Although Zhang Zhou did not explicitly say that Yang Tinghe would abide by the rules in his hometown, it was no different from saying so.
"You are saying that Jiefu will get sick in Shu or encounter changes in his family"
Wang Hao frowned.
This is like cursing others. As a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, could Zhang Zhou speak directly to the emperor?
The emperor would actually listen
Zhang Zhoudao said, "To be honest, I mentioned to your majesty earlier that Yang Shidao might encounter family changes. Your Majesty governs the world with benevolence and filial piety, so he proposed that Yang Shidao and his two brothers return to their hometown to visit their relatives. If everything goes as I expected, I'm afraid that it has happened, and Yang Shidao will not be able to come out of the mountain in a short time because he is staying in Shuzhong."
"What happened?" Wang Hao asked after thinking about it.
If someone else had said this, he would not even have the possibility to ask. Such a bizarre and nonsense statement, and he would openly say that he did not want to get along with Yang Ting and Yu Chaotang in the future, or that Zhang Zhou did not want to get along with him. Care about your own opinions
Zhang Zhou sighed and said, "As I expected, his mother may be seriously ill, so hey, Bachelor Wang, do you have to say it directly?"
Wang Hao thought about it. Finally shook his head.
This time Zhang Zhou was more direct, telling him clearly that it was Yang Tinghe's mother who was dying of illness.
"Bingkuan, if it is true as you said, and the facts are like this, Jiefu will definitely be grateful for His Majesty's kindness when he returns to Shuzhong, but if otherwise, if the matter spreads again, I am afraid it will make you sigh."
Wang Hao was speechless when facing such a strange "student".
I have never seen someone like Zhang Zhou, who actually predicted in advance that someone else’s old mother, who was thousands of miles away, might change and asked her to go back to visit relatives. As a result, a Ming Dynasty ceremony was arranged during the visit. It is clear that Yang Tinghe was involved.
Zhang Zhou said, "There is no need to hide it, Master Wang. If you want to report back to the three cabinet elders, just speak out. Now that you have done it, why bother to hide it?"
Wang Hao looked at Zhang Zhou and said nothing. Say anything more.
Emotionally, he is still willing to help Zhang Zhou hide it, but now even Zhang Zhou himself doesn't seem to care at all, and Wang Hao is a bit incapable of doing things.
Inside the Hanlin Academy.
Xie Qian, who was waiting for news in the afternoon, did not see Wang Hao who was returning in a hurry until dark.
After Wang Hao briefly explained the process of his meeting with Zhang Zhou, Xie Qian stood up angrily and said, "What kind of evil talk is this to confuse the public for personal gain?"
Xie Qian didn't know what to do. To evaluate Zhang Zhou.
If it is said to be misleading, it seems to have affected only Yang Tinghe. I originally thought that Zhang Zhou was trying to help Wang Hao rise to power, but now it seems that Wang Hao and Zhang Zhou are not a group at all, only They are just teachers and students in name only.
But now Zhang Zhou seems to have gained tangible "private interests" because of the Ming Dynasty Huidian.
Wang Hao asked, "If Jie Fu were here, how much help would it have in compiling the ceremony?"
"Yeah"
Xie Qian was also stunned.
Xie Qian was still very angry at first. He was probably the same as Liu Jian and others, and he was sure that Zhang Zhou transferred Yang Tinghe away in order to conveniently seek credit for the compilation of the Ming Dynasty Code.
But as a bystander, Wang Hao reminded him clearly.
Even if Yang Tinghe stayed in the capital, there would not be much difference in the progress of repairing the Ming Dynasty Code. On the contrary, it might bring Yang Tinghe and the Hanlin Academy into disrepute.
You can still say, look, it’s because Yang Tinghe went back to his hometown to visit his relatives, which delayed the progress. Otherwise, we would have cultivated faster than that kid Zhang Zhou
That’s a lie, nonsense. After speaking out, everyone can feel at ease. What the facts are is another matter.
"As for Yu Qiao, do you still need to submit this memorial to the Cabinet?" Wang Hao asked.
Now even Wang Hao is vaguely inclined to believe Zhang Zhou's words. Maybe Zhang Zhou really doesn't have any ill intentions.
Xie Qian said, "Jizhi, even if Bingkuan is the tribute student you selected in Jiangnan, you shouldn't trust him."
Xie Qian at this time is I would like to remind Wang Hao that you must be clear about where you stand. You cannot be a mere wallflower, planning big things with us, but at the same time you want to believe the lies of that boy Zhang Zhou in your heart.
If you are determined, you should not ask whether you want to submit a memorial.
Wang Hao sighed and said, "After meeting Bingkuan, I feel that his attitude is sincere and does not seem to be aimless. After thinking about it afterwards, it is difficult to figure out what malicious intent he had in doing so. It was just for the ceremony, but It can also be explained that he didn't want Jiefu to be involved." Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Xie Qian shook his head and said, "Don't worry too much about this matter. The cabinet will make its own decision tomorrow. Chao Shang, you don’t have to say anything on behalf of Hanyuan.”
After Xie Qian returned, he went to discuss countermeasures with Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.
Even at night, the lights in the cabinet duty room were still bright, and the three people were studying what they were going to report, as well as the countermeasures for the court tomorrow.
"We can't let the people in the court know about Zhang Bingkuan's ceremony, and we must also get His Majesty to agree to recall Jiefu without arousing suspicion among the officials in the court. I'm afraid this requires more planning on your part. ”
Xie Qian is actually a little helpless about this.
He seemed to disagree with Wang Hao's words, but Wang Hao's words still planted seeds of doubt in his heart.
He thought rationally, how much help would it bring to the matter if he recalled Yang Tinghe?
Maybe it would be better to make peace with Cheng Minzheng and let Cheng Minzheng help repair the book. Cheng Minzheng was far superior to Yang Tinghe in terms of professionalism in the monastery.
Li Dongyang didn't seem very sure about this, and sighed, "Let's take it one step at a time."
That night, a guest room in the Jianghuai Commercial Building in the city was crowded with people.
The Chen family daughter is discussing with her mother-in-law, shopkeeper and others about the important matter of bidding for the construction of Piantouguan City.
“When the imperial court builds Guancheng, it will use frontier generals.Scholars and drafted laborers do not need to recruit people from outside. They only need to transfer the goods. According to rumors previously released by the Ministry of Works, all wood and stone materials near the capital come from the capital warehouse. They will be contacted by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Governor's Office will be responsible. During the procurement and transportation, during the coordination between soldiers from the Beijing camp, many people were active in the British government, wanting to bid for this bid through the British public bidding."
Listening to the reports of her subordinates, the Chen family daughter was only thinking about one thing in her mind.
That is whether the Chen family's business can support such a large business.
She will make the final conclusion. "Everyone, our Chen family in Jianghuai started our business by selling salt. Later, when the salt supply system was reformed, the nobility of the capital became seriously occupied. Ordinary merchants could not pay official salt from the salt field even if they had the salt supply chain in their hands. We were forced to do this. To change the way of business, Nanjing's powerful people are deeply entrenched. They have been solidified for hundreds of years and there is no way to start, so they can only find a way out in the capital. ”
The Chen family’s daughter explained that the current difficulties of their Chen family started from the reform of China’s grain reform and then to the oppression of others when doing business in Jiangnan.
Going north to develop, and It is not determined by her personal subjective will.
A shopkeeper named Huang asked, "There are more powerful people in the capital, so how can there be a bigger future here?"
The Chen family. The female said: "There are three, six or nine levels of power and authority. Even the princes are divided into close and distant relatives. Now we are looking for a good opportunity to win this business. If you make money, you can gain a firm foothold in the capital from now on. Even if you lose, you won't lose much. Most of you are old friends who have been in the official salt business with my Chen family for many years. It is your own choice whether to advance or retreat together this time. "
"My young master, if something good happens, it won't be our turn."
"Yes. "
"Besides, what are your abilities? To be able to take on such a big business, you need to mobilize at least one hundred thousand taels of silver. Even if we add up the net worth of all of us, it won't be enough. "
The people below still have doubts.
Some people directly said, "Just like before, isn't it good to drink soup behind those powerful people? Why do you have to make it yourself? In the past, you had to be a tiger if you wanted to eat meat, and we were just small characters. Young proprietor, you should think twice. "
"Yes, yes"
The Chen family girl said, "Don't you believe my Chen family's connections in the officialdom? My Chen family has been doing business in Nanjing for many years, and I have worked with Duke Cheng Guo. We have dealings with Yamen such as Yingtianfu and Yingtianfu. After this bidding, the court will allocate the cash in time. We are just purchasing a batch of foundations first. With Huizhou merchants' sales contracts as a guide, purchasing wood and stone materials was just a matter of one sentence. ”
No one spoke anymore.
“The opportunity is before us. If anyone wants to participate, just stay. If not, let’s part ways and have nothing to do with my Chen family.” ”
The Chen family’s daughter’s attitude was very firm.
The people below were talking a lot. Although they had many doubts, after all, they were working with the Chen family, and most of them were following The Chen family’s daughter’s father is hereThe old subordinates who work hard in the shopping mall have seen the most glorious time of the Chen family as the representative family of Hui merchants and salt merchants.
So when the Chen family daughter took the desperate measures, many people still chose to stay.
It seems that he wants to tide over the difficulties with the Chen family.
"Miss, we have collected a total of 40,000 taels of silver so far, and more than 10,000 taels were obtained by mortgaging the property in Jiangnan. I hope there will be no loss in business."
The mother-in-law under him is the accountant and the "advisor" of the Chen family's daughter.
The Chen family daughter looked at the books of accounts under the dim tung oil lamp, and sighed, "If the court doesn't accept the wood, stone, etc. we purchased, no one can swallow such a big thing." A batch of supplies will definitely be sold at a low price later. How can there be no loss?"
"Miss, why do we still need to purchase? We can't wait until the money from the court arrives after the bidding is finalized. Are you going to use this to make purchases again?”
The mother-in-law didn’t understand either.
The Chen family girl said, "It's impossible. If we don't have enough goods on hand, we won't even be qualified to bid. What's more, the less goods we have on hand, the more difficult it will be for us to purchase from others." There will be more. We can’t do it with nothing, but if the business is done this time, it won’t be difficult to do it in the future.”
The mother-in-law nodded and said, "Miss, this is what is called everything is difficult at the beginning, right?"
"It's not difficult for me anymore."
The Chen family girl said, "There was a time when the Duke's mansion was The wife of the second wife was also helped by Mrs. Anbian Hou, as well as my father's old friends in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, and that person's great help. Even if we give him 50% of the profit, it is still worth it. This time, we don’t care about the cost, even if there is a small loss, it is acceptable."
"Then"
"I just want others to see that the Chen family is not making a comeback. But to create greater glory again. In the capital, a place full of wolves, we can still gain a foothold. In a few days, we will bid. I will go and stay with Mrs. Anbianhou day and night. I will leave the matter here to you."< /p>
"Miss, what should I do if something happens?"
"If something happens, let me know, but don't say anything in front of that lady. She shouldn't get involved"
The mother-in-law smiled bitterly.
I’m afraid the people who shouldn’t be involved have already been involved by you
The next day there will be a meeting at Meridian Gate.
The ministers all arrived early and were talking in groups.
Zhu Youtang was relatively kind to civil servants. During the Hongzhi period, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty also received the highest respect since the Ming Dynasty. Many of these civil servants could also feel this kind of courtesy.
Only a few people can feel that a big crisis is approaching.
The person who stirred up the tide was naturally Zhang Zhou.
The person who said this is Liu Jian.
Liu Jian only called Wang Hao over and explained this to him, but did not call Liang Chu, who was half-informed, to inform him.
The three cabinet members have already discussed it.
Proposed that the Ming Dynasty Code compiled by Zhang Zhou needed time to proofread and revise, and proposed to recruit Yang Tinghe to return to Beijing, and gave him about three months to complete everything. Liu Jian felt that this was using his own body. Make a final fight against the emperor for the power of the "prime minister".
While he was talking, he saw Zhang Zhou following Xiao Jing to the Meridian Gate with very brisk steps.
Every time Zhang Zhou went in and out of the palace, he was accompanied by at least the eunuchs and eunuchs who were in charge of rituals. They seemed to be chatting and laughing along the way. Even Liu Jian and others did not receive this treatment.
It attracted a few more glances from the ministers present.
"I have already greeted Bingkuan, and he promised not to mention the ceremony to His Majesty." Wang Hao said.
Li Dongyang said, "Even if you don't mention it, just mentioning a few words will make us very passive."
Wang Hao frowned and looked at Li Dongyang, thinking, you are so Is this considered "judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart"? Zhang Zhou didn't mention it, but you actually thought that he came to participate in the court meeting just to hint that the emperor had a costly Ming Dynasty ceremony, and to deliberately embarrass our Hanlin Academy. If he really If he was so sinister, he would not have made this matter public long ago and yet come to us to discuss the proofreading in such a tactful way
"Get ready for the court meeting." Liu Jian didn't want to care about Zhang Zhou's purpose of coming to the Meridian Gate.
Zhang Zhou shouldn’t have come because it had nothing to do with Zhang Zhou. Even Liu Jian was afraid that Zhang Zhou would “strike first to gain advantage.”
Even if Zhang Zhou mentioned a few words to the emperor about accelerating the compilation of the Ming Dynasty Code, without mentioning that he would compile the book himself, the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy would be completely passive.
The meeting begins.
As expected, Zhang Zhou had no intention of speaking out at all that day, because he came to attend the court meeting entirely because Zhu Youtang told him that he might have to discuss the signature and signature of the Ming Dynasty Ceremony with the cabinet today. .
Neither Zhang Zhou nor Zhu Youtang had any intention of taking this book as their own.
The emperor also felt that if it was said that this book was compiled by Zhang Zhou alone, then no one in the Hanlin Academy would have to mix it up.
But if you don’t remember Zhang Zhou’s first contribution in this matter, don’t achieve the goal according to Zhang Zhou’s needs, and easily allocate the credit to the people of the Hanlin Academy, Zhu Youtang is also a millionaire. Will not agree.
To put it bluntly, we still have to argue.
Preserve the reputation of your ministers, but you must also seek sufficient political benefits for Zhang Zhou.
This is the emperor's purpose.
"Dear gentlemen, I have just received a thank you note." As the court meeting came to an end, Liu Jian also took the opportunity to touch the individual interview report in his arms, preparing to hand it over to him later. When Dai Yi was about to leave, the emperor suddenly spoke.
Everyone present was very curious, who would be grateful for what?What about the Biao?
In the Ming Dynasty, the thank you table was a special presentation mode. Basically, there was no need to "close it" to the cabinet. The cabinet only acted as an advisory body. Unlike the prime minister, everything did not need to go through the cabinet first. Then it is submitted to the emperor, and the emperor's decrees on rewards and punishments do not all need to be issued through the cabinet. The power to refute is not in the cabinet but in the six departments.
No one present knew the specific contents of this thank you note.
Zhu Youtang handed the thank you form to Dai Yi and raised his hand, meaning to let Dai Yi explain the situation.
Dai Yi sighed, "That's right. Your Majesty previously allowed Yang Tinghe, the Hanlin minister and Zuo Yude of Zuo Chunfang, and Yang Tingyi, the younger brother of the newly promoted Zhongjinshi, to return to their hometown to visit their relatives, and gave Chiyi Finally, after the two brothers returned to their hometown, they met their mother Ye Ruren and stayed with them for five days before she died. Cui, Tingyi, Tingjian, Tingxuan, Tingbin, and Tingshi all come together to express their gratitude."
Yang Ting and his grandfather Yang Mei, his first wife Guo had two sons, Yang Yuan and Yang Zheng, all of whom died young.
Yang Mei married the Yang family for the second time and had no children. She married the Xiong family for the third time and had three sons, Yang Chun, Yang Hui and Yang Zhe.
Yang Chun was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Chenghua. His official name is not obvious. He is still alive today. Historically, he did not die of illness until the 11th year of Zhengde. Yang Chun can be said to be very fertile. The oldest is Yang Tinghe is forty years old.
Yang Chun’s wife, Ye Shi, and his concubine Wang Shi gave birth to twelve sons in total, but Wang’s two sons, Yang Tingli and Yang Tingzhong, were not qualified to jointly express their gratitude.
None of Yang Ting and his remaining brothers died in infancy.
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present were stunned.
The emperor previously transferred Yang Ting and his two brothers back to their hometown. Everyone felt that the emperor was deliberately suppressing Yang Tinghe and the traditional civil servant faction, and deliberately asked Yang Tinghe to give up his position as a Hanlin bachelor and hand it over to Wang Hao, but now Only then did they realize that the emperor had "taken great pains" to do this. He was really burdened with the ministers' incomprehension to fulfill Yang Tinghe's filial piety.
After Dai Yi finished reading the above table written by Yang Chun and Yang Ting together with their father and son.
There was total silence.
Zhu Youtang said, "I am deeply saddened by the bad news. I did not receive a report from the local government, and I did not know the news that Ye Ruren was seriously ill. However, someone reminded me that I must Let the ministers be more filial. This is what I did. Many people did not understand me before. I hope you all understand that the affairs of the court are important, and you must first cultivate your character and manage your family before you are qualified to govern the country and the world. "
"Please keep this in mind"
The ministers present felt that there were 10,000 mothers selling batches in their hearts, but they all hurriedly saluted and accepted the order.
Even life and death can be predicted in advance. He actually said that he does not know in advance whether there are ministers whose parents are still alive at home. In the future, there is no need to wait for the family to announce the funeral. You should know what the emperor wants you to go home.
