Jinyi champion

Chapter 1001 I only see one is enough

Tang Yin's road to the cabinet was almost paved by Zhu Si and Zhu Hao.

The four people in the cabinet did not have much opposition to this matter, mainly because the words the emperor said to the four people were more touching... On the issue of Tang Yin's life and death, they felt that the emperor would not use this to deceive people. Since it was said that Tang Yin would be a cabinet minister for at most three months, they believed it.

This is also related to Tang Yin's character, everyone knows what kind of person Tang Yin is, he doesn't even want to be an official for him, and it is reasonable to have a cabinet minister's addiction before he dies.

It is equal to the second Yuan Zonggao.

On the first day of the new year, when the ministers entered the palace to celebrate the new year, Zhu Hao also mixed in the crowd, walking with colleagues from the Imperial Academy.

The Hanlin Academy had just undergone a large-scale cleansing, so that the talents withered, even those who were still in the Imperial Academy, one or two of them were gloomy at this moment.

The ministers are still waiting for the face-to-face in the Wenhua Hall. There is news that the first candidate to be promoted to the Hanlin Bachelor has been confirmed. That is Jia Yong, who was a lecturer in the past. Academy affairs means that Zhang Cong, who was the only remaining member of the previous round of four Hanlin bachelors, was promoted by a person who was not as high as him to occupy the position of "chief Hanlin bachelor" that should have belonged to him.

Regarding Jia Yong's promotion, many people present did not understand what was going on.

It is reasonable to say that such an important position as a Hanlin Bachelor needs to be finalized through court promotion, but in the past six months, the Hanlin Bachelor has been the most dangerous and frequently transferred position. It seems that whoever the emperor wants to be a Hanlin Bachelor can be the one.

In addition, Jia Yong himself belongs to the backbone of the "Protecting Rituals", and is a member of Shi Pang's faction. After Jia Yong was promoted, he happened to take over Shi Ping's position in the Imperial Academy. The civil servants did not have much reaction to this matter. To put it bluntly... If the promotion rules are violated, and the promotion is from a hostile faction, then firmly oppose it; on the contrary, if it is one of your own people, even if the rules do not comply, no one will have any objections.

Double standard of qualifications.

Jia Yongsheng's Hanlin Bachelor degree can be regarded as justifiable, because he has always been popular in the Hanlin Academy.

It's just that many people who had a good relationship with Jia Yong had some criticisms about it.

The reason is that Jia Yong was not as resolute as Fengxi when it came to the ceremony, and unfortunately he was dispatched to the guard station to defend the border...Since you, Jia Yong, have not fulfilled the highest goal of the Ritual Guards, and you have not even maintained integrity, now You are the one who got promoted, and as the ultimate beneficiary, we have reason to think you are a traitor.

……

……

Around noon, Zhu Sicai came out to meet civil servants in the Wenhua Hall.

At this time, in Beijing, he ordered his wife to also enter the palace to congratulate Empress Dowager Zhang on the New Year. Zhu Si also specially asked these people to meet Empress Dowager Jiang after meeting Empress Dowager Zhang.

After all, the matter of "Huang Bo Kao" has not yet been settled, and Zhu Si now has two fathers and two mothers on his head.

Empress Dowager Zhang is a decent empress dowager, and even Zhu Si would recognize her. Although he is also very depressed now, he wants to win a higher status for his old mother, which is also an important reason why he wants to push this matter forward in the next year.

The Lunar New Year is over.

All the ministers went out of the palace, and the emperor specially left three people behind.

Zhu Hao, Zhang Cong and Jia Yong.

Others saw that these three people didn't seem to have much contact with each other. First of all, the emperor and Jia Yong were not in the same group... They all wondered if there was some secret that should not be revealed to outsiders.

But after thinking about it, I feel relieved. After all, two of the three are Hanlin bachelors, and the other is also a serving scholar. They are the existing "Big Three" in the Imperial Academy. The emperor wants to discuss with them the situation of the Imperial Academy. There is nothing wrong with it. .

It's just that Li Tingxiang was not left behind, which aroused suspicion.

Some people also said that because Li Tingxiang sang against the emperor at the ceremony, he might be dispatched to Nanjing soon... This is understandable.

There are different opinions.

When Zhu Si met with the three of them, he didn't choose Qianqing Palace, but directly in Wenhua Palace.

"Jia Qing's family, from now on, the affairs of the Imperial Academy will be entrusted to you."

Zhu Sixian made job arrangements for Jia Yong.

Jia Yong hurriedly said: "I should do my best."

No matter what opinions the ministers have on the emperor during the ceremony, at least the status of the emperor and ministers is still clear, and it is impossible for the ministers to challenge the emperor at such a time.

Zhu Sidao: "If there is anything you don't understand in the future, you can just ask Jingdao directly."

"Ok?"

Jia Yong was a little confused for a moment.

Just now you said let me do a good job, now I have something to ask Zhu Jingdao?
Doesn't that mean...Zhu Jingdao is my boss?
As for me, a scholar in charge of the Academy, if the person in charge of the cabinet threatens me, I can still understand. Is Zhu Jingdao now a cabinet minister?How can he give orders to me?
Jia Yong then looked at Zhang Cong, but saw Zhang Cong's expression was indifferent, and he could tell at a glance that Zhang Cong knew very well why the emperor made such arrangements, because Zhu Haozhen was... a small official with great power.

"Don't be suspicious."

Zhu Sidao, "In the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, listen to Jing Dao more, and I didn't say that you should listen to him in everything. You can also negotiate on your own when you encounter small matters. In the next year, Jing Dao will be transferred to the Ministry of Industry as Zuo Shilang. I have already made it clear to several elders, of course he will still hold the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the job of the Imperial Academy will also be retained."

Jia Yong was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, will this... be against the rules?"

Zhu Si said angrily: "How do you call it conforming to the rules? You don't need to teach me a lesson! Now it is the work arrangement for you, not for you to set the rules for me here."

Jia Yong was resentful.

He naturally wanted to make a difference. If it wasn't for the major changes in the Hanlin Academy, it is estimated that Jia Yong would not be able to make it so soon... Although Jia Yong's promotion of the Hanlin Bachelor has long been in the plan, who made the recent emergence of Zhu Hao, People like Zhang Cong, Xi Shu, Huang Zan?

Now that Jia Yong finally got what he wanted, he really didn't want to have too much trouble with the emperor.

It doesn't do him any good.

"In addition, I will consider according to the situation and let Yang Yingning from Zhenjiang and Xie Yuqiao from Yuyao return to the court. Both of them are ministers of Ming Dynasty and are very familiar with the affairs of the court. That's what I think. Let Xie Yuqiao join the court. Pavilion, let Yang Yingning be Minister of the Ministry of Officials after returning to the court."

The emperor's words are quite particular.

Zhang Cong's goal is to transfer Yang Yiqing and Xie Qian back to serve in the Hanlin Academy system. The powerful Yang Yiqing will be the leader and enter the cabinet first. Perhaps Yang Yiqing will be able to push down the previous few and let him be the first assistant.

The person Zhu Hao had to deal with at that time was Yang Yiqing.

But if Yang Yiqing is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials... only Xie Qian enters the cabinet, Zhu Hao's pressure will be greatly relieved.

Zhang Cong also knows that Xie Qian is too old and not keen on returning to the court to enter the cabinet. On the contrary, Yang Yiqing seems to have spare energy. The situation and official attitude are still very clear.

In addition, Yang Yiqing received more support in the court because of his military merits. In Zhang Cong's view, even if Zhu Hao was full of conspiracy and deceit, it must not be the old minister and old cabinet minister like Yang Yiqing who had his disciples all over the court. opponent.

"It's all dealt with after the year, let me tell you first." Zhu Sidao.

Zhang Cong asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, if Tang Xueshi enters the cabinet, I don't know if there is a need to increase the number of Hanlin scholars? There is also the matter of Zhan Shifu..."

In the previous assignment of the four Hanlin bachelors, Shi Jing was in charge of the Hanlin Academy, Fengxi was in charge of the Zhan Shifu, Tang Yin was in charge of the ceremony, and Zhang Cong was in charge of making edicts and discussing the ceremony.

Now even if Jia Yong is added, there are still only two Hanlin bachelors in office, and this responsibility seems not enough.

The emperor didn't say that he would hand over all the errands to the two of them.

Zhu Sidao: "Hanlin bachelors, naturally capable people live here. My original idea was to let Jing Dao serve as an attendant to a bachelor's position, so that he can be a Hanlin bachelor and Zhan Shifu Zhan Shifu, but he insists on going to the Ministry of Industry. I can only Put this matter aside for now. Let's decide on the candidate."

Zhang Cong didn't think much of what the emperor said.

The emperor even listened to Zhu Hao's opinion on things like reviewing memorials. Is it so strange for Zhu Hao to be a Hanlin scholar?It is estimated that the emperor is eager to let Zhu Hao directly be the chief assistant!
After Jia Yong heard it, he felt mixed feelings.

I really don't want to listen to the emperor's heartfelt words face to face. I really don't know that the emperor's trust in Zhu Hao can reach such a level.

Is Zhu Hao going to be the second Jiang Bin?

Speaking of this, Zhu Si looked around, probably about to leave, until now Zhu Hao still didn't say a word.

"Jingdao, you and I go to greet the queen mother." Zhu Si said.

What this means is that when I see the three of you, it’s actually to pave the way for seeing Zhu Hao. If Zhu Hao is left alone, the minister may have even greater opinions on him and make him more abrupt, so then leave the three of you alone. This... What I told you earlier was just a briefing session. The mission you pretended to be a cover has been successfully completed, and now you can get out.

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty, I still have some private matters to be completed, I'm afraid I don't have time."

It was another sentence that surprised Jia Yong and even Zhang Cong.

You said that if there is something to do, there will be something to do, and you actually use "private matters" to prevaricate the emperor?

You don't know how stubborn the emperor is, do you?He said to let you see the queen mother... Although I don't know which queen mother it is, but as long as you dare to mess with the moth, you will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Zhu Si laughed and said, "What? The family affairs have not been settled yet? In fact, I just want to take advantage of my uncle's entry into the palace and arrange for him to return to Anlu, so that you can listen to it. Please refer to it. Xiu, the affairs of Prince An Luxing's mansion also need to be rectified, and Yuan Changshi helped me in the past, but now only you know the inside story and can help plan."

Jia Yong couldn't bear to listen, so he hurriedly saluted: "Your Excellency will leave."

Zhang Cong also said: "The minister will leave."

Zhu Sidao: "You can do what you want, come and send the two Hanlin scholars out of the palace."

Immediately someone came over to take orders, and took Zhang Cong and Jia Yong out of the Wenhua Hall and went to the Meridian Gate.

Zhu Si and Zhu Hao, the monarch and minister, stayed for a little more conversation.

Zhu Sidao: "Jing Dao, don't blame me for making my own decisions, everything has subsided now, if I still ask you for help in everything, I also feel that I am too incompetent.

"Let me let go of my hands and feet to deal with it first. If something is wrong, or something happens, you can come forward to help me make up for it. If you have something to do, go, but remember to ask your uncle when you see him before he leaves. good."
