Jinyi champion

Chapter 507 Zhu Hao is very busy
The conversation between the two teenagers was like talking about the royal family dispute as if it were a small talk.

There is no sense of solemnity and solemnity, and the tone is full of ridicule.

Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin couldn't help but looked at each other, only then did they know that Zhu Hao was "cunning and scheming". He had long been prepared for the enemy to use the death of Zhu's fourth brother to provoke a wedge between the new emperor and Zhu Hao, so he asked Zhu to ask However, he planted the impression that his brother's death had nothing to do with the Zhu family.

Zhang Zuo said: "This matter... this old slave has heard about it, and King Lao Xing ordered outsiders to talk about the cause of the eldest son's death... all presumed to be an inexplicable sudden death..."

"Why do you want to do this?" Zhu Si couldn't help frowning.

"This……"

Zhang Zuo didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Hao looked at Tang Yin with a smile, and asked, "What does Mr. Tang think?"

Tang Yin thought for a while and analyzed: "In my guess, the previous king did this, or he wanted to make the court feel that he was in the wrong of the Xing Palace, and it could also arouse the jealousy of outsiders. Taking advantage of this opportunity, is this a trick of the late king?"

Zhu Si smiled openly: "Yes, yes, I think it's the same. Father Wang is really resourceful."

Tang Yin cast a glance at Zhu Hao, and started reasoning again: "There may be another advantage of this, the people in Jinyiwei who specialize in monitoring Xingwang's mansion will definitely take credit for it, making Emperor Xiaozong, the Queen Mother and others feel that the Zhu family did it... …Now Yang Ge is sure that Zhu Hao and His Majesty are incompatible, or it has something to do with it?"

Zhu Hao nodded with a smile: "After the emperor's day, Mr. Yang Ge and the Queen Mother had many schemes, plus my uncle is now relying on Mr. Yang Ge to betray Jiang Bin. Mr. Yang Ge should think that my Zhu family and the new emperor There is no possibility of connection."

Zhu Sidao: "Then your uncle..."

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Zhu family has nothing to do with me. When I was studying in the palace, they threatened me repeatedly. Eunuch Zhang should be very clear about this. Please don't associate me with the Zhu family. It has nothing to do with me." Zhu Hao expressed his attitude.

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "This old slave can prove it, but what the Zhu family did at that time... should be regarded as their own masters. Now that His Majesty is enthroned, how dare the Zhu family dare to oppose His Majesty?"

Zhu Si nodded: "That's true. Zhu Hao paid a lot in order to stay in the palace to study. I'm not an unreasonable person. Even if the Zhu family really did something unfavorable to the Xing Palace, it was still loyal to the court. But now I am the imperial court! They should be loyal to me."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Hao didn't feel much, but Lu Song, who had been standing at the door all the time, was very moved when he heard this.

Lu Song wanted to hear the words of each being his master, and now he was very afraid of being found out that he was Jin Yiwei's undercover agent in King Xing's mansion, and was threatened by others.

But so far, no one seems to be coming to him.

But after all, Lin Baihu and others are still alive, and Jiang Bin is not dead. The elders in Jinyiwei are very aware of what they did to Xingwang's mansion back then, but now one or two are silent and dare not bring up the old things when the new emperor ascends the throne.

……

……

Let go of your suspicions.

Zhu Si was in a good mood and took Zhu Hao to eat hot pot together.

A large number of ingredients were brought out from the palace, all of which were rare delicacies that could not be bought outside, or were so expensive that ordinary people could not afford them.

However, Zhu Hao still needs to provide some basic condiments.

There is iced sour plum soup for dinner. After all, it is approaching the end of May now, and the fire in June is approaching. The whole group is sweating profusely eating hot pot. This makes Zhu Hao miss the good days when there is an air conditioner. Even if there is no air conditioner, a fan good.

"Come here, help fan..."

Zhu Si was so hot that he asked Zhang Zuo to come over and act as a human fan for him.

When the plantain fan was in use, Zhang Zuo intentionally fanned the wind towards Zhu Hao, which made Tang Yin very envious.

After the meal, a group of people sat down and chatted, and on the other side began to arrange the singing.

"By the way, Zhu Hao, hurry up and think of a way to let the mother and concubine come to the capital earlier. The family members of the Xing Wangfu and the people who came to the capital basically stay in Anlu. If the two places are separated for a long time... just like Lu Song, he has no intentions. work?"

Zhu Si is very considerate of his subordinates.

Now a real problem is that when Zhu Si was eager to come to the capital to ascend the throne, the Xingwangfu team he brought could not drag his family.

Now that he has been enthroned for almost a month, Zhu Si wants to move the entire Xingwang Mansion to the capital, not only to reunite his mother and son, but also to reunite the family of his subordinates, so that he can have a greater sense of belonging in the capital.

Zhu Haodao: "Your Majesty, now that I have just passed the Jinshi examination, I haven't really settled down yet. In June, I will find someone to discuss the ceremony again. After the palace examination, I discussed this matter with Zhang Cong. When the time comes, I will ask him to come and help me. Go ahead and put pressure on Elder Yang Ge. Please be patient, Your Majesty."

"Okay, let's do it as soon as possible!"

Although Zhu Si was impatient, he was not so urgent that he had to solve it immediately.

With Zhu Hao outside to support him, he can often go out of the palace at night, instead of guarding an empty hall by candlelight every night, his homesickness is not so strong, and he is not so eager to reunite with his mother.

……

……

It was still Zhu Hao who reviewed the memorials that night.

Zhu Si may have faced Yang Tinghe and other ministers in the past two days, and his heartstrings have been tense. After watching the play, he was tired and rested early. Before returning to the palace tomorrow morning, he watched Zhu Hao specially sort out It is enough to be able to freely answer questions from Yang Tinghe and other ministers during the court meeting.

Zhu Hao doesn't need to record too many things, he can fully estimate which things may be used by civil officials to make a fuss.

Even if one or two items were missing occasionally, Zhu Si in the court could completely shirk it. He couldn’t remember so many memorials he had reviewed, so he couldn’t expect the emperor to remember every memorial he had read, could he?

At least so far, Yang Tinghe and others have not been able to find any faults in the new emperor in the court. Zhu Si can answer everything mentioned fluently. What's more, many solutions are more perfect and harmonious than the cabinet's draft. Comprehensively, Yang Tinghe's well-designed traps were disintegrated time and time again.

Zhu Hao has been very busy these two days.

As a new scholar and a champion, he needs to complete a series of procedures after being named on the gold list.

The first is the Enrong Banquet on May [-]th.

The Enrong Banquet was held in the Ministry of Rites, and was presided over by Mao Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites. In Wuxunzhong, the Empress Dowager ordered Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling to attend. Probably, the Empress Dowager Zhang wanted the two younger brothers to get closer to Xinke Scholars, so that the Zhang family could be in The presence of the court is a little higher.

In addition, other than the cabinet scholars, the ministers who read the papers, as well as the envoys of Luan Yi, the minister of rites, the minister of Honglu Temple, and the officials who accepted the papers, sealed the seals, closed the hands, supervised the examination, and guarded the banquet were also present at the banquet. In the army, participating in the leadership, filling in the list, printing, supplying, and praising the officials.

There is a long case, a table for four people, and there are tables in the back hall of the Ministry of Rites and in the yard.

There is nothing very good on the table, but you can see meat and fish, like bacon, smoked fish, roast duck, etc., and there are five or six hot and cold small dishes each. At the end, each person has a bowl of fish soup with a little fish floating in it. It is sea fish. It is not easy to eat sea fish in inland areas in this era.

Zhu Hao, as the champion, was at the same table with Yang Weicong and Fei Mao.

There was basically nothing to say during the banquet, and everyone listened to Mao Cheng's long speech.

……

……

On May [-]th, the imperial court uniforms and crowns were given, and all Jinshi were given some money, which was worth less than one tael of silver.

The court is also poor now.

The next day, May [-]st, led by Zhu Hao, the number one scholar, jointly signed all Jinshi to express their gratitude.

On May [-], all the Shinke Scholars went to the Confucian Temple to perform the Shicai Ceremony, that is, the sacrificial ceremony.

Up to this time, all the Xinke Jinshi were still just Jinshi, and had not yet obtained official positions.

Until May [-]th, officials were formally appointed by the Ministry of Officials, Zhu Hao edited and compiled for the Imperial Academy, and Yang Weicong and Fei Maozhong edited for the Imperial Academy. That is to go to observe politics, and at the same time set the exam date for Shujishi as May [-].

The Shu Jishi Examination is also called "selecting halls".

Most candidates who meet the age requirements want to enter the Hanlin Academy, and at least more than a hundred new subjects will take part in the selection examination for Shu Jishi.

The release day for the Shujishi Exam is usually May [-].

There is no need for exams for the first three, and they will officially enter the Hanlin Academy on May [-]th together with the new subjects.

……

……

Zhu Hao didn't feel much after a set of procedures went down.

On May [-]th, the Imperial Academy selection examination was in progress, and Zhu Hao met Zhang Cong who had already decided to observe the Ministry of Rites and Politics.

Zhang Cong is old and does not have the qualifications to be a good scholar. He is released to the Ministry of Political Rites. It is estimated that he may be officially appointed as an official within a year. If he is lucky, he will stay in the capital and be a moderate official in the capital. If he is lucky, he will almost be sent to the local government as a supervisor. Otherwise, he will directly serve as magistrate and other official vacancies.

This time Zhang Cong took the initiative to come to Zhu Hao, wanting to inquire about the arrangements for the ceremony.

"Brother Bingyong, have you contacted others recently to share your views on Dali?" Zhu Hao made a test first.

Zhang Cong shook his head honestly.

Bringing up this kind of thing is an enemy of the mainstream of the imperial court. When the Minister of Rites Mao Cheng and others discussed the grand ceremony for the first time, they made it very clear that whoever disagrees with the result is treacherous and evil, and the crime should be punished.

Under such a background, how dare Zhang Cong leak his thoughts so easily?
Zhu Hao sighed: "Brother Bingyong, this is a trick for rats! Even if the Ministry of Rites decides on a big gift, it is still discussed. Don't they dare to say that there is nothing controversial about it? As for the so-called treacherous theory, it is even more bluffing." of."

Zhang Cong said: "So it's better for you, the number one scholar, to propose it, and it's better for those who agree with it to jointly name it."

It seems to be accusing, since you said you were bluffing, why don't you do it yourself?But let me go up?
"Joint name? Besides you and me, who else?" Zhu Hao asked.

Zhang Cong didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Hao could see it. Now Zhang Cong was full of success and fame, but he just lacked motivation. To put it bluntly, the arrow could not be released.

Zhu Hao said: "If you really want to, I will take you to see His Majesty, and His Majesty will give you confidence... No need for other people to sign, you can play alone! Even if you really violate a taboo, Your Majesty will protect you! As for me , will not take action, but also to hide behind the scenes, to do things better for His Majesty, everyone has their own strengths, we should learn to divide and cooperate, instead of doing everything alone!"
