On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the court meeting.

Prince Liang was officially appointed as a minister, becoming the first cabinet scholar to be replaced after the new emperor ascended the throne.

In the court, Zhu Si officially proposed the candidate for the minister to join the cabinet, and also knew that if he wanted to select people from the existing Hanlin system to join the cabinet, he would basically become Yang Ting and his henchmen, so Zhu Si told Zhu Hao that he had secretly sent someone to recruit Fei Hong before.

Fei Hong used to be a cabinet scholar, although he has been idle for a long time, but because of his reputation, the conflict with King Ning also fully shows that he is upright and not a flatterer.

Yang Tinghe did not object in the court, but it was clear that he had a plan for the next step.

The court meeting ended.

Liang Chu finally packed up his belongings and prepared to return to his hometown.

For Prince Liang, he has experienced too many bad things during the Zhengde period, and now he can finally go back to live in his old age, and the officialdom of the capital has nothing to be nostalgic for him, especially in the cabinet for many years, except for Yang Tinghe, who temporarily acted as the first assistant when he was in charge, he basically obeyed people's orders.

In the future, Liang Chu wants to be the first assistant...... Unless Yang Tinghe retreats.

Judging from the current situation, Yang Ting and the power are leaning towards the government and the opposition, and most of the Chinese ministers in the DPRK are his henchmen, and it is really not easy to retreat.

Liang Chu accepted his fate and decided not to worry about the court affairs anymore, and was ready to go home for a few days to celebrate his birthday.

……

This day's court meeting was a day of "great victory" for Zhu Si.

drove Liang Chu away, knocked on the mountain and intimidated Yang Tinghe, and by the way, let Fei Hong, who was recommended by him, enter the cabinet, and Zhu Si already looked forward to the scene where he was in power.

When Zhang Zuo was ordered to come out to find Zhu Hao to inform him of the news of the court, he was also very excited: "...... Your Majesty has used more breakfast after the morning this morning, and he is in a good mood. ”

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I'm afraid that Yang Ge Lao's counterattack is about to arrive." ”

Zhang Zuo asked puzzledly, "Counterattack?" Where does this begin? ”

Tang Yin, Lu Song and Luo An, who were present, also looked at Zhu Hao.

This small government office is equivalent to the Zhongshu Province of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Hao is equivalent to the Zhongshu Order, Lu Song and Luo An do not have a high actual right to speak, but Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin's right to speak is not low.

Zhu Hao said: "Naturally, it is a matter of discussing big gifts...... It is estimated that in the next two days, the Ministry of Rites will report the agreed issue of the big ceremony, and most of them will have to take the former king as the 'imperial uncle Kaoxing the king' and the princess as the 'imperial uncle's mother to rejuvenate the country'. I'm afraid this is not the result that His Majesty is willing to accept, right? ”

Zhang Zuo was shocked: "This ...... How good is that? ”

As a person close to the new emperor, Zhang Zuo naturally knew how much Zhu Si cared about his parents' titles.

If it is really as Zhu Hao said, Yang Tinghe and Mao Cheng and others used the title of Zhu Youqi and his wife to block the new emperor's mouth, and it is estimated that Zhu Si's stomach will be angry.

Tang Yin was worried, obviously he also knew that the issue of the gift was not something that ordinary people could interfere with, and whoever had the right to speak in public opinion would be qualified to decide.

And now although Zhu Si is the emperor, public opinion is firmly in the hands of the civil officials headed by Yang Tinghe, the civil officials say that this is a great gift, who doubts that it is a challenge to authority, and who dares to disobey the literati?

Zhu Hao said: "But let Your Majesty rest assured, even so, there is no need to be discouraged, I will find a way to find someone to play, reconsider the ceremony, and form a trend in the court that is opposed to Yang Ge Lao and Mao Shangshu, causing scholars to discuss, leaving room for things to turn around." ”

"That's all up to Mr. Zhu......"

Zhang Zuo himself could not resist the powerful public opinion force of the civil official group, so he could only pin his hopes on Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao nodded: "When Gonggong Zhang saw Yuan Shilang these two days, did he have the attitude of telling him about His Majesty?" I don't know what Yuan Shilang has to say about the big gift? ”

"This ...... Yuan Shilang didn't mention ......"

Zhang Zuo did not evade.

Yuan Zonggao was not interested in any big etiquette at all, he was very confused after he arrived in Beijing, and wanted to stand on the side of the new emperor to support it, but the problem was that Yuan Zonggao himself was also a Confucian official, and he had to submit to Yang Ting and the high official authority and strong right to speak.

Unless Yuan Zonggao wants to discredit himself among the literati.

Zhu Hao said: "This shows that Yuan Shilang's speech in the court is not enough now, and it may take a while for Fei Lao of Jiangxi to go to Beijing, and the cabinet needs to have its own voice during this time, and it is a good choice to use Yuan Shilang's qualifications as a cabinet minister." ”

Although Zhang Zuo had a problem with Yuan Zonggao before, now that he is the head of the internal officials, he will not block Yuan Zonggao's career for the sake of the personal grievances accumulated in the Xingwang Mansion.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly said: "Then please ask Mr. Zhu to mention how this matter should progress......

……

……

Send Zhang Zuo away.

Zhu Hao took Tang Yin to see Lou Suzhen.

The two sat in the carriage and talked about Zhu Hao's recommendation of Yuan Zonggao to enter the cabinet.

Tang Yin said: "Do you think it's so easy to let Yuan Lao enter the cabinet?" I'm afraid that Elder Yang Ge won't agree......"

Zhu Hao smiled: "I think it's good to let you enter the cabinet, sir." ”

"Stop talking nonsense, I am a person, what qualifications do I have to talk about entering the cabinet? You can't talk nonsense......"

Don't look at Tang Yin's mouth, but he especially emphasized that he was a lifter, which showed that he cared about this matter very much in his heart.

Tang Yin always feels sorry for himself, Yuan Zonggao can directly enter the court as a waiter because he has the status of a jinshi, and because I am only a person, it is difficult to even arrange an official position.

Comparisons are odious.

"What if Yuan Shilang enters the cabinet? Don't you want to listen to Yang Ge Lao? Now among the civil officials, Yang Ge Lao can be said to control everything, as long as he doesn't want it, either he doesn't end well, or he has no heart......"

Zhu Hao leisurely analyzed.

Tang Yin frowned: "So you're a pit Yuan, right?" After he enters the cabinet, everything must be subject to the old opinion of Yang Ge, so won't he be alienated by the new emperor? ”

Zhu Hao said: "How could Mr. think so? I helped him enter the cabinet, but I harmed him? Doesn't Your Majesty need someone to show your eyes in the cabinet? Among so many people in Xingwangfu, except for the late Zhang Changshi, who has the reputation of Yuan Shilang to take on this important responsibility? Rely on me? ”

Tang Yin said disdainfully: "If you are admitted to the Jinshi, it is also a good choice to let His Majesty arrange for you to enter the cabinet." ”

Zhu Hao shrugged: "Do you really regard the court as your own back garden?" Whoever you want to enter the cabinet can enter? Even if I am admitted to the Jinshi, I may not be able to enter the Hanlin Academy, if Yang Ge Lao knows my relationship with the new emperor, he will definitely transfer me to the ends of the earth to serve, even if I have the opportunity to hide my identity and enter the Hanlin Academy, I don't know how many years I will have to mix in the bureaucratic system that pays attention to style and seniority? ”

Tang Yin didn't answer.

"Okay, let's raise our spirits and see Concubine Ning...... Speaking of which, Mr. hasn't seen her for a long time, and after arriving in Beijing this time, he didn't take the initiative at all, didn't Mr. have any ideas? ”

Zhu Hao's face was narrow.

If you don't have anything to do with Tang Yin to trouble me, I'll use Lou Suzhen to entertain you.

Tang Yin continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Do you want to tell Zhu Hao about his relationship history?

Tang Yin asked himself if he wanted to make an old face, and even felt that when he saw Lou Suzhen for a while, he should send Zhu Hao out, so as not to let Zhu Hao listen to things that he shouldn't hear.

……

……

Lou Suzhen knew that Tang Yin had returned to Beijing and came to see him today, so he specially asked people to prepare wine and food.

At the wine table, Zhu Hao and Tang Yin sat opposite the table, and Lou Suzhen got up to pour wine for the two.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Trouble madam, recently Mr. is helping the people who rebelled against the eucalyptus last year, this is not Lu Shangshu's side has been changed from death to the border, as for the anti-eucalyptus to minimize the involvement, the Lou family should be preserved." ”

Tang Yin glared at Zhu Hao, as if to say, when did I help the people involved in King Ning's rebellion? You're really good at talking.

When Lou Suzhen heard this, she was more moved, Lou Suzhen's eyes were full of tears, and she gave Tang Yin a big salute and said, "Thank you, concubine, for running." ”

"Don't dare...... Princess...... Madame is exempt, but not under the ...... But ......"

Tang Yin didn't know what to say.

Could it be that telling Lou Suzhen that she didn't do anything, it's all Zhu Hao's nonsense? Lou Suzhen's beautiful appearance, even if she is there at the age of the year, still makes Tang Yin extremely excited, this is a graceful woman with a charm that makes men dream.

At the wine table, Tang Yin didn't dare to drink more, he knew that he would definitely look prodigal if he drank too much, so it was better to maintain a little demeanor in front of the goddess, and the wine was basically a shallow taste.

Zhu Hao didn't drink on the grounds that he was about to take the palace exam.

At the wine table, Lou Suzhen asked about Tang Yin's situation after he arrived in Beijing, and learned that Tang Yin was now helping the new emperor with things, mainly involving prison affairs, Lou Suzhen said earnestly: "Please Mr. help find out the whereabouts of the clansmen, the concubine can't help her family through the difficulties, so I can only ask Mr." ”

Tang Yin was stunned again, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Hao said: "Madame's relaxation, now even the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who commands the envoys, is obedient to Mr. and helps inquire about the situation of the people involved in Jiangxi, which is easy." Isn't it sir? ”

Tang Yin glared at Zhu Hao, and then reluctantly nodded at his difficulty.

Lou Suzhen saw some clues, Tang Yin's face was embarrassed, as if there were a lot of unspeakable secrets.

"Mr. ......"

Zhu Hao was about to say something, Tang Yin suddenly grabbed the white: "Actually, if Madam has something, you can also ask Zhu Hao, now His Majesty is obedient to him, and even the recent candidates for the court are proposed by Zhu Hao, and his ability is greater than that of Zaixia." ”

Zhu Hao was stunned.

I thought, you old boy, I'm helping you, but you're tearing me down?

Lou Suzhen immediately turned her gaze to Zhu Hao, in addition to surprise, there was also a little horror in her eyes, obviously this news shocked her greatly.

Zhu Hao, who usually looks easy-going with him, is now a big man beside the emperor who turns his hands into clouds and hands for rain? Even Tang Yin admits that Zhu Hao's ability is monstrous, so how unpredictable are Zhu Hao's current methods?

"I'm just a tribute, and I haven't even passed the Jinshi exam, sir, you're really joking, come and drink with us...... I replace wine with tea! ”

Tian was talked to death by Tang Yin, and Zhu Hao could only change the topic.

Being able to sit down and drink with Lou Suzhen seemed to be a great honor for Tang Yin, and he didn't ask for too much, and immediately raised his wine glass when he heard this, his face was full of satisfaction.

……

……

Full of wine and food, Zhu Hao took Tang Yin away.

After going out, Zhu Hao protested dissatisfiedly: "Sir, what do you mean?" Do you want to fly with her? ”

Tang Yin said: "I'm just speaking according to the truth, but you kid, gossiping." Madame is so noble, how can I allow this old bone of mine to tarnish her reputation? That's it! ”
