Jinyi champion

Chapter 228 Asking about the plan (plus more)
When Zhu Hao returned to the palace, it was already dark.

He wanted to eat something casually to deal with it, but he had to sit at his desk and write dramas, preparing to make money for the winter leisure time before the next winter.

For people in this era, after the busy autumn, there will be a long and boring winter. Although people can go out of the house at this time, the weather is cold, the crops stop growing, and the snow and ice in the north is not good for walking. Everyone can only idle, and even the number of Lifu by the Han River has plummeted...

The winter leisure season is the spring of the entertainment industry. People have nothing to do, and listening to books and watching theaters become the main pastime.

Jinghong did not stay in the palace that day.

Zhu Hao is a day student now, and Jing Hong is actually the same. As an official son, there are horse-drawn carriages to pick him up and down. Basically, there is a holiday cycle of ten days. Now it is good to live in the palace for a day or two.

"Cough cough..."

There was a coughing sound from the yard.

Zhu Hao recognized Tang Yin's voice, and hurried out of the house to greet him. He thought Tang Yin was here to care about his grandfather's birthday when he went out of the city, but he found Tang Yin's complexion a bit unsightly after meeting him.

Entering the dormitory, Tang Yin, who was wearing glasses, looked around. In Zhu Hao's eyes, he looked a bit like an intellectual of later generations, and then Tang Yin sat down on Jinghong's bed.

"Just now there is news that Yuan Changshi has already driven through Jingshan County, tomorrow will catch up with the day's journey, and he will reach Anluzhou City before dark."

Tang Yin seemed to be just talking about Yuan Zonggao's situation, but in disguise he was talking about "business" with Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "It's a good thing that Yuan Changshi is back. The Palace should be prepared, right?"

Tang Yin said angrily: "You didn't mean to chat with me when you said that call earlier? Now Yuan Changshi is coming back, and the palace will soon select a new teacher. There are many things... Is it too late to dig a well when I am thirsty?"

This is where Tang Yin gets annoyed.

Said to join forces to deal with Yuan Zonggao.

But now Yuan Zonggao's people have arrived at the border of Anlu Prefecture, and they will return to Xingwang's mansion in a blink of an eye, but he has no preparations at all, which is a bit nonsense.

Zhu Hao could tell that Tang Yin had a sense of crisis, and maybe he had thought about it in the past two days. He felt that Yuan Zonggao's return would have a great impact on his status in the palace. Said it was Tang Yin's last haven of refuge.

Even if fighting with an old Confucian official who recommended him to the palace would hurt his face and reputation as a great talent in Tang Dynasty, he is still determined to face the difficulties in order to ensure his survival.

The idea was made up, but he found that he had no idea how to compete with Yuan Zonggao.

Originally, he was driven by Zhu Hao to put him on the shelf.

"Mr. Lu, you don't think about how to compete these few days, just to make up your mind, don't you think about food and drink?" Zhu Hao joked with a smile.

Tang Yin blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

It's fine to be taught a lesson by a young man, but the question is... Is Zhu Hao considered a young man?He is clearly still a child!

I, Tang, will one day get so mixed up that I have to listen to a child's strategy. If he doesn't give me advice, I will not be able to survive?
What's wrong with this world?
Seeing that Tang Yin was about to explode again, Zhu Hao stopped saying some "sarcasm", and said with a smile: "If you want to compete with Yuan Changshi, the key point is to find the opponent, know the enemy and know yourself..."

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, let's get straight to the point... You brought up this matter, don't use some clichés to prevaricate me."

Now Tang Yin can't listen to those nonsense such as "planning in the long run" and "knowing the enemy and knowing yourself".

Zhu Hao picked up the brush again, and wrote a word on the white paper where the play was supposed to be written: "Things!"

Tang Yin stood up and took a look, then asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean?"

Zhu Haodao: "May I ask Mr. Lu, how many relatively important things are there to promote the palace now?"

This is a question that is neither simple nor complex.

Tang Yin has been in the palace for some time, and recently he has taken on the duties of King Xing's right-hand man. If he doesn't even know about important matters in the palace, then he is an aide for nothing.

"There are three main things..."

Tang Yin tidied up his wording a bit, "The most important thing is the teaching of the son. I didn't think it in the past. Recently, King Xing has repeatedly asked about it. It seems that His Highness has put all his attention on the son's studies."

Zhu Hao nodded, and wrote on the white paper: "The son's homework."

Tang Yin was inspired and continued: "The more important thing to come down is to pay for the imperial court and help His Majesty fight in the northwest. The two thousand taels of silver have been converted into necessary military supplies and are being transported northward."

Zhu Hao wrote again: "Money and food."

"Furthermore... the autumn harvest is coming soon, the rent should be collected earlier, but the palace does not need to pay taxes to the court, and the grain will be deposited directly into the treasury."

After Tang Yin finished his summary, Zhu Hao didn't start writing.

Tang Yin looked over, his eyes full of doubts, as if he was asking, why didn't you write?

Zhu Hao pointed to the word "qianliang" with the other end of the brush, meaning that the storage of autumn grain is also included in the two words.

Tang Yin suddenly smiled wryly: "Zhu Hao, what the hell are you doing? You don't think that there are things I don't know about... King Xing concealed things from me and didn't tell the truth?"

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "Mr. Lu, you are the one who said three things, and I only remembered two, so you think I missed it? How important are the important things in the palace? Just be clear in your heart. ?”

Tang Yin felt very speechless.

"Then what else do you think?" Tang Yin asked directly.

Zhu Hao wrote the three characters "Yuan Zonggao" on the paper.

Tang Yin was taken aback.

Is this a big deal?
Zhu Haodao: "Everyone in the royal residence is preparing to welcome Yuan Changshi's return, and even specially prepared the reception ceremony and banquet. Isn't this a big deal?"

Tang Yin almost wanted to walk away.

Arguing with Zhu Hao about these trivial matters made him feel powerless.

"Then what do you want to say? You don't want me to choose one of them, to fight against Yuan Zonggao, and try to drive him out of King Xing's mansion, so that King Xing will obey me from now on, right?"

Annoyed, Tang Yin simply uttered all the true thoughts in his heart.

Outrageously direct...

Zhu Hao nodded in satisfaction, as if to say, congratulations, you got the answer right.

Tang Yin has self-restraint, he can see it, Zhu Hao seems to have a plan, it can only show that he is too anxious, if he wants to deal with Yuan Zonggao, doesn't he want to start with the matter of the palace?If I don't carefully look for breakthroughs in the major events that are happening or are about to happen in the palace, do I have to find a way from outside the palace?

"These three things..."

Tang Yin looked at the words written on the white paper, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Zhu Hao, what is your font?"

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Does it look familiar? I wrote it in imitation of Tang Yin and Tang Bohu's handwriting... so if anyone finds this note, they will definitely not think it was written by me."

Tang Yin: "..."

"I've seen it all, why keep it?" Zhu Hao picked up the paper, put it on the candle and lit it, and it was only after it was burned to ashes that Tang Yin came to his senses.

This kid actually imitated my writing?It's come to the point where I can't even notice it?This... who is this evildoer?
"Boom!"

Zhu Hao patted the table with the bluestone paperweight: "Let's get down to business."

Tang Yin became serious, and said: "Among these three things, Yuan Changshi returned to the palace, and I can't use it... The money and food provided by the palace to support the Northwest Frontier did not go through my hands. What can be done is Shizi's homework, as you said before, how Shizi treats me is very important, so I have been thinking about how to change the teaching method these days."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Hao, like an innocent boy who just confessed his love to the girl he loves, full of anticipation in his heart, waiting for the other party to give an affirmative answer...

I'm afraid the answer is no.

that hesitation...

It's so cute!
However, Zhu Hao can always give Tang Yin unexpected remarks: "Mr. Lu, dare to ask, what do you think Yuan Changshi will do first after returning to the palace?"

Tang Yin was a little ashamed.

I seriously analyzed it with you, but you always told me that there is something and nothing. It sounds reasonable, but it is almost nonsense!
"Zhu Hao, can you seriously discuss the matter with me? What's the point of asking such plausible questions? How do I know what Yuan Changshi will do first when he returns to the palace? Do I have to infer that he first entered the palace? Left foot or right foot?" Tang Yin's tone was a little impatient.

This is the reason why Zhu Hao refused to tell Tang Yin directly.

Tang Yin still put himself in an exorbitant position, and talked about things with his nominal disciple. The two parties seemed to be on equal footing, but in fact they still looked down on Zhu Hao.

You can't straighten out your mentality, and you always ask me for advice in a pretentious manner. It seems that you respect me, but you have considered that I will tell you the correct strategy. Will you strictly implement what I say?Are you sure you won't implement my plan according to your way because of your arrogance, and the difference is a thousand miles away?

Zhu Hao's tone was calm: "Although Yuan Changshi has only been away from the palace for half a year, many things have happened in the palace during this period. After returning to the palace, shouldn't the first thing he do should be to establish his prestige?"

"what?"

Tang Yin was taken aback.

"Zhu Hao, the new official has three fires. I know that Yuan Changshi will show his prestige after returning to the palace, but it needs you to say it?" Tang Yin pondered for a while, and Zhu Hao's analysis made sense, but he didn't think What a useful message.

Zhu Hao said: "I don't want to say, how do you think about it? The next question, if you want to re-establish his prestige in the palace, what should he do? Or, who should he attack first?" ?”

Tang Yin thought about it again, pointing to himself: "Me?"

Zhu Hao smiled contemptuously, and Tang Yin immediately realized that this was not an accurate answer.
