Xu Jie returned to the Hubu Yamen that afternoon to do some handover work before leaving.
As the head of the household department, Xu Jie did not achieve much during his time in the household department, but he did a lot of hard work. He was a hard-working person who did not complain. This time when he returned to the household department, he wanted to meet Sun Jiao.
Apart from anything else, Xu Jie directly connected with Shangshu in the Ministry of Household Affairs and could be said to be the top boss of the unit. Although the civil servants now felt that Sun Jiao was an alien in the court, Xu Jie didn't care. He had no identity or background.
It can be considered a great honor to be guarded by a minister of the Ministry of Finance who will not last long.
This is why he spoke for Zhu Hao even though he knew that he might offend the Zhang brothers, because he knew that the reason why Sun Jiao helped him was precisely because he was a friend of Sun Jiao's son-in-law Zhu Hao.
"Zisheng, someone from the Hanlin Academy is here, saying they are looking for you."
Just when Xu Jie finished the handover, he learned that Sun Jiao had not come to the Hubu Yamen in the afternoon. He was slightly disappointed. When he was preparing to go back to his hometown directly in the next day, he received a piece of news that shocked him a little.
"who?"
Xu Jie asked.
The man smiled and said, "It seems to be Yang Daidao of the Hanlin Academy."
Xu Jie originally thought that people from the Hanlin Academy were here to summon him back. When he heard that it was Yang Shen who had arrived, not only did he not feel honored, but he also felt that he was in trouble again.
After leaving the Hubu gate, I saw Yang Shen and Ye Guizhang on the street.
After Zhu Hao left the Hanlin Academy, Ye Guizhang became the most respected person around Yang Shen. Xu Jie instinctively wanted to keep a distance from these two people.
"I've seen Shi Yang talk about it."
Xu Jie did not call Yang Shen by the affectionate name "Yong Xiu", and spoke in a very stiff tone.
Yang Shen didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Zisheng, I heard that you will go back to your hometown tomorrow to visit your relatives and get married. This is a generous gift for you... Well, this is the court's message. You
You can go back to the Hanlin Academy to edit it again."
"What?"
Xu Jie was overjoyed.
It turns out that what Zhu Hao said was true. He was really transferred back to the Hanlin Academy?
After receiving the text from the Hanlin Academy, Xu Jie was filled with excitement after reading it. He immediately looked at Yang Shen and Ye Guizhang with gratitude. He had previously regarded the two as savage beasts, but now he suddenly felt that the other was so cute.
Ye Guizhang smiled and said, "Although Zi Sheng's return to Hanyuan will not last long, when you come back from your hometown, we will work with you for a long time in the future."
"Yes Yes."
Xu Jie was very happy.
Returning to the Hanlin Academy means that he can go back to his hometown to get married under the name of Hanlin Academy. At the same time, he can also get help from Yang Shen and Ye Guizhang, two prominent figures in the Hanlin Academy. This means that he has a backer. This is really a blessing from heaven.
Yang Shen patted Xu Jie on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Do your best in the future."
The intention to win over is very obvious.
Of course Xu Jie thought that this was the result of Yang Shen's operation behind the scenes, and he couldn't help but think about it. No wonder the Tang master didn't know about my transfer back to the Hanlin Academy. It turned out that this matter was mediated by Mr. Yang Ge, so I
It is time to change the previous prejudice.
While excited, Xu Jie suddenly remembered something. Why did Yang Shen only transfer himself back to the Hanlin Academy, but not Zhu Hao? Why did he tell Zhu Hao about it first and let Zhu Hao tell him?
Aren't you sad?
He suddenly felt a little sorry for Zhu Hao.
"By the way, Brother Yongxiu, I don't know how to respect him..."
Xu Jie mentioned someone who shouldn't be mentioned again.
Yang Shen frowned and said, "Why do you mention Jingdao? He is now working for the court, which can be regarded as fulfilling his responsibility to maintain fairness and justice."
The tone of his voice was obviously alienated from Zhu Hao.
When Xu Jie heard this, he immediately paid attention and asked: "Then...does Jingdao know about my return to the Hanlin Academy?"
Yang Shen smiled and said nothing, and Ye Guizhang on the side said, "Don't mention it to him... What he is doing now is all bad things. If he knew that you were going back to Hanyuan and he couldn't go back, he would probably feel bad. Besides, the people of the imperial court
The tune has just been issued and we will come to see you as soon as we get the news. How could he know about it?"
Zhu Hao doesn’t know?
Then why did Zhu Hao tell him about this two hours ago?
What's the trick in it?
"Well, you have to leave tomorrow and return to the Hanlin Academy to spice up your trip back home. Why don't we find a place to sit down and have a drink?"
Ye Guizhang suggested with a smile.
But the other two people obviously had no plans to party.
Yang Shen is a very busy man now. He is everywhere from the cabinet to the six yamen. Xu Jie is eager to return home, so naturally he is not in the mood to make connections.
After a brief conversation, the three of them said goodbye at the door of the house.
…
…
Xu Jie returned to the Hubu Yamen.
When I came out, I was disgraced, but when I came back, I held my head high and my chest high.
After passing second place in the exam, he was transferred to the Household Affairs Department as the head of the Household Affairs Department before his position as an editor in the Hanlin Academy became popular. The frustration he felt during this period was wiped away at this moment.
When he informed his colleagues about the news, they all looked at him with envy.
While they were talking here, Sun Jiao came in from outside.
Everyone quickly stepped forward to salute.
Sun Jiao was just passing by and went back to his office. He looked up and saw Xu Jie. He greeted Xu Jie and let him into his room. This made his colleagues envious.
This guy went from being the head of the household department back to the Hanlin Academy as an editor. Even the minister of the household department looked at him with special eyes.
"Sunbudang..."
When Xu Jie arrived at Shangshu's private office, he wanted to express his gratitude to Sun Jiao for cultivating and supporting him these days.
Maybe he can return to the Hanlin Academy, and Sun Jiao also helped behind the scenes.
Sun Jiao said: "You are going back to your hometown tomorrow, are you ready?"
Xu Jie smiled and nodded: "Everything is ready, but we have to go to Hanyuan tomorrow before we can make the trip."
"Hanyuan?"
Sun Jiao was puzzled.
Only then did Xu Jie realize that Sun Jiao did not know that he had been transferred back to the Hanlin Academy.
So Xu Jie showed Sun Jiao the imperial edict from the Hanlin Academy in person.
After Sun Jiao read it, a cryptic smile appeared on his face, as if he knew who did this.
"I have returned to the Hanlin Academy to do my best. Returning home this time as a Hanlin will be enough to honor my ancestors. Scholars from the south of the Yangtze River are very concerned about this. In fact, I have always wanted to help you, but I have been powerless... This time you have to thank me.
Your Majesty's kindness." Sun Jiao said.
Xu Jie was puzzled: "This...is your Majesty's order?"
"if not?"
Sun Jiao looked up at Xu Jie.
Sun Jiao also felt that Xu Jie was young and ignorant. It was obvious that you were helped by the emperor and Zhu Hao, but you don't even know who helped you, right?
Xu Jie said in a daze, "Shi Yang said he had met me before, and he was the one who gave me this transfer order."
When Sun Jiao heard this, his face was full of disdain: "Yang Yongxiu is really cunning. He takes all the credit for himself. I'm afraid you thought he was secretly helping you, right? But what's his situation now? He's the only one who has that
Can I help you return to the Hanlin Academy? Even I don’t have the ability."
Xu Jie was confused upon hearing this.
But he was still a little dissatisfied.
You, Mr. Sun, don't have the ability yourself, so you say that others don't have the ability either?
Don't forget that the Hanlin Academy has always been under the control of Yang Yongxiu's father. Now the two Hanlin bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, one Fengxi and the other Shi Yue, were both cultivated by Yang Tinghe.
Shi Yun and Feng Xi may listen to Yang Shen, but they will never listen to your Sun Jiao.
Then Xu Jie realized another problem.
That is……
Sun Jiao didn't know about his transfer back to the Hanlin Academy in advance, and Yang Shen and Ye Guizhang didn't know either. So how did Zhu Hao learn about it?
Sun Jiao asked: "How many months will it take for you to return to your hometown?"
Xu Jie said: "As little as two months, as much as three months."
"come back earlier."
Sun Jiao twirled his beard under his chin with satisfaction and said, "It seems I made the right arrangements. You can work with Jingdao and you will make great progress!"
"I'm here..."
Xu Jie
Suddenly I felt that Sun Jiao was teasing me.
Working with Zhu Hao?
Didn’t you ask me to supervise Zhu Hao?
I am just the head of the household department, and Zhu Hao is just a half-experienced doctor in the criminal department. We are both laymen in the trial of cases. Who is learning from the other?
Don’t we all need to find someone to learn from?
"It has indeed benefited a lot."
Xu Jie could only say nice things.
"Um."
Sun Jiao nodded with satisfaction, "Then you should go back to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow to have a look, or you can leave a day later. Oh, by the way, Jingdao, what do you think of the case of the two relatives?"
Xu Jiedao: "Submit it after the case files are sorted out."
Sun Jiao shook his head: "It's not about the case file, it's about judging the case. What kind of judgment will Jingdao make?"
Xu Jie was confused again. Didn't it mean that Zhu Hao only had the power to investigate the case and not have the power to judge? The results of the court meeting will be announced tomorrow. Now you ask me what Zhu Hao means? Can he count?
Xu Jie remembered what Zhu Hao said and said: "Jingdao said that he originally wanted the two relatives to move to Xuanfu, but the other party bullied them too much and changed his mind to move to three places, maybe going to Gansu!"
"This kid!" Sun Jiao suddenly became angry, "Don't he know that this will completely offend the Zhang family? What kind of trouble is he trying to make?"
Xu Jie was startled.
After thinking about it, Zhu Hao said what he said was quite offensive. You said you had no power to judge the case, but you insisted on threatening the Zhang brothers. Can the Zhang brothers let you go?
Even I... got involved.
Just as he was overly excited about returning to the Hanlin Academy, Xu Jie immediately realized a problem. He seemed to have offended the Zhang family. Will he live a good life in the future?
Sun Jiao looked annoyed: "I will never let him act so wantonly."
Xu Jie's eyes were filled with question marks.
What do you mean by this?
What can't be done to him?
He's been frightened, and the words have come out of his mouth. Can you still make him take back the harsh words he said?
Sun Jiao now completely thought that Xu Jie had become Zhu Hao's man, and Sun Jiao had always felt that Zhu Hao and Xu Jie had a very good relationship, so he didn't worry about anything else and only lived in his own thoughts. He said sharply: "He thought that Zhu Hao had a good relationship with Xu Jie.
To clear out the opposition voices in the court, we need to kill them as a warning, but if we don't do it well, it will immediately trigger a backlash. The Zhang family has deep roots in the court, and most civil servants are now standing in their position, so how can they act on their words?"
The truth is correct, and Xu Jie also thinks it makes sense, but...
It doesn't make sense.
Who cuts whom?
Who is attacked by whom?
Who touches whom?
You old guy, why are you talking like a charade? Why can't I understand a word of it?
Xu Jie asked hurriedly: "Sun Butang, in this case...does Jingdao have the right to make a decision?"
Sun Jiaoben was still seriously criticizing Zhu Hao's behavior. When he heard Xu Jie's innocent question, he couldn't help but smile: "Someone didn't treat you honestly... But think about it, you have to go back to your hometown tomorrow. What a shame."
It’s useless to say that, wait until you come back and you can show off your talents, and then you may know the truth!”
