Zhu Si refused to let him bother Zhu Hao, which meant that he had to figure out by himself what the best result would be.
But in fact, the reality is also very disappointing.
Because no matter how he checked, there would be no results. It seemed that he could only declare that the examination was fair and impartial and that no fraud or selfish behavior occurred based on the guidance given by Zhu Mingyang from the Etiquette Department.
After two days, Tang Yin was busy for a long time and felt extremely depressed.
It's like the emperor and Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, jointly asked me to come out and investigate a "major case" that caused a stir in the government and the public as a non-official. All the scholars were eagerly waiting for me, but in the end, after a lot of effort, there was no result?
Even he felt like a failure.
…
…
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
On the third day of March, the case had been investigated for two days, and Zhu Mingyang reported the preliminary results.
Zhu Si held the report in his hand and looked at it for a long time, his expression calm. Zhang Zuo beside him didn't know what the little emperor was thinking about this matter.
"...Your Majesty, in fact, this time it is really difficult for Mr. Tang. Even the Jinyi Guards are not dispatched now. Mr. Tang is only asked to go to the Gongyuan. At most, he will read the sealed files. If you use this, you can find out who is involved. I'm afraid it will be too difficult for people to deal with issues or collusion between internal and external parties."
Zhang Zuo began to speak for Tang Yin.
It's not that Tang Yin doesn't do things, but that the enemy is too cunning.
Zhu Si put down the preliminary results reported by Zhu Mingyang, his expression was still neutral, and his tone was very calm: "I know, there is no result at all."
Zhang Zuodao: "Therefore, from the beginning, there was no result. I asked Mr. Tang to investigate, let him accumulate a reputation among the scholars, and let the scholars in the world know that your Majesty has doubts about this matter..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Zuo suddenly stopped.
Zhu Si rolled his eyes at him and sneered: "You are becoming more and more clever."
"Ah, you deserve to die. You should not speculate on the will of the Holy Spirit."
Zhang Zuo hurriedly knelt down and said in fear.
Zhu Si stood up from his chair and said: "You are right. As long as I order the investigation, I can give the scholars an explanation and make them feel that I and the court have done something. As for the result, maybe those The scholars themselves also know that the person named Yang is now in control of the government, and no one can find out the result. In the end, they can only pass on their resentment to the person named Yang."
When Zhang Zuo heard this, he seemed to have guessed it right.
It turns out that my IQ is equal to that of Zhu Hao. It seems that I have made great progress.
But then Zhu Si's words made Zhang Zuo feel frustrated.
"But who said that there will be no results at all? Then I will tell you what it is, isn't it just what it is? Don't be smart when things happen."
After Zhu Si finished speaking, Zhang Zuo was stunned.
Although Zhu Hao's relationship has not come out yet, it does not mean that he will remain dormant forever. If Zhu Hao does come out in the next step, the impact may be to set off huge waves in the DPRK.
…
…
Zhu Hao is content to "serve his mother" at home these days.
She usually doesn't leave the study, so Sun Lan moved here from home, and now she behaves like a filial daughter-in-law.
After Zhu Hao stayed at home for several days, he finally received his first visitor. It was not Yang Shen or Tang Yin, but Sun Jiao.
Sun Jiao heard that his mother-in-law was sick, so he specially sent someone to visit her with gifts. However, it was not appropriate for him to enter the widow's house, so he sent someone to greet his daughter first, and he also brought a doctor with him when he arrived. ...In this way, he did not come alone, but came with cordial greetings, so that people can feel his full sincerity.
But in fact, after he entered the mansion, he went to calligraphy together with Zhu Hao who came out to greet him, without even seeing Zhu Niang's face.
"... In the past two days, everyone in the government and the public has been discussing the trial. As expected, you still took action. However, looking at the situation in the past two days, even if Bohu went to Gongyuan to conduct a thorough investigation, the Ministry of Rites would not reveal any information to him.
, I guess it will be settled." Sun Jiao shook his head.
Zhu Hao nodded: "Yes."
Sun sighed: "I didn't come here to tell you this. Even though you are in Beijing, you never show up. I know you are doing something behind the scenes, but you don't know the details, which makes people very worried."
Sun Jiao is now a bit addicted to being an official.
It wasn't the official position itself, but what he did that made him addicted.
Seeing how Zhu Hao was behind the scenes and helping the little emperor deal with Yang Tinghe, he found it very interesting.
Especially at first, he looked down upon Zhu Hao, feeling that he was too eager for quick success at such a young age. Through in-depth understanding, he finally discovered that Zhu Hao was a talent, not only good at planning, but also always able to solve problems in some fancy ways.
Staying in the capital as an official is much more interesting than before.
It’s so cool to see God’s perspective.
Sun Jiao knew that all of this was planned by Zhu Hao behind his back, but Zhu Hao was hiding at home and could not come out. Sun Jiao scratched his head and felt itchy, and insisted on coming to find out what was going on.
"What are you doing these days?"
Sun Jiao asked.
Zhu Haodao: "I have been drawing some things these days. I mentioned building a train to Mr. Sun before, right? Oh, I don't think I mentioned it... I just built an iron shell that can emit smoke in Xishan and can transport goods.
To the capital, in the future, this kind of thing with strong transportation capacity will be extended from Xishan all the way to Xuanfu and then to Datong. This side will be connected to the canal and will develop towards Yongpingfu or Jiangnan..."
Sun Jiao seemed to be listening to heavenly scriptures, and his eyes turned to the things drawn on the white paper on Zhu Hao's desk.
"Is this what you ordered?"
Sun Jiao was very interested.
"yes."
Zhu Hao nodded heavily.
Sun Jiao asked: "You went to Xishan earlier to do this, right? Where did the money come from? If you don't have tens of thousands of taels of silver to build this thing, can you afford it?"
Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Sun, it's not a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver. If you only need tens of thousands of taels of silver... Look at my house, if you just move some things from the warehouse, you may have tens of thousands of taels...
It’s not a result of corruption or corruption. My family is a businessman and we already have this money.”
Sun Jiao rolled his eyes at Zhu Hao: "I didn't say you were corrupt and perverting the law. Besides, you're not even in the job. Where did you get the chance to pervert the law?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "It's really not true. I want to take advantage of others and bend the law. In a year, I have handled hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of money..."
Sun Jiao felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
He knew that there was a small yamen outside the Ministry of Revenue and the inner government, which was dedicated to raising money for the emperor, so that the little emperor could operate freely without the Ministry of Revenue. Therefore, the emperor had money to purchase some military supplies, and needless to say, this small yamen
, all under Zhu Hao’s control.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, when he saw others doing things behind his back, even though he knew that the money should not be under the control of the Ministry of Revenue, his grandson Jiao was still worried.
"Mr. Sun, you're not here to ask me this, are you? Is there anything else?"
Zhu Hao asked with a smile.
Sun Jiaodao: "Over at Xuanda, I heard that after the new year, the imperial court is already discussing to abolish the positions of commander-in-chief of trilateral military affairs and commander-in-chief of military affairs of Xuanda. Do you know that?"
"Yeah." Zhu Hao nodded.
Yang Tinghe had previously agreed to let Zang Feng go back as the Governor of Xuanda. Wasn't it just to prepare for the removal of the post of Governor of Xuanda later this year?
Strictly speaking, Li Yue, the governor of the Three Borders, cannot be regarded as a disciple of Yang Tinghe. However, after Li Yue took office as the governor of the Three Borders, he mostly appointed Peng Ze's old subordinates.
In the frontier army system, the current two governors were not brought up by Yang Tinghe or Peng Ze, but most of the generals and officials under their command are related to Peng Ze. It is not an exaggeration to say that the northwest is now Peng Ze's territory.
Sun Jiao sighed: "Since you know, you should react appropriately, right? I'm afraid you will cause some earth-shaking things again."
Zhu Hao said: "I don't have any reaction. Just withdraw. Anyway, we will make arrangements again in the future."
"What do you mean?"
Sun Jiao glared at his son-in-law.
It took so much effort to arrange Tang Yin to the position of Governor of Xuanda, but now he is eliminated together with Zang Feng, who has just been reinstated. You actually
Do you think it's okay to be so calm?
So why were you tinkering so hard before?
Zhu Haodao: "The root of the problem in the northwest lies in whether there is war. Mr. Tang's station may seem inconspicuous, but it has caused divisions among the Tatars. Within a year or two, the Tatars will have to consider the consequences of plundering the Ming Dynasty.
..."
"What are the consequences?"
Sun Jiao frowned, "You take yourself too seriously, don't you? Will the Tatars do what you want?"
Zhu Hao shook his head, "It's not whether they are willing to listen to me or act according to my wishes. It's because they themselves didn't understand how they lost the Juyongguan station. They didn't even figure out our access, so they would rashly launch another attack."
A new war? Even if the upper Tatars want to do this, or the big tribes want to do this, are the small tribes below willing to kill people without knowing the true strength of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Well……"
Sun Jiao was speechless.
"Besides, the purpose of the Tatars was not to capture the capital in the first place. They came to plunder goods. Their efforts must be directly proportional to their benefits before they are willing to come. If it is not proportional... they will lose men and horses if they come.
,Why are they doing this kind of loss-making business?”
Zhu Hao has a good analysis.
Sun Jiao really wanted to say, do you think this is business?
Can we still make a loss-making transaction?
But what Zhu Hao said makes sense if you think about it carefully.
Furthermore, Sun Jiao saw that Tang Yin was just a chess piece charging into the battle, and the real planner and schemer was the young son-in-law in front of him. Since Juyongguan achieved a great victory under Zhu Hao's planning, Zhu Hao was the most qualified to say
The person who said this.
"Mr. Tang is in the capital. Due to party strife, he can't take any responsibilities. If there is another war in the northwest, Mr. Tang can take the lead at any time... I guess the Tatars won't be stupid." Zhu Hao said with a smile.
Sun Jiao was a little depressed.
From what I hear, Tang Yin seems to be the military god of the Ming Dynasty. The purpose of staying in the capital is to serve as the door god to prevent the Tatar monsters from invading?
Sun Jiao thought to himself, looking at Tang Yin's appearance, he didn't look like a guy who could hold the line.
"Mr. Sun, let's put it this way, now that Mr. Yang Ge is in power, whoever controls military and political affairs in the northwest will be subject to his restrictions, and the result will be the same. The purpose of making a fuss before was to let Mr. Yang Ge know,
The situation in the northwest cannot be solved without him and Peng Shangshu."
"Now that we have proven our strength to them, it no longer matters who is left as the leader and who is not."
