To rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, to praise him, and at the same time to expose those who were implicated by Zhang Juzheng. This is clearly an attempt to reform!
They are all old Onmyojis, and they are all old masters.
There are many benefits to supporting Zhang Juzheng's approach. First, it publicizes their official proposition. To use a term from later generations among gangsters, this is called raising the flag, which means that from today on, they will have their place in the underworld.
If we put this statement in the context of the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, then it is very appropriate. If we flatten the timeline and compare each generation of the cabinet to a font size, then we can understand it.
Of course, some font sizes are not very good, such as the paper-made "Three Elders".
At this moment, if Han Yu and his three companions establish the brand of innovation, there will be many benefits.
First of all, they had their own names displayed in the court, which proved that they had their own policies and ideas, and did not completely agree with the emperor, and did not just flatter him without doing anything.
In this way, the reputation of the three cabinet ministers being made up of paper can be avoided.
Secondly, with this prefix, you can gather many people under your command.
Those who joined the three cabinet ministers might have a bad reputation, so they would be hesitant. But joining the reformists was different. The word "reform" has always represented radicalism and sacrifice in all dynasties. Instead, it would appear to be good for the country and even more fearless.
Finally, Han Yu and his group can use reform to attack the opposition. Anyone who disagrees with us is part of the old party and should be eliminated.
Zhu Youxiao was not surprised that Han Yu and others could think of this.
Having spent their entire lives in officialdom, and since the four of them were not idiots, they could naturally find the point that best suited their own interests.
What Zhu Youxiao didn't expect was that the four of them actually united so quickly. This didn't seem to be a good sign.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao said, "What you said makes sense. This is indeed what we should do."
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Han Yu and the other three finally showed an expression of relief on their faces.
This is actually a test to see if Your Majesty is opposed to reform. At present, judging from the attitude Your Majesty has shown, it is clear that Your Majesty is not opposed to reform.
Seeing the four people breathing a sigh of relief, Zhu Youxiao sneered in his heart.
It’s a nice thought, but you guys are the ones who should take all the limelight?
This kind of thing won't do. I have to do something to win people's hearts.
Zhu Youxiao then said, "Build a temple in the capital to commemorate Zhang Juzheng. Once the temple is completed, I will personally go there and place Zhang Juzheng's portrait inside the temple."
Zhu Youxiao said in a firm tone: "Such a good minister has suffered such injustice. I will go there in person to comfort them."
After hearing His Majesty's words, the four of them wanted to object but had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Okay, now that we've talked about things, follow me to see what's going on." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, then stood up and walked straight out.
Han Yu and the other three certainly knew what their Majesty was going to do, and they looked helpless both on their faces and in their hearts.
Your Majesty is still a young man after all, and you really can't stand any kind of anger.
At this time, it is actually not appropriate for Your Majesty to go outside the Western Garden, especially with the four of you.
But seeing Your Majesty's resolute attitude, we have to go.
Han Yu and the other three had no choice but to follow His Majesty.
His Majesty's temper also made them understand that they should be careful in doing things in the future. His Majesty is not only narrow-minded, but also holds grudges. The key is that he has a strong desire for revenge.
When the group arrived at the gate of Xiyuan, the place was still noisy.
Wei Zhongxian was leading people to persuade them to leave, so it was obvious that he couldn't take action right away.
However, the effect was not very good. The quarrel became louder and louder, and the emotions of both sides became more and more excited.
Finally, Wei Zhongxian took a step forward, his cold face forced into a creepy smile, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you planning to force the emperor to abdicate?"
After these words came out, the scene instantly became quiet.
The term "forcing abdication" can be a big deal or a small one.
Even to put it mildly, it was a serious crime. For a minister to force the emperor to abdicate was a crime punishable by beheading.
One of the men standing in the front shouted loudly: "You eunuch, how dare you bark and accuse us here? We are speaking to His Majesty, how can this be considered forcing him to abdicate?"
"I'm telling you, the Ming Dynasty is not a place where a eunuch like you can rule arbitrarily!"
The man had a very loud voice, and after he shouted, everyone around him started shouting as well, and some even tended to move forward.
If it's not controlled, it will probably rush into the palace.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong beside him and asked expressionlessly, "Who is that person?"
"Your Majesty, this person is Chen Qing." Chen Hong said hurriedly.
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
It wasn't surprising that it was this person.
Zhu Youxiao then asked, "Have you found any clues about what the Jinyiwei have been investigating? Why haven't they reported it yet?"
"Your Majesty, we have found out some things." Chen Hong said with a bow.
"This Chen Qing is from Hangzhou Prefecture, and he's been quite honest in his official duties over the years. He's been well-read since childhood and has a certain reputation among scholars. He's a rather aloof person, and he enjoys speaking freely."
As Chen Hong spoke, he looked at Zhu Youxiao cautiously, fearing that he would anger his own emperor.
As Chen Hong described it, Zhu Youxiao probably had an image in his mind.
It is obvious that Chen Qing is a person who has become stupid because of reading too much, and he is a talker. He has anger and passion in his heart, but he uses it in the wrong place.
