Sun Jiao's strong rise in the DPRK is a good thing for the emerging forces.

Even Su Xigui took advantage of the situation to exert his strength on Sun Jiao's side, preparing to send a generous gift to Sun Jiao.

Su Xigui thought so.

Your grandson is in power now, and he must be the best candidate for the secretary of the ministry in the future, even if he is not the secretary of the ministry, the secretary of the military department or the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is destined to have a share of you.

When you move the position of the head of the household, won't you just cheapen my brother-in-law?

Although Sun Jiao and Huang Zan are now one of the Northern Household Department Shangshu and the other is the Southern Household Department Shangshu, it stands to reason that they should be at the same level, but in the eyes of Su Xigui and everyone in the world, Huang Zhan is slightly inferior.

Sun Jiao has no enthusiasm for receiving gifts or anything.

My grandson lacks this bit of your wealth?

Or is my purpose as an official just to receive gifts?

Do you know what ambition is?

If Huang Gongxian is an official just to receive gifts, it is too tasteless.

Su Xigui couldn't give Sun Jiao a gift, so he could only find another way, and naturally thought of Zhu Hao.

Recently, Zhu Hao "opened his mouth", Su Xigui gave what he received, Su Xigui felt that it should be an opportunity, and specially made an appointment to meet Zhu Hao, this time the banquet was in a different place, and directly called Zhu Hao to the Teaching Division, as if now the conversation must have a little wind and snow to help the fun.

Wine table.

Su Xigui gave Zhu Hao tea.

In order to avoid being noticed by the people of the Teaching Division, there is a screen between the wine table and the musicians singing outside.

Su Xigui opened with a superficial intention.

「…… Previously, he sent local products to Sun Shangshu's mansion, but he didn't accept them there, so he had to let the little master help operate. In addition, I would like to ask, how will the court be arranged in the future?"

Sun Jiao, an old slippery man who almost never asked about power struggles in the past, and who saw the wind and the rudder the most in the government and the opposition, has now been pushed to the forefront, needless to say, Zhu Hao is planning behind his back.

But Huang Zan has always stayed in Nanjing, and the matter of the northern transfer has not been settled, this is something that has been arranged before Zhu Si ascended the throne, should it be flexible in time?

Zhu Hao said: "Sun Lao has no idea about local specialties, he is an easy-going person, and he never seeks profit as an official."

"Huh."

Su Xigui smiled and nodded, but his expression was quite disapproving.

Old man Sun is easy-going by nature?

In the past, when you said that, I believed it. But now, with the strength of one person, he is competing with Yang Tinghe faction, is this still called easy-going?

Zhu Hao asked, "Do you know what the biggest thing in the DPRK and China has been about personnel appointments and dismissals recently?"

"This ...... Could it be that Mao Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is invited to return due to illness?" Su Xigui asked.

Obviously, where Su Xigui is, it is impossible to hide the affairs there, and whenever there is any disturbance in the officialdom, Su Xigui is the first to know.

Zhu Hao nodded: "The current progress of the court discussion is to let Luo Qinshun, the secretary of the Southern Officials' Department, go to Beijing to replace Mao Shangshu, and the seat of the Shangshu of the Southern Officials' Department will be vacated, or it will be filled by the Shangshu of the Southern Household Department."

"Huh? This ......."

Su Xigui's expression became hesitant.

Obviously, the secretary of the southern ministry is not the target of Huang Zhan, and from the perspective of the status of the central government, the secretary of the southern ministry must be higher than the secretary of the southern household department.

But in terms of real power, as well as the benefits that can be sought for him Su Xigui, the Shangshu of the Southern Officials Department is a fart, and Su Xigui himself has no plans to become an official, so what substantial benefits can his brother-in-law bring to him by letting his brother-in-law take charge of the Southern Officials' Department? Expect those who seek official positions to come to him in the future to give gifts?

I, Su, am good at spending money to make connections, for myself, not the kind of person who likes to collect money, but wanders around for other people's affairs.

And Huang Zan has never been the kind of person who doesn't even care about the laws of the court for the sake of profit, it's okay to hand over the purchase of the household department to Su Xigui, anyway, it's the same for anyone, but if he sells the official lord with the official book, Huang Zan will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing.

Huang Zan has a brother-in-law like Su Xigui who can make money, and there is no shortage of those three melons and two dates.

"Apparently not

Wish?" Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Su Xigui said: "Huang Gong's transfer to the north of the Ministry of Rites, can you have eyebrows? If so, the contemptible can ......."

Spending money to buy officials?

Or buy a book of rites?

Let's not talk about whether this official position is sold or not, let's just say that the Ministry of Rites is now controlled by Yang Tinghe, even if Mao Cheng retires, Yang Tinghe will allow a person who is not his faction to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites?

Looking for Luo Qinshun to come up, it is also because this person is a master of science, and he has always been in a game with Wang Shouren's psychology, and he was once evenly matched.

Such a person has a reputation in the court and the literary world, coupled with some principles of adhering to the Great Rites Discussion, he will be arranged by Yang Tinghe to replace Mao Cheng.

Even if you Huang Zan have a good reputation as an official, what achievements have you made in the literary world and etiquette?

Why should you Huang Zan be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?

"No."

Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head.

Tell Su Xigui very clearly, don't think about it.

"Oh, contemptible people think about it, that Luo Shangshu has always been famous in Nanjing, and he is tall and arrogant, but he is similar to Yang Ge Lao's temperament, or a good candidate to preside over the Ministry of Rites. But if you transfer anyone from the DPRK to Nanjing, or let someone else be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites......

It can't be done directly by Huang Zan as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so can it be flexible?

For example, transfer a certain Shangshu from the six departments of the Beijing Division to Nanjing as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and vacate his position and hand it over to Huang Zhan?

Or find Sun Jiao and others to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and give up the position of a certain Shangshu or the imperial history of the left capital in the Northern Sixth Department to Huang Zhan?

Zhu Hao couldn't stop laughing.

Lord Su, you are really good at playing tricks, but Huang Zan has your brother-in-law who is good at planning, it is really not easy, it is rare for you Su Xigui to think so much about your brother-in-law, in short, no matter what, I want to find a Shangshu of the North Sixth Department for Huang Zan to be a book, right?

"What's the hurry? Do you think there are a few days left for Elder Yang Ge to be in the court? Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhu Hao smiled.

Su Xigui sighed: "Don't be in a hurry, even if Yang Ge really returns to his hometown in the future, leaving a vacant seat in the court, it may not be Huang Gong's." Huang Gong has suffered too much criticism before, and I heard that there are still people secretly attacking him now...... Those loyal women in the court regard Huang Gong as an enemy, and it is better to go up early than to wait in place and wait."

Huang Zan got close to Zhu Houzhao and did things for Zhu Houzhao.

In addition, Huang Zan has friendships with Wang Qiong, Wang Xian, Lu Wan and others, and also has contacts with female cadres such as Qian Ning, Jiang Bin, and Sanzhang, which makes Huang Zan a very special existence in the DPRK.

Up to now, the reason why Huang Zan has not stepped down from his position is more because Huang Zan was mediated by Yang Tinghe when he was the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, and Yang Tinghe also intended to transfer a capable person to Nanjing at that time, appreciating Huang Zan talent but not Huang Zan character.

Later, when Yang Tinghe wanted to make a move against Nanjing officialdom, Zhu Hao assisted Zhu Si to block the road, and until now, the changes in Nanjing officialdom have not involved too many factors of party contention.

Huang Zan was able to stay in Nanjing.

Maybe Huang Zan and Su Xigui both know that if Huang Zan can't take the throne early, after the new emperor completely controls the government, maybe Huang Zan will be liquidated together because he is the person recommended and promoted by Yang Tinghe, even if Zhu Hao will come forward, there will still be many people in the court who regard Huang Zan as Yang Ting and his comrades.

Partisanship......

Many times there are no clear boundaries.

Huang Zan obviously couldn't take refuge in Yang Tinghe, but because his promotion to Nanjing Hubu Shangshu was related to Yang Tinghe, others would also classify him as Yang Dang.

Zhu Hao Zhengse said: "Let's put it this way, before Yang Ge Lao Zhishi, Sun Butang will either retire in advance, or go further, and in the Shangshu of the Northern Household Department or the Shangshu of the Northern Military Department, there will definitely be a place for Huang Gong."

"Huh?"

Su Xigui didn't expect Zhu Hao's answer to be so "direct".

Before, it was just a flatbread.

This time it's a direct showdown.

Su Xigui was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "If this is the case, 200,000 taels of silver must be sent to the little master."

Zhu Hao is tantamount to selling

The official vacancies of the military department or the household department will benefit from 200,000 taels.

Or how can you say that Su Xigui is generous?

Previously, Su Xigui came to Beijing to give a gift, and only mentioned Huang Zan when he gave gifts, and he didn't even have a political purpose, so he gave out seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, and now Zhu Hao really wants to help Huang Zan get rid of the vacancy of the six northern Shangshu, and it doesn't seem that he sent too many hundred thousand taels.

But it's actually quite a lot.

If it were someone else, let alone 200,000 taels, even 2,000 taels might not be able to get it.

For example, Sun Jiao, Sun Jiao's family background may not even be 1,000 taels, the mansion in the capital is still arranged by Zhu Si, and he can't even afford a house in Beijing, and the ordinary three-courtyard house where an official in Beijing lives in it, even if the ground is not good, it will cost at least more than 1,000 taels of silver.

Su Xigui is equivalent to taking out about 200 Jingshi mansions at a time to exchange for the position of Shangshu of the six departments of Huang Zhanbei.

After all, Huang Zan himself is the secretary of the southern household department, and the transfer to the sixth secretary of the northern department is not beyond the regulations, and it can only be regarded as a horizontal transfer, so he is willing to spend such a large amount of money to dredge it, which shows that Su Xigui and Huang Zan are enthusiastic about this official position of the sixth northern department.

Huang Zan has been an official in his life, and he has gained money and fame, but he has not obtained the position of Shangshu of the Northern Sixth Department that he dreamed of.

This is also a different person being an official, and the purpose is also different, Huang Zan may be working hard for the sake of his posthumous name.

"Okay, then I'll write it down for you first, your silver is not for me, but for Your Majesty." Zhu Hao said, "But I have to say ugly things in front of me......

Su Xigui was a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "Please speak."

Zhu Hao said: "Let's put it this way, if Huang Gong becomes the head of the Northern Sixth Ministry, or it is the end of his career, his term of office may not exceed two years, after all, Huang Gong is in the eventful autumn of the replacement of the old and the new, even if His Majesty and I maintain it more, it will be difficult to resist the torrent of the court rolling forward."

"Oh, understood."

Su Xigui was originally worried that Huang Zhan would be in trouble.

After listening to Zhu Hao's words, he was relieved.

Originally, I didn't expect Huang Zan to be able to work in the Northern Sixth Shangshu for a few more years, and if he could be a Northern Sixth Shangshu for a year or two, it would be enough for Huang Zhan, and for him Su Xigui, it could be regarded as completing the mission.

The reason why it is said to be a mission is because Su Xigui is ready to devote himself to Zhu Hao in the future.

Huang Zhan?

That's all in the past!
