Zhu Wanhong not only has opinions, but also big opinions.
"Nephew, do you have to speak so decisively? Aren't you afraid..."
Zhu Wanhong immediately threatened Zhu Hao.
The previous drama of pretending to be a grandson was outdated. He knew that the eldest nephew would not believe it, so there was no need to waste his acting skills. He could just be more direct and use what he thought Zhu Hao was afraid of as a threat.
Zhu Hao laughed and said: "Uncle, what I said is exactly what I want to say. You want to report me to Mr. Yang Ge, right? Then you have to admit that the death of the eldest son of Prince Xing's Mansion had nothing to do with the Zhu family. The Zhu family made false reports and defrauded him.
Credit? Without me taking action at that time, the Queen Mother would not let go of the Zhu family!"
"Ah? Who...who said I should report this?"
Zhu Wanhong was panicked.
Previously, he felt that he had Zhu Hao's "handle", that is, reporting that Zhu Hao was actually doing things for the new emperor, but this was based on the fact that the death of Zhu's fourth brother had nothing to do with the Zhu family. Whenever Zhu Hao's close relatives died,
In the hands of the Zhu family, no matter what, the new emperor would not be able to trust the people who plotted against his eldest brother's family.
If you want to admit that the death of the fourth brother Zhu has nothing to do with your family... just as Zhu Hao said, Queen Mother Zhang will definitely make the Zhu family pay a heavy price for this.
Zhu Wanhong dug a hole for Zhu Hao, but accidentally fell into it.
Zhu Hao said: "You can report whatever you want... Since you want everything to die, then when your report is successful, it will be the day the Zhu family is completely destroyed! I am sure of this. Don't blame me if the family is destroyed by then!"
Zhu Wanhong glared at Zhu Hao: "I don't believe you dare to do this."
"Oh, you disregarded family ties and wanted to report your nephew. You are unkind and you don't allow me to be unjust? I have been reported. At best, I will concentrate on working for His Majesty from now on. At worst, I will be released as a local magistrate like Zhang Cong. Don't hide it.
You said that what Zhang Cong did was all under my command, and I promised him that he would be promoted to the imperial censor of Qiandu within three years, and that he would return to the court and become a minister in five years."
"you you……"
"As for me, I will go to the local area to practice for a few years, which will keep me away from the entanglements of the capital. When Yang Ge returns to his hometown when he is old and serves as an official, I can become a minister when I return to the court, right? Maybe by then I will join the cabinet, and the Zhu family will go to the streets to beg.
Even if I have no qualifications, I will send all the Zhu family to Liaodong to kill the barbarians! Haha, it’s fun to think about it.”
Seeing Zhu Hao's mocking look, Zhu Wanhong suddenly realized that this nephew was really no ordinary scholar.
Simply more cruel than the devil.
"You do not believe……"
"You don't believe that you will kill me halfway, right? Well, let's compare it. I'm not talented and have a lot of money. It's no problem to hire hundreds of nursing homes. His Majesty will definitely send Jinyi guards to protect me. If you dare
If you attack me, I will leave no trace of the Zhu family alone.
"This is how I am. If someone respects me, I will respect him. If someone wants to stab me, I will smash his head with a hammer!"
When Zhu Wanhong heard this, he immediately realized that he really couldn't fight.
In terms of power, Zhu Hao seemed to be just an ordinary historian of the Hanlin Academy, but in fact he was assigned to thousands of households of Jin Yiwei at will, and the emperor obeyed his words.
Fight hard...
This guy is simply a devil!
Zhu Wanhong burst into tears instantly: "Nephew, my uncle didn't say a word, how could you talk so badly about him? We are all a family, why are we shouting and killing? My uncle is actually here with me.
You said goodbye. I hope we, uncle and nephew, will have a chance to meet each other in the future... From what you said, it seems that we are incompatible with each other. Is uncle that kind of person?"
…
Who are you if you are not?
However, Zhu Hao felt that Zhu Wanhong could at least listen to the truth and not be as arrogant and rude as Zhu Jia, who thought that since she was an elder, she was lawless and everything must be based on her will.
Knowing the current affairs makes you a hero!
Zhu Hao said: "Uncle, I'm just saying ugly things in front of you. We are all members of my own family, so why make it so unpleasant? Go to Nanjing and don't hinder me from doing things in the capital. This way, when Mr. Yang Ge falls, it won't be because of you.
I got too entangled with him and got implicated, and I won’t be able to explain it at that time... Even if His Majesty trusts you again, and the censors and officials will continue to impeach you, then... I am afraid that the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked.
"
"Yeah."
At this time, Zhu Wanhong behaved like Zhu Hao, "My nephew, you are far-sighted. You are really not just bragging. I am not as good as my uncle. Otherwise, if you have something to do, just write to me. If you have something to do in Jiangnan, I will go to the sword mountain for your uncle."
Even in the sea of fire, I will definitely do it for you."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Uncle, we have agreed that after you arrive in Nanjing, you must obey my instructions and you will not be polite if I have something to do."
"That's, that's..."
Zhu Wanhong was smiling all over his face, as if he had no quarrel with Zhu Hao at all, they were like uncle and nephew.
…
…
When Zhu Hao sent Zhu Wanhong to the yard with a smile on his face, Zhu Niang was still uneasy.
She felt that it would not be a small matter.
But she didn't know how to face it. The matter was too strange and completely beyond her understanding.
When she saw her son coming out with Zhu Wanhong, who was still laughing and laughing, Mother Zhu felt even more puzzled.
"Mom, I will send uncle away right now." Zhu Hao said.
Zhu Niang asked: "Things...have been resolved? Your uncle, don't you need to go to Nanjing?"
Zhu Wanhong said sternly: "What are you talking about, brother and sister? We went to Nanjing to serve the imperial court. We are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. How can we only care about our own small family and ignore everyone else? After my nephew's explanation, I, an old man,
Bones deeply understands that serving the imperial court should be done with great loyalty regardless of personal gain or loss. At this point...compared to my nephew's selflessness, I feel inferior."
Zhu Niang: "..."
Listen, are these all human words?
Previously, you cried in front of me with snot and tears, and looked ugly like you were crying to death, but now you are talking to me about justice and loyalty? Which one is better than you?
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Mom, my uncle and my grandmother are going to Nanjing. They are also appreciated by the imperial court. Don't hinder the family from being loyal to the imperial court. I will send him out!"
"Brothers and sisters, come and visit me again after I return to the capital. Let's go!"
Zhu Wanhong seemed to be in high spirits, but he was crying and scolding his mother inside, but he pretended to be calm and walked out of the door.
…
…
"Xiaohao, what is going on? Your uncle said that this matter has something to do with you?" Zhu Niang couldn't understand it at all.
Seeing Zhu Hao come back from seeing off Zhu Wanhong, he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.
Zhu Hao nodded and said, "Yes, I did it."
"you……"
Zhu Niang originally wanted to ask, why did you do this? Doesn’t this make the conflict between our third-bedroom people and the family deeper? What should the Zhu family do in revenge?
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. As long as my uncle and grandmother go to Nanjing, they won't be able to cause trouble and we can live a good life. Do you want to be worried every day? In this way, we don't even have to move.
In the future, just add more people to look after the homes and nursing homes... Let's see who dares to mess with us."
…
"it's not good?"
Zhu Niang said this, but in her heart she was still inclined to accept this result.
Probably because he doesn't admit it with his mouth, but he is very honest in his heart.
I was just worried because the old lady came to my door, but my son solved the problem in an instant, and it seemed like he was really different from back then.
"Mom, there's one more thing I want to tell you. When the Zhu family left Anlu and went to the capital, I did it behind the scenes. The purpose was the same. No matter where we are from now on, it's okay if we can't see my grandmother and the others. What are we doing?
Do you have to make yourself miserable?"
Zhu Hao smiled.
Zhu Niang rolled her eyes at her son, but a smile inadvertently appeared on her lips.
…
…
Zhu Hao didn't stay at home for dinner in the evening.
He wanted to go back quickly to review the memorial.
It turned out that Zhu Si came out of the palace that day. Zhu Si came here mainly to inquire about the progress of Zhu Hao's selection of the queen, and by the way, he also asked about Zhu Hao's family affairs.
"...Zhu Hao, you transferred your uncle to Nanjing. I think this is not enough. It is better to exile them all to the frontier, so that they will not cause you any more trouble!" Zhu Si was very sincere to Zhu Hao. Friends have
Difficult, Zhu Si felt it was his duty to help.
Zhu Hao said: "It's okay, the problem has been solved for the time being."
Zhang Zuo smiled and said: "Now is the time when Mr. Zhu is helping Your Majesty consolidate the power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Transferring Zhu Qianhu is also part of it."
Zhu Haodao: "As Eunuch Zhang said, after a while, after Eunuch Xiao is replaced, there will no longer be any instability factors in Dongchang and Jinyiwei. My uncle did a lot of things for Mr. Yang Ge before, and
Civil servants themselves are not qualified to interact with people from Jinyiwei. This is actually a kind of transgression."
"Hmph! Sooner or later, that old guy will have to get out with his tail between his legs!"
When Zhu Si mentioned Yang Tinghe, he was filled with shame and anger.
Zhu Hao knew that this was related to the fact that Zhu Si once again proposed to give honorific titles to his parents but was rejected by the cabinet.
Zhu Si was extremely active in fighting for the title of his parents, which involved the legitimacy of Zhu Si's throne. Besides, it was difficult for Zhu Si to pursue anything else at the moment. After all, the court was basically firmly controlled by Yang Tinghe, and the emperor
Even if the government decrees cannot be implemented, what else can you do besides fighting for yourself at the ceremony?
"Zhu Hao, I also heard that when choosing a queen for me this time, the Queen Mother and Yang are also secretly planning to choose their favorite person. By then I may not even be qualified to choose a queen."
Zhu Si is now very willing to believe those conspiracy theories.
But in fact, strictly speaking, this news is not a conspiracy theory. Empress Dowager Zhang and Yang Tinghe will definitely use their influence to change some results when it comes to selecting a new queen, and win over some people who are relatively likely to help the new queen.
The imperial family was squeezed out, such as allowing Zhu Hao to marry Sun Jiao to destroy the marriage between the new emperor and the ministers.
Everyone does things that harm others and benefit themselves within the scope of their abilities and the rules.
Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty should send a special envoy to the Ministry of Rites to supervise this matter."
"Um?"
Zhu Si's eyes widened, "Who?"
Zhu Si thought for a moment and found that the only people around him who were trustworthy and could be active outside the palace were Zhu Hao and Tang Yin, and neither of them could serve as special envoys to the Ministry of Rites.
As for the officials in Prince Xing's Mansion...
Even Yuan Zonggao couldn't achieve anything, let alone those mediocre people.
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "It's Aunt Jiang. I'll give him a knighthood next year. It's a good opportunity to give him more experience in the court. I don't know if others are trustworthy, but Aunt Jiang... there is absolutely no problem."
