When Zhu Hao returned to Beijing this time, Yang Shen did not go to greet him.
In Yang Shen's view, Zhu Hao was sent to the capital twice... once by Yang Tinghe who took the initiative to transfer him to Nanjing to investigate the case, and once when he was demoted by the emperor to work in the mines, which was tantamount to being disliked by the two major political factions in the DPRK and China at the same time.
, there is no political future at all, and the next step is probably that the emperor will find a reason to send him somewhere else.
Although Yang Shen felt that he was ashamed of Zhu Hao regarding the joint signature, since it had already happened, nothing could be done to make it up, so it was better to calm down and let Zhu Hao...
Go and fend for yourself!
You can still date in the future, but you don't have to have a deep friendship. This is good for yourself and Zhu Hao.
After all, Yang Shen knew that whoever he got close to in the court would be in trouble.
Tang Yin has been busy being his social partner recently and has not been able to take care of Zhu Hao for a while. He doesn't even know when Zhu Hao will return to Kyoto.
But Zhu Si urged him urgently. If he had nothing to do, he would ask Huang Jin or Zhang Zuo. Then he would say hello to the Jinyiwei people and ask them to protect him secretly. As soon as Zhu Hao returned to Beijing, he would immediately want to see him.
Zhu Si was full of information about building railways and manufacturing trains, and wanted to communicate with Zhu Hao.
But when Zhu Hao returned to Beijing this time, it was Sun Jiao who first came to see him.
Or through his daughter Sun Lan.
Zhu Hao and Cai Ang drank tea in the market, but found nothing. When they got home, they tidied up and prepared to catch up on some sleep. However, their wife Sun Lan told him that Sun Jiao wanted his son-in-law to visit him as soon as he came back.
The Yamen is still at home, and Sun Jiao can see him at any time as long as Zhu Hao comes back.
…
…
Zhu Hao didn't want to go to the Hubu Yamen.
It's not a big deal for him to return to the capital. It's not time for him to be in the limelight yet. Sun Jiao is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. As a Hanlin editor, wouldn't he just attract attention by joining the Ministry of Household Affairs?
Zhu Hao went to Sun Mansion to wait.
When Sun Jiao heard that his son-in-law had returned to Beijing, he went home early that day.
After Sun Jiao met Zhu Hao, he did not keep a straight face or lecture his son-in-law in a scholarly tone. Instead, he was very happy. He pulled Zhu Hao aside and insisted on showing Zhu Hao his recent collection of books.
Zhu Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Sun, just tell me if you have something to say."
"Does it mean that I have to come to you for something? Don't be so eager for quick success. I will specially call Liu Hanlin tonight, and the three of us will have a meal together and talk about things."
Sun Jiao was very enthusiastic.
Zhu Hao asked: "Who is Liu Hanlin?"
Sun Jiao smiled and said: "Who else? Isn't it the one you helped to join the cabinet?"
"Mr. Liu Ge...is he willing to reward you?"
Zhu Hao was a little surprised.
Sun Jiao said: "Others can't do it. It's just a matter of words for me to ask him to come. If I tell him that you are back, he will definitely come to visit happily. Recently, we have always mentioned you. He said that recently His Majesty accepted his proposal.
Many of them are basically not written by him personally, but His Majesty will basically adopt all his opinions... I think you are the one working behind the scenes, right?"
"hehe."
Zhu Hao could have denied it, but he didn't.
Liu Chung had just joined the cabinet, and his style of conduct was clear to Zhu Hao. Even if the draft was not written by Liu Chun, Zhu Hao could roughly judge from those statements who the summarized opinions came from.
Zhu Hao had no contact with this group of people openly, but secretly he had been dealing with them for more than a year and a half.
What is the style of the original four members of the cabinet in handling affairs, and their division of labor in the cabinet, such as who is responsible for which of the six ministries, local affairs, and matters involving money, food, and taxation, who belongs to them, who supplements them, and who does them
tidy……
The difference is clear!
Zhu Hao seems to be just an ordinary Hanlin, but he is equivalent to the eunuch who is responsible for etiquette, the eunuch who holds the pen, the eunuch who holds the seal, and the emperor.
With his keen observation and summarizing ability, if he couldn't even judge this, then his two years would have been in vain.
Sun Jiao sighed: "Previously when you were not in the capital, Zhu Pali rarely adopted Liu Renzhong's opinions, and he did a very miserable job in the cabinet. But when you come back, even if you are not in the capital, but in Xishan, many
If you adopt his opinion, I will know that you are behind it. But it’s okay. Now I see that he is more energetic. He carries a brilliance wherever he goes. No one who meets him will think that... he has died.
A once-in-a-lifetime person."
Sun Jiao now no longer interferes with Zhu Hao's review of memorials on behalf of Emperor Zhu Hao, but gradually accepts and praises them.
Zhu Hao took the initiative and asked: "I, a Confucian scholar, do this. Doesn't Mr. Sun think it's... inappropriate?"
"snort!"
Sun Jiao was a bit arrogant and rolled his eyes at Zhu Hao, "I used to think so, but seeing that you are managing government affairs in an orderly manner, you are indeed very impressive..."
"I don't know about other yamen. Let's just say that you have never made any mistakes in the household department and warehouse. And although your opinions are more radical than those proposed by the cabinet, and you always play some new tricks, but
As of the end of last year, the income and expenditure of the household department were obviously under control. This is very good."
As the Minister of Household Affairs, what do you care about most?
Of course, if the treasury is full, it is best to have some balance for planning for the future.
Apart from anything else, Sun Jiao was a good accountant, and he was not greedy. He would take whatever he had, and he would never hide any shortfalls below. This was because he had no intention of staying in the court for a long time, so why should he go out?
Do some shortfalls leave excuses for others?
Sun Jiao is more like a veteran cadre who was temporarily re-employed by the imperial court. He tries his best to resolve the matters at hand in a fair and equitable manner, in a non-stick manner, and is not afraid of offending anyone.
When there was a balance in the treasury, Sun Jiao was very satisfied and felt that he had become a big shade tree for future generations.
…
…
In the evening, Liu Chun came as expected.
Compared with the last time when Zhu Hao returned to Beijing, he took the initiative to greet him at the Hanlin Academy. This time Liu Chun was not as "crazy" as before. However, after seeing Zhu Hao, he was very happy and held Zhu Hao's hand and asked many questions.
"...I heard, Jingdao, that you have a good personal relationship with Eunuch Zhang, the Chief of Ceremonies?"
When Liu Chun said this, he couldn't help but glance at Sun Jiao.
It seems to be saying, I either heard what others said, or what your father-in-law said who was sitting there looking serious.
Zhu Hao smiled and nodded.
"That's no wonder. I have to say that this Eunuch Zhang is also a capable person. He must have neglected his talents when he was in Prince Xing's Mansion." Liu Chun sighed with emotion.
Sun Jiao couldn't help but look over.
What does it mean when you, an old boy, praise Zhang Zuo in front of my son-in-law?
I know that your cabinet has a lot of contact with the Director of Ceremonies, but don’t you think that Zhang Zuo’s ability is the result of others’ support behind his back?
And the person supporting you is the young champion sitting in front of you. I’m afraid you don’t know, right?
"By the way, Jingdao, you haven't been back to the library yet, have you? Those who returned to Beijing early yesterday are said to have gone back to perform their duties. Now there are rumors that you, the Hanlin, may be released... But you don't have to worry, I will
I will try my best to speak for you and let you continue to study in the library."
When Liu Chun said this, he couldn't help but look at Sun Jiao again.
What he meant this time was...Old Sun, this is probably the purpose of calling me here, right? I will take the initiative to take over this job without you asking!
"Hahahahaha..."
Sun Jiao burst out laughing.
Liu Chun thought to himself, are what I said so pleasant?
Are you, Sun Zhitong, so happy after hearing this?
You are smiling so big that your teeth are almost gone. You look like this, so you can only drink porridge, right? Although we are all old people, we age differently, and you look older.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what kind of external transfer or whatnot, as long as it's around the capital."
Liu Chun turned around and looked at Zhu Hao, slightly surprised: "If you were to be transferred abroad, could you still choose where to go?"
"hehe."
Sun exchanged a kind of laughter.
When Liu Chun heard this laughter, he felt panicked and couldn't understand why Sun Jiao was laughing.
Zhu Hao's heart was clear. Old Man Sun felt that he was standing in God's perspective, opening up all the fog to see the world. He suddenly felt like he was looking down at the mountains from a high place, so he was very proud of it.
Yang, regardless of how harsh the smile was, just kept laughing there.
Perhaps he shouldn't have told him so much in the first place. It was because Zhu Si was anxious to win over Sun Jiao and made a bad start. Later, because Sun Jiao was already his son-in-law, he didn't hide it from him anymore.
otherwise……
At this moment, Sun Jiao was probably just like Liu Chun, who was confused and couldn't tell the difference.
…
…
The dinner was very harmonious.
Liu Chun became a talkative person and kept talking. Although he was a guest like Zhu Hao, he had the highest status during the dinner and spoke without scruples. He mainly mentioned recent events in the capital.
"...This session of the examination is a bit hasty to say the least. It's coming to an end before I feel anything. The grading and so on, I feel like I'm not in control..."
Liu Chun suddenly mentioned that he would try.
Sun Jiao asked curiously: "Could it be that... Jie Fu interfered too much?"
Liu Chun shook his head: "Don't mention it. Jiefu didn't mention a word about this session of the conference. People in the hall talked about it more... But somehow, people among the people talked about it.
It's strange to say that there are people in the capital who are buying and selling test questions. The Rites Department has made a report to Zhong Zhong. It is said that they are still investigating, so it is unlikely that the matter will be settled."
Liu Chun's words surprised Sun Jiao.
Sun Jiao's usual concerns did not include this examination.
Love so and so.
No one in my family participated in the examination. Besides, the results of the examination have not been released. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the examination is a matter of the Ministry of Etiquette. We should not wait until the palace examination to worry about what the questions are and who will win the top prize.
?
"Will Dongchang and Jinyiwei investigate?"
Sun Jiao asked suddenly.
Liu Chun frowned.
Will the factory guard check it? You ask me?
How could I know!
Sun Jiao's words were obviously directed at Liu Chun, but he was actually asking Zhu Hao.
He actually wanted to know whether Zhu Hao would use this trial to make some articles.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Sun, if there are too many rumors among the people, I think your majesty will still care about it. Speaking of which...Mr. Tang suffered this loss back then, but most of the things he said were false."
It is equivalent to expressing his attitude to Sun Jiao in disguise, or the attitude of the emperor.
It is necessary to investigate, but the final conclusion is that "there is nothing" or "there is no evidence".
When it comes to Tang Yin, this is probably used as a case. Even if everyone can be happy in the end, the investigation process may be the same as in the twelfth year of Hongzhi. A thorough investigation will be done first, and people from all parties will be involved in the end...
Fortunately, this incident was used to involve Yang Tinghe.
Achieving political goals is more important than obtaining fair and just results.
