Chapter 403: No Good People (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Zhu Hao is in Wuchang, waiting for the township trial list, just fulfilling his promise to Su Xigui to write dramas and scripts.
In the eyes of ordinary people, sending a script to the emperor or something is useless work, the emperor is rich all over the world, will this little thing be rare? Only Su Xigui, who is good at throwing favors from others, and has given gifts to the emperor and been recognized, knows the mystery of the script and other things......
Even if there is no shortage of treasures, women and some rare things, there is basically no shortage for the emperor, what they lack is the enjoyment of spiritual entertainment, and what Zhu Hao wrote can just fill the emptiness in the emperor's heart.
For several days, Zhu Hao closed his door to thank guests, and he didn't even bother to see Sun Ru when he came to visit.
After three days like this, Lu Song suddenly ran to tell him something in a hurry, forcing Zhu Hao to return to Anlu in advance.
ββ¦β¦ The imperial court issued an order that the palace people would be sent to Anlu to take the king of Xing to Beijing to wait for the seal, this matter was extremely tight, and the palace was out of order, and I didn't know how to deal with it. β
Lu Song knew very well what virtue the Xingwang Mansion was.
King Lao Xing had just died, and the factional struggle was intensifying, and at this time, the imperial court suddenly said that it was going to summon Zhu Si to Beijing, and all the officials in the palace, who would really think about Zhu Si's interests?
It is estimated that they all thought about how to gain power, and they didn't think about how to ensure that there would be no deviation after Zhu Si went north, or with their knowledge, they would feel that they couldn't fight with the court from the bottom of their hearts, so they simply let it go.
Zhu Hao said: "Who sent the news?" β
Lu Song did not shy away from it: "It was the order of Mr. Tang from the palace and sent a message." β
Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo, after hearing about this kind of thing, probably wouldn't think of asking Zhu Hao for help, only Tang Yin felt that Zhu Hao had something to do with this matter.
After all, Zhu Hao had before he met him, and if he wanted to keep King Xiaoxing away from the control of the palace chief Shi Si and the palace Chengfeng Division, he would think of writing to ask for advice.
Zhu Hao asked again: "Have you said that who the imperial court sent to Anlu to welcome the prince into Beijing?" β
Lu Song shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Zhu Hao knew why Tang Yin and Xing Wangfu were so nervous.
If the imperial court issued an order to let the Xing Wangfu escort Zhu Houxi to the Beijing Division on its own, then the palace could send whoever it wanted, but the problem is that now the imperial court specially sent someone to greet ...... This means that the initiative is completely in the hands of the imperial court, and now that the emperor himself is still on his way down to the south of the Yangtze River, will he care if his cousin is going to accept his edict in Beijing?
This is clearly the decree of the Queen Mother.
And Empress Dowager Zhang is very close to Yang Tinghe and others, which means that the high-level officials of the civil official group may also have such thoughts, which makes Xingwangfu very passive.
Zhu Hao was most worried that the imperial court sent Zhang Zhong, a eunuch who had come to Anlu to inspect Zhu Si's situation before, even if many years had passed, Zhang Zhong could still recognize Zhu Si compared to back then, right? However, it is expected that at this time, the emperor will tour the south, and Zhang Zhong, as the emperor's close attendant, will most likely accompany Zhengde at this time.
"Alas! It seems that there is no point in waiting for the results of the list here, so I can only return to Anlu earlier. Zhu Hao sighed.
Lu Song let out a long sigh of relief.
To put it mildly, Zhu Hao finally relented and agreed to go back, he himself was about to be depressed in Wuchang Mansion, this little ancestor didn't toss others, it seemed that he only tossed him Lu Song.
"When are you leaving?"
Lu Song did not procrastinate, and asked directly.
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Hire a boat now, hit the road tomorrow, and strive to return to Anlu as soon as possible." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Anlu, Xingwangfu.
In recent days, officials up and down the palace have been anxious, and they wanted to discuss how to deal with the imperial court, and find objective reasons to promote Zhu Si not to go to Beijing.
But after an internal meeting, Yuan Zonggao analyzed the current situation, and the final result was that he had to go......
said it very seriously, it seems that if Zhu Si does not go to Jingshi, he will not inherit the throne......
There is an important reason that Yuan Zonggao was sent by the imperial court to the palace to serve as the chief historian, no matter how much he is inclined to Xingwangfu in his heart, but now it is the imperial court that directly decrees, and he must play a role as a link as a "middleman", and he cannot take the lead in provoking the confrontation between Xingwangfu and the imperial court.
Yuan Zonggao spoke for the imperial court, and Zhang Zuo played the role of He Ximu in it.
At present, the open and secret struggle between the Changshi Division and the Chengfeng Division has become white-hot, and the Changshi Division has changed the situation that was suppressed by the Chengfeng Division before, and now gradually controls the situation in Xingwangfu and gets back the big account, but the expenses still have to pass Zhang Zuo's hands, but how to spend the money is no longer Zhang Zuo's turn to manage......
This brought about a result, both the Changshi Division and the Chengfeng Division wanted to let Zhu Si leave the Xingwang Mansion temporarily, so that they could further regain power.
As for Zhu Si being sent to Jingshi, it was originally the intention of the imperial court, and he couldn't refuse at all, and he didn't expect that the imperial court would not be a killer, so he simply let Zhu Si go to Beijing to stay?
Anyway, the court said that after Zhu Si inherited the throne, he would return to Anlu, so it didn't take long, right?
Someone who wants to fight for the son of the world?
Non-existent!
Now Zhu Si is just a prince who has not yet inherited the prince, even if he is the first heir to the throne in terms of status, but the problem is that the emperor is very young now, he is alive and kicking, and he has not said that there are any disasters or diseases, and his spirit is very good, who would have expected that the emperor would hang up in two years?
Besides, even if Zhu Houxi becomes the emperor, what will happen? When the time comes, all the chickens and dogs in the palace will ascend to heaven, can it be better to accompany Zhu Si than now?
followed to Jingshi, and the direct consequence was that the power on Anlu's side was handed over to political enemies, which would be of substantial help to Zhu Si to improve his status after he became emperor?
Only Zhu Hao knew how important it was to accompany a young man who was about to become emperor in a year and a half, and who was isolated and helpless during his stay in Beijing, this was a psychological bond, and the trust it brought was not comparable to the authority in the palace left by An Lujiao.
Tang Yin realized that there was a lot of danger behind this matter, otherwise Zhu Hao would not have said that he would go with him to Jingshi to secretly assist Zhu Si, his choice was to quickly notify Zhu Hao and let him come back as soon as the exam was over.
"Mr. Tang, our family has discussed with the princess, if it really doesn't work, we can't stop the prince from going to Beijing to inherit the throne, and I'm afraid that someone will need to accompany the prince at that time...... Otherwise, if the prince encounters something in Beijing at a young age, no one will take care of it, and the situation will be worrying! β
Zhang Zuo came to Tang Yin this day, and his words were serious, as if he wanted to entrust Tang Yin with an extremely important matter.
Tang Yin sighed: "I'm afraid that the prince will be imprisoned after he arrives in Beijing, and he may not be able to see outsiders." β
Obviously, Zhu Si was taken to Beijing by the imperial court, nominally waiting for the edict, but it is likely that he will be imprisoned in a big mansion, heavily guarded, and outsiders can see it if they want to?
Zhang Zuowei was puzzled: "This ...... This is also something that can't be helped, the court suddenly came to such a move, and no one was prepared in advance...... But I think that before the end of the year, after the prince officially succeeds to the throne, everything will be fine......"
Speaking of the back, Zhang Zuo stopped, obviously he was not very convinced.
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes: "Before the end of the year, will Your Majesty return to Beijing from Jiangnan?" β
He can be regarded as a one-word solution to the current predicament.
Zhu Si went to Beijing to be entitled?
The emperor needs to be received in person, right?
The problem is that the emperor is now in Jiangnan, and he is afraid that he will not miss Shu, and he will live in Jiangnan for a long time, and it is not known when he will return to the capital.
End?
Joke!
Can you influence the Emperor's decisions?
"This ...... This ......"
Zhang Zuo himself didn't have much strategy, and after listening to Tang Yin's simple analysis of two sentences, he felt that his IQ had been comprehensively suppressed, and he had been buried.
"Zhang Fengzheng, let me ask you next, if you have the opportunity to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince to Jingshi, will you go on the road together?" Tang Yin asked a question as if he were being tortured by his soul.
Zhang Zuo shook his head and smiled bitterly, without answering Tang Yin's question.
Obviously, Lao Tzu doesn't want to go!
That kind of hard work, whoever likes to go, isn't it precisely because Lao Tzu realized that the son of the world should be accompanied by "his own people", so he let you go?
Tang Yin suddenly felt Zhu Hao's previous worries, the group of people in the palace didn't seem to be sincerely thinking about Zhu Si, but he was a little confused in his heart......
Could it be that Zhu Hao is dedicated to Zhu Si?
If Zhu Hao is really like this, why did he add fuel to the scenes behind the scenes and promote Zhu Si to be a hostage in Beijing?
In this palace, is it only me Tang who is the only "good person"?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
When Zhu Hao and Lu Song went to see Lou Suzhen and told her that they were going to Anlu, Lou Suzhen's face turned pale, obviously a little "life has nothing to love".
Even if Wuchang Mansion can get not much news from Jiangxi, but now she also knows that her family has been taken down by the imperial court, even the Lou family, as for her husband, life and death are uncertain, it is estimated that he will be captured in Nanjing, waiting for the emperor's final verdict, and the crime of treason...... In any case, it is necessary to raid the family and exterminate the family.
As for whether the Lou family will be implicated and exterminated by the Nine Clans, it is difficult to say for the time being, but she has a strong sense of guilt for harming her family.
Letting her go to Anlu at this time will make her feel a sense of guilt for evading responsibility, which is almost unacceptable for a strong woman like her.
"Lu Dianzhan, can you go out first, I have two words to say to my wife?"
Zhu Hao said to Lu Song.
Lu Song nodded, probably thinking that Zhu Hao was a young man who had not grown up after all, and he was also a disciple of Tang Yin, so there should not be too much gap between him and Lou Suzhen.
He did as he was told.
After Lu Song left, Zhu Hao said: "Dare to ask the princess, what is your hope now?" Is it dead? β
Lou Suzhen said: "The matter has been completed, there is no way to change, and death is not impossible." β
Zhu Hao said: "Has the princess ever thought about how to save her family?" β
These two questions seem sharp, but to Lou Suzhen's ears, they are a little naΓ―ve and ridiculous, and they really seem to be said by a child.
Failed to rebel and was arrested, and still want to save his family?
Isn't that naΓ―ve?
So she didn't even think about how to answer Zhu Hao's question, and treated him indifferently.
Zhu Hao changed his tone and continued: "Madam, let's put it this way, if you are still in the hall today, your husband's family will definitely overturn, and your mother's family will not end well, but if it is...... What about the situation? β
"You...... What are you talking about? β
Lou Suzhen is extremely smart, and she immediately heard some clues.
Zhu Hao said: "I have studied carefully with Mr. Tang, and we agree that there is not much time left for Your Majesty today, maybe it is just a matter of the past few years, if your Majesty passes away without a prince...... So who should inherit the Ming Dynasty? Will things change then? β
