Chapter 1007 Calling (addition)
As soon as Zhu Hao arrived at Xishan, he entered the engineer mode.

Lu Song stayed in Xishan for a long time, and now he is in charge of building the city wall around Xishan, planning to develop Xishan into a new city closest to the capital, and this city formed by relying on the mine has a big difference in height, so building the city wall Not an easy task.

In order to ensure the stability of the new city, without having to garrison too many troops, we can only improve the weapons and use the generation difference of weapons to ensure that the place is not disturbed by foreigners or bandits.

Zhu Hao originally did not recommend spending huge manpower and material resources to build a city, but Zhu Si was very enthusiastic about it.

Zhu Si wants a city that is completely his own, especially now that Xishan is the only area that communicates with the capital by train.

at the same time.

In the capital, the grand ceremony for the abolition of Zhu Youzhang's imperial examination is in progress, and Zhu Si's only purpose is to establish that his only father is Zhu Youzhang.

And when Zhu Hao went to Xishan and Tang Yin didn't care about things, the main pressure of this matter fell on Zhang Cong...even Xi Shu was not very enthusiastic about it. That's fine, after all, the throne comes from Xiaozong, and now I don't recognize Xiaozong at all, I'm afraid it will bring legal problems.

Now Zhang Cong is eager to express himself.

Although Gui E went to Zhenjiang, Zhang Cong still sought help from Fang Xianfu and Huo Tao as much as possible, and drafted the imperial edict without Zhu Hao's help in a short period of time.

At the end of the Tianchao Conference, Zhang Cong personally sent the original copy of the imperial edict he had drawn up to the palace and presented it to Zhu Si.

Zhu Si was not very satisfied after reading it: "I said that I only recognize one father, but I didn't say that I completely gave up my filial piety to Emperor Daxing Xiaozong."

Zhang Cong thought to himself, you only want one father, but you still remain filial to the other?
Is not this contradictory?

Zhu Sidao: "Didn't I tell you earlier that Emperor Daxing Xiaozong was going to be the imperial uncle examination?"

Zhang Cong was very embarrassed when he heard it.

Kao is his deceased father, Huangbo Kao... This name is very new, it has never been used since ancient times, why create such a rare term to cause trouble for yourself?
Zhu Si became more and more dissatisfied with Zhang Cong, waved his hand and said, "When we go back, we will draw up again, and send it when we have finished. Sigh, I really don't have to worry about it."

……

……

Zhang Cong came out of Qianqing Palace, feeling a little depressed.

Obviously I have done a good job and followed the emperor's orders, but I still provoke disgust. This is clearly telling him... You are just not as good as Zhu Hao, and with him around, there will be no such troubles at all.

When Zhang Cong returned to the Hanlin Academy, Fang Xianfu was already waiting for him.

"how?"

Fang Xianfu stood up and asked.

Zhang Cong didn't say anything about being rejected by the emperor, and said in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be considered, especially the title of Emperor Xiaozong, which needs to be changed."

Fang Xianfu said: "Your Majesty doesn't want to be called Huang Bo Kao, does he? I have discussed this title with people, and they all think it is inappropriate, or it will cause disputes on etiquette, how about..."

Zhang Cong interrupted Fang Xianfu a little angrily: "Is it your family business or the royal family's business? Who do you listen to?"

"This……"

Fang Xianfu didn't expect Zhang Cong to lose his temper suddenly, and Fang Xianfu was not angry when he was reprimanded like this, but felt that Zhang Cong was a little out of control, and wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to persuade him.

Zhang Cong calmed down a little, and then said in a slow tone: "Now that Zhu Shilang is not in the capital, we must be loyal to the emperor and the country, and do things well, so that His Majesty will take a look at it. If we can't even do this , If you insist on singing against His Majesty, telling Your Majesty that this is not acceptable and that is not acceptable, then what is the difference between us and ordinary civil servants?"

"Oh I got it!"

Fang Xianfu understood completely at this time that they were not courtiers in the traditional sense at all.

It's just a group of upstarts who follow the emperor's will and sycophant. Now they almost look down on themselves.

……

……

The matter of the grand ceremony did not advance until the tenth day of the lunar new year, and Zhu Si kept urging it, but Zhang Cong finally wrote a new draft on the afternoon of the tenth day of the lunar new year, ready to submit it to the court tomorrow.

It was also on this day that Fei Hong sent someone to tell Zhang Cong that he would visit the Imperial Academy.

Zhang Cong could only calm down and meet Fei Hong who came alone in his office.

"The middle hall."

Zhang Cong saluted Fei Hong respectfully.

Fei Hong nodded and motioned Zhang Cong to sit down.

After the two sat down, Fei Hong said: "Your Majesty discussed the ceremony and asked the Ministry of Rites, saying that you haven't reported it yet?"

"Report tomorrow." Zhang Cong said.

Fei Hong asked, "I don't know where it has progressed?"

When he came up and asked key questions, Zhang Cong replied without thinking: "It's all up to His Majesty, I don't know yet."

As soon as Fei Hong heard it, he knew that Zhang Cong was deliberately shirking.

You have helped the emperor draft the edict, do you know where the emperor has advanced?

You, a Hanlin scholar, are only responsible to the emperor. Even when my dignified chief assistant came to ask you, you refused to reveal the slightest information, did you?

"Bingyong, you have been in the court for a long time, and you should know many things. The courtiers should not interfere with the royal affairs. If there is a major change in the royal family's etiquette, it should be discussed extensively instead of working behind closed doors."

Fei Hong was being polite when he said that, so he almost pointed at Zhang Cong's nose and scolded him for being ignorant of current affairs.

Zhang Cong didn't seem to feel Fei Hong's anger at all, his expression was calm, and his tone was unhurried: "I don't understand these red tapes."

In one sentence, Fei Hong's doubts were hardened.

Fei Hong couldn't help frowning.

He thought to himself, originally thought that Zhu Jingdao was the outlier in the court, but it seems that the real outlier is Zhang Bingyong. Seeing him like this, he doesn't seem to be serious at all, he only cares about how to cater to the emperor.

"That's fine, you can decide for yourself."

Fei Hong got up to leave.

Zhang Cong probably also felt that it was not a good thing to offend the chief assistant of the court, but Zhang Cong looked down on Fei Hong from the bottom of his heart, thinking that this old man was just a melon, not a star and a half worse than the previous Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian, and Zhang Cong also I feel that Fei Hong should withdraw from the court soon.

In the past, he didn't dare to neglect Fei Hong so much.

But now... when it comes to discussing etiquette, Zhang Cong feels that he must be tough on the head of civil servants. If he doesn't have this attitude, he will really become a follower. How could the emperor value him?
"Zhongtang, I also have something to remind you." Zhang Cong said.

Fei Hong turned around and looked at Zhang Cong, probably thinking that Zhang Cong was about to admit his mistake, so he said, "But it's okay to say."

Zhang Cong said: "Nowadays it is not my subordinates who are in charge of discussing rites, but Mr. Tang Ge and Zhu Shilang. If you have any questions in Zhongtang, just ask them."

"Ah."

Fei Hong frowned upon hearing this.

Zhang Cong thought he was surprised by the status of these two people in the court, but he didn't know that Fei Hong was just wondering what Zhang Cong meant by saying these words.

Obviously, Zhang Cong is suspected of sowing discord.

Don't you guys know what that kid Zhu Hao did?Then I'll tell you, he was the one who made the big ceremony, if you have any grievances against him, I'll just watch the fun from the sidelines.

"Ah."

Fei Hong thought again, Zhang Cong didn't hold back anything, nodded slightly, and left without looking back.

This walk made Zhang Cong puzzled.

Could it be that Fei Hong went back to deal with Zhu Hao?
But if that's the case... Is it possible for Fei Hong to leak Zhu Hao's real identity to more people?What if the emperor knows that the leak is related to me?
When Zhang Cong asked someone to reveal Zhu Hao's identity before, he didn't have so many worries, but now facing Fei Hong, a scheming chief assistant, he has no idea.

"It's time to say everything, I think it's enough for that kid Zhu Jingdao to drink a pot."

Zhang Cong felt angry, and took out the draft edict again, and studied and deliberated again, so that every word should be accurate, and no one could make any corrections after reading it.

……

……

Zhu Haoren is in the Xishan Mine.

Lu Song and his son handed Zhang Cong's draft edict to Zhu Hao for review. This was already a new draft, but Zhu Si was worried about it, so he specially sent someone to send it to Zhu Hao for reference.

Behind Lu Song is Lu Bing who just came from the capital.

Lu Bing was carrying a silver gun, and he didn't know if he was just posing, or he was really good at it... Zhu Hao always felt that Lu Bing looked more and more like Guan Jing now.

"Very good, just follow this." Zhu Hao said.

Lu Song asked: "Your Majesty sent someone to ask, don't you need to make corrections?"

Zhu Haodao: "Correct what? I can feel that Xueshi Zhang is very attentive in doing things, but sometimes there will be situations where he goes too far. He is just too eager..."

Lu Song thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty seems to be blaming Xueshi Zhang for not doing things properly, instead of overdoing things."

"You don't understand. I said that he was too eager. He wanted to be a cabinet minister and control the ministers. So now he does things in a regular manner, and it is this kind of inherent rules and tacit understanding among civil servants that is the biggest thing for him. constraints." Zhu Hao said.

"Oh."

Lu Song didn't want to understand where the key point was.

Zhu Hao said: "Xiao Bing, do you understand?"

Lu Bing smiled and replied, "I don't understand what you said."

Lu Song also said: "This child has a simple mind and well-developed limbs, and he is not good at reading, so he is not very good at these."

Zhu Hao thought to himself, no way, we all grew up together, Lu Bing is not that stupid, and he studies hard, even if he doesn't get into Juren, there should be no problem in passing a county test, such a smart kid In the future, if he can be the commander of Jin Yiwei and control the court, how can he be a brat who doesn't know much about the world?
Is there something wrong with this?

"Lu Qianhu, let Xiao Bing get in touch with the affairs of the court and China in the future, so that he can study hard." Zhu Hao said.

Lu Song said: "But he is not good at martial arts."

The father wanted to train his son, so he could only choose one aspect. He probably felt that Zhu Hao alone was enough for the emperor, so he wanted to train Lu Bing to be a general.

But now Zhu Hao's intention is to let Lu Bing practice both civil and martial arts.

"Martial art requires long-term training. It will not be bad for him to learn more about being an official during the period."

Zhu Haodao, "Your Majesty wants to control the ministers. It doesn't necessarily require one or two of us to be chief assistants or ministers. As long as we are in key positions, we can shine. We can't escape the tricks."

Lu Song had a slight expectation: "The humble official also hopes to do the same, I'm afraid that he... can't do it."

"Will not."

Zhu Hao said with a smile, "He is so smart, he will definitely know some things as soon as he is instructed."
