Chapter 6 Chapter 4 Re-entry into the political vortex

In the autumn of the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, Juzheng entered Beijing from Jiangling, and then plunged into the political vortex.This time he came out of the mountain, mostly because he was unwilling to be lonely.The overall political situation has not improved at all. Sejong still insists on cultivating Xuan, Yan Song still holds great power, and Xu Jie still composes green poems meticulously, calmly.The new political force also includes the son of Yan Shifan and Yan Song.Yan Song was old, and he had to go to Xi Nei to serve Shizong every day. All officials who wanted to contact him with government affairs, he ordered to discuss with his son Donglou.Donglou was Shifan's alias. It was a strange thing for a father to call his son by his alias at the time.Shifan was promoted from Taichangqing to Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry; this is a name, but in fact, he is Yan Song's representative.In the political society at that time, Yan Song was the prime minister, and Shifan was the junior prime minister.

During this period, externally, there is still nothing to do.Ida continued to attack Gubeikou, Tongzhou, Jizhou, Datong, and Xuanhua on the outskirts of Beijing. The political center of the country became his final goal.The Japanese pirates in the southeast also continued to invade.They had no great plans, but the richest parts of the country were long under their ravages.In terms of internal affairs, of course, there is no local security.After Juzheng returned to the Imperial Academy, he once said: Chang'an's bureau has changed repeatedly, Jiangnan Yuxi is at noon, ten miles away from the capital, there are hundreds of robbers in groups, the greed is endless, and the people's grievances are deepening!If there are villains who take advantage of the provocation, it will be impossible to hide it.It is not enough to eliminate the troubles of the world without the upright and magnificent people who break through the norm and sweep away the clarification.Although Gu Shi has such a person, he may not know it, but if he knows it, he may not use it.This can be lamented. (Letter 15 "Answer to Geng Chu Tong")

This upright and magnificent man is waiting for his opportunity.Xu Jie was his confidant, but Xu Jie didn't use his chance.Yan Song regarded him as a scribe and didn't pay attention.Shi Fan thought that he, Lu Bing, and Yang Bo were the three great talents in the world, so he didn't pay attention.Juzheng just flattered Yan Song and his son.Later, Yan Song's wife died, and Juzheng praised their father and son in the sacrificial text: But I, the old man of the Yuan Dynasty, is cautious, discusses the strategy carefully, keeps secrets in the base order, works loyally, and is the only one from the beginning to the end.He is born of a philosopher, he is talented and talented, he is as beautiful as a virtuous person, he is loyal to him, he goes to work in the public house, and he enters Fengchen Province. (Anthology Ten "Worship of Mrs. Yan, the first grade of worship")

This is an afterthought, but it can be seen how Ju Zheng dealt with Yan Song and his son. Just as what Ju Zheng said, the Imperial Academy is a place that is down-to-earth and down-to-earth.Here he has done training work, but also thought about the actual career.Although others regard him as a scribe, his personality has been revealed a lot in the books: After the Middle Ages, Daxiong's method was divided into two sects, Zong and Jiao.Everything that our generation has taught and researched, and words confirmed, are all taught.Ruofu's sect's tenet is not a little like forgetting to interpret it, it is really super profound, and it can be easily explained.However, the sect is based on the contract, and the teaching can be followed. For example, the rain of the Dharma is universal, and you can receive it with your roots.Today's scholars are all abandoning the doctrine of teaching and teaching, thinking about it presumptuously, and insisting on it as it is;This vertical fist drink stick, the dog shoots the prong, so there are many in the world. (Letter 15 "Answer to Zhou Hechuan on Zen")

In the quietness of the past few days, I realized that the mind and body are originally wonderful, bright, round and pure, without any contamination, and all the appearances of dust and labor are self-touched.Knowing this body, then everything that can be transformed into wisdom is nothing but the wonderful use of original awareness.Therefore, one should not have a pure heart, one should not have a dirty heart, one should not have a heart, one should not have a disgusted heart, encompass the world, and be impeded by nothing. (The same volume "Send Gao Xiaolian Yuangu") The so-called poverty-stricken people in "Yi" do not mean that they can prosper through poverty, but that they can prosper if they are trapped without losing their appropriateness.My younger brother likes Yang Chengzhai's "Yi Zhuan" very much. There is a copy in the seat and he often plays with it.I secretly think that the six classics contain nothing more than aphorisms, and the wonderful uses of the most sages in the world are all in this book. From the slightest words and actions in daily life to the great economics of the world, there is nothing that does not have subtle powers and wonderful uses, and nothing that cannot be fatal to the poor gods.It's wonderful, that is, the white head cannot be exhausted, that is, the sage cannot be exhausted.If you have one or two sincerity, you can also transcend the world.Brother, who is deeper than Yi, take a look at it in your spare time, get rid of the habit of exegesis, and only take the original of Zhao Kuang, and you should have a place where you can get it. (The same volume "Answer to Hu Jianxi Taishi")

Learning knows the mind, but must see the reality.If you want to see the reality, if you don't go to trivial details, to vulgarity, or to disputes, you can't stick to it firmly, as if you are forced by firepower, the golden body will appear.Pu Po hated himself for being a foreign official.Today in human nature and physics, although it is falsely said that the original consciousness can be illuminated, but in the end it is to look at flowers through the screen window, it is not as good as the public and others who only look at the flowers.A sage can regard the world as one family and China as one person, but he must understand his feelings, understand his righteousness, understand his divisions, and understand his troubles, and then he can do it.If you are not familiar with human relations and physics, you are not knowledgeable.Confucius said: The way is not far away.Today, those who use false views as tacit evidence will not believe it. (The same volume "Answering Luo Jinxi Wanling Yin")

The era of Juzheng was exactly the era when Yangming's theory prevailed.This school of learning combines Confucianism and Buddhism, and the final goal is performance in terms of merit.Juzheng's so-called primordial consciousness can be illuminated, which is the revelation of the Yangming School.But he has always adopted an uncompromising attitude towards this school of speech.In the thirty-second year of Jiajing｜In four years, when Nie Bao gave lectures in Beijing, he was honest and called a scholar of recent times, or his words and deeds were quite inconsistent. The servants said that his words were not credible, so he remained alone until he was unknown.It is said that the desire for learning and confidence is clear, but if you just listen to people's songs and tears, Zhishi's so-called reading all other treasures will not be your own ears. (Book 15 "Qi Nie Sima Shuangjiang").Later, when he was in power, the ban on lecturing was just an evolution of this attitude.But he said that the meditation of confidence is actually the style of study of the mind.To use this style of study to study the scriptures, of course, the only way is to get rid of the habit of exegesis and learn the original source of openness.In the eighth year of Wanli, Juzheng answered Zhu Mu's comment on the Spring and Autumn Clouds, the old texts of the Spring and Autumn History of Lu, and Zhongni slightly revised them to cover the straight books based on facts, and he saw the good and the evil by himself, not intending to praise or criticize.Since the Three Traditions opened the door of piercing, Confucianism has inherited the shoddy knowledge, and the meaning of sages' records has been immersed in nothing.The so-called use the belly of a villain to save the heart of a gentleman! (Letter 12 "Answer to Zhou Zonghou Xitingyan Spring and Autumn Debate") The claim is still the same.

In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, Wuwu, King Yi of Chongduan [Jin Jue] took over the feudal title, and Juzheng was ordered to go to Runing to confer the title of King Chong.Ru Ning was not far from Jiangling, and went home on the sidewalk. This was the last time he saw his father.In March of the sixth year of Wanli, Juzheng's "Begging for Return Burial": mourning the three brothers of the former ministers and ministers, and the beloved minister Youdu.It has been ten or nine years since the morning and evening, once the obituary is heard, it will become a forever farewell.His words refer to this.When he returned home, he still couldn't avoid the entanglement of Liao Wangxian. "Preface to the Wuwu Manuscript of Planting Lotus Seeds" is an ordered article.In the preface this autumn, I want to pay homage to the king, and the three volumes of Wang's hand-written poems say that this is a recent draft.Read it without accepting it, it can be proved.Planting lotus seeds is the alias of Xian 㸅, king of Liao Dynasty.

In this year, the struggle between Yan Song and Xu Jie gradually became concrete.In March of the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, Wu Shilai, director of the criminal department, Zhang Chong and Dong Chuance, the director of the criminal department, went to court on the same day to impeach Yan Song.From time to time, it is said: His Majesty was furious immediately, and everyone was delighted to catch and treat the border ministers.It is a crime for the frontier ministers and the army to lose the strength of the army and give power to them.If you are in power and receive rewards from him, you will be innocent if you ignore your friends and traitors!In the 20th year of Song's assisted government, civil and military forces were removed, and he was found out. He secretly ordered his son Shifan to enter and exit the forbidden place, and wrote a reply. mountain accumulation.Still not satisfied, I use my relatives Wancai as Wenxuan Lang, Fang Xiang as Fang Lang, and every time I do something and promote an official, I must first obey the orders of Shifan and then invite them.Your Majesty knows how to discuss the appointment of ministers, but you don't know that it is all the selfish intentions of Song and his son!He doesn't have a theory, such as Zhao Wenhua, Wang Ruxiao, Zhang Jing, Cai Kelian, Yang Shun, Wu Jiahui and others, whether they prayed to avoid death, or prayed to move their officials, all stripped people's anointing for personal gain, and vain officials used money to plug powerful families.Your Majesty has seen one or two of them.Yuan Hong, Zhang Qi, and Yu Shi Wan Minying have also tried to do it repeatedly.Gu Duo pointed and sarcastically, but there was no one who directly attacked Song and his son.The minister said that to get rid of the evil and do the work, things are not going well at the frontier today, because the army is trapped, the army is trapped by the evil officials, and the officials are evil by the good people in power. If you don't go to Song and his son, your Majesty will not be able to do anything on the frontier even though he will be worried and toil all day long. (Use an excerpt from "Ming History Volume 210 Wu Shilai Biography")

Zhang Chongshu said: "Every time I pass Chang'an Street, I see Songmen, it is nothing more than a border town envoy. If I don't see my father, I give it to my son first. If I don't see my son, I give it to my family first."The family has been in strict years, and the wealth has exceeded hundreds of thousands, as the Song family knows.The private collection is full, half of which belongs to the army reserve, the frontier soldiers are cold and starved, and do not plan for the day and night, and the army supported by the ancestors for two hundred years is exhausted and weak.The frontier defense is weak, and the frontier reserve is empty, so that the talents are sufficient for your Majesty, and there is nothing to worry about.Since Song assisted the government, contemptuous of fame and wealth, private pockets, Shifan relied on the power of his father, tiger and wolf, recruited power without profit, beasts snatched money from birds, and shameless people rushed in one after another, following the wind, like Kuangyi, and the talents cultivated by the ancestors for two hundred years have been completely ruined.In the book of biography and policies, Yan Song's six crimes of destroying border defense, violating official titles, beating the state, party sinners, spoiling post, and bad talents are listed.The three of them went to school on the same day, and they also focused on border defense, which easily aroused Yan Song's suspicion.

Yan Song saw that Wu Shilai and Zhang Chong were both Xu Jie's disciples, and Dong Chuance was Xu Jie's fellow villager, so he believed that someone was in charge.Then he tried his best to challenge Shizong.Shizong didn't listen, and later he came to garrison Hengzhou, Zhang Chong sent garrison Duyun, and passed on the policy to garrison Nanning, which was obviously different from Yang Jisheng's tragic disaster.Xu Jie's status has been gradually improved, and it has become a faint guarantee for them.Later, when Mu Zong came to the throne and Xu Jie was in power, all three of them served as restoration officials. In May of the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing, Xu Jie was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.This is an admirable title, because there is Wu Peng as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who is really missing.In the thirty-ninth year, Xu Jie became the grand master of Prince Jin from Shaofu. In this year, Juzheng was edited from the Imperial Academy, promoted to Youchunfang Youzhongyun, and was in charge of the affairs of Guozijian. The Hanlin Academy edited and revised the seventh rank, and the right middle Yunzheng was the sixth rank, and entered the first rank in the official rank.In the Ming Dynasty, there were Zuochunfang and Youchunfang, which were in charge of the prince’s petitions, writings, and lectures.But later they all became false titles for the promotion of Hanlin officials, without definite positions.Therefore, Juzheng's actual position is only the Imperial Supervision Department.In the Ming Dynasty, there were Guozijian in the northern and southern capitals, which were national universities at that time, but because there were only two Guozijians, their status was more grand than the current national universities.The chief officer of Guozijian is Jijiu, followed by Siye, who is the president and vice president of the National University.When Ju was in charge of the business, Guozijian sacrificed wine with a high arch.Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng were the three main figures in the political circle from the last years of Jiajing to the sixth year of Longqing. Gao Gong, a native of Xinzheng, was named Suqing and also known as Zhongxuan.Jiajing 20 years Jinshi.He served as a lecturer for King Yu for nine years, and has a deep relationship with King Yu.Since the death of Prince Zhuang Jing, Shizong did not establish a prince, and King Yu was the real prince.The bureaucrats of the Eastern Palace were usually the candidates for the University Scholars, so when Yan Song and Xu Jie were in power, they paid great attention to Gao Gong. In the future, it was their idea that Gao Gong be promoted to the Imperial Academy for Jijiu.When Gao Gong and Juzheng were colleagues in the Imperial College, they got to know each other well, and they both saw their status in the political world in the future. In the spring of the 40th year of Jiajing, I entered the bandits from the west of Hexi on ice. In July, they invaded Xuanfu and in September, they invaded Juyongguan.In November, Ji Neng, the nephew of Alda, committed crimes against Ningxia and pushed into Guyuan.In December, his younger brother Badu'er committed a crime in Gaizhou, Liaodong.Although the Tatar offensives were not particularly intense this year, they were extensive. Apart from the frontal north, the northeast and northwest were all ravaged by them.Jingxiu "Wen Zhonggong Xingshi", especially mentioned the record of forty years of committing thistle.This year's Tatar attack gave Juzheng a new stimulus. He and Jingxiu and his son often talked about it, and later left this record. In November of the 40th year, there was a fire in Xiyuan, and Sejong had to temporarily live in Yuxi Palace because the Yongshou Palace where he lived was destroyed.He saw that the place was narrow and small, and he was fussy with Yan Song and Xu Jie.Yan Song persuaded Shizong to return to the palace, but unexpectedly touched Shizong's infinite sadness.Nineteen years ago, on the night of October in the 21st year of Jiajing, when Sejong was staying in Concubine Cao Duan's palace, the palace maid Yang Jinying made a plan and almost strangled Sejong to death. Fortunately, Empress Fang came and rescued Sejong.At that time, he was in the midst of panic, unable to speak.Empress Fang issued an imperial edict to kill both Yang Jinying and Concubine Cao Duan.Let alone Yang Jinying's death, Sejong saw Concubine Duan was killed, and he didn't even have a chance to defend himself.Sejong understood Concubine Duan's injustice, but he couldn't blame the queen who saved her life.A sweet dream, with bloody memories left.From then on, he never returned to the palace, Xiyuan was his world.Ah, Yan Song, Shizong thought, Da Nei will never come back!While Sejong was meditating, Xu Jie had already seen the uneasiness in his expression. That's not necessary, Xu Jie said, the Fengtian Hall, the Huagai Hall, and the Jinshen Hall were rebuilt recently, and there are a lot of materials left over, which will be handed over to Lei Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. It won't take long to rebuild one. That's it, Shizong said happily, while Xu Jie's son Xu Fan was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Industry to supervise the work. In the spring of the forty-first year of Jiajing, the Longevity Palace was completed. After Shizong lived in it, he was very proud.From then on, Yan Song's influence gradually declined, while Xu Jie's influence gradually increased. In this year, Yushi Zou Yinglong dealt Yan Song a serious blow.Early summer is a rainy season, a rainy day, Yinglong took shelter from the rain at the eunuch's house.The sound of pattering rain could not stop outside the window, Ying Long said to the eunuch, "What's going on in here recently?" Of course the Inspector knew.But say, ah, say no, say no! This caused Zou Yinglong to question him.The Inspector could only say: Here's the thing.There came a Taoist priest named Lan Daoxing, who helped Luan with his hands.The emperor believed it.One day the emperor asked the ghost spirit, why is there no order in the world?At that time, the shackles shook, what words did you see on it?Ah, no, no!Nine big characters, the virtuous will not use them, and the unworthy will not give up their ears!The emperor was taken aback, and asked who the virtuous were.The shaman judged that the virtuous were like Xu Jie and Yang Bo, and the unworthy were like Song.The emperor asked again why the ghost fairy didn't get rid of him?Sand, sand, sand!After another while, there were still six characters on the jipan, which were left for the emperor to kill himself.What do you think, my husband?At that time, the emperor really pondered for a while, not knowing what it meant. A sound of rain revealed the news inside.Seeing that the rain had subsided, Zou Yinglong thanked his master and went back amidst the wind and rain.This night he was worried about the candlelight.Yan Song is a treacherous minister, and he has to eliminate harm for the emperor in all the censors and affairs.But thinking about the future of Shen Lian, Yang Jisheng, and Wu Shilai, why not worry about it?If a memorial can't defeat the treacherous officials, at least it will have to exile the army for three thousand miles.But maybe the emperor has already moved his heart, as long as he moves again, he will not be able to worry about Yan Song!Ying Long really hesitated.Suddenly, he fell asleep in a daze.He had a dream.It is said that in the east wind, he went hunting with his entourage.Seeing a high mountain in the distance, he aimed an arrow at it, but the arrow whizzed and disappeared.With a whip, he rode his horse and walked towards the east wind. There was another mountain in front of him, but it was much smaller.There is a building next to the mountain, and the fields below are all.Only a pile of rice was seen in the field, and the rice was covered with grass.He knew that there were no rice fields in the north, and even if there were a few, he would not sow rice in the fields in spring.Very strange.Regardless of him, let's shoot an arrow.It’s okay if you don’t send it out, but after sending it out, you only hear a crash, like the sky is falling, and the pile of rice has fallen!The buildings fell, the hills fell, and even the mountains fell.The chaos caused Yinglong to sweat profusely, it turned out to be a dream. The candlelight swayed in the east wind, because the candles were long, it seemed much dimmer, and the table was full of candle tears.Ying Long cut off the candle, and meditated on the candle light again.It is said that at that time he scribbled the words Gaoshan, Gaoshan on the table.In the blur, he saw that the word "mountain" connects with the word "high", which is Yan Song's Song!OK!Ying Long patted the case and got a new revelation.Things are easier now.The building to the east is the East Building.He wrote a word on the table, with rice on it, and rice on top of it, which was obviously a Tibetan character.He understood that this arrow must be aimed at the arrow, so as not to let it miss in the air.While the candlelight was flickering, he drafted and transcribed, never letting go of a minute.This is the censor Zou Yinglong's memorial: Yan Shifan, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, relied on his father's power, was insatiable with patents, privately engaged in royal rewards, and widely bribed, which corrupted the selection method.The main matter of the Ministry of Punishment was to govern the Yuan Dynasty, and it was transferred to the Ministry of Officials with 13,000 gold; Pan Hongye, a Juren, learned about the state with 2,200 gold.The husband's county official bribed tens of millions, and the big one was Fang Yue, the public minister, and he knew Ji Ji!There are no less than a hundred people who act as intermediaries for traffic illicit bribes, and his son Jinyi Yanhu, Zhongshu Yanhong, family member Yan Nian, and curtain guest Luo Longwen.Nian You is cunning, a shameless scholar-bureaucrat is called Mr. Heshan, and on Song's birthday, Nian Zong donates ten thousand gold for his life. If Zang is rich, what should the master do!Song father and son's hometown is Yuanzhou, and they set up good land and beautiful houses in Nanjing and Yangzhou. There are dozens of them without worry.If you are making profits in other places, so what about in the countryside!What is different is that Shifan lost his mother, and His Majesty, because of Song's high age, stayed here to take care of him, and ordered Hu to return to the south; The ignorance of it is that the grandmother's funeral is a rare commodity, so when he goes to the post, all the divisions accept it, and the county is empty.Today, there are frequent floods and droughts, and there are many policemen in the north and south. However, father and son of Shifan, Fang’s daily affairs, and internal and external affairs, are inexhaustible. Too late?I ask you to behead the head of the world and hang it in the city, thinking that it is a precept to be fierce and unfaithful.Gou Chen lied to the truth, willing to kill.Song dotes on the villain and calls for bribery of the city power, so it should be returned to the field urgently, and use the Qing government! In May of the 41st year of Jiajing, Yan Song's regime fell.Shizong issued an order to comfort Yan Song, but at the same time told him to return to his hometown to recuperate; Yan Shifan was interrogated by the judiciary, and finally sentenced Shifan, Yan Hu, and Luo Longwen to be exiled to the frontier.Shizong was still attached to Yan Song from time to time. When he was worshiping Taoist priests in Xiyuan, he could never let go of this veteran who wrote Qingci.But isn't Xu Jie the same as the new scholar, Yuan Wei, the gifted scholar from Cixi? Yan Song's regime finally fell.From the 41st year of Jiajing to March 44th, only Xu Jie and Yuan Wei remained in the cabinet.Yuan Wei is Xu Jie's student, but this is a long time ago. Of course, Yuan Wei will not back down anymore, and he will take care of all the chapters.Xu Jie has a lot of experience, and with a smile, he discusses all matters with Yuan Wei.Xu Jie put up slogans in Zhilu of the University Scholars, returning majesty to the master, government affairs to the ministers, and punishment to reward public opinion.He doesn't want to be Yan Song, he just wants to be a virtuous prime minister.He won general favor, but he is also planning how to kill Yan Shifan and how to starve Yan Song to death.For Yuan Wei, he just smiled blindly: Children, he thought, wait for me to plan slowly.Undoubtedly, in a state of wind and sun, the entire political power belongs to Xu Jie. In the evolution of the Yan and Xu regimes, we should not forget Zhang Juzheng.He once persuaded Xu Jie and Yan Song to do it clearly.His plan failed, but Xu Jie's plan succeeded.He is learning from his teacher again.Xu Jie knew that Ju was the pillar of the country, and he was reluctant to let him be Yang Jisheng, Wu Shilai, or even Zou Yinglong, risking the last time.He only let Ju to operate behind the scenes.After Yan Song's defeat, Juzheng felt infinitely happy and had infinite hopes for his political future.In the autumn of forty-one years, he had the following poems: The wild songs are curled up in the wind, not to mention the Chibi boat back then. (Poem 4 "Junxu July Wangxi Chuyoujia Chen Zijia's second-year brother's visit rhyme") The best day is already the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, thousands of miles of clear light from the distant sky. (Poem 4 "Gathering with the Monarchs at Shuanghe Temple on the Two Nights Before Mid-Autumn Festival") He was only thirty-eight years old this year, so he was still young after all.His hope was excited, but Tianfeng was only a false noise, and Qingguang couldn't help hesitating.Did the teacher forget it?Immediately he was disappointed again, and he gave both hope and disappointment to the volume of poetry. Endowed with autumn colors and old sycamore trees The cool dew Yanshan is biased in autumn, Gao Wu is so pitiful, and the fallen leaves are like a cold well, and the rustling wind blows up the evening smoke.It is suspected that there is a phoenix singing and green, and I can't bear to mourn and pay the strings. The bright moonlight night window is waiting for you. Who knows Zi Yunxuan by outsiders! (poem four) In this poem, the phoenix bigan is expectation, and the plaintive strings are disappointment: from expectation to disappointment is the greatest pain.Outsiders who know Zi Yunxuan can tell the truth.Juzheng just said bitterly, you don't know each other, you don't know each other!After all, being young, he couldn't help being a little impatient.Gu Lin thought it was too early for Juzheng to be elected at the age of sixteen. If it was five or six years later, maybe he could be more calm. In fact, Xu Jie left Juzheng behind the scenes, and Juzheng had the opportunity to hear all the political secrets.In March of the forty-second year of Jiajing, Wu Weiyue was transferred to be the governor of Guizhou. In the Ming Dynasty, Guizhou was still wild. Weiyue was upset, and Juzheng told him: The teacher is extremely talented and world-renowned, and he is outstanding in the world. He is on the road and wants to take the seat. Guiyang opened a mansion, and he just borrowed it temporarily.Compared with teaching by hand, you have the heart of Dongshan, which is expected by all the talents? (Letter 15 "Answer to Mr. Wu Jiyan, Guiyang Kaifu") It can be seen here that Juzheng is speaking.What is more relevant is the matter of King Jing seizing the heir.It was 41 years after Jiajing that Xu Jie came to power. Although King Jing had returned to the vassal (forty years since Jiajing), the status of King Yu was still uncertain, so he continued to plan.Juzheng said: Xu Jie, who was originally a scholar of the Shaoshi University, was able to rectify wrongs and correct them after inheriting Yan's chaotic government, punish corrupt ink to improve people's livelihood, set scriptures and system to check marginal fees, support public opinion, reward and quote Talented and virtuous, at one time the government was well-established, the officials were often Zhensu, and Haiyu was called Zhiping, all because of their strength.At that time, the late emperor was hiding in the vassal mansion. One day, the Shimiao suddenly had doubts about the late emperor, and ordered to examine Chengzu's story about Renzong.This matter is only known to the minister Juzheng, and none of the ministers can hear it. (Zoushu Eleventh "Begging Youli Qishuo to Treat Shu with Light and Sage") Chengzu once decided to abolish the prince and establish Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty. The so-called storyteller refers to this.Xu Jie and Ju Zheng discussed the secrets of the palace, and the relationship between them is known.King Jing died in the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, which was between forty-one and forty-four years. The 42nd year of Jiajing was a difficult time, and the Japanese pirates in Fujian and Zhejiang continued to attack. Fortunately, Liu Xian, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang, several famous generals, fought several victories and stopped them.The Tatars in the north, under the leadership of Alda, attacked Xuanfu in the first month and plundered Longqing in the south.In October, Ba Du'er and Alta's son Xin Ai broke through Qiangziling and entered the bandits. Beijing was under martial law until it was lifted in November. During the period, they plundered Shunyi and Sanhe.During the Jiajing period, Beijing went through martial law several times, and this is the last one. Sejong still did not forget about the cultural relics system.In the sixteenth year of Zhengde, he came to the capital from Anlu Prefecture to ascend the throne.In the tenth year of Jiajing, Luzhou was promoted to Chengtian Mansion, and the minister of literary servants was appointed as "Chengtian Dazhi".When Xu Jie was in power, he re-edited "Chengtian Dazhi", and the bachelors Xu Jie and Yuan Wei were both the presidents of "Chengtian Dazhi".In the forty-two year, Xu Jiejian was the vice president.Juzheng left an article "Cheng Tian Da Zhi Ji Zan" (Collected Works 1), which is still a non-trivial article. (Jingxiu's "Wen Zhonggong Xingshi" said that Jiajing was the vice president in the 41st year, and just eight months after reading it, he handed out the manuscript and dedicated it to the twelfth chapter. The current case "Chengtian Dazhi" was completed in the 43rd year of Jiajing In 2011, Juzheng used the book to become an official, and the first eight months were 42 years, which should not be 41 years. The theory of the 12th century is also inconsistent with this collection.) In the forty-three years of Jiajing, "Chengtian Dazhi" was completed, and Juzheng Jinguan Youchunfang Youyude (from the fifth grade) was a lecturer in Yudi Ri.Yude is a false title, and Juzheng's position is to be a lecturer in the Prince Yu's Mansion, leaving a foundation for future officials and bachelors.It can be seen from everything that Xu Jie made a leisurely arrangement for Juzheng.Later, in the letter to Xu Jie's two sons, Juzheng repeatedly said: "The servant received the kindness of Mr. Taiweng, but he did not repay it." thanked him in the heart. Juzheng himself left the following records about what Yu Dijin said: I recalled that the emperor used to be in the residence of the vassal. Because I talked about Han Guangwu's murder of the direct minister Han Xin, I repeatedly enlightened him. It was difficult for the minister to speak, and I sighed that Guangwu, the master of the Ming Dynasty, could not accommodate Han Xin. The history of the book is very prosperous. Tired of virtue.Emperor Hormon changed his face and listened. (Zoushu 1 "Please excuse the officials to show the virtues of the saints") This is a memorial from the second year of Longqing. The so-called emperor is King Yu in the Jiajing period. "Wen Zhonggong Xingshi" states that every time the grand master speaks, he must quote the scriptures and insist on the meaning, broadly compare the Qu Yu, and the words are extremely precise, so the imperial examination (referring to King Yu) often pays attention to the grand master and pays homage, which refers to this. In the 43rd year of Jiajing, the censor Lin Run impeached Yan Shifan again, arrested Shifan and put him in prison.In the forty-fourth year, Lin Runshang committed the crimes of several generations of Tibetan father and son, and Sejong ordered the three courts to interrogate him.Shifan just said proudly, let him start a prairie fire, and he will flood the sea!His plan, as long as he admits to accepting bribes, the rest is not difficult to clear up for his guilt. It is best to mention the fact that Yan Song was involved in Shen Lian and Yang Jisheng when the Sanju was appointed.The killing of the two of them was certainly instigated by Yan Song, but both of them had received imperial edicts.As soon as it was mentioned, Sejong would be angry when he thought of the past. In this way, all the judgments will be overturned, and Shifan will not only be exonerated, but also have the possibility of receiving grace.After the plan was made, Shifan's party members just kept counting and saying, ah, it's not good!If the Sanfa Division brought up the past of Shen Lian and Yang Jisheng, Yan Shifan would die.The atmosphere in Beijing was agitated. Huang Guangsheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Yongming, Yushi of Zuodu, and Zhang Shouzhi, Minister of Dali Temple, had fallen into the trap.After the draft was finished, the three of them went to visit Xu Jie. Xu Jie already knew.Can you read the sketches of the three of you?He said. The three judges handed the manuscript to Xu Jie. Xu Jie just said that the legalists' judgments are the best, and they admire them very much.While leading the three of them into the inner room.Everyone sat down quietly, moved left and right, and closed the door. What do you guys mean, do you still want Mr. Yan to die?Still want him to live?Xu Jie asked. This is a capital offense, all three said, of course he should die. Then, when dealing with this case, he asked again, should he kill him or save him? In the memorial, the mention of Shen Lian and Yang Jisheng was the basis for his death penalty.They all said. The words are good, Xu Jie said slowly, but there is another layer of truth.Killing Shen Lian and Yang Jisheng certainly offended the world.But after Shen Lian attacked Yan Song, Yan Song put Shen Lian's name in the confession of the Bailian disciple, and he only counted as killing a Bailian disciple.This is the decree.Yang Jisheng, because of Shuzhong's call to ask the two kings Yu and Jing, Yan Song believed that the prince's decree was falsely transmitted, and the emperor was furious. He passed the decree and convicted him, and became Zhang Ben who was killed in the future.This is the emperor's special decree.The emperor is the wisest and will not admit mistakes.As soon as everyone's memorials are up, the emperor suspects that the three judges are using this to blame the emperor, and he must be furious. I'm afraid everyone will ask the crime, and Mr. Yan also went home freely.What do you guys think?Xu Jie asked again. Everyone was stunned by this question.In the end, it was decided that Xu Jie would be the main drafter, not to mention Shen Lian and Yang Jisheng, but only to say that Shifan had trafficked with Japanese pirates and conspired against them.Everything is very confidential and very agile.Finally, Shizong decreed to kill Shifan.Soon Yan Song also ransacked his home, and got more than two million taels of silver, which was almost equal to the country's total annual income at that time. Some people praised Xu Jie for eradicating the traitor, Xu Jie frowned, and said with emotion, Yan Weizhong (Song) killed Xia Gongjin (Yan), and Weizhong's son was killed by me, someone will not forgive me, my state of mind, only God only knows.Yan Song's regime has completely declined, and the entire political situation is in the hands of Xu Jie. In the forty-five years of Jiajing, Juzheng, from Youchunfang Youyude, entered the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor (from the fifth grade) and took charge of the affairs of the Imperial Academy.There was no progress in the official ranks, but the status in the Hanlin Academy was improved. "Reading in the Hanlin Academy" (Collected Works 6) is roughly the work of this year. In the middle of the forty-fourth and forty-five years there was another change in the cabinet.It was originally the cabinet of Xu Jie and Yuan Wei.In March of the 44th year, Yuan Wei was seriously ill and returned home. In April, Yan Na and Li Chunfang were replaced. In November of this year, Yan Na fell ill again, and only Xu Jie and Li Chunfang were left in the cabinet.Chunfang is a nice gentleman and everything is stable.But in March of the 45th year, Xu Jie brought in Guo Pu and Gao Gong.Since the 40th year of Jiajing, Guo Pu has been Minister of the Ministry of Officials. In terms of qualifications, he should have joined the cabinet for a long time; Xu Jie introduced it early, thinking it was a political trick.He decided that Gao Gong must be grateful to him, at least he was also a political friend.But Xu Jie was wrong. This year, Sejong was getting older, because he was sick, and he was more active in fasting and offering sacrifices, all with the goal of longevity.Ah, long life, long life!Only life is worth pursuing, and the government of the country must be borne by others, Sejong thought so.In February, Hai Rui, head of the household department, couldn't see it, so he decided to write a letter to remonstrate.Straightforward advice!All the models of direct remonstrance are there, and Sejong's court is full of blood.After Hai Rui bought the coffin and prepared for the funeral, he ordered his wife to dedicate this life to the emperor!he said generously.When he looked back, the book boy and the long attendant had all run away, disaster was imminent, they usually served the master, but now they don't need to stay, who would like to sit in prison with the master!Hai Rui nodded, he understood very well.Finally he went to school, and he still remembered the most passionate words: Your Majesty sincerely knows that fasting and sacrificial offerings are useless. Once you repent, you will be in charge of the imperial court, and you will seek the interests of the world with the prime minister and attendants, and you will wash away decades of mistakes. Ah Jun's shame, put him in the ranks of Gao Kui and Yi Fu, why worry about the world, why don't you worry about everything!This is just for His Majesty to cheer up.Explain this and not do it, but earnestly go through the world with ease, and spend all your energy trying to catch the shadows in the wind, in the realm of the unknown, the minister sees that he has worked hard all his life and finally achieved nothing. Not only was it a thrill, it was a thunderbolt!Sejong threw Hai Rui's memorial on the ground and said loudly: "Catch him, don't let him go."Huang Jin, the inner supervisor, continued: "Zou Ming Emperor, this man will not leave."He explained everything about Hai Ruishangshu's previous behavior.Shizong waited for him to pick up the memorial, read it over and over again, and sighed: "Although I am not King Zhou, I am a good person." Sejong's decline has obviously increased.Sometimes he wants to pass on the title of King Yu so that he can recover from his illness with peace of mind.He discussed with Xu Jie.He said, what Hai Rui said is not bad, but I have been ill for a long time, how can I handle the matter?Xu Jie understood that he didn't dare to persuade the emperor to abdicate, but only asked the emperor to remember his ancestor's foundation and the common people in the world.Of course, Sejong no longer talked about passing on the throne, he just focused on cultivating the mysteries.Isn't it clear?On the night of May the year before last, when Sejong was sitting in the courtyard, a fairy peach descended from the throne.The inner eunuchs could all see clearly, it came down from the sky.you do not believe?Five days later, another one came down.Isn't this a gift from heaven?Will there be fairy peaches in Beijing in the weather in May?In the future, the white rabbit gave birth to a child, and the white deer gave birth to a child again. This is Ruitu Ruilu.The Hanlin Academy has entered the memorial, don't you believe it?God's grace is abundant!Just be patient. The emperor is practicing Xuan, and the work of the Taoist priests is becoming more and more active.Wang Jin, Tao Fang, Tao Shi'en, Liu Wenbin, and Gao Shouzhong successively purchased elixirs and pills.They are Taoists, and some are doctors.Regardless of him, hasn't it been said that witch doctors have been around since ancient times?All promoted.The envoy of the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital, the Secretary of the Taichang Temple, and the Doctor of the Taichang Temple: All the officials who fasted, prayed and worshiped were given to them.However, the emperor's illness was only getting worse day by day.Except from the mouths of these Taoist priests and imperial physicians, there is no sign of recovery at all. When the emperor was seriously ill in Xiyuan, the academicians were all wandering around in their offices.In Xu Jie's Zhilu, Juzheng was often seen.They are there to plan.One day, the chief follower reported that Mr. Gao Ge had moved out of Zhilu.Xu Jie just smiled.He knew that after Gao Gong arrived at Zhilu in Xiyuan, he took his family members outside the gate of Xi'an, and secretly went back when he was free.Generally speaking, the news in the Palace these days is not good, I don't know what is on his mind, maybe he thinks there is something wrong, and he is planning to move.Xu Jie shook his head while thinking, no wonder, Su Qing (Gong) is over 50 and doesn't have a son, who can blame him for taking the time to go back? In the winter of this year, Sejong's illness became more and more serious.In December, Sejong couldn't resist Xu Jie's loyal remonstrance, and finally moved back to Da Nei Qianqing Palace.Xu Jie recalled the story about Wu Zong's death in the Leopard Room, and knew that it was a dishonorable thing for the emperor to die outside the palace, so he tried his best to persuade Sejong to return to the palace.Of course, in the middle of the coma, Sejong wouldn't know what happened.On this day, Emperor Sejong, who reigned for forty-five years, passed through countless sacrifices, served countless elixir, and also received countless blessings from God, and finally gave up sixty years in the midst of severe cold wind. And passed away. After the emperor's death, the first thing is to publish the will.In the Ming Dynasty, edicts were often written by ministers.遺詔草成的時候，皇帝早已一瞑不視，所以實際和皇帝沒有什麼交代。但是在一個渾亂的局面以後，久負重望的大臣，常常能趁皇帝逝世的當中，把前朝的一切弊政，用遺詔的名義，來一個總清算，因此在政治上，遺詔往往發生重大的影響。武宗逝世以後，楊廷和草遺詔：罷威武團練諸軍，散遣入衛邊軍，守京城九門及南北要害，罷遣番僧，釋南京逮繫罪囚，放遣四方進獻女子。這是一個最好的例證。 現在是徐階的機會了。他和居正計劃一切。在遺詔中間，他們決心要掃清嘉靖一朝的弊政。齋醮是一件，土木是一件，求珠寶、營織作也是一件，一切都用遺詔的名義停止了。嘉靖初年，追尊興獻王，朝中發生爭執，這是所謂大禮。嘉靖五年，李福達因倡彌勒佛教，誘惑愚民，被逮入京。刑部尚書顏頤壽主張殺李福達，但是武定侯郭勳為福達代辨，引起政治中的大波，這是所謂大獄。大禮、大獄兩案，連累了許多的大臣，死的已死，遣戍的遣戍，僅僅罷官遣歸的還算是大幸。徐階用遺詔的名義，把大禮、大獄兩案言事得罪諸臣一概復官。這都是世宗遺詔的德政。 一切的好感，集中到徐階身上，然而徐階忘去了同僚的高拱和郭樸。他們痛切地感到徐階的疏忽，他們的憤怒，慢慢地凝結成怨恨和仇視，終於在穆宗一朝，種下內閣紛爭的種子。
