Chapter 957 Training Opponents

Chapter 957 Training Opponents
After listening to the scene described by Zhu Hao, Tang Yin suddenly fell silent.

Even Su Xigui who was on the side could see that Tang Yin was obviously tempted, because the situation Zhu Hao said was simply not too attractive to a person rolling around in Vanity Fair.

Zhu Hao belongs to the category of "prescribing the right medicine".

You, Tang Yin, don't like messing with officialdom, but you always like fame, wealth and status, right?

If you are given a status, you don't need to fight in the officialdom, you don't need to mediate with the ministers of the court and the central government, you just have a name, and you are an idler like now, can you refuse?

"Sir, it is estimated that the court meeting in the palace is coming to an end now. Don't blame me for not saying hello to you in advance. In fact, arranging you to be this Hanlin bachelor may not be successful. Even if you do, if you are not happy, go back and ask His Majesty to resign. , Your Majesty will still allow it."

Zhu Hao spoke to Tang Yin with the posture of a superior.

If someone else told Tang Yin that, Tang Yin would have to walk away.

Don't I want to lose face as a great talent in Tang Dynasty who is both excellent in poetry and painting?

But if Zhu Hao said that, Tang Yin had already gotten used to it. It seemed that the relationship between master and apprentice had always been a pattern of gagging and burying each other. Anyway, Zhu Hao had seen even more embarrassing things. Isn't it too much?

Tang Yin said with emotion: "Jingdao, it's no wonder you can persuade even Yang Yongxiu. It seems that you know more about this official affairs than others... Sigh!"

In this way, Tang Yin admitted that he was indeed seen through by Zhu Hao.

A Hanlin bachelor who doesn't need to sit in class is almost an irresistible temptation for him.

Zhu Hao sighed: "Sir, don't have too much hope, just like Xueshi Huang is also trying to join the cabinet in the palace now, the civil servants put too much pressure on His Majesty, this is a game between the monarch and his ministers, and the exchange of interests , Your Majesty, if you gain something today, you will definitely lose something!"

……

……

On this day, the court meeting ended in a stalemate between the monarch and his ministers.

As Zhu Hao judged, both sides have gained and lost.

On the emperor's side, the topic of the ceremony has not yet been finalized.

Even Zhu Si himself knew that no results could be obtained by negotiating with the ministers. To pass it smoothly, the only way was to unilaterally declare this way. Now that Jiang Mian has not retired, the main force of civil servants has not suffered much loss. So this time it seems to be a fight for the ceremony, but the real purpose is to cleanse the civil servant faction.

On the one hand, the emperor insisted that the great ceremony must be won, but on the other hand, he made a retreat at a critical moment, and then replaced the court with more "own people".

On the civil servant side, Mao Ji became an official, but in the end they had to agree to let Huang Zan join the cabinet. Huang Zan became the fourth cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty with the title of Dongge University Bachelor and Hubu Shangshu. Responsible for the docking between the cabinet and the Ministry of Accounts, Jingcang, etc., and the drafting of bills is also mainly based on the formulation of countermeasures by the Ministry of Accounts.

Another change is that Tang Yin was promoted from a little-known Hanlin reviewer to a Hanlin bachelor.

This matter seemed very evil, Tang Yin's promotion was unprecedentedly strong, it was like a difference between heaven and earth, but the resistance encountered in this matter was much less than that of Huang Zan's entry into the cabinet.

This may not even have occurred to Zhu Si himself.

Although Tang Yin was only a Hanlin reviewer, he had previously served as the governor of Xuanda and the military affairs of the Nei Sanguan, and he almost became the servant of the sixth department. In addition, Tang Yin was a teacher of Xing Wang's residence. Shi Zhang Jingming and Yuan Zonggao passed away one after another, and Tang Yin became the benchmark figure of Xingwangfu in the court.

Also because of Tang Yin's easy-going personality...

This point has been proven by time. The civil official group found that it is much easier to control Tang Yin than to control Huang Zan, Zhang Bangqi, Zhang Cong and others.

Letting Tang Yin come to be the Hanlin Bachelor who is in charge of discussing ceremonies is like having no one. Many people even readily accept Tang Yin's superior position.

It's like saying...

Tang Yin was not forced to go up, but was "supported" by everyone.

The news spread to the theater.

Su Xigui was so excited that he almost knelt down on the spot.

Huang Zan planned for so long, and finally got his wish to join the cabinet. As a political broker, Su Xigui accomplished a "miracle" behind the scenes, pushing Huang Zan to the highest position that civil servants could obtain. Su Xigui could get the feedback Huang Zan brought, And as he wished, he "retired completely". From now on, he no longer has to worry about how to help Huang Zan, and can concentrate on serving under Zhu Hao's command.

What also made Su Xigui excited was that this matter was completely planned by Zhu Hao, and even what Zhu Hao seemed to say about making Tang Yin a Hanlin scholar was fulfilled as scheduled.

Su Xigui is equivalent to saying that he witnessed this incident with the people in power who are second only to the emperor in the court.

Thinking that in the future, I would be able to curry favor with a tree with deeper roots and more leafy leaves than Huang Zan, and I became more and more excited.

"Mr. Tang, what do you say? Accept or reject?" Zhu Hao ignored Su Xigui, who was overwhelmed with excitement, and asked Tang Yin with a smile.

Tang Yin's face was embarrassed.

I am very happy to say that I am happy. When I came to the appointment, I was just a Hanlin reviewer with no real power. Now I am a Hanlin bachelor?

There are two extreme differences between the upper and lower Hanlin Academy.

"How did you get His Majesty to persuade the ministers?"

Tang Yin asked a question first.

Zhu Hao shrugged and said he had no comment.

At this moment, Su Xigui remembered that he had to curry favor with Tang Yin, because he found that even if Huang Zan got into the cabinet as he wished, he would retire in about half a year, and it might not exceed a year at the longest, because Huang Zan, a cabinet minister, was just a It's a transition, and Tang Yin is the "upstart". If Tang Yin is allowed to enter the cabinet... how about three or five years?
"Tang Hanlin...ah, that's not right, I should call you Tang Scholar. I greet you, congratulations." Su Xigui smiled like a flower, but he was as unpopular as a dog's tail flower.

Zhu Hao said: "Sir, you have become a Hanlin Bachelor, today and tomorrow, you should go to the Imperial Academy to handle the handover matters."

Tang Yin asked nervously: "Are you sure, in the future I don't have to go to the Imperial Academy to deal with affairs every day, and I can still be as carefree as I am today, right?"

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Look at what you asked... let's put it this way, even if you want to go every day, the people in the Imperial Academy will not welcome you, even if you don't show up in front of them for a year, they will not blame you for neglecting Government affairs, on the contrary, will be happy to think that you are a rare good official who has maintained the Ming dynasty, I wonder if you believe it or not?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Tang Yin felt a little discouraged.

Why is it that the feelings themselves have no sense of existence in the court?

But think about it.

The emperor's increase of the post of Hanlin Bachelor of Yili had already encountered a lot of criticism in the court. As an orthodox civil servant, Huang Zan was looked down upon every day when he went to the Imperial Academy.

Now that Tang Yin was replaced by him to do this thankless job, others naturally hoped that he would not do his best... This is tantamount to minimizing the influence of the emperor's proposal to honor Hanlin bachelors.

"Go again tomorrow, I'll go back home first."

Tang Yin's spirits faded.

Now that he has been confirmed as a Hanlin scholar, he has to go home and wait for the imperial edict and official letter to be delivered.

Zhu Hao said: "Sir, you can't leave yet, you need to meet someone with me later."

Even Su Xigui became interested this time, and together with Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao curiously, wanting to know who it was.

Zhu Hao didn't hide anything: "It should be that Zhang Hanlin."

"You mean... Zhang Bingyong?"

Tang Yin's thoughts became clear and active in an instant.

Zhu Hao said earlier that if it wasn’t for him Tang Yin, Zhang Cong would be the most popular candidate to become a Hanlin scholar, and Zhang Cong was busy with the big ceremony, and he did not hesitate to offend the civil servants of the court. Running around and contacting so many people is just to make a fortune one day.

But now that the Great Ritual Discussion has achieved preliminary results, the emperor's cleansing of the court has begun to show signs, but the vacated position of the Imperial Academy of Rituals still hasn't fallen to him, can he feel balanced?
The problem was that Tang Yin, an undisciplined individual who had always stayed out of things, stole the fruits of victory.

From Zhang Cong's point of view, apart from being the emperor's confidant, what other skills do you, Tang Yin, have?
What kind of strength have you contributed to the ceremony?Every time I saw you, I always looked like I was dying, but now you jumped out when I was grabbing the results?
Tang Yin thought for a while, wondering why: "I still don't see him, I'm afraid of him... Sigh!"

Zhu Hao said: "If you don't see him, his prejudice against you will be even deeper. You know, he still needs to contribute to the ceremony, otherwise I expect you, sir, to travel among the people, communicate with scholars, and contact people inside and outside the court. Do the ministers support the matter of discussing rituals together?"

Su Xigui next to him asked tentatively: "This Zhang Hanlin is now an imperial servant, and he has only been in court for a few years? Isn't that satisfactory?"

Perhaps in Su Xigui's view, Zhang Cong became one of the core forces around the new emperor in just a few years after entering the court, and got a position that others wanted but couldn't get. How could he be unpopular?

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Su Dongzhu, Xueshi Huang, you should go to congratulate him, why don't you go first, and I will talk to Mr. Tang?"

"well."

Su Xigui is very knowledgeable.

Seeing Zhu Hao's influence, he felt that today's wait was worthwhile, how can he not bother him now?
"Then let's talk later," Zhu Hao said.

"it is good."

After Su Xigui saluted respectfully, he said goodbye to Tang Yin before leaving the theater.

……

……

In the private room of the theater building, only Zhu Hao and Tang Yin were left.

At this moment, the smile on Zhu Hao's face had disappeared.

"Mr. Tang, let me make it clear. I just use you to suppress Zhang Bingyong, make him feel aggrieved, and feel jealous towards me from the bottom of my heart."

Zhu Hao was outspoken.

Tang Yin asked in surprise: "What? Are you jealous of him?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Not only am I not jealous, on the contrary, I will secretly promote and cultivate him in the future, so that he can become a powerful force in the court that can compete with me... Once he develops hatred for me, he will try every means to separate me from Zhu Hao. Fourth, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers."

Tang Yin sighed: "Why are you doing this?"

Zhu Hao said: "Sir, didn't you say it before? I am in the court, if I really become alone in the situation of covering the sky with one hand, I will not be far from the rebellious officials and thieves... What if I don't cultivate an opponent for myself?" Can His Majesty trust me?"
