After listening to Zhu Hao's analysis, Su Xigui's heart settled down a little.

"Yes, Huang Gong has done so many things for Daming in the past few years, and he has no bad deeds, even if he is liquidated, he must be justified, right?" Su Xigui muttered to himself.

Zhu Hao originally wanted to say, do you think that in the political struggle, reasonable and legal means can be used to suppress political opponents? Could it be that Huang Zan didn't have any dealings with Jiang Bin and Qian Ning before?

People will give you a crime casually, and after mastering public opinion, let the imperial historian criticize it, and the scholar said that you are a traitor, regardless of whether you have merit or not, there is no discussion about beating you to death with a stick.

But now Zhu Hao needs to stabilize Su Xigui, and he won't say anything more.

Zhu Hao said: "At such a time, Huang Gong should abide by his duties and let the opponent find no reason." ”

Su Xigui's face was resolute, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then carry it with him to the end...... Huang Gong has made great contributions to the country, how can he suffer an injustice because of this? At the beginning, it was Yang Ge Lao himself who recommended Huang Gong to the post of Nanjing Hubu Shangshu, and he had to go back on his word in just a few months? The contemptible man understands what to do. ”

As he spoke, Su Xigui got up and left.

Zhu Hao looked at the two young scholars in the courtyard and was a little puzzled.

Su Xigui found Zhu Hao's gaze and introduced: "This is the person sent by Huang Gong to help the contemptible people properly handle the affairs of the Beijing Division, and one of them is Huang Gonggong. ”

"Oh."

Zhu Hao remembered that Lu Wan wanted to marry Huang Zan before, and it seemed that he chose a son of Huang Zan who should be born to Huang Zan or a concubine.

Zhu Hao did not go over to see him, there was no need for this at this time, and Su Xigui did not plan to bring someone to introduce him to Zhu Hao.

Even if it is Huang Zhan's son, because of his low status in the family, compared to Huang Zhan's head horse Su Xigui, he can only make a move, and even Su Xigui feels that he only needs to contact Zhu Hao himself, and changing others will make Su Xigui feel that he is being left out.

……

……

In the early morning of the next day, there was no funeral in the imperial court.

Su Xigui brought news last night, saying that the emperor couldn't last that night, but at this time it was March 14, the day of Zhu Houzhao's death in history, and there was still no movement.

There are two possibilities, one is that he is dead and not mourning, and the other is that the emperor is still in the dying stage.

For Zhu Hao, it has a great impact.

If the emperor does not die, the palace examination on March 15 will be held as scheduled, that is, the next day.

Then he has to prepare to enter the palace to participate in the palace examination, and he doesn't want to participate in this palace examination at all...... Even if Zhu Houzhao dies when the palace test is held in the coming day, this palace test will be carried out as usual until the end, then he will become Zhu Houzhao's "protégé of the Son of Heaven", although the treatment is not much worse, but it will give people a feeling of eating dead flies.

You can only wait for the message.

In the teahouse, everything was as usual, and Zhu Hao continued to sit quietly by the window, enjoying the scenery on the street.

Su Xigui didn't come, Sun Ru couldn't sit still and left, and came back after a long time, bringing an old acquaintance of Zhu Hao, who would try Zhang Xuan, who was on the list.

"Zhu Gongzi."

Zhang Xuan came over and saluted Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao returned the salute and asked Zhang Xuan to sit down opposite.

Zhang Xuan said: "The palace test will be held tomorrow, is Zhu Gongzi ready?" ”

The purpose of Zhang Xuan's coming over was to inquire about Zhu Hao's preparations for the palace test, and then to thank Zhu Hao for helping to arrange the celebration.

A year later, this gratitude seems quite deliberate.

Because the civilian-official group led by Yang Tinghe deliberately proclaimed that it was no secret that the emperor was seriously ill among the people, Zhang Xuan, as a standard opportunist, naturally knew what the emperor's death meant to Xingwangfu...... Anyone who pays attention to the legal system of the Ming Dynasty should know that the heir to the throne is in the Xingwang Mansion, that is, the Xiaoxing King who once had a relationship with him.

Xiaoxingwang is now in Anlu, and Xinke Jinshi is not easy to contact, so come to meet Zhu Hao for a while, before Zhu Hao said frankly in front of him that he had a good relationship with Xiaoxingwang, the so-called seeing is believing, Zhang Xuan did not doubt it.

The two chatted for a while.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Now it is rumored that the lord of the leopard room is in good health, what do you think, Mr. Zhang?" ”

"Don't dare to be this old man, let's call me Bingyong...... This is in the following table, living in Beijing for a long time, and I don't know much about the affairs of the imperial court. ”

Like Zhu Hao's previous strategy when dealing with Yang Shen, he pretended to be a bear first, showing that he had no intention of politics.

Zhu Haoxin said, I can say that a young man only cares about studying, and doesn't ask about things outside the window at all, you are an old guy who is nearly half a hundred years old, who would believe it?

If you really don't want to do anything, why are you looking for me?

Zhu Hao sighed: "It's a pity that Your Majesty has no heirs, I'm just afraid that if something happens, Da Ming may make a big mess...... I heard that His Majesty has a lot of righteous sons, will they ...... What about taking the opportunity to disrupt the country? ”

Zhang Xuan was greatly inspired when he heard this, and took the opportunity to pick up the conversation: "There are many princes and nobles loyal to the Ming Dynasty, as well as Yang Zhongtang and other Confucian officials and celebrities, and they will not let the traitors succeed." There are many descendants of the Ming royal family, can't they choose a suitable crown prince? ”

At this point, the topic is pretty straightforward.

The emperor is not dead, and the question of the crown prince has already been mentioned.

Zhu Hao looked around, no one came up to drink tea, he first sent Sun Ru to sit in the corner, and then said to Zhang Xuan: "Then in Brother Zhang's opinion, who should inherit the unification?" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "The young master of Xingwangfu." ”

You still say that you have no intention of doing anything?

Isn't that all clear?

"Yes, but I'm afraid that after the Queen Mother and Yang Ge Lao discussed it, they think it's inappropriate? The heirs of Xingwangfu are thin, if it is after the unification, who should inherit the incense of Xingwangfu? ”

Zhu Hao was good at guiding and quickly brought the topic to the direction of "Great Gifts".

In history, Zhang Xuan took the initiative to jump out to discuss the big gift, and the key one is that Zhu Youqing, the king of Laoxing, only has one son, Zhu Si, and put forward the proposition that "the eldest son must not be the queen", that is, the king of Xiaoxing is the only son in the family, and the incense of himself is not broken when he passes on to others? Therefore, the succession to the throne is "brother to brother", not "clan succession to adopted son".

Zhang Xuan thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "It's a problem." ”

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I heard that there are many heirs in the Yiwang Mansion, and they were born early, and now most of them are adults, will they ...... From the Yiwang Mansion? ”

Yiwang Zhu Youbin is the sixth son of Zhu Jianshen of Ming Xianzong, and is the oldest of the living younger brothers of Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu and Xingwang Zhu Youqi.

Yiwang gave birth to a son earlier than Zhu Youqi, and gave birth to the eldest son in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, and gave birth to several sons later.

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "Then it will mess up the Ming legal system." ”

Zhu Hao nodded, it seems that Zhang Xuan is not only a speculator, but also a principle, knowing that according to the rules, it should and can only be Zhu Si to inherit the throne, and he must not let others succeed to the throne under the pretext that no one inherits his own incense.

"Who can say for sure? If something really happens, it still depends on His Majesty's edict and how the Queen Mother decides. Zhu Hao immediately mentioned the issue of the edict.

Although everyone now knows that the emperor is in a dying state, if there is an edict, it is estimated that it has been made public by now.

If there is no information, it means that there is no edict, so the decision is not made by the unconscious emperor, but by the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the Empress Dowager Zhang is a woman, and she still has to follow the advice of Wenchen?

Zhang Xuan said: "Does Zhu Gongzi have any news about this?" ”

Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head.

Zhang Xuan seemed to have expected Zhu Hao's answer, shook his head and sighed lightly: "If there is a traitor in the court, and the heir to the throne is not determined by the "Emperor Ming Zuxun", even if he is just a Confucian student, he will not sit idly by and ignore it. ”

Zhu Hao was stunned.

Before, Zhu Hao firmly believed that Zhang Xuan was a speculator, and felt that this person supported Zhu Si in history because Zhu Si was the emperor, but now it seems that Zhang Xuan is the kind of person who can be "martyred" in order to maintain the legal system.

If it's not Zhu Si succeeding to the throne, you're going to go to the Crying Temple?

Insightful, responsible, and courageous!

Zhu Hao nodded: "If this is the case, the scholar should not sit idly by, for fear of traitors in the court, if the first assistant Yang Ge Lao comes forward to decide, there should not be such a chaotic situation...... However, if Yang Ge suddenly changed his attitude and thought about what I said earlier...... I'm afraid it won't be easy to do then. ”

It's temptation again.

Now it is said that the first person in line to inherit the throne can only be Zhu Si, if it changes, it is most likely made by Jiang Bin and other traitors, and it is reasonable to go to the Crying Temple. However, if Si Yang Tinghe decides not to be succeeded by Zhu Si, will you still go to the Crying Temple?

Yang Tinghe represents the interests of the Son of Heaven, and he is working against Yang Tinghe, do you still want to be an official?

Zhang Xuan had a resolute attitude: "Whoever messes up the legal system is messing up the Ming Gangchang, and people with lofty ideals must not sit idly by!" ”

This is a statement.

No matter who changes the order of the successors, they are all taking the Ming Dynasty as a child's play, and I, Zhang Zhang, will fight against it to the end.

Looks reckless.

But Zhu Hao knew that Zhang Xuan was definitely not a brainless stunned young man, if he really had no brains, why did he come to say this to a person who was very close to King Xing?

Zhu Hao said in his heart, in fact, it is to let me know your mind in advance, and go back and tell the potential first heir to the throne about your attitude, and it is likely to be the emperor's Xiaoxing King in the future.

Say you're a speculator, but you really want to use me as a springboard?

I'm a one-meter, three-meter, and ten-meter platform jumping in turns, will I be used by you?

Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, you have a lot of eyes!

"It's rare that there is a capable person in the world who abides by etiquette like Brother Zhang, I will definitely mention these words to King Xing, but please don't tell others about the relationship between you and me, as well as my background, otherwise, ...... It's bad for me. ”

Zhu Hao said earnestly.

When Zhang Xuan heard this, this kid is very good.

I'll tell you to make a statement, and you immediately said that you want to tell King Xing, so wouldn't I have already made meritorious service in front of the new emperor before I became a jinshi?

"I understand below."

Zhang Xuan slapped his chest and said that he was by no means the kind of person who betrayed his friends and sought glory.

Zhu Hao is not afraid of his betrayal.

It's just that you betray others, but what's in it for you to betray me?

Do you still expect me to be a bridge to establish a good relationship with a potential emperor? Unless you want to squeeze me down and earn a show in front of the new emperor, but you have to ask if the new emperor will believe you.

The dispute over the Great Rites Debate depends on you to initiate it, and you will be the first bird to bear Yang Tinghe's anger.
