When Zhu Si heard Sun Jiao mention Liu Chun, he just said "oh", as if he had also considered this candidate.
Zhu Sidao: "Mr. Sun, I know that Xueshi Liu may be suitable for joining the cabinet, but I actually want to ask, if... we can break the rules, for example, to recommend someone who is not very experienced, not very famous, or someone who others think is not very good.
What can be done to get someone who can convince the public to join the cabinet?
"Is there any such thing as an assessment system? For example, if someone has excellent political performance, we can directly let him join the cabinet without following any old rules?"
Sun Jiao was stunned.
someone...
Your Majesty, you are beating around the bush, to put it bluntly, you just want to recommend Tang Yin to the cabinet!
Sun Jiao asked: "Your Majesty, do you mean to elect someone from among the old members of Prince Xing's mansion to join the cabinet?"
"hehe."
Zhu Si smiled, "Actually, I really have this idea. For example, it would be good to let Mr. Sun join the cabinet."
Of course Sun Jiao knew that Zhu Si was joking.
If others don’t tell me what my grandson is like, don’t I still know it myself?
He's just a loach who can do whatever he wants and doesn't hold back!
I, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, have already troubled Your Majesty. If you are looking for someone to join the Cabinet, you will definitely not use me as a faggot, right?
Sun Jiaodao: "I have no virtue and incompetence, and I cannot deserve your majesty's praise. I would like to ask your majesty, the person you want to promote to the cabinet is Tang Bohu?"
"Ah! Mr. Tang? No, no, no, I'm not talking about him."
Zhu Si was also startled.
Why did Tang Yin suddenly come up?
If we want to promote Tang Yin out of the ordinary, do we need to ask you, Sun Jiao, to ask for advice? Since I asked you to come, there must be someone you and I both want to make him fly to the sky, and that is Zhu Hao.
"I don't know..."
Sun Jiao insisted on not letting go. He never imagined that it would be Zhu Hao who the young emperor wanted to promote to the cabinet.
Zhu Si sighed: "It's Zhu Hao."
"..."
Sun Jiao was speechless for a moment.
The little emperor is really unique in his behavior!
You dare to mess around with anything, and letting Tang Yin enter the Hanlin Academy has already made the four cabinet ministers worried. Now you actually want to directly promote Zhu Hao to the cabinet without exception?
Don’t you know that the result of doing this is that the court’s laws will no longer exist?
This is not helping Zhu Hao, but harming him!
Zhu Sidao: "Jingdao and I grew up together. To me, he was both a teacher and a friend. In the past, the teachers in the royal palace changed one after another, but only Zhu Hao was always by my side, teaching me knowledge and talking about life.
Logically speaking, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is my husband."
"In the past, in Prince Xing's Mansion, my third sister, the eldest princess, and I all called him Mr. Zhu."
"..."
Sun Jiao continued to be speechless.
Now except for this pair of monarchs and ministers, Zhang Zuo, who was accompanying the driver, lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything.
Sun Jiao finally understood why Zhu Hao had gained the respect of Jiang Lun and Tang Yin before, even though they were both much older than Zhu Hao, especially since Tang Yin was nominally Zhu Hao's mentor.
It seems to be the result of the little emperor's deliberate connivance.
Zhu Sidao: "It is simply unrealistic to promote Mr. Tang to the cabinet. Firstly, he is a scholar, and secondly, he has no experience in the Hanlin Academy, so it is not feasible according to the rules. As for Zhu Hao, he was the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty and is now a member of the Hanlin Academy.
Compilation is only one step away from serving as a reading and serving as a lecturer. Isn't there any chance of special promotion?"
Sun Jiao was very worried after hearing this.
The young emperor was so eager to cultivate Zhu Hao as a cabinet scholar. Could it be that Zhu Hao himself proposed it?
If Zhu Hao really doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he may be the second Jiang Bin.
"Your Majesty, I believe you must not act too hastily! Even if you trust Jingdao, he is only a teenager. No matter how he joins the cabinet, it will be difficult to convince the public. I am afraid it will make people think that Your Majesty is nepotistic... Your Majesty, I don't know
Whose idea was this?"
Sun Jiao wanted to know if his son-in-law was really like this
Don't know good from evil.
Zhu Si shook his head: "No one mentioned it to me, I came up with it myself. Zhu Hao has always asked me to be patient and wait until old Yang Ge takes office to realize his ambitions, but I feel that it is very aggrieved to be the emperor now.
There is not even a single person in the government who can help me speak up. Only when Zhu Hao enters the court can I reverse the decline in one fell swoop and challenge Mr. Yang Ge head-on."
When Sun Jiao heard this, he was stunned.
What has Zhu Hao done to make Your Majesty trust him so much?
"Your Majesty, don't you have Eunuch Zhang in front of you? There are many ministers who can assist, including Bohu, and even... there are also veterans."
Sun Jiao was anxious.
Holy lord, your thoughts are very dangerous. How can you rely on a young man of your age for everything?
You are not like a wise king, but have the tendency to be a coward.
Zhu Si frowned slightly, his eyes falling on Zhang Zuo who was silent at the side.
Zhang Zuo waved his hand quickly: "My slave is not capable of this... I still have a lot to learn from Mr. Zhu..."
Mr. Zhu...
Just this title made Sun Jiao take a deep breath.
Too dangerous!
Because of the new emperor's trust in Zhu Hao, even the chief ceremonial officer, the eunuch, and the dignified minister were "forced" to call a young man sir?
What kind of nepotism is this?
Ming Dynasty may be in chaos because of this!
Sun Jiao said: "Your Majesty, no matter how powerful Zhu Hao is, he is still far from joining the cabinet to handle court affairs. I firmly disagree."
"oops."
Zhu Si said helplessly, "Mr. Sun, I called you here to ask for advice. I want to see if there is any way to promote Zhu Hao in an exceptional way. It does not mean that he will be appointed to the cabinet immediately... How could I not know that Mr. Yang Ge
Waiting for the ministers to object fiercely to this? But in terms of ability... Zhu Hao is more than enough to be the chief assistant, let alone join the cabinet."
"Your Majesty, how could you do this? This... is unreasonable!" Sun Jiao became even more anxious and almost hit his head against a pillar on the spot, trying to persuade the emperor with a fatal remonstrance.
Zhang Zuo noticed Sun Jiao's excitement and hurriedly came out to explain: "Mr. Sun, don't be anxious. Some things are different from what you think."
Sun Jiaodao: "Eunuch Zhang, don't speak for Jingdao. He is my junior. Even if he is a little impatient, he can't be too pampered. There are many people in the world who can do things. We can't just because he is close to Your Majesty.
Deliberate cultivation and promotion will make the Ming Dynasty's laws chaotic and follow the footsteps of the previous empresses."
"this……"
Zhang Zuo was speechless and realized that Sun Jiao mistook Zhu Hao for Qian Ning and Jiang Bin.
Zhang Zuo felt uncomfortable holding some words in his heart, but he was not qualified to say them out. Only Zhu Si could pierce the window paper.
It would be fine if Zhu Hao said it himself, but what if he is so likely to expose himself?
"well!"
Zhu Si sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Mr. Sun, do you know who helped me the most when I was the crown prince?"
Sun Jiao thought to himself, even if you thought it was Zhu Hao, you must have misunderstood, after all, he was just a child at that time!
Zhu Sidao: "That's right, it's Zhu Hao. He planned everything for me and told me to be patient. This world will be mine sooner or later. When I went to the capital to wait for the imperial order to take over the throne of King Xing, I stayed for a long time and refused to return. It was him again
Teach me to have fun and make the people in the court relax their vigilance, but at the same time teach me how to be a competent emperor instead of a peaceful king."
Sun Jiao really couldn't listen to it anymore. These words were too biased. Emperor, you only said it was Zhu Hao's contribution... then no one else in Prince Xing's palace had any contribution?
Zhu Sidao: "After I ascended the throne, Zhu Hao helped me take care of all the affairs of the court, allowing me to slowly gain a foothold."
"Um?"
When Sun Jiao heard this, he finally felt that something was wrong.
Help the emperor take care of all affairs in the court?
How to take care of it?
Open a mine? Auction the mine? Or make a fuss about the grand ceremony?
But... wasn't Zhang Cong the one who proposed the Great Rites Discussion?
Zhu Sidao: "
Mr. Sun must not blame me for neglecting the affairs of the court... In fact, after I came to the throne, I asked Zhu Hao for advice on all matters in the court, and even the inscriptions and memorials were mostly approved by Zhu Hao on my behalf..."
"His Majesty……"
Hearing this, Sun Jiao's heart was overturned.
Good guy.
Zhu Hao helped the emperor review memorials?
This little emperor's ability to criticize and criticize essays was obvious to both the government and the public.
It can be said that the new emperor was able to quickly gain a foothold and compete with Yang Tinghe because the courtiers felt that the young emperor was talented and capable of handling all aspects of the government when he just took over the government.
, winning word of mouth praise.
And all this... was actually done by Zhu Hao?
How did he do it?
"Mr. Sun, are you curious about how Zhu Hao helped me? In fact, Zhu Hao... can imitate my handwriting without any mistakes. When I was a child, I practiced calligraphy and often used Zhu Hao's imitations, so... this is a little bit...
My father-in-law should know very well." When Zhu Si said this, he actually looked slightly interested.
Zhang Zuo continued to lower his head and remained silent.
Zhu Sixiang boasted about Zhu Hao's awesomeness, but Zhang Zuo felt faintly worried.
Without discussing this matter with Zhu Hao in advance, he brought Sun Jiao over to discuss how to get Zhu Hao to join the cabinet as an exception, and even revealed such a confidential matter. There was no guarantee that Sun Jiao would not kill relatives for the sake of the stability of the court.
But Zhang Zuo thought about it and realized that some things were too absurd and bizarre. Even if Sun was handed over to the palace to report, others might not be willing to believe it, right?
Zhu Hao, a young man who had no foothold in the government, actually helped Emperor Zhu criticize him every day? How could he do so with ease? Who would believe it?
But Sun Jiao really believed it.
Sun Jiao is not the kind of person who just listens to the wind. After a long period of research and speculation, he finally discovered that... Zhu Hao's status in the Xingwang Palace system was higher than that of Tang Yin, Jiang Lun and even Zhang Zuo, and the late Ge
His minister Yuan Zonggao even stood aside and seemed to have never been reused by the new emperor.
What has Zhu Hao done to earn him such a lofty status? To make people obey orders?
Just because the little emperor trusted him?
Obviously not enough.
That can only mean that Zhu Hao did something that others could not do.
Now that the new emperor said that Zhu Hao helped review the memorials, then everything makes sense, because Zhu Hao can be a hidden minister, secretly controlling everything in the court, allowing the new emperor's power to rise rapidly, forcing Yang Tinghe to retreat step by step, then Zhu Hao will
Can be respected and supported by everyone in the Xinhuang system.
Otherwise, the details that Sun Jiao had previously observed through daily accumulation would be unexplainable.
"Your Majesty, how can you entrust the affairs of the court to a foreign minister?"
Although Sun Jiao was in disbelief, he still persuaded Zhu Si to stop.
In the end, it was a disruption of the imperial court's rules and regulations.
Zhu Sidao said: "Zhu Hao is not considered a foreign minister. Besides, he helped me handle those things. He told me everything and did not hide it. Why should I doubt a loyal minister who can do things for the people of the world?"
