The dinner is over.

Liu Chun didn't drink because of chest paralysis, but even so, he was still very happy.

Zhu Hao is now Sun Jiao's son-in-law, and he can be regarded as a family, and when he sent off guests, Weng and his son-in-law sent Liu Chun out together.

Sun Jiao said to Liu Chun earnestly: "Renzhong, respectful and methodical things, if you encounter any problems, you can discuss them with him more, I am not biased to help him, in fact...... I want to share your pressure."

"Hmm."

In other words, if you are an ordinary person, when you hear this without knowing what is going on, it is strange to believe that Sun Jiao is not helping her son-in-law.

But Liu Chun has been with Sun Jiao for a long time, and he doesn't think that Sun Jiao is coy, since Sun Jiao said that he recommended Zhu Hao to him in order to help him, he is still willing to believe it.

"Jingdao has time to go to my house more, speaking of which, you are not familiar with the people around me, so you should walk around more and get closer." Liu Chundao.

Sun Jiao smiled: "You are not better than me, your grandchildren are as old as Zhu Hao, right? Haha."

This seems to mean something else, and ordinary people will definitely think that Sun Jiao intends to talk about the matchmaker.

But Liu Chun knew that Sun Jiao's meaning was obviously not this.

After all, Zhu Hao is already Sun Jiao's son-in-law, do you want his son-in-law to take a concubine?

Besides, what is Liu Chun's identity?

is already an old man in the court, how can he let a girl in his junior marry Zhu Hao as a concubine?

Liu Chun never thought of getting closer to Zhu Hao by marriage.

……

……

"How? I didn't say anything about it, did I?"

After sending Liu Chun away, Sun Jiao said to Zhu Hao with a smile.

Zhu Hao smiled and didn't say anything, even if he offered to leave.

Weng son-in-law sent off the guest together, the guest left, it was the son-in-law's turn to go, who made the son-in-law also a guest in the traditional Chinese etiquette?

"Let's go?"

Sun Jiao asked.

Zhu Hao said, "It's not early, let's talk about it......

Sun Jiao suddenly thought of something, on the first day of his son-in-law's return to the capital, he hadn't gotten close to his daughter, so he immediately made a sudden statement: "That's the time to go back earlier, your family...... Your mother, in particular, should be worried...... Go, go, go."

When Zhu Hao was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked with a smile, "Are you sure Elder Sun really has nothing important to tell me?"

Zhu Hao is a smart person.

Before Sun Jiao returned to Beijing, he sent someone to greet Sun Lan, saying that he would let Zhu Hao come to see him when he returned to Beijing, obviously not for Liu Chun's business, and Sun Jiao could not just miss this son-in-law.

As for Sun Jing's future prospects, Zhu Hao had planned for him before, and he would stay in the court until at least the middle of the year......

Therefore, Sun Jiao must have some tricky things, which he can't solve by himself, and needs Zhu Hao's help.

Sun Jiao sighed: "I didn't want to tell you, but since you asked so, in front of you, the old man doesn't have to be coy......

Aren't you just pretentious?

Old man Sun, you are really hypocritical!

"That's the case, the southeast coastal defense is missing, and the local government has reported it, and Yang Jiefu presided over the operation, including Fujian and Guangdong, among the people who took it...... There is an old man's doorman......

Sun Jiao almost made the words clear.

Zhu Hao said: "The omission of the accounts of the southeast coastal defense is mostly caused by the Nanjing garrison yamen and the governors at all levels. The early allocation, but only a hundred thousand taels of silver, each yamen made a little money, but in fact, there was not much left. Sun always wants to say that those people have been wronged, and they must try to rescue them?"

Sun Jiao shook his head: "The old man will not do those things that know the law and break the law, but the husband does do things a little excessively, obviously the matter has been negotiated, and the Nanhu Department and some people in charge of the treasury grain have also pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, but they still have to expand the involvement." If they're really guilty, the old man won't say anything, will he?"

Zhu Hao nodded.

It is said that it is not a cover-up, but in fact it is still a cover-up.

"Then I'll go back and help Elder Sun ask and see what's going on." Zhu Hao said.

Sun Jiao nodded, but he didn't say anything in his heart, thinking that he didn't know how to speak.

Zhu Hao said, "I understand, Elder Sun is worried, Elder Yang Ge wants to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger with this, so that Elder Sun will move closer to him...... Or to force Sun Lao Zhishi. Sun Lao doesn't care about whether he leaves the dynasty or not, he just doesn't want to be infamous when he leaves, right?"

"Huh."

Sun Jiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

can't hide anything from Zhu Hao.

If it's just that his former protégé was taken down, he shouldn't take it seriously at all, the problem is that now Yang Tinghe clearly has the intention of using the topic to play, otherwise why would he target his grandson at this time?

It is also because since the middle of last year, Sun Jiao's tendency in the court has been tilted towards the new emperor, and no one believes him if he wants to say that he is neutral.

Yang Tinghe was able to maintain harmony with Sun Jiao before, but now it is different, Yang Tinghe must let Sun Jiao know who is in charge of this court.

"In addition, Huang Gongxian also sent people to the capital to lobby, it is estimated that you also know his person, it is the businessman surnamed Su, who is very generous, I have no objection to his activities, just don't bring trouble to everyone at this juncture." Sun Jiao reminded again.

Zhu Hao nodded.

Yang Tinghe borrowed the topic to play, obviously not only for Sun Jiao, but also Huang Zan was also the target of the key attack.

Huang Zan saw that he was being targeted, and his response was very special, that is, he sent Su Xigui to the capital to stuff silver into various yamen, and the silver was stuffed up...... I don't know what distress is at all.

Sun Jiao wanted to remind Zhu Hao that this time was different from the past, not that the people of the three law divisions could solve the problem, and it was easy to be caught by Yang Tinghe and the people of the faction, the point is that the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are now controlled by Yang Tinghe's people, and Lin Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has always been known for his fairness and strictness, and it cannot be said that he is fake and high, but who Lin Jun really wants to do, that person is afraid that he will suffer.

"Does Elder Sun have anything else to confess?"

Zhu Hao asked sincerely.

Sun Jiaodao: "I won't say anything superfluous, I asked you earlier, about the question, in fact, I just want to see if you plan to use this as a counterattack."

"If you really plan to make a fuss about the topic, remember to stop in moderation, Yang Jiefu is not easy to deal with, he tolerated too much before, if he is really cornered, he will have no worries about acting."

These words were specially said to Zhu Hao.

I am afraid that my son-in-law will be arrogant, and he can eat Yang Tinghe in the past, that is, Yang Tinghe doesn't want to make his reputation too stinky, and when he is opposed to the emperor, he tries to tolerate it, but if it involves his fundamental interests, he will not back down, and Zhu Hao may suffer a big loss in the end.

Zhu Hao smiled and nodded.

Sun Jiao is a smart person, and what he reminded is precisely what Zhu Hao is most worried about.

Driving the dog into the poor alley is a situation that Zhu Si and Yang Tinghe may encounter when they fight to the last step.

Why did Zhu Hao keep reminding Zhu Si to be patient?

It is that before Yang Tinghe's prestige and his intertwined forces are disintegrated to a certain extent, Yang Tinghe cannot be forced to be anxious, and now even if Yang Tinghe takes the initiative to resign, he can't agree, because Yang Tinghe and the people of the faction are still in control of the court situation, Yang Tinghe is gone, will Jiang Mian give face to the little emperor?

Who dares to guarantee that Jiang Mian or Mao Ji are not the next Yang Tinghe?

In addition to the cabinet people standing on Yang Tinghe's side, there are also Qiao Yu and others, not to say that Yang Tinghe Zhishi, the emperor will definitely be able to take back all the power in the court.

It has to be justified!

Otherwise, just if the emperor agrees with Yang Tinghe and Zhishi, many ministers in the court will unite to oppose it, and many people will kneel down to persuade the emperor to leave Yang Tinghe behind, and how will Zhu Si step down at that time?

And in the second year of Jiajing.

Yang Tinghe's power began to be weakened, but it definitely did not reach the point of collapse, so Zhu Hao has been persuading Zhu Si to be patient until now.

More importantly......

It is also the place where Zhu Hao can't say anything to Zhu Si.

To put it more bluntly, he also wants to prevent rabbits from dying and dogs from cooking.

Only by setting up Yang Tinghe as a powerful and powerful enemy for Zhu Si, Zhu Si will entrust him with a heavy responsibility, if Yang Tinghe falls, the next person to suffer may not be him Zhu Hao, but after three or five or seven years, you have to be careful.

So before Yang Tinghe fell, Zhu Hao must have his own support.

That's what has been done in places like mines and shipyards.

"Elder Sun rest assured, no matter what happens in the court, it will not cause a head-on conflict between His Majesty and Yang Gelao, only when Yang Gelao resigns five times, His Majesty will allow it, and will retain and send him off with the highest courtesy......

Zhu Hao is colorful.

Sun Jiao lightly twisted his beard under his chin and nodded approvingly: "It's good that you understand, you can't force everything, only in this way can you achieve great things in the future."

……

……

Zhu Hao did not go back to his home, that is, he did not go back to meet Sun Lan.

He was going to see Zhu Si that night.

When he saw Zhu Si, Zhu Si had been waiting for a long time, and said a little depressed: "Zhu Hao, don't you come to see you earlier when you go back to the capital, I know that you went to see Sun Butang, but you don't have to be so late, right?"

Zhang Zuo reminded, "Your Majesty, it's just past the last shift."

Zhu Sidao: "It's just spring now, and the days are very short, don't you know?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Elder Sun invited, the minister had to go, and I also met Elder Liu Ge in Sun's mansion, and he said a lot of things during the banquet, including the cabinet."

"Do you mean we can get rid of the guy surnamed Yang now?"

Zhu Si's eyes immediately widened.

Zhu Hao is not in the capital, Zhu Si is most worried about the daily court meeting, when the court meeting begins, he has to argue with Yang Tinghe and his henchmen in the court.

Although Zhu Si's eloquence is good, he also has the upper hand many times, and sometimes he has a sense of accomplishment.

But once or twice is okay, and in the long run, Zhu Si feels too tired.

Who wants to face a group of ministers who specialize in picking on thorns every day? This group of people just tried their best to find trouble with him, the emperor, and sometimes it was quite unreasonable to respond to people.

In other words, the reasoning they talk about is some crooked reasoning that sounds very nonsense and is not close to human feelings.

Zhu Hao said: "Liu Ge Lao has just entered the cabinet, if Yang Ge Lao is allowed to retire, it is still that question, who should be the successor of the first assistant? Theoretically, we need to create contradictions in the cabinet and divide and disintegrate several cabinet ministers, preferably by co-opting the second assistant...... The second assistant who may have been taken in by His Majesty before, Master Liang has already retired, and Jiang Ge Lao's heart does not seem to be on His Majesty's side, so he ......

Zhu Sibian flattened his mouth: "It's over, it's over...... Listen to what you mean, and keep waiting. It's so depressing!"
