Zhu Hao just came to visit Fengxi. After he returned, he could explain the situation of his old subordinates to Liu Chun. The civil service group was still very concerned about Fengxi's situation.
After meeting Fengxi, Zhu Hao didn't have much friendship with the others. Even his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, he didn't intend to meet them, especially Yu Chengxun and Ye Guizhang, who had relatively many interactions with him. Since they have now
If we openly oppose each other, we will become enemies when we meet again.
When Zhu Hao brought Xia Yan's "confession" to meet Zhu Si in the palace, Zhu Si couldn't help but curse.
"Look at who these guys are. They will sell out whenever their colleagues say they will. They are all for their own benefit. Do you have any principles at all?"
Zhu Si seemed to look down on Xia Yan. Then he looked at Zhu Hao with eager eyes and asked, "With this thing, can we classify the people named Yang and Jiang as rebels? I can send people to arrest them."
them?"
Zhu Hao shook his head: "That's inappropriate."
Zhu Si was very puzzled and frowned: "You shouldn't want to speak for them, right? If that's the case, you shouldn't have asked Xia to write such a confession in the first place. Could it be that you have something better?
plan?"
Even Zhang Zuo on the side was waiting for Zhu Hao to come up with a "clever move".
Zhu Hao sighed: "No matter what they have done, the senior officials are admired by the literati. If we directly deny their achievements, the people will think, since they are so unworthy, why did your Majesty use them in the first place?
?This will ruin His Majesty’s reputation.”
"Um."
Zhu Si nodded, "It makes sense. But I can't let them go completely."
Zhu Hao said again: "Your Majesty can ask people from the Hanlin Academy to compile a book, led by two Hanlin bachelors who discuss rites, specifically discussing royal ethics. After the revision is completed, the original meaning of ministers described in this book will be used.
Let’s determine the pros and cons of those ministers. In this way, there will be specific evaluation standards, and it will be obvious which one is right and which is wrong.”
Zhu Si smiled and said: "That's right. So what should this book be called? By the way, it's called "Minglun Dadian". Why don't you, Jingdao, be the chief editor?"
Zhu Hao shook his head and said: "It's better to let Academician Zhang and Mr. Tang come, and I can provide some opinions."
"good."
Zhu Sidao said, "As long as you give your opinion, I won't force you. After the book is completed, I will punish those people according to what is mentioned in the book. If I have this thing... I will have enough when I bring it up in court."
The reason is to make people named Yang and Jiang pay the price!"
…
…
After Zhu Hao met the Holy Queen, he left the palace and met Liu Chun that night.
Liu Chun was very worried when he heard that Fengxi was in poor condition, but he was relieved when he learned that Fengxi would not need to be tortured with a stick in the future... In the end, it was because Fengxi was going to be sent to the border guard station to guard the border.
Feeling emotional.
"Jingdao, is there no way to recover? Even if you cut your job to serve the people, it is better than torturing people like this." Liu Chun said.
Zhu Hao shook his head: "I have done all the efforts I can. Your Majesty is very insistent on this."
Liu Chun sighed: "I also know that you will not add insult to injury to them. After all, you came from the Hanlin Academy. It is not your Majesty's responsibility that this matter has reached this stage. If they were not so radical, they would not
There are current results.”
Just listening to these words, Zhu Hao felt that Liu Chun was quite reasonable.
"Those who have always accompanied kings since ancient times have to figure out their superiors' intentions. It's not that they don't understand, but they have to do it in order to maintain justice... The historians will give them justice."
Liu Chun continued to sigh.
Zhu Hao took out something and handed it to Liu Chun.
Liu Chun asked: "What is this?"
Zhu Haodao: "Yongxiu wrote a letter to Mr. Fei Ge from Fusi, Beizhen... This is the second letter. I don't know how he wrote it, but since he asked me to send it, I should understand what's behind it.
What are the consequences? All I can do is deliver the letter for him."
"Alas! Why doesn't Yong Xiu understand it until now? As long as he is in power, he has no choice in his position, and his outcome is also destined. He is too paranoid!"
Liu Chun had a thorough understanding of Yang Shen's situation.
As long as Yang Shen is still in the court and discussing matters with great ceremony, no matter how cunning and philistine he is, he has to stand in his father's position, because his fame and wealth all come from his father's political legacy, so he has no choice.
As the successor of Yang Tinghe's will, the emperor would definitely not let him go in the end.
This leads to... no matter what you Yang Shen do, your results are destined.
It seems that Yang Shen is the only one who doesn't know and is still fighting pointlessly.
Liu Chun said again: "Jingdao, how many of the officials currently imprisoned in Beizhen Fusi can you protect?"
Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Liu Ge, I am really powerless. If I can go see them, see their situation, and take two letters out, it is already considered a good thing. Not to mention you, even Xi Shangshu and others
He also asked me to help, but when the monarch and his ministers are at odds like this, how much can I change the status quo by myself?"
"Okay, stop complaining."
Liu Chun rolled his eyes at Zhu Hao, "From now on, you will belong to this court. I also talked to Gongxian before, and he also admires you very much. It seems that it is not long before you join the cabinet!"
…
…
Zhu Hao did not expect that out of the three members of the cabinet, two of them had no hostility toward him and even accepted the emperor's plan to promote a young man who was less than twenty years old to the cabinet.
Of course, the biggest obstacle comes from Fei Hong. After all, civil servants now regard Fei Hong as their leader. Liu Chun and Huang Zan have never been in the cabinet in history. They were all changed by Zhu Hao. Their influence among civil servants is
Seriously inadequate.
It can be said that the current government can do without Liu Chun or Huang Zan, or even both at the same time, but it cannot be without Fei Hong.
Unless we find a more convincing person to be the first assistant...for example, Yang Yiqing.
However, as a traditional civil servant, Yang Yiqing has extraordinary methods, and Zhu Hao himself does not know whether he can fight against such a person.
After all, Zhu Hao's purpose is not to fight for the party. What he wants is to accumulate his own strength bit by bit and complete some ambitions that time travelers should complete, such as building roads, building ships, etc., so as to promote the scientific and technological progress of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, Zhu Hao
He doesn't care so much about who will be the chief minister or whether he will join the cabinet.
In the past two days, Zhu Hao ran to Tang Yin's house whenever he had nothing to do.
Zhu Hao knew that when he met Tang Yin once, he would lose one.
Tang Yin was also optimistic, but he seldom went out and painted at home. Sometimes he even picked up a pen to record something, probably because he wanted to leave some more reputation in the literary world before he died and pass on his legacy.
"In the past few years, I haven't accumulated much wealth."
Tang Yin cried in front of Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao said: "Sir, please relax, I will take good care of your family. It's my wife..."
What Zhu Hao means is that not long after she marries you, she is likely to be widowed. What do you think, do you want her to remarry, or should she stay and take care of your children and remain a widow for the rest of her life?
Because your status is there, as long as you don't let go, the woman can only stay in the Tang family.
After all, she is pregnant with your child, and this child will most likely become a posthumous child.
Tang Yin rolled his eyes at Zhu Hao angrily and said, "You kid, are you sincerely trying to cause trouble for me? No matter where she is in the future, as long as the child is mine."
"Um."
Zhu Hao nodded, "If you are so open-minded, sir, then I solemnly promise you that as long as this child reaches a certain age, I will personally teach him academics! Just like you taught me. But if it is a girl...
There’s nothing I can do to help.”
Tang Yin glared at Zhu Hao again: "Just don't worry about it."
"hehe."
Zhu Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Maybe Tang Yin really has some misunderstanding about him now. Tang Yin has a stereotype about him because of Lou Suzhen's incident.
But who makes you, Mr. Tang, not so charming that Lou Suzhen doesn’t want to stay with you forever?
If you are more serious, show the enthusiasm of a great husband, and be more career-oriented, then you can see if Lou Suzhen is willing to follow you?
"Your Majesty's side..."
"I did not say."
"Then don't say it."
"oh."
"I've made a few more paintings here. Take a look at them and take them back."
Tang Yin saw Zhu Hao these days and gave him paintings whenever he had nothing to do.
Zhu Hao was quite happy originally. Tang Bohu's paintings, what a treasure are they?
If this were placed hundreds of years later...
The problem is, Tang Yin has been painting too frequently recently. You said you paint two paintings a day. How can the quality be higher? You don’t understand the principle that rare things are valuable, right?
"Sir, I have too many paintings of yours at home, you'd better give them to others," Zhu Hao said.
Tang Yin said: "Don't be shy, I won't give it to others if they ask for it... But I also know that your painting skills are not bad."
"Um."
Zhu Hao nodded, "I haven't painted for a long time. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will burn it to the ground for you."
"Can you say a nice word?"
Tang Yin really couldn't stand listening anymore, and originally wanted to continue talking about family matters with Zhu Hao, but because there was a bit of sadness between the two of them that they would be separated forever, Tang Yin also knew that he couldn't bear it, so he simply left Zhu Hao early.
Get out.
"Remember, take good care of her for me." Tang Yin said.
"who?"
Zhu Hao asked.
Tang Yin rolled his eyes at Zhu Hao and didn't even mean to answer.
Needless to say, it's Lou Suzhen again.
Luo Hua is intentional and Liu Shui is ruthless. Zhu Hao can't tell the difference now. Between Tang Yin and Lou Suzhen, who is Luo Hua and who is Liu Shui?
These two people are both their own falling flowers and each other's falling water.
Suitable for friends, not suitable for lovers.
…
…
Because of Tang Yin's incident, Zhu Hao has gone home to have dinner with Sun Lan a lot more recently.
Zhu Hao often took Sun Lan back to see Zhu Niang. Seeing his sister growing up day by day, Zhu Hao also began to worry about his sister's marriage.
"Xiao Hao, how did you become the minister? I heard that this official is very powerful... I don't understand, does it mean that I will have a royal title in the future?"
Zhu Niang cares very much about royalties and so on.
Zhu Hao said: "Generally, you have to wait nine years to complete the imperial examination, but I will fight for it with Your Majesty later."
Aunt Li asked: "What about me?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "They are all there, they are all there."
Zhu Niang said: "It's time for you to look for your sister and see if there is a good family to marry... I don't want to be like you, but it would be better if you were born in Juren."
