Chapter 274 The meaning of being low-key

Xingwang Mansion, study room.

Zhu Youzhu was discussing the palace affairs with Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo.

Originally, it was just talking about the cultivation of the land in the palace at the beginning of the year, but Zhang Zuo had something important to report temporarily.

"...In the first year, the [-] telescopes built by the palace for the imperial court were said to have played a great role in the First World War in the Northwest. His Majesty praised them greatly, and discussed in the court hall the great achievements of defending the Northwest against the enemy. Wait."

Zhang Zuo was very happy.

Although in the telescope business, he didn't make any money, and suffered a little loss in the end, but at least this matter made a contribution to Xing Wangfu.

Yuan Zonggao should have informed King Xing of this matter, but the strange thing is that this time Yuan Zonggao did not receive any rumors from the court. Instead, Zhang Zuo, who had been silent before, was well informed.

Zhu Youzhao shook his head and sighed softly: "It is not necessarily a good thing to have merit."

Zhang Zuo smiled and said: "Because we not only provided binoculars years ago, but also provided grain, grass and supplies in batches, and took the initiative to share your worries. In addition, said Xing Wangfu has the responsibility of being a royal family."

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhao calmed down a little, looked at Yuan Zonggao and asked, "Yuan Changshi, do you think there is a problem with this matter?"

Yuan Zonggao said: "Why didn't King Xing ask Bohu for his opinion? At this time, if he is not here..."

At this moment, Yuan Zonggao is very concerned about the balance of power in the palace. In the previous battle with the Chengfeng Division, the Changshi Division lost the wind. If Tang Yin is brought out and let him join hands with him... he will be more confident in dealing with Zhang Zuo .

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "I went to Mr. Tang earlier and told him that he has left the palace. It is estimated that he has a private matter to deal with. I will find someone to ask his opinion later."

Only then did Yuan Zonggao know that it wasn't that King Xing didn't hear about Tang Yin, but that he didn't find anyone.

This shows that King Xing really values ​​Tang Yin.

"Yuan Changshi, just express your opinion." Zhu Youzhu urged.

Yuan Zonggao's face became serious: "In my opinion, even if the palace is a bit of a frontrunner in this matter, it may be disadvantageous to the overall situation, but as long as the palace wins the trust and support of the court officials and generals, it will be the best return."

Zhu Youzhao let out a heavy breath, obviously this was the answer he wanted to hear.

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Yuan Changshi's words speak to the heart of our family. Doing things for the court is the duty of a courtier, and one should not ask for anything in return, but you can't always give and get nothing in return. If you give a little, you are worried." Being said to have ulterior motives is unbearable to anyone else... Those elders in the pavilion are not unreasonable people, so they naturally know what our palace has done, and even the nobles of the Dudu's mansion are praising you, King Xing."

"Haha."

It was rare for Zhu Youtang to show a smile on his face.

When Yuan Zonggao saw the expressions of relief on the faces of Zhu Youjuan and Zhang Zuojian, even with a bit of complacency, Yuan Zonggao suddenly felt worried.

But at this time, he didn't say anything.

……

……

After Yuan Zonggao met Zhu Youzhao in the study, he left with Zhang Zuo and parted ways after going out.

On the surface, he maintains respect in terms of etiquette, but in private, his resentment is still there. The first thing Yuan Zonggao will do right now is to find Tang Yin.

Arriving at the East Courtyard where Tang Yin lived temporarily, he waited for a long time before seeing Tang Yin come back.

"Bohu, where have you been?"

After seeing the ceremony, Yuan Zonggao asked with a smile.

Tang Yin said: "It involves a little personal matter, what advice does Mr. Yuan have?"

Yuan Zonggao originally wanted to chat with Tang Yin for a while, as in the past, and asked Tang Yin, a foreigner, what private affairs could he have in Anlu?But when the words came to his lips...he still changed his mind, because some things seemed imminent to him.

"Bohu, the old man wants to talk to you about something in private."

Yuan Zonggao looked very cautious.

Tang Yin nodded: "I would like to hear the details."

……

……

In the small courtyard where Tang Yin lived, Yuan Zonggao told about the matter of going to see Zhu Youzhu, and mentioned a series of things done by the palace in the past year or so, so the prestige and reputation in the court have increased rapidly, etc...

"Bohu, what do you think about this?" Yuan Zonggao asked.

Tang Yin saw some signs, and Yuan Zonggao specifically mentioned the opinions of King Xing and Zhang Zuo. Since the other party came to ask his opinion alone, it meant that Yuan Zonggao did not agree with the relatively optimistic attitude of King Xing and Zhang Zuo.

"There is absolutely no need for the Palace to be too prominent in such matters."

Tang Yin expressed his opinion.

Yuan Zonggao frowned: "The palace was neglected by the court before, because His Majesty has no heirs, and some people in the court criticized it. Why do you think that the palace should not take the lead?"

Tang Yin thought to himself, are you asking the question knowingly?
Is this a test for me?
Or are you trying to pull me into your camp?
"In fact, this is the case. I believe that whether your Majesty has any heirs... is not an issue that the courtiers should be concerned about. Even if someone has some criticisms about Xing Wangfu and thinks that they have unreasonable thoughts, it has nothing to do with Xing Wangfu... At present, Xingwangfu is more concerned. It should be dealt with in a low-key manner, and the situation in the court will be calm, which is the best result for Xingwangfu."

Tang Yin was embarrassed to say something, but Yuan Zonggao understood what was going on.

There is the first heir to the throne in Prince Xing's Mansion, which is equivalent to the crown prince, so people in the court pay attention to it. Those with good intentions want to attack King Xing's Mansion in exchange for the approval of the emperor and queen mother.

At such a time, the Xing Wang Mansion should be more low-key and humble. Only when the emperor dies without any surprises or dangers, and the throne is truly taken, can it be considered a complete victory.

Now being the first bird, isn't it causing trouble for yourself?

Yuan Zonggao nodded: "It seems that Bohu and I have similar opinions. In the past few years, the imperial court has repeatedly caused troubles for the palace. Fortunately, the palace has taken precautions to avoid trouble... The more outrageous things the palace does, the more people will Worry!"

Tang Yin agreed with Yuan Zonggao's opinion.

The two reached a consensus in words, and decided that the palace should guard against arrogance and impetuosity in the coming time, and not strive to be the first bird, so as to suppress Zhang Zuo who likes to advance aggressively.

He didn't say it clearly, but Tang Yin probably understood that this was the case.

……

……

That night.

Jiang Lun invited Tang Yin to have a drink, Tang Yin unexpectedly did not attend the appointment, but went to the dormitory of the West Courtyard, and saw Zhu Hao who was busy writing the script.

"You still have the mind to write operas? Isn't it too relaxed?" Tang Yin let Jinghong continue to study his homework inside, then brought Zhu Hao to the yard, and said something with a soft sigh.

Zhu Haodao: "Combining work and rest, writing an article is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it depends more on the usual accumulation. Mr. Tang once took the exam for Jiangnan Jieyuan, so he should understand the joint..."

Tang Yin didn't say anything.

Even with his talent, he did not pass the Jieyuan exam until he was close to thirty years old, but he only had a good year in Vanity Fair, and he was beaten back to his original form the next year, and he has never recovered from it.

As a well-known talented person in the world, I understand the pain of "talented but unable to get into school" best. It is not because you are famous that you will be invincible in the examination room. The quality of writing articles is one aspect. The key depends on the examiner's attitude. Whether you appreciate your article, the mood of the marking officer, and your performance on the spot that day...

No first text.

Tang Yindao: "Yuan Changshi came to me today and talked about the future strategy of Prince Xingfu..."

Tang Yin directly explained the reason.

In front of Zhu Hao, he felt that it would be better to speak out than to hide. Sometimes even if he didn't say anything, Zhu Hao could guess, so it's better to be honest and say everything that needs to be said.

While listening, Zhu Hao moved two small benches under the grape arbor, and sat with Tang Yin.

After Tang Yin finished speaking, without waiting for Zhu Hao to ask questions, he directly stated his opinion: "On this matter, I agree with Yuan Changshi's opinion, and calmness is the best choice at present."

"Ha ha."

Zhu Hao's laughter was a bit loud, and it was a bit harsh to Tang Yin.

"Don't you agree?"

Tang Yin thinks, this time you should say that you agree with me, right?
With your cunning, don't you think that Prince Xing's Mansion should be high-profile?
Zhu Hao asked: "Mr. Tang, to put it bluntly, if one day... Jinshang dies suddenly, who do you think will decide the succession of the throne?"

"Ok?"

Tang Yin frowned.

Zhu Hao is reasonable. He always puts himself in his shoes and doesn't play tricks on you.

Tang Yin thought about it carefully: "Your Majesty is in the prime of his life today, so I'm afraid he won't make a crown prince. Once he dies suddenly, it will be decided by the cabinet ministers, the empress, the empress dowager, etc."

Since there were only two masters and apprentices, Tang Yin did not worry about any disrespectful words.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Then what do you think is the biggest obstacle for the son to inherit the throne at that time? For example, what concerns do the cabinet ministers, the queen mother and others have?"

Tang Yin had never thought about such issues before, and was stunned for a moment.

After a while, Tang Yin said: "Let's listen."

Zhu Haodao: "I think everything lies in a legitimate question... It depends on the opinions of the Queen Mother and the important officials in the court, especially the cabinet ministers. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Tang Yin seemed to realize something.

"So do you think that if Prince Xing's Mansion doesn't have the good reputation of supporting the country and Anbang, who in the court would recognize Prince Xing's Mansion and elect the son to the throne?" Tang Yin asked.

Zhu Hao smiled and nodded: "Being low-key is the Confucian way of dealing with the world. It is obviously out of date when it involves the struggle for the throne. If you don't even fight for it, why should the courtiers hand over the foundation of the Ming Dynasty to you? But you I'm waiting for this time to discuss... such a big matter, it's a bit unfounded to worry about it, and it's too early to say these things when the day is not over."

Tang Yin shook his head: "If you're not afraid of [-], you're just in case. Some things have to be arranged in advance, otherwise it will be too late."

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "As long as the Xing Palace has prestige, once His Majesty dies, the ministers will immediately think of the Prince Xing's son and strongly recommend it to the Queen Mother. This is the most beneficial thing for the Xing Palace.

"As for being a low-key person... you kept a low profile until the end, like an outsider, and the courtiers would never think of you. Is it meaningful to be so low-key?"
