Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 75 The tacit understanding between the ruler and the minister
Zhu Hou looked at Yang Lian, nodded, and then said: "Go to Yangzhou, this time is different from the last time, this time is not to inquire about news, but to do things. You can go back to Dongchang later, You don't need to serve here for the time being, and someone will go to Yangzhou with you when the time comes."

In fact, Zhu Houzhao wanted to go by himself, but he also knew that it was impossible, the courtiers would not let him go, neither would his father and queen mother.

Zhu Houzhao simply extinguished this idea, this Yang Lian is good, Zhu Houzhao thinks he can handle it well.

"After you come back from Yangzhou, I guess you will be reprimanded to the Huanyi Bureau, but don't worry, you will be fine after a while." Zhu Hou looked at Yang Lian and said in a calm tone: "When you leave, bring more people, Don't die in Yangzhou, there will be no way to save you if you want to."

What Zhu Houzhao said was not a joke at all. Yangzhou is dominated by salt merchants. Once fundamental interests are involved, rebellion is possible, let alone killing a eunuch.

"Only move the officials of the salt field, and absolutely don't implicate the local officials in the south of the Yangtze River. The salt merchants pick a few with a bad reputation, don't make big connections, don't cling to them, understand?" Zhu Hou looked at Yang Lian and asked.

Yang Lian quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the slaves will definitely live up to His Highness's trust."

"Go behind the scenes. On the surface, the nobles and relatives who work on the surface, of course, they are also secretly, but they seem to be secretly, but everyone knows, so don't let others know about you." Zhu Hou The caregiver looked at Yang Lian and said, "Do your job well, if this job is done, you will be done too."

Zhu Houzhao asked a few more words, and Zhu Houzhao didn't intend to get too involved in this matter, so he threw the pot to Dongchang.

In fact, even if Yang Lian fails in the end, the pot will at most be buckled on the head of Dongchang Changgong Yang Peng, and he has to accept it willingly.

Yang Lian also left. Zhu Houzhao took a sip of tea and heaved a sigh of relief. The first wave of the eunuch party he created has already started. As for how much they can do and how big they can do, it depends on themselves Got it.But Zhu Houzhao also knows that once they form capital, capital will eat people.

The tumbling capital is not so easy to stop, but I have to add something of my own to the tumbling capital.

There was a lot of quarreling in the imperial court about the matter of being in charge of the Yantie Division. It can be said that there was a lot of turmoil. In the past few days, there have been a lot of issues of mutual criticism among officials, especially focusing on being qualified to be the Yantie Division. When the officials of the court entered, the whole court was filled with smog.

Zhu Youtang could only issue an order to urge the cabinet to hand over the list as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed any longer.

At the same time, Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, was punished by the emperor again. This time, he not only reprimanded him, but also directly ordered him to think behind closed doors.The gossip from the palace was that Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, was also reprimanded by His Highness the Crown Prince, looking as if he was about to fall out of favor.

The autumn night was still a bit cold. Zhu Houzhao walked into the Qianqing Palace wrapped in a cloak, not far away was Zhu Youtang who was correcting the test book.

"Father, let's drink some hot soup!" Zhu Houzhao ordered the hot soup to be served, and then said, "It's going to be cold if you say it's cold. It's only September, so it's going to be so cold sooner or later."

Zhu Youtang smiled and put down the pen in his hand, then looked up at Zhu Houzhao and said, "When it's cold, wear more clothes, don't catch the cold." Zhu Youtang took a sip of the hot soup, and then nodded in satisfaction Nodded: "It's much more comfortable to eat some hot food. The cabinet booklet is handed over. Take a look."

Reaching out to take the title book, Zhu Houzhao glanced at it, and there were three candidates listed on it, one was the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, one was the right capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the other was a member of the Imperial Academy.

All three of them have enough qualifications, and all of them seem to be suitable, but Zhu Houzhao knows that none of them are suitable.If these people were allowed to be the officers in charge of the Yantie Division, it would basically be the same as before, and it would be absolutely impossible to achieve the purpose that Zhu Houzhao wanted to use his arms and fingers.

"Who is the father going to appoint?" Zhu Houzhao put the question book back and said calmly.

"These three people are not suitable!" Zhu Youtang didn't look up, and the expression on his face didn't change. He just said in a calm tone: "It's not suitable to be promoted from the household department. How is it different from before? People from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Do you know the Ministry of Households? The Department of Salt and Iron is a big deal, how can you be so hasty?"

"The same is true for the members of the Hanlin Academy, so this person is not suitable, and the question papers will be sent back to let the cabinet re-designate the candidate."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, picked up the red pen to give instructions, and then put the question book back.

Zhu Youtang raised his head to look at Zhu Houzhao, and then said with a smile, "What? Are you impatient? Don't worry, work slowly and carefully, and you have to give some leeway to the cabinet scholars."

Of course, Zhu Houzhao understood what Zhu Youtang meant. In fact, this matter was of great importance. If the cabinet really recommended Qi You, the cabinet would definitely be criticized, maybe it would be verbal criticism.If several copybooks were typed back in a row, then the emperor insisted on using Qi You.

"What if the cabinet doesn't do anything?" Zhu Houzhao looked at his father hesitantly and asked with some uncertainty.

Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao: "If you don't even think about it, if you don't want to do it, then what's the use of this cabinet scholar?"

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect his father to say such awesome words in such a flat tone.

"If you love feathers, you should become a speech officer, be an imperial court, if you like money, you should go to the camp. If the cabinet cherishes feathers, that's not enough. If you want the cabinet, you can also like money, but it's not enough if you only like money." Zhu You Tang looked at Zhu Houzhao, smiled and said, "I think I have a good vision."

Zhu Houzhao didn't know where his father's confidence came from, but he didn't plan to say anything, just waited quietly.

The matter soon made Zhu Houzhao admire his father. After the second proposed list was handed in, Zhu Youtang called back again without any hesitation. When the third time was handed in, the list appeared Hu Ke gave the name of Qi You in the matter.Zhu Houzhao couldn't believe his eyes, it was so simple?
Zhu Youtang looked at his son who was holding the list in his hand, and said with a smile, "Surprised? Isn't it what a courtier should do to figure out the holy will?"

Zhu Houzhao was a little confused. He looked at the list, then at his father, and suddenly realized in his heart that this is a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers, which can only be understood but not expressed in words.The Cabinet Grand Scholars promoted by the father are his people. He is setting up a person for the Grand Scholars, and at the same time, he is also setting up a person for himself.
