After Zhu Hao arrived in the capital, he spent very little time with his family, and when he came back, he basically had a meal and left.

This time, he stayed for a while longer and asked Zhu Niang about the situation at home, while on the other side, Sun Lan accompanied Aunt Li to choose fabrics, saying that it was just time to make new clothes for the New Year.

】

"Xiao Hao, after you became an official, is the outside business still doing? Every time I send silver to my home, my mother actually doesn't spend much, everything is fine here, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Although her mother can't help Zhu Hao much now, her concern for Zhu Hao is obvious.

Zhu Hao said: "I have been helping Your Majesty take care of business, and some of them are still handed over to Neiko, if you don't believe it, you can ask her." Recently, Mr. Tang has been ill, and it may not be long before he ...... Alas! After a long time, I feel that I should pay more attention to family affection. ”

"What's wrong with Mr. Tang?"

Zhu Niang is extremely grateful to Tang Yin.

In her opinion, if it weren't for Tang Yin, Zhu Hao would not have today's achievements, which is her son's "enlightenment teacher".

Zhu Hao reminded: "If my mother has time, I should also go over to visit, Mr. Tang may have to add Ding at the beginning of next year, but he may not be able to wait for that day." ”

In these years, birth, old age, sickness and death are too common.

Although Zhu Niang was sad when she heard this, she didn't show how unbearable she was, but sighed: "Good people, why don't you live long?" Judging by his age, he is not that old. Mr. Yuan too, when he first arrived in the capital, he was gone, speaking of which, you have a lot of benefactors in the palace, and you can't forget your roots. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao doesn't like to listen to the old lady's nagging.

Zhu Niang is getting older now, and she has no grandchildren to take with her, so she has nothing to do, and sometimes Zhu Hao is really unable to resist it.

"Go back and go with your mother to visit Mr. Tang, he is a good person."

The most simple evaluation is that Tang Yin is a good person, probably in Zhu Niang's eyes, there is no other more appropriate word.

……

……

came out of the house, and after sunset, although Aunt Li had asked the maid to clean up the room for Zhu Hao and his wife, Zhu Hao still insisted on taking Sun Lan back to the house.

"After the lord became a waiter, the number of visitors gradually increased, and the concubine couldn't go out many times."

Sun Lan was in the carriage and briefly explained to Zhu Hao what happened to her family recently, and it was also because the Zuo Shunmen incident was widely implicated, and there were more people who came to Zhu Hao to intercede.

However, there are still very few people in the court who know Zhu Hao's true identity.

Tang Yin and Zhu Hao are already crowded here, and it is estimated that Zhang Xuan is even more overwhelmed.

Zhu Hao said: "Don't pay attention to it, now I'm just a right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and the visitors can't see me, so I'll leave." ”

Sun Lan asked, "Isn't there room for relaxation?" From the prayer note handed in, the concubine saw that many people were scolded with a rod, and they still came once every ten days...... The concubine asked the sister of the Lou family, and she said that this was a major matter in the court, and women should not ask. ”

I shouldn't have asked!

Lou Suzhen is right about this, but women are gossipy at any time, if Sun Lan still doesn't care about this kind of thing involving Zhu Hao, it will seem to be lacking in heart.

Sun Lan is very good-looking, the thoughts of women who have read books are different from ordinary women in the market, Sun Lan actually wants to know what substantive impact this will have on Zhu Hao's future life.

Zhu Hao said: "If I say that I caused all this, will you accept it?" ”

Sun Lan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It was His Majesty's insistence, how could it be caused by Xianggong alone?" ”

"Alas!"

Zhu Hao sighed, "Actually, it's almost the same, what Your Majesty thinks, what you have to do as a courtier, I grew up with Your Majesty since childhood, and I have experienced too many things, and it is actually okay to help Your Majesty consolidate the throne in this way." I also tried to save some people, but to no avail, this is not only the result of the long-accumulated conflict between the monarch and the minister, but a huge conflict of ideas, a power struggle, and there is no way to reconcile it. ”

Sun Lan smiled and comforted: "Xianggong doesn't have to blame himself, since it is a dispute in the court, many things cannot be changed by manpower." It is better for the husband to act as a witness than to passively bear the change. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao thought about it, Sun Lan was quite insightful.

When he returned to Daming, although many things had changed, some major events involving the background of the times, such as Zhu Houzhao's death after drowning, the Great Rites Discussion and even the Zuo Shunmen incident, Zhu Hao did not forcibly intervene, even if he did not agree with some results on the right track of history, he was still unwilling to make changes.

It is just because, as Sun Lan said, he sometimes wants to be a witness, rather than blindly changing and causing greater chaos in history.

……

……

It was the night of the couple's parting again, Zhu Hao left home and went directly to Sixianju.

There are still a large number of recitals waiting for him to review, and now except for Zhang Zuo who occasionally comes to help, the rest of the time it is Zhu Hao who is Zhu Hao alone, and Tang Yin will never come again.

A lot of things were summarized and written off a year ago, the huge military expenditure in the northwest, and the gradual increase in the expenses of the household department after Sun Jiao left......

Sun Jiao can't do anything else, but saving money is really a good hand, and in the past two months, Zhu Si has reached out to the household department many times, and transferred 300,000 taels of silver from the household department to repair the Xingwang Mansion and the imperial palace.

When Yang Tinghe was in the court, the first thing he thought of was to limit the emperor's financial resources, let the emperor live a tight life, and cut off his evil thoughts.

This is the choice Yang Tinghe made after summarizing the gains and losses of the Zhengde dynasty.

At that time, it was all up to Zhu Hao to make money to alleviate everything.

With the advancement of railway construction and shipbuilding, the wealth that Zhu Hao could provide to the palace has not been substantially expanded, but in fact, it has not been broken, and it has increased, but even this cannot satisfy Zhu Si's appetite.

Zhu Si realized the supremacy of imperial power, and he wanted to control the wealth of the world.

When the emperor asks for expenses for the ceremony, after all, he has to repair the ancestral hall for his father, as well as the rewards of the queen and concubines, and a very important point as an emperor...... Maintaining daily decency, etc., is based on having an adequate supply of money.

Even the procurement and purchase of various places in Jiangnan have also increased investment, which is also to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

"Mr. Zhu, are you still there?"

Zhu Hao was bored and read the music alone, and Wang Zuo appeared at the door, but he didn't go inside.

Zhu Hao raised his head and asked, "Commander Wang, is there something wrong?" ”

Wang Zuo came in at this time, hugged his fists and said: "There is a message from Dongchang, saying that some people will be sent out of Beijing tomorrow according to the holy decree, and Gonggong Huang will let the lowly post hand over the list to you to see if you have any opinions." ”

Zhu Hao said: "This kind of thing, just report to Your Majesty, I already know the specific situation." ”

After the second cane execution, the emperor also knew that if this continued, more people would be killed...... The second time four people were killed, a total of five were killed, which is actually much better than the death of seventeen people in history, but there is still the blood eucalyptus that should be there, and history will still record this brutal scene.

Of course, there are currently five dead, and in the next few days, it is difficult to say whether there will be more people dying from their injuries.

Wang Zuo walked to Zhu Hao's side and whispered: "That Hanlin Academy attendant said that Master Yang is going to be assigned to Yunnan Yongchangwei, and he will take the flail on the road early tomorrow morning. ”

Yang Shen......

Zhu Hao didn't want to see him, he had nothing to say to Yang Shen.

Zhu Hao once helped Yang Shen, hoping that through the improvement of Yang Shen's status, his mentality would be corrected and he would no longer become the leader of the Great Rites Discussion, but it seems that he committed the kind of taboo that Liu Chun said...... Knowing that once something like the minister's direct advice appeared, Yang Shen, who had inherited Yang Ting and the mantle, would not be able to run away, so why would he have to fight for nothing?

Besides, people like Yang Shen are not worth his help.

If it is just because of pity for his talent, there are more talented people in this world, and it will not be said that he will change the direction of history for the sake of a Yang Shen.

"It depends."

Zhu Hao didn't decide whether to meet or not.

He suddenly thought of a person, and said to Wang Zuo: "Trouble the king to command the envoy to help me bring someone, I want to talk to him tonight." ”

……

……

The person Zhu Hao wants to meet is also Xu Jie, who has left a strong mark in history.

It's just that in terms of time development, that is a matter of the future, and with the appearance of Zhu Hao, whether Xu Jie can become the minister of the Ming Dynasty as in history, or even the key figure to set things right, has become an uncertain factor.

With Zhu Hao here, it will limit the rise of some figures in history.

For example, now that Zhu Hao is already targeting Xia Yan, he will deal with Yan Song in the next step.

When some people rise, they are bound to become Zhu Hao's strong opponents, so Zhu Hao will strangle them in the cradle...... But against Xu Jie, Zhu Hao can't be ruthless, or in other words, in Zhu Hao's eyes, Xu Jie is not an enemy.

Although Zhu Hao also knows that Xu Jie's "setting things right" in the future may also be aimed at him Zhu Hao.

"Salute...... No, you should be called Mr. Zhu, where is this? ”

Xu Jie walked into the conference hall, and everything here made him feel very fresh.

Recently, there was an incident where Xu Jie was promoted to revision, but even he didn't know how he got promoted, after all, Xu Jie's first entrance examination was less than a year ago.

Other editors may not be promoted in three years, and there are also those who have been in six or nine years, and most of them have not yet been promoted to become officials in the sixth department or locality, while he has risen steadily and has become the best among the same group of jinshi.

In this Great Rites Discussion incident, Xu Jie did not participate in it.

"Sit down."

Zhu Hao had already put away everything at this time, and just wanted to talk to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie's expression was calm after sitting down, the recent incident in Zuo Shunmen had not had a big impact on him, and he would not care about the situation of the group of people who were still in the edict prison...... Or rather, it was something he wanted to know but didn't dare to know.

Xu Jie became cautious.

Zhu Hao said: "Yongxiu will be assigned to Yunnan Yongchangwei tomorrow, you and I will go together to give him a meal." ”

"How so?"

Xu Jie was dumbfounded, extremely stunned.

Yang Shen, as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, was envied by too many people, but he fell to the dust in a blink of an eye, and Xu Jie certainly knew that this was the result of brutal political suppression.

Zhu Hao shook his head and said: "Don't be too surprised, his life should be like this, we just went to see him off in the righteousness of friends, and it is useless to say too much off-topic." ”
