Tang Yin's refusal to be an official seems to be a normal thing in the Xingwang Mansion.

Zhu Youqi did not force it.

In the end, he just asked Tang Yin to come forward to receive Xinzhizhou for him, and bid farewell to Wang Shouren, the governor of southern Jiangnan...... Synthesizing all aspects of the news, that is, the events of the past few days.

Coming out of the study, Tang Yin asked directly: "Zhu Hao, before Wang Bo'an said that he would wait for the arrival of the local governor before leaving, do you know what the reason is?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "This is not simple? can't get the truth out of your mouth, and Kuang Zhizhou refuses to tell him directly, of course, he has to make up his mind from Xinzhizhou. After the handover was completed, the people of the state government would report to Xinzhizhou on the previous battlefield situation, and Governor Wang felt that there might be an opportunity to learn the secret of the new gunpowder...... I'm just guessing, I can't do it for sure. ”

Tang Yin nodded: "No wonder, in fact, the people in the state government don't know the details of the battle, it's okay, it's okay." ”

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "People who don't know the inside story outside don't think like this, and they still think that the government is in control of the overall situation...... I think that the people in the palace will not take the initiative to deliberately spread such news. ”

"Who are you talking about? Yuan Changshi? ”

Tang Yin smiled indifferently, "Even if Yuan Changshi has a prejudice against me, he will not betray the palace for his own interests, not to mention that he doesn't know how you make new gunpowder...... Zhu Hao, let me remind you, the owner of Su will come with Xinzhizhou, don't reveal the recipe to him for the sake of silver. ”

Zhu Hao glanced at Tang Yin, can you actually think of this layer?

How could I possibly sell the formula of the new gunpowder to Su Xigui for the sake of profit? But in a way...... Maybe it's possible.

Who made me have the experience of selling Su Xigui's secret recipe for drying salt before? But that involves people's livelihood, and this new gunpowder is an epoch-making military innovation, can I not tell the difference?

"Thanks for the reminder!"

Zhu Hao said casually, but did not accurately express whether he really intended to sell the formula of the new gunpowder.

Let Tang Yin guess for himself.

……

……

The last two of the government examinations were issued by the Confucianism Department, and it was not so important whether they were admitted or not.

Many candidates who have passed the government examination in the past can also apply to take the examination, which is equivalent to a centralized assessment of local scholars by the State Confucianism Administration.

And Zhu Hao still chose not to participate.

The test is just something outside the four books, and for him, there is no difficulty, and he has been busy recently and simply gave up.

The steam engine is still being worked on and is not going well...... In addition, he had to accompany Tang Yin to send Wang Shouren away, and prepare to receive Su Xigui...... The academic aspect can only be put down temporarily, after all, the college examination will not be held until the middle of the twelfth year of Zhengde.

As expected by the Xing Palace, the new governor Zhang Yezheng and Su Xigui and his party arrived at the Anlu border on March 22, Wang Shouren had already made a plan, and after seeing Zhang Yezheng, he left the next day, and Tang Yin accompanied him to greet Zhang Yezheng and his party at the city gate in the afternoon of the same day, not wanting to wait for an hour, only Su Xigui and the new Changshou Zhixian He Zhu waited.

With the position of Wang Shouren's governor, he went to welcome a magistrate, and his identity was obviously unequal, so He Zhu just bowed and said goodbye after the number of courtesies was sufficient, but Su Xigui was cheeky to stay and try to have a relationship with Wang Shouren.

Tang Yin introduced: "This Su Dongzhu is the younger brother of the Huang Fan Tai in this province, and he travels in various places in the south and north of the Yangtze River. ”

"Huang Fantai? Could it be that Hu Guangbu's political envoy Huang Zan and Huang Zongxian? Only then did Wang Shouren know that this businessman, who seemed to be ignorant of current affairs, actually had such a strong background.

Tang Yin nodded: "Exactly." ”

Huang Zan was very prestigious when he governed Jiangxi, mainly because he was at odds with King Ning's mansion and continued to impeach King Ning, and now Wang Shouren is an official in Jiangxi, responsible for the requisition and suppression of local robbers, if Huang Zan is a brother-in-law to help, it may have a certain effect.

"In addition, Huang Fantai will soon be transferred to Jingshi and serve as the head of the household." Tang Yin directly said this stubble.

Wang Shouren couldn't help frowning.

Can this kind of thing be known in advance?

Although Wang Shouren has been an official for 18 years, he is very resistant to those things in the officialdom that the party is the same and different, so he naturally does not care who will be the head of the household in the future, and he Wang Shouren himself has a strong background, he is an official eunuch family, and he has a wide network of people in the court, so he does not need to worry about this matter.

"If Wang Zhongcheng needs to use any contemptible places, just inform him, contemptible people have some connections in Jiangxi, involving money and grain scheduling...... It should be able to do a little bit. ”

Su Xigui knew that Wang Shouren had a good reputation, and now Wang Shouren wanted to level Jiangxi robbers, which would help him in business, so he naturally wanted to establish a good relationship.

Tang Yin asked: "Lord Su, didn't you say that the new Anlu Zhang Zhizhou came with you?" Why don't you see others? ”

Su Xigui said with a smile: "That's the case, this Zhang Zhizhou is a disciple of the local Sun Lao Shangshu, and when he arrives in Ren Anlu this time, he naturally has to visit the master first." ”

Wang Shouren looked very displeased when he heard this.

You are Zhang Yezheng, you have just taken office as the local governor, don't do anything else, first think about making friends with local magnates? The meaning of the seat master is not to pass on the teacher personally, but to be the examiner when participating in the imperial examination, mostly the result of putting gold on his face and forming a gang.

That Sun Lao Shangshu, Wang Shouren also knows very well, is An Lu Mingshi, the former household secretary Sun Jiao who returned to his hometown in the eighth year of Zhengde.

"Bo'an, what do you say? Do you want to keep waiting, or do you want to go back first? ”

Tang Yin looked at Wang Shouren with a smile.

Wang Shouren shook his head: "Don't wait, since Zhang Zhizhou has not arrived, I can only go back to the post house to prepare first, and then ask the Xingwang Mansion to send people to help escort the prisoners, and there will be soldiers and horses to meet the border of Jiangxi......"

After all, Wang Shouren was the governor of southern Gansu, and this time he went to Huguang with more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, but after hearing that the Anlu place successfully exterminated the bandits, he commanded the army to retreat overnight and returned to Jiujiang by boat, in order not to tell the truth, and then he himself brought a hundred guards to Anlu.

Now he has to escort nearly five hundred thieves captives at one time, and his manpower is obviously insufficient.

Before, he didn't want to trouble Xingwangfu, but wanted to help with the local health office and the inspection department, but now seeing that the new An Lu Zhizhou didn't take him seriously, he could only retreat and let Xingwangfu help.

"Then after I go back, I will ask King Xing."

Tang Yin readily promised to apply, but he didn't say that he would definitely pass, but Xingwangfu should not stand idly by in this kind of matter.

……

……

Wang Shouren went back to the post house first.

Tang Yin looked leisurely and leisurely, riding in the same carriage with Zhu Hao, but he did not plan to return to the palace immediately.

Xingwangfu had previously proposed to assist Wang Shouren in escorting the captives back to Jiangxi, but he refused, and now Wang Shouren was deflated by the state government, and Tang Yin had a feeling of relief.

Let you Wang Bo'an keep pretending in front of me, and now I know that you, the governor, are just a decoration, and you are not as good as a retired household secretary.

"Mr. Tang, you seem to be very happy. Did you see that Su Dongzhu was coming, and he was ready to get money from him? Zhu Hao asked.

Tang Yin didn't even look at Zhu Hao: "You kid, don't treat others with yourself, what is silver to me?" ”

Zhu Hao nodded.

This guy is also tough, he can only say this with a high salary in Xingwangfu, but I know how poor you have been in history, don't you want to pretend to be high here.

"It seems that before Wang Zhongcheng leaves tomorrow, he will explore from you again to see if he can find a flaw and let you tell me about the gunpowder." Zhu Hao said.

Tang Yin patted his chest: "Don't worry, I won't say it." ”

As he was talking, the carriage suddenly braked suddenly, Tang Yin couldn't sit unsteadily and planted his head on the wall of the carriage, and then he opened the curtain: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Hao's side is small, and he has been holding the air window with his hand, which is nothing.

Lu Song, who was driving in front of him, looked apologetic: "Sir, forgive me, a group of monks suddenly poured out in front of me for some reason, and it seems that they are heading in the direction of Bao'en Temple." ”

"Oh?"

Tang Yin looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, a group of monks came out of the crowd, if it was just a monk, it was nothing, but there were not a few Buddhist believers in these years, and the people along the street saw that there were monks coming, and they all came forward to bow and worship, many believers chased the monks and ran around, Lu Song could only stop with the reins of the horse to avoid these people.

Zhu Hao glanced at it and thought thoughtfully: "It's not an ordinary monk, but like a monk on the southwest plateau." ”

Tang Yin looked sideways at Zhu Hao: "Do you know this?" ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "I have seen their costumes in the book, it may be a monk from the Beijing Division, temporarily hanging in the temple in Benzhou to rest, how can ordinary people know this?" If there is a Buddha, worship it! ”

"Do you believe in Buddhism?"

Tang Yin was even more puzzled.

This kid is talking a lot, where did he hear it when he was young?

Zhu Hao shook his head calmly: "I don't believe anyone except myself." ”

"Haha."

Tang Yin couldn't help it.

The carriage continued to move forward, and he vaguely saw the figure of the Taoist priest, as if the two people were going north together, passing through Anlu, but at the moment of the arrival of the new Anlu Zhizhou, Zhu Hao felt a little interesting.

Lu Song inadvertently mentioned: "Yesterday I was drinking with Aunt Jiang, and I vaguely heard him say that this new governor has a great background in the DPRK. ”

Tang Yin shook his head: "I've never heard of his name before." ”

"It's like ......"

Lu Song recalled carefully, "It may be that he is very close to some people in power in the DPRK and China......"

The people in power in the DPRK and China in his mouth are naturally not civil officials, but ministers such as Jiang Bin and Qian Ning.

Tang Yin bowed slightly, pondering the joints.

Zhu Hao understood something.

The emperor didn't pay much attention to Anlu's affairs, but the Queen Mother, Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and others felt that Xingwangfu had been in the limelight recently, and the best way was to install cronies to come over and suppress the limelight of Xingwangfu.

Before his uncle Zhu Wanhong was transferred back to Anlu, he had this consideration.

Now let's have another Zhang Yezheng......

If Zhang Yezheng belongs to the Shechen faction, then it will explain why as soon as he came to Anlu, there were Taoist priests and monks who happened to pass here, because the current emperor Zhu Houzhao is very keen on Taoism and Buddhism, to put it bluntly, he is playful, and there are a bunch of monks and half-immortals around him.

Zhang Yezheng is likely to help Jiang Bin and Qian Ning by the way to receive these religious people who went north to Beijing to have fun for the emperor.

Zhu Hao and Tang Yin couldn't help but glance at each other.

Thinking of parachuting in a local magistrate sent to An Lu by Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and other traitors specifically to deal with Xingwangfu, the person who gave advice to Xingwangfu naturally felt a headache.
