Jinyi champion

Chapter 907

Yang Shen was in a hurry, and when he was talking to Liu Chun and Shi Ping, it seemed that he was the immediate boss. After speaking, he simply saluted and left, as if he was about to go to the next battlefield.

As soon as the others left here, Shi Jue and Liu Chun looked at each other.

Looking at his arrogant and domineering demeanor, it's no wonder that when the emperor considers candidates for the cabinet, he is the first to be picked out, which is perfect!
Who let someone have a father who used to be in power?
Who made him the second generation of the chief assistant?

After seeing Shi Pang, Liu Chun didn't go directly to the cabinet to check the house, but went to the yamen of the household department, found Sun Jiao, and told the truth about the matter.

Sun Jiao immediately made a judgment: "Your Majesty's original intention is probably to let Jing Dao enter the cabinet, or to regard him as a scholar of the Imperial Academy. The matter is almost the same."

It was Sun Jiao who understood Zhu Si as a person.

Now that Yang Tinghe is gone, the biggest obstacle to Zhu Hao's superiority has been removed. The emperor can't wait to promote Zhu Hao. As for Zhu Hao's own attitude, it doesn't seem to be that important. After all, Zhu Hao has always expressed his position in front of him, status and so on. Will not deliberately pursue.

But now the emperor wants to go against the civil and military wishes of the Manchu Dynasty and promote young people.

Liu Chun asked: "Then... it's just a cover for promoting and cultivating?"

"Ah."

Sun Jiao nodded, "Yongxiu is too sharp, and now he can't say whether His Majesty really wants to do something about the ceremony, but he is more anxious than anyone else, and he can't wait to object, so blatantly against His Majesty, even if there are some literati You have a strong character, but how can such a frizzy personality be able to bear the burden of a cabinet minister?"

Liu Chundao: "Maybe it's because the current Yongxiu is only a lecturer in the Imperial Academy, and there is a way out."

Based on Liu Chun's thinking, if Yang Shen really entered the cabinet one day like himself, would he still be as fearless as he is now?
not necessarily!

It is precisely because there is still a way to retreat, that's why we will go forward indomitable in doing things. When we reach the point where we can't retreat, we have to look forward and backward.

Liu Chun said again: "Actually, I still don't quite understand the extreme situation you mentioned, brother Zhitong... If your majesty's real purpose is to let Jing Dao enter the cabinet, or to make him a scholar of the Imperial Academy, there is no need to spend so much trouble , with His Majesty's current employment, even if you directly promote Jingdao, I'm afraid that Chao Wenwu will hardly object, right?"

Sun Jiaodao: "You can also see that His Majesty has no scruples in employing people now, right? Because of this, His Majesty will play tricks... Don't think that you have always been straightforward in doing things today. Have you not seen the means used?"

"Ah."

Liu Chun thought about it and had to agree.

When the little emperor first came to the throne, he was able to fight back and forth with a sophisticated professional politician like Yang Tinghe, and sometimes he would gain the upper hand in some matters. If he only relied on straightforward means, it would definitely not work.

Sun Jiao reminded: "You only need to know what you know in your own mind, and don't mention respect to outsiders... If you and I want him to make further progress in the court, we can't let him become the target of public criticism early."

On the matter of preserving Zhu Hao, Sun Jiao believed that Liu Chun had the same idea as him.

Liu Chun nodded heavily.

The two haven't known Zhu Hao for a long time, but one is Zhu Hao's father-in-law, and the other has been saved by Zhu Hao. If it is said that the two know Zhu Hao...not very deep, but only from some aspects I learned that Zhu Hao was working for the emperor.

Now they all have a goal, not to make Zhu Hao a Hanlin scholar or to join the cabinet, but to make him a stable official and not a leader.

In fact, it is best to put Zhu Hao in a local position as an official, it is better than staying in the capital to face the storm.

The euphemistic name is: I am doing it for his own good.

……

……

Things are still brewing.

As the party involved, Yang Shen was completely unaware of this.

It wasn't until the Hanlin Academy was discussing the matter that Yu Chengxun informed Yang Shen of the situation.

"...Yongxiu, there is a lot of rumors in Hanyuan now, saying that His Majesty summoned two Hanlin Bachelors to talk about joining the cabinet and the selection of Hanlin Bachelors. It seems that His Majesty wants you to join the cabinet and replace your father as a cabinet bachelor."

When Yu Chengxun said this, his expression was full of envy.

Look at other people, they are considered to join the cabinet even before they become bachelors at such a young age, and look at us... until now, we haven't even got a chance to be a student or lecturer.

Yang Shen shook his head and sneered: "It's just a blindfold. Your Majesty has already secretly planned to discuss the ceremony. This is to use my promotion to divert other people's attention. You must not fall into his well-designed trap."

Yu Chengxun said: "As the saying goes, where there is no wind, there are no waves. If Your Majesty has no intention of promoting you, why mention it to the two Hanlin scholars?"

Yang Shen didn't answer any more, and sat down with a frown.

He also sorted out the matter carefully.

The emperor suddenly asked himself to join the cabinet, did he want to gag me?Knowing that I like to be active among young people, it is expected that the Dali Council will be hindered by scholars, so I should promote myself first?

Yang Shen thought of Zhu Hao's words again.

Zhu Hao mentioned to him that the emperor planned to let Yang Yiqing join the cabinet and make Zhang Cong a Hanlin scholar.

If this is the case... Then I was used as a gunman. When others transfer their anger to myself, when the time is right, the emperor suddenly promotes Yang Yiqing and Zhang Cong. The level of resentment is not so high.

"Mao Gong, help me check the situation in Nanjing, let Dafu check together, he just came back from Nanjing, there is a channel there, I want to know, recently, Zhang Bingyong, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple in Nanjing, is there anyone in contact with him? I suspect His Majesty wants to recruit him into the court."

Yang Shen said cautiously.

Yu Chengxun said: "I heard that this person was admired by many literati when he was in Nanjing. Although he was only the young minister of Dali Temple, he had a close relationship with many officials in Nanjing's officialdom. Among them, Gui E and Fang Xianfu were the most important, and they discussed relevant issues with him. A matter of courtesy."

Yang Shen frowned: "This person was sent to Nanjing, but he is still bewitching people?"

Yu Chengxun shook his head: "The matter of discussing ceremonies is actually discussed everywhere, just because of you... Sigh! Some things will not be said in front of you."

Yu Chengxun reminded Yang Shen that you are the son of Yang Tinghe, and when others discuss the issue of Emperor Zongzhen, they will definitely not bring it up in front of you, but in other places...even in front of my son-in-law who was once the chief assistant, I don't have much scruples, almost It is to speak freely, so you will hear a lot of things you don't understand.

"Okay, you can help me check it out."

Yang Shen felt that things seemed out of control.

When Yang Shen walked out of the gate of the Imperial Academy, he was at a loss, not knowing how to deal with the current situation, and suddenly thought that Zhu Hao had Tang Yin as his mentor, and there might be news, so he ignored Zhu Hao's rudeness to him before, and his treatment of Zhu Hao. After a reprimand, I chose to visit again.

……

……

It is not easy for Yang Shen to find Zhu Hao now.

Because I don't know which yamen to look for.

When I saw Zhu Hao, it was already two hours later, Zhu Hao was in a hurry, as if he just met Yang Shen on the side of the road for a short time, and he was going to do his own business later.

The two found a teahouse and sat down.

Yang Shen didn't hide it at all, he mentioned the matter of the emperor looking for someone to join the cabinet, and what he was doing now, to prevent the emperor from reopening the grand ceremony.

Zhu Hao said: "I don't know much, I have told you everything I can tell you earlier."

The underlying meaning is that you came to me to ask me to find out information for you. I'm sorry, but I really have no comment.

"Respectfully, let's make it clear. Now that my father has withdrawn from the court, His Majesty will definitely make waves in the court by discussing the big ceremony. The reason why I ran around before was because there was news that the governor of Huguang's official book was published. A memorial mentions respecting Emperor Xingxian and re-determining issues such as the order of the ancestral hall, but until now, this memorial has not been shown to anyone, that is to say, the memorial was entered in Beijing in a secret way, and even the cabinet did not know... "

Yang Shen was very sincere and told Zhu Hao everything he knew.

Zhu Hao shrugged: "What does this have to do with me?"

Yang Shen said: "You are well informed, don't you know what His Majesty will do next?"

Zhu Hao smiled back and asked: "Brother Yongxiu, you have already said that now that your father is not in court, and someone is making a fuss about the big ceremony, how can only one person go to the eunuch? There are too many people in this world who are climbing dragons and phoenix. There are so many people with ambitions, is there only one governor of Huguang who engages in political speculation?"

Yang Shen frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Zhu Haodao: "Put yourself in the shoes of the governor of Huguang. If it is just the governor of Huguang, His Majesty will take it seriously, and the whole court will not take it to heart. But if there are related memorials in various places, especially Nanjing... remember what I mentioned to you earlier. The person who passed, if he joins a few people to play... Your Majesty may pay more attention to it, and even ask the courtiers to discuss it seriously... so as to bring up the topic, right?"

"Oh."

Yang Shen suddenly said, "You mean, His Majesty is still waiting."

"Maybe, the heart of heaven is unpredictable. I am a small person, how dare I make such a conclusion? But I think that the atmosphere of courtesies and discussions in the court has not yet emerged. If Brother Xiu is too radical, there will be no voice over there. Your voice of opposition Then flooded the ruling and opposition parties, guess what will happen?
"I think the result may be counterproductive, and even arouse some people's rebellious psychology, or some people seize the opportunity to stand up against you and put forward some contrary opinions in order to cater to the holy will... I'm afraid that by then you Not easy to deal with."

This time Zhu Hao really didn't speak from the position of the emperor, and even wanted to help Yang Shen a little bit.

Zhu Hao was just reminding Yang Shen that the emperor hasn't made a small move yet, so why are you excited?

Yang Shen said angrily: "Zhang Bingyong is really a young man, he won't let it go when he arrives in Nanjing, and secretly flirts with some unwilling officials. If he is allowed to talk about big gifts again, I'm afraid..."

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, it's better to block than not to talk about it. If he doesn't mention it, others won't mention it? It's not that easy to be on guard. In this situation, your father is no longer in court, and the court officials can't work together. , I'd better think of a way to get His Majesty to dispel such thoughts... It's hard to confront him head-on!"

The emperor has this heart, but he is the Ninth Five-Year Master. No matter how loyal a minister is, it will not stop someone from wanting to take the opportunity to rise to power.

How do you defend?
The so-called strict defense is easy to say, but Daming belongs to the emperor of the Zhu family. You, the son of the former chief assistant, don't you take yourself too seriously?
