The next day's meeting.

Jiang Mian resigned for the second time, but Zhu Si still refused to allow it. At the same time, Mao Ji was also rejected.

In addition to Jiang Mian and Mao Ji, several Shangshu and Shilang in the court, and the six departments and nine Qings, did not submit their resignations again, probably this resignation should also maintain a rhythm, one round, the emperor is not too radical about the big ceremony, and the ministers should also leave a little leeway in their resignation, so as to ensure that the monarch and the ministers do not completely tear their faces.

Regarding the matter of choosing one of the three Hanlin scholars to enter the cabinet, it has not been decided for the time being.

At the court meeting, they discussed for a long time, and finally brought back the question of who was the head of the household department, but they couldn't hold on to each other, and no accurate answer was given, and finally the topic was shelved.

After all, the autumn harvest was over that year, and Sun Jiao had completed all the basic errands, so there was no need to be in a hurry at this time, and most of the matters were handed over to the two household servants, as well as the officials of the governor Jingcang, and there was no mistake.

At the same time, Sun Jiao did not wait for the new Hubu Shangshu to be selected, and returned to Huguang with his family.

Zhu Hao, as a son-in-law, naturally wants to send him off.

When Sun Jiao came to the capital, he didn't bring any belongings, it can be said that Ziran was alone, and when he left, the big cart and small car loaded a lot of things, because he was going to Huguang, Sun Jiao did not plan to take a boat to go to the canal, but was ready to travel in a carriage, and the family took a total of seven carriages, in addition to more than 20 people from Hu Servants, who followed on horseback, including ten brocade guards sent by the emperor.

It can be said that the scenery is infinite.

Before leaving, Zhu Hao took Sun Lan to the house early in the morning, and Sun Jiao didn't seem to have anything to say to this son-in-law, just briefly told him what to do in the future.

Sun Yuan continued to stay in the Hanlin Academy to do editing, while Sun Jing studied in Guozijian, and now the interests of the Sun family are bound to the new emperor, Sun Jiao as an old minister, when he is the head of the household, he must keep a certain distance from the emperor, but after he leaves, the two sons do not have to abide by the neutral position of the father, with the meaning of Sun Jiao, what do they want, the father will not care.

is also mainly because Sun Yuan and Sun Jing do not have much influence in the DPRK and China, and they can't control the situation, it all depends on their son-in-law turning the clouds and rain and manipulating the overall situation.

"Serve the court well, you don't have to send it out of the city, just say goodbye here." After Sun Jiao finished speaking, with the help of his two sons, he went to the carriage he was riding.

Sun Lan stood there wiping her tears.

Zhu Hao didn't go to see him off, and when Sun handed over the carriage and left, the husband and wife just stood at the door and watched.

Not only the daughter and son-in-law, but also the two brothers Sun Yuan and Sun Jing were not allowed to go out of the city to see each other, and they were all driven back by the stubborn old man Sun Jiao.

"Jingdao, if you have time, let's have a drink and talk." Sun Yuan brought his younger brother over, and when he saw his sister sobbing there, he didn't comfort him, and talked to Zhu Hao first.

Zhu Hao said, "Where will you live in the future?"

Sun Yuan said: "Someone from the Inner Mansion came to inform me before, saying that this mansion is temporarily kept, and our brothers can still live here in the future...... However, in the future, the second brother will live in Guozixue and rarely come back, and I will also rent a house near Hanlin Academy, so I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of this."

As soon as Sun Jiao left, the two brothers of the Sun family lost their backers, and their careers will be greatly affected in the future, Sun Jing as the supervisor of the country has not had such a big impact, and Sun Yuan himself is the emperor in order to appease Sun Jiao was transferred from the local to the capital to be the editor of Hanlin, and now that Sun Jiao is gone, it is estimated that Sun Yuan began to think about the affairs of the local area in the future.

"We can meet again on another day, or come to my house to pay a visit, so you don't need to do it today!"

Sun Jiao left, his wife was in a low mood, and Zhu Hao was not in the mood to drink and talk with the two brothers of the Sun family now.

Sun Yuan was not reluctant, and decided to return to the Hanlin Academy to sit on duty, when Sun Jing came over and asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, I have rarely heard people from outside mention you recently, I wonder what you have been doing recently?"

Compared with his brother, Sun Jing has a more cheerful personality and is a little arrogant.

Although Zhu Hao is his brother-in-law, he speaks quite politely, Zhu Hao also knows that Sun Jing has been getting close to Sun Ru and others recently, and now Sun Jing has also become a member of the ritual faction

Gradually, there are more scholars who tend to have no heirs to the new emperor.

This also reflects the power of public opinion.

Historically, Zhu Houxu's success in the Great Rites Discussion was due to his almost stubborn insistence, as well as the support of public opinion.

Because Zhu Houxu has not been a son to others for a day, coupled with the fact that Xingwangfu is the only seedling of him, the Ming Dynasty has gradually won public opinion for the emperor's move to fight for the title of his biological parents.

Zhu Hao said: "It's nothing, I rarely go to the Hanlin Academy recently, just waiting for the shortage of expatriate officials."

"You're going to be an official in a foreign country?" Sun Jing was puzzled.

Based on the news that Sun Jing got, Zhu Hao is very awesome, although Sun Jiao, Sun Ru and others can't say why, but he still feels that Zhu Hao seems to be a "master" hidden among ordinary people, but in Zhu Hao's tone, he is more like a depressed young official. Sun Yuan said on the side: "Okay, I'll talk about it later...... Remember your father's words, and when you return to your country, you must study hard."

Sun Jiao retreated very resolutely, and until he returned to his hometown in the south, many people still found it incredible.

Originally, Sun Jiaodu was about to become the best candidate for the secretary of the ministry, and he was immediately the most core civil official head in the court, so he patted his ass and left, even the ministers who have always been good friends with Sun Jiao are difficult to understand, especially those officials who are very flattering to Sun Jiao and want to follow Sun Jiao to get ahead.

The list of these people was handed over to Zhu Hao by Sun.

Originally, Sun Jiao said that he wanted to introduce Zhu Hao, but at this time, Zhu Hao was not visible, and Sun Jiao actually didn't know how to introduce Zhu Hao to others.

In addition, Sun Jiao left very suddenly, Sun Jiao just left a letter for those people, so that they could discuss with Zhu Hao if they had something in the future, but the people that Sun Jiao could look at, whether they were officials in the capital or local, were above Zhu Hao in terms of official positions and powers, they would only think that Sun Jiao was paving the way for his son-in-law's career, how could they know that this was actually helping them in reverse?

When Zhu Hao went to meet with Zhang Zuo, returned a batch of newly approved songs, and took away the new batch of notes by the way, Zhang Zuo mentioned Sun Jiao's departure from Beijing.

「…… It is said that the send-off procession is several miles long, and it is estimated that there are many people traveling along the way back to Anlu."

Zhang Zuo sighed.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, no wonder Sun Jiao didn't let me be sent out of the city, the feeling was that he knew his old and his subordinates went to see him off, and he was afraid that I wouldn't know how to deal with it after I went, so he simply asked me to isolate myself from them first.

Zhang Zuo said: "It's a pity that very few of these officials stand on the side of the courtesy, otherwise, ......

What Zhang Zuo means is that Sun Jiao did not leave any considerable political legacy to the emperor, that is, he did not leave some useful ministers to the emperor. Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Father-in-law Zhang, let's distinguish whether a person can do things for Daming Zhongxing in the future, it doesn't seem to be based on whether he supports the Great Rites Discussion, right? In the current state of the imperial court, even if some people have the idea of supporting the ceremony, it is difficult to show it, this is the torrent of the times, the key is not to see what they say now but what they will do in the future?"

Zhang Zuo said, "What Mr. Zhu means...... Is there any one of them available?"

"I don't know."

Zhu Hao didn't make up his mind, he knew what factional views were, from Zhang Zuo's point of view, if he recommended Sun Jiao's old department, it would be regarded as cultivating his own forces, and these people themselves did not support the Great Rites Proposal, and they were easy to be maliciously slandered by Zhang Zuo by the emperor's side.

Even if this kind of slander may not be said directly, as long as Zhang Zuotian says, "Your Majesty, you see that Sun Butang's old ministry doesn't even support the ceremony", with Zhu Si's paranoia about the big ceremony, there will be a kind of boredom, and Zhu Si's trust in Zhu Hao will gradually be eroded

The biggest problem Zhu Hao is facing at the moment is that he can't stay by the emperor's side at all times, which is completely different from a close minister like Zhang Zuo.

Zhu Hao said: "Gonggong Zhang, the predicament we are facing now is that there is no one available in the DPRK and China...... With such a climate in the current climate of deliberation, the most important thing for us is to make changes so that more people can choose to be neutral or not paranoid in the deliberative manner, and then we can identify the available people from among the ministers, don't you think? 「

「

Hmm." Zhang Zuo nodded.

Zhu Hao is actually reminding Zhang Zuo, don't look at those Wenchen with hostile intentions, sometimes it's not that I have to use Sun Jiao to recommend people, but who else can I use besides Sun Jiao's old department?

It's good that when Sun Jiao was the head of the household department in the court, he was a neutral faction, and this was already a rare thing in the court, if even the people recommended by Sun Jiao of the neutral faction couldn't be used, would that make the emperor a lonely man?

When Zhang Zuo was leaving, he suddenly thought of something, and said: "Recently, the Korean State arrested the Japanese people who were making trouble in Zhejiang, and escorted them to Beijing, saying that Nanjing Jinyiwei had sent someone to receive them, you see......

Zhu Hao asked, "Grandpa Zhang is talking about my uncle?" "Hmm."

Zhang Zuo nodded, "Regarding the envoys of the Korean State, how should they be received?" Regarding the diplomacy of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Si had little experience, and Zhang Zuo had no knowledge in this area, and Zhu Si liked to show the majesty of the emperor of the Heavenly Empire in front of the envoys of the vassal states.

Zhu Hao said: "It's better to let Mr. Tang go to receive him, he has nothing else to do recently, find him some work to do, not tired, and let him be in the limelight."

"It's good, it's good." Zhang Zuo smiled.

The Joseon Dynasty escorted the 33 Japanese captured in the battle for tribute, as well as the eight captured Ming people, to the capital, and the envoy sent by the Korean king Li Yi was the criminal Cao Shen sentenced to Chengchang.

In addition to escorting the thieves to the Ming Jingshi, Chengchang also had other purposes, which was to establish a prince for King Li Yi, hoping to get the support of the Ming court. After Chengchang arrived in the capital, he bribed the ministers of the court, among whom the Guogong was the mainstay, and there were traditions and channels for gift-giving between foreign countries and the Ming Dynasty.

And they also prepared a generous gift for Tang Yin, probably knowing that Tang Yin was the husband of the Ming Emperor, he was highly respected, coupled with his idle character, he felt that he could talk to the emperor through Tang Yin.

Tang Yin accepted a big gift for no reason.

In addition to the wealth, Chengchang also sent a beautiful woman from North Korea to congratulate Tang Yin on his new marriage.
