Zhu Hao received Zhu Si's "forgiveness" and could concentrate on his "Taoism" research.

Of course, Zhu Hao did not enter the Taoist temple as a Taoist priest, but entered as a court official, and explained in advance what he did, he wanted to enter the Taoist temple to cultivate, and did not study alchemy or study the meaning of the Heavenly Dao.

Anyway, it's just going in and fooling around.

As for what your emperor likes to think, it's up to you.

Zhu Hao entered the Taoist temple and had no effect on what he did.

In the court.

Regarding the emperor's promotion of Gui Cao to be a bachelor of Hanlin, in full swing of discussion, although some people stood up against it when the court pushed, it was always recommended by others, such as Gu Dingchen, Li Tingxiang and others, and Gui Cao's status in the emperor's mind was still a little different.

However, it was one person recommended by Liu Chun who made the emperor a little more interested, and that was Zhang Bangqi.

Zhang Bangqi is also a Hanlin attendant, the same position as Gui Cao's current position, but there is one point, that is, Zhang Bangqi has been an official for a longer period of time and has known the little emperor earlier, just because Zhang Bangqi did not participate in the affairs of the ceremony, so he could not gain the absolute trust of the emperor.

After the court was postponed this day, the matter of Gui Cao becoming a bachelor of Hanlin was still unresolved.

Afterwards, Zhang Zuo personally went to Taiqingguan in the south of the city to find Zhu Hao and ask his opinion on this matter.

Zhu Hao was dressed in loose clothes, but not a robe, and when he came out, he was still yawning when he saw Zhang Zuo.

Zhang Zuo asked puzzledly, "Sir, what are you ......?"

"I didn't sleep well."

Zhu Hao said, "This side is not as soft as the high bed at home, but I have adapted a lot in the past two days, but I am a night owl, and I can't sleep well at night, but I always doze off during the day."

Zhang Zuo was speechless for a while.

In these days, it's rare to see people working at night.

But think about it, Zhu Hao used to help the emperor review and review the music overnight, and he was used to reversing day and night, and he usually made up for sleep during the day, didn't the emperor also take advantage of this and desperately squeeze Zhu Hao?

……

……

The two sat down and talked about Zhu Si's promotion of Gui Cao.

This is not the first time he has explained the situation to Zhu Hao, so Zhang Zuo is very careful when he speaks, for fear of annoying the other party, in the end, Gui Cao is currently standing on the opposite side of Zhu Hao, and he is about to take up the same position as Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao said, "Didn't you say that it was him? Why do you want to ask my opinion?"

Zhang Zuo asked tentatively, "That's the case, can you write a note and recommend it in the name of the Hanlin Academy?"

At first glance, this may sound excessive.

In order to make Gui Cao more justified as a bachelor of Hanlin, let Zhu Hao, who still has the name of the head of the academy, write a note to support him......

Zhu Hao smiled and asked, "What I wrote, will anyone adopt it?"

In Zhu Hao's meaning, are you treating me as Yang Tinghe?

Just write a note for anything......

I'm afraid that even the first assistant Fei Hong doesn't dare to write a note so confidently now, once this kind of thing falls into the hands of political enemies, it will be impeached.

[In view of the general environment,

Zhang Zuo said, "But without your support, even if he is promoted to a Hanlin Bachelor, he will be criticized."

Zhu Hao nodded: "If Your Majesty really needs this, then I will write it." How to write? Please give me advice."

……

……

Zhu Hao wrote a "letter of recommendation" and asked Gui Cao to become a bachelor of Hanlin.

Zhu Hao can be understood that the emperor wants Gui Cao to change from Zhang Xuan's henchman to a relatively neutral existence, at least not to choose a side between Zhang Xuan and Zhu Hao.

Zhu Si had already begun to have some imperial strategies, and his move was just to balance the relationship between Zhu Hao and Zhang Xuan.

If Zhang Xuan himself is a bachelor of Hanlin and has a Gui Cao, plus Zhu Hao doesn't care about anything, then the balance between Zhang Xuan and Zhu Hao will be broken, and the emperor will

I'm not at ease about using Zhang Xuan, who knows if this old boy will borrow the errand of the Hanlin Academy to do anything next time?

Last time, it was leaked that the emperor went on patrol, and if he made any more moths for the upper position, the emperor would never let him go.

With Zhu Hao's note, the emperor at the court meeting the next day naturally agreed to use Gui Cao as the bachelor of Hanlin on the grounds of Zhu Hao's support, and some people originally raised objections, but Liu Chun came forward to agree with this matter because of Zhu Hao's support for Gui Cao.

Liu Chun's original intention was to calm things down.

Since Zhu Hao thinks that Gui Cao is on the throne, there is no need to fight anymore, anyway, the emperor must use someone from the Yili faction.

It's not Gui Cao, it's Fang Xianfu or Huo Tao, and it's unrealistic to even use the relatively neutral Zhang Bangqi.

As a result, on the first day of Gui Cao's return to Beijing, he went directly to the Hanlin Academy to take up the post of Hanlin Bachelor.

……

……

Zhu Hao is in the Taoist temple, and the news is closed, and he does not always pay attention to the situation in the court as before.

Zhu Si sent someone to investigate, and found that Zhu Hao really became a person who was idle and wild, concentrating on studying the Taoism there, but drawing some drawings from time to time at night, this habit ran through Zhu Hao's career growing up in Xingwangfu, so even if Zhu Si knew what Zhu Hao was drawing, he wouldn't think it was strange.

Anyway, in Zhu Si's eyes, Zhu Hao has liked to engage in research since he was a child.

At the same time, news came one after another from the southeastern coastal defense, saying that on the ground in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the fleet sent by Zhu Hao, in coordination with the soldiers and horses of Jinghai, exterminated the bandits along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang with lightning speed, and only a very small number of bandits fled along the coast in the south and east directions.

Those who went east probably fled in the direction of the Wa Kingdom.

To the south, it is probably waiting for an opportunity to rise again.

Lu Wan was repeatedly mentioned in the local music because of his contribution to the war to exterminate the bandits.

After the court discussion, Lu Wan returned to the field of vision of the court ministers as the "governor of the coastal guards of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong", and the imperial history of the right capital, which means...... Lu Wan completed the merit with a guilty body.

Even if Lu Wan is still far from being reinstated, at least the Lu family no longer has to bow their heads to see people.

As a result, many ministers of the DPRK and China are worried.

After all, Lu Wan used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, and his reputation in the government and the opposition was not low, and the relationship between Lu Wan and Wang Qiong was quite good.

If Lu Wan and Wang Qiong return to the court...... Even Yang Yiqing is worried about the influence of the two in the court.

Especially the border army, that is the core of the Ming Dynasty's military power, as Peng Ze's power is gradually disappearing, Wang Qiong and Lu Wan cultivated some of the old departments, with their outstanding ability, have emerged.

And it's right now.

The trilateral governorship was re-mentioned on the table.

There was almost no suspense this time, and the previous Xuanda Governor Zang Feng, as the imperial history of the right capital and the left squire of the military department, went to the military affairs of the governor of the three sides.

Because Zang Feng was a cronie cultivated by the emperor from the beginning, and no one had any opinions when he was activated this time, and it was also because Zang Feng did not take the lead in matters such as the Great Rites Discussion, even if Zang Feng had always been at odds with Yang Tinghe and Peng Ze, but the forces cultivated by Peng Ze in the northwest have been recognized as incompetent.

The emperor could even reactivate Wang Qiong and Lu Wan, and it seemed reasonable to appoint Zang Feng to the northwest.

At this time, many people missed Tang Yin......

Let Zang Feng go to the northwest, it's really better to let Tang Yin go, although Tang Yin is from Xingwangfu, but at least this thing has never been greedy for power, and has always kept a low profile in the northwest, acting extremely cautiously, plus it has no own power, it is very easy to control.

……

……

Zang Feng left for the northwest in mid-March.

On this day, Lu Zhanqing went to the Taoist Temple to see Zhu Hao, she was wearing a Taoist robe, and she wanted to hide her eyes, but when she appeared in front of Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao felt that she was a little eager to cover up.

In the end, Lu Zhanqing has the appearance of a national color and a fragrance in the end, no matter how much he hides it, it is still

It is easy to be recognized as a woman at a glance.

There is no female Taoist priest allowed in Taiqingguan, and she always seems out of place when she comes like this.

Fortunately, there has been no one around the Taoist temple recently, and it seems that even Zhu Si has lost interest in Zhu Hao's whereabouts.

"Why doesn't the lord go to the court, or go to a foreign place to do his own thing? And to stay here?"

Lu Zhanqing put down the basket he was carrying and took out some snacks from it.

Apparently she did it all with her own hands.

Zhu Hao doesn't like to let the women around him do some things like eating and drinking, he is more casual in eating and drinking, and he can eat anything.

But Zhu Hao still gave Lu Zhanqing face and took two bites.

"There is no place for me in the court, and I am afraid that His Majesty will send someone to chase me back, so it is better to stay in the Taoist temple and try to be quiet."

Zhu Hao said so, but obviously he had a full plan.

Staying for the time being means that he is not ready to leave, once he decides to leave, he will definitely not stay, and there must be a way to make Zhu Si unable to catch up.

The biggest problem at the moment is the lack of manpower.

Zhu Hao needs enough people to assist him, even if he goes to conquer the natives overseas, he must have a group of people who are loyal to him, and this group of people and horses actually Zhu Hao has an idea...... It is Lu Song and Lu Bing, father and son, as well as Guan Dezhao and Guan Jing and others.

Of course, the fleet and soldiers sent out to find the New World were also his reserves.

He had to bring more men with him in order to stay out of the fire in the New World, and although the weapons he could provide were more advanced, the opponent was never a group of natives with wooden javelins and bronze arrowheads.

When the time comes, he can unite with the natives to fight back, and then absorb some of the men...... It's better to make a drama like the conquest of the European continent by the American continent......

Of course, these are unrealistic fantasies, and Zhu Hao has no intention of putting them into practice.

He is still in the planning stage, and he needs more drawings, more technology, and more manpower and material resources.

"Recently, your grandfather will come to Jingshi to report on his work, do you want to see him?" Zhu Hao asked.

Lu Wan made military achievements in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he will be responsible for the next matter of sweeping the sea frontier, but before that, he has to go to the capital to get a position, and he is also here to express his allegiance to Zhu Si.

It is necessary to level the sea and frontier, and not to be in a hurry.

Lu Wan led troops on the southeast coast, and Zhu Hao wanted to use him, but it was estimated that it was a little difficult.

Don't look at Lu Wan's kindness now, but such an old minister...... It's really not as easy to use as newcomers such as Lu Bing, this kind of person is actually a politician in his bones and will not follow Zhu Hao to take risks.

Lu Zhanqing's attitude was firm, and he said, "The concubine obeys the master's orders."
