Zhu Hao did not show up at the court meeting the next day.
However, Zhu Hao's memorial had been sent to the cabinet the day before, and at the court meeting, Zhu Si personally rejected Zhu Hao's request to appoint someone else as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
"...I select talents and use them, and the court has also discussed them. If you fail to perform your duties because of this, it will be a violation of the court's rules. As a minister, you cannot act willfully. Taking care of your own reputation is more important than maintaining the stability of the court.
If so, can he still be considered a competent minister?"
Zhu Si's tone was very tough, but everyone could tell that the emperor seemed to be protecting Zhu Hao.
It seems that this position must be given to Zhu Hao.
After the court meeting, Zhu Si specially asked Zhang Zuo to go to the cabinet and make some explanations to the three current cabinet members.
After Jiang Mian and Mao Ji left the cabinet, there was finally no one whom Zhu Si particularly hated. Fei Hong was appointed as the first assistant, which was able to calm people's hearts. After all, Fei Hong was an old minister who had been in the cabinet during the Zhengde period. He was highly respected and respected.
Let the transition of the court proceed in an orderly manner. When Zhang Zuo left, Fei Hong personally saw him off.
Fei Hong asked: "Eunuch Zhang, if Zhu Jingdao, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, continues to decline, what will your majesty mean?"
Zhang Zuo smiled and said: "Of course I will continue to let Zhu Hanlin be the minister. This position must be for him."
"oh."
Fei Hong was not sure about the emperor's thoughts at first, but after listening to Zhang Zuo's words, he probably understood that this was a done deal.
After Zhang Zuo left the cabinet for duty, he did not go back to see Zhu Si. Instead, he came outside the palace. He went directly to Tang Yin's door without going to see Zhu Hao first.
Many people came to visit Tang Yin's family that day. The door was crowded with people. Some people came directly to the door without even preparing name cards. They were basically scholars from Jiangnan. They felt that Tang Yin was a representative of Jiangnan scholars.
, it should be to respond to the requests of local scholars.
Precisely because he has experienced a lot of such unreasonable things recently, Tang Yin has no intention of seeing guests recently.
On that day, he even used the excuse of being ill to thank guests behind closed doors. But when Zhang Zuo arrived, Tang Yin still had to be patient and see him. "...Mr. Zhu somehow refused, and even His Majesty refused.
Such a day of life and death, He Tianan
I know what Mr. Zhu’s intentions are. They agreed to complete the ceremony before taking office, but Mr. Zhu doesn’t seem to be in a hurry. Mr. Tang, you must have met him, right? Did he say anything?
「
Zhang Zuo was very anxious.
When the big guys fight, I, the errand boy, will suffer.
The emperor desperately wanted Zhu Hao to help settle the matter of the great ceremony, but Zhu Hao showed a calm attitude, so Zhu Si simply mentioned Zhu Hao to the position of right minister of the Ministry of Rites...
There seems to be some resentment between the monarch and his ministers.
Even though Zhu Si and Zhu Hao did not admit each other, Zhang Zuo, as a bystander, saw a clue and did not want to see a crack between the monarch and his ministers at this time.
After all, the big thing hasn't happened yet. Tang Yin said: "I haven't seen it before." Zhang Zuo was speechless.
I have come to your door in person to tell you before, so that you can have more time to communicate with Mr. Zhu and understand his intentions. Sometimes we cannot go to the door to ask him in person, so we rely on you to give us some information. As a result...
…You are better at prevaricating than ours.
Zhang Zuo asked: "Then what is Mr. Tang's opinion on the matter of discussing etiquette?"
Tang Yin frowned: "You mean, if Jingdao can't help His Majesty, then I have to step in?"
"Haha." Zhang Zuo smiled.
Do you really think that the emperor promised that you could remain in office and not seek political advice, so you believed it?
You don’t even want to think about it. With so many people eyeing the position of Hanlin Bachelor, why can you be regarded as a Sanren? You don’t want to contribute on your own, and you don’t even want to come forward to ask Zhu Hao’s attitude. Even if the emperor can let you go, our family
They will also come and harass you, forcing you to come forward.
Tang Yin suddenly felt like he had been deceived.
"Then I'll find some time to urge you to pay my respects. But since he said it was done before the year, there will be no delay. Alas!"
Tang Yin felt very anxious.
After Zhu Hao resigned, the mainstream opinion in the DPRK and Central Committee still remained
In the past, Zhu Hao was asked to return to the Hanlin Academy and continue to be his editor. Even if he advocated serving as a reading and serving as a lecturer, he could not let Zhu Hao "reach the sky in one step".
Yang Shen sent people to look for Zhu Hao again that day, but failed to find him. Yang Shen made a special trip to visit Feng Xi.
At this time, there was already a dispute in the Hanlin Academy about whether Shiban should be admitted to the cabinet or Fengxi should be allowed to join the cabinet.
Many people think that since Shi Ban has not been in the cabinet before, don't take the opportunity from others now, and leave the cabinet minister's seat to Feng Xi. You, Shi Ban, can just be a Hanlin bachelor in the Hanlin Academy and wait for his official career.
Yang Shen wanted to use the conflict of interest between Groupan and Fengxi to get closer to Fengxi and form a confrontation with Shiban. Because Yang Shen didn't like Groupan at all.
"Xueshi Feng, I hope you can come forward and object to the imperial court's arrangement for the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. I am not opposed to Jingdao's promotion, but it is indeed inappropriate for him to be the right minister of the Ministry of Rites."
What Yang Shen said to Feng Xi was a bit like an order. Regardless of whether you agree or not, I am here to inform you that you must follow what I said and file a report to object to this matter.
Fengxi had a very headache.
For Fengxi, the Dali Conference can stick to the side of "successor", but it is best not to let me be the leader. As for who is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites...is there really any difference?
So what if you, Yang Shen, can be the bachelor's lecturer, and Zhu Hao can be the bachelor's student? Even when you, Yang Shen, recommended the list of candidates for promotion, didn't you take the initiative to favor Zhu Jingdao?
Fengxi said: "Yongxiu, Jingdao himself will submit his resignation, but His Majesty's attitude is not easy to understand. No one knows whether Your Majesty wants to use this person, or whether he is just using him to take over the position temporarily to avoid people in the court."
Continue to disrupt the order of the court with ritual affairs."
Yang Shen said coldly: "Didn't Master Feng ever think that Jingdao might secretly help His Majesty in matters of great ceremony?"
"Huh?" Fengxi was stunned for a moment.
Hasn't Zhu Hao always been "one of his own"?
Even if he was promoted exceptionally this time, do you dare to say that the position he was promoted to is not a hot potato?
Is that a position that everyone covets?
Among the people in the court, there was probably only one Zhang Cong who was most determined to be the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the rest were afraid to avoid him.
Can this also be said that Zhu Hao was working for the emperor behind his back?
"Shouldn't Jingdao ask himself how he feels about discussing etiquette?" Fengxi almost issued an eviction order.
Are you, Yang Shen, finished yet?
Don't think that since you have a father who is serving as the chief minister, we all have to listen to you. Do you think you are the prince?
Yang Shen softened his attitude slightly and said in a calm tone: "Since Academician Feng is unwilling to report, I will not force you to do so, but there is another private matter. I wonder if Academician Feng is willing to help?"
"Say." Fengxi was surprised.
This is not like Yang Shen's usual attitude.
Yang Shen said: "I would like to send a letter to Jingdao with Academician Feng, find a place to meet him, and ask for his opinion. I wonder if Academician Feng is willing to help?"
Fengxi was startled at first.
Originally he wanted to say, you should go alone.
But then he thought about it, Yang Shen mentioned in front of him earlier that Zhu Hao was probably secretly doing things for the emperor, and thus gained the emperor's "appreciation", which meant that Zhu Hao had betrayed the traditional civil servant camp. Since Yang Shen had this level
If he doubts it, he will no longer regard Zhu Hao as an ally. Naturally, he will not take the initiative to meet him.
In fact, Fengxi didn't know that Yang Shen simply couldn't find Zhu Hao, and Yang Shen felt that Zhu Hao was deliberately avoiding him.
Fengxi said: "It's not a bad idea for me to go see Jingdao. If you have anything to do, you can ask him directly. But the problem is that I don't know where Jingdao is. I'll agree to this first. You can go back and do your work. Don't worry about it anymore."
The affairs of the court are so laborious, so many things... just let them take their own course." I almost say that you, Yang Shen, are too lenient.
After all, Feng Xi was considered a discerning person in the Hanlin Academy. He could see that there was a grudge between Yang Shen and Zhu Hao, and once Zhu Hao became the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, his status would be higher than that of Yang Shen.
Yang Shen could no longer run up to Zhu Hao to question or even give orders in a arrogant tone.
Because Zhu Hao could not take him seriously.
Fengxi felt that Yang Shen asked him to meet Zhu Hao largely because he, Fengxi, at least had a higher official position than Zhu Hao and could ask questions.
But Fengxi didn't know where Zhu Hao was, and besides, he had another plan that day, which was to visit Liu Chun at his house.
Fengxi also had to work hard to get himself into the cabinet. Although he agreed to join the cabinet with Shiban in face of face... But that was Jiang Mian's intention. Now that Jiang Mian was gone, the emperor also made it clear that he and Shiban were
There is a direct competitive relationship between them, so why does it have to be Grouper and not him?
Since there is such a possibility, he must do something himself, right? Is he just watching the opportunity slip away from him?
Fengxi has a closer relationship with Liu Chun. He wants to ask what is the current situation of the cabinet?
Liu Chun received Fengxi in the living room of his home.
"...At present, the few of us have not discussed in detail whether you or Kuni Yan will join the cabinet. We expect that this matter will be mentioned again in the court in the next few days. But don't be too entangled, because someone else's opinion is better than ours.
All of them are more important... Haha, I really have nothing to reveal to you."
What Liu Chun wants to say is that even my entry into the cabinet was planned secretly by that boy Zhu Hao.
What was the situation like at that time?
Yang Tinghe was the chief minister, and the civil service camp in North Korea and China was almost monolithic. However, Zhu Jingdao found a loophole and forced me into the cabinet.
But now the civil service camp is basically in disarray, and there is no real leader. Isn't it just that whoever Zhu Hao wants to be in the cabinet will be included?
Isn't Huang Gongxian's entry into the cabinet a living example? Fengxi said: "Who is the person that Brother Renzhong is talking about?" Liu Chun understood in his heart, but Fengxi was really confused. Liu Chun shook his head.
"It's hard to say at the moment, but I will ask you later to see what the situation is." Fengxi was confused again. Are you going to ask? Who? His Majesty? Or Fei Hong?
Why are you, Liu Inzhong, talking so strangely today?
Liu Chun almost said, I am going to ask Zhu Hao to see if he wants you to join the cabinet. Anyway, it is probably Zhu Hao who has the final say on who will be added or subtracted from the bachelor's degree in the cabinet now.
