Chapter 936: Whom to Honor
The Zhu family said yes, does it have any attraction to Zhu Hao?
Zhu Haoxin said that the Zhu family has become this dead look, and he still thinks that it is a glorious thing to give orders in the family?
"There are some errands in the capital, please go and do it, uncle, maybe you can stay after you finish it······ It's useless to talk too much, it still depends on your actual actions!"
After speaking, Zhu Hao was excited, shook his sleeves and said, "Let's go!" Zhu Wanhong looked at Zhu Hao's back, feeling a sense of frustrated powerlessness.
An attendant behind him approached and asked, "Senho-sama, what should we do next?"
Zhu Wanhong was still whispering in front of Zhu Hao before, but in front of his subordinates, he was arrogant: "Errand! If you can't even sleep, don't sleep, and in half a month when you arrive in Beijing, whether it's an errand entrusted by the top or a temporary assignment, let the brothers below keep an eye on it, and if you can't do it, you will be dismissed on the spot!"
"Yes."
The subordinates didn't know where Zhu Wanhong got such a big anger, and they cursed in their hearts, but they could only reluctantly follow Zhu Wanhong to the direction of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

Xu Jie returned to the capital and went directly to the Hanlin Academy for editing. Yang Shen made an appointment with Zhu Hao through Xu Jie's relationship.
Originally, Zhu Hao didn't want to see him, but Yang Shen said that it was for Zhang Zhang's business, so he patiently went to the meeting, and Yang Shen didn't put any extra pressure on Zhu Hao, only invited Zhu Hao and Xu Jie, and set up a banquet to entertain them.
"Jingdao, you are a busy person now, you can't be found anywhere, ask you when you will return to the Hanlin Academy, you try to push back, just ask you if you have any plans to set things right for the court recently?"
Yang Shen poured wine for Zhu Hao, but he was not annoyed by Zhu Hao's refusal, and he chattered to Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao said: "I don't even want to take on the errand assigned by the imperial court, what else can I talk about setting things right? What is the opposite?"
Xu Jie explained from the side: "That's right, Yang Shijiao just told me that there are many societies in the capital, which are formed by some unpopular scribes, and all the discussions are biased views, including discussions on the etiquette of the imperial court."
Yang Shen added, "You should know who these societies are related to, right?" "Zhang Bingyong?" Zhu Hao asked.
Yang Shen nodded: "After this person returned to Beijing, he was very active, and he was not visible in the Hanlin Academy, but he could be seen on the occasions where all kinds of scholars gathered in Beijing, this kind of person would do anything to achieve his goal, and even a group of supporters surrounded him, just like flies staring at stinky meat, so that there were many alternative noises in the Jingshi's discussion about etiquette, which needed to be corrected in time."
Zhu Hao nodded, indicating his understanding.
Zhang Xuan is more energetic than Huang Zhan, full of motivation to do things, although Zhang Xuan is not too old in age, but he Bi Jing has just become an official, and he is full of enterprising, which is always different from Huang Zhan, an old oilman who has been immersed in Yin officialdom for decades.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Xuan initiated the Great Gift Discussion, and he was a big celebrity around the emperor, and his appeal was quite terrifying, and many scholars with opportunistic ideas moved closer to Zhang Zhang.
Yang Shen saw that Zhu Hao's face was lukewarm, and said: "Respectfully, I know that you want to get out of the matter, but this matter is related to the imperial court system, if you still want to be an official in the court in the future, you should understand that these people who cause trouble in the court cannot stay, if they control the government in the future, you and my generation will be useless, and the Ming Dynasty will also decline."
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Brother Xiu, your words are a bit alarmist·····
Yang Shen's face was solemn: "I'm telling the truth, now it's up to me to come forward, or the people in the Hanlin Academy, and the people of those societies really can't get together, and if you are not careful, there will be conflicts, and you can't figure out the composition of their personnel, so I want to ask you to join Zisheng and find out the truth."
Xu Jie was stunned: "Go with you below?"
Zhu Hao squinted at Xu Jie.
You're not stupid enough to not know that Yang Yongxiu is the kind of guy who likes to take advantage of people, right? Why else did he tell you? Do you think you can stand by and watch?
Zhu Hao said, "Then I'll go and see, and inform you of any news in time." But I won't make a suggestion on how to deal with it, let alone get involved."
"Hmm."
Yang Shen was not reluctant, he already had a relatively complete plan, and only let Zhu Hao as a sentry to observe the situation of the people in the society who were related to Zhang Xuan.
.........*++
Before the banquet was over, Yang Shen said goodbye and left, leaving only Xu Jie and Zhu Hao.
Xu Jie's face was apologetic: "I didn't know that Yang Shi said that he wanted us to do something. But I don't know what he wants to do, and even if I know that those people in the society have different views, it won't help if I wait."
Zhu Hao said: "Yong Xiu is such a person, he has a strong purpose in doing things, you don't go out with him once or twice, you should have understood." "Huh."
Xu Jie scratched his head embarrassedly.
To say that Xu Jie's political sensitivity is still not high, even if he went to Yongping Mansion with Yang Shen to investigate the case before, he doesn't have much memory, this is a mistake often made by newcomers in officialdom, and he can't be wise enough to eat a trench.
Xu Jie said, "Then what did he let us do?"
Zhu Hao shook his head and sighed softly: "There are scholars in the Jingshi, who violate the rules of etiquette and law, in Yang Yongxiu's view, these people want to cut off their own future, and the only way he can think of to deal with it is nothing more than to cut off the way for these people to enter the imperial examination, and play a role in alerting the world."
"Uh······"
Xu Jie pondered for a moment, "What does this have to do with us going to inquire about the truth and reality?"
Zhu Hao smiled, "It's okay? Everyone is punished, is there a big fight? It's also cumbersome to operate······ It's better to find out who is the leader, and make an example of it, isn't it much simpler and more effective?"
Xu Jie suddenly realized: "What Yang Shi said is that let's find out who is the leader, then he······ Why don't you tell us so much?"
Zhu Hao said: "I don't know exactly what he wants to do, but I just try to analyze it, he has always been like this, half of what he says is hidden, half of it is in the clouds, and it will be very tiring to interact with him, otherwise why can I avoid it now?"
"Then I······ It looks like it's time to keep a distance from Yongxiu." Xu Jie seems to have learned wisely.
It is not a good thing to have a good relationship with Yang Shen, Zhu Hao used to be Yang Shen's close comrade-in-arms, and now he has to make a clear relationship with him, but Yang Shen still comes to Zhu Hao to do things with a dead face, Xu Jie can also feel that he is good friends with Yang Shen, and he can't bring him vital benefits, so it is better to hide away.
......
Xu Jie thought that Zhu Hao would immediately take him to the school club to contact students with new ideas, and he didn't want Zhu Hao to just make an appointment with him and say that he would go back.
After Zhu Hao said goodbye to Xu Jie, he immediately went to meet the founder of the Beijing Society, Zhang Xuan himself.
Zhang Xuan was a little flattered when he learned that Zhu Hao wanted to see him, after all, after he returned to Beijing this time, he couldn't see anyone who actually had the right to speak in the imperial party, and Zhu Hao as his "Bole", no matter how envious and jealous he was of Zhu Hao in his heart, at least for a short time, he wanted to take the throne and had to rely on Zhu Hao's secret help.
.····· Brother Bingyong, the recent disturbance you have made in the capital is a bit big, and a bunch of scholars in the capital have gathered to talk about the court, even if it is helpful to the Great Rites Discussion, but such a big movement will still be counterattacked by the orthodox civil forces in the DPRK, which is not a good thing."
Zhu Hao first set a tone for Zhang Xuan. You're in a hurry.
Zhang Xuan hurriedly explained: "I am also bent on doing the emperor's mission, and Your Majesty is worried about the ceremony, how can you be a courtier and do nothing? He found that the voice of the DPRK and China in the past was too weak, so he wanted to use his meager influence in the ceremony to mobilize more people and create some noise in the DPRK."
Zhu Hao said: "It's good to have this heart, but you have to pay attention to doing things step by step, and this kind of strong voice is more to give the opponent a chance to counterattack.
"Do you know what Yang Yongxiu is looking for? He asked me to find out who were the people with whom you were to discuss the ceremony, some officials of low status in the court, and some of the scholars who did not yet have fame but had a certain leadership temperament······ Guess what he's going to do when he finds out these people?"
Zhang Xuan's face was cautious: "Even if they are suppressed for a while now, these people can still become the pillars of Kuang Fu Sheji in the future." Zhu Hao heard this
I couldn't help but be surprised.
Are you an idealist, or are you really stupid? Why are you so clear?
If you follow you, you will be able to become a talent in Kuangfu in the future? Who do you think you are?
Even if you really think that these people can help you, you say this directly in front of me, are you not taking me Zhu Jingdao seriously? Or do you think that I am also your pawn?
Zhang Xuan may also realize that what he said revealed was too astonishing, and hurriedly remedied: "Mr. Zhu, there are indeed capable people among these people, and I will introduce them to you in the next meeting."
Zhu Hao waved his hand and said, "No need, in extraordinary times, people who make extraordinary voices in extraordinary things are often not reusable, their purpose is too clear, utilitarian is heavy, and it is difficult to achieve great things. I would also like to advise Bingyong here that the key to the success or failure of the ritual is not how many people support it, so there is no need to do that useless work."
Zhang Xuan asked puzzledly, "Shouldn't we win more people's support?"
Zhu Hao saw that Zhang Xuan's opinion was quite big, but it was right to think about it, this person was an opinion leader himself, so it was understandable that he couldn't listen to the advice.
Zhu Hao said: "No matter how many people support you, will the mainstream public opinion in the DPRK and China give you the slightest tilt? From the cabinet to the Ministry of Rites, to the various yamen of the DPRK and China, is there an orthodox civil official who will give you even the slightest support?"
"This ······" Zhang Xuan was speechless.
"Since you don't have this kind of support, you let the officials of Weimo, as well as the scholars who have not yet achieved fame, follow your opinion, are you helping them or harming them? In the future, when the ceremony is discussed, you expect them to fight with the orthodox civil officials again?"
Zhu Hao's tone was no longer discussing with Zhang Xuan, but more of a wake-up call and lesson to Zhang Xuan. "Yes, yes, it's not thoughtful."
Zhang Xuan didn't have the confidence to confront Zhu Hao head-on, so he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Zhu Hao said, "If you have time, go and talk to Master Huang about the ceremony, he can help you······ His entry into the cabinet is just around the corner, and the position of Master of the Council may fall to you, so you should make good use of the opportunity and do not make any extraneous trouble."
