The emperor was so angry that Xi Shu, Gui E and others didn't understand. Then Zhu Si sat on the throne.
Zhang Zuodao: "Everyone, let's get to know each other again. This Mr. Zhu is a minister whom Your Majesty has always trusted. From the very beginning of the ceremony, Mr. Zhu has always been the one who makes suggestions. Whenever major events happen, Your Majesty will often adopt Mr. Zhu's opinions."
Hearing this, Gui E and others couldn't help but look at Zhang Cong.
Wasn't it Zhang Bingyong who was the one who charged forward during the great ceremony? Why are you now saying that it was Zhu Jingdao who was making suggestions for the emperor behind the scenes? Who is the instigator?
"His Majesty."
As the Minister of Rites, Xi Shu disliked such small-circle meetings, and did not want to be under Zhu Hao. On matters of etiquette, he wanted to give priority to his own opinions. After all, he was the Minister of Rites, and Zhu Hao
He is the minister, his subordinate. "I failed to understand what Eunuch Zhang meant."
Zhu Si asked curiously: "Did Shangshu Xi not understand? That is to say, when it comes to discussing rituals, I mostly follow Jingdao's advice. He was the one behind the plan from the beginning. If you don't believe it, you can ask Zhang Qing's family."
Zhang Cong stepped out in front of everyone, bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."
As a result, Gui E was most disappointed. He had always regarded Zhang Cong as the vanguard, but now he realized that he was with the wrong person. Fang Xianfu, Huo Tao and others all looked at Zhu Hao with surprised eyes.
The feeling of being teased.
Zhu Si continued: "Jingdao and I have known each other for a long time. I have been listening to his lessons since I was a child. He is half of my teacher. My father respected him when he was still alive. In the future, you can also come directly to ask for advice and consult him.
Just give your opinion!"
This made several people present unable to even stand. What does that mean?
Zhu Hao and the emperor were obviously the same age, but this boy actually taught the emperor? And the emperor just listened to him? So who does Tang Yin count?
Looking at Tang Yin's appearance, he didn't mean to argue at all. It seemed that Zhu Hao could have all the power and influence by the emperor's side. And haven't you, Tang Yin, been the emperor's husband since he was a child? Aren't you also Zhu Hao's husband? If Zhu Hao is the emperor's husband,
Where does that leave you?
Zhu Si ignored the strange looks of several people. In his opinion, what needs to be explained has already been explained. I tell you, listen to Zhu Jingdao if you have anything to do. This is my greatest trust in you.
After all, not everyone knows Zhu Hao’s identity. If he is willing to tell you, it means that you have become my confidant. No matter what position you are in now, your career will be smooth in the future. Of course, the premise is that you must abide by
On the basis of "rules".
And this rule is to listen to Zhu Hao first, he represents me!
Zhu Sidao said: "Everyone, there are officials making trouble at Zuoshunmen now. I am going to take Dongchang and Jinyiwei to arrest them." Xi Shu immediately asked Zhu Hao: "Shilang Zhu, is this the suggestion you made to His Majesty?"
Since the emperor said that Zhu Hao was his number one aide, Xi Shu wanted to ask Zhu Hao, as a civil servant, you actually encouraged the emperor to send people to arrest civil servants?
Even if you disagree with each other, you can't use factory guards and prison guards to deal with your colleagues, right? How can you set an example for civil servants by doing this?
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "I don't understand what Xi Shangshu means."
If you don’t understand, you don’t understand. Who can’t pretend to be confused? You want to use your civil official decency to suppress me and pretend that I don’t know?
I just pretended to be confused and refused to admit it. What can you do to me?
Zhu Sidao: "Xi Qing's family, what you said is wrong. Even if Jingdao asked me to guard against officials in Beijing causing trouble, it does not mean that he encouraged me to be violent with those officials. It is that I feel the need to teach them a lesson. Please speak.
Be careful!"
Under the influence of Zhu Hao for many years, Zhu Si, who has accepted the thinking of later generations, is not a fool.
If you say in front of this group of people that everything was Zhu Hao's idea, it will be harmful to Zhu Hao's future as an official.
In particular, some people may not necessarily follow Zhu Haoyan's advice. Maybe someone will leak Zhu Hao's identity as soon as he goes out today. Anyway, more people know now. Who knows who leaked the secret?
Xi Shu was both angry and anxious. After all, he was a rite-minded person. After all, he had served as governor of Huguang, and his qualifications and status were there. Unlike most of the people in front of him who had just entered the court, there were also
Tang Yin was a fisher in troubled waters who was not even a Jinshi.
Zhu Si asked Zhang Zuo beside him: "Have you sent someone to arrest the officials who caused the trouble?"
Zhang Zuodao: "I have asked the Jin Yiwei to go and capture a few leading officials and escort them to Beizhen Fusi for the time being." "Okay!"
Zhu Si nodded with satisfaction.
Xi Shu couldn't bear it after hearing this. He advocated "persuading people with reason", although he also knew that the great ceremony discussion was a matter of principle. No matter how correct and clear your theory is, the opponent will still resist it.
But he couldn't accept it either, and resorted to violent means to solve the problem when the situation arose.
Xi Shu said: "Your Majesty, if conflicts are provoked and the situation escalates, I'm afraid it will..." Zhu Si interrupted Xi Shu and asked, "Xi Qing's family, whose side are you on?"
"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with one's position, but one should act according to the law." Xi Shu argued vigorously.
Zhu Sidao: "Then do you think that those officials running to the palace gate and knocking on the door are a sign of obeying the law? In doing so, have they ever thought about the issue of decency? Why does everyone have to come to persuade me? Can you stand on my side?
Consider the issue from your standpoint?"
Zhu Si was also angry.
I asked you, Xi Shu, to be the Minister of Etiquette. You are here to help me with my work, not to make irresponsible remarks and accuse me. It’s okay if you don’t help, but you are actually doing the opposite and not helping me?
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what Xi Shangshu said is not unreasonable." "Jingdao, what did you say?"
Zhu Si looked over curiously.
Then Zhu Hao looked at Xi Shu and said: "Why don't you let Xi Shangshu go to Zuoshunmen to persuade the many colleagues there who are crying? See if they will change their minds?"
"you!"
Xi Shu glared at Zhu Hao.
Tang Yin on the side almost came out to persuade both parties to restrain themselves.
Shouldn't this gathering be open to the outside world with the same gun? How come we, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Rites, are arguing with each other internally? Are they even tit for tat?
Besides, even if you, Xi Shu, are the Minister of Rites, do you think you can challenge your subordinates? You really don’t know how many tricks this kid has! He is facing you now. Needless to say... he is what he said before.
As he said, he must make enemies for himself and let himself develop in the direction of being a loner. When Tang Yin figured out that Zhu Hao intended to confront Xi Shu, he chose to sit on the sidelines.
Zhu Hao continued: "Of course, I also know that it is useless to persuade them now. Either let them continue to cry at the palace gate to attract more sympathy and support, or do something to scare away the troublemakers.
Officials...or Xi Shangshu has a better strategy for His Majesty to choose?"
Zhu Hao finally made it clear.
It's my suggestion to send the Jin Yiwei to arrest people, what do you think? If you dare to do something, what is there that you don't dare to admit?
Since you, Xi Shu, don't agree with my point of view and want to question me, then you have to come up with a better solution. You can't say that others are doing nonsense while you have no insight. Then you might as well stand aside and say nothing.
Talking!
Xi Shu said: "At this time, someone should be sent to comfort him."
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "That's why I proposed that Xi Shangshu, the Minister of Rites, not be the most suitable candidate?" "Ahem!"
Xi Shu was choked by Zhu Hao and coughed.
Only then did Xi Shu realize that Zhu Hao was actually digging a hole for him when he told him to go, but he didn't realize it himself and followed Zhu Hao's instructions...
This kid obviously did it on purpose, but the question is how did I fall into the trap? Only then did Xi Shu realize that Zhu Hao was not an ordinary person.
Zhu Hao then looked around at everyone present and asked, "If you go to provide comfort and comfort, why don't we go together and argue with them? What do you think?"
Everyone present looked at each other.
At this time, if we argue with each other, we are not seeking death, right? The group of people at the door dared to bang their heads against the palace door. If we go forward, they will eat us alive?
Zhu Haodao: "But after thinking about it, it's a bit dangerous. It's better to find a few people first and move them to Fusi, Beizhen. We will go to the prison to reason with them, so that it can be tolerated."
Isn’t it much easier?”
"Haha." Zhu Si actually laughed there.
He heard that Zhu Hao choked Xi Shu on purpose to prevent Xi Shu from getting off the stage.
But Zhu Si liked to see Zhu Hao play like this very much, because Zhu Si also felt that Xi Shu was ignorant. You were obviously promoted by me to do things, but you always wanted to help those civil servants who made trouble. Isn't this clearly a betrayal?
?
Xi Shu said: "Shilang Zhu, please be more careful in your speech."
Zhang Cong came out and said: "Your Majesty, I also agree with Zhu Shilang's point of view. You should not be soft-hearted at this time, let alone show mercy. Your Majesty is already tolerant of the majority of people. If you do not punish even the leader, it will only
Make these people even worse! More people will follow suit!"
"Bingkuan, you..."
Xi Shu glared at Zhang Cong again.
At this time, Zhang Cong was extremely clear-headed.
Who can't see that the emperor only trusts Zhu Hao at this time, and you, Xi Shu, are nothing?
You were never the core figure around the emperor. You only gained your status today by making a few remarks about etiquette, but you always put yourself in a superior position. I can stand on the same position as you and let myself agree with you.
Are they also disliked by the emperor?
At this time, if you don’t support Zhu Hao, who will you support?
Moreover, I also want to make it clear that I support arresting people and sharing the pressure for Zhu Hao. Only in this way can it be shown that I am consistent with the emperor's opinions and can do things.
Gui E said: "I also second the proposal." At this time, Gui E had no choice.
But except for Zhang Cong and Gui E, Fang Xianfu and Huo Tao on the side did not move, because they felt that what was happening in front of them was a bit unreasonable, so they did not choose to stand aside, but just stood aside silently.
Zhu Si looked at Xi Shu and said, "Xi Qing's family, do you think I should arrest this person or not?" The pressure came to Xi Shu's side.
Xi Shu's old face was wrinkled, his breathing was short, and he looked extremely painful. He wanted to say no, but he knew that saying so would completely lose the emperor's trust in him. This was a difficult question for him to choose.
.
Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty, as the Minister of Rites, Xi Shangshu should not be allowed to choose to embarrass scholars. It is better to let the ministers bear the burden of such sins."
