When the Ming Dynasty established the system of supervising the censors, court officials once said that the three key points of governance and peace were.

The cabinet is in charge of seals, the Minister of Personnel is the Minister of Justice, and the Censor of the Left Chief Censor is the Censor of the Left Chief.

It aims to discuss politics, personnel, supervision, and balance of powers.

He was required to serve as the Thirteen Censor, and the Ministry of Personnel recommended. After that, the Censorship was re-elected and promoted and demoted to the Censorate and then reported to the Emperor.

However, the censor is not subject to the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate during his tenure. If the emperor is willing, he will supervise the promotion and use of the Censor, he will not pass through the cabinet or the Ministry of Personnel.

Therefore, the censors of the Ming Dynasty were extremely powerful, and a memorial could be heard from heaven at any time. In order to restrain censors, the censors were designated as the seventh rank of the chief ministers, so as to establish the rank and the weight of the low and use small to control the big.

Although the small ones control the big ones, the censors are not very competent.

When powerful officials such as Yan Song and Zhang Juzheng were in power, the censors didn't dare to give up any of them, but instead became accomplices.

When Zhang Juzheng returned to his hometown, the inspector censor Zhao Yingyuan refused to leave. Chen Hou, the left censor, immediately removed the inspector censor Zhao Yingyuan from his post. At that time, Wang Yongji, the Minister of Revenue, could not bear it, and wrote a letter to plead for Zhao Yingyuan, but was also stripped of his post.

When the powerful ministers were no longer in power, the censors emerged one after another, and they attacked the government and impeached ministers. They would impeach them for nothing, and they would be impeached.

Therefore, when Zhang Ju was in charge of his words, he was in charge of the words, and the censors in the Censorate did not dare to sing a bird.

Now Zhang Siwei feels that the words are out of control, it is too late.

When Zhang Siwei wanted to restrain himself, it was too late. Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Personnel, and Liang Menglong, were impeached and dismissed by censors one after another. Chen Hu, the eldest son of the Censorate, asked the emperor to retire because he was involved in Zhang Juzheng's remnants' charges.

The one who impeached Chen Xu was his subordinates and the censors in the Censorate.

Even the top leaders of the Censorate and the censors dare to impeach, and there is nothing they dare not do.

The censor had no restrictions at all. First, the censor Wei Yunzhen took advantage of the victory and sued him and wrote a letter to criticize the Ministry of Personnel. The unfair system of the Ministry of War was instructed to the cabinet ministers or the chief eunuchs in charge of seals, so that those who only knew how to please gifts were promoted, but those who were highly respected could not be promoted for a long time.

This statement seems to be very righteous and politically correct, but the warnings of the cabinet, the rank of the rank of the Ministry of Personnel are very obvious.

When Wei Yunzhen wrote a letter, Zhang Siwei was so angry that he cursed, "What does it mean to shoot himself in the foot?"

Not only that, Wei Yunzhen once again reported that he had two points: Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War. In the future, the cabinet should take it as a warning.

It's okay for this one, but the second one made Zhang Siwei faint from anger.

These two articles say that the scientific examination is the public in the world, and the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet should not use their power for personal gain and take the son of the cabinet as a Jinshi. The title of the academic qualification is not consistent with the talent and knowledge, so they should be dismissed from their official positions.

After the memorial was submitted, the clerk Ruan Zixiao was afraid that Zhang Siwei would not understand, so he directly named the name and said that Zhang Juzheng's three sons, Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Maoxiu, Lu Xingzhou, son of former cabinet minister Lu Diaoyang, and Ma Ziqiang's son Ma Qing (Zhang Siwei's son-in-law), were all high-ranking, and they should check their names and realities to calm the anger of scholars all over the world.

The censor publicly impeached Zhang Juzheng's three sons, and passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. He secretly criticized Zeng, as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, for taking Zhang Juzheng's son and his son-in-law. This move was actually a fraud in favoritism.

There is also Zhang Taizheng, the eldest son of Zhang Siwei who passed the relationship with the Jinshi. Will he also need to be eliminated?

What do you mean to be crazy? Even I beat myself up. Zhang Siwei is there all day long and shouting that things are right and the words are right and the words are right and the words are right and the words are right and the words are right and the words are right and the words are right and the people are here to destroy yours and have also tricked Zhang Siwei into it.

Zhang Siwei had to write an article to defend himself, saying that Chengzu established a cabinet to praise the affairs of the affairs of the officials, and although there were auxiliary ministers who were not virtuous... because the previous ministers were doing their own personal affairs, they wanted the ministers not to deal with officials and soldiers... This is not the ancestral system.

As for the prime minister's son who became a Jinshi, the four sons of the prime minister Han Yi of the Song Dynasty were all passed by Jinshi. I didn't hear anyone said at that time. It was not Qin Hui who took his son to show his favoritism, which was a laughing stock in the world.

Finally, I added, if you do this, I can only beg for bones.

Of course, the emperor would not let Zhang Siwei resign, so he immediately scolded Wei Yunzhen and tried to keep Zhang Siwei.

But as soon as the emperor issued the memorial, Wei Yunzhen's friend Li Sancai, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, came forward to defend Wei Yunzhen, and was scolded by the emperor and directly demoted him.

Although Zhang Siwei seemed to have won this struggle, Wei Yunzhen and Li Sancai's actions were sympathized by censors and became famous.

This is to win the face and lose the inner world.

When Zhang Siwei reached this point, he finally realized that he had lost control of the North Korean bureau.

In history, Zhang Siwei lost control of the censors and wrote in despair to his friend Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Zhejiang, in his letter, saying that the situation in the court was determined to retreat, but he did not expect that the saint would be traitorous and would not allow the servant to leave. However, the small people complained about each other, and the traitors could be ugly even if they were full of evil.

In this time and space, Zhang Siwei was in the cabinet's office and looked gray when he looked at the memorial.

It would be fine if the censors did this. Now the emperor has not only stopped him from stopping the censors, but even encouraged him.

The emperor issued an order to ask more than 20 other censors including Niu Weibing, who had previously impeached the ministers of Pan Sheng and others to be promoted to show rewards. This move was equivalent to indicating that you should not stop.

Zhang Siwei had to agree to this decree, because Niu Weibing and others were his disciples of Zhang Siwei. It was thanks to them that they impeached Pan Sheng and others before.

Zhang Siwei couldn't help but close the book and sighed: "The resentment is like a boiling fire, this assistant is really a burning fire."

When Dong Zhongshu saw Zhang Siwei asking, "Prince, can there be room for improvement for the current plan?"

"It is difficult, unless the Holy will changes, but now you see, the Holy Lord encourages these censors to criticize the court affairs and impeach the court officials."

When Dong Zhongshu heard this, he said, "The Lord, because Zhang Wenzhong's prime minister was too powerful before, he wanted to introduce the speech platform to curb the meaning of the power department of the cabinet. The censors got the intention of the saint, so they were out of control. The prime minister had to re-squeeze the speech platform for the present plan, otherwise how could you have room for speech in the future?"

Zhang Siwei said: "It is difficult. If I ask Your Majesty to re-stop the speech, I will resign myself. Those powerful censors will turn around and attack Benfu. This is what Lin Zonghai said, "Hea is the one who will hurt others and hurt others. But if the words continue like this, I am afraid that the position of the assistant will not be guaranteed in the future, and I will be punished for being severely punished."

"The Prime Minister doesn't have to worry about this. Didn't Your Majesty issue an order to keep it?"

Zhang Siwei shook his head and said, "The holy heart is unpredictable. Today, Japan is assisting Zhang Wenzhong and is working hard. If he has such a difficulty in assisting him, will Shen Wu County do his best for me?"

Dong Zhongshu is worthy of being Zhang Siwei's number one military advisor. After thinking for a long time, he made a plan and said: "Prince, Lin Zonghai had expected that the situation of the out of control of the Taiwan Strait was, why not ask him about this? Even if he had no choice, he could use this to throw a stone to ask for directions and ask Shen Wu County what he meant? See if he could repair it with Shen Wu County."

Zhang Siwei's eyes lit up and said, "This is Gao Ce. You should immediately send a letter to Lin Zonghai for Benfu and ask him to come to Benfu's mansion tonight."

When Zhang Siwei sent the letter to Lin Mansion, the servants of Lin Mansion did not dare to neglect them and immediately sent it to Lin Yanchao who was in Shenshixing Mansion.

For more than a month, Shen Shixing has been ill.

He did not ask about Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao's one-party liquidation. In fact, everyone knows his embarrassment. If Shen Shixing is in the cabinet, will he handle the liquidation against Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng's remaining party?

On the one hand, it is Zhang Juzheng's old kindness, and on the other hand, it is the emperor's meaning.

So Shen Shixing still took a break at home. While resting, Shen Shixing also wrote a letter to the emperor that he was sick and did not have a director in the cabinet. He was really embarrassed and begged to resign.

The emperor said that you should still pay the salary, and sir, just be relieved at home with peace of mind.

The emperor wanted to protect Shen Shixing, but all the officials could not figure out the emperor's intentions. In the past few days, Shen Shixing's courtyard has been quiet, and all the officials who come to visit him on a constant stream have disappeared.

Only Lin Yanchao is in and out as usual.

After reading the letter, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but smile and handed it to Shen Shixing: "Zhang Puzhou already regrets."

After seeing this, Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "It's difficult. If Zhang Puzhou had heard you, there was still something to do about this matter. But now Yan Dao has already held authority, how could he return this power and both hands to return it?"

"Yes, since ancient times, it has been easy to let go but difficult to accept power." Lin Yanchao said.

After pausing, Lin Yanchao asked, "What are the insights of mentors?"

Shen Shixing said: "The only thing to turn the world around now is the holy will. As long as your Majesty says, you can still suppress the effect of slandering. But Your Majesty still wants to continue to settle the party, so why would you let the slandering stop at this time?"

"Apart from that, even if you want to collect power, who will say this? Zhang Siwei is not good. He will break his promise and become fat. I am not good either. He is in a suspicious place. If he makes a statement, His Majesty will think that I am speaking for the Chu party."

Lin Yanchao said: "After all, Zhang Puzhou is not as good as Xu Huating."

Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "It's not Zhang Puzhou that is not as good as Xu Huating, but today's emperor is not as good as Emperor Shizong."

Shen Shixing hit this sentence, and Lin Yanchao was silent for a long time.

Then Lin Yanchao said: "Mr., the student wants to say this for Zhang Siwei."

Shen Shixing sighed, "I have expected that you will do this."

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, in fact, the student wants to ask the student, but he really wants to ask his mentor. There is also the intention of practicing with your mentor."

Shen Shixing nodded and smiled: "This is worthy of being a great disciple of me. If you see things thoroughly, then you will tell Zhang Siwei what I want."

After the agreement, Shen Shixing sent Lin Yanchao out and said, "I didn't expect that I would not want to do this. In the end, you still have to deal with it. You have figured out the consequences."

Lin Yanchao said: "The student has made up his mind and has never regretted it even though he has died."

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "If I have a day to make a comeback in the future, I will never forget your kindness today."

Lin Yanchao said: "My teacher and I are like father and son, and I am willing to work hard for this."

Lin Yanchao went to Zhang Siwei's mansion that night.

Zhang Siwei condescended to the second gate to welcome Lin Yanchao. As soon as he met, he took Lin Yanchao's hand and said regretfully: "I regret not listening to Zong Hai's words, otherwise I would have what I am today."

After hearing what Zhang Siwei said, Lin Yanchao was amused and crying.

ps: In history, Wei Yunzhen reported impeachment because Zhang Siwei's second son Zhang Jiazheng and Shen Shixing's eldest son Shen Yongmao passed the Jinshi. The book put the time forward.

There is also a year and a half of history when Zhang Juzheng's liquidation was carried out. In order to make the plot tight, this book was written in a short time. Despite this, the rhythm is still quite slow. Please forgive me!
