At first, everyone thought that the emperor had said something almost impossible, and he had actually raised hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the people.
But after Zhu Si said Huang Zan's name, all the ministers present, including Yang Tinghe, fell silent.
Even Sun Jiao was thinking: "This Huang Gongxian is really not simple. Could it be that the reason why Bohu refused to speak frankly was because he was afraid of getting this man involved in the disputes in the court? But it is a good thing to solve problems for the court, so why should he do it?
Are you secretive? Is Bohu being too forward-looking and hesitant?"
"Gentlemen, do you have anything else to ask?"
Zhu Si's attitude was indifferent.
Don't do anything for me, let me solve it on my own. After the problem is solved successfully, you still jump out and question, who is the emperor?
If I hadn't known that there was no way to deal with the man named Yang now, I wouldn't have bothered to explain so much to you. People say that the court is bloated with bureaucracy, and it seems that's true.
Sun Jiao saw that all the civil servants were a little crestfallen, like a defeated rooster, so he could only step forward to push forward the issue: "Your Majesty, no matter who comes forward to mediate, they should not make the imperial court break its promise."
Zhu Si frowned at first, and then asked: "Sun Budang, what do you mean...when I was raising money and food, I made empty promises to others with my white teeth?"
"Old minister... I have no such intention."
Sun Jiao did not expect that the young emperor would speak so uprightly.
Zhu Si shook his head: "I don't know what you are thinking, whether it will cause any loss to the imperial court. Just ask Huang Shangshu of the Southern Household Department, can this matter end here today?"
After speaking, he looked specifically at Yang Tinghe, as if he was waiting for the first assistant to express his stance.
Yang Tinghe seemed not to have seen him, and stood there silently, seeming to be thinking about something else in his mind.
…
…
“Great pleasure!”
In the afternoon, after Zhu Si came out of the palace and saw Zhu Hao, he looked relieved.
Because Empress Dowager Chiang restricted him from leaving the palace, he could only sneak out during the day. Although the possibility of being discovered by the outside world was higher, there was one advantage: I would not criticize him too much if he returned before dark.
It seems that every mother hopes that her children can go home before dark.
Even if this child is an emperor, his thoughts are the same.
Zhu Hao said: "As long as the matter is resolved smoothly."
Zhu Si burst out laughing, but Zhang Zuo asked worriedly: "Mr. Zhu, will this affect Huang Shangshu? Logically speaking...he has indeed contributed, but I am afraid that Mr. Yang Ge will cause trouble for him.
.”
Zhu Si became nervous when he heard this, and quickly looked at Zhu Hao: "You won't let me lose a capable minister because of this, right?"
Zhu Hao shook his head: "If I were Mr. Yang Ge, what I should be thinking about right now is not how to bring down Huang Shangshu, but how to gather such a capable minister under my banner. Your Majesty will establish Huang Shangshu's authority in front of all the ministers.
Everyone knows his ability to manage money... At this time, I am afraid that even those who want to impeach him will have to consider whether they will provoke public outrage, and Mr. Yang Ge will not go against the trend."
"Yes, yes, I praised Huang Shangshu so much today, and no one else will do anything to him." Zhu Si seemed to have no brain, and Zhu Hao did whatever he said.
Zhang Zuodao said: "Even if Huang Shangshu is not in the court, as long as Mr. Zhu is here, everything can be solved."
He knew very well who had the greatest credit for raising money and food. It was naturally Zhu Hao. As for Huang Zan... the credit involved was mostly due to his brother-in-law Su Xigui. Huang Zan couldn't help in Nanjing even if he wanted to, but he was forced to go to Taiwan.
Came here as a cover. …
…
…
The next morning, when Zhu Hao went to discuss the issue of money and food dispatch with Su Xigui, Su Xigui was also worried that it would affect Huang Zan's career.
Zhu Hao roughly told Su Xigui about Zhu Si's analysis, but Su Xigui still couldn't let go and said nervously: "Now there are many people in the court praising Huang Gong for his outstanding ability, but this can be regarded as not giving Yang Ge the best."
face……
"It's definitely impossible for Mr. Huang to fall to Mr. Yang Ge's side. If Mr. Yang Ge finds out that he can't get back together... I'm afraid he will still cause trouble."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "With today's support, what are you afraid of?"
"only……"
What Su Xigui was worried about was not whether Huang Zan would be able to make a difference in the court in a few years. He was more worried that Huang Zan would be squeezed out by Yang Tinghe in the past two years, affecting the continuity of his official career.
Huang Zan's career could not be sustained, which had a great impact on Su Xigui's business. If Huang Zan was dismissed, who among those Huizhou merchants would listen to him, a businessman who had lost a strong backer?
For Su Xigui, this is actually a business. His idea is that even if Huang Zan is not transferred to the capital to be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he should stay in Nanjing and be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in the south. Only in this way can the business last long and he can continue.
Only by making a fortune in silence and helping the emperor raise money and food in front of you can you get corresponding rewards.
Zhu Hao said: "Your mother must be worried. Let's put it this way. With Mr. Sun and Mr. Huang in the household department, it will be difficult for others to get involved, and your business will not be affected."
"yes."
Su Xigui seemed to have thought of something and asked with a smile, "I wonder if the young master has set a date for his marriage?"
Su Xigui has a very flexible mind.
Zhu Hao said that the household department was the new emperor's confidant, which naturally involved the issue of Sun Jiao.
Now Zhu Hao is about to marry Sun Jiao and marry Sun Jiao's daughter. Probably because of this, Zhu Hao is so confident that the household department will not be touched by others.
Zhu Hao said: "It's roughly decided... at the beginning of next year, it should be after spring."
"It's too late, it's too late!"
Su Xigui shook his head with a smile, "It's best for the young master to have a small one after the big one. Besides, we can't delay the affairs of the court. It's not good for anyone to delay it... If we get the matter done early, you can feel at ease, and so will we. Then we will also feel at ease.
I will definitely give you another generous gift."
Zhu Hao smiled and nodded: "The wedding will be arranged as soon as possible so as not to disappoint you, Mr. Su."
…
…
Su Xigui was thinking about his business, Zhu Si was thinking about how to teach those civil servants a lesson, Tang Yin was thinking about how to get by, and Jiang Lun was looking forward to when he would be knighted.
Only Zhu Hao has a more complicated mind and has the ambition to help the world.
After the money and food gap in the northwest has been resolved, the most urgent thing now is to quickly find a suitable trilateral governor to preside over border affairs.
Regarding the candidates for the governors of the three sides, Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, was not inclined to support Li Yue or Meng Feng. At this time, another candidate appeared on the court's candidate list. It was just a few days ago that the governor Cao Yun was changed to the governor Fengyang.
Zang Feng.
The two phoenixes competed with each other, but Li Yue, who was appointed as the governor of the three sides in history, was the least favored.
Zhu Si has yet to express his position on this matter. Seeing civil servants fighting over personal choices, Zhu Si finds it quite amusing. This will give him the pleasure of taking full advantage of the enemy's internal conflicts and disintegrating the enemy's alliance. …
Like a grudge, Zhu Si was waiting to see the civil servants' jokes, and even the governors of the three sides were not in a hurry to make arrangements.
After Yang Tinghe experienced the emperor's private measures to raise money and food, he was extremely unhappy, but he did not express his anger at Huang Zan. Instead, he sent people to visit Huang Zan in Nanhubu, so that he could use it for himself and obey his orders.
The representative he selected was Yang Weicong, who had been transferred to Nanjing before.
After Yang Shen learned about his father's movements, he went to the study to talk to his father that night: "Father, Dafu is obviously the person in front of His Majesty, why do you want him to visit Nanhu Huangbutang? If he knows about this, he may
The news was sent back to the capital."
Yang Tinghe shook his head: "The transfer of Yang Dafu to Nanjing was rash before. In my father's opinion, someone may have done it deliberately."
"Um?"
Yang Shen was very strange.
Yang Weicong's betrayal has been proven through many practical deductions and is not doubtful because of isolated evidence. At that time, Yang Weicong was encouraged to go to Nanjing according to Yang Tinghe's wishes. Why is Yang Tinghe taking the initiative to excuse Yang Weicong now?
Yang Tinghe said: "Yong Xiu, have you ever thought that there might be someone secretly giving guidance to His Majesty? In Hanyuan, how much do you trust the new champion Zhu Hao... As a father, you feel that he is a big problem."
Yang Shen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Father, in order to prevent His Majesty from marrying Sun Butang, Zhu Hao did not hesitate to marry Sun Butang's daughter. In addition to his previous actions... Didn't my father say that he cannot be trusted by the new emperor?"
"But this person is indeed very close to the people in Prince Xing's palace."
Yang Tinghe naturally had his reasons for doubt.
Now it is said that the Zhu family was involved in the murder of Zhu Youqian's eldest son, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove it. However, Zhu Hao had frequent contacts with people in Prince Xing's Mansion, and he gradually grew up from an ignorant boy in Prince Xing's Mansion to the number one scholar in modern science.
, this is a fact even Zhu Hao himself admits.
Since Prince Xing’s Mansion initially accepted Zhu Hao to study in the Prince’s Mansion and entrusted him with trust when he grew up, isn’t this possible?
Yang Tinghe saw his son's doubts about this matter, and did not want to ruin his son's enthusiasm for doing things, so he said: "My father is doing this to test Dafu. If he can facilitate this matter, he can be transferred back to the capital to study in the Hanlin Academy."
Talents are urgently needed...there are many things going on these days...it’s hard to be a father."
Because Yang Tinghe was busy handling court affairs, those insignificant things, such as controlling the Hanlin Academy and controlling public opinion, needed someone to do it for him.
But because Zhu Hao saved Liu Chun, the Imperial Academy and Zhan Shifu were no longer in the hands of Yang Ting and Shi Yun, who had great trust.
Liu Chun was old and prudent, and respected Yang Tinghe very much, but he was far from obeying orders.
Yang Shen seemed young and energetic, but to help Yang Tinghe firmly control the Hanlin Academy, he lacked qualifications and was not qualified for higher official positions.
Yang Shen said: "Father, I don't think it is a good idea to use Dafu, but since my father said it, I can give it a try. I have one more thing to ask. The family behind Zhu Hao is involved in the internal disputes in Jinyiwei. I heard that it
My uncle has been transferred to Nanjing recently, but what does father mean?"
"What, you don't deserve it for your family?"
Yang Tinghe heard that his son was helping Zhu Hao.
Perhaps Yang Shen feels that Zhu Hao is being used by us now, and his uncle is our powerful helper. Why should Zhu Wanhong be transferred to Nanjing?
Yang Shen lowered his head: "I have no such intention."
"Better not."
Yang Tinghe said, "No matter who you trust, or who you think can be of great use, you should never trust him or her with your heart... People are separated from each other, and even the family behind Zhu Hao may not work together. Because of this, the father cannot
Because of the bad blood between Prince Xing’s Mansion and the Zhu family, I completely believe in the number one scholar who comes from the Zhu family.”
