Jinyi champion

Chapter 1020 He is sometimes too kind
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Si was in a good mood that day, and when he came out of Kunning Palace, Zhang Zuo sent someone to call Huang Jin as soon as he arrived.

"...What do you think about Yang Yingning's return to court?"

Zhu Si has now learned to use the factory guards to investigate the ministers' reactions to the situation in the DPRK and China, and he has done a good job. After a period of time, he has successfully developed many people into informants of the factory guards, and the factory guard system has become more complete.

It can be said that the extension of the factory guard's tentacles and the strengthening of its strength paved the way for Zhu Si's long-term slack in court affairs.

Even if a person is in the deep palace, he can keep abreast of the changes in the court situation. Zhu Si has long been tired of the process of going up and down every day, but now he has not recovered from the joy of being the emperor.

The daily court meeting does not mean that he really loves to go, because of his laziness, he has long wanted to leave these matters to others, which is why he has been advocating for Zhu Hao to join the cabinet.

In his opinion, with Zhu Hao helping him watch the court, he can do whatever he wants.

Huang Jin said: "Your Majesty, the ministers in the court have mixed opinions on the return of Yang Laobutang to the court. I heard that some scholars in the Imperial Academy talked about it. This is the liquidation of the old ministers in the Zhengde period."

"is it?"

Zhu Si smiled, "Very good."

As the emperor, the decision made can scare the ministers below, and in Zhu Si's view, it is considered a success.He has always wanted to find an opportunity to teach those Hanlin and officials who like to make trouble out of nothing, it would be great if Yang Yiqing could meet his needs.

Huang Jin said again: "However, among the six ministries, there is relatively little talk about the return of Yang Lao's hall to the court. They are more cautious, and few people will discuss this matter openly."

"Ah."

Zhu Si nodded again, "It's easy to understand, they are not like those Hanlin and Yushi Yanguan who are full and have nothing to do, they know better to complete the task at hand, while those Hanlin and Yushi Yanguan rely If you eat with your mouth, you will feel uncomfortable if you don’t express your opinions for a day.”

Zhang Zuo smiled wryly.

I was also thinking in my heart, are there people in this world who don't rely on their mouths to make a living?Officials have to rely on the cooperation of their brains and mouths to complete their errands. How can an official do errands?
Huang Jin said again: "As for Hanlin Zhang Xueshi, he didn't express any opinions to the outside world, but he once visited the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the two had a secret meeting alone, whether they were plotting this matter, or talked about something... The slaves don't know. know."

Zhu Si was a little displeased when he heard the words: "This Zhang Bingyong has a lot of things to do. Being a Hanlin scholar shows his existence when he has nothing to do. Doesn't it bother you?"

In words, Zhu Si was very angry with Zhang Cong's attitude.

Both Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin knew that although Zhang Cong was appreciated by the emperor, he was not a direct descendant of the Xing Palace after all. Once Zhang Cong was aggressive in his style, he would be disgusted by the emperor.

In history, the relationship between Zhang Cong and Zhu Houcong has not always been as sweet as honey. Once Zhang Cong and Gui E were dispatched to other places by Zhu Houcong.

Zhu Si looked at Zhang Zuo and said, "Didn't you tell him to warn him earlier and make him calm down? How did he answer?"

Zhang Zuo said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the old slave did remind him, but he...should have promised at that time."

"Should have promised?"

Zhu Si frowned.

Zhang Zuo thought about it, and said helplessly: "Later, he went to Xishan and seemed to have made peace with Mr. Zhu, but after returning to the capital, he did not see much respect for Mr. Zhu, but secretly contacted the courtiers, especially Mr. Zhu. The ministers involved in the deliberations often move around frequently."

"It seems that this person's heart is very wild and difficult to control." Zhu Si commented, "Unlike Jingdao, he doesn't want to do an errand for him, and I beg him every time."

Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin looked at each other, unable to tell whether the emperor liked Zhang Cong or Zhu Hao more.The attitude of the two towards being an official, one is cold and the other is hot, neither seems to be the type that the emperor is satisfied with. Perhaps in the emperor's view, the one who is cooler than Zhang Cong and warmer than Zhu Hao is the qualified candidate to be his confidant minister.

As people close to the emperor, the two eunuchs were always thinking about the emperor's mentality.

Zhang Zuo asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, should the old slave remind me...by the way?"

Now Zhang Zuo can also see that this little emperor attaches great importance to the means of being a king, and he wants to use all kinds of tricks to control his officials to make himself look younger and mature, just like a wise emperor who has been an emperor for decades.

But now Zhu Si does not have such a city and means.

Zhu Sidao: "Forget it, let him go, oh yes, what's Jingdao's opinion on this?"

Now Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin have to ponder again.

The emperor hated Zhang Cong's aggressiveness, and sent someone to remind him, but now that he learned that Zhang Cong had a bad relationship with Zhu Hao, and Zhang Cong was still very radical when he was an official, the emperor had no plans to beat him any further... ...Does this mean that the emperor is also intentionally cultivating a force that can stand up to Zhu Hao?

It cannot be said that the emperor has lost trust in Zhu Hao because of this, but that the emperor must do this, not only to pave the way for the king to rule the world, but also for the sake of Zhu Hao.

If Zhu Hao was the only one in the court, all the firepower would be aimed at Zhu Hao, and he might not be able to hold back.

Otherwise, why is Zhu Hao always running outside?

Wouldn't it be nice to stay in the capital and be at ease as the emperor's first aide?

Huang Jin replied: "At present, there is no definite information about Mr. Zhu's opinion on this matter, but Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu invited Mr. Zhu to come back to the capital for Mr. Yang's old hall. It stands to reason...he should know the pros and cons of this matter the most."

Zhu Si got up and said: "Actually, I don't quite understand. Although Yang Yingning is a veteran of the four dynasties, he is highly respected and supports the discussion of rituals, but do I need such a veteran to govern the world now? After the change of the Yuan Dynasty, there should be a new atmosphere. Why do we have to?" Using old people? These old people have always had a lot of things, one or two rely on the old to sell the old, relying on the merits of the past, pointing fingers at me."

Zhang Zuo tried to analyze: "Your Majesty, with these veterans in the court, people will be more at ease."

"I don't need peace of mind."

Zhu Sidao, "I will suppress anyone who opposes me, even if it is Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian, so what? Aren't they still driven away one by one by me?"

Zhang Zuo wanted to say, could it be that their departure was not due to your ingenious strategy, but because Zhu Hao forced them to the point where they had to retreat step by step?
Huang Jindao: "Your Majesty, there was a Jinyiwei Qianhu of the Zhu family... a man named Zhu Wanhong, who was Mr. Zhu's uncle, was also taken to Tianjin by Mr. Zhu this time, saying that he was going to lead troops to wipe out the southeast coast. Robbers... I don't know what Mr. Zhu means."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhu Si couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

this laugh...

Both Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin were a little confused by Monk Zhang Er.

Zhu Si smiled and said: "You don't know that, do you? Jingdao is the most annoying to his uncle, otherwise he would not have driven the Zhu family to Nanjing after I ascended the throne. Everyone in their family has problems , when he was in Anlu, he was in charge of monitoring Xingwang's mansion, if Jingdao and his mother hadn't tried their best to fight for it, maybe Jingdao would have been sent to learn martial arts by them early on, and he wouldn't even have the chance to be the champion."

Zhang Zuo wanted to say again, how could I not know about this?
Many things, I still do it myself.

No matter how stiff the relationship between that Mr. Zhu and the Zhu family is, time has passed and the family does not talk about the two. Who knows if he wants to cultivate the Zhu family to become his own power?

"I think it's a good idea for the Zhu family to exterminate the bandits. I will reward you for meritorious service. If you don't have credit...it's still the same, and I won't do anything to them!"

Although Zhu Si didn't have a good impression of the Zhu family, he didn't say that he wanted to kill them all.

Huang Jin said again: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei has read many past files, and learned that during the Hongzhi and Zhengde periods, the factory guards sent a large number of people to Anlu to secretly spy on the news in the Xingwang Mansion, and there were even spies and officials in the Xingwang Mansion. Fine work exists."

"Ah."

Zhu Si nodded, his face became serious.

Zhang Zuo quickly winked at Huang Jin, telling him to stop talking.

But Huang Jin is quite straightforward, and he wants to report to the emperor when he finds out: "The person in charge of the connection should be the Jinyiwei Qianhu Zhu family. From Zhu Mingshan to Zhu Wanhong, the two generations of Jinyiwei have done a lot of sorting and reporting. , involving all aspects of the palace..."

"Who is the secret agent hidden in the palace?"

Zhu Si asked suddenly.

Huang Jin wondered: "After the servants took charge of the East Factory, they discovered that someone had tampered with the file, and erased all the traces of identity that had been carefully worked in the Xingwang's mansion..."

Although Zhu Si didn't have any deep hatred towards Zhu Hao and the Zhu family, he would not tolerate the secret agents hidden in the Xing Wang's mansion, because these people were cheating on the inside and out, and now that he became the emperor, of course he would pick out these double-faced people. Then deal with it.

Of course, Zhu Hao had expected this to happen a long time ago, so he destroyed this part of the information in advance.

It's not to protect Lu Song alone, but to make the old members of King Xing's mansion not jealous of each other.

The emperor didn't have evidence, so he wouldn't ask this question any more.

"You have been in charge of the East Factory for several years, why did you only find out now?"

Zhu Si was very dissatisfied with this answer.

Huang Jin said: "Your Majesty, it was you who ordered you not to doubt the people around you as much as possible."

"That's what Jingdao told me."

Zhu Sidao, "Are you trying to gag me with my words?"

When Huang Jin heard it, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

"Ugh!"

Zhu Si sighed, and said: "Times have changed, I shouldn't have continued to investigate, but today is different, when I first became the throne, I wanted to be consistent with the outside world, and not to investigate the ghosts is to avoid panic, but now the outside can affect my There are almost no people left, and it's time to liquidate."

This was so clear that both Huang Jin and Zhang Zuo could understand it.

Once the external enemies are gone, only internal strife remains.

This is also the law in the field of power since ancient times...

Zhu Sidao: "It's a pity that Jing Dao is not in the capital, otherwise I would have him come to investigate. With his intelligence, it would be easy to find out the details of King Xing's mansion, or...in fact, he would have known about it a long time ago."

"His Majesty?"

Zhang Zuo was puzzled.

Zhu Si sighed: "Jing Dao doesn't want to stir up disputes, sometimes he is too kind!"
