Sun Jiao is now addicted to being an official.

In the past, I didn't want to return to the dynasty because I didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the emperor and the civil faction, and I didn't want to survive in the cracks, so I would live a very aggrieved life.

But now that Sun Jiao has gone beyond the scope of an ordinary household book, there are vague signs of becoming a powerful minister, and he must think carefully about anyone else, is it a pity to retreat like this.

Even if you don't want to be an official, don't you want to realize your ambitions?

But whoever is an official, who doesn't want to make his official position bigger, have higher authority, and have more say in the court.

After being "appeased" by his son-in-law, Sun Jiao finally figured out that he would prefer to stay in the court to make a difference, so his anger disappeared and he was ready to do something after he went back.

Don't you think I'm going to be a party of my own?

Then form a party for you!

Who said that Tobe Shangshu is not qualified to compete with the first assistant of the cabinet?

It's good that Daming's money bag is under my control, no matter how awesome you are, don't you have to rely on me for everything?

Besides, now the emperor is very supportive of the household department, see what you Yang Jiefu can do.

……

……

Sun handed it over.

Zhu Hao came out of the study and happened to see Yu Chengxun waiting for him outside the door.

Yang Shen was not in the Hanlin Academy that day, Yu Chengxun knew that Sun Jiao came to see Zhu Hao, so he naturally wanted to know what Weng and his son-in-law said, and now Sun Jiao has formed a big force in the court, Yang Shen told Yu Chengxun in detail.

「…… Elder Sun is just here to tell me about some family matters." Zhu Hao spoke very perfunctorily, revealing an attitude that I was lying, but I didn't want to tell you.

Yu Chengxun said, "Jingdao, don't feel embarrassed...... It would be better to say what is going on."

Zhu Hao sighed: "Then let me ask Brother Mao Gong, what is the situation of Sun Lao now in the court? I mean, which side is he leaning into? Don't say anything about doing things for the court regardless of factions, can I still have dealings with him in the future?"

"This ......"

Yu Chengxun didn't know what to say for a while.

Previously, Yang Shen said something emotional to Zhu Hao in public, and he seemed to envy Zhu Hao's casualness and treat Zhu Hao as a confidant in his life.

said so, but in fact, from Yang Tinghe to Yang Shen, he had to deliberately alienate Zhu Hao, because Zhu Hao could no longer become the core figure of Yang Tinghe faction.

From Zhu Hao being arranged to Nanjing to investigate the case, and then to serving in the mine for two months on behalf of Yang Shen after returning to Beijing, Zhu Hao has actually been put into a separate book by the emperor, and his political future is bleak in the future, and because Zhu Hao was born in Anlu, Yang Tinghe had doubts about Zhu Hao, and he could no longer tell Zhu Hao the most important things.

It is equivalent to saying that Yang Shen and Zhu Hao are now more personal relations, and the two sides no longer have any intersection in terms of official affairs.

If Yang Shen still wants to use Zhu Hao's background to spy on any information, or let Zhu Hao do something to participate in the joint performance, it is purely a use, not a full cooperation between political allies.

Zhu Hao said: "Elder Sun actually probably understands, among the civil officials, he is no longer trusted, and His Majesty has long lost patience with him. He is now bent on finishing what he is doing and leaving the court early."

Yu Chengxun was surprised: "He wants to return to his hometown?"

Zhu Hao shrugged: "Hasn't he always been like this?"

"But ......"

Yu Chengxun almost blurted out, now that Old Man Sun has become the leader of a force to be reckoned with in the DPRK, he is so willing to retreat?

But there are some things he can't tell Zhu Haoming.

Zhu Hao said: "The relationship between me and Sun Lao is more just a matter of internal family contacts, and he rarely talks about official business, so he doesn't need to tell me and Pan, right? If he has any ideas, it's better to ask him himself."

In other words, Old Man Sun expressed his thoughts in front of me, and if you don't believe it, don't think I'm lying to you.

Old man Sun is so cunning, why does he need to tell me so much?

Just because I'm his son-in-law?

There is even a gap between the biological father and son in the officialdom, and you are also a son-in-law, is there anything your father-in-law will know everything about you?

Don't be naïve, it's weird that he came to see me, and he could say something useful.

Yu Chengxun is also the son-in-law of Quan Chen in the end, relying on the prestige of his father-in-law Yang Tinghe to mix in the court, others give him face, it is better to give Yang Tinghe face, he seems to understand the situation that Zhu Hao said, nodded at the moment, and did not ask any more.

……

……

After Yu Chengxun went back in the afternoon, he found Yang Shen and told him about Sun Jiao's visit to Zhu Hao.

Yang Shen frowned: "Sun Zhitong is now receiving the Holy Grace, is he willing to give up the fame and fortune in front of him and go back to be a rural scatterer?" If he really wanted to be a priest earlier, why did he have to talk to Jingdao alone about this?"

In other words, he didn't believe that Sun Jiao went to Zhu Hao just to say that he wanted to do something.

Yu Chengxun said: "With cultivation, I don't doubt Jingdao's words, because Sun Butang should know that Jingdao has a close relationship with us, how can he tell Jingdao in detail about his intentions and positions?"

"That's just as well."

Yang Shen pondered for a moment and couldn't help nodding.

In Yang Shen's eyes, Sun Jiao has become an old woman who is a cunning old fox-like figure.

Such a person knew that Zhu Hao was close to him Yang Shen, how could he tell Zhu Hao the detailed situation?

Maybe Sun Jiao's purpose in coming to Zhu Hao was to let them ask what Zhu Hao had said, and then distrust Zhu Hao and force Zhu Hao to move closer to his Sun Jiao faction?

If it is analyzed purely from the surface of the matter, it is indeed impossible for Sun Jiao to come to Zhu Hao just to talk about some family affairs or simple things to be done, but if Sun Jiao is regarded as an old fox at a deep level, then it is difficult to guess his intentions.

In this way, it cannot be said that Zhu Hao is hiding something.

Yu Chengxun said: "Sun Butang is in the court, and his power is just rising now, and most of the people who are close to him are some unwilling old ministers in the court, or some upstarts who have not yet been valued, these people are mostly flatterers of flies and dogs, in fact, in my opinion, there is no need to worry at all."

Yu Chengxun didn't take Sun Jiaotai seriously.

Under Yang Tinghe's high pressure, if Wenchen Dan has done something, who will move closer to the third-party faction?

It is polite to say that those people are flattering people who are flies and dogs, it is polite, it is precisely because they can't get Yang Tinghe's appreciation, and they want to go directly to the emperor and have no way, so they will consider moving closer to Sun Jiao, these people are not pure in motives, how can they be people who have made a difference?

Yang Shen said, "Is it possible for him to take Jingdao for his own use?"

"Ugh...... It seems like it's possible."

Yu Chengxun's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand something, "After using the cultivation of you, I think it must be so...... Among the younger generation, Jingdao is also considered to be the best, right? Sun Butang is in the Han Garden, and he really needs a young man like Jing Dao to listen to his orders. Maybe it's because Sun Butang tried to solicit that Jingdao is not easy to say in front of us."

Yang Shen shook his head: "I still feel that something is wrong...... It stands to reason that no matter what Sun Zhitong's purpose is, he shouldn't go directly to Hanyuan to find Jingdao, it's incredible."

Yang Shen still has a mind.

He couldn't figure it out, as the head of Sun Jiaohu's Shangshu, whether it was a family matter or an official matter, there was no need to go to the Hanlin Academy to find Zhu Hao in person, just like when Zhu Hao returned to Beijing last year, Liu Chun should not have gone to the Hanlin Academy to find Zhu Hao in person.

It's all a bit "overstepping".

It is more than the specifications that should be used to receive juniors.

Admire someone, send someone to pass the word, let him go and meet on his own, you give it a meeting, that is a great gift for later life.

Now he took the initiative to run to see it, as if he was not afraid of losing face at all.

Liu Chun can also explain that this is to thank Zhu Hao for saving his life before.

Sun Jiao did this, how to explain it?

said that Old Man Sun missed his son-in-law, so he had to go to the Hanlin Courtyard to see him, and he had to make trouble to the point that everyone knew about it?

So Yang Shen couldn't figure out how Zhu Hao was really so important

, can Sun Jiaojun take the initiative to meet him, and he is not afraid of other people's gossip?

……

……

Yang Shen didn't think about it, but he didn't go to tell Yang Tinghe.

In other words, Yang Tinghe, if he knew about this, he would definitely have further suspicions about Zhu Hao.

But now there is also a gap between Yang Shen and Yang Tinghe.

As a son, now he does things for his father, and he is no longer as unreserved and dedicated as before, and some things will be hidden in his heart and no longer be expressed.

On the other hand, the formation of the Sun Jiao faction has become clearer.

The next day, in the court, Sun Jiao directly proposed to extend the term of office of Zang Feng, the governor of Xuanda, in the capacity of the secretary of the household department, and openly opposed Yang Tinghe's proposal to abolish the governor of Xuanda and the governor of the three sides.

For a time, the court was full of gunpowder.

If it was said that Sun Jiao's formation of a party was still in the bud before, this time he directly put the conflict on the surface and told others that he Sun Jiao was now going to break with Yang Tinghe.

Zhu Si asked curiously, "Sun Qing's family, according to what you said, the Tatars may make a comeback this year, but judging from the current situation, there is no sign of this. Although whether or not there is a general system in the northwest is just a matter of one sentence, the presence of a general system will mean that the military situation in the northwest is urgent, and many things related to the tuntian and people's livelihood will have to be abandoned, which will have a great impact on the lives of the military and the people...... Do you have a better reason?"

Now Zhu Si has become a theater watcher.

Many ministers felt that Sun Jiao should be on the side of the little emperor before he came forward to oppose the abolition of the governor of Xuanda and the governor of the three sides.

However, the core figures of Yang Tinghe and the faction now feel that Sun Jiao is ready to form the first emperor in the court, and he is inclined to the new emperor on the surface, but in fact, after the fall of Yang Tinghe faction, a new civil official faction will be formed to fight against the emperor.

This is a battle between the old and the new of the civilian faction.

Of course, now the new faction is headed by Sun Jiao, and the main opinion of the DPRK and China is still inclined to the new emperor, relying on the protection of the new emperor to fight with the old faction headed by Yang Tinghe.

In this way, the emperor can condescend and sit and watch the people below fight.

From the emperor's point of view, he is actually happy to see this scene.

Sun Jiao said: "After more than a year of war in the northwest, the wilderness is deserted, and the people have no fixed residence, so we must take measures to reassure the people in the name of the general system. This is not only to prevent the resurgence of the Tatars, but also to strengthen the protection of the people in the northwest, and it can be said that there is something to rely on in advance and retreat......

"If you only serve as the governor to prime minister the military and civilian affairs of the northwest, once there is a matter of overall planning and dispatch of various places, it will be difficult to take into account the overall situation. Your Majesty, please think twice."
