Chapter three hundred and seventy-six stupid people have stupid blessings
The contact between Zhu Hao and Zhu Wanhong has become normal.
There was no need for Zhu Hao to look for him. He might show up at any time, but he would always say some confusing things, with the ultimate goal of...reaching out to ask for money.
Tang Yin was worried about this, but fortunately, Zhu Wanhong's presence did not threaten him for the time being.
The twelfth lunar month.
The Zhu family moved away from Anlu.
Go in two batches.
Zhu Jia left first with Zhu Wanjian and a group of women and children, and the second group included Zhu Wanquan and Ding Zhuang. Many of the Zhu family's properties were said to be sold off, but the thunder was loud and the rain was light, so the shopkeepers basically stayed on. Maybe it was Zhu
Jia believes that there will be a chance to come back in the future and is not in a hurry to clear out his property.
Zhu Hao couldn't help but wonder.
The Zhu family has no property in the capital for a long time. How can they take root in the capital if they don't sell the village and the land here? They don't want to rent a house to live in, right?
Or maybe Jinyiwei has arranged a "residence" for you? Or maybe the glass bead business has made you a lot of money, and you no longer mind the "three melons and two dates" industry in Anlu?
In order not to be held hostage, Zhu Niang did not go to say goodbye when the Zhu family set off.
But I still did my best in terms of etiquette and sent some condolences, just like the old lady gave gifts to win reputation when she pretended to be sick.
Yuan Zonggao even personally asked about this matter, which shows that Prince Xing's Palace is very concerned about the situation in Zhu Hao's family. In general... Prince Xing's Palace insists that Zhu Niang, a branch of the Zhu family, stay in Anlu with peace of mind, even if the Zhu family really wants to
If Zhu Niang and her son were forcibly taken away, Prince Xing's Mansion would also intervene... Although these preparations were useless in the end, Zhu Hao still expressed his gratitude to Yuan Zonggao.
In this way, the thirteenth year of Zhengde in Ming Dynasty came.
New year and new atmosphere.
Capital.
Zhu Houzhao returned triumphant after completing the victory at Yingzhou, and Yang Tinghe returned to Beijing after ending his defense. As Zhu Hao expected, Yang Tinghe scorned Zhu Houzhao's "contributions", but this time Zhu Houzhao did not sit still and was ready to call the people who helped him achieve the victory in batches.
Go to the capital to testify.
Historically, Zhu Houzhao's "Victory at Yingzhou" may have had a certain degree of merit. He did not kill any people and captured many Tatars. At most, he just went on strike to protest.
But this time he felt that the military achievements he had achieved were real. If he did not fight for them, it would be too shameful to become an emperor.
A fierce dispute suddenly broke out in the court. There was a huge controversy about whether and how much merit the emperor had made in the northwest war. For a while, no one seemed to care about the role of Prince Xing's Mansion in Anlu.
Role.
In the first month of the first month, when Zhu Hao went to see Zhu Wanhong, the meaning behind Zhu Wanhong's words was that now the court had no time to deal with Prince Xing's Mansion, and the emperor had not even figured out his role and status, so he had to step aside before Prince Xing's Mansion.
The implication is that Zhu Wanhong has not received any further instructions from the court regarding Prince Xing's Mansion.
Zhu Wanhong seemed to trust Zhu Hao very much and spoke sincerely, giving Zhu Hao the feeling that Zhu Wanhong knew that a real dragon was coming out of Prince Xing's Mansion and was ready to sell himself and join him.
But it might just be an illusion.
Zhu Hao also has new plans this year.
Zhu Hao knew very well that the palace of Prince Xing in the thirteenth year of Zhengde was basically in peace, but Prince Xing's health was getting worse day by day. Historically, Zhu Youqi died of illness on June 17, the fourteenth year of Zhengde. Even if he brought about the butterfly effect, he expected this
The time should be about the same.
Life and death have destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven.
Since there is nothing major going on in Prince Xing's Mansion, Zhu Hao has to do his own thing.
After taking the high school student examination, he had to go to the state school to deal with it. The thirteenth year of Zhengde was not the year of the provincial examination. All he had to do was prepare for next year's Huguang rural examination. The only exam that involved him this year was the subject examination, which was quite
Judging from the situation in previous years, the qualifying examination for the provincial examination is scheduled to be held in the second half of the year.
As long as the admission is successful, you don't need to take the postgraduate entrance examination next year, you can just wait for the provincial examination.
As for the state school, every once in a while, it will give four essay questions to the students studying there, and let the students go home to answer and then submit papers for assessment. These are daily small tests and have nothing to do with the overall situation.
Without the hindrance of the Zhu family staying in Anlu, Zhu Hao found that he could do business and study much more easily.
It's just that when I go out, I still cheer each other.
As his personal bodyguard, Jiang Rong was always by his side, and occasionally Guan Jing would follow. Yu San and Shopkeeper Ma were each responsible for the theater and warehouse business handled by Zhu Hao...
…
…
Nothing happened in the palace, but something happened anyway, but it did not involve Prince Xing and his son, but Zhang Jingming.
In mid-March, bad news came. Not long after Zhang Jingming's father died, his mother passed away.
When he was nearly sixty years old, his parents passed away one after another. Zhang Jingming himself probably could have predicted that it would be a "happy loss" to live to be seventy or eighty years old these days. Zhang Jingming himself was already very old, so he packed his bags in a hurry without caring about his sadness.
Because no matter what, basic filial piety must be done.
After returning to the palace for more than a year, Zhang Jingming did not gain much power to begin with. His departure will not affect the current normal operations of the palace, and the power structure will not change.
But when bidding farewell, everyone couldn't help but feel sad and desolate, feeling like "you may not be able to come back after you go this time."
After Zhang Jingming left, Yuan Zonggao became a loner again.
Now Zhang Zuo's faction can be said to be strong and strong. It not only controls the financial power of the palace, but also has the opportunity to see the sick Zhu Youqi alone from time to time. It has top staff like Tang Yin to advise on important matters, and it is also highly praised by the Imperial Guards Department... Zhang Zuo seems to have become
The powerful eunuch of Prince Xing's Mansion.
Yuan Zonggao could only focus on winning over Chu Yu as his tutor.
But Chu Yu knew that he was not valued in the palace, so he had the intention of leaving. Now even Zhang Jingming, who personally recruited him to join the palace, has returned to his hometown to guard the system. He feels that it is meaningless to continue to teach in the palace... Who let him
The prince only sees Tang Yin and Zhu Hao as teachers and students? He only praises Tang Yin and Zhu Hao's teaching methods in words?
Even the prince was praised by Zhang Bangqi, who was promoted by the province. In the end, the palace commended Tang Yin and Zhu Hao. Chu Yu knew that he was not capable of showing off in front of these two great gods.
Once he had the intention of leaving, he could only politely decline Yuan Zonggao's offer.
I am unable to serve as a teacher myself, so you still want to win me over to engage in political intrigue? Let’s forget it. Prince Xing’s Mansion is really a place where dragons and tigers hide, and I, a scholar, don’t want to get involved in your messy affairs.
…
…
In mid-April, the arrival of an imperial edict caused several ripples in the calm water of Prince Xing's Mansion.
On this day, Zhu Hao was holding a unique discussion with Zhu Si, Jinghong and the others. The specific content was whether Confucianism or Legalism was more important in the art of governing people. Tang Yin came to the academy to inform Zhu Hao and
He went together to see King Xing.
After leaving the academy, Tang Yin explained the situation.
"...I heard Zhang Fengzheng mention it before. It seems that His Majesty intends to inquire about the details of the previous proposals of the Royal Palace in the Northwest War, in order to find out why such a memorial was issued here."
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Is this a good thing?"
Tang Yindao: "How can there be such a thing as a good thing? If Prince Xing's palace reports truthfully and says this is my suggestion and summons me to the capital, wouldn't that bring trouble to me?"
Zhu Hao is still smiling.
It turned out that Tang Yin was accustomed to a stable life in Prince Xing's Mansion, and now that he had a greater opportunity to rise to the next level and gain the respect of the current emperor, he didn't want to wade into troubled waters.
"Then... if that doesn't work, just say it was my idea?"
Zhu Hao asked tentatively.
Tang Yin glared: "You don't need to test me. I know that you are determined to stay in the palace. It's better to wait and see how things will change."
…
…
In front of King Xing.
This time Zhu Youqian summoned not many people. Apart from Yuan Zonggao, Zhang Zuo, Tang Yin and Zhu Hao, the only person in charge of the palace was Dian Baozheng and Yang Xiu. Next to him stood Jiang Lun, who was dozing off.
Obviously, Prince Xing's Mansion did not want to publicize Tang Yin's military strategy for the northwest.
Before the topic even started, Zhu Hao felt that Prince Xing did not want to let him go. If he really wanted to send Tang Yinfeng to the capital in all his glory to receive advice from the emperor and the Ministry of War, he would just have to summon most of the officials in the palace and announce it in public.
Zhang Zuo came out first to explain the situation.
Yuan Zonggao concluded: "Perhaps Prince Xing's palace performed too well in the Yingzhou War in the first year. His Majesty wants to know who is capable in the palace... Bohu, you have great military attainments."
Of course Tang Yin didn't think this was a good thing.
Earlier, I thought you, Yuan Zonggao, were a gentleman, but now I can only think that you are jealous of talents.
But the problem is that I am just Zhu Hao's cover now, and it will be useless if I go to the capital, so I will definitely not accept any proposal to leave Prince Xing's palace and go to the capital... If you really want to insist, then I will resign from the palace and return home. I am unemployed. Anyway, I have earned enough pension funds in the past two years.
Who is afraid of whom?
Zhang Zuo asked: "My lord, what do you mean? You don't want to tell your majesty clearly that it was Mr. Tang's foresight, right? What if your majesty wants someone from the palace... At present, the palace needs Mr. Tang's advice for many things. This... He is indispensable in the palace."
Yuan Zonggao glanced at him and thought, it's not that Tang Yin is indispensable in the palace, but that you can't do without him, right?
Zhu Youyi sighed: "It has been three years since Mr. Tang entered the palace. During these three years, the palace has received countless suggestions from Mr. Tang. In the past two years, the issue of heirs was always mentioned in the court, but now... it is basically not mentioned. Yes. This all depends on Mr. Tang’s establishment of the prestige of Prince Xing’s Mansion.”
"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it!"
Tang Yin said this, but he was thinking in his heart, even if it is such a "private occasion", Prince Xing, you can't say it so directly, right?
Do you dare to guarantee that we people will not leak the news?
Zhu Youqian said: "This is what I think. If Meng Zai goes to the capital on behalf of Mr. Tang and assumes his name... I wonder what you think?"
"Um!?"
Perhaps Zhu Youqiu didn't discuss this matter with anyone in advance, and even Zhang Zuo couldn't help being surprised.
What kind of number is this?
Tang Yin's prediction of war was unfortunately correct in the end. The imperial court issued an order to ask how a master could have such foresight, but let an ignorant Chiang Lun do it for him?
Everyone present was looking at Tang Yin. It was obvious that if King Xing did this, wouldn't it allow Jiang Lun to take credit? Would Tang Yin be happy?
But Tang Yin couldn't get it.
Originally, he had not predicted this. It was all due to Zhu Hao's foresight. He just borrowed his words and now pushed Jiang Lun out as the "first bird". This was very in line with Tang Yin's ideas. He hurriedly saluted: "I firmly support Xing. The king's decision is just because I'm afraid that Mr. Jiang... will be too hard for him."
Happiness came a bit suddenly. Jiang Lun laughed intermittently, but felt that he was laughing at the wrong time.
When he turned around, Jiang Lun found that everyone's eyes were on him, and he thought to himself, am I a stupid person with a stupid blessing?
He looked ashamed: "Again and again, this credit is not mine, what should I say when I go to the capital?"
