The training of the military camp in the capital had begun, but this news did not set off much public opinion in the capital, because an even more explosive news came out. The emperor had ordered Zhang Juzheng to return to the capital, and the decree had already reached the Cabinet.
Those who supported it rejoiced, while those who opposed it were grief-stricken. But everyone knew that Zhang Juzheng's return to the court was unstoppable.
There were now four ministers in the Cabinet, and none of them would oppose Zhang Juzheng's return to the court. Since the decree had reached the Cabinet, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
Sure enough, the Cabinet soon drafted an imperial edict, officially summoning Zhang Juzheng back to the court.
The new Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Guoguang, also wrote a letter to express his position at the first time, and the whole matter was completely settled.
In the Forbidden City, Zhu Yijun listened to Zhang Jing's report to him one by one, and the expression on his face did not change at all.
His own things were almost done, and it was time to let Zhang Juzheng come back to finish what he had not finished.
"Okay, no need to say more!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Jing's report.
Things also progressed very quickly. After the decree arrived in Jiangling, although Zhang Juzheng submitted a memorial to refuse, after two rounds, Zhang Juzheng set off and left his hometown in Jiangling, officially heading to the capital of Daming.
In fact, many people were worried about Zhang Juzheng's return. After all, because of the affair of stealing love, it was very serious.
It was fine if Zhang Juzheng did not come back, but if Zhang Juzheng came back, it would be really troublesome.
Zhu Yijun did not care what these people thought. Now he was looking at the information of another person, and this person was Wang Yongji.
Last time, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Jing to investigate him, and now the results of the investigation were on Zhu Yijun's table.
"Tell me about it!" Zhu Yijun didn't flip through the documents, but asked Zhang Jing directly.
"Yes, Imperial Majesty!" Zhang Jing bowed and said, "Wang Yongji, courtesy name Ming Shou, from Jinjiang.
I sent people to Jinjiang to investigate. Although the Wang family is not considered rich, they are well-off. They are usually kind to their neighbors and are charitable. "
Zhu Yijun nodded. In fact, scholars in this era did not come from poor families. If they were poor, they would not be able to afford to study.
Unless he was like Hai Rui, with a widowed mother supporting his education, he really came from the lowest rung of society.
Perhaps it was because of this experience that Hai Rui had a deep hatred for corrupt officials and had no good impression of aristocratic families.
He came from a poor background, so he had to be worthy of the books he studied. That was why he was called Hai Gangfeng.
In fact, many people criticized Hai Rui, but Zhu Yijun did not think so. There were not many good gentry in this era. Even if they came from aristocratic families, it was common for them to oppress the common people. This was the ethos of the entire society.
Most of the time, they would not leave the beginning and the end. Even if you knew that they were immoral and did bad things, you could not do anything about it.
Hai Rui might be a little extreme by saying that he would rather oppress the rich than the poor, but to a large extent, he protected the good people who were oppressed.
As for some people making false accusations, Zhu Yijun did not think that people in this era had the guts to do so.
Accusing the poor to be rich was not an easy thing to do in any era, let alone in the Daming Dynasty. There were a hundred ways to force your family to death.
If it wasn't for the fact that they could not live anymore, or if they were wronged, would they have the guts to do so?
Even if there were people making false accusations, it would not be many.
Zhu Yijun also did not believe that Hai Rui would be so muddle-headed as to accuse people. No matter what, Hai Rui had grown up from the bottom.
He hated evil and had a fiery temper, but such a person was not a fool. He grew up at the bottom and knew how the powerful bullied the common people!
"Wang Yongji did not have any bad records when he was studying, but he had a firm character and dared to speak his thoughts.
The Old Slave found out that when the Japanese pirates were in the southeast, Wang Yongji's hometown was also attacked by Japanese pirates. The imperial court sent many troops to exterminate the Japanese pirates. "
"At that time, these foreign troops were tyrannical and alarmed. When the imperial court's imperial messenger went there, Wang Yongji, who was still a scholar, met the imperial messenger and told him about this matter.
At that time, the magistrate asked Wang Yongji, 'What does this matter have to do with you?' "
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun sighed helplessly.
"Wang Yongji said, 'When Fan Xiwen was a scholar, he took the world as his responsibility. The disaster of the well in the countryside had nothing to do with other people.'
The Old Slave also asked many people. When Wang Yongji was studying, he looked up to Fan Zhongyan as a role model and admired his concern for the country and the people. "
Zhu Yijun knew a little about the foreign troops causing trouble. The main reason was that they had no money.
To fight far away from home was, to put it bluntly, risking their lives. But the imperial court was short of money and there was no pension. These people could not even eat. How could they not cause trouble? Later, it developed to the point where they ate and dashed on the streets, alarming the imperial court.
At that time, the imperial court had no money. If it had money, it would have been taken by Yan Song. If not, it would have been used by the Jiajing Emperor to refine pills.
The Jiajing Emperor might not be bad at scheming, but he really spent a lot of money to refine pills and burn down the palace.
The money used to rebuild the palace was used to train soldiers to exterminate the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates had long been subdued.
Coupled with Yan Song's party, it was really a dark age!
"Did you find any misdeeds?" Zhu Yijun came back to his senses. Seeing that Zhang Jing did not speak, he continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, no misdeeds were found. In the second year of Longqing, Wang Yongji became a Jinshi and was given the title of Prefect of Huai 'an.
He was slightly moved to Changde Tongzhi and became the Vice Minister of Revenue.
The evaluation of the Ministry of Appointments was good, and there was no evidence of corruption or bribery. "
Zhu Yijun nodded. This was really not easy in this era.
First, his family was rich and could afford his expenses. Second, he was a very upright person. Otherwise, how could he not be greedy?
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "See if there are any vacancies in Nanjing. Arrange for it to be sent to Nanjing!"
Zhang Jing almost thought he heard wrong. After spending so much effort to investigate, he was sent directly to Nanjing?
However, he did not dare to ask and hurriedly said, "Yes, Old Slave will immediately arrange it. Imperial Majesty, is this official position promoted or …?"
"Promoted!" Zhu Yijun did not even think before saying, "He is now the Vice Minister of Revenue. Promote him to a Doctor!"
The Ministry of Revenue had thirteen departments. Since the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one Doctor to manage matters.
The Vice Minister and the Manager could only attend on the day of the appointment. In reality, they were only nominal.
To put it bluntly, Wang Yongji was just idling away his days.
"Is there any problem with Wang Yongji's promotion?" After saying this, Zhu Yijun suddenly asked.
According to Wang Yongji's experience as an official, from a Prefect to a Vice Minister was a normal promotion. According to the official circles, he should be promoted to a prefectural magistrate. No matter what, he should not run to the Ministry of Revenue to be a nominal Vice Minister!
"Imperial Majesty, this Dongchang was not found. How about Old Slave check it out?" Zhang Jing hurriedly said.
