I usually teach people a lesson, but you actually came to teach me a lesson today? Believe it or not, you...
Yang Shen was about to scold him when he suddenly realized something. Zhu Hao's words were not simply sarcastic, but more of an "intimidation".
"Did you know that I met Eunuch Zhang?" Yang Shen frowned.
Zhu Haodao: "Is this a secret? Brother Yongxiu, please relax. As long as you are stubborn in discussing etiquette, no one will believe it even if someone exposes it. Who do you think you are fighting with Mr. Tang?
When Eunuch Zhang negotiated terms with you, didn’t you mention the change in your principles? "
"What did you say?" Yang Shen frowned.
Yang Shen himself was also very surprised. The emperor wanted to send him a bachelor's degree, but he didn't ask him to give up on the ceremony. He just asked him to relax a little and let the two of them stand on the same level.
Seems very unusual.
Is a bachelor's degree lecturer so "worthless"?
Now Zhu Hao said that it was him who helped him fight in front of Tang Yin so that he could continue to uphold his philosophy of opposing the Great Rites Conference, which surprised Yang Shen.
Zhu Haodao: "I told Mr. Tang that you, Yang Yongxiu, are the most principled. If you were asked to give up your principles in exchange for fame and fortune, you would refuse without hesitation. This would not be in line with His Majesty's philosophy of keeping peace. Alas!"
Although Yang Shen was still angry in his heart, after listening to Zhu Hao's words, his anger eased a little.
"Then should I thank you?" Yang Shen snorted coldly.
Zhu Hao shook his head: "I didn't intend to ask you to thank me. In fact, I also know that acting as a lobbyist is not a glorious thing. Sometimes some things are simply unavoidable and I can only mediate. But this kind of human intervention,
It can only be that I don’t want to please anyone. Brother Yong Xiu, please take it seriously."
Zhu Hao did not advise Yang Shen to give up. He probably meant that you were going to continue to make trouble, but I, Zhu, would not be involved in it anymore.
Yang Shen calmed down his turbulent breath a little, thought about it, and didn't argue with Zhu Hao.
"Brother Yongxiu, I will never set foot here again. Don't send people to find me. I will try my best to fight for it. After the ceremony is over, I will be transferred to another place. The chance of you and me meeting is slim... Everyone is fine.
!「
After saying that, Zhu Hao handed over his hand and went out of the study room under Yang Shen's eyes.
That night, Yang Shen called Yu Chengxun and Ye Guizhang over to convey the news that Zhu Hao had reminded that the emperor might launch a general attack on the Great Ceremony in the next two days.
Ye Guizhang said: "Yong Xiu, do you still believe him now? Don't you think that we have been deceived by him from the beginning? He has always been His Majesty's man, but he has penetrated us to spy on the situation here.
Inform the palace people!"
Ye Guizhang had a deep prejudice against Zhu Hao. In addition, this time the Hanlin Academy said that it would promote ministers and ministers. In the end, only Gui E entered the Hanlin Academy as ministers and Fang Xianfu as ministers. These compilations, editing and so on
Not a single person was promoted.
On the other hand, Zhu Hao himself became a bachelor and the right minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. Due to his psychological imbalance, Ye Guizhang even regarded Zhu Hao as an alien.
So when talking, Ye Guizhang did not save any face for Zhu Hao.
Yang Shen did not reply to Ye Guizhang, but looked at Yu Chengxun and asked, "Maogong, do you think so too?"
Yu Chengxun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yongxiu, I used to have a lot of trust in Jingdao, but many things are hard to explain. In the past few days, Shao'e has always talked about it in my ears. After thinking about it, his words are not unreasonable.
.
"Um."
Yang Shen nodded, seeming to agree with what they said.
Ye Guizhang said: "Now we should tell our colleagues and let them know that Zhu Jingdao's evil deeds have made him unable to stand in the Hanlin Academy!"
"It's not necessary anymore."
Yang Shen decisively rejected Ye Guizhang's proposal.
Yu Chengxun was a little confused again. He felt that this was very unlike Yang Shen's style of doing things. Yang Shen was the kind of person who was always willing to spend money and money. If Yang Shen felt that he had been deceived by Zhu Hao, he would definitely think about it when he learned the truth.
Trampling Zhu Hao to death, hoping to turn him into a scum on the street and be reviled by the world.
Why does Yang Shen seem to... want to protect Zhu Hao this time?
Yang Shen said: "He came to me today and talked a lot. When it came to his position, I found that many things were not his own choice."
Ye Guizhang said angrily: "What are you talking about? Is it not an option for him to adhere to the court's laws and etiquette? Doesn't he read the books of sages? He doesn't even understand the most basic justice and principles? "
Yu Chengxun, as a little expert in redeeming respect, jumped over to excuse Yang Shen's position: "Shao'e, please be patient for a moment. I think by Xiu, I mean that Jingdao's mentor is the teacher of Prince Xingfu, even if Tang Yin
Most of the time, I don't want to get involved in court disputes, but as a student, Jingdao has no choice at all."
"he……"
Ye Guizhang thought for a moment, and he was actually not an unreasonable person. He thought that Tang Yin and Zhu Hao had a teacher-student relationship, and Tang Yin must have firmly stood on the emperor's side, while Zhu Hao, as a traditional scholar, could not disobey his teacher's orders.
Under the moral code, it is often difficult to survive in the cracks.
Yang Shen followed Yu Chengxun's words and said, "That's exactly what I mean. Jingdao has been studying in the palace since he was a child. No matter how many grievances his family has with Prince Xing's palace, he became the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty because of his cultivation.
There are also Uncle Tamada and others who treat him very kindly. After entering the court, regardless of his background, he spoke for the subjects many times and objected to etiquette. Can we still say that he did not uphold his principles? "
"Alas!" Ye Guizhang could only sigh.
Originally, they wanted to seek approval by asking Yang Shen and Yu Chengxun to classify Zhu Hao as an enemy, resolutely ruining Zhu Hao's reputation and assigning him to Zhang Cong's party.
As a result, Yang Shen, who is the most mean to others, actually chose to "understand" Zhu Hao's issue. This was unacceptable to Ye Guizhang... Why did you, Yang Shen, always trust Zhu Hao so much? Even if you knew that you had a different stance from him, you
Are you still trying your best to speak for him? What does this mean?
Yu Chengxun asked: "If we are going to kneel down at the palace gate, will Jingdao go?"
Yang Shen said: "I didn't even ask him, he took the initiative and wouldn't go."
"Haha, it seems that he wants to be like Sun Buntang and choose to be a fence-sitter who has nothing to do with himself... Speaking of which, since Jingdao entered the dynasty, Tang Yin first and then Sun Buntang were among his backers.
It seems that no one is upholding justice, but everyone on the other side is yelling at him. If I were him... I would be transferred to another place as soon as possible, which would save worry and trouble!"
Yu Chengxun seemed to be joking, and indirectly excused Zhu Hao.
Probably the intention is to follow Yang Shen's words and tell Ye Guizhang that Zhu Hao actually has no choice, or... he has tried his best!
Yu Chengxun added: "What Jingdao's position is does not affect the overall situation. It may even be helpful to us, because he can find out some information from the other side... The question before us now is how should we respond?"
Yang Shen said: "The plan remains unchanged. We will fight to the end in front of the palace gate!" "I'm afraid that the imperial court has already been prepared. Some colleagues are afraid and refuse to go. In the Imperial Academy, there are many people who can adapt to the wind!"
Ye Guizhang sat aside with a look of despair on his face. He regarded Zhu Hao as his lifelong rival.
At first, Zhu Hao was a "decent" person and he couldn't fight him. Now that Zhu Hao has become a "villain", he still can't fight him.
This so-called inability to compete refers to the value in Yang Shen's mind.
This made Ye Guizhang feel extremely frustrated, and he also felt that there were no good people in the Hanlin Academy, so his words also had a sense of decadence. Yang Shen said firmly: "You can't just treat the rice vat just because there are a few bugs in it."
The whole vat of rice has been thrown away. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to contact the people in the Sixth Section. Regarding the preparations made in the palace, conceal them from the outside world first, so as not to add invisible pressure to colleagues who are determined to go and remonstrate! "
Yu Chengxun said: "Even if you don't tell them, they will still know." "If you can hide it one by one, when people arrive, even if they find many guards outside the palace gate, will they still be able to shamelessly go back home?" Yang Shen was also annoyed.
Already.
Yu Chengxun and Ye Guizhang probably understood.
Without telling anyone in advance, deceiving one more person to go to the palace gate is a victory. Once the person is deceived, even if they find a bunch of royal guards and imperial guards waiting there with sticks, the deceived person will have no way of turning back.
I can only speak with the crowd.
Yu Chengxun said to himself, this is still your Yang Yongxiu style, it hasn’t changed at all!
There was no disturbance in the court meeting the next day, and there was no sense of the approaching storm at all in the court hall.
There is still one day left for the agreement between Zhu Si and Zhu Hao, but the news has begun to spread in the Hanlin Academy. However, the top civil servants in the court have no idea at all. They also feel that the new year is approaching, and the emperor may have to discuss etiquette.
It was postponed until later in the year.
Still have a good year.
After the ministers retreated, a man quickly approached Fei Hong. Because of his low status, many people looked at him sideways. Why are you, a small seventh-rank official, so ignorant? This is the person who came.
The military department gave Xia Yan's words on the matter.
"Fei Zhongtang, I heard the news early this morning that your Majesty is going to push forward the ceremony in the next two days." Xia Yan came to deliver the news to Fei Hong.
Fei Hong didn't say anything. Liu Chun, the second assistant next to him, asked curiously: "Where did you hear the news?"
Xia Yan shook his head: "I don't know the details, but it seems that there are rumors in the Hanlin Academy, and I came here to inform you. It is said that someone wants to unite the civil servants of the court and go to Zuoshunmen to kneel and remonstrate. Your Majesty also seems to have heard the news through the Jinyi Guards.
, I have already taken precautions. If things get into trouble, I'm afraid it will... "
Xia Yan looked considerate of his colleagues and had a compassionate attitude. The sincerity of his tone moved people.
Fei Hong was walking forward. When he heard this, he couldn't help but glanced at Huang Zan, then withdrew his gaze and said in a leisurely tone: "It's okay to go to Zuoshunmen and kneel to remonstrate, but you must be careful not to cause chaos in the court.
You people in science and education, it’s best to do what you can and don’t force it!”
