Liu Chun originally just asked Sun Jiao about his close friend's career prospects, but he discovered a big secret, which was quite a shock to him.
I thought I was helping Zhu Hao, but who would have thought that it was Zhu Hao who secretly helped me get to the top? If Old Man Sun hadn't said it with certainty, who would have believed it?
Sell Zhu Hao? Sell Zhu Hao so that people will know that Liu Chun relied on Zhu Hao to rise to power? Do you still want this old face? Besides, what can you get by selling Zhu Hao?
Because of this incident, Liu Chun was depressed and in a trance when he went to court the next day.
Back at Wenyuan Pavilion, when Yang Tinghe organized a cabinet meeting, Liu Chun was not interested in listening. Until the end of the meeting, Yang Tinghe left him alone.
"Renzhong, I see that you are absent-minded today, but something is bothering you?" How could Yang Tinghe, such a talented person, not see Liu Chun's abnormality?
If it were anyone else, Yang Tinghe would be too lazy to take care of it, but now it is Liu Chun who is in trouble. Yang Tinghe really wants him to withdraw from the court with him, so he should pay more attention to his psychological activities and show some care and concern.
Love and care.
Liu Chundao: "I...it's okay, but I've been ill for the past two days and haven't had a good rest."
"oh."
Yang Tinghe didn't believe this kind of rhetoric.
I can still tell that you have something wrong with your body or mind. Originally, when you said you were troubled by some family troubles, I wouldn’t ask too much about it. But now you insist on saying that you are sick, which only deepens my worries.
Suspect.
…
…
At noon, Liu Chun took advantage of his break and ran to the Hanlin Academy to find Zhu Hao.
For Liu Chun, the Hanlin Academy was so familiar. He had worked hard for most of his life, and coming here was like returning to his own home.
He told the person who received him at the Hanlin Academy that he was looking for Zhu Hao, but was told that Zhu Hao had followed Ye Guizhang to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Liu Chun wanted to wait, but suddenly thought that Zhu Hao might not be working at the Hanlin Academy anymore, so waiting here would be in vain.
I had no choice but to ask an acquaintance to pass the message, so I found Xu Jie, who had come to handle the handover and transfer procedures to the household department, and asked Xu Jie to send a message to Zhu Hao, saying that I would invite him to visit him.
Xu Jie was a little confused.
This time when I returned to the Hanlin Academy, I faced the strange looks of so many people and felt that my career was bleak, but I was found by a cabinet minister. He didn't greet me with greetings, but just asked me to send a message to Zhu Hao?
Excuse me, am I familiar with Zhu Hao?
It wasn't until evening that Liu Chun saw Zhu Hao who came to visit his house.
Liu Chun greeted Zhu Hao into his house. He did not go to a relatively private place like the study, but just brought Zhu Hao to the main hall, as if to show how upright he saw Zhu Hao.
But in fact, this is his home, and he doesn't need to worry too much about it.
"... Jingdao, you have to go to the Ministry of Personnel to perform your duties. I have heard about this. If you start as the head of the Ministry of Personnel, I will definitely help you fight for it. But if you are a member of the Ministry of Personnel, this job is also suitable for you.
"
There was something hidden in Liu Chun's words, a coy look, like a big girl.
It should be said that she is an old girl.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Actually, I have been fighting with the imperial court to be decentralized. I used to be the prefect of Yongping Prefecture, but I failed to benefit one party and caused a lot of trouble. It's a pity. I will have to wait for an opportunity to go to the local area for experience in the future.
.”
Liu Chun was startled and asked: "Where do you want to go?"
This question seemed simple, but it showed the surprise in his heart, which should be inconsistent with some of his cognitions. From Liu Chun's simple reaction, Zhu Hao's wisdom naturally understood why Liu Chun was so coy. He knew his feelings.
What.
Zhu Haodao: "Did Mr. Sun tell you something? Mr. Sun always said that he thinks about the students and allows them to practice more. The students don't know which place is the place they want to practice."
Liu Chun didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, he regretted bringing Zhu Hao to the main hall. If the two of them were in the study at this moment, wouldn't they be able to speak without any scruples after closing the door?
"and you……"
Liu Chundao said, "Are you doing something for His Majesty?"
Zhu Hao said: "Everyone is serving your Majesty."
Very official answer.
Liu Chun was about to ask Zhu Hao to give more details, but he heard Zhu Hao add: "Since Prince Xing's Mansion, Your Majesty and I have become closer. Your Majesty will send students to do something if he has something to do."
Liu Chun was relieved and nodded with a smile: "Then you and His Majesty are quite destined. We have known each other since we were young. It seems to be your fate. How did you enter Prince Xing's palace?"
He actually inquired about Zhu Hao's past like this.
Zhu Hao was very depressed. Are you going to do a home visit?
Zhu Hao roughly said that his family allowed him to study in the palace, and then asked: "Mr. Liu Ge, why are you looking for a student?"
Liu Chun originally wanted to find out more about the inside story, but when he suddenly heard Zhu Hao ask this question, he was a little confused. Apparently Zhu Hao's words confirmed some of what Sun Jiao said. Even if he didn't mention helping him to become a cabinet minister, Liu Chun was also aware of it at this moment.
Self-doubt, the person's mental state seems very abnormal.
What is the purpose of coming to Zhu Hao?
Of course, I want to ask whether, as Sun Jiao said, Zhu Hao has been secretly working for the emperor, and may even be the top aide around the emperor today?
Or whether his joining the cabinet has something to do with Zhu Hao...
But there are some words that are difficult to ask.
Liu Chuntao: "Oh, by the way, I have a grandson who recently arrived in the capital. He has been saying that he would introduce you to meet him, and I just want to introduce him to you today."
Just like Sun Jiao introduced his descendants to Zhu Hao, since Liu Chun now values Zhu Hao, he will also want to introduce his family to Zhu Hao. In the past, Liu Chun would have considered this a "gift" to Zhu Hao.
My grandson has a different background.
But now he no longer has this idea, and he has the intention to lift his grandson up.
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Liu Ge is talking about Zong's brother, right? We've already met him."
Liu Chun was stunned again and asked, "Have you met Zongzhi?"
The Zongzhi mentioned is Liu Qizong, Liu Chun’s grandson.
Zhu Hao said: "I went out with Shao'e the day before yesterday, and I met him, but we didn't exchange a few words with him, but we made an appointment to study together later."
Zhu Hao was talking about meeting Liu Qizong when he and Ye Guizhang went out.
Liu Chun's ancestral home is Huguang, but he has lived in Chongqing Prefecture, Sichuan since he was a child. Among Sichuan officials in Beijing, most of them have friends with each other because of Yang Tinghe. Although Liu Qizong is not a formal official, he has a grandfather who is a cabinet minister.
After arriving in the capital, he met Ye Guizhang and other Sichuan scholars.
"That's fine, that's fine."
Liu Chun originally used his grandson as a cover, but after hearing what Zhu Hao said, he dealt with it casually.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Should we go see Zongzhi now, or should we say...
"Uh... let's go back."
Liu Chun didn't think it would be a good thing for Liu Qizong and Zhu Hao to get to know each other.
Since it was Zhu Hao who helped him rise to power, will he get closer to Zhu Hao in the future? Then who will I be, Liu? Where can I put this old face of mine?
Zhu Hao said: "Then if there is nothing else, can the student... say goodbye?"
"Wait a minute."
Liu Chun finally regained his composure and asked seriously, "You are from a family of Jin Yiwei soldiers. Didn't you say that your family members are all in Nanjing now?"
Zhu Haodao: "My grandfather, grandmother and uncle are in Nanjing, but my mother and sister are in the capital.
Liu Chun asked: "Why haven't you thought about moving all the clan members to the capital?"
This question is very special and the angle is even more tricky.
You are probably saying, I know you are close to the emperor. The emperor relies on you for many things. If you can talk to the emperor, then your family should be someone the emperor thinks can help. Why do they stay in Nanjing?
Not in Beijing?
This is especially unreasonable since your uncle once served in the Jinyi Guards in Beijing and was later transferred to Nanjing.
Zhu Hao understood what Liu Chun meant.
The words of the old politician may seem confusing, but they actually contain profound meanings.
Liu Chun also told him in disguise, I know about you, and I am also curious about your relationship with the Zhu family of Jinyiwei, because
Everyone thinks that there should be some rift between your Zhu family and Prince Xing’s palace. Why does a freak like you appear?
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "The student lost his father when he was young, and he was dependent on his mother, aunt and sister. Later, his grandfather fell from a horse and was recovering from his injuries. The student didn't even have the chance to study. He could only follow the family's arrangements and sneak into Prince Xing's mansion to study, and by the way... do some
It’s not something you want to do.”
"Um."
Liu Chun nodded knowingly.
Zhu Haodao: "Later, there was a fire in Prince Xing's palace. The students rescued the prince's son from the fire. And because of the plague, they took Mr. Tang to the prince's palace to diagnose the illness..."
"etc!"
Liu Chun was shocked and said, "You mean, you are kind to His Majesty?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "I don't dare to boast about my kindness. The king's palace was built by Emperor Xian, so that the students had books to read and a place to live. They also helped dispel my grandmother's idea of letting me go back to practice martial arts several times. The students have always tried their best to help me."
To contribute to the prosperity of the palace, Mr. Tang was brought to Anlu Prefecture by a student from Nanchang to teach in the palace."
Liu Chun smiled bitterly and said, "It's no wonder that you were able to worship Tang Bohu as your teacher and yet be used by the Yang family. Perhaps everyone thought that you should join the family and be rejected by the people of Prince Xing's palace."
When it comes to this point, it is almost clear.
Liu Chun understood this and felt that Zhu Hao was being honest with him, so he didn't want to continue asking. He kept asking about Zhu Hao's help in joining the cabinet. Do you still want the old face?
Some words can only be spoken in moderation.
Liu Chun said with a smile: "From now on, if you have anything to do, just come to my house and see me. I will be waiting for you at any time."
Zhu Hao stood up and held up his hands: "Students don't dare."
He helped me but didn't acknowledge it. He was always so polite and treated him like a teacher. He even became his savior.
Before, Liu Chun was a little uneasy with his old face, but now he suddenly felt that Zhu Hao was still the same as before, looking so smart and smart, and he couldn't help but want to get close to Zhu Hao.
"By the way, Jingdao, in addition to the sect, I also have a granddaughter who is also in the capital. She is the best in poetry and articles. I heard that you wrote the song "Linjiang Immortal", and I also know that I know you and asked to meet you.
Here." Liu Chun suddenly said.
Zhu Hao was suddenly speechless.
What's going on?
Don’t you also want to introduce me to a girlfriend?
