Jinyi champion

The 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

The last early morning a year ago.

Zhu Si went mad in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and scolded those ministers who knelt in front of Zuo Shun's gate to remonstrate, even though none of these people are currently in the hall.

He Mengchun, the only left servant who could go to court, was also transferred to Nanjing as the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, and the Nanjing Ministry of Industry had only one servant, and Zhang Cong, the right servant, was transferred to Nanjing. Go to Nanjing to find a job.

The emperor scolded very vigorously, and scolded for no less than half an hour. The ministers wondered whether the emperor had memorized the words in advance, or if he was so angry that he could scold for half an hour without repeating the same thing.

After scolding, Zhu Si did not listen to the minister's report, and directly announced his withdrawal from the court.

But when he was leaving the throne, the emperor suddenly remembered something, stopped and told the minister loudly that he wanted to promote another person from the Imperial Academy to the cabinet...

"At present, there are a little less Hanlin Bachelors, and I plan to add one or two more Hanlin Bachelors!"

Zhu Si made a supplement.

Then he sent the four existing cabinet ministers to the Palace of Qianqing, as if to hold a small meeting.

……

……

The court will be disbanded.

Because Zhu Hao was not included in the summons, he went out of the palace as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. He was also planning to take the train to Xishan that day and return before night.

"Jingdao, what does Your Majesty mean?" Xi Shu didn't understand the emperor's intention, so he had to ask Zhu Hao on the way out of the palace after the court was over.

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty wants to cultivate cronies."

The answer was blunt and direct, which made Xi Shu somewhat uncomfortable.

The word "confidante" always has a slightly derogatory connotation. The emperor's cronies sound like close sycophants, and as far as Xi Shu knows, Zhu Hao is the head of the emperor's circle of people. Doesn't this mean that Zhu Hao is laughing at himself?

"who is it?"

Xi Shu asked.

From this point, Zhu Hao felt that Xi Shu seemed to be a little interested in both joining the cabinet and being a Hanlin bachelor.

If you are not interested, you will not ask him.

Zhu Haodao: "Your Majesty wants to promote Tang Xueshi from the Imperial Academy to the cabinet. As for who will take over the position of Hanlin Bachelor, that's unknown."

Zhu Hao really didn't know.

Zhu Si now has all the power and is enjoying the joy of being the emperor to do whatever he wants, except that Tang Yin's promotion was suggested by Zhu Hao, and the addition of Hanlin bachelors was a decision made by the emperor, and he did not discuss it with Zhu Hao in advance. Pass.

As for who to add...

Zhu Hao also knew that the emperor probably wanted to promote him, but he had said in advance that he wanted to go to the Ministry of Industry for a while, and he was not very interested in Hanlin Bachelor.

Besides, if Zhu Si really wanted to promote him, it would be more straightforward to promote him directly to the cabinet, and then dismiss the previous few and make him the chief assistant, but Zhu Si didn't do this, which shows that Emperor Jiajing has other Zhu Hao didn't know the plan.

In this way, it is possible for Xi Shu, Gui E and others to be selected as Hanlin Bachelors.

Xi Shu shook his head and sighed: "No matter what your Majesty thinks, it will probably be after the Lantern Festival."

Zhu Hao smiled wryly: "Your Majesty is very eager to do things now, and you won't wait that long. Even if it's a holiday, once your Majesty makes a decision, you won't procrastinate."

"Ok?"

Xi Shu thought for a while, then realized something, and sighed, "Then His Majesty's purpose of summoning several elders is almost ready."

……

……

Zhu Si summoned four members of the cabinet to talk about two things.

The first thing is very important, that is, according to Zhu Hao's request, edit the "Minglun Grand Canon", agree on the detailed procedures of the ceremony, and use this to accuse some people in the DPRK of playing a disgraceful role in this matter, so as to This is to promote some "heroes" and classify some people as "traitors".

Editing books was originally a matter of fighting against dissidents. Zhu Hao never denied this when he proposed it, but Zhu Si made it worse.

Second thing.

It is to let the four cabinet ministers elect Tang Yin to join the cabinet, and plan to promote another person to be a scholar of the imperial court.

"I know some of you have doubts. Why did I suddenly promote Mr. Tang? It's really because he is not in good health. I think he will be in a few years... Sigh! I understand Mr., and hope that before he goes west, I will help him. Fight for the glory behind you."

Zhu Si's attitude is sincere.

Of the four cabinet ministers present, except for Shi Pang who was a member of the traditional faction, the other three had no obvious objections to this.

"My minister agrees!"

Fei Hong, as the chief assistant, will not object to this matter, on the contrary, he agrees with it.

Seeing this, Shi Yan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is unreasonable to regard Juren as a great scholar."

Zhu Si sighed: "Mr. Shige, I know this matter is a bit abrupt, but I will never make a mistake. Let him enter the cabinet, but still don't let him sit in the court. Usually, he doesn't have to go to the palace or enter the value room. Occasionally he can go to the court." One trip. Within three months, I will let him take office, this is my promise, and it will not change."

Several people are thinking.

You emperor, on the issue of the Great Rites, your opinion changes every day, do you still have credibility for your promise?
But at this time, Zhu Si's face was sincere, because he felt that he would never break the appointment. Originally, he was not reluctant about whether Tang Yin would join the cabinet. It was Zhu Hao who insisted on fighting for benefits for Tang Yin, so he did so. Could it be that Tang Yin himself rarely takes up the job of being an old man?

Liu Chun followed and said, "The old minister seconded the proposal."

Huang Zan looked calm and did not comment.

Zhu Si had a look of regret on his face: "I didn't expect that Mr. Tang, who seemed to be fine, would develop to this point. At the beginning, Jingdao told me that he would have a difficult time this year, and I still didn't quite believe it... Now Only then did I know that the calculation of respect and Taoism is accurate, and the fate is so uncontrollable!"

Now Zhu Si has no scruples anymore.

Knowing that among the four people present, there were some who didn't know his relationship with Zhu Hao, but he would still say that in order to show the close relationship between Zhu Hao and him.

Shi Yan was full of doubts.

Could it be that Zhu Hao's promotion was not because of Tang Yin's recommendation?

The emperor himself and Zhu Hao... are close comrades-in-arms?

Because Zhu Hao's stance on many things was so erratic that veteran officials like Shi Pang didn't understand who Zhu Hao was.

Had guesses, but not sure.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would dare to believe that a teenage number one scholar was actually a big shot in the court for the past few years, and he was still hiding behind the scenes?

Even people like Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian didn't notice it!
Huang Zan said: "Your Majesty, I recommend Zhu Hao, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, as a scholar of the Imperial Academy."

Shi Yan was wondering, when Huang Zan said something that surprised him again.

really……

Zhu Hao is really going to soar into the sky now.

You, Huang Gongxian, did not express your opinion on Tang Yin's entry into the cabinet before, so where are your feelings waiting?
Zhu Sidao: "Forget it, respectfully, he doesn't like this job. I have already prepared to let him be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of building trains, railways, ships, and managing arsenals. As for who will be the Hanlin scholar... I will consider it as appropriate , I will also listen to the opinions of your family."

This remark surprised Shi Yan again.

He really didn't know if he didn't come to participate in the small meeting, but it was all news that he couldn't accept. The little emperor in front of him was simply nonsense.

Whether or not Zhu Hao is a Hanlin scholar depends entirely on his own interests?What else did he not like?Is this a major matter of the emperor discussing the appointment and removal of personnel in the court with others, or is it simply a child playing house?
"I plan to send Uncle Yutian back to Anlu in the next year. I can't go back to my hometown to visit, and I can't bear it. I don't know if the incense in front of my father's tomb has been maintained in the past few years. Ladies and gentlemen... I really miss Anlu. Things."

Zhu Si suddenly mentioned his hometown and his biological father Zhu Youzhao, which made several people present a little puzzled.

"Also, after the next year, I plan to make some changes to the ceremony." Zhu Sidao.

Shi Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how can we change this situation?"

The test to make your father the emperor is already over, right?Are you still messing around?

Zhu Sidao: "There can only be one emperor in my exam, the first emperor, and the other... is my uncle, how can it be possible for the emperor to take the exam? You don't even understand this truth? A child , can you have two fathers?"

This question really stumped Shi Pang.

The focus of Zuo Shunmen's previous controversy was the question of who the emperor recognized as his father.

Probably the emperor felt that the matter had calmed down now, and he had to remove Xiaozong as his father, leaving only Zhu Youzhao as his father.

Zhu Si said coldly: "It seems that you still have different opinions, but it's okay, this matter will be renegotiated after the next year, as for Jingdao... continue to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, but I plan to let him concurrently serve as the left servant of the Ministry of Industry .Do you have any comments?"

This time not only Shi Pang, but also Fei Hong had an opinion.

Serving as two servants?

What kind of game is this?Is Zhu Hao in charge of discussing the ceremony, or the affairs of the Ministry of Industry?Or be in charge of the Hanlin Academy or Zhan Shifu?
With so many positions, all of them are deputy positions, is there any practical significance?

Fei Hong said: "Your Majesty, as a minister, you should fulfill your duties. If you don't even know your position, I'm afraid it will be difficult to serve the court."

Fei Hong was being polite when he said that.

I only let you choose Zhu Hao's official position, whether it is to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites or the minister of the Ministry of Industry, if you are sure, I will not object or even support it.

But if you insist on doing both, then I can only argue with you.

Zhu Sidao: "Otherwise, what should we do? He has to be responsible for the errands on both sides, so let him take care of both sides first, and after the discussion of ceremonies is over, his position as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites will be relinquished first, and we will talk about other things later."

Sounds reasonable.

Ask Zhu Hao to be the right servant of the ceremony department temporarily. The next step in discussing the ceremony should be to clarify the issue of a father. When this matter is confirmed, then Zhu Hao will only do the same.

But if we wait for the ceremony to go further, for example, to give Zhu Youzhao a temple name, will Zhu Hao be moved out at that time?

Shi Ping said: "Your Majesty, even if you are the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the errands of the Imperial Academy and Zhan Shifu..."

Zhu Si said coldly: "Who said that only the minister of the Ministry of Rites can hold these positions, but the minister of the Ministry of Industry can't do it? Don't you all also hold the positions of ministers of various ministries? I don't want to hear those reasons, as long as he can do things for the court with all his heart , You can give him any official position. No matter how verbose you are, I will let him be the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry! You all go down!"
