Chapter 979: Dignity and Order
In Zhu Hao's opinion, Zhu Si could stay in the palace, because it was the emperor's base camp. Why are you out of the palace?
It is better for a decree to be issued from the palace than from the outside to the inside. When Zhang Zuo heard Zhu Hao's words, he smiled slightly bitterly: "Your Majesty insists on leaving the palace, just let our family come out and inform Mr. Zhu, and Your Majesty will arrive later."
Zhu Hao squinted.
Zhu Si is very brave now, in the case of the possibility of major changes in the capital at any time, walking out of the palace gate can be regarded as an adventure, especially when Zuo Shun Gate is blocked by scholars, now the entire palace should be in the spotlight of the world, maybe someone is still secretly staring at the palace gate......
Either Zhu Si's courage is really commendable, or his nerves are a little big.
It may also be a lack of security, and you have to go out of the palace to find some sustenance and comfort.
Zhu Hao nodded: "Then protect Your Majesty's safety, and don't let Xiaoxiao take advantage of it."
"Yes, yes." Zhang Zuo gave up his hand to take the order.
This respectful attitude made Zhu Hao very embarrassed.
How honorable is your status as a eunuch who is the master of ceremonies and the seal of the eunuch? We are discussing, not superior-superior, and you don't need to obey my orders.
Zhang Zuo didn't go back to the palace, but just sent someone back to tell Zhu Si that Zhu Hao felt that it was no big problem for the saint to drive out of the palace.
Zhang Zuo went to the flower hall of Sixian Ju to wait first, probably he was tired himself.
Tang Yin said, "Is there really a small night? If so, who would it be?" Zhu Hao spread his hands: "It can't be me, right?"
"Seriously, this is where you talk casually?" Tang Yin kept a straight face and blamed Zhu Hao for being open-mouthed. Zhu Hao smiled and didn't take it too seriously.
If he has to be a courtier who avoids everything, then he is not far from being suspicious of the emperor, since he chooses to be friends with Zhu Si, friends should sometimes say something clearly...... It's still a lie a lot of the time, but it also has to sound like it's true.
Then you need to be a little bit of speaking skill and maintain a style of outspokenness.
And Zhu Hao is not wrong...... The solid person who really made Zhu Si repeatedly in danger was him.
But in the end, it was he who saved Zhu Si. The two phases are cancelled out.
Soon, Zhang Xuan appeared in Sixianju with Gui Cao, and after getting Zhang Zuo's message, Zhang Xuan was already very familiar with the road to Sixianju, and was invited to the courtyard after arriving, but he didn't even prepare a room for them.
"Bingyong, why are you here? Where is this?" Not long after Gui Cao arrived in the capital, he didn't know that the emperor had such a secret stronghold outside the palace, let alone what he did here.
Zhang Xuan's face was tense all the time, and he raised his hand to interrupt Gui Cao's chattering question, and said in a low voice, "Wait for someone to come out to receive you, don't be impatient."
After waiting for a long time, I waited for Zhang Zuo.
Gui Cao was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I have seen Zhang Gong."
Because Zhang Zuo's status is too high, so that Gui Cao didn't dare to call Zhang Zuo "father-in-law" casually, and directly omitted a word, which sounded more respectful to Zhang Zuo.
Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Both of them are ministers of the Ming Dynasty, why bother to see outside? I don't know how many others ......."
Zhang Xuan said, "The person who delivered the news has gone, and it is estimated that he will arrive soon." "Hmm."
Zhang Zuo smiled and made a "please" gesture and said, "Come here." Then Gui Cao followed behind Zhang Zuo and Zhang Xuan with great uneasiness, his heart was full of questions, but he didn't dare to ask any more casual questions, so he came to the ——— conference hall where the core of Sixian Residence was located.
In the conference hall, Zhu Hao and Tang Yin have been waiting for a long time. "Brother Bingyong?" Zhu Hao greeted with a smile.
Gui Cao was very surprised to see that Zhu Hao and Tang Yin were also there, he only had a one-sided relationship with Zhu Hao, and he was not even sure who this young man in regular clothes was, but Tang Yin he knew, so he hurriedly went up to salute.
Zhang Zuo said, "Several, wait here first, and Your Majesty will arrive later." "This ......" Gui Cao was even more surprised.
Now that a big incident is happening in Zuo Shunmen, Tang Yin and Zhu Hao, the two teachers and students, appeared at the meeting place with them, it is easy to understand, it may be that the emperor wants them to get together to discuss countermeasures, but if the emperor comes in person...... The meaning is different
General.
Gui Cao wants to make a fortune, but he is only a Hanlin attendant at present, and it seems that he is still quite far away from success, so he naturally wants to see the emperor a few more times.
Zhang Zuo didn't say anything, and took the lead in sitting down. The rest of the people were also sitting.
Zhang Xuan wanted to step forward and ask Zhu Hao what the next countermeasure was, but seeing such a pattern, no one wanted to explain to him, so he could only wait first.
After waiting for a long time, he waited for Fang Xianfu and Huo Tao first. Both were equally confused.
However, seeing that in this room, except for Zhu Hao, who is not strictly a member of the Rite faction, the rest of the people are the core of the Rite faction, and they all don't say anything, they all feel that they can see the situation clearly, that is, the emperor summoned them to discuss countermeasures...... I don't know at all, this countermeasure doesn't need to be discussed by them at all, because someone present can make a decision.
Before the arrival of the emperor, the last to arrive was the Book of Rites. Although Xi Shu is currently the second person in the Yili faction after Huang Zhan, and his status is more respectable, he didn't know about Zhu Hao's existence, and after he arrived, he still frowned when several people went over to see him.
Obviously, Xi Shu doesn't like this kind of private gathering occasion, in his opinion, even if there is a matter of etiquette to discuss, or if he wants to come up with a countermeasure, he should not hold this kind of small meeting, which is to put the court system aside!
"I've seen Xi Butang."
After Gui Cao saw Xi Shu, he was the most enthusiastic, but the big man in front of him who was already a Shangshu-level man who was rare for him to get close to, he needed to seize the opportunity.
"Everyone, be patient."
Zhang Zuo still said the same thing, "Your Majesty will arrive later." Fang Xianfu didn't take a seat, and asked, "I don't know what is the matter with inviting me to wait?" It should be said in advance, if His Majesty is there in person...... It's out of place right now. We can also report it to Your Majesty after we have discussed the results."
Zhang Zuo shook his head helplessly, meaning that there were some things that were not convenient to say.
Zhang Xuan interjected: "I wonder if Elder Huang Ge will come?" Most of the people present didn't know what to do, they didn't know what today's gathering was for, and they thought that they were here to discuss countermeasures, only Zhang Xuan knew, this matter was not simple at the moment, since Zhu Hao appeared here, why did the emperor need to ask them for advice? From the beginning, wasn't the big gift discussion all about Zhu Hao behind the scenes?
Zhang Xuan asked about Huang Zan because now he wanted to unite Huang Zan to suppress the influence of Tang Yin and Zhu Hao, the two masters and apprentices, on the emperor's side.
This is a head-on confrontation between the Yili faction and the old forces of Xingwangfu. If Huang Zan is not there, Zhang Xuan feels that if he only relies on Xi Shu, he may not even have the qualifications to argue with Tang Yin, let alone Zhu Hao, who has always been mysterious.
Zhang Xuan only knew that Zhu Hao was very important in the Great Rites Discussion, but he also knew nothing about how much Zhu Hao had done for the emperor.
Zhang Zuo said: "Your Majesty did not let you go to inform Elder Huang Ge, now that something has happened at the palace gate, it is estimated that the cabinet will also do some discussions."
This means that when it is not an ordinary time, there is no need to trouble Huang Zhan, and as the old man of Huang Zhan Pavilion, it is inconvenient to appear here.
After all, Zhu Si came out of the inner courtyard of the palace, and no one could urge the emperor, so a few people waited with peace of mind.
The emperor didn't come, and some topics were not easy to develop casually, even if Xi Shu stood up several times to put forward opinions, he was prevaricated by Zhang Zuo with a smile.
Finally, Zhu Si appeared in Sixian's residence. All the people came forward to salute.
Xi Shuben wanted to follow Zhang Zuo and go over to salute the emperor. This is considered a courtesy of respect and humility, but Zhang Zuo did not move forward, but looked back at Tang Yin and Zhu Hao, at this time it was necessary to rank, Zhang Zuo asked himself if he dared to walk in front of Zhu Hao, Tang Yin also knew each other, and let Zhu Hao walk in front of him.
Then Zhu Hao strode towards the door under the surprised eyes of everyone, and after he passed by Zhang Zuo, Zhang Zuo deliberately pressed back, parallel to Tang Yin, followed by Xi Shu and Zhang Xuan.
Witnessing this strange phenomenon, Xi Shu felt extremely awkward. Although it may not be necessary to queue up to go out to greet the holy car, I saw Zhu Hao so unrecognizable...... He could only wonder how the young man in front of him got admitted to the top prize?
Even if you are now the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, or even the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, you are not as good as you in terms of status
O Hanlin Bachelor! Not to mention the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and me, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
"See Your Majesty!"
After all, it happened too suddenly, and Xi Shu didn't have time to teach Zhu Hao a lesson, mainly because Zhang Zuo deliberately stopped and waited for Zhu Hao.
When Zhu Si came in and saw a room full of people, his heart suddenly calmed down, and he smiled, "Are all of you here? If you are flat, you don't have to be formal outside the palace...... Is this place okay?"
The emperor speaks easy-going, making people feel like a spring breeze, and it seems that he is not the ninety-five lord who sits in the world, but more like a half-grown boy next door.
"Your Majesty......"
Xi Shu was about to step forward to persuade the emperor to return to the palace, and by the way, he also indicated that it was not appropriate to hold a small meeting in private.
And Zhu Si's eyes were not on Xi Shu, after all, in Zhu Si's eyes, Xi Shu was just a book of rites recommended by Zhu Hao, at this critical time, why did I need to ask your opinion?
"Respectfully, Mr. Tang......"
Zhu Si's eyes looked directly at Zhu Hao, and he just said hello to Tang Yin perfunctorily.
Because the emperor's title to Zhu Hao was before Tang Yin, the people around him were at a loss.
"At present, Zuo Shunmen has gathered a large number of people, mainly the officials of the Six Departments and the Hanlin Academy, plus the courtiers of the Six Ministries and the Yamen of the various temples, are making trouble there, I have been very restrained, and I almost sent someone to get someone before, and I was about to ask your opinion." Zhu Sidao.
Your opinion? Why not you? Who are you?
Xi Shu and Gui Cao and the others first looked at Zhang Zuo, Zhang Zuo knew each other very well, and stood aside to listen, and then looked at Tang Yin, who was just standing there, smiling and looking at a pair of teenagers talking, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves.
Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty still has to be patient for a while, everything has to wait for the afternoon, as for how to deal with it, the minister is not good to make suggestions casually. It's a royal affair."
When Zhu Hao spoke, several people around him who didn't know Zhu Hao's identity took a breath of cool air.
Zhu Si was furious: "Why do you still want me to endure it? How long will it last? They're all starting to shake the door now! If they are dissatisfied and move out of Emperor Taizu, Taizong, and Xiaozong to blackmail me, will I be coerced by them in everything I do in the future? I must let them know what will happen to me this time!"
