From Zhu Hao's point of view, Zhu Si can completely stay in the palace, because that is the emperor's stronghold.

Why are you leaving the palace?

It is better to issue government orders from the palace than from the outside.

Hearing Zhu Hao's words, Zhang Zuo said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty insists on leaving the palace, but he just asked our family to come out and inform Mr. Zhu, and His Majesty will arrive later."

Zhu Hao narrowed his eyes.

Zhu Si is very brave now. It is an adventure to walk out of the palace gate when the capital may undergo major changes at any time, especially when Zuoshun gate is blocked by scholars. Now the entire palace should be for the world. Watch out, maybe someone is still secretly staring at the gate of the palace...

Either Zhu Si is really courageous, or he is a little nervous.

It may also be that the sense of security is insufficient, and you have to go out of the palace to find some sustenance and comfort.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Then protect His Majesty's safety, and don't let Xiaoxiao take advantage of it."

"Yes Yes."

Zhang Zuo bowed his hand and took the order.

This respectful attitude embarrassed Zhu Hao.

How respectful is your status as an eunuch in the palm of your hands as a dignified ceremonial supervisor?We are discussing this, not the relationship between superiors and subordinates, you don't need to follow my orders.

……

……

Zhang Zuo didn't go back to the palace, but just sent someone back to report to Zhu Si, Zhu Hao felt that it was no big problem for Shengjia to leave the palace.

Zhang Zuo went to wait in the flower hall of Sixian Residence first, probably he was tired too.

Tang Yin said: "Is there really Xiaoxiao? If so, who would it be?"

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "It can't be me, can it?"

"Be serious, this is also where you talk nonsense?" Tang Yin scolded Zhu Hao for being unrestrained with a straight face.

Zhu Hao smiled and didn't take it seriously.

If he has to be a courtier who avoids everything, then he will not be far away from being suspected by the emperor. Since he chooses to be friends with Zhu Si, sometimes friends should speak clearly... Although many times it is still A lie, but the lie also has to sound like the truth.

Then you need some speaking skills and maintain an outspoken style.

And Zhu Hao was right...the one who really made Zhu Si fall into danger repeatedly was him.

But it was he who saved Zhu Si in the end.

The two phases cancel out.

Soon, Zhang Cong showed up at Sixianju with Gui E. After getting a message from Zhang Zuo, Zhang Cong was very familiar with the way to Sixianju. After arriving, he was invited to the yard, but he didn't even have a room. Get ready for them both.

"Bingyong, why did you come here? Where is this?"

Not long after Gui E arrived in the capital, she didn't know that the emperor had such a secret base outside the palace, let alone what it was for.

Zhang Cong's face was tense all the time, he raised his hand to interrupt Gui E's chattering question, and said in a low voice: "Wait for someone to come out to receive you later, don't be impatient."

After waiting for a while, Zhang Zuo came.

Gui E was startled, and hurried forward to salute: "I have seen Mr. Zhang."

Because Zhang Zuo's status was so high that Gui E didn't dare to call Zhang Zuo "father-in-law" casually, and simply omitted one word, which sounded more respectful to Zhang Zuo.

Zhang Zuo smiled and said, "Both of you are ministers of the Great Ming, why bother to see outsiders? I don't know how many others..."

Zhang Cong said: "The person who sent the news has already gone, and it is estimated that he will arrive soon."

"Ah."

Zhang Zuo smiled and made a "please" gesture, and said, "Come this way."

Then Gui E followed Zhang Zuo and Zhang Cong with great anxiety, full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask any more casual questions, so he came to the core of Sixianju - the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, Zhu Hao and Tang Yin had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Bingyong?"

Zhu Hao greeted with a smile.

Gui E was very surprised to see Zhu Hao and Tang Yin there, he had only met Zhu Hao once, and he wasn't even sure who this young man in uniform was, but he knew Tang Yin, so he hurried up to greet him.

Zhang Zuo said: "Several, wait here first, Your Majesty will arrive later."

"This……"

Gui E was even more surprised.

Now that a major event is happening at Zuoshunmen, it is easy to understand that Tang Yin and Zhu Hao, the teachers and students, appeared at the meeting place with them. Maybe the emperor wanted them to get together to discuss countermeasures, but if the emperor came in person... the meaning It's extraordinary.

Gui E is determined to make a fortune, but he is only an imperial servant at the moment, and he seems to be far away from success, so he naturally wants to see the emperor more often.

Zhang Zuo didn't say anything, and sat down first.

The rest of the people were also sitting.

Zhang Cong really wanted to go forward and ask Zhu Hao what the next step was, but seeing the situation, no one wanted to explain to him, so he could only wait.

After waiting for a long time, Fang Xianfu and Huo Tao came first.

Both were equally confused.

But seeing that in this room, except for Zhu Hao who is not strictly a member of the Rites School, the rest are the core members of the Rites School, and each of them said nothing. They all felt that they could see the situation clearly. It was the emperor who summoned them. Discuss the countermeasure... I don't know at all, this countermeasure doesn't need them to discuss at all, because someone present can decide it with one word.

Before the arrival of the emperor, the last one to arrive was Xishu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Although Xi Shu is currently the No. [-] figure in the Yili School after Huang Zan, and his status is relatively respected, he doesn't know Zhu Hao's existence. After arriving, he still frowned when several people went to see the ceremony.

Apparently, Xi Shu doesn't like this kind of private gathering. In his opinion, even if there is a matter of etiquette to discuss, or to come up with a countermeasure, such a small meeting should not be held. Put it aside!
"I've seen Xibutang."

After seeing Xi Shu, Gui E was the most enthusiastic. This person in front of him is already a big man of Shangshu level that he rarely gets close to, so he needs to seize the opportunity.

"Everyone, just wait patiently."

Zhang Zuo still said the same thing, "Your Majesty will be there soon."

Fang Xianfu didn't take his seat, and asked: "I don't know if I'm invited to come, what's the matter? I should tell you in advance, if His Majesty comes in person... It's not the right time right now. I can report to His Majesty after the results of the discussion."

Zhang Zuo shook his head helplessly, meaning that there were some things that were not convenient to talk about.

Zhang Cong interjected: "I wonder if Mr. Huang Ge will come?"

Most of the people present didn't know what to do today's gathering. They thought they were here to discuss countermeasures. Only Zhang Cong knew that this matter was not simple. Since Zhu Hao appeared here, why did the emperor look for them? To ask policy?From the very beginning, wasn't Zhu Hao the one behind the big ceremony?
Zhang Cong asked about Huang Zan because now he wanted to unite with Huang Zan to suppress Tang Yin and Zhu Hao's influence on the emperor's side.

This is a head-on confrontation between the Yili faction and the old forces of Xingwangfu.

If Huang Zan was not around, Zhang Cong felt that if he only relied on Xi Shu, he might not even be qualified to challenge Tang Yin, let alone Zhu Hao, who had always been mysterious.

Zhang Cong only knew that Zhu Hao played a very important role in the ceremony, but he didn't know much about how much Zhu Hao had done for the emperor.

Zhang Zuo said: "Your Majesty did not ask to go to inform Elder Huang Ge. There is something happening at the palace gate right now. It is estimated that the cabinet will also conduct some discussions."

This means that Huang Zan won't be bothered at unusual times, and as the elder of Huang Zan's pavilion, it's inconvenient to appear here.

……

……

After all, Zhu Si came out from the inner garden of the palace, and no one could urge the emperor, so they waited in peace.

The emperor didn't come, so some topics were not easy to discuss casually. Even if Xi Shu stood up to express his opinions a few times, Zhang Zuo slapped him with a smile and prevaricated them.

Finally, Zhu Si appeared in Sixian House.

Everyone went forward to salute together.

Xi Shuben wanted to follow Zhang Zuo to salute the emperor.

This is an orderly etiquette, but Zhang Zuo did not move forward for a long time, but looked back at Tang Yin and Zhu Hao. At this time, he needed to be ranked. Zhang Zuo asked himself if he dared not walk in front of Zhu Hao. He was also very sensible and let Zhu Hao walk in front of him.

Then Zhu Hao stepped towards the door under everyone's surprised eyes. After he passed by Zhang Zuo, Zhang Zuo deliberately pushed back and walked side by side with Tang Yin, followed by Xi Shu and Zhang Cong.

Witnessing this strange phenomenon, Xi Shu felt extremely awkward.

Although it is not necessarily necessary to line up to meet the holy driver, but seeing Zhu Hao being so ignorant...he can only wonder how the young man in front of him got into the first prize?
Even if you are now the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, or even the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Shifu, but in terms of status, you are not as good as the Hanlin bachelor!Not to mention the eunuch who is in charge of the ceremony and me, the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"See Your Majesty!"

After all, it happened too suddenly, and Xi Shu didn't have time to teach Zhu Hao a lesson, mainly because Zhang Zuo deliberately stopped and waited for Zhu Hao.

When Zhu Si came in, seeing the people in the room, he immediately felt at ease, and said with a smile, "Are all your family members here? You don't need to be formal outside the palace...Is this place okay?"

The emperor is easy-going and easy-going, making people feel like a spring breeze. It seems that he is not a nine-five-year-old king sitting in the world, but more like a half-grown boy next door.

"His Majesty……"

Xi Shu was about to step forward to persuade the emperor to let him return to the palace, and by the way, he also made it clear that it is not appropriate to hold a small meeting in private.

But Zhu Si's eyes were not on Xi Shu. After all, in Zhu Si's eyes, Xi Shu was just a book from the Ministry of Rites recommended by Zhu Hao. At such a critical moment, why should I ask your opinion?
"My respect, Mr. Tang..."

Zhu Si stared straight at Zhu Hao, and only greeted Tang Yin perfunctorily.

Because the emperor called Zhu Hao before Tang Yin, the people around him were at a loss.

"At present, a large number of people have gathered at Zuoshunmen, mainly officials from the Sixth Division and the Hanlin Academy, plus courtiers from the Sixth Division and various temples and government offices. They are making trouble there. I have restrained myself and almost sent someone to take I was just about to ask your opinion." Zhu Sidao.

your opinion?

Why not you?
Who is this you?

Xi Shu, Gui E and the others looked at Zhang Zuo first. Zhang Zuo was very sensible, and stood aside to listen respectfully. Then they looked at Tang Yin, who just stood there, smiling and watching a pair of teenagers talking, as if nothing had happened. own appearance.

Zhu Haodao: "Your Majesty still needs to be patient for a while, and everything will have to wait until the afternoon. As for how to deal with it, I don't want to make suggestions casually. This is a matter of the royal family."

When Zhu Hao spoke, several people around who didn't know Zhu Hao's identity took a breath.

Zhu Si was furious: "Why do you want me to endure? How long will I endure? They are starting to shake the door now! If they bring out Taizu, Taizong and Emperor Xiaozong to blackmail me if they are dissatisfied, what will I do in the future? Are you going to be coerced by them? I must let them know the fate of going against me this time!"
