Chapter 786: The Silent Game

Since Yang Shen revealed in public at the welcome banquet of the Hanlin Academy that the poem was written by Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao's reputation exploded instantly.

Zhu Hao was already well-known before, but more because he was admitted to the top prize, and he was a rare young talent in the world.

This time it was a direct sensation.

Recently, Zhu Hao is sitting at home, and the invitations to invite him to participate in various literary gatherings in Beijing have come like snowflakes, as if everyone wants to know Zhu Hao, an open-minded person who can create the best word cards in the world, and at the same time can endure and not pursue fame until now.

Even Tang Yin knew about it.

「…… When I went out fishing, I heard people mention that others didn't know who I Tang was, but they knew that I Tang had accepted a good disciple, and I, as a gentleman, felt very embarrassed."

Tang Yin ran to Sixianju that day and reviewed the recital with Zhu Hao, but couldn't help but compliment Zhu Hao a few words.

Tang Yin was ordered by Zhu Hao to come to Sixian Residence to work.

An idler, who wants to hide at home every day and be lazy? Even if you are free, it is also for you to regulate your body and avoid burping early, but it does not say that you should escape from the world and be a scattered person.

Go fishing when you have nothing to do?

This kind of good thing, I Zhu Hao haven't even taken the turn, why let you enjoy this leisurely and comfortable life?

Zhang Zuo smiled and said, "Now, everyone knows Mr. Zhu's reputation, and if I talk about it in the future, I will say that I know Mr. Zhu, and my face is also bright."

"That's right."

Tang Yin lazily agreed, "But I'm afraid that some people don't bother to admit that they know us."

Zhu Hao glared at Tang Yin and said, "Less yin and yang, Mr. Tang, let you come to do things, not to listen to your casual pastime there. Shall we finish this mountain of music first? After the beginning of spring, many of the backlogs of government affairs should be resolved."

Tang Yin sighed and said, "Somehow, even if there were many in the past, it didn't reach this point, right? Or is it that the celebrant or you kid have been lazy every day lately?"

When Zhang Zuo heard this, his expression was restrained.

Not only because Tang Yin attacked the celebrant supervisor, but also because of ...... This kind of lazy thing, even if it is done, it is also done by the emperor.

Isn't it nominally what the emperor should do?

Zhu Hao said: "The cabinet deliberately slowed down the progress of the vote, in the past, it had to be sent to the celebrant on the same day, but now some of the performances can be held overnight in the general political envoy department, and it will be delayed for a day or two to the cabinet...... In the past, His Majesty did not send it to the middle of the country, but now the cabinet is trying to delay the report as much as possible...... Do you have a place to reason?"

Zhang Zuo hurriedly asked, "Then Mr. Zhu, does this mean that the cabinet has made a move?"

The cabinet was supposed to act as an advisor to the emperor.

But after the Hongzhi Dynasty, the cabinet actually had the power of the prime minister, and when Zhu Si ascended the throne, the cabinet actually controlled the main yamen of the DPRK and the central government.

It is also because of the recent Zhu Shu Zhu Approval, Zhu Haoduo issued some edicts in the name of the emperor, and did not use the cabinet's votes for Beijing and local affairs, so that the cabinet felt that the emperor wanted to make a fuss about the review of the Song Shu.

Yang Tinghe was not a person who sat still, and reacted immediately, deliberately giving the little emperor a problem.

In the past, what was important and what was not important was decided by the celebrant or the emperor, and now the cabinet will make a decision for you, depending on what the emperor has.

"Did you make a move?"

Zhu Hao smiled, "When will the cabinet not make a move?" It's just that now we have done things on the bright side, but we can't fall behind. They use means, and we have to keep up with the means, this is called a silent game, see who can't hold it first!"

Tang Yin asked, "So you want to come up with something to make the cabinet go around?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Or Mr. understands me, the way they fought back this time is not very glorious, the courtiers have no duty to decide on priorities, and the cabinet has no discretionary power, but now the cabinet has put itself above the six ministries, and even interfered in His Majesty's treatment of the court."

It's too weak to control things, if we don't pay attention to it."

Tang Yin said, "Shouldn't you show weakness at this time?"

"Showing weakness? At that time, if we still show weakness everywhere today, it will make people feel that it is easy to bully, so let's put it this way, Yang Ge is in the court, and it can be regarded as the last desperate fight!"

Zhu Hao said that the matter was very serious.

It's like Yang Tinghe is about to retreat from the court at any time.

Tang Yin wanted to discuss a few more words with Zhu Hao, but after observing Zhang Zuo's reaction, he nodded, which was regarded as acquiescing in Zhu Hao's attitude.

……

……

Yang Tinghe did make some changes recently.

But there are very few direct confrontations with the emperor.

The last head-to-head confrontation was still in the matter of the pavilion election, Yang Tinghe asked the Empress Dowager Zhang to ask the Empress Dowager Zhang to help make peace, but he ran into a wall again, and now Yang Tinghe could only make a fuss from the most direct power at his hand, that is, to play the vote.

Not everything in the cabinet can be disposed of on the same day.

The time for each concert to arrive in Beijing is different, and the time for the general political envoy to hand it over is also different.

There are many things that the cabinet needs to consider, and not everyone can cope with everything with several cabinet ministers, and everyone has different expertise.

Although Yang Tinghe is nominally in charge, and Yang Tinghe's approval is also required for major matters to be drafted, but in fact, many things are not directly interrogated by Yang Tinghe.

But as Zhu Hao said.

Now Yang Tinghe feels that his biggest crisis in the court has arrived, he can only control everything as much as possible, and there are some mistakes that he knows that the emperor may do the whole work, so he has to do some postponement processing, and he is more cautious in terms of ticket drafting, so that the emperor can't find fault.

If the emperor had to go against the votes of the cabinet in everything, it would actually shake the foundation of the stability of the imperial court.

In Yang Tinghe's view, as long as the emperor is not given a chance as much as possible when the vote is drafted, the absolute control of the cabinet over the affairs of the court can basically be achieved.

But even if he deals with it carefully, Yang Tinghe has been a little anxious recently.

When it comes to the details of Emperor Zhu Pi, only Jiang Mian is qualified to discuss the gains and losses with Yang Tinghe, and even Mao Ji, the cabinet minister who ranks third in the cabinet, has little say in these matters.

「…… My Majesty has secretly sent people to the Sixth Ministry many times to do things with private decrees and other orders without the approval of the Cabinet, which is contrary to the regulations of the Imperial Court, illegal but reasonable, and now there are many people in the DPRK and China......

Jiang Mian was worried.

In the previous Zhu criticism, not everything was done by the emperor as he said.

After Emperor Zhu's approval, in fact, there is still a review procedure, that is, the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy, the cabinet can refute and seal the emperor's approval of the violation of the system, which is why the edict of Zhu Sicanon was repeatedly rejected after the emperor's revocation.

But now, in order to avoid being coerced by the cabinet, many of the edicts approved by the emperor were directly sent to the six yamen, and the cabinet was not given a chance to renegotiate.

Although for the cabinet, there is also a window for court deliberations.

However, because Yang Tinghe is now on the cusp of the storm, he intends to avoid a head-on conflict with the emperor, and the time for court discussions is limited after all, it is impossible to argue with the emperor about everything, which also makes the emperor's opinions mostly directly used in court politics, and the cabinet's vote is equivalent to nothing.

This is different from the previous emperor who thought that if the vote was inappropriate, he would ask the cabinet to re-vote, and the emperor directly grabbed the authority to add Zhu to the vote.

The official level crushed people to death.

The cabinet vote seems to be implementing the power of the prime minister, but because there is still a procedure of Zhu Approval above, the emperor naturally stands on the commanding heights, so that the cabinet is a little helpless about court affairs.

Otherwise, why is it up to the emperor to decide after the cabinet vote is drafted, instead of the emperor putting forward opinions for your cabinet to decide?

Whoever has the right to decide, who has the right to occupy

According to the absolute superiority.

What's more, there is a demon-level Zhu Hao on the emperor's side, who is specifically targeting Yang Tinghe and the voting plans of the cabinet members, as the so-called you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, you Yang Old Man will not think that the cabinet has the power to vote, and the emperor will listen to you for everything, right?

Yang Tinghe felt powerless about this.

He closed his eyes and asked, "The previous military performance in the Northwest has any results?" If Your Majesty acts arbitrarily in such matters, justice will be judged in the court."

Jiang Mian said, "Your Majesty has not had much of a stay in the middle recently, but it has a ...... to the northwest Judging from Zhu Pi, it is mostly painless, and in addition to the question of whether the general system is retained, the northwest now involves more money and grain, and His Majesty now relies more on the household department, but it is just ...... The household department hasn't been doing things very efficiently lately."

The biggest problem in the Northwest is the lack of money.

It costs money to do everything, and of course food is also needed, and the results of these Zhu criticisms are all left to the household department to dispose of at its discretion.

It is equivalent to throwing the problem to Sun Jiao.

Don't you old man Sun like to be in the limelight? The issue of appropriation for coastal defense in the southeast has made you a little more beautiful, and now it is about the governor of Xuanfu who is dispatched in the northwest, or the person you recommend, the northwest and the imperial court want money, of course, you have to be responsible for the head of the household, do you let me do everything myself?

This is actually Zhu Hao finding something to do for Sun Jiao.

Didn't your grandson have a lot of energy to come to your daughter's husband's house to talk about the shortcomings of the family? Then find you something to do, let you be anxious, and see what you still have the mind to argue with the emperor.

Want to create a separate emperor and a third faction in addition to Yang Tinghe's faction in the court?

There are no doors.

Zhu Hao handed over the problem to Sun on behalf of the emperor.

But Sun Jiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The means used by Sun Jiao are only one point, that is, to thoroughly implement the "procrastination trick", and not to be active, even if the 100,000 people in the northwest are in a hurry to ask for the harvest of the salt tax to buy grain, the household department has no such thing, if someone in the court mentions it, Sun Jiao can also prevaricate and say that it is still in preparation.

Yang Tinghe said: "Sun Zhitong's move is neither for His Majesty nor for the world, but for himself!"
