Before Zhu Hao's appointment as head of the household department was confirmed, Yang Tinghe arranged for him to become the prefect of Yongping Prefecture in a blink of an eye.
Jinshi, especially the number one scholar. After serving as an official for two years, he was transferred to the head of the household department. It is indeed too low. If he were a second-class Jinshi, he might not feel that he was treated poorly. The problem is that Zhu Hao is both a top scholar and a top scholar, and he has always been
He tried his best to help Yang Tinghe, and whenever there was a joint impeachment matter, he always took the lead.
If Zhu Hao was directly transferred to be the head of the Household Department, Yang Shen would feel that he was treating his friend badly.
But if Zhu Hao is transferred to be the prefect of Yongping Prefecture, everything will be much normal.
But the problem still lies in the fact that Zhu Hao, a dignified scholar, was transferred out of the Hanlin Academy to serve in a local area without any fault, which was tantamount to a kind of "exile", which meant that Zhu Hao was not appreciated by the officials in charge of the court.
In order to smoothly transfer Zhu Hao out, Yang Tinghe then approached Sun Diao to discuss matters.
Sun Jiao met Yang Tinghe in the Hubu Yamen.
When Sun Jiao learned that Yang Tinghe's purpose was not just to talk about the northwest write-off this year, but also to talk about his son-in-law Zhu Hao, Sun Jiao was very surprised: "Don't you want Jing Dao to be the head of our household department? Why?
Want to be transferred again? Jiefu, you also know that he is my grandson’s son-in-law. I want to keep him in the capital for a few more years. For no other reason than that he can sit down with me and talk about court affairs, which is also a kind of kindness for him.
Tips."
In Sun Jiao's view, Zhu Hao was of great value to the Xinhuang system.
If this good son-in-law is transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, then his grandson Jiao can take the opportunity to influence Zhu Hao. In this way, Zhu Hao may gradually enter the official mode he desires under his control.
But if Zhu Hao is transferred to Yongping Prefecture as the prefect...
Then Zhu Hao would become a wild horse, and it would be difficult for him to continue to be favored by the emperor. This would not only be detrimental to Zhu Hao's career, but also detrimental to Zhu Hao's entry into the correct career track. It is really not advisable.
Yang Tinghe said sincerely: "Jingdao has been in the court for two years and has made some achievements. If he continues to stay in Hanyuan, he will inevitably develop a passive and lazy temperament, so he should be transferred to a place that needs him more. The mining kiln opened by the Yongping Mansion is owned by the court.
The place where he needs to be controlled is not far from the capital, which is perfect for him to show off his skills."
Sun Jiao said: "Jiefu has decided, must he be transferred?"
"yes!"
Yang Tinghe answered very directly.
"Heh, what do you want to say to me? Give me a message and let me be mentally prepared? No matter what, Jingdao is still a child. There are many things he doesn't understand in the officialdom, and he needs someone to help him... These two people
Didn't Nian do a lot for you? Is this how you take care of him?"
There was annoyance in Sun Jiao's tone.
It's not worth it for Zhu Hao.
But if you think about it carefully, Zhu Hao secretly tried to undermine Yang Tinghe, because he was in Cao's camp and his heart was in the Han Dynasty. If Yang Tinghe knew about it, it would be polite not to kill him.
If it's just an external call now...
Does this mean that Yang Tinghe already knows the identity of Zhu Hao's second and fifth son?
All Sun Jiao's words were more of testing Yang Tinghe.
Yang Tinghe did not care about the issue of superficial position. As for how he wanted to use Zhu Hao, he did not need to explain too much to Sun Jiao.
Yang Tinghe's tone became cold: "If Brother Zhitong wants to use Jingdao in other ways, he needs to express it to His Majesty in advance. Otherwise... everything must be subject to the arrangements of the officials. But as far as I know, Your Majesty has no regard for this group of Hanyuan people.
There are too many people and I am impatient. I have long wanted to transfer people out. If you want to request it, go to His Majesty in person and ask for it. It may be effective."
At this point, Yang Tinghe no longer needed to explain too much to Sun Jiao.
This notice has also been notified to you, which shows my respect for you, but it does not mean that I want to listen to your opinions.
He is your son-in-law, not your son. Even if it is your son, does he still need to ask you for instructions when he needs to be transferred from outside? Now you, Mr. Sun, want to start your own business. Even if you think I am cutting your wings, what can you do?
…
…
After Sun Jiao met Yang Tinghe, he was very angry, but he couldn't do anything.
I had planned a lot for Zhu Hao, and even planned how to give advice after Zhu Hao entered the household department, and used some methods to firmly tie Zhu Hao to the household department, so that Zhu Hao could manage the money for the court, and gradually
Zhu Hao has transformed from a prime minister and assistant decision-maker to a capable person at the executive level.
Sun Jiao did not intend to drag his son-in-law back, but he felt that doing so would ensure Zhu Hao's stable career.
Being at the decision-making level, with what Zhu Hao is doing now, he will have quarrels with the emperor sooner or later in the future. At that time, conflicts between the emperor and his ministers will be inevitable. Only by removing Zhu Hao from the decision-making level can Zhu Hao avoid getting into trouble in the future to the greatest extent.
but now……
During the court meeting the next day, Sun Jiao waited for someone to mention Zhu Hao's transfer.
But Zhu Hao's official position arrangement was not a critical matter. Even if Yang Tinghe played many tricks on the issue of using Zhu Hao, there was still no proposer in the court.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has actually entered a transfer list of officials in Beijing, which involves some personnel arrangements for officials taking the three-year exam. This is actually the case every year in the examination year.
Sun Jiao guessed that Zhu Hao might be involved. No one mentioned it now, so he couldn't say anything.
At the end of the court meeting, when Sun Jiao was on his way out of the palace, the eunuch Huang Jin, the eunuch Huang Jin, the eunuch Bingbi, ran over and stopped him.
"Sun Laobu Tang, Your Majesty invites you."
Huang Jin kept his voice as low as possible in front of all the officials.
Although Huang Jin's appearance was considered low-key, the crux of the matter is that what he did was not low-key. When Sun Jiao and Yang Tinghe were forming a factional game, the emperor summoned Sun Jiao alone. Doesn't it mean that the emperor intended to use Sun Jiao to replace Yang Tinghe in controlling the dynasty?
Hall?
"Um."
Sun Jiao nodded slightly and looked around.
The people in the cabinet had already gone to the cabinet department for duty, and other officials also looked over, with various meanings in their eyes that were difficult to understand.
Sun Jiao gathered his mood and went to see the emperor.
…
…
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Si was sitting at the desk, with a large pile of memorials in front of him, and he was holding one copy there in a daze.
When Sun Jiao appeared, Zhu Si slowly put down the memorial, raised his head, smiled slightly, waved his right hand, and gestured: "Mr. Sun, sit down."
"Don't dare."
Sun Jiao bowed hastily.
Zhu Si waved his hand again, and someone immediately brought a chair over so that Sun Jiao could sit down.
Sun Jiaocheng was frightened, and after the emperor urged him to invite him, he sat down with a reserved expression.
Zhu Sidao: "Regarding the transfer of Zhu Hao in Hanlin Compilation, the Sun Qing family should know that Mr. Yang Ge insisted on this. He first planned to arrange Zhu Hao to be the head of the household department and transfer him to your door, but when he saw that I was
After the Hanlin Academy approved the personnel transfer, it was decided to make Zhu Hao the prefect of Yongping Prefecture. Now the Ministry of Civil Affairs has officially submitted the title book and is waiting for my final approval."
"Then your Majesty..."
Sun Jiao was very nervous.
From Sun Jiao's point of view, he didn't want to agree to this matter. Let Zhu Hao stay in the capital. Both the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Revenue were still under control. How could he be transferred to Yongping Prefecture as the prefect?
Zhu Si smiled: "Let Zhu Hao decide on his own. Anyway, he has always approved this kind of thing."
Sun Jiao: "..."
"Sun Qing's family, are you surprised? Don't be surprised. Jingdao is capable and can take on such a responsibility. In fact, I don't want him to leave. I went to Yongping Mansion. It will take a day and a night to go to the capital.
It's troublesome to send a message, I really can't live without him, but the situation is like this, I can't force him to stay."
Zhu Si looked helpless.
Sun Jiao really wanted to say, since you can't live without him, why should you let him make the decision? What if he agrees?
But thinking about it from another perspective, the emperor used Zhu Hao to such an extent and asked Zhu Hao to be transferred outside. It might be considered as helping Zhu Hao stay away from the place of right and wrong.
After listening to Jun's words, Sun Jiao's whole body became tangled and tense, and his mood was not up and down. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
I don't want my son-in-law to be transferred out of the country, but my son-in-law is playing with fire. Letting him leave the capital is tantamount to putting out the fire on him. So should I put it out, or should I not put it out and let the fire continue to burn?
My son-in-law says he can control everything, but can he really control the heat?
"Say it another way." Zhu Sida said,
"Jingdao's foreign policy means that Mr. Yang Ge's time in the government will not be long. It is precisely because he knows that he has to leave that he has made so many small moves in recent days. In addition, Mr. Jiang Ge's side seems to have risen strongly recently. Perhaps he is preparing to arrange for his succession.
Let’s be human.”
Sun Jiao said: "Your Majesty, these things are just nonsense. All ministers are serving the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Si asked back: "Is Sun Butang serving the Ming Dynasty?"
This question...
Sun Jiao didn't even want to think back: "Yes."
Zhu Si smiled and said: "Then when the interests of Ming Dynasty conflict with my interests, will Mr. Sun work for Ming Dynasty or for me?"
"this……"
Sun Jiao didn't expect that the young emperor liked to mince words. After thinking for a while, he said, "The Ming Dynasty is your Majesty, and your Majesty is the Ming Dynasty. There is no conflict of interest."
Zhu Si continued to laugh: "It is very difficult to explain this kind of issue in a flawless manner... Let me ask you this, if what I stand for is different from what Mr. Yang Ge stands for, is that considered a conflict of interest? For example,
Regarding the issue of who should be the Governor of Xuanda, both I and Mr. Yang Ge are doing business and have selfish motives, so how can there not be a conflict? Since we are both serving me, why should Mr. Yang oppose me?
What about your claim?”
Sun Jiao didn't like to dwell on such trivial issues.
Do you understand the official language?
Official language is just a cliche. You can say it over and over again. If it's more plain, it's just slogans. Whoever takes it seriously will lose. How come you, a little emperor, are still so naive?
Zhu Si sighed: "It's rare that Jingdao always puts my interests first when thinking about things. Even if he opposes me for a moment, the final result must be my benefit. This was the case when I was the crown prince of Prince Xing. Now as a
Emperor, this is still the case."
Sun Jiao thought to himself, it's impossible, right?
Zhu Hao and you grew up together, how can you two not have any conflicts at all?
It's just because you are still in the "honeymoon period" now. The monarch and his ministers have to work together to drive away Yang Tinghe and other civil servant groups. That's why you are so tired. When only Zhu Hao is left in the court to cover the sky with one hand, you can try again.
try!
Zhu Si smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Sun, prepare to see Jingdao off. This time he is leaving to be the prefect, and he will probably come back in a few months. When he comes back, the seat of Hanlin bachelor will be his."
