Wang Hao was actually speaking for Liang Chu, his "subordinate".

Unbeknownst to others, Wang Hao knew very well what the three cabinet ministers were thinking.

No matter how incompetent we are, we can't admit that others are too capable. Doesn't that make us even more incompetent?

The best result is actually that Zhang Zhou provided a "master copy", and nominally you took the credit, but in fact it was after we forcibly made significant additions and changes to your manuscript and then completed the "fine revision". At that time, we shared the credit.

Only then can you feel more at ease.

And what did Liang Chu mean?

He directly said that he could publish it after he went back and researched it.

Does that mean that whether there are people from the Hanlin Academy or cabinet ministers, there is actually no essential help in compiling this book?

"If additions and changes are to be made, how will it be done? Or in other words, how long will it take?" Liu Jian came out and made the final decision.

We just want to make additions and changes.

Even if it is forced to make additions and changes, we must make additions and changes. This is the last dignity of our ministers who are born in government offices.

Liang Chu looked at Wang Hao, as if he didn't quite understand what Liu Jian meant. Finally, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to complete this matter if I come down here."

Xie Qian frowned and said: "You are a book repairer. If you can't finish it, who else can finish it?"

Xie Qian was also anxious.

Why is it that Cheng Minzheng is not just there to sing the opposite tune? He is a "rebel" to begin with, but you, Liang Chu, are really good at it. We planned to cultivate you well, but you also said that you can't do it?

Although Liang Chu felt aggrieved, he still had no choice but to say: "From the time when the imperial court prepared to revise the Huidian, the main responsibility was completed by Bachelor Cheng. When Cheng was busy with other matters, he was busy editing the Huidian.

The author relies heavily on Jie Fu, and now that Mrs. Jie is not in the capital, if I rashly forcibly revise this manuscript, I am afraid that it will... make people laugh."

"well!"

Xie Qian sighed, looked at Liu Jian and Li Dongyang next to him, and said with emotion, "It seems that His Majesty had ulterior motives when he asked Jiefu to return to Sichuan."

Wang Hao frowned.

What do you mean by thanking Yu Qiao? Are you targeting me?

Both Liu Jian and Li Dongyang understood Xie Qian's words. At that time, they felt that the emperor sent Yang Tinghe away to help Wang Hao ascend to the throne. But now, after Zhang Zhou presented the "Da Ming Huidian", they suddenly realized that Wang Hao should not be an imperial scholar.

A bachelor's degree doesn't seem to be that important. No matter what Wang Hao said, he was still the top scholar in the eleventh year of Chenghua, an old Hanlin who had been working hard in the Hanlin Academy for more than 20 years.

Wang Hao's rise to power will not affect the reputation of the Hanlin Academy system.

But now a "Da Ming Huidian" is almost going to overthrow the entire Ming Dynasty Hanlin system.

Seeing that everyone around him was silent, Xie Qian asked, "Is it too late to urgently send my husband back to Beijing now?"

Li Dongyang said: "It's too late, so I have to transfer it. I should mention this matter to His Majesty as much as possible, and wait for Yang Jiefu to return to Beijing before making a decision. Jizhi, what do you think about this matter...?"

Now Li Dongyang doesn't care about any little infighting with Wang Hao, they are all on the same boat.

If this "Da Ming Hui Dian" is really published, everyone will lose face. We must advance and retreat together on this matter.

Wang Hao sighed: "I'm afraid your Majesty's side...it's hard to tell."

Wang Hao wanted to remind them that what Zhang Zhou has brought out now is the entire "Da Ming Hui Dian". Even if you want to find ways to delay it and say that you need to proofread and add to it, don't forget that the emperor only gave you two days. Now

But we want to use this to delay Yang Jiefu's return to Beijing? Doesn't that mean we have to wait a month or two?

Why should the emperor not take the credit for revising the classics and let you civil servants delay?

Could it be said that when Yang Tinghe returned to the capital, the additions and changes to this book would have a great effect?

Liu Jiandao: "This matter requires you to firm up your opinion first."

This is putting pressure on Wang Hao.

Okay, please stand with us. Our cabinet represents the highest authority in the civil service, and you represent the Hanlin Academy, which compiles books. Let’s talk about it together. There are still areas worth discussing in this book, and we should raise them with the emperor.

If we want to postpone the review, will the emperor not give us face?

Wang Hao smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, nothing good happened after taking office... Wang Hao suddenly understood the various difficulties Cheng Minzheng had encountered.

"That's not enough. After revising the book, I still have to talk to...Bingkuan." Liu Jian also changed his name to Zhang Zhou. It's not so harsh. He should treat Zhang Zhou as one of his own. It doesn't matter if he doesn't.

Now, someone who can easily produce the entire "Da Ming Hui Dian" might come up with something next. If the relationship is at loggerheads, it's not like they can sit down and negotiate like they are now.

"Who is going?" Liang Chu asked.

Xie Qian next to him almost wanted to say, go ahead.

Wang Hao took the initiative to take on the job and said, "I'd better let you go. Bingkuan and I have a relationship as masters. Speaking of which, I have never visited him alone."

The three cabinet members could also see that Wang Hao was suffering from this matter.

Zhang Zhou had never visited Wang Hao alone, but now he asked a person who was a teacher to take the initiative to visit the students. How embarrassing would it be to say that?

Xie Qian smiled and said: "Jizhi, speaking of which, before Bingkuan won the first prize, I visited him and was turned away by him. It's not a big deal. It's all Hanyuan to have a good talk with him.

Zhongren, what can't you say?"

Li Dongyang almost wanted to pull Xie Qian away.

Thanks to Yu Qiao, now is not the time for you to talk nonsense. You are simply adding salt to Wang Jizhi's wounds.

Liu Jiandao: "Ji Zhi, I will leave this matter entirely to you. Once things are done, this memorial will be written by the cabinet. You don't need to worry about the proposal."

It means that you are only responsible for talking to Zhang Zhou.

After appeasing Zhang Zhou and making him agree to postpone the publication, our cabinet will handle the rest for the Hanlin Academy.

"Write a letter immediately," Li Dongyang said, "I am urgently recruiting my husband to return to Beijing."

…

…

Wang Hao still took an official sedan and went to Zhang Zhou's house to pay a visit in person.

For Wang Hao, this step was actually not too difficult. He had already thought about many things and wanted to explain them clearly to Zhang Zhou. In particular, he wanted to know what role Zhang Zhou played behind his becoming a Hanlin bachelor.

What role.

When Wang Hao arrived, Zhang Zhou had already greeted him personally before delivering the invitation.

For no other reason than that Sun Shangqi knew the sedan chair of Wang Hao's family. When he saw Wang Hao's sedan approaching the door, he hurried to notify Zhang Zhou.

After all, Sun Shangqi was also a member of the Imperial Guard, and he understood the rules of the officialdom. If a master personally visits a student, if the student does not show enough etiquette, it will have a great impact on the reputation.

"Scholar Wang." Zhang Zhou saluted Wang Hao respectfully.

"Bingkuan!"

Wang Hao smiled apologetically.

Zhang Zhou respectfully invited Wang Hao into the courtyard. The former examiner and examinee were still in a superior-subordinate relationship, but their status and influence in the court...Wang Hao knew that he could not compare with Zhang Zhou.

And this time Wang Hao also understood that he came to "ask for help".

Zhang Zhou invited Wang Hao to the main hall, followed all the etiquette, and asked: "Scholar Wang has something to do. You can explain it in the Hanlin Academy, or just inform the students."

Wang Hao said: "Bingkuan, you don't have to be humble. I chose you as Jieyuan because of your talent. I am just selecting officials for the court. I came to you today about the "Huidian". Today, your majesty has sent "Huidian" to you."

The complete copy of "Huidian" was handed over to the cabinet, and Liang Chuliang and I went through it together..."

Wang Hao gave an overview of what happened that day, and finally said bluntly, "The intention of the cabinet is that after Yang Jiefu returns to the court, he will be responsible for the fine revision of "Huidian". After all, the previous revisions were all done by

He will carry out the main task."

Zhang Zhou nodded in understanding and said: "Replying the book does not happen overnight. It is natural to wait for Shi Yang to return to the court. It's just..."

"Just what?" Wang Hao thought Zhang Zhou was going to refuse.

Zhang Zhou sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that if Yang Shitao is in his hometown, something will delay him and he won't be able to come back for a year and a half."
