"Is there anything embarrassing, you might as well say it."

Zhu Xianxuan looked at Su Tiancheng, nodded, and slowly spoke.

"It's not a particularly difficult thing, a few days ago, Su Tianhao came to Shaanxi and found me."

Su Tiancheng's face was a little unsightly.

For his family, Su Tiancheng has two attitudes, his wife and children, that is not to say, he loves him a lot, but for his parents and two brothers, Su Tiancheng is very unkind, so many years have passed, except for going to exterminate the Liukou in Shaanxi, and going home to see by the way, he has never gone back at all the rest of the time, in his heart, there is nothing worth remembering about that home, maybe if he hadn't crossed over to this body, the previous Su Tiancheng might have ended up depressed.

The eldest brother Su Tianhao has always been an official in the chief history of the palace, the little eight-grade Jishan, although it is said that Zhu Xianxuan has gone to Shaanxi to be an official, but the chief of the palace has not been revoked, this is also because there are still many vassal kings, and the setting of the long history division is fixed, but after Zhu Xianxuan left, there was nothing to do.

Over the years, Zhu Xianxuan has also been slowly trying to find a way, some capable officials in the former palace governor Shi Si have come out to be officials, such as Lanqiao Zheng, who used to be Ji Shan, who was also the eighth grade, and now he is already the fifth grade of the Hanzhong Mansion.

Su Tianhao came to Shaanxi and found Zhu Xianxuan, needless to say, he also wanted to be an official, the official position of Shi Si Jishan, the head of the palace, was too small, and he had no real power at all.

Su Tianhao is a student of Guozi Prison and a standard reader, but he is not as loud as those candidates born in the imperial examination, and he has to say that he has passed a certain relationship. It is also possible to be a county magistrate or something.

Su Tianhao and Su Tianran were embarrassed to find him directly Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng remembered very clearly that his father Su Huawen once wrote a letter and euphemistically talked about Su Tianhao and Su Tianran, at that time. Su Tiancheng was in the middle of the day, he served as the governor of Shaanxi at a young age, and later he was the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, including his hometown Shanxi, but Su Tiancheng's reply was very clear, Su Tianhao and Su Tianran were able to mix in the officialdom through their own efforts, and they would not object, thinking of using their own aura. This matter is not negotiable.

Su Tianhao and Su Tianran were actually wiped out.

Because of Su Tiancheng's relationship, they lived very comfortably in Taiyuan and Pingyang Fucheng, no one dared to bully, it can be said that the Su family in Pingyang Fucheng is the most dazzling family, his father Su Huawen's business is very big, and he earns a lot of silver every year, and the family is slowly growing. There was more silver, and Wang's heart was much more comfortable. Anyway, the money was reserved for his two sons. As for saying that Su Tiancheng never went home, the Wang family didn't care very much, anyway, he was not his own son.

Su Tiancheng still had a trace of concern for his father, and the rest didn't think about it at all.

As for his father, he said that he was going to save some silver taels for himself, but Su Tiancheng also directly refused. He didn't need that silver, his wealth had long surpassed that of his father Su Huawen.

"Oh, what is the big brother for?"

Su Tiancheng's understatement attitude was expected by Zhu Xianxuan. The relationship between Su Tiancheng and his family is not very good, this matter, several years ago, Zhu Xianxuan knew about Lu Dao, and secretly inquired about some details, after knowing the general situation of Lu Dao, he really didn't understand Wang's attitude, and felt that this woman was a little unreasonable.

When it comes to Su Tianhao, Zhu Xianxuan is also very cautious, even if he wants to help, he has to talk to Su Tiancheng, so as not to help him.

About a few years ago, Zhu Xianxuan once said that he would find a way to recommend Su Tianhao, but Su Tiancheng did not express his position, and Zhu Xianxuan understood and no longer cared about Su Tianhao's affairs.

This time, Su Tianhao came to the door, thinking that there was such a relationship, and Su Tianhao had been in the palace chief Shi Si for a long time, and Ji Shan, who had always been an eight-rank person, was not promoted, and he also wanted to help solve it, at least in the palace chief Shi Si, to promote the rank.

"Kun Yuan, I mean, it's better to help."

"It seems that the eldest brother is for the sake of rank, it's not that I don't want to help."

Su Tiancheng shook his head and didn't continue, there were some things he didn't want to mention.

Zhu Xianxuan let go of his mind instead.

"Kun Yuan, this matter is not for me to say you, the family's affairs, you still have to care about it, everyone knows that Lu Dao, one person has the Tao chicken dog ascends to heaven, even many officials of the palace governor Shi Si have come to me one after another over the years, at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year, there are a lot of people who come, thinking of the past feelings, I can help, I try my best to help, Su Tianhao is your eldest brother, his character is not very bad, I have also asked about the situation, these years in the palace chief Shi Si, there is nothing to do, or can control yourself, Don't cause trouble, in this case, if you ignore it, others may really gossip, even if you are a high authority, but people have to talk about your father and mother, thinking that they must have done something wrong, as the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. ”

"I know you're right, but I'm always a little uncomfortable."

"It's one thing to be uncomfortable, but it's another thing to help or not, some things, knowing that Lu Dao is uncomfortable, you still have to do it, now your identity is much higher than mine, the prince Taibao, Jiliao Governor, the military department Shangshu, Zuodu Yushi, the responsibility is even no less than that of the cabinet ministers, the weight of words is naturally different, Su Tianhao's matter, you still have to think about it."

Su Tiancheng thought of many exchanges with Su Tianhao, to say that Su Tianhao was much stronger than Su Tianran.

"Then what do you think about it, how are you going to arrange Su Tianhao."

"I thought about recommending Su Tianhao, serving as the magistrate, or inheriting the experience of the political envoy, I have been an eight-grade official for so many years, and it is time to promote it, in fact, I wanted to ask for your opinion, thinking that it is not very appropriate to say these things in the letter, so I am waiting for this opportunity to come to the capital."

"Okay, just follow your opinion, I still don't interfere in this matter, but there is one thing I want to say, about the second brother Su Tianran, you will definitely not be able to handle it, no matter what it is, don't help, I'm hungry for this second brother, it's not a good thing at all, if you really do the county, you may break into a big disaster for the family."

Speaking of this, Su Tiancheng suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, did the emperor ask you about Zhu Youxiang?"

"I asked, I also feel strange, it is said that Zhu Youxiang has come to the capital, what is the situation, the emperor can ask in person, there is no need to ask me."

Su Tiancheng nodded.

"Zhu Youxiang may be moving, don't spread this matter for the time being, the news I got is that Zhu Youxiang is very likely to be the governor of Shanxi."

Zhu Xianxuan was greatly surprised, in his opinion, Zhu Youxiang is now the Shaanxi Provincial Inspector, even if he is promoted, the next step is to be the political envoy, and then it is possible to be the governor, I can't imagine that Zhu Youxiang can skip this step and be directly promoted to the governor of Shanxi.

"At present, it is only possible, the news is not necessarily accurate, since the emperor asked you about the situation, it is very possible, I have already seen it, the emperor is thinking of appointing some of the emperor's relatives, this is also because you are doing a very good job in Shaanxi, so that the emperor is very relieved."

"Kun Yuan, it's all your credit, Zhu Youxiang and I often chat, and when we talk about this matter, we still can't believe it, and I always feel that it will change again one day."

Su Tiancheng shook his head, his eyes looking very resolute.

"There will be no such situation, the emperor has figured it out, and the facts show that it is of great benefit for the royal family to come out to do things, and the key is that the emperor can control it well."

During the meal, Zhu Xianxin accompanied, his brother came, there was nothing to avoid, Zhu Xianxuan came to visit, of course, he brought gifts, especially for several of his nephews, who brought enough gifts, according to the attributes of each nephew, they cast a relative animal model with gold, and the height was about ten centimeters.

Seeing these gifts, Su Tiancheng couldn't cry or laugh, he remembered a joke, saying that there was a magistrate for his birthday, and his subordinates tried their best to send a gold-cast mouse, but the magistrate was not satisfied, and told many subordinates that his wife would die next month, and his wife was a cow.

Su Tiancheng recognized the truth that Zhu Xianxuan said, in fact, he thought more, the so-called family affairs, state affairs, and everything in the world cares about everything, so it is reasonable, and the affairs of the family cannot be settled, let alone talk about national affairs and world affairs.

There are already such words in the Book of Rites: Character and then knowing, knowing and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then world peace.

Of course, it is not possible to completely follow the understanding of the ancients, and some pedantic ideas must be abandoned, but there is a basic truth, that is, if you can't manage the family well, you can't talk about governing the country well.

Su Tiancheng can't get rid of his father and two elder brothers, this is an iron fact, although he is not interested in the Wang family at all, and can even reach the point of not getting along with each other, but it is impossible for him to get rid of the blood relationship with Su Tianhao and Su Tianran, the two are his elder brothers, if something big happens, people will naturally associate it with him, and when the time comes, many scholars will have a reason for impeachment, you Su Tiancheng can't even manage your own family, what else can you talk about acting in government affairs.

This is a headache, and it is also a problem that Su Tiancheng cannot avoid. (To be continued......)
