Chapter 558: Alone

Not everyone wants to follow Zhu Hao to "soar", Xiaobai and Xiaoyuan, as aunts and nieces, have very different choices.

Xiaobai is twenty years old and has not married yet, so he has no choice but to follow Zhu Niang to the capital to see if he can make a future for himself.

As for Xiaoyuan, she is still young and has never thought of being a maid for the rest of her life, plus the severance pay given by Zhu Niang is not low, she feels that she can marry herself early if she stays in Anlu.

Of course, she also has a way back at home, if she can't get married in the next two years, she will be sent to the capital to continue to be a maid...... It's a bit of a trick.

Anyway, Zhu Hao didn't have any thoughts about Xiaobai and Xiaoyuan, and he didn't have much time with his second daughter, so naturally he couldn't talk about any feelings.

Since Xiaobai followed the old lady to the capital, Zhu Hao couldn't stand by and watch, so he could only ask Zhu Niang to help Xiaobai find a partner, and it was better for her to marry a good family than to be an old girl.

In the evening, Zhu Hao stayed to have dinner with his family.

Rice grains, fresh meat, vegetables and vegetables have long been prepared, even if Zhu Niang and Aunt Li are new to life, they are not familiar with life and everything is not used to it, they are still busy cooking a "reunion dinner" for Zhu Hao, and even Zhu Ting joined in, and the three women are very busy.

"Mother, in fact, we can find a cook to make these ......

Zhu Hao understands the strong family affection of several women in the family for him, but he is worried about going back at night to review the recitals, and he wants to go back to work overtime after a simple meal.

The Hanlin Academy can ask for leave, but the things that Zhu Si explained must be completed, because Zhu Si has been bombarded by civil officials in turn recently, and Zhu Si in the court can't deal with it, so Zhu Hao needs to prepare for him in advance.

Zhu Niang said, "You haven't eaten the food I made for many years, so you have to taste it no matter what."

Zhu Hao heard this, a little bit of life and death.

But it may be because I haven't seen each other for a long time, and when I meet again, the situation is very different from the past, Zhu Hao is already the champion, and he has become an official in the court, and of course he wants his children to remember the most simple appearance of his family.

Zhu Hao wanted to go up and help, but Zhu Niang kicked him out of the kitchen on the grounds of "gentleman cooking".

……

……

It was just dark.

Lu Song had already hurriedly come over to find someone and urged Zhu Hao to go back to do errands.

Zhu Hao said: "Lu Qianhu, my family just came from Anlu, so it won't be a day off without a day, right?"

Lu Song said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty has left the palace, I have asked you many times on the way, and I have explained it to Your Majesty...... But today, His Majesty was angry with the civil officials in the court and wanted to discuss countermeasures with Mr. Zhu. There is still a lot of backlog, but the cabinet deliberately withheld some important notes before, and now it is suddenly taken out...... It's clear that you want to embarrass Your Majesty."

Zhu Hao sighed: "Yang Ge is really going to give people problems, doesn't he know what the cabinet does? Can this kind of transgression be made? When he's the emperor, can he still keep the music in the middle?"

Lu Song said helplessly, "That's why Your Majesty is in a hurry."

"That...... Let's wait."

Zhu Hao said, "I've had dinner with my family, and I'll rush there as soon as I'm done here."

Lu Song's eyes widened.

The emperor is urging you, but you have to take care of your family first?

Isn't you, a courtier, too faceless to give the emperor?

"You go and tell Your Majesty that even if it's busy all night tonight, I'll take care of things...... Looking at this appearance, I'm afraid I won't be able to rush over until the second watch, if Your Majesty really can't wait, let him go back to the palace first, or do something else." Zhu Hao said.

Lu Song saw Zhu Hao like this, and thought of his state of mind when he first arrived in Beijing, and he understood.

"That...... That's it for now."

……

……

After Lu Song left, Zhu Hao waited for a long time before he had dinner with his family.

「…… Xiao Hao, it was Lu Dian's battle before, right? Why didn't you invite him in and sit down?" Zhu Niang probably knew that keeping her son to eat seemed to delay her business.

Zhu Hao smiled: "It's okay, he just came to pass the word, saying that His Majesty told me to hurry over."

"You...... Can you see Your Majesty?"

Zhu Niang's face was full of incredulous expressions.

Zhu Hao said: "Not only can I see it, but I see it almost every day, Your Majesty will hand over many affairs of the court to me to deal with, I need to help him summarize it, and he can deal with those ministers with ease in the morning of the next day."

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Young Master Hao, even if you become an official, you can't talk nonsense, this is ...... Why doesn't it sound so convincing?"

Zhu Hao shrugged: "I grew up with Your Majesty, who can he listen to if he doesn't listen to me when he encounters things?"

Zhu Niang was also very curious, and asked, "Isn't there Yuan Changshi, Zhang Fengzheng, and Mr. Tang?"

Zhu Hao sighed: "Although Yuan Changshi is now a cabinet minister, it is difficult for him to directly help His Majesty because he is suppressed by Yang Ge Lao in the cabinet...... Oh yes, Mr. Tang is now the head of the household department of Zheng Liupin.

"Your Majesty has no one around you, and I am excluded and troubled by the old ministers of the court, but I can hide in the shadows, observe the overall situation, and see the moves, so Your Majesty attaches great importance to my opinions, and basically everything will be obeyed."

Zhu Niang and Aunt Li were stunned when they heard this.

Zhu Hao warned, "Mother, aunt, don't talk about this matter to the outside world."

Zhu Niang hurriedly nodded: "Mother knows how to measure."

Zhu Ting asked, "Brother, are you going to see the emperor at night?"

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Yes, but we all call Your Majesty, the emperor's title...... Basically no one uses it. Today, His Majesty has been angry with the civil officials in the court, mostly because the matter of welcoming the Queen Mother into the palace was greatly beyond the control of the civil officials, and the civil officials now intend to give His Majesty problems."

"Oh."

Zhu Niang seems to understand whether she understands or not.

Aunt Li looked at Zhu Niang, then at Zhu Hao, and sighed, "In this case, it is better to let Young Master Hao finish eating earlier and go to deal with official business."

Zhu Niang said: "By the way, Hao'er, after we arrived in Tongzhou, we heard that the court was electing His Majesty, and we also asked the girl of Ji Lu to report to the local government, can there be such a thing?"

Zhu Hao glanced at Zhu Ting with a blank expression: "This matter has nothing to do with us...... I am the champion of the current department, even if someone from the yamen comes to the door to forcibly register, I will ignore it, and if I am in a hurry, I can just blast the person out. This time I chose the queen, or the concubine, and I will encounter a lot of bad things when I enter the palace, and we don't need to use this method to raise the lintel, don't let Xiaoting get involved."

Aunt Li and Zhu Niang didn't say anything.

But Zhu Hao can feel that Aunt Li has the heart to let Zhu Ting go, but the problem is that Zhu Ting is a concubine after all, and to a certain extent, she is "from a bad background", and sometimes even if she wants to choose, it is very difficult.

……

……

When Zhu Hao saw Zhu Si in the evening, Zhu Si was already yawning.

"Zhu Hao, are your mother and family okay?"

After Zhu Si saw Zhu Hao, he didn't have any complaints, but looked concerned.

Zhu Hao arched his hand and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, they are all fine, today is because they just arrived in the capital and had a reunion dinner together."

Zhu Si nodded: "I understand, when the queen mother arrived in Beijing, I was also very happy, and I can't wait to stay with the queen mother every day...... The fourth and fifth sisters have also been in the palace for the past two days, and when I saw them, I felt refreshed and had no worries left."

Children talk very casually, especially between good friends.

Zhu Si has been influenced by Zhu Hao's thoughts since he was a child, and under Zhu Hao's ears, his thoughts are relatively open-minded.

In general, it is to be able to generate some empathy, to be able to understand the suffering of others, and even to carefully figure out the situation of the enemy, to understand why the other person is doing this, and what is the rationality of doing it.

But there are still some paranoid things in Zhu Si's temperament, which cannot be changed by the day after tomorrow.

"Zhu Hao, recently for the military quartermaster in the northwest, Elder Yang Ge has given me a problem several times, and he also told his father...... The money for the first emperor to repair the temple must not go to the account of the household department, and it is mentioned that I must go to the queen mother every day to ask for peace...... They are talking about the Queen Mother to embody filial piety...... But that's not my biological mother, the queen mother is in the palace, why should I go to worship others?"

Zhu Si was very annoyed.

Now Yang Tinghe and other ministers are changing the law to give him problems.

Zhu Hao said: "If you want to do great things, you must know how to forbear and sacrifice, and it is not impossible to show others something. You don't have to go every day, it's good for you to go once in a while."

Zhu Si shook his head: "I don't want to go."

This is where Zhu Hao is worried.

Zhu Si is too stubborn, in some recognized things, even Zhu Hao, a close friend, is difficult to persuade, especially when it comes to big gifts, Zhu Si's stubbornness and persistence are not simply to fight with Yang Ting, but he really thinks it should be so.

If Zhu Si is embarrassed in such matters, maybe he will really pick and choose, instead of just talking about it.

Zhu Hao should try his best to prevent this from happening.

Zhang Zuo walked over at this time and said, "Mr. Zhu, the music and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all ready, Mr. Tang has picked out some of the more important ones, you see......

Zhu Sidao: "Zhu Hao, I went with you to review the chapters, I want to use diligence as an excuse to make the ministers feel that I am very busy and have no time to do anything else. In the future, there will be fewer people leaving the palace, and there will be something important that will be handed over to you, maybe before the end of the year...... I'm going to have a headache."

Zhu Hao nodded.

The end of the year involves the collection of taxes after the autumn harvest, which is the busiest period for the imperial court.

Yang Tinghe, on the other hand, took the opportunity to give the new emperor a problem, more because of the money and grain dispatch in the northwest, and there was not much that Sun Jiao could help the new emperor after returning to the court...... Zhu Hao saw that Sun Jiao was only famous, and in dealing with household affairs, because he did not have much power in his hands, he was held hostage by Yang Tinghe too much, so that Sun Jiao's efficiency could not be improved at all.

Zhu Hao couldn't come forward to do practical work, and Tang Yin's official position was not too high, so Zhu Si obviously had helpers, but he seemed isolated in the court.

……

……

Zhu Hao was busy until midnight.

Zhu Si to the third watch before the drum sounded, only Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin accompanied Zhu Hao until late, Zhu Hao solved all the sparse music and made a list.

At this time, the fourth watch has passed.

"Grandpa Zhang, rest early."

Zhu Hao saw that Zhang Zuo's eyes were red and his face was tired, so he couldn't help but apologize and comfort, after all, it was because he came late that Tang Yin and Zhang Zuo were busy until late.

Zhang Zuo smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu should rest earlier, our family can catch up on sleep during the day, but Mr. Zhu has to go back to the Hanlin Academy to work."

During the conversation, Zhang Zuo was very kind.

This is also the reason why Zhang Zuo stood firm in the early years of Jiajing, because he has an easy-going personality and is not the kind of treacherous person who will do anything for power.
