Jinyi champion

Chapter 696
Zhu Hao admitted it very casually.

Just like how insignificant this is, fame and fortune seem to him to be irrelevant and can be discarded at will.

But when Lou Suzhen heard it, her mood was not so peaceful.

Even though she learned from Sun Lan that the song "Linjiang Fairy" was written by Zhu Hao, after all, Sun Jiao would never lie to his daughter, but when Lou Suzhen got Zhu Hao's own confession, she was still in awe of Zhu Hao's calm and graceful demeanor Impressed.

"My lord, that eternal noun...is it really your composition?"

Lou Suzhen couldn't believe it for a moment.

Even though it was confirmed that it was Zhu Hao, she still wanted to continue to inquire and find out the truth. After all, she didn't think there was such a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune in the world... She had to find out the truth.

She remembered that when she and Zhu Hao went to a restaurant to eat hot pot, she heard the scholars next door talking about this poem. At that time, Zhu Hao showed a look of "love so and so", even if he knew that others were spreading the poem as Yang Shen's composition. Zhu Hao didn't argue, now think about it...

Is this really open-minded that mortals can do?

Zhu Haodao: "It's absurd to say that I wrote a poem by myself, but put it under someone else's name. Fortunately, Yang Yongxiu was too embarrassed to publicize that it was written by him. Even in front of Mr. Sun, he frankly admitted that it was my work. , but the mentality of a villain is fully revealed...but now I don't have the heart to think about it, and the journey south this time has some twists and turns, so I don't dare to be distracted."

What Zhu Hao meant, can you, Lou Suzhen, not make a fuss?
Isn't it just writing a poem?
No matter how famous you are, is it better than serving the emperor?
Comparable to Daming's hidden form?
Lou Suzhen said: "If the son feels the journey is rough, I can accompany you all the way."

"This...it's unnecessary."

Zhu Hao declined Lou Suzhen's request.

Zhu Hao knew very well that Lou Suzhen said that he was going south with him, but in fact the main purpose was to visit the south of the Yangtze River and find out the whereabouts of Lou's family members. Talking along the way might really relieve boredom, but is it true that a person who should have died in the official history is by his side? The man who went south with him wouldn't doubt it?
Lou Suzhen's demeanor and manner of speaking are there, and anyone who knows her background is extraordinary. Even if she wears men's clothes, people in this world are not all fools, and they will still be noticed in the end.

Lou Suzhen asked: "Then... can Mrs. Ling go with you?"

Zhu Hao continued to shake his head.

"My lord, is your marriage with Miss Ouyang's family settled? How about letting her serve by your side." Lou Suzhen said.

Zhu Hao said: "She will go to Nanjing with me, but she won't go with me. I'm going south this time to check the accounts in name, but in fact there are people monitoring everywhere on the way. I can't manage or do anything other than official business. So Madam don't have to worry too much about my going south."

When Lou Suzhen heard this, she knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless.

Zhu Hao has already made proper arrangements, and since he is a woman, it is difficult to help Zhu Hao. It is unrealistic to add her suggestion to Zhu Hao's original plan.

"Speaking of which, you may not be able to see each other for a long period of time when you are going south this time... It is really sad that you can no longer talk with you."

Lou Suzhen sighed sincerely.

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Tang will not leave the capital, I will let him come over more often to talk to Madam, to relieve loneliness."

Lou Suzhen gave Zhu Hao a blank look, and said: "The young master really knows how to send people. What Mr. Tang is thinking about is how to go back to his hometown and live the life of idle clouds, wild cranes, and horses in Nanshan. I will talk to him about state affairs. Can he hear it?"

Zhu Haodao: "Ma'am, don't forget our previous agreement. To make your husband a pillar of Daming does not lie in his ability, but in his willingness to do it, and keep working hard towards a goal... The matter of supervision is in my life. As a student, I still can't do it, so it's better for my wife to persuade me!"

It is agreed that you stay by my side, the purpose is to help Tang Yin get on the right track in life, and play the role of the emperor's staff and courtier well.

It's good for you to manage the women's school now. If you have interests and pursuits in life, you plan to leave Tang Yin alone?
That won't work!

You have to help me do the good things you said, no matter what method you use.

La also wants to pull Tang Yin to the court and let him continue to work!

……

……

The night before departure, after meeting Lou Suzhen, Zhu Hao knew that the person traveling with him was the Yu Chengxun he had predicted.

The imperial court did not send people from the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Households to the south, nor did the people from the Sanfa Division go with them. It was equivalent to sending two imperial officials to investigate the problems in the accounts of Jiangnan and Haiphong. The guidance given was that after arriving in Nanjing, the People from Nanjing's garrison Xunchen, Nanhubu, and Yingtianfu cooperated with the inspectors.

Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun are equivalent to "imperial envoys". Although they do not have the power to coordinate everything, they have the power to review all ledgers. If they need to check someone, they can rely on the help of people from the Nanjing Criminal Department.

According to what Yang Shen conveyed, Yang Tinghe had already greeted them in advance. After Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun arrived in Nanjing, the Sixth Division of the South would fully cooperate.

There are even people from Nanjing Jinyiwei helping.

It refers to Zhu Hao's uncle Zhu Wanhong.

Speaking of which, Zhu Hao hasn't heard from Zhu Wanhong for a while. He knows that Zhu Wanhong is bored in Nanjing, and he is looking for an opportunity to return to the capital. This time, Zhu Hao dare not treat Zhu Wanhong lightly, in case this cheap uncle treats him again Make some threats, or come up with some unconventional means?
"...After arriving in Nanjing, Dafu will come to receive you. Now that he has a certain relationship and contacts there, he will assist you in handling the case."

When Yang Shen finished conveying the matter and was about to leave, he said a special word to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao said: "Brother Yongxiu, in fact, Dafu and I... have some quarrels."

Yang Shen nodded: "I know, if you have any misunderstandings, it's good to make it clear in person. Now that Dafu has gained a firm foothold in the Nanjing officialdom, but he is determined to return to the capital, this time is also a rare opportunity for him. If he can take the opportunity You all have contributed a lot to finding out some things in the Nanhu Department... "

It really is a ghost.

What to say about checking the accounts of the southeast coastal defense, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to check the Southern Household Department and Huang Zan.

This is Yang Tinghe's purpose.

Zhu Hao asked: "Brother Yongxiu, besides us, is there anyone else investigating the case?"

Yang Shen was about to get into the carriage, but when he heard this, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Hao, showing a little surprise. It was obvious that Zhu Hao's question was a bit too direct, or to the point.

Zhu Hao's political consciousness is not ordinary. Since Yu Chengxun and I are both potential suspects of Yang Tinghe, how can we let two Hanlin who have little experience in handling cases be fully responsible for such an important matter as investigating Huang Zan?Don't put us on the surface as a cover to attract firepower, but actually send someone else to investigate behind the scenes?

"No one else, do it well."

Naturally, Yang Shen wouldn't tell Zhu Hao frankly, he just ordered a word, and then boarded the carriage and left.

……

……

That night, Sun Jiao was a little worried, and sent someone to call Zhu Hao to the mansion to inquire about Zhu Hao's plan to go south.

"...The old man failed to help you stay in the capital, but Jiefu said clearly that he only asked you to go to the south to investigate the case. The longest will be three or four months, and you will be back before the end of the year." Sun Jiaodao, "Jingdao, you are not here As for the capital... His Majesty's side... Uh, have you made arrangements?"

Sun Jiao was not only worried about Zhu Hao, but also worried that something might go wrong with the little emperor.

The old man has experienced many things, and his thoughts are more complicated. He looks forward and backward, and thinks about everything, and Sun Jiao is no exception.

For example, if Zhu Hao is not in the capital, can the new emperor handle all the court affairs well?If something goes wrong, will the secret of Zhu Hao doing things for His Majesty be revealed?

Zhu Hao is not in the capital for a long time, will the new emperor favor others?Will Zhu Hao fall out of favor?

After Zhu Hao arrived in the south, would someone secretly trip him up, or even carry out the assassination?

Sun Jiao had a lot of worries because he knew that Zhu Hao's identity was not simple, and because he had accepted Zhu Hao as his son-in-law from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want anything to happen to him.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "It's all arranged, Mr. Sun can rest assured."

Sun Jiao let out a long breath: "Respect, in fact, I don't really admire you for being so scheming. At your age, you really should go to the local area to practice, but I know your difficulties... Let the dog go with you, but I'm afraid of being gossiped..."

Like an old man on the verge of death, Sun Jiao was very chattery.

Zhu Hao listened carefully, but in his heart he still felt that there was really no nutrition.

"I'll just tell you something, after arriving in Jiangnan, you can't force anything, and come back early after finishing your work. What you have to guard against is not only Yang Jiefu, but... Sigh!"

Sun Jiao hesitated to speak.

Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Sun is always reminding me that if I'm not around for a long time, His Majesty will trust others instead?"

Sun Jiao was taken aback.

This kid speaks so aggressively, I really want to strangle him, but I can't deny that the scene is really embarrassing.

"Who does your majesty trust, the courtiers can't interfere, all I can do is try my best to reflect my own value... In the future, many major events will happen in the capital, I have already planned everything, this is why I can go south with peace of mind, and think The reason why I was able to escape unscathed...Elder Sun, take care, I hope to listen to your teachings again after returning to court."

Zhu Hao bowed his hands in salute.

"You kid, you reminded the old man of nothing? You want to say that the old man will leave the court before you come back, right? What are your plans? Why can't you tell the old man? Do you think the old man will leak the secret? ?"

Sun Jiao was a little annoyed.

I feel like a transparent person, Zhu Hao can see through my whole body, I can see through my old eyes, but I don't know what Zhu Hao is up to.

It's so annoying!

Sun Jiao finally understood why Zhu Hao was able to be like a fish in water with the new emperor, because he seemed to be able to guess everything.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, I want to help Xueshi Liu enter the cabinet, so that's all I can say."

"Do you think it's that easy... Anyway, I'll see how you plan. If Bachelor Liu succeeds in joining the cabinet, I'll be really happy for him!"

Sun Jiao wanted to reprimand Zhu Hao for being unrealistic.

But on second thought, why did I say this?

Think of it as a bet with Zhu Hao, to see if Zhu Hao really has the ability to strategize and win thousands of miles away, isn't it good?

If you don't finish it, go back and teach him again.

It's done, when he returns to the capital, give him a good reward.

That's how it should be with young people.
