Zhu Si had to return to the palace that night and would not stay in Sixianju, but Zhang Zuo consciously stayed.

In the dead of night, when he accompanied Zhu Hao to review the recital, Zhang Zuo took out another recital from his arms and handed it to Zhu Hao.

"...... this?"

Zhu Hao looked at Zhang Zuo.

Don't put it in the public recital, but put it in his arms, Zhang Zuo is restrained by nature and will not be so unruly, then there is only one explanation, and Zhu Si asked him to do it.

Zhang Zuowei was puzzled: "This is the resignation of the old Sun Butang of the household department, and Sun Butang has also reached the eighth part."

Zhu Hao took it over and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was Sun Jiao's resignation form.

The rhetoric is like that, not too gorgeous, but it lacks Yang Tinghe's exhortatory tone, more like the minister doesn't want to do it, or directly picks the child, from this performance, I can't see how much responsibility Sun Jiao has for this country, only reveals that he wants to live a small life behind closed doors.

This is probably the essential difference between Sun Jiao and Yang Tinghe.

Sun Jiao was dedicated to living a stable life, and he never thought about contributing to the Ming Dynasty, so he wished he would retire early.

Although Yang Tinghe formed a fierce struggle with the imperial power, he had a sense of responsibility for the Ming Dynasty, and the feelings of the courtiers for the country and the people were in it.

Zhang Zuo saw that Zhu Hao was carefully reading Sun Jiao's resignation, and his voice softened: "Your Majesty's will, Sun Lao's this, is also up to you. In fact, whether Mr. Sun retreats or not, it all depends on what you mean, Mr. Zhu."

In fact, Zhu Si didn't think Sun Jiao was such an indispensable figure.

The reason why Sun Jiao stayed, Zhu Si was more on Zhu Hao's face, and Sun Jiao was his Anlu fellow villager, which was the important minister of the court that Zhu Youqi, the king of Laoxing, deliberately befriended and wooed at the beginning, from a personal point of view, Zhu Si only likes people from Xingwangfu, especially Zhu Hao, if others have a little holiday with him, he doesn't want to stay.

This can also see Zhu Si's character.

Lack of gratitude.

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao nodded and didn't mention it again.

……

……

Zhu Hao set a time limit for Zhu Si to be three days.

It seems that it has to be reconsidered, but in fact, it means that Yang Tinghe's resignation must be agreed within three days, and Yang Tinghe must return to his hometown in Sichuan.

As long as Yang Tinghe can go, the emperor should still act, and the monarchs and ministers are reluctant, taking care of Yang Tinghe when he leaves the capital, and receiving him after returning to his hometown...... In short, everything that can be given is given, and everything that can be taken care of is taken care of, as long as you get out, do you care about a little favor?

Yang Tinghe had long been sure that he was leaving, and he was arranging every moment, and he didn't care when the emperor agreed.

On Zhu Hao's side, he has to grasp the three days and try to do something to change the pattern of the court.

The next day, Zhu Hao went to the Ministry of Officials and walked around, because Zhu Hao was not a member of the Ministry of Officials, he didn't even need to go to the Yamen every day to order Mao, when he came out of the Ministry of Officials, he happened to meet the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and now he has become Wang Jun of the Ministry of Rites.

Wang Jun didn't know Zhu Hao, plus there were people around him, so he just glanced at Zhu Hao inadvertently.

Seeing Zhu Hao's age, and then looking at the official uniform on his body, in fact, Wang Jun could probably guess who this young man was, but as Wang Jun, he didn't need to contact a middle- and lower-level official, and walked directly into the yamen of the ministry with an expressionless face.

"Sir."

Yu San found four husbands this time and carried a sedan chair for Zhu Hao.

For the general officials in the capital, it is relatively convenient to take a carriage, a horse and a coachman, the cost of maintenance is relatively low, and it is also convenient to travel or something, go wherever you want, occasionally rush to the road and add a few whips, and run fast.

Only the big guys will choose to take a sedan chair, also because the cost of maintaining a sedan chair is relatively high.

This time, Zhu Hao came to the ministry to perform his duties, and one change was that he was ready to sit in a sedan chair from now on.

This is to reflect a posture of slowing down the pace of life, he used to be on duty in the Hanlin Academy, but he needs to be in a hurry, showing that he is vigorous and enterprising.

And now as an idle clerk,

It doesn't seem to have changed, but it has to show that he is really relaxed and doesn't care about the current officialdom frustration.

Take a sedan chair, at least more comfortably, so that Zhu Hao can take a nap on the road or think about things.

Zhu Hao Shi Ran got on the bridge and signaled to go to the next destination.

……

……

The sedan chair stopped in front of a theater building.

Su Xigui waited for a long time.

This time, Su Xigui went to Beijing, the main purpose was to transfer Huang Zan to Beijing, because the two positions of the six military department and the household department seem to have changed soon, and everyone knows that Peng Ze and Sun Jiao will not work for long, and now it is a critical time for Yang Tinghe to be a minister.

For Su Xigui, fighting for Huang Zan may be the best opportunity.

If you can't fight again this time, if you will transfer Huang Zan to the capital in the future, you will have to wait for at least half a year or even a year.

And Huang Zan has been in the position of Nanjing Hubu Shangshu for almost three years, and this time after the three-year examination, it is still a question whether Huang Zan can continue to be an official, maybe he will directly give a false position and return to his hometown.

After all, Huang Zan is not young.

「…… It's a little bit of a gift."

Su Xigui has always used silver to open the way, and this time is no exception, directly stuffing the silver first.

In the past, it was necessary to carry silver to each family, but now it is straightforward, and the silver ticket can be presented.

Zhu Hao looked at the number on it, it was only ten thousand taels.

It doesn't seem like much, but if you add the sporadic money given by Su Xigui before, the cost of repairing the railway for Zhu Si alone exceeded 150,000 taels, of which 120,000 taels were transferred by Zhu Hao.

The mining cost is also more than 100,000 taels.

Opening a silver number does not count, after all, it is an investment.

Then there is the personal bribe given to Zhu Hao, and it is also eighty or ninety thousand taels that Zhu Hao transferred to mine and build railways, plus this ten thousand taels, almost one hundred thousand taels.

In this way, Su Xigui is really rich.

Zhu Hao used to laugh directly every time, but this time he confiscated it, but pushed it back.

Su Xigui was shocked: "Little master, ...... are you?"

Zhu Hao said: "Recently, there is no shortage of silver in the imperial court, and there is no shortage on my side, so you put it away first and use it when it is critical."

didn't refuse directly, but told Su Xigui that you would send it back later.

Although Su Xigui didn't quite understand what Zhu Hao meant, he still took the silver ticket back as he said, but couldn't help but ask, "Yang Ge Lao Zhishi, how long will it take?"

"Three days." Zhu Hao said.

"Shhh...... Okay!"

After thinking about it, Su Xigui said his most heartfelt evaluation.

Yang Tinghe was in the dynasty, and the pressure exerted by the civilian faction was very great, especially the ministers left over from the previous dynasty like Huang Zhan, this pressure would make every official tremble when doing things, after all, Yang Tinghe was not so easy to fool.

Now that Yang Tinghe wants to retreat, even if Huang Zan can't be transferred to the capital as the sixth Shangshu, at least for Huang Zan it is a relief.

"How long will it take for the Hubu Shangshu and the Military Department Shangshu to be vacant?"

Su Xigui inquired about the news from Zhu Hao again.

These gossip will also be spread outside, and even some people have noses and eyes, but if it is genuine, it is still Zhu Hao who is more reliable, after all, Zhu Hao can access the most core secrets, and some things are decided directly by Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao said: "The secretary of the military department may be vacant in one or two months, and the secretary of the household department will have to wait until the end of the year."

Su Xigui said with a smile: "But the contemptible people heard that Yang Ge Lao Zhishi wanted to pull Sun Shangshu with him......

Zhu Hao flattened his mouth, shook his head and said, "I won't let Old Man Sun retreat."

A very domineering sentence.

No matter who wants Sun Jiao to retreat, if I don't let him retreat, he won't be able to retreat.

This was originally a very encouraging word for Su Xigui, after all, Su Xigui is now looking forward to Zhu Hao, and he is determined to follow Zhu Hao in the future, but thinking that if Sun Jiao can't retreat and can't vacate the seat, it will be difficult to transfer Huang Zan to the capital as a scholar.

「

It's a pity......

Su Xigui said.

Zhu Hao understood what Su Xigui meant, and said with a smile, "Now there are two choices in front of Huang Gong."

"Oh? Speak, little master."

Su Xigui's eyes widened.

Zhu Hao said: "First, he entered the cabinet as a bachelor of Hanlin and became a master after half a year. One is to be the secretary of the military department, which can be done for one to two years."

The words were not long, but Su Xigui's eyes widened more and more when he listened.

Su Xigui looked around, there was no one else in the private room, but he wasn't sure if there was an ear on the wall, so he asked in a low voice, "Is there still a chance to enter the cabinet?"

Zhu Hao nodded: "If you enter the cabinet, you will have to wait until the end of the year, after Jiang Ge Lao and Mao Ge Lao retire, there will be a vacuum period, the first assistant is Fei Ge Lao or Liu Ge Lao, and the candidates for the increase in the cabinet have not been decided for the time being, the current idea is to transfer Yang Lao from Zhenjiang in the south and Xie Lao from Yuyao, Zhejiang to come back, or only transfer one person, empty two, Huang Butang can take the opportunity to enter the cabinet."

"This ...... It's good."

Su Xigui smiled.

They are all important ministers in the court, and for Huang Zhan, how long he works doesn't seem to matter so much.

Huang Zan is an official fan and is not greedy for money, in fact, Huang Zan is still very willing to pay for the official position, Su Xigui is very clear about his brother-in-law's character, and knows the road to enter the cabinet, I am afraid that Huang Zan never dreamed of it before.

But now that Zhu Hao is planning for him, it is simply ......

"As for the secretary of the military department, it will have to wait until October, but at that time, Jiang Ge Lao may be the first assistant, and Huang Butang may not have an advantage when he pushes in the court, but if he waits for the beginning of the next year, the secretary of the military department may change again, and then Huang Butang will be almost ten stable as the secretary of the military department."

"Yes, it's good."

Su Xigui didn't have much interest this time.

Zhu Hao said: "In the front, the road to the cabinet is not smooth, or it will suffer some criticism, and after entering the cabinet, it is only used as a transition, in the middle of the next year, after the cabinet personnel structure is stable, Huang Butang will basically retire. As for the military department, it is justifiable, but the responsibility will be greater, because in the past two years, the northwest has been using troops continuously, and this year is just a short rest after inheriting the blessing of last year's victory in the war."

Su Xigui said, "Then can you wait for the contemptible people to discuss with Huang Gong before making a decision?"

"Say it to your face, don't write a letter."

Zhu Hao advised, "I have only talked to you about this kind of thing, and I haven't even mentioned it to Your Majesty."

As soon as Su Xigui heard it, he knew that Zhu Hao had already taken care of the court affairs.

He was very excited: "The contemptible person should go back to Nanjing in person and mention it to Huang Gong in person, and he will not be known to the fourth person."
