Jinyi champion

Chapter 923 Don't Be Serious, Be Absurd

Tang Yin was completely ignorant of the process of the ceremony, and he didn't care about it from the very beginning.

He was summoned by Zhang Zuo to the emperor, but he couldn't tell why.

"Mr. Tang, didn't Jingdao explain to you in detail how to deal with various situations today?" Zhu Si looked expectantly at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin was dumbfounded when asked.

Didn't you two young men discuss this matter?
If there is any change in the debate on the Great Rites, wouldn't you be the ones to deal with it?
What does this have to do with me?
Zhang Zuo said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Tang has been recuperating recently, maybe he really doesn't know about it."

Zhu Si looked frustrated: "But now, so many people are against my father's pursuit, and no one can stand up and suppress them."

Tang Yin asked: "Isn't there Huang Xueshi?"

"Him? Okay?"

Zhu Si is not sure.

Until now, Zhu Si didn't know how Huang Zan performed in the debate among the officials.

In Huang Jin's previous report, it seemed that the debate on the official side was very mild, and basically no one came out to speak out, or that everyone had agreed to support "succession to inheritance", and it depends on who comes out to be the clown.

After all, those who are officials generally do not need to stand in the big ceremony in exchange for any political resources. Of course, there are exceptions, that is Huang Zan, Zhang Cong and others, and the rest are waiting and watching.

Tang Yin said: "Your Majesty, I believe there will be arrangements for Jingdao."

……

……

Coming out of the emperor's big tent, Tang Yin was a little puzzled.

Zhang Zuo walked out of the camp behind him, and caught up with him in a few steps: "Mr. Tang, you said this time... are you sure about Mr. Zhu? In the past, Mr. Zhu's layout was very subtle, but this time... it looks like Let Huang Xueshi and Zhang Shidu earn their own performance, but if there are only two of them, how can the wind of public opinion shift to our side?"

Tang Yindao: "I don't know much about this, but thinking about it, Jing Dao is mature and prudent, so he should have a backup."

"What's behind?"

Zhang Zuo hurriedly asked.

Tang Yin shook his head helplessly: "Eunuch Zhang, you don't need to be too anxious, maybe the ceremony doesn't pay attention to the result, but to have such a form... As the saying goes, no one can convince each other, the more important thing is to debate , attracted the attention of the scholars, so there is room for discussion, and I, Ming Dynasty, have always advocated filial piety and righteousness first, and the public opinion may slowly turn around... At this time, it is better to let His Majesty return to the palace earlier."

Zhang Zuo said helplessly, "Now that there is no result in the ceremony, how could Your Majesty be willing to go back to the city?"

Tang Yin said: "If you stay here, His Majesty will not be able to personally participate, and the situation will not change for the time being, which will only increase your troubles... Well, I have nothing to say, so let it be."

Originally, Tang Yin wanted to say a few words for Zhu Hao, but he stopped abruptly.

Zhang Zuo said with a sad face: "Our family also knows that it is not easy to win more people's support. There are only a few officials in the court who support succession and not succession. But now that the debate is open, I am afraid that the momentum will be even more unfavorable to His Majesty. The family can only be anxious... Alas!"

……

……

After leaving Zhang Zuo, Tang Yin immediately found Jiang Lun.

Jiang Lunzheng was proud of the successful completion of today's ceremony. After all, this was his first decent job for the court, and he was immersed in the joy of his meritorious service.

"Have you seen Jingdao?"

Tang Yin asked.

Jiang Lun said: "I didn't see it, but I saw the two young masters of the Sun family going back to the tent earlier."

"Which two sons of the Sun family?"

The first thing Tang Yin thought of was Sun Yuan, the Hanlin editor who had been with him for a long time this morning.

Could it be the two brothers Sun Yuan and Sun Jing?
Tang Yin was also wondering in his heart, Sun Yuan had clearly said that today's ceremony had nothing to do with him, and he didn't plan to come forward either.

Jiang Lun said: "It's Sun Ru and Sun Jing, don't they both have a close relationship with Mr. Zhu Jiaxiao? Oh, by the way, Gou Zi also went with them, and there is a large group of people, all from the Imperial College Supervisor... I think they are going to do something..."

Tang Yin was stunned.

Zhu Hao actually mobilized Sun Ru and the others at this time?

What effect can these few people play?
Even if they served in the Guozijian, they didn't see any achievements. Although Sun Jing was Sun Jiao's son, he didn't have any fame after all, so what can he do in the Guozijian?
"Isn't Sun Ru in Yongping Mansion with Feng Yuan? When did you return to Beijing? I really don't know what happened!"

Tang Yin obviously didn't understand what these people were going to do.

……

……

Tang Yin bid farewell to Jiang Lun, and wanted people from Jinyiwei to help find Zhu Hao. Now he no longer showed indifference, and his strong curiosity drove him to get some inside information.

Zhu Chen, the commander of Jinyiwei, is now preparing to hand over the baton, and then he will take the post of the governor of the five armies, waiting to retire.The one in charge of the security that day was Luo An, who had a high chance of succeeding the commander of Jinyiwei. Tang Yin didn't see him, only Wang Zuo.

Wang Zuo didn't have much contact with Tang Yin at ordinary times. When he knew that Tang Yin was looking for Zhu Hao, he was taken aback. He hurriedly reminded: "Tang Hanlin, if we go to Mr. Zhu now...will it reveal some secrets? Isn't it inappropriate?"

Tang Yin said: "I just need to ask him for something, you just need to tell me where he is now."

"Or it's not here...should it be at the mansion?"

Wang Zuo obviously didn't know either.

Tang Yin nodded, and he didn't make things difficult for Wang Zuo. Just as he was about to call the Venerable Master to go back to the city with him to find Zhu Hao, Wang Zuo suddenly reminded him: "Should Tang Hanlin go to the back tent to check the situation? It seemed that there... ...it's getting fussy."

"what for?"

Tang Yin was puzzled.

Wang Zuo said: "I saw Xueshi Huang, Zhang Cong and Zhang Hanlin in my humble position. I went to the back tent with many Hanlins. There seems to be a commotion over there, and the quarrel is very fierce. You may help mediate it if you go."

"Scholar Huang? Shouldn't he...should be meeting those ministers right now?"

Tang Yin was a little confused again.

Didn't it be agreed today that the officials will debate in one tent, while the unreputed people will be in another tent?
I heard that Sun Ru and Sun Jing took a group of scholars from the Guozijian to the scholar's tent, and now I know that Huang Zan and Zhang Cong also went with them, so this is interesting.

Tang Yin thought to himself, could it be that this kid Zhu Hao wanted to play some trick of Tian Ji's horse racing, so that Huang Gongxian and Zhang Bing could use it as a downgrade blow?
As a Hanlin scholar and attendant lecturer, to put pressure on those scholars?
If this is the case, what kind of tricks are those scholars who went with Huang Zan and Zhang Cong?
"It's up! It's up!"

Tang Yin hadn't figured out the situation here yet, someone ran over here, shouting like booing.

Seeing this posture, Wang Zuo hurriedly led Jin Yiwei's men to the tent where the accident happened.

Tang Yin glanced at it from a distance. There was a crowd of people, which seemed to be very lively. Some scholars rushed out from the tent, some pulled their hair, some tore their clothes, and there were quite a few punches and kicks. It was this group of scholars who seemed to be fighting. Clumsy, no matter how you look at it, it looks like chickens pecking at each other, without any lethality.

"Bullshit!"

Tang Yin was frightened for a while.

At this time Huang Jin heard the news and rushed over, but he saw Tang Yin first, and hurriedly arranged for people from Dongchang to go to maintain order, while he walked towards Tang Yin, as if he wanted to ensure Tang Yin's personal safety first.

Tang Yin said: "Eunuch Huang, where did this come from?"

Huang Jin smiled wryly and said, "There was no movement at all during the ceremony at the official tent. I heard that something happened here, so I came here to take a look."

Tang Yin asked: "There isn't a single naysayer over there, is there?"

"This... yes."

Huang Jin was a little helpless.

In the ceremony discussion, there were too few people who took the standpoint of "succession and not succession". Huang Zan and Zhang Cong were absent from the officials' side, and there was no disturbance at all. Instead, it was a place where a group of scholars discussed the ceremony. First, because the discussion was too intense And there was a verbal dispute, and then there was a big fight...

Huang Jin was about to leave and report to the emperor when Tang Yin asked, "Eunuch Huang, are you sure you haven't seen Zhu Hao?"

Huang Jin said: "After the opening ceremony, Mr. Zhu went back to the city, and now he is drinking tea near Deshengmen, and he said that it is absolutely necessary not to bother him... If you insist on looking for it, our family will take his The address will be given to you."

Tang Yin shook his head and smiled wryly.

I was thinking in my heart, is this kid just watching the excitement from the other side?Needless to say, the fight in front of me was also related to Zhu Hao's design!

"Tell me where he is!"

Tang Yin said bluntly.

……

……

A fight about the martyrdom of scholars for their opinions can no longer attract Tang Yin's attention.

He even wanted to know what Zhu Hao was thinking.

He hurried into the city, and in a teahouse near the city gate, he saw Zhu Hao who was drinking tea and chatting with Su Xigui.

"I just said that Mr. Tang will come, you see, let me guess?"

Zhu Hao smiled and said to Su Xigui.

Tang Yin said: "You planned what happened today? It's disrespectful! You know, His Majesty hasn't returned to the palace yet, so you're trying to make a big deal out of it."

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Isn't it good to make a scene?"

"what for?"

Sitting down, Tang Yin glared at Su Xigui first. Su Xigui hurriedly stood up and saluted, but Tang Yin ignored him. Then Su Xigui resentfully sat down again.

"It's like this. Few people support the idea of ​​'inheritance and not succession'. Even if you spent money, mobilized some connections, and even bribed a group of people with promises from officials to speak out for His Majesty, the result is also It’s not good, there’s been very little response.”

Zhu Hao said with regret in his words, "Since no one supports it, it means that orthodox civil servants have too much influence, so why start with the theme of the debate?"

Tang Yin said: "It seems that you planned this debate, right?"

"Hehe, the planning is the planning. I didn't say I want to win the debate, did I? Winning with fists is still winning..."

"You...you don't want to subdue those scholars, do you?"

"It's not important, just fight. The topic of the previous ceremony was still too serious and solemn. Everyone is under a lot of pressure. The more serious they are, the more difficult it will be for the theory of 'inheritance and not succession' to be passed by His Majesty's decree." Difficult and dangerous, only by making this matter less serious, even absurd, and His Majesty comes forward to make a final decision, will the supremacy of imperial power be demonstrated, and everything will become reasonable!"
