Chapter 20 Core Interests
"It's the matter between Warriors Camp and Four Guards Camp!" You Qi didn't know what was happening in the palace, and he was a little angry when he said that. Zhang Jing was showing off or demonstrating to his master. You Qi naturally lost his affection for Zhang Jing.
Zhang Juzheng naturally heard what You Qi meant, reached out and tapped the table, and said with a wry smile: "Zhang Jing is also involuntarily!"
You Qi was stunned, and Zhang Jing couldn't help but start. Where did you start?
Zhang Juzheng did not continue to talk about this matter, and he could probably understand what was going on. His emperor student wanted to go back to the Warriors Camp and the Four Guards. It was obvious that he had worked hard to choose Yu Dayou as the head of the camp.
At this moment, Zhang Juzheng also realized that his student had grown up and wanted to reach out to get some things back.
However, Zhang Juzheng did not expect his students to be so decisive. As soon as he started to investigate Yu Dayou, he was exposed.
Now the problem is in front of Zhang Juzheng. Should I continue to hold it tightly or let go at the right time? After pondering for a moment, Zhang Juzheng smiled and said directly to You Qi: "Tell Zhang Jing, I agree."
The Warriors Camp and the Four Guards Camp were originally imperial guards in the palace. It was all the matter of the emperor's words. There was no room for negotiation or refutation on this matter, so Zhang Juzheng did not choose to fight head-on.
After dinner, Zhang Juzheng stood at the door of the study, with a hint of fatigue on his face, and at the same time he felt a little nervous.
Zhang Juzheng knew that his future path would be difficult. The reform he wanted to do would require more and greater power. If his emperor students really wanted to retain power, could he continue to do these things?
Now the memorials are approved by themselves. Will the emperor student who has his own power want to take back?
In the Ming Dynasty, no matter if you can hold this power, you will naturally be able to dominate the government and the people. This is the case with eunuchs such as Wei Zhongxian, but they were the emperor who allowed them to approve it on their behalf, but Zhang Juzheng was different.
Zhang Juzheng's approval was captured by him. The emperor was still young, so the power fell into Zhang Juzheng's hands.
Now that the emperor has grown up, if he wants to get the power to personally approve the memorial, he must take it back from Zhang Juzheng. Once he loses the power to approve on his behalf, Zhang Juzheng will naturally lose his current power.
You should know that although there are only four words for approval on behalf of others, it is to perform imperial power on behalf of others. The thing after approval is the imperial edict!
No emperor wants to have someone exert imperial power on behalf of others, especially forcing eunuchs to do it. That is when the emperor hides behind and what I want to say is the final word, then I can say the final word, and the eunuchs can't make up for the waves.
But Zhang Juzheng was different. The power of approval was in his hands, which was different from the eunuch. The eunuch was the emperor's slave, Zhang Juzheng was the head of the civil minister, and he was the chief minister of the cabinet.
Looking into the direction of the palace, Zhang Juzheng wanted to see what his emperor students would do.
Zhu Yijun received the news the next day, and Zhang Juzheng agreed. Zhu Yijun had no expression on his face, but he just nodded lightly, and then said to Zhang Jing: "Let me do it!"
Whether it is a person or a country, he has core interests, important interests and general interests.
The imperial guards in the palace are Zhu Yijun's core interests and a key step in his goal of "using the imperial guards as a springboard to enter the three major camps", so it is an interest that Zhu Yijun must defend, and for this reason he will turn against Empress Dowager Zhang Juzheng and Li.
In fact, Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng had never had a quarrel in history, or they could not make a quarrel at all. It is an unknown which side Empress Dowager Li would stand on. However, Zhu Yijun had guessed that when it was time to turn against each other, it was estimated that the possibility of Empress Dowager Li standing on Emperor Wanli was close to 100%.
This can be seen from Zhang Juzheng's attitude after her death that her son is a son after all.
However, when Zhang Juzheng was alive, Empress Dowager Li felt that she was "spoken with papaya and repaying Qiong Yao". After Longqing's death, when she was an orphan and widowed mother, Zhang Juzheng educated Emperor Wanli to stabilize the court and sent Gao Gong away, leaving a good impression on Empress Dowager Li.
When everything stabilized, Empress Dowager Li supported Zhang Juzheng.
However, Feng Bao died early in this life, and he was not encouraged by him. Empress Dowager Li was still very supportive of Zhang Juzheng, but she lost interest in politics in her previous life. She ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name all day long, and occasionally greeted the people from Wu Qingbo's mansion into the palace. Except for a little lonely, everything else was pretty good.
Zhu Yijun also understood that as long as he didn't let Zhang Juzheng go home now or killed Zhang Juzheng, Empress Dowager Li would not say anything or do anything.
Obviously, Empress Dowager Li was grateful to Zhang Juzheng, but she couldn't count how long this gratitude would last. Moreover, from another aspect, the reason why Empress Dowager Li supported Zhang Juzheng to reform the government was ultimately to preserve the throne of his son Wanli and the Zhu family.
Once Wanli holds the throne and the dynasty overcomes the difficulties, the fate of the ministers who once served the dynasty will naturally be left behind. Moreover, for her, the focus may be on the interests of the royal nobles, and there is no grace at all.
Now he is willing to protect Zhang Juzheng. He also thinks that their mother and son and the Ming Dynasty still need Zhang Juzheng. This kind of thing is too common in history.
Whether out of gratitude or for reasons of consideration for the Ming Dynasty, Empress Dowager Li will not allow Zhu Yijun to touch Zhang Juzheng now.
In fact, Zhu Yijun didn't think about touching Zhang Juzheng. All he wanted to get back is the Four Guards and Warriors Camp. At the same time, he told Zhang Juzheng that he was an adult and that he was the emperor, so he should not treat himself as a child.
You should know that since I ascended the throne, the strongest political storm in the Wanli period is coming, and I have to decide which side to stand on.
Yu Dayou went to the Imperial Horse Supervision quietly. Although this matter is low-key, many people know about it, but it has not attracted much attention from the officialdom. After all, compared to Yu Dayou's affairs, another thing attracts more attention.
That is about clearing the accounting and implementing the one-whip law. The emperor approved the request of Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet.
Taking Fujian as a pilot, the field clearance and a one-whip method are carried out throughout Fujian.
This incident instantly spread to the entire capital, with a huge uproar in public opinion, and the struggle between Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Jing was no longer on the table. Everyone knows that once the pilot starts, it will definitely be promoted nationwide for one or two years at most.
