Jinyi champion

Zhu Hao slept until the afternoon before reporting back to the Imperial Academy.

Regardless of whether he will be assigned to the Ministry of Officials, at least he is now a member of the Imperial Academy, and he cannot slack off after all, although he knows that there is basically nothing to do when he comes to the Imperial Academy.

There are fewer and fewer colleagues in the Hanlin Academy.

Cai Ang, as an old man of Hanyuan, was not at home on vacation, knowing that Zhu Hao was coming, he came here specially to meet Zhu Hao, an old friend who was in trouble together, and chatted about the affairs of Hanlin Academy by the way.

"...The weather is too hot recently, and no one is willing to come to Yingmao during the long summer season. Many of my colleagues only come to show their faces in the morning and evening, and some people only come to work once in a few days. Two days ago, Scholar Feng specially ordered He said that people in the Imperial Academy should not neglect their official duties, and he would hand over the drafting of edicts to the people below, so that everyone can be fully trained, but you see, what is the actual effect?"

Cai Ang was also helpless.

The Imperial Academy is really not a yamen where hard work and hard work are the highlights. Many people here even take pride in being lazy.

From this point of view, Zhu Hao felt that there was nothing wrong with releasing him from the Imperial Academy to become an official.

At least I can maintain that kind of vigorous and upward spirit, so as not to enter the old retirement life early in the morning and evening.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhu Hao said with regret: "I'm afraid I will go to the Ministry of Officials to perform my duties in a few days. It is said that I have arranged the work of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, and may even be released directly."

Cai Ang felt sorry for Zhu Hao after hearing this.

Regardless of the fact that almost everyone in the Imperial Academy is lazy, and there is nothing to earn, but whoever says that they work in the Imperial Academy outside, it is a matter of [-] generations of ancestors.

It is also because the cabinet scholars are basically from the Hanlin system, without the gilded resume of the Hanlin Academy, it is even more difficult to become a cabinet veteran, and even many people in the six ministers are from the Hanlin Academy, so that the Hanlin Academy is shrouded in a layer of sacredness. halo.

Cai Ang asked: "You are in Yongping Mansion, haven't you already done everything well? Returning to Beijing early, but being assigned to the Ministry of Officials, it is really inappropriate... Oh, by the way, don't you know Mr. Liu Ge well? Why don't you talk to him, maybe he can help you."

Cai Ang doesn't like the kind of people who seek relationships, but in fact, he doesn't have a strong background, and he has no way to go through the back door. From a certain point of view, it is an absolute fool who doesn't know how to use resources.

Everyone knows that Zhu Hao has not been in the Imperial Academy for a long time, because he saved the life of Liu Chun, the former bachelor of the Academy, he was appreciated by Liu Chun and defended him everywhere.Now that Liu Chungui is a cabinet scholar, or if Zhu Hao intercedes with him, can he help Zhu Hao stay in the Imperial Academy?

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Do you think it's useful? Old Sun's department hall has been clamoring for me to work in the household department. Look at how it is now... In fact, it's the same everywhere, isn't it all for the court? As long as I can stay In the capital, if you have time, you can drink with my dear friend."

"This... oh! Then I can only wish my younger brother smooth sailing in his career in the future!"

Cai Ang shook his head with emotion again.

The two sides ended their conversation in such a friendly atmosphere.

In the end, Cai Ang wanted to go back and continue to study, so he said something special: "The little friend from the Wu family you want me to look for is going to study in the capital recently, and I will recommend it to you when I have time."

This is good news for Zhu Hao.

If Wu Chengen came to the capital, Zhu Hao would be able to meet this historical celebrity.

As for whether to use Wu Chengen as an official...

This question is a bit complicated. Zhu Hao would like to discuss with Wu Chengen how to write a tale of ghosts and monsters, and recommending it to the emperor is fine. As for the employment, it mainly depends on whether Wu Chengen has a chance to pass the exam.

He doesn't even have the status of Juren, so it's too difficult to break the rules and get promoted.

If it doesn't work, get him a supervisor, but there is no way out for a supervisor to become an official.

However, since Wu Chengen is willing to come, he probably knows that it is not an easy task to be a candidate. Since Zhu Hao has revealed his intention to help Wu Chengen before, Wu Chengen wants to see Zhu Hao, the awesome champion who can write "Journey to the West", with his own eyes. , and wanted to see if he could make a name for himself with Zhu Hao.

……

……

On the question of where to stay, Zhu Hao didn't plan to find Liu Chun.

But Liu Chun was thinking about Zhu Hao's matter in his heart. Knowing Zhu Hao's return, he still didn't know where Zhu Hao would be assigned, so he only thought that he would return to the Imperial Academy to continue writing, and he would pass the exam in three years.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Chun visited Sun Jiao, he learned from Sun Jiao that Zhu Hao might be transferred to the Ministry of Officials.

"Officials? I don't know how to say it?"

Liu Chun was a little puzzled.

Before Zhu Hao was about to be transferred out of the Imperial Academy, Liu Chun and Sun Jiao came forward to oppose it, and finally kept Zhu Hao.

More than a year later, when Zhu Hao was transferred to Yongping Mansion, Liu Chun had many opinions. At that time, he was persuaded by Sun Jiao, so he reluctantly said nothing. Now that Zhu Hao has been assigned to work in the Ministry of Officials, Liu Chun suddenly felt Wuming became angry, and his face was full of anger.

Sun handed Liu Chun the tea, with a lot of helplessness in his tone: "There is nothing wrong with the Ministry of Officials, but the premise is to get him a full-time job. If even Yuanwailang has a false title, what can he do? In fact, it's true. Why not send him to Huguang to be a vice-envoy to study hard for a few years, and with prestige, he can also study and accumulate qualifications to prepare for promotion in the future?"

Sun Jiao did not hide his true purpose in front of Liu Chun.

Liu Chun asked curiously: "Brother Zhitong, didn't you always say that you want Jingdao to stay in the household department as a doctor, and be responsible for mining?"

The good friend choked on a word, and Sun Jiao couldn't hold back his face.

I'm still thinking about it.

Aren't I doing this for the good of that kid Zhu Hao?Since it is for his sake, shouldn't you have the same thoughts as me, thinking that it is more suitable for him to be transferred to Huguang as a vice envoy?
Seeing that Sun Jiao didn't really want to talk about Zhu Hao's affairs, Liu Chun seemed to have an idea in his heart, so he stopped dwelling on this topic and said instead: "Recently, Yang Jiefu has been traveling around the cabinet and the six yamen, and he has been explaining the things after he left the court. Many arrangements seem to be intended for me to retire together. And the new cabinet candidate seems to be... Bang Yan."

Bang Yan is Shi Ping.

Sun Jiao said with a smile: "When we talked about candidates for the cabinet earlier, you and Bang Yan were rivals. His qualifications are inferior to yours, but he is waiting to replace you at this time? I don't think so."

"how do I say this?"

Liu Chun has always had doubts about Sun Jiao's self-confidence.

At the beginning, Sun Jiao mentioned that Liu Chun would definitely enter the cabinet, and he was very sure, leaving no room for it. He encouraged him to look forward every time. At that time, he didn't think he had a chance to join the cabinet, but he did.

When he was unsatisfactory in the cabinet, it was Sun Jiao who said that he would make a bright future. As a result, the emperor adopted his proposals more often. Knowing that this is his proposition, it seems to be extremely dependent on him.

The previous two times were rejected by Sun Jiao, and because of his increasing voice in the cabinet, Yang Tinghe deliberately targeted him and wanted him to retire together, but did not mention Fei Hong's resignation.

Where did Sun Jiao get his self-confidence this time, he felt that it was impossible for him to retire with success.

Sun Jiaodao: "Renzhong, at this point, there are some secrets that cannot be hidden from you... Didn't you ask me why I said that I wanted Jingdao to stay in the Ministry of Households, but encouraged him to go to Huguang to be the Deputy Envoy of Tixue? Actually I'm worried that Jingdao will join the cabinet in less than a year or two after Jiefu begs for the elderly."

"what?"

Even Liu Chun had always valued Zhu Hao highly and wanted to cultivate Zhu Hao into a pillar of the country, but after hearing what Sun Jiao said, he almost pushed the teacup in front of him to the ground.

Are you Sun Zhitong confused?Talk so out of tune!
And if Yang Jiefu retreats, Jing Dao will join the cabinet within a year or two?Where do you get your confidence from?
Sun Jiao shook his head, smiled wryly like self-deprecating, and said angrily: "You are the first, why do you have an advantage over Bang Yan and join the cabinet earlier than him?"

The muscles on Liu Chun's face twitched twice, and his brows were tightly furrowed: "From brother Zhitong's point of view, is there someone looking out for the sake of respecting Dao?"

Sun Jiao snorted softly: "There are some things that I can't say much... Why do you think Yang Jiefu has been explaining things to his colleagues recently? It seems that there is something he can't rest assured about? That's because he feels that His Majesty has staff around him secretly helping, even His Majesty It is for this reason that Yang Jiefu obstructed the transfer of Huguang to learn from Zhang Bangqi and enter Beijing to Hanyuan."

"Then... who is next to His Majesty secretly planning?"

Liu Chun couldn't help but ask.

In fact, this question is not simply caused by Yang Tinghe's doubts. The top civil servants in the court, who have some scheming and scheming, who can't see that the little emperor has not been defeated in the battle with Yang Tinghe, as if with the help of a god, what is unusual?
How resourceful and experienced as an official is Yang Tinghe?
The Emperor Zhengde in front was used to messing around and being capricious. Yang Tinghe was able to keep the relationship between the monarch and his ministers from collapsing and the court from chaos. Originally, with Yang Tinghe's ability, he had to deal with a fledgling son of a vassal king who had adopted him in his teens and became the emperor of Dazong. More than enough to say.

But looking at the past two years, Yang Tinghe often suffered losses in the confrontation between monarchs and ministers, and rarely took advantage of them, and every time he took advantage of them, he used some unconventional means.

And Liu Chun, as a member of the cabinet, is familiar with the content of the bill drafting and Zhu Zhu's criticism, and he is even more aware that the little emperor seems to have a unique talent in reviewing memorials, and he can solve problems ingeniously and skillfully every time.

This deepened Liu Chun's suspicion.

Faced with Liu Chun's question, Sun Jiao laughed as if joking, "If the old man said he respected the Tao, would you believe it?"

Liu Chun was startled, then shook his head firmly: "I don't believe it."

Sun Jiaodao: "Why don't you believe it?"

Liu Chun said impatiently: "Regardless of Jing Dao's talent and ability, in the past two years, he spent a lot of time outside the capital, and usually kept his own place in Hanyuan, and never saw him do anything out of the ordinary. But these two years It can be said that His Majesty Nian has never slackened in his control over the court...uh..."

Sun Jiao met Liu Chun after speaking halfway, then paused, and asked, "Do you feel that sometimes, His Majesty still slacks off, but it's not obvious?"

Although Liu Chun didn't want to admit it, he still nodded and said: "If you want to say that you are slack, it's not that bad. It's just that sometimes you take a lot of opinions from the cabinet ministers, and you get along well with the officials in the court, but sometimes you act aggressively and think carefully. But it is often unexpected, causing the atmosphere in the court to be tense..."

Sun Jiao smiled coldly: "If you compare these times with whether Jing Dao is in Beijing or not, you probably know why His Majesty is sometimes lazy and sometimes aggressive!

"The pair of teenagers grew up together, and they know each other well. What they show in front of people is just an illusion they played for the Korean and Chinese military officials!"
