Chapter 951 Going to the Imperial Academy with a companion
When the news from the palace came out, everyone in the Hanlin Academy who was waiting for the news was filled with indignation, but also felt a little relieved.
He was filled with righteous indignation, but Wang Jun insisted on the Great Rites Conference and was dismissed from the post of Minister of Rites. He was relieved because, except for Wang Jun and Sun Jiao, there were no major changes in the court structure, even for the seats of the Rites Sect.
Shu is about to take over as the Minister of Rites, but since he is in Nanjing, it is estimated that it will take some time to come to the capital, so there is still room for maneuver in this matter.
"Everyone, if that's the case, you should go back first." Yang Shen gave up first.
This was also the situation that surprised everyone present the most. Others originally thought that Yang Shen should be the most excited one, so they might immediately organize people to come up and argue with each other.
But unexpectedly, Yang Shen seemed very peaceful, as if this matter was in his interest.
But in the end nothing major happened, and the result was still within control. The Hanlin officials left the gathering place while discussing.
In the end, only Yu Chengxun stayed with Yang Shen.
Yu Chengxun expressed emotion: "Unexpectedly, I picked it up again and put it down gently. It seems that the controversy over the ceremony will continue."
Yang Shen didn't say anything.
Yu Chengxun's words were clearly testing Yang Shen. Seeing that Yang Shen didn't seem to understand, he asked directly: "Yong Xiu, what should we do?"
Yang Shen said: "Isn't it good now?"
Yu Chengxun smiled bitterly and said: "But the wish of all the scholars is not to let a foreign minister serve as the Minister of Rites. How many people in the court objected to your Majesty's discussion of rites half a year ago? But now His Majesty is achieving his goal step by step, and it is not yet
Is it worth being vigilant about?"
Yang Shen looked indifferent: "So what? Are you and I qualified to change anything now?"
"Alas!" Yu Chengxun sighed again.
Being in the Hanlin Academy, I feel that I have surpassed the average scholar, but in fact, I don’t have a high say in the speech. So what if I am a bachelor of Shoufu University? Does the emperor care about Jiang Mian’s opinions on the ceremony? Yang Shen said: "Let’s go back later.
See you and respect me."
Yu Chengxun was very curious and asked: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to keep a distance from Jingdao? Why...why do you always go to him recently?"
Yang Shen is actually a bit hard to explain. Before he became a lecturer, he had classified Zhu Hao as a hostile force. But now the situation is different. Zhu Hao has become the person who knows the inside story of his promotion. In terms of close relationship, he has a better relationship than him.
Yu Chengxun may both be loyal. Although there is an element of mutual use, it is really difficult to let go.
Yang Shen pretended to sigh: "Sun Butang's appointment is a balancing act made by His Majesty for the court. Jingdao suddenly lost a big supporter, and the situation in the court will be more difficult in the future. In many things in the past, he has been with
We will advance and retreat together, and we should not give up on him at this time."
Yu Chengxun said: "It's rare that you still think about him. I hope I will accept your affection."
Yang Shen was originally going to take Yu Chengxun to meet Zhu Hao, but Yu Chengxun excused himself and left beforehand, so Yang Shen went alone to find Zhu Hao who was checking the accounts of his hotpot restaurant.
"It's not yet noon, and it's still quite deserted here. It's not easy to run a small business... Brother Xiu, do you have a problem with me?" Zhu Hao looked indifferent, as if running a business was more important than being an official.
Yang Shen said, "It's time for you to go back to the Hanlin Academy." Zhu Hao smiled and asked, "Why?"
Yang Shen said coldly: "Sun Butang has retired. From now on, you will have no backing in the court. Don't always think about taking a job elsewhere. It is better to make some achievements in the Hanlin Academy with peace of mind... With your attainments, you can't
In a few years you should be able to be promoted to the Imperial College. Others will not pave the way for you in the future, but I can give you my full support."
Although Zhu Hao felt that Yang Shen was talking nonsense again and using his habitual empty promises to force others to work for him, Zhu Hao was still quite moved for some reason.
The fact that Yang Shen can say these emotional words proves that he is not a real white-eyed wolf.
"No need."
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Sun Butang found me and said that he had consulted with the officials and wanted to help me consolidate the vacancies in the southern provinces. He is expected to leave after the year, but I didn't expect him to leave so soon... Worldly affairs
It’s impermanent.”
"You still want to leave?" Yang Shen frowned.
Zhu Hao pointed to the teapot presented by the waiter in front of him, and Yang Shen shook his head.
Expressing that he was not thirsty, Zhu Hao said, "Isn't it good that I'm leaving? I won't be worried, and Brother Yongxiu will save you a little less worry."
Yang Shen frowned: "Do you think I'm afraid that you will tell something? Now that I have done it, I will not regret it. His Majesty's insistence on the ceremony was something that even my father did not expect at the beginning, otherwise he would not have been chosen to inherit the throne.
.But perhaps as my father said, the Holy One is consolidating the foundation of his rule in this way. After expelling the old ministers in the court, he can achieve complete control of the court...Now His Majesty's goal is being achieved step by step."
"Yeah." Zhu Hao nodded.
Others could not see Zhu Si's motive for insisting on the great ceremony. Yang Tinghe was so shrewd that he recognized the emperor's true purpose at a glance, took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, and completely consolidated the throne.
Yang Shen said: "Jingdao, my original plan was that you would stay in the Hanlin Academy in the future, and I would take care of each other. I would protect you from some disasters, and you would do things for me. Now it seems that you are determined to leave the capital?"
「
Zhu Hao smiled: "Mr. Sun said this, I don't know what the outcome will be...the tea will get cold when people leave. Let's see what arrangements were made by the Ministry of Personnel a year ago."
Yang Shen nodded: "If you have already decided, then I will not come forward to stop you, but I hope you will consider it more and stay in the capital. Although you may not be respected by others, at least you can make great achievements in the Hanlin Academy."
Develop your ambitions? See what you say...
Zhu Hao really wanted to say that you, Yang Shen, are very good at painting cakes. If I didn't know who you were, I might have been frightened by your silly words.
I helped you get your official position. Do you really think you are capable? When you become a bachelor's lecturer, do you think you can pave the way for others' futures?
"Okay, I will authenticate and consider it." Zhu Hao nodded.
When Zhu Hao saw Tang Yin again, Tang Yin's face was red. It was probably because the newlyweds Yan'er and his wife were in harmony. The cough they had previously had disappeared. After meeting, he dragged Zhu Hao to his study to watch him paint.
Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Tang, are you playing with me?"
"Playing with you? Jingdao, please don't be so sharp with your words. Scholars should be polite when talking... What do you have for fun?"
Tang Yin had a straight face and spoke to Zhu Hao like a gentleman. Zhu Hao frowned: "You know I came to see you for something." Tang Yin curled his lips: "Not only do I know that you came to visit for something, I also know that you are very evil-minded.
I've heard about what happened in the court, Xi Shu is the Minister of Rites, I hope you can figure it out."
Zhu Hao frowned: "Do you think I decided on the candidate for Minister of Rites?"
"If not you, who else?"
Tang Yin knew this apprentice very well, "Sometimes I feel that this Ming really doesn't know who is in charge. If you do things so radically, it's easy to get yourself into trouble...
"Well, I've said this too much. Are your ears getting calluses? Come with me and see how my landscape paintings are. Recently, there have been quite a few people in the capital asking for my paintings."
As expected, Tang Yin still forced Zhu Hao to watch him paint. The more Zhu Hao looked at the painting on the table, the more awkward he felt. From his point of view, this painting was a bit... unworthy of elegance.
Tang Yin actually started to include ladies in his landscape paintings. If you draw pictures of ladies, just ladies. Why do you use so many landscapes as backgrounds?
"Sir, I don't think this is a new style of yours. When people come to you for painting, it's not because your painting skills have improved, but because... alas! How should I put it?" Zhu Hao sighed with emotion.
Tang Yin was not happy when he heard this. He glared at Zhu Hao and said, "You mean, they value my status in the court and that's why they came to me for paintings?"
Zhu Hao shrugged and did not answer. Tang Yin suddenly felt a little discouraged.
"Sir, I haven't been to the Hanlin Academy recently, and you are no different. It seems that both our teachers and students are from the Hanlin Academy now, right? I came to discuss with you. Do you think we can go to the Hanlin Academy when?
Companion, do you think it would be good for you to chat in the Hanlin Academy from now on?"
Zhu Hao revealed the true purpose of his visit.
I'm not here to discuss court affairs with Tang Yin. Tang Yin himself doesn't like to talk about that, and his abilities are not good either. It would be better to discuss it with Tang Yin than with Lou Suzhen.
But the problem is, no matter how high Lou Suzhen’s political sense is,
Tang Yin was not allowed to show up in court. Tang Yin was different. Even if Tang Yin continued to fool around, he was still the emperor's husband. With his identity there, even if Tang Yin was appointed as a Hanlin scholar, others would only criticize him a few times at most, and he would still have to accept it in the end.
This is the "shining point" of Tang Yin.
In other words, this is the road to success that Zhu Hao escorted and carefully paved for him.
After so many years of hard work, if Tang Yin has no brilliance at all, then Zhu Haobai needs to train him a lot.
"well!"
Tang Yin sighed quietly. He originally wanted to pick up a pen, but after hearing these words, he lost the motivation. He sat there and said annoyed, "Do you have to do this for me?"
Zhu Hao said: "I think your husband has done a good job helping to review memorials before, so why give up so easily?"
Tang Yin shook his head: "It's because I've done it that I realized it's not as good as I thought... You know I've never been interested in fame and fortune, and the life I have now is already very good."
Zhu Hao asked: "So you want to have a son at home with peace of mind?"
Tang Yin had trouble breathing and suddenly started coughing.
Then he glared at Zhu Hao and said, "Boy, do you care about anything else?"
As he was talking, footsteps could be heard outside, and a gentle voice sounded: "Is the master in there?" He said that Cao Cao had arrived.
Zhu Hao had never seen what his wife looked like, but Tang Yinze jumped up from his chair with a nervous look on his face, walked a few steps toward the door, and said loudly: "I'm meeting guests inside, don't come in, go back to the inner courtyard.
「
"yes."
The young lady outside responded and left with the tea. This scene made Zhu Hao's eyes widen and he looked confused.
I noticed Tang Yin was a little nervous before, why was it stronger this time?
"Sir, what are you doing? I'll pay my respects to the master's wife. It should be okay, right?" Zhu Hao asked.
"never mind!"
Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "She is not your wife, and I am not your husband. Don't keep getting too close... You mentioned going to the Hanlin Academy. I can consider it. If you don't have any other questions, please come back."
"You kid, don't always think about hanging around outside and asking me to be an official. Why don't you settle down and be an official first? I'll give you a notice in advance next time. It's really... ugh!"
