Chapter 496: Out of the Palace
For Zhu Hao, the development of industry is of course very important.
But if it is about accumulating wealth and solving the urgent needs of the new emperor, is there a better and faster way to make money than developing the financial industry in Daming?
But Zhu Hao can't go into battle in person, the financial industry is a thing, if you can't get the money back, and there are policy risks, if Yang Tinghe and other diehard ministers learn that the emperor and who are going out to buy money, they can't approve the emperor to be decent?
This requires a "white glove" to charge ahead!
Looking at the people Zhu Hao knows, only Su Xigui, a money fan, is the most suitable to play the role of the co-sponsor of Qianzhuang Yinhao.
Of course, Zhu Hao had to discuss this matter with Zhu Si when he turned around.
On the evening of May 12.
Zhu Si finally walked out of Xi'an Gate from Xihua Gate accompanied by the guards, walked out of the palace for the first time after entering the palace, and saw Zhu Hao in a small mansion on the west side of the palace.
"Zhu Hao, I can be regarded as seeing you, you don't know how stuffy it is in this palace, it's so boring! When I feel it, it's like I'm dead and coming back to life, and that's a good feeling......"
Zhu Si has been a caged bird since he was born, but he has changed from a small cage in the palace to a large cage like the palace, and this time the cage is still permanent, probably Zhu Si also feels that becoming the emperor means permanently losing his freedom, so he will have such feelings.
Zhu Hao thought to himself, you really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings!
Who in the world doesn't want to be an emperor?
It seems that you are just guarding one acre and three points of land in the palace, but what you have at hand is the great tomorrow, the kind of absolute power that everything is in my hands, life and death are all in one thought, who doesn't crave it?
Zhu Si finally saw the person who could relax himself, and he was still there to wreath: "Today's opening of the scriptures, those attendants who read and preached, and talked to me for a long time, I found that listening to them is like listening to the book of heaven, it is really better to listen to what you said at the beginning, at least I can understand."
"Zhu Hao, you hurry up and take the Jinshi exam, so that you can go to the palace to give me a lecture, and the two of us can meet every day."
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, Yang Tinghe and others immediately resumed the lecture on the extension of the scriptures, in order to systematically educate the new emperor with the great righteousness of Confucianism, so that the new emperor can become a loyal believer in Confucianism.
But I don't know that the new emperor is very rebellious, the more he is asked to do, the more he doesn't like to do it, he doesn't like to listen, the final result is that this product was later addicted to the Taoist art of life and couldn't extricate himself, and even the imperial examination became an essay for the Qing Examination, so he asked the old Taoist scholars of Confucianism if they were angry?
As he was talking, Tang Yin came in accompanied by Luo An, Lu Song and others, and at the same time Zhu Chen, who commanded the envoy of the Xingjin Yiwei.
They just happened to hear the new emperor's last words to let Zhu Hao enter the palace early.
"Zhu Hao, I brought a lot of notes again, you said let me check the notes on river work and local disaster relief in the past two years, I asked people to find it for you, tonight the two of us will review the chapters together, it just so happens that I have a lot of things I don't understand, you explain them to me one by one."
Zhu Si had a sincere attitude, and he put on a posture of wanting to learn the art of governing the country from Zhu Hao.
Zhang Zuo, who came in at the end, listened to the words of the new emperor, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to express his opinions casually.
Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty can do everything himself, naturally it is good, the minister ......"
"Don't see me like this, what Your Majesty, ministers, just call me by my name...... Uh, no, you call me Zhu Si, that's what I used to call you, Mr. Tang, you're here too? Sit together, help me with the recitals, there are a lot of these things every day, many of them are messy, I don't know what to do...... By the way, is there anything delicious and fun? I want to watch a play, it's too stuffy in the palace, I really miss the last time I came to the capital, I was full every day and had nothing to do to go out to play, Zhu Hao, hurry up and arrange it! ”
……
……
Zhu Si has the potential to become a faint monarch, and if he is allowed to develop, he is likely to become Zhu Houzhao II.
Zhu Hao secretly pondered that an emperor like Zhu Si, who ascended the throne at a young age, was in power, and it was difficult for him to abide by the code of conduct of a Ming monarch and holy lord with a self-disciplined attitude.
But Zhu Hao will not limit Zhu Si's nature.
As long as Zhu Si is not frolicking, he comes out to watch a play, listen to a song, sit down to play chess and drink a cup of tea together, and pursue a little normal life, which is a good phenomenon.
Everything is about a degree.
This degree cannot be regulated by others, but Zhu Hao can still control it for the time being, so that he can also establish a friendship that transcends the relationship between monarchs and ministers.
That night, someone prepared a sumptuous dinner for Zhu Si, which was a hot pot that Tang Yin often ate.
Zhu Si praised while eating, and mentioned sad things during the period: "...... I was trembling when I ate something in the palace, for fear of being poisoned, so I let people taste it first, and it took half an hour before I dared to move fast, and the food was cold...... It's still comfortable to eat here, and it's delicious......"
Zhu Si had just become the emperor, knowing that he had no basic plate in the palace, and there were still people outside who coveted power that did not belong to him, which made Zhu Si feel a sense of self-danger.
"Eat slowly." Zhu Hao reminded.
Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao and Tang Yin are at the same table, and the next table is Zhu Chen and Zhang Zuo and others, Zhang Zuo glanced at the main table from time to time, very envious.
can eat at the same table with the emperor, and eat meals outside the palace, how deep a friendship can be so?
"Zhu Hao, when will the play start?" Zhu Si asked.
"Soon, I've asked Master Guan to prepare, but they don't know who to sing for today, don't show up for a while, just hide behind the curtain and watch the excitement." Zhu Hao reminded.
"Good, good! It's delicious! ”
Zhu Sixi was overjoyed.
……
……
Dinner is over.
When it was time to watch the meeting, Zhu Si sat behind the curtain, and on the stage were people from Su Xigui's opera troupe, among which Guan Dezhao's martial arts was the most eye-catching.
Zhu Si was fascinated, and suddenly returned to the time when he stayed in Beijing as the prince of Xingwang, that was the time when he missed the most and felt extremely comfortable, and he couldn't help but applaud when he saw the highlights.
Zhang Zuo came over and asked: "Your Majesty, the old slave will go to review the ...... first."
"You go first, oh yes, call Mr. Tang, and if you encounter those who are not too important, just go back to the past with a cabinet ticket. Zhu Hao, you accompany me to watch the play! ”
Zhu Si sent Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin to review the recital, and at the same time pulled Zhu Hao to accompany him to watch the play.
Zhu Hao said: "It's better to be a minister......"
"I said don't call yourself a minister, even if we want to go to approve the script, we are not in a hurry, and we will go together after watching the play! Oh yes, get me some ice cream or something, I'm tired and want to eat something for a while......"
Zhu Si didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, since he was out of the palace, he had to enjoy it all at once, and then go to work.
……
……
When Zhu Hao went downstairs to prepare the ice cream, Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin were whispering things there.
"Mr. Zhu, why did you come downstairs?"
When Zhang Zuo saw Zhu Hao, he hurriedly came over to salute and greet, then pointed upstairs and asked what the emperor was doing.
Zhu Hao smiled: "Come down and prepare something." Your Majesty is still watching the play, there is Lu Qianhu upstairs, it's okay. ”
Zhang Zuo said: "Oh, I haven't seen Your Majesty so happy for a long time, since I entered the palace, I am very depressed every day, this palace looks good, but it is actually the Longtan Tiger's Den, and I feel that it is in danger anytime and anywhere." His Majesty is lonely and lonely in the palace, isn't this discussing with Mr. Tang, whether to talk to ...... The princess who stayed in Anlu said, arrange a big wedding for Your Majesty earlier? ”
Zhu Hao didn't expect Zhang Zuo to care so much about Zhu Si's lifelong affairs.
Originally, Zhu Si was the emperor and was fourteen years old, so he could consider the issue of marriage.
But there is a problem, Lao Xing Wang Zhu Youqi passed away in June of the 14th year of Zhengde, in terms of the 27-month period of ordinary subjects, Zhu Si can not get married when his parents are mourning, but Zhu Si is the emperor after all, and the establishment of the queen is a major event of the country, and he can transcend the restrictions of residence and mourning, for example, Zhu Houzhao was in the first year of Zhengde when he got married, and he did not pass the period of observance.
This forms a strange circle of "can not be", no one is in a hurry to arrange it now, but Zhang Zuo, who cares about the emperor, thinks more long-term than others, and wants the new emperor to get married and settle down earlier.
Tang Yin reminded: "This matter should be greeted by the Ministry of Rites as soon as possible, why don't you let Yuan Ge get old and take care of it?" ”
"Huh."
Zhang Zuo heard Tang Yin mention Yuan Zonggao with a slight disdainful smile on his face.
As if to say, count on him? Did it work?
Zhu Hao said: "I have to ask the Queen Mother...... It is also necessary to take the Queen Mother to Beijing as soon as possible and live with His Majesty. ”
Zhang Zuo listened to Zhu Hao's words and immediately widened his eyes.
You kid is so direct.
Now that the ministers have said that the relationship between the new emperor and his mother is already the relationship between the "nephew emperor" and the "aunt", but you call the queen mother? But this is clearly what the emperor needs!
"Mr. Zhu, you can't talk nonsense, but ...... Hehe, Your Majesty actually hopes for the princess...... The queen mother entered the palace, I don't know if there is a way? ”
Zhang Zuo asked excitedly.
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Things have to come step by step, supporting my mother, which reflects His Majesty's filial piety, and this matter depends on how to fight for it." ”
"Yes, how do you fight for it?"
Zhang Zuo was very enthusiastic, and obviously made meritorious contributions to the matter of receiving Princess Jiang into the palace.
Zhu Hao said: "This requires someone to come forward to refute the great rites of the Ministry of Rites, and put forward a new rhetoric for the great rites, the most critical point of which is that the eldest son cannot succeed others, which is the most important one in the Confucian filial piety and etiquette law, and His Majesty is not like Emperor Han Ai and Song Renzong who were raised in the palace as the heirs of others, but only inherited the throne in the form of succession, why should he live in the name of others?" ”
Zhang Zuo was pleasantly surprised: "That...... Who's going to play it? Mr. Zhu, is that you? ”
Zhu Hao glanced at Tang Yin next to him.
Tang Yin turned his head sideways, with a look of avoidance, as if to say, don't fool me, you kid.
Zhang Zuo suddenly said: "Mr. Tang is a literati, his talent and reputation are all there, and Mr. Tang is oppressed by Confucian officials, so it is best to use Mr. Tang to propose a big gift." ”
Tang Yin hurriedly waved his hand: "How can you do it in Xia?" ”
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Mr. Tang can indeed come forward during the big ceremony, but Mr. Tang himself is a person from Xingwangfu, and it is okay to do a joint performance, if Mr. Tang is the leader, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince people." The best way is to use the oppressed and hopeless new science and technology scholars to be the ones who can play after this palace examination, so that they can convince the public. ”
"Good!"
Zhang Zuo nodded heavily.
Obviously, it is indeed inappropriate to let someone be the one who picks up the leader for such a major matter.
Of course, the court officials who have been going on for a long time will not be so mad that they joke about their careers, and the best way is to find a new branch jinshi, even Zhang Zuo thinks this is the best proposal.
