Tang Yin may really have no worries, and will say whatever comes to mind.

He is probably also the one who thinks about Zhu Hao most sincerely in this era.

Both of them are big celebrities around Emperor Jiajing, and they have a close relationship with Zhu Si, so it stands to reason that they should want to help Zhu Si take power now, even Zhu Hao didn't expect that the old boy would actually talk to him about military power.

"Sir, it's not appropriate for you to say that." Zhu Hao said with a wink.

Tang Yin was originally interested, so he casually mentioned it, and he really didn't think about anything else, but after Zhu Hao's reminder, he suddenly found that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and subconsciously looked around, and saw that no one else was present, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then stopped talking about related topics.

Zhu Hao poured Tang Yin another glass of wine: "The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty are distinct, and it is difficult to twist into a rope, which is probably the reason why Yang Ge Lao can only end miserably in the end no matter what he does, if this is placed in the former Tang Dynasty, the result is not certain."

Tang Yin glanced at Zhu Hao and continued to drink.

Because of the inadvertent mention of fighting for military power, the atmosphere at the wine table was a little depressing, and Tang Yin still had some doubts about the court in his heart, but he didn't mention it again.

……

……

After Zhu Hao met Tang Yin, he went to see Lou Suzhen again.

On the same day, Zhu Hao was entrusted by Lou Suzhen to accompany Tang Yin to fish and eat, because Lou Suzhen wanted to encourage Tang Yin to "cheer up".

When Zhu Hao got along and talked to Tang Yin, he roughly told Lou Suzhen about it, and Lou Suzhen's face was gloomy.

「…… It seems that Mr. Tang still has no intention of pursuing a career, if he feels that the concubine is noisy, the concubine can quit his current job, concentrate on taking care of the affairs of the courtyard in the future, and no longer interfere with the actions of the son and the husband."

Lou Suzhen was afraid that Tang Yin would think too much, so she took the initiative to ask for a retreat.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Madam, you don't have to blame yourself for Mr. Tang's words or two, it's not your fault, in fact, even if you let Mr. Tang further become a bachelor of Hanlin or enter the cabinet, he may not have that heart. But it's you, ma'am...... If I had to choose, I would rather choose you to be my staff."

"Why did Childe say that?"

Lou Suzhen hurriedly refused, "The concubine body has no such ability."

Zhu Hao said: "Ha, don't think about it, if I cooperate with Mr. Tang, he can't be my helper, but I have to do chores for him, that's why I say that."

Zhu Hao explained, but even Lou Suzhen understood that Zhu Hao was just a disciple of Tang Yin in name.

In terms of practical ability, the gap between Tang Yin and Zhu Hao is not something that one or two of her Lou Suzhen can make up.

When Zhu Hao completed the entrusted work and was about to leave, he asked about the preparations for the arsenal by the way, and Lou Suzhen intentionally reminded: "Gongzi should have not returned to visit Mrs. Zun for many days recently, right? Childe should take care of family affairs more."

"Huh."

Zhu Hao didn't expect that Lou Suzhen was not only interested in Tang Yin's affairs, but also asked about her own family affairs.

Lou Suzhen said seriously: "The son is getting older, but he has no heirs, it is estimated that Lingtang will also be anxious, the son should not ignore family affairs for the sake of the court, after all, this is related to the future of the child, you must not be careful!"

Zhu Hao nodded: "Okay, I've made a note, I'll go back when I have time, madam, you should also think more about your own affairs, don't always think about others and don't care about yourself."

Lou Suzhen smiled freely: "The child's teaching, the concubine body has also been recorded."

……

……

In the court, the matter of who enters the cabinet and who becomes a bachelor of Hanlin is still fermenting in secret.

Zhu Si cleaned up his mood that day, slipped out of the palace, and arrived at Sixianju, while seeing Zhu Hao, he still didn't forget to call Jiang Lun and Tang Yin together, probably to gather relatives and friends for dinner.

Zhu Hao was already in Sixianju to review the recital, Zhu Si arrived, the two of them went to the private room to listen to the play first, at this time the stage downstairs was empty, after Gongyeling was taken into the palace, Zhu Si had not come out to listen to the play for a long time, and the stage of Sixianju was about to be deserted.

「…… It's not interesting at all in the palace, I heard that the dancing girls in the Western Regions are dancing very much

One set, what Hu Xuan Dance and Hu Teng Dance became famous in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and what belly dance is popular now, can you help me find a few?"

Zhu Si didn't do his job when he saw it.

Probably became the emperor and became the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, so he didn't have the heart to care about so many errands, and he was in power, and now even the biggest opposition leader in the court was gone, Zhu Si had no scruples, so he thought about how to play.

Zhu Hao said: "I haven't seen it, and I don't know what it is, but I think it's just an ordinary woman, who has cultivated singing and dancing skills since she was a child to charm the world...... If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and it is better for Your Majesty to stay away from it."

"Hey, hey, hey."

Zhu Sixiao's voice was very ugly, and he didn't forget to joke Zhu Hao, "You have a good life and don't care about me? There are so many fun things in this world, I want to see what's wrong...... Oh, by the way, the train will be open in half a month, and I want to go to the opening ceremony in person, and I will ask you to accompany me then."

Zhu Hao did not refuse this time.

Zhu Si was the leader in the opening of the train itself, and now it has been completed, and the emperor endorses the train and railway, which plays a very big propaganda role.

It's just that to accompany this matter, Zhu Hao feels that something is wrong.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Hao still doesn't want to reveal his true identity, hiding in the shadows like now, not only to help the emperor do things, but also to maneuver among all forces, which is more in line with Zhu Hao's demands.

"Also, respectfully, I don't want to wait any longer for the matter of posthumously sealing the emperor, now is such a good opportunity, you have to hurry up, even the queen mother has been asking me recently, saying that this matter is related to the rise and fall of the Xingwang Mansion, the queen mother began to be emotional, saying that if she doesn't do it, she will go back to Anlu to be her queen mother of Xingguo, doesn't this make Lian embarrassed?"

Zhu Si was a little annoyed.

The pursuit of the emperor title for Zhu Youqi is really not Zhu Si's obsession alone, and even the Empress Dowager Jiang is a little ignorant of advancing and retreating.

It was probably because Empress Dowager Jiang had enough of Empress Dowager Zhang's anger in the palace, and now it was finally Empress Dowager Zhang's ally Yang Tinghe who withdrew from the court, and when she became a mother, she began to blow wind in her son's ears.

In Zhu Hao's view, although Empress Dowager Jiang was born in a big family, she was never from a scholarly family, and she did not have the ability to be far-sighted on major issues of right and wrong, and only cared about her immediate interests.

Zhu Hao said, "Your Majesty, it's better to find the Ministry of Rites Shangshu first and talk alone. As the minister knows, this Wang Butang has a very low sense of presence in the court after taking over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he has always wanted to prove his ability, so His Majesty should give him a chance to contact the courtiers to test his quality......

"Will he help me?"

Zhu Si's eyes widened.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Obviously not."

Zhu Si pouted: "Since you won't help, why are you looking for him?" You can do it."

Zhu Hao said: "That's different, the two sides make moves, there must always be dealings, the Ministry of Rites is a direct participant, as the minister expected, in order to balance the relationship between His Majesty and the ministers, in the matter of the Great Rites Discussion, it seems to stand on the position of the successor to the heir, but he will make a turn on some issues, otherwise...... What's the difference between him and the Mao Shangshu in the past?"

Zhu Si thought for a moment and didn't believe it: "His words, someone will listen?"

"He is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and if he doesn't have a say in the matter of the Great Rites, then who else does? Your Majesty will talk to him, test his tone, and then use his mouth to spread the word about the matter, so that the civil servants will know His Majesty's determination to reconsider the great gift, and then he will take the next step with his reaction." Zhu Hao said.

Zhu Si asked, "What did I say when I saw him?"

Zhu Hao said: "The minister will make a list for His Majesty, and then give His Majesty an unsigned note, which Your Majesty can use to ask for his opinion, so that the debate of the Great Rites can be officially launched."

……

……

What should come, will always come.

The reopening of the Great Rites Discussion is a landmark event for Zhu Si to consolidate imperial power.

It seems that they are only fighting for a name for Zhu Youqing and his wife, but in fact, it is to test the quality of the ministers of the DPRK and China, to see which people are on the side of the new emperor and which ones are on the position of the stubborn old school.

It doesn't have to be a trade-off, but if it is, it is keeping

The diehards in the old school, such as those who insist on coming out to die, can be suppressed by the emperor to reflect the majesty of the emperor...... Zhu Houxi in history, it was in this way that in just three years, he made the Ming Dynasty forget the problem of legal unity, and turned a small foreign sect into the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Si was instructed by Zhu Hao, and the next day, after the court meeting, asked Zhang Zuo to take the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Jun, to the Qianqing Palace.

Because the rumors about the Great Rites Discussion have long been spread in the court, Wang Jun probably understood what he was going to talk about next before he met the saint.

After Wang Jun arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Si was very polite and asked people to prepare a seat for him.

After Wang Jun excused himself three times, he finally sat down and talked to the emperor.

「…… Wang Qing's family, I won't go around with you, let's make it clear, I want to be the first emperor and add the name of the emperor." Zhu Sidao.

Wang Jun asked, "What Your Majesty said, but Emperor Xiaozong of Daxing?"

Zhu Si smiled and said, "You're a smart person, you don't have to pretend to be confused on purpose, right? Here's a copy of the courtier's recital, and if there's any merit in it?"

Saying that, Zhu Si asked Zhang Zuo to hand over the unsigned note that Zhu Hao had prepared a long time ago to Wang Jun.

Wang Jun took it and looked at it, his hands were trembling.

The matter mentioned in this recital made him such a self-proclaimed loyal and upright minister angry, and if it weren't for the emperor's presence, he would probably have thrown such a thing directly on the ground to show his disdain.

"Your Majesty, by no means!"

Wang Jun said, "The matter of the great gift was decided more than a year ago, and if His Majesty brought up the old matter again, it would only make the court uneasy and unstable."

As he spoke, Wang Jun stood up and bowed, as if he wanted Zhu Si to take back his life.

He didn't speak reasonably, but only said that this matter had been decided, and since the emperor had promised and made a promise, you should not be untrustworthy.

In fact, this can be regarded as a kind of evasion of the important and light.

Zhu Si was not annoyed, after all, he had long known that his opinion would not be responded to by orthodox civil officials, even neutral ministers like Sun Jiao and Zhao Huang did not support him to add Zhu Youqi as the imperial examination.

Both the DPRK and China are opponents, so why should they be angry and make themselves angry?

"I didn't say that it would be settled now, didn't I want you to go back with me and talk to someone? Don't rush to reply to me, I just want a more comprehensive opinion, and if we all have one opinion, then I will have to use some unconventional means...... So...... Hehe, Wang Qing's family must handle this matter carefully. Alright, you can go back first!"

Zhu Si was not in a hurry and issued an order to evict customers.
