Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 65
Zhu Houzhao knew that he couldn't hide his actions from his father. After all, his father's imperial mind was still very powerful, and his own performance was also a little obvious.

"I just think that Tang Bohu is a pity!" Zhu Houzhao looked at his father, and then said: "This man has a rare talent, Xie Yuan from Nanzhili, I have heard of him a long time ago. This man is bold and generous. It may be a bit unrestrained, but many people don't know what's going on, but I have asked someone to check it."

"Tang Yin's parents, wife, son, and younger sister all passed away within two years. The originally harmonious and happy family is now the only one left."

After receiving this, Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at his father, and said, "Who can bear this matter? It's not easy to commit suicide."

"Tang Yin's father wanted to be able to study, to take the imperial examination, and to be able to shine in the family since he was a child. This Tang Yin is a descendant of Tang Jian, a famous official in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Yin also worked very hard since he was a child. He didn't want to disappoint his father. Perhaps Tang Yin just The imperial examination of father's last wish is left." Zhu Houzhao said here, and said with a wry smile: "But now he has been involved in fraud in the imperial examination again."

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youtang was also indifferent. Isn't this person too unlucky?It's nothing if a family member dies. The so-called moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have misfortunes and blessings.

But this Tang Yin had several relatives died in two years, and they were all close relatives like parents, wives and children, all of them died, Zhu Youtang couldn't help thinking of a possibility, and said to his son Zhu Houzhao: "Is this not the lone star of the evil spirit? Let someone give him orders to see!"

Looking at his father speechlessly, he didn't say anything, because Zhu Houzhao didn't know what to say. Could it be that there is no such thing in this world?People of this era can't explain it clearly.

"Tang Yin is a man who is arrogant because of his talent, and because of his bereavement, he is unrestrained, but his ministers don't believe that he cheated in the imperial examination. This man is really talented and learned. He is Xie Yuan from Nanzhili. He only came to the imperial examination at his father's behest, if he cheated in the mid-term exam, how would he explain to his father under the nine springs?"

Zhu Houzhao continued: "If he is severely punished, I will feel it is a pity!"

Zhu Youtang glanced at Zhu Houzhao, thought for a while and said: "Okay, leave this matter to the father!" Zhu Youtang thought for a while, and then said: "Originally, the father wanted to cut off their official status. , and then post them as petty officials to scare the ministers. Since you think you should leave some room, that’s fine too. Send them to the Northwest Army for the first three years! After three years, let them come back for the test, as you said , relying on talent and being proud of things, unrestrained, just going to the northwest to study."

Hearing his father's words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help thinking of a scene in his mind. Tang Bohu stood on the city wall in his long robe and shirt, opening his mouth to recite his favorite work.A gust of northwest wind blew through, raising yellow sand all over the sky, which directly poured into Tang Bohu's mouth.

"Father, Tang Bohu grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't die there again before being sent to the Northwest Army?" Zhu Houzhao said hesitantly.

People often say that the homeland is hard to leave. On the one hand, it is because of the nostalgia. On the other hand, it is also because of the unacceptable water and soil. People like Tang Bohu from the south of the Yangtze River go to the Northwest to eat sand. Even if he does nothing, the environment there is enough for him to drink a pot of.

This time, instead of agreeing to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youtang shook his head, and said in a solemn voice, "Those who achieve great things must suffer some hardships. Besides, it is not so easy to die. Don't worry! Listen to me!" Let me know, this Tang Yin is a man with a hard life, his whole family is dead, he is still alive, it is not so easy to die."

Zhu Houzhao was speechless immediately, what kind of hard-fated person meant the same thing as the lone star of Tiansha, but Zhu Houzhao also knew that this was the last concession of his father.

Anyway, this matter has to be punished, otherwise there is no way to explain it, and this is fine now, just to send him to the northwest to exercise, so as not to let him spend the whole day in a mess.

The father and son reached an agreement on this matter. They wrote down their handling opinions on the title book in their hands, and then put it on the other side. Zhu Youtang looked at his son, nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Your son of the Yanzheng Read it?"

"It's all here!" Zhu Houzhao nodded: "I asked them to classify, and all the papers about the salt administration are here!" Zhu Houzhao pointed to a stack of papers not far away.

Nodding his head, Zhu Youtang stretched out his hand to pick up the question book, then flipped through a few copies, and finally said helplessly: "You really have everything you can say!"

"It's normal!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Some people want power, some people want money, some people want everything, and some people don't want anything. It's hard to say whether it's okay or not!"

"Some people say that the establishment of the Yantie Department is a redundant official. Some people say that it is really beneficial to the management of the salt administration. Some people say that the Yantie Department should not be placed under the Ministry of Households. Return to the cabinet." Zhu Youtang laughed when he thought of this: "Are these because the power of the cabinet is too small?"

Zhu Houzhao heard the ridicule of these words. Obviously, the power of the cabinet is not small, very large, very large. If the Yantie Division is brought under the cabinet, it will set a precedent for the cabinet to be directly under the yamen, and the destructive power will be great. .

You must know that although the cabinet has weight, it is the emperor's secretary-type organization, which is an assistant. The cabinet has usurped power for so many years.If it were not for the separation of powers by other cabinet scholars, then the chief minister of the cabinet would be a veritable prime minister.

Since Yu Qian began, the power of civil servants has been strengthening, including the powerful cabinet bachelors, from Liu Jian to Yang Tinghe behind, from Yan Song to Xu Jie, and then to Zhang Juzheng behind, the emperor's power is gradually being controlled. weakened.

Emperor Jiajing fought all his life, but he wanted to get his power back. After Zhang Juzheng died, all the eunuchs sent by Emperor Wannianli were beaten to death, and finally nothing happened.It was not until Emperor Tianqi appointed Wei Zhongxian that he regained some power, but it was useless, and he died early.If the cabinet is directly under the yamen now, how powerful will the cabinet be?The emperor must be emptied.

"The person who came up with this strategy, I suggest sending it to Liaodong Wrangler!" Zhu Houzhao threw the question book aside and said angrily.

Seeing his son's appearance, Zhu Youtang also laughed, and then said: "It seems that the ministers disagree, so the Yantie Division can be established, but how to establish it is a question, what do you think?"

"Of course it is placed under the household department!" Zhu Houzhao said as a matter of course, Yantiesi still had to be placed under the household department, and this had to be done in name.
