At the end of the report, Huang Jin came out of the Qianqing Palace, followed by Zhang Zuo.

Huang Jin is respectful to Zhang Zuo, even if the two are both eunuchs in Xingwangfu, but Zhang Zuo's status is far above Huang Jin, and Huang Jin's respect for Zhang Zuo is like that of his boss and his own parents.

Zhang Zuo asked, "Long Shan, you told Your Majesty that Mr. Zhu plans to use Luo An, Lu Song and others to intercept the team escorting pig iron from the local guard...... That's what Mr. Zhu said in his letter?"

Huang Jin's body shook, and then he realized something, and hurriedly said, "No, yes...... Speculation."

Zhang Zuo's face was displeased: "You really want to think about it...... Mr. Zhu hasn't made up his mind yet, you dare to talk nonsense like this, so if Mr. Zhu didn't take the Jinyi guard to intercept the team transporting iron, then His Majesty asked, how should you respond? Tell Your Majesty that Mr. Zhu Jiaxiao has temporarily changed his strategy?"

A simple matter, after Zhang Zuo's words, Huang Jin suddenly felt the seriousness of the problem.

"I also ask Gonggong Zhang for some advice, I have a brain fever for a while, and I haven't thought about it."

Huang Jin quickly admitted his mistake.

Zhang Zuo sighed: "This little gentleman, you have seen it when you were in the palace, you have done things unexpectedly in the capital, and the use of means is unexpected, our family just reminds you, don't be smart next time."

"It's also that Your Majesty always wants Mr. Zhu to come back sooner recently, plus you take out the ciphertext letter, Your Majesty can't compare it word by word, what you say is what it is."

"But if Your Majesty really digs into it and finds that some of them are just speculations by you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to take charge of Dongchang in the future. The most important thing in working as a factory guard is to do what the peak asks you to do, and it is best not to get involved in your own opinions."

Huang Jincheng was terrified: "Remember your humble duties."

Zhang Zuo was quite satisfied with Huang Jin's attitude, nodded and said, "It's all my own family, don't be polite, just remember it in the future." Then find a way to send more people to Yongping Mansion, so that whether it is Mr. Zhu Jiaxiao or Mr. Tang, they can be mobilized at any time. Go for it."

Huang Jin arched his hand: "I will go here."

After Huang Jin said goodbye to Zhang Zuo, he walked for a while before he stretched out his hand and wiped a cold sweat from his forehead.

At this time, he deeply understood the meaning of "accompanying the king as accompanying the tiger", the emperor did not trouble him, Zhang Zuo mentioned it first.

Huang Jin was glad that he had not offended anyone in the palace in the past, and he was respectful to Zhang Zuo, otherwise he might have been put on small shoes behind his back.

……

……

Yongping Mansion City.

Zhu Hao was still "sick", and occasionally met Jiang Shan's subordinate officials from the same prefect's yamen, and they all said a few words through the curtain between the inside and outside.

Only when Yang Shen came to visit in private, Zhu Hao got down from the "sickbed", and the two of them sat down together at the tea table in the flower hall of the side room, poured tea, and talked alone.

Yang Shen said, "You are pretending to be sick and addicted, and you still don't show up?"

In Yang Shen's opinion, you have all returned to Fucheng, so there is no need to continue to pretend to be a ghost, you can go out to show people.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "It's all pretended, it just so happens that I don't like to have too much contact with people in the local officialdom, and now that it has come to this point, my task basically no longer includes governing one side, this prefect only needs to manage one acre and three points of land in the mine."

"You...... Alas! It's up to you."

Yang Shen was a little speechless at Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao said: "Brother Xiu has something to say."

Yang Shen took out a letter, but did not show it to Zhu Hao, only let Zhu Hao know that there was such a letter, and he orally conveyed it: "My father sent a letter, telling us to use the Yongning Wei people to transport away the pig iron you hid there in the mountain behind the mine, and hide or build weapons in the nearest Yiwei Station."

Zhu Hao nodded: "It's good, Yang Ge Lao has thought it through, this is more secure than hiding near the mine or transporting it to the capital."

Yang Shen said, "Now that Yongningwei is the acting commander of the military affairs, Li Bo, I want you to meet him and discuss this matter with him."

Zhu Hao was a little embarrassed: "This ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? I am the local prefect, and when I go to see the people in the guard, I still talk about deceiving the court

I'm afraid it's ......."

Yang Shen said, "Who else is suitable besides you?"

Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "Brother Xiu, it's not that I'm pushing back, it's really that I can't do anything about it...... Now that I've been able to get this done, I've taken a big risk, and you can't put more weight on me. Besides, if Elder Yang Ge really wants to arrange for Yongningwei's people to assist in the errands, does he just want to rely on me, the prefect, to help operate?"

In fact, Zhu Hao was embarrassed to say it.

Are you Yang Shen still in the past in the capital?

At that time, I was nominally your father's protégé, and your father assigned me to do things, and even I was almost obedient to you, but now that the emperor, Old Man Sun, and your father have reached an agreement, and I will become Old Man Sun's person, if you still want to give orders to me, you have to consider whether I am willing or not.

Yang Shen didn't expect Zhu Hao to refuse so simply.

But Yang Shen immediately understood.

Zhu Hao told him about the hidden pig iron, and also gave him the opportunity to secretly inform Yang Tinghe, and had a proper solution, which was the result of Zhu Hao's adventure.

This does not mean that Zhu Hao still thinks that he is a member of the Yang family.

Yang Shen is not qualified to use Zhu Hao as an excuse to add an official to the knighthood and let Zhu Hao use it for his purposes, because from a certain point of view, Zhu Hao's future career has been arranged, and after stepping down from the prefect of Yongping Mansion, he will return to the capital as a household minister.

Zhu Hao's career prospects are part of the three-way deal, and even if Yang Tinghe is the first assistant, it is difficult to say that he has single-handedly assigned Zhu Hao to some remote place as an official.

And this is precisely the reason why Zhu Hao designed all this.

I can gain the trust of your Yang family, continue to help you do things, and obtain the information you want, but I don't have to bear the charge of betraying the Yang family, and even Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, can't decide where I will be assigned in the future.

Then whether it is Yang Tinghe as the first assistant, or who in your civil official faction will be the first assistant in the future, there is no way to justifiably transfer me to a place in the corner.

Since my career is the result of a political deal, then your civilian faction wants to unilaterally tear up the agreement?

At that time, the emperor will stand up and say, no, Zhu Hao was appointed to manage the mine after the original discussion, then he must stay in the household department, otherwise I will take back the mine and continue to send people to operate and go out to open new mines.

Yang Shen said: "My father asked Huai Roubo to communicate with Li Bo secretly, but whether Li Bo would agree or not, two said. If there is a relationship like yours, and the prefect and the guard office come forward together, then Li Bo should be able to dispel his worries."

Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head, "It sounds like this, but I still can't do it. Now that I have been appointed by the Ministry of Households to take over the mine, I cannot knowingly commit a crime, and I hope that Brother Xiu will understand."

Even if Yang Shen said a high-sounding reason and asked the local civil officials and military generals to join forces to deal with Jinyiwei, Zhu Hao still rejected it cleanly.

In the past, Yang Shen would definitely give Zhu Hao a face, but now he is embarrassed to do so.

"Alas!"

Yang Shen sighed, "Maybe you're right, it's because I'm too strong."

Zhu Hao smiled.

You, Yang Yongxiu, actually learned to consider problems from the standpoint of others?

It's not easy!

In the past, there were too many places where you were strong, far more than today, although you and I work together, but we have stood on different positions, how can you still use your brain to run errands like before?

It's time for a change!

"Brother Repair is trying to go by yourself? Listen to my advice and don't go. If Huai Roubo can say that Li Bo can move, it is good, but if he can't say that he can't move, whether it is the people from the prefect's yamen, or you or the people you brought, they can't touch this matter, otherwise they may leave hidden dangers...... I'm also thinking about you, Brother Brother."

Zhu Hao seemed to be quite considerate of Yang Shen.

Yang Shen suddenly laughed: "Then what do you think, let Zisheng go?"

Zhu Hao was a little speechless.

You Yang Shen will really take advantage of it

Person.

In the past, I just used me, I originally planned to be an undercover agent and let you take advantage of it.

But now Xu Jie is just an innocent young man who has just been admitted to the Jinshi, you have to pull others into the water, aren't you lacking in virtue?

Besides, did you say that you pulled Xu Jie into your camp?

Even if you are willing, do you ask Xu Jie?

Zhu Hao smiled bitterly: "It's not impossible, but if you do this, will it ruin his career?" Besides, if he comes forward, will Li Bo ruin this face? Is it still going to involve you?"

Zhu Hao was also reminding Yang Shen.

Xu Jie, no matter what he said, came with you, if the matter fermented, and it was revealed that Xu Jie went to meet with the people of the local health center, and privately transferred the pig iron that should have belonged to the government-run mine, then Xu Jie's everything would be finished? Also, Xu Jie came with you, can you say that this matter has nothing to do with you?

"Hmm."

Yang Shen nodded, "It seems that it can only be seen whether Huai Roubo has such a face."

Zhu Hao asked, "Dare to ask, Huai Roubo knows that this matter involves court disputes, why does he still come forward? I want to ask, will it have something to do with him being transferred to Nanjing as a co-garrison?"

Yang Shen glanced at Zhu Hao angrily: "You know too much, it's not good for you, anyway, my father secretly found him, and he can't leak the things that my father asked."

"Lords, they are often doing these hard jobs, who makes them famous for generations? If you change the background of these civil ministers, you are really a son of heaven and a courtier."

……

……

Even if Zhu Hao didn't agree to Yang Shen's proposal, it didn't reduce Yang Shen's trust in Zhu Hao.

The two have a discussion.

That night, Zhu Hao also had dinner with Yang Shen.

During the banquet, news came that Tang Yin wanted to see Zhu Hao.

Yang Shen said: "The news of your illness is estimated to have spread to the capital, and Tang Bohu has seen you in the mine, am you afraid that he will tell the above that you are pretending to be sick?"

Zhu Hao shrugged: "Do you want to make a small report to Your Majesty?" Your Majesty cares about a little person like me?"

"You used to be a small person, but now the situation is different, it is related to the mines opened by His Majesty, and people on several sides are probably trying to win them over, don't be arrogant." Yang Shen said.

Zhu Hao said to Yu San, who came to pass the word on the side: "Tell Mr. Tang that I am not feeling well and it is inconvenient to meet guests, so let him come back again."
