Jinyi champion

Then Zhu Hao and Luo An discussed things, Zhu Wanhong could only go downstairs and wait.

Luo An described the situation in Nanjing in detail.

In dealing with Japanese pirates and pirates, Xu Peng, the minister of the Nanjing garrison, was passive and slack in his work. In Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, because Nanjing garrison had secret business contacts with pirates, the local guards sent troops to conscript and suppress them every time, especially to crusade against pirates. When there are islands, the pirates will be informed of the situation in advance and escape.

Based on Luo An's analysis, it seems that Xu Pengju and his staff are suspected of collaborating with pirates.

"Sir, are you investigating the people guarding the yamen?"

Luo An asked for instructions.

Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "We're new here, even if we investigate secretly, it's easy for others to find out the news. Why don't we just pretend we don't know and go through the motions."

Luo An was puzzled.

Zhu Hao went to Nanjing in person, so it was just a formality?Shouldn't they take the opportunity to clean up Nanjing's officialdom?Especially the person who replaced the Nanjing defense with the new emperor?

"Commissioner Luo Zhen, don't send people out for a few days, just keep a low profile for now, the Nanjing audit will not produce any results, and when there is an answer that the other side can explain to the matter here, you may have to deal with it I'm back home." Zhu Hao said.

"Yes."

Luo An saluted and accepted the order.

He heard the meaning of Zhu Hao's words, it seemed that Zhu Hao didn't intend to stay in Nanjing for a long time. From a rational point of view, Zhu Hao could secretly help the new emperor in the capital.
Therefore, Zhu Hao's attitude of calming down the matter is easy to understand, because Zhu Haozhi is not in the officialdom in Nanjing.

……

……

Luo An led the people away.

Zhu Hao stood at the door of the teahouse, ready to take Zhu Wanhong along.

Zhu Wanhong put a big face in front of Zhu Hao, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know why Luo Zhenfu came to Nanjing? Who are you looking for?"

"Zhu Qianhu, can you inquire about this?"

Zhu Hao said in an official tone coldly.

Zhu Wanhong grinned: "The humble job is just trying to contribute."

The power of making a fart is just to inquire about the news, and to see if you can get some benefits from these "confidential information". Based on Zhu Hao's understanding of Zhu Wanhong for so many years, he knows that this is a person who must be used with caution. If you don't pay attention, you will suffer backlash.

"It's getting late, I'm going to meet someone, can Zhu Qianhu go with me?" Zhu Hao asked.

"That's a good relationship...I don't know who Master Zhu is going to see?" Zhu Wanhong was about to agree directly, but then he thought that if Zhu Hao asked this question, he would definitely not take him there. He really wanted to know who Zhu Hao was going to see .

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Isn't Zhu Qianhu a smart person? Guess who I'm going to meet?"

Zhu Wanhong analyzed it seriously: "Either go to see Wei Guogong, he is the Nanjing garrison. Or go to see the Minister of the Nanjing Household Department, who is in charge of money and grain dispatching in the south of the Yangtze River..."

Zhu Hao was indeed going to see Huang Zan.

This point was guessed correctly by Zhu Wanhong.

Zhu Hao said: "Am I so big on face? The two top big men in the court, are they the ones I can meet whenever I want?"

"Boss? Yes, they are all big bosses. But Master Zhu is even bigger than them, but Master Zhu must be careful, no matter how strong you are, you have to be careful to beware of local bosses, low-ranking and incompetent, and once messed up on the ground in Nanjing." After a period of time, I learned a little bit about the shady scene in the local officialdom, do you think..."

Zhu Wanhong still wanted to go with Zhu Hao.

"Forget it, I'm going to see Huang Shangshu today, I don't need you to accompany me, let's go!"

Zhu Hao said goodbye to Zhu Wanhong directly, and stepped on the horse stool to get into the car.

Zhu Wanhong suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Zhu Hao who had already gotten into the carriage: "Then Master Zhu, what should I say when I see Master Yu and the others tomorrow? Where did you go today?"

This question is what Zhu Hao choked on him before taking over.

Don't help Zhu Hao cover it up, and don't tell the truth. Could it be that you are going to see Huang Zan?

If not, what the hell?
Say?
It's hard to tell the truth, and you can't tell lies, so there is such an arrangement?

"Make up your own mind!"

The carriage had already set off, and Zhu Hao's cold voice came from inside the carriage.

Zhu Wanhong pondered for a while, and his heavy breath showed the anger in his heart at the moment. Being teased by his nephew is not a fun thing, and he suddenly understood Zhu Hao's meaning ellipsis
"Then don't say anything, just ask three questions? You are young, you have been going around so many circles, you deserve to be exiled to Nanjing, and it is best that you can't go back... No, no, he can't go back to Beijing, I I can’t go back either, I’d better find a way to get him back sooner... Somebody, send someone to follow Mrs. Xiao Zhu, don’t let him have anything to do..."

……

……

Zhu Wanhong sent someone to follow Zhu Hao, but lost him at some point.

The carriage stopped in front of a shop, and there was no movement for a long time. When Zhu Wanhong's men mustered up the courage to lift the curtain to take a look, they found that Zhu Hao was no longer in the carriage.

Zhu Hao is in a place where he is not familiar with life in Nanjing, so he naturally has to be elusive. If someone is against him, he needs to find a way out as soon as possible. stubble.

It's getting dark.

Zhu Hao saw Su Xigui who had hurried back to Nanjing in the shop.

Beside Su Xigui was a very low-key old man. Although the old man was only wearing casual clothes, Zhu Hao could still tell from his grace that it should be Huang Zan himself.

The round face is a bit square, just a rectangular oval face, with a special beard. It looks like a female official, but overall it gives people a sense of being stable and capable of doing great things.

From Huang Zan's face, what Zhu Hao sees is an individual who is full of self-contradictions. It seems that all the things of loyalty and femininity can be done from this person, which can greatly strengthen the country and the people, and can protect the family. However, being evil can also bring disaster to the country and the people, leaving a bad reputation for thousands of years.

"Little master, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Huang."

The meeting place was in the hall of the business hall, not far away there were even a few merchants talking about business, but a closer look showed that it was a disguise.

There is a feeling of being hidden in the city.

Huang Zan came out to discuss things with Zhu Hao, and chose a shop where there were many people watching, and people could come in at any time... In this way, no one would suspect that they were discussing some important confidential matter.

Everyone in this hall belongs to Huang Zan, creating an illusion of a large crowd.

Zhu Hao cupped his hands: "Student Zhu Jingdao, I have met Huang Gong."

Huang Zan cupped his hands to return the salute, raised his mustache, and showed a wicked smile: "Mr. Zhu, you are welcome. I have heard of Mr. Zhu's name for a long time, and I am finally fortunate to meet you today."

From the beginning, he called Zhu Hao Mr. Zhu Hao as a veteran, which shows how cautious Huang Zan is in doing things.

You must not offend the people around the emperor, especially if this person is related to his career prospects and whether he can be the Minister of the Beihu Department, or even the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials.

……

……

Zhu Hao and Huang Zan sat at a small square table.

Su Xigui was very sensible, and consciously retreated to a distance, and got together with a few "merchants" who were talking about business in the corner, and then gestured to the people present.

Everyone took out cotton and plugged their ears, even Su Xigui himself.

Zhu Hao asked curiously: "This is..."

Huang Zan said: "When discussing important matters, you can't let idle people listen to them. Even if the listeners don't mean it, as long as the speaker is interested, someone will spread it. It's not good to invite people who want to speculate."

Zhu Haoxin said, are you saying that walls have ears?
The way you want to prevent the walls from having ears is very special. It is a very good way to discuss matters in a relatively noisy business hall and have people plug their ears.

Zhu Hao found that his first impression of Huang Zan was not wrong, he was a loyal female officer who could go to extremes.

However, it is understandable if you think about it. When Huang Zan entered the court as the right servant of the household department, it happened that when Jiang Bin gained power, Huang Zan stayed in Xuanfu for a long time.

Just under the eyes of the emperor, managing the military pay, managing the treasury and other affairs, it is inevitable to have contact with court ladies and sycophants, so it is natural to exercise this cautious style in front of him.

It is really a wrong step, and it will be lost forever.

"Mr. Zhu, have some tea."

Huang Zan poured tea for Zhu Hao himself.

Zhu Hao hurriedly said, "Mr. Huang, you are being polite."

Huang Zan said: "Hey, when Mr. Zhu arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, this old man has to do his best to be a landlord. I don't know if Mr. Zhu went to check the accounts of the coastal defense today, did he encounter any trouble? The old man asked someone to sort out the expenses of the southern coastal defense in the past few years, etc. Among them All deficits are clearly listed for Mr. Zhu's reference."

Good guy!
Zhu Hao really wanted to say good guy.

As soon as we met for the first time, you checked out all the inside information of Jiangnan Haiphong for me, summarized it, and sent it to me, so that I don't need to bother to check it?
Of course, it can’t be used directly. It is necessary to start with “soft persimmons” from various issues in the accounts, which can save a lot of trouble. It is even said that Zhu Hao can arrange Jinyiwei in the future by using the list given by Huang Zan. To catch corrupt officials.

Although we all know that the problem is mainly caused by Xu Yu, Zhu Fu, and Xu Pengju, the three Nanjing garrison officers before and after, as well as the commanders and envoys of various guards, but we still can't directly start with these people, at most we can only catch some of them. The little fish and shrimp came to make a difference.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Duke Huang is so efficient and efficient in handling affairs, no wonder His Majesty always mentions in front of his subordinates that there must be a Duke Huang in this court."

"yes?"

After hearing this, Huang Zan's old face was full of relief.

Not to mention anything else, Huang Zan has done a lot in the past few years. Everyone recognizes Huang Zan's ability, whether it is the new emperor's faction, Yang Tinghe, or Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Bin in front of him... Everyone admired Huang Zan's financial management ability, but they all complained about Huang Zan's vague position.

To put it bluntly, in this world, one cannot get along in the court without being capable.

The most important thing is to talk about factions.

Huang Zan's biggest problem is that he didn't join any faction before he entered the court. After entering the court, he was recruited by Zhu Houzhao, Jiang Bin and others, and fully cooperated with Emperor Zhengde's misconduct. The imperial faction cannot fully trust it either.

Just like when Zhu Hao just met Huang Zan, he was secretly observing whether Huang Zan was really available.

To put it bluntly, even Zhu Hao had doubts.

"Huang Gong, students don't hide anything. The situation in the northwest has come to this point. Although it restricts Mr. Yang Ge and the others, it also makes my soldiers and horses fall into a great passive state. The students are most afraid of the Tatars. Once again, we drove straight into the city of Beijing, and the situation in the capital will be difficult at that time, and Nanjing needs to have our own people in charge. So I hope that Huang Gong can be the person who presides over the overall situation in Nanjing.”

Zhu Hao almost didn't say...

If Yang Tinghe doesn't fall, you won't be able to enter the capital.

After finishing the matter, Yang Tinghe will become an official, and the biggest opponent of the new emperor in the court will leave. You can choose one of the six ministers in the capital.
