Chapter five hundred and sixty first from the text or martial arts
The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed.
Zhu Hao met Lu Bing, who looked quite heroic.
The friends were extremely affectionate when they met each other. Lu Bing took Zhu Hao's hand and asked questions, as if Zhu Hao knew everything.
"I heard from my mother that my father works with you, but why don't you see anyone else here?"
Lu Bing desperately wanted to know his father's condition.
Lu Bing followed his mother to the capital.
My father works in Jinyiwei and often doesn't come home for more than ten months after leaving home. My mother often goes to and from the palace to work as Empress Dowager Chiang's personal confidant.
He is not the kind of person who is open-minded and eager to learn. He likes to dance with guns and sticks when he has nothing to do. It seems that he has planned to inherit his father's position as Jinyiwei Qianhu in the future.
Zhu Hao said: "Your father has important errands to do. If anything happens in the future, just come to me. In the past few years, you must study hard and practice martial arts without slacking off. Otherwise, how will you assist His Majesty Zuo in the future..."
"Zhu Hao, studying Chinese literature and practicing martial arts are not interesting. Why don't you teach me something else...I heard that you are very good at fortune telling, can you teach me this?"
Lu Bing's request made Zhu Hao frown.
He didn't want Zhu Hao to tell his fortune, but he wanted to learn the skill of fortune telling. It seems that children have no resistance to those magical things.
Zhu Hao said angrily: "In the future, even if you cannot take the imperial examination, you must take the path of martial arts examination, so that you can be worthy of your parents' cultivation. Today I want to give you a good reminder. What do you think I am?"
A half-immortal who is telling fortunes on the side? Don’t think about those useless things! Follow me to study hard from now on, and don’t fall behind when it comes to practicing!”
Lu Bing has an outgoing personality, sharp eyes, and a vigorous energy all over his body, showing off his sharp edge.
Generally speaking, such people are not easy to mess with, they are unruly and rebellious, but now that Zhu Hao was scolding him, Lu Bing had no temper at all.
He has been following Zhu Hao since he was a child. He has been taught by Zhu Hao for most of his childhood. Zhu Hao is his husband. In addition, Zhu Hao is older than him and has more knowledge than him. Now there is a huge gap in status. Even his parents are
He respects Zhu Hao so much, what reason does he have for not listening to Zhu Hao?
"My mother said, I can take a day off today, why don't you take me around the capital?" Lu Bing's request was almost exactly the same as when Zhu San first arrived in the capital.
When children arrive in a bustling metropolis, they always want to see some new and interesting things.
Although Anlu is a prefecture city, it is incomparable to the capital city. Whether Zhu Si, Zhu San, or Lu Bing are from a small place, it is easy to be dazzled by the prosperity of the capital city.
Zhu Hao shook his head: "No. Go back and study hard. I will give you a test in a few days. The weather has cooled down recently, so it is a good time to practice martial arts. I will ask Guan Jing to show off with you later. His martial arts has improved recently. I hope you can
Just hold on a little longer in his hands."
"That's not fair! He is several years older than me, and he must be taller than me, right?"
Lu Bing immediately protested.
Although Lu Bing was not very familiar with Guan Jing, he and Zhu Hao had fought against each other before and competed with Guan Jing. It was like an adult bullying a child, and Lu Bing had always had a shadow in his heart.
What Guan Jing practices is not just a show on the stage. He travels all over the country. He has a strong body and a more upright personality. He is influenced by his father in learning and practicing. He is down-to-earth and diligent, and practices hard every day. Unlike Lu Bing, who doesn't care about anything.
Studying or practicing martial arts, he spends three days fishing and two days drying nets. He is more like a lazy second-generation official with no ambition to make progress.
Zhu Haodao: "Study hard and you will make progress. I will let you know him tomorrow. Only by accepting more lessons can you recognize the reality!"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
…
…
Zhu Hao felt that there would be no harm in letting Guan Jing have more contact with Lu Bing.
Lu Bing has a strong background. Even if he fails the martial arts examination, he still has a bright future. Guan Jing's biggest supporter is Zhu Hao. He wants to join the Jinyi Guards unless he has achieved military merit, otherwise it will be difficult even if Zhu Hao is willing to help.
In Jinyiwei, you can either rely on connections or ability to make a living.
The so-called relationship does not rely on the help of friends, but more on the merits and influence of the fathers, which Guan Jing does not have.
Zhu Hao's expectation for Guan Jing is that after he passes the martial arts examination, he will go to the frontier army to practice for a few years and take the route of becoming a general, unlike Lu Bing, who took the shortcut of Jin Yiwei.
But now there are many uncertain factors, and Zhu Hao is not in a hurry to plan their lives.
Especially for Lu Bing, there was no need for him, Zhu Hao, to make plans on his behalf.
…
Early September.
The weather was obviously getting colder. Zhu Si had been infected with wind and cold because he had gone in and out of the palace before and had not had a good night's rest. However, he did not miss the court because of this.
It’s just that the time for court proceedings has been significantly shortened.
There were some things that the court had no time to say, and they were all approved in the form of memorials. Unlike before, it was difficult for Yang Tinghe to respond to the new emperor Zhu Piduo. During this period, while the emperor was ill, Yang Tinghe deliberately made things difficult for the government, and deliberately made things difficult at the six ministries and local implementation levels.
Slow down.
In fact, it is to put pressure on Zhu Si and let you know who is the mainstay of the court while you are sick.
Zhu Si did not leave the palace for many days in a row.
Zhang Zuo was responsible for passing news back and forth. Zhu Si didn't like reviewing memorials in the first place. Now that he was ill, he pushed everything to Zhu Hao.
"... Just pick a few items for Mr. Zhu to approve, and leave the rest to our family. I'm not in good health. If I approve too many items in His Majesty's name, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."
Zhang Zuo made a special statement to Tang Yin and Zhu Hao.
It's a pity that Zhu Hao is not here at this moment.
When the emperor was ill, Yang Tinghe deliberately slowed down the work of the six ministries. Generally speaking, some important matters were not left to the emperor to decide, so as to gradually empty the little emperor's power.
In the past, everything was heard by Heaven. The emperor controlled the entire court through Zhu Pi. When Yang Tinghe discovered that the young emperor was gradually consolidating his power, he immediately came up with such a countermeasure.
Tang Yin looked at the sparse memorials in his hand, shook his head and said: "These are all insignificant and trivial matters. In the past, there were no or few memorials, but recently there have been more and more. It seems... sigh!"
There are some things that Tang Yin doesn't need to explain clearly.
Zhu Hao also raised this issue before.
We can't always think that the enemy will fight back within the scope of our imagination. Political opponents also have skills. As a prominent powerful minister, Yang Tinghe, even Jiang Bin and other recent sycophants who control the military power, are not his opponents. If the emperor responds in a regular way, it will not be possible at all.
Can't beat him.
Zhang Zuo sighed: "There is nothing we can do about this, but recently... we can only postpone it for now, and we can wait until His Majesty's dragon body is restored to safety."
…
…
After Zhang Zuo experienced the battle between the new emperor and Yang Tinghe, he found that his opponent was strong and the civil servants in the court basically stood on the opponent's side.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, he is almost like a puppet. Apart from being able to compete with Yang Tinghe in the ceremonial discussions, there are very few things that can make Yang Tinghe soft. Moreover, the civil servants basically stand on Yang Tinghe's side and challenge the new emperor.
It is also euphemistically called direct remonstrance, which is the embodiment of loyal ministers and righteous men.
According to Zhu Hao, they were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, not the new emperor.
In Zhu Hao's view, even if there is a change of emperor or dynasty, the same group of people will still have the same pissy behavior in the court. Without anyone to stop them, they will only get worse.
Recently, Zhu Hao opened six workshops in Shuntianfu.
In addition to the four weaving workshops, there is also a glaze workshop responsible for producing flat glass to produce silver mirrors.
The last workshop is the iron-making workshop renovated by Zhu Hao, ready to try steel-making.
At the Hanlin Academy, Zhu Hao basically went there for two hours a day, one hour in the morning, and stayed up for another hour after lunch before leaving.
Or choose to go to a full class in the morning or afternoon.
No one forced it.
This is really a relaxing job.
Because he had just entered the Hanlin Academy, apart from revising books, Zhu Hao was not able to do other major matters, such as making imperial edicts, and he was not even qualified to participate in opinions.
There are too many idle people in the Hanlin Academy, and no one would pay attention to a newcomer like him.
Different from when he was in Anlu, when Zhu Hao arrived in the capital this time, he did not ask Zhu Niang and Aunt Li to take care of the business, allowing them to stay at home with peace of mind. The business affairs were mainly left to shopkeeper Ma and Yu San, who followed him there.
People from the capital.
…
…
On this day, Zhu Hao went to the Hanlin Academy to "busy" all morning, and at noon he arrived at the place he had made an appointment with Sun Ru.
Also arriving at the same time were Guan Jing and Lu Bing, who had been practicing martial arts together in the morning. Their destination was not a hot pot restaurant, but a nearby restaurant.
"Zhu Hao, we are too tired, let's get something delicious." As soon as Lu Bing came, he sat there in a grand manner without being polite at all.
Guan Jing said with a straight face: "Don't be rude to sir!"
Lu Bingdao: "Zhu Hao is your husband, not mine..." Seeing Guan Jing raise his fist, he quickly changed his words, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, isn't it okay?"
Lu Bing stood up, looking aggrieved.
Zhu Hao saw bruises on Lu Bing's face, probably from the martial arts competition with Guan Jing. Now Lu Bing was in awe of Guan Jing and did not dare to disobey him at all.
Zhu Hao sighed: "It's okay, don't be so formal, just sit down. Jiang Rong will come over soon. After eating, I will take you to a good place in the afternoon."
"Where?"
Lu Bing's eyes widened.
Zhu Hao said: "Don't tell me now, you will know when we get there."
Zhu Hao wanted to take them to Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei North Town, but before that, he would take them to Dali Temple... On that day, prisoners were taken out of Dali Temple and transferred to the imperial prison.
This was a power struggle between the Sanfa Si and the Jin Yiwei, and it was Lu Bing's father, Lu Song, who came to mention him.
After the person is sent to Fusi Yamen in Jinyiweibei Town, Luo An will preside over the interrogation. Zhu Hao wants a few people to observe.
Although Sun Ru is a Juren, and logically has nothing to do with imperial edicts, Zhu Hao feels that it is difficult for Sun Ru to make a difference in his official career as a supervisor of the Imperial College, so it is better to let him join the army as a Juren and serve in the army.
Starting from the middle and lower levels of history, it is equivalent to letting them become civilian officials in the army.
otherwise……
Sun Ru was so naughty that he still wanted to be an official. He was afraid that he would mislead others by letting him serve as a scholar in the Imperial Academy. Zhu Hao did not think that Sun Ru had any future in becoming an official under the orthodox civil service system.
