Chapter 957: Cultivating Opponents

After listening to the scene described by Zhu Hao, Tang Yin suddenly fell silent. Even Su Xigui on the side could see it, and Tang Yin was obviously tempted, because what Zhu Hao said was not too attractive for a person who was rolling in Vanity Fair.

Zhu Hao belongs to the "right medicine".

You Tang Yin don't like to mix officialdom, but you always like fame, fortune and status, right? If you are given a status, you don't need to be in the officialdom, you don't need to mediate with the ministers of the DPRK and China, just hang up the name of a commissioner, and be an idler like now, can you refuse?

"Sir, it is estimated that the court meeting in the palace has come to an end now, don't blame me for not greeting you in advance, in fact, arranging for you to be this Hanlin Bachelor, things may not be possible, even if you really do, if you are not happy, go back and ask Your Majesty to resign, Your Majesty will still allow it." Zhu Hao spoke to Tang Yin in the posture of a superior person. In other words, if someone else said this to Tang Yin, Tang Yin had to leave with his sleeves up. Don't I have a faceless Tang genius who is unique in poetry and painting? But if Zhu Hao said this, Tang Yin has long been used to it, it seems that the relationship between master and apprentice has always been the mode of gags and mutual burial, anyway, the more embarrassing things have been seen by Zhu Hao, and it is not too much to sincerely pursue fame and fortune, right?

Tang Yin said with emotion: "Jingdao, no wonder you can even persuade Yang Yongxiu, it seems that you know more about this officialdom than others...... Alas! 「

In this way, it is tantamount to saying that Tang Yin admitted that he was indeed seen through by Zhu Hao.

A Hanlin bachelor who didn't need to sit in class was an almost irresistible temptation for him.

Zhu Hao sighed: "Sir, don't have too much hope, just like Bachelor Huang is now also fighting for admission to the cabinet in the palace, the pressure exerted by Wenchen on Your Majesty is too great, this is a game between monarchs and ministers, and the exchange of interests, Your Majesty has gained today, and will inevitably lose!"

This day ended in the standoff between the monarch and the minister.

As Zhu Hao judged, both sides have their own gains and losses. On the emperor's side, the topic of the Great Rites Discussion has still not been finally confirmed. Even Zhu Si himself knew that he could not get any results by consulting with the minister, and if he wanted to pass smoothly, he had to unilaterally announce this way, and now Jiang Mian has not yet made a statement, and the main forces of the civil officials have still not suffered great losses, so this time it seems that he is fighting for the Great Rites Discussion, but the real purpose is to carry out a major purge of the civilian faction.

On the one hand, the emperor maintained that it was inevitable to discuss the great gifts, but on the other hand, he made a retreat at a critical time, and then let the court replace it with more "his own people". On the side of the civil officials, Mao Ji Zhishi, and in the end they had to agree to let Huang Zan enter the cabinet, Huang Zan with the title of scholar of the East Pavilion University and the Ministry of Households, became the fourth cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty, and after entering the cabinet, he was mainly responsible for the docking of the cabinet and the Ministry of Households, Jingcang, etc., and the draft of the vote was mainly based on formulating the countermeasures of the Ministry of Households.

Another change is that Tang Yin was promoted from a little-known Hanlin review to a bachelor of Hanlin.

This matter looks very evil, Tang Yin's promotion is unprecedentedly huge, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth, but the resistance encountered in this matter is much less than that of Huang Zan entering the cabinet.

This may not even be expected by Zhu Si himself.

Although Tang Yin was only a Hanlin review, he had previously served as the governor of Xuanda and the military affairs of the Inner Three Passes, and almost made it to the six servants, plus Tang Yin was born in Xingwangfu, although he was not the chief of Xingwangfu, but because of the death of Zhang Jingming and Yuan Zonggao, the two long histories of Xingwangfu, Tang Yin became the benchmark figure of Xingwangfu in the court.

is also because Tang Yin has an easy-going personality......

This has been verified by time, and the civil official clique has found that it is much easier to control Tang Yin than to control Huang Zhan, Zhang Bangqi, Zhang Xuan and others. Let Tang Yin be the Hanlin bachelor who is in charge of the ceremony, just like no one will be the one, and many people even gladly accept Tang Yin's position.

It's the same as saying......

Tang Yin was not forced to go up, but was "supported" by everyone.

The news reached the theater.

Su Xigui was so excited that he almost knelt down on the spot.

Huang Chan has been planning for so long, and finally got his wish to enter the cabinet, Su Xigui, as a political broker, has completed a "miracle" behind the scenes, pushing Huang Chan to the highest position that a civil official can obtain, Su Xigui can not only get the feedback brought by Huang Zhan, but also "retreat" as he wishes, from now on he no longer has to remember how to help Huang Zhan do things, he can concentrate on Zhu Hao.

In addition, what made Su Xigui excited was that this matter was completely planned by Zhu Hao, and even Zhu Hao seemed to believe that Tang Yin would be a bachelor of Hanlin as scheduled.

Su Xigui said that he witnessed this incident with the real power person who was second only to the emperor in the court.

Thinking that he would be able to get a tree with deeper roots and more leaves than Huang Zan in the future, he became more and more excited.

"Mr. Tang, what do you say? Do you accept or reject?" Zhu Hao ignored Su Xigui, who was getting carried away with excitement on the side, and asked Tang Yin with a smile.

Tang Yin's face was embarrassed.

If you want to say that you are happy, you are very happy, when you come to the appointment, you are just a Hanlin reviewer who has no real power at all, and now you are a Hanlin bachelor?

The difference between the two extremes of the Hanlin Academy. "How did you get Your Majesty to convince the minister?" Tang Yin asked rhetorically first. Zhu Hao shrugged his shoulders and said that he had nothing to say.

Su Xigui only remembered at this time that he wanted to talk to Tang Yin, because he found that even if Huang Chan entered the cabinet as he wished, he would retire in about half a year, and the longest might not be more than a year, because Huang Zan was just a transition, and Tang Yin was the "upstart", if Tang Yin was allowed to enter the cabinet...... Isn't that a three-five-seven year?

"Tang Hanlin...... Ah no, I should call you Mr. Tang, the contemptible person has given you a salute, congratulations. "Su Xigui has a smile like a flower, but he is as unlikable as a dog's tail flower.

Zhu Hao said, "Sir, you are all a bachelor of Hanlin, today and tomorrow, you should go to Hanlin Academy and handle the handover matters."

Tang Yin asked nervously, "Are you sure that in the future, I won't have to go to the Hanlin Academy every day to deal with affairs, and I will still be as free as today, right?"

Zhu Hao smiled, "Look at what you asked...... Let's put it this way, even if you want to go every day, the people of the Hanlin Academy will not welcome you, even if you don't show up in front of them for a year, not only will they not blame you for neglecting government affairs, but they will gladly feel that you have maintained the Ming Dynasty and are rare good officials, I don't know if you believe it or not?"

"This ......"

When Tang Yin heard this, he was immediately a little discouraged. Feelings that they have no sense of existence in the court? But think about it.

The emperor's increase in the position of the scholar of the Hanlin Academy has already encountered a lot of criticism from the court and the central government, and Huang Zhan, as an orthodox civil official, is looked down upon every day when he goes to the Hanlin Academy.

Now that he has changed Tang Yin to do this thankless errand, others naturally expect him to not contribute...... In this way, it is equivalent to minimizing the influence of the emperor's council on the Hanlin Academy.

"I'll go back tomorrow, I'll go back to the house first." Tang Yin is excited.

Now that he has been decided, he has to go home and wait for the edict and official documents to be delivered.

Zhu Hao said, "Sir, you can't leave yet, you have to go with me to meet someone in a while."

This time, even Su Xigui was interested, and looked at Zhu Hao curiously with Tang Yin, wondering who it was.

Zhu Hao didn't hide it: "It should be that Zhang Hanlin." "You mean...... Zhang Bingyong?" Tang Yin's thoughts instantly became clear and lively.

Zhu Hao said earlier that if it weren't for him Tang Yin, it would be Zhang Xuan who would be the most popular candidate for Hanlin Bachelor, and Zhang Xuan was busy with the great ceremony, and he did not hesitate to offend the Manchu Dynasty and the ministers, running around the local and northern and southern capitals, contacting so many people, just to soar one day.

But now that the Great Rites Discussion has achieved preliminary results, and the emperor's purge of the court has been revealed, but the vacant position of the Scholar of the Great Rites has still not fallen on his head, can he balance his heart?

The problem is still Tang Bao, a scattered person who has always been out of the way, or the problem of the last Zhou, a scattered person who has always withdrawn from the competition, and stole the fruits of victory.

From Zhang Xuan's point of view, in addition to being the emperor's cronies, what other skills do you have Tang Yin?

What have you done in the Great Rites Debate? Every time I see you, I look like I'm going to die, and now when I grab the results, you jump out again?

Tang Yin thought for a while, and wondered, "I still don't see him, I'm afraid of him...... Alas!"

Zhu Hao said: "If you don't see it, his prejudice against you will be even deeper, you know, he still needs to contribute to the Great Rites Discussion, otherwise I expect you to go to the people and communicate with the scholars

Do you want to contact the ministers inside and outside the court to support the matter of the ceremony?"

Su Xigui next to him asked tentatively, "This Zhang Hanlin is now a Hanlin attendant, and he has only been in the court for a few years?" Still not satisfied? 「

Perhaps in Su Xigui's view, Zhang Xuan has become one of the core forces around the new emperor in just a few years after entering the dynasty, and has obtained a position that others want but can't get, how can he still lack people's hearts?

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Master Su, Master Huang, you should also go and congratulate you, why don't you go first, and I'll talk to Mr. Tang again?"

"Okay, okay." Su Xigui is very knowledgeable.

Seeing Zhu Hao's influence, he felt that it was worth waiting for today, how could he not leave a disturbance without knowing each other now?

"Then we'll talk later." Zhu Hao said. "Okay."

After Su Xigui saluted respectfully, he said goodbye to Tang Yin before leaving the theater.

In the private room of the theater, only Zhu Hao and Tang Yin were left. At this time, the smile on Zhu Hao's face had faded.

"Mr. Tang, let me make it clear, I just used you to suppress Zhang Bingyong, making him indignant and resentful from the bottom of my heart."

Zhu Hao was blunt.

Tang Yin asked in surprise, "What? Are you jealous of him?" Zhu Hao shook his head: "Not only am I not jealous, on the contrary, in the future, I will secretly promote and cultivate him, so that he can become a vital force that can compete with me...... Once he has hatred for me, he will try his best to drive a wedge between me and Zhu Si's monarchy."

Tang Yin sighed, "Why are you doing this?"

Zhu Hao said, "Sir, didn't you say it before? I am in the court, if it really becomes a situation where I am alone and covers the sky with one hand, I will not be far from the rebellious ministers and thieves...... If I don't cultivate an opponent for myself, how can I make Your Majesty feel at ease with me?"
