Jinyi champion

Chapter 1037 The Fall
Tang Yin was critically ill and was often in a coma. Both the imperial physician and Zhu Hao had gone to see him, but there was no good way to deal with it.

Basically, it was certain that he would not survive for a day, so Zhu Hao specially wrote the above form to the emperor for the Tang family, which was tantamount to fighting for Tang Yin to return to Suzhou for burial.

Tang Yin's relatives had already set off from Jiangnan, and they should arrive in the capital in the next few days to attend Tang Yin's funeral.

Then Zhu Hao entered the palace to meet Zhu Si.

Zhu Si was very happy to see Zhu Hao at first, and probably wanted to tell Zhu Hao about his being a Hanlin scholar, but seeing Zhu Hao's serious expression, he didn't deliberately show a smile.

"...Mr. Tang's last wish is to send him back to Suzhou for burial. I beg for him. I hope that his posthumous son will receive the best education and have the opportunity to become an official in the court in the future." Zhu Hao said.

Zhu Si nodded: "This is what it should be, give his son a chancellor."

Zhang Zuo reminded: "Your Majesty, it may be a son or a daughter."

Zhu Sidao: "Then... if you give birth to a son, you will be a prison student. If you have a daughter...then there is no other way. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I have no suggestion."

"so be it."

Zhu Sidao, "Jingdao, you are now a Hanlin scholar, don't worry about so many bad things in the future, can you pay more attention to the government? I need your help."

Zhu Hao bowed and saluted: "I should do my best."

He only talked about his dedication, but not his hard work. Zhu Hao was obviously not willing to give Zhu Si any more hard work. The key is... being a minister, what's the point of being the chief minister of the cabinet?
After decades of hard work in the court, what can I get in exchange?
A reputation as a loyal minister?
Even if you become a general, become a prime minister, or even become the Duke of the state, or even go a little too far, become a king with a different surname, isn't that the case?Is it worth Zhu Hao's life to fight for?

"Your Majesty, I have a proposal. I wonder if you can agree to it?" Zhu Hao said.

"Go ahead."

Zhu Si looks very generous.

As long as you, Zhu Hao, don't mention leaving the capital, you can discuss anything.

Zhu Si wanted to tie Zhu Hao firmly to the capital, and Zhu Hao had already seen it. Although Zhu Si had a dream about some great voyage at first, it was just an unrealistic dream in his youth. Now Zhu Si To become an emperor, it would be difficult to take care of the current territory, let alone expand the territory?There was no intention of helping Zhu Hao realize his dream at all.

It can be said.

Now that the identities and status of the two are different from before, the way of getting along has to be changed.

It can be said that they were friends before, but now they are monarchs and ministers.

Zhu Si is more and more fond of treating Zhu Hao the way the emperor treats his courtiers, and wants to suppress Zhu Hao with majesty and let Zhu Hao act according to his ideas.

Zhu Si no longer considered what Zhu Hao needed.

It's just that the relationship between the two of them hasn't become tense yet, and on the surface they seem quite polite.

Zhu Hao said: "I want to go to Xishan and help His Majesty handle affairs there."

"no!"

Zhu Si directly refused, "If you stay in the capital, everything is easy to discuss. Don't even think about leaving the capital! I don't want to see you in any danger. If you stay in the capital, I can find you at any time! I won't force you to Going to court to participate in politics every day, or going to the Imperial Academy to sit on duty, what else do you want me to do?"

It is said that this treatment seems to be a great gift from him.

In fact, Zhu Hao felt that if he helped Zhu Si ascend the throne and solved the problems of Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, and even Da Liyi, then his mission to Zhu Si would be considered complete.

The early tasks of his own coming to this era, the examination of the number one scholar, and becoming a minister of power, have basically been completed now.

The only thing left is to realize his ambition. Obviously, Zhu Houcong will not only not help him, but will hold him back.

Zhu Haodao: "Your Majesty, please transfer the affairs of Xishan to the capital. I can solve various problems encountered in the development of Xishan, Tianjin, Yongping Prefecture and other places at home. Your Majesty, look..."

"alright."

Zhu Si looked very unhappy.

But this time he did not criticize Zhu Hao directly.

Because he knew that Zhu Hao's heart was not in the capital, and now it was tantamount to forcibly holding Zhu Hao in the capital. It was unrealistic for Zhu Hao to let go of everything related to the Ministry of Industry, and he could only make a compromise first.

"Your Majesty, I want to be in charge of Mr. Tang's funeral." Zhu Hao said.

Zhu Si did not hesitate this time, and nodded heavily: "As long as you have the energy, I will send someone to assist you."

Zhu Hao cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

……

……

This time when Zhu Hao entered the palace, his relationship with Zhu Sijian was no longer as close as before.

When we met before, although we didn't talk about everything, at least we didn't feel depressed. The two sides communicated in an atmosphere of friendly negotiation.

But now, the boundary between the monarch and his ministers has become more and more obvious. Even if there is room for tolerance, the hearts are not together at all.

Zhu Si has his own ideas, and Zhu Hao even wants to get out of the cage of the capital as soon as possible.

"Mr. Zhu, you are in the capital, do you need to transfer someone? And how do you need to set up this yamen?" Zhang Zuo asked with a smile when he sent Zhu Hao out of the palace.

Zhu Hao said: "I don't need to set up any special yamen, just work in the workshop. As for the personnel... help me transfer Lu Qianhu here. He has been traveling for many years and has worked hard. He can take a good rest when he returns to the capital. , and at the same time, it is more convenient for me to let him do things."

"it is good."

Zhang Zuo didn't think there was any problem.

In any case, Lu Song is a "loyal minister" of Prince Xing's mansion, and he has won the trust of the old King Xing and the current emperor. When he came back, he cooperated with the work, and at the same time, he could keep an eye on Zhu Hao and let the emperor know his every move. As far as Zuo's internal aspect is concerned, it couldn't be a better thing.

Zhang Zuo didn't mean to instigate the relationship between the emperor and Zhu Hao. He even felt that the emperor let Zhu Hao stay in the capital to pave the way for Zhu Hao to be the leader and assistant. Instead of having any quarrels between the emperor and his ministers, they worked together to solidify the foundation of the rule. At a critical moment, how could there be any disputes?

Zhang Zuo is very willing to work together with Zhu Hao to protect the safety of Daming Sheji.

But what he didn't know was that Zhu Hao was actually very eccentric, or in other words, Zhu Hao really wanted to get rid of this fixed life pattern and venture outside.

……

……

After dark.

When Zhu Hao arrived at the Tang Mansion, everyone in the Tang Manor was already preparing for the funeral.

Tang Yin was dying, and his good friend Wen Zhengming was in charge of receiving the relatives and friends attending the funeral. Tang Yin was easy-going by nature and made many friends. Most of them were scholars without official status, even if they were officials. , The official rank is usually not high.

High-ranking officials also look down on Tang Yin, a lucky minister from a wild background.

The Tang House did not shy away from others coming to express their condolences. For a while, there were many guests. In fact, most of them wanted to come and see for themselves whether the famous Tang Yin was really going to die, or if it was just a false alarm.

Zhu Hao's arrival somewhat caused a commotion.

After all, Zhu Hao is already a Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, the dignified head of the Hanlin Academy, and has the highest status among the visiting guests, but Zhu Hao has no intention of socializing with anyone. When he entered the inner courtyard, he saw Tang Yin with a sallow complexion on the bed, and stepped forward. I felt the pulse, but it was intermittent.

Mrs. Tang walked over, her eyes were red, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. After saluting, she choked up and asked, "I don't know...my husband...is there any help?"

Tang Xiaojiao's wife obviously didn't want to accept the reality that her husband was about to die, and always felt that Zhu Hao had the ability to bring the dead back to life.

Zhu Hao sighed and shook his head: "Let the front yard get ready."

Wen Zhengming, who followed Zhu Hao into the room, approached and asked, "Don't try again? Aren't you still angry?"

Obviously, Zhu Hao had nothing to do with it.

Powerless.

While talking, a group of people came in, it was Jin Yiwei.

The leaders were Luo An and Lu Song who had just returned to the capital. After the two came in, the rest retreated outside the door knowingly.

Luo An leaned closer and whispered something in Zhu Hao's ear.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Let her in."

Afterwards, Lu Song went out, welcomed a tightly wrapped woman into the Tang mansion through the back door, and walked all the way to Tang Yin's sick bed.

When someone came to take off the cloak, it was Lou Suzhen who had been refusing to appear in front of Tang Yin before.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, he kept talking about not seeing each other until he died, and now you will soon separate Yin and Yang forever, even if Tang Yin has his last breath left, what can he do?
Zhu Hao was not surprised by Lou Suzhen's appearance, even Luo An and Lu Song were not surprised.

Because everyone felt that the relationship between Lou Suzhen and Tang Yin was so close, it was a pity that they didn't become a husband and wife, they couldn't be best friends for a lifetime, and they couldn't see each other until they died, right?

It's just that because Tang Yin has already married a wife, many things are inconvenient.

Lou Suzhen didn't say anything, didn't even salute Zhu Hao and others, walked to the side of the bed, looked at the dying Tang Yin on the bed, and said: "I didn't come to see you, but I hope you can hang on and live a few more days. Without hope, there is no difference between seeing and not seeing."

It was like a dying farewell.

The words are very simple.

Tang Yin on the bed seemed to have been inspired by something, after being in a coma for two days and one night, he suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes are wide open, but there is no brilliance in his eyes anymore, as if he wants to see the last scenery of this world before leaving, and at the same time, he wants to take another look at the person he misses when he bids farewell to the world.

It's a pity that it was only for a short while, and then Tang Yin closed his eyes, without any anger on his face.

Zhu Hao walked over, felt his pulse, and nodded to Luo An and Lu Song.

meaning is.

The funeral can begin.

……

……

When Lu Song passed the news to the courtyard outside, there was the sound of crying.

Lou Suzhen just put on the cloak again, looked at the passing Tang Yin with mournful eyes, and then glanced at Zhu Hao, then walked out of the room under Luo An's guidance.

From the beginning to the end, except for the three of Zhu Hao and Tang Yin before his death, no one knew about Lou Suzhen's visit.

At this time, the crying outside became louder and louder, and when they finally joined together, Zhu Hao knew that after ten years of hard work, he tried his best to change a person, but he still couldn't escape his fate in the end!
Even though he has put in his best effort in the past ten years, he has made a good relationship with Tang Yin, and used all kinds of advanced medical methods, but he is still powerless to recover.

"Old Tang! Your time is over!

"My era has not yet arrived, and it is the darkest hour before dawn. You are too hasty to see the dawn scene I described with your own eyes, so naturally you have no chance to witness the changes of this era!

"You think I didn't do anything, but in fact... I have followed my inner guidance and tried my best! I believe that the world will be turned upside down soon!"
