Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin returned to the duty room of the celebrant supervisor.

Huang Jin asked, "Gonggong Zhang, do you think it is necessary to inform Mr. Zhu and let him leave for Beijing earlier?" If this continues, I am afraid that he will go to sea by boat......

"Alas, it seems that Mr. Zhu is very keen on overseas affairs, and I heard that the ship sent to the South Seas will soon leave again. Maybe Mr. Zhu will go with them this time. ”

Huang Jin, as the director of Dongchang, was always a little constrained and had no countermeasures when facing Zhu Hao's problems.

On the one hand, the emperor wanted Zhu Hao to stay in the capital honestly and help deal with the government affairs, and at the same time, he could also give advice on some important matters; On the other hand, they did not allow Dongchang and Jinyiwei to use any coercive means to coerce.

Now that Zhu Hao is in the field, he can't go to persuade him, and he is simply incomprehensible.

Zhang Zuo shook his head helplessly: "I can't stop it." ”

The implication, don't think about persuasion, now Zhu Hao and the emperor are both stubborn, and the kind of nine cows can't turn back, relying on us alone to mediate, it's useless.

Unless one of them hits the south wall, he will wake up and get back together.

"Then if you really can't stop it, Your Majesty will ask us for people......"

What Huang Jin is most afraid of is that Zhu Hao really went to sea when he turned around, and the emperor couldn't find anyone to ask them for it, or blamed them for not seeing Zhu Hao.

Zhang Zuo glared at Huang Jin and said, "What didn't happen, what do you want to do?" Overseas Ru Mao blood drinking place, life is inconvenient, do you think everyone likes to stay there? Just run your own errands! Don't ask our family about everything, our family also obeys orders, what's the difference between you and me? ”

Zhang Zuo's anger lies in the fact that there is no solution to this problem.

Even the emperor can't help it, are you Huang Jin taking me too seriously?

In the past, we encountered some troubles that were difficult to solve, and we came forward to settle the matter with Zhu Hao, but now the object of the problem has become Zhu Hao, so who should we seek advice from?

You can't ask a courtier about such a confidential matter, can you?

Among the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK, who hoped that Zhu Hao would return to Beijing as soon as possible?

"Yes."

Huang Jin faced Zhang Zuo, who was about to get angry, and could only bow his head in response.

But I was thinking in my heart that this emperor was getting harder and harder.

……

……

The news about Zhu Hao's departure to the sea was still a secret in the court, and what the courtiers knew was that Zhu Hao went to Nanjing to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and there may be some secret missions involving Jinghai.

As for shipbuilding or something, the ministers didn't think it was an important errand, probably thinking that the emperor sent Zhu Hao to Nanjing to gild, and they were already trying their best to prevent Zhu Hao from returning to the capital at any time, serving as the sixth secretary and even entering the cabinet, disrupting the political environment of the Ming Dynasty.

This celestial court meeting.

I don't know why, suddenly a speaker came out of the ranks, mentioning that Zhu Hao did not perform his duties after arriving in Nanjing.

The emperor was already preparing to leave the Fengtian Hall after the court meeting, but when he heard this, he suddenly sat back and stared at the civil officials under the imperial stairs.

During this time, the ministers have faintly felt that the young emperor has no intention of doing things, or that now the emperor has gradually become lazy, and likes to hand over everything to the ministers, but he uses all kinds of unconventional means to stealth behind the scenes, and treats the ministers as puppets.

On the issue of employing people in the imperial court, it seems that only Zhu Hao's matter can make the emperor so cautious.

Zhu Si said with a straight face: "Zhu Jingdao went to the south, I said hello in advance, the so-called Nanjing Ministry of Industry is just a temporary errand entrusted to him, he used to sit in Nanjing City at no time necessary...... As for the affairs of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, can't it be completed without him? ”

At this time, there were also people who impeached Zhu Hao, and Zhu Si couldn't figure it out anyway.

People have already gone to the south, and it doesn't get in the way of you old guys, why are you still chasing and chattering?

Fei Hong walked out and said loudly: "Then Your Majesty, if there is something to make a decision in the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, or if something goes wrong, should the Nanjing Ministry of Industry squire take the responsibility, instead of Shangshu?" ”

In his position, he is not seeking politics, and he is talking about Zhu Hao.

In the past, when you were in the capital, if you really had anything, you could report to the emperor at any time, or we, the ministers, would share your worries and solve problems for the emperor, but Nanjing couldn't.

Nanjing has its own administrative team, and many things need to be reported after making their own decisions......

Although there are not necessarily many big things in Nanjing, especially the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, which is only responsible for the construction and construction of river defense projects in various places in Nanzhili, most of the time it is some trivial things such as repairing the Nanjing Imperial Palace and city walls.

But even so, the court officials took these things as a matter of course.

It is to do things for the imperial court, no matter how big or small.

There must always be someone in front of the talker, and you also need to come out to carry the black pot when you are in trouble.

Zhu Si sneered and asked, "It's okay to let Zhu Hao take responsibility if something happens, but please wait until something really happens!" ”

After saying that, the emperor no longer paid attention to this group of unreasonable ministers, and went straight to the front.

The minister wanted to salute him, but he didn't have a chance, and when he raised his head, the emperor and everyone were gone.

……

……

After the dispersal of the court, the ministers did not have any private discussions, and they all walked out of the palace.

Huang Zan hurriedly went over to find Fei Hong, he wanted to inquire about his relocation of the Ministry of Officials...... Previously, he had handed over 60,000 taels of silver, of which 30,000 taels were from the Beijing Prince, and the other 30,000 taels were out of his own pocket.

The emperor just begged for the silver to sell the official mantle, but dragged it but didn't do anything, which gave Huang Zan a headache.

At the moment, he can only take advantage of the occasional court meeting to meet Fei Hong, the first assistant, and ask about the progress of the matter, after all, it is not good for him to ask to see Fei Hong casually as the head of the household at other times, otherwise he may let outsiders gossip.

In order to be the head of the six ministries, Huang Zan always pays attention to his words and deeds, and now he has behaved in a proper manner and does not act in any disorder.

"Gongxian, are you asking the secretary of the ministry to be the secretary? Recently, I heard that Shi Shangshu resigned, but His Majesty did not allow it, and the court was as calm as a pool of stagnant water...... Could it be that you have some misunderstanding? ”

Although Fei Hong didn't know that Huang Zan donated silver to buy officials, he vaguely knew what price Huang Zan should have paid, and it was also possible that an internal official had promised him something, otherwise Huang Zan would not be so sure that he would be the secretary of the ministry.

Shi Xuan was transferred from the cabinet to be the secretary of the ministry, and it hasn't been long since the time passed, so he just let it go, isn't it a little too sorry that Shi Xuan has worked hard for the court for so many years?

"Alas!"

Huang Zan sighed heavily and said, "The old decay is already in the last years, I am afraid that I will not stay much time in the court. ”

Liu Chun on the side smiled and quipped: "Look at your red face, your spirit is very good, there should be no problem with doing it for the imperial court for another three or five years." Recently, the household department has become more orderly after you take care of it, and even the cabinet feels a lot lighter, and you have made a great contribution. ”

Liu Chun has been responsible for docking with the household department.

After Huang Zan went to serve as the secretary of the household department, Liu Chun's errand became a lot easier, because Huang Zan had an excellent talent in managing money and grain, and the improvement of the household work was very obvious, and Huang Zan was also promoting reforms such as the salt tax in the DPRK and China in an orderly manner.

At present, many officials of the household system, and even the main officials of the provincial political envoys, have a deep friendship with Huang Zhan, and it can be said that Huang Zan is the guarantee for the normal financial operation of the household department and even the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty.

It's really not good to change someone else.

Huang Zan frowned, he heard what Liu Chun meant.

Since you are doing a good job in the household department, why should you rush to become the secretary of the ministry?

It's all a book, although the official book sounds good, but it is the same as your household department official rank, and you are also in charge of the vital money bag, why do you have to be persistent?

Of course, Huang Zan is not willing to be just a household secretary, isn't it tiring to take care of money and food for the imperial court?

How cool is it to manage people?

You can dispatch as you want, which yamen in the court and the central government wants to arrange people, or what vacancies in the local area are nominally determined by evaluation, but the discretion of the official department is very large, just take advantage of his own departure from the court, and promote his protégés more of the past, isn't it fragrant?

"I just want to serve the court more!" Huang Zan said.

Fei Hong looked around, but saw that Jia Yong and Yang Yiqing had already gone to the cabinet duty, and couldn't help but remind in a whisper: "You should still ask Your Majesty about this matter, or find an internal official, please forgive me for not being able to help!" ”

After speaking, Fei Hong ignored Huang Zhan's questioning and went to catch up with Liu Chun to catch up with the two colleagues.

……

……

Huang Zan felt that Zhu Hao's departure had a huge impact on him.

wanted to ask the emperor what he meant, but he couldn't find anyone, and in the end, in desperation, Huang Zan could only ask Zhang Xuan for help.

Yang Yiqing didn't count on him, although Yang Yiqing vacated the position of the secretary of the ministry, but he didn't let him go up, and there were many means, so Huang Zan could see that Yang Yiqing didn't really help.

In this case, he might as well ask Zhang Xuan as the minister of etiquette.

Huang Zhan also felt a little ashamed.

Obviously, he relied on Zhu Hao's relationship before, and he climbed faster than Zhang Zhang, but now when he encounters something, he actually relies on Zhang Zhang's help to make peace...... But who let Zhang Xuan and Zhang Zuo have close contacts, after all, when it comes to matters such as edicts, they will often see each other?

And Huang Zan knew that he was very unsuitable to meet Zhang Zuo, or rather, he didn't have a chance to meet, so he could only ask Zhang Chan to help ask.

Zhang Xuan saw Huang Zhan in the temporary residence arranged for him by the emperor, and his face was full of surprise after listening to Huang Zhan's explanation of his intentions.

"Huang Butang, you are in a high position, and now you have to ask about something?"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be sarcastic.

When you Huang Zan and Zhu Hao were in cahoots, did you ever think about my feelings?

I was waiting to be a Hanlin scholar, but you directly gave me my position, and at first only gave me a Hanlin attendant, and I have always remembered this hatred.

Before, I tried my best to slap you.

As a result, you are good, you didn't do it for your cabinet scholars, and ran back to be the head of the household department, and now you know the difference between the cabinet minister and the secretary, right?

Huang Zan said: "That...... Bingyong, are you willing to help talk to Grandpa Zhang? ”

"Okay."

Zhang Xuan didn't refuse, for him, it was just a matter of asking a word in passing when he met Zhang Zuo next time, "But ah, Huang Butang, to put it mildly, since Your Majesty arranged for Shi Butang to stay as the secretary of the ministry, there must be a reason." If you are anxious to replace him, you should also talk to Shi Butang and ask him to resign again. ”

Huang Zhan frowned.

I'll go and tell Shi Xuan, you hurry up and get out of here, and give me the position of the secretary of the ministry?

Who is embarrassed to say such hurtful words?

Do you dare to change Zhang Xuan?

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "If Huang Butang has anything to do in the future, discuss it with me, and I may be able to help you plan it out." ”

Huang Zan understood that Zhang Zhang's purpose in giving him a problem was actually to distinguish between the two...... Zhang Xuan is the main one, and he is the auxiliary, and he will steadily suppress him in the DPRK in the future.
