Jinyi champion

Chapter 1045

Zhu Si and Zhu Hao had the biggest conflict since they knew each other.

It's not so irreconcilable, because now Zhu Si hasn't said that he can get rid of Zhu Hao and do it himself. He still has to worry about the problem of his throne being wrong. end.

"Mr. Zhu, His Majesty just wants you to stay away from the disputes in the court, so don't take it to heart."

Huang Jin was in charge of sending a message to Zhu Hao, and at the same time informed Zhu Hao that Zhang Cong was about to return to Beijing and become a Hanlin scholar again.

Zhu Hao didn't seem to be surprised by this.

"If you have any comments, you can directly submit the memorial, Dongchang will submit the memorial for you, and you don't have to shut it to the cabinet." Huang Jin meant that even if you are a little stiff with the emperor now, you can still do anything. Play directly without any worries.

Dongchang can present memorials for you.

Zhu Hao nodded with a smile: "No need, I also want to be quiet for a few days recently. Speaking of which, I have always thought of practicing in Taoist temples."

"Taoist temple?"

Huang Jin was startled for a moment, then seemed to think of something.

Hasn't Zhu San always been a nun in a Taoist temple?
Could it be that there is something unspeakable between Zhu Hao and that eldest princess?
No matter what, Huang Jin couldn't ask too much. If it was true, if there was any relationship between Zhu Hao and Zhu San, if the news got out, the royal family's face would be damaged.

Even if he knew, he could only pretend not to know.

……

……

The news that Zhang Cong was going back to the capital did not cause much disturbance in the officialdom, but in the Imperial Academy, almost everyone was talking about it.

Recently, Xu Jie has just been supported by Zhu Hao, and he has become a servant of the Imperial Academy.

Originally, Zhu Hao didn't plan to promote him, but Zhu Si seemed to be very concerned about cultivating some party members for Zhu Hao, so he took the initiative to promote Xu Jie. That is gratitude from the heart.

Xu Jie didn't follow the promotion route that Zhu Hao had planned for Xu Jie before, but now he was taken care of by Zhu Hao and became a scholar in the Imperial Academy.

Many people are jealous of him.

That day Liu Chun went to the Hanlin Academy and specially met with Xu Jie. Before leaving, he went to Yang Yiqing's residence. After the two sat down, Liu Chun talked about the emperor's transfer of Zhang Cong back to Beijing: "...Your Majesty It is true that the cabinet has been greeted, but it is only a notice; as for the official department, I don’t know what happened. Ying Ning, don’t think too much about it.”

In terms of qualifications and age, Liu Chun is not as good as Yang Yiqing.

A person like Liu Chun is already regarded as an absolute senior minister in the court, but in front of Yang Yiqing, he still looks like a schoolboy.

Yang Yiqing waved his hand: "No problem."

It seems that Yang Yiqing didn't have much fear of Zhang Cong. After all, he was driven away casually by Zhu Hao, and he could only return to court when Zhu Si and Zhu Hao had an ideological dispute. How much threat could it pose to him?
"Renzhong, there is one thing that I have been unable to understand. How did His Majesty get along with Jingdao?"

Yang Yiqing couldn't figure out why Zhu Hao insisted on going his own way this time, as if Zhu Hao could completely avoid getting involved in this kind of matter. If he didn't mention it himself, even if others had opinions on him, they would let it go because of the emperor's protection.

But Zhu Hao obviously jumped into the fire pit.

Liu Chun smiled and shook his head.

This move meant that he didn't want to explain to Yang Yiqing, and it could also be understood that he didn't know about it.

Yang Yiqing said: "I heard that Jing Dao was born in Xing Wang's Mansion, but he was born in Jin Yiwei. He grew up with His Majesty, and there may be friendship beyond the monarch and his ministers. Renzhong, you are inseparable from like-minded people. You should know much about Jing Dao, right?"

"really do not know."

Liu Chun said with a wry smile, "Many things have to be understood by oneself, but His Majesty respects Jingdao very much. When I was young..."

He will only say what he can say, and he will not take the initiative to mention what he cannot say.

Yang Yiqing nodded.

Liu Chun was about to leave, when someone came to report: "Mr. Liu Ge, Yang Butang, and the car of Eunuch Zhang, who is in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, has arrived at the gate of the Imperial Academy."

Yang Yiqing took a look at Liu Chun, probably saying, did he come here on a date with you?
Liu Chun shook his head blankly, as if he didn't understand why Zhang Zuo came at this time.

……

……

In front of the gate of the Imperial Academy, Yang Yiqing and Liu Chun brought a few people out to welcome them.

Zhang Zuo came to the Imperial Academy many times, and seeing this scene suddenly, he was a little uncomfortable for a while, when had he received such courtesy before?
"A few..."

Zhang Zuo originally came to talk to Yang Yiqing, and was about to leave after speaking, but he never expected so many people to be there.

It's hard for him to say anything.

Liu Chun smiled and said, "I'm going back to the cabinet, so I won't bother you much."

Liu Chun bid farewell to the people behind him, and many colleagues from the Imperial Academy who followed him also went back to their rooms.

When the people had dispersed, Zhang Zuo didn't enter the door, but called Yang Yiqing aside, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty ordered Gui E to be the scholar of the Imperial Academy, in charge of the ceremony."

Yang Yiqing's expression didn't change.

Zhang Cong returned to the Hanlin Academy as a Hanlin Bachelor, Yang Yiqing could figure this out, after all Zhang Cong was originally a Hanlin Bachelor and was pushed out by Zhu Hao.

But what is the meaning of letting Gui E be a Hanlin scholar and also preside over the ceremony?
I, Yang Yiqing, am about to relinquish my position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and only become a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. As a result, three people came to compete with me for the post. So who is the master of the Imperial Academy?
Giving me a Hanlin bachelor means putting me aside and not letting go of real power?

Yang Yiqing asked: "The position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials..."

Zhang Zuo smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty has never mentioned this, and it will probably be decided after the court postpones it."

The implication is that you, Yang Yiqing, still have to hand over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. As for who to give it to, we will discuss it later.

Yang Yiqing suddenly understood that it didn't seem easy to use his influence to change the structure of the Ming court.

First of all, the emperor refused to delegate power.

"Our family just came to remind you, so we're leaving now." After Zhang Zuo finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave in a carriage.

Yang Yiqing chased after him and asked, "Will Eunuch Zhang go to see Zhu Jingdao in the near future?"

"what?"

Zhang Zuo looked back suddenly, not understanding what Yang Yiqing meant by this.

Yang Yiqing said: "I have something I want to bring to him, but I can't go there in person. I wonder if Eunuch Zhang can make it easier for me to send a message?"

Zhang Zuo wanted to say, I can't see Zhu Hao recently, but he really wanted to know what Yang Yiqing was going to tell Zhu Hao.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Zuocai said, "Scholar Yang, please tell me."

Yang Yiqing said: "I want to tell him that a Hanlin bachelor is not suitable for him, he should take the initiative to resign, or serve as a minister in the Six Departments, or go to a local governor, which will help him experience more and prepare for his future entry into the court. The pillars and beams lay a solid foundation."

"Ha ha."

Zhang Zuo thought to himself, is this what you want to tell Zhu Hao?

It seems that you still don't know the young gentleman of the Zhu family. Even though Zhu Hao is young, his knowledge may not be worse than yours, Yang Yingning. He has more experience... Why don't you tell the emperor directly?You also said that you asked me to convey, in fact, you want to use my mouth to tell His Majesty what you think?

Zhang Zuo started again without saying whether he would convey the words to Zhu Hao, because he understood that Yang Yiqing's words didn't sound like he was speaking to Zhu Hao at all.

Then Zhang Zuo got into the carriage and left.

……

……

"Jingdao went to the Taoist temple? The surname Yang said that Jingdao should leave Beijing and go to a local governor? What do they think?"

Zhu Si got a message from Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin respectively.

With his brain on his head, he couldn't figure out what purpose Zhu Hao and Yang Yiqing had.

Zhang Zuo said: "Your Majesty, from the point of view of this old slave, Xueshi Yang wants to tell His Majesty that the current situation will arise if Mr. Zhu is used too early. as an outlier."

Zhu Si sneered endlessly: "That Zhang Cong is not a different kind?"

Zhang Zuo said helplessly: "After all, Xueshi Zhang's age is there. In the eyes of outsiders, his knowledge and qualifications will be higher, but Mr. Zhu is different after all."

Zhu Sidao: "I am also a young man, so they will also think that I am not qualified to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty, right? Young people can't manage the government well?"

Zhang Zuo originally wanted to help the emperor understand Yang Yiqing's intentions, but he didn't expect to arouse Zhu Si's inferiority complex and blind self-confidence.

"Has Miss Huang returned to the capital?"

Zhu Si suddenly thought of something and asked.

Huang Jin shook his head: "No."

"Then why go to the Taoist temple to respect the Tao? Besides, he has always kept his distance from the imperial sister. Does he also want to be a Taoist priest now?"

Zhu Si couldn't help thinking about it.

Zhang Zuo seemed to have thought of something, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that before you ascended the throne, Mr. Zhu had a lot of his own views on the overall situation of the world, and sometimes some prophecies seem to have peeped into the sky. Will it ..."

Zhu Simeng took a deep breath and nodded again and again: "It's the extreme, the truth must be so! It is said that there is a mysterious master in Jingdao, who looks like a half-immortal, who knows 500 years before and 500 years after. Only by cultivating strange people can we cultivate such an awesome disciple as Jing Dao!"

For a while, Zhu Si, Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin all wanted to understand why Zhu Hao went to the Taoist temple to practice.

It turned out that Zhu Hao wanted to return to what he was supposed to do.

Huang Jin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, did the expert behind Mr. Zhu remind him not to occupy a high position in the court for the time being?"

"Ah."

Zhu Si didn't say anything, but simply responded.

Zhang Zuo also said: "That makes sense... It is clear that Mr. Zhu has gained the absolute trust of His Majesty, and he has the opportunity to help His Majesty help the country, and even take the position of Chancellor, but he is resolutely unwilling to take it. Probably because of his behind-the-scenes Some people point out, or Mr. Zhu has not yet completed the task of carrying the destiny on his body."

Zhu Sidao: "If that's the case, then I misunderstood him. He must have spied on the future of Ming Dynasty and wants to change something in his own way."

Originally, no one wanted to resolve the conflict between Zhu Si and Zhu Hao, but because Zhu Hao said that he would go to a Taoist temple to practice, everything disappeared invisible.

Zhang Zuo said: "Your Majesty, how should we arrange it?"

"He wants to go to the Taoist temple, so go."

Zhu Sidao, "It would be even better if he could find a elixir of immortality for me."

Zhang Zuo was very happy at first, but after hearing Zhu Si's words, he was speechless again.

What is this little emperor thinking about all day long?
Why do you suddenly want to live forever?
