During the Zhengde period, there were four palace examinations, Zhengde selected five people in three years, 33 people in six years, Zhengde did not choose in nine years, and 34 people in Zhengde in 12 years.

In the sixteenth year of Zhengde, twenty-four people were elected.

Before noon on the same day, twenty-four new scholars from the undergraduate department, together with three people, a total of twenty-seven people, jointly played a joint performance, persuading the emperor to give up the idea of welcoming the princess of the palace to the capital.

It mentions that putting the country first is the real "righteousness".

To put it bluntly, it is to persuade the emperor to give up the mother-son relationship, and concentrate on being a good emperor in the court from now on, and your mother will be handed over to others to support, anyway, the Ministry of Rites is ready to choose a "younger brother" for you from the Yiwang Mansion to help you support your mother.

This discussion is tantamount to telling the emperor that the twenty-seven people who entered the Hanlin Academy this time from the protégé of the Son of Heaven all chose to stand in Yang Tinghe's camp...... Don't expect us to help you discuss the big gifts, be the emperor with peace of mind, and forget the old mother in your hometown, just like when your father was in the domain, he had to be separated from his mother.

Zhu Si was naturally furious when he saw this note, but fortunately, Zhu Hao had already given him a preventive shot, and he didn't say anything about exploding directly on the spot, or throwing out the cruel words mentioned when he threatened Wenchen in the past to pick a son to go back to Anluzhou to be the king of Xing.

At least when he went out of the palace in the evening to see Zhu Hao, his expression was quite normal.

“…… It's all been said by you, it seems that I can't be counted on anyone, the court Chinese iers control the way of speech, and they also hold the way to the promotion of the new branch jinshi, I am just an empty emperor...... Now the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the world of civil officials, and I am a puppet. ”

Zhu Si sighed and said to Zhu Hao, completely ignoring the emperor's demeanor.

Zhu Haoqi said: "Isn't everything under control? ”

Zhu Si raised his head and glanced at Zhu Hao, not wanting to say anything, but Zhang Zuo next to him hurriedly helped: "Mr. Zhu, is this still under control?" Now they are all about to rebel and leave...... Perhaps only if you jump out of that circle and stand up for Your Majesty, can Your Majesty see hope. ”

Tang Yin said: "If Zhu Hao reveals his identity, it is estimated that he will be kicked out of the Hanlin Academy in a short time, and it is not realistic to entrust the place as the champion, but the Nanjing Hanlin Academy is ...... Alas! ”

In the end, Tang Yin understands the current situation.

Since they all know that Yang Tinghe has mastered the promotion channel of the new science and technology jinshi, then let Zhu Hao jump out and fight against him, isn't this equivalent to sacrificing Zhu Hao, a useful chess piece, in vain?

Zhu Si shook his head: "Don't let Zhu Hao fight against Wenchen, now we don't have enough strength at hand, we can only endure it first, if Zhu Hao comes out, he will definitely be released, and then I will have one less powerful helper by my side...... That's a stupid trick. ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding." ”

After all, Zhu Hao offered to join the enemy camp as an undercover agent, so at this time, he could only try to appease Zhu Si's injured heart and keep him from thinking nonsense.

Zhang Zuo, Tang Yin, Lu Song and others looked at Zhu Hao with strange eyes, as if to say, can you still laugh at this time?

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because we made a timely move that Elder Yang Ge had to act first, so that now only the new science and technology scholars in the Hanlin Academy are co-authored, so that our next plan can still be ......."

Zhu Si asked, "Since I knew in advance that they would use the new branch jinshi, why can't I make a holy decree and not allow the new science and technology jinshi to make irresponsible remarks about the big gift?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhu."

Zhang Zuo asked Zhu Hao eagerly.

Obviously, this bad idea was made by Zhang Zuo, but it was not adopted by Zhu Si.

Tang Yin replied for Zhu Hao: "This will be true, saying that Your Majesty is blocking the way of speech, which is not good for Your Majesty's reputation." ”

"Really? Is this called blocking the way of speech? ”

Zhu Si obviously didn't think there was anything wrong.

Zhu Hao nodded: "In fact, if you put it on Yang Ge Lao's side, they will also say that this is Xin Ke Hanlin's own choice, after all, from beginning to end, Yang Ge Lao and the important ministers of the court did not come forward, it was all some people who privately connected in tandem to hint and co-opt, forcing us Xin Hanlin to have to submit, in fact, many people did not want to agree, but because of the situation, they had to do it." ”

Zhu Si listened to the look of being disgraced, and was hit again.

"But as I said before, now only the new Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy are in order, and for those Jinshi in the outside world, they still have the opportunity to choose to stand in His Majesty's position, and they will not be talked about by others, and the person we want to use to discuss the great ceremony is Zhang Xuan, who has not been affected in any way."

Zhu Hao comforted Zhu Si.

As long as Yang Tinghe didn't pull all the Jinshi into the water, it would still be feasible to find a new Jinshi to discuss the gift.

Just follow the original plan.

"When does that start?"

Zhu Si couldn't wait.

Zhu Hao said: "You still have to wait patiently...... Your Majesty, it has only been a month since you ascended the throne, why are you so anxious to solve the problem in a moment? Can't we even wait for the year-end change? ”

"I don't want to wait!"

Zhu Si lost his temper again.

Zhu Hao nodded: "That is the case, the minister will set a time, before the tenth day of the sixth month, let Zhang Xuan present the ceremony we agreed and drafted, although it is a little urgent, but there is a hurry, but I want to remind Your Majesty that this is just the beginning, and it will take at least a year and a half to completely solve the problem, or even two or three years, Your Majesty can be patient then." ”

Zhu Siyi gritted his teeth: "Okay, as long as you start early, at least you have a hope, and you won't be bullied everywhere like now!" It's so aggrieved! I'm going to watch three scenes today. Zhu Hao, I'll leave the matter of reviewing and reviewing the sparseness to you, I'm not in the mood to look at those things today, especially I don't want to see the cabinet's votes...... Hmph, they're all a bunch of bastards! ”

……

……

The emperor's way to relieve his depression was to watch a play.

was dissatisfied with the cabinet, so he didn't look at the cabinet's vote and handed over the power to Zhu Hao.

Zhang Zuo was very envious.

At least until now, he knows that his ability to handle state affairs is quite lacking, at most he listens to the advice of the cabinet and approves the red according to the cabinet vote, but it is better to change the cabinet's mind in the emperor's tone like Zhu Hao, which also makes the new emperor have a sense of pleasure in revenge against Wenchen.

Following.

On the first day of June.

Zhu Si glared at the two rows of sanctimonious ministers in front of him, the resentment in his heart made him feel as if he was being played with in the palm of his hand, and he couldn't wait to skin and cramp the group of people in front of him.

"Your Majesty......"

Yang Tinghe walked out after the lengthy recital of the Ministry of Industry, wanting to break the oppressive atmosphere among the monarchs and ministers, and incidentally put forward the matter of the new Hanlin recital asking the emperor to retract his fate.

Zhu Si stretched out his hand to interrupt Yang Tinghe's words: "Elder Yang Ge, do you want to remind me not to take my mother concubine to the capital?" I have read yesterday's recital, and one of them makes me very angry, the protégé of the Son of Heaven selected by me does not even understand basic filial piety, and thinks that I have violated the Confucian legal system by taking my mother to the capital...... Could it be that Elder Yang Ge also thinks that I have nothing to do with my biological mother? ”

Yang Tinghe didn't expect the question asked by the young emperor in front of him to be so sharp.

In this kind of situation where the ministers are forced to force each other, they can be regarded as fearless, and what they say sounds like angry words, but they are also well organized.

Yang Tinghe said: "The Ministry of Rites has its own public opinion, and the ministers dare not make arbitrary judgments. ”

After speaking, he took a step back, meaning to let Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, come out to pick up the stubble.

Mao Cheng had a headache, but he could only stand out and be stern: "Your Majesty, the second son of King Yi, is endowed with King Chongren, benevolent and filial piety, and should be his heir to Xingwangfu, and the incense of Baoxing Wangfu is endless." ”

Zhu Si sneered: "The king is older than me, so is he my elder brother or my younger brother?" ”

Mao Cheng said: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and you have no kinship with it......

"Then you are looking for him to be the emperor, my father is only my son, you don't look for more sons to be the emperor, but you are looking for me, haven't you thought about this problem? Why can't I personally raise the incense of Xingwangfu and ask someone else to do it for me? What is the truth of this? ”

Zhu Si took out the momentum of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, and reasoned with Mao Cheng.

At this time, Mao Cheng understood it.

Looking for those new science and technology scholars to persuade the king, it was useless, and it also annoyed the emperor, making the emperor feel that the ministers of the court and the central government were forming gangs, and even the new science and technology scholars were being coerced and used.

Mao Cheng felt that Yang Tinghe's move was a bit of an intensification of contradictions.

Mao Cheng didn't want to completely offend the emperor, so he could only choose to be silent.

"Okay, let's go here this morning, I was the concubine last night, I stayed up all night, and I was in no mood to deal with court affairs, so I will leave it to you...... I'm gone! ”

After Zhu Si finished speaking, he got up and left.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly said: "Retreat!" ”

Without waiting for the ministers to salute, Zhu Si left like a gust of wind.

……

……

In the court, it seems that Yang Tinghe has won a big victory again, but in fact, there is a big problem within his camp, unlike when everyone was resolute when they discussed the big ceremony before, now people are looking at Yang Tinghe with complicated eyes.

The problem is that Yang Ting not only failed to find a way to resolve the little emperor's resentment, but used some radical means to further intensify the contradictions between the two sides, as evidenced by the emperor's angry speech.

From the perspective of being a son of man, it is not an exaggeration for the emperor to propose to support his mother, which is simpler and more practical than canonizing Zhu Youqi as the emperor, which makes people unbearable to refuse.

And now everyone thinks that this little emperor is not only diligent, but also benevolent and filial, after all, everything is based on honoring his mother.

This is very much in line with the etiquette advocated by Confucianism, so that the literati can't help but feel good.

Once there was a suspicion, Yang Tinghe found that the people around him looked at him with a kind of alienation, even disdain, and suddenly felt that the team was not easy to lead.

"Alas! His Majesty said that he had no intention of doing anything last night, but none of the approved recitals were left behind, and most of them were not subject to the cabinet votes, and there was no refutation in the six sections. ”

After leaving the Fengtian Palace, several members of the cabinet went to the duty room.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

These words deliberately avoided Yuan Zonggao, because at this time Yuan Zonggao was talking to the people in the Ministry of Rites.

After Prince Liang became the master, Jiang Mian was Yang Ting's most iron-clad subordinate, and now even he felt a little sorry for the little emperor.

What else can Yang Tinghe say?

The pressure was all on him, and he couldn't breathe.

Recommend my friend's new book "Swallowing the River God, I Embarked on the Road of Cultivating Immortals", the writing is humorous, the protagonist is witty and funny, the baby Xianger is soft and cute, and the jokes are frequent.
