Tang Yin's proposal to be promoted to Right Minister of Household Affairs was temporarily shelved, but that did not mean that the emperor was willing to let it go.
Among the civil servants, whether they were sympathetic to Yang Tinghe or not, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
How could a tutor who was born in a royal palace and was once a down-and-out judge, be able to become a minister of the Sixth Ministry with "mere military achievements" in his later years?
Isn’t the court a place where rules are enforced?
If he was a Jinshi, we would recognize him, but we can't stand it if he is just a candidate!
When Yang Tinghe returned to the cabinet for duty, Jiang Mian was surprised and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Jie speak out against His Majesty before? This kind of precedent cannot be set."
Liu Chuntao on the side said: "Now that Tang Yin has taken control of the Xuanfu, and Datong is in charge of military affairs, it is reasonable to be promoted to Minister."
Fei Hong went over to grab Liu Chun, who was an upright person, and asked him to stop talking nonsense.
Even if we all know that the new emperor insisted on promoting you to the cabinet, the cabinet is always a place based on seniority. How can you openly contradict the chief minister Yang Tinghe?
Liu Chun felt that he was just discussing the matter. Besides, had Yang Tinghe expressed his support? Didn't Yang Tinghe agree with Tang Yin's promotion to the governor of Xuanda? Why did others think that Yang Tinghe did not support Tang Yin's promotion to the Ministry of Household Affairs?
Where is the right servant?
Yang Tinghe ignored Liu Chun's question and said: "I should look for the Queen Mother to warn Her Majesty not to do whatever you want in employing people."
meaning is.
I, Mr. Yang, knew that I couldn't stop what happened this time, so I simply didn't come forward. But I don't mean to support Tang Yin being the Right Minister of Household Affairs.
Tang Yin can be allowed to be the governor-general of Xuanda, but he is a foreign official after all, but it is absolutely impossible to allow him to be the right minister of the household department! I, Mr. Yang, also have a stand.
Tang Yin wants to be a minister?
You must first pass the test of me, Yang!
Jiang Mian agreed with Yang Tinghe: "It seems that this is the only way."
The courtiers tried to persuade the emperor, but they probably couldn't do it. Previously, when Tang Yin had not made any achievements, the emperor had no scruples in appointing Tang Yin. Now that Tang Yin has made achievements, the only way to persuade the emperor is to rely on the Queen Mother.
Liu Chun listened for a moment and found out that just one word from you was enough to overturn his outlook on life.
The minister did not use his own ability to persuade the emperor, but actually wanted to ask the queen mother to take action? How is that different from blackmailing the emperor? In the past, this was how the cabinet handled problems?
What an eye-opener!
Yang Tinghe found a relationship and went to the palace through a familiar eunuch to convey this intention to Empress Dowager Zhang.
But in fact, Empress Dowager Zhang was... indifferent to this.
Because recently, the two Zhang brothers have praised Tang Yin a lot.
On this day, Zhang Heling requested an order to come to the palace to meet his sister. In fact, he came to complain to his sister. After seeing his sister, he didn't say a few words before he mentioned his younger brother Zhang Yanling, who was still stranded in the northwest.
"...Sister is really biased. The second brother is not good at all, so she arranged for him to go to the northwest. This is a good time. I followed a man named Tang and got military merit casually. Why didn't you let me go? Everyone said
If the wife favors the younger son, will the elder sister also favor the younger brother?"
Zhang Heling almost burst into tears.
We are all part of the Zhang family, so why can my younger brother go to the northwest with Tang Yin to do military exploits? But I can only stay in the capital and enjoy the northwest wind?
Empress Dowager Zhang sighed: "I didn't expect that Yanling would be able to make such great achievements after arriving in the northwest. If I asked you to go, would you be willing to go?"
"Why don't you go?"
Zhang Heling—Deputy sister, you look down on me.
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Then I'll arrange it for you next time."
Zhang Heling became angry when he heard this, and shouted: "Is there such a good opportunity next time? Gold is falling from the sky, why did it just fall on the second son's head like shit? Is the second son the one who can defeat me?
Oh my God, this is not fair!"
In addition to complaining to my sister, I even have to complain to God.
Queen Mother Zhang listened tirelessly.
"He Ling, I asked my younger brother to go because I was considering
Come on, you are the eldest son in the family and can successfully be promoted to Duke, but your brother does not have your kindness and can only rely on himself, so let him try. I just want him to walk around the inner three levels.
Who would have thought that there would be a war with the Communist Party while staying in Neisan Pass? It can be said that it is all a coincidence. Even if you go there, you may not be able to bump into it! "
Queen Mother Zhang patiently explained to her brother.
Zhang Heling said: "I don't care, my sister will compensate me!"
Empress Dowager Zhang said angrily: "You're just trying to get something wrong! Now even if Yan Ling has military exploits, the courtiers still can't figure out how to make plans. Do you think this is a good thing? The civil servants have already made a secret report, saying that they want to
I advise your majesty not to attach great importance to Tang Yin. Doesn’t this mean there is a rift between the emperor and his ministers? "
Zhang Heling said with a smile: "That's good. Why don't we demote Tang Yin to a commoner and let him work as a teacher in my Shouning Hou Mansion? I will only care about his food and drink."
"Nonsense! Look what are you thinking? He is now in charge of military affairs and is your teacher?" "Empress Dowager Zhang thinks that her brother is simply crazy.
Zhang Heling said: "I can see that the second son is today thanks to Tang Yin. However, it is said that Yutian Bo Jiang Lun has a good relationship with Tang Yin. Otherwise, sister, you can take the opportunity to transfer me to Xuanfu. I happen to be bored in the capital."
Come on, I can trade with the second child, or we can join the army together."
Now for Zhang Heling, Tang Yin is a hot cake.
Zhang Yanling, who had accomplished nothing for most of his life, could actually rely on Tang Yin to obtain military honors?
Who would believe it?
But it has become a reality!
When Zhang Yanling returns to the capital, won't his position in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion become more stable?
From now on, you can legitimately obtain military power!
This kind of good thing is taken by the second child, and I, the eldest, have to share in it. Even if it may be too late to go now, how can I know if I can achieve military success if I don't try?
Maybe Tang Yin has a big plan for the next step!
"Nonsense, take what was given to you and get out of the palace as soon as possible! The Ai family doesn't want to see you! Someone, send him out!"
Queen Mother Zhang was too lazy to explain anything to her younger brother.
When he came to the palace, he blackmailed her for another sum of money, but in order to silence her brother, she admitted it.
Now that even the throne has fallen to someone else, what else can I do if I don't think of a way to fill the gap for my natal family? Move as many things as possible out of the palace, and I will act as my elder sister and fulfill the responsibilities of the Zhang family.
Even though Zhang Heling had been carried out of the Renshou Palace, he was still heard shouting outside: "I will also devote myself to the Ming Dynasty. Sister, I must tell my nephew that I, the uncle of the country, also have to sacrifice my life and blood for the Ming Dynasty. It is my duty to do so."
ah……"
"well!"
After hearing this, Queen Mother Zhang couldn't help but sigh heavily.
She didn't understand what was wrong with her brother.
Yang Tinghe expected Empress Dowager Zhang to persuade his son not to think highly of Tang Yin, but his plan failed.
From a big point of view, Queen Mother Zhang was not too picky about Zhu Si, her adopted step-son. As for who the new emperor wanted to appoint, Queen Mother Zhang really didn't want to interfere too much, lest her son think that her mother-in-law was not kind enough.
At first Empress Dowager Zhang did feel that the throne was given to Zhu Si by herself and could be taken back at any time.
But as Zhu Si has been on the throne for more than a year, Empress Dowager Zhang has also accepted her fate. Even if someone is replaced, she may not be able to do a better job than Zhu Si. Besides, Zhu Si has basically fulfilled his duties as an emperor, except that he rarely comes to the throne.
Saying hello to her made her unhappy... She actually didn't want to see Zhu Si more.
I always think of my own son unconsciously.
After all, Zhu Houzhao is his own flesh and blood.
As for Zhu Si, someone else's son, even his own mother took him to the palace... He didn't raise him hand-in-hand, let alone that he has no feelings for me, even he has no feelings for this adopted step-son, just for the sake of it.
Heir to the lineage of Xiaozong.
Who needs his filial piety?
When Zhang Heling returned home, he was filled with righteous indignation. Not only did he feel that his younger brother had gotten lucky, but he also felt that his sister was partial. He even felt that he should leave without saying goodbye and go to the Xuan Mansion in person to serve the country by joining the army.
"Master, the second master has returned with a message." Just as Zhang Heling was sitting in his study room sulking, a servant brought over a letter written by Zhang Yanling.
But the Zhang family obviously had no privacy at all, and the letter had obviously been opened and read by someone.
Zhang Heling asked with a straight face: "What did he say?"
The servant laughed and said: "The second master said something funny. He said that he was drunk and was dragged to discuss the war. As soon as he woke up, it was decided to send troops. Later, he was confused and slept with a woman in his arms in the camp.
, I heard that there was a great victory early the next morning! "
"I'll fuck my grandma!"
Zhang Heling threw the tea cup in front of him to the ground and was immediately shattered into pieces.
The servant was still laughing there, but when he saw this scene he stopped laughing.
Isn't this fun?
The second master, who was ignorant and unskilled, came back with military exploits in a daze. The letters home announcing the good news were all written in such "unconventional" ways that they could have made the Shouning and Jianchang Marquises celebrate together. However, the result was... the eldest master was...
Angered?
"You said he was lucky, but you really stepped on shit! What do you think he is capable of? If I went, wouldn't I do better than him? It's really..."
Zhang Heling's words made the servants understand.
My master is jealous of his younger brother's achievements and is feeling sorry for himself here.
The servant said: "Master, this life is given by God. You can do whatever you want. Who would have thought that this credit would go to the second master? But there are rumors outside that the most powerful one is Mr. Tang. He is
He’s really awesome, and he’s even said to be a god descending to earth.”
Zhang Heling wrinkled his nose and said: "Don't bring up such nonsense in front of me again. Why is he not the Jade Emperor? Damn it, I have been ill recently. I don't see anyone, so they say I'm sick."
The servant said: "Master, it seems that no one comes to our house usually, right?"
After being glared at by Zhang Heling, the servant learned the lesson and hurriedly put Zhang Yanling's home letter with his arms stretched out in front of the desk where his master was sitting, and then fled as fast as he could.
"My credit! Wow..."
After the servants left the door, they heard Zhang Heling crying and howling in the study.
The servant said to himself: "If you don't have this fate, who do you blame? His grandma? Just like your brother's grandma is not your grandma! "
