Zhu Hao asked for the second time to push off the appointment of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but Zhu Si unceremoniously refused again.

The emperor's attitude was that this position was none other than Zhu Hao.

Many ministers don't understand why the emperor's attitude is so resolute, and his curiosity about Zhu Hao is even greater, he has been promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and he is still a young man who is not even twenty years old, even if he accepts the appointment, he may not be able to serve as an official for how long, why do he have to push it back and forth like this?

When the meeting ended, the emperor walked away in a huff as if he were angry.

Later, when the minister left the palace, he heard that the emperor had sent someone to summon Tang Yin and Zhu Hao into the palace, probably to find trouble for Zhu Hao because he had been refusing to take up the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Such an action made the ministers of the DPRK and China more sure that Tang Yin and Zhu Hao were one, which was enough to show that Zhu Hao was promoted to be the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, which was completely Tang Yin's meaning. Inside the Qianqing Palace.

After Zhu Hao and Tang Yin arrived, the treatment was quite good, the chairs had been set up in advance, and no one was allowed to approach, Zhu Si asked the two to sit down opposite the coffee table, taste tea with him, and then show off the good things he got after becoming the emperor.

「…… It's all tribute, in fact, I don't know what's good about this tea, and it tastes like that, so the milk tea I mixed for me tastes better."

Zhu Si smiled, and he didn't mean to blame Zhu Hao at all. Although in this pull, the two did not communicate in advance, but there was still a tacit understanding between friends.

Tang Yin said, "Your Majesty, how should we decide on the matter of being the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites?"

Zhu Sidao: "Mr. Tang, do you have to be so unhappy? Anyway, when it's time to come out of the way, now that even Jiang Ge Lao has retired, who else in the court can confront me head-on? On Fei Ge Lao's side, in fact, I have already sent someone to ask his opinion, and he said that it is completely feasible to respect the Tao as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites."

"Oh?"

Tang Yin couldn't help but glance at Zhu Hao, as if to say, respectfully, what do you think?

The emperor went directly to ask Fei Hong about promoting you, with Fei Hong's old woman doing a huge cunning, how can she have political sensitivity that ordinary people can reach? Will you immediately understand that you are actually the emperor's person?

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty, the minister has drafted an edict of great gifts, and Your Majesty can choose the time to announce it to the public at any time."

"Haha, I know, Jingdao you have already prepared everything, just wait for me to make a move...... Hey, take a look." Zhu Si was very excited.

said that it was a year ago to complete the Great Rite Meeting, but Zhu Si didn't want to wait for a day, he got up and bypassed the coffee table, walked to Zhu Hao in three or two steps, took the draft of the edict drafted by Zhu Hao, and said after reading it: "That's it, I will announce it directly to the outside world, and see if those people dare to disobey the holy will!"

Tang Yin said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to give your tongue a look?" Shop with the road. "Your Majesty, can you tell the staff about it?" Hmm."

Zhu Si handed it over to Tang Yin.

After Tang Yin saw it, he turned his head to look at Zhu Hao, who looked unfazed, and frowned: "Your Majesty, if such an edict is issued, I am afraid that the opposition of the DPRK and China will rise wave after wave, and then there may be an uncontrollable situation."

Zhu Si smiled and was relieved: "Mr. Tang, you are really worried...... Is there any essential difference between the part of the edict I issued earlier about the rituals and this? At that time, there were many ministers who opposed the DPRK and China, and they didn't make a fuss, so this time it was out of control? Respectfully, don't you say? 「

The emperor wanted to find recognition from Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao said solemnly, "Your Majesty, in fact, Mr. Tang's worries are not unreasonable."

"What?" Zhu Si looked puzzled.

Even Zhang Zuo, who was standing on the side, unconsciously leaned forward, wondering what serious results would be caused by issuing the edict according to Zhu Hao's manuscript.

Zhu Hao's face was serious: "Your Majesty announced the edict before, at that time, Jiang Ge Lao and others were still there, and the ministers of the court and the central government thought that Jiang Ge Lao and other old old ministers would definitely come forward to stop it, even if they couldn't stop it, the monarchs and ministers would tacitly agree to make concessions, and there was room for everything."

"Hmm."

Zhu Si nodded, he was still relatively smart, and understood the meaning of Zhu Hao's words.

Zhu Hao said, "But now Jiang Ge is old

The ministers will think that the elder Fei Ge is not resolute enough in opposing the Great Rites Discussion, especially His Majesty has left no room for error, and the middle-level and even lower-level officials in Beijing, especially those young officials who have just entered the court, are very likely to make trouble under the righteous indignation."

"Do they have to jump out and fight against me?" Zhu Si's face darkened.

He didn't quite believe that those big petty officials could make any waves. I have even overturned top ministers like Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian, and I am still afraid of those insignificant small roles?

Zhang Zuo hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, old ministers like Jiang Ge Lao and other old ministers know how to forbear, and are willing to make a turn in some things to avoid the deterioration of the relationship between monarchs and ministers, and those young officials who have just entered the court ...... It's more difficult, let's just say that Yang Yongxiu, who has been speaking for the matter of etiquette before, he ...... It's more persistent."

"Humph!"

Zhu Si snorted coldly, "Is that called persistence? That's called head iron, it's called not knowing each other! Don't look at yourself a few pounds and taels! 「

Taking Yang Shen as an example, Zhu Si understood at once. It turned out that the most difficult to deal with was not the old ministers such as Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, Qiao Yu and Wang Jun, but the young officials represented by Yang Shen.

This group of people is not afraid of heaven and earth, and if things make a big fuss, they must be the ones who take the lead.

Zhu Si looked at Zhu Hao: "Then Jingdao, how should we deal with it?" Zhu Hao said: "Since we want to determine the great gift at one time, and all the remaining steps are combined into one step, then there is no room for anything. At that time, the Chinese courtiers of the court will definitely find ways to block it, or kneel en en masse at the court meeting, or cry at the palace gate, etc., to put pressure on His Majesty."

"Then I'll blast them out!"

Zhu Si clenched his fists, his expression was hideous, and he almost gritted his teeth. Before anything happened here, the emperor was already angry, Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin didn't quite understand, would things definitely develop in the direction of Zhu Hao's calculations?

Zhu Hao said: "It is difficult to calm people's minds by coercive means to solve the problem, and it is best to use the means of division and disintegration...... The minister is going to meet Yang Yongxiu."

Zhu Si sighed: "Respectfully, this time I want you to be the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, it is estimated that Yang Yongxiu already knows that you are my person, if you go to see him again, he will definitely find you trouble."

"I see that you better not go, and don't have any dealings with him in the future! This kind of person thinks that he is very upright, but when he is given a bachelor's degree, he and his colleagues can betray him, and it is a big deal that I make his affairs public, so that all my colleagues look down on him, and he will not be able to make a fuss."

Tang Yin hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's best not to take this step unless you have to."

Tang Yin really didn't want Yang Shen to be ruined, not that Tang Yin would protect Yang Shen, but that Zhu Si would first damage his emperor's majesty by doing so.

As the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, he actually used dirty means to entrap the minister, and even broke the secret afterwards?

The emperor is rich and should not solve the problem by intrigue and trickery.

Zhu Hao looked at Tang Yin and said in his heart that Tang Bohu still has a "sense of justice" that is almost paranoid, which is to regard himself as a traditional literati.

Zhu Hao said, "Your Majesty can take this step, but only if the minister goes to talk to him first, or make another deal."

"Huh?"

Even Zhu Si didn't understand it anymore.

If you trade again, will you let Yang Shen go one step further and become a bachelor of Hanlin? Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty, please give the ministers the last two days, early the day after tomorrow, Your Majesty can issue an edict at the court meeting, today and tomorrow, the ministers will divide and disintegrate the people in the Hanlin Academy as much as possible, and reduce the crisis that may arise the day after tomorrow as much as possible."

Zhu Si naturally agreed to Zhu Hao's proposal.

Last two days...... Zhu Si had to give Zhu Hao this face, although he was reluctant in his heart.

Zhu Hao and Tang Yin went out of the palace together.

Tang Yin said: "Jingdao, you also know that those civil servants will definitely make trouble, and you still suggest like this, can't you wait and let the world be indifferent to this matter before making a salute?" At that time, even if there were opposition voices in the DPRK and China, it would not be as ...... as it is today Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the days to come will be long."

Tang Yin meant that Zhu Si was young, and before he was twenty years old, he was in a hurry to posthumously crown his father's emperor

, returning to the Xingwang Mansion, it is completely possible to spend ten years and eight years, and then carry out after the group of ministers in front of him have survived.

Why do you have to do it under so much pressure in such a hurry?

Zhu Hao didn't defend himself, and said, "Your Majesty asked me to do it, and I can only obey. Your Majesty can't afford to wait."

It's not that I want to or not, it's that I have to.

You Tang Yin said so much, and persuaded me bitterly, it is better to persuade the emperor.

"Your Majesty has always listened to you, and if you say no, even if he is reluctant, he will consider it." Tang Yin insisted on buttoning the pot to Zhu Hao's head.

Zhu Hao said, "Your Majesty is bent on this, why should I take a huge risk to persuade him to turn back?"

"You ......"

Tang Yin found out that he had fallen into Zhu Hao's logical trap. Zhu Hao said: "From the very beginning, the ceremony has involved brutal factional battles, do you think that if Jiang Ge Lao and them retreat, Your Majesty will be able to take full control of the government? Since the old and the new have never been able to commune, even if it is not because of the ceremony, it is just a trivial matter between the DPRK and China, and there should still be voices of opposition."

"The court will be in chaos because of this!"

Tang Yin didn't know what to say, "I think it's not Your Majesty's paranoia now, but that you have led Your Majesty astray!" You are more stubborn than Your Majesty."

Zhu Hao suddenly laughed, and asked Tang Yin with a smile: "Actually, the question is very simple, if you don't mess up the court, how can you and I be neutral in the court?" After ten years and eight years, we will climb up step by step?"

"Uh......" Tang Yin was speechless for a moment.

Zhu Hao continued to laugh and said, "Mr. Tang can't enjoy the fruits of my paranoia with His Majesty while saying that it is not right.

"It is precisely because of our paranoia that some seemingly unreasonable appointments can be realized, and the court-China etiquette faction has gradually gained a foundation, and His Majesty's decrees can be better conveyed to all yamen of the imperial court, as well as you and me, a Hanlin bachelor, and a right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, can also sit firmly in their positions."

"Mr. Tang, take a long-term view, it seems to be a battle of ideas at the moment, but in fact, the root of it is a struggle for power, I am helping Your Majesty consolidate the imperial power!

"How can there be a reason not to shed blood in consolidating imperial power?"
