Chapter 1038: The funeral is not peaceful

Tang Yin's death as a current cabinet university scholar is equivalent to dying in office.

The imperial court attached great importance to this and appointed the funeral minister, which should have been in charge of Zhu Hao, but Zhu Si was afraid that Zhu Hao would take advantage of Tang Yin's death to take care of some things outside of official business, so he specially asked Jinyiwei to help complete the funeral and other affairs, and transported Tang Yin's coffin back to Suzhou for burial.

Zhang Zuo left the palace on behalf of the emperor, went to the Tang Mansion to mourn, and explained the situation to Zhu Hao alone.

「…… Your Majesty knows that Mr. Tang likes peach blossoms the most in his life, so he specially asked people to buy a hill in the land of Gusu and plant all peach blossom trees, and if it is too late, they will be transplanted from other places, so that Mr. Tang's tomb will be full of peach blossom trees, and the peach blossoms will bloom all over the mountains and fields next spring."

Zhu Si can be regarded as completing Tang Yin's last intention.

Zhu Hao didn't have any idea about this.

Tang Yin liked peach blossoms very much during his lifetime, but it is better to return to peace when he dies, as for the grave...... Or plant pine trees is better, peach blossom trees or something is obviously flashy, I don't know how many people will be attracted to come to the green in the spring, lying in the grave can not be quiet, wait for a few decades peach blossom trees have aged and died, then I don't know what a messy scene.

However, since Zhu Si had the intention to arrange, Zhu Hao couldn't say anything, and he had to express his gratitude to the emperor on behalf of Tang Yin.

"Mr. Zhu, don't be too sad, it's better to take care of your body first, state affairs are important."

Zhang Zuo thought that Zhu Hao would be grief-stricken because of Tang Yin's death, but Zhu Hao was not too sad, he just felt regretful, as a witness of history, he felt some things with his own personal experience, and more sighed, it was really unnecessary for him to cry for whom.

But there is still a loss in my heart, this is an old friend who has been with him for ten years, and he passed away in front of his eyes, Rao is Zhu Hao is familiar with this is the inevitability of history, but it is always a person who is not a plant.

Zhu Hao sighed, shook his head and said, "Life is a life, grass and trees are autumn, I have experienced a lot of Mr. Tang's things, and I have seen a lot, thank you Gonggong Zhang for reminding me."

"Yes, you mourn."

Because Tang Yin didn't even have a son, when handling the funeral, he could only rely on Tang Yin's younger brother to help with it, and he was going to pass the stepchild to Tang Yin's name, but Tang Yin still had a posthumous son after all, and he didn't know if it would be a son or a daughter in the future.

Maybe even the matter of succession will have to wait for Tang Yin's posthumous frost to give birth before deciding, and it seems that there are probably less than three months left.

……

……

For several days, Zhu Hao was at Tang Yin's residence, and he didn't even return home.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Hao, a student, did his best, but in fact, he was just hiding quietly.

Although there were many ministers in the DPRK and China who did not deal with Tang Yin, they basically came to condole, and naturally met the new Hanlin scholar Zhu Hao.

Another Hanlin bachelor has not been implemented, Gui Cao is about to return to the capital, but his position is still unchanged, just a Hanlin attendant, obviously he is also very concerned about the position of the Hanlin bachelor, and wrote back early, this day let Fang Xianfu take advantage of the condolences to Tang Yin, specially made a statement.

Probably Gui Cao also knew that Huo Tao and Zhang Xuan were too deeply bound before, and if Huo Tao was allowed to meet Zhu Hao, the conflict would definitely intensify.

That's why Gui Cao will ask the entrusted party to come.

「…… As for who will be a bachelor of Hanlin, in fact, I proposed to His Majesty, it is Zishi, and His Majesty has also mentioned it in the court, but due to Mr. Tang's funeral in recent days, many things may have to be postponed, so let Zishi be patient and wait first. It's not for me to decide."

Zhu Hao was actually polite, and his words clearly indicated that he would support Gui Cao, and did not suppress Gui Cao because he was close to Zhang Xuan.

Fang Xianfu sighed: "How the imperial court arranged, I didn't dare to ask, I just came to inquire about Master Zhu for Zishi."

Zhu Hao said: "It's nothing, if you want to know, then just ask, I don't really want to ask about the Hanlin Academy, but I'm still willing to answer the questions." Including recently, His Majesty wants to promote a few more people in the Hanlin Academy...... It's no secret, but I don't really want to be a part of it."

Although Zhu Hao is now the head of the Hanlin Academy, he said that he would not ask the Hanlin Academy

Personnel, somewhat contradictory, Fang Xianfu, as a member of the council faction, naturally wants to be promoted, but his mood is not as urgent as Gui Cao, and now Gui Cao is not very good at showing his tendencies, if he falls directly to Zhu Hao's side, it is tantamount to hurting Zhang Zhang's heart.

This group of people only gained momentum by befriending Zhang Xuan.

If they knew that Zhang Xuan was actually working for Zhu Hao at that time, maybe they would not have been so deeply bound to Zhang Zhang.

If they turn against them now, who can afford to look up to them?

"I'll tell you as much as I can say it, and I can't mention what I can't say, I'm going to keep vigil here today, so please go back first."

Zhu Hao was very polite to the other party.

Before these people entered the court, they would never have thought of Zhu Hao's value and significance by the emperor's side, but now it is only because they belong to the same ritual faction that Zhu Hao will see them, and Fang Xianfu also understands that Zhu Hao seems to have a deep grudge against him.

Alas, it's all Zhang Xuan's trouble.

Anyway, you, Zhang Xuan, are fine, why are you messing with Zhu Hao?

Is it an opponent of the same level?

Why do you dare to make a move so easily?

……

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Si hadn't seen Zhu Hao in the past few days, and he also wanted to go to the Tang Mansion to offer condolences in person, but he knew that it was not convenient.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has sent someone to the Tang Mansion to send condolences, and I heard that Yutian Bo in Anlu also wants to return to Jingshi......" Zhang Zuo said.

Zhu Sidao: "Uncle is in Huguang, how could he know the news of Mr. Tang's death so quickly?"

Zhang Zuo reminded: "Your Majesty, the news of Mr. Tang's dying has spread to various places a few days earlier, maybe Yutian Bo guessed something and wanted to return to Beijing."

Zhu Si said impatiently, "He didn't finish the errand assigned to him, why should he come back in a hurry? Send him an edict to let him stay in Anlu to do things in peace, and the renovation of the Xingwang Mansion has been completed? The mausoleum of the emperor has been reinforced? Added something I wanted? He's doing things for me, and he can't just leave."

"Yes!"

Zhang Zuo felt that Zhu Si was a little unkind.

Everyone knows that Jiang Lun and Tang Yin have a close relationship, Tang Yin and Zhu Hao are old friends, and Jiang Lun is a peer friendship, and they are still close friends at the wine table.

Jiang Lun couldn't even come back to see Tang Yin...... That's true, the last time we saw each other turned out to be goodbye.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu has been staying in the Tang Mansion and refuses to leave anything."

Zhang Zuo brought Zhu Si another piece of news.

Zhu Si had expected this.

"Jingdao is close to his husband, and he is also a teacher and friend, I can understand Jingdao's sad feelings, let him stay there." Zhu Sidao.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Befriending the emperor and making a fortune, what qualifications do you have for Tang Yin?

Among the six Shangshu, the other person who has never appeared in the Tang Mansion is Huang Zhan, the Hubu Shangshu who has a certain friendship with Tang Yin.

In the eyes of outsiders, Huang Zan was promoted by the emperor, and he belonged to the same ritual faction as Tang Yin, so it was very strange that he didn't go, could it be said that you Huang Zan was ready to break away from the control of the new emperor and set up his own door? Or are you ready to retire?

Recently, Huang Zan has indeed been running around for the sake of Zhishi.

Huang Zhan didn't want to retreat.

He felt that he still had the strength to stay in the DPRK and China.

But he also had a reason not to come to visit Tang Yin...... Need to avoid suspicion.

Recently, Huang Zan and Yang Yiqing have been very close, and many things have been directly visited by Yang Yiqing to ask Yang Yiqing's opinion.

But Huang Zan has never been a secretary of the military department, saying that he has the opportunity to be promoted to the secretary of the ministry, and probably only through Yang Yiqing's appreciation and promotion can he succeed.

"Mr. Zhu, that Huang Butang seems to be very keen to contact some old colleagues of the Hanlin Academy, and seems to be interested in letting Yang Butang enter the cabinet."

These words were mentioned to Zhu Hao by Huang Jin, the commander of the East Factory, when he came over to deliver the sacrifices.

Dongchang is almost familiar with the movements of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Huang Zan and Yang Yiqing got close, and even the emperor's mood fluctuated a little, feeling that Huang Zan was suspected of "eating inside and out", and he was running around for Yang Yiqing's entry into the cabinet, which was obviously beyond the original intention of the emperor not wanting to add another cabinet minister.

Huang Jin conveyed Huang Zhan's movements, a bit of a way to ask Zhu Hao for countermeasures.

Probably Zhu Si is not sure whether it is necessary to curb Huang Zhan's tendency now.

Zhu Hao said, "Huang Butang's actions should not exceed the duty of a courtier, right?"

"That...... Naturally, there isn't."

Huang Jin didn't know why Zhu Hao asked this, this statement ...... It's easy to get ambiguous!

But after thinking about it, Huang Zhan really didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

"Let him be, then."

Zhu Hao said, "Your Majesty is probably also a little annoyed that Yang Butang did a lot of things to criticize the government during his tenure as the secretary of the ministry, right? In fact, if Yang Butang really entered the cabinet, with his ranking order in the cabinet, maybe the right to speak would not be as great as it is today!"

Huang Jin was stunned, then seemed to understand something, his face showed joy, got up and saluted and said goodbye.
