Chapter 28 Entering the Cabinet
"The ministers obey."
The cabinet headed by Yang Tinghe bowed down and said, they knew that the current Emperor Zhengde was definitely not discussing with them, but warning them for the last time, if they still did anything in private, then they would face the emperor's wrath.
Zhu Houxi saw that Zhengde was so angry, and persuaded him: "Big brother, don't be angry, the younger brother believes in your will, all the scholars must have understood, no one will want to drive the younger brother back to Anlu, but now the younger brother has one thing, I hope the eldest brother is in charge." ”
Hearing that Zhu Houxi had something, Zhengde restrained the anger in his heart and said, "What's the matter with the emperor's brother?" ”
Zhu Houxi scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Brother wants to be an official." ”
Hearing this, everyone in the cabinet was puzzled, Zhu Houxi's current identity is the governor of Sihai Zhenhai, the general of the army, and the second-class military general of the Ming Dynasty.
"Oh? What does the royal brother want to be an official? ”
Zhengde and Zhu Houyu had discussed it before, but now they still asked with a pretending not to know why on their faces, as if Zhu Houyu wanted to be an official, and he didn't know about it before.
Zhu Houxi's face showed a simple smile, but in the eyes of the cabinet, Zhu Houxi's smile was completely like a fox, and even Zhu Houyu at this moment was just a fox tail.
"Big brother, my brother wants to go to the Criminal Department for some training."
Now this era is not the Tang Dynasty, or the Qing Dynasty, now it is the Ming Dynasty, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty only needs to be raised as a pig.
"Your Majesty, the minister is against it."
Yang Tinghe was so angry that his beard was crooked, and he didn't care if he was in front of Zhengde now, and retorted loudly.
As soon as he heard that some people objected, Zhengde asked dissatisfiedly: "The emperor's younger brother wants to enter the court as an official, but also for the sake of the court and society, why is Yang Qing opposed?" ”
Of course, Yang Tinghe can't say that this is a game between the civilian clique and the royal family, if he gives in, the civilian clique will never be able to raise its head in front of the royal family in the future.
"Your Majesty, the son of Xing Shizi is the son of King Xing, if he is the son of Xing Shizi and inherits the title of King Xing, it is inevitable that he will not have a different heart, and the minister asks Your Majesty to think twice."
After speaking, Yang Tinghe knelt on the ground, and pressed his forehead tightly against the ground, although it was already the season of spring flowers, but now there was no floor heating on the ground, looking at Yang Tinghe's actions, Zhu Houxi felt cold when he thought about it.
"The ministers seconded the proposal."
Yang Tinghe's way of sparing himself made the rest of the cabinet shout slogans as well.
Zhengde glanced at these people, knowing that no matter how much he insisted on today's affairs, the cabinet would not give in, he could directly give an order, but he was afraid that the cabinet would break the net and collectively pick on them, which would be a big trouble.
Zhengde looked at Zhu Houxi, and the meaning of that look was obviously asking Zhu Houyu what the current situation should be.
"If you are not an official, you are not an official, Yang Ge Lao does not have to be like this."
Zhu Houxi quickly stepped forward and helped Yang Tinghe, whose head was frozen purple, up, and then said: "This son just wants to study, not to be an official, can you let this son go and watch?" ”
Yang Tinghe, who stood up, of course knew that Zhu Houyu wanted to repair the plank road in the dark, saying that he was not an official but just going to study, but in fact, he still wanted to stretch out his hand to the criminal department, but what could he do, Zhu Houyu wanted to be an official, he could stop it, but the prince of the family just wanted to learn, and as a courtier, he couldn't stop the royal children from learning.
Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "It's a good thing that the prince is studious, why don't you come to the cabinet to study?" ”
Old fox.
"To be able to study by the side of Yang Ge Lao, this son can't ask for it."
Zhu Houyu didn't dare to think about it before entering the cabinet, he thought about starting from the sixth department, but he didn't expect Yang Tinghe to let him enter the cabinet, he knew that Yang Tinghe's plan was to put him under his nose and save him from doing anything beyond control, but this did not prevent Zhu Houyu from entering the court's plan.
Seeing that Zhu Houxi was so knowledgeable, Yang Tinghe nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Zhengde and said, "I also hope that Your Majesty will allow the prince to come to the cabinet." ”
Of course, Zhengde would not veto Zhu Houxi's decision, and immediately agreed: "In this way, Yang Qing will have to worry more." ”
"Obey."
After Yang Tinghe and the others left, Zhengde asked Zhu Houxi: "Why do you want to change to the cabinet?" ”
When the two talked about it before, Zhu Houxi clearly said that he would go to the Criminal Department and control the civilian clique from the Sixth Ministry.
"The younger brother wants to control the cabinet through the six departments, and the people in the cabinet are not stupid, how can they agree, now Yang Tinghe let the younger brother enter the cabinet, which just saves the trouble of the younger brother, and the younger brother can enter the cabinet to monitor the cabinet under Yang Tinghe's nose."
Hearing Zhu Houxi's analysis, Zhengde said casually: "It's good for the imperial brother to make his own decisions, but don't put yourself in danger, remember?" ”
Since he was attacked by Jiang Bin last time, Zhu Houyu now asks the special guard to follow him every time he goes out, in case the last incident happens again, Zhu Houyu is full of confidence in his own safety.
"Don't worry, the eldest brother can arrange it freely."
"By the way, Jiang Bin has been caught, and he is in Jinyi Weizhao Prison at the moment, you can fulfill your promise when you have time, and the will is in Wei Bin's hands."
Hearing that Jiang Bin was arrested, Zhu Houxi was extremely excited and said: "Big brother, don't worry, the two acres of land have already been prepared." ”
Seeing that Zhu Houyu downplayed the murder, Zhengde's original worries disappeared without a trace in an instant, but he was glad that Zhu Houyu had grown up, and he didn't feel that Zhu Houyi was ruthless in his heart at all.
In Zhengde's eyes, Zhu Houxi is his imperial brother and his sibling, and Jiang Bin is a rebellious minister and thief, so Jiang Bin's death has long been doomed, and it doesn't matter who kills Jiang Bin.
Bidding farewell to Zhengde and not staying in the palace for dinner, Zhu Houxi went straight to Jinyi Weizhao Prison, he wanted to meet the original Zhengde favored minister Pingyu Bo Jiangbin.
The smell of Jinyi Wei Zhaojiao was not very good, exuding a musty sour smell, which made Zhu Houxi feel a little sick to his stomach, if he hadn't rushed over because he didn't have a meal, he would have vomited all over the place.
Following the Jinyi Guard who led the way, he walked around the Jinyi Wei Zhao Prison, and after a while, he heard the person who led the way say, "The prince is here, please." ”
In a dark and damp cell, Jiang Bin was huddled in the cell, and when Zhu Houxi arrived, he just looked up.
When two people with disparate identities met again, there was no fierce bad language to each other, and the state of both of them was very flat, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, looking at each other indifferently, waiting for the other party to speak first.
