Chapter 244 As long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down
"It seems that Mr. Zhang has also admired my Majesty for a long time!"
Yan Shifan's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said tentatively: "I am eager for talents from your Majesty. If Mr. Zhang can serve your Majesty, your Majesty will be overjoyed and will be waiting for you in a high position!"
We are not afraid that Zhang Juzheng's heart may fluctuate, but we are afraid that Zhang Juzheng is as stable as an old dog and his heart may fluctuate. If we want to poach him away, there is a possibility of success.
"I am a minister of Emperor Wanli."
"You have the right to be a loyal minister and not to interfere with the two masters. Your Majesty has great love for you. I understand it well."
"But it is absolutely impossible for me to abandon Emperor Wanli and serve His Majesty the Emperor of your dynasty."
"Although I am despicable, I am not a man who wanders around the world."
Zhang Juzheng spoke righteously and looked like a loyal minister.
He sneered secretly in his heart, Zhang Juzheng was no longer welcome in the Wanli Dynasty. He was the chief minister of the cabinet who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and had power over the government and the opposition. He would only turn to Zhu Houzhao if he had a flaw in his mind.
After being casually frightened by Yan Shifan, he turned around and went to Zhu Houzhao. He still wanted Zhang Juzheng's face.
What Wan Li did after his death made him extremely chilled, but Zhu Houzhao didn't seem to be as good as Yan Shifan said.
He had never met Zhu Houzhao, but he heard Wanli mention Zhu Houzhao more than once.
"The king is upright and the minister is virtuous?"
I would rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail!
Zhang Juzheng would not fail to understand such a simple and thorough truth.
After all, he was also a famous minister of his generation. He was loyal to Wanli, but he still had the moral integrity to be a minister.
"Your Majesty, I have great talents and great strategies, and know people well. If Mr. Zhang can serve your Majesty, you will be able to achieve your great ambitions."
Although he was scared in his heart, Zhang Juzheng still spoke harshly.
"My court is upright and my ministers are virtuous, so I have nothing to fear!"
Yan Shifan pretended to have a look of regret and hit the track while the iron was hot: "As the ancients said, good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to work."
"Your Majesty is disgusted, your colleagues are disgusted, Lord Zhang has enemies everywhere in the court. I would like to ask, is Lord Zhang sure that he can protect himself from the wolves watching?"
Zhang Juzheng admired Zhu Houzhao very much. He admired Zhu Houzhao for daring to make enemies of the world, but he was unwilling to sacrifice his life for Zhu Houzhao.
Just one treacherous and unethical sentence, "I am not a prime minister, but a photographer" can make him die without a place to bury him.
Zhang Juzheng was so startled that he broke into a cold sweat and began to breathe rapidly after asking questions repeatedly.
Yan Shifan sneered, as if he heard a big joke, took out a book from his wide sleeves, raised his hand and handed it to Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Yan Shifan coldly, but said nothing.
Zhang Juzheng understood what Yan Shifan said, but he just never wanted to face it calmly.
He did not deny that Zhu Houzhao was a very accomplished emperor, reforming and proactive. He was considered the best among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in terms of ability and courage.
Before leaving, his father Yan Song told him that as long as he could bring Zhang Juzheng back, there would be great benefits.
"What a strong-willed Mr. Zhang!"
Yan Shifan spared no effort to persuade Zhang Juzheng, as if the emperor was not in a hurry but the eunuch was.
Benevolent kings like Hong Xi, Xuande and Hongzhi were his best choices. The strong, domineering, cruel and ruthless Zhu Houzhao obviously failed to meet his criteria for choosing a master.
Only four days after Zhang Juzheng's death, he was impeached, and then his house was confiscated. His family members either starved to death or were exiled. Even Zhang Juzheng himself almost had his body dug up and whipped. The end was not miserable.
Speaking of this, Yan Shifan stopped pretending and said: "Master Zhang is very loyal to Emperor Wanli, but Emperor Wanli seems to be quite unkind to you!"
He had no great achievements in the Zhengde Dynasty, so he jumped to the top. How could the civil and military officials of the Zhengde Dynasty obey him?
He did not doubt the authenticity of the information in the book. The sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty co-occurred in the same era, and the three dynasties after Wanli must have records about him. This kind of thing would be clear after a check, and there was no need to deliberately fabricate it to deceive him.
"Why do you hesitate, Mr. Zhang? Your Majesty, I highly appreciate Mr. Zhang and deeply love Mr. Zhang's talent."
He definitely couldn't stay in Wanli Chao any longer. If he continued to stay, he would be dead sooner or later.
The book records how Wanli and the civil and military officials treated Zhang Juzheng and his family after Zhang Juzheng's death.
"Since ancient times, scholars have died for their close friends. If Mr. Zhang can serve our emperor, it will be a good story if it spreads."
Seeing that Zhang Juzheng remained silent, Yan Shifan, who had learned a lot about his father Yan Song's ability to figure out people's hearts, immediately understood that this old guy was interested, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"However, how did the monarchs and ministers of the Wanli Dynasty treat Mr. Zhang? Such a coldhearted monarch and ministers made Yan deeply feel unworthy of Mr. Zhang."
After going to the Zhengde Dynasty, could Zhu Houzhao make him the chief minister of the cabinet?
I'm afraid even the six ministerial books are impossible.
Furthermore, the sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty were in the same era. This was a time of unprecedented great strife. He had many choices. Even if he turned his back on Wanli and chose to join other emperors, he would never choose Zhu Houzhao.
Even if Wanli needs him due to changing times and may not kill him harshly, his colleagues will never let him go.
"Master Zhang is reforming and forging ahead with determination, and he has offended the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty so much that many people are eager to eat your flesh and sleep with your skin."
The radical and domineering Emperor Zhengde, who together with Hongwu and Yongle could be called the "Three Constants" of the Ming Dynasty, was not stupid.
It's just that other dynasties were busy with their own affairs and eager to stabilize the political situation, so they had no time to pay attention to him. The only Zhengde Dynasty that extended an olive branch to him, he was a little reluctant.
However, Zhu Houzhao's behavior was too cruel and ruthless, and his cold nature was even worse than that of Wanli. If his achievements had not benefited the people all over the world, he would have been labeled a tyrant and a coward long ago!
"Master Zhang served the Wanli Dynasty with all his heart and soul, and died before he died. He is not inferior to Zhuge Wuhou."
Zhang Juzheng remained silent, as heaven and man were at war in his heart.
He believed that Zhu Houzhao had too much desire for control, and he himself was also a person with a strong desire for control. If the two of them were monarchs and ministers, conflicts would arise, the monarchs and ministers would not be in harmony, and the end would be no better than working for Wanli.
He felt that even if he went too far in some things, he had done some service to the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor would not do anything to him.
After reading his miserable fate recorded in the book, Zhang Juzheng's face suddenly turned pale and he slumped down in his chair. What he was most worried about had finally happened!
However, as the thin layer of paper in his heart was pierced by Yan Shifan, he inevitably began to feel fear and fear. With what he had done, his end was indeed worrying.
The Wanli New Deal presided over by him offended too many people, civil and military officials, and too many people were looking forward to his death!
There is no place for him in the Wanli Dynasty, and he will die sooner or later. Taking refuge in the Wanli Dynasty as soon as possible to protect himself is his only way out.
Just be excited!
Yan Shifan laughed in his heart, as long as Zhang Juzheng's heart moved, he would be sure to bring Zhang Juzheng back to the Zhengde Dynasty.
As long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down.
Then a new round of lobbying began: "."
There are five constants on the earth, and there are three constants in the book, so don’t overdo it!
Chapter completed!
