Jinyi champion

Zhu Hao set off for Yongping Mansion.

He walked very low-key. He left the Chaoyang Gate as soon as the city gate opened in the morning. No one left the city to see him off, just like an ordinary official going to a local office. His future is uncertain, but he is full of hope.

Zhu Hao didn't seem to have many entourages, only a dozen or so, but there were quite a few escorts behind him.

Lou Suzhen did not go with him, but planned to follow Ouyang Fei to the caravan in Yongping Prefecture one day later. Zhu Hao planned to take the opportunity of going to Yongping Prefecture to become the magistrate, and move his business empire outside the capital. Expand, especially in manufacturing.

It is not necessary to open all the weaving workshops in the capital, and Anlu's side is beyond reach. It is better to open in Yongping Mansion, which is very convenient for supervision and scheduling.

After Zhu Hao left, the layout of the capital seemed to have remained unchanged for the time being. The ministers attended the court meeting on time, the emperor dealt with it casually, reviewed the memorials, and executed the court affairs, all of which were the same as before.

But Sun Jiao, who is an insider, can still feel something different.

This day the court meeting was over, and Sun Jiao was supposed to not have to go to the household department for work that day, and he could go home and have a good rest for a day, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he turned halfway and ran to Tang Yin's mansion.

This time he has learned a lot, so he sent someone to notify Tang Yin in advance, asking Tang Yin to wait for him at home, and by the way, he wanted to meet "Mi Jingde" who had met before, which meant that not only you Tang Yin wanted to wait for me at home, but you had better wait for me at home. Call your beloved disciple over and let me meet together.

When he arrived at Tang Yin's mansion, Tang Yin was the only one practicing calligraphy in the study.

"Where's Jingde?"

Sun Jiao was not polite, turned his head and looked around but did not see anyone, so he asked directly.

Tang Yin was startled, and then replied: "I went to Yongping Mansion with Jingdao."

"Also went to Yongping Mansion? Why?"

Sun Jiao was a little dissatisfied.

How can I arrange for this person to leave when I admire him?

Can you give me the official account of the Ministry of Household Affairs?

Tang Yindao: "It was Jingdao's request, saying that he would bring him over and be a guest, so that he could support him if something happened... Eh, didn't Jingdao mention it to Mr. Sun?"

Hearing that it was Zhu Hao's idea, Sun Jiao lost his temper instantly.

Originally, he mentioned that Tang Yin and Zhu Hao should support Jing De, a young junior who has no fame, but now that Zhu Hao has done it, he immediately promoted him to be a master.

To be Zhu Hao's "hidden face" master, the future is sure to be good. Doesn't this count as obeying his old man Sun's orders?
What reason is there to blame others?

"Mr. Sun, please sit down."

Tang Yin greeted.

Sun Jiao sat down without being in a hurry, and first came to the table to carefully read the ink-scented words that Tang Yin had just written, and couldn't help feeling a little bit moved.

He finally understood why Tang Yin was able to become a master of calligraphy and painting in the present age. As far as this calligraphy attainment is beyond the reach of ordinary people, even Shen Zhou, who has just passed away not many years ago, can only be compared with Tang Yin at most.

"Jingdao shouldn't be here, right?"

Sun Jiao turned his head to look at Tang Yin, and found that Tang Yin had arrived at the tea table. On the tea table was an unknown tea with a strong aroma.

Tang Yin was unofficial, and apart from practicing calligraphy at home, he just went out for outings, walked around, enjoyed the scenery of the capital, occasionally climbed mountains and went fishing, studied tea at home, and went to Zhu Hao's theater to listen to operas from time to time.

All in all, it was a very pleasant day.

This is the case on the surface, but in fact, from time to time, he will be called to Sixianju to serve as the emperor's staff, or he will be dragged to review memorials. A combination of senior self-contradictions of rural scattered people.

Tang Yin picked up the purple sand pot, filled Sun Jiao with a cup of tea, and said casually: "Three or four days' journey, if we arrive, we will send a message back immediately, it's just a matter of these two days. Come, come, Mr. Sun, have a taste, This is Longjing tea produced by the West Lake, and the villagers came to visit and brought it specially."

Sun Jiao came over, sat cross-legged in front of the cushion, picked up the teacup, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Have there been a lot of famous people from Jiangnan who have visited you recently?"

Tang Yin said with a smile: "Fu has distant relatives in the mountains, not to mention that Tang is in a busy city in the capital? Now that he has a bit of a reputation, naturally there are not a few people who come to see him... In fact, when I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I often interacted with local scholars. Right now, it’s just a courtesy.”

Tang Yin is not good at anything else, but his communication skills are top-notch. When he was not an official, he had a lot of cronies and friends around him. Now that he is "prosperous", even if he is not in the court, others think that after Yang Tinghe retires, Tang Yin will at least be a servant Unexpectedly, those who had met Tang Yin once came to the capital to visit as old friends.

After taking a sip of tea, Sun Jiao felt fresh and mellow, and his lips and teeth were fragrant, as if drinking alcohol. The tea lingered in his mouth for a long time before he swallowed it. Hu, you'd better see less outsiders, otherwise it may be bad for your future."

"Ha ha."

Tang Yin smiled very freely, "Jingdao said a word that fits my heart perfectly. People in this world are either trapped by love, or disturbed by fame and fortune. They are like walking on thin ice, but they are all bound by the world of mortals, and they are not as good as the outsiders there." one."

Sun Jiao frowned: "Jingdao said that?"

Tang Yin asked with a smile: "Sounds like Zen, doesn't it?"

Sun Jiao almost wanted to spit out the tea he just drank.

You, Tang Yin, are really shameless. What the students said, how can you, a teacher, use it as your life motto?It sounds like you are going to transcend the world of mortals and become a monk.

Sun Jiao really couldn't understand Tang Yin's mentality, so he naturally didn't bother, and continued to ask: "Recently, the court is discussing the southeast coastal defense affairs, which involves the preparation of Japanese in Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. I don't know what your Majesty is going to do. arrange?"

Tang Yin stared wide-eyed, and said in surprise: "Mr. Sun is asking me?"

Sun Jiao sized Tang Yin up, as if saying, I don't ask who you ask?

Tang Yin shook his head and smiled wryly: "The court has its own decisions about such matters. I am not in the court, and second, I am not involved in the planning. How do I know?"

"You don't know?"

Sun Jiao naturally didn't believe Tang Yin's nonsense, "You know that the Ministry of War is currently discussing the addition of a candidate for the Zhejiang Beiwa Presidential System. You are very popular, and even the people in the Ministry of War respect you. How can your majesty not discuss such matters with you? Woolen cloth?"

Tang Yin said helplessly: "Old Sun, I am idle in the mansion, I will not participate in court disputes, besides respecting Dao, I have never mentioned to me that I should go to Zhejiang to lead the army...Old Sun is overwhelmed."

Sun Jiao was dissatisfied: "Don't talk about respect for everything. Don't tell me you, Tang Bohu, only listen to respect when things happen? You don't have your own opinion?"

Tang Yin took a look, your old man Sun is actually in a hurry?

If it wasn't for Zhu Hao's relationship, you would come to visit me if you have nothing to do, and I would rarely see you?You don't know how difficult it is to enter my house, do you?
Now I'm actually blaming me for talking about Zhu Hao...

But think about it, what's the matter, if I don't listen to Zhu Hao, who should I listen to?Did you listen to Sun Zhitong?
"Mr. Sun, you should be very clear that many of His Majesty's plans come from Jing Dao's plan. His Majesty took precautions against the southeast coast defense in advance because he was reminded by Jing Dao. Now Jing Taoist is not in the capital, but it involves the southeast coast defense. Without him making the decision, I am afraid ……hehe."

Tang Yin is not in his position, so naturally there is no need to avoid it.

Anyway, you old man Sun already knows everything you need to know, so I might as well tell you straight.

In this matter, I really have to listen to Zhu Hao.

Sun Jiao frowned and asked, "You mean, Zhu Hao's approval is required for the defense of the southeast coast and the preparation of Japanese pirates?"

Tang Yin said with a smile: "The words are not pleasant, but they are roughly the same. Of course, His Majesty must be the one who makes the final decision, but without respectful opinions, His Majesty will not listen to or accept what others say.

"Mr. Sun must have thought that Jing Dao was the only one with power? In fact, if you think about it, you will know that Jing Dao can predict the tribute disputes that have not yet occurred several months in advance. Such far-sightedness is convincing, and His Majesty cannot help but believe it."

Sun Jiao originally wanted to say, you just pushed Zhu Hao, a young man, to the foreground, don't you feel a little guilty in your heart?
But after listening to Tang Yin's last half sentence, he suddenly lost his temper.

Think about it too.

It is true that the emperor proposed to rectify the coastal defenses, but in fact it was Zhu Hao who communicated with the emperor in advance. The emperor said it at the court meeting because of his absolute trust in Zhu Hao. Unfortunately, the chaos of paying tribute has been caught by the emperor. ... How do you let the emperor choose?

Listen to Yang Tinghe?Listen to the Ministry of War?Or listen to Tang Yin?
He must listen to Zhu Hao.

Put yourself in the shoes of the emperor, in fact, there is no better choice.

Besides, the emperor listened to Zhu Hao, and Sun Jiao had nothing to lose, so be quick!

Tang Yin poured another cup of tea for Sun Jiao, and continued: "Jing Dao is hard work for those who are capable. When he was in the palace, Emperor Xing Xian took his advice more often. When he was dying, Jing Dao was by his side."

Sun Jiao asked: "At that time, no one suggested that Jing Dao is not suitable to stay in the palace?"

"Why didn't anyone mention it? At that time, Yuan Changshi was still alive, and most of the planning of the palace came from him. Jing Dao and I were excluded in the palace. When the palace encountered a major problem and was at a loss, it could only be solved by relying on Jingdao to help me and intervene. Over time, Emperor Xingxian entrusted him with important tasks.

"What's more, Jingdao also teaches the subjects of today's saints, astronomy, geography, history, biology, etc... It can be said that he is inclusive of all rivers. Sometimes Jingdao's knowledge makes me feel that he is not a person in this world, but more like an alien. .” Tang Yin expressed his emotion sincerely.

Sun Jiaodao: "Who is his mentor? Isn't it you?"

Tang Yin shook his head: "Jing Dao has been refusing to explain that before me, he actually had a husband. I thought it was Wang Boan, but later when Wang Boan went to Anlu, I met him. I asked Boan alone, and he said that he had never met him. I've never seen a young man with such dignity and knowledge as Zhu Hao. It can be seen that Bo'an and him just met by chance."

Sun Jiao couldn't help taking a deep breath.

He knows Wang Shouren's reputation among scholars today. If Tang Yin is a master of calligraphy and painting, Wang Shouren is an opinion leader who is good at academics. , set up more forums to promote the study of mind, and now a powerful Confucian faction independent of Neo-Confucianism has been formed.

Even Wang Shouren praised Zhu Hao's knowledge, which not only shows that Zhu Hao is good at learning, but also makes Sun Jiao feel that Zhu Hao has an extraordinary fortune. He is just a young man, and he is supported by Tang Yin and Wang Shouren. A rising star in the political arena.

"Old Sun, if you have any questions about Southeast Coastal Defense, you can come to me. I will help you go to Xinyongping Mansion, and help you go to Xiang Jingdao to test and inquire, but please don't interfere too much with Jingdao's work in Yongping Mansion. After all, right now It's a troubled time, and the government is still undecided. As for me... you'd better let me be a bum who hides in the city, and let me live a stable life for a few days."

Tang Yin laughed.

The second update arrives, the emperor asks for subscription and monthly ticket support!Thank you!
