Chapter 887: The Love Storm (Part 2)

"Students dare not do anything." Wu Zhongxing did not dare to face Zhang Juzheng's anger, and lowered his head and plucked up his courage: "I just thought it was inappropriate for the emperor to take over the relationship and resume the teacher. In order to protect the teacher's reputation, he dared to submit a memorial and asked the teacher's minister not to misunderstand it." After that, he bowed and left, leaving only Zhang Juzheng there, and was so angry that he couldn't get enough time.

After Wu Zhongxing submitted a memorial, Zhao Yongxian was afraid that it would change later, so he also submitted a memorial the next day. Compared with the former memorial, his words were extremely impolite, and the accusation was more obvious: He said that he had blamed Juezheng for several years and could be loyal to him for several years, but he could not fulfill his father and son's feelings for a few days. I also blamed Juezheng for his merits for several years, but Your Majesty suddenly defeated him! The country set up a censorship and used judicial discipline to correct the responsibilities, but Zeng Shichu and Chen Sanmo actually asked him to stay as auxiliary ministers. In fact, he violated the public's arguments and favored his personal feelings, contempt human nature and created different opinions. I was foolish and afraid that morale would be lost, and the country would be wrong..."

Once these two memorials were published, Zhang Juzheng completely collapsed. Since the founding of this dynasty, writing a letter to curse has become an enduring main theme. There is no role in the court, from emperor to prime minister, from minister to doctor, from prefect to county magistrate, there is no role to avoid "spraying". In this way, you scold me and I scold you, and everyone scolds each other for two hundred years. Basically, everyone has scolded everyone who can scold them. If you want to innovate, it has become an impossible task.

However, Zhao Yongxian and Wu Zhongxing did it, and they will be famous and criticized for a long time! Because they broke a precedent that no one has broken for more than two hundred years - to scold their own teachers!

In the Ming Dynasty, what kind of relationship is the most solid? I believe many people will say that of course it is the relationship between the monarch and the ministers. Is it natural to be loyal to the emperor and the country? But this is wrong. There is never any relationship between the ministers and the emperor of this dynasty. The indifference and distantness between the monarch and the ministers is shockingly cold.

It has to be admitted that it is really bad for the descendants of the Zhu family to be emperors. First of all, from the root, Zhu Chongba is the poorest among the emperors of all dynasties... Liu Bang was born in a small landlord family and was a civil servant himself. However, Chongba Ge was an unemployed farmer with a broken family and a man. He worked as a monk and a beggar. Although the hero did not ask the source, once there was a problem with the hero's descendants, someone would immediately use the theory of bloodline to find problems from the root.

In addition, because of the tragedy of childhood, Zhu Yuanzhang hated officials the most. He not only let them receive the most meager salary in history, but also used the most severe criminal law in history to deal with them. He peeled the skin and added grass when embezzled ten taels, and uprooted them at any time. Even because there were not enough officials, some of the lesser-dealed crimes were not allowed to wear shackles, and the officials in the hall also wore shackles, which made scholars' gentleness wipe out the floor. Not to mention the court stick he invented, he took off the officials' pants and spanked them at any time. It can be said that since Qin Shihuang burned books and buryed scholars, scholars had not been so miserable in the peaceful years. How could you let the scholars and officials be so happy?

You should know that there is no love in this world for no reason. The Song Dynasty has been nurtured for three hundred years, and the kings of all dynasties treat scholars wholeheartedly and kindly, which led to the heroic deeds of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the 100,000 scholars who died in the sea and buried the country with their country, will definitely not repeat this dynasty.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang only took a small part of the responsibility. Most of the responsibility was to fall on the source of the imperial system today. The Chengzu Zhu Di, who robbed his nephew's throne. Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, and the righteousness of the monarch and ministers had been decided. Even if Zhu Di succeeded by luck, he was destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame of "the thief of Yan was usurping the rebellion". Because this was not a "Zhu family matter", it was a crime from the superiors and treason for the superiors, traitors and tyranny of the ministers and killing the king. Loyalty and righteousness are the first, and heroes are not judged by success or failure. This is the value in the bones of the Chinese.

In people's hearts, traitors were killed by everyone! Therefore, when Zhu Di usurped the country, so many scholars opposed him. In order to block the crowd, Zhu Di started killing all the most sincere loyal ministers. Yao Guangxiao once told Zhu Di that Fang Xiaoru was the seed of Chinese scholars and must not be killed.

Zhu Di did not understand what Yao Guangxiao meant. It was not that if he killed Fang Xiaoru, there would be no scholars in China, but that he would kill Fang Xiaoru, and there would be no scholars like him in China! Emperors of all dynasties did not kill loyal ministers in the previous dynasty just to preserve the seeds of loyalty. Zhu Di not only killed Fang Xiaoru, but also destroyed his ten clans, and it would never be possible to win the loyalty of scholars.

Later scholars still had to serve him, but this was not that Zhu Di won their hearts again, but that scholars learned literature and martial arts and could only use goods to the emperor's family, and there was no part of the world, so naturally they could only pinch their noses for him. However, even if it was not for themselves, the scholars and officials who came out to serve the country only had the idea of ​​serving the country, but had no loyalty to the emperor.

Moreover, the selection of scholars in this dynasty, from provincial examinations to court examinations, and then from political candidates, is extremely strict. Although this has doubled the value of officials and cherished their own identity, objectively, it has brought the concept that "fame and fame are the ones that they have experienced through 9981 hurdles and have worked hard to earn" in the consciousness of scholars and officials.

This is like in later schools, some teachers complained that although those students with excellent grades during school were highly valued and loved by teachers, they often had indifferent to their teachers' kindness after graduation. Because they believed that their grades were obtained by personal intelligence and diligence, and the teachers had little credit; on the contrary, those students with poor grades at school regretted that they did not study hard, while also grateful for the education they gave to them.

Although times are different, human nature will not change. The scholars and officials also believe that being able to stand out and get a salary is a reward for their ten years of hard work and intelligence, and will not be grateful to the emperor who provided them with official positions. Their principles are very domineering. You need someone to govern the country, and who do not need us, the best talents? Just like when you are the boss, I work for you, I will fire you if you are unhappy, and of course you can also fire me, and that's all for everyone's relationship.

Of course, time is the best medicine to heal scars, and the same is true for the relationship between the monarch and ministers. Although the descendants of the Zhu family were not wise enough, they were mostly incompetent emperors in later generations, but they were better because they were generous enough and respectful to scholars. Only then did they warm people's hearts little by little. However, Yingzong killed Yu Qian, swept away the loyalty accumulated by Renzong Xuanzong, and the court stick of Wuzong Shizong, swept away the loyalty accumulated by Xianzong Xiaozong!

Yang Shen shouted at Zuoshunmen that the country has raised scholars for 150 years, and the day of death for justice is today! It is from the beginning of Chengzu. And the "succession and succession" they fought for was the loyalty to Emperor Xiaozong!

It is Zuoshunmen that has brought enemies to the opposition between the monarch and his subjects. As long as you scold the emperor, no matter whether it is right or wrong, you will gain the sympathy of public opinion and become famous. If you make the emperor angry and serve the court, then congratulations will immediately become famous all over the world and become an idol for everyone. The literati and officials even regard criticizing the dragon scale as a great opportunity to show their integrity and integrity. Their abacus is well-known, and as long as they can survive under the court, they will immediately become national idols. Even if they have a status in this life, they can win the reputation of sacrificing their lives and becoming famous for their eternity for generations.

This extremely abnormal relationship between the monarch and the ministers caused Emperor Longqing to suffer a lot. Although he was trying to ease the conflicts as much as possible, he could do it one or two, and the monarch and the ministers had become strangers and would only go further and further away. In the end, it would be impossible for him to be harmonious with the monarch and the monarch and the ministers to get along with each other.

But there is a difference between teachers and students. Over the past two hundred years, countless "just people" have cursed the powerful people in the court, but they never dared to attack their teachers. Even if their teacher is Xu Youzhen and Yan Song, they can only pinch their noses and recognize them. If others scold him, they have to help refute them.

Some people are surprised that this so-called teacher-student relationship is just a paper review, but it is just a random point. How can it become "a teacher for one day and a father for life"? After all, it is still impossible to escape the word "interest". The career is dangerous and it is not easy to survive. If you want to get along well, you cannot do without the word "relationship". The official relationship network of this dynasty includes fellow townsmen, fellow classmates, and teachers and students. These three relationships have a common feature, that is, win-win.

The first two are not mentioned, just talk about the relationship between teachers and students. This kind of official ethics of teachers and students like fathers and sons is related to the interests of everyone, and everyone needs it to maintain this relationship... The foundation of a new official is unstable, and he can only rise faster than others by leaning on a big tree to enjoy the cool air, and he can also be easily promoted if something happens. The official also needs to establish his own power. When fighting in the court, he needs a front-line horse who charges in the battle; after resigning, he still needs to be protected by his disciples to avoid being liquidated by his political enemies and spend his old age in peace.

So Ge Lao Yan once said that in the officialdom, raising a son cannot prevent him from growing old. If you want to retire peacefully, you can only rely on your disciples!

It is precisely because of this unspoken rule that the relationship between teachers and students is so unbreakable. If anyone dares to take the lead and violates the teacher, he will inevitably be despised by the entire officialdom, and for nothing else, he will violate the rules for him. If this bad hole is made, then the network of relationships that everyone has worked hard to build will have cracks.

So there were so many unspeakable conflicts between Mr. Xu and Shen Mo back then, but they were limited to behind-the-scenes action. On the surface, the two always maintained a friendly relationship between a teacher, a kind disciple and a filial piety.

It is in such a society where masters and apprentices are like father and son that Zhang Juzheng was sued by his own students! For whom students sued the teacher, it is definitely a shameful thing. The first student sued the teacher in the Ming Dynasty happened to Zhang Juzheng, so how could he have the face to stay in the officialdom?

Zhang Juzheng felt a great insult and was deeply saddened by Shi Lin's misunderstanding of him. Now, he no longer has the face to stay anymore. On that day, he published another "Commentary on Begging for Grace and Preservation" which was different from the previous one's concealment and wanted to leave. This time he had a very firm attitude and a very earnest speech, and even said, "Please go and thank the world for thanking the criminals."

However, the young emperor could not understand Zhang Juzheng's mood, and he immediately issued an order to comfort him. Moreover, his words were a little unhappy, as if he had refusal to Zhang Juzheng and had become dissatisfied with him. This made Zhang Juzheng completely confused. He found that due to his initial indecision, he was now in a difficult position. His destiny was no longer determined by himself, but depends on the result of the struggle between the emperor and the ministers...

The ministers would not understand his state of mind. The day after Zhao Yongxian submitted a memorial, Shen Sixiao and a head of the Ministry of Justice named Ai Mu jointly submitted a memorial... If the memorials of the two disciples left him some face, then this blow would completely tear the face. They said: "If Zhang Juzheng stayed, he would be a shameless person. When encountering a national ceremony, should he participate or not? If he doesn't participate, he will be in harmony with the monarch and ministers; if he participates, he will be in harmony with the father and son. At that time, he will not know why Your Majesty is in a righteous place, and how can he deal with himself? Your Majesty wants to keep Zhang Juzheng, and he will always say that for the sake of the country, so the country is important. Lord Yuan Fu is the manifestation of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule of the rule

They also severely accused Zhang Juzheng of violating morality and "a great minister, but not practicing the integrity of ordinary men"; they said that he was abusing power was no different from the "prime minister and emperor"; they said that his behavior was similar to Shang Yang and Wang Anshi, but his morality and talent were far inferior, and they said that he was "stubborn and misleading the country, bewitching the eunuchs and deceiving the king"... All these things, without any mercy, were to criticize Zhang Juzheng and would no longer have the shame to benefit the court.

Moreover, Aimu's identity was very fatal. He was a fellow villager of Jiangling of Zhang Juzheng. Although he was a juren, he was a famous scholar all over the world. This person also submitted a memorial, which represented Zhang Juzheng's fellow countrymen and Shilin all rose up to oppose him.

Faced with the surging opposition, the Tian family's mother and son in the Ganqing Palace were panicked. Wanli saw that his worries became reality and were more serious than expected. He complained to his mother in his heart, but he did not dare to say it. He could only discuss the matter: "The public opinion is raging. Queen Mother, what should we do?"

"The emperor's words are golden rules, but those ministers do not take them seriously at all." Empress Dowager Li raised her eyebrows and clenched the rosary in her hand and said, "This is bullying our orphans and widows! Jun'er, if you are suppressed by them this time, you will always have to bow your head in the future. So you must go all the way to the dark, and the last one will bow your head must be those ministers." As she said that, she remembered the annoying past, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and said, "Don't keep the kindness of a woman!"
