Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the next few days, the situation in Beijing changed dramatically.

    First, on the 21st, Xianggong Zhang wrote to resign for the fifth time, and even begged for his bones on the grounds of serious illness. His words were decisive and could not be repeated.

    ?Then the 22nd day of the imperial ceremony was temporarily canceled, which disappointed the melon-eating crowd who were eager to watch the excitement.

    On the same day, the Di newspaper published the confessions of Deng, Xiong, Zou and Shen.  All four admitted that they were instigated and used by others. They originally had good intentions, but ended up causing chaos, and expressed their willingness to accept all punishments to atone for their sins.

    On it, Emperor Wanli wrote: "If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."  The first culprit must be punished to rectify people's hearts!  ¡¯

    Although it is not stated explicitly, the blind man can see that all the responsibility belongs to Aimu.

    What is intriguing is that no one came to the rescue this time

    This clear signal showed that officials accepted the compromise proposed by Zhao Shilang on behalf of Zhang Xianggong.

    From Zhang Juzheng to Zhao Shouzheng, from Queen Mother Li to Princess Dachang, everyone was relieved.

    On October 25, Emperor Wanli finally issued an edict and agreed to release Mr. Zhang to return to his hometown, but "he will not be buried without any worries, and he will not be removed from his position when his salary is suspended."

    "And the emperor took pity on Mr. Zhang, Yuanfu, and resigned from his salary.  He was usually clean and honest, but feared that he would not have enough money. He sent a table of wine and food to the Guanglu Temple every day, and each yamen sent ten shi of rice, three hundred kilograms of sesame oil, thirty kilograms of tea, one hundred kilograms of salt, and one hundred yellow and white candles to each yamen every month.  Twenty loads of sticks and firewood, thirty bags of charcoal, until the day is full.  ¡¯

    Good guy, I sent more than normal.

    But this time, the officials in the capital did not get angry again, but calmly accepted the decision.  Once again, the people who watched the excitement and did not mind the incident were shocked.

    However, there was some noise in the local area. Some members of the Imperial Household Council submitted a letter asking Zhang Juzheng to be the real Ding You. Some people pretended to be Hai Rui and wrote a "Shutu on Zhang Juzheng", which was widely circulated among the people.

    At first, when Mr. Zhang heard that Hai Rui was going to fuck him, he was so nervous that his hemorrhoids got worse.  However, the official asked the North-South General Affairs Department and found that they had not received any memorial from Hai Rui at all.  Zhang Juzheng just relaxed his chrysanthemums and realized that it was a false alarm.

    Although he disliked Hai Rui very much, he also knew that for an upright person like Hai Gangfeng, if he wanted to scold him, he would definitely impeach him directly, and he would never write an article privately and spread it everywhere.

    The lethality of these folk rumors and noises to him is approximately zero.  Without Zhang Xianggong's words, the prefects and counties in various places would severely punish him, and there would be no waves at all.

    On the last day of October, the results of the treatment of the Five Gentlemen came out.

    Deng Yizan, Xiong Dunpu, Shen Shenxiao and Zou Yuanbiao thought that their intentions were not bad, but they were young and ignorant, and they were taken advantage of by evil people, so they only received light punishment and were allowed to sharpen their minds outside.

    Aimu became the main culprit who instigated this petition due to personal grudges. He was ordered to give a hundred sticks and was sent to the border areas without pardon.

    But Empress Dowager Li issued a decree to remove him from the imperial staff and only allowed him to go to Yunnan to atone for his sins.  Both the government and the public praised the Queen Mother for her kindness.

    However, Aimu never made it to Yunnan.  In the spring of the next year, he died suddenly on the way to distribution.

    It¡¯s just that once the heat is over, no one cares about the life or death of an old judge anymore

    ??~~

    It was the winter moon in a blink of an eye, and the pale light of the great comet was still shining directly toward the northeast.

    After Zhao Hao stopped letting Pang Xian interfere, Mr. Zhang's health improved greatly.  After all, it's just a hemorrhoid. Wouldn't it make people suspicious if it was delayed for too long?

    However, Zhang Juzheng did not leave the capital, because the emperor ordered him to wait until the spring wedding before setting off, so that he could maintain his health and be able to travel all the way.

    This just gave Mr. Zhang the opportunity to calmly arrange the situation and firmly control the situation of the court

    On the tenth day of the winter lunar month, the imperial court attracted the attention of both the government and the public.

    One hundred and ten officials of the fifth rank or above from the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, Dali Temple, and the General Affairs Department gathered in the East Pavilion to jointly recommend candidates for the cabinet bachelor, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of War.

    ¡°Because there are so many people and high-ranking officials in the nomination this time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent the candidate list to all ministries and agencies seven days in advance, so that the officials participating in the nomination can have time to reconcile Oh no, think carefully.

    So everyone already knows who to vote for today.  As a result, the voting process of the two departments ended quickly, and then Zhao Jin, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who was temporarily in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, publicly presided over the counting of votes.

    The final candidates announced are:

    The Minister of Personnel recommended Wang Guoguang first, Zhao Jin second, and Li Youzi second.

    The Minister of the Ministry of War first recommended Fang Fengshi, then Zhao Jin, and again Zhang Xueyan.

    Among them, the elder brother Zhao Jin was the runner-up on both sides. Although he had to respectfully ask the superiors for the result, he knew in his heart that there was no chance for both sides this time.  But it looks better this way, and it can also give yourself moreThird, the cabinet also needs such a person to do some dirty work

    "It's getting late, and there will be plenty of opportunities to chat in the future." Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, stopping Mr. Zhao and Shen Shixing from continuing to express their loyalty.  In his eyes, these two are his pawns, and there is no need for this trick.

    "Let's talk about your division of labor first," Mr. Zhang continued in his usual vigorous and resolute manner: "When Bu Gu is away, the second assistant will be in charge of cabinet affairs. But Mr. Lu Ge seems to be seriously ill. If Bu Gu returns next spring,  After returning to the countryside, if he still can't come back to take charge of the affairs, Gong Qian'an will be in charge."

    "As ordered." Ma Ziqiang is the third assistant, the boss is no longer the second, so of course he is the leader.

    "In addition, the imperial court's top priority in the next two years is river construction. Now that all funds and materials have been raised, the Yellow River must be repaired!" Zhang Juzheng said without doubt: "So the affairs of the Ministry of Industry must also be borne by Lao Gan'an.  Woke up!"

    "Dare you disobey me?" Ma Ziqiang hurriedly responded respectfully, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, because the affairs of the Ministry of Industry were always managed by the lowest-ranked cabinet minister.  However, since Mr. Zhang had spoken, he could only accept the order obediently.

    ?????????????????????? It turns out those two are the real ones, and I am just making up the numbers
