Chapter 784: The Emperor's Shadow

Yang Tinghe, unsurprisingly, ran into a wall at Empress Dowager Zhang's again.

In his expectation, since last year, Empress Dowager Zhang has tried to avoid contact with foreign ministers, or to prevent Emperor Jiajing from thinking that she, the queen mother, is inclined to outsiders.

In Yang Tinghe's view, Empress Dowager Zhang's move is tantamount to telling him that the mourning family is very satisfied with this emperor's son, his throne is stable, this court should not toss anymore, everything is up to the new emperor, and the mourning family retreats into the background, so don't bother the mourning family if you have anything, go to the court and say, just treat him as a normal emperor.

Without the assistance of Empress Dowager Zhang, Yang Tinghe's biggest backer in the court was gone, which made him feel that his time was running out in the first assistant.

What the emperor did one after another, it seems that he is competing with him for the gains and losses of the court, it is better to say that his prestige is violently output, and now Yang Tinghe is no longer as good as he used to be among the scholars, and many scholars have begun to have different intentions, and there are more and more attacks on Yang Tinghe and the control of the government.

Zhu Hao's home.

After Sun Jiao knew that the relationship between Zhu Hao and Sun Lan was not very "normal", he went to Zhu Hao's residence to visit him if he had nothing to do.

In order to avoid being gossiped about, he greeted him in advance every time, and it was a day or two in advance, or more than half a day in advance, so that Zhu Hao was prepared.

If the old man wants to visit your house, I can't be the only one waiting for me to come at home, right? You and your wife must greet each other together!

Sun Jiao was also heartbroken for the sake of his daughter and son-in-law.

「…… The cancellation of the museum selection is your idea again? If you do this, you really want to offend the world's scholars, what good will it do you? You can't just forget who you are when you're in Hanyuan!"

Sun Jiao also came to Zhu Hao with a wave of anger that day.

I met with Zhu Hao once before and told myself that I was going to allocate funds for the southeast coastal defense, but it seemed that Zhu Hao had been "used", and now Sun Jiao has not even figured out how he was used.

At that time, the emperor listened to his advice, and directly canceled the increase in the cost of southeast coastal defense, and let the household department formulate its own allocation plan, and let his grandson make the decision.

Sun Jiao always felt that the emperor's compromise was paving the way for a larger conspiracy.

Zhu Hao said: "Look at what Elder Sun said, I am from Hanyuan, what good will it do me if I don't choose Jishi?"

Sun Jiao sneered: "Put it on you, there are more benefits, and there are fewer potential competitors, isn't it?" This is probably the most direct benefit!"

"Hehe......"

Zhu Hao laughed.

Sun Jiao's old face is full of wrinkles, his wrinkles are different from others, Sun Jiao, who was seventy years old at the time, is really old enough to be able to enter the ground at any time, among so many people in the court, it is estimated that someone will send his Sun Zhitong's obituary tomorrow, no one will be surprised, but will think that the first to die should be you.

Zhu Hao smiled: "In Elder Sun's opinion, my competitors are just a group of Jiji who entered the court one year later, right? Is my vision too low, just a little bit of pattern?"

"Uh......"

If you put it simply, you will hand over Sun to ask the jam.

Think about it too.

What is Zhu Hao's identity?

The most trusted staff around the emperor has always been on behalf of the emperor Zhu Pi, fighting happily with Shoufu and Liubu Shangshu, etc., and often does not fall behind, and his style of action is difficult to understand, and the result is to help the little emperor gain a firm foothold in the court in just two years.

Such a person, after the fall of Yang Tinghe, it is estimated that he will soon become a bachelor of Hanlin, and he will be able to enter the cabinet in a few years, and even those who will be the first assistant, will they care about some of the people who entered the Hanlin Academy two years later than Zhu Hao?

The pattern that Zhu Hao said is not enough, it is more like mocking Old Man Sun, your vision is like this, right?

I suggested that the emperor not choose the Jishi, do you think I am jealous of the virtuous and envy of the ability, targeting a group of juniors?

"So you're still targeting Yang Jiefu?" Sun Jiao asked.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I didn't target anyone, it was a decision made by His Majesty personally, and I basically just reminded me a little about the consequences of doing so." Will test the wind

Bo, it seems that His Majesty is all on the side of Yang Ge Lao, but in fact, don't you think that Your Majesty has a thorn in his heart and has lost the trust he deserves in this Jinshi?"

Sun Jiao thought about it, and although he didn't want to admit it, he nodded in agreement.

Although this session is the first Beijing test in the true sense after the new emperor ascended the throne, and the first batch of protégés of the Son of Heaven were selected, but because this group of people was selected when Yang Tinghe and other civil official groups controlled the government, and during the previous examination, some people thought that the civil official group had done a trick in reading the papers in order to select party henchmen loyal to Yang Tinghe to enter the court, which naturally made the emperor repulsed.

In this way, it is reasonable for the emperor to cancel this hall selection examination.

Zhu Hao said: "Or in Elder Sun's opinion, I am too radical in doing things, but in fact, many times, I am just Kuang Fu Sheji, what Your Majesty wants to do, I am just giving advice and being an adviser, not led by me. Elder Sun, don't take my role too seriously."

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao's words made Sun Jiao feel very reasonable.

I may have overestimated what Zhu Hao did before, and felt that everything was done by Zhu Hao.

But now that I think about it, how is it possible, Zhu Hao is just an ordinary teenager, he is still just a child.

But this is the effect that Zhu Hao wants to achieve, which makes Sun Jiao think so.

Zhu Hao is by Zhu Si's side, just a consultant?

Joke!

Saying that Zhu Hao is the emperor's big butler underestimates Zhu Hao's value, and the current Zhu Hao is equivalent to half an emperor, which is equivalent to Zhu Si's shadow.

……

……

Sun Jiaobei and Zhu Hao "enlightened", instantly calmed down, and felt that he was too worried.

The matter of the pavilion selection is the emperor's will, so his son-in-law is just an "accomplice", and he can't say that his son-in-law has offended the world's scholars, and Sun Jiao, an old minister who was born in Jinshi, is at ease and continues to support his son-in-law's actions.

"Father is gone?"

Sun Lan prepared in the inner courtyard for a long time, prepared a large table of meals, and prepared to leave his father for a family banquet.

As a result, I found that my husband was the only one sitting at the desk reading a book.

Sun Lan is curious, isn't her husband very busy?

Why did you send away your father-in-law and still have time to stay at home and read?

Is it to create an opportunity for the two to get closer?

Zhu Hao said, "Yes, I'll leave him for dinner, and he insists on going back, as if your two brothers will go home tonight." And said I'll take you back to see them."

"Hmm."

Sun Lan nodded in relief.

Zhu Hao rushed back from outside, so why shouldn't she.

The husband and wife are too busy to be at home now, what her husband is doing, she actually doesn't have much to pay attention to, she is in charge of the women's school and the workshop, and she is so busy that she is very happy.

Sun Lan is also a new woman with independent thoughts, and now she is studying under Lou Suzhen, who is used to being independent, and the two are both masters and apprentices and good sisters, and they seem to have found the meaning of life in Zhu Hao.

"Go and tell my wife for me, tell her that I may have to move the workshop out of Jingshi recently, leaving only the female school and the laboratory, so that she can prepare, if there are not enough female workers, they will be rerecruited, and those who are unwilling to follow the migration will be paid a severance pay." Zhu Hao said.

Sun Lan asked puzzledly, "Why is this?"

Zhu Haobian flattened his mouth: "How to say it, in the middle of this year, there may be some changes in the court situation, to put it simply, Your Majesty is about to be fully pro-government, and there will inevitably be disagreements between monarchs and ministers, I don't want to get involved because of business matters, I can only move everything I have on hand that can be moved out, at least let others see it."

Sun Lan was even more incomprehensible.

She heard it, probably because the emperor wanted to have some head-on conflict with Yang Tinghe, and then Yang Tinghe would most likely hand over the power of the court.

This is the result of the game between the monarch and the ministers, the court was originally like this, there will inevitably be a rivalry between the emperor and the ministers, and the final winner is most likely the emperor.

But what does all this have to do with her husband?

Zhu Hao got up and said, "You don't have to stay at home at night, I'll tell Ling Zun when you go back, don't come to us to meet if you're fine, if he doesn't worry about you, I'll go back and take him to the girls' school to take a walk, let him know that you have a career." Ling Zun still can't let go of you in his heart after all."

The grandchildren who have children in old age attach great importance to the affairs of their children.

Especially Sun Lan's daughter.

At the beginning, Sun Jiao refused the marriage request of Xingwangfu and made Sun Lan's decision not to marry for life at home, so he owed Sun Lan a debt in his heart. Although Sun Lan is now married to a wife, Sun Jiao still feels that this is a political marriage, and it is inevitable that he will have thoughts of being ashamed of his daughter from time to time.

Sun Jiao looks old-fashioned, but he is the kind of person who pays great attention to family.

Pay attention to the family, and the wood is about to die, and naturally cherish the children very much.

……

……

Speaking of which, Zhu Hao hasn't seen Lou Suzhen for a long time.

When Lou Suzhen first started, she often went to visit Tang Yin, and Zhu Hao thought that the matter between the two should be a matter of course, and there would be no obstacles.

Who knows, Lou Suzhen won't go later.

It may be that Tang Yin and Lou Suzhen had some conflicts over some things, and then they ...... Stirring up emotions?

Zhu Hao really can't understand this kind of middle-aged and elderly people's concept of love, they used to have families and rooms, probably the type that can be confidants, but can't be husband and wife.

If you are a confidant, you don't have to care about the trivial things in life, but if you want to be a husband and wife, you have to care about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and you are no longer respectful of each other, but you have to be busy for life.

Being a family member is much more tiring than being a friend.

Zhu Hao used Sun Lan's mouth to inform Lou Suzhen that the workshop was about to be relocated, in fact, he wanted to tell Lou Suzhen that a big turmoil in the imperial court was about to begin.

Before and after Yang Ting and Zhishi, a huge whirlpool will be formed in the imperial court, and many people will involuntarily get involved.

Zhu Hao is ready to let Zhu Si take the initiative to promote the Great Rites Discussion as in history, and complete this purge of the opposition forces in the DPRK and China.

Yang Tinghe is gone, and when he becomes the emperor, he will show his imperial power, and at this time, the minister will be given a chance to choose, whether you are on the side of the emperor or on the side of the old civil servants and bureaucrats......

Once chosen, the emperor will put the opposition to the pot.

When Zhu Hao arrives, he will come from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, then what he does in the people will become a constraint, and the obstacles must be removed in advance, and all the stains that hinder his progress must not be there.
