Chapter 997: The Burglar

Zhu Hao is really thinking about Xu Jie.

Staying in the Hanlin Academy, waiting until the head of the mix, to the point of being able to be a bachelor or even enter the cabinet, it is generally fifteen years to start, and this will have to be lucky, get the appreciation of the officials, and be handpicked by the emperor to come out step by step.

If you have the ability to take this path, how will it help to change the times?

Xu Jie couldn't understand Zhu Hao's good intentions, and always felt that Zhu Hao was sabotaging his career prospects.

With Zhu Hao's current identity, what to arrange and arrange is not necessarily to discuss with anyone.

It's like arranging Xu Jie's future, even if he doesn't understand it for a while, Zhu Hao can still push forward, and after stuffing people into the position he wants, Xu Jie, even if he is unwilling to accept it in his heart, feels that he has experienced a setback...... That's not a bad thing for them, either.

How can a man achieve great things without experiencing setbacks?

In the days that followed, the court was largely calm.

The impact of the Zuo Shunmen incident gradually subsided, and the emperor made a "compromise" disposition, except for a few people who were assigned to the side, there were more than a dozen comrades who were dismissed from their posts and served as people, and the rest were basically just demoted and transferred.

Some officials were inspected by the officials and assigned to local officials, while others were retained for use on the basis of their original official posts -- officials of the fifth rank or above, a few were demoted, and most of them were only fined for half a year...... It doesn't sound like much, but after all, Ming officials don't even have a way to make money such as Bing Jing and Carbon Jing, and non-corrupt officials can only live on their money, which has a great impact on their daily lives.

……

……

On this day, the emperor summoned Zhu Hao, and originally planned to call Tang Yin into the palace.

But that day, Tang Yin's health was not good, coughing and vomiting blood after lying on the bed, the person who went to deliver the decree quickly reported after receiving the news, Emperor Jiajing specially sent the imperial doctor to treat Tang Yin, only Zhu Hao stayed in the Qianqing Palace, and even Zhang Zuo, Huang Jin and others were not allowed to enter, as if they wanted to discuss some confidential matters.

"Respectfully, I now have a firm grip on the household, and in the future, I can transfer hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, which can be used to repair trains, cannons, and the kind of new firecrackers you mentioned can also be built, and by the way, there are shipbuilding ......."

Zhu Si was very excited.

The biggest change brought about by the Zuo Shunmen incident is the manifestation of imperial power, and now Zhu Si feels that his throne is very stable.

The civil and military generals have all become vassals of the imperial power.

Zhu Hao said: "The imperial court's annual expenditure is very tight, especially for the northwest frontier defense, Your Majesty still saves a little." The minister can make up for it from somewhere else. ”

Zhu Si was a little too happy: "Now that you have money, why do you have to use the small treasury?" Isn't it good to keep your own money? ”

From this sentence, Zhu Hao felt that the little emperor still regarded himself as an "outsider", and the distinction between public and private was very clear, but you seem to have forgotten that you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it is your bounden duty to maintain the normal operation of the Ming Treasury.

Zhu Si probably also felt that his attitude was not very good, and explained: "Even if you think you can raise it yourself, but with the support of the imperial court, won't you be able to do things faster?" I tell you this to tell you that we don't have to worry about money anymore. ”

Zhu Hao was thinking again.

This is not a home, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

You think that you can take the control of Tobe and Kyokura, and then you can spend whatever you want.

But you don't know that you just get the accounts in hand, and when you know the actual situation of the household, you will probably have to worry about the normal operation of the household, or you can not care and empty the household in one go...... But the problem is, you don't just be the emperor for a few days and then go back to be the vassal king, why do you need to dig your own corner?

"Jingdao, I'll show you a few more things, they're all treasures......"

As he spoke, Zhu Si took out a few things.

It looks exquisite, like a palace treasure.

Zhu Hao said: "This should be the royal treasure stored by the imperial superintendent, why did Your Majesty take it out?" These things are not practical. ”

Zhu Si smiled and said: "I wanted to take it before, but they always advised me that it was not the time to withdraw it, but now I can use it if I want to, and sell it if I want to, because all this is mine......"

The so-called "them" are undoubtedly Zhang Zuo, Huang Jin and others.

When the little emperor ascended the throne, he thought that he was rich all over the world, and even the good things that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in the court scavenged back also planned to keep for himself, especially when he couldn't withdraw money from the household department and was short of money, he once planned to sell it for money...... But if this kind of thing is known, isn't it ridiculous and generous?

Because Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian and others have been in the court, Zhu Si is quite restrained.

Until today, there was no restraint, and Zhu Si couldn't help but want to turn everything in the palace into his own.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, you are clearly still an illegal intruder!

While trying to affirm that he is the owner of the palace, he also wants to make the things in the palace his own...... To put it bluntly, you're still not confident.

"Your Majesty, even if these things are taken out of the palace gate, no one dares to buy them." Zhu Hao smiled.

Zhu Sidao: "If you tell them that I want to sell it, there must be people who want to buy it, and even some ancient calligraphy and paintings are wanted, why will no one buy these things used by the court of the previous dynasty?" Doesn't it mean that all the people in this world are vassals and elegant? ”

Zhu Hao smiled and didn't say anything more.

Originally, I thought that Zhu Si had grown up and gradually become a qualified emperor, but now it seems that he is still like that bear.

Zhu Si put Hao Dingxi aside, and said with a smile: "Jingdao, I plan to accept a few more concubines into the palace recently, you are a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, how about leaving this matter to you?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "How does Your Majesty want to take a concubine?" ”

Zhu Si thought for a while and said, "Even if you can't go to the people to visit beauties like the previous ones, you should at least ask the ministers to recommend them, such as the celebrities and ladies of each family, make a list, and finally send them to the palace for me to choose." ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Zhu Hao said.

Zhu Si asked in surprise, "Why is this?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "If it comes to the stage of palace selection, then whether they are selected or not, they must stay in the palace, and they can only become palace maids in the end. ”

"Then how did the previous emperor take a concubine?"

Zhu Si was not very happy again.

Now that he was enjoying the feeling of being in power, he wanted to have fun with it, and at his age of flesh and blood, he was probably the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing.

Zhu Hao was also Mu Shaoai's age, but his mental age was there, so he was not too interested in it.

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty has been married so far, and there are still no heirs born, and the harem should indeed be enriched, but some things should be mentioned by the minister, rather than His Majesty himself taking the initiative to say it, so that it can be seen that His Majesty's concubine is for the inheritance of the royal family, not for his own selfish desires." ”

Zhu Sixiao asked: "You mean, find someone to play, right?" ”

"Hmm." Zhu Hao nodded.

"Okay, you find someone to say, I believe you. When it happens, I'm ready to leave this matter to you. ”

Zhu Si seems to believe in Zhu Hao very much, and even the matter of choosing a concubine also allows Zhu Hao to check it.

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty, the minister may not have the heart to worry about these recently, and now that the matter of the ceremony is basically decided, should the minister, the official position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also be ......?"

"You're not going to resign, are you?" Zhu Sidao.

Zhu Hao said: "The minister has no intention of resigning, but just wants His Majesty to change the minister's errand, and now the shipbuilding is in full swing, as His Majesty is worried, the most need to check the degree, and the ordnance factory also needs to be taken care of by the minister." ”

Zhu Si pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, for the position of a bachelor and a young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, you don't move for a while, and let you serve as the waiter of the Ministry of Works, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty, now that the two Ministry of Industry can fulfill their duties, why do you want to let the minister be the Ministry of Industry?" ”

"And what do you want to be?" Zhu Si was confused again.

Zhu Hao seemed very unconcerned, and arched his hand: "It's good to let the minister be a ministry langzhong." ”

"Langzhong? Didn't that bring you back again? Don't be presumptuous, now many people know that you are with me, and you don't need to engage in those perfunctory methods that are hidden and tucked...... Otherwise, you will go straight to the cabinet! "Zhu Sidao.

Zhu Hao sighed: "Your Majesty, regarding entering the cabinet, the minister recommended Mr. Tang to enter the cabinet." And one more thing, his condition ......"

finally talked about Tang Yin.

Tang Yin's illness has always been an unavoidable topic.

Although the appearance of Zhu Hao seems to have delayed Tang Yin's death, what should come is always coming, and history has not changed much.

When Zhu Hao roughly explained Tang Yin's situation, Zhu Si didn't seem too sad.

This also made Zhu Hao feel that Zhu Si only cared about the people around him on the surface, but in his mind, his throne was more important, as for what to fight for his parents...... Probably because he painted him too big at the beginning, telling him that this is the best way to suppress civilian power, and who to recognize as a father, is it really that important?

"Tang Xian's life is not long, so let him enter the cabinet before he dies, so that he can go away with glory, right?"

Zhu Si heard what Zhu Hao meant.

Zhu Hao nodded heavily: "Exactly." ”

Zhu Si sighed: "If that's the case, then I will listen to you, anyway, he is already a Hanlin bachelor, and entering the cabinet is just a matter of my words." But now there are four people in the cabinet, and when it is his turn to be the first assistant...... It shouldn't be possible. ”

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, if he asks him to do any errand, he will push back and block, and joining the cabinet is just to give him a prominent official resume." Not long after entering the cabinet, he let him retire and recuperate at home, and His Majesty was kind and righteous to him. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Si had no doubts.

Regardless of whether he is really unkind or not, there is no reason to refuse this kind of favor.

Besides, the teacher-student relationship between him and Tang Yin is something that everyone knows, even if he lets his former teacher enter the cabinet for his own face, it is not a shame.

"Just do what you want."

Zhu Si readily agreed.
