrote a letter saying, "I have been the Grand Secretary Zhang Juezhengyin occupied the land of the Liao Mansion and asked for strict investigation." Moreover, the Princess of Liao also said that all the money in their family was in Zhang Juezheng's pocket at that time.

The censor Yang Keli re-chased the crime of Juzheng, saying that Juzheng was in charge of the Liao common people's Xianjie Prison. The common people's concubine submitted a memorial to argue with the wrongdoers and said, "The common people's gold and treasures are all in the main." It would be easy to deal with if they say it is precise. You are greedy for this money and should not be given to you. It should belong to my emperor. So Emperor Wanli asked the Jinyiwei to confiscate Zhang Juzheng's house, which made the messy and finally got how much money did he get from Zhang Juzheng's house? He got 10,000 taels of gold and more than 100,000 taels of platinum. He was not satisfied with this. At that time, he wanted to ask the Zhang family to confess to the outside world. His eldest son finally said that there was 300,000 gold and 100,000 taels of platinum. He was not satisfied with this. At that time, he wanted to ask the Zhang family to confess and have the silver outside. His eldest son finally said that there was 300,000 gold in Zeng Shengwu, which led to Zeng Shengwu being beaten to death.

He got ten thousand taels of gold and more than ten thousand taels of platinum. His eldest son, Jing Xiu, the head of the Ministry of Rites, failed to defeat the punishment. He falsely surrendered and sent 300,000 gold to Yu Shengwu, Zhuan and Fu Zuozhou, and then hanged himself. The money was finally entered the inner treasury of Emperor Wanli, saying that Emperor Wanli was greedy for money, saying that Emperor Wanli confiscated his house for money, and said that whenever I gave the treasures of the house to the emperor, he was very happy.

"The Supreme Call me a Son, and I'll be happy every time I see you and play with you."

In the later period, Guangwan sent mining taxes to the country to extort evidence. Mr. Meng Sen pointed out: "The strange goods of the emperor are from the emperor who are like those of the emperor." Therefore, Emperor Wanli is rare among emperors. He got a lot of money from Feng Bao and thought he could get a considerable amount of expenses from Zhang Juzheng, so he confiscated Zhang Juzheng's home. These are all over the place. After all, you are dead, so I am afraid that you will do what you do.

Three, stable the dynasty

What does stabilizing the court has to do with the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng? It has something to do with it, and it has a big relationship! When Zhang Juzheng was the chief minister, the cabinet had become the actual administrative center. The six ministries completely bowed to him. Zhang Juzheng, who dared to violate Zhang Juzheng, was dismissed from office. Now that Zhang Juzheng is dead, these people have begun to re-introduce the old accounts, and no one like Zhang Juzheng. In order to stabilize the court, Emperor Wanli must do something. On the one hand, he can shock those who are determined to follow Zhang Juzheng, and on the other hand, those who were once dismissed from office because of Zhang Juzheng were grateful to Emperor Wanli, so that the government will be completely stabilized. This is also a kind of emperor's mind. These were what Zhang Juzheng taught Wanli at the beginning, but they could not have used it on Zhang Juzheng himself.

After Emperor Wanli confiscated Zhang Juzheng's home, Zhang Juzheng's crime was completely settled.

"Zhang Juzheng slandered his relatives, slandered the censors, and blocked my conspiracy. He occupied and abandoned the land of Liao, used measurements to cover up the country, and disturbed the country. He was a tyrannical government, and did not bear the grace of his superiors, and was unfaithful to the country. He should have chopped coffins and corpses, and thought that he would serve for a year, so he would be spared the law. He belonged to Zhang Juyi, Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Shun, and Zhang Shu, and all ordered the smoky and smoky ground to be filled with troops."

This Ming Dynasty reformer, the chief minister who delayed the demise of the Ming Dynasty, was finally appointed as a criminal minister by his student emperor, and became a stinking dog shit. In the second year of Tianqi (1622), Emperor Tianqi restored his official position to Zhang Juzheng. However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was in decline. Emperor Wanli also died thirty-six years after the liquidation of his teacher, leaving behind a bunch of messes in the Ming Dynasty. Some even said that the dynasty was destroyed in Wanli.
