Zhu Hao knew that he could not refuse, otherwise it would be equivalent to confirming his identity as an undercover agent.
From the time he started working for the new emperor, playing the role of Zhu Si's shadow staff, and spying on information from Yang Shen, Zhu Hao had long been mentally prepared to be suspected. To prove his "innocence", he could only resort to tricks and follow the trend.
And for.
A trip to Jiangnan is nothing to Zhu Hao.
I stopped by to see the conditions of the iron ore factories and shipyards in western Beijing, and inspected the banks along the canal, as well as my own properties in Nanjing City. It was treated as a trip at public expense.
"Am I going alone?"
Zhu Hao wanted to know who the person sent to supervise him was.
He guessed it might be Yu Chengxun.
However, this matter cannot be determined for the time being. Zhu Hao speculates that the person who followed him south is Yu Chengxun's foothold. This is because a son-in-law is different from a son. He is trusted, but not completely reliable.
Yang Tinghe failed to find the "expert" who was secretly working for the new emperor, and now he began to doubt the people around him. After all, the new emperor had known about it many times beforehand, and the possibility of having an "undercover" on his side was very high. There was Yang Weicong in front of him.
"Surrendering to the enemy", who knows whether Yu Chengxun will take the side of the little emperor?
In name, he is the father-in-law, but Yu Chengxun is not so honest. He has a concubine at home, and he also raises a wife outside. Perhaps he is not willing to be coerced by his father-in-law and wants to start his own business?
Another possibility is that Yu Chengxun may have considered that the new emperor is young and powerful, but the old father-in-law will not be in power for long, and he wants to leave a backup for himself?
Zhu Hao intuitively believed that when Yang Tinghe sent Yu Chengxun to go with him, he was asking Yu Chengxun to supervise, but in fact, he was not supervising each other.
Yang Shen kept this secret.
"I guess you are going alone, but after all, you don't have much experience in doing things in the DPRK. You need help with the verification. The specific arrangements need to be considered comprehensively. It is expected to set off in three to five days. When you arrive in Nanjing, Dafu will receive you.
"
He actually mentioned Yang Weicong?
Zhu Hao thought to himself that Yang Weicong might have been depressed in Nanjing. He got second place in the exam but was transferred out early. Yang Shen ignored his many years of friendship and forced him to come to Nanjing, but left Zhu Hao, who was born in Prince Xing's palace, by his side.
?
If he were to meet Yang Weicong, he would be extremely jealous when enemies meet!
Zhu Hao just smiled and nodded without saying anything.
…
…
Since Yang Shen came to inform Zhu Hao, there was no room for negotiation.
Since it is suspected that Zhu Hao is working for the new emperor, there is no reason to consider what Zhu Hao is thinking now. Direct transfer is the best option.
But this matter... encountered resistance in the Hanlin Academy.
Moreover, Liu Chun, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, personally opposed it.
After hearing the news, Liu Chun immediately called Yang Shen to his office and asked him face to face: "Jingdao has done a good job in the office, why do you want him to investigate some cases in Nanjing? Does he have experience? Is it possible?"
There is no one in the imperial court, so we have to recruit people from Hanyuan?"
Yang Shen didn't want to explain to Liu Chun. He knew that because of Zhu Hao's life-saving grace, Liu Chun now regarded Zhu Hao as his favorite disciple and transferred Zhu Hao to an outsider. This was simply a move against Liu Chun.
In order to have a good life in the Hanlin Academy in the future, it is not appropriate to conflict with Liu Chunqi in person...
"This is what my father meant."
Yang Shen moved Yang Tinghe out directly.
Once and for all.
Listen to this reason, is it reasonable?
Unexpectedly, it was a good thing that Yang Shen didn't mention Yang Tinghe. When he mentioned it, Liu Chun instantly became furious. Liu Chun was having an unpleasant quarrel with Yang Tinghe because of rumors that he had entered the cabinet.
Transferred, isn’t this targeted?
"This time, two of the members of Dingjia have been eliminated. Both of them were not at fault. Are we going to leave the library with no one available?" Liu Chun asked in a bombardment manner.
Yang Shen couldn't laugh or cry.
This old man Liu has such a temper. Could it be that he feels that his official career is hopeless, so he disregards propriety and official rules?
Yang Shen said: "
Xueshie Liu, do you have any misunderstandings? Dafu was transferred to Nanjing. It was because of his inability to handle affairs, and there were indeed vacancies in Nanjing. As for Jingdao...he was just going to Nanjing to verify the accounts on behalf of the imperial court, and it was my father who
My father intends to let me take advantage of his respect. According to Liu Xueshi, my father also wants to let our Yang family go out?"
"Um!?"
Liu Chun didn't expect this level.
With the information he has obtained so far, he will not think about the connection between Zhu Hao and the new emperor, let alone Yang Tinghe's real purpose is to test whether Zhu Hao is working for the new emperor, so even if he gets angry, he can't find the problem.
The root cause is that it is easy for Yang Shen to lead him astray.
Yang Shen said: "It is also because I have been ill recently, so my father asked Mao Gong to accompany him until the errands are finished... I estimate that he will be able to return to Beijing in a month or two. So Liu Xueshi should have no objection, right?"
"
Liu Chun thought about it for a while. Since it was just a temporary mission, and even Yu Chengxun, the son-in-law of the Yang family, was going with him, it didn't seem to be a big problem.
But no matter how you look at it... Yang Tinghe's move seems to be a suppression of Zhu Hao.
Didn't Yang Tinghe have the intention to transfer Zhu Hao to an outsider before? But later, he and Sun Jiao jointly resisted, so that didn't become a reality?
In Liu Chun's opinion, could it be that this time he just thought of an excuse to send Zhu Hao out on an errand, and later asked Zhu Hao to stay in Nanjing and never come back?
But if Yu Chengxun also goes there...
Liu Chun felt like his head was in a mess.
Seeing that Yang Shen was thinking hard twice, he secretly laughed in his heart, no matter how much your brother thinks, how can he think about what the Taoist father is like? After all, you still don't have the ability to join the cabinet.
"Well, Bachelor Liu, if nothing happens, I'll take my leave first. I'll go to Maogong later to explain my errands, so I'll take my leave." Yang Shen saw the opportunity and asked to leave.
Liu Chun nodded, confused in his heart, but still let Yang Shen out.
…
…
Liu Chun didn't understand the matter, so he went to ask Sun Jiao that night.
Sun Jiaodao didn't think anything of it, and calmly reassured Liu Chun. This probably meant that his Sun Jiao was in charge of Zhu Hao's side, and he would never let Yang Tinghe release Zhu Hao to Nanjing.
Even though Liu Chun felt that there was something in Sun Jiao's words, he still couldn't figure out what was strange about it.
Zhu Hao is about to make preparations to leave the capital.
First, we must arrange everything at hand, especially the series of measures to deal with Yang Tinghe. After he leaves, there will be a riot in the court, and the source of the turmoil must be a direct "attack" on Yang Tinghe.
".That is to let Liu Chun join the cabinet...
If you mention it rashly, everyone from Yang Tinghe to the ministers in the DPRK will definitely not agree.
So we have to change the way...
When the little emperor had a quarrel with Yang Tinghe over Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet, Zhu Haoren had already gone to Nanjing or even arrived in Nanjing. If Zhu Si showed a high enough level of governance in the court, then Yang Tinghe would not think about him Zhu Haoren.
The question of whether Hao secretly helps.
After Liu Chun's appointment to the cabinet is confirmed, the situation in the northwest war may change. Then the autumn grain will be put into storage. Once the game of money and grain storage scheduling in the Ministry of Household Affairs begins, Zhu Hao can completely "whitewash" himself.
Zhu Hao has been busy these two days and did not go to see Lou Suzhen.
Before leaving, Tang Yin came over to inform him that Lou Suzhen wanted to meet him.
Zhu Hao was a little confused. Did Lou Suzhen want to ask him about Ouyang Fei?
Decide on their marriage as soon as possible?
After all, Ouyang Fei will follow him when he goes to the south this time, but they will not go together. This is to avoid being noticed. Zhu Hao will not meet Ouyang Fei and the people in his business system until after Nanjing.
The day before departure, that is, August 22, Zhu Hao went to see Lou Suzhen.
Lou Suzhen came up and first asked about the North Korean envoy case that Zhu Hao was investigating.
"Oh, four assassins have been caught now, and they are all Koreans. They are part of the internal partisan strife in North Korea. The court will announce these things in the future. As for whether to hand it over to the King of North Korea at this time, the matter has not yet been decided." Zhu
Hao Dao.
Lou Suzhen said with a smile: "Young master is really a miraculous strategist. You can predict all these things in advance? Now people are spreading more and more rumors about you. Many people say that you have great supernatural powers to discern the secrets of heaven. Even the storytellers in bookstores are taking advantage of it."
This is a big deal."
Zhu Hao looked indifferent: "If you talk too much, you will make mistakes. Do you think I said the wrong thing and was sent to Nanjing to handle the case? Alas! Being an official is not easy..."
Lou Suzhen said: "I would like to ask for salary. When I arrive in Nanjing... I will help investigate the situation of Lou's family."
Sure enough, I wanted something.
Zhu Hao understands that now that Lou Suzhen is in the capital, it is difficult for the outside world to know many things. Don't count on the old people of Prince Ning's mansion. Anyone who is involved with Zhu Chenhao must be dead or exiled. The Lou family also thinks that Prince Ning's affairs are gone.
Living in various places, most of them are no longer originally from Jiangxi.
"Um."
Zhu Hao nodded.
In fact, Zhu Hao had brought a lot of news to Lou Suzhen before, but Lou Suzhen was not satisfied and wanted to know about the situation of her parents and brothers.
Lou Suzhen looked sad and said gratefully: "Young master saved my life, but I have nothing to repay, and now I have to trouble you..."
"What are you talking about, madam? We are all friends. Besides, this is not Mr. Tang..."
Zhu Hao originally wanted to give the credit to Tang Yin, but when he saw Lou Suzhen's disapproving look, he knew that some lies would be in vain.
Lou Suzhen is not a fool, and Tang Yin is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune. Some things cannot be hidden for a long time. Now that Lou Suzhen has known everything that happened, why should she help that old boy Tang Yin? You can solve your own problems by yourself.
If you can't fight for it, let a junior help you?
Do you want face?
Lou Suzhen's expression turned gloomy. She looked out the window at the ripples of autumn scenery and said, "Sir, I have one more thing I want to ask. I don't know if it's rude."
"ah!?"
Zhu Hao didn't expect Lou Suzhen to be so coy, so he smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter."
Lou Suzhen said: "Previously, "Linjiang Immortal" was circulated in the city. It is the song about the rolling waters of the Yangtze River passing by. Was it written by the young master?"
"Um!?"
Zhu Hao was puzzled, "Where did Madam get this gossip from?"
Lou Suzhen looked back at Zhu Hao: "Isn't it the Young Master's fault?"
Zhu Haodao said: "It's just that Yang Yongxiu asked me to write the first poem and said he wanted to help me become famous, so I added an old composition from the time of Xingwangfu. Unexpectedly, it has been circulated now, but no one helped me become famous. This kind of thing,
