Zhu Yijun actually wanted to see how Zhang Juzheng would choose. After all, it was Queen Dowager Li's idea. If he didn't agree or insisted, Queen Dowager Li would be embarrassed.
"I'll go back and ask the Supreme Court to bring him back. As for this case, I think it's better to let the three departments jointly try it!"
"On the one hand, it's fair and just. On the other hand, it's not easy to make mistakes. If Eunuch Chang is willing, the people from Dongchang can also come," Zhang Juzheng said as he turned to look at Zhang Jing with a smile on his face.
Zhu Yijun smiled faintly. Why did it sound so familiar?
After thinking for a while, Zhu Yijun understood.
In the case of the Minister Of The Crown, Zhang Juzheng used the three departments to dig a trap for Feng Bao. Now Zhang Juzheng was using the same trick. Obviously, he was going to dig a trap for Zhang Jing.
The trick was not old, as long as it worked.
Zhu Yijun didn't look back. He also wanted to see what Zhang Jing was going to do.
It wasn't enough to bite people, but also to have a brain. Idiots would do bad things.
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Minister Zhang is the teacher of the Imperial Majesty. Everyone in the court knows that Minister Zhang is strict and fair. He never plays favoritism. Of course, I trust Minister Zhang.
I believe that Grand Elder Zhang will be able to satisfy the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. "
"Dongchang won't get involved. It's good to let the three departments jointly try it. Dongchang can do something else."
The meaning of Zhang Jing's words was very obvious. He made it clear that he would not jump into it. Only a fool would get entangled with Zhang Juzheng endlessly.
At the same time, he also used words to provoke Zhang Juzheng. "Do it well, I'm watching you!"
That wasn't the key. It was Zhang Jing's last sentence. If the first sentence was a deterrence, then the second sentence was a threat.
What else could Dongchang do?
He continued to investigate.
Anyway, Dongchang has nothing to do. I'll just keep an eye on you and see if we can find more people in Dongchang or you, Zhang Juzheng, can manage more people.
Hearing Zhang Jing's words, Zhang Juzheng's face darkened as he stared at Zhang Jing with a gloomy expression.
"Since that's the case, let's disperse!"
Queen Dowager Li saw that the two of them had reached an agreement, so she waved her hand and said. When everyone else went out, Queen Dowager Li waved her hand and signaled the palace maids and eunuchs to go out as well, "You can go out too!"
When only she and Zhu Yijun were left in the hall, Queen Dowager Li stopped twisting the rosary beads with her fingers.
Looking up at Zhu Yijun, Queen Dowager Li said in a low and gentle voice, "What do you want to do?
Do you want to drive your Master Zhang home?
Or do you want Zhang Jing to arrest your Master Zhang and send him to the Imperial Bodyguard's Zhao Prison? "
As the Empress Dowager in the palace, Queen Dowager Li didn't doubt this matter. She directly targeted Zhu Yijun.
Before Zhu Yijun could speak, Queen Dowager Li continued, "Or do you want to govern by yourself?"
Zhu Yijun wasn't surprised that Queen Dowager Li could see through his thoughts. He was afraid that Zhang Juzheng could see through it too.
This was also one of Zhu Yijun's goals. Zhu Yijun was 15 years old now. He was an adult. No matter how he wanted to downplay this matter, it was impossible. The Emperor was an adult!
No one could ignore this matter, whether it was inside or outside the palace.
The new policy was about to start. Zhu Yijun would definitely make Zhang Juzheng do what he did in history. If he really did that, when he took over the government, he might also settle accounts with Zhang Juzheng.
Only then could he take back his power.
Many times, many things couldn't be done if you wanted to or not done if you didn't want to.
No matter how well the predecessor did, or how talented the people left behind were, a new official still needed to promote his confidants after taking office.
This was the so-called "a new emperor has a new court of courtiers".
If Zhang Juzheng really succeeded in suppressing the Emperor with the power of the Prime Minister, it was absolutely impossible not to settle accounts with him. If he didn't settle accounts with him, the new Emperor wouldn't be able to sit firmly.
Jiaqing killed He Shen not only for He Shen's money, but also because of this relationship. If he wanted to take back power, settling accounts with Zhang Juzheng was the fastest way.
Zhu Yijun didn't want to do this. For this reason, he had to test. If this test failed, Zhu Yijun would take advantage of the upcoming love stealing incident to directly take Zhang Juzheng home.
Although the new policy might be interrupted, Zhu Yijun didn't care.
Comparing two evils, he had to choose the lesser. If he really let Zhang Juzheng do what he did in his previous life, it would be really irreconcilable.
He could fully support his reform, his ambition, and even if he wanted to be famous in history, he could give it to him. But some things couldn't be given.
Once you gave it out, it wouldn't be easy to get it back.
Looking up at Queen Dowager Li, Zhu Yijun smiled and said lightly, "Then what does Mother think I should do?"
Queen Dowager Li was stunned. She didn't expect that Zhu Yijun not only didn't defend himself, but also admitted it calmly. Staring at Zhu Yijun for a long time, Queen Dowager Li sighed softly and said, "For so many years, Master Zhang has been supporting the Daming's country."
"You are still young. It's not too late to take charge of the government after you are 30!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Queen Dowager Li. This Queen Dowager Li still said this. He understood what Queen Dowager Li meant and said with a smile, "Wait for Master Zhang to die?"
These words were not polite at all, but there was a faint smile on Zhu Yijun's face, and his tone was unusually gentle. "Mother, the country is Daming's, and the world belongs to the Zhu family. If the Zhu family can't make decisions, then the country is no longer Daming's, and the world is no longer the Zhu family's!"
"Master Zhang has made great contributions, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he has the same contributions as Zhuge Wuhou, but some things can't cross the line."
"A ruler is a ruler, and a subject is a subject. I want Master Zhang to be Zhuge Wuhou, not Cao Cao!"
Queen Dowager Li stared at Zhu Yijun, and her face was gloomy. She took a long breath and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that my son has really grown up. Then I want to ask, what do you want?"
"I just want to take back something, something that belongs to the Emperor, that's all!"
Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry, I won't do anything to Master Zhang. This has nothing to do with Master Zhang."
"It's just that he is the head of the civil officials, the Prime Minister, and I am the Emperor, the Daming's Son of Heaven."
Queen Dowager Li listened to Zhu Yijun's words and heard that he would not do anything to Zhang Juzheng. She was slightly relieved, but she still had no confidence in her heart.
For a moment, Queen Dowager Li felt that her son was a little strange.
There was a kind of sadness that her son had grown up, and there was also a kind of worry that her son would do something out of line.
"Remember, your Master Zhang has done his best for the Daming. You can't let your Master Zhang down!"
Queen Dowager Li looked at Zhu Yijun and said. The expression on her face was very serious, and her attitude was very firm.
