Chapter 776 Disagreement
Sun Jiao couldn't understand Zhu Hao and Sun Lan's way of getting along as a young couple.

Zhu Hao doesn't care about his family when he is away, so does his daughter?

Do things outside?

Sun Lan still feels at ease, leaving the family aside?
It doesn't sound like a normal couple's life, but rather like two strangers living together, completely out of step.

"you……"

Sun Jiao wanted to ask in detail, but felt that if Zhu Hao, the master, was not at home, what was the point of his visit?
Talk to your daughter about private affairs at night?
In this day and age, a married daughter is water that is thrown out, and it is difficult to interfere with the affairs of the husband's family. As a father, he still has to take care of himself.

"That's it. I'll go back first for my father."

Sun Jiao didn't intend to enter the main room, but was walking out when he suddenly thought of something, stopped and turned around, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, "Jingdao's mother has been ill recently, you stayed there to take care of her, right?"

Originally, Sun Jiao couldn't figure out what this young couple was doing, but suddenly he found a reason for himself.

Sun Lan was dumbfounded by the question.

Just at this time, the servant girl Chun Yu came over to report: "Master, Madam, Master is back."

Sun Jiao didn't bother to ask more questions, since Zhu Hao came back, he should talk about things, and didn't want to ask about the lifestyle of Zhu Hao and his wife.

……

……

study.

It was supposed to be a study and office place, but Zhu Hao's arrangement here was extremely simple.

After all, Zhu Hao didn't live here for a few days, and the furnishings inside were so simple, many things were not even prepared, and the four treasures of the study hadn't been touched for a long time.

"……Are you busy recently?"

Sun Jiao looked around and asked curiously.

Zhu Haodao: "Recently, I have to deal with editing and writing books, and there are a lot of things at home. I never thought that Elder Sun would come to visit suddenly. Please forgive me for not greeting well."

Sun Jiao nodded, and asked again: "Then what happened to you and... your wife? After dark, you are not at home?"

Zhu Hao said: "I found her an errand, and she is currently there with peace of mind..."

"..."

Sun Jiao was speechless for a moment.

Zhu Hao explained: "Teaching women's school and doing some knitting women's affairs by the way, she handles it very well. In the past, she never suffered hardships when she was on the job, and there are people who can take care of her over there, so she usually eats and lives there. Sun The old man should know that I am usually very busy, and sometimes I can't take care of things at home."

Sun Jiao's expression was serious: "Respectfully, the old man is considered an outsider and shouldn't be involved in the affairs of your young couple, but your father is not here, your mother must have worked hard to raise you, and now she is sick and can't take care of your family affairs. There must be someone to mention one or two points... You can't do this!"

In this era, only the man's parents, that is to say, the husband's family, are the only ones who persuade them to live together.

As her natal family, Sun Jiao has little say in these matters.

Sun Jiao talked for a long time, going round and round just to clarify a truth, your father is gone, I will educate you as your father-in-law.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Why is Mrs. Sun so entangled? We're all fine, and even if I want to take care of my family, it's hard to take care of me usually."

"then you……"

Sun Jiao wanted to continue preaching, but suddenly his mouth became clumsy.

No one else knew what Zhu Hao was doing, but his grandson knew it very well.

Now Zhu Hao is secretly reviewing the memorials for the emperor. So many things assigned by the emperor have to be completed. This is based on the fact that Zhu Hao is usually busy with official business in the Imperial Academy during the day. Work instead of part-time job, can you not work hard?
Just like that, it's a bit too much to ask Zhu Hao to be a good man who takes care of his family.

"Mr. Sun, if you have something to say, just tell me. If there are some things that are difficult to explain, I can tell you slowly later..."

Zhu Hao said.

Sun Jiao sighed.

Originally full of anger, he really couldn't understand the life style of his son-in-law and daughter, so he struggled for a long time on the minutiae.

Sun Jiaodao: "I don't want to go into too much detail. I just want to ask you. According to rumors, His Majesty has been diligent in government affairs recently and has personally reviewed almost every memorial. You did it, right?"

Zhu Hao shrugged: "Your Majesty is diligent in administration, so it is natural that His Majesty handles it."

"In front of the old man, what do you have to hide?"

Sun Jiao looked dissatisfied.

"I'm just helping His Majesty with advice on certain matters. It's really not all my doing...Since last year, I've tried my best not to touch the affairs of memorials, and Elder Sun should know this." Zhu Hao said.

Sun Jiao nodded, accepting the statement of son-in-law.

"Whether it's you or not, at least His Majesty's recent tightening of Zhu Zhu's authority should be your suggestion, right? What's the purpose?" Sun Jiao asked bluntly.

Zhu Haodao: "Isn't reviewing the memorials originally what His Majesty should do? Since the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there are diligent emperors, who didn't personally approve it? What's the purpose?"

Sun Jiao said dissatisfiedly: "Don't play around with me, tell the truth..."

Zhu Hao shook his head: "There is really nothing to hide. In fact, it is to let the world know that His Majesty cannot handle government affairs without the cabinet, and the court cannot function properly without the cabinet... In the final analysis, it is to prepare for His Majesty's personal governance. Is it reasonable?"

"Pro-government? Still need to prepare?"

Sun Jiao wanted to say that now the emperor does everything by himself. Although Yang Jiefu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has great power, it seems that he has not said that the emperor cannot manage the government. Reference.

Otherwise, the current situation would not have occurred. All the yamen of the imperial court took the imperial order first.

Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Sun, I don't know what the Ministry of Households looks like now. As far as I know, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, etc., must consult Yang Ge for instructions when doing anything, especially before doing big things. Old man, even if His Majesty's will is to be conveyed, it needs to be discussed by the cabinet before it can be implemented, right?"

Sun Jiao frowned: "Where did you hear about this?"

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "Isn't that the case in the Ministry of Households?"

Sun Jiao sighed.

Yang Tinghe's hand stretched out very long, which is why Sun Jiao has always refused to attach himself to Yang Tinghe. In Sun Jiao's view, what you Yang Tinghe did is no different from controlling the government?
Some yamen only recognize your notes from Yang Tinghe and the cabinet, but not Zhu Pi and Yuzhi. Isn't this a mess?

Sun Jiao closed his eyes and said helplessly, "So you did all this to make Yang Jiefu leave the court early, right?"

Zhu Hao thought for a while, and said, "That's right."

"Ugh!"

Sun Jiao sighed again, "But have you ever thought that if Yang Jiefu really stepped back, His Majesty would definitely preside over the government affairs? Even if you take a step back and say that His Majesty is in charge of the government affairs and can do everything arbitrarily, then would you not Will you become the next Yang Jiefu? Your Majesty can trust and tolerate you for a while, but since ancient times, no matter how harmonious the monarch and his subjects are, there will be times when they disagree. not."

Sun Jiao almost reminded Zhu Hao, you have to be on guard.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "What Mr. Sun said, I have thought about it a long time ago. In fact, I don't have so many troubles, because my mind is different from that of Mr. Yang Ge. What I think is to let Da Ming walk on a road of prosperity and strength, rather than simply Controlling the government... Whoever wants to control can control it."

"you……"

Sun Jiao felt powerless again with Zhu Hao's almost rascally words.

Is this kid an optimist by nature, or is he really stupid and naive?
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Sun, you asked me to pay attention to the few people involved in the deficit case in the south. I have read them all. Now it seems that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has initially drafted the charges. One will be executed, two will be dismissed, and the other two will be arrested. Pay money to avoid exile. The point is that the surname is Lu. I have made some arrangements. After a year of execution, he can be transferred to Liubian, exiled to Gansu, and his family can be preserved..."

Zhu Hao specially took out a list and handed it to Sun Jiao.

Sun Jiao didn't answer, and asked with a frown, "Can you intervene in the case of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

Zhu Hao smiled.

It seems to be saying, what I am doing now is the power of the emperor, why can't I ask?In other words, is there any matter in the court that is not going through my hands now?

Sun Jiaodao: "No matter what the Ministry of Punishment decides, just do what you want. I just don't want anyone to meddle in the internal affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs. If you pardon some sinners who broke the law because of doing things for me, I will not agree."

Zhu Hao shook his head with a smile: "I've read the case, just like what Elder Sun said, there were people who took advantage of the problem, and the targets were Nanhu and Beihu. In order to protect their family members and relatives and friends, people have to admit their crimes. But in fact, what they have done is not enough to convict them of serious crimes. The court did not even investigate those who are really guilty... Isn’t this the way of the world?”

Sun Jiao's expression was serious.

I mentioned it to Zhu Hao before, let Zhu Hao pay attention to some subordinates in the south of the Yangtze River who are related to his grandson.

Now that Zhu Hao really helped him, it meant that he still owed Zhu Hao a big favor.

But what Zhu Hao did was to directly sentence those who should be sentenced to death to exile, turning the big crime into a small crime. Even if it was true as Zhu Hao said, these few people were used as scapegoats, but in the end they still violated the law. law.

"Does Mr. Sun think that I am breaking the law? Right now, it is just using His Majesty's idea of ​​governing the country with benevolence so that criminals can be preserved. This principle has been followed since the new emperor ascended the throne, and it is also for recuperation. Lin Butang and the rest of the Ministry of Punishment didn't raise any opinions. Instead, it's inappropriate for Mr. Sun?" Zhu Hao asked back.

You brought up the situation, and now I have done something, but you think I did something wrong?
Sun Jiao sighed: "Jingdao, this old man would never have imagined that you would be so deeply involved in the imperial court, and your courage in doing things is far beyond that of ordinary young people. I shouldn't have said it, but I still feel that...you do this. There will be troubles."

Zhu Hao laughed and said, "Isn't it good for the soldiers to block the water and cover it with earth? What can you do without any future troubles?"

"it is good!"

Sun Jiaodao, "Since you said that, it means that you have already planned it, so I don't need to say more. I won't talk to you about the household department's money and food. It's just that the Southeast Coast Defense has suddenly increased its budget. I don't care about that." Agree, I will represent the Ministry of Household Affairs and discuss it with His Majesty later, so get ready!"
