Zhang Juzheng's death was really a piece of news that made the people in the court unsurprising. If it was when Zhang Juzheng was just sick, it would be fine at that time. After all, at that time, Zhang Juzheng had just had a serious illness, and no matter whether it was his body or complexion, he could not see it. At that time, not to mention how many people in the court hoped that he would not get up like this, at least at that time, if Zhang Juzheng passed away, no one would have expressed any surprise.

But now, Zhang Juzheng's health is getting better and better, obviously in good maintenance. Now, although Zhang Juzheng has changed his way of dealing with people in the court, Zhang Juzheng is still a hindrance to those people. However, no one would think that Zhang Juzheng would leave just like that. Therefore, the bad news about Zhang Juzheng this time really surprised these people in the court, making them even wonder what to do.

However, no matter how surprised they were by this matter, they would not ask whether they could react. The most important thing now is that Zhang Juzheng is dead, and since Zhang Juzheng is dead, there are many things to do.

Of course, as the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng's position in the court is of great importance, and this is naturally unquestionable. After hearing this news, Zhu Yijun was shocked, and even stopped courting for a day to show his sadness. However, it was not bad to say that many unpleasant things happened between Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng. Fortunately, at the last moment, Zhang Juzheng still changed. This reform also made Zhu Yijun return to the mood he had faced him again. Therefore, Zhu Yijun is really sad about Zhang Juzheng's death.

No matter what Zhang Juzheng had done, at least he did give a lot for the Ming Dynasty, and what he paid was not in vain, it was practical. In this regard, Zhu Yijun felt sad about Zhang Juzheng's death, and there was nothing to say.

Perhaps the only person in the court who was not too surprised by this matter was Zhang Fan. After all, before Zhang Juzheng passed away, he told Zhang Fan about this matter. Although Zhang Fan should not believe this matter, he could not let it go. Therefore, this matter can be said to have been lingering in Zhang Fan's heart all the time. When the news of Zhang Juzheng's death came, Zhang Fan suddenly had a thought that was indeed the case.

Now that Zhang Juzheng has indeed passed away, this incident really makes Zhang Fan feel a little unreliable.

But no matter what, a person is dead, whether it is shocked or not, sad or happy. In short, a person cannot be resurrected by death. Since he is dead, there is no way to turn things around.

Zhang Juzheng roared, and Zhu Yijun also attached great importance to him. He was posthumously named Wen Zhong and was given the title of Shangzhu Guo. Yin Yi's son was the Chief of Shangbao Sicheng and was rewarded with 500 taels of silver. This was also a very high honor at that time.

But for Zhang Juzheng, these honors that can only be obtained after death are just vanity and have no effect on him. In fact, for Zhang Juzheng, he would never be willing to die like this. Although he did a lot of things in the court and achieved results, it is obvious that such things are not enough at any time. People always hope for more and will never stop because of this.

Therefore, although Zhang Juzheng had expected his death before, and he was very calm and not afraid at all. But even so, for Zhang Juzheng, he actually wanted to live a few more years! Living a few more years means that he can be in the court for more years. If he is in the court for more years, it means that he can do more things.

But now, Zhang Juzheng is dead. No matter what his thoughts had before, it is impossible to realize them now.

Zhang Juzheng had accomplished a lot of things in the court, but at the same time, he also had many of his own ideas, and his soul returned to heaven with his unfinished ideas.

Zhang Juzheng's death is indeed a major event that shocked the court and the people. But no matter how big this matter is, Zhang Juzheng is the chief minister of the cabinet, and this is a very important position and must not be short of people. Therefore, even if Zhang Juzheng's death is such a big thing, for the court, the position of chief minister cannot be vacant for one day. Therefore, after Zhang Juzheng's death, the most important thing is to immediately select the position of the chief minister.

Although the position of chief minister is extremely important, it naturally needs to be taken seriously when selecting people. But even so, that kind of thing will actually be like this only when the new emperor ascends the throne. For the Wanli Dynasty, which has been ten years old, there is actually no need to consider who will take over Zhang Juzheng's position.

That's right, it's naturally Zhang Siwei. Among the six people in the cabinet, Zhang Siwei is naturally second only to Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Siwei, who is second only to him, is well deserved. It's not that Zhang Juzheng has the greatest power, so other cabinet ministers will not speak. No, in fact, the only person who can stand up and talk to Zhang Juzheng, or even dare to say oppose Zhang Juzheng, is actually Zhang Siwei in the cabinet.

In short, after Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Siwei naturally became the chief minister of the cabinet. His official title was immediately added to the Ministry of Personnel and the Grand Secretary of the Zhongji Palace. For a moment, Zhang Siwei became a new generation of rulers in the court.

I want to add a sentence here. In fact, for the emperor, the cabinet is very embarrassing. Of course, in terms of helping the emperor govern the country, the cabinet really put in a lot of effort. Even for the current Ming Dynasty, there can be no emperor, but it must not be no cabinet. This shows the importance of the cabinet.

But the problem is that the cabinet is so important, so the emperor has fewer restrictions on him. Even now, the emperor has no way to restrict the cabinet, but he is restricted by the cabinet.

Therefore, in fact, every time the dynasty changes, the new emperor ascends the throne, and ascends to the throne as a child like Zhu Yijun, will not be said to those who ascend to the throne when they are young, but those who have grown up actually have some ideas about the cabinet. Even if there is no way to remove the cabinet, at least, they all want to strengthen their control over the cabinet as the emperor. But obviously, no emperor has ever succeeded.

Now, Zhang Siwei has been replaced by Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Siwei is indeed slightly worse than Zhang Juzheng in some places. However, Zhang Siwei is more good at being an official and a person. Especially when observing the political situation, he is even more comparable to Zhang Juzheng. What’s even more different is that sometimes even if Zhang Juzheng sees something, he feels that he can suppress the opposition with the power in his hands, so he will do it. But Zhang Siwei is not. He saw the consequences of Zhang Juzheng's autocracy in the cabinet. Therefore, Zhang Siwei can reconcile these things, and if he really can’t reconcile, he will think of other ways.

Even though Zhang Siwei is like this, there were many problems when he became the prime minister of the cabinet.

First of all, after Zhang Juzheng's death, many things were left behind. Although neither the "Search for Acquisition" nor the "Search for Acquisition" are now formal, especially the "Search for Acquisition", which has become a convention in the court and is impossible to change. But even so, these things still require time and experience to supervise.

Moreover, the most serious problem left by Zhang Juzheng is that during his lifetime, Zhang Juzheng made too many enemies in the court and offended too many people. There is no need to talk about the emperor's side, after all, the matter between the emperor and the ministers is still quite special. But just talking about the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and those in the court is really very nervous.

Those people really couldn't move Zhang Juzheng. But now, Zhang Juzheng is dead. For these people, what they want most is to overthrow everything that Zhang Juzheng once made.

This incident was also a very difficult thing for Zhang Siwei.

In fact, after Zhang Juzheng passed away, Zhang Siwei took over the position of chief minister of his cabinet. However, after Zhang Siwei came to power, because Zhang Juzheng had too deep resentment in the court, the conflict with the ministers and the emperor was too great. Therefore, the first thing Zhang Siwei did was to completely deny everything Zhang Juzheng had decided before.

The reason why Zhang Siwei did this was completely impossible. You should know that the things he denied were not just Zhang Juzheng's contribution, but also a lot of his sweat. Obviously, he agreed at the beginning, otherwise he would not have helped Zhang Juzheng do these things. But he would do this entirely because as the chief minister of the cabinet, he really had to take care of all aspects of the court. Even if this was wrong, he could only do so.

But in this situation, Zhang Siwei would not do this. Why? This is really a loss to Zhang Juzheng's illness and Zhang Fan's contribution.

After Zhang Juzheng's serious illness, Zhang Fan's advice also changed a lot. Similarly, if there was no Zhang Fan there, Zhu Yijun would probably not change his view of Zhang Juzheng in the end. In short, because of Zhang Fan, the relationship between Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng was greatly improved. This is very important.

As for the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and the ministers in the court, there is not much difference. Although in the end, Zhang Juzheng's change was not only for the emperor, but even those in the court, he could face it with a friendly face. However, the conflict between them was not such a simple matter.

First, Zhang Juzheng offended them too deeply, and it is difficult for them to give up their resentment towards Zhang Juzheng. Second, the things Zhang Juzheng offended them are actually related to their interests. And these people are absolutely impossible to relax in this regard. Even if Zhang Juzheng's attitude has changed a lot, for these people, no matter how good the attitude is, it is not as good as the real interests. Therefore, it can be said that these people have irreconcilable contradictions with Zhang Juzheng, or the things that Zhang Juzheng did.

Now, Zhang Juzheng is dead. For these people, without Zhang Juzheng who suppresses them, they naturally have to start to find a way to deny everything Zhang Juzheng has done.

Originally, Zhang Siwei, who was promoted to the prime minister of the cabinet, did not dare to contradict these people too much, so he had to agree to them, and Zhang Juzheng's career that he had devoted his life was ruined.

But now, the situation is different.

What? The main reason is that Zhang Juzheng changed at the last moment. Although he did not have a good relationship with the people in the court, the most important thing is that the relationship with the emperor has eased. No, it cannot be said that it has eased, and it can even be said that it has been reconciled as before.

As for Zhang Siwei himself, he naturally did not want this matter to be destroyed. Among them, not only Zhang Juzheng's efforts, but also his own efforts. The efforts are second and most importantly, if all the things Zhang Juzheng did were abolished and all the conferences were in the past, then the court and the people would inevitably be in chaos. Therefore, Zhang Siwei would never do this fundamentally. Now, since the conflict between the emperor and Zhang Juzheng is not fierce, it is even equivalent to no more.

As for Zhang Siwei, he naturally didn't want to do this. Now, because of the emperor, there was no need for him to do this. Even so, the people in the court would continue to make noises, but as long as the emperor did not nod, no matter how much they quarreled, it would be useless.

Obviously, Zhu Yijun is not something that can be said by the people in the court that are noisy. You must know that although Zhang Juzheng is gone now, Zhang Fan is still there. As long as Zhang Fan is still there, Zhang Siwei believes that Zhu Yijun will not be fooled by the words of those in the court.

Of course, although the emperor is able to keep quiet and judge this matter, this is a very important part and fundamental one. However, in comparison, it is still necessary to maintain this situation with more practicality.

The so-called reality is actually even simpler, that is, to keep what Zhang Juzheng did during his lifetime, that is, to keep the "One Whip Law" in the future without making mistakes, continue to play a role, and continue to let the emperor feel the effect it brings, and will not be used by other people.

This is a very important thing, because if the people below are still trying to figure out a solution, they can only start from this aspect. As long as they maintain this, they don’t have to worry about anything anymore.

If you want to maintain this, it is not enough for him alone. Those in the cabinet must work together. And it is not just the cabinet, but also the help of others.

Zhang Siwei will find a way to do things in the cabinet. But the others are actually talking about Zhang Fan. Obviously, Zhang Fan is naturally very supportive of this matter, so there is no need to consider this. But there are too few people like this. Therefore, what we are thinking about now is how to expand this lineup.

Of course, this requires long-term consideration and cannot be done in the short term. But it is indeed not wrong to consider it from now on. In short, although this matter is urgent, it cannot be urgent. It must be done steadily.

Now, Zhang Siwei's primary task is to stabilize the situation in the court. Although those in the court have the support of the emperor, it is still very troublesome to deal with those people. Zhang Siwei wants to stabilize the situation and does not want to be more chaotic, so he cannot take the heavy hand as Zhang Juzheng, using a court stick or something like that. Therefore, this matter is still very troublesome for him.

But no matter how troublesome this matter is, it is necessary to do it. For Zhang Siwei, he still has some time to do these things now.

Although those people in the court have been suppressed by Zhang Juzheng for so long, now that Zhang Juzheng has died, these people naturally have to have some ideas. But after all, Zhang Juzheng has just passed away, and even if these people have any ideas, they will not reveal them immediately. After all, if Zhang Juzheng has just died, what impact will someone jump out and say something!

Therefore, there is still some time left for Zhang Siwei. Moreover, Zhang Siwei is not alone, and he can still find many people in the court who can help him.

This is what happened in the court now. Although the problems in this can be explained clearly, it is very troublesome to fully understand and figure out what to do.

However, Zhang Fan really can't take care of so many things now. There are many happy people and many people who are hurt by Zhang Juzheng's death. Zhang Fan is undoubtedly the most painful one among them.

Perhaps, for Zhang Juzheng's family, whether it is his children, grandson or his mother whom he still built, Zhang Juzheng's death is a very sad thing for them. But for Zhang Fan, that's not the case.

Zhang Juzheng was Zhang Fan's mentor, and he led Zhang Fan into the career of the government. The relationship between the two was also very good, and the relationship between teachers and students was not much thinner than family affection. Moreover, Zhang Juzheng's ideas have always been very important to Zhang Fan. It can even be said that it was precisely because of Zhang Juzheng's ideas that Zhang Fan found the right path he would take in the future.

Now that Zhang Juzheng is gone, it is also a huge loss for Zhang Fan.
