Jinyi champion

Chapter 1038

Tang Yin died of illness as the current cabinet scholar, which means he died in office.

The imperial court attached great importance to this and appointed the Minister of Funeral. Zhu Hao was supposed to be in charge, but Zhu Si was afraid that Zhu Hao would take advantage of Tang Yin's death to take care of some non-official matters, so he specially asked Jin Yiwei to help complete the funeral and other matters, and transport Tang Yin's coffin Back to Suzhou for burial.

Zhang Zuo went out of the palace on behalf of the emperor, went to the Tang Mansion to express his condolences, and explained the situation to Zhu Hao alone.

"...His Majesty knows that Mr. Tang likes peach blossoms the most in his life, so he specially asked someone to buy a hill in the land of Gusu, and plant peach blossom trees on them. If it is too late, they can be transplanted from other places. It is a peach blossom tree, and the peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains will be in full bloom next spring."

Zhu Si had fulfilled Tang Yin's last wish.

Zhu Hao didn't think much about it.

Tang Yin liked peach blossoms very much when he was alive, but it is best to return to peace after death. As for the grave... It is better to plant pine trees. Peach blossom trees are obviously flashy. In spring, I don’t know how many people who come to visit the green will be attracted, lying in the grave There can't be peace in the middle, and after a few decades, the peach blossom trees will age and die one after another, and then I don't know what the mess will be.

However, since Zhu Si planned it intentionally, Zhu Hao had no choice but to express his gratitude to the emperor on behalf of Tang Yin.

"Mr. Zhu, don't be too sad. Take care of your health first. State affairs are important."

Zhang Zuo thought that Zhu Hao would be distraught because of Tang Yin's death, but Zhu Hao was not too sad, he just felt regretful, as a witness of history, he felt some things with his own personal experience, and more sighed , who really made him cry for someone, it was really unnecessary.

But there was still some disappointment in his heart. This was an old friend who had been with him for ten years, and passed away right in front of his eyes. No matter how familiar Zhu Hao was, this was a historical inevitability, but people were not grass and trees.

Zhu Hao sighed, shook his head and said, "One life, one autumn, I have seen many things about Mr. Tang, thank you, Eunuch Zhang, for reminding me."

"Yes, my condolences."

Because Tang Yin didn't even have a son, he could only rely on Tang Yin's younger brother to help with the funeral. Originally, he wanted to adopt the child under Tang Yin's name, but Tang Yin still had a posthumous child, and he didn't know whether it would be a son or a daughter in the future.

Perhaps even the matter of adoption will have to be decided after Tang Yin's widow gives birth, and it seems that there is probably less than three months left.

……

……

For several days, Zhu Hao stayed at Tang Yin's residence and didn't even return home.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Hao is a student who is doing his best, but in fact he is just hiding for a while.

Although there were a lot of quarrels with Tang Yin among the ministers of the DPRK and China, most of them who should offer their condolences came, and naturally they saw the new Hanlin scholar Zhu Hao.

The other Hanlin Bachelor has not been implemented yet. Gui E is about to return to the capital, but his position has not changed. Ask Fang Xianfu to express his condolences to Tang Yin while expressing his condolences.

Probably Gui E also knew that Huo Tao and Zhang Cong were bound too deeply before, if Huo Tao were to come to see Zhu Hao, the conflict would definitely be intensified.

That's why Gui E invited Fang Xianfu to come.

"...As for who should be a Hanlin Bachelor, I have actually suggested to His Majesty that it is Zishi. His Majesty has also mentioned it in court. However, due to the funeral of Mr. Tang in recent days, many things may have to be postponed. Let Zishi be patient first. Wait. It's not up to me to decide what to do."

In fact, Zhu Hao was considered polite, he clearly stated in his words that he would support Gui E, and did not suppress Gui E because of his close relationship with Zhang Cong.

Fang Xianfu sighed: "I don't dare to ask how the imperial court arranges, but I just came to ask Xueshi Zhu for Zishi."

Zhu Hao said: "It's nothing. If you want to know, just ask. I don't want to ask about the Imperial Academy, but I am willing to answer questions. Including the recent promotion of a few people in the Imperial Academy by His Majesty... It's all It's no secret, but I don't really want to be a part of it."

Although Zhu Hao is now the head of the Imperial Academy, he said that he would not interfere with the personnel affairs of the Imperial Academy, which was somewhat contradictory. Fang Xianfu, as a member of the Yili School, naturally wanted to be promoted, but he was not in the same mood as Gui E is so urgent, and now Gui E is not very good at expressing his inclination, if he falls directly to Zhu Hao's side, it will be tantamount to breaking Zhang Cong's heart.

This group of people all gained momentum by making friends with Zhang Cong.

If they knew that Zhang Cong was actually working for Zhu Hao at that time, maybe they would not be so deeply bound to Zhang Cong.

If they defected now, who would think highly of them?

"I will tell you as much as I can, and I can't mention what I can't. I will keep vigil here today. Please go back first."

Zhu Hao was very polite to the other party's husband.

Before these people entered the court, they would never have thought of the value and significance of Zhu Hao being by the emperor's side. Now Zhu Hao only met them because they belonged to the Yili sect. Fang Xianfu also understood that Zhu Hao seemed to have a deep grudge against him.

Alas, it's all Zhang Cong's fault.

By the way, you, Zhang Cong, are fine, why did you provoke Zhu Hao?
Is it an opponent of the same level?

How dare you make a move so easily?
……

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Si hadn't seen Zhu Hao in the past few days, and he also wanted to go to the Tang Mansion to express his condolences, but he knew it would be inconvenient.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has sent someone to the Tang Manor to send her condolences. I heard that Uncle Yutian in Anlu also wants to return to the capital..." Zhang Zuo said.

Zhu Sidao: "Uncle is in Huguang, how could he know the news of Mr. Tang's death so quickly?"

Zhang Zuo reminded: "Your Majesty, the news of Mr. Tang's death has been spread to various places a few days ago. Perhaps Uncle Yutian guessed something, so he wanted to come back to Beijing."

Zhu Si said impatiently: "He hasn't finished the errands assigned to him, so why come back in a hurry? Give him an edict to let him stay in Anlu to work with peace of mind. Has the Xingwang Mansion been repaired? The mausoleum of the emperor has been strengthened." ? Added what I want? He is doing things for me, so he can't just leave."

"Yes!"

Zhang Zuo felt that Zhu Si was a little unreasonable.

Everyone knows that Jiang Lun and Tang Yin have a close relationship. Tang Yin and Zhu Hao are close friends, and Jiang Lun is a peer friendship, or a close friend at the wine table.

Jiang Lun couldn't even come back to see Tang Yin... That's true, the last time we met was a farewell.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu has been staying in the Tang Manor and refused to leave no matter what."

Zhang Zuo brought another message to Zhu Si.

Zhu Si had expected this for a long time.

"Jing Dao has a close relationship with Mr., and is also a teacher and friend. I can understand Jing Dao's grief, so let him stay there." Zhu Sidao.

Zhang Zuo wanted to remind him how sad he seemed to be without seeing that Mr. Zhu, would he take the opportunity to do something there?But thinking about it again, there was already a rift between the monarch and his ministers, why would he say this when he has nothing to do?

Zhu Hao stayed in the Tang Mansion, not in Xishan or Tianjin. There was no army around him, and Luo An and others would come in and out at any time to help take care of him and take care of him. So there was no need to worry?

Zhang Zuo stopped being that villain.

……

……

At the end of the day, more and more people went to the Tang Mansion to express their condolences.

In the end, even Fei Hong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, appeared in the Tang residence, and four of the six ministers went.

But Yang Yiqing, the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials, because he has no friendship with Tang Yin, and Yang Yiqing seems to be very opposed to the emperor's valuing of people outside the system... The main reason is that Tang Yin entered the cabinet as a man, which is very bad in the Jiajing Dynasty. so that Yang Yiqing did not go to condolences.

Yang Yiqing even publicly mentioned to others that it was inconvenient to go there, which clearly meant that he looked down on Tang Yin.

No one has a problem with Yang Yiqing.

It is a kind of appreciation and etiquette for you to go, and it seems that there is no problem if you don't go, it doesn't matter if you go or not.

Counting on a veteran of the four dynasties like Yang Yiqing, admiring that Tang Yin spent his whole life wandering, and only made a fortune by befriending the emperor a few years before his death, what qualifications do you Tang Yin have?
Among the six ministers, another person who has never shown up in the Tang residence is Huang Zan, the minister of the household department who has a certain friendship with Tang Yin.

In the eyes of outsiders, Huang Zan was promoted by the emperor. Like Tang Yin, he belonged to the school of rites. It would be strange if he didn't go. Could it be that you, Huang Zan, are planning to break away from the control of the new emperor and set up your own family?Or are you ready to retire?
Recently, Huang Zan has indeed been running around to become an official.

Huang Zan didn't want to retreat.

He felt that he still had the strength to stay in the DPRK and do business.

But he also has reasons for not coming to visit Tang Yin...to avoid suspicion.

Recently, Huang Zan and Yang Yiqing got very close. He visited Yang Yiqing directly on many things and asked Yang Yiqing's opinions. For a rank, if the Minister of the Ministry of Households wants to be promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it is generally the Minister of the Ministry of War first, and then the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

But Huang Zan had never been a minister of the Ministry of War. He said that he had the opportunity to be promoted to the minister of the Ministry of officials. He probably only succeeded through Yang Yiqing's appreciation and promotion.

"Mr. Zhu, recently Huang Butang seems to be very keen to contact some old colleagues of the Imperial Academy, and seems to intend to let Yang Butang join the cabinet."

These words were mentioned to Zhu Hao by Admiral Huang Jin of Dongchang who came to deliver sacrifices.

Dongchang knew almost everything about the movements of the ministers in the DPRK and China.

Huang Zan got close to Yang Yiqing, and even the emperor's mood fluctuated a little. He felt that Huang Zan was suspected of "eating inside and out", and that he went around to join the cabinet for Yang Yiqing, which was obviously beyond the current emperor's desire to add another cabinet. The original intention of the minister.

Huang Jin conveyed Huang Zan's movements, which meant asking Zhu Hao for instructions on countermeasures.

Perhaps Zhu Si is not sure whether it is necessary to curb Huang Zan's tendency now.

Zhu Hao said: "Huang Butang's actions should not exceed the duty of a courtier, right?"

"Then...of course not."

Huang Jin didn't know why Zhu Hao asked such a question. This statement... could easily lead to ambiguity!
But after thinking about it, Huang Zan did not do anything out of the ordinary.

"Then leave it to him."

Zhu Haodao, "Your Majesty is probably also a little annoyed by Yang Butang's many things to criticize the government when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. , maybe the right to speak is not as great as it is today!"

Huang Jin was startled for a moment, then seemed to understand something, with a happy face, got up and saluted, and then left.
