Tang Yin and Zhu Hao are in the same camp, so naturally they won't think about how to target Zhu Hao.
From a friendship point of view, Zhu Hao can be said to have helped a lost person find a direction for his efforts, allowing him to reach the peak of his life when he was old, even though he was extremely lucky. What reason did he have to target him?
Zhu Hao?
But Tang Yin could understand Yuan Zonggao's mentality.
What Yuan Zonggao was afraid of was that Zhu Hao, who succeeded at a young age, would threaten the imperial power in the future.
But these are not within the scope of Tang Yin's consideration. Imperial power and official career are not in his life plan. Now he is content even if he is just the head of the household department. What's more, Zhu Hao has planned more ambitious goals for him, so that
He can take further steps in his official career in the future.
Tang Yin inquired about Yuan Zonggao's illness and saw the desolation of Yuan Zonggao in his old age, which made him feel more and more sad.
"Why pursue so much? Isn't it better to remain poor?"
After Tang Yin went out, he made the most authentic voice deep in his heart.
Just as he was thinking about something, Lu Song, who had accompanied him here, approached and said, "Uncle Jiang, please come over and say that you have important matters to discuss."
"Meng Zai?"
Thinking of Jiang Lun, Tang Yin suddenly understood the purpose of the world's pursuit of fame and fortune.
It can be clearly seen from Jiang Lun's diligent pursuit of the title that no one can deal with fame and wealth indifferently. Who can make this thing satisfy a person's heart's desire?
…
…
When Tang Yin met Jiang Lun, he found that Jiang Lun was entertaining a guest in his new residence - Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling.
This time when the Empress Dowager Jiang entered the palace, Jiang Lun finally got a mansion given by the imperial court. This seemed to indicate that he was only one step away from being promoted to a noble title. The mansion covered a large area and was full of grandeur. All it needed was to hang a
What's the plaque of "Uncle XX's Mansion"?
"Oh, Brother Zhang, let me introduce to you, this is the famous Mr. Tang."
When Jiang Lun saw Tang Yin coming, he immediately enthusiastically introduced to Zhang Yanling, "Tang Bohu is a master of poetry and painting. He is now the head of the Household Department and is highly valued by His Majesty."
Zhang Yanling's eyes immediately fell on Tang Yin, but his expression was full of contempt.
The Zhang brothers have their eyes above their heads, and Tang Yin is very clear about this. As the saying goes, people with different views do not seek each other, but Tang Yin does not think there is a possibility of him becoming friends with the Zhang brothers.
Tang Yin cupped his hands and said, "I have met Marquis Jianchang."
An almost sarcastic smile appeared on Zhang Yanling's face: "Are you Tang Yin? I heard that you are now responsible for helping the young emperor manage the Imperial Manor... so much of the Imperial Manor is in your hands, right?"
Tang Yin knew as soon as he heard that something was wrong.
It is said that although Jiang Lun and the Zhang brothers are both cousins, they could not have become friends due to the conflict of interests. Now the second son of the Zhang family has taken the initiative to come to Jiang Lun. Is it unclear whether he wants to benefit from Jiang Lun?
Thinking that the Zhang brothers wanted to trick Jiang Lun and take him to buy the land in Huangzhuang, and that the previous disposal power of Huangzhuang was in the hands of the two Zhang brothers, Tang Yin understood that the purpose of Zhang Yanling's visit this time was to get help from him
Take the ground in your hand.
"I am taking care of some official land under the emperor's orders. As for the imperial village...it is no longer called this."
Tang Yin explained.
Zhang Yanling sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, I have some business here, and I want to do it with you... Since you are responsible for taking care of the imperial village, even if you can't sell the land, you at least need tenants, and after producing food, can you do it?
What’s the selling point?”
Tang Yin was shocked when he heard this.
Is Zhang Yanling a fool?
People who know that I am the emperor still dare to openly come to me to ask for benefits? You are so direct that you want to wait for the food in the Huangzhuang fields to be delivered to you?
"It's not my fault, the throne was given to the little emperor by my sister. But after the little emperor ascended the throne, he not only did not appreciate it, but also restricted us in every way. Even if we were not given this fat job in the capital, now even the land of the emperor's village has been lost.
Don’t you want to give us a break? Tang, I heard that you have a strong opinion on us brothers, and you even want to join us in occupying the fields in the court, and you want us to spit it out?"
Zhang Yanling could still talk well with Jiang Lun and seemed approachable. This was an important reason why Jiang Lun came to Tang Yin.
It can be seen that after seeing Tang Yin, Zhang Yanling's attitude changed obviously, and she almost wanted to eat people.
Even Jiang Lun could tell that something was wrong, and felt that he had made a big mistake.
Tang Yin said: "Where did Marquis Jianchang get the news? Everything I do is done impartially, so why do I have any objections to anyone?"
Zhang Yanling slammed the table and said: "What if we brothers are ignorant? We brothers have a lot of eyes in the government and the public. You know better than us whether you have done it or not. Now is a chance for you to find your way back. If
If you continue to persist in your stubbornness...don't blame our brothers for making it impossible for you to survive in the capital!
"Brother Jiang, I see you are quite smart. Don't get too close to this kind of person. Don't wait until you turn around and I'll find someone to deal with him, which will cause trouble for you! Let's go!"
In the end, he even threatened Jiang Lun.
Jiang Lun's intestines were filled with regret.
This guy asked me to find Tang Yin just to talk about this?
What kind of statement is this?
"Marquis Jianchang, are you leaving? Then I'll go out and see you off..."
Jiang Lun wanted to see Zhang Yanling off, but Zhang Yanling didn't appreciate it and left Jiang Lun's mansion with his men.
…
…
"Brother Bohu, I really don't know why he came to you to talk about this... He told me very well before, saying that he wanted to make a good friend of you, a popular person in front of the emperor, and by the way, I asked you about the imperial village.
Just take it seriously, thinking about multiple friends and multiple paths, they didn’t do anything to me before..."
Jiang Lun obviously has a good impression of the Zhang brothers.
Mainly because when Jiang Lun was not even a kid, he went to the capital to deliver tributes on behalf of Prince Xing's Palace and received "courteous treatment" from the Zhang brothers. From then on, Jiang Lun felt that there were many rumors about the Zhang brothers.
misunderstanding.
Later, he followed the new emperor to the capital. The Zhang brothers wanted to win over him and offered him benefits, which doubled his favor.
Only now do I know that it turns out that the two Zhang family members are really villains that everyone hates, and they can fall out against each other faster than reading a book.
Tang Yin smiled indifferently and said: "I heard that the sale of the Huangzhuang land fell into the hands of the two brothers through the relationship of the Queen Mother. They had sold a lot of land. As a result, His Majesty issued an imperial decree and sold their business to
It's bad, so naturally I'm not willing to do it, and I can't cause trouble to His Majesty, so of course he's here to make things difficult for me."
Jiang Lun sighed: "Brother Bohu, you have thought of it, but I haven't thought about it. I'm sorry."
"fine."
Tang Yin waved his hand carelessly, "That's good, at least let me know that they are unhappy, and be careful when going out in the future... Like Zhu Hao, it is always good to bring more people to protect you overtly and covertly, but you must prevent them
Go to the Imperial Mansion to cause trouble."
Jiang Lun said: "What kind of precaution?"
Tang Yin said cautiously: "The land of Huangzhuang is currently needed to feed the people from Prince Xing's Mansion to the capital. We can only send more people to keep an eye on it. Once someone approaches Huangzhuang, we have to call people. But the land of Huangzhuang is so vast... I'm afraid it won't be possible."
So defensive."
Jiang Lun blinked: "Do you want to ask Mr. Zhu Xiao for his opinion? He has the most ideas."
Tang Yin nodded, knowing that he was being targeted by the Zhang brothers, and it was time to ask Zhu Hao what to do.
At this time, Tang Yin was unsure. If the Zhang brothers really took the incident at Huangzhuang out on him, it would really be a big trouble.
…
…
It was not until noon that Tang Yin and Jiang Lun saw Zhu Hao, who had returned from the Hanlin Academy and was about to have dinner.
When Zhu Hao heard from Jiang Lun that Zhang Yanling had gone to see him, he asked, "Mr. Tang was also called, right?"
"this……"
Jiang Lun glanced at Tang Yin and thought to himself, Mr. Zhu Xiao really has a clever plan and it is absolutely right to ask him for advice.
Tang Yin said: "How do you know?"
Zhu Hao curled his lips: "Sir, are you pretending to be a fool? The Zhang brothers have already eaten a piece of fat like Huangzhuang, and now they are forced to spit it out, are they willing to do it? Now it is obvious that someone is secretly instigating it.
, let them come to trouble you, Mr. Tang."
"Instigation?"
Tang Yin immediately thought of a question, how did the Zhang brothers know that he mentioned the nobles' occupation of land when he was performing in the court?
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "You don't really think that we are the only ones who can use some unconventional means, while our opponents have always been restrained and polite and follow the rules, right? People like Yang Ge, Jiang Bin and Zhang Zhong are not their opponents.
, do you think he can only reason in court?"
"No wonder."
Tang Yin took a breath.
Tang Yin couldn't understand the sudden appearance of the Zhang brothers. No matter how reckless these two living treasures were, they wouldn't trouble the people of the new emperor, right?
But if someone is fanning the wind behind his back, then it makes sense... Some people want to see a conflict between the emperor and the Zhang brothers. Although the emperor is a powerful dragon across the river, the Zhang brothers have been entrenched in the capital for many years, and now they have
He is a nobleman of three dynasties and is worthy of being the most powerful local snake.
Even if the emperor wins in the end, he will definitely be defeated, and punishing the Zhang brothers means that the civil servants will have one less opponent.
From a civil servant's point of view, the emperor and the Zhang brothers were "dog eats dog".
Jiang Lun said bitterly: "The Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang will not be used as weapons, right? What good will it do them to oppose the new emperor?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "I heard that the brothers are greedy for money and lust, and never follow the rules when doing things, nor do they consider the consequences. Do you want to use common sense to judge these two reckless men? Their principle of doing things is that whoever makes them unhappy, they will
They are most likely to be instigated by anyone who wants to risk their lives... Then they may do even more lawless things... They think that His Majesty can't do anything to them."
"That……"
Jiang Lun looked at Tang Yin first, and then said seriously, "Hurry up and ask Your Majesty to teach them a lesson. Don't let them act recklessly."
"No!"
Zhu Hao's attitude was firm: "Letting His Majesty personally punish him will give him a reputation of being unkind and unjust. Even if he wants to touch his two brothers, it can't be done in the past two years."
Tang Yin seemed to have been familiar with Zhu Hao's tricks for a long time. He narrowed his eyes and said, "So you have a better way to make them suffer, right?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Of course, the purpose of our coming to the capital is to divide, disintegrate and completely suppress these local gangsters in the capital. The Zhang family brothers are local gangsters, and Mr. Yang Ge is also a local gangster. They think they are entangled in the capital and have deep-rooted influence. But
In fact, there are still many clever ways to deal with them."
Tang Yin said angrily: "It's your business to plot against them. You have to first make sure that I don't get chopped with a knife when I go out."
