Liu Chun thought that he knew Zhu Hao very well, but he only knew Zhu Hao's family background.

The relationship between Zhu Hao and Xingwangfu is superficial, and there is almost no understanding of the deeper situation.

And although Sun Jiao has a deeper understanding of Zhu Hao and knows that Zhu Hao is the new emperor, he doesn't want to leak too many secrets in front of Liu Chun, this is to protect Zhu Hao, even if he knows that Liu Chun has no ill will towards Zhu Hao.

Return to the official office.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly asked Zhu Hao, "...... Bachelor Liu went to find Sun Butang, but he didn't know what it was? Isn't it to test the reality of the little gentleman?"

"I'm afraid not."

Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head, "Usually Master Liu takes a lot of care of me, he knows that he has no hope of entering the cabinet, he doesn't have too much enterprising spirit, and recently taught me to take root in the Hanlin Academy with peace of mind, calmly face all difficulties and obstacles, and have an infinitely bright future in the future. He is carefree and approachable by nature, and he probably wants to leave the DPRK as soon as possible and return to his hometown for a few days of peace."

Walking around and nodding: "If he has the heart to help Mr. Zhu, it would be good...... candidates, or can ...... Hehe......"

Zhang Zuo means that he wants to promote you, it seems that he really values you, why don't you take advantage of this relationship and promote him in turn, let Liu Chun enter the cabinet, and help us?

But these words are always somewhat transgressive.

Who enters the cabinet, it is not Zhang Zuo and Zhu Hao's turn to decide.

Although from a certain point of view, Zhu Hao has more say in this matter, because almost all the big plans around Zhu Si are from Zhu Hao's handwriting.

This means that if you want to promote a new cabinet minister to fight against Yang Tinghe, Liu Chun is a more suitable candidate.

Zhu Hao said: "Regarding the issue of candidates for the cabinet, some time ago, someone in the DPRK and China has already talked about it, and in comparison, it is relatively powerful, and it has also been appreciated and supported by the first assistant Yang Gelao, who is Shi Xuan, a bachelor of Hanlin."

"Shi Xuan? Fear...... No......"

Zhang Zuo shook his head and directly vetoed this candidate in front of Zhu Hao.

If you want to recommend someone to the cabinet, how can you find a Shi Xuan who is in the same boat as Yang Tinghe?

This move is useless, thankless, and the new emperor still has no helpers in the cabinet.

Originally, Zhu Si hoped that Yuan Zonggao and Fei Hong would be able to help after they entered the cabinet, but Yuan Zonggao died, and Fei Hong had no sense of existence in the cabinet...... This is also related to the fact that Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian and Mao Ji are too strong, and Fei Hong can't help if he wants to.

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao nodded, "It seems that in the next step, Your Majesty can make a little fuss about the selection of candidates for the cabinet...... It's time to put that on the agenda."

……

……

Historically, before Yang Tinghe and Zhishi in the third year of Jiajing, there were only four scholars in the cabinet: Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, Jiang Mian and Fei Hong.

In the third year, Yang Ting and the three cabinet ministers of the faction retired together, Fei Hong served as the first assistant, and then Shi Xuan and Jia Yong entered the cabinet, forming a transition, at that time Gui Cao, Zhang Xuan and others also began to walk into the center of power, but they only entered the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor, and did not enter the cabinet, until the sixth year of Jiajing, the cabinet had Yang Yiqing, Xie Qian, two veteran-level figures promoted, and finally completed the replacement of the old and the new.

And in this time and space with Zhu Hao, the struggle between the new emperor and Yang Tinghe factions became more intense, so much so that the two sides launched a fierce confrontation over the addition of cabinet scholars.

But Zhu Si has not made a move before, because the Hanlin Academy system is firmly controlled by Yang Tinghe, in this case, whoever enters the cabinet will have the same result, even if Yang Yiqing and Xie Qian are recalled at this time, it will be in vain.

Yang Tinghe will not step down, and the cabinet will not want to be in the hands of the new emperor.

Zhu Hao himself is well aware of this.

Zhu Hao has analyzed with Zhu Hao more than once, instead of fighting for power in the DPRK now, it is better to think about how to force Yang Tinghe away.

After Yang Tinghe retreats, no matter who is in charge of the cabinet at that time, it will become Zhu Si's bag, and it is useless to change anyone to go in now.

But what Zhang Zuo wanted was to change Yuan Zonggao's position in the cabinet to a person from the new emperor's faction, at least to form a certain clamp on Yang Tinghe.

Zhu Hao didn't want to brush off Zhang Zuo's kindness

。

In Zhu Hao's view, the matter of recommending people to enter the cabinet is not impossible to operate, and its purpose is definitely not to find a suitable person to enter the cabinet to block Yang Tinghe, even Liu Chun can't do it, mainly by competing for candidates to enter the cabinet and skillfully negotiate with Yang Tinghe, so that Yang Tinghe can make compromises on some other things.

Or let Yang Tinghe feel that the little emperor is out of line, so he will want to use such a direct and brainless trick as finding someone to enter the cabinet.

……

……

A few days later.

After Zhu Si dispersed at the Great Dynasty Meeting, he summoned Yang Ting and four other ministers to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Si first asked about the recent hard work of the four cabinet ministers.

「…… Recently, the Northwest Military News has been frequently reported, and someone needs to be on duty in the cabinet at night, and I think that you should not work too hard at your age, and I want to arrange a capable minister to join the cabinet and share the responsibilities.

Even though the four cabinet ministers knew that the little emperor intended to stuff people into the cabinet, they didn't expect to say it so directly.

Zhu Si saw that a few people were silent, and continued: "You don't need to be restrained, I didn't mention it in the court, but asked privately, I just don't want to make a claim, I prefer to listen to your opinions...... I am looking for someone to join the cabinet so that you can have more rest time and better serve the Ming Dynasty, so you don't need to think about it too much."

Zhu Si's tone was very sincere.

Whether or not to find someone to enter the cabinet, or who will enter the cabinet, it is up to you to propose, I did not publicly announce this matter in the court, just to limit the matter to a small circle, and while respecting your opinions, I don't want people to think that this is deliberately targeting a few of you old ministers.

That's the way it goes......

But who can't hear that the little emperor is just to appease the four scholars in the cabinet, and his main purpose is to make an article on the cabinet selection?

As the first assistant, Yang Tinghe originally had the most right to speak, but in this matter, he did not speak.

Because Yang Tinghe knew that, to put it bluntly, this was a contradiction between him and the emperor, and he couldn't fire the first shot, and someone needed to help him charge into battle.

Mao Ji said: "Your Majesty, although the current cabinet affairs are complicated, the ministers can basically handle them properly, and they have not dragged down any official business, so there is really no need to add additional candidates."

"Hmm."

Zhu Si nodded, "Okay, although I know that you will have a hard time in this way, since you don't need it, I won't make this proposal......

What?

The little emperor said it and took it back?

This is not the same as pulling it out and stuffing it back?

This is not the style of the little emperor!

Could it be that the purpose of his inquiry into the opinions of a few people was really to feel sorry for the hard work of a few ministers?

Fool whom?

We've all gotten into the Cabinet and treated us for fools?

Zhu Si suddenly asked, "I also want to ask, if an official has never entered the Hanlin Academy, can he not be promoted to the cabinet?"

That's the institutional problem.

Fei Hong came out and replied: "Your Majesty, this is not a rule, but the selection of ministers of the Ming Dynasty basically follows this rule, and it cannot be easily violated."

There is nothing wrong with the words.

"That...... Ladies and gentlemen, if an official doesn't even pass the Jinshi exam, is he completely unqualified to enter the Hanlin Academy?"

Zhu Si threw out another question.

This question sounded extremely idiotic, but several ministers understood it in an instant.

Didn't get into the sergeant?

That's lifting people!

Do you want to enter the Hallym Academy?

Come on!

Your Majesty, you just said that you want Tang Bohu to enter the Hanlin Academy, we are all smart people, we should communicate in a convenient and fast way, and we can hide it like this?

If you want to mention Tang Yin's name, just say it out loud!

Fei Hong continued to return: "Yes, no!"

Zhu Si frowned and said, "Isn't it? I heard that there are also some middle- and lower-level officials in the Hanlin Academy, for example

If there is a vacancy in the Hanlin Academy, it can be filled by a non-jinshi."

Fei Hong replied with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, even if those people enter the Hanlin Academy to work, they have no possibility of advanced editing and revision, let alone a way to be promoted to study and lecture, so naturally they will not be able to become a Hanlin scholar and enter the cabinet......

Zhu Si asked, "Isn't it okay for me to set a precedent? Before the long history of the Xingwang Mansion, the long history of Yuan Chang...... That is, Yuan Ge Lao, he does not have the resume of the Hanlin Academy, but he can become a cabinet scholar, there is a precedent, I am ...... I want to ......"

Speech is stumbling.

In the eyes of several cabinet ministers, perhaps the emperor felt that this matter broke the norm and was a little difficult to talk about.

Yang Tinghe finally came out of the queue and asked directly, "Your Majesty wants to let Tang Yin, a member of the Ministry of Works, serve in the Hanlin Academy?"

"This ...... Elder Yang Ge, you don't need to say it so absolutely, I am not for Mr. Tang alone......

Why don't you call us ministers "sir" so affectionately? This is enough to show that in your mind, you still trust Tang Bohu more, but treat us old ministers as political enemies?

Chilling!

Yang Tinghe said: "The Ming Dynasty system, people are not allowed to be Hanlin, if Tang Yin really has the heart to enter the Hanlin Academy, His Majesty can be gracious, cancel the restrictions on his admission to the entrance examination and the palace examination, and let him participate in the Beijing examination next year, if he can be ranked in high school, it will be a good story."

When Zhu Si heard this, he suddenly became angry.

Tang Bohu is a fifty-year-old old man, and he has not been in contact with the imperial examination for many years, so you actually let him go to the Jinshi examination?

Let's not say that you will make a big deal out of it, even if he is lucky enough to be admitted, there is no hope of entering the Hanlin Academy if he does not get into the first class, and you will not have all kinds of restrictions at that time?

It's infuriating!

obviously didn't refuse, but pointed out a dead end and a dead end for me and Tang Bohu.

Could it be that I naively thought that Tang Bohu could be like Zhu Hao and win the top spot in the first list?

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "Could it be that Tang Bohu is not confident in his own entrance examination?"

It's just pure pastime and fun.

Zhu Siqiang held back the anger in his heart and said, "I think that it would be better for several Qing families to work so hard, it would be better for one more scholar to assist you...... I want to hear your opinions, so I'll have a choice now!"

You have all rejected me so ruthlessly, and I will completely tear my face with you!

If Tang Yin is not allowed to enter the Hanlin Academy, I will find someone to enter the cabinet, even if the person who enters the cabinet cannot threaten such a position in the central court, I will disgust you.

It's best to be angry!

"Your Majesty, this is ......."

Fei Hong saw that the situation was out of control, and hurriedly came out to persuade peace.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Si stretching out his hand: "It's really nothing else. For the sake of the stability of the court, if you don't have a candidate, then leave everything to Tingtui!"
