The four ministers came out of the Qianqing Palace, and their faces were a little ugly.

Jiang Mian looked at Yang Tinghe and shook his head helplessly.

No one on the road spoke.

After returning to Wenyuan Pavilion, Yang Tinghe finally spoke, and he didn't even shy away from Fei Hong: "Won't you really want to let Tang Bohu, who is from a high background, enter the Hanlin Academy?"

In other words, I was annoyed because I refused Tang Yin to enter the Hanlin Academy.

Why do you think I, as the first assistant, should agree to such a rule-breaking thing? I said that letting Tang Yin retake the imperial examination was considered to have given the new emperor enough face, but the new emperor was unwilling to adopt it.

Fei Hong said: "Tang Yin is just a person, and he has become a member of the Ministry of Labor in just one year, that is an official vacancy that has never been obtained by many Jinshi Lin Zhishi, and he should have been satisfied a long time ago."

Mao Ji shook his head and sighed beside him: "This is not a question of whether Tang Yin is satisfied, but His Majesty wants to cultivate the old people of Xingwangfu in the court...... There are not a few teachers, lecturers, and companions in Xingwangfu, why do you have to cultivate Tang Yin alone?"

Obviously, Mao Ji also knew the inside story of Xingwangfu.

Zhu Si's teacher is not only Tang Yin, Tang Yin joined Xingwangfu halfway, or in order to avoid the pursuit of Ning Wangfu, he had to hide his whereabouts.

At that time, King Xing recruited people like Tang Yin into the palace, in fact, he wanted to make the palace bigger, if someone was impeached at that time, or he would arrange a charge of misdeeds for King Xing, after all, the palace was theoretically the source of the first heir to the throne in the Zhengde period, and this kind of thing was easy to be used to make a big fuss.

But Zhu Youqing has to reuse Tang Yin, which is enough to show that Tang Yin does have merit.

Jiang Mian asked, "It's ugly now, do we really have to consider who will not enter the cabinet?"

The problem is ahead.

The new emperor has directly mentioned the matter of adding cabinet ministers in front of the four cabinet scholars, and clearly said that it doesn't matter if you don't agree, he will directly take it to the court meeting and say, come to the court to push, and see who suffers in the end.

Yang Tinghe asked, "Is it important to nominate people to the cabinet, or is it important to maintain the rules?"

Obviously, even if Yang Tinghe knew that by stuffing Tang Yin into the Hanlin Academy, he would be able to shut up the little emperor on the matter of candidates for the cabinet, he would still not compromise.

Don't say that Tang Yin is a lifter, even if Tang Yin is a Jinshi...... Yang Tinghe couldn't agree either.

Everything is that Yang Tinghe is very clear about Tang Yin's role and existence value in the new imperial system.

If Tang Yin succeeds in getting the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy, with this resume, Tang Yin's entry into the cabinet is in front of him, so the little emperor will really not be able to control it.

Tang Yin is different from other cabinet ministers, he is the hardcore of the little emperor, and he is not from an orthodox "class", and the people of the wild road suddenly enter the cabinet, and it is easy to disrupt the originally stable order of the court, as if now Tang Yin has shocked the order of the household department and the Ministry of Industry.

Yang Tinghe could not allow the unstable elements of the imperial court to run in front of him to show off his might.

"Yes, in fact, many people in the DPRK are qualified to enter the cabinet, so you can consider it more and wait for the court to push it."

Jiang Mian mentioned.

Mao Ji said: "In my opinion, the courtiers can be opposed by the courtiers during the court discussion, and ask Your Majesty to withdraw the order."

Tingtui?

No way!

The emperor said that if someone enters the cabinet, we have to agree?

What Mao Ji meant, we can't just fight for the candidates to join the cabinet, but we should put an end to the little emperor's attempt to casually stuff people into the cabinet from the beginning!

Therefore, at the court meeting, it is necessary to argue with the emperor on the basis of reason, and Zhu Si cannot be allowed to open a precedent for casually increasing the number of cabinet ministers!

"Hmm."

Yang Tinghe nodded, obviously agreeing with Mao Ji's point of view.

……

……

No matter who enters the cabinet, Zhu Hao, a historian, will not have any chance to revise.

In this matter, although Zhu Hao is the planner, he just needs to watch the excitement throughout the whole process.

The news quickly spread throughout the Hallym Academy.

「…… Have you heard? Your Majesty this morning

Summoned a few cabinet ministers and proposed to increase the number of people in the cabinet, but I don't know who is qualified to join the cabinet?"

"I think Mr. Liu is the first to bear the brunt...... He has been a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and now he is in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, and he is the main writer of the edicts and everything, so it is a pity that he is not in the cabinet."

"Not necessarily, you may not know that Bachelor Liu and Yang Ge Lao do not have a good relationship, I heard that Bachelor Shi and Bachelor Feng have more opportunities."

People talk about it in private, maybe it can't be regarded as a small area, it's just a circle discussion in public, and even Zhu Hao, who has never been involved in this kind of thing, can hear what they say.

The scholar Shi mentioned by the Hanlin is naturally Shi Xuan, and the bachelor Feng is Feng Xi.

Although Feng Xi is famous in the Hanlin Academy, he belongs to the representative figure of the Northern School of literati, but he has always been lacking in prestige, easy to be used, in history Feng Xi participated in the Zuo Shunmen incident, and was later punished to Fujian Zhenhaiwei, originally had the opportunity to enter the cabinet, and finally ended up in a miserable end.

It can be said that the political factional struggle in the early years of Jiajing was extremely serious.

The outbreak of Zhu Houxi in the third year of Jiajing can be said to be a kind of catharsis of the oppression of the little emperor in recent years. Many people did not rush out to be the first bird, but instead stabilized and over-steady, and later achieved higher official positions.

It is difficult to make a public judgment on which is right and which is wrong.

Zhu Houxi's struggle for the fame of his father and mother was unacceptable in the eyes of the Confucian officials led by Yang Tinghe, and even violated the rules and regulations of the ancestors, believing that it violated the righteousness of Confucianism.

But the question is......

The emperor fought for the fame of his biological father and mother, is it not also in line with the Confucian filial piety?

It all depends on the angle from which the dialect is ......

Zhang Xuan and others' great gifts can attract many people to join the court, not because Zhang Xuan represents the new emperor, but because "succession without heir" itself is also in line with Confucian theory.

Zhu Hao summed it up as:

Now whoever stands out for Yang Tinghe will be praised by the scholars and will be added to the rank of knight in a short time;

And one day in the future, with Yang Tinghe's retirement, those who stand up for him will face the fate of being liquidated and punished by the emperor, and they will not be able to die......

Perhaps because of this, the middle- and lower-level officials of the Hanlin Academy saw that even if Liu Chun was the most prestigious, he was expected to enter the cabinet according to the rules, but he lagged behind Shi Xuan and Feng Xi in terms of ranking.

……

……

Zhu Hao went home.

It was also Zhu Niang who said that she hadn't seen her daughter-in-law for a long time, so Zhu Hao took Sun Lan, pretending to be a harmonious husband and wife, and went back to see her old mother together.

Zhu Niang was very happy, took her daughter-in-law's hand and asked, but Sun Lan didn't know what to say.

Because of Zhu Niang's questions, she didn't know the answer to most of them, and some of them vaguely knew it, and she couldn't say it...... This makes her very shy, always silent in front of her mother-in-law, but also quite pleasing, at least in the eyes of Zhu Niang and Aunt Li, this is not a master who likes to make trouble.

She is a beautiful girl, and she is much better than Zhu Hao, who was born in a military household.

"Xiao Hao, this is your climbing...... Be kind to people."

When Zhu Niang sent her son and daughter-in-law away, she specially called Zhu Hao to her side and explained two sentences alone.

After Zhu Hao took Sun Lan back to the titular mansion, he said directly, "Do you want to spend the night at home? If you don't want to be here, you can just ask someone to send you to the girls' school."

Even if Zhu Hao and Sun Lan don't live together, they know that Sun Lan lives with Lou Suzhen most of the time.

The relationship between the good sisters has improved a lot recently.

Zhu Hao hadn't talked to Lou Suzhen for a long time, and he didn't know what the sisters had communicated, and Lou Suzhen didn't plan to tell Zhu Hao, the young master, some of the situation.

"No...... No need......

Sun Lan snorted.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Ling Zun told me before, the Sun family has now moved to Jingshi, and your mother is here, I don't know if it is your biological mother or ...... Hehe, speaking of which, I don't know much about your family affairs, so let's find some time to talk about it later."

Zhu Hao really doesn't have much to do with Sun Jiao's family affairs.

Sun Jiao had a son in his later years, there is no record in history of what happened, Zhu Hao couldn't ask others to ask a result, so it was naturally difficult to say it directly in front of Sun Jiao.

I don't know Sun Lan very well, and it's far from the time to talk about this kind of topic.

Sun Lan just nodded.

Obviously, Sun Lan cares about her family very much.

I got married in only a year with my father in the capital, and most of my family learned the news in my hometown, only my brother attended her wedding, and the banquet held in Sun's mansion was very perfunctory, and Sun's friends basically didn't attend, and the scene was extremely deserted.

In a word...... Her marriage is a political marriage, and she has always been estranged from her husband's family, and it is difficult to integrate into the life of the Zhu family for a while, but the connection with her family is still close.

"Alright, you can decide for yourself, I'll go first."

Zhu Hao said and turned around to leave.

Sun Lan had already gotten out of the sedan chair, and asked in surprise, "Won't the master go in?"

Zhu Hao stopped and looked back, and said with a smile: "What master, am I old? If you don't feel like you're used to calling me anything else, just like Madame, you can call me son."

Sun Lan lowered her head, not knowing how to call Zhu Hao.

Here Zhu Hao was about to leave again, and Sun Lan said, "Actually, my sister ...... Madame told her concubine a lot about her."

"Really?"

Zhu Hao was surprised and turned back again.

How confidential is Lou Suzhen's matter? As a dead person, Lou Suzhen would easily leak her identity to Sun Lan?

If this is the case, then Lou Suzhen does regard Sun Lan as a confidant.

"Actually...... The concubine didn't believe it at first, but she didn't think about it...... She's ...... The ...... of King Ning's Mansion"

Sun Lan is not good at saying too bluntly.

After all, I'm afraid of being heard, this is not in the inner courtyard of the deep house after all.

But she only said this, and Zhu Hao understood everything.

Lou Suzhen is really fearless and dares to say anything.

Sun Lan may also feel that if she knows such a secret, she should tell Zhu Hao that she has known the inside story, so as not to cause any misunderstanding between the husband and wife.

"Let's just say it, as long as you don't leak it to the public, she is lonely, I'm afraid she will treat you as her own person, so she will tell ...... She is good at many of the things you like, so learn more from her on weekdays."

Zhu Hao didn't mind much.

He had to hurry back to deal with official business, so naturally he couldn't say too much to Sun Lan.

Let it be.
