Jinyi champion

Chapter 1058

Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin returned to the Sili Supervisor's office.

Huang Jin asked: "Eunuch Zhang, do you think it is necessary to inform Mr. Zhu to leave for Beijing earlier? If this continues, I am afraid that he will go to sea by boat...

"Well, it seems that Mr. Zhu is very keen on overseas affairs. I heard that the ships sent to Nanyang will leave soon. Maybe this time Mr. Zhu will go with them."

As the owner of Dongchang, Huang Jin is always a bit at a loss when facing Zhu Hao's problems, and has no way to deal with it.

On the one hand, the emperor wanted Zhu Hao to stay in the capital honestly, helping to deal with the government affairs, and at the same time give advice on some important matters; on the other hand, he did not allow Dongchang and Jinyiwei to use any coercive means.

Now that Zhu Hao is out of town, there is no way to persuade him.

Zhang Zuo shook his head helplessly: "I can't stop it."

The implication is, don't try to persuade, now Zhu Hao and the emperor are both stubborn, and the nine-headed bull can't turn back. It's useless to rely on us to mediate.

Unless one of them hits the south wall, they will wake up and get back together.

"If it's really unstoppable, if His Majesty asks us for someone..."

What Huang Jin was most afraid of was that when Zhu Hao really went to sea, the emperor couldn't find anyone, so he asked them to ask for it, or blamed them for not keeping an eye on Zhu Hao.

Zhang Zuo glared at Huang Jin, and said: "What did you want to come here for something that didn't happen? Life is inconvenient in a place where people drink blood and blood, do you think everyone likes to stay there? Just do your own errands! Don't ask about everything." Our family, our family also obeys orders, what is the difference between you and me?"

Zhang Zuo was angry because there was no solution to this problem.

Even the emperor can't help it. Do you, Huang Jin, take me, Zhang, too seriously?
In the past, when we encountered any troubles that were difficult to solve, we asked Zhu Hao to come forward to settle the matter. Now that the problem has become Zhu Hao, who should we turn to?

You can't ask the courtiers about such confidential matters, right?

Among the ministers of military and military affairs of the DPRK, who hoped that Zhu Hao would return to Beijing as soon as possible?

"Yes."

Facing Zhang Zuo who was about to get angry, Huang Jin could only bow his head in response.

But I was thinking in my heart, this job is getting harder and harder to do.

……

……

The news about Zhu Hao's going to sea was still a secret in the court. What the courtiers knew was that Zhu Hao had gone to Nanjing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and there might be some secret missions involving Jinghai.

As for shipbuilding, the ministers didn't think it was an important job. They probably thought that Zhu Hao was sent by the emperor to Nanjing for gilding. Pavilion, disrupting the political environment of the Ming Dynasty.

This day will be.

For some unknown reason, a spokesperson suddenly came forward and mentioned that Zhu Hao had not fulfilled the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce after he arrived in Nanjing.

The emperor was already preparing to end the court meeting and leave Fengtian Hall, but when he heard this, he sat back suddenly and stared at the civil servants under the imperial steps.

During this period of time, the ministers have faintly felt that this young emperor has no intention of going to court, or that the emperor has gradually become lazy now, and likes to leave everything to the ministers, but uses various unconventional means to hide behind the scenes and pull the thread , Playing ministers as puppets.

On the matter of employing personnel in the imperial court, it seemed that only Zhu Hao's matter could make the emperor so cautious.

Zhu Si said with a straight face: "Zhu Jingdao is going to the south. I have called you in advance. The so-called Nanjing Ministry of Industry is just a temporary errand entrusted to him. He didn't have to sit in Nanjing all the time... As for the Nanjing Ministry of Industry Can the business be completed without him?"

At this time, there were still people impeaching Zhu Hao, but Zhu Si couldn't figure it out no matter what.

Everyone has already gone to the south, so it doesn't bother you old guys, why are you still chasing and beating and chattering endlessly?
Fei Hong came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if the Nanjing Ministry of Industry has something to make a decision, or if something goes wrong, should the minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry be responsible instead of the Minister?"

It is Zhu Hao who does not seek his own government in his position.

In the past, when you were in the capital, if anything happened, you could report it to the emperor at any time, or we ministers would help the emperor solve your problems, but not in Nanjing.

Nanjing has its own administrative team, and many things need to be decided by themselves and reported...

Although Nanjing may not have a big deal, especially the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, it is only responsible for the construction and construction of river defense projects in various places in South Zhili.

But even so, court officials took it for granted that these were major events.

It is to serve the imperial court, no matter how big or small.

There must always be someone who is in front of you as the speaker, and you also need to come out and take the blame when you encounter trouble.

Zhu Si sneered, and asked: "It's okay to let Zhu Hao take the responsibility if something goes wrong, but please wait until something really happens!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor ignored these unreasonable ministers and walked straight away.

The minister wanted to salute him, but he didn't have a chance. When he looked up, the emperor disappeared.

……

……

After the court was over, the ministers didn't have any private discussions, and they all walked out of the palace with their heads sullen.

Huang Zan hurried over to find Fei Hong. He wanted to inquire about his transfer to the Ministry of Officials... He had already handed over 6 taels of silver, of which 3 taels came from the Beijing Reserve, and the other 3 taels He paid out of his own pocket, and the emperor said that he would be given the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but so far there has been no news.

The emperor was just begging for the money to sell the official title, but he was procrastinating but doing nothing, which made Huang Zan very headache.

Right now, I can only take advantage of an occasional court meeting to meet Fei Hong, the chief assistant, and ask about the progress of the matter. After all, as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he can't just ask Fei Hong to see him casually, otherwise he may make outsiders gossip.

In order to become the head of the six official ministers, Huang Zan has always paid attention to his words and deeds. Now he has followed the rules and behaved without any chaos.

"Gongxian, are you asking about the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials? Recently, I heard that Minister Shi wrote his resignation, but His Majesty did not approve, and the court is as calm as a pool of stagnant water... Do you have any misunderstanding?"

Although Fei Hong didn't know that Huang Zan donated money to buy an official, he vaguely knew what price Huang Zan must have paid, and maybe some internal officials had promised him something. Things are so certain.

Shi Pang was transferred from the cabinet to become Minister of the Ministry of Officials. It hasn't been long before, so he just let it go. Is it a bit too sorry for Shi Ping who has worked hard for the court for so many years?
"Ugh!"

Huang Zan sighed heavily, and said, "This old man is dying, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in court for a long time. He used to beg for his old age to return to his hometown and take care of his old age, but he still has a trace of regret in his heart."

Liu Chun on the side smiled and joked: "Looking at your rosy face, you are in good spirits. If you work for the court for another three to five years, you should have no problems. Recently, the household department has become in order after you take care of it. The cabinet feels a lot easier, and you deserve the most credit."

Liu Chun has been in charge of connecting with the household department.

After Huang Zan became Minister of the Household Department, Liu Chun's errands became a lot easier, because Huang Zan had excellent talent in managing money and grain, and the work of the Household Department improved significantly, and Huang Zan was also involved in reforms such as the salt tax in the court. Push forward methodically.

Many of the officials in the household department system, and even the main officials of the provincial chief envoys, have a deep friendship with Huang Zan. It can be said that Huang Zan is the guarantee for the normal financial operation of the Ming Dynasty's household department and even the imperial court.

It really won't work if someone else comes.

Huang Zan frowned, he understood Liu Chun's meaning.

Since you have done a good job in the Ministry of Households, why are you in a hurry to become the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?

They are all ministers, although the Minister of the Ministry of Officials sounds good, but the official rank of the Minister of the Ministry of Households is the same as yours, and you are still in charge of the crucial money bag, why do you have to be persistent?
Of course Huang Zan is not reconciled to just being a minister of the household department, isn't it tiring to take care of money and food for the court?
How cool is it to manage personnel?

You can dispatch them however you want. Which government office needs to arrange people, or what vacancies appear in places, nominally it is determined by evaluation, but the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has a lot of discretionary power. Isn't it delicious to promote your old students more often?

"I just want to serve the court more!" Huang Zan said.

Fei Hong looked around, but saw that Jia Yong and Yang Yiqing had gone to the cabinet to check in. He couldn't help reminding in a low voice: "We should ask His Majesty about this matter, or find an internal official. Please forgive me for being helpless!"

After finishing speaking, Fei Hong ignored Huang Zan's questioning and went to chase the two colleagues together with Liu Chun.

……

……

Huang Zan felt that Zhu Hao's departure had a huge impact on him.

He wanted to ask the emperor what he meant, but he couldn't find anyone. Finally, in desperation, Huang Zan had no choice but to ask Zhang Cong for help.

He didn't count on Yang Yiqing. Although Yang Yiqing vacated the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he didn't let him take over, and there were many methods, so Huang Zan could see that Yang Yiqing didn't really help.

That being the case, he might as well ask Zhang Cong as a minister of etiquette.

Huang Zan also felt a little ashamed.

Obviously relying on Zhu Hao's relationship before, he climbed faster than Zhang Cong, but now he has to rely on Zhang Cong to help make peace when encountering things... But who made Zhang Cong and Zhang Zuo have close contacts, after all, it involves imperial edicts and other matters , how often will they meet?
Moreover, Huang Zan knew that he was very unsuitable to meet Zhang Zuo, or that he had no chance to meet him, so he could only ask Zhang Cong to help him by the way.

Zhang Cong saw Huang Zan in the temporary residence arranged for him by the emperor, and was surprised after hearing Huang Zan's explanation of his visit.

"Huang Butang, you have a high position and authority, and now you have to ask me about something?"

Zhang Cong couldn't help being sarcastic.

When you, Huang Zan, and Zhu Hao worked hand in hand, did you ever think about my feelings?

I was wholeheartedly waiting to become a Hanlin bachelor, but you directly pushed my position down. At first, I was only given as a Hanlin servant. I will always remember this grudge.

I got along with you before, and I tried my best to curry favor with you.

In the end, you are fine, you quit the cabinet scholar, and come back to be the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs. Now you know the difference between the cabinet minister and the minister?
Huang Zan said: "Then... Bingyong, would you be willing to help talk to Eunuch Zhang?"

"Okay."

Zhang Cong did not refuse. For him, it was just a matter of asking Zhang Zuo next time he met, "But, Huang Butang, to put it bluntly, since His Majesty has arranged for Shi Butang to stay as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, There must be a reason. If you are anxious to replace him, you should talk to Shibutang and ask him to submit another memorial to resign."

Huang Zan frowned.

I'm going to tell Shi Jing, get out of here quickly and give me the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials?
Who has the nerve to say such hurtful words?

Do you dare to change Zhang Cong?

Zhang Cong said with a smile: "If Huang Butang has anything to do with you in the future, you can discuss with me more often, and I may help you with planning."

Huang Zan understood that Zhang Cong's purpose in posing a problem to him was actually to give priority to the two... Zhang Cong was the main one, and he was the second.
