Later, Longqing, the useless emperor, became simply a decoration. He threw all the power of the cabinet, military power, and financial power to this group of thieves with Shanxi merchants and Puzhou people as the core.
What is this?
Shen Lie sneered again and again. He felt that this story looked familiar, Gao Gong, the gang leader and the peaceful Shanxi merchants and bureaucrats.
Isn't this the Ming Dynasty version of the Qin Hui Group?
This group of people...
Why didn't he remain infamy for thousands of years, and why did he become an imperial merchant of the Qing Dynasty?
Think carefully.
This matter is a bit subtle.
"Master Long Qing."
Shen Lie sighed quietly.
Look at what you have done. Although your father, Mr. Jiajing, was indeed a bit dim in his later years and often became suspicious.
Don't trust anyone.
To scare you in different ways.
Test you.
It makes you feel uncomfortable sleeping every day.
But after all, he is also a hero of his generation!
Look at you, Mr. Longqing. You have no moral integrity as an emperor to guard the country. You will pee when you are frightened by the Tatars. You can even do such stupid things as peace talks.
Such a bastard and useless Emperor Longqing was actually beautified in the history of the Ming Dynasty, saying that he was a wise king...
Of course.
It's clear when you look at the things Mr. Long Qing did.
After this incident.
Zhang Siwei won the respect of Gao Gong and was soon promoted to the position of left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Gao Gong wanted to further recruit Zhang Siwei into the cabinet.
As a result, Yin Shidanqu entered the cabinet first.
So the party struggle began.
Later, Zhang Siwei's father was impeached by the imperial censor because he was good at salt management, and a group of people attacked him.
Gao Gong suspected that he was related to Yin Shidan, so he ordered his subordinates to impeach Yin Shidan. Yin Shidan was not willing to show weakness and fought against Gao Gong in the cabinet.
Under pressure.
Zhang Siwei had no choice but to resign and return home.
It was not until the sixth year of Longqing that Gao Gong finally seized the opportunity to re-enable Zhang Siwei and appointed him as the official of the East Palace, in charge of government affairs and educating the common people.
From then on, he and Zhang Juzheng became ministers in the same court.
But why did Gao Gong spare no effort to promote Zhang Siwei?
It turns out that Zhang Siwei had an uncle named Wang Chonggu and a relative from the same village named Yang Bo, who was the Minister of War in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Bo's daughter-in-law was Zhang Siwei's cousin.
Zhang Siwei's two sons married Yang Bo's two granddaughters respectively, and Yang Bo's son married Wang Chonggu's daughter.
The relationship between the three people can be described as a symbiotic relationship, with each suffering loss and prosperity.
finally.
Shen Lie figured out the root cause of the rapid transition from prosperity to extreme decline.
It was this group of bureaucrats and businessmen from Puzhou, Shanxi, who took advantage of Emperor Longqing's weakness and incompetence and easily stole the power of the entire dynasty!
Later.
Zhang Juzheng defeated Gao Gong and became the chief minister. He ignored Zhang Siwei and even trusted Zhang Siwei. Zhang Juzheng naturally had no selfish motives.
He single-handedly cultivated Zhang Siwei.
But……
Shen Lie once again thought about it, searching through his limited historical knowledge. In the history he knew, who was the instigator of Zhang Juzheng's liquidation after his death?
It seems that the history of the Ming Dynasty is unclear.
No one can tell clearly.
Obviously this period of history has been artificially erased, so the question arises, who has the ability to turn the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng into an unsolved case in the history of the Ming Dynasty compiled by the Qing court.
What are these people afraid of?
Who is the mastermind behind the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng? Is it really Wanli who wants to liquidate his teacher? Then who abolished the New Deal and who...
Dig out Zhang Juzheng and whip his corpse?
suddenly.
Shen Lie figured it out, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He could finally understand the ups and downs of the government and the public during these ten years of Wanli.
Who is the real villain?
pretty close.
It's him!
Shen Lie put down the file and murmured to himself: "Zhang Siwei, Mr. Zhang Ge... you hide it really deep."
At this moment, Shen Lie shuddered. He felt that Zhang Siwei was really terrible. With such a city, such forbearance, and such superb acting skills,
This person has been holding back for more than ten years. For more than ten years, this person has been pretending to be a grandson in front of Zhang Juzheng and a good person in front of everyone in the world.
Relying on the extraordinary city government, he deceived Zhang Juzheng and deceived everyone in the world, and he was actually sneaked into the position of acting chief minister!
Just one step away.
This person can control the power of the world!
"Good acting skills, good city."
Shen Lie felt ashamed.
What a treacherous and evil person!
Shen Lie sneered again and again, thinking about whether Mr. Zhang had this imperial court in his heart.
Is there such a world?
Presumably not at all, not at all.
at this time.
Feng Bao and Zhang Jianxiu, who were sitting next to them, looked puzzled and asked: "You...are you thinking of something else?"
A close relative of Daishoufu's family planned this grand scene of burning the granary. This thing itself is already very shocking, so don't be surprised anymore.
Shen Lie looked at Zhang Jianxiu.
I was speechless for a moment.
Where should I start with this? What if he said that Zhang Siwei, Zhang Ge Lao, your father's successor, suddenly turned ruthless after your father's death?
Not only did this guy overthrow all the New Deal implemented by your father, he was even ungrateful and brutally attacked your family.
Let your Lao Zhang family die and become disabled...
Does anyone believe this?
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Shen Lie chose to lower his head, swallowing the words as they reached his lips, burying this huge secret deep in his heart.
And my heart became heavy.
The future has become extremely dangerous again.
a long time.
Shen Lie raised his head and said solemnly: "Can we arrest someone?"
The top priority is to solve the problem of these grain dealers driving up grain prices. Shen Lie's idea is to arrest the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Get tortured.
Maybe I can ask something.
"cannot."
Zhang Jianxiu muttered: "You must have a warrant to arrest someone."
Shen Lie was slightly shocked, and after asking carefully, he realized that he had been deceived by false history again. It turned out that the Jin Yiwei could not arrest officials casually.
Before arresting someone, you must first obtain a driving warrant. The so-called driving warrant is an arrest warrant, which is signed by the Jinyi Guards. However, it must be signed and stamped by the emperor himself, and must also be stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Punishment.
Only the emperor and the Ministry of Punishment agree to arrest someone.
"this."
Shen Lie was speechless again.
Cursing in my heart, I promised that the factory guard hawks and dogs are omnipotent and can catch whoever they want. Is it so difficult for the factory guard to catch the minister first?
Is this sentence about the history of the Ming Dynasty true?
aside.
Is it possible for Zhang Jian Xiuwei to say: "With a dishonest name and unreasonable words, we want to arrest a head of the Household Department just because of the burns on his arms. Even if we can convince His Majesty... I'm afraid we won't be able to pass the punishment department."
Shen Lie was speechless.
Is there such a thing?
The room became silent again, Shen Lie weighed in his mind, now relying on the power of factory guards and an inner court, he wanted to compete with acting chief assistant Zhang Siwei.
It's a bit difficult to catch his cronies.
No chance at all!
This moment.
Shen Lie deeply understood the helplessness of the young emperor in this era of Wanli Ten Years. He felt as if he had entered a dead end and was entangled in a spider web.
I simply couldn't move.
Thinking deeply.
Shen Lie's eyes gradually became brighter, he looked at Feng Bao and Zhang Jianxiu, and said softly: "Shen has a way to deal with these grain merchants."
Feng and Zhang immediately cheered up and listened.
