Jinyi champion

Chapter 998
After Zhu Hao revealed Tang Yin's illness in front of the emperor, the news of Tang Yin's serious illness was no longer a secret.

At first, only people in the Xingwang Mansion system knew about it, and went to visit and condolences, and then more people knew about it, because now Tang Yin's status is dignified, and no matter who likes him or hates him, they all have feelings for his death. "Weird" mentality, naturally more people came to visit.

Most of the people in the Xingwangfu system hoped that Tang Yin could live for a while longer, while the people from the hostile forces wanted to see if this guy was really going to die.

Even though Tang Yin didn't offend many people in the court, because of the great ceremony, Tang Yin still didn't get the respect that a top civil servant should have.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month.

Even Lou Suzhen knew that Tang Yin was seriously ill.

After attending the court meeting that day, Zhu Hao went to the workshop to check the storage in the warehouse of the weaving workshop. When he saw Lou Suzhen who came from the arsenal, Lou Suzhen went to Zhu Hao to verify it in person.

"...It is estimated that it has only happened in the past few months."

Zhu Hao said something.

Originally, Zhu Hao thought that Lou Suzhen would be very sad, even if she and Tang Yin did not become lovers, it was still a bosom friend.

But after Lou Suzhen heard the news, she didn't show any sadness, as if she accepted everything calmly.

Zhu Hao said: "Concubine Ning can go to visit, but I don't think he may want to see you. Between you... I really don't understand."

Lou Suzhen said: "Master, you don't claim to see all human affairs in the world, why don't you understand this matter? Even his life and death are not within your expectation?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I only said that he might have a catastrophe this year, but I can't predict his life or death. If I could have prepared for this, I would have treated him long ago, so that I wouldn't be in the situation I am today. I think this The people in the world who don't want him to leave the most are me, and the other..."

Did not go on.

The remaining person could be Lou Suzhen, Tang Yin's current wife, Tang Yin's daughter, or even a friend unknown to outsiders.

Lou Suzhen thought for a while, seemed to remember something, and said leisurely: "I don't know when, I once saw a sentence in the son's handwriting, which is called life and death, and I have a lot of emotions."

Zhu Haodao: "These words come from "Baopuzi·Inner Chapter·Duisu". There is nothing to be emotional about. Most of them are the sighs of doctors for those who cannot be cured. In this world, I am often regarded as a scholar, but sometimes I will also be regarded as a doctor who can help the world, and when I encounter a disease that is difficult to treat, I will also express some sad words of resentment. Madam, don’t take it to heart.”

"My son, you can see clearly."

Zhu Hao couldn't even distinguish Lou Suzhen's words, whether she was complimenting her or ridiculing her.

this woman...

Zhu Hao found it difficult to understand.

But think about it, one who used to be a princess, and even had the opportunity to be a queen, wants to live a normal life for the rest of her life, and also wants to pursue something that she has never experienced in the first half of her life...

Isn't this a complex contradiction in itself?

"Madam, won't you visit?" Zhu Hao asked.

Lou Suzhen said: "Didn't the young master tell you all? He might not want to see me, so why bother to add pain to each other? When he goes into the coffin, I will go to see him for the last time."

"..."

Now it was Zhu Hao's turn to be speechless.

Is Lou Suzhen planning to draw a line with Tang Yin in this life?

See you again when you enter the coffin, which means that you will not go when you mourn?really...

Hard enough.

No wonder Tang Yin mentioned that there will be a sense of desolation of "I have my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch".

……

……

Lou Suzhen fully maintained her aloof and calm side in front of Zhu Hao.

But when Zhu Hao saw Sun Lan and learned Lou Suzhen's reaction from Sun Lan...but found that Lou Suzhen was also a hard-hearted woman.

"...My sister has been listless for the past two days. I asked her and found out that she hasn't had a good rest for a few days. She is distracted every day and doesn't know what she is thinking. Yesterday, she was seen drinking alone, and she didn't say anything when asked." Sun Lan knew Lou Suzhen She also treats Lou Suzhen as an "idol" because of her true identity.

After all, Lou Suzhen is a symbol of a woman of the times. For a woman like Sun Lan who has a distinctive personality and has been educated, Lou Suzhen is a sister who understands the world, is also very talented, and treats her very well... It seems that there is no reason not to treat her sincerely. .

Another point... that is, Sun Lan is too kind.

Zhu Hao said: "Don't worry about her, literati, they always like to do some duplicity. As the saying goes, taking off your pants and farting needlessly refers to the two of them... Forget it, I won't say indecent words!"

Sun Lan blushed and gave her husband a white look.

Is there anything more indecent than blurting out such vulgar words?

What literati?
Are you not a literati yourself?

And it seems even more duplicity that person is you, right?
"Mr. Tang's condition is not optimistic. She and Mr. Tang have a close relationship, so how could she not be worried? But knowing that after meeting, there is nothing to say, it would be better not to see each other... That kind of sadness is more like the 'dream' pursued by literati. The feeling of seeing each other like old people in the middle of the world', people don't seek real existence, but only an artistic conception, what can you do?"

Zhu Hao was also quite helpless.

He didn't understand what was going on with Gao Shan Liushui's friendship, anyway, in his opinion, Tang Yin and Lou Suzhen were just looking for abuse on their own.

Zhu Hao almost didn't say, that sister you love even helps your husband take a concubine. In her eyes, you are nothing more than a tool person. You are so confiding... aren't you stupid?

Zhu Hao would guess some things in his heart, but he couldn't say them.

Sun Lan said: "Recently, I received a letter from my father. He has returned to Anlu, reminding me to take care of my family. He also said that I can't take care of the affairs of the inner court during fair times. Let my concubine take good care of my mother-in-law and Xiaoting..."

"Ah."

……

……

Zhu Hao is writing something at this time, it is not very important, just to do a simple sorting out of the current business.

To say that he is currently in court, he is not very busy.

It was discussed with Zhu Si that he would be transferred to the Ministry of Industry, but this matter will probably not be implemented until after the year. The position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites is still held by Zhu Hao, but he rarely goes to the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites Shu didn't want to see Zhu Hao either, because Xi Shu couldn't tell who was the real leader of the Ministry of Rites.

As for others...he didn't want to see Zhu Hao either.

So...

Even though Zhu Hao holds several important positions, he still sees his head and doesn't see his tail. He doesn't even have to attend the morning court every day. Anyway, the emperor doesn't care if he sees him. In the past few days, only Shi Ping, who has just joined the cabinet I mentioned it once.

As a result, the other three members of the cabinet did not answer Shi Ping's question.

Shi Ping was probably also very boring.

Both Liu Chun and Huang Zan knew about Zhu Hao's position in the imperial party, and although Fei Hong didn't know it very well, he basically knew that Zhu Hao was a different kind in the court. After the Zuoshunmen incident, a strange power vortex formed in the court , the center of the vortex is almost in a vacuum state.

The civil servants could have been twisted into a rope to form a force that could compete with the imperial power, and the leader of this force was the head of the civil servants.

However, because the emperor had severely taught civil servants a lesson in the Zuoshunmen incident, Fei Hong could not afford to be the head of the civil servants, and he did not intend to fight the emperor head-on, and the Yili sect suffered heavy losses in this incident. So now no one in the court dares to challenge the emperor.

When the vortex in the power struggle has not yet subsided, the core naturally cannot be determined. Many people vaguely feel that Zhu Hao may become the core...

Whether they like Zhu Hao or hate him, they would rather treat Zhu Hao as a transparent person.

To the greatest extent possible, a boy who has been in the court for only three years should be prevented from becoming the master of the Ming court, so that Zhu Hao would become a transparent person of the court.

……

……

When Zhu Hao was sorting out the accounts, Sun Lan came in to look at them a few times, and brought tea a few times.

Every time Zhu Hao just took a sip, so Sun Lan could only frequently pour cold water and replace it with hot tea, and when changing the charcoal brazier, she called the servant girl to accompany her.

Sun Lan's busyness made Zhu Hao somewhat unbearable, and before the second watch, he asked Sun Lan to rest.

Sun Lan knew very well that Zhu Hao didn't plan to consummate the marriage with her at the moment, so she didn't put pressure on Zhu Hao. She only used her identity as a wife to take care of her husband when Zhu Hao came back... This can be regarded as the Sun family of a scholarly family. Small form tutoring.

For Zhu Hao, he doesn't need a submissive wife.

But for a court official who has come out of a patriarchal society, this is actually not necessary. Don't think about how unreasonable the existing rules are, as long as all the rules look smooth and self-consistent.

Zhu Hao made some changes subtly. After all, he has made Sun Lan the big shopkeeper in the business.

"Mr. Zhu, Your Majesty has summoned you into the palace."

In this situation, Jin Yiwei came to break Zhu Hao's peaceful life.

Zhu Hao hasn't finished sorting out his accounts, so he can only wear good clothes... There is no need to wear court clothes, and he has entered the palace many times in the middle of the night. "Convulsion".

For example, he had a quarrel with Empress Chen, or suddenly thought of some money-making idea, or found some treasure in the inner vault of the palace...

Zhu Hao found that Zhu Si was a little "abnormal" now.

This is probably Zhu Sizheng's performance when he realizes that the power is in his hands, and the ministers can't compete with him. After being addicted to the emperor, he is eager to share with others when he has joy and pride, and Zhu Hao is his best listener.

So Zhu Si never thought about what Zhu Hao was doing at night, and whenever he thought about it, he would call Zhu Hao into the palace.

Fortunately, Zhu Si did not force Zhu Hao to stay in the palace overnight, and even made more excessive demands.

But who knows if that will be the case in the future?

"Your Majesty mentioned that there is a change in the Tatars in the northwest. I hope that Mr. Zhu can provide a strategy to send troops to the grassland and defeat the Tatars in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Zuo reminded in a low voice when leading Zhu Hao into the palace.

Another whimsical puzzle!
Zhu Hao found out.

The current Zhu Si is more and more like his cousin, with something in his genes, he is also a young emperor, and he probably likes Vega Sihai's tune.
