Chapter 492: A Leopard in the Tube
When Zhang Zuo saw Tang Yin and Zhu Hao with a large box, Zhu Hao was arranging for people to hang plaques in the house.
"Sixianju? What do you mean? ”
Zhang Zuo looked up and asked curiously.
Tang Yin said: "It's all made famous by Zhu Hao, saying that there will be more virtuous people here in the future, who knows what he wants to do...... Zhang Gong kilometers please. ”
Zhang Zuo was welcomed to the inner courtyard hall, but he saw that the furnishings were very different from before, there were six or seven long tables, like a book, and there were chairs behind each table, along with the four treasures of the study and eucalyptus, etc., Luo An explained: "Mr. Zhu said that this is called a desk. ”
Tang Yin said angrily: "The desk is the desk, you have to engage in those bells and whistles...... That's fine. ”
Because of Lou Suzhen's matter, Tang Yin is a little rebellious, and he has been fighting with Zhu Hao recently.
Zhang Zuo first told the new emperor that Zhu Hao asked Zhu Hao to take the test for the school tribute, and said in public that the room was full of "his own people", and Zhang Zuo was not afraid of things leaking out.
As soon as these words came out, Luo An and Lu Song didn't have anything to do, after all, this matter had nothing to do with them.
Tang Yin's face changed greatly, and he was speechless, "Tsk, the exam-taker has self-examined, since ancient Confucianism, you Zhu Hao is the first!" It's a surprise! ”
Zhu Hao said: "Sir, this is mocking me...... Why don't you go and talk to Your Majesty and let him take back his fate? ”
Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Don't laugh at the two of you, Mr. Zhu has such ability and is trustworthy...... Mr. Tang, yes and no? ”
Tang Yin sighed helplessly and shook his head, probably feeling the unfairness of fate, why didn't he have this treatment back then? And Zhu Hao can be invincible and prosperous in the imperial examination?
"He has this ability, he doesn't dare to think about it, and he doesn't dare to compare ......"
Tang Yin was about to give up on himself.
When Zhang Zuo opened the box sent by Zhu Si again, Tang Yin was even more dumbfounded, the emperor actually asked Zhu Hao to approve the red? And in the handwriting of the emperor?
Wouldn't Zhu Hao become...... A figure with more power than the prime minister?
Zhu Hao took out one or two copies of the notes and looked at them, not all of them were important government affairs, but each of them had a cabinet vote attached to it.
Zhu Hao said: "Father-in-law Zhang, how can he dare to take over the work of His Majesty and the celebrant supervisor?" It's better not to come to me for such things. ”
Zhang Zuo's face was full of helplessness, and he pleaded: "Recently, Your Majesty has been diligent in government affairs, and only sleeps for two or three hours a day, but these recitals are still piled up like a small mountain, and they have not diminished, and not every recital is true...... It's also that our family doesn't have the ability to help Your Majesty share the pressure, most of the time it's a vote for something, so you can only copy it, Your Majesty feels that Daming is about to be manipulated by the cabinet......"
In one sentence, he said the reason why Zhu Sihui would send Song Shu out of the palace to Zhu Hao and Zhu Pi.
Whether it is Zhang Zuo or Zhu Si, who wants to make a big difference, their level of ability to handle government affairs is too average, they have never had the ability to take care of one party, let alone play this big game of chess in the whole day, they can really understand all the words on the performance, but they can't give a better opinion than the cabinet.
made a little painless revision, but still copied the cabinet vote, which made Zhu Si gradually feel a sense of powerlessness.
And Zhang Zuo is even more so.
Zhang Zuo himself doesn't read much, and even Tang Yin is quite inferior in terms of ability, so he will be the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the seal of the seal, what achievements can he make?
Zhang Zuolian struggled to distinguish between the important and the less important of these notes.
In the end, Zhu Si made a decision that seemed extremely absurd, but in his eyes it was very correct......
Let Zhu Hao come to Zhu Pi and use the emperor's handwriting.
In this way, you won't be subject to the cabinet everywhere, right?
Tang Yin originally wanted to entertain two sentences, but after listening to Zhang Zuo's complaints, he immediately understood that from the emperor to the eunuch in charge of the seal, it was not easy to be a eunuch, and the newcomer could indeed control a certain initiative in personnel appointment and removal through Zhu Hao's guidance, but because of the limited level of government affairs and the constraints of the palace wall, Zhu Hao and Tang Yin themselves could not enter the palace to help with the details, and they were subject to others everywhere.
"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Tang, please bear with me for the two of you, and then what is the trick of Zhu Pishi...... Please also tell us, our family is grateful......"
Zhang Zuo means, teach me more, so that I don't have to trouble you.
Tang Yin squinted slightly, and his expression was a little narrow.
The emperor handed over such a big power to Zhu Hao, and let us give us advice? It's best that you can't learn it in your life, and you will count on Zhu Hao to do it in the future.
……
……
After nightfall, Zhang Zuo, Tang Yin and others went to drink, leaving Zhu Hao alone to review and review.
It is also Zhang Zuo who feels ashamed, saying that he is here to learn from Zhu Hao, but it also depends on whether Zhu Hao is willing to teach, and then it is not something that can be learned overnight, it involves too much knowledge, if you can learn all Zhu Hao's skills, it is equivalent to reshaping your life.
said that he was studying, but his body was very sincere, Tang Yin called for drinking, Zhang Zuo's heart was itching, and he immediately agreed to it, and Jiang Lun and Lu Song and others went to drink together.
On the second watch, Tang Yin returned to the office.
Zhu Hao glanced up at him: "What about Gongren Zhang?" ”
"He didn't drink much, but his body couldn't hold it, so he said that he would go and rest for a while, and when you finished reading and sorting out the slips, he would take them back to the palace before dawn."
Tang Yin looked at the almost empty box and asked, "How's it going?" ”
Zhu Hao said: "Oh, it's almost over." ”
Tang Yin's eyes widened: "So fast? ”
I picked up the overlapping notes on the table, and found that as Zhu Hao said, they had all been reviewed, and I thought that Zhu Hao would directly copy the cabinet vote like Zhang Zuo, but when I picked it up and looked at it carefully, I found that none of the notes with specific content were the same as the votes, and many opinions were maverick.
"You...... I'm afraid it's not going to work, when it comes to such a big matter as the expenditure of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, if you don't listen to the cabinet, you have to add opinions, and if you send it, you're not afraid of causing trouble? ”
Tang Yin read a few copies, although he didn't know the trick very well, but he felt that Zhu Hao's opinion on the cabinet had changed too much, which might cause backlash.
Zhu Hao smiled: "Can't you see that in fact, the cabinet is in the lake, Your Majesty?" ”
"Lake alley?"
Tang Yin was a little puzzled.
"It's called bullying, and the cost doesn't match the reality in many ways...... You see here, at the beginning of the spring of this year, the emperor proposed to allocate the expenses for repairing the leopard house and the elephant house, a total of 210,000 taels, in late March, when Yang Ge was in charge of the country, the emperor's edict was used to return this batch of silver, the original expenditure was 60,000 taels, which is equivalent to saying that the return of 150,000 taels can be, and the household department really gave a record of 150,000 taels......
When Zhu Hao said this, Tang Yin frowned and said, "Is there a problem with my arithmetic?" Not 150,000, 140,000? ”
Zhu Hao said: "I said Mr. Tang, governing the country is not a simple arithmetic problem, the most important thing is the purchase of stone and wood for the elephant house and the leopard house, the original 60,000 taels are mainly used for procurement, even if it is spent in the early stage, the wood and stone will not all be gone, right?"
"If you look at this again, the Ministry of Industry obviously mentioned in mid-February that the amount of stone used to procure stone from Huguang and Jiangxi was 26,000 taels, but this batch of goods was directly transferred to Xiuhe at the end of March...... The timber and stone of the emotional palace were piled up directly on the embankment?
"Look at it again...... In the recital of the political envoy of Zuobu in Henan, it was mentioned that the timber and stone collected by the local authorities had been transported north through the canal, and the household department had an official letter of acceptance......"
Zhu Hao talked to Tang Yin in detail, and Tang Yin probably understood, in fact, the 60,000 taels were obviously hung on the big warehouse account of the household department through different channels, but they were not truthfully reported.
Tang Yin said: "That means that 60,000 taels of stone and wood were purchased?" But it seems to ...... There is no difference in terms of usage. It's okay to report 150,000 taels, but you can't resell the stone and wood, right? ”
Zhu Hao shook his head and said: "But in the report on the construction of the Taimiao Temple and the Temple of Heaven, it is necessary to re-purchase stones and wood, but the household department wants to transfer the silver that was confiscated from the traitor Jiang Bin and others to the inner mansion on the grounds that the expenses of Taicang are too large, which is equivalent to diverting the personal expenses in the hands of the new emperor to the court expenses, is this not a bully?" ”
Tang Yin patted his thigh: "I understand, in fact, there are ready-made timber and stones in the Hubu warehouse, and they don't use them, but they propose to transfer the silver from the inner house, which is equivalent to making His Majesty have no silver to use, so as to reduce the expenditure of the palace!" ”
Zhu Hao sighed: "Sir, you finally understand, if you don't check the accounts carefully, it is difficult to know that there are still a large number of materials left in the household department and the Ministry of Industry, whether this batch of wood and stone are in the same place, so the opinion I give is that in the name of His Majesty, I will issue an order to ask the household department, where is the stone and wood used to repair the elephant house and the leopard house before!" Let the household department give a reasonable explanation, and if the household department says that there is no more, then strictly investigate...... Find out who is out of it, and if it is still there, then Your Majesty can directly propose to use these materials for the renovation of the Taimiao Temple and the Temple of Heaven......"
Tang Yin said with a smile: "If you come up and don't talk about it, you just ask that there is a problem and let the household department investigate, which will make the cabinet feel that Your Majesty is aware of everything, and will not feel that Your Majesty is too radical." ”
"Don't compliment me, Mr. Tang, this is just an introduction, just the issue of the imperial court's expenses, involving the river workers and last year's Jiangxi disaster relief, many of them are lake accounts, and we can see only one of the sides, if I look at some more notes, maybe I can sort out the context of all things in the DPRK and China......"
Zhu Hao had some regrets.
Zhu Si sent him a note, after all, there was only one box, and he could only see a small part of the whole picture.
Tang Yin said: "Then when I send Zhang's father-in-law, I will mention a ...... to him."
Zhu Hao shook his head: "Aren't you afraid that Grandpa Zhang has an opinion?" He should have done all this work, but now he asked me to do it for him, he didn't say it, he was afraid that he would mind very much, right? ”
"What's the opinion? It's all for the new emperor, for the Ming Dynasty, he still praised you a lot when he drank today, saying that if it weren't for you, it would be difficult to say whether His Majesty would be able to take over the throne smoothly, and said that it was all because of your urging, Your Majesty is now full of energy, and he plans to be a Ming monarch and holy lord......"
Tang Yin said this, his eyes were full of appreciation for Zhu Hao: "Work hard, I am optimistic about you, you can teach me more in the future, and I can also share a little for you." ”
