Jinyi champion

It is unlikely that Tang Yin wants to be transferred outside, it is unlikely to be Zhu Si or Zhu Hao's intention, but Yang Tinghe's opinion.

Before formally taking office, the emperor's power must be weakened, and it would be safest to transfer the emperor's mentor who was on the surface.

As for Zhang Cong's raising the center, it wasn't in any of Zhu Hao's proposals, and Zhu Si didn't mention it in front of Zhu Hao. From the looks of it, it was more of a guess from the civil servant faction.

Among the new officials attached to the emperor, Zhang Cong took the lead for proposing a grand proposal. Now even if the emperor does not mention it, others will think that as long as Yang Tinghe leaves the court, Zhang Cong will be transferred back to the capital. Guess.

"Jingdao, you are the same age as Zhang Bingyong, do you know him well?" Yu Chengxun asked.

Zhu Hao nodded: "I have some contact with him. This person is eager for quick success after he finally passed the Jinshi exam because he failed many times in the exam. Maybe it is because of this that he is too radical in discussing the ceremony."

"Ah."

Yu Chengxun nodded, "Then you have to be on guard against him in the future, such a person is often not tolerant. Although you are the same age as him, I am afraid that he will not help you in your official career, but will secretly trouble you."

Yu Chengxun seemed to see through the official's mind.

It stands to reason that Zhu Hao and Zhang Cong were of the same age. If Zhang Cong gained power, he might use his friendship to promote Zhu Hao. But Zhang Cong is different. This lucky minister has been unsuccessful for many years, and once he gains power, he will act unexpectedly.

It is true that Zhu Hao is the No. [-] scholar, but he does not have the background of the new emperor. Zhang Cong will probably take action to suppress it... Why am I only a second-class Jinshi, but you are the No. [-] scholar?still so young?
Why do you have to be appreciated by Yang Tinghe and entrusted with important tasks many times when you were in the capital, but I have to be released all the time?Aren't you capable?I'm going to send you to a remote place, out of sight.

The evil of human nature is especially evident in the officialdom.

Even if the reality is that Zhu Hao has helped Zhang Cong, Zhu Hao also understands that Zhang Cong cannot be expected to "repay his gratitude". There is no such thing as kindness in officialdom. When the power is in your hands, you will not be soft when you strike back.

"Jingdao, "Wu Zong Shilu", you and I can't finish it by ourselves. Speaking of it, we have done a lot of things for it. On the day when the book is completed, maybe you and I will have the opportunity to return to the capital. The vigor of the official... Come on, let me toast you."

Yu Chengxun spoke a little bleakly, and from his tone, it was more like being sent off.

The joints involved are beyond Zhu Hao's knowledge. It seems that Yang Tinghe made the arrangements. As for Yu Chengxun's mistake, he lost Yang Tinghe's trust, or he was sent to other places for other purposes, which is unknown.

……

……

Then Yang Tinghe resigned for the eighth time.

It was already the beginning of July.

There are only six months left before Yang Tinghe left the court in history.

With Zhu Hao's help, the time for Yang Tinghe to become an official has actually been ripe, and Yang Tinghe can arrange for him to "return to his hometown with honor" without waiting for Yang Tinghe to resign again.

However, before Yang Tinghe received the formal official approval, a series of major personnel appointments and dismissals occurred in the court.

First, Luo Qinshun did not arrive at the Ministry of Rites to perform his duties as Minister of Rites as scheduled, and had to return to his hometown halfway because of the mourning system.

Lin Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, after he resigned many times, added the crown prince and Taibao to his post, and Jin Xianmin, the censor of Zuodu, was appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and he also took office immediately.

As for the post of the Zuodu Censor, Yu Jianhui, the governor of the Governor of Water Transport and the governor of Huaiyang, took the post of Yu Jianhui, but it will take time for this person to go to Beijing to take up his new post.

Peng Ze, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was once thought to be the first official of Yang Tinghe's faction to be dismissed from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. However, he said that he escaped from illness. It was retained, but the internal affairs of the Ministry of War were mostly handled by the two servants. Even Li Yue, who had previously served as the governor of the three sides, returned to the capital to help manage the affairs of the Ministry of War.

After a series of personnel arrangements, it seems that Yang Tinghe's people retired and replaced with people from the same faction, but in fact, Yang Tinghe's control over the six ministries except the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry has gradually weakened.

Because Yang Tinghe had resigned for the eighth time, and this time Emperor Jiajing did not publish the memorial to Yang Tinghe's resignation. Many people felt that Yang Tinghe might really be resigning from office.

Many people are already planning for the worst, that is, after Yang Tinghe retires, he will continue to implement Yang Tinghe's policies with his fellow faction Jiang Mian as the head and assistant, that is, to gather the military and government in the Northwest, reduce the government's financial expenditure, and expand tax collection in Jiangnan and other places. Reduce the burden on the people of the Central Plains...

A series of measures are actually a means of calming the people, collecting more taxes from wealthy places, increasing relief for relatively backward and disaster-prone places, reducing the emperor's expenditure on palace construction, and using the power of civil servants to limit imperial power. Let the soldiers and civilians in the Northwest live a life that will not starve to death, but also not have enough to eat, so as to achieve the rule of benevolence respected by civil officials.

On this day, Zhu Si went out of the palace and arrived at Sixian's residence.

Zhu Hao hadn't set foot there for many days before, but Zhu Si called him over that day.

After the two monarchs and ministers met, they did not talk about Yang Tinghe's resignation at the first time, whether he should let him go, but talked about Zhu San first.

Zhu Sidao: "Third sister went to Yongping Mansion, and when she came back, she lost her mind and insisted that she would become a nun as a Taoist nun. I respectfully ask you what happened to her? The queen mother was very worried. She originally said that she would help her settle down the son-in-law in the past two months." , now maybe..."

Zhu Hao said helplessly, "I didn't do anything to her."

"I know you won't do anything to her, but maybe she has seen too many dramas, and she is very unruly and willful. Take a look, is there any way to make her change her mind?"

Zhu Si put on a posture of begging his friends for help.

But what is involved now is a relationship problem, which Zhu Hao can't solve.

Zhang Zuo on the side was about to suffer from embarrassment, and almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. What the emperor talked about with Zhu Hao was the marriage of a princess in Ming Dynasty. , as if this is not what Zhang Zuo should care about.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "There is no way, unless the minister divorces his wife and marries her... His Majesty knows that this is simply impossible."

Zhu Si patted his forehead and said: "This is really a headache for me and my mother. Why did she fall in love with you? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have given you a marriage."

"His Majesty!"

Zhu Hao sternly reminded Zhu Si, don't mess around.

Zhu Si smiled and said: "I was joking with you, and I also know what this imperial sister is thinking. Since she doesn't want to marry, then let her go. Anyway, the princess of Ming Dynasty doesn't get married as early as the folk girls. , There are many married people at the age of 20, she is not an old girl now, maybe she will not worry about marrying. When she really becomes an old girl, maybe she should worry about it."

Zhang Zuo heard this, and this time he took two steps back to the door. Even if he heard about this kind of thing, he still had to pretend he didn't know anything about it.

"The one surnamed Yang is leaving. It is the eighth time to resign. It is impossible for me to wait for his ninth or tenth memorial!"

Zhu Si directly took out Yang Tinghe's resignation memorial and threw it on the table, which was regarded as officially handing over the hot potato to Zhu Hao, "Respectfully, I have always listened to you regarding the matter of my surname Yang, and this time is no exception. .I want to know whether this time should be allowed, and how to reply."

Zhu Si seemed to give Zhu Hao a convenience, letting Zhu Hao decide whether Yang Tinghe would stay or not, but in fact he gave an ultimatum, saying that he didn't want to wait any longer, and let Zhu Hao figure it out.

As an emperor, he could bear Yang Tinghe's resignation seven times, which is considered extremely patient.

Even if Zhu Hao hadn’t read the content of this memorial, he still probably knew what it was talking about. After reading it briefly, Yang Tinghe’s rhetoric was basically the same as the previous seven times, except that some begged the old to return to the land and hoped that the emperor would let him live for the rest of his life. If so, he also gave some advice to the emperor.

"Before I leave, I don't forget to regulate my behavior and let me listen to him. Does he really regard himself as a great hero who supported me?"

Zhu Si was very angry in his words.

Zhu Hao thought to himself.

Could it be that Yang Tinghe is not a great hero who supported you?

No matter from which point of view, whether you should be elected emperor at that time is a half-and-half probability, and it may even be less than half. This involves a question, whether to inherit the throne for Xiaozong's adoptive son, or Wuzong's adoptive son The question of succession to the throne.

It is also because Yang Tinghe and other civil servants have put an end to the establishment of a young master based on the ancient Confucian officials' thinking of "the state owns the elders", so they thought of choosing a son for Xiaozong and adopting a younger brother for Wuzong, so that Zhu Si successfully ascended the throne.

If you stand in the position of Empress Dowager Zhang, you must want to adopt a grandson for yourself. She will be the Empress Dowager and take charge of the government, which will make it easier to control the overall situation.

After Zhu Si ascended the throne, he quickly suppressed the Empress Dowager Zhang's ambition to interfere in the government, and it was mostly due to Yang Tinghe's credit, because civil servants don't like women to interfere in politics, and they hate their relatives even more. This has to be said... the two relatives of the Zhang family are really farts It's not a thing, and Wuzong's Empress Xia's family is the same, which makes it impossible for foreign relatives to intervene in politics.

Zhu Hao had analyzed these matters to Zhu Si many times, so Zhu Si patiently waited for Yang Ting and himself to leave.

As an emperor, one must always show his affectionate and righteous side, but in fact Zhu Si is the one who wants to get rid of Yang Tinghe the most. Who wants a courtier who is always pointing fingers at him to keep nagging?Even when Zhu Hao does things for Zhu Si, he often wants to follow Zhu Si's wishes as much as possible.

This leads to the next question. After Yang Tinghe leaves, Zhu Hao's family will inevitably dominate.

The rift between the monarch and his ministers may start from the day Yang Tinghe left the court.

From Zhu Hao's point of view, it is still necessary to secretly support a force that can challenge the emperor, so as to ensure that the emperor is always in a state of threat, instead of making him treat himself as a political enemy.

"Then let Yang Ge retire, within three days." Zhu Hao said.

Zhu Si clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, it's really great, now I can finally sleep peacefully, then I will wait for your good news!"
