After listening to the scene described by Zhu Hao, Tang Yin suddenly fell silent. Even Su Xigui on the side could see that Tang Yin was obviously tempted, because the situation Zhu Hao mentioned was not very attractive to a person who was wallowing in fame and fortune.
Zhu Hao belongs to the category of "prescribing the right medicine to the case".
You, Tang Yin, don't like to be in officialdom, but you always like fame, wealth and status, right? If you were given a position, you wouldn't have to work in the officialdom, and you wouldn't have to mediate with the ministers. You would just be a servant and be an idler like now.
,can you refuse?
"Sir, it is estimated that the court meeting in the palace has come to an end now. Don't blame me for not saying hello to you in advance. In fact, if you are arranged to be a Hanlin bachelor, it may not work out. Even if you do become a scholar, if you are not happy, go back and ask your Majesty to resign.
, Your Majesty will still approve it." Zhu Hao spoke to Tang Yin as a superior. If someone else had said this to Tang Yin, Tang Yin would have to leave in a hurry. Don't I, a great talent in poetry and painting, have no face? But
According to Zhu Hao, Tang Yin has long been used to it. It seems that the relationship between the master and the disciple has always been a pattern of making jokes and eliminating each other. Anyway, Zhu Hao has seen even more embarrassing things. He is not pursuing fame and fortune sincerely, but that is not the case.
Isn't that too much?
Tang Yin sighed: "Jingdao, no wonder you can even convince Yang Yongxiu. It seems that you know more about this officialdom matter than anyone else... Sigh!"
This is tantamount to Tang Yin admitting that he has indeed been seen through by Zhu Hao.
A Hanlin bachelor's degree who did not need to work was an almost irresistible temptation for him.
Zhu Hao sighed: "Sir, don't have too much hope. Just like Huang Xueshi is currently in the palace trying to join the cabinet, the pressure exerted by civil servants on His Majesty is too great. This is a game between the monarch and his ministers, and an exchange of interests."
, Your Majesty, if you gain something today, you will definitely lose something!"
This day's court meeting ended in a stalemate between the monarch and his ministers.
As Zhu Hao judged, both parties have gained and each has lost. On the emperor's side, the issue of the ceremony has not been finally confirmed. Even Zhu Si himself knew that no results could be achieved by discussing with the ministers.
The only way to successfully pass is to declare unilaterally, and now Jiang Mian has not yet taken office, and the main power of the civil servants has not suffered heavy losses. Therefore, this time it seems that they are fighting for the great ceremony, but the real purpose is to fight against the civil servant faction.
Big purge.
On the one hand, the emperor maintained that he was determined to win the great ceremony, but on the other hand, he backed down at the critical moment and asked the court to be replaced by more "own people". On the civil servants' side, Mao Ji became an official, but in the end they had to agree to let Huang
Zan entered the cabinet. Huang Zan was granted the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs as a bachelor of Dongge University, and became the fourth cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty. After entering the cabinet, he was mainly responsible for the docking between the cabinet, the Ministry of Household Affairs, Jingcang and other matters, and was also mainly responsible for drafting votes.
Focus on formulating household department countermeasures.
Another change was that Tang Yin was promoted from a little-known Hanlin reviewer to a Hanlin bachelor.
This matter seems very evil. Tang Yin's promotion was unprecedentedly huge, making a huge difference. However, the resistance encountered in this matter was much less than that of Huang Zan's entry into the cabinet.
Perhaps even Zhu Si himself had not thought of this.
Although Tang Yin was only a reviewer of the Imperial Academy, he had previously served as the governor of Xuan Da and the military affairs of the three inner gates, and almost became the Minister of the Sixth Ministry. In addition, Tang Yin was a teacher in Prince Xing's Mansion.
Shi Zhang Jingming and Yuan Zonggao passed away one after another, and Tang Yin became the benchmark figure in the Xing Palace in the court.
Also because Tang Yin has an easy-going personality...
This has been proven over time. The civil servant group found that it was much easier to control Tang Yin than to control Huang Zan, Zhang Bangqi, Zhang Cong and others. Let Tang Yin be the Hanlin bachelor responsible for discussing etiquette, it was just like no one else.
Many people even readily accepted Tang Yin's ascension to the throne.
It's equivalent to saying...
Tang Yin was not pushed to the top, but was "praised" by everyone.
The news reached the theater.
Su Xigui was so excited that he almost knelt down on the spot.
Huang Zan had been planning for so long and finally got his wish and entered the cabinet. Su Xigui, as a political broker, completed a "miracle" behind the scenes, pushing Huang Zan to the highest position a civil servant could obtain. Su Xigui could not only get the feedback brought by Huang Zan,
And he "retired intact" as he wished. From now on, he no longer had to worry about how to help Huang Zan, and could concentrate on serving under Zhu Hao.
What also made Su Xigui excited was that this incident was completely planned by Zhu Hao, and even Zhu Hao's promise to make Tang Yin a Hanlin bachelor was fulfilled as scheduled.
Su Xigui basically said that he witnessed this incident with the most powerful person in the court second only to the emperor.
Thinking that in the future I would be able to curry favor with a tree with deeper roots and luxuriant leaves than Huang Zan, I felt even more excited.
"Mr. Tang, what do you say? Accept or reject?" Zhu Hao ignored Su Xigui, who was beside himself with excitement, and asked Tang Yin with a smile.
Tang Yin looked embarrassed.
I am very happy to say that I am very happy. When I came to attend the appointment, I was just a Hanlin reviewer with no real power at all. Now I am a Hanlin bachelor?
There are two extreme differences between the upper and lower levels of the Hanlin Academy. "How did you let His Majesty convince the ministers of the DPRK?" Tang Yin asked back. Zhu Hao shrugged and said he had no comment.
Only then did Su Xigui think of currying favor with Tang Yin, because he discovered that even if Huang Zan joined the cabinet as he wished, he would have to retire in about half a year, and the longest it might not be more than a year, because Huang Zan, a cabinet minister, was just
This is a transition, and Tang Yin is the "new rich". If Tang Yin is allowed to join the cabinet, why not work for three to five or seven years?
"Tang Hanlin...ah, no, I should call you Scholar Tang. I'm here to greet you. Congratulations." Su Xigui has a beautiful smile, but is as unpopular as a dog-tailed flower.
Zhu Hao said: "Sir, you have become a Hanlin bachelor. Today and tomorrow, you should go to the Hanlin Academy to handle the handover matters."
Tang Yin asked nervously: "Are you sure that from now on I won't have to go to the Hanlin Academy to deal with affairs every day, and I will still be as carefree as I am today, right?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Look at what you're asking... Let's put it this way, even if you want to go every day, the people in the Hanlin Academy will not welcome you. Even if you don't show up in front of them for a year, they will not blame you for being neglectful."
In government affairs, I will happily feel that you have maintained the integrity of the Ming Dynasty and are a rare good official. I wonder if you believe it or not?"
"this……"
When Tang Yin heard this, he felt a little discouraged. How could he have such no sense of presence in the court? But just think about it.
The emperor's increase in the position of a Hanlin scholar was met with much criticism from the court. As an orthodox civil servant, Huang Zan was looked down upon every day when he went to the Hanlin Academy.
Now that it was Tang Yin who was doing this thankless job, others would naturally hope that he would not contribute... This would have reduced the impact of the emperor's appointment of a Hanlin bachelor to the lowest point.
"Let's go tomorrow, I'll go back home first." Tang Yinyi Xingshan.
Now that his appointment as a Hanlin scholar has been confirmed, he has to return home and wait for the edict and official ultimatum to be delivered.
Zhu Hao said, "Sir, you can't leave yet. I'm going to meet someone with you later."
This time even Su Xigui became interested and looked at Zhu Hao curiously with Tang Yin, wanting to know who it was.
Zhu Hao didn't hide anything: "It should be Zhang Hanlin." "You mean...Zhang Bingyong?" Tang Yin's thinking suddenly became clear and vivid.
Zhu Hao had previously said that if it weren't for him, Tang Yin, then the most popular candidate to become a Hanlin scholar would be Zhang Cong. However, Zhang Cong was so busy with the ceremony that he even did not hesitate to offend the civil servants of the court, including local and northern and southern capitals.
Running around and contacting so many people is just for the sake of becoming famous one day.
But now that the Great Ceremony Conference has initially yielded results, and the emperor's purge of the court has begun to take shape, the vacant post of Bachelor of Ceremony Hanlin has still not fallen to him. How can he feel balanced?
The problem is whether Tang Bao, a Sanren who always tries to get away from things, or Ji Houzhou, a Sanren who always tries to get away from things, steals the fruits of victory.
From Zhang Cong's perspective, apart from being a close confidant of the emperor, what other abilities does Tang Yin have?
What contribution have you made to the Great Ceremony? Every time I see you, you look like you are dying, and now you jump out again when it comes to grabbing the results?
Tang Yin thought for a while and wondered why: "I still don't see him, just because I'm afraid of him... Oh!"
Zhu Haodao: "If you hadn't seen him, his prejudice against you would have been even deeper. You know, we still need his help in the ceremony, otherwise I expect you, sir, to go out among the people and communicate with the scholars."
, contact the ministers inside and outside the court to support the matter of discussing etiquette?"
Su Xigui, who was next to him, asked tentatively: "This Zhang Hanlin is now a member of the Imperial Academy, and he has only been in the imperial court for a few years? Are you still not satisfied with this?"
Perhaps in Su Xigui's view, in just a few years after Zhang Cong entered the court, he became one of the core forces around the new emperor and obtained a position that others only dreamed of but could not obtain. How could he still be so unpopular?
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Dongzhu Su, it's time for you to go and congratulate Academician Huang. Why don't you leave first and I'll talk to Mr. Tang again?"
"Okay, okay." Su Xigui was very sensible.
Seeing Zhu Hao's influence, he felt that today's wait was worth it. How could he not bother him now?
"Then let's talk later," Zhu Hao said. "Okay."
After Su Xigui bowed respectfully, he said goodbye to Tang Yin before leaving the theater.
In the private room of the theater, only Zhu Hao and Tang Yin were left. At this time, the smile on Zhu Hao's face had faded.
"Mr. Tang, let me be clear. I am using you to suppress Zhang Bingyong and make him angry and jealous of me from the bottom of his heart."
Zhu Hao speaks out.
Tang Yin asked in surprise: "What? Are you jealous of him?" Zhu Hao shook his head: "Not only am I not jealous, on the contrary, I will secretly promote and cultivate him in the future, making him a viable force in the court that can compete with me... Once
If he hates me, he will try every means to alienate the relationship between me and Zhu Si."
Tang Yin sighed: "Why are you doing this?"
Zhu Haodao: "Sir, didn't you say that before? When I am in the court, if I am really alone and covering the sky with one hand, I will not be far away from the rebellious officials and traitors.
...If I don’t cultivate a rival for myself, how can I make His Majesty feel at ease with me?”
