"If you can't drink, just drink less. You haven't successfully passed your fate yet, so you don't care about yourself?"
Tang Yin was carried home and didn't even remember how he came back. When he woke up, what he saw was not his little wife, but Zhu Hao.
Tang Yin had tidied up his clothes at this time, sat on the side of the couch, looked at Zhu Hao, and asked with some embarrassment: "Don't you blame me for revealing your situation to Mr. Liu Ge? Speaking of which, I don't even remember how many times I told him about his wine.
...Hmm...there is definitely something wrong..."
Zhu Haodao: "If Liu Gelao wanted to reveal my identity, he wouldn't wait until today. Maybe he just wants to know what role I play around His Majesty."
As he was talking, Tang Yin's little wife walked in carrying a basin. When Tang Yin saw it, his eyes flashed with horror. He turned around and wanted to drive Zhu Hao out, but he thought that this kid had been here for a long time.
It is estimated that the person has been seen a long time ago, so he can no longer hide it, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"Master Wife, let me help you."
Zhu Hao didn't notice anything, he went up to take the basin, turned around and put it on the basin shelf in the corner of the room.
Mrs. Tang gave a slight salute to Zhu Hao, turned around and left with a peach blossom face. After the people left, the door was closed from the outside, Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, this mistress is nice. It seems that she is very suitable for you, and she will take good care of you."
Very thoughtful.」
Tang Yin almost blurted out: "Don't make up your mind wrongly." Zhu Haoxin said, I knew you had something to hide and I didn't tell you. "Sir, as your disciple, what idea can I make about this kind of thing? I thought you didn't want to do it before.
Normally, is there any misunderstanding between the two of us? You and I are both teachers and students, as well as friends. Is there anything we can’t say directly? "
Zhu Hao was speechless for a while.
You, Tang Yin, have been wary of me since you got married. What are you worried about?
Tang Yin stood up, walked to the basin stand, pulled off the towel, put it in the basin and rubbed it, wrung it out and spread it out, washed his face seriously, washed the towel, wrung it out again and hung it on the rope, and then said:
"Since you have asked, let me make it clear that Concubine Ning once said that she would rather stay by your side for the rest of her life than stay with me forever..."
oh.
Zhu Hao now understood.
Tang Yin regarded his disciple as a "love rival". Zhu Hao felt that he was wronged.
Lou Suzhen did behave like a confidant big sister in front of him, but Zhu Hao could also detect that Lou Suzhen just did not want to talk about marriage because she had experienced a big change, and the so-called following him was just because she wanted to
In this way, she expressed her love for work and life, but was misunderstood by Tang Yin. Lou Suzhen planned to serve him for the rest of her life to repay her life-saving grace.
Zhu Haodao: "Sir, are you wrong? You know Concubine Ning's past better than I do. Do you think she is the kind of person who sticks to vulgar etiquette? She would rather have a close relationship with you than have sex with you.
As a couple in this world, this does not mean that she does not appreciate you, but that she respects you, and it is also a kind of self-love. How come you are here, as if... you are so dirty?" "You..."
"What do we have? Sir, you don't think anything happened between me and Concubine Ning, do you? Please, Concubine Ning and you and I are both friends. Don't have to evolve the pure friendship between friends to the realm of common people, okay?"
Zhu Hao in turn taught Tang Yin a lesson.
Tang Yin angrily returned to the couch and sat down, sulking with a sullen face. Zhu Hao finally understood now that Tang Yin felt that he had robbed a very important woman in his life, and was afraid that he would rob another one... What a shame for Tang Yin.
confidence?
You, a little old man who is universally recognized as a master of both poetry and painting, can think so hard about men and women? Zhu Hao really wants to say, Tang Bohu, you are so disappointing!
"Sir, the weather has been getting colder recently. It's almost the end of the year, and the DPRK and China should be quiet for a while. Next, I plan to go to Xishan to stay for a few months, and come back before the end of the year. I've made a special trip to say goodbye to you.
.”
Zhu Hao said the purpose of his visit today. "Ah!?"
Tang Yin was a little surprised and asked: "You are going to Xishan? Aren't you afraid of something happening to the capital?"
"Nothing serious will happen."
Zhu Hao said, "If something happens, someone will come to Xishan to notify me. If you encounter problems here, just tell the envoy of Luo Town and he will send someone to inform me. The new Jin will be appointed before the end of the year.
The Yiwei Commander's Meeting has been decided, and it seems that it happened between Luo An and Wang Zuo. I don't know anything else, so I can't tell you."
"Yeah." Tang Yin nodded.
Knowing that Zhu Hao was going to Xishan, he relaxed. Because he used to do these tasks, and now Zhu Hao is going in person, so he can be a nominal Hanlin bachelor in the capital and continue to enjoy this kind of recognition by everyone.
The glory of the stars and the moon.
"By the way, sir, you have to quickly try to attract the people recommended by Zhang Bingyong to your side. Regardless of success or failure, just make Zhang Bingyong feel that you are willing to compete with him..."
Zhu Hao reminded again.
Tang Yin frowned: "How come I am responsible for everything?" Zhu Hao said: "You are the last face of the old staff of Prince Xing's Mansion in the court. If you don't come forward, who will come forward? Do you want me to come forward? Let's go!"
Tang Yin was about to ask in detail how to win over her, but he saw Zhu Hao leaving his bedroom without looking back and walking to the yard. He unexpectedly met his little wife in the middle of the yard and said hello before leaving.
"This kid..." Tang Yin felt even more unhappy.
Zhu Hao went to Xishan.
The departure was sudden. Tang Yin also learned from Luo An that Zhu Hao left the capital that day and night. Although it was not far to Xishan, the distance of fifty miles used to take half a day, but now it takes less than an hour by train.
After Zhu Hao left, Zhang Cong visited Tang Mansion, which surprised Tang Yin.
After thinking about it, he met this guy who was supported by Zhu Hao as his opponent in his study room.
"Sister Tang, you are so polite here." Zhang Cong was very respectful to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin nodded with a smile, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Bing Yong comes here once in a while to sit down and talk."
Zhang Cong sat upright as instructed, and then said: "I heard that Mr. Zhu has left the capital? I don't know where he went?"
Tang Yin was startled.
Zhang Cong knew about Zhu Hao's departure from Beijing so quickly? Then why didn't he know where Zhu Hao had gone? "Bing Yong, you know I never care about his affairs." Tang Yin smiled and did not explain in detail.
Zhang Cong said: "It's like this. The students discussed the relevant agenda of the Great Rites Conference with Mr. Huang Ge. They thought that the officials in Jicheng City who held the Great Rites Conference discussed the agenda of the Rites of Heaven. They thought that now only the city held the agenda of the Rites Conference.
There were few people, so I recommended some people to your Majesty, and your Majesty also agreed to transfer them to the capital and arrange for them to be used in various yamen. I have never discussed them with you, so I just want to tell you."
Tang Yin thought to himself, it's been five or six days since this happened, and you just came to tell me now. You clearly didn't intend to discuss it with me, so why did you come here today? Tang Yin smiled lightly and said, "If it helps to discuss etiquette,
It’s not a bad idea.”
Zhang Cong said: "Then why has Bachelor Tang not come to the Hanlin Academy to answer questions recently? You are now the Bachelor of Etiquette appointed by His Majesty. Regarding the matter of Etiquette, I want to discuss it with you, but I can't find anyone, so I can only come and disturb you.
.”
"oh!"
Only then did Tang Yin realize that Zhang Cong was questioning him.
He respectfully called him a bachelor and called himself a student, but in a few sentences he turned to Tang Yin for being irresponsible.
"Bingyong, you should know that I never like to get involved in court disputes. Regarding matters of etiquette, you can discuss it with Mr. Huang Ge. From my side..."
Tang Yin tried his best to push back.
It was agreed that I would only be a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and the edict did not say that I would be asked to discuss rites.
Zhang Cong said: "But the problem is that you are the bachelor of Yili, and it is your unshirkable responsibility to open your eyes for His Majesty! Now there are waves of voices opposing Yili in the capital. It is time to curb the arrogance of this group of people, especially in the Imperial Academy
In the hospital, if you don’t come forward, many things will be difficult to move forward.”
Put pressure on!
Tang Yin thought to himself, I thought it was a good thing for Jingdao to go to Xishan, but he left a mess for me emotionally.
It was said that after I became a Hanlin bachelor, I didn’t have to work anymore and could just continue to be a Sanren. But within a few days, someone came to my door and forced me to work hard.
That brat must have known this would happen and deliberately dug a hole for me.
Who asked me to snatch Zhang Bingyong’s Hanlin bachelor’s position? If others don’t make things difficult for me, how can Zhang Bingyong not get in trouble? Tang Yin sighed: “Bingyong, I said it before
, you can decide on your own if you have anything to do, and His Majesty is willing to listen to your opinion. If you are undecided, you can also discuss it with Huang Xueshi. From my side... you can just treat me as if I don't exist."
Zhang Cong became even more angry after hearing this.
You don't want to be an official, but you occupy the crucial position of a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. I am full of ambitions, but I can only be a scholar of the Hanlin Academy?
Why do you have to work to pick fruits?
You are still saying it so confidently now. Since you can pretend that you don't exist, you should take the initiative to give up your position as a Hanlin bachelor!
"Bingyong, you have to know that sometimes His Majesty needs someone to take responsibility and bear the gossip of the world. I am exactly that person. If it were you, could you hold on?"
Tang Yin said with a straight face, "Really?" Zhang Cong naturally didn't want to admit it.
Why can you, Tang Yin, bear the slander and gossip, but I can’t? I’m not burdened with enough infamy?
But after all, Zhang Cong is not that kind of stupid young man. He is very politically sensitive. He can glean some flavor from Tang Yin's words.
Why did Huang Zan, the orthodox Nanjing Minister of Household Affairs and a Hanlin scholar, face so much pressure when he joined the cabinet, while Tang Yin had such a smooth transition to becoming a Hanlin scholar?
Just because Tang Yin was born in Prince Xing's palace, in the eyes of the ministers, the emperor needed such a close minister. Even if this person did nothing but was forcibly placed in the position of Hanlin bachelor, others would take it for granted.
Even ministers can deal with this kind of "closeness and distance" for the emperor. And if Zhang Cong becomes a Hanlin bachelor, he can make more achievements than Tang Yin, who is just a layman?
"Jingdao left the capital because he wanted to avoid the limelight, but he probably didn't go far and could come back at any time. He can take care of anything that happens in the capital."
Tang Yin said earnestly, "You want to bring the li assistants to the capital. I fully support it, but I don't think they should all obey your orders. This will be criticized. After they arrive in the capital, let them come to visit me. Maybe there will be some
I can give you some advice."
"Scholar Tang, what are you..."
Zhang Cong heard that Tang Yin wanted to recruit his people. Tang Yin said: "Now that the situation in the court is uncertain, I will stay in the court. When the big events are decided in the future, I can retreat bravely... Bingyong
, this court belongs to you rising stars after all, you have nothing to do with me, you don’t have to be wary of me at all times, you can just charge towards your life goal!”
