Chapter 550: Old Man Sun Wants to Save Face (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
οΌοΌ
Sun Jiao didn't believe that Zhu Hao played a role in it, but also because he heard some rumors from Zhu Youqi afterwards, saying that Tang Yin was the first to blame for this matter.
That's why he looked at Tang Yin, with the intention of seeking verification.
Tang Yin sighed: "It's a shame to say that Zhu Hao was behind his back, and Zhu Hao made great contributions to the early warning of the catastrophe and the use of soldiers." At that time, the first emperor ordered him to preside, but most of the time it was Zhu Hao who commanded and dispatched, and he took on the responsibility of the palace as a teenager. β
After Tang Yin finished speaking, Sun Jiao here was even more surprised.
You must know that now is the time when the new emperor ascends the throne, everyone is competing for credit, Tang Yin, as a staff member around the emperor, also plays a vital role in the Xingwang Mansion, and will actually take the initiative to "cede" the credit to Zhu Hao?
Sun Jiaodao: "Then now he ......"
Zhu Sidao: "Elder Sun, in fact, Zhu Hao should have told you before, I asked you to return to the dynasty, not to ask you to help me do anything, even if your opinions are contrary to me in some things, I will not complain, I just want to make Elder Sun the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty." As for Zhu Hao, he is in Hanyuan, and he does not obey me in everything, and in terms of public attitude, he supports Yang Gelao. β
"Huh?"
Sun Jiao still felt incredible.
As soon as the little emperor came to power, he used the matter of great gifts to raise storms, and the court was tossed by the little emperor for a long time, and he was so open-minded in his attitude towards the courtiers?
If you are really so tolerant, don't fight with Yang Ting.
Zhu Si smiled and said: "Actually, Zhu Hao is equivalent to saying that he is in Cao Ying, and his heart is in Han...... It may not be appropriate to say that, but that's it. Some of the things about me in the past two days are that he ...... behind his back."
"Ahemβ"
On the side, Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin cleared their throats at the same time to remind Zhu Si not to inform Sun Jiao of this matter.
What you feel very proud of, in the eyes of an old minister like Sun Jiao, is a bad rule, and it is pure chaos.
It's just that you can do it yourself, the emperor, because Xiaoyi doesn't want to be the emperor and want to take the throne, go back to support your mother, that's your own choice.
But if you say that Zhu Hao taught you to do this, where do you put Zhu Hao, a courtier, in your position? Tell Sun Jiao that Zhu Hao even did not hesitate to use the emperor's Zen position to blackmail the ministers in order to succeed?
Since Zhu Si almost blurted out, even if he didn't finish speaking, Sun Jiao also understood a rough idea.
The way that feelings play cards in such an unreasonable way is not from the original intention of the new emperor, but the new champion named Zhu Hao gave advice to the emperor.
This kid......
It's very poisonous!
Zhang Zuo hurriedly diverted the topic: "Sun Laobutang, when the first emperor was alive, did he mention the junjie in the palace?" For example, mentioning Zhu Hao? β
"Yes."
Sun Jiao did not hide it.
Zhu Youqi did mention to him at that time that there was a child in the palace who was very admirable, named Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao was just a student at that time, even if Zhu Youqi mentioned it, Sun Jiao couldn't think about what role this child would play in the Xingwangfu system.
But now he understands that if this child really has extraordinary talents, how could Zhu Youqi be proud to mention to outsiders that the father found a good classmate for his son to be his right-hand man?
Now that I think about it, Zhu Youqi didn't inadvertently mention Zhu Hao's name, but boasted proudly in front of him.
Zhu Si raised his glass and said, "Come, Elder Sun, I will give you another glass." β
Sun Jiao hurriedly raised his wine glass in return.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
During the banquet, Zhu Si mentioned many times the purpose of summoning Sun Jiao back to the court, but he did not ask Sun Jiao to enter the court in the name of the emperor.
After the banquet, Zhu Si wanted to invite Sun Jiao to watch the play.
But someone here came to spread the word and told Zhu Si to send Sun Jiao back to the house earlier, after all, the emperor's exit from the palace is extremely confidential, if the emperor lingers outside the palace and frolicks among the people, it will inevitably make Sun Jiao feel that you, the emperor, are not doing your job.
Zhu Si didn't mention it to Sun Jiao, and now many of the notes are reviewed by Zhu Hao for me, if Sun Jiao knows, he must make Zhu Hao's affairs public, so that Zhu Hao can completely become a rat crossing the street.
Before parting, Zhu Si personally sent him off, and at the same time mentioned the matter of keeping Zhu Hao's identity secret.
"Elder Sun, Zhu Hao is a person in the palace, helping me to do great things, and I also ask Elder Sun not to mention it to outsiders, especially ...... Yang Ge Lao. β
Zhu Si's words were earnest.
Sun Jiao bowed and saluted: "Old decay understands." β
The people around you are meticulous, and they are intrusive into Yang Ting and internal spies, if I explain it to the outside world, it is to provoke disputes between the two sides, and with my shrewd and sophisticated style of acting, will I do such a stupid thing?
But at the same time, he was thinking in his heart, you young people, you don't really treat Yang Tinghe as a fool, right?
Zhu Hao was born in the palace, wouldn't Yang Tinghe investigate this matter?
I'm afraid that you think you are clever and can successfully conceal Zhu Hao's identity, but in fact, Yang Tinghe has long known everything over there, but he just deliberately did not reveal it.
That Zhu Hao...... It may seem shrewd, but who gives you the confidence in this kind of matter?
Sooner or later, you will be punished by Yang Tinghe because of your two-faced and three-faced things, and the emperor's favor on you here is probably only temporary, right?
"Mr. Tang, please send Sun Lao back to the house, I won't go out, and I have to go back to the palace early." Zhu Si obviously wanted to go to the theater and listen to books, but he still had to show diligence and self-denial.
Tang Yin understood the rules, and after saluting, he and Sun Jiao first sent Zhu Si back, and then the two walked to the gate of the official residence.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Sun Jiao thought that Tang Yin would definitely persuade him to stay in the court on the way back.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin did not take a carriage like him.
After being sent to Sun Jiao's residence, Tang Yin just got off the carriage to send him off, originally Sun Jiao wanted to invite Tang Yin to sit in, but Tang Yin politely declined.
"Bohu, the old man asks you, if someone asks about today's events......"
Sun Jiao was very hesitant, if someone asked me why I returned to the court in the future, how should I answer? Do you want to tell the ministers that the emperor has hosted me at a private banquet?
Tang Yin said with a smile: "It's better for Sun Lao to decide this kind of thing himself." β
Sun Jiao was stunned.
Immediately understood, Tang Yin is also an old fox, and some things can be seen through without saying anything.
Your grandson will take the initiative to mention to outsiders that the emperor has had a private banquet? If Yang Tinghe knew about this, what would he think?
It's no wonder he doesn't put you straight into the hostile camp!
So the new emperor just told him not to tell Zhu Hao's affairs, but he didn't tell him not to tell today's things, what you Sun Jiaozhen wants to say, then the emperor must be very happy, because if you spread the word, Yang Tinghe will naturally classify you as a royalist, and you won't even have the right to choose at that time.
Do you still say that?
Sun Jiao immediately felt a sense of crampedness in his hands, in the past, he would have been very angry, but now he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong.
This little emperor and the people around him use accurate strategies, and suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, such scheming and calculations are really not comparable to ordinary emperors, such an emperor will either become the holy lord of the Ming monarch, or he will become a faint monarch who has been stinking for thousands of years.
At least for now, it seems that the new emperor is more likely to become the former.
The wise emperor is good at employing people, and he can be far-sighted in everything, and it seems very difficult to corrupt the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
Sun Jiao nodded, so he had a good idea in his heart.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
When he entered the house and returned to the hall, his daughter appeared in front of him, and when she saw that his face was flushed and his whole body exuded the smell of wine, she hurriedly ordered the old servant to go and prepare a basin of water and a dry cloth.
"Huh...... No need. β
Sun Jiao smiled and shook his head.
The daughter asked, "Why is my father so happy?" β
Sun Jiaodao: "You don't understand, Your Majesty summoned your father alone and asked your father to go to the banquet, and he said a lot during the banquet." β
When her daughter heard the emperor, her face was restrained, because she had been photographed by Zhu Youqi and wanted to be a princess for Zhu Si, but this matter was rejected by Sun Jiao, but now that Zhu Si is the emperor again, her lifelong happiness can be said to have been delayed, so she is naturally dissatisfied, but she does not dare to express it to the outside world.
"The Holy Lord is so courteous, is my father ready to return to the court?"
The daughter asked.
Sun Jiao shook his head: "No, my father will continue to play and resign." β
This answer was beyond the expectations of his daughter.
The emperor has treated you so politely, you are still so obsessed, are you really not afraid that the emperor will retaliate against our Sun family? When they were in Anlu before, the Sun family had offended the Xingwang Mansion, even if you don't care about the old bones now, what about the brother who is an official in the court? And my grandson's family, don't you want to be preserved?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Zhu Hao was there all the time that day.
It's just that he didn't show up, and he didn't run to eavesdrop, but he probably understood what was going to be said at the banquet.
"Zhu Hao, I treat him so well, he should go back to the court directly, right? Your plan is really good, and you will buy people's hearts like this, and I believe that no minister in the DPRK and China will refuse it. β
Zhu Si was very proud.
I made a good performance at the banquet again.
Recently, he likes things on the stage very much, he feels that life is like a play, and he has translated it into reality, and his acting skills have slowly improved unconsciously.
Zhu Hao shook his head: "No, he will continue to resign." β
"Huh!?"
Not to mention Zhu Si, even Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin and others on the side couldn't understand it.
The emperor has done this, and Sun Jiao continues to resign?
Zhu Sidao: "If that's the case, then what else do I see him doing?" It's as if I'm begging him in a low voice, he won't be so obsessed, right? β
Zhang Zuo also said: "Mr. Zhu, this old man Sun listened very well during the banquet, is it because he leaked your business...... That's why he thinks His Majesty is too hasty in employing people? No way, we're all complimenting you. β
Zhang Zuo was afraid that Zhu Hao would blame them for violating the previous agreement, so he brought up Zhu Hao's existence.
At that time, Zhu Si completely wanted to win Sun Jiao's trust.
Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "That's not what I'm talking about. I don't mean that Sun Lao is obsessed...... Let's put it this way, any usurper king in ancient times, before accepting the throne, he had to pretend to be a gesture three times, Sun Lao had such a tough attitude before, he always had to give him a step down, people felt that he couldn't resign several times, and he was forced by His Majesty to be on an errand, right? β
When Zhu Si heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "I understand, Sun Lao is also a person who wants to save face, so I will follow his heart and let him perform a few more times." β
