Tang Yin didn't understand the proceedings of the Great Ceremony at all, and he didn't care from the beginning. He was summoned by Zhang Zuo to the emperor, and he couldn't explain the reason.
"Mr. Tang, didn't Jingdao explain to you in detail how to deal with various situations encountered today?" Zhu Si looked at Tang Yin expectantly.
Tang Yin was dumbfounded by the question.
Could it be that this matter was not discussed by you two young men?
If something goes wrong during the Great Ceremony Debate, aren't you the ones to deal with it? What does this have to do with me?
Zhang Zuodao: "Your Majesty, Mr. Tang has been recuperating recently. Maybe he really doesn't know."
Zhu Si had a look of frustration on his face: "But now, so many people are opposed to me being my father's emperor. No one can stand up and stop them." Tang Yin asked: "Isn't there Huang Xueshi?"
"He? Is that okay?" Zhu Si was not sure.
Until now, Zhu Si didn't know how Huang Zan performed in the debate among the officials.
In Huang Jin's previous report, it seems that the debate on the official side was very mild, and basically no one spoke up, or everyone agreed to support the "successor", and it would depend on who came out to be the clown.
After all, officials generally do not need to take a position in the ceremony in exchange for political resources. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Huang Zan and Zhang Cong. The rest are waiting and watching.
Tang Yin said: "Your Majesty, I believe Jingdao will have arrangements there."
Coming out of the emperor's tent, Tang Yin was a little puzzled.
Behind him, Zhang Zuo followed him out of the camp and caught up with him: "Mr. Tang, do you think Mr. Zhu is sure about this matter? In the past, Mr. Zhu's layouts were very sophisticated. What do you think this time?
·····It seems that Huang Xueshi and Zhang Shidu have to earn their own performance, but if there are only two of them, how can the direction of public opinion shift to our side?"
Tang Yindao: "I don't know much about this, but I think Jingdao is mature and prudent in doing things, so he should have a backup plan." "What backup plan?"
Zhang Zuo asked hurriedly.
Tang Yin shook his head helplessly: "Eunuch Zhang, you don't have to be too anxious. Maybe the grand ceremony does not pay attention to the results, but to have such a form... As the saying goes, each has his own opinion, and no one can convince the other. What's more important
What is interesting is that the debate aroused the attention of the scholars, and there was room for discussion. However, the Ming Dynasty has always advocated filial piety and righteousness first, and public opinion may gradually change... At this time, your Majesty should still be allowed to return the favor earlier.
It’s the palace.”
Zhang Zuo said helplessly: "Now that there is no result in the great ceremony discussion, how can your Majesty be willing to return to the city?"
Tang Yin said: "If you stay here, Your Majesty will not be able to personally participate, and the situation will not change for the time being, which will only increase your worries... Well, I have nothing to say, so let's leave it at that."
Originally, Tang Yin wanted to say a few words for Zhu Hao, but when the words reached his lips, they stopped abruptly.
Zhang Zuo said with a sad face: "Our family also knows that it is not easy to win the support of more people. There are only a few officials in the DPRK who support succession but not heirs. But now that the debate is open, I am afraid that the momentum will be even more unfavorable to Your Majesty. We
All I can do is worry...Oh!"
After bidding farewell to Zhang Zuo, Tang Yin immediately found Jiang Lun.
Jiang Lunzheng was proud that today's viewing ceremony was successfully held. After all, this was the first honorable errand he had done for the imperial court, and he was immersed in the joy after performing a meritorious service.
"Have you seen Jingdao?" Tang Yin asked.
Jiang Lun said: "I didn't see it, but I saw two young masters from the Sun family going to the back tent earlier." "Which two young masters from the Sun family?"
The first thing Tang Yin thought of was Sun Yuan, the Hanlin editor who had been with him for a long time this morning. Could it be that he was talking about the two brothers Sun Yuan and Sun Jing?
Tang Yin was also puzzled in his heart. Sun Yuan had clearly said that the matter of today's ceremony had nothing to do with him, and he had no intention of coming forward.
Jiang Lun said: "It's Sun Ru and Sun Jing. Aren't they both very close to Mr. Zhu Jiaxiao? Oh, by the way, Quan Zi also went with them, and there were also a large group of people, all from the Imperial College.
Supervisor···
···I think they are going to do something..."
Tang Yin was stunned.
Zhu Hao actually mobilized Sun Ru and others at this time? What effect can these few people alone have?
Even if they had served in the Imperial College, they had not made any achievements. Although Sun Jing was Sun Jiao's son, he had no fame after all. What could he do if he was hanging around in the Imperial College?
"Isn't Sun Ru in Yongping Mansion with Fengyuan? When did he return to Beijing? I don't know!" Tang Yin obviously didn't understand what these people were going to do.
Tang Yin said goodbye to Jiang Lun and wanted the people from Jinyiwei to help find Zhu Hao. Now he no longer showed indifference, and his strong curiosity drove him to get some inside information.
Zhu Chen, the commander of the Jinyiwei, is now preparing to hand over the baton, and will then receive the position of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, waiting for his retirement. The person in charge of security matters that day is Luo An, who has a high chance of inheriting the position of commander of the Jinyiwei. Tang Yin did not see him
He only saw Wang Zuo.
Wang Zuo didn't have much interaction with Tang Yin. When he found out that Tang Yin was looking for Zhu Hao, he was shocked and quickly reminded: "Tang Hanlin, if you go to Mr. Zhu now...will you reveal some secrets? Isn't that inappropriate?"
?』
Tang Yin said: "If you have something to do with him, all you need to do is tell me where he is now." "Maybe he's not here... he should be at home, right?"
Wang Zuo obviously didn't know either.
Tang Yin nodded, and he did not embarrass Wang Zuo. Just when he was about to call the master to go back to the city with him to find Zhu Hao, Wang Zuo suddenly reminded him: "Should Tang Hanlin go to the back tent to check the situation at this time? It seemed that way there before.
····It’s getting noisy.”
"What do you mean?" Tang Yin was puzzled.
Wang Zuodao said: "I met Huang Xueshi, Zhang Cong and Zhang Hanlin in my humble post. They went to the back tent with many Hanlins. There seems to be a commotion there, and the quarrel is very fierce. If you go, you may be able to help mediate."
"Xueshi Huang? Shouldn't he...should be meeting with those ministers?" Tang Yin was a little confused again.
Wasn't it agreed today that officials would debate in one tent, while people without meritorious status would debate in another tent?
We had previously heard that Sun Ru and Sun Jing took a group of scholars from the Imperial Academy to the scholar's tent, and now we know that Huang Huang and Zhang Cong also followed them, so this is interesting.
Tang Yin thought to himself, could this boy Zhu Hao want to use Tian Ji's horse racing trick to get Huang Gongxian and Zhang Bing to degrade him? As a Hanlin bachelor and minister, he would put pressure on those scholars?
If that's the case, what's the trick of those scholars who went with Huang Zan and Zhang Cong? "It's a fight! It's a fight!"
Before Tang Yin could figure out the situation, someone came running over, shouting and yelling. When Wang Zuo saw this situation, he hurriedly led the Jin Yiwei people to the tent where the accident happened.
Tang Yin took a look from a distance. There were a lot of people, and it seemed to be quite lively. Some scholars rushed out of the tent, pulling their hair, tearing their clothes, and punching and kicking quite a few. It was just like this group of scholars were fighting.
Clumsy, no matter how you look at it, it looks like novices pecking each other, with no lethality at all.
"Nonsense!" Tang Yin felt frightened for a while.
At this time, Huang Jin rushed over after hearing the news, but saw Tang Yin first, and hurriedly arranged for people from the East Factory to go over to maintain order, while he walked towards Tang Yin, as if he wanted to ensure Tang Yin's personal safety first.
Tang Yin said: "Eunuch Huang, where does this come from?"
Huang Jin smiled bitterly and said: "There was no movement at all during the ceremony in the official tent. I heard something happened here, so I came here to have a look." Tang Yin asked: "There is not a single naysayer over there, right?"
"That's...yes." Huang Jin felt helpless.
At the Great Ceremony Discussion, there were too few people who supported the idea of "succession without heirs." Huang Zan and Zhang Cong were missing from the official side, so there was no disturbance at all. Instead, it was a group of scholars discussing the Great Ceremony. First, the discussion was too intense.
There was an argument over language, and then a fight...
Just as Huang Jin was about to leave and report to the emperor, Tang Yin asked: "Eunuch Huang, are you sure you haven't seen Zhu?"
Hao?"
Huang Jindao: "After the opening ceremony, Mr. Zhu returned to the city. Now he is drinking tea near Deshengmen. He also said that he should not trouble him unless it was absolutely necessary... If you insist on looking for it, our house
I will inform you of his address."
Tang Yin shook his head and smiled bitterly.
I was thinking in my heart, is this kid just watching the fire from the other side and watching the excitement? Needless to say, the fight scene in front of me is also related to Zhu Hao's design! "Tell me where he is!"
Tang Yin said unceremoniously.--
A fight about scholars being martyred for their opinions could no longer attract Tang Yin's attention. He wanted to know what Zhu Hao was thinking.
He hurried into the city and met Zhu Hao who was drinking tea and chatting with Su Xigui at the teahouse near the city gate tower. "I said Mr. Tang would come. Do you think you made me guess?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said to Su Xigui.
Tang Yin said: "Did you plan what happened today? It's unbecoming! Do you know that His Majesty has not returned to the palace yet, so you are trying to make things worse."
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Isn't it bad to make a scene?" "What do you mean?"
Tang Yin sat down and glared at Su Xigui first. Su Xigui hurriedly stood up and saluted, but Tang Yin ignored him. Then Su Xigui sat down again angrily.
"It's like this. There are not many people who support the idea of "succession without heirs". Even if we spent money, mobilized some connections, and even bribed a group of people with the promise of being an official to let them speak for His Majesty, the result was nothing.
Not very good, got very little response.”
Zhu Hao said this with regret in his words, "Since no one supports it, it means that the influence of orthodox civil servants is too great. Why should we start with the main theme of the debate?"
Tang Yin said: "It seems that you planned this debate, right?"
"Haha, planning is planning. I didn't say that I wanted to win the opponent in the debate. Winning with fists and kicks is still a win..." "You...don't you want to win with that group of people?"
Scholars, will you give me some help?"
"It's not important, just start a fight. The topics discussed in the previous ceremony were still too serious and solemn. Everyone is under great pressure. The more serious they are, the more serious they will be if the theory of "succession without heirs" established by His Majesty's decree is passed."
Difficulties and obstacles exist. Only by making this matter less serious or even absurd, and His Majesty coming forward to give the final word, will the supremacy of imperial power be demonstrated and everything will become reasonable and reasonable!"
