Jinyi champion

Chapter 936
The Zhu family said it was true, did it attract Zhu Hao?
Zhu Haoxin said, the Zhu family has turned into such a deadly look, do you think it's an honor to give orders in the family?

"There are some errands in the capital, please go and handle them, uncle, maybe you can stay after finishing them...It's useless to talk, it still depends on your actual actions!"

After speaking, Zhu Hao seemed to be fading, and shook his sleeves, "Let's go!"

Zhu Wanhong looked at Zhu Hao's back, feeling frustrated and powerless.

A follower behind him approached and asked, "Master Qianhu, what should we do next?"

Zhu Wanhong was humble before Zhu Hao, but he was arrogant in front of his subordinates: "I'm on business! Don't even go to sleep if I can't do it. After half a month in Beijing, whether it's an errand entrusted by the superior or a temporary assignment, let me The brothers below should keep an eye on them, and if they fail to do so, they will be dismissed immediately!"

"Yes."

The subordinates didn't know where Zhu Wanhong got so angry, and cursed in their hearts, but reluctantly followed Zhu Wanhong to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

……

……

Xu Jie returned to the capital and went directly to the Imperial Academy for editing.

Through Xu Jie's relationship, Yang Shen made an appointment with Zhu Hao.

Originally Zhu Hao didn't want to meet, but Yang Shen said it was because of Zhang Cong's business, so he patiently went to meet, and Yang Shen didn't put any extra pressure on Zhu Hao, and only invited Zhu Hao and Xu Jie to host a banquet.

"Jingdao, you are a very busy person now, and you can't find anyone anywhere. When I asked you when you would return to the Imperial Academy, you tried every means to evade, so I asked you if you have any plans to make things right for the court recently?"

Yang Shen poured wine for Zhu Hao, but he didn't feel annoyed when Zhu Hao refused, and just babbled to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Haodao: "I don't even want to take on the errands assigned by the court, so why talk about putting things right? Anyway, what's right?"

Xu Jie explained from the side: "It's like this. Yang Shisao told me just now that there are many academic societies in the capital, which are formed by some low-level literati, and the discussions are all biased views. A discussion of matters of etiquette."

Yang Shen added: "Jingdao, you should know who these societies are related to, right?"

"Does Zhang Bing use it?" Zhu Hao asked.

Yang Shen nodded: "After returning to the capital, this person has been very active. He is not visible in the Imperial Academy, but he can be seen in various places where scholars gather in the capital. This kind of person does anything to achieve his goals. What's more, a group of fans surrounded him, like flies focusing on rotten meat, so that there were a lot of strange noises in the capital's discussion about etiquette, which needed to be corrected in time."

Zhu Hao nodded, expressing his understanding.

Zhang Cong is more energetic than Huang Zan, and he is full of motivation to do things. Although Zhang Cong is not too young at his age, he has only just become an official and is full of aggressiveness. different.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Cong initiated the ceremony because he was a famous person around the emperor, and his appeal was quite terrifying. Many scholars with opportunistic thoughts moved closer to Zhang Cong.

Yang Shen saw that Zhu Hao's face was neither hot nor cold, and said again: "Jingdao, I know you want to get out of the matter, but this matter is related to the court's order, if you want to be an official in the court in the future, you should understand that these disasters have caused chaos in the court. Those who are not allowed to stay, if they control the government in the future, you and my generation will be useless, and Ming Dynasty will also decline."

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Brother Yongxiu, your words are a bit alarmist..."

Yang Shen looked solemn: "I'm telling the truth, now I'm the one who comes out, or the members of the Hanlin Academy, and those people from the academy really can't get together, and there will be conflicts if they are not careful, and they can't figure out what's going on with them. The composition of the staff, I would like to invite you and Zisheng to join in and find out the truth."

Xu Jie was taken aback: "I'm going with you too?"

Zhu Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Jie.

You're not so stupid that you don't know that Yang Yongxiu is the kind of guy who likes to take advantage of people, right?Otherwise why did he call you?Think you can stand by and watch?

Zhu Hao said: "Then I'll go and have a look, and I'll let you know if there's any news. But how to deal with it, I won't make suggestions, let alone get involved."

"Ah."

Yang Shen didn't force it, he already had a relatively complete plan, and only let Zhu Hao, as a spy, go to observe the situation of the people in the academy who had a relationship with Zhang Cong.

……

……

Before the banquet was over, Yang Shen bid farewell and left, leaving only Xu Jie and Zhu Hao behind.

Xu Jie looked apologetic: "I didn't know that Yang Shidao wanted us to do things. But I don't know what he wants to do. I know that those people in the academy have different views, so it won't help if I wait."

Zhu Haodao: "Yongxiu is such a person. He has a strong purpose in doing things. You don't go out with him once or twice. You should have known about it long ago."

"Ha ha."

Xu Jie scratched his head embarrassedly.

As far as Xu Jie is concerned, his political sensitivity is still low. Even if he went to Yongping Mansion with Yang Shen to investigate the case before, he didn’t have much memory. This is a mistake often made by newcomers in the officialdom. One wisdom.

Xu Jie said, "Then what did he ask us to do?"

Zhu Hao shook his head and sighed softly: "There are scholars in the capital who violate the rules of etiquette. In Yang Yongxiu's view, these people want to cut off their careers. The solution he can think of is nothing more than cutting off the way for these people to enter the imperial examination. The role of alerting the world."

"Uh……"

Xu Jie pondered for a while, "What does this have to do with our going to find out the truth?"

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Is it okay? Everyone is punished, is it going to be a big fight? The specific operation is also very troublesome... How about finding out who is the leader, and killing everyone to warn others, isn't it much simpler and more effective?"

Xu Jie suddenly realized: "The meaning of Shi Yang's words is to ask us to find out who is in the lead. Then why didn't he tell us clearly?"

Zhu Hao said: "I don't know exactly what he wants to do. I just try to analyze it. He has always been like this when he talks and does things. He hides half of what he says, and is in the cloud. It will be very tiring to associate with him. Otherwise, why do I now Avoid it if you can?"

"Then I...it seems that I should keep a distance from Yongxiu." Xu Jie seemed to be smarter.

It is not a good thing to have a good relationship with Yang Shen. Zhu Hao used to be Yang Shen's close comrade-in-arms, and now he has to sever ties with him, but Yang Shen still comes to Zhu Hao to do business with a shameless face. Xu Jie can also feel the relationship with him. If Yang Shen is friendly, it will not bring him any immediate benefits, so it is better to hide away.

……

……

Xu Jie thought that Zhu Hao would immediately take him to the academy to meet students with new ideas, but Zhu Hao only made an appointment with him and said that he would go back later.

After Zhu Hao said goodbye to Xu Jie, he immediately went to see the founder of the Jingcheng Academy, Zhang Cong himself.

When Zhang Cong learned that Zhu Hao wanted to see him, he was a little flattered. After all, after he returned to the capital this time, he never saw anyone in the imperial party who had the actual right to speak. How envious and jealous Zhu Hao was, at least for a short time, he had to rely on Zhu Hao's secret help if he wanted to be in power.

"...Brother Bingyong, the commotion you have made in the capital is a bit big recently. A lot of scholars in the capital gathered to discuss court affairs. The backlash of the orthodox civil servants is not a good thing."

Zhu Hao first set the tone for Zhang Cong.

You are too hasty.

Zhang Cong hurriedly explained: "I am also dedicated to fulfilling the emperor's envoy. Your Majesty is bothered by the matter of discussing the ceremony. How can a courtier do nothing? I found that the voice of support for the ceremony in the court was too weak, so I thought With the help of my meager influence in the ceremony, mobilize more people and create some noise in the court."

Zhu Hao said: "It's good to have this heart, but you must pay attention to step by step, this kind of supportive voice is more to give the opponent a chance to fight back.

"Do you know why Yang Yongxiu asked me for it? He asked me to find out who were the people who discussed the ceremony with you, some officials with low status in the court, and some scholars who have not yet achieved fame but have a certain leadership quality ...What do you think he will do after he finds out these people?"

Zhang Cong looked cautious: "Even if they are suppressed for a while now, these people can still become the pillars of the community in the future."

Zhu Hao couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

Are you Zhang Cong an idealist, or are you really stupid?

Why do you pick your words so clearly?

If you follow you, will you be able to become a talent for helping the country in the future?Who do you think you are?
Even if you really think these people can help you, if you say that directly in front of me, do you not take me, Zhu Jingdao, seriously?Or do you think that I am also your pawn?
Zhang Cong may also be aware of what he said, revealing an astonishing ambition, and hastily remedied: "Mr. Zhu, there are indeed capable people among these people, and I will introduce them to you one by one."

Zhu Hao waved his hand and said: "No need, in extraordinary times, people who make extraordinary voices on extraordinary things are often not reused. Their purpose is too clear and utilitarian, and it is difficult to achieve great things. I also advise Brother Bingyong here, The key to the success or failure of discussing the ceremony is not how many people support it, so there is no need to do that useless work."

Zhang Cong asked puzzledly: "Shouldn't we win more people's support?"

Zhu Hao saw that Zhang Cong's opinions were quite strong, but he was right after thinking about it. This person himself is an opinion leader, so it is understandable not to listen to the advice.

Zhu Haodao: "No matter how many people support you win, will the mainstream public opinion in the DPRK give you the slightest slant? From the cabinet to the Ministry of Rites, and then to the yamen in the DPRK, is there an orthodox civil servant who will give you even a little bit of support?"

"This……"

Zhang Cong was speechless.

"Since there is no such support, if you let the humble officials and the scholars who have not yet achieved fame follow your opinion, are you helping them or harming them? When the ceremony is held in the future, you expect them to reunite with the orthodox civil officials. fight?"

Zhu Hao's tone was no longer discussing with Zhang Cong, but more a reminder and lesson to Zhang Cong.

"Yes, yes, I'm not thinking carefully."

Zhang Cong didn't have the confidence to confront Zhu Hao head-on, so he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Zhu Hao said: "If you have time, talk to Xueshi Huang more about the matter of ceremonies, he can help you... He will enter the cabinet just around the corner, and the post of Hanlin scholar of ceremonies that will be left behind by then may fall on you, what do you want? Make good use of the opportunity and don’t get caught out.”
