He said this not only to Xia Qing, but also to himself. He only helped this time, and Xia Qing would not want to threaten him because of this matter in the future.

Xia Qing smiled slightly when he heard this, but at the same time he sneered in his heart.

Didn't an upright person like Zhang Hai do something against his principles for his own selfish desires?

He has always believed that there is no one in this world who cannot be moved, either for fame, power, or for various unavoidable reasons.

For Zhang Hai to say only once, he didn't believe it. This time because of the eldest grandson's life, next time it will be for something else.

As for holding the handle in his hand this time and making Zhang Hai his person, it will not work. Because this matter involves Min Feng, it is not good for anyone to poke it out.

"That scholar should know what to do, and when it is presented to the emperor, the official will fulfill his promise."

Xia Qing planned to ask Zhang Hai to hand over the preface, and the font on the preface was regular script, and all the books of the Hanlin Academy must be in regular script.

The writing techniques of regular script are all similar, they are all square shapes, and the strokes are straight, so they are not easy to identify at all.

Since it is said that it was made by Min Feng, it is not suitable for him to present it to the emperor in person.

Zhang Hai had to do this in person, and after the emperor read this preface, he asked other officials to bring a few words in front of the emperor, and finally he personally said a few good words for Min Feng, he didn't believe that the emperor would save his face.

No matter how you say it, he is also the first assistant of the dignified family, and there are many officials who have taken refuge in him, so the emperor will naturally weigh it carefully. What's more, even if the emperor doesn't care about it, then Daoist Ji must be able to exert some strength, right?

Thinking of this, he was faintly annoyed in his heart. Such a six-grade petty official, why was he so troublesome before.

He handed a letter to the ministry, and the secretary still had to sell him this face, but who knew that the emperor had asked about it, which was really extraneous.

In the past two years, his authority has been restricted, the emperor's trust in him has diminished, and he has begun to be constrained in his work.

"Then please ask the capital to keep your word, and the lower officials will retire first!"

With a heavy heart, Zhang Hai returned to the Hanlin Academy. This time, for the sake of the eldest grandson, he violated the principle of being a man in peacetime. actually bowed his head in front of Xia Qing, which made him very annoyed. lost his prestige in front of the lower officials, and became a person who did not believe in his words.

Thinking like this, he felt a little depressed in his heart, packed up the preface of the ceremony, and prepared to rush to the imperial study to ask to see the emperor.

The little chamberlain guarding the imperial study watched from afar Lord Zhang of the Hanlin Academy, and one of them entered the imperial study.

As a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Hai often came to the imperial study to see the emperor because of many matters in the Hanlin Academy. The little chamberlain guarding the door was very familiar with him, and when he watched him come from afar, he went in and bowed first.

Zhang Hai hesitated in his heart as he walked, he never knew that the road from the Hanlin Academy to the imperial study was so close. He staggered on his feet, and his heart was hesitant.

"Lord Zhang! You're here, Your Majesty invites you in! ”

After waiting for a while, Zhang Hai walked to the vicinity of the imperial study. The little chamberlain hurriedly saluted him, feeling that today's Master Zhang looked a little strange, as if he was preoccupied, and walked very slowly.

I knew that he would go in slowly, and the emperor might be in a hurry at this time, and I don't know if the chief manager would blame him.

Not to mention how the little chamberlain regretted it, Zhang Hai saw that he had already arrived outside the imperial study, and he had to go in. I had to bite the bullet, grasp the booklet in my hand, ignore the warm greeting of the little chamberlain, and go straight into the imperial study.

"Minister Zhang Hai respectfully invites the emperor to Sheng'an!"

The emperor was reviewing a notebook, and his heart was very unhappy. During this period of time, because he personally reviewed the folds, the old ministers of the cabinet completely started to be the shopkeepers, and some trivial things were piled up in front of him.

There are few important things to see, but the matter of asking the prince to be established accounts for six or seven percent of the folds.

The cabinet officials didn't know what they were doing, and all he could see was all this mess?

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, this is forcing me! It can't go on like this, Xia Qing, as the head of the cabinet, has too much authority, and it has become a climate.

He must support one person as soon as possible to fight against Xia Qing. The emperor and the officials in the court have all gone through it in their hearts, and they didn't think that any of them could be used by him.

The relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated, and even the neutral ministers are full of in-laws, and they are tied up in their hands and feet when they get things done, and he is not very happy with his call.

Those old ministers are all old foxes, and it will take a lot of effort to get a handle on them. He didn't have so much time and energy, and his body was no better than when he was younger, and those Top Gun Guns had disappeared with age.

If you want to sit firmly in the country, you can't act on your will, you must learn the golden mean, weigh the pros and cons, and think twice before acting.

For example, the pile of recitals in front of him, no matter how disgusted he was, he had to read them. What if he is the Son of Heaven? There are still times when I can't help myself.

After thinking about it, he had to choose among the new officials, and so far, he still had expectations for Gu Chengyu.

The emperor has made up his mind, so let's do it! It's just a fledgling teenager, and if necessary, I can help out. When the momentum of the DPRK and China is balanced in the future, he can also sit back and relax.

I made up my mind in my heart, and when I heard Zhang Hai salute and greet him, the emperor called out.

"Scholar Zhang is coming over here, but the statute has already been drawn up for the ceremony?"

The emperor calculated the time, and the ceremony had been arranged for five days, and Zhang Hai came to ask for a meeting, and it was estimated that it was for this matter.

"Your Majesty, Weichen came because of the ceremony. This is the statute of the meeting drawn up by the Hanlin Academy, and the emperor is invited to take a look at it. ”

De'an, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to take it and respectfully handed it to the emperor.

As the emperor turned the pages one by one, Zhang Hai's expression also became nervous.

The emperor opened the preface, first a little surprised, then appreciative, and finally nodded with satisfaction after reading it.

"This is what you Hanlin Academy and the Six Ministries have drawn up? Yes, I don't think there should be anything to check and fill in, so let's compile it according to this! ”

Zhang Hai was originally staring at the emperor's face, and he could naturally see that the emperor was very satisfied. Next, the emperor will inevitably ask who came up with this, after all, this preface is completely different from the original Hanlin Academy.

"Obey the order!"

"Your preface is a good example, and all the books compiled by the Hanlin Academy in the future can be used in this form. It's easy to look at it at a glance, and it's easier to rummage around. ”

Thinking about it this way, the emperor was full of praise for the preface, and praised it a few times.

"Who came up with this? You old ministers can't think of such a way. ”

The emperor's mood at the moment is a little happy, these veteran officials of the Hanlin Academy will only do things step by step, how could they ever think of reform or innovation?
