Chapter 61 Tang Bohu
Although he really wanted to know, Zhu Houzhao still didn't explore it. Some things are better not known. Zhu Houzhao understood this truth. As for the purpose of the other party letting him see this memorial, Zhu Houzhao pondered for a few days, and he seemed to be thinking about it in his heart. It made some sense, but after thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao broke into a cold sweat.
At night, Zhu Houzhao came to Qianqing Palace again to follow his father to approve the memorial, but this time Zhu Houzhao put the memorial back.
"Do you understand?" Zhu Youtang asked with a smile on his face as he watched Zhu Houzhao send the memorial back.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink. He makes noises in the east and strikes in the west. He uses his strength to fight. It's awesome!"
Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "Of course it's awesome, but this is just a test. It's testing you, and it's also testing my father. It's just a twist!" As he spoke, Zhu Youtang took the memorial in his hand. Inside: "Although Qi You hides secrets, there are some things that cannot be hidden from others."
"Qi You and Shouning Hou are very close. Many people know this. Everyone knows that Shouning Hou came to the palace to beg for salt. Shouning Hou failed and was scolded by you."
"This represents your attitude towards your ancestors, especially their attitude towards making money. At this time, Qi You proposed to establish the Salt and Iron Department. If you say that Shouning Hou is not involved, no one will believe it." He said. Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "So it's very simple to hand over this memorial. I just want to implicate this twelve-point statement."
"I didn't agree to the matter about your honorable relatives and Zhuang Tian last time. This time I just want you to convince me!"
Zhu Houzhao's heart skipped a beat. He was a group of old bastards. If he didn't ask his father for advice, then his previous personality would be fake. If he gave advice, they would take the opportunity to attack his ancestors. Anyway, no matter what they did, they would be able to touch him. Find out more about yourself as a prince, and then test your father's attitude.
The ministers all knew about the relationship between Qi You and Shouning Hou. How could others not know about it? Under such circumstances, it would be interesting to know how the emperor would treat this memorial.
If there is an edict to move the Qi You and give him a beating, it will prove that the emperor is dissatisfied with Shouning Hou's involvement in the salt administration, and Qi You may be directly transferred out. If he does not move, does not beat, and continues to stay in the center without making any changes, then It means that the emperor has acquiesced in this matter, and then people like themselves have to make a choice.
Whether you oppose or agree, you have to make a decision, but whether you oppose or agree, people like you know the emperor's attitude.
It was just that he was handed over a memorial of "Liu Zhong". There were so many twists and turns hidden in it that Zhu Houzhao wanted to scold Lao Yinbi again.
Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao who was gritting his teeth, smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "You have to get used to it. It is normal for monarchs and ministers to test each other. There are many things that cannot be discussed openly. They took one step, and the next It's our turn to go in one step, so think about how we should go."
Nodding slightly, Zhu Houzhao saw his father say this and knew in his heart that he had to find a solution for this matter himself, but he could put this matter aside for the time being, and the father and son continued to correct the memorial.
Soon Zhu Houzhao discovered an interesting memorial. This memorial was from Jinyiwei. It was actually about last year's imperial examination fraud case. Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the Ming Dynasty? After looking through the boring memorials for a long time, Zhu Houzhao was quickly attracted by this memorial.
This memorial came from Jinyi Guard Commander Moubin, who was ordered to investigate the case of the scandal. It clearly stated that there was no evidence of the scandal.
Of course, these are not what Zhu Houzhao is concerned about, because the two protagonists of the Huan problem that Zhu Houzhao is concerned about are the famous Tang Bohu and the other named Xu Jing. Many people may not know this person Xu Jing, but Zhu Houzhao knows it because
This person's descendant has a famous person.
This person's name is Xu Xiake, and Xu Jing is Xu Xiake's great ancestor. The Xu family where Xu Jing lives at this time is a member of the Xu family of Wucheng. This time the fraud in the examination room also means that the Xu family of Wucheng is a key figure in the transition from prosperity to decline.
, had a great impact on the Xu family, and Xu Jing’s experience could not have had a certain impact on Xu Xiake’s thoughts.
Of course, another person was also greatly affected. This person was Tang Bohu, which was a turning point in Tang Bohu's tragic life.
Different from the romantic and talented Tang Bohu in the movie, the real Tang Bohu in history was a big tragedy, a very, very tragic kind.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao's memory gradually recalled more things, such as the information about Tang Bohu that he randomly searched for in his previous life. Tang Bohu was actually a descendant of a famous family. The ancestor of the Tang family was General Tang Hui of Lingjiang, Jinchang County, Liangzhou, Qianliang Prefecture.
, this also directly affected Tang Yin, who often used the signature "Jinchang Tang Yin" in his calligraphy and painting titles.
In the early Tang Dynasty, his ancestor Tang Jian followed Li Yuan in revolting and was named "Gong of the State of Ju", so Tang Yin also called himself "Tang Sheng of the State of Lu".
Speaking of which, Tang Jian was also famous in the Tang Dynasty. He was one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. In the early years of Zhenguan, the imperial court sent Tang Jian as an envoy to persuade the Turks to surrender, and at the same time sent Li Jing to march. Li Jing made a surprise attack on the Turks and captured Jieli Khan alive.
Tang Jian escaped from the rebel army, which is what made Tang Jian famous.
In his previous life, Zhu Houzhao was quite surprised when he saw this. He did not expect that Tang Bohu was actually a descendant of Tang Jian.
In the Ming Dynasty, his ancestor Tang Tai served as the chief chariot driver of the Ministry of War and died in the battle of Tumubao. Most of Tang Tai's descendants were scattered in Baixia, Wuxian County, Suzhou, and they lived among the generations. Uncle Tang Tang was also born in this area, and his father Tang Guangde ran the business
A tavern. Tang Guangde hoped that his son would study, take the imperial examination, and revive his family name.
In fact, Tang Bohu lived up to his father's expectations. He ranked first in the Suzhou Prefectural Examination at the age of sixteen and entered Xiang to study. At the age of twenty-eight, he ranked first in the Zhongnan Zhili Township Examination and entered Beijing to take the National Examination the following year.
Tang Bohu's tragic life is mainly reflected in his relatives. In the fifth year of Hongzhi, Tang Bohu's father passed away, and his mother, wife, son, and sister also passed away in the past two years. His family gradually declined. Under the advice of his friend Zhu Zhishan, he concentrated on studying.
Preparing for the imperial examination, it can be said that Tang Bohu's imperial examination was carried out with the expectations of his father, mother, wife and son. This was his last wish.
This experience of Tang Bohu was similar to that of Hollywood superstar Keanu Reeves. However, the story of Keanu Reeves was fake news, while the story of Tang Bohu was true.
In fact, Tang Bohu was already a bit dissolute at this time. The deaths of his relatives one after another made Tang Bohu often dissolute, sleeping in flowers and willows all day long, as if he had lost his goal in life. Now the imperial examination is his goal, but now he has been eliminated by the imperial examination again.
