Chapter 918 Why did you go early?

There is still one day before the emperor's tour.

The opening ceremony of the train has been arranged outside the city, and Yutian Bo Jianglun is in charge of specific matters in name.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Peng Ze's memorial to resign this morning was finally approved. When many people thought that Peng Ze would leave the court as a result of being guilty, the emperor did not punish Peng Ze, but only allowed him to retire, and gave his servants and Chariots and horses appear to be very polite.

When Peng Ze stepped down, the position of Minister of the Ministry of War was vacated, and the core topic of the court meeting that day was to be Minister of the Ministry of War.

Huang Zan, as the secretary of the Nanhu Department, was not originally a popular candidate, but he was still proposed. Obviously, someone wanted to test the emperor's appointment to Huang Zan's official position.

Zhu Silang said in a loud voice: "I have transferred Huang Qing's family, the Shangshu of the Nanhu Department, to the capital. He has his own opinions on the matter of discussing ceremonies. I plan to use him as a scholar of the Imperial Academy to preside over the matters of discussing ceremonies. Your family will not Have an opinion?"

The candidates for the Ministry of War have not yet been decided, and a dispute arose over the addition of Hanlin bachelors.

In the past, Jiang Mian would not confront the emperor directly. This is learning from Yang Tinghe, hiding behind the scenes and taking over the overall situation.

But this time he stood up and opposed with a clear attitude: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Nanhubu has no experience in serving Hanyuan. If he presides over the ceremony, I am afraid that it will make people dissatisfied. You should choose a person with high morals from the Ministry of Rites, or use the Ministry of Rites Shang Shu presided over it, so it is not appropriate to choose someone else."

Zhu Sidao: "Mr. Jiang Ge is overwhelmed. Whether he can do it or not will only be known after proof. If it is said that only the Minister of Rites presides over the ceremony, doesn't that mean that everyone must take the opinion of the Ministry of Rites as the standard? It is not allowed to go to court. Are there other voices coming out? That’s all there is to it!”

The emperor did not discuss with Jiang Mian at all, and his words could not be refused.

But the emperor's words sounded so reasonable.

Many ministers are thinking, if the minister of the Ministry of Rites presides over the ceremony, wouldn't that mean that the public opinion is one-sided?No one dares to come out and object?
It was precisely because everyone knew that Huang Zan was in the opposition and was in the same group as the emperor. If Huang Zan came to host, it would be more normal for someone to come out and voice their opposition.

Jiang Mian insisted: "Your Majesty, when discussing etiquette, morality and etiquette should be the first priority, and it is not appropriate to make extraneous issues."

Zhu Sidao: "Morality, righteousness and etiquette are not established. If the views put forward by Huang Qing's family when discussing etiquette have no achievements, no one agrees, or even full of loopholes, and are refuted speechless, then he is beyond his power. We can talk about it then." It’s never too late to do what comes first. This matter is settled like this!”

"His Majesty……"

Many officials came out to argue with the emperor.

Zhu Sihao took the time to say: "If you feel that Huang Qing's family is not suitable, then I still have someone to choose, that is, my husband Tang Yin and Tang Bohu when I was in Xingwang's mansion, he also has unique views on the matter of etiquette. Now others It is in the Hanlin Academy, which meets the prerequisites mentioned by Mr. Jiang Ge that he had worked in the Imperial Academy... Do you want him to preside over it?"

After hearing this, the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that the emperor was messing around.

But that's the way it is.

Yang Tinghe, who used to fight back and forth with the emperor, has already retreated. Jiang Mian's words have no weight. Who can stop the emperor's misconduct?

"Come here, give the imperial edict to Huang Qing's family... Send someone to his house, do whatever you want... If anyone thinks it's inappropriate, then wait until the ceremony is over. If even one of you objects I can't tolerate the voices of the people, let me listen to you... Then, why don't you think about why there are different voices in the DPRK and China?
"Huang Qing's family is also a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, so why not let him speak out? If you think he is heresy, please refute him to pieces during the debate and consider yourself rude, instead of stopping others from speaking before they start! If anyone has another opinion, then I will let them come to the front in tomorrow's debate and have a good discussion."

Originally, the emperor said so, and there was nothing to be afraid of, but the problem is that many people can't see the situation clearly now, and it is also because there are too many people in the Ministry of Rites who hold the view of "inheritance and inheritance", and it seems that there is no need for me to be the first bird.

On the other hand, on the side of "succession and not succession", apart from Huang Zan, who is now determined to be the first, and Zhang Cong, who has not yet arrived in Beijing, plus Gui E, Fang Xianfu, Xi Shu and others who have not been recruited, who can be regarded as the true emperor? Someone who can be used?
Since tomorrow has the opportunity to knock down the enemy and step on it, why do you have to force yourself before everything starts today?
……

……

The court meeting ended in a tense atmosphere.

Under tremendous pressure, the emperor forcibly appointed Huang Zan as a Hanlin Bachelor in the form of enshrining an official without discussing with the ministers in the court. Although this Hanlin Bachelor is of a temporary nature, there is one advantage, that is, Even if you are a Hanlin bachelor for a day, you are still an official of the Hanlin system.

As long as Huang Zan had been a Hanlin scholar, then the emperor would have reason to let him join the cabinet.

Of course, it depends on Huang Zan's performance in the ceremony.

As soon as the news came out.

Public opinion was in an uproar.

Especially the people of the Hanlin Academy system, so many people who have endured hardships in the Hanlin Academy, everyone hopes that one day they can become Hanlin bachelors, honor their ancestors, and even have the opportunity to join the cabinet.

As a result, the new Hanlin scholar did not come from the Hanlin Academy system, but Huang Zan from outside.

Although Huang Zan was born as a Jinshi, he was not a member of the Three Tripods, and he had never passed the examination of a Shujishi. He spent most of his life as an official in various parts of the country...that is, in the last six or seven years, Huang Zan has only completed his transition from a local official to a Beijing official. The leap forward, but the time in the center is not much, and the scholars in the capital know little about it.

As a member of the Imperial Academy, Yang Shen was the one who was actively running around in order to launch a grand meeting. After hearing the news, he first made some arrangements within the small circle, and in the afternoon, he took the initiative to meet Zhu Hao. The location was Yang Shen's residence in the capital.

This is the former residence of Yang Tinghe. As far as Zhu Hao knows, this house was not bought by Yang Tinghe, but an official residence. It was given to Yang Tinghe by Emperor Zhengde to live in it. The officials involved in this stall did not let Yang Shen vacate because of their sympathy, but it is estimated that they will not live for long.

"...Respectfully, my father left a lot of books before he left. I think you are not in Hanyuan now. It is not easy to read the books you like. You can see which ones are useful and pick a few to go back and taste slowly. Just return them on time. That's it."

Yang Shen is the same as before, before finding someone to do something, he must first give someone a little benefit, even if this benefit is just an empty promise.

Looking at the study room that once belonged to Yang Tinghe, Zhu Hao naturally knew that many books in this study room were taken away by Yang Tinghe when he returned to his hometown, and what was left behind were not so precious single books.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Brother Xiu is kind enough to accept it, but I don't have the time or the mood to read recently."

Yang Shen asked curiously: "Haven't you read a book recently?"

"Hey! It's not that I don't want to watch it, but I can't sink my mind to watch it. After passing the exam, I feel that there are many unfinished things in the first half of my life. I want to realize it when I am young..."

Zhu Hao had a regretful expression on his face.

Yang Shen said: "In this way, you are more suitable to go to Huguang to serve as the deputy envoy. As far as I know, the Ministry of Officials is still discussing this candidate recently, and I plan to recommend you to serve as the deputy envoy."

Do you recommend?
Why do you recommend me?

It seems that you know me very well and appreciate me, but the problem is that you are just a middle-level official of the Imperial Academy. It seems that your father helped you complete your position, but it is also the result of my secret help.

Let you be a lecturer in the Hanlin, not for anything else, just to make you fall, it will be even worse.

In history, you only participated in the Great Ceremony as an academic editor, and your ability to mobilize public opinion is quite limited, and the fall has not been severe enough.

Does it make you feel like you can do anything now?
"No, I'd rather be like this now and do whatever I want."

Zhu Hao seems to have no extravagant expectations for official career.

Yang Shendao: "Have you heard about the ceremony tomorrow? Your Majesty is in the court today. Huang Gongxian, Minister of the Southern Household Department, is a scholar of the Imperial Academy. He will preside over the ceremony tomorrow. He was once a vassal in Huguang. How much do you know about him?" ?”

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "I know him better than you can imagine."

"what?"

Even though Yang Shen knew that Zhu Hao had some connections with Huang Zan, he never expected that Zhu Hao would admit it so readily, it was a huge "surprise" for him.

Zhu Haodao: "When Huang Butang was the chief envoy in Huguang, he had secret contacts with the Xing Palace. His brother-in-law Su Xigui did business with the Palace many times...Brother Yongxiu, I seem to have mentioned this to you. Huang Bu When the hall was Ren Huguang, it was planned in advance and made friends with Lao Xingwang... Don't you remember?"

"Ok!"

Yang Shen looked displeased, "No wonder Your Majesty was discussing the ceremony and couldn't find a helper, so he moved Huang Gongxian out. It turned out that he had already prepared for it."

Zhu Haodao: "However, as far as I know, Huang Butang has never done much research on etiquette and law. He is good at financial management and other mundane affairs. In my opinion, even if he comes forward, he may not be the one who caused the trouble. You see Is it possible that someone is plotting behind his back?"

"Who?"

Yang Shen felt that he had gotten to the point.

Zhu Hao spread his hands and didn't answer, meaning where do I know where to go?
Yang Shendao: "Jingdao, if I let you go to His Majesty's side, speak out for His Majesty, stand firm on Huang Gongxian's position in terms of grand ceremony, what do you think?"

Zhu Hao frowned.

"Using Brother Xiu's words, why can't I understand? Inheritance and succession, or succession and non-inheritance? Please forgive me for speaking directly. The current public discussions are basically summarized as these two points of view. You want me to stand Huang Gongxian?" Zhu Hao spoke directly.

Yang Shen said coldly: "Then which side did you support?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Although I have always been on the side of successors before, the question is...when is it my turn to be a marginal figure to participate in the court's discussion of the ceremony? If you use Brother Xiu, you mean to let me make it clear There is no need to stand on the side of succession or non-succession, I don't have any ideas about official career, so please ask someone else to be wise."

Don't think I don't know, you want me to sneak into the emperor's side as an undercover agent—let me approach Huang Zan by supporting Huang Zan, inquire about his specific movements, so that I can counterattack in a targeted manner.

Let's not talk about whether your plan is feasible, but you just proposed it now, isn't it a bit late?
Tomorrow, the ceremony will enter the final debate, and today you thought of finding an undercover agent to find out the other party's background?Why did you go early?
