Zhu Hao is not a person who binds his allies with human affection, he knows how to be measured, knows how to advance and retreat, and understands that since Huang Zan is a bachelor of Hanlin, the purpose is to enter the cabinet, but he is not willing to be a master for only about half a year.

An official fan like Huang Zan always has to promise him certain benefits.

Unconsciously, Zhu Hao and Huang Zan actually entered that kind of bargaining mode.

After talking to Zhu Hao, Huang Zan left the theater with complicated tastes, but Su Zhaogui didn't leave, stayed to discuss the matter of giving gifts to Zhu Hao, Su Xigui had a little apology on his face, and probably knew that now Zhu Hao and Huang Zan are a little bit less like cooperation, more like doing business.

「······ After Huang Gong arrived in Beijing, he received too many cold eyes, and Huang Gong once said in front of his contempt that it would be better to stay in Nanjing." "Is Huang Gong willing to go back?"

"This······ Naturally, he is unwilling, people go to high places, Huang Gong has endured so much criticism, only to get the status of today's Hanlin Bachelor, the next step can be entered the cabinet, if you leave at this time, wouldn't it be a failure? Besides, even if he returns to Nanjing now, I am afraid that these colleagues in the capital will not be able to tolerate him, so the officialdom of Nanjing will not be a place to stay for a long time."

"Hmm."

"Zhu Xiao, the contemptible people are definitely not fighting for Huang Gong, I just hope that you can fulfill your previous promise, let Huang Gong enter the cabinet as soon as possible, and let the contemptible people give him an explanation, so that what Huang Gong will go through in the future, the contemptible people can also retire."

While Su Xigui was talking, the small wooden box was handed over again, and he opened it himself, and it was not a silver ticket, but a stack of house deeds and land deeds.

Probably Su Xigui himself is also worried about Huang Zhan's future, and in order to run for an official position, he spends a lot of money, and he can't take care of being stingy and distressed. Zhu Hao said, "Take it back····· Have you had a lot of money lately? Soon a new railway will be built, and it will be built directly to Xuanfu, if you don't invest, there will be other businessmen who will contribute money and efforts, and you had better keep some belongings to ensure that you still have appeal among the funders in the future."

Su Xigui said with a smile: "The size of the appeal is not in the amount of silver, but in whether there is a strong backer, it all depends on you, the little master."

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Then you don't have to give me gifts for the time being, I will honor everything I promised, but after all, I can only propose to Your Majesty, who Your Majesty wants to use depends on the actual operation······ There is not only one contender for the position of Hanlin Bachelor, and recently Zhang Bingyong tried to dredge up the relationship and bring a group of people he had gathered in Nanjing to the capital."

"Understood, understood."

Su Xigui's political sensitivity is still okay, and he nodded, "The opponent is not an enemy, but a friend, there is only one way, maybe who can get through." "It's good that you understand, Huang Gong now needs to have his own basic situation in the court, not to form a party for personal gain, but to make His Majesty feel that there is a strong force behind him······ I said earlier that there will be a change of official positions in the court at the end of the year, and whoever goes up and down will be particular about whom, and if Huang Gong is just alone, it will be easy for him to be surrounded by strong enemies and not be able to make his own voice."

"Okay, okay."

Su Xigui nodded, got up and rearranged the wooden box, stuffed it into his arms, nodded and said goodbye and left. ......

Zhu Hao reminded Su Xigui that Su Xigui persuaded Huang Zan to form a gang and send more people to the court, so that he could form his own power. What Zhu Si lacks most now is precisely the help of central officials.

From the perspective of the traditional emperor, no one wants to see ministers form henchmen, but the problem is that now the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty have formed a party to oppose the emperor······ The emperor naturally wanted to see a large group of people in the court, with the purpose of discussing great gifts and safeguarding the emperor's rights and interests, firmly standing on his side, and every time they could come out to argue with the civil faction······

Zhang Chan can understand things, doesn't Huang Chan understand? Or does Huang Zan just want to protect himself? Do you have to come up with a posture of being a friend and a party, and boast of being high?

You Huang Zan have been in the dynasty for so many years, old subordinates, old friends should always have some, right? None of the people who stood on your side at a critical time?

Two days later.

Zhu Hao and Tang Yin went to the hot pot restaurant to eat together, and at the same time, there was also the recent Yutian Bo Jiang Lun.

Jiang Lun was talking about his experience in buying a shop at the dinner table, and recently Jiang Lun was rewarded by the Empress Dowager Jiang, and the emperor also began to deliberately cultivate his relatives and gave it to Xu

With more rewards, after Jiang Lun had plenty of money, he wanted to buy an industry in the capital.

Everyone's focus is also different, Jiang Lun naturally doesn't care about what happens in the court, but is more concerned about the prosperity of the shops along the street.

「······ Mr. Zhu, you give a suggestion, they all say that the Chongwenmen generation of shops is good, but I have been to see, there are few dignitaries and dignitaries walking around there, but the further you go to the north of the city, the more dignitaries, but you say that there are many scholars near the left side of this tribute courtyard, do you think it will be better to buy the shops over there?"

Jiang Lun asked Zhu Hao for business experience.

Tang Yin on the side said: "If you want to buy a shop, just buy it directly around here, do business, there are more people to prosper, maybe the feng shui around here is good?"

Jiang Lun scratched his head embarrassedly: "Actually, I also want to open a restaurant or something, but I'm afraid of clamoring with Mr. Zhu's shop, not to mention robbing this business, I'm afraid that others won't want to patronize me······

Tang Yin gave him a blank look: "You can't do something else?"

"Nothing else, it looks like this restaurant is doing business." Jiang Lun didn't hide it.

Zhu Hao said: "You should investigate the market more about this kind of thing, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys······ Mr. Tang, you don't plan to buy some property in the capital?"

Tang Yin took the teacup, slowly, and said with a comfortable face: "Forget it, even if I want to buy an industry, I would rather buy it in Gusu, the land of the capital is too dry, especially in this winter, the cold wind is biting, even if the red sun is in the sky, I can't feel warm, or the Jiangnan water town is more suitable for me."

As he was talking, someone from the Jiang family came up and said, "Master, there is a dignitary in the capital downstairs, I heard that you are here, and said that I want to invite you to drink two glasses."

Jiang Lun read the name card handed over by his subordinates, and said to Zhu Hao and Tang Yin with a smile; "Two, you talk first, I'll go down to meet a guest, and I'll come right away."

Waiting for Jiang Lun to go downstairs, Tang Yin also put down the teacup: "I don't know what's wrong with him recently, it seems that the capital is a big family, so he wants to visit, and he has agreed······

Zhu Hao said, "You can't understand this? His Majesty needs to have a deeper background and connections in the capital, this is a lesson summed up after several Great Rites Discussions, hasn't Mr. Tang recently mobilized some old friends to build momentum for the Great Rites Discussion?"

"Forget it."

Tang Yin is also real, shaking his head, meaning that you ***, don't want me to work hard.

At this moment, Tang Yin coughed violently.

Because Zhu Hao knew that the limit in Tang Yin's history was just a few years ago, he was a little concerned about the sudden changes in Tang Yin's body, even if he took a closer look.

Tang Yin waved his hand, signaling Zhu Hao not to be nervous, and said after calming down a little, "Fortunately, I have been feeling a little unwell recently, don't you see that I have even quit drinking?" It's good to get through the end of the year······ When the spring flowers bloom in the coming year, I will find three or five more friends, write poems and songs every day, and drink and talk happily."

.....

····

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

At night, Zhang Zuo accompanied Zhu Si to review the recital, and after half a ring, Zhang Zuo looked sideways, but found that Zhu Si was already there with his head distracted.

"Your Majesty?" Zhang Zuo reminded in a low voice.

Zhu Si came back to his senses: "There are too many concerts here, so I'll leave it to you······ Recently, I didn't approve it with Jingdao, but it saved him trouble, and it didn't mean anything at all······ It's better to be outside the palace, and the night is the busiest time."

The young man is playful, and Zhang Zuo knows very well that he can't condone the emperor to leave the palace after dark.

"Your Majesty, it's not early, it's better for you to go back and rest early, the inheritance of the Ming Dragon Heir is also very important······ ＂

Zhang Zuo, as the emperor's close person, is qualified to remind the emperor about the matter of the husband and wife, Zhang Zuo means that since you think the criticism is boring, then go back to enjoy the queen and concubines, it should be no problem, right?

And it makes sense to do that, it is more important than everything else to spread the branches and leaves of the Ming royal family as soon as possible and pass on the lineage. Zhu Si shook his head: "Just those few people, do you think I can't get tired of watching them?"

Zhang Zuo's face

The smile suddenly became very awkward. Talk to a eunuch about whether women are tired or not? I'm sorry, I don't feel like this question is out of the box.

"By the way, find a book for me to read, it's the one that Jingdao wrote before, just find a random one." Zhu Sidao. Zhang Zuo said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu has not written a new narrative for a long time, ······ you?"

"The old one is okay, this deep palace with high walls, do you think that only women will feel trapped within these four walls? Don't I feel it? For the rest of the recitals, you take them to the celebrant and ask someone to approve them for you····· If there is any difficulty in deciding, let someone send him out of the palace early tomorrow morning, and find Jingdao, he is in the city anyway, and he will show it to me before approving it."

Zhu Si had already stood up as he spoke.

Zhang Zuo regretted a little that he had reminded Zhu Si just now.

If you pretend not to see it, Zhu Si just sat there and wandered, now it's good, he doesn't care about state affairs, how can he be a diligent and self-denying Ming Monarch Holy Lord?

Zhang Zuo followed, arranged the manpower, and brought the book that Zhu Hao had written for Zhu Si before, Zhu Si did not go to the inner palace, just sat in the corner, and the three or five eunuchs around each protected a lamp, so that the lights were bright, and Zhu Si took the book to read there.

"Hey, hey."

Just when Zhu Si was fascinated, a little eunuch next to him suddenly laughed.

Zhu Si raised his head and glared at the smiling little eunuch and asked, "What are you laughing at?" The little eunuch hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave is wrong."

"I asked you what you were laughing at, and you told the truth, it's wrong, and you can't say it yourself." Zhu Si's face was displeased. I'm reading here, do you think it's ridiculous that I'm doing that?

The little eunuch lowered his head and said tremblingly: "The slave and maid took a peek and saw that the book said that there is an island in the south of the Yangtze River called Peach Blossom Island, and the slave and maid thought of it······ The emperor once went to Jiangnan."

Zhu Si was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, and grinned: "Hey, you reminded me, why did I stay in the capital all the time? I could have gone on a tour and seen what the world was like······ Interesting, interesting."
