Forbidden city.

At the end of the early dynasty, Zhu Si alone summoned Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, to the Qianqing Palace, leaving only Zhang Zuo next to him.

Zhu Si's face was full of seriousness, as if he wanted to discuss something important with Yang Tinghe.

Zhu Si looked at Yang Tinghe and said expectantly: "Elder Yang Ge, I used to be in the palace, there were several gentlemen who taught me knowledge, and they were very knowledgeable, and one of them was outstanding in learning, and he was greatly appreciated by the previous kings and entrusted with important tasks. This time, I brought him to the capital with me, and now I want to appoint him to an official position, but I don't know what position he should take? ”

Yang Tinghe listened to it and "chuckled" in his heart.

The person in the emperor's mouth can't be Tang Yin, right?

I just found out that there was such a person as Tang Yin next to the little emperor, and in a blink of an eye, the little emperor took the initiative to give Tang Yin an official?

Yang Tinghe pretended not to know, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, there have always been rules for the selection of officials, I don't know what kind of fame this person has?" What qualifications have you accumulated in the past? ”

Zhu Sidao: "His name is Tang Yin, the word Bohu, he has no experience as an official, but he has served as a guest in the Ningwang Mansion and the Xingwang Mansion, he pretended to be crazy and left Nanchang to Anlu to avoid trouble, and he has been staying in the palace, teaching me knowledge, and at the same time doing things for the palace, and has made many contributions." ”

Sure enough, it was him!

Yang Tinghe found that he was very passive, as if his every move was restricted by others, and every step was expected by others.

"I usually call him Mr. Tang, who is from a leading background, but because of a past incident during the Hongzhi period, he has no chance to be admitted to the Jinshi...... But I know that he is highly knowledgeable, and it shouldn't be difficult for him to mix up official vacancies in the court with his ability, right? ”

Zhu Si was enthusiastic about seeking officials for Tang Yin.

Yang Tinghe shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, this person has never had experience as an official, if he rashly inserts him in the court, I am afraid that he will ...... Criticism. ”

Zhu Sidao: "I also know that this is not good, but I don't want to appoint official positions to everyone in the palace, can't I just appoint Mr. Tang to a position?"

"I guess that's too much to ask, isn't it? Even if Mr. Tang has no experience as an official and has no official qualities in the palace, he is really hard worked, and he did not accept the reward from the imperial court because he wanted to avoid trouble......

"As far as I know, Mr. Tang not only led his troops to quell the rebellion, but also participated in disaster relief, and informed the Xingwang Mansion in advance of the news that King Ning was going to rebel, and this news was also passed on to Wang Shouren, the governor of southern Gansu, so that King Ning's rebellion was quickly quelled...... Mr. Tang has made great contributions to the imperial court! ”

"No!"

Yang Tinghe's attitude was extremely resolute.

Originally, he didn't want to sell the face of the little emperor, this was breaking the rules, although since the beginning of Chenghua, there has been an endless stream of ministers in the court, but in Yang Tinghe's eyes, the emperor skipped the selection of officials and directly appointed official positions is a disaster for the dynasty.

You are the emperor I elected, and I have the responsibility to teach you, not to mention that Tang Yin is likely to be a powerful assistant who helps you in the shadows, and he is my political enemy, why should I fulfill you?

Zhu Si continued to persuade bitterly: "It is true that Mr. Tang has no official qualities in the palace, but everything he does is the responsibility of the chief of the palace, Zhang Changshi and Yuan Changshi have been in the palace because of the system and the place they have served, and they are not in the palace, and he has always been in charge of the affairs of the palace. ”

The more Yang Tinghe listened, the more he felt that his suspicions were right, and this Tang Yin was likely to be the "master" behind the little emperor.

Yang Tinghe was very angry, his hands were trembling, he couldn't understand why the most relied on by the little emperor's side was not Yuan Zonggao or the late Zhang Jingming, but the little-known Tang Yin?

Isn't that a prodigal? In Nanchang, the fashion is crazy and stupid, and in the winter, he jumps naked and jumps into the lake, this kind of person enters the court...... What else is the imperial court?

Yang Tinghe first denied Tang Yin in his heart, and naturally tried to persuade himself to disagree with him for various reasons.

Yang Tinghe's attitude was resolute: "Back to Your Majesty, the appointment and dismissal of officials in the DPRK and China has its own set of rules, and the selection of officials needs to be reported by the local political envoys, and the assessment of the Ministry of Officials, if it is directly appointed, then the order of the court will not exist...... The appointment and dismissal of officials in the DPRK and China without going through the ministry for personal purposes is a sign of chaos in the country, and the ministers are resolutely opposed! ”

Zhu Si said coldly: "Okay, I know that Yang Ge is always a loyal minister, and everything is for the sake of Da Ming." Then I will say it bluntly, now I want to use Mr. Tang to check the accounts of the river workers, involving the household department and the Ministry of Industry, if he is just a cloth cloth, how can I help me to check? ”

Sure enough, it was him!

Yang Tinghe was sad and indignant in his heart, it had been almost two months since the emperor arrived in Beijing, and he didn't know that there was such a person by the little emperor's side, which was really a mistake.

"If I want to directly appoint Mr. Tang as the head of the household department or the Ministry of Works, it must not be, because it must be an official from a jinshi to hold the position...... I don't want anything else, just take him as the ambassador of the household department Guangjiku, the official position of Zhengjiupin, now there should be no problem, right? ”

What Zhu Si said can be said to be reasonable and well-founded.

I asked Tang Yin to help me investigate the case, so I assigned him an errand in the household department, and this is an official vacancy of the Ninth Grade, which happens to be a position that can be taken on by a person, and there is no Jinshi himself who will accept this kind of Positive Ninth Rank position.

Yang Tinghe said: "The Guangji warehouse is a place to store sulfur, saltpeter and other things, and it is difficult to control it unless it is familiar to people, if there is a deviation, it will ......."

"Yang Ge doesn't have to worry about this."

Zhu Si said with a smile, "Yang Ge Lao may not know that there were Jiangxi robbers in Anlu back then, and at the behest of King Ning, he went to the land of Huguang to plunder, and Mr. Tang broke thousands of thieves with less than 300 men, and gunpowder was used...... He knows this very well. ”

Yang Tinghe had a headache when he heard this.

It seems that what my son told him yesterday is the truth.

What Tang Yin did in Anlu was quite sensational, probably because the court was controlled by traitors such as Qian Ning and Jiang Bin at that time, so that no one explored this kind of thing in detail.

Now that the emperor has come out of the Xingwang Mansion, the matter has been highlighted.

Zhu Sidao: "The officials of the Ministry of Officials, give a candidate for the position of ambassador of the Guangji Treasury, and assist me in clearing the accounts of the river workers, it won't be in the eyes of Yang Ge Lao to break the rules of the court, right?" I just want to make the best use of people's talents, but I don't mean to be partial to them. ”

Yang Tinghe was choked back by Zhu Si.

An ambassador of Guangjiku, and it is not an idle errand, not to mention the hard work, there is no oil and water, and the position in the minds of the people is even inferior to the teachings of a county, and the teachings are always the responsibility of the nobles.

Yang Tinghe said: "If Your Majesty really intends to transfer him to the household department, why don't you convene the courtiers to discuss this matter?" ”

"I don't want to publicize it."

Zhu Si answered every time he answered very simply, completely without thinking, reflecting his clear thinking, "I let the river workers investigate thoroughly, but they are secretly investigating, if the matter is brought to the court and said publicly, everyone will know, which is not conducive to checking the accounts, and will bring a lot of trouble." I summoned Elder Yang Ge to come to discuss, and asked Elder Yang Ge to give me face, so that Mr. Tang could be used by me. Thank you, Mr. Yangge! ”

……

……

Yang Tinghe was very angry, but in the end he acquiesced to the feasibility of this matter, and indicated that he would communicate with the people in the ministry.

That morning, he had no intention of returning to Wenyuan Pavilion to work, but went out of the palace directly, and came to a private house in Goldfish Hutong outside Dong'anmen, which was a temporary place for Yang Tinghe to take a lunch break and morning court, and occasionally discussed with his friends here, he came to the study and immediately sent someone to find Yang Shen.

“…… Why did my father call for it? ”

Yang Shen was a little inexplicable, it stands to reason that nothing big happened in the court, and it was impossible for his father to come to this place to talk casually.

Yang Tinghe immediately asked: "Do you have anything to do with Tang Yin today, and ask Zhu Hao for verification?" ”

Yang Shen nodded: "Yes." ”

"When?"

Yang Tinghe continued to ask questions.

As soon as he finished speaking, he told Tang Yin about the situation in the palace, and it didn't take long for his father to ......send someone to find him" Yang Shen still didn't understand why his father was so angry.

Yang Tinghe frowned, thought about it and then asked, "Then has he ever been out of Hanyuan, or has he seen anyone?" Let people go out and spread the word? ”

Yang Shen heard the problem and hurriedly asked, "Father, but someone leaked the news?" ”

Yang Tinghe threw the teacup in his hand on the ground when he heard this, and with a "snap", the teacup was shattered: "After today's court meeting, His Majesty summoned him separately and mentioned that he wanted to give Tang Yin an official, but he didn't mention it early or late, because my father just learned that this person was in Xingwangfu, why did His Majesty take the initiative to ask for an official for him so coincidentally?" ”

Yang Shen hurriedly said: "Father is angry, after the child mentioned it to Zhu Hao, he has been repairing the room, and he has not seen him talk to anyone, and even the time is not right, he ...... It's impossible to get word out there. Will...... Is it really a coincidence? ”

Yang Tinghe didn't answer, and his angry expression was clearly saying, where are there so many coincidences in the world?

"Father, Tang Yin is just a person, His Majesty wants to give him an official, but it is not in accordance with the law, and my father refuses." Yang Shen offered another suggestion.

Yang Tinghe sneered: "Your Majesty said that you want Tang Yin to check the accounts of the river workers, and also mentioned that it is just to appoint him as the ambassador of the Guangji Treasury, and even more so that my father mentioned that the Guangji Treasury is a place where gunpowder manufacturing materials are stored, and it should be guarded by people who know how to do it, and Your Majesty can actually answer that he used firearms to destroy the thief army when he was in Anlu." It is clear that someone taught His Majesty to say so, and even this errand is estimated to have been calculated by Tang Yin himself, and the purpose is to become a court. ”

"This ......"

Yang Shen didn't know what to say.

He finally understood why Yang Tinghe was so angry.

Feelings Yang Tinghe was deflated at the little emperor's place before, and all the reasons he could think of were reasonably scolded back by the little emperor, as if someone had arranged it in advance.

Yang Tinghe can be said to be above 10,000 people in the court, when did he receive this kind of wretchedness?

Yang Tinghe said: "Then have you informed others about this matter in advance?" So that Your Majesty has been prepared? ”

Yang Shen thought about it, as if he had thought of something, he wanted to speak and stopped, and the scene froze there.

"With Xiu, in the past, my father thought that you were cautious and far-sighted, but recently...... Since the new emperor ascended the throne, you have more fox friends around you, not only did not help you, but it is always a bad thing, shouldn't you review it? ”

Yang Tinghe believed that his son had informed others of the matter in advance, which caused the emperor to be prepared.

Yang Shen looked humbly taught, and bowed down: "Father's lesson is that if there is such a thing in the future, no matter how trustworthy the people around him are, my son will not tell him in advance." ”

"It's good to understand!"

Yang Tinghe was annoyed.

But I finally knew that it was Yang Shen's side that had a problem, and it wasn't Tang Yin or the little emperor's clever calculation, so I finally felt a little more comfortable.

After teaching his son a lesson, he went back to the palace to continue to deal with court affairs.
