Chapter 2205

Wenyuan Pavilion in the east of Bauhinia City, the building where the cabinet assistant minister deals with foreign court and state affairs, has almost become the most inconspicuous house in the Forbidden City since Zhang Juzheng became the first assistant, with the most prominent and dazzling era of the Ming Dynasty.

On the surface, the routine administrative process of Daming has not changed, but the decision-making power has been transferred.

The normal process is that ministers write memorials, cabinet ministers draft votes, and the emperor approves red. The power is scattered, but Emperor Wanli has been extremely afraid of his teacher for a long time. Zhang Juzheng hardly dares to object to what he says and what memorials he plays.

All the red batches were completed under the guidance of Feng Bao, who was Zhang Juzheng's most powerful ally.

This has led to the early years of Wanli. From the beginning of Wanli to now, the ministers' memorials and cabinet ministers' votes are planned to be approved by the emperor, and Zhang Juzheng can make a round.

It's not too exaggerated to say that he regarded the emperor as a puppet.

At the moment, in the Wenhua hall, Zhang Juzheng, the three cabinet ministers, is a well deserved boss. Zhang Siwei is an echo. Shen Shixing has hardly had much say and decision-making power shortly after he joined the cabinet.

In the five cabinet ministers in the early years of Wanli, LV tiaoyang and Ma Ziqiang died of illness the year before last.

At the moment, the Forbidden City, regardless of the affairs of the inner court, Zhang Juzheng is the most beautiful old man.

Even at the age of 55, Zhang Juzheng, with white hair and haggard appearance, still holds the greatest power of the Ming Empire.

Today, Zhang Shoufu has been silent for a long time since he arrived at the cabinet near noon and got a memorial from the generals of the outer court. He hasn't gone to work for a long time. It's like sitting in a daze.

The Buddhist nuns of Wenhua hall added tea to Zhang Yuanfu several times and changed several cups of herbal tea. When they realized that Zhang Juzheng was wrong, they left Zhang Juzheng's office and reported the abnormality to Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing.

"Could it be that Yuan Fu has not regained his energy after watching the film in the strange population for a long time last night?" Shen Shixing thought for a moment before opening his mouth in surprise.

In the past, Zhang Juzheng was a workaholic. If he had not been a workaholic, he would not have died of overwork in his post like Zhuge Liang in history.

Like today, from arriving before lunch to staying in a daze for so long after dinner, ignoring political affairs? It's a miracle never seen before.

Shen Shixing is 45 years old. He was promoted from a scholar to a cabinet minister in just 16 years after winning the imperial examination. He can be called the speed of light promotion. At the moment, Shen Ge is also the youngest and most energetic cabinet minister in the cabinet.

Zhang Siwei is not old, one year younger than Zhang Juzheng. He is 54 this year. However, he is not very healthy. There is a lot of depression in his eyebrows. Historically, this is a firm anti reformer. As soon as Zhang Juzheng died, he launched various anti reform measures and wantonly used opposition officials in the DPRK and China to clean up Zhang Juzheng's reform achievements.

From this point, we can see why Zhang Siwei looks bad.

As the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, he is said to be the No. 2 boss of the outer court, but he is actually a voice without power. He has been so angry for many years.

With Shen Shixing's words, Zhang Siwei said to the old God, "Ru Mo, Yuan Fu is in poor health. You'd better go and have a look?"

After thinking, Shen Shixing nodded and walked to Zhang Juzheng's office. When he entered the open study, he saw that Zhang Juzheng was still holding a memorial in a daze, or wandering outside the sky.

Shen Shixing coughed softly, "Yuanfu, Yuanfu?"

Two soft words finally woke Zhang Juzheng up. The big man who was in power for a while recovered his intelligence. He smiled with complex emotions, "it's Ru Mo, I'm fine."

After a pause, he smiled subtly and said, "this is the memorial sent by Qi Shaobao and Qi Yuanjing in Jizhou. I advised the Empress Dowager to abolish the punishment of kneeling to his majesty, so as not to kneel for a long time and hurt his Majesty's dragon body."

"Second, I suggest that I should return the government to your majesty. Although I can't hand over the whole thing for a while, I can... Recommend your Majesty's most appreciated foreign ministers, such as Hai Ruihai Gangfeng as the Minister of the Ministry of officials."

"Ru Mo, what do you think?"

With Zhang Juzheng's words, Shen Shixing was stunned and his brain exploded.

Unbelievable stayed for a few breaths before he began to speak, "Qi Yuanjing, Jizhou?"

Zhang Juzheng is the master in the examination room of shenshixing. He can be promoted from middle school to cabinet minister in just 16 years. He is definitely Zhang's capable student without Zhang Juzheng's strong recommendation and promotion.

Such an identity, of course, knows what Qi Jiguang represents, which is the most powerful representative of Zhang Juzheng's revitalization of the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Qi Jiguang suddenly asked Zhang Yuan to return to his majesty? It's like your most trusted and proud disciple stabbed you with his backhand.

No wonder Zhang Juzheng has been in a daze for so long since he read this memorial before lunch.

For a time, Shen Shixing was shocked and speechless. He didn't know what to say, especially when he thought of Qi Jiguang recommending Hai Gangfeng as the Minister of rites? If the news is to spread, it will definitely cause boiling in the government and the public.

Hairui's power is not ordinary terror. In the third year of Longqing in 1570, Emperor Longqing appointed Hairui as the prefecture magistrate of Yingtian, including ten prefectures of Yingtian, Suzhou, Changzhou and Huizhou, as well as Guangde. Most of them are the hometown of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. The news came out that most of the corrupt officials in that area resigned voluntarily.

After hearing the news, the prominent dignitaries automatically changed the red painted door to black. The officials knew that Hairui was coming, and automatically reduced the number of cars and horses during travel, from a large number of cars and horses to a simple and low-key.

Hairui implemented various decrees, and the officials were afraid to make mistakes. The local giants even moved their families to other places to escape.

This is Haigang peak!!

Such a role to be the Minister of rites? If you make trouble and want the news to spread, it must be Manchu officials who impeach this "absurd" recommendation.

Hairui, a big man, has experienced the four dynasties of Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli. Except that he has not set foot in officialdom in the year of Zhengde, there are three remaining dynasties. The three Ming emperors can be called sensory complex.

As emperor Jiajing once said, this man can be compared with Bigan, but I am not king Zhou of Shang Dynasty.

Emperor Longqing has always appreciated and supported Hai Rui. There are too many people in the court who impeach Hai Rui... The emperor can't bear the pressure.

The young emperor Zhu Yijun has always admired the name of Haigang peak.

If we really want Hai Rui to be the Minister of the Ministry of officials, Shen Shixing himself is a little guilty and timid, not to mention Shen Shixing. At this time, Zhang Juzheng estimates that he is also guilty. Although he presided over the reform in the great national righteousness, it has greatly changed the Ming Dynasty.

But in terms of personal style, it's definitely crazy when Hairui catches it.

After being ignorant for a while, Shen Shixing was surprised and said, "Qi Yuanjing is going to betray his mentor and intend to flatter his majesty and follow Jiang Bin's example?"

Zhang Juzheng was disappointed, "Qi Yuanjing in my cognition is not such a person, so I wonder what happened in the middle?"

Before Qi Jiguang met Zhang Juzheng, although he wanted to kill Japanese pirates all over the border, he was just a small field officer, but he was powerless.

It was not until he was recommended by Zhang Juzheng 27 years ago that he became a general in charge of the three battalions and twenty-five guard stations, training and killing the enemy. He had been fighting for nearly 30 years. How could Zhang Juzheng not know him?
