Su Xigui's compliments sounded more and more like a marginal sycophant.

Zhu Hao knew that with the improvement of Huang Zhan's status, Su Xigui's strong social skills finally had a place to use in the officialdom of Beijing......

With a silver ticket in front of him, the people in the officialdom of the capital finally saw that Huang Zan was not only an official, but also very good at "being a man".

"Recently, Su Dongzhu has been so active in Jingshi, even Yang Ge Lao has heard about what you have done, and Yang Dagongzi sent me to find out the inside story...... I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, Su Dongzhu will not only win something for Huang Gong, but will ...... but suffer from it."

Zhu Hao made the most direct warning.

Su Xigui smiled, "Contemptible people have long thought of this stubble...... In other words, if someone else wants to attack Huang Gong, do you still have no chance? It is precisely because Huang Gong does not cause trouble but is not afraid of things, and contemptible people are not worried about being harmed by Xiaoxiao, so he has to be in the limelight...... The more limelight there is, the more difficult it is for those who do it. This is still taught by the little master."

Zhu Hao asked in surprise, "Huh? When did I teach you?"

"Hehe, did you forget? When you were in Nanjing, you once mentioned to the contemptible people, repeated forbearance will only attract the enemy to press forward step by step, the best way is to fight back, the contemptible people think about it, there is no other way to counterattack, if Huang Gong does not exist in the court, then what can the contemptible people do with these belongings? Why don't you take it out and move around?"

Su Xigui looked like you mentioned me all the time, now you can't blame my look, and looked at Zhu Hao with a smile.

Zhu Hao glanced at this guy.

Don't say it, this move was really not reminded by Zhu Hao, but Su Xigui really made a mistake.

should put pressure on Yang Tinghe in reverse, otherwise he will sit back and wait for death, of course Zhu Hao can't directly let Su Xigui send silver out, but Su Xigui is obviously conscious.

Silver is a foreign thing, and if Huang Chan falls, he will definitely not have a good life.

"How much money have you counted this time? Count me 30,000?" Zhu Hao asked.

Su Xigui stretched out his hand and gestured to eight.

"Eighty thousand taels?"

Zhu Hao asked.

Su Xigui shook his head: "It's 68,000 taels, and the contemptible people have prepared 150,000 taels of silver, but some places don't need it...... Some people don't like silver and want to give something else, but they don't know what to give. Some yamen are even more inaccessible, such as the Criminal Department...... The contemptible are afraid of falling into the net."

"Huh."

Zhu Hao couldn't be happy.

Su Xigui was outside, so he paid more than 30,000 taels of silver, which Zhu Hao didn't expect.

I thought that Su Xigui would spend at least 100,000 taels or more.

Not counting the part given to him, the 38,000 taels of silver alone created such a big momentum, which alarmed Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, and even Yang Shen asked him to come out to help investigate the truth and find evidence of Su Xigui's bribery......

It seems that Su Xigui's counterattack was used very appropriately.

"Let's put it this way, I basically collected everything that could be collected, but the amount was not much, and each family had a few hundred taels of silver...... Some do not accept silver, only gold and jewelry, and some accept antiques, calligraphy and paintings. When the contemptible people saw them, they also made it clear that if Huang Gong entered the court and became a scholar in the future, they would make up for it." Su Xigui said.

Zhu Hao said, "You are befriending and wooing the courtiers, you know?"

Su Xigui said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the little master will misunderstand, so I have to make it clear that the contemptible people don't have any intention of befriending them for Huang Gong, and Huang Gong hasn't even exchanged a letter with them, and the contemptible people just mention it in passing, so that they can accept the money with peace of mind." As for Huang Gongzhen entering the center and becoming a scholar in the future, who should he give gifts to, it's not a matter of a word from the little master?"

Even Zhu Hao wanted to say that this trick was quite clever.

Don't talk about any purpose.

is to stuff the silver into your hand, and after stuffing it, he doesn't ask for anything, just says that after Huang Zan becomes the Northern Sixth Scholar, he will make up another copy, which means that the silver is used to let you help Huang Zan speak, and if you don't say it, you don't care, anyway, you don't plan to take back the silver if you send it out.

As for you not to help speak, Huang Zan will not be able to enter the capital when he turns around, and he will not be able to be the Northern Sixth Scholar, so he will be a greater thank you gift...... only

I don't have anything to do with you.

In this way......

Even if Su Xigui didn't say anything about his purpose, everyone in the DPRK and China knew that Su Xigui was wandering around for Huang Zan to go to the capital as a six-department scholar, and when he encountered the affairs of the Nanhu Department in the future, of course he understood not to look for trouble, and he could help as much as possible if he could make a big thing a small one, and he didn't need to do anything on the surface, but secretly helped him to escort Huang Zhan's promotion.

It's not the same as giving a gift to one or two people individually.

If Su Xigui only sent silver to Yang Tinghe, or to the new emperor, then the purpose was not simple, and it would fall into the hands of others.

Now Yang Tinghe knows Su Xigui's purpose, but he can't produce actual evidence, people just like to give silver, and they don't bend the law, what can you do with Su Xigui?

Besides, the silver sent is all in the form of silver tickets, which is very hidden, unless you go to raid the owner's house and get conclusive evidence of the crime, you have to let him admit that this is the silver that Su Xigui bribed......

Yang Tinghe was afraid that he would not dare to make such a big move.

After all, there are not one or two people who receive Su Xi's noble gifts, if you really want to check it, this court may be half empty.

Su Xigui smiled again: "Besides, Huang Gong is just mixing up the name of the six northern departments, and he doesn't want to make any more gains, now this matter should be regarded as a handle for the little master, if Huang Gongzhen does something unfavorable to the court in the future, then the little master can make a fuss about today's things."

"Huh."

Zhu Hao shook his head and smiled, "Lord Su, you are thinking about it very far-reaching."

"Where, where...... By the way, the 38,000 taels of silver that were given away before were given for Huang Gong, and the 30,000 taels given to the little master were a piece of contemptible, these are two things, and they should not be confused. So don't worry, God knows this, you know it, I know it, and no third person will know about it."

Su Xigui is very good at coming to things.

I have said that I am putting Huang Zhan's criminal evidence in your hands, and in the future, if you think Huang Zhan is still a good book, you can use today's bribery of the ministers of the DPRK and China to turn over old accounts at any time.

And it also explained that 30,000 taels was given to you, and it had nothing to do with Huang Zhan's bribery, and no third party knew about it, which meant that Huang Zhan didn't even tell him.

In fact, Su Xigui is tantamount to telling Zhu Hao, I am your person, I am just the last responsibility for Huang Zhan, whether Huang Zhan should be a scholar or not, my future backer will be you Zhu Hao, Huang Zhan is already in the past.

Zhu Hao smiled: "I have to weigh it carefully, whether the 30,000 taels of silver should be collected."

Su Xigui was anxious when he heard this: "You must accept it, if you don't think it's enough, go back and send another one, this court will soon change color...... What the contemptible people are talking about is not about changing the dynasty, but about the family members of this court, who want to change from the surname Yang to the surname Zhu."

Zhu Hao smiled, "What you say is very disrespectful."

"Hehe, the contemptible person is talking about the country's surname."

Su Xigui made up for his words.

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao nodded, "Listen to this. In this way, the matter of these 30,000 taels must still be known to a third person, and I will tell Your Majesty the truth."

"Huh!?"

Su Xigui was stunned.

You really report everything! You said these 30,000 taels, aren't you afraid to cause unnecessary trouble for your future?

Zhu Hao said: "I'll just say that this is the owner of the Su in order to express his filial piety to His Majesty for building trains, railways and big ships, and it is used in public offices, and some of them will also adjust the effect of the inner government...... Anyway, those nobles in the inner palace have been living a very dull life recently."

Su Xigui smiled and said, "With your support, the inner government is still short of money? Am I ...... Again...... Send it?"

Su Xigui thought that Zhu Hao was crying poor.

But how can there be any reason in this world to cry for the nobles of the palace?

There is a shortage of silver in the palace, but Empress Dowager Zhang and those concubines in the palace or something, Zhu Si and his wife are not short of silver at all, on the contrary, the purse is very bulging, which is all dependent on Zhu Hao's strategy.

If Zhu Hao wants Zhu Si to trust, it is necessary to make Zhu Si feel rich in life, and the silver can be dispatched at any time, so he doesn't have to rely on the household department for everything, just go to Zhu Hao directly.

"There is still silver in the inner house.

But it's not on the account, it's here......" Zhu Hao pointed to his heart.

Meaning, the silver is in me.

Su Xigui sighed: "Also, now in the court, there are too many people who restrict Your Majesty, thanks to the little master, you are not only your own family or the home of the silver number, but even the country is also in your hands."

Let's slap the ass again.

"Alright, let's eat."

Zhu Hao said, "I may have to go back and see Yang Yongxiu and tell him about meeting today...... I said that I heard that you want to give a gift to Your Majesty, but you have no way...... Do you think that will work?"

Su Xigui continued to be happy: "It's up to you, you have the final say."

……

……

Su Xigui is more and more like a politician, not like a businessman.

Zhu Hao even felt that maybe Su Xigui was also very suitable to be the secretary of the household department.

It's just that Su Xigui has no fame, and he still has a very bad habit, that is, mercenary...... Everything must be weighed on the scales first, and only those who can make money dare to make money.

The principle of such a person is silver.

To put it mildly, there is not even a principle.

Seeing that he was messing with him Zhu Hao, he could make a big difference, and even Huang Zhan, who was carrying him, could be thrown aside.

Can this kind of person be of great use?

No matter how the Ming Dynasty changes, scholars are officials, at least there are principles, and Zhu Hao will not change it casually...... Scholars finally know etiquette, righteousness and shame, although this kind of etiquette and honesty is more just lip service, but it is more or less to care about face.

The next day.

Zhu Hao went to Li Tingxiang and asked him about asking for leave, and Li Tingxiang agreed with Zhu Hao's filial piety.

Plus......

Recently, the Hanlin Academy really has nothing to do, saying that the spring lecture is about to start, and Zhu Hao has also been a Japanese lecturer for a period of time, so he may arrange some errands.

But the problem is that Zhu Hao belongs to the younger generation.

The old guys in the Hanlin Courtyard can't get lined up every day, and they are scrambling to go one by one, if the emperor doesn't take the initiative to propose, who can arrange it for Zhu Hao?

Dream on!

Zhu Hao's leave is also a good thing, maybe Li Tingxiang thinks that Zhu Hao is about to be transferred out of the Hanlin Academy and go to the local government to become an official.

In the previous joint event, Zhu Hao was the chief and the most guilty.

The emperor's other powers are not very stable, but to transfer a Hanlin to a local official, it is just a matter of one sentence, and even Yang Tinghe will not come forward to protect it.
