Zhu Xianxin's attitude is very strange, it has been two days since Su Tiancheng went home, and Zhu Xianxin has never expressed her position on Gu Hengbo's arrival, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

I haven't seen Su Tiancheng for a long time, Zhu Xianxin is naturally very affectionate, whenever Su Tiancheng mentions Gu Hengbo's matter, Zhu Xianxin prevaricates, always talking about children, saying that Su Tiancheng is going to name his son.

Su Tiancheng is extremely smart, of course he knows Zhu Xianxin's thoughts, and when this situation occurs, Zhu Xianxin must be unhappy, but it is not good to say it directly, so he simply does not express his position. But the situation can't continue like this, his attitude of marrying Gu Hengbo is resolute, it is impossible to push Gu Hengbo out, but it is not possible to marry forcibly, and he cannot handle the relationship within the family, which is also a sign of failure.

The name of his son, Su Tiancheng has already thought about it, Su Mingjie, according to the generation of the Su family, the following is the Mingzi faction, which must be followed, the meaning of Jie is prudent, stable and diligent, this is Su Tiancheng's requirement for his son.

The children of rich and noble families, either they are particularly excellent, or they are particularly gentle, which seems to have become a rule, in fact, there are certain inevitable factors in it, the conditions of the family are good, and a lot of money can be invested in the education of children, but if you don't pay attention to it, doting also exists, so that the child has formed a bad character, and it is much more difficult to correct it.

Su Mingjie is still young, and he can live in the capital for the time being, following his mother's side, but when he can start studying, Su Tiancheng has to find a way, almost all the mansions in Beijing are women, a boy, living in such an environment. It's not very good, and the boy's growth process is inseparable from the influence of his father.

The news of Su Tiancheng's return to the capital spread quickly.

There were a lot of people who came to visit, including Xu Eryi, Wu Weiye, Chen Yutai and others. After such a long time, there are still not many real supporters of Su Tiancheng in the imperial court, and the relationship between the former mentors Weng Tongzhang, Fu Youliang and others, because there are not many contacts, has weakened a lot.

Liu Zhongji and Deng Hui came to visit, and Su Tiancheng was very happy.

The temple examination is over. Both of them participated, and the results were still good, Liu Zhongji was the twenty-seventh in the second grade, and Deng Hui was the thirty-third in the second grade.

When Su Tiancheng talked to the two, he suggested that the two go to Henan Mansion. Directly serve as the magistrate, don't think about entering the Hanlin Academy. The two of them agreed.

In fact, when the officials arranged the Jinshi, their attitude has changed slightly, including some of the Jinshi themselves, and they are not completely thinking about entering the Hanlin Academy, which is mainly influenced by two aspects, on the one hand, it is Su Tiancheng's example. The palace test list is directly released, and now it is already the prefect of the fourth grade, look at the champion Chen Yutai, and explore Wu Weiye. Still in the Hanlin Academy, one is from the revision of the six products, the other is the editing of the seven products, and has not been able to make much achievements, on the other hand, it is the influence caused by the Zhongxing Society, the views recommended by the Zhongxing Society, the reader should care about the family and the country, to be practical, to take one step at a time, starting from the grassroots, if you have no grassroots experience, do not know the suffering of the people, do not have real governance experience, no experience in dominating one side, how can you be in the middle of the court, put forward practical opinions and suggestions.

The influence of these two aspects, or not ordinary, mainly is the middle school society, which has really formed an impact, in the south, the middle school society almost replaced the Donglin Academy and the Fushe, the leader of the Fushe Zhang Pu, took the initiative to join the Zhongxing Society, and Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Academy, gradually moved closer to the Zhongxing Society.

The emperor finally summoned Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng knew that the emperor would definitely see him, it was rare to have such an opportunity, after the last secret fold performance, the emperor gave him Shang Fang Sword, indicating that he had been moved by the content of his secret fold.

Su Tiancheng is also waiting for such an opportunity, in front of Zhu Youzhen, not only to talk about the affairs of the court, but also to talk about the affairs of his own family, since Zhu Xianxin is a relative of the emperor, Zhu Youzhen came forward to do work, it must be effective, so as to raise the status of Zhu Xianxin and Gu Hengbo, and also ensure the stability of the family.

When he came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Su Tiancheng saw Zhu Youzhen with a smile on his face.

Zhu Youzhen's spirit is much better, unlike before, always with a depressed atmosphere.

The procedure of kowtowing cannot be exempted, after all, he is the emperor.

"Su Aiqing, this time I returned to the capital, I can accompany my family well, I envy you, look at me, there are so many things all day long, it is very difficult to chat with the queen."

Zhu Youzhen took the initiative to mention the matter at home, and Su Tiancheng couldn't ask for it, so he climbed up the pole.

"The emperor cares about the ministers, and the ministers are grateful, but recently, there are some small things in the minister's family, and I want to implore the emperor to fulfill them."

Wang Chengen, who was behind Zhu Youzhen, couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Su Tiancheng, and thought to himself, this Su Tiancheng, it's really interesting, the emperor is just a pretext, if you want to answer, you should flatter, and then report the matter.

Zhu Youzhen was also caught off guard, and he didn't expect Su Tiancheng to say this.

Of course, he knew what was going on.

"Su Aiqing, there are already a lot of good wives around you, but I've seen them all."

"The emperor loves the ministers, so the ministers have also been favored by the girls, the affairs of the minister's family, the emperor is aware, I implore the emperor to be the master of the minister, the lady is a relative of the emperor, the dignity is incomparable, the minister does not dare to offend, if the lady is unhappy, the emperor moves out, the minister will not be able to live, this family and everything is prosperous."

"Ha Luha, Su Aiqing, you are really good at talking, according to your temper, how can Zhu Xianxin be, I see that you are decisive and very assertive, so if you speak, if I don't help, I can't say it."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen turned his head and spoke to Wang Chengen behind him.

"Father-in-law, remember to summon Zhu Xianxin and Gu Hengbo into the palace tomorrow, and I and the queen will meet them."

Su Tiancheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

"Su Aiqing, you mentioned the matter of Zhongxing Society, I still don't understand, can you tell me in detail."

"Your Majesty, the Zhongxing Society, in the south has formed a climate, has a significant impact, but in the north, has not really formed an influence, the concept advocated by the Zhongxing Society, the minister thinks it is very good, of course, there are many understandings of the minister."

Zhu Youzhen smiled and didn't interrupt Su Tiancheng, he didn't expect that Su Tiancheng would also take the initiative to show off.

"The minister once boldly analyzed the contradiction between the imperial power and the minister's power, some ministers in the court, gradually transformed into the bureaucratic landlord class, they through a variety of means, to protect their own vested interests, thus affecting the government, affecting the effectiveness of the holy decree, what they rely on, that is, the understanding of public opinion, Donglin Academy and Fushe, are all clamoring to protect the interests of scholars, gentry and wealthy households, and the minister is the most dissatisfied with this."

"For example, many ministers in the imperial court strongly supported the sea ban, opposed the levy of salt tax, opposed the levy of mining tax, and opposed the rise of imperial merchants.

"When the minister was in Jiangning County, he was on this side, and the city department levied taxes, which is the best explanation, the gentry and rich families do business to make money, and the ministers do not object, you do your business, abide by the law, and the ministers will also vigorously support, but you don't forget to pay taxes, if you think about favors on the one hand, and desperately protect your own interests on the other hand, the minister is not welcome."

"The core concept that Zhongxing Society adheres to is in this regard, and the most important thing to contribute to the country is the scholar class, that is, the gentleman and wealthy class, and the ministers think that the emperor will rely on them, but they need to contribute to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youzhen's eyes flashed with fine light.

He finally understood that the point that Su Tiancheng emphasized was to maintain imperial power and suppress the power of his subjects.

This point of view and understanding used to be relatively vague, after listening to Su Tiancheng's introduction, it gradually became clear, he never imagined that Su Tiancheng actually had such an understanding, subconsciously, Zhu Youzhen thought that letting Su Tiancheng and Zhu Xianxin get married was the most beautiful thing to do, and now Su Tiancheng is really thinking about the royal family.

"Su Aiqing said very well, I finally understand, then tell me, how to support the Zhongxing Society."

"The minister or two suggestions, one of them, the Zhongxing Society should set up a special institution in the north, the minister thinks, located in Henan Mansion, is the best choice, the reason why not choose to set up in the capital, is because the development of the Zhongxing Society, need a peaceful environment, with the gradual development and growth of the Zhongxing Society, and finally unify the understanding of the readers, it is natural to move to the capital, second, the talents recommended by the Zhongxing Society, the imperial court must be bold to use, these talents, are the Society has been carefully studied, They are all scholars who know the suffering of the people and are familiar with the affairs of the bottom, and they will bring a new wind to the prefecture and county, for example, they will bring a new wind, and the minister believes that in a few years, the atmosphere in the court will definitely change greatly. ”

When Su Tiancheng left the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wang Chengen personally sent it out.

"Master Su, your words have spoken to the emperor's heart, and our family really admires it."

"The father-in-law praised it, the lower official always remembers to take the father-in-law as an example, the father-in-law is by the emperor's side all the time, if the lower official has anything bad to do, I hope the father-in-law will remind him more."

Looking at Wang Chengen, who was smiling, Su Tiancheng was very pleased, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty must consolidate the imperial power and suppress the power of the ministers, the premise is that the emperor can listen to the suggestions and take the development of the Ming Dynasty as his own responsibility, Zhu Youzhen has indeed done it.
