In the eyes of outsiders, when Tang Yin went to the Inner Three Passes, he was weak and constrained by a bunch of people around him, but in fact, the purpose of his going was to win up the morale of the army.
Whether Zhu Si had the opportunity to get involved in the military power and obtain the military and political power in the northwest would make Yang Tinghe truly feel the crisis and pressure and force him to return to his hometown after becoming an official. This step is critical.
Tang Yin sets off.
Yang Tinghe looked around, and it seemed that the only people in the capital who could help the young emperor were Sun Jiao and other old ministers.
The reason why Yang Tinghe wants to transfer Tang Yin is because he really can't find who the "master" beside the new emperor is. He will transfer one person to another. As for giving him some power... he can exchange for this person to be transferred out of the capital. Yang Tinghe
It seems to be very worthwhile.
Yang Mansion Study Room.
Yang Shen came over to inform his father about Yu Chengxun and Zhu Hao's situation in Nanjing.
"...Father, now in Nanjing, the Governor's Office and Nanhubu have cooperated with Mao Gong and Jingdao to find out that the money and food problem of Southeast Coast Defense was caused by corruption and embezzlement by local officials and guards. Now is the time to employ people.
, why not transfer the two of them back to the capital earlier?"
Yang Shen knew his father's purpose of transferring Yu Chengxun and Zhu Hao to Nanjing together.
The first is to check the money and food of Haiphong, which is the biggest cover. The second is to check if there is any deficit in the Nanhu Department. But it is really difficult to expect Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun, two laymen, to find out the Nanhu Department.
The third is to test whether the two of them serve the new emperor.
Of course, there is actually a fourth purpose in Yang Shen's mind, which is that his father wants to disintegrate his small group, which can be regarded as a "beat" for his son.
Therefore, after Yang Shen determined that Yu Chengxun and Zhu Hao could not work for the new emperor, he came forward to advocate that Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun return as soon as possible.
Yang Tinghe said: "No matter how capable they are, they are just ordinary scholars compiling books in the Hanlin Academy. They have no power to tie the chicken, so what do they have to do with the overall situation?"
The implication is that the father does not intend to end the investigation too early.
Can the two people's suspicions be completely cleared now, especially Zhu Hao's suspicions?
not necessarily!
The emperor has made a lot of moves recently, but in Yang Tinghe's view, at least things are still under his control. The emperor didn't take any advantage in the fight, and he didn't see any very clever moves... When it comes to transferring Tang Yin to Neisan Pass
When he became governor, Yang Tinghe acquiesced in this matter and even contributed to it.
Yang Shen felt a little frustrated when he heard this.
But he still informed his father about the information he had learned: "...recently there is a rumor circulating in Hanyuan that His Majesty secretly sent someone to Jiangnan to inquire about Yang Sui'an and intended to bring him directly to the capital.
…”
Yang Tinghe frowned slightly.
Naturally, he had heard of this news, but he didn't take it to heart.
After all, after Zhu Si ascended the throne, he had the tradition of appointing veterans from the Hongzhi Dynasty and the early Zhengde Dynasty. Zhu Si had previously intended to re-appoint Yang Yiqing, but was rejected. Now it is like bringing up the old matter again.
But now even the people in the cabinet are spreading the news. Needless to say, the officials in the court, especially those in the Hanlin Academy system, are guessing that the little emperor clearly recommended Liu Chun to the cabinet, and the real purpose was to let Yang Yiqing
After returning to the court, this plan to secretly cross Chencang was naturally aimed at him, Yang Tinghe.
Yang Tinghe asked himself that if someone really returned to the court and could form a power confrontation with him, this person might really be Yang Yiqing.
Even if Wang Qiong returns to the court, he may not be able to compete with him. In Yang Tinghe's mind, Yang Yiqing is much more difficult to deal with than Wang Qiong.
"Then...what do you mean?"
Yang Tinghe asked his son.
Yang Shen said: "Perhaps His Majesty wants Yang Sui'an to return to the court and rejoin the cabinet, or to make him Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to check and balance his father?"
Yang Tinghe's face looked a little gloomy.
In fact, Yang Tinghe is not afraid of Yang Yiqing's return as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Compared with the cabinet bachelor, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel only looks good. In fact, under the current system, the six ministries have gradually been controlled by the cabinet, and even the six ministries are under the control of the cabinet.
The civil servants at the head of state are no exception. After all, the appointment and removal of officials must be approved by the cabinet. After entering the Jiajing Dynasty, the cabinet has gradually become the decision-making center, while the six ministries have been reduced to specific implementation ministries.
Door.
Yang Tinghe is more concerned about holding the position of chief minister of the cabinet and not allowing anyone to interfere with him in matters such as drafting votes and making imperial edicts.
So what Yang Tinghe needs to be prepared for most now is Yang Yiqing's entry into the cabinet. This means that part of the territory that belongs to him is forcibly taken away by others. Even if he cannot fight against each other, it is enough to disgust him to death.
"I know, you can go back."
Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said coldly.
Yang Shen saw that his father was impatient, so he bowed and left.
Having said all the words, he also told his own thoughts. It seemed that he didn't need to care too much whether his father adopted it or not. This was different from when the new emperor came to the throne a year ago. Yang Shen began to have his own opinions and hoped that he could go beyond what his father had given him.
He set up the framework and spread his wings to fly solo.
.........
.........
Zhu Hao, who lives in Jiangnan, seems extremely comfortable recently.
With the accounts provided by the Nanjing Department of Revenue, Zhu Hao easily found out where the deficit was. Although he knew that the deficit was at the Nanjing garrison Yamen, he could not really hold the previous chief officials of the garrison Yamen responsible. Instead, he wanted to find a "scapegoat."
"In this way, we found the local government and the guard station.
He made a report openly and contacted the Nanjing Criminal Department to investigate. Xu Pengju, the honorary garrison minister of Nanjing, even sent someone to help investigate the case.
It is equivalent to saying that criminals have suddenly become law enforcers.
Pity the bunch of scapegoats below.
On the surface, this case has actually entered garbage time. It does not matter whether Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun stay in Nanjing, but their memorials have fallen into disarray. It seems that both the new emperor and Yang Tinghe have forgotten them.
As they continued to act as "imperial envoys" in Jiangnan, they cheated people with food and drink.
Yu Chengxun went out all day that day and returned to the garden at dusk.
The first thing I did after coming in was to go find Zhu Hao and ask if there was any letter from the capital.
Zhu Hao said: "If there is any notice, I will inform Brother Mao Gong as soon as possible."
"well!"
Yu Chengxun sat down with a dejected look on his face and sighed, "Now that the matter has been found out, what are we still doing in Nanjing? Doing nothing every day makes people feel cold."
Leisure equals coldness.
Zhu Hao probably understood that Yu Chengxun was also a person with political ambitions.
But the problem is, after all, Yang Tinghe is just your father-in-law, so what if he is your biological father?
Although Yang Tinghe had great achievements, he did not seem to be the kind of old man who licked calves. This was completely different from Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son later.
This is also the reason why Yang Tinghe was not defined by history as a female official or a powerful minister in the end. This is because Yang Tinghe at least still cares about face. He will not do anything to sell his official position and win titles, and he will not do anything to do nepotism. To put it bluntly, he follows principles.
Even if you are Yang Yongxiu, will your heart feel warm?
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "I think Jiangnan is a good place. It's already October. In the north, even if the first snow hasn't fallen, it will only be in the past few days. It's freezing cold in the north, and the climate in Jiangnan is
It’s so pleasant, there are plays to watch every day, and all kinds of books can be read at any time. It’s really a good place to nourish your soul.”
Yu Chengxun looked at Zhu Hao with strange eyes.
He really couldn't understand Zhu Hao's free and easy attitude, but he had heard from Yang Shen that Zhu Hao was a lazy man. He heard that this guy liked to hang out as long as he had food to eat, so Zhu Hao repeatedly asked Yang Shen
Shen had expressed in front of him that he wanted to hire an outsider to govern one side, and it probably happened to be what he wanted now, so he felt so relaxed and comfortable.
"Are you really not in a hurry? Your family is still in the capital."
Yu Chengxun said angrily.
Zhu Hao said: "Didn't you say that I will go back before the end of the year? Why are you so anxious? If I really have the opportunity to take up my post, I will directly bring my family over... It's as if I don't have a home in Nanjing."
"oops!"
Yu Chengxun crossed his legs and said with emotion, "No one else can be like you. You are young and don't worry about everything. We people stayed in the Hanlin Academy not just for a day or two, but for several years. We can't see the end at a glance.
,who doesn’t want to be promoted as soon as possible? All day long
It's really no fun being controlled by others. The important thing is to sit in a position where others fear you and respect you."
Official fan?
What is the use?
The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was very particular about seniority. When a capable minister suddenly appeared, such as Wang Shouren, he was still suppressed.
There is no use in feeling sorry for yourself. You might as well wait until you are forty or fifty years old to become famous and become a Hanlin bachelor, a bachelor's degree, or something like that. Maybe you will have the opportunity to work as a minister of the Ministry of Rites in the future, or be transferred to Nanjing to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, or even more
There is still a chance to join the cabinet in the future!
Zhu Hao thought to himself, others can expect so much, but you, Yu Maogong, have no chance. Who bound you to Yang Tinghe?
Once Yang Tinghe becomes an official, even if you do not participate in the Zuo Shunmen incident, you will not have a place in the court.
Zhu Hao picked up an invitation from the table and handed it to Yu Chengxun.
Yu Chengxun asked: "What is this?"
Zhu Hao explained: "The invitation sent by the Nanjing Ministry of Rites said that we were invited to have a banquet. As for the level of people hosting the banquet, it is not clear. Will you go?"
"Nanjing Ministry of Rites?"
Yu Chengxun thought about it for a while.
Generally speaking, those who interact with them are the Nanjing Ministry of Husbandry and the Nanjing Ministry of War. The Ministry of Punishment will also say hello, but it seems to have nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites. Why does the Ministry of Rites need to communicate with them? Just to communicate with them two "disciples" of Yang Tinghe.
To build a good relationship? Or to be a landlord?
Zhu Hao said: "From what I see, I might as well not go if you can. This kind of entertainment is not a good thing. If Nanhu really invites us, we must go."
Yu Chengxun smiled and said: "Jingdao, you are really not sociable. In the eyes of others, especially those who have just started their career, you always try hard to make friends with local gentry and celebrities wherever you go, and establish good friendships with them.
When I come to your place...you refuse to see others when they come to your door? Haha."
Yu Chengxun smiled happily.
People like Zhu Hao don't know how to be an official at all.
The Nanjing Ministry of Rites' hot face came up to him, but he stuck to Zhu Hao's cold ass?
Zhu Hao is not the kind of person with a very powerful background. At most, his father-in-law and Sun Jiao are the number one figures. How could he dare to directly reject the invitation from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites?
Zhu Hao turned his head to the side: "Anyway, I have something to do today. If you want to go, you can go on your own."
"What game?" Yu Chengxun was curious.
Zhu Hao said: "My uncle said that the envoy of Fusi Town of Jinyiweibei Town came to Nanjing and wanted to introduce him to me. I want to go and see him."
Yu Chengxun suddenly became interested: "Take me one."
