Chapter 550 Old Man Sun Wants To Save Face (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Sun Jiao did not believe that Zhu Hao played a role in it because he heard some rumors from Zhu Youji after the incident, saying that Tang Yin was the first to take credit for the incident.
That's why he looked at Tang Yin for verification.
Tang Yin sighed: "I feel ashamed to say that it was Zhu Hao who was behind the scenes at the beginning. Zhu Hao took the greatest credit for the early warning of the disaster and the use of troops. At that time, the late emperor was in charge, but most of the time it was Zhu Hao who stood by.
Commanding and dispatching, he shouldered the important responsibilities of the palace as a young man."
After Tang Yin finished speaking, Sun Jiao was even more surprised.
You must know that it is now the time when the new emperor ascends the throne, and everyone is competing for credit. As an aide to the emperor, Tang Yin also plays a vital role in Prince Xing's palace, but he will actually take the initiative to "give" the credit to Zhu Hao?
Sun Jiao said: "Then now he..."
Zhu Sidao: "Mr. Sun, in fact, Zhu Hao should have told you before that I asked you to return to the court not to ask you to do anything for me. Even if your opinions are contrary to mine on some things, I will not do anything."
The complaint is just to make Mr. Sun the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty. As for Zhu Hao, he does not obey me in everything in Hanyuan. In terms of public attitude, he supports Mr. Yang Ge."

"Um?"
Sun Jiao still found it incredible.
As soon as the little emperor came to power, he used the matter of the Great Ceremony to stir up trouble. The little emperor had been tormenting him for a long time, but he was so open-minded on the issue of attitude towards courtiers?
If you are really so tolerant, just don't argue with Yang Tinghe.
Zhu Si smiled and said: "Actually, Zhu Hao is actually saying that he is in Cao's camp and his heart is in Han... It may not be appropriate to say this, but that's it. He is behind some of the things about me in the past two days..."
"Ahem——"
Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin on the side cleared their throats at the same time to remind Zhu Si not to tell Sun Jiao about this.
What you feel so proud of, in the eyes of veterans like Sun Jiao, is bad rules and pure chaos.
Just do it yourself, Emperor, because Xiaoyi doesn't want to be the emperor and wants the Zen throne. It's your own choice to go back and support your mother.
But if you say that Zhu Hao taught you to do this, where do you place Zhu Hao, a minister? Tell Sun Jiao that in order to achieve success, Zhu Hao even did not hesitate to threaten the ministers with the issue of the emperor's Zen throne?
Since Zhu Si almost blurted out the words, Sun Jiao had a general understanding even before he finished speaking.
The unconventional way in which feelings were played out was not due to the new emperor's original intention, but to the advice given to the emperor by the new top scholar named Zhu Hao.
This kid...
The attack is quite vicious!
Zhang Zuo hurriedly changed the topic: "Sun Laobu Tang, when the late emperor was still alive, did he ever mention the heroes in the palace? For example, Zhu Hao?"
"have."
Sun Jiao did not hide anything.
Zhu Youjiao did mention to him at that time that there was an admirable child in the palace named Zhu Hao. Zhu Hao was just a student at that time. Even if Zhu Youjiao mentioned it, Sun Jiao would not have thought that this child would be there.
What role does it play in the Xingwangfu system?
But now he understood that if this child didn't really have extraordinary talents, how could Zhu Youqian be so proud to mention to outsiders that the father had found a good classmate for his son to be his right-hand man?
Now that I think about it, Zhu Youjia didn't mention Zhu Hao's name accidentally, but was bragging proudly in front of him.
Zhu Si raised his glass and said, "Come on, Mr. Sun, I'll toast you another glass."
Sun Jiao hurriedly raised his glass in return.
…
…
During the banquet, Zhu Si repeatedly mentioned the purpose of calling Sun Jiao back to the court, but he did not ask Sun Jiao to return to the court in the name of the emperor.
After the banquet, Zhu Si originally wanted to invite Sun Jiao to watch a play.
But someone came here to send a message, telling Zhu Si to send Sun Jiao back to the palace as early as possible. After all, it is extremely confidential for the emperor to leave the palace. If the emperor hangs out and enjoys the people outside the palace, it will inevitably make Sun Jiao think that you, the emperor, are not doing his job properly.
Zhu Si did not report it to Sun Jiao. Many memorials are now reviewed by Zhu Hao for me. If Sun Jiao knew about this, Zhu Hao's affairs would have to be made public and Zhu Hao would become a street rat.
Before parting, Zhu Si saw him off personally, and at the same time mentioned the matter of keeping Zhu Hao's identity secret.
"Mr. Sun, Zhu Hao is a member of the royal family, helping me to do great things. I also ask Mr. Sun not to mention it to outsiders, especially... Mr. Yang Ge."
Zhu Si spoke sincerely.
Sun Jiao bowed and saluted: "I understand."
The people around you have been used as spies to infiltrate Yang Tinghe and work as spies. If I explain it to the outside world, it will provoke a dispute between the two parties. With my smart and sophisticated acting style, would I do such a stupid thing?
But at the same time, he was thinking, you young people don’t really think Yang Tinghe is a fool, right?
Zhu Hao was born in a royal palace, wouldn't Yang Tinghe investigate this matter?
I'm afraid you think you are smart enough to successfully hide Zhu Hao's identity. In fact, Yang Tinghe already knew everything over there, but he just deliberately didn't expose it.
Zhu Hao... looks very smart, but who gave you the confidence on this issue?
Sooner or later you will be punished by Yang Tinghe for your double-dealing. I'm afraid the late emperor's favor with you is only temporary, right?
"Mr. Tang, please send Mr. Sun back home. I won't be going out. I have to return to the palace early." Zhu Si obviously wanted to go to the theater and listen to books, but he still had to show his diligence and self-restraint.
Tang Yin understood the rules, and after saluting, he and Sun Jiao respectfully sent Zhu Si off before turning back, and then the two of them walked to the gate of the official residence.
…
…
Sun Jiao originally thought that Tang Yin would definitely persuade him to stay in the court on his way back.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin and he were not riding in the same carriage.
After arriving at Sun Jiao's residence, Tang Yin just got off the carriage to see him off. Originally, Sun Jiao wanted to invite Tang Yin to sit in, but Tang Yin politely declined.
"Bohu, I have a question for you. If anyone asks about today's events..."
Sun Jiao was very hesitant. If someone asked me why I returned to the court in the future, what should I answer? Should I tell those ministers that the emperor had entertained me alone?
Tang Yin smiled and said: "It's better for Mr. Sun to decide these matters himself."
Sun Jiao was startled.
Then he immediately realized that Tang Yin was also an old fox, and he saw through some things but did not tell them.
Your Sun Jiaohui took the initiative to mention to outsiders that the emperor had hosted a private banquet? If Yang Tinghe knew about this, what would he think?
It would be strange if he didn't directly break you into the enemy camp!
So the new emperor only asked him not to tell anything about Zhu Hao, but he didn't tell him not to tell anything about today. If Sun Jiao really wants to say something, the emperor must be very happy, because if you spread the word, Yang Tinghe will naturally
You will be classified as a royalist, and then you will not even have the right to choose.
Then do you still say it?
Sun Jiao immediately felt a sense of embarrassment at being controlled by someone. In the past, he would have been very angry, but now he felt that there was nothing wrong with him.
This little emperor and the people around him make accurate decisions, and they don't doubt anyone even if they are suspicious. Such scheming and planning are really beyond the comparison of ordinary emperors. Such an emperor will either become a wise emperor or a faint emperor who will be infamous for thousands of years.
At least up to now, it seems that the new emperor is more likely to become the former.
A wise emperor, good at employing people, and able to do everything with foresight, it seems that it is quite difficult to destroy the Ming Dynasty's foundation.
Sun Jiao nodded, so he knew what was going on.
…
…
After entering the house and returning to the hall, his daughter appeared in front of him. Seeing that his face was red and his body smelled of alcohol, he hurriedly ordered the old servant to prepare a basin and dry cloth.
"Haha... no need."
Sun Jiao smiled and shook his head.
The daughter asked: "Why is father so happy?"
Sun Jiao said: "You don't understand. His Majesty summoned my father alone and asked him to go to a banquet. He talked a lot during the banquet."
When the daughter heard about the emperor, she looked reserved because she had been favored by Zhu Youjia and wanted to be Zhu Si's princess, but Sun Jiao rejected the idea. But now Zhu Si has become the emperor again. Her lifelong happiness can be said to be
Because I was delayed, I was naturally dissatisfied, but I didn't dare to express it externally.
"Your Majesty has treated me with such courtesy. Is my father ready to return to the court?"
the daughter asked.
Sun Jiao shook his head: "No, my father will continue to submit a memorial to resign."
This answer was beyond my daughter's expectations.
The emperor has treated you so politely, but you are still so stubborn. Are you really not afraid of the emperor's revenge on our Sun family? When we were in Anlu, the Sun family had offended Prince Xing's Mansion. Even if you are an old man and don't care, how can you be an official in the court?
Where is my brother? And my Sun family, don’t they want to be preserved?
…
…
Zhu Hao was always there that day.
It's just that he didn't show up or go to eavesdrop, but he probably understood what was going to be said at the banquet.
"Zhu Hao, if I treat him so kindly, he should return to the court directly, right? Your plan is really good. To win people's hearts like this, I believe no minister in the court will refuse."
Zhu Si was very proud.
I gave another good performance at the banquet.
Recently, he likes things on the stage very much. He feels that life is like a play, and if he applies it to reality, his acting skills will gradually improve unknowingly.
Zhu Hao shook his head: "No, he will continue to submit his resignation."
"ah!?"
Not to mention Zhu Si, not even Zhang Zuo, Huang Jin and others could understand.
The emperor has done his job, why should Sun Jiao continue to resign?
Zhu Sidao: "If that's the case, then what else do I see him doing? It's like I'm begging him in a low voice. He won't be so stubborn, right?"
Zhang Zuo also said: "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Sun spoke very well during the banquet. Is it because he leaked your information... that he feels that His Majesty is too hasty in hiring people? Impossible, can we?"
Everyone is praising you."
Zhang Zuosheng was afraid that Zhu Hao would blame them for breaking their previous agreement and bringing up Zhu Hao's existence.
At that time, Zhu Si completely wanted to win Sun Jiao's trust.
Zhu Hao shook his head and said: "That's not what I'm talking about. I don't mean that Mr. Sun is obsessed with it... Let's put it this way, any king who usurped the throne in ancient times would have to make a show of his words before accepting the throne. Mr. Sun before
With such a tough attitude, he must be given a step down. It makes people think that he has been unable to resign several times, and that he was forced by His Majesty to work as an errand, right?"
When Zhu Si heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "I understand, Mr. Sun is also a face-saving person, so I will follow his wishes and let him perform more times."
