Jinyi champion

Tang Yin didn't know how to check.

Zhu Si didn't let him bother Zhu Hao, which meant that he had to figure out what to find out by himself, which would be the best result.

But in fact, the reality is also very slapping.

Because no matter how he investigates, there will be no results. It seems that he can only follow the guidelines given by Zhu Mingyang in the matter, and declare that the examination is fair and just, and there is no fraud or selfishness.

After two days, Tang Yin had been busy for a long time and felt extremely depressed.

It means that the emperor and the chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe, jointly invited me out of the mountain to investigate a "major case" that caused a sensation in the government and the public as a non-official.

Even he himself feels like a failure.

……

……

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

On the third day of March, the case had been investigated for two days, and Zhu Mingyang reported the preliminary results.

Zhu Si held the report in his hand, and looked at it for a while, with a calm expression on his face. Zhang Zuo, who was at the side, didn't know what the little emperor was thinking about.

"...Your Majesty, in fact, this time Mr. Tang is really in trouble. Now even the Jin Yiwei has not been dispatched, and Mr. Tang is only asked to go to the Gongyuan. At most, he has read the sealed files. If this is the case, we can find out who is involved. I'm afraid it's too embarrassing for people to make troubles or collusion between inside and outside."

Zhang Zuo began to speak for Tang Yin.

It's not that Tang Yin doesn't do anything, but that the enemy is too cunning.

Zhu Si put down the preliminary results reported by Zhu Mingyang, his expression was still cloudy, and his tone was very calm: "I know, there is no result at all."

Zhang Zuo said: "So from the very beginning, I didn't think there would be any results, but let Mr. Tang investigate, let him accumulate a reputation among the scholars, and let the scholars all over the world know that His Majesty has doubts about this matter..."

Having said that, Zhang Zuo suddenly stopped.

Zhu Si rolled his eyes at him, and said with a sneer, "You're getting smarter."

"Ah, slaves deserve to die, slaves shouldn't speculate on the holy will."

Zhang Zuo quickly knelt down and said in fear.

Zhu Si stood up from his chair and said, "You're right. As long as I order an investigation, I can give the scholars an explanation and make them feel that both I and the court have done something. As for the result, maybe those Scholars themselves know that Yang is now in control of the government, and no one can find out the results, so in the end they can only transfer their resentment to Yang."

When Zhang Zuo heard it, it seemed that he had guessed correctly.

It turns out that my IQ can also be equated with Zhu Hao, it seems that I have made great progress.

But then Zhu Si's words made Zhang Zuo feel a sense of frustration.

"But who said that the results can't be found at all? At that time, I will say what it is, isn't it what it is? Don't be smart when things happen."

After Zhu Si finished speaking, Zhang Zuo stood there in a daze.

Just because Zhu Hao didn't come out now, it doesn't mean that he will stay dormant forever. If Zhu Hao really comes out in the next step, the resulting impact may be to set off a huge wave in the court.

……

……

Zhu Hao has been "supporting his mother" at home with peace of mind these days.

Normally she doesn't come out of the study, but Sun Lan moved here from home, and now she also shows the appearance of being a filial daughter-in-law.

After several days at home, Zhu Hao finally welcomed his first visitor, not Yang Shen or Tang Yin, but Sun Jiao.

When Sun Jiao heard that his in-laws and mother were sick, he asked someone to bring gifts to visit him, but it was never suitable for him to enter the widow's house, so he specially sent someone to greet his daughter first, and when he arrived, he brought a doctor with him ...In this way, he didn't come alone, but came with cordial greetings, so that people could feel his full sincerity.

But in fact, when he entered the mansion, he went to calligraphy with Zhu Hao who came out to greet him, and he never even saw Zhu Niang's face.

"...In the past two days, the government and the public have been discussing the matter of the examination, and you really made a move. However, looking at the situation in the past two days, even if Bohu went to the Tribute Court to investigate thoroughly, the Ministry of Rites would not reveal any information to him. , I guess it will be nothing." Sun Jiao shook his head and said.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Yes."

Sun sighed: "The old man didn't come here to tell you this. You are in Beijing, but you never show up. You know that you are doing things behind the scenes, but you don't know exactly what happened. It makes people very anxious."

Sun Jiao is also a little addicted to being an official now.

Not because of the official position itself, but what he did made him addicted.

Seeing how Zhu Hao played tricks behind his back and helped the little emperor deal with Yang Tinghe, he found it very interesting.

Especially at the beginning, he looked down on Zhu Hao, thinking that he was too eager for quick success at such a young age. Through in-depth understanding, he finally found that Zhu Hao is a talent, not only good at planning, but also can always solve problems in some fancy ways, so Staying in the capital as an official is much more interesting than before.

God's perspective is so cool.

Sun Jiao knew that Zhu Hao planned all this behind the scenes, but Zhu Hao hid at home and couldn't come out. Sun Jiao scratched his ears and cheeks, feeling itchy so hard that he insisted on coming to find out what happened.

"What are you doing these days?"

asked Sun Jiao.

Zhu Hao said: "I've been drawing something for the past few days. I mentioned to Mr. Sun about building a train before, right? Oh, I didn't seem to mention it... a kind of iron shell that can emit smoke was built in Xishan, which can transport goods When we arrive at the capital, we will extend this kind of thing with strong transportation capacity from Xishan all the way to Xuanfu and then to Datong. This side connects to the canal and develops towards Yongping or Jiangnan..."

As if listening to a scripture, Sun Jiao turned his eyes to the things drawn on the white paper on Zhu Hao's desk.

"Is this what you ordered?"

Sun Jiao was very interested.

"Yes."

Zhu Hao nodded heavily.

Sun Jiao asked: "You went to Xishan earlier, you were busy with this, right? Where did the money come from? To build this thing, you don't have tens of thousands of taels of silver, can you hold it?"

Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Sun, it's not a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver. If only tens of thousands of taels of silver are needed... Look at my house, if you randomly move something from the warehouse, there may be tens of thousands of taels of silver...you can It wasn’t obtained through corruption or perverting the law, my family’s business owners already had this money.”

Sun gave Zhu Hao a blank look: "I didn't say you were corrupt and broke the law. Besides, you are not in office, so where is the opportunity to break the law?"

Zhu Hao laughed and said, "That's not true. If you want to take money and pervert the law, I've handled hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver in one year..."

Sun Jiao felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.

He knew that there was a small yamen outside the household department and the inner mansion, which was dedicated to raising money for the emperor, so that the little emperor could operate freely without the household department. Therefore, the emperor had money to buy some military supplies, and this small yamen needless to say , are all under Zhu Hao's control.

As the Minister of the Household Department, seeing other people playing tricks behind his back, even though he knew that the money should not belong to the Household Department, his grandson was still worried.

"Mr. Sun, didn't you come to ask me this? Is there anything else?"

Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Sun Jiaodao: "Xuan Da, I heard that after the year, the imperial court is already discussing the abolition of the positions of the general trilateral military affairs and the general Xuanda military affairs, do you know?"

"En." Zhu Hao nodded.

Yang Tinghe previously agreed to let Zang Feng go back to be the governor of Xuanda, isn't it just to prepare for the replacement of the governor of Xuanda in the next year?

Strictly speaking, Li Yue, the governor of the three sides, cannot be regarded as Yang Tinghe's disciple, but after Li Yue took office on the three sides, he appointed Peng Ze's old department more often.

In the frontier army system, the current two governors were not brought out by Yang Tinghe or Peng Ze, but most of the generals and officials under their command are related to Peng Ze. It is not an exaggeration to say that the northwest is now Peng Ze's territory.

Sun Jiao sighed: "Since you know, you should react appropriately, right? I'm afraid that you will make some earth-shaking things again."

Zhu Hao said: "I don't have any reaction, so let's withdraw, anyway, we will arrange it later."

"What do you mean?"

Sun Jiao glared at his son-in-law.

It took so much effort before to assign Tang Yin to the position of Xuanda Governor, but now he is dismissed together with Zang Feng, who has just been reinstated. How dare you
Feeling okay so calmly?

Then what were you working so hard on earlier?
Zhu Hao said: "The root of the problem in the Northwest lies in whether there is a war. Mr. Tang's stop seems inconspicuous, but it caused a division among the Tatars. In a year or two, the Tatars will have to consider the consequences of looting Ming Dynasty ..."

"What consequences?"

Sun Jiao frowned, "You take yourself too seriously, don't you? The Tatars will do what you want?"

Zhu Hao shook his head, "It's not whether they are willing to listen to me or act according to my wishes. It's because they haven't figured out how they lost at Juyongguan. They haven't even figured out our way, so they will rashly initiate another A new war? Even if the upper strata of the Tatars want to do this, or those big tribes want to do it, are the small tribes below willing to come and give away their heads without knowing the true strength of Ming Dynasty?"

"Uh……"

Sun Jiao was dumbfounded.

"Besides, the purpose of the Tatars is not to capture the capital. They are here to plunder the goods. They are willing to come if the payment is directly proportional to the income. If it is not proportional...they will lose people and horses when they come. , why would they do such a loss-making business?"

Zhu Hao made a good analysis.

Sun Jiao really wanted to say, do you think this is a business?

Can you still make a loss-making deal?
But Zhu Hao's words really make sense after careful consideration.

Besides, Sun Jiao could see that Tang Yin was a pawn in charge, and the real planner and planner was the young son-in-law in front of him. Since Juyongguan achieved a great victory under Zhu Hao's plan, then Zhu Hao is the most qualified to say The person who said this.

"Mr. Tang is in the capital. Due to factional disputes, he can't be appointed. If there is another war in the northwest, Mr. Tang can take over at any time... I guess the Tatars won't be stupid." Zhu Hao laughed.

Sun Jiao was a little depressed.

It sounds like Tang Yin is the military god of the Ming Dynasty. The purpose of staying in the capital is to be the door god so that the monsters of the Tatars will not dare to invade?
Sun Jiao thought to himself, looking at Tang Yin's appearance, he doesn't look like a guy who can hold the barrier.

"Mr. Sun, let's put it this way. Now that Mr. Yang Ge is in power for a day, whoever is in charge of military and political affairs in the northwest will be subject to his restrictions. The result is the same. The purpose of making noise earlier was to let Mr. Yang know that The situation in the Northwest would not be possible without him and Peng Shangshu."

"Now that we have proven our strength to them, it doesn't matter who is the leader and who is not."
