Chapter 914 The Secret Brain Tank

Tang Yin's residence.

Qiao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came to visit in person, the main purpose was to talk to Tang Yin about the Great Rites.

"... Your Majesty attaches great importance to discussing etiquette, but it violates the foundation of etiquette. Bohu, you are an official in the court now, and you walk around in front of Your Majesty more. You should take it as your duty to persuade Your Majesty and bring order out of chaos."

Qiao Yu came to see Tang Yin to put pressure on him.

The emperor doesn't care, but you, Tang Yin, as a literati, don't you care about your posthumous fame?Moreover, I, a minister of the official department, came to see you, and made it clear that I was warning you about your future career prospects, or in other words, exchanged with you at an equivalent value.

As long as you stand on the side of "successors and successors" on the issue of great ceremonies, then your future official career will definitely not only be a review of the Imperial Academy, but it is not impossible for you to be a minister of the six ministers, a minister, or even join the cabinet.

But Tang Yin sighed wistfully: "I'm afraid there is nothing I can do."

The refusal was straightforward.

Thought you were the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I would sell your face?

It's useless even if the king of heaven is here!
The emperor asked me to do things, but many times I still shirk and quit. Do you really think that official career can tie me down?
Qiao Yu frowned, and asked, "Could it be that Bohu you have something to hide?"

Tang Yin shook his head and smiled lightly: "I'm a poor scholar, entering the court to be an official is just to make the most of the situation, and most of the time it's not my own wish. Since I entered Xingwang's mansion, I have asked His Majesty to resign and return to Gusu many times, but until now I have not been able to fulfill my wish. Achieved. As for the matter of discussing the ceremony, I have not participated in it from the very beginning, and I have not raised any opinions to His Majesty, how difficult is it to persuade him?"

Qiao Yu would not give up just because of Tang Yin's excuses, and immediately said in an aggressive tone: "Maybe you co-sign the memorial to persuade His Majesty?"

Since you said that you are incapable of persuading, let's join forces with us.

We will give you ways and means of persuasion. As long as you turn against the water and stand on our side, it will make the emperor's theory of "succession and not succession" untenable. After all, you are the emperor's teacher in name, and even the emperor's teacher is determined Against it, the emperor's prestige would be dealt a heavy blow.

Tang Yin said: "If Qiao Shangshu insists on forcing, then I can only say that there is nothing I can do to help! Originally, I don't want to stand in line, whether it's a good reputation or a good prospect, from the first day that I, Tang, entered the court, I was doomed to be difficult to keep everything , This life has been ups and downs, Tang Mou understands that this world is difficult and full of thorns, and only hopes that there will be a pure land in the future... don't do what he thinks."

Threat?

play?What about trouble?
I, Tang Yin, have always been soft and not tough, but you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and you are awesome?Or do I want to give you face when you come to visit?Threatening with my posthumous name?

I'm sorry, I, Tang, have already lost my reputation when I was involved in the inscription case. In this life, I have swaggered through the market with the name of a famous person. If you want to stigmatize me, just come!

Who is afraid of who?

Qiao Yu didn't expect that Tang Yin's words would be so "informal", and he didn't follow the routine at all.

It seems that he doesn't even have a literati character, and he doesn't care about his reputation at all. Qiao Yu couldn't help thinking about it: "Tang Bohu is a master of both poetry and painting. He is a well-known figure in the contemporary literary world. How can he talk and act like an unreasonable man? Just like this, he is still the emperor. Sir? How did he get to where he is today?"

Tang Yin probably also felt that he was a little rude, and continued: "Qiao Shangshu, instead of wasting your time with me, why not think about who is helping His Majesty behind the scenes...Since Your Majesty can raise the matter of discussing etiquette, he must be very sure. Not to show up on matters of etiquette is the biggest concession I can make!"

I, Tang, still talk about literati integrity, so what if I tell you clearly that someone is helping the emperor behind the scenes?You'd better bring that kid Jingdao out and teach him a lesson in your own way. I would also like to thank you for Jingdao. Finally, there is someone who can curb this kid's arrogance.

Qiao Yu thought Tang Yin had given in, and asked, "Who is it?"

Tang Yin shrugged indifferently: "Excuse me for being difficult to tell!"

Qiao Yu wanted to hit someone when he heard that.

Tang Yin is simply a representative of a strange literati, he obviously still cares about the decency of a literati, but he looks as if he is so angry that he will not pay his life...

But Tang Yin's words also seemed to remind Qiao Yu that the person in front of him knew who the emperor's helper was, but he just refused to say it clearly.

Qiao Yu couldn't help thinking about it: "Could it be true that Jiefu mentioned that His Majesty has someone to help you when he left the court?"

……

……

Confused, Qiao Yu left the Tang residence.

When going out, he happened to bump into Huang Jin, the eunuch who came to give gifts.

Qiao Yu didn't want people to know that he came to visit Tang Yin, but now he was blocked at the door, very helpless, after a brief salute to Huang Jin, he left in a sedan chair in disgrace.

Tang Yin invited Huang Jin into the courtyard, and asked: "I don't know why Your Majesty sent Mr. Huang to Tang's residence?"

"It was ordered by Mr. Zhu."

Huang Jingong said sincerely.

Tang Yin was a little displeased: "What does it mean to be respectful? You don't want me to play against the civil servants when discussing ceremonies, do you?"

Huang Jin hurriedly explained: "How is this possible? Mr. Zhu mentioned that Mr. Tang will never be embarrassed. As for this gift...it was not given by Mr. Zhu, but by the Queen Mother."

Tang Yin was confused again after hearing this.

Is it the emperor who wants to give him a gift?Or is it a gift from the queen mother?Or maybe Zhu Hao gave him a gift?

He couldn't help taking a sized look at Huang Jin, as if thinking of something different... Huang Jin was using Zhu Hao as a shield.

Push everything on Zhu Hao?
The presents were brought in, and Tang Yin led his people to count them briefly, and then he knew that they were worth a lot, and the total was probably 500 taels of silver, which is definitely a big deal for a reward from the royal family.

"...The empress dowager mentioned that it was Mr. Tang who made great contributions to the dragon and helped His Majesty accomplish many important things. Now that the train from Xishan to the capital has been repaired, Mr. Tang has worked hard and worked tirelessly. He should be rewarded heavily... These are all It was moved out of the estate of Prince Xing's mansion for Mr. "

What Huang Jin meant was that this was a personal reward and had nothing to do with the emperor, but that the queen mother wanted to express her gratitude.

Tang Yin said: "It is the duty of a subject to do things for His Majesty, it should not be like this."

Huang Jin said with a smile: "Sir, don't want to refuse, this is the Queen Mother's wish. The Queen Mother also wants to help your Majesty more in handling affairs and help the country... Our family is leaving."

Originally, Tang Yin thought that Huang Jin would convey some words from the emperor or queen mother.

Gifts, there is always something to please, right?

In the end, it seemed that Huang Jin was only given the task of giving gifts, and didn't ask for anything.

But Tang Yin still found some clues from Huang Jin's words... It seems that his official position will continue to be raised.

Since the queen mother said so, it must be what Zhu Si told his old mother. Thinking that the emperor would not let him enter the Imperial Academy for review for no reason, the next step may be to promote him to become a Hanlin bachelor, or even enter the cabinet as a cabinet old.

Really...

"By the way, Eunuch Huang, if you have time, tell Jingdao that I am sick recently and need to rest at home. If there is anything else, let him take care of it. In addition, no matter who comes to visit, I will see you, but I will never make trouble for him, let him handle it by himself!"

Huang Jin was quite puzzled by Tang Yin's words, but he understood after a little thought.

No matter what position the emperor meant Tang Yin would assume in the future, Tang Yin didn't want to be involved in the matter of the ceremony.

"Yes Yes."

After Huang Jin saluted, he formally led the people away.

……

……

That night.

Enter Jiang Mian's residence.

Qiao Yu came to visit and told the truth about meeting Tang Yin in the morning.

As the chief assistant, Jiang Mian was very aware of Yang Tinghe's worries before, and Qiao Yu's remark to Tang Yin clearly intended to remind the emperor that there was someone behind him to help him, which made Jiang Mian pay more attention.

"It seems that His Majesty has really prepared for this move." Jiang Mian said.

Qiao Yu said: "Previously, the Ministry of Rites was eager to discuss the matter of ceremonies, and I felt that it was wrong. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been doing a lot in the court. Even Jiefu reminded him to be cautious when he was in court. Now this situation, Since His Majesty wants to take advantage of great gifts to rule the court, I am afraid that he will also take the opportunity to suppress those who do not follow orders, and many behind-the-scenes instigators will surface and rise rapidly in the court."

"Ah."

Jiang Mian just nodded, probably still thinking about who this person is.

Qiao Yu asked: "Before Jiefu left, did you mention who this person is?"

Jiang Mian looked up at Qiao Yu, and said: "Whether this person exists is another matter. If there is such a person, he can not show his traces for several years, which shows that he has a deep mind. Why did he rush out this time? If it is a literati, Then you should know the taboos, and you will definitely not risk the world's discord and go against the wind."

Qiao Yu probably understood that Yang Tinghe probably didn't know who this person was, or even if Yang Tinghe probably guessed it, he didn't mention it to Jiang Mian. That's why Jiang Mian said that whether this person exists is another matter.

Qiao Yu smiled wryly: "There are fewer people in this world who go against the wind? Zhang Bing employs people in Nanjing, how many people cling to them? This is the way of the world."

This is also what the top civil servants are worried about.

People who are officials seem to care about the decency of literati, but sometimes for the sake of profit, they can drop everything and sharpen their heads to drill upwards.

Qiao Yu said again: "I heard that Zhang Bingyong will not arrive in the capital until at least seven or eight days later, and the ceremony in a few days will probably not be in time. Since His Majesty asks people to discuss it publicly, someone will naturally come forward for it. Tang Yin intends to remind this person If it exists, we should be on guard.”

Jiang Mian asked: "Is it one person, or many people?"

"This……"

Qiao Yu couldn't answer.

Tang Yin's words were too general and vague. Originally, he was not on the side of civil servants. Now he seized the loopholes in his words and speculated whether someone would stand up for the emperor. But who can guarantee that the brain behind the emperor is only one person, and Not a whole team?
"Then... who wrote the draft of the Great Rites?" Jiang Mian asked again.

Qiao Yu continued to shake his head: "I haven't asked, I guess I won't get an answer if I ask."

Jiang Mian said: "In this situation, relying on the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish anything, so I should go and talk to Yongxiu and ask him to find someone. Starting from the public opinion guidance of the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy, we will work from the bottom up. It can't be turned upside down."

"That……"

Qiao Yu thought that his realm as an official minister was higher than that of Jiang Mian.

But now Qiao Yu saw it.

Before Jiang Mian just deliberately kept a low profile, in terms of means, Jiang Mian is still more experienced and capable, at least more farsighted than him, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
