Chapter 786 The Silent Game

Ever since Yang Shen publicly revealed that the poem was written by Zhu Hao at the welcome banquet of the Imperial Academy, Zhu Hao's reputation exploded instantly.

Before, Zhu Hao was considered well-known, but it was more because he was the number one scholar in the examination, and he was a rare young talent in the world.

This time, he became famous directly.

Recently, Zhu Hao is sitting at home, and invitations to him to participate in various literary gatherings in the capital are flying in like a snowflake. An open-minded person who goes after fame.

Even Tang Yin knew about it.

"...When I went fishing, I heard someone mention that others don't know who I am, Mr. Tang, but they know that Mr. Tang has taken in a good student. As a gentleman, I feel very proud."

Tang Yin went to Sixianju to review the memorabilia with Zhu Hao, but couldn't help but compliment Zhu Hao a few words.

Tang Yin was ordered by Zhu Hao to come to Sixianju to work.

An idler, want to hide at home and be lazy every day?Even if you are given a job, it is to let you recuperate your body and avoid early hiccups, but it does not say that you are asked to hide from the world and become a casual person.

It is tantamount to throwing the problem to Sun Jiao.

"Did you make a move?"

It is also because Zhu Hao issued some edicts in the name of the emperor in the recent memorials to Zhu, and did not use the cabinet's proposals for capital and local affairs, making the cabinet think that the emperor wanted to use the memorials to make a fuss.

Although Yang Tinghe is in charge in name, and Yang Tinghe's consent is required for major events to be drafted, but in fact many things are not directly intervened by Yang Tinghe.

But as Zhu Hao said.

Regarding the details of Emperor Zhu's approval, among the other cabinet ministers, only Jiang Mian was qualified to discuss the gains and losses with Yang Tinghe. Even the cabinet minister Mao Ji, who ranked third in the cabinet, had little say in these matters.

Want to create a third faction besides the emperor and Yang Tinghe faction in the court?

Tang Yin said: "Shouldn't we show weakness at this time?"

Yang Tinghe is not someone who just sits and waits for death, he reacts immediately, and intentionally poses a problem for the little emperor.

……

But it is rare to fight directly with the emperor.

Tang Yin lazily agreed, "But I'm afraid that some people won't bother to admit that they know us."

I, Zhu Hao, haven't even gotten the chance for such a good thing, so why should I let you enjoy this kind of leisurely and comfortable life?

In Yang Tinghe's view, as long as the emperor is not given a chance as much as possible when drafting the bill, the cabinet can basically have absolute control over the court affairs.

"Showing weakness? That was a thing in the past. If we still show weakness everywhere today, it will make people feel easy to bully. Let's put it this way, Yang Ge is always in power, and it is the last desperate fight!"

Not every one of the previous Zhu criticisms was followed by what the emperor said.

Yang Tinghe felt powerless about this.

Zhu Hao glared at Tang Yin, and said: "Shao Yin Yang is strange, Mr. Tang, I asked you to do business, not to listen to your casual entertainment. Shall we finish approving this mountain of memorials first? After the beginning of spring, there are many backlogs. The remaining government affairs should be resolved."

Don't you old man Sun like to show off?The issue of appropriation for coastal defense in the southeast has made you look good. Now it is about the governor of the Xuanfu dispatched by the northwest, who is still recommended by you. The Northwest wants money from the imperial court. Of course, you, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, are responsible for everything. I do it myself?
This is actually Zhu Hao looking for something for Sun Jiao to do.

It was not simply because Tang Yin attacked the person in charge of ceremonies, but also because... such lazy things, even if they were done, were done by the emperor.

Didn't your grandson have a lot of energy to come to your daughter's husband's house to discuss the family's shortcomings?Then find something more for you to do, let you burn out, and see if you still have the heart to argue with the emperor.

The time for each memorial to arrive in Beijing is different, and the time for the envoy to hand it over is also different.

"That's right."

Jiang Mian was very worried.

What's more, the emperor also has a monster-level Zhu Hao, who specifically makes a fuss about Yang Tinghe and the cabinet members' proposals. As the saying goes, you have a good plan and I have a wall ladder. You old man Yang will not think that the cabinet has the power to vote. , the emperor wants to listen to you, right?

There are many things that need to be considered by the cabinet. Not everyone can handle everything with several cabinet ministers. Everyone has different specialties. If someone is sick or not on duty, it will be classified as the part handled by the cabinet minister. , it will be slightly delayed.

Tang Yin originally wanted to discuss with Zhu Hao a few more words, but after observing Zhang Zuo's reaction, he nodded his head, acquiescing to Zhu Hao's attitude.

There are no doors.

But now the emperor is not coerced by the cabinet in order to make government orders, and many of the approved edicts are sent directly to the six government offices, without giving the cabinet a chance to renegotiate.

Not everything in the cabinet can be dealt with in the same day.

Zhang Zuo looked cautious after hearing this.

It's like Yang Tinghe will retreat from the court at any time.

Otherwise, why is it up to the emperor to decide after the cabinet draft, instead of the emperor's opinion for your cabinet to decide?
Whoever has the right to decide will have an absolute advantage.

Isn't reviewing memorials what the emperor should do in name?

Zhu Hao said sternly: "The cabinet deliberately slowed down the progress of drafting the bills. In the past, they had to be sent to the inspector of ceremonies on the same day. Now some of the ministers can stay overnight in the secretary of general affairs, and the cabinet has to be delayed for a day or two... ...In the past, His Majesty stayed in the middle school and did not release it, but now the cabinet is trying to delay the report...Do you have anything to say?"

The memorials are not all suppressed, but given to you in batches. In the past, what was important and what was not was decided by the chief of rites or the emperor. Now the cabinet will make a decision for you, depending on what spells your emperor has.

Just go fishing?

Tang Yin sighed: "I don't know why, even though there were many in the past, it didn't reach this level, right? Or is it that the supervisor of ceremonies or you are lazy every day?"

The biggest problem in Northwest China is lack of money.

Tang Yin asked: "So you want to come up with something to make those people in the cabinet circle around?"

Jiang Mian said: "Your Majesty hasn't had many memorials to stay in China recently, but for the Northwest... Judging from Zhu's criticism, it is mostly not painful. Apart from the question of whether to retain the general system, the Northwest now mostly involves money and food, and Your Majesty Now I rely more on the Ministry of Accounting, but...the Ministry of Accounting has not been doing things very efficiently recently."

"...Jiefu, the situation is likely to get worse. His Majesty has secretly sent people to the Sixth Ministry many times to do things with private instructions and other orders without the approval of the cabinet. This is against the imperial regulations. It is illegal but reasonable. Now that there are too many people in the DPRK, it is no longer a matter of being my cabinet..."

But after the Hongzhi Dynasty, the cabinet actually had the power of the prime minister. After Zhu Si ascended the throne, the cabinet actually controlled the main government offices in the court. In many cases, it is necessary to do things under the specifications of the cabinet.

It costs money to do everything, and of course food is also needed. The results of these memorials and Zhu Zhu's approval are all for the Ministry of Households to dispose of as appropriate.

Zhang Zuo smiled and said: "Now, everyone knows Mr. Zhu's reputation, and if they tell it later, they will say that they know Mr. Zhu, and their face will be radiant."

Officials crushed people to death.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly asked: "Mr. Zhu, does this mean that the cabinet has taken action?"

……

But now that Yang Tinghe is on the cusp of the storm, he deliberately avoids confronting the emperor head-on. In addition, the time for the court meeting is limited, so it is impossible to argue with the emperor on everything, which also makes the emperor's opinions directly used in the government affairs. In fact, the cabinet's proposal is tantamount to saying nothing.

Now Yang Tinghe feels that his biggest crisis in the court has come. He can only control everything as much as possible. There are some memorials that he knows that the emperor may make a mess. He has to do some delay processing. The drafting is also more cautious, so that the emperor can't find faults.

If the emperor wants to contradict the cabinet's votes in everything, it will actually shake the foundation of the court's stability.

Although for the cabinet, there is still a window for the court to discuss matters.

The cabinet originally acted as an advisor to the emperor.

Yang Tinghe has indeed made some changes recently.

The last head-to-head confrontation was still about the selection of the museum. Yang Tinghe had someone ask the Queen Mother Zhang for instructions, and asked the Queen Mother Zhang to help make peace, but it hit a wall again. Make a fuss about it.

Zhu Hao smiled, "When will the cabinet not take action? It's just that we have done things on the bright side, but we can't lose. They use tricks, and we have to keep up with them. This is called a silent game. See Let's see who can't stand it first!"

After Emperor Zhu’s approval, there is actually another review process, that is, the cabinet and the Imperial Academy. The cabinet can seal off and return the places in the emperor’s approval that violate the system. The reason why the subsequent imperial edict was repeatedly rejected.

He closed his eyes and asked, "Is there any result in the Northwest military affairs report? If His Majesty acts recklessly in such matters, justice must be discussed in the court."

The cabinet vote seems to be exercising the authority of the prime minister, but because there is still a procedure of Zhu Zhu's approval, the emperor naturally stands on the commanding heights, which makes the cabinet feel a little helpless with regard to court affairs.

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. still understands me. The way they counterattacked this time is not glorious. The courtiers have no responsibility to decide the priority of the memorial, and the cabinet has no right to judge, but now the cabinet has put itself above the six ministries. Interfering with His Majesty's control over the affairs of the DPRK and China, if we ignore it, then we will be too weak."

This is different from the past when the emperor thought that the proposal was inappropriate and would allow the cabinet to draft the proposal again. The emperor directly seized the authority to add Zhu's approval to the proposal.

Zhu Hao made the matter very serious.

But even if he dealt with it carefully, Yang Tinghe is still a little bit burnt out recently.

Zhu Hao handed over the problem to Sun on behalf of the emperor.

But Sun Jiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The means used by the Sun Exchange are only one thing, that is, to thoroughly implement the "dragging formula" and not to be active in doing things. Even if the Northwest Hundred Thousand urgently urges the harvest of the salt tax to buy grain, the Ministry of Households has the right to ignore it. If someone in the court mentions , Sun Jiao can also evade and say that it is still in preparation.

Yang Tinghe said: "Sun Zhitong's move is not for His Majesty, nor for the world, but for himself!"
