Originally, Yang Shen and Zhu Hao were supposed to go back to the Hanlin Academy together, but apparently neither of them wanted to go back that day.
It's rare to work as an errand, and you can find an excuse to be lazy, so why go back and feel uncomfortable? Yang Shen will go to see Yang Tinghe next, while Zhu Hao is thinking about handling the matters in the workshop.
Yang Shen said: "You dare to say anything. Aren't you afraid that the Jinyiwei people will listen and think that you are instigating the two of them and let them follow your guidance and collude to confess?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "The Jin Yiwei people know better than me who they are. If the Jin Yiwei really wants to punish them, even if they don't get the truth from the two of them, there were so many accomplices the night before yesterday. Isn't it possible that they can't get away with it?"
Come? I’ll tell you by myself.”
"Be careful, it's always better to be cautious."
Yang Shen reminded me.
Obviously he did not doubt that Zhu Hao and Jin Yiwei were in the same group.
Otherwise, Zhu Hao wouldn't have tried his best to hide it in front of him? He not only helped him greet Tang Yin's people, facilitated this meeting, but also provided collusion in front of the Zhang brothers.
This shows that Zhu Hao really didn't take what he said seriously.
This is in line with Zhu Hao's personality, which is that he is easy-going and doesn't like to compete with others. He is a typical bureaucrat who just hangs around.
Zhu Hao probably sacrificed too much of his personal life for the imperial examination in the first ten years of his life. After finally getting into the imperial examination and entering the Hanlin Academy, he just wanted to be free and free.
Yang Shen himself is also the number one scholar, so he understands this feeling very well.
"where did you go?"
When Yang Shen saw that Zhu Hao was not going back to the Hanlin Academy, he couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Hao said: "Go out for a walk. The weather is too hot. There is nothing to do back in Hanyuan, so..."
"Be careful, Academician Liu has high hopes for you." Yang Shen suddenly mentioned.
Zhu Hao shrugged.
Obviously Liu Chun had tried his best to fight for him on the matter of Japanese officials, so Yang Shen said this.
And Yang Shen didn't find it strange either.
After all, Zhu Hao saved a dead man, which was known to everyone in the Imperial Academy. Liu Chun used this to thank the savior and treated Zhu Hao as a student or a junior in the family. It was reasonable and reasonable.
Don't think otherwise. After all, Liu Chun is not a member of the new emperor and can only be regarded as a neutral faction.
When Yang Shen was about to get on the carriage, he reminded him again: "The list has been reported. It is estimated that in three to five days, your speech will be finalized. By then, you will have to enter the palace to teach His Majesty...
…Hurry up and prepare your speech, it will be reviewed in advance.”
"knew."
Zhu Hao said casually and got into the carriage.
The two parted ways.
…
…
Zhu Hao's carriage went out and made a circle first, and after making sure no one was following it, it turned back and stopped at the back gate of Fusi, Beizhen, and then entered the Yamen.
Luo An learned that Zhu Hao was back and came to see him in person.
"Mr. Zhu... Yang Hanlin...?"
Luo An was very careful, thinking that if Zhu Hao returned soon after leaving, wouldn't he be afraid of being seen by Yang Shen?
Zhu Hao said: "It's okay, he has gone far away. Today I will clear up the relationship and let him come to see the Zhang family. Now there are some things that you don't need to deliberately avoid in front of him. That would look very artificial."
With that said, Zhu Hao entered the imperial prison.
Luo An was extremely impressed.
When a two-faced person reaches the level of Zhu Hao, it is simply miraculous. He is obviously the most trusted minister of the new emperor and the best candidate for the future chief minister of the cabinet, but he is also the political enemy of the new emperor. He is a disciple of the current chief minister Yang Tinghe's faction. Even Yang Tinghe's son is against him.
Zhu Haodu has great trust...
"Originally I was leaving, but I just wanted to remind you of something. Now... why don't I take charge of this case?" Zhu Hao asked with a smile.
Luo An said: "Mr. Zhu said with a smile, this case will be handled by you from beginning to end. I am willing to obey your orders."
"You're so polite. You're all doing something for His Majesty. That's it. Ask them to write a letter later.
Give the family letter to the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty as a plea for mercy, and you can pass it on... If they don't want to write it, just find someone to write it in their name, and there is no need to embarrass them too much."
"Then we send people to their houses and pretend to raid their homes... In this matter, it is necessary to make loud noises but not rain. After all, the audience in the capital bookstore recently are still waiting to hear the rest of the story...
"
Zhu Hao said with a smile, as if he was telling a joke.
Luo An felt that Zhu Hao's method of doing things was very strange. What if he broadcast the Zhang brothers' robbery of a bank account live, but also included a follow-up story? This is to divide the Zhang brothers' deeds into three parts, upper, middle and lower, and tell them to the whole world.
It is simply to make the Zhang brothers synonymous with idiots.
Of course, Luo An could also feel that Zhu Hao's main purpose of doing this was to promote the safety of bank accounts to the world.
As for whether there are other purposes, it is not something that a warrior like Luo An can figure out.
…
…
On the same day, Queen Mother Zhang saw letters of pleading from her two younger brothers.
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, as Zhu Hao had taught them before, said they were going to the bank to withdraw money. However, because of the big fight, they were misunderstood. As for the silver to be moved away, it was the silver they wanted to get back.
Immediately, Queen Mother Zhang quickly asked the young eunuch to forward the letter to Zhu Si, but she did not know that Zhu Si also received a nearly identical letter.
Zhu Si specially called Yang Tinghe and four other cabinet ministers to the Qianqing Palace for discussion.
"...Pavilion elders, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhu Si seemed very easy-going this time, as if he wanted to let the Zhang brothers go.
Fei Hong came out and said: "We should strictly investigate to the end. Some words should not be taken lightly."
Yang Tinghe did not express his position.
Generally speaking, Yang Tinghe should come out to intercede for the Zhang brothers.
But interceding for the robber, is that still Yang Tinghe's style?
As the people of Empress Dowager Zhang, the Zhang brothers should have advanced and retreated together with Yang Tinghe, but they couldn't lead this kind of pig teammates, so they simply pretended not to hear, and Yang Tinghe didn't say a word.
Zhu Sidao: "I want to send someone to check... In this case, let the new Minister of Punishment go. I heard that he will arrive in the capital later today."
Yang Tinghe's heart skipped a beat.
Lin Jun is coming to Beijing?
Why didn't I hear about it?
Lin Jun came to the capital to serve as an official. It was impossible for the ministers to know where he went. Moreover, Yang Tinghe did not have many people to inquire about Lin Jun's whereabouts. It was expected that Lin Jun would be notified as soon as possible after arriving in the capital.
, you can see me at the meeting the next day, and you can talk freely.
Whereabouts Zhu Si clearly informed Lin Jun’s whereabouts, saying that he would arrive in the capital today, and at this time, the case of the Zhang brothers happened to be related to prison...
Could this be the same as the previous case of Yang Tingyi, in which the new emperor deliberately targeted him? Even if it was not targeting Yang Tinghe, could it be targeting Lin Jun?
Mao Ji cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Butang is new here and doesn't understand many things. Why not... let someone else investigate the case."
"Oh, that's it. Let's let the left minister of the Ministry of Justice go. Yan Qing's family has done a good job in handling the cases of the two uncles." Zhu Si first recommended Lin Jun to take charge of investigating the case, and now he let Yan Yishou go.
.
Yang Tinghe felt relieved a little.
Since the little emperor didn't have any insistence on choosing the person to investigate the case, he seemed to choose the person at random, so he thought there should be no problem.
And he couldn't think of any conspiracy behind it.
The Zhang brothers' robbery of the bank account... This has nothing to do with Lin Jun and Yan Yishou, right? He, Yang Tinghe, didn't know about this in advance...
Wait, is this related to the previous fight in Xishan?
He didn't know about the current robbery of the silver account, but the people from Zhang's Coal Mine fighting against Jinyi Guards were directly related to Yang Tinghe!
When Zhu Si saw that the four cabinet ministers were silent, he couldn't help but said: "Is there any problem? Mr. Yang Ge?"
Yang Tinghe cupped his hands and said, "We should investigate clearly, but should Shouning Marquis and Jianchang Marquis be transferred to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"
"good."
Zhu Sidao: "How about this? Let them return home first and put them under house arrest in their respective mansions. Do you have any objections?"
Ouch.
Several ministers were surprised.
The little emperor let go of his two nominal uncles so quickly?
This doesn’t look like the little emperor’s usual behavior!
No matter how it seems, the Zhang brothers have all been taken advantage of. Shouldn't the little emperor now make a big fuss and take the opportunity to suppress the Zhang brothers?
Why were they allowed to go back home so easily?
Yang Tinghe said: "No. Before the case comes to light, it should be kept in the Ministry of Punishment, but not in a prison cell."
Whenever the little emperor advocated something, even if Yang Tinghe couldn't understand the reason, he would still object to it verbally, and then look at the little emperor's reaction to decide on the follow-up actions.
Zhu Sidao: "Then listen to Mr. Yang Ge, this is how it is now. I don't want to wrong the two uncles. They are always my closest relatives, but I have to say hello to the people from the Ministry of Punishment and not let them embarrass the two uncles... Otherwise
I can't do anything to my mother."
…
…
The emperor showed himself to be extremely benevolent and righteous.
It seems that he never intended to embarrass the Zhang brothers from the beginning. The Zhang brothers were responsible for everything. Now the emperor wants to pardon the Zhang brothers, but due to the court's regulations and the obstruction of the cabinet's academicians, especially the chief minister, he cannot do so.
Zhu Hao was meeting Lou Suzhen at this time.
Sun Lan did not come to the workshop that day. Lou Suzhen and Zhu Hao had lunch together, and during the meal Sun Lan was mentioned.
"...It's okay, madam. She has been very fascinated by spinning machines recently, and she can't even take care of her usual calligraphy and painting." Lou Suzhen said.
"oh."
Zhu Hao nodded and continued eating.
Lou Suzhen asked curiously: "Young master seems to rarely see his wife?"
"Uh...yes."
Zhu Hao replied.
Lou Suzhen said: "Why is this? In fact, I can tell that there is a gap between the young master and his wife. Until now... they have not consummated their marriage?"
Lou Suzhen originally thought that Zhu Hao was busy with official duties and rarely had the opportunity to go back to see Sun Lan, so she asked Sun Lan to come over and find something to do to kill time.
But as the contact deepened, she began to understand that Zhu Hao and Sun Lan didn't look like a couple at all, and they didn't even have a basic couple life.
Zhu Hao said: "Since we are friends...or not even friends, there is no need to make progress so fast."
"Now...since they are both husband and wife, how can we talk about progress? The young master's ideas are really different from those of people today. Could it be that the young master...has other preferences?" Lou Suzhen was also very familiar with Zhu Hao, and she actually asked some questions
It seems like a topic that shouldn’t be involved. This chapter has been completed!
