Jinyi champion

After Zhu Hao arrived in the capital, he seldom spends time with his family, and when he comes back occasionally, he usually leaves after a meal.

This time he stayed for a longer period of time and asked Zhu Niang about the family situation, while Sun Lan accompanied Aunt Li to choose fabrics, saying that it was New Year's time to make new clothes.

"Xiaohao, after you become an official, are you still doing business outside? Every time you send money home, mother doesn't actually spend much. Everything is fine here, so you don't have to worry about it."

Although mother can't help Zhu Hao too much now, her concern for Zhu Hao is obvious.

Zhu Hao said: "I have been helping His Majesty with business, and some of them are left to my wife. If you don't believe me, you can ask her. Recently, Mr. Tang has been ill, and he may be about to... Sigh! I have been busy for a long time , now I feel that we should pay more attention to family affection."

"What happened to Mr. Tang?"

Zhu Niang is very grateful to Tang Yin.

In her opinion, if it wasn't for Tang Yin, Zhu Hao would not have achieved what he is today, and he was his son's "enlightenment teacher".

Zhu Hao reminded: "Mother, go and visit if you have time. Mr. Tang may have a baby at the beginning of next year, but he may not be able to wait until that day."

People these days, birth, old age, sickness and death are too common.

Although Zhu Niang was sad when she heard the words, she didn't show much intolerance. Instead, she sighed: "Good man, why don't you live long? Judging by his age, he is not very old. Mr. Yuan also died when he first arrived in the capital. , Speaking of which, you have many benefactors in the palace, so you must not forget your roots."

"Ah."

Zhu Hao didn't like listening to his old lady nagging.

Now that Zhu Niang is getting older and has no grandchildren to take care of her, she has nothing to do, and sometimes Zhu Hao really can't stand the verbosity.

"In the future, you will accompany your mother to visit Mr. Tang. He is a good man."

The simplest evaluation is that Tang Yin is a good person, probably in Zhu Niang's eyes, there is no other more appropriate word.

……

……

After coming out of the house, it was after sunset again. Although Aunt Li had asked the maid to clean up the room for Zhu Hao and his wife, Zhu Hao still insisted on taking Sun Lan back home.

"After the master became a servant, more and more people came to visit, and the concubine was often unable to go out."

In the carriage, Sun Lan briefly explained to Zhu Hao what had happened to her family recently. It was also because the Zuoshunmen incident was widely involved, and more people came to Zhu Hao to intercede.

However, there are still very few people in the court who know Zhu Hao's true identity.

Tang Yin and Zhu Hao's place is already full of people, and it is estimated that Zhang Cong's side is even more overwhelmed.

Zhu Hao said: "Don't worry about it, now I'm just the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. People who come to visit will go away if they don't see my face."

Sun Lan asked: "Is there no room for relaxation? From the greeting cards I handed in, I can see that many people have been punished by the cane, and they still come every ten days... I asked Lou's sister , she said that this is an important matter for the court, and women should not ask about it."

Shouldn't have asked!

Lou Suzhen was right about this point, but women are gossips at any time, if Sun Lan still doesn't ask about this kind of matter involving Zhu Hao, it will appear careless.

Sun Lanhui is very kind, and women who have read books think differently from ordinary women in the market. In fact, Sun Lan wants to know what substantial impact this will have on Zhu Hao's future life.

Zhu Hao said: "If I say that I caused all this, will you accept it?"

Sun Lan thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Your Majesty insisted on doing it, so how could it be caused by Xianggong alone?"

"Ugh!"

Zhu Hao sighed, "Actually, it's almost the same. Whatever your majesty thinks, a courtier must do. I grew up with your majesty since we were young, and we have experienced too many things. In fact, it is not impossible to help your majesty consolidate the throne in this way. I also Trying to save some people has no effect, this is not only the long-standing evil result of the conflict between the monarch and his ministers, but also a huge conflict of ideas, a struggle for power, and there is no way to reconcile it."

Sun Lan smiled and comforted: "You don't have to blame yourself. Since it's a court dispute, many things cannot be changed by human power. It's better to be a witness than passively accept changes."

"Ah."

Zhu Hao thought for a while, and Sun Lan was quite insightful.

When he returned to Daming, although many things changed, Zhu Hao did not forcibly intervene in some major events related to the background of the times, such as Zhu Houzhao's death after drowning, Da Liyi and even the Zuoshunmen incident, even if he did not agree with some of the historical events. As a result, they were still unwilling to make changes.

The reason is that, as Sun Lan said, sometimes he wants to be a witness instead of blindly changing and causing greater chaos in history.

……

……

It was another night when husband and wife separated, Zhu Hao left home and went straight to Sixianju.

There are still a large number of memorials waiting for him to review. Now, except for Zhang Zuo who occasionally comes to help, Zhu Hao is the one who makes the reviews all the time. Tang Yin will never come again.

A lot of summaries and write-offs a year ago, the huge military expenditure in the Northwest, and the increasing expenditure of the household department after Sun Jiao left...

Sun Jiaofa can't do anything else, but saving money is really good. In the past two months, Zhu Si has reached out to the Ministry of Households many times, and transferred 30 taels of silver from the Ministry of Households to be used for the Xingwang Mansion and the palace buildings. Repair.

When Yang Tinghe was in court, the first thing he thought of was to limit the emperor's financial resources, let the emperor live a tight life, and cut off his evil thoughts.

This is the choice Yang Tinghe made after summarizing the gains and losses of the Zhengde dynasty.

At that time, it was all relying on Zhu Hao to make money to ease everything.

With the advancement of railway construction and shipbuilding, the wealth that Zhu Hao can provide to the palace has not been substantially expanded, but in fact it has not stopped and has increased, but even this cannot satisfy Zhu Si's appetite .

Zhu Si realized the supremacy of the imperial power, and in addition to bossing around, he also wanted to control the wealth of the world.

When the emperor asks for a lot of expenses for the ceremony, after all, he has to build the ancestral hall for his father, as well as the rewards from the queen and concubine's family, and the very important point of being an emperor...maintaining daily dignity, etc., all of which are based on having enough money on the basis of money supply.

Even the purchase and purchase of various places in the south of the Yangtze River has increased investment, which is also to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

"Mr. Zhu, are you still there?"

Zhu Hao was reading the memorabilia alone, but Wang Zuo appeared at the door, but he didn't go in.

Zhu Hao raised his head and asked, "Commander Wang, what's the matter?"

Wang Zuo just came in, clasped his fists and said, "There is a message from Dongchang, saying that some people will be sent out of Beijing according to the oracle tomorrow. Eunuch Huang asked Xiaozhi to hand over the list to you to see if you have any opinions."

Zhu Hao said: "These things can be reported to His Majesty, I already know the specific situation."

After the second cane punishment, the emperor also knew that if this continues, more people will be killed... Four people were killed in the second time, and a total of five people were killed. This is actually better than the 17 people who died in history. A lot has happened, but there are still bloody cases that should be there, and history will still record this brutal scene.

Of course, there are currently five dead. In the next few days, it is hard to say whether there will be more deaths due to injuries.

Wang Zuo walked up to Zhu Hao, and said in a low voice, "The Imperial Academy attendant, Bachelor Yang, will be dispatched to Yongchangwei in Yunnan Province. He will take the shackles on the road tomorrow morning. Before he left, he told the humble officer that he hoped to see you again."

Yang Shen...

Zhu Hao didn't want to see him, he had nothing to talk to Yang Shen about.

Zhu Hao once helped Yang Shen, hoping that through the improvement of Yang Shen's status, his mentality would be corrected, and he would no longer be the leader of the event, but it seems that he committed the kind of taboo Liu Chun said... Obviously knowing that the minister directly Once such a thing as admonishment occurs, Yang Shen, who has inherited the mantle of Yang Tinghe, will not be able to escape. Why do he have to fight for it?

Besides, a person like Yang Shen is not worth his help.

If it is only because of pity for his talent, there are many talented people in this world, and it is not enough to change the direction of history for one Yang Shen.

"decide as things go."

Zhu Hao didn't decide whether to meet him or not.

He suddenly thought of someone, and said to Wang Zuo, "Commander Wang, please go and bring me someone. I want to talk to him tonight."

……

……

The person Zhu Hao wants to meet is also Xu Jie who has left a strong mark in history.

It's just that from the perspective of time development, that is a matter of the future, and with the appearance of Zhu Hao, whether Xu Jie can become the minister of the Ming Dynasty like in history, or even the key figure to set things right, has become an uncertain factor.

With Zhu Hao around, the rise of some figures in history will be restricted.

For example, now that Zhu Hao is targeting Xia Yan, he will deal with Yan Song next.

When some people rise up, they will definitely become Zhu Hao's strong opponents, and Zhu Hao will strangle them in the cradle... But for Xu Jie, Zhu Hao will not be cruel, or in Zhu Hao's eyes, Xu Jie Hierarchs are not the enemy.

Although Zhu Hao also knew that Xu Jie's "putting things right" in the future might be aimed at him, Zhu Hao.

"Jingdao... No, I should call you Zhu Xueshi. Where is this place?"

Xu Jie walked into the conference hall, everything here made him feel very fresh.

Recently, Xu Jie was promoted to Xiuzhuan, but even he himself didn't know how he got there. After all, it was less than a year since Xu Jie passed the Jinshi examination.

Other editors may not be promoted in three years, and there are also those who have been promoted in six or nine years. By.

Xu Jie did not take part in this ceremony event.

"sit down."

At this time, Zhu Hao had put away all the memorials, and just wanted to chat with Xu Jie.

Xu Jie looked calm after sitting down. The recent Zuoshunmen incident had not had a big impact on him, and he would not care about the situation of the group of people who are still in prison... Or, this is what he wanted to know. I dare not know.

Xu Jie became cautious.

Zhu Hao said: "Yongxiu will be dispatched to Yunnan Yongchangwei tomorrow, you and I will go to give him a farewell party together."

"how come?"

Xu Jie was dumbfounded and astonished.

Yang Shen, as a lecturer of the Imperial Academy, was envied by too many people, but he fell into the mundane world in a blink of an eye. Of course Xu Jie knew that this was the result of cruel political suppression.

Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "Don't be too surprised, it's his fate. We just went to see him off as friends, and it's useless to talk too much outside the topic."
