Tang Yin didn't know how to check at all.

Zhu Si didn't let him bother Zhu Hao, which meant that he had to figure out by himself what was the best result.

But in fact, the reality is also a slap in the face.

Because no matter how he checked, there would be no results, and it seemed that he could only announce that the examination was fair and just, and there was no fraud or selfishness according to the guidance given by Zhu Mingyang in the matter.

After two days, Tang Yin was busy for a long time and was extremely depressed.

It is equivalent to the emperor and the first assistant of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe, jointly invited me to go out of the mountain to investigate a "big case" that caused a sensation in the government and the opposition as a non-official.

Even he felt like a failure.

……

……

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

On the third day of the first month of March, the case had been investigated for two days, and Zhu Mingyang reported the preliminary results.

Zhu Si held the report in his hand, looked at it for a long time, his expression was not shocked, and Zhang Zuo on the side didn't know what the little emperor was thinking about this matter.

「…… Your Majesty, in fact, this time it is really difficult for Mr. Tang, now even the Jinyi Guard has not been dispatched, only let Mr. Tang go to the Gongyuan once, at most he has seen the sealed files, if you can find out who is involved in the problem or internal and external collusion, I am afraid that it will be too embarrassing."

Zhang Zuo began to speak for Tang Yin.

It's not that Tang Yin doesn't do things, it's that the enemy is too cunning.

Zhu Si put down the preliminary results reported by Zhu Mingyang, his expression was still neither yin nor yang, and his tone was very calm: "I know, I can't find out the results at all."

Zhang Zuo said: "So from the beginning, it was not for results, but for Mr. Tang to investigate, so that he could accumulate a reputation among the scholars, and by the way, let the world's scholars know that His Majesty had doubts about this matter......

Speaking of this, Zhang Zuo suddenly stopped.

Zhu Si glanced at him and sneered, "You are becoming more and more self-conscious."

"Ah, slaves and maids should die, slaves and maids should not speculate on the holy will."

Zhang Zuo hurriedly knelt down and said in fear.

Zhu Si got up from his chair and said, "You're right, as long as I give an order to investigate, I can give the scholars an explanation, so that they feel that I have done things with the imperial court, as for the result, maybe those scholars themselves know that now the surnamed Yang is in control of the government, and no one can find out the result, and in the end they can only transfer their resentment to the surnamed Yang."

When Zhang Zuo heard it, he seemed to have guessed correctly.

It turns out that his IQ can also be equated with Zhu Hao, and it seems that he has made great progress.

But then Zhu Si's words made Zhang Zuo feel a sense of frustration.

"But who says you can't find out the slightest? When the time comes, what I say, isn't it? Don't be clever when it comes to trouble."

After Zhu Si finished speaking, Zhang Zuo was stunned.

Feelings Zhu Hao is not out now, but it does not mean that he will continue to lie dormant, if Zhu Hao really comes out in the next step, the impact may be to set off a monstrous wave in the DPRK.

……

……

Zhu Hao has been at home at home for the past few days to "support his mother".

Usually the study is not out, Sun Lan moved from home, and this time also reflects the appearance of a filial daughter-in-law.

Zhu Hao was at home for a few days, and finally ushered in the first visitor, not Yang Shen or Tang Yin, but Sun Jiao.

When Sun Jiao heard that his own mother was sick, he specially asked people to bring gifts to visit, but it was always inappropriate for him to enter the widow's house, so he specially sent someone to greet his daughter first, and when he arrived, he also brought a doctor with him...... In this way, he did not come alone, but came with a cordial greeting, so that people could feel his full sincerity.

But in fact, when he entered the mansion, he went to calligraphy with Zhu Hao, who came out to greet him, and he hadn't even seen Zhu Niang's face.

「…… In the past two days, the government and the opposition have been discussing the matter of the examination, and you really still made a move, but looking at the situation in the past two days, even if Bohu goes to the Gongyuan to investigate thoroughly, the Ministry of Rites will not reveal any information to him, and it is estimated that it will not be over." Sun Jiao shook his head and said.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Yes."

Sun sighed: "The old man is not here to tell you this, you are in Beijing, but you never show up, knowing that you are doing things behind your back, but you don't know how to do it, it makes people very anxious."

Sun Jiao is also a little addicted to being an official now.

Not because of the official position itself, but because of what he did, he was addicted.

Looking at how Zhu Hao was playing tricks behind his back and helping the little emperor deal with Yang Tinghe, he felt that it was interesting.

Especially at the beginning, he looked down on Zhu Hao, and felt that his young age was too eager for quick success, but through in-depth understanding, he finally found that Zhu Hao was a talent, not only good at strategizing, but also always able to solve problems in some fancy ways, so he stayed in Beijing as an official, which was much more interesting than before.

God's perspective is refreshing.

Sun Jiao knew that all this was planned by Zhu Hao behind his back, but Zhu Hao hid at home and didn't come out, Sun Jiao scratched his ears and cheeks, his heart was itching, and he had to come to the door to find out.

"What the hell are you doing these days?"

Sun Jiao asked.

Zhu Hao said: "In the past few days, I have been drawing some things, I mentioned to Sun Lao before to build a train, right? Oh, I don't think I mentioned it...... It is to build a kind of iron shell that can breathe smoke in Xishan, which can transport goods to Beijing, and in the future, this kind of thing with strong transportation capacity will be extended from Xishan all the way to Xuanfu and then to Datong Mansion. This side is connected to the canal and develops in the direction of Yongpyeong Province or Gangnam......

Sun Jiao seemed to listen to a book from heaven, and his eyes turned to the things drawn on the white paper on Zhu Hao's desk.

"Is this what you're doing?"

Sun Jiaoting was interested.

"Yes."

Zhu Hao nodded heavily.

Sun Jiao asked, "You went to Xishan before, you were busy with this, right?" Where does the money come from? If you want to build this thing, you don't have tens of thousands of taels of silver, can you stop it?"

Zhu Hao said, "Elder Sun, it's not a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver, if you only need tens of thousands of taels of silver...... Look at my house, I can move something from the warehouse casually, or there may be tens of thousands of taels...... It's not the proceeds of bribery, my family has this money in the first place."

Sun Jiaobai glanced at Zhu Hao: "I didn't say that you were corrupt and perverted the law, besides, you are not in office, where is the opportunity to bend the law?"

Zhu Hao smiled: "It's really not, if you want to be corrupt and bend the law, I have hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver in a year......

Sun Jiao felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.

He knew that outside the household department and the inner mansion, there was also a small yamen, which was specially designed to raise money for the emperor, so that the little emperor could operate freely without the household department, and the emperor had money to buy some military supplies, and this small yamen, needless to say, was under Zhu Hao's control.

As the head of the household department, watching others do ghosts behind his back, even if he knew that the silver should not be under the control of the household department, his grandson Jiao was still worried for a while.

"Old Sun, you're not here to ask me this, are you? Anything else?"

Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Sun Jiaodao: "Xuanda, I heard that after the year, the imperial court has been discussing the removal of the positions of the general system of trilateral military affairs and the general system of Xuanda military affairs, do you know?"

"Hmm." Zhu Hao nodded.

Yang Tinghe previously agreed to let Zang Feng go back to be the governor of Xuanda, wasn't it just to prepare for the removal of the position of governor of Xuanda after the year?

Li Yue, the governor of the three sides, strictly speaking, cannot be regarded as Yang Tinghe's disciple, but after Li Yue took office on the three sides, he appointed Peng Ze's old department.

In the border army system, the two governors are not brought out by Yang Tinghe or Peng Ze, but most of the generals and officials under their command are related to Peng Ze, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the northwest is now Peng Ze's territory.

Sun Jiao sighed, "Now that you know, you should react appropriately, right? The old man is afraid that you will make some more things that shake the mountains."

Zhu Hao said: "I don't have any reaction, just withdraw it, anyway, it will be arranged again in the future."

"What do you mean?"

Sun Jiao glared at his son-in-law.

It took so much effort to arrange Tang Yin to the position of governor of Xuanda, but now he has been abolished together with Zang Feng, who has just been reinstated, you actually

Think it's okay so indifferently?

So what did you do before?

Zhu Hao said: "The root of the problem in the northwest is whether there is a war or not, and Mr. Tang's station, which looks inconspicuous, has divided the Tatars internally. In a year or two, the Tatars will have to think about the consequences of plundering the Ming Dynasty......

"What consequences?"

Sun Jiao frowned, "You think of yourself too seriously, don't you? Will the Tatars do what you want?"

Zhu Hao shook his head, "It's not that they are willing to listen to me, or act according to my will, it's that they themselves haven't figured out how Juyongguan lost that stop, they haven't even figured out our way, and they will rashly start a new war?" Even if the upper echelons of the Tatars want to do this, or if those big tribes want to do this, the small tribes below are willing to give away their heads again without knowing the true strength of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Uh......"

Sun Jiao was dumbfounded.

"Besides, the purpose of the Tatars was not to capture the capital in the first place, they came to plunder the goods, and the pay should be proportional to the gain, so they are willing to come, if it is not proportional...... If they come and they are going to lose men and horses, why should they do this kind of loss-making business?"

Zhu Hao has a good analysis.

Sun Jiao wanted to say, do you think this is business?

Can you still trade at a loss?

But Zhu Hao's words, after thinking about it carefully, really make sense.

Besides, Sun Jiao saw that Tang Yin was a pawn who was charging into battle, and the young son-in-law in front of him was the one who really planned and calculated, since under Zhu Hao's planning, Juyongguan achieved a great victory, then Zhu Hao was the most qualified person to say this.

"Mr. Tang is in Beijing, because of the party dispute, he can't be on a mission, if there is another war in the northwest, Mr. Tang can go up at any time...... I don't think the Tatars will be stupid." Zhu Hao smiled.

Sun Jiao was a little depressed.

Listening to the meaning, Tang Yin seems to be the military god of the Ming Dynasty, and the purpose of staying in the capital is to be a door god so that the Tartar ghosts dare not invade?

Sun Jiao thought to himself, looking at Tang Yin's appearance, he didn't look like a guy who could hold the pass.

"Elder Sun, let's put it this way, now that Elder Yang Ge is in the dynasty for a day, whoever is in the military and political affairs of the Northwest General System will be subject to its restrictions, and the result will be the same. The purpose of the previous disturbance was to let Elder Yang Ge know that this situation in the northwest would not be possible without him and Peng Shangshu."

"Now that we have proven our strength to them, it doesn't matter who is left to be in charge of the system."
