Jinyi champion

Yang Tinghe took the initiative to invite Ying, and also stated that it only takes one day to solve the problem.

It can be seen that he really wants to do something.

As for his response method, whether to adopt a soft policy or to suppress with iron and blood pressure, the ministers in the court cannot predict.

After the court meeting ended.

On the way for several cabinet ministers to go back to the cabinet, Jiang Mian said with a bit of regret, "It's because I didn't think carefully that this situation happened."

After all, Jiang Mian is the official examiner in name.

But in fact, the main start was done by Shi Ting, and Jiang Mian was just a nominal examiner.

Yang Tinghe shook his head and said, "It's not important."

It means that even if you are not the examiner, the situation will develop to the point where it is today.

Jiang Mian smiled wryly and said, "Then...jiefu, how will you deal with this matter? I'm afraid it will cause too many criticisms from the scholars...From my point of view, we should focus on calming down the incident."

What Jiang Mian meant, let's try to adopt a gentle strategy, as long as the group of scholars know they are wrong, there is no need to use harsh tactics.

In Jiang Mian's view, there was no need for Yang Tinghe to use some extraordinary means to deal with the scholars. After all, the head of the cabinet was the leader of the world's scholars in name, and the boss couldn't use the younger brother as a knife, right?
"A combination of rigidity and softness is the best policy."

Yang Tinghe also wanted to be soft.

The previous self-examination by the court gave the scholars an explanation, isn't it just a soft policy?

Everyone has seen the result. Those scholars didn’t appreciate it at all. They also felt that the imperial court was weak and deceitful. They didn’t dare to do anything to them. Now that they dared to go to the Temple of Weeping, would the next step be rebellion?

It is true that you are scholars, but the target you are targeting now is not the emperor, but me, the chief minister of the cabinet.

Now that you are pointing your finger at me, if I don't fight back, won't I appear cowardly and incompetent?

……

……

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Hao entered the palace again, this time he was invited by Zhu Si and asked Zhang Zuo to bring him into the palace specially. He was dressed in a brocade uniform and guard uniform. Somehow he really thought he was a handsome young general in the army.

"His Majesty."

Zhu Hao saluted Zhu Si respectfully.

Zhu Si smiled and said: "Jingdao, you are here. I always want to call you Zhu Hao. I have been called you by this since I was a child. I am used to it. Suddenly, I always feel that it is a bit awkward... On the contrary, they always remind me, Let me remember that you have become a pillar of the imperial court, and you cannot always be called by your first name."

For no reason, Zhu Si actually cared about the title.

Zhang Zuo was smiling, as if he was very used to this unreasonable way of dialogue between monarchs and ministers.

Zhu Hao laughed and said, "It doesn't matter what your Majesty calls you."

Zhu Si got up, came to Zhu Hao, and said emotionally: "Speaking of which, I haven't shown you the palace, my home."

"His Majesty……"

Zhang Zuo was smiling all over his face, but after hearing this, he hurriedly reminded him.

Even if you don't avoid suspicion, or really regard Zhu Hao as your confidant, you can't just mess around!Bringing Zhu Hao into the palace is already easy for people to find out. If you take a tour around the palace, there are so many old people in the palace. Doesn't that mean you sold Zhu Hao?
"Do you need to remind me?"

Zhu Si frowned, "I know, now is not the time. In fact, I also want to introduce you to the queen, and her father... Logically speaking, they should be able to help you."

After all, Zhu Si is now a married "adult".

Although the heart still wants to have children, after the young man gets married, his reliance on his wife's family will gradually increase, especially for those like Zhu Si who have not long entered the court and become emperor, and their foundation is not stable.

This is why all dynasties in history have known that relatives are easy to interfere in politics, but relatives will always rise.

In terms of governing foreign relatives in Ming Dynasty, it is considered very good. Basically, it only appoints military posts in the Dudufu of the Five Armies, and most of them are temporary posts without actual vacancies.

They have the habit of being recruited by public auditions, and they basically don't marry wealthy and famous families, which makes Daming's foreign relatives influence, that's all.

The Zhang family is an exception.

However, the two brothers of the Zhang family did not live up to expectations, which means that they have missed the unique advantages and failed the opportunity of the good relatives of the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties to rise.

Zhu Sidao: "I'll turn around and tell Chen Guozhang to meet you."

Zhu Hao nodded: "I'm afraid that there are too many people, and some things are difficult to explain."

"I understand, but from my point of view, Chen Guozhang doesn't have much power in the court, and he doesn't even have a title. I'm thinking about what to confer on him...ordinarily, he should be proclaimed uncle, but Zhang's family is all enfeoffed as marquis or even the state. My lord, it should be okay on my side, right?"

Zhu Si now wants to rely heavily on people from his wife's family. Maybe when the young couple just got married and love each other, they feel that they should promote their wives and natal family.

But Zhu Hao knows very well that no matter how you say it, Zhu Si was a ruthless and ungrateful emperor in history. When the wings are full, I feel that I can soar into the sky. At that time, it is not easy to hold him.

Zhu Hao said: "It's better to follow the law."

"Okay, I'll listen to you on this matter."

Zhu Si still has the highest trust in Zhu Hao as always.

Zhang Zuo felt very awkward.

The emperor wanted to bestow a title on the head of the country, but he still listened to Zhu Hao?

So what exactly is Zhu Hao?
Is it too emperor?

……

……

It was rare for Zhu Hao to go to the palace, and he was still on vacation. Zhu Si hadn't seen Zhu Hao for several days, and he held Fa Xiao's hand and talked about many things.

He even asked Huang Jin to go to the storeroom to get a wooden box and hand it to Zhu Hao, which was full of books from the palace collection.

"I don't know what gift to give you, so I asked someone to find some rare books. You are used to reading, and you are also good at studying this. I can give it to you."

Zhu Si is very generous.

Zhu Hao quickly got up and bent down, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not accept such a generous gift."

Seeing that Zhu Hao was so solemn, Zhu Si waved his hands to signal Zhu Hao to sit down again, and said, "You can keep it as long as you want. What do we have to do with each other?"

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, these books are carefully selected by His Majesty, they should be suitable for you."

"The minister will take care of it for the time being." Zhu Hao said.

"Okay, take care of it for me, these books are yours for one day when I become emperor."

Zhu Si said with a smile.

Immediately, the two of them talked about the cheating case of the examination that was raging outside, and the matter of the scholars crying in the temple.

Zhu Si triumphantly said: "You don't know how happy I am to see a disgraced man surnamed Yang today, and now he won't check it out, and it won't work if he doesn't check it... As you said, as long as things break out, the relationship between him and the scholars There will be a huge crack, let's see how he handles it."

Before, Zhu Hao had expressed the interests of this matter to Zhu Si.

Not for the result, but to forcibly create conflicts between Yang Tinghe and ordinary scholars.

Up to now, everything that scholars do seems to be nonsense, for something that has no evidence at all, and they don't even know what they are pursuing... Could it be for the court to investigate Li Sunchen and Yao Lai?Or check whether Yang Dun is really capable of passing the Gongshi exam?

But now, scholars are getting more and more violent, and they are simply making trouble for trouble.

Zhu Haodao: "Scholars are now very angry, but they must be suppressed, and they must not be allowed to shake the foundation of the country."

Zhu Si smiled and said, "I originally wanted to ask you if you should add a fire appropriately. Since you said you want to suppress it, I will listen to you... What do you say next?"

Zhu Hao said: "It's still the old way. In this matter, His Majesty only needs to help Mr. Yang Ge openly. No matter what matters, as long as it is beneficial to Mr. Yang Ge, His Majesty will try to help Mr. Yang as much as possible, even It’s enough to show favoritism so that people can’t find fault.”

"Hey, I know, it's actually

It's just to make the scholars feel that I'm being coerced by someone surnamed Yang, right?Am I smart? "

Zhu Si looked embarrassed.

No matter how much hatred he had towards Yang Tinghe, at least on this matter, he had always listened to Zhu Hao and never challenged Yang Tinghe.

It's just that Yang Tinghe has come to his senses now. What the little emperor did was to push him to the front as a shield, and let Yang Tinghe bear the thousands of arrows piercing his heart from those scholars. As the emperor, he only needs to watch the excitement from behind, and he's fine. You can say a few sarcastic words... Yang Qing's family, you have worked hard, they all misunderstood you, but I absolutely trust you.

Zhu Hao said sternly: "Your Majesty, in the current situation, regardless of whether Elder Yang is in power or not, we should help him to show His Majesty's magnanimity regardless of selfishness. Perhaps now, Elder Yang is sure that His Majesty has contributed to this matter. Your Majesty's behavior is to embarrass him."

"Oh?"

Zhu Si looked puzzled.

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty should help him sincerely and let him tide over a crisis, so that he will feel that he has misunderstood His Majesty's good intentions with a villainous heart, so that His Majesty can win over the hearts of the ministers and make them feel , Your Majesty has used all his strength to help Yang Ge on matters related to the reputation of Mr. Yang."

Zhang Zuo was shocked when he heard Zhu Hao's words.

Can you still do this?
Don't add fuel to the fire and make things worse, but actually want to help Yang Tinghe?
Isn't it good to see Yang Tinghe's notoriety?

Your words...

It sounds reasonable, but you are pouring cold water on our emperor at this time, can your majesty listen?

Zhu Si was startled at first, then slapped his thigh: "I still respect you for your high level, why didn't I think of this?"

Finish.

When Zhang Zuo heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

Now in the eyes of the emperor, Zhu Hao is that Kong Ming is alive, Zhu Hao farts, and the emperor smells delicious. As for what Zhu Hao says and does, even reverses the front and back, so that the emperor is pulled up and down, the emperor will respect him very much.

It's like being sold by someone and helping count the money.

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty, on this matter, we must attack Elder Yang Ge's reputation, and not start with those scholars. From the eyes of those discerning people or courtiers, most of the scholars are making trouble for no reason, complaining and venting their emotions regardless of the cause and effect. What Your Majesty wants to win over is not the hearts of those troubled scholars, but the hearts of courtiers and generals, and more importantly, to make Mr. Yang Ge feel... His Majesty has a broad mind, and whether he stays in the court is meaningless."
