Jinyi champion

Chapter 513

During the Zhengde period, there were four palace examinations. Five Shujishi were selected in the third year of Zhengde, [-] Shujishi were selected in the sixth year, no selection was made in the ninth year of Zhengde, and thirty-four Shujishi were selected in the [-]th year of Zhengde.

In the [-]th year of Zhengde, [-] Shujishi were selected.

Before noon that day, twenty-four newly-promoted concubines from the undergraduate course, together with three from the first class, a total of twenty-seven people, jointly signed a concert to persuade the emperor to give up the idea of ​​welcoming the mother and concubine of the palace to the capital.

It mentioned that putting the country first is the real "righteousness".

To put it bluntly, it is to persuade the emperor to give up the relationship between mother and child, and concentrate on being a good emperor in the court from now on, while your mother is entrusted to others to take care of. Anyway, the Ministry of Rites has prepared to choose a "brother" for you from Prince Yi's mansion to help you support your mother.

This discussion is tantamount to telling the emperor that the twenty-seven disciples of the emperor who entered the Hanlin Academy this time have chosen to stand in the Yang Tinghe camp... Don't expect us to come to help you discuss the grand ceremony. Forget about it, old mother, just like when your father was a feudal clan, he had to be separated from his mother.

When Zhu Si saw this memorandum, he was naturally furious. Fortunately, Zhu Hao had already given him a vaccination, and he didn't say that he would explode on the spot, or throw away the pick and go back to safety that he mentioned when he threatened civil servants in the past. The cruel words of Lu Zhou going to be King Xing.

At least when he left the palace to see Zhu Hao in the evening, his expression was quite normal.

"...you've got it all right. It seems that I can't be counted on by anyone. The Chinese officials of the court have controlled the way of speech, and they have also grasped the way to be promoted to Jinshi in the new department. I'm just an empty emperor... Now the Ming Dynasty can say It's the world of civil servants, and I'm just a puppet."

Zhu Si sighed and talked to Zhu Hao, completely disregarding the emperor's demeanor.

Zhu Hao wondered, "Isn't everything under control?"

Zhu Si raised his head and looked at Zhu Hao. He didn't want to say anything. Zhang Zuo who was next to him hurried to help: "Mr. Zhu, is this still under control? Now everyone is about to betray their relatives... Maybe you are the only one who jumped out of that circle and stood up to support His Majesty. Only then can His Majesty see hope."

Tang Yinze said: "If Zhu Haoliang reveals his identity, he will probably be kicked out of the Imperial Academy in a short time. It's not realistic to appoint him as the No. [-] Scholar, but Nanjing Imperial Academy... Sigh!"

After all, Tang Yin understands the current situation.

Since everyone knew that Yang Tinghe had mastered the promotion channel of Xinke Scholars, let Zhu Hao jump out and fight against him. Wouldn't this mean that Zhu Hao, a useful pawn, would be sacrificed for nothing?
Zhu Si shook his head: "Don't let Zhu Hao confront Wen Chen. We don't have enough strength now, so we can only bear with it. If Zhu Hao comes out, he will definitely be released. At that time, I will lose a powerful helper by my side... that's the reason." It's a trick."

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

After all, Zhu Hao offered to join the enemy's camp as an undercover agent, so at this time, he could only try his best to appease Zhu Si's wounded heart and keep him from thinking wildly.

Zhang Zuo, Tang Yin, Lu Song and others looked at Zhu Hao with strange eyes, as if they were saying, can you still laugh now?

Zhu Haodao: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because we acted in time that Elder Yang Ge had to act first, so that now only the new subjects of the Imperial Academy are jointly signed, so that our next plan can still be carried out..."

Zhu Si asked: "Since I knew in advance that they would use Xinke Jinshi, why couldn't I issue an imperial decree and not allow Xinke Jinshi to make irresponsible remarks about the ceremony?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhu."

Zhang Zuo asked Zhu Hao eagerly.

Obviously Zhang Zuo came up with this bad idea, but it was not adopted by Zhu Si.

Tang Yin replied for Zhu Hao: "This will be true, saying that His Majesty blocks the way of speech, which will be detrimental to His Majesty's reputation."

"Really? Is this called blocking the way of speech?"

Zhu Si obviously didn't think there was anything wrong.

Zhu Hao nodded: "In fact, if you put it on the side of Mr. Yang Ge, they will also say that this is the choice of Xinke Hanlin. After all, Mr. Yang Ge and the important officials in the court did not show up. Hints and wooing forced us, the new Hanlin, to submit. In fact, many people didn’t want to go along with it, but because of the situation, they had to do it.”

Zhu Si was shocked again when he heard a disheartened look.

"But as I said before, now only the new Jinshi in the Imperial Academy submit. For those Jinshi outside, they still have the opportunity to choose to stand on His Majesty's side, so that they won't be talked about. We are going to use it to present the person who discussed the ceremony, that is, Zhang Cong, who has not been affected in any way by the Ministry of Rites."

Zhu Hao comforts Zhu Si.

As long as Yang Tinghe didn't pull all Jinshi into the water, it would still be feasible to discuss big gifts with Xinke Jinshi.

Just follow the original plan.

"When will it start?"

Zhu Si couldn't wait.

Zhu Hao said: "We still have to wait patiently...Your Majesty, you have only been enthroned for a month now, why are you so anxious to solve the problem in a short time? Can't you even wait for the change of Yuan at the end of the year?"

"I don't want to wait any longer!"

Zhu Si had a stubborn temper again.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Since that's the case, the minister will set a time. Before the tenth day of June, let Zhang Cong present the memorial ceremony we agreed and drafted. Although it is a bit urgent, there is an urgent way, but I want to remind Your Majesty that this is just the beginning, and it will take at least a year and a half, or even two or three years, to completely solve the problem, Your Majesty must be patient then."

Zhu Siyi gritted his teeth: "Okay, as long as you start early, at least you have hope, and you won't be bullied everywhere like you are now! It's so embarrassing! I have to watch three plays today. Zhu Hao, I will leave the matter of reviewing the memorabilia to you." You, I'm not in the mood to read those things today, especially I don't want to see the cabinet proposals... Hmph, they're all a bunch of bastards!"

……

……

The way for the emperor to relieve his depression is to watch a play.

Dissatisfied with the cabinet, he ignored the cabinet's proposals and handed over the power of award approval to Zhu Hao.

Zhang Zuo was very envious.

At least until now, he is very sensible, knowing that his ability to deal with state affairs is quite lacking. At most, he just listens to the cabinet's advice and approves reds according to the cabinet votes. Instead, he might as well change the cabinet's thinking in the tone of an emperor like Zhu Hao. It also gave the new emperor the pleasure of revenge on civil servants.

The next day.

On the first day of June in the court.

Zhu Si stared at the two rows of dignified ministers in front of him, the resentment in his heart made him feel as if he was being manipulated by others, and he wished he could skin the group of people in front of him.

"His Majesty……"

Yang Tinghe came out after the lengthy memorial from the Ministry of Industry, wanting to break the oppressive atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers, and incidentally proposed that the newly promoted Hanlin memorial be requested by the emperor to take it back as an order.

Zhu Si stretched out his hand to interrupt Yang Tinghe's words: "Old Yang Ge, do you want to remind me not to take my mother and concubine to the capital? I have read yesterday's memorials, and one of them made me very angry. , I don’t even understand the basics of filial piety, and think that my taking my mother and concubine to the capital violates the Confucian legal system... Does Mr. Yang Ge also think that I have no connection with my biological mother?"

Yang Tinghe did not expect the young emperor to ask such sharp questions.

In this kind of occasion where the officials are pressing each other, he is not afraid of danger, and what he said sounds like angry words, but it is also well-organized.

Yang Tinghe said: "The Ministry of Rites has its own public discussion, and I dare not make judgments."

After speaking, he took a step back, meaning to let Mao Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, come out to pick up the quarrel.

Mao Cheng had a headache, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out, and said righteously: "Your Majesty, the second son of King Yi, who is bestowed by King Chongren, who is benevolent and filial to the country, should be his heir to the Xing Palace, and the Baoxing Palace will continue to burn incense."

Zhu Si sneered endlessly: "The acting king is older than me, so is he my elder brother or my younger brother?"

Mao Cheng said: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and you have no relationship with him..."

"Then you look for him to be the emperor. My father and king have only one son. You don't look for someone with many sons to be the emperor, but you look for me. Haven't you thought about this problem? Why can't I personally support the Xingwang Palace? What’s the point of asking someone else to do it for you?”

Zhu Si took out the energy of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, and reasoned with Mao Cheng.

At this moment, Mao Cheng finally understood.

It's useless to find those Xinke Jinshi to persuade the king, and it also annoyed the emperor, making the emperor feel that the ministers in the court are forming cliques, and even the Xinke Jinshi is being blackmailed and used.

Mao Cheng felt that Yang Tinghe's actions were a bit intensified.

Mao Cheng didn't want to completely offend the emperor, so he could only choose to remain silent.

"Okay, let's come here this morning. I stayed up all night last night for my mother and concubine. I am not in the mood to deal with court affairs. You are capable, so I will leave it to you... I am leaving!"

After Zhu Si finished speaking, he got up and left.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly said: "Retire!"

Without waiting for the ministers to salute, Zhu Si left like a gust of wind.

……

……

In the court, it seemed that Yang Tinghe had once again won a big victory, but in fact, there was a big problem within his camp. Unlike before when everyone was resolute when discussing the ceremony, now people are looking at Yang Tinghe with complicated eyes.

The problem is that Yang Tinghe not only failed to resolve the little emperor's resentment, but used some radical means to further intensify the conflict between the two sides. The emperor's angry speech is the best proof.

From the perspective of being a son of man, it is not an exaggeration for the emperor to propose to support his mother. This is simpler and more practical than canonizing Zhu Youzhao as emperor, and it is unbearable to refuse.

And now everyone thinks that this little emperor is not only diligent, but also benevolent and filial. After all, everything is based on respecting his mother.

This is very in line with the etiquette and law advocated by Confucianism, and the literati can't help but feel good about it.

Once there was a suspicion, Yang Tinghe found that the people around him looked at him with a kind of alienation, even contempt, and suddenly felt that the team was not easy to lead.

"Alas! Your Majesty said that he had no intention of going to court last night, but none of the official memos were released, and most of them are not based on the cabinet votes. There is no one refute in the six subjects. Your Majesty's wisdom is rare in ancient times."

After leaving Fengtian Hall, several members of the cabinet went to the value room.

Jiang Mian couldn't help expressing emotion.

However, Yuan Zonggao deliberately avoided this remark, because Yuan Zonggao was talking to people from the Ministry of Rites at this time.

After Liang Chu became an official, Jiang Mian was regarded as Yang Tinghe's strongest subordinate, and now even he feels a little sorry for the little emperor.

What else can Yang Tinghe say?
The pressure was all on him, and he couldn't breathe.
