Jinyi champion

Sun Jiao has no way to let Zhu Hao bypass the existing system to join the cabinet, he can only tell the truth to Zhu Si, saying that there is nothing he can do about it.

When he was about to leave the palace gate, Sun Jiao hadn't recovered from the previous shock.

this kid...

It seems that he is just an ordinary sixth-rank court official, unknown in the Hanlin Academy, but he is the emperor's teacher. He was highly respected by Xingwang's mansion as a young man, and now he is... helping the emperor to deal with family and country affairs?How did he do that?
Could it be that Zhu Hao usually went to the palace to help the emperor review the inscriptions?Or did the emperor send someone to send those memorials outside the palace for Zhu Hao to deal with?

"Yang Jiefu, Yang Jiefu, you never imagined that your opponent is not His Majesty today, but the little champion who is usually used by you, who looks like he is joking and has no shape? Hey, what kind of world is this?"

Sun Jiao's face was full of self-mockery.

In the past, after returning home, he would definitely call the person involved, that is, his son-in-law Zhu Hao, and ask him in detail.

But now he has learned to endure.

The emperor told him about this, obviously for another purpose, no matter what goal he wants to achieve in the end, in short, I pretend not to know, this is the best way to deal with it at the moment.

After I went back, my old bones would write my resignation. On the surface, I have nothing to do with it!

……

……

Sun Jiao left.

Inside the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Si looked at Zhang Zuo helplessly: "Did I do something wrong? Shouldn't I have said this to Mr. Sun?"

"This this……"

Although Zhang Zuo was ashamed, he couldn't directly answer yes or no. He was obsequious and slandered in his heart: Did you say that you didn't think it through before?What if Sun handed it over to inform?Although this possibility is unlikely, after all, Sun Jiao is an old cunning man, and he doesn't want to get involved in court disputes, and no one will believe this matter if he tells it, but who knows what Sun Jiao is thinking?

Zhu Si sighed: "Actually, I just want Zhu Hao to take the position earlier, instead of hiding everything he does like now, just like groping around in the dark... If Zhu Hao enters the cabinet, he will definitely have a bad opinion of his surname." Yang's was the coup de grace."

Zhang Zuo hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu's hiding in the dark may be the best way to assist you. If he turns from the dark to the bright, I'm afraid he will be targeted by civil servants, and he will be like Yuan Pavilion when he enters the cabinet." It’s the same old, it’s hard to make a difference.”

"yes?"

Zhu Si looked displeased.

Zhang Zuo, are you teaching me a lesson?
What a big dog!
Zhang Zuo quickly bowed his head: "Your Majesty is talking nonsense, Your Majesty, don't take it to heart."

"okay."

Zhu Siyi raised his hand, "Anyway, I should tell Elder Sun about this, so that I can tie him to this big boat of mine, so that he can stop being a fool... Hehe, look at him now How to do!"

"Zhu Hao is his son-in-law. He has the ability to report his own son-in-law. Besides, when Zhu Hao helps me, he is helping the court, just like his old man Sun didn't get any benefits."

"This……"

Zhang Zuo didn't know what to say.

Based on Zhang Zuo's thinking, isn't it better to ask Zhu Hao for his opinion now than to make up your own mind?

No matter how far-sighted you are, do you have that Zhu Jingdao who thinks thoroughly?

Zhu Si glared at Zhang Zuo: "You are not allowed to leak this matter, especially not to let Zhu Hao know, otherwise he will try to reason with me again, and I will be so annoying!"

Huh?
The emperor actually had resistance to Zhu Hao?
Zhang Zuo suddenly felt that this might be a good thing, otherwise the emperor would listen to Zhu Hao in everything, so what status would he have by the emperor's side?

"Your Majesty, are you still leaving the palace today?"

Zhang Zuo asked tentatively.

"Of course we're going out. It's hot and stuffy in the palace. There's ice cream outside, and you can watch a movie. It's a lot of fun. You can discuss state affairs with Zhu Hao. This way, you can take care of the government and play with peace of mind. It's no better than staying in the palace. Is the palace much better? And I feel that the food in the palace is really not good, right... let
Someone found some Anlu local recipes and sent them to the imperial dining room. I wanted to change the taste. "

……

……

Even if Zhu Hao didn't know what Zhu Si said to Sun Jiao, he knew that nothing good had happened since he summoned him alone to talk.

After Sun handed it back, there was no response, which can only mean...Maybe Zhu Si has made his own claim again.

fair enough.

If Zhu Si listened to him in everything, gradually, even Zhu Si himself might feel bored or feel insecure.

No one is willing to entrust all their affairs to others, even if that person has no plans.

This is also a good thing for Zhang Zuo, Huang Jin, Zhu Chen and others. They will feel that the pressure on them will be much less if the emperor doesn't have to ask Zhu Hao about everything.

It is an extremely dangerous signal to create another big Buddha in front of the emperor, sometimes even more powerful than the emperor.

Since ancient times, powerful ministers fell from power, or embarked on a path of rebellion, often from gaining extreme trust, to supercilious, and then to death...

Zhu Hao asked himself that he was not a saint. If he continued to develop, with Zhu Si's inherently ruthless and suspicious character, his ending might not be very good.

So Zhu Hao tried his best to avoid making himself the target of public criticism, even if Zhu Si really needed him now, he couldn't do without him in a short time.

On the same day, Zhu Hao received a letter from Nanjing, which was sent by his uncle Zhu Wanhong privately.

Because this kind of private letter may be intercepted by someone who knows the content of both parties, Zhu Wanhong only expressed his idea of ​​returning to the capital as soon as possible in the letter, talking about how difficult life in Nanjing is, and how much the old man and the old lady miss Zhu. Hao this grandson.

Finally, by the way, I asked Zhu Hao's second uncle, Zhu Wanjian, about the situation.

It may be that Zhu Wanjian was so happy in Kangling that he didn't take the initiative to communicate with his family. Zhu's family didn't know what happened, and thought that Zhu Wanjian was being held hostage by the court, and they were trying to find ways to clear it up.

But in fact Zhu Wanjian was injured a little during the fight with the Zhang family before, and there is no problem at all... I heard that the second uncle is very frightened in Kangling now, and he likes to gamble and cause trouble when he has nothing to do. With an official position, there are dozens of people below to obey his orders, and the slightest power will start to swell.

Zhu Hao replied to Zhu Wanhong,

The letter is plain.

Zhu Hao talked about his study and work in the Imperial Academy, expressed the filial piety and righteousness advocated by the Confucian family, and expressed his concern for his family...

The whole article did not mention anything about Zhu's return to the capital.

want to come back?
There are no doors!

Honestly, stay in Nanjing for me!
Even if Yang Tinghe falls from power in the future, he still has to stay there!
If you still want to find trouble, arrange to go to the coastal guards to guard the border!

These so-called "relatives" are ungrateful and ungrateful, and have never had any family affection in them. They fought so fiercely back then, what kind of favor do you want me to bring to you now?
It would be good not to let the Zhu family be destroyed!

Are you okay and want to come to the capital to make trouble?
They are a family in name, but in fact it is better to live separately.

……

Tang Yin has recently been busy with opening an iron factory in the capital.

This is within the scope of Tang Yin's duties.

The Ministry of Industry has opened up a new workshop in the area of ​​the Wang Gong factory in the capital, mainly to manufacture some steel machinery, stamping, casting and other things, which are of little value to ordinary people, but they can be used for firearms and other things. Prepare for the manufacture of supporting machines.

"... Tens of thousands of catties of steel and coal are transported from Xishan every month, and now the winter is about to pass. There is also demand from the Xuanfu. The Ministry of Households came to communicate and said that we should transfer a batch of them to the Yizhou Mountain factory. Insufficient preparations for collecting charcoal..."

Tang Yin is now a qualified bureaucrat.

Communicating with all parties has demonstrated his ability, and he can basically do it with ease.

People are a bit busy, but in Zhu Hao
It seems that this is better than being idle, at least now Tang Yin doesn't see too much oldness, it's hard to imagine that this is an old guy who has more than a year of life in history and is dying.

In Zhu Hao's eyes, Tang Yin was the most affected by the butterfly effect he produced, and the cause of Tang Yin's death in history was more due to poverty. He very much hoped that through his own efforts, Tang Yin could survive.

With the example of Liu Chun, Zhu Hao is also trying his best to make some changes.

Zhu Hao said: "Now the mine produces more and more coal, which is meeting the heating and cooking needs of the people in the capital, but this is not enough. I hope to produce more steel. The output of the Xishan Iron Works is obviously insufficient. Only rely on the existing iron mines in the capital. factory supply, or dispatch from other places...it is very difficult to satisfy.”

Tang Yin was a little nervous: "What do you mean, you want me to open iron mines? Oh, don't you make things difficult for me, an old bone? No, no! Don't look for me, I won't agree!"

"No, I'm going to let Mr. Gongsun go this time. He didn't make a name for himself in the Imperial College, and he can't do much in the capital. Otherwise, let him go around the capital..." Zhu Hao laughed.

"I'm afraid he won't be able to."

Although they are both Juren, Tang Yin looks down on Gongsunyi from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Then... sir, do it yourself?"

Tang Yin immediately changed his words: "If you can't do it, you have to do it. Gongsun kid wants to be an official, this is the best experience for him! Or...you throw the kid from the Sun family over there."

"Which Sun family? My father-in-law's family?"

Zhu Hao asked.

Tang Yin curled his lips: "Don't pretend to be confused with me, you can't transfer the Shangshu family...you can only transfer your cheap apprentice, anyway, he can't make a name for himself if he stays in the capital."

Zhu Hao said: "This time I'm going to let the Bao family go together... I've chosen the place, it's just to the east of the capital, not far from Shanhaiguan. Before Dongzhu Su sent people to survey the terrain, there are already many railway stations nearby. mine, but the output is very small, this time we use new machinery and exploration methods to try to win it in one fell swoop.”

"Aren't you going?"

Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao.

Obviously, in Tang Yin's view, without the participation of Zhu Hao, a "magic stick", it would be very difficult to get things done.

Just like the Xishan coal mine, most of it was explored by Zhu Hao.

Could it be that Zhu Hao didn't go to explore iron ore?
Zhu Hao spread his hands: "I don't have much experience in iron ore exploration. Su Dongzhu has recruited a large number of people, so there should be no problem. By the way, when the Bohai Shipyard starts to open, Mr. Tang, you have to..."

"I know you're not at ease."

Tang Yin rolled his eyes, "Call me when the shipyard is about to be built! I won't get involved in other matters, let me clean up for a few days."
