The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

Years ago the last early dynasty.

Zhu Si was furious in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and reprimanded those ministers who knelt in front of Zuo Shun's door, although none of these people were currently in the hall.

He Mengchun, the only left waiter of the Ministry of Officials who could go to the court, was also transferred to Nanjing as the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and the Nanjing Ministry of Industry only had one waiter, and there was already a right waiter Zhang Cong, in fact, He Mengchun was transferred to Nanjing to be idle.

The emperor scolded very vigorously, and scolded for more than half an hour, and the ministers wondered whether the emperor memorized the words in advance, or whether he was so angry that he could scold for half an hour.

After scolding, Zhu Si did not listen to the minister's report, and directly announced his withdrawal from the court.

However, when he left the throne, the emperor suddenly remembered something, and stopped and told the minister loudly that he would promote one more person from among the Hanlin scholars to the cabinet......

"Right now, there are fewer Hanlin Scholars, and I plan to add one or two more Hanlin Scholars!"

Zhu Si added.

Then he sent the four existing cabinet ministers to the Qianqing Palace, as if he was going to have a small meeting.

……

……

The court was dissolved.

Zhu Hao was not among the summonses, so he went outside the palace as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and he was also going to take a train to Xishan that day and come back before the evening.

"Respectfully, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" Xi Shu didn't understand the emperor's intentions, so he had to find Zhu Hao on the way out of the palace for questioning after the dispersal of the dynasty.

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty wants to cultivate cronies. ”

The answer was straightforward, which made Xi Shu a little uncomfortable.

The word "cronies" has always been a little derogatory, the emperor's cronies are like close to each other when they hear it, and from Xi Shu's knowledge, Zhu Hao is the leader among the people around the emperor, doesn't this mean that Zhu Hao is laughing at himself?

"Who is it?"

Xi Shu asked.

From this point, Zhu Hao felt that Xi Shu seemed to be a little interested in both entering the cabinet and being a Hanlin bachelor.

If you weren't interested, you wouldn't have asked him.

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty wants to promote the Tang Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy into the cabinet, as for who will take over the position of the Hanlin Bachelor, it is unknown." ”

Zhu Hao really doesn't know.

Zhu Si is now in power, and he is enjoying the happiness of being the emperor doing whatever he wants, except that Tang Yin's promotion was suggested by Zhu Hao, and the matter of adding Hanlin Bachelors was a decision made by the emperor at all, and he had not discussed it with Zhu Hao in advance.

As for the question of who to add......

Zhu Hao also knew that the emperor probably wanted to promote him, but he had said in advance that he wanted to go to the Ministry of Industry to mix around, and he was not much interested in the Hanlin Bachelor.

Besides, if Zhu Si really wants to promote him, he will be directly promoted to the cabinet, and then the previous ones will be dismissed and let him be the first assistant, which seems to be more direct, but Zhu Si didn't do it, which shows that this Emperor Jiajing has other calculations that Zhu Hao doesn't know.

In this way, Xi Shu, Gui Cao and others have the possibility of being selected as Hanlin Bachelors.

Xi Shu shook his head and sighed: "No matter what Your Majesty thinks, it will probably have to wait until after the Yuan Festival." ”

Zhu Hao smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is very eager to do things now, and you won't wait that long, even if it's a New Year's holiday, Your Majesty won't delay once you make a decision." ”

"Huh?"

Xi Shu thought about it, then understood something, and sighed, "Then Your Majesty's purpose of summoning a few pavilion elders is about to come out." ”

……

……

Zhu Si summoned four members of the cabinet to talk about two main things.

The first of these is very important, that is, according to Zhu Hao's request, the "Minglun Grand Canon" was compiled, and the detailed rules of the Great Rites Discussion were agreed upon, and some people in the DPRK and China were accused of playing a disgraceful role in this matter, so as to promote some "meritorious heroes" and classify some people as "traitors".

The revision of the book was originally a matter of the same party and the same party, and Zhu Hao did not deny this when he proposed it, but Zhu Si made this matter even worse.

The second thing.

It is to let the four cabinet ministers recommend Tang Yin to the cabinet, and plan to promote one more person to be the master of the Hanlin Academy.

"I know that several people have doubts, why I suddenly want to promote Mr. Tang is really because he is not in good health, and he is expected to ...... after the year Alas! I understand Mr. and hope that before he goes west, I will strive for the glory behind him. ”

Zhu Si's attitude was sincere.

The four ministers present, except for Shi? It's a member of the traditional faction, and none of the other three have too obvious objections to it.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Fei Hong, as the first assistant, not only will not oppose this matter, but on the contrary, he is very much in favor.

Stone? Seeing this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is unreasonable to raise people as scholars. ”

Zhu Si sighed: "Old Shige, I know that this matter is a bit abrupt, but I will definitely not make a mistake, let him enter the pavilion, still don't let him sit in the court, usually don't need to go to the palace, and don't need to enter the duty room, occasionally he can go." Within three months, I will let him go, this is my promise, and it will not change. ”

Several people were thinking.

You, the emperor, have changed your opinions day by day on the issue of the Great Rites Discussion, is your promise still credible?

But at this time, Zhu Si's face was sincere, because he felt that he would not break the appointment at all, he was not reluctant to do it about whether Tang Yin entered the cabinet, it was Zhu Hao who insisted on fighting for Tang Yin's welfare, so he did it, could it be that Tang Yin himself rarely did this errand of the pavilion elder?

Liu Chun followed: "The old minister seconded the proposal. ”

Huang Zhan looked unfazed and did not comment.

Zhu Si looked regretful: "I didn't expect that Mr. Tang, he didn't look like anything, and his condition would develop to this point...... Now I know that all the respects and Taos have been calculated, and the number of lives is so uncontrollable! ”

Now Zhu Si has no scruples.

knew that among the four people present, there were still people who didn't know his relationship with Zhu Hao, but he still said this, just to show Zhu Hao's close relationship with him.

Stone? My heart was full of doubts.

Could it be that Zhu Hao's promotion was not because of Tang Yin's recommendation?

Between the emperor and Zhu Hao...... Are you close comrades-in-arms?

Because Zhu Hao's position is erratic on many things, so that Shi? Such an old minister didn't understand who Zhu Hao was.

There have been speculations, but they can't be sure.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, who would dare to believe that a teenage champion is actually a big man in the past few years, and he has been hiding behind the scenes?

Even Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian didn't find out these spirits!

Huang Zan said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends Zhu Hao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, as the bachelor of Hanlin. ”

Stone? Just wondering, Huang Zan said something that surprised him again.

Really......

Zhu Hao is really about to soar into the sky now.

You Huang Gongxian didn't express his position on Tang Yin's entry into the cabinet before, and your feelings are waiting here?

Zhu Sidao: "Forget it, Jingdao He doesn't like this errand, I have prepared, let him be the squire of the Ministry of Works, preside over the construction of trains, railways, ships and the management of the arsenal, etc., as for who will be the master of Hanlin...... I will consider it at my discretion and listen to your opinions. ”

This makes Shi again? Throw a fit.

I really didn't know if I didn't come to the small meeting, it was all messages that he couldn't accept, and the little emperor in front of him was just nonsense.

Zhu Hao is not a bachelor of Hanlin, but it all depends on his own interests? What else does he not like? Is this a major matter for the emperor to discuss the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the court, or is it simply a child playing with the house?

"I am going to send Yutian Bo back to Anlu after the New Year, I can't go back to my hometown to visit, I can't bear it, I don't know if the incense in front of my father's mausoleum has been maintained in recent years, you Qing family...... I'm really worried about Anlu. ”

Zhu Si suddenly mentioned his hometown and his biological father Zhu You?, which made several people present a little confused.

"Also, after the year, I am going to make some changes to the matter of the ceremony." Zhu Sidao.

Stone? Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how can you change such a situation?" ”

Chasing your father as the emperor's exam, this is already the end, right? Are you still messing around?

Zhu Sidao: "There can only be one of my imperial exams, that is, the first emperor, and the other ...... How can Nai's imperial uncle be the emperor's exam? You don't even understand this, do you? Can a child have two fathers? ”

Is this really a problem? I asked.

The focus of Zuo Shunmen's previous controversy was the question of who the emperor recognized as his father.

Probably because the emperor now feels that the matter has calmed down, and he must remove the name of Xiaozong's father, leaving only Zhu You? Just a dad.

Zhu Si said coldly: "It seems that you still have different opinions, but it doesn't matter, this matter will be renegotiated after the year, as for Jingdao...... Continue to be the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but I am ready to let him serve as the left attendant of the Ministry of Works. You don't have any comments, do you? ”

This time, not only Shi?, but even Fei Hong has an opinion.

Two squires?

What is this way to play? Is Zhu Hao in charge of the ceremony, or the Ministry of Works? Or is he in charge of the Hanlin Academy, or the affairs of the Zhan Mansion?

Is there any practical significance in holding so many positions, all of them are deputy positions?

Fei Hong said: "Your Majesty, as a minister, you should fulfill your duties, if you don't even know your position, I'm afraid it will be difficult to serve the court." ”

Fei Hong said this politely.

I only let you make a choice in Zhu Hao's official position, whether it is to be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites or a waiter in the Ministry of Works, if you are sure, I will not object or even support it.

But if you have to do both and this, then I can only fight with you.

Zhu Sidao: "Otherwise, what should I do?" He has to be responsible for the errands on both sides, so let him take care of both sides first, and when the matter of the ceremony is over, he will put down the position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites first, and then go back and talk about anything else. ”

Sounds reasonable.

Let Zhu Hao temporarily hang the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, the next step of the ceremony should be to clarify the problem of a father, and when this matter is confirmed, then Zhu Hao will only do the same.

But if you wait for the ceremony to go further, for example, to give Zhu You? After the temple number is determined, is it necessary to move Zhu Hao out at that time?

Stone? Said: "Your Majesty, even if you are a waiter of the Ministry of Works, you can be an errand of the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Mansion......"

Zhu Si said coldly: "Who said that only the waiter of the Ministry of Rites can hold these positions, but not the waiter of the Ministry of Works?" Don't you all hold the position of secretary of the ministry? I don't want to listen to those reasons, as long as he can do his best for the court, he can give him any official position. Again? Look, I directly let him be the secretary of the Ministry of Works! Go down! ”
