Chapter 5 Chapter Three Three Years Vacation

In the 33rd year of Jiajing, Juzheng asked to return to Jiangling and temporarily left political life.During this year, Alda continued to attack Datong.In the southeast, Japanese pirates invaded more aggressively.The remnants of the thieves who were defeated by Taicang seized the ships and entered Jiangbei again, plundered Tongzhou, Haimen and Rugao, and advanced as far as the border of Shandong.Japanese pirates are everywhere in the Jiangnan area, Haiyan, Jiaxing, Jiashan, Songjiang, and Jiading.Zhang Jing, the governor of Zhefu Nanji Military Affairs, and Li Tianchong, the governor of Zhejiang Province, are actively blocking the defense.In winter, Zhao Wenhua, Yan Song's adopted son, played the performance, and the Japanese pirates were rampant. Please pray to Zu Donghai to suppress the tyrants.From the perspective of Sejong, who specializes in Zhaijiao, the whimsical countermeasure is a reasonable strategy.Zhao Wenhua was ordered to go south, harassing along the way, impeaching Zhang Jing on the one hand, and refused to be a thief.Zhang Jing was mobilizing troops to kill the enemy. When the Japanese pirates were defeated in Wangjiangjing in May 34th, and 1,900 thieves were beheaded, the results of Zhao Wenhua's Shangshu were also revealed.Zhang Jing was arrested and went to Beijing, and soon Li Tianchong was also arrested. In October, the two abandoned the market, and Yang Jisheng was killed along with it.Impeaching Yan Song and those who were not good at serving Wenhua got the same result.This was the politics of the day.The enemy from the southeast and northwest attacked at the same time. This was the situation at that time.This thirty-year-old young man with ambition, ideas, and methods has withdrawn from political life and spent his years in poetry and wine.

In Juzheng's "First Examination of Guanlan Gong's Travels", he claimed to be Jiayin, who was unworthy and returned home due to illness. He lived in the mountains for six years and had the ambition to die.Six years refers to the period from the 33rd year of Jiajing to the 38th year, which is just an approximate count.In fact, in the thirty-sixth year, Juzheng had been sold out. The "Preface to the Wuwu Manuscript of Planting Lotus Seeds" (Article 8) stated that he went to Jiayin, and he was not a sycophant who returned with illness.In fact, from thirty-three years to thirty-six years, Juzheng lived a leisurely life for three full years.In the thirty-seventh year, he returned home on the road, and in the thirty-eighth year he returned to Beijing. Together with the previous period, it is called the six years of the mountain dweller.

Jingxiu's "Wen Zhong Gong Xing Shi" has the following records about his life in the first three years: Thirty-three years ago, Jiayin went to the Shu and asked for a report.Once you have returned, you will build a small lake and mountain, teach children, insert soil and weave thatch, build a room, only three or five rafters, plant half an mu of bamboo, and raise a crane. Make the boys several people, do things like sweeping, making tea and washing medicine.Sometimes reading, or resting in the womb of the gods, looking inside and looking back.After a long time, his spirit became stronger and stronger, and he became a scholar with a wide range of books, running through Baishi, and focusing on the affairs of the world.Gaitu thinks that Confucianism should be like this, and his heart is that it is beneficial to springs and stones, but it has no meaning in the world.

Zhou Shengkai's "Zhang Juzheng Biography" also said that he can't afford to retreat all day long, and people can't see anything. After a long time, he will benefit a lot from the books and understand the affairs of the world. Of course, it is based on the words of respect and repair. This section of the "History of Ming Dynasty" is completely omitted.In fact, Juzheng's life is not so peaceful.There are many fragments left in the collection of poems and essays, we can see how he spent his time. During this stage, he had many tours and banquets, and finally visited Hengshan in thirty-five years, and there were many turbulences in his life.But it was the political situation as a whole that concerned him most. "Climbing Huaiyu Tower" (Poem 1, written about 33 years ago) has these lines:

But I'm afraid that it will be late at night, and I can't stay in the corner of the eye. The wind and dust are dark in the sea, and the clouds are all over Zhongzhou.The eyes are extremely heart-like, looking around but harboring sorrow, and singing songs together, the life experience is long. This is hot.Ju Zheng couldn't let go of the whole political situation.I have no chance to grasp the power, but seeing the power fall into the hands of others and the country embarking on an unfortunate fate, I am really unwilling. "Cultivating Bamboo Pian" (poem 1) also said: Forever wishing the old haze, I would rather know that the years will change, but I am afraid of Ling Lunzi, cutting off this Lingxiao branch, wouldn't it be expensive to cut it, and suffer from good looks.Under the dew in Ting Gao, the flowers and grass are desolate. I wish to use the cold weather of the year to share the time when the king shakes down.

This seems to be indifferent, but still enthusiastic.Politicians in history often cast a layer of hard-to-advance and easy-to-retreat color on their passionate emotions.In fact, really ambitious people don't need such pretentiousness.When Chang Ju and Jie Ni were plowing the fields, they saw Zilu, and Jie Ni only satirized Confucius. Confucius said sadly, "Birds and beasts should not be in the same group. Who should I be with if I am not a man?"There is a Tao in the world, and Qiu does not agree with Yi.He said that since he is a human being, he must seek happiness for mankind. Confucius is absolutely unwilling to be a person who avoids the world like Chang Ju and Jie Ni.This is the passion of Confucius.Enthusiasm is not something that should be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it.Juzheng is also an unabashed passion.He once said: When Jiajing was middle-aged, merchants were in power, goods and wealth were high-ranking, and the people were screaming, and there was no way to kill them. Was the scene different from the end of the Han and Tang Dynasties?Fortunately, the ancestors have profound virtues and have been loved by the people for a long time, only to avoid danger! (Letter 12 "Answer to Fujian Governor Geng Chutong"), what kind of scene is this!In this period, the gentlemen who are self-confident and pure may just wander in the forest, but there are people who go through fire and water, even in the forest, they are still constantly thinking about it. Isn't his enthusiasm worthy of the sympathy of future generations?

Juzheng has another poem by Hearing the Police: (Poem 5, written around the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing) I first heard that iron cavalry were approaching Shenzhou, and the murderous aura spread far away to Ji Beiqiu.Linrong is empty and bears three risks, who will be the lord of ten thousand households?It's not a day to hold fire and sleep with salary, and the sick man is empty-cut. In September of the thirty-fourth year, I Da violated Datong and Xuanfu, and 12 days later, invaded Huailai, and Beijing was under martial law. This poem roughly refers to this.The country has become so chaotic: the emperor fasted and prayed there, praying for longevity;There is no way to live in the court, let alone in the wild!His emotions are poured out only in the collection of poems, and the most poignant one is a chanting of the seven sages: (Poem 1)

I read "History of Jin."The Biography of the Seven Sages", I want to see him as a human being, and often lament that a subtle person is more important than himself, follow the path of the past, and have nothing to do with the same, so there are slanders and slanders in the whole life, but the lone traveler does not feel regretful, sinking It has been obscured for thousands of years, but those who are lonely don't feel bored, and they all feel comfortable, even those who travel outside.Husband Youlan’s life in the empty valley is not for those who have experienced the superb scenery, so you can’t pick it, and Youlan will not reduce its smell because of lack of harvest; and the uncooked basalt, whoever gets it will be treasured if you don’t search for it alone. , and He Pu does not hide his light with ignorance.What the sage did is beyond anyone's guess.In addition, knowledge can be short and short, and traces can be bright and dark, so how can it be fully described?Today's discussion of the seven sages, just looking at them indulgently and unrestrainedly, feeding and sipping bad wine, is said to have many famous teachings, which brought disaster to the Jin family. Those who do not know good work are also lonely.Try it out. "easy.There is a saying in "Wings": The world is the same but different, one is the same but there is a lot of worry.Therefore, the words are different from each other, and they are written in the same way, but they are used in different ways, and their purpose is the same.Chao, Yukangxing, Ji, Qixuanmo, were accommodated in the Yao Dynasty;Yu Guan's seven sons all have the heart of Chong Su, and their bodies are mellow and gentle. If they are talented, they can be in the right place. At the top, they can make their work grand and praise the king's career. If you want to sink into the dregs and filth, you have nothing to lose!

Just wait, when the time comes, Juzheng decides to do a great job.Bringing peace to the country and seeking immortality for the individual, everything is waiting for the right time. But in the 33rd year of Jiajing, Juzheng had already asked to return to his hometown, and the important affairs of the country could only be handed over to the government of the rich and wealthy. He himself was preparing to become a degraded person.When the imperial government is not clear, it is actually impossible to find a piece of clean soil in other provinces.Local administration is always a reflection of central administration, and Juzheng knows nothing about it.After he returned to Jingzhou Mansion, he only felt that the situation in Jingzhou was good during the first hundred years of Ming Dynasty, but:

Afterwards, the mellowness and vulgarity gradually faded away, and the network became less and less dense. It changed into a prosperous suzerain and vassal state, with the right to be right, and the law to be concealed.Changes will result in unequal land taxes, poor people are unemployed, and people suffer from mergers.It has changed again and overseas Chinese households live together, cunning, hypocritical and deceitful, and vulgarity is worse than stealing.Therefore, it is difficult to treat it at that time.The non-husband, Shen Yi, has made a clear decision that everything is based on picking out traitors and picking up disadvantages, so there is no reason to be happy with his job. (Anthology Nine "The Inscription of Jingzhou Mansion")

Things are obvious.Suzerains and vassals chaotically governed, of course the suzerains and vassals imposed restrictions; big landlords annexed land and the poor became unemployed, of course the big landlords were punished;Everything was in Juzheng's eyes, but he was just an outlaw. Although he had the determination to punish him, he did not have the power to punish him.He only has to farm. An article "Learning Farming Garden" describes his life: Yu Shao is very poor, his family is ruined, his family is poor, he is a weak official, and he owns dozens of acres of land.Jiayin of Jiajing, thanked for his illness, thought that he was seriously ill, could not hold a pen with a hairpin, and flattered the Ming Dynasty.It is all Xie Ping's relatives, that is, several mu of land in the field, planting bamboo and trees, killing Mao and building huts, so as to rest comfortably in it.From time to time, among the rice paddies, the former field husbands and old servants measure the dryness and humidity of the land, and compare the successive ones. They occupy the clouds and look at the tenacity, so as to know the prosperity and ominousness of the year.Every time he is exposed to the wind and scorched by the sun, he will be a servant all year round, only free from hunger; ;Or if you are lucky in the year of Gu Shuncheng, the yellow cloud is ridged, and the old people cheer at the time of the year, and the acquaintance is a day, then they are happy and entertained.Although there is no hope of lacking the diligence of bowing, the pain of being frustrated and drowning in farming, but singing and singing, it is not true.Since he is self-deprecating, he is poor in using clumsy talents, and lacks the amount of great financial aid, but he only works hard to cultivate the fields, and when he is happy to support his parents, the common people are not to blame. (Anthology Nine) In addition to land tax, there is also commercial tax.In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, the tax bureaus in various places paid 30 cents of the tax, and no overcharge was allowed. (Volume 35 of "Ming Hui Dian"), this is a principle, but a principle is a principle, and execution is execution. The extra demands of commercial taxes and invisible transfers will add to the burden of ordinary people.This is also in Juzheng's eyes.He said: In the future, the rich will spend extravagantly, and they will not be willing to work in agriculture. The farmers will not have enough food, and the rich will use their surplus to serve the poor.Those in power suffer from it, so they calculate their savings, take a little bit of envy, and use it to assist the public's urgency. However, many of them are only tens of thousands, and few are only more than ten thousand. South acres.Since then, pavilions and barriers have been built outside, and frontier fortresses have been repaired to defend the arrogant captives. Inside, there are palace construction expenses, which are used by the country every year, and the rate is millions.Therefore, many subjects were recruited, eager to save the fire, and the envoys were also eager to benefit from the Fu, hoping for the purpose, and the Fu might be beyond the number.Therefore, I think that if you want to be unyielding in material resources, you should save money and pay, and use it to favor agriculture and business; Zhou Zi said, even if this is the case, what can we do if the national use is insufficient? Zhang Zi said, I have read "Salt and Iron Theory" for a while, and I have seen that between the Han Dynasty and the first Yuan Dynasty, there were serious difficulties and disadvantages in the country. Those who were in power at that time were all arguing about profit, while all literary students were thrifty based on wind and strength. .His words seem to be roundabout, but Emperor Zhao did it, and he got the effect.Therefore, the ancient financiers eliminated the superfluous and overflowed but did not seek to increase the income, and cut down the leakage of expenses but did not open up the source of profit; unfortunately, as for the scarcity, it should be considered for a long time, so as to plant the country and enrich the yuan.Jia Sheng said: There are very few people who are alive, but many are exhausted. How can the wealth of the world be safe?Isn't it difficult to get rid of the root of it now and compete with Jia Shu to benefit it? (Anthology 8 "Preface to Zhou Hanpu's Return to the Court of Zhou Hanpu, the Minister of Donating Water") Juzheng is only a person in opposition, but his views on politics have clearly left an outline.To alleviate the suffering of the people, the burden must be lightened.The biggest burden in the past 30 years of Jiajing: the first is foreign defense funds, and the second is the construction of the imperial palace.Those who are ambitious in politics must make arrangements for national defense and the royal family.Ju Zheng saw it clearly, and was slowly waiting for his opportunity. During his three-year vacation, Liao Wang Xian㸅 was a close companion.What a pity that these two people of the same age, seeing their fates, will always be entangled in one place.Concubine Mao is dead and Xian 㸅 is free. Apart from the admirable title of King Liao, he is a loyal and religious person of Qingwei.This is a guarantee. For Sejong, who believes in Taoism, he is a complete comrade.Cultivation is just a name, Xian 㸅 likes women most, and games.The prince is not allowed to go out without authorization, but Xian 㸅 sometimes goes hundreds of miles away to pursue his hobbies, no one can control him.Can you control the emperor's colleague, His Highness the King of Liao?When Juzheng came home, Xian 㸅 added another kind of joy. Although he was not a wandering friend, since he was an editor of the Imperial Academy, he would definitely be able to compose poems.Xian 㸅 also likes to write poems, so he writes poems with Juzheng.Singing harmony, reminding sentences, all the things that sour talents love to do, they have done it.In addition to the life of drinking and chasing women, a new kind of entertainment has been added, which is very happy.Juzheng thought of the scars of his grandfather being given alcohol by Xian 㸅 that day, but he did not expect to be subjected to this tyranny again.Enduring everything, he had no choice but to take free time to chase after His Royal Highness the King of Liao who called himself Cao Zijian and Li Taibai.The king of Liao naturally had the poetic talent of the king of Liao.Ju Zheng once said: Gai Tian is endowed with superb talents, has the ability to be a part-timer, and is a master craftsman.Although his writings do not follow the traces of literati, they are no different from the rules.Every time I drink and compose poems, I often ask the guests to recite rhymes and limit sentences, and compare the rhythms one by one.Or the dangerous rhyme and strange sound, everyone kisses dryly and draws their coats, and can't say a word; Wang Yuan's hair falls off the paper, accumulating hundreds of words, but he sticks to Xinli, the more he cares about the appearance, he pours out all the pearls, and there is no shortage. (Anthology VIII "Preface to the Wuwu Manuscript of Planting Lotus Seeds") It's a kind of irony.The so-called more concerned about the appearance, the extravagant, of course, is an attitude that cannot be counted.But Juzheng had to sing with him.A glass of bitter wine had to be swallowed slowly.Poetry collections include "His Royal Highness Tongzhen'an, Li Luocun Yinshuzhai Garden Pavilion" (Poem 1), "Wei Mi Thatched Cottage Volume is a Fu of Zhen'an Wang Sun" (Poem 5), "He Zhenyi Wang Sun Baling Mountain Rhyme" (Poem 5) ), "Two Poems Presented to the King and Grandson of Zhen'an" (Poem 5), Zhen'an is Zhenyi, and the poem repeatedly says that Yaozhang surprises Xi Penglai Que, and feather festivals hang high in Taiyi Palace ("Wei Mi Thatched Cottage Volume"); Jiang Shangchu I heard that Xiaoyoudong has lived in Daluotian for many years ("Gift to the King and Grandson of Zhen'an"); obviously it refers to Xian㸅.Li Luocun was named Xianqing, the governor of Huguang. In the 36th year of Jiajing, he was promoted to the left deputy capital censor, and the governor of Huguang Chuangui. There are two articles about the Liao Mansion in the anthology of Juzheng: one is "The Epitaph of the Liao Mansion Honoring the Duke of Zhengwang" (Anthology 5), and the other is "Biography of Wang Chengfeng" (Anthology 9).The epitaph was made during the vacation, and it is said to Xian 㸅 that he is intelligent and intelligent, and he is extremely talented. When "Wang Chengfeng Biography" was written, Juzheng had already returned to the court, and he bluntly said that Wang Congmin argued, but he was greedy for profit and harm, and he was too big, so lawless, he often went hundreds of miles away to play games, and Simo dared not stop.The struggle has already begun, and of course there is no need to hide it, it is a matter for the future.During the vacation, Ju Zheng confronted Xian 㸅, but still compromised.There is no mention of the lawlessness of the Liao king.Even the fact that Xian's illegitimate son pretended to be his legitimate son was not mentioned. "Wang Chengfeng Biography" revealed it to its heart's content, and pointed out that when reporting, as a rule, Cheng Fengzheng should sign it, but after Wang Dayong (Chengfengzheng is the name of the eunuch in the palace, and Dayong is the name of the person) refused, Xian 㸅 secretly affixed the seal of acceptance, and later Dayong died of anger because of it.Everything is in the eyes of the entertainment and singing.It wasn't until the second year of Longqing that it ended once. During his vacation, Juzheng once visited Wuchang. "He Shaozai Zhenshan Zhugong Re-introduced the Special Grace Preface" (Collection 8) said that this year, he was stupid and lacked, and he joined Dong Gong in Xunyang.Zhu Gong in Zhenshan is Zhu Heng, and Dong Gong in Xunyang is Dong Fen. What interested Juzheng the most was his visit to Mount Heng. There are two collections of anthology, "The Story of You Heng Mountain" and "Postscript" (anthology nine), and there are about ten poems in the anthology.Juzheng said to himself: Yu Yong has an unworthy body, a weak crown and an official position, which is not unreasonable.However, it is not appropriate to be cool in the world. Whenever you are in a place where you can understand mountains and rivers, you will forget to return, which is because of your nature.Husbands can only adapt to their own nature, and they can last forever. If you want to be as strong and healthy as your present teeth, you can't spend a long time in Jiugai with sweat, but you should also travel all over the world.Now it's time to start Hengyue, so I will tell the spirit of the mountain. ("You Hengyue Ji") This trip took place in October of the 35th year of Jiajing, with Li Yihe in Yingcheng, Wanghuisha in Xiangtan, and Zhangzeng Mountain in Hanyang. They lingered in the mountains for eight days and met Li Shitang in Changsha after descending the mountain.They saw Yue Temple, Banshan Pavilion, Zhurong Peak, Guanyin Rock, Shangfeng Temple, Douli Temple, Nantai Temple, Huangting Temple, Fangguang Temple, Erxian Temple.Two poems are recorded here: Su Nantai Temple Sleeping in the smoke on a lonely peak, I don't know that I am on the top of Cuiwei, the bells and chimes of cold life are at the beginning of the night, and the moon is full and full.Dust and dreams are extinguished with all phases, and a lamp shines in the heart. In the Ming Dynasty, I searched for Zhuling Road, and I still haven't walked through the purple clouds. (verse 5) Fangguang Temple Occasionally come and see and go and hear, clear springs and clouds in the eyes, the mountains are affectionate and can love guests, and the bamboo will farewell but pity you.Thin and chasing away from the lonely Hongyuan, the wandering traces are like fallen leaves, the dust has no intention to leave surnames, and the green gauze rests to protect the writing between the walls. (verse 5) During the mountain tour, Juzheng's mood is still in conflict.These two poems clearly show that he has no intention of fame, but "Ye Huiweng, Nanxuan Temple Shows All Comrades" (poem 1) says: May I be a couple with the same heart, and the prosperity and prosperity will lead you, and the trickle will flow into the sea, and you will become a hill. If you want to travel thousands of miles, can you stay in the middle way?Every new record every day, don't make your head ashamed! What are Wanlitu and Rixinzhi?Of course it will not be the ambition of traveling all over the world.Juzheng's heart is always warm.On his way to Shangfeng Temple, his gaze was always towards the north. The strangest thing is that while asking to go back to his hometown, he still believes that he wants to travel thousands of miles, and he can stay in the middle way!He was the one who asked for sick leave, and he was the one who claimed to be healthy.He is the one who claims to be closed, and he is also the one who invited Li Yihe to tour the mountains (Poem 3 "Admonishment with Li Yihe to make an appointment with Hengyue, but not to be mocked"). Of course, the sick leave should be cancelled; his mind is constantly planning for an early date. Also toward.Jingxiu's "Wen Zhong Gong Xing Shi" explained the motivation of Ju Zheng to go out of the mountain in the autumn of Jiajing's thirty-sixth year: The father saw that the grand master lived in the mountains for three years, but he could not afford to lie down, and he was not happy in Changyi.I asked what the adults were doing to be anxious and tired.The eldest father always acts as if he doesn't care about it, and he always kisses him with his Italian words.For fear of hurting the father's heart, he went out. If it is not an intentional misinterpretation, it must be Jingxiu's ignorance. Ju Zheng's petition was entirely out of dissatisfaction with the political situation, and perhaps a little fear of disaster. "Thank you for illness and farewell to Xu Cunzhai Xiang Gongshu" has given us some enlightenment.The verses in his petition more clearly point out: People's livelihoods have their own characteristics, and they use different softness and rigidity one after another.But I have a weak posture, endure all the dirt, and keep my wits in a corner, and my words and silence hinder each other. (Poem 1 "Send Hu Jianxi Two Poems Again") In the past, I was in Tunan Fen Mingbo, and I met the master of the Ming Dynasty in Danque, and I was as good as a job in writing shame and learning.Once dirty and unsatisfactory, I turned back to lie in the moon in the Cangjiang River.The old man knows that I have a hazy heart, and I send it to the cloud forest in the distance. Looking at the picture, it looks like a dragon's face, which makes me feel dizzy.The dust has been wiped out, who can invade the world network?Don't say that the big hermit sinks the golden horse, and makes a flat boat to float the Bixun.In the future, Zige is like remembering each other, and the smoke and peach blossoms are deeper and deeper. (Poem 2 "Thank you for Cao Jishan's school inspector's question on Laozi's exit from customs") Tired of looking at Jiangling's mountains and rivers, he began to realize that what he was nostalgic for was only the city gates of Beijing.Danger There may be some danger, but don't worry about it.Those who don't know each other may blame him for his enthusiasm, but they don't care.Ju Zheng finally returned to Beijing resolutely. "Duluo Pian" (poem 1) and "Sword Pian" (poem 2) are roughly written on the way to the north in the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing. When a national soldier dies, he misses Han after a meal, and wants to repay the king's kindness, how can he be sympathetic to others! (solitary article) Don't you see, Zhu Ayou, a man from Pingling, refuses to be a prince directly, but asks to cut the horse sword from above, and climbs the sill to meet the dragon. (Sword Chapter) What reveals Juzheng's personality most is his "Share Cutting". cut stock Don't worry about cutting stocks and cutting stocks!It's okay to sacrifice one's life to replace relatives, but is an inch of skin enough to be cherished?The cracked skin can still be whole, but the father's life is hard to prolong, he draws his sword and looks up to the sky, his liver and gallbladder are broken, and the day is miserable and bitter.It seems that you are not in the middle way, and you are pitiful even if you work hard.I would like to move this heart, to serve the king as a relative, not to love death in times of danger and distress, and to be loyal and filial to the ages. (poem 2) Ju Zheng resolutely dropped everything.Since then, he has no family, no love affairs, only a country.He was passionate about political power, and he never let go of it until the moment of his death. However, his love for political power was mainly for the country.He sacrificed his friends, abandoned his teachers, and even the internal prison attached to Afu; as long as he can maintain the existence of the regime, he can do it, because maintaining his own regime is an opportunity to serve the country.Since then, he has not seen his father for nineteen years. After his father died, he did not go to the funeral, did not worry, did not abide by the rules, and disregarded everyone's reviling; the political power was his only lover, and the political power was his opportunity to serve the country.If you want to repay your kindness, how can you be sympathetic to others!Juzheng growled loudly.
