Chapter 1044 The boat of friendship will turn over
The quarrel showed signs of getting worse, and Zhu Hao seemed to have become a public enemy in the court.
Previously, as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and the right minister of the Ministry of Works, he led a naval battle in the southeast, and he actually spoke so righteously that he almost didn't want to be demoted.
Zhang Zuo's words only calmed public opinion for a while, but not long after, the scene became noisy again.
Some people began to gather around Fei Hong, and some also went towards Yang Yiqing. They seemed to want them to come out to uphold justice and use the power of orthodox civil servants to suppress Zhu Hao's budding desire for power.
But even Yang Yiqing, who had been targeting Zhu Hao since entering the court, did not make any more exaggerated remarks on this matter.
Waiting until the emperor arrived, the court meeting officially began.
Naturally, the ministers would not let go of the previous topic. As soon as the topic came up, Jin Xianmin, the Minister of War, came out to impeach Zhu Hao for his ultra vires behavior.
Others speaking out may not have such a great impact on Zhu Hao, but Jin Xianmin is also the Minister of War after all, and all the soldiers and horses in the world are under his jurisdiction, so it is most appropriate to speak out.
Zhu Sidao: "I understand. I dare to ask you all, after the tribute dispute happened last year, I proposed the issue of pacifying the Haijiang. Do you all agree?"
Of course no one agrees, and many people don’t even remember it happening.
"I know what Zhu Qingshi did, and he didn't dispatch too many troops. The ones who cooperated in the extermination of the bandits were the officers of the Southeast Coast Guard. This was their duty. The Zhu Qing family was just a matchmaker, and they were able to control the sea.
The boat was sent over..."
It was a good thing that Zhu Si did not mention sea ships. As soon as he mentioned it, the opinions of the ministers came out again.
This time, Jia Yong, who had just joined the cabinet, spoke: "Your Majesty, we have reported before that the ship has encountered a shipwreck and may not be able to return!"
Zhu Sidao: "Didn't you say that this matter has not been determined yet?"
Jia Yong said anxiously: "If a shipwreck occurs and soldiers are killed overseas, how will the news come back? Your Majesty, please pay attention to this matter and do not let the family records of innocent soldiers feel alienated from the imperial court."
"I hear what you are saying. If I don't give an explanation to the family records of those soldiers who went to war, will they still dare to cause trouble?"
Zhu Si is also popular.
I didn't want to come today. I heard that Zhu Hao was going to court, so I showed up here just to save his face.
As a result, now you not only regard Zhu Hao as a target, but you also want to include me in your opinion. How can I be polite to you?
Zhu Hao came out and said: "Your Majesty, the responsibility for this matter lies with me. Please forgive me and allow me to not hold any position. I will make a decision after the matter is resolved."
Zhu Hao took the initiative to "please resign", or in other words, asked for leave.
Of course Zhu Si understood what Zhu Hao was up to.
It was Zhu Hao's decision to trap Zhu Hao in the capital and not even allow him to go to the Western Mountains, and he thought it was a good move.
Now Zhu Hao is taking the responsibility for the disappearance of the ship. He clearly wants to take the opportunity to leave and do his own thing. He is not willing to stay in the capital and become a Hanlin bachelor or even join the cabinet.
The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
This embarrassment does not lie in the conflict between Zhu Si and traditional civil servants, but in Zhu Si's disappointment in Zhu Hao.
From Zhu Si's point of view, this time it was clear that we were unanimous in communicating with the outside world, but you jumped off the boat first, preventing me from coming to Taiwan!
"His Majesty."
Yang Yiqing walked out of the crowd and said, "I agree with Master Zhu's point of view and can let him temporarily step down from his post. We will make further plans after the matter is resolved."
In this way, Yang Yiqing, as Zhu Hao's opponent, successfully made the ministers feel that he was the real leader of Yang Ting and Hou Chaotang, and Fei Hong and his gang were just decorations.
Even Zhu Hao didn't dare to confront him head-on, so what qualifications did he have to lead the civil service?
When Fei Hong saw this situation, he had no choice but to speak out. He raised his wat board and said, "Your Majesty, I second my opinion."
The implication is that the chief minister and Yang Yiqing, who is currently a Hanlin scholar and also the official minister, agreed with Zhu Hao's point of view and asked Zhu Hao to take a break temporarily to wait for the outcome of the matter before making further plans.
Zhu Si's face looked ugly.
Obviously this was not the result he wanted, but he seemed to have nothing to say until now.
"A melon that is too strong is not sweet."
Zhu Si suddenly said something unreasonable, "I agree with the request of Zhu Qing's family. His position remains unchanged. He can go out of the capital, whether to Xishan, Yongping Mansion, or even Tianjin, but he cannot go anywhere else."
Within a month, this matter must come to a conclusion, and I will deal with it then! Retreat from the court!"
Huang Zan, the Minister of Revenue, reminded: "Your Majesty, there are other matters..."
"No more talking!"
Zhu Si was very impatient.
For Zhu Si, the court meeting that day was originally dispensable, but because of his visit, he felt that the friendship between him and Zhu Hao had been shattered.
He even asked Zhu Hao to leave the capital out of anger.
As for responsibility... he doesn't think Zhu Hao has any responsibility. What he hates is that now both Zhu Hao and the civil and military ministers want Zhu Hao to hand over the power in his hands.
On the contrary, he, the emperor, always wanted to protect Zhu Hao, but Zhu Hao didn't appreciate it.
Treating good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs, he was sad, aggrieved, and even more angry.
…
…
This court meeting ended with a long standby and a sudden crash.
When Zhu Hao walked out of the palace, no one came towards Zhu Hao. Even Liu Chun, who had a good relationship with Zhu Hao before, just watched from a distance.
Others still gave Zhu Hao a lot of advice, but Zhu Hao didn't care.
For Zhu Hao, it is not a bad thing to be enemies with Zhu Si. The friendship between friends is sometimes so fragile. In the past, Zhu Si was the crown prince of Prince Xing, or the helpless young emperor who had just ascended the throne. He could call him a friend.
But now that Zhu Si is in control, there is no need to deliberately maintain a friendship.
What is left is only the interests between the monarch and his ministers.
From Zhu Hao's point of view, since the capital city is not suitable for him to engage in scientific research, he will not fall in love with this prosperous age. Even if he just goes home and is idle for a few days, it is better than suffering in the court.
To Zhu Hao, being chief minister, minister, or Hanlin bachelor is just a title. What he wants is not to be a highly respected minister, but to change the times. If Zhu Si cannot give him this kind of help, then he would rather keep his distance from Zhu Hao.
, even parting ways is not hesitant.
…
…
After Zhu Si returned to Qianqing Palace, he became furious and threw everything on the table to the ground.
Zhu Si and Zhu Hao have never been in such trouble because of one thing.
Zhang Zuo and others could only stand at the entrance of the palace, not daring to go forward to persuade, but also afraid of being accidentally hurt by the emperor. They did not know how to persuade, because they all knew that Zhu Hao's status in the Ming Dynasty was too special, and he was almost the emperor's subordinate.
The spiritual support from my youth till now.
The pillar suddenly collapsed, and I want to repair it... What should I do?
Who has Zhu Hao’s skills?
Who can calculate everything accurately and plan every step of the way? Who can establish such a deep friendship with the emperor and save the emperor from fire and water several times? Who else can grow up with the emperor as both a friend and a teacher and student, and face so many difficulties together?
After Zhu Si threw something, he seemed to be in a better mood. After sitting down, he stared blankly as if he was thinking about things.
Zhang Zuo then walked in tremblingly and picked up some important things, but he didn't dare to put them on the eucalyptus table. He could only hold them first or have someone put them somewhere else.
Zhu Sidao: "If Jingdao is not in the Hanlin Academy, does everything in the Hanlin Academy have to be under the jurisdiction of that old man Yang Yingning?"
"Well……"
Zhang Zuo didn't know how to answer. This question was simply the emperor's most intuitive feeling towards those ministers.
So arrogant.
"Yes."
After Zhang Zuo thought about it, he finally gave an affirmative answer.
It doesn't matter whether he is right or not, doesn't the emperor need his affirmative answer?
Just cater to it!
Zhu Sidao: "We can't help Yang Yingning's arrogance. Although this conflict is between me and Zhu Hao, they are deliberately instigating it behind the scenes, and their intentions are damnable! Recall Zhang Bingyong to me and let him return to the Hanlin Academy to continue
Become a Hanlin bachelor! Separate Yang Yingning’s power!"
Zhang Zuo was startled.
Soon after the talents were sent away, they were recalled? By the way, has Zhang Cong arrived in Shaanxi now?
"Go quickly!" Zhu Si urged.
Zhang Zuo asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to wait for the generals in the court to discuss matters before making a decision? What if..."
"You mean, if they don't agree, I can't do it, right?"
Zhu Si was still very angry, "I don't need to listen to their opinions on who I want to use. Although Zhang Cong is greedy for power, he is at least a little ambitious and not like Zhu Hao who gives up on himself! I don't even know why he became like this! Obviously he can follow
We are enjoying this great country together, why do you have to be angry with me?"
Zhu Si couldn't figure it out.
You, Zhu Hao, have become famous now. It is only a matter of words from me to join the cabinet. If you want to be a minister, I can also help you.
Those ministers can no longer do anything to you.
But you insist on leaving the capital and pursuing your so-called life goals. Isn't this pretentious?
If you want power, if you want money, if you want money, if you want women, give them women. As long as you have a little ambition, you can respond to everything in the court. Have I ever treated you badly?
Zhang Zuodao said: "If we want Zhang Bingyong to return to the court, I'm afraid it will take some time."
"Then let Gui E be promoted to Hanlin Bachelor's degree!"
Zhu Si is now completely ready to fight.
Since Zhu Hao insisted on venting his anger and going against him, he would promote people he thought were useful.
No matter what Zhang Cong and Gui E had done before, at least they were members of the Yili Sect, helping his father win the title and making great contributions to maintaining their father-son relationship.
What Zhu Si appreciates even more is that these two guys are dedicated to climbing up the ladder, and there will be no situation like Zhu Hao who is obviously in a high position but has weird pursuits.
"yes!"
Zhang Zuo thought to himself, it turns out that it can still be played like this.
Will Gui E become a Hanlin bachelor now?
Doesn't that mean that... it has become a pattern of four Hanlin bachelors?
The Ming Dynasty's Hanlin bachelor's degree is a short-term job. Previously, there were four Hanlin bachelor's degree, but then none of them disappeared. Now the number of Hanlin bachelor's degree suddenly increased, and four more Hanlin bachelor's degree were replaced at one go...
The iron-clad Hanlin Academy, the smooth Hanlin bachelor!
"Tell Zhu Hao that he can go wherever he likes and I won't stop him anymore!"
