"what?"

Sun Jiao, who heard the words, immediately stood up and looked at Zhang Zuo with incredulous eyes.

Zhang Zuo was a little puzzled. He didn't know why Sun Jiao had such a big reaction. He also got up, looked back with a confused face, and said, "Why is Old Sun so surprised?"

Sun Jiao thought to herself, the Empress Dowager wanted me to marry my daughter to the emperor, so she kept on talking about it, why did she suddenly change her nature and ask me to marry my daughter to Zhu Hao?

The point is, what Yang Tinghe meant was to let me marry my daughter to Zhu Hao.

How can the minds of Empress Dowager Jiang and Yang Tinghe overlap so much?

Sun Jiao smiled bitterly: "Eunuch Zhang, since you all know the purpose of Mr. Yang Ge's visit to my house earlier, why did the Queen Mother make such an order?"

Only then did Zhang Zuo know that Sun Jiao had such an expression because the incident was too unimaginable.

"Mr. Sun misunderstood. In fact, the Empress Dowager does not want to have a bad relationship with Mr. Yang Ge. Besides, the Empress Dowager asked the ceremonial officer and learned that the Holy Majesty was married and could not marry the important ministers of the court. After all, Your Majesty is no longer a member of Prince Xing's family. Lord, everything must be done according to the rules."

Zhang Zuo said the words he had thought up a long time ago face to face.

Sun Jiao's expression was weird, obviously he didn't believe Zhang Zuo's nonsense.

Zhang Zuo said: "Besides, Zhu Hao is the number one scholar from my local Anlu. He can be regarded as his own family. Why should he be so out of touch? At the beginning, Mr. Zhu's family was also witnessed by my Xing Wangfu. Step by step, he became the number one scholar today."

Sun Jiao narrowed his eyes.

I wonder what kind of lake paint you Zhang Zuo pretended to be?
Wasn't the relationship between Zhu Hao and Prince Xing's mansion clearly stated when the new emperor hosted a banquet to persuade me to return to the court?

It is precisely because of Zhu Hao's special status in the cracks that both sides regard him as their own, but Zhu Hao's own tendency is not clear, and I will not marry my daughter to him.

Sun Jiaodao: "But this old man has also heard some bad rumors. He learned that Jin Yiwei's Zhu family has always been at odds with Xing Wang's mansion."

"Hehe, it's all old stuff, why bother to mention it again? The Empress Dowager cherishes the friendship with Sun Lao. Even if the two families cannot get married, she still wants Ling Qianjin to marry a good family. If there are some things that cannot be publicized, maybe The Queen Mother will marry you two."

Zhang Zuo explained patiently so that Sun Jiao's doubts would be allayed.

Sun Jiao asked directly: "The Queen Mother, do you want to use this method to promote the marriage between the old man and the Zhu family, so that our two families can work for the court with peace of mind?"

Zhang Zuo smiled heartily, and said, "That's exactly what he meant, it's still Laoming Sun's reason."

Sun Jiao rolled his eyes.

Good guy, no matter whether you want me to marry the emperor or Zhu Hao, you are using my daughter as a tool!

Have you ever considered how I feel?
This old bone of mine loves this little daughter the most, so why are you torturing her so hard?
Zhang Zuo said seriously: "Then Mr. Sun agrees or refuses?"

Sun Jiaodao: "Is there any other choice for this old man?"

Unhappy in my heart, but I thought of what Zhu Hao was worried about before, that is... If my daughter doesn't marry Zhu Hao, who can she marry?

The queen mother is tantamount to giving marriage in disguise.

...

If he did not agree to the marriage request of Prince Xing's Mansion first, and then refused to grant the marriage, and rejected the Queen Mother twice, then maybe his daughter would really want to be a sister-in-law all her life and stay in her boudoir.

Zhang Zuo sighed: "They are all in the court, and we can see them anytime... Besides, Mr. Zhu is extremely capable, and we will be able to live in harmony with Mr. Sun in the future."

"Mr. Zhu?"

Sun Jiao was very uncomfortable with this title.

You are an old housekeeper of the palace, Xingwang's palace is entrusted with the eunuch Fengzheng, and the current eunuch is in charge of the ceremony, do you treat Zhu Hao so respectfully?
Zhang Zuo said: "After getting along with Mr. Zhu a lot, Mr. Sun will naturally understand why everyone likes him. His ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and his thoughts... are also different from ordinary people. He seems to never care about fame and fortune... The more you know him, the more you will know.

"By the way, Mr. Sun, you must say that you agree with Mr. Yang Ge's request for this matter, but you must not leak out the fact that our family came to spread the word."

After hearing Zhang Zuo's evaluation of Zhu Hao's long speech, Sun Jiao had one thought in his mind.

Are you playing tricks on the lake?
Don't care about fame and fortune?
Not comparable to ordinary people?

When that kid came to threaten me to go back to court, he had a stern voice and a complete set of skills. Just like this little fox, he tricked you all by playing tricks?
"The old man understands."

Sun Jiao sighed.

Now he felt that everything was settled and he couldn't struggle, but he still didn't understand: "Dare to ask, that Mr. Zhu has no opinion on this matter?"

"Ha ha."

Zhang Zuo laughed again, "To be honest, Mr. Zhu seems not very willing to get married, but he told our family alone that if he disagrees, I'm afraid it will ruin the lifelong happiness of a young lady .”

"puff……"

Sun Jiao almost vomited blood when he heard this.

Zhang Zuo said: "Marriage is a big issue. Of course, Mr. Zhu can't decide by himself. The queen mother will send someone to find Mr. Zhu's mother. Maybe it will be our family... Mr. Sun just wait for the good news. Let me say congratulations here first!"

Sun Jiao didn't feel at all that a happy event was imminent, but felt a sense of helplessness being forced to go to the Liangshan Mountains.

A good family, a good daughter, just because I and the new emperor are from the same town and have a little relationship, so I will develop to this point?
Even such things as marriage must be forced on the body?

……

……

After seeing Sun Jiao, Zhang Zuo hurried to review the memorials with Zhu Hao.

By the way, I told Zhu Hao the details of meeting Sun Jiao.

Zhu Hao frowned: "I said Eunuch Zhang, when did I say that if I don't marry Ms. Sun, I will delay her youth?"

"Didn't you say that? Haha, maybe our family remembered it wrong."

Zhang Zuo made a haha, intending to get away with it.

Of course Zhu Hao saw it, and it was actually Mrs. Jiang's plan to retreat and seek the next best thing.

Maybe Empress Dowager Jiang regained her senses after entering the palace. If Sun Jiao was forced to hand over her daughter for election, it would not only violate the precepts of the emperor's ancestors, but also give excuses to civil officials, and deepen the conflict between the emperor and ministers. If Sun Jiao is forced to submit, he will definitely not return.

No matter how you look at it, it would be more practical to marry Sun Jiao's daughter to Zhu Hao and let the Sun and Zhu families work for the emperor together.

...

Since Empress Dowager Jiang changed her strategy, she would naturally not proceed step by step to facilitate this matter, and of course she would use some unconventional means.

And Zhang Zuo, as the sharp blade of Empress Dowager Jiang, was sent out to stab Sun Jiao and Zhu Hao desperately.

Making up nonsense is to facilitate the marriage, Zhang Zuo is now shouldering a major mission, eager to make meritorious service, he must make this matter a reality.

Zhang Zuo said: "The Empress Dowager attaches great importance to the marriage of your two families, and even Mr. Yang Ge has come forward, so this matter... Hey, congratulations to Mr. Zhu, you have been admitted to the imperial examination after your graduation?"

Zhu Hao said helplessly: "Eunuch Zhang, I haven't even met Ms. Sun in person. I don't know her character or appearance. Is it too... child's play to just rashly marry her?"

"Sword Comes"

"Oh, don't you just turn a blind eye to important marriage matters these years? When you have weddings in your bridal chamber, you will have a lot of time to see her appearance...Mr. Zhu also understands our family's hardships. Do you always mention the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law in front of your father-in-law? Let's calm down, as long as you agree, our family will go to the Lingtang to mention this matter."

Zhang Zuo was very enthusiastic.

Seeing that Zhu Hao didn't seem to be very happy, Zhang Zuo continued: "You have to understand, if Miss Sun doesn't marry you, there will really be no one to marry... The Empress Dowager will also be unhappy, We are courtiers, why bother to cause trouble?"

Zhu Hao thought for a while, and it seemed to be the case.

Since the young lady of the Sun family was favored by Zhu Youzhu, and Sun Jiao protected her so well, she must have been a lady of every family.

It seems that if I earn a daughter of the Shangshu family for nothing, if I still have to refuse, it will be hypocritical in the eyes of outsiders.

But in fact, Zhu Hao really didn't want to be dominated by marriage affairs.

Right now it seems that we can only take one step at a time.

……

……

Zhu Hao went to the Imperial Academy the next day.

Yang Shen came to look for him, and after the two left the editing room, Yang Shen said: "Zhu Hao, my father went to Sun Butang's residence to propose marriage for you yesterday."

"Um!?"

Zhu Hao pretended to be shocked and inexplicable.

Yang Tinghe's contribution is indeed extraordinary.

If Yang Shen or other ministers were to talk about it, it is estimated that Sun Jiao would directly drive people out of the house.

Yang Tinghe also knew that to prevent Sun Jiao from marrying the royal family, only he could do it himself. It was not because of Zhu Hao's face that he acted as the chief assistant of the cabinet, but because of the struggle with the emperor, forcing him to Had to.

In this matter, Zhu Hao is not the protagonist, but just a chess piece randomly manipulated by Yang Tinghe.

It's just that Yang Tinghe didn't expect that the Xinhuang faction also planned to promote the marriage between Zhu Hao and Miss Sun's family.

Yang Shendao: "My father mentioned that question you wrote, Mr. Sun is very satisfied with your talent and learning, but... I'm afraid you have to go to this matter yourself."

Zhu Hao thought to himself, you think I don't know that Yang Tinghe went to talk about matchmaking, but it didn't work out?
"But... I went, and I don't know what to say."

Zhu Hao is very frank.

According to Zhu Hao's estimate, Sun Jiao must have no interest in any kind of marriage. The reason why he agreed to Zhang Zuo was because his daughter had no one else to marry. Thinking about it, Zhu Hao was not bad. Since it was all a political marriage, why did he delay it? At the price of her daughter's lifelong happiness?

Reluctantly agree.

Yang Shendao: "Later today, you will go with me, and you will impress Elder Sun with your sincerity. This matter has a lot to do with the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. Everything depends on your performance on the spot."

Zhu Hao asked puzzledly: "That is to say... rely on me to fight for it?"

"Exactly."

Yang Shen nodded his head as a matter of course, "If Sun Butang's daughter enters the palace, it will be like breaking my rules after the election of the Ming Dynasty. You have not made any contribution in the Hanyuan so far. If this can be done, I can guarantee that your career will go further in the future. , my father will also support you a lot."

Zhu Hao thought to himself, what is a bad check, this is it.

When and who do I marry will become a major event of meritorious service to the court?

My head is too small, and I really can't fit this tall hat.
