For Yang Tinghe, this is just a matter of moving his mouth.

But for Liu Chun and Sun Jiao, it can make them break their legs.

Liu Chun had no way to refuse, since his boss had given an order, he could only go to talk to Sun about something, who made Daming a place that pays attention to seniority? Although they are both cabinet scholars, those who enter the cabinet first have a higher status and greater power than those who enter the cabinet later, and Liu Chun can only obey orders.

Sun Jiao has a choice and can turn a blind eye.

There is a conflict between your monarchs and ministers, why should I come forward to be a peacemaker?

But now Yang Tinghe considered that Sun Jiao might refuse, so he asked Liu Chun to come to Sun Jiao to explain the stakes, and Yang Tinghe meant that the future mining would refer to the precedent of Huangzhuang and Huangdian, and all of them would be hung in the name of the household department, which was also in line with Sun Jiao's original intention that all accounts should be in the hands of the household department.

Sun Jiao pondered carefully.

Regardless of whether this is Zhu Hao's plan or not, even if Zhu Hao wants to make a profit from it, it can't make the emperor's small treasury self-contained and never under the jurisdiction of the household department.

It is not an easy task for ordinary ministers to face saints.

First of all, we have to find someone to communicate, and then wait for the meeting, and we have to see whether the emperor has time, and even more importantly, whether the emperor is willing to give face.

Sun Jiao has been waiting outside the Donghua Gate since noon, and has been waiting for nearly two hours, the sun is about to set, Zhang Zuo appeared in front of the Donghua Gate, and took Sun Jiao to meet him.

"Sun Butang, you shouldn't have come."

Zhang Zuo's tone was filled with a bit of regret.

Sun Jiao understood that neither the new emperor, Zhang Zuo, nor Zhu Hao wanted Sun Jiao to be involved in this dispute between the emperor and Yang Tinghe.

Sun Jiaodao: "Regarding the mining of the imperial court, a lot of assets are involved, and Sun, as the secretary of the household department, has an unshirkable responsibility!"

Zhang Zuo shook his head and smiled, not correcting anything.

……

……

It wasn't until dark that Zhang Zuo left the palace.

After leaving the palace, he went straight to Yang Tinghe's mansion.

Regardless of life, you Yang Jiefu asked Liu Renzhong to come to me, which means that you are the initiator of this matter, so now that I have talked to Your Majesty, if I don't talk to you Yang Jiefu, who should I talk to?

Yang Tinghe study.

Even though Yang Shen, who had brought Sun in, wanted to stay and observe, he was still ruthlessly expelled from the room by Yang Tinghe.

After Yang Tinghe invited Sun Jiao to sit down, the two were separated by a coffee table, and Yang Tinghe wanted to let his subordinates serve tea, but Sun Jiao stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Let's be straight, the old man has entered the palace to see His Majesty."

In terms of age, Sun Jiao is six years older than Yang Tinghe, even if he is not as old as Yang Tinghe, it is okay to be long in front of Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe nodded: "I think Ren Zhong has already conveyed the meaning of the next one, I don't know what the like-minded brother said to His Majesty?"

Sun Jiao said, "Let's talk about His Majesty's opinion...... His Majesty's meaning is to leave the matter of mining to the household department, and ...... for the time being. Not feasible!"

"Oh."

When Yang Tinghe heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, what does this mean that a conversation has collapsed?

Sun Jiao sighed and said, "Your Majesty's intention, if the affairs of the court and the central government are only changed because of the ministers' participation, then where is the emperor's prestige? In addition, the opening of the mine involves a lot of interests, and if it is rashly handed over to the household department, it will seriously affect the income of the inner government, after all, the palace has relied on some additional input support in the past two years. You should also know that the inner house has been living a tight life for the past two years......

Yang Tinghe didn't want to listen to these soups.

The little emperor asked Old Man Sun to pass the word and came to me to complain?

I don't care if you live a tight life in the palace, now the palace income is not restricted by the imperial court, this is the most terrible, and mining is easy to disturb the local people's livelihood, really when the emperors of the Ming Dynasty didn't have to think about this kind of thing? The only one who dares to carry it out is you, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!

Forget who threw you off the throne of the emperor?

Sun Jiaoben will continue

, but was interrupted by Yang Tinghe reaching out.

Yang Tinghe said, "Like-minded brother, you can say it clearly, does Your Majesty offer any conditions?"

In Yang Tinghe's view, since it is a negotiation, it is a tug of war.

If the emperor doesn't open any conditions and only says that he doesn't agree, then he is a little unfamiliar.

I, the head of the cabinet, have taken the lead in making concessions, but you insist on refusing to back down, then there is no room for turning things around, and if you want to continue to avoid the court, it will be a situation of siege by the ministers.

I don't believe you can hide from the minister all the time!

Sun Jiao said helplessly: "The conditions are really mentioned."

Yang Tinghe saw Sun Jiao's embarrassment, and knew that the conditions offered by the emperor must be difficult to accept.

Yang Tinghe said, "I am the same as you, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Sun Jiao shook his head and sighed, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and it was completely the emperor's ignorance of the conditions, and said, "Your Majesty's intention, the mine should be handed over to the household department, unless Bohu is to be appointed as the right attendant of the household department, specifically to take care of the mining affairs. If it is not possible to serve the right attendant of the household department, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works...... Yes, too."

"Hmph."

Yang Tinghe listened to the emperor's conditions, and thought that it was really difficult to accept.

The emperor has never severed his intention to reactivate Tang Yin, and changed the law to Tang Yin to seek the official position of a squire.

Sun Jiaodao: "From the old man's point of view, this mining matter fell into the hands of Bohu, and there is not much difference between staying in the hands of Zhongguan and Jinyiwei. The old man said that he would think about it again, and by the way, he also asked for the opinions of his colleagues, and then left the palace first. What do you think?"

Yang Tinghe said: "In my opinion, this proposal is naturally unacceptable."

"Hmm."

Sun Jiao nodded, as if he was completely consistent with Yang Tinghe's opinion on this matter, and commented, "Bohu, although he has a certain talent, he has never been to the point of managing a business, and this kind of person should be used with caution. Otherwise, he's the next one! But there is one thing, you don't have to worry too much, that is, Bo Hu really doesn't attach much importance to fame and fortune, most of the time it is just His Majesty's arrangement, and Bo Hu has been shirking."

Sun Jiao didn't forget to help Tang Yin say two good words, he wanted Yang Tinghe to relax his vigilance against Tang Yin, but in fact, it had no effect at all.

Yang Tinghe has never been able to find a master to help the emperor, and Tang Yin is currently the emperor's most famous staff, even if Tang Yin has no intention of officialdom, but as long as he is in Beijing for one day, he will have the opportunity to be used by the new emperor in the future, how can he make the orthodox civil officials in the DPRK and China feel at ease about him?

Sun Jiaodao: "The old man also mentioned to His Majesty that he could hand over the affairs of the mine to Jingdao."

This sentence immediately brought Yang Tinghe's mind back.

Yang Tinghe felt that Sun Jiao's proposal to the emperor was too direct.

As we all know, Zhu Hao and the new emperor's faction are in trouble, this time it is the emperor's trusted Zhang Xuan who came forward to impeach Zhu Hao, causing disputes in the court, and your grandson dares to ask the emperor to let Zhu Hao take care of the mine? It's really to fight for your son-in-law's rights and interests, and he doesn't hesitate to risk offending the emperor.

Who is your grandson?

How did I not know you were on my side?

"Your Majesty has not commented." Sun Jiao added.

Yang Tinghe squinted slightly: "Zhitong, don't you think, shouldn't you have this proposal?"

Sun Jiao smiled: "On the contrary, the old man feels that it is very necessary, although on the surface, Jing Dao is just a jinshi who has only been in the court for two years, and has not done anything yet, but he is at least my grandson's fast son-in-law...... Seeing that the old decay has little time left in the court, if he wants his son-in-law to have a certain effect, and take this opportunity to give it a hand, won't His Majesty sell the face of the old decay?"

Yang Tinghe smiled and said, "Brother Zhi, how can you be a person who disregards the righteousness of the imperial court for personal gain?"

"Hey, Jiefu, you're wrong, I'm not ignoring the righteousness of the court, it's because I think that this kid has a pure character, coupled with his background, or let him be hindered in his future career, I want to help him, in the final analysis, this is also for the cultivation of talents for the Ming Dynasty, can it be regarded as self-interest?"

When Sun Jiao said this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

I say this

What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

Lose your conscience!

What kind of "pure character" is that kid? Is his future still in jeopardy? The person in front of him retreated, I'm afraid that the kid will climb to the position of the first assistant when he turns back, so he still needs me to help him seek? God, please forgive me for my disobedient words, it's all for the sake of the scene.

Yang Tinghe said: "Brother Zhitong is too radical, and he has no intention of doing so, but His Majesty's side should not agree."

Sun Jiao said, "Whether Your Majesty agrees or not, the old man must work hard. Jiefu, if you want to mention it to you, please be sure to promise me."

"Oh?"

Yang Tinghe was puzzled.

Do you old man Sun still have time to beg me?

Sun Jiao said solemnly: "I only ask that if this matter is really done, Jingdao will not be considered your protégé in the future, and you will no longer be allowed to give orders to Jingdao, even if it is Linglang and the people around you!"

Yang Tinghe was silent for a while.

Sun Jiao seems to have some killer tricks that have not been used, so he will negotiate conditions with him.

"I know what you're thinking. In fact, as you said, Lao Yu would rather let Jing Dao become a fledgling new science scholar without a faction, rather than let him be involved in endless court disputes, but before he fell deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of the court, Lao Yu saw that he was anxious in his eyes, but he was unable to do anything for him."

Sun Jiao's words were earnest.

It seems that he can do things for Yang Tinghe in exchange for Zhu Hao to get a "free body".

Yang Tinghe said, "If you help him, will it not help him in the future?"

Sun Jiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Jiefu, let's be honest, there's nothing to avoid, what do you think? As a courtier, shouldn't the king's interests be the highest pursuit, and in the name of loyalty, do those things that embarrass the king? Since His Majesty ascended the throne, except for some paranoia about the number of birth rites, His Majesty doesn't seem to have made any major mistakes, right?"

These words really stopped Yang Tinghe.

After Zhu Si ascended the throne, he seemed to have a lot of nonsense, but most of them were just fierce arguments with the ministers in the court.

Most of the time, the little emperor does not hold grudges, and does not say that he is willful and reckless to act against the minister, even if there is a dispute, he is only right about things and not people. Even if he Yang Tinghe, no matter how much suspicion the emperor usually has, he will always be respected by the emperor.

Yang Tinghe said, "Zhitong, what can you do to get Your Majesty to agree?"

Sun Jiaodao: "There is no other way, only if you don't advance, you will retreat. The old man put aside the cruel words, if today's proposal, Your Majesty does not agree, then in the future, I will never see my grandson in the court again, no matter how much income from this mining matter, it is still under the control of the Zhongguan, but it is just the account of the household department, is it completely unacceptable to Your Majesty? Or is it that Your Majesty can't even tolerate me as a household secretary?"

"Isn't this the reason why your husband came to me to come forward?"
