Chapter 697: This time in a direct way
Night.
In Lou Suzhen's bedroom, Sun Lan came to visit and asked about the lyricist of "Linjiang Immortal".
"Childe admits that the word was indeed made by him, with his indifference at the time, I realized, or in Childe's mind, the false name of a word is nothing, he is young, but he has an open-mindedness far beyond the current famous Confucianism, such a bearing is really a general's style, my sister should be at ease now, right?"
Lou Suzhen spoke with a little envy.
This stupid sister is usually still feeling sorry for herself there, but she doesn't know that the true son of heaven has already become her husband, but she always wants to do something, what kind of spiritual love is there?
Now that you know, it turns out that the person you admire in your heart who can guide the country with magnificent words and sentences is your future pillow person, how do you feel?
Do you always want to avoid marriage and be alone?
Sun Lan seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, and said with a wry smile, "I think the truth is like this."
Lou Suzhen couldn't help but wonder when she heard this: "It's impossible for Ling Zun to deceive his daughter...... Ling Zun said that it was the son of the Yang family who admitted in front of him that the words were made by Zhu Hao, how could such a thing be fake? Alas! Be kind to him, tomorrow he will leave for the south, tonight should be the time for you to get together as a couple, are you ......
In other words, you can make up for it now before Zhu Hao leaves, and it may be too late to close the relationship between husband and wife.
Zhu Hao wants to go far away, and when he comes back, it may be a few months or even half a year later, if it doesn't go well, it may be possible to stay in Jiangnan for a year or two.
The world is difficult, and who knows what will happen in a year or two? If there is any misunderstanding between husband and wife, go to the room and make it clear, why are you talking nonsense with me?
Sun Lan shook his head slightly: "Time is also fate, in fact...... I'm not against anything, just ......."
"Now that I know that the person I admire, I have long been by your side, and I regret it?"
Lou Suzhen is not a young woman after all, she has a mature and intellectual soul, so she always likes to joke about this unenlightened sister, "At this time, I don't know how to cherish the people in front of me? Childe is talented, and there are few women in the world who admire him, you have such a good opportunity, you should seize it, but don't let people occupy the magpie's nest."
Lou Suzhen said this, in fact, for Sun Lan's good.
Because of the promise to Zhu Hao, Lou Suzhen couldn't tell Sun Lan about Ouyang Fei's willingness to be a concubine, and Lou Suzhen guessed that if Zhu Hao had been going south for a long time, and Ouyang Fei had already intended to commit himself, then when Zhu Hao came back, maybe Ouyang Fei would have to challenge Sun Lan's status as a concubine.
Although from a legal point of view, Sun Lan, as a wife, should not be afraid of these.
But from a woman's point of view, the wife is not as favored as the concubine, and she can't get the husband's heart, so isn't the woman a failure?
Sun Lan nodded, but didn't say anything.
Obviously, Sun Lan had some concerns in his heart, mainly from Zhu Hao's side...... It seems to be too indifferent, and it is difficult for the daughter's family to take the initiative to take that step.
……
……
Before Zhu Hao left, that is, the morning before departure, he took Sun Lan back to see Zhu Niang.
After a brief greeting, Zhu Hao took a carriage out of the city.
Sun Lan sighed slightly, and there was a little more resentment in her expression.
"Take care of the house, wait for me to come back."
Zhu Hao poked his head out of the car window and said loudly, "You should know who to call for something...... There are also people who are secretly protecting each other, so you don't have to worry. I'm leaving."
Zhu Hao said two words to Sun Lan.
Although they were all simple words of entrustment, Sun Lan felt that there was something in the words.
Looking at the carriage in the distance, Chunyu, the maid next to her, approached and said, "Miss, it's time to get on the sedan chair."
"Huh?"
Sun Lan retracted his mind, and the palanquin man was already waiting beside him, respectfully waiting for orders. Only then did she remember that Zhu Hao specially bought a sedan chair for her to take for her convenience.
Sun Lan didn't have any more feelings about her life experience.
Compared with the average boudoir woman, she now has a "career", and Lou Suzhen, her best friend, will not feel so boring in life.
There are many things waiting for her to do in life, and she doesn't have to put all her energy on men. In this era, it is rare for a woman to have such an independent mentality.
……
……
Zhu Hao walked with Yu Chengxun.
Each brought an entourage, and Yang Tinghe asked Shuntianfu to send more than a dozen officials to accompany him, a group of nearly 30 people, which can be regarded as a large number of people.
But for Zhu Si, he still couldn't rest assured, and insisted on sending Jinyi Wei to protect him closely.
In this way, the goal is inevitably too big, and the final result of the discussion is to let Luo An personally lead people to go to Jiangnan to investigate the rampant situation of the Japanese pirates, and to rectify the Nanjing Jinyi Guard, so that he can build an outpost for Zhu Hao, which is also to prevent any urgent affairs, and Zhu Hao must not be contacted and delayed.
Zhu Hao's only request for this is that he can't let any Jinyi Wei appear in front of the southbound team, and things can't be made too obvious.
……
……
Zhu Hao and his entourage left the capital.
It was planned to arrive in Nanjing in 27 days, which was a bit rushed in terms of distance.
After all, it is not a starry night, the main boat on the road, take the canal, go all the way to the south without stopping, to live is also to live in the post station along the canal, after arriving in Nanjing, it is planned to use half a month to a month to complete the official business, basically will not go out of Nanjing City, and return after the completion.
During the business trip period of almost two months, if there is a delay, I will basically not be able to return to Beijing until the end of the year.
In the first few days after Zhu Hao's departure, there was no shock in the court, and there was basically no big news.
The situation of Zhu Si's review is almost the same as in the past.
Yang Tinghe wants to detect clues from this point, but it seems that there is no chance for the time being, after all, now that Zhang Zuo and other ceremonial eunuchs are gradually experienced, Zhu Si's ability to deal with government affairs has also been greatly improved, and there is no problem in reviewing those notes that are not too difficult.
In case of trouble, we should first figure out what kind of yamen we should look for, find out when it comes to money, put pressure or give leniency, pay attention to the party affiliation and seniority when it comes to personnel appointments and dismissals, and how we can achieve both grace and power when it comes to border defense affairs...... All kinds of things, Zhu Si is also familiar with Zhu Hao's words and deeds.
Originally, in the past two months, Zhu Hao deliberately relied on the opinions of the cabinet, and most of the notes were based on the opinions of the cabinet, which also avoided the situation that after he left, there was a huge gap between the opinions of Zhu and Zhu.
But Zhu Hao knew that with Yang Tinghe's sophistication and viciousness, it wouldn't be long before he would find that the little emperor's ability to handle court affairs had declined.
Then it was necessary to do something that distracted him before Yang Tinghe became suspicious, so that he didn't have time to pay attention to the nuances of the review.
That is to push Liu Chun into the cabinet.
……
……
The way of starting things was straightforward.
On this day, Zhu Si opened a topic in front of all the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, as early as a few months ago, I proposed to increase the number of cabinet ministers in the cabinet, and I did not add more, only one more, I asked your opinions before, and now I propose that Liu Chun, a scholar from Hanlin, enter the cabinet, and you can discuss it."
As soon as the topic opened, the court suddenly exploded.
The emperor spoke too directly.
For no reason, he directly said that he wanted to increase the cabinet ministers, and designated Liu Chun, so he didn't give others time to react.
Sun Jiaorao was mentally prepared, and he was also taken aback by the emperor's way of speaking and doing things.
Sun Jiao thought to himself, and before parting, Jingdao said that he would help Liu Renzhong enter the cabinet after he left, and he originally thought that he had a clever method, and this was it......
As soon as this topic comes out, the ministers should show their attitudes, and the first thing to bear the brunt is Yang Tinghe, after all, Yang Tinghe, as the head of the cabinet, is qualified to put forward his own views on the issue of who will join the cabinet.
Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty, now that the matter of the draft is almost settled, seeing that the big wedding is approaching, it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches at this time."
It is said that after Zhu Hao left the capital, Zhu Si still had to face a big problem, that is, to choose the queen.
Now the selection of three candidates has been decided, namely Chen, Zhang and Wen.
None of these three are any
Chang is beautiful, in history, Chen was elected as the queen, for the queen of filial piety, died of a miscarriage and blood collapse; After Zhang succeeded as queen, he was the queen of Zhang's abolition; Wen was Concubine Wen Gong, who was imprisoned because of the incident, and died in the eleventh year of Jiajing.
Zhu Si's kindness and unkindness are vividly reflected in the three daughters.
Of course, there is also a certain reason, that is, the three daughters were all selected by the Empress Dowager Zhang for Zhu Houxi, he didn't like it, and gave birth to a rebellious mentality, which led to his lack of good temper towards the women in the inner palace later, otherwise there would not have been a "Renyin Palace Change", and he almost died in the hands of women.
Zhu Si's face was full of dissatisfaction: "I recommend a candidate to join the cabinet, this is called extraneous branches? One is in the palace and the other is in the court, so they don't affect each other, right? Or is it that Elder Yang Ge is unwilling to let others into the cabinet and affect your governance?"
The rhetoric is extremely intense, and it is simply a direct rebuke to the abnormal relationship between monarchs and ministers.
Yang Tinghe was stunned when he heard this.
The little emperor was fine before, why did he suddenly have a seizure? What kind of wind is this? Or did I say that the word "extraneous branches" touched the scale of the new emperor?
Just when a minister was about to jump out of the "death advice" and let Zhu Si take back his fate, the little emperor suddenly changed his words: "Forget it, I don't fight with you, in terms of candidates for the cabinet, the court and the central government have already discussed, presumably you already know in your hearts, in the past two days, the court will report the candidates one by one, and this time I will discuss it with all the secretaries...... How about I not be the only one and follow the opinion of the majority in the end?"
As soon as these words came out, the new emperor instantly changed from a willful and reckless monarch to a wise monarch who respected the opinions of his ministers.
This transformation......
It's a bit of a nervous path.
……
……
The court meeting ended.
As soon as Yang Tinghe returned to the cabinet room, Jiang Mian approached and asked, "Jiefu, what do you think...... What does Your Majesty mean by this? Do you really want Liu Renzhong to enter the cabinet?"
Mo said that Jiang Mian didn't understand, and even Yang Ting and himself couldn't figure out what was going on.
What is the new emperor's trouble?
At first glance, Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet was proposed, but his attitude suddenly became ambiguous, which meant that I did not force it.
This is different from Zhu Si's previous use of conspiracy and deceit to do things, according to the ministers' understanding of the little emperor, if the emperor really intends to let Liu Chun enter the cabinet, he should be knocked on the side, not so direct.
The more so, the more greasy it is.
I'm afraid that there is a candidate for cabinet entry behind him, waiting for an opportunity......
Could it be that the little emperor wanted Tang Yin to enter the Hanlin Academy, or even enter the cabinet directly? Or is it to forcibly push Sun Jiao to the top position?
Or ......
