Jinyi champion

"What? Jingdao is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites?"

In the Imperial Academy, Yu Chengxun was so surprised when he heard the news brought back by Yang Shen that he was almost dumbfounded.

Yang Shen had a sad expression on his face, "Not only that, he is also a Bachelor of Attendance at the Imperial Academy, and a young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu. He is a third-rank official."

Yu Chengxun said: "It's nothing to be a bachelor's servant, just the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. Is this too... Is this His Majesty's decision, or is it a recommendation from the courtiers? Didn't the courtiers come out to object?"

According to the rules of the Ministry of Rites, one of the two servants must be an official of the Imperial Academy, and the person from the Imperial Academy will basically be a bachelor's servant, and Zhan Shifu's young Zhan Shi will give Zhu Hao more duties, which is tantamount to letting Zhu Hao is also an errand for the Ministry of Rites and Zhan Shifu. Neither side can make decisions, but he can participate.

Even Yu Chengxun, who has always had a good impression of Zhu Hao, felt that Zhu Hao's promotion this time was a bit...too much.

Yang Shen shook his head: "I haven't gotten a definite answer to why this matter is involved, and no one has told me in detail. Maybe before that, many things have been settled. In the court, Mr. Jiang Ge Before I officially took office, I never expressed any objection to this matter. Alas!"

Having said that, both of them were silent.

Outside Yang Shen's official office, the courtyard was extremely noisy, probably because the news of Zhu Hao's promotion to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites had already spread in the Hanlin Academy, which was the most respected place in the Ming Dynasty.

The members of the Imperial Academy were unable to oppose Zhang Cong and Tang Yin, because they were employed by the emperor, and they were employed by the faction of King Xing's mansion, so it was not easy to oppose them.

Now, if you want to oppose Zhu Hao, who was born as an orthodox No. [-] scholar, wouldn't everyone be filled with righteous indignation?

"Yongxiu, do you want to go out and have a look? Or... we want to explain to everyone?" Yu Chengxun asked.

Yang Shen looked up at Yu Chengxun and asked, "Explain what?"

Yu Chengxun said: "Perhaps the right servant of the Ministry of Rites is not a good job. Just like the previous tasks undertaken by Jing Dao, they all made great efforts and were not rewarded. We may have misunderstood Jing Dao."

After calming down, Yu Chengxun pondered for a while. It might be because the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites is too high, so he has an opinion. But in fact, thinking about it carefully, Zhu Hao's right servant of the Ministry of Rites is probably the same as when he was the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment. When you turn around, you will still be kicked away.

Yang Shendao: "Mao Gong, do you still remember what I told you earlier? Before my father left, he told me alone?"

Yu Chengxun thought for a while, then frowned and said, "You mean, there are capable people around His Majesty to help?"

"Ah."

Yang Shendao, "I have never thought about what role Jingdao played in King Xing's mansion. In fact, my father once told me that when the eldest son of King Xingxian passed away, the Zhu family of Jinyiwei was involved, but as a member of the Zhu family of Jinyiwei, The younger brother's respect, he was actually able to be a book boy in Xing Wang's mansion, and everyone knows that he grew up with His Majesty today. Perhaps the family grievances are not related to the two of them."

Yu Chengxun asked curiously: "You mean, Jingdao has been secretly working for His Majesty? Impossible? Previously, Jingdao helped us so much, and he has always been known for his courage to speak out during the ceremony."

Yang Shen said: "But don't you think that he is too deliberate in many things?"

"That's impossible."

Yu Chengxun said, "Think about it, His Majesty was angered by his Majesty and sent him to Xishan because of the ceremony, and what he has done in the past two years... I don't believe you say that he is someone close to His Majesty. Your Majesty told him Obviously there is a grudge. Perhaps this is the reason why Jingdao has always wanted to transfer outside, because of his background, no one trusts him."

Yang Shen originally wanted Yu Chengxun to agree with his point of view, but gradually, he found that he seemed to be persuaded by Yu Chengxun.

There are indeed many things that are difficult to explain with common sense.

Yu Chengxun said: "Think about it, if Jing Dao has always been trusted by His Majesty, why does His Majesty use him now? Also, what has he done for His Majesty? In the previous court, he had made suggestions on the matter of discussing ceremonies, but it was just a situation. Forced, didn’t even the cabinet and Shi Xueshi think that Jing Dao’s opinion was biased?”

Yang Shen said nothing.

Yu Chengxun sighed: "I think it's better to find Jingdao first, and ask him what's going on face to face. But where is he now?"

Yang Shen stood up, because colleagues from the Imperial Academy were walking towards him at the door, and because Yang Shen participated in this court meeting and knew the situation in the court hall, the people from the Imperial Academy had no choice but to come to him if they wanted to ask someone for details. Yang Shen, because other people... all have too high a status, and put on too much airs. Only Yang Shen, who has been just compiling before, even if he has been promoted continuously this year, others will treat him as a friend .

……

……

When Zhu Hao was in Xishan, he heard that he was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

It was Lu Song who came to deliver the message, and Lu Song brought his son Lu Bing and Zhu Hao's apprentice Guan Jing behind him.

Guan Jing and Lu Bing have been practicing kung fu together recently. Both of them plan to participate in martial arts, but it doesn't really matter whether they participate or not. After all, they are qualified to be military households and obtain the rank of Jinyiwei, but Zhu Hao has been encouraging Only by proving themselves through martial arts can they develop better in the army.

This is also for the sake of their future career.

"Mr. Zhu, it seems that you can't stay in Xishan for a long time. I have already greeted the station and prepared a train for you to take you back to the capital." Lu Song said.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I can go back with the bus in the afternoon. Speaking of which, I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know what's going on at home. Let Xiao Bing and Guan Jing go with me."

"it is good!"

Lu Bing was quite happy.

Although he was a classmate before, Zhu Hao's status is extraordinary now. It seems to be a great honor to be by Zhu Hao's side.

……

……

At sunset, the train stops.

Zhu Hao got off the train. At this time, there was more than half an hour before the closing of the Desheng Gate, and he took the carriage that came to welcome him to the city.

He went home first and tidied up. Although he has a special residence in Xishan and the conditions are quite good, but that place is for work after all. Zhu Hao also wants to wash off his exhaustion when he returns home.

I was still resting with my eyes closed, when footsteps came from outside, it was Sun Lan who took Zhu Hao's clothes and entered the room, because Zhu Hao was still bathing in the inner room, Sun Lan didn't enter the inner room, but just put the clothes in the room. On the shelf outside, there was a reminder by the way: "Sir, the clothes are ready."

They say they are husband and wife, but they don't look like husband and wife.

Always like friends.

Sun Lan turned and left the room, but Zhu Hao didn't say anything about letting her stay.

After Zhu Hao got up and tidied himself up and came out with his clothes on, Sun Lan hurriedly let Zhu Hao into the room, where a fire was burning.

"The same is true for my husband. It's the twelfth lunar month. Why do you want to come out? You don't even have dry hair."

Saying that, Sun Lan wanted to dry Zhu Hao's hair, but she was a little restrained, and finally returned the towel to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao took it and wiped it casually, and said with a smile: "It's been more than a month to go to Xishan, it's too hard there, it's better at home."

"Why do you want to go to Xishan?"

Sun Lan always wanted to ask, but Zhu Hao didn't know how to explain things to her.

Zhu Hao said: "Because I want to upgrade the technology of the train locomotive, so that it can pull more and run faster... This time I came back because I was promoted."

Sun Lan obviously didn't know about Zhu Hao's promotion, and was looking over with curious eyes. After meeting Zhu Hao's eyes, she followed the etiquette and moved her eyes away. Impolite behavior, the wife depends on the position of the husband's chin.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and also a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and a young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu. The official is the third rank."

"why is that?"

Sun Lan knew about Zhu Hao's relationship with the emperor, but she still didn't expect that her husband would become the Minister of Rites all at once?

This official promotion... can't be called fast, it can be said to be very fast... Isn't this too arbitrary?
If you want to rise, you can rise slowly and step by step. Why do you want to rise to such a high position all at once?Aren't you making trouble for yourself?
Zhu Hao sighed: "Because His Majesty can't wait for the result of the discussion of the ceremony, so he wants me to go to the Ministry of Rites. Of course, when the discussion of the ceremony is completed, His Majesty may take advantage of the situation and promote me again."

Sun Lan shook her head: "If you get promoted again, you can't be a minister, right?"

"Who knows?"

Zhu Hao didn't come to a conclusion.

It's as if he didn't fight for Zhu Si's move to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. Zhu Si has two relatively good choices, one is to let Tang Yin be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, or let Zhang Cong do it, or even let Tang Yin do it. Take a step back and let people like Fang Xianfu and Gui E do it, but in comparison, Zhu Si prefers Zhu Hao to take the responsibility.

After three years, Zhu Si was also a little tired. Zhu Hao had been hiding in the dark. Now it was like taking advantage of Jiang Mian's retirement and when an era was about to end, Zhu Hao was promoted to usher in the next era.

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to court, and I will argue with His Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to replace it with someone else." Zhu Hao said.

Sun Lan looked over curiously again.

Zhu Hao explained: "After all, I don't have enough qualifications. This has to be done. I'm going through the motions. But in the end, I will be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. Let's see what position I will be put in after a few years. I guess it will be Go around the yamen of the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Rites."

Sun Lan said: "Then Mr. Xiang may be busy soon."

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I'm already very busy. Being idle is just a misunderstanding of others. The past few years of being the number one in the exam have been the busiest time in my life. It's time to pay attention to my family. Let's wait a few years... this family , need to look more like home.”

Hearing this, Sun Lan's pretty face was a little hot, and she didn't know if it was because of the oven, or shyness, or because her heart was hot.

She understood what Zhu Hao meant.

After the matter of Daliyi is settled and they settle down after the year, the relationship between the two will go further.
