In February, various political affairs of the imperial court were carried out in a busy and orderly manner.

After the day went down, Sun Changyu shouted around Jiang Hong, who was talking to the head of the household.

The surroundings bowed their hands to Jiang Hong and stopped to wait for Sun Changyu.

Jiang Hong knew that Sun Changyu had something to say to the surroundings, so he arched his hand at the two of them knowingly, and took the first step to leave.

Since Zhou Qiu married Sun Changyin, in the eyes of his colleagues, the Zhou family has been attached to the Sun family, and at this time, Sun Changyu and the surroundings have something to say, so everyone naturally quickly avoided it.

After the courtiers dispersed, Sun Changyu and the surrounding people stayed behind unhurriedly and slowly walked out of the palace.

"Lord Shoufu specially called out to the lower officials, I don't know what is going on?" The look on his face asked humbly.

Sun Changyu glanced around, his expression was faint and he couldn't see his joy and anger, and what he said made the surrounding monks like Zhanger confused.

"The day before yesterday, Zhuang Shangshu's grandson of the Ministry of Officials married, did you go?" Sun Changyu asked incompatibly.

The surroundings were stunned, although they didn't know why, they still responded in a low voice: "Lord Zhuang's grandson is married, and the lower officials naturally went to congratulate him." ”

The surroundings couldn't figure out the purpose of Sun Changyu's question, and they didn't dare to say too much, so they passed perfunctorily with just one sentence.

Sun Changyu nodded, and said as if chatting: "Oh, this official was busy that day, so he didn't have time to go, so he only told a few juniors to go and join in the fun." ”

The surroundings were inexplicable, and he smiled cautiously, not daring to speak casually.

Sun Changyu had expected this, and when he saw this, he smiled and said: "I heard that you have been busy with the matter of closing positions recently, and you have been working very hard, and you have been staying in the yamen for several days in a row. It's just that I didn't expect that you still have time to go to the Zhuang Mansion to attend the wedding banquet. ”

The surroundings were stunned, and a spirit was all over his body, and he suddenly understood.

Looking around, he bowed his hands around and said in a humble voice: "In the palace forbidden, it is inconvenient to speak. If Lord Shoufu is free, after waiting for the lower office, the lower official will personally visit your mansion to explain, what do you think? ”

Sun Changyu let out a faint "um", seeing that the palace gate was in sight, he separated from the surroundings and left the palace to board the car.

One of them stood at the gate of the palace, looking at the carriage in the distance, raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Han Yan, who stayed in the imperial study to teach Emperor Kangping as usual, got the news, and smiled with Emperor Kangping: "The saint has seen it, this is called looking and detaching." When a monarch is in a weak position, he must be good at leveraging his strength to gradually disintegrate the power of his ministers.

"Of course, the premise is that you can't lose the country in order to drive a wedge between the other party."

Emperor Kang Ping nodded and replied seriously: "I remember!" ”

After that, he couldn't help but ask curiously and excitedly: "Then what will happen next?" Will the surroundings break with the Sun family because of this? ”

Han Yan shook his head and sighed, "Where is there such an easy thing...... The Zhou and Sun families are now in-laws, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, for the sake of the Zhou family, even if Sun Shoufu suffers from it, he will never break with the Sun family so easily. ”

"Huh? So what to do? Emperor Kangping was worried, "If Sun Changyu insists on inserting a foot in it, and the surroundings can't resist, then when the grain harvest fails in summer and autumn, how can the people in the capital live?" ”

Over the years, the government has changed, the political situation has been unstable, and there have been frequent disturbances in the border areas, and a large amount of military salaries have to be sent to the border gates every year, even if the treasury is opened, it will not be able to relieve the victims of the disaster all over the world.

"Don't worry, Holy One." Han Yan smiled and persuaded, "Lord Zhou is Jing Zhaoyin, who manages the government affairs and people's livelihood in Gyeonggi, and he wants to spend this murderous year in peace and security more than anyone else. Speaking of Sun Shoufu, there was a civil unrest at the foot of the Son of Heaven because of famine, and he, the cabinet chief, was naturally the first to bear the brunt and could not escape the blame.

"Even if it is for the sake of their own future, they have to work hard to make reserves for regular liquidation this time."

After a pause, Han Yancai frowned again and thought: "However, with Sun Shoufu's personality, I am afraid that I will use this as a condition to take the opportunity to blackmail the Han family to sell some of its benefits to the Sun family, so as to strengthen the strength of the Sun family." ”

After all, in Sun Changyu's view, the biggest stumbling block to the Sun family's dominance is the Han family.

"No way!" Emperor Kang Ping excitedly vetoed without thinking about it, "Uncle is working hard for the country and the people, why should he be coerced by Sun Changyu and give away the Han family's income?" This is a no-go! ”

Han Yan was very relieved to see this, but he said solemnly on his face: "The famine is imminent, now is not the time to worry about this!" ”

If everyone learns from Sun Changyu and abolishes the public for personal reasons, then the number of Great Zhou Qi will be exhausted.

He worked hard to rescue Emperor Kangping, and assisted him all the way to become the emperor, because he wanted to change the turbulent situation in the previous life of the Great Zhou Dynasty and create a peaceful and prosperous era with his own hands, so that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be permanent and the country and the people would be safe.

For this reason, even if some personal interests are sacrificed, what is the gain?

Seeing Emperor Kang Ping's reluctance, Han Yan smiled and persuaded: "However, although the Holy Lord can rest assured, even if Sun Shoufu gets these benefits, he may not be able to digest them. ”

When Emperor Kang Ping heard this, he knew that Han Yan had already made a plan in his heart, so he was slightly relieved, but he still reluctantly advised: "That uncle must not be too wronged by himself, so as not to fuel the arrogance of others!" ”

Han Yan nodded and smiled, but he was a little worried in his heart, how to persuade his father Han Qian and those clan elders when he went back.

The Han family is not his Han family alone, and there are some things that he can't do alone.

……

Let's say that the surroundings are not allowed to be next to the lower ya, so I packed up early, carried two cans of good Mingqian tea, and ran straight to Sun's house.

When he got there, he learned that Sun Changyu had not yet returned home, and the housekeeper welcomed him to the flower hall to wait.

The surroundings knew that Sun Changyu was deliberately trying to give himself a dismissal to "punish" his "closeness" to the Han family, so he returned so late when he had said it in advance.

Rao is heart is angry, and he didn't dare to show it around, so he could only sit and wait in the flower hall.

Who made the Zhou family, although they are the in-laws of the Sun family, their family strength is far inferior to that of the other party?

Sitting alone in the huge flower hall, so silent that he seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat clearly, at this moment, the surroundings deeply realized why Zhou's father was hesitant about this family matter - he was worried that women would be strong and men would be weak, and after getting married in the future, Zhou Qiu would be idle by the Yue family and his daughter-in-law!

It's just that he can't disobey his decision as a brother and patriarch, plus Zhou Qiu really likes Sun Changyin and is bent on marrying, so Zhou's father had to reluctantly agree to this family business.

The surroundings were worried and anxious, so they could only secretly persuade themselves to calm down and calm themselves down by drinking tea.

Fortunately, after two cups of tea, Sun Changyu finally came back, but he didn't come to the flower hall to greet him for the first time.
