Jinyi champion

When Zhu Hao returned to Beijing, his mother didn't bother to visit him, so he had to take his wife back to her mother's house first.

When he arrived at Sun's house, Sun Jiao asked the family to prepare a family banquet, but called Zhu Hao to the study alone, and planned to have a good discussion with Zhu Hao.

"...Yang Jiefu repeatedly asked to resign. Does that mean that he will resign soon?"

"If Yang Jiefu resigns, will Jiang Jingzhi take over as chief assistant? Or should he go down the line?"

"What's the situation with the six parts now?"

……

Sun Jiao's questions were many and complicated, and Zhu Hao didn't really have the heart to explain them to him. The only thing Zhu Hao could say was about Zhu Hao's own future.

"...Yang Yongxiu told me that the way for me to work as Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Officials seems to have paved the way ahead of time, and it is estimated that there will be results within three to five days."

No answer.

Sun Jiao actually knew the answers to many questions, but it seemed that only by speaking from Zhu Hao's mouth could he feel at ease.

When Sun Jiao heard this, he was silent for a while, and then looked at Zhu Hao eagerly: "Do you want to stay in Hanyuan? Or the household department? Let the old man talk about it for you?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "When I mentioned this matter to Mr. Sun, I just wanted to let you know. I don't think there is anything wrong with taking up a post in the official department. Walking around in different yamen more often is considered as experience."

Hearing this, Sun Jiao couldn't help but give Zhu Hao a supercilious look.

"You don't want to mention the affairs of the court, do you? Then ask Bohu about the matter, are you willing to talk about it? Bohu said that he went to Xishan, but he has not heard from him until now. Some people say that if Yang Jiefu retreats, Bohu will join the cabinet, what do you think?"

When Yang Tinghe wants to become an official, one person will benefit the most.

That is the backbone of the new emperor's faction - emperor teacher Tang Yin.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "It's out of the question."

Sun Jiaodao: "I hope so... Bohu is talented, but he is far away from joining the cabinet. I think if Yang Jiefu leaves, the cabinet will consist of these four people, and no one will be moved. Oh, by the way, after Yang Jiefu leaves, Your Majesty will Where are you going to be arranged?"

Questions kept coming, let's start with the big things first, and then get involved with the people around the new emperor and Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao still shook his head.

Sun Jiao was not discouraged either. If he couldn't find the answer to a question, let's change it. From his point of view, it seemed that Zhu Hao had many secrets hidden in him, and it seemed that Zhu Hao could be involved in everything in court.

……

……

Zhu Hao took Sun Lan home that night.

Near the house, the couple got out of the carriage and took a walk. On a hot day, there was no curfew on Jingshi Street, and there were many pedestrians, especially in some lively places, where there were many theaters, bookstores, and teahouses. There were many people listening to books and music. City people live nightlife.

Zhu Hao and his wife are protected by a large number of nursing homes, almost all of whom are guards in plain clothes.

Sun Lan talked about the situation at home after Zhu Hao left.

Perhaps Sun Lan also knew that Zhu Hao just sent her home and would leave immediately. Don't talk about it now, I don't know when he will see her husband next time.

"...Mother is fine, I always miss you and ask about you often, but because I don't have any letters from home, I don't have anything to say to my mother."

When Sun Lan said this, her expression was a little regretful.

Zhu Hao nodded and looked forward.

There was a group of people crowding around listening to books, and it was less than 200 meters away from the gate of Zhu Hao's mansion. Speaking of which, the lintel of the mansion Zhu Hao bought was not very dignified. Perhaps after he gained power, he should change to a place where dignitaries gather. Only in this way can it be quieter.

"Where does the master spend the night today?"

When they were about to reach the door of the house, Sun Lan asked a question.

"Oh, His Majesty has something to do, let me handle it."

Zhu Hao didn't hide anything.

Before he left, he made it clear to Sun Lan that he was the emperor's confidant, so he didn't have to think about whether Yang Tinghe's downfall would involve the Zhu family's problems.

Sun Lan said: "Father must have told you a lot about court affairs, right? Father seems to be very concerned about your affairs."

"Um!?"

Zhu Hao turned his head, just in time to meet Sun Lan's gaze.

Sun Lan then turned her head to the side, not looking at Zhu Hao for a long time.

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Lady, the family has worked hard for you, and this family is just like a family because of you."

Sun Lan was a little confused by her husband's sudden and emotional words, and was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

In particular, it was the first time Sun Lan heard the title of "lady" from Zhu Hao's mouth, and she felt very cordial.

"However, we still have to take care of everyone first, and then take care of Xiaojia. You and I are still young, and we are not in a hurry to covet the leisurely life behind closed doors. So in the past two years, maybe I have been busy with official duties, so I will leave the family affairs to you, my wife!" Zhu Hao said with a smile.

Sun Lan didn't know what to say, so she could only smile.

The door of the house was right in front, and the husband and wife were about to say goodbye. Sun Lan's eyes were somewhat regretful, but she still knew the general situation very well and didn't get awkward.

As Zhu Hao said.

The young couple will have a long life in the future, why should they care about temporary gains and losses?
……

……

On Zhu Hao's first night back in Beijing, he was busy all night again.

Zhu Si said that he only prepared a few memorials for Zhu Hao, but in fact the number was enough to keep Zhu Hao up all night, and Zhu Hao went to rest the next morning.

While Zhu Hao was sleeping, after the court meeting was over and Yang Tinghe left Fengtian Hall, he got a shocking news from Zhao Huang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, that the train under Tang Yin's repair had almost reached the foot of the capital.

"So fast?"

Sun Jiao came here with Zhao Huang, Sun Jiao thought that Zhao Huang had something important to say, but when he heard that it was about the train, he just commented in surprise.

Jiang Mian on the side said: "Didn't it mean that the pig iron must be made into tough fine steel, and the sleepers should be used to cushion the bottom so that the steel can be continuously formed into a line, so that the construction can be successful? Calculated in this way, I am afraid that there will be no tens of millions of jin of fine steel." , can’t do it?”

As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Huang is completely confused about what a railway is.

Ask three questions.

He knew that the railway was built at the foot of the capital, and he learned about it from the craftsmen sent to Xishan by the Ministry of Industry. Those craftsmen didn't know the specific situation, but only knew to follow the instructions. After all, the core personnel of the railway repair were all craftsmen carefully trained by Zhu Hao .

No one is born with this kind of thing. Blacksmiths seem to be able to strike iron with a hammer these days, but the construction of railways does not require blacksmiths to beat and temper pig iron. Do odd jobs and do some leftover work.

Sun Jiao knew that Yang Tinghe would probably be concerned about the consumption of money and food at this moment, and he didn't want to get involved in it. Before saying goodbye to these people, he deliberately reminded: "No matter how much it costs, the Ministry of Households has not allocated any money and food. It seems that your majesty I've made up my mind to make this thing.

……

……

Now that Yang Tinghe knew about it, it was no longer a secret to the official censor.

The officials immediately played, admonishing the emperor to stop building railways, and also told the emperor a series of historical allusions that cost people money and money. They almost wanted to compare the current situation of railway construction in the current dynasty with that of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty who built the Great Wall and Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Canals and other acts of foolish monarchs are on a par.

Zhu Si didn't like to listen, but now he was more mature and introverted than before. He didn't go out of the palace to complain to Zhu Hao directly, but complained to Zhang Zuo and others in Qianqing Palace.

"...Those people, aren't they short-sighted? If they stick to the old ways, can Ming Dynasty make progress? If there is no progress, if there are natural and man-made disasters in the future, or foreign invasions, large-scale riots occur in various places, how will they mobilize supplies for disaster relief, and how will they move troops? Defending the enemy and countering the rebellion? Wouldn't it be possible that even Guo Zuo would not be able to survive?
"I know that even if the dynasties are changed, their courtiers are still courtiers. Only the king dies in the country. How can a courtier die for the country? Whether it is a problem in my country, or my descendants inherit the country in a hundred years, the feelings are ultimately generous. They are not the ones going to die, are they?"

There was a burst of violent output when it came up, and Zhu Sixu babbled non-stop.

Zhang Zuo didn't know what to say, it seemed that the matter of persuading the king had nothing to do with Zhang Zuo, a good old man.

Not only Zhang Zuo, but all the eunuchs from King Xing's Mansion have a better temper than each other, and they don't have that kind of sharp-edged aura. Probably in the past, King Xing's Mansion paid attention to being low-key and introverted.

Zhu Si complained, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Are you sure how long it will take for the railway to reach the west of the city?"

Zhang Zuo said firmly, "Two months."

Zhu Si had a smile on his face: "That is to say, in two months, the coal from Xishan can be transported to the capital by train, and any goods in the capital can be transported to Xishan by railway, right?"

"It seems... so." Zhang Zuo said.

Zhu Sidao: "Then let the surname Yang go away early, don't wait until after the railway is opened, those civil servants will be instigated by the surname Yang, and make some kind of moth for me."

"But Your Majesty, Yang Ge never retreats, it seems..."

Zhang Zuo really wanted to remind Zhu Si that Yang Tinghe asked to resign not once or twice, but now it is the emperor himself who has been dragging Yang Tinghe away, right?Although I knew that Zhu Hao was in charge of this matter, shouldn't I also ask Zhu Hao, when will Yang Tinghe be driven away?
Zhu Si suddenly thought of something, and slapped his thigh: "I remembered, Jing Dao mentioned to me that during this period of time, I will pretend to be forbearing, but secretly do a lot of radical things, so that the surname Yang will pay attention. Put more on my side, I don't want to destroy it..."

Zhang Zuo was surprised.

Didn't it mean that before Yang Tinghe retired, the emperor should keep a low profile?What will happen after he leaves?

"Your Majesty, this... I'm afraid it's wrong?" Zhang Zuo said.

Zhu Si smiled and said: "You don't know much about this, do you? Jingdao said that in the past, it was not time to show weakness in front of civil officials. Now the time is ripe, and the surname Yang will leave soon. If I If he is still so cowardly, the one surnamed Yang will arrange everything and bind my hands and feet before leaving, and the result will be the same whether he retreats or not.

"But if I show my sharpness before he leaves, he can only take the next best thing and dare not infringe on my interests. And let the ministers know that Yang Tinghe said he was begging for his old age to return to his land, but in fact he was attached to power." , the more people surnamed Yang do recently, the more unpopular they become."
