Jinyi champion

A banquet with a weird atmosphere, broke up unhappy after Zhu Hao's drunken provocation.

They each left the garden.

When Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun came out, it was already time to turn on the lights. Yu Chengxun supported Zhu Hao who was staggering and looked very drunk, and sighed: "I thought it was going to be late, but I told the kitchen to say hello, so there is no need to prepare for us. dinner, and it turned out that the banquet just started, and this came out?"

Zhu Hao laughed and said, "It's all my fault, it ruined this table of good food and wine."

Yu Chengxun looked at Zhu Hao, and said, "Jingdao, are you not drunk? I don't think the words you said earlier seemed drunk at all. Did you say it to those people on purpose? Especially... Luo Zhenfu?"

Zhu Hao said: "Why aren't you drunk? Look, I can't even walk steadily... Let's just say I'm too strong to drink. It seems that you can't ask me for drinking in the future. In the future, brother Maogong should help take care of it."

Although Yu Chengxun wasn't sure if Zhu Hao was pretending to be drunk, but the crazy words he said alone got a lot of information from Luo An.

The two did not take the carriage, but let the carriage follow behind, and the two walked to the garden where they stayed, after all, it was only a few steps away.

Yu Chengxun said: "You mentioned that he came to Jiangnan to meet someone and do something to win him over? Who do you think it would be?"

"Who else? Either Yuyao, or 'Sannan Layman, chant...'" Zhu Haobian said.

Yu Chengxun was puzzled and asked: "Sannan layman?"

Zhu Haodao: "Brother Maogong may not know, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Suian, is now known as Sannan Jushi. This is what it means to be born in Yunnan, grow up in Hunan, and live in Jiangnan in his later years."

"Yang Yingning who lives in Zhenjiang?"

Yu Chengxun immediately thought of this, even if he didn't quite understand the interests of the court, he still knew that Yang Yiqing was definitely a difficult master, and he was probably the most feared political opponent of Yang Tinghe, so he immediately looked at Zhu Hao with incredulous eyes , "Jingdao, how did you find out that he has such intentions?"

Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "I didn't see it, I was blinded by drunkenness."

"Respectfully, don't pretend to be confused in front of smart people, tell the truth."

Yu Chengxun asked with a smile.

Zhu Hao said: "I saw that Tong Huo Tao was there, so I guessed that there might be such intentions."

Yu Chengxun was puzzled: "A young principal, like you and me... No, it should be said that I am about the same age as him. He has not been in the court for a long time. Would he be worthy of the new emperor's acceptance?"

"Ugh!"

Zhu Hao sighed, "Your Majesty is very concerned about the ceremony, and has never stopped recruiting officials who have no ambitions. Do you dare to say that His Majesty's people haven't looked for you secretly?"

"Of course not. Given my relationship with Yang Zhongtang, how could His Majesty think of me?" Yu Chengxun smiled and waved his hands.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, boy, you are dishonest.

The work of recruiting you was still done by me. I gave you gifts secretly, and even gave gifts to your elder brother who once served as the commander of Jinshi in Nanjing Jinyiwei. Why are you pretending to be garlic in front of me?
Zhu Haodao: "It's just like I waited for Yang Ge to be old and loyal, so His Majesty has no intention of accepting him... But His Majesty always wants to make a fuss among young and unwilling officials, otherwise, don't you want to choose from those Beijing officials who have already fulfilled their wishes?" Choose?"

"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Yu Chengxun seemed to be brainwashed by Zhu Hao, and he couldn't stop nodding in approval.

Think about it.

The little emperor now wants to cultivate his own power, and it is obviously not possible to rely on those old officials. Those are basically Yang Tinghe, or they are afraid of Yang Tinghe and can only pretend to be a snake, or start with scattered people outside the court, such as Yang Yiqing and Xie Yiqing. Veteran ministers like Qian who are in a state of retirement, or those officials who are unwilling from the middle and lower levels.

And Huo Tao, as a Jinshi in the ninth year of Zhengde, had been idle for many years, and now he is the head of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry of the sixth grade, and he is a bit of an opinion leader, so he is naturally the target of the little emperor.

Yu Chengxun said: "It's true that you have pointed it out. It is better to notify Yang Zhongtang in the capital as soon as possible. We must take precautions as soon as possible.
prepare. "

What I want is your sentence.

However, Zhu Hao showed a timid look: "Brother Maogong, I just chatted with him for a few words now, and I didn't talk to him directly, so I can be sure? Do you want... to think about it again?"

"I don't think so. In fact, I want to. What is the purpose of His Majesty's sending Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi to Jiangnan? It must be a big event. Fortunately, Zhu Hao reminded me of this. First floor." Yu Chengxun looked at Zhu Hao with admiration.

Zhu Hao smiled.

Is this a lie?
He didn't lie at all. After Luo An arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he did go to Zhenjiang to meet Yang Yiqing, but Yang Yiqing refused to go out of the mountain. This was something Zhu Hao expected a long time ago.

Yang Tinghe was afraid of Yang Yiqing, so Yang Yiqing wasn't afraid of Yang Tinghe?
Now that it is clear that the center of the court is controlled by Yang Tinghe, who wants to go out and make trouble for himself?
The highest level of deception is to deceive people with what actually happened. Otherwise, Yang Ting and the people over there will find out that the new emperor has never sent anyone to Zhenjiang and never visited Yang Yiqing. Then this lie is still a loophole out of nowhere.

Zhu Hao said: "I think his purpose of coming to Jiangnan should be more than this."

"how you said that?"

Yu Chengxun asked.

Zhu Hao cautiously asked: "Brother Maogong, don't hide it. Let me ask you, did no one tell you about the Nanjing garrison before you left? I mean... Change the candidates of the garrison ministers to ensure the stability of Nanjing...you understand."

Yu Chengxun took a breath.

Originally, he wouldn't tell Zhu Hao these things, but since Zhu Hao helped him get such important information, he felt that he could make meritorious service in front of the old father-in-law...

The actual situation is that Yang Tinghe already knew that the new emperor had secretly contacted Yang Yiqing, and Yu Chengxun's news was not shocking.

But Yu Chengxun's trust in Zhu Hao has obviously deepened a lot, he said: "It's true."

Zhu Haodao: "Look, there are rumors even on the ground in Nanjing that Duke Cheng is living in the capital as a guest, and recently he often communicates with Mr. Yang Ge. The garrison yamen has not officially sent anyone to make any handover with us, isn't it because we think we are in the hostile camp?"

Yu Chengxun thought for a while, and said, "Then... the purpose of Luo's coming to Nanjing is to meet Wei Guogong and recruit for His Majesty?"

"Um."

Zhu Hao said, "You don't need to guess, right? Isn't it obvious?"

Yu Chengxun slapped his forehead: "Actually, you don't need to wake up these things. You can think of them after a little thought. I have been busy checking the accounts recently, so I ignored them. If it weren't for you today...your uncle told you Luo An I didn’t even think about it when I went to Nanjing.”

Zhu Haoxin said, you are not busy with business, but busy with drinking and drinking, right?
After arriving in Nanjing, the most busy thing for you was socializing with people, and then you took the account book Huang Zan provided us, made a superficial account, summed it up, and presented it.

What have you done?

Yu Chengxun said: "We should try our best to stop this matter, we can't just sit idly by."

Zhu Hao sighed: "We have no power to restrain the chicken, so how can we prevent Jin Yiwei from seeing Duke Wei? Unless we can meet Duke Wei in advance and convey the meaning of Elder Yang Ge... But the problem is that Elder Yang Ge didn't give us any evidence. How can I meet you?"

"Not without."

Yu Chengxun suddenly said something like a slip of the tongue.

really.

He was caught by Zhu Hao again.

When Yang Tinghe sent Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun to Jiangnan, it was obvious that the division of labor between the two was different.

On Zhu Hao's side, it's really checking the accounts, by the way, checking whether he is really working for the new emperor secretly.

Yu Chengxun's side...

After all, he is Yang Tinghe's son-in-law. Doesn't Yu Chengxun know the reason why his lips are dead and his teeth are cold?
There is no need for Yu Chengxun to cooperate with the new emperor, why not directly cooperate with his old father-in-law?Is it necessary to be the enemy's undercover agent?
If Yang Tinghe just sent someone to supervise Zhu Hao, why would he send a confidant "General" like Yu Chengxun?
There must have been some important errand arranged long ago. This errand must be done well without being suspected.

Basically, it is a question of military power in Nanjing.

Xu Pengju's position in Nanjing's defense is indeed a bit difficult to convince the public, because he is not as good as his grandfather Xu Zhan's reputation.

The so-called name is not right, because Zhu Fu, the Duke of Cheng, was used by Jiang Bin. Even when Jiang Bin arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Fu knelt down to greet Jiang Bin, while Xu Pengju and other officials just stood and saluted. Yang Tinghe felt that Zhu Fu was not a serious role, so he went to Now he is unwilling to let Zhu Fu, who is more prestigious, come back to serve as Nanjing's defense.

Doesn't Yang Tinghe want to control the military power in Nanjing?
Who is the right person to take charge of this matter?
Of course it is the son-in-law Yu Chengxun.

Zhu Hao pretended to be surprised and said: "Could it be that Mr. Yang Ge gave a letter? Forget it, I will not ask about this kind of thing, and you don't want to tell me. I made a slip of the tongue."

In fact, Zhu Hao already got the answer he wanted, but he showed a timid look and stopped asking.

Even though Yu Chengxun trusted Zhu Hao very much now, he didn't elaborate on this matter.

Because he also felt that the confidential matter that Yang Tinghe had given him could not be explained too clearly to Zhu Hao, an "outsider". After all, he was still investigating Zhu Hao now, and he couldn't be sure that Zhu Hao was not from the new emperor.

"Brother Maogong, maybe I shouldn't take you out today. If you drink too much, it's all drunk talk. Don't take it to heart. I have to go to the yard to wash my face and rest early. Say goodbye."

I saw that I had reached the gate of the garden.

Zhu Hao wisely went back to his yard alone, the meaning in the words, if you have something urgent, do it quickly, don't procrastinate and miss the main task.

Seeing Zhu Hao being so considerate, Yu Chengxun immediately felt good about him, and sighed: "It's time to take a good rest, then let's talk tomorrow."

After speaking, Yu Chengxun called his carriage over.

After confessing a few words to his subordinates, he left in a carriage.

Zhu Hao stood at the door and looked at the direction of Yu Chengxun's carriage leaving, with a smile on his lips.

"Young man, you really can't hold your breath anymore."
