Chapter 672: Revealing Your Heart (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Zhu Si heard Sun Jiao mention Liu Chun, but he just said "oh", as if he had also considered this candidate.

Zhu Si said, "Old Sun, I know that Master Liu may be suitable for entering the cabinet, but I actually want to ask, if so...... What can be done to break the convention, for example, to elect a person who is not very experienced, not very famous, or who others think is not very convincing?

"Is there any such thing as an appraisal system? For example, if someone has excellent political achievements, can he be directly admitted to the cabinet without following any old laws?"

Sun Jiao was stunned.

Someone......

Your Majesty, you are beating around the bush like this, to put it bluntly, you just want to recommend Tang Yin to the cabinet!

Sun Jiao asked, "Your Majesty's intention is to elect one person from among the old people of the Xingwang Mansion to enter the cabinet?"

"Huh."

Zhu Si smiled, "Actually, I really have this idea, such as letting Sun Lao enter the pavilion, it's good."

Of course, Sun Jiao knew that Zhu Si was joking.

What does my grandson look like, if others don't say it, don't you know it?

It's just a loach that is left and right, slippery and doesn't leave a hand!

I, the head of the household, have already worried Your Majesty, and now if you want to find someone to enter the cabinet, you will definitely not use a wall grass like me, right?

Sun Jiaodao: "The old minister is immoral and incompetent, and he can't afford to be praised by His Majesty. Here the old minister wants to ask His Majesty, you want to promote the person who enters the cabinet unusually, but Tang Bohu?"

"Ah! Mr. Tang? No, no, no, I'm not talking about him."

Zhu Si was also stunned.

Why did you suddenly mention Tang Yin?

If you want to promote Tang Yin unusually, do you need to ask your grandson to ask for advice? Since I called you, there must be someone who you and I both want him to soar, and that is Zhu Hao.

"I don't know if it's ......"

Sun Jiao clenched his bite, he couldn't have imagined that it would be Zhu Hao who the little emperor wanted to be promoted to the cabinet.

Zhu Si sighed, "It's Zhu Hao."

「……」

Sun Jiao was speechless for an instant.

The little emperor is really a maverick!

Dare to mess with anything, let Tang Yin enter the Hanlin Academy, which has made the four cabinet ministers worried, and now you actually want to promote Zhu Hao directly to the cabinet?

Don't you know that the result of this is that the court law does not exist?

This is not helping Zhu Hao, but harming him!

Zhu Sidao: "Jingdao grew up with me, and to me, he is also a teacher and a friend. In the past, the palace taught and practiced one after another, but only Zhu Hao has always been by my side, teaching me knowledge, and also talking about some life principles, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is my husband."

"In the past, in the Xingwang Mansion, I and the third sister ...... That is, the eldest princess, they all call him Mr. Zhu."

「……」

Sun Jiao continued to be speechless.

Now, except for this pair of monarchs and ministers, Zhang Zuo, who was accompanying him on the left and right, lowered his head as if he hadn't heard anything.

Sun Jiao finally understood why Zhu Hao could gain the respect of Jiang Lun and Tang Yin before, even if both of them were much older than Zhu Hao, especially Tang Yin was still Zhu Hao's enlightenment teacher in name.

It seems to be the result of the deliberate connivance of the little emperor.

Zhu Sidao: "It is not realistic to promote Mr. Tang to the cabinet at all, firstly, he is from a high background, and secondly, he does not have the resume of the Hanlin Academy, and the rules do not work. And Zhu Hao, he is the champion of the Ming Dynasty, and now he is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is only one step away from reading and lecturing, so there is no chance of being promoted at all?"

Sun Jiao was very worried after hearing this.

The little emperor was so eager to cultivate Zhu Hao into a cabinet scholar, could it be that Zhu Hao himself proposed it?

If Zhu Hao is really so ignorant of advancing and retreating, I am afraid that it will be the second Jiang Bin.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that you must not be in a hurry! Even if you trust Jingdao, he is just a teenager, and it will be difficult to convince the public no matter how he enters the cabinet, but I am afraid that it will make people feel that His Majesty is nepotistic...... Your Majesty, I wonder whose idea it was?"

Sun Jiao wanted to know if his son-in-law was really like this

I don't know what to do.

Zhu Si shook his head: "No one mentioned it to me, it was I who came up with it myself. Zhu Hao has always let me endure and wait until Yang Ge Lao Zhishi is showing his ambitions, but I feel that being this emperor is very aggrieved now, and there is not even a person to help speak in the court, only when Zhu Hao enters the court, I can reverse the decline in one fell swoop and argue with Yang Ge Lao head-on."

When Sun Jiao heard this, he was dumbfounded.

What has Zhu Hao done to make Your Majesty trust him so much?

"Your Majesty, isn't there a father-in-law Zhang in front of you? There are also many ministers who can help, as well as Bohu, and even ...... And the old minister."

Sun Jiao was in a hurry.

Holy Lord, your mind is dangerous, how can you rely on a teenager your age for everything?

You don't look like a Ming Jun, but you have a tendency to faint a king.

Zhu Si frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on Zhang Zuo, who was silently on the side.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly waved his hand: "The slave maid is not capable of this...... There is still a lot to learn from Mr. Zhu......

Mr. Zhu......

This title alone made Sun Jiao take a deep breath.

It's too dangerous!

Because of the new emperor's trust in Zhu Hao, even the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the minister of the hall is "forced" to call a young man Mr.?

What kind of nepotism is this?

Da Ming may want to mess up the country because of this!

Sun Jiaodao: "Your Majesty, no matter how strong Zhu Hao's ability is, he is still too far from entering the cabinet to deal with court affairs, and the old minister resolutely disagrees."

"Oops."

Zhu Si said helplessly, "Elder Sun, I called you here, that is, to ask for advice, to see if there is any way to promote Zhu Hao unusually, not to let him enter the cabinet immediately...... How could I not know that Yang Ge Lao and other ministers would vehemently oppose this? But if it's about ability...... Not to mention Zhu Hao's entry into the cabinet, it is more than enough to be a first assistant."

"Your Majesty, how can you do this? This...... It's unreasonable!" Sun Jiao was even more anxious, and almost hit his head on the pillar on the spot, persuading the emperor with a death admonition.

Zhang Zuo saw Sun Jiao's excitement, and hurriedly came out to explain: "Old Sun, don't worry, there are some things that are different from what you think."

Sun Jiaodao: "Father-in-law Zhang, you don't have to speak for Jingdao, he is the younger generation of the old man, even if he is a little anxious, but he can't be too pampered, there are more people in the world who can do things, and he can't deliberately cultivate and promote because he is close to His Majesty, which will make the Ming law chaotic, step ahead of the queen."

"This ......"

Zhang Zuo was speechless, and understood that Sun Jiao was treating Zhu Hao as Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and the like.

There were some words that Zhang Zuo felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but he was not qualified to say them, only Zhu Si could pierce the layer of window paper.

If Zhu Hao said it himself, it would be fine, but how could he expose himself?

"Alas!"

Zhu Si sighed, looking helpless, "Old Sun, do you know who was the person who helped me the most when I was the son?"

Sun Jiao thought to himself, even if you think it's Zhu Hao, there must be a misunderstanding, after all, he was just a child at that time!

Zhu Sidao: "That's right, it's Zhu Hao, he planned everything for me, and told me to be patient, this big tomorrow will be mine sooner or later. When I went to Beijing to wait for the imperial edict to take over the throne of King Xing, I stayed for a long time and did not return, and it was he who taught me to have fun and let the people in the court relax their vigilance, and at the same time he wanted me to learn how to be a competent emperor instead of a prosperous king."

Sun Jiao really couldn't listen to it, these words were inevitably biased, the emperor, you only said that it was Zhu Hao's credit...... The rest of the Xingwang Mansion didn't contribute?

Zhu Sidao: "After I ascended the throne, it was Zhu Hao who helped me take care of all the affairs of the court, so that I could slowly gain a firm foothold."

"Huh?"

When Sun Jiao heard this, he finally felt that something was wrong.

Help the emperor take care of all the affairs of the court?

How to deal with it?

Mining? Auction mines? Or is it a matter of coaxing on the matter of great gifts?

But...... Didn't Zhang Xuan put forward the big gift proposal?

Zhu Sidao: "

Sun Lao must not blame me for being desolate and slacking in the court...... In fact, after I ascended the throne, I always asked Zhu Hao for advice on matters big and small in the court, and even the inscriptions were mostly approved by Zhu Hao on behalf of Zhu Hao......

"Your Majesty......"

Hearing this, Sun Jiao's heart was already overturned.

Boy.

Zhu Hao helped the emperor review the recital?

The little emperor's ability to criticize the inscription is obvious to all in the government and the opposition.

It can be said that the new emperor can quickly gain a firm foothold and compete with Yang Tinghe, because the courtiers feel that the little emperor has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and can be at ease when he has just taken over the government, take care of the interests of all aspects, and win praise.

And all this...... It was actually Zhu Hao who did it?

How did he do it?

"Elder Sun is curious about how Zhu Hao helped me, right? In fact, Zhu Hao ...... You can imitate my handwriting, without the slightest mistake, I practiced calligraphy when I was a child, and many times I used Zhu Hao's mold paste, so ...... Father-in-law Zhang should be very clear about this." When Zhu Si said this, he actually looked a little surprised.

Zhang Zuo continued to bow his head and remain silent.

Zhu Si bragged about Zhu Hao's awesomeness, but Zhang Zuo was faintly worried.

This matter was not discussed with Zhu Hao in advance, so he pulled Sun Jiao over to discuss how to let Zhu Hao enter the cabinet out of the ordinary, and also told such a confidential matter, it is difficult to guarantee that Sun Jiao will not come to "kill relatives with righteousness" for the stability of the court.

But Zhang Zuo thought about it, some things are too absurd and bizarre, even if Sun handed over the palace and reported it, others might not be willing to accept it, right?

Zhu Hao is a young man, who has no heels in the court, and actually helps Emperor Zhu Pi every day? Can you still do it with ease? Who believes it?

But Sun Jiaozhen believed it.

Sun Jiao is not the kind of person who listens to the wind and rain, he finally found out after a long time of research and speculation...... Zhu Hao's status in the Xingwangfu system is higher than Tang Yin, Jiang Lun and even Zhang Zuo, and the late cabinet minister Yuan Zonggao is even more sidelined, and it seems that he has never been reused by the new emperor.

What did Zhu Hao do to make him gain such a lofty status? Let people do what they are told?

Just because the little emperor trusts him?

Obviously not enough.

That can only show that Zhu Hao has done something that others can't do.

Now that the new emperor said that Zhu Hao helped to review the recital, then everything makes sense, because Zhu Hao can be a hidden figure, secretly control everything in the court, let the new emperor's power rise rapidly, and force Yang Tinghe to retreat step by step, then Zhu Hao can be respected and supported by everyone in the new emperor system.

Otherwise, Sun Jiao's previous daily accumulation of details observed would not make sense.

"Your Majesty, how can you entrust the affairs of the court to a foreign minister?"

Although Sun Jiao was incredible, he still persuaded Zhu Si to stop.

In the end, it is a mess of the imperial court's common law.

Zhu Si said: "Zhu Hao is not a foreign minister, besides, he helped me deal with those things, and told me everything, and he didn't hide it, why should I doubt a loyal minister who can do things for the subjects of the world?"
