Jinyi champion

Chapter 787 This target is very stable

Even Yang Tinghe could see that the Sun Exchange represented a group of conservative civil servants and was forming a third-party force in the imperial court.

In the cabinet, Liu Chun was inclined towards Sun Jiao, and even Fei Hong was a member of this faction. There were many people in the court who were unwilling to join Yang Tinghe, or who in Yang Tinghe's view were a bit obedient, and gradually moved closer to Sun Jiao's side.

It can be said.

If Yang Tinghe falls, Jiang Mian, Mao Ji, Qiao Yu, Lin Jun and others will leave the court one after another in the next year or two because of their relationship with Yang Tinghe.

At that time, the people who really dominate the court will become these old-fashioned ministers.

The emperor seemed to have no intention of interfering with the rise of Sun Jiao and others. He probably wanted to use Sun Jiao and Liu Chun to represent civil servants and replace the influence of Yang Tinghe's faction in the court.

Yang Tinghe's fear of Sun Jiao deepened in his heart.

But Sun Jiao himself, who is in the whirlpool, still seems to be ignorant.

He did a series of things before, which seemed to be resisting the emperor's self-assertion, but Yang Tinghe regarded it as "authority", Sun Jiao was detained for no reason, and he wanted to leave the court all the time The family took care of themselves, and ended up being regarded as the leader of the new faction?

However, when Liu Chun visited him that day, he raised this question face to face.

When Zhu Hao saw Sun Jiao, Sun Jiao was sitting there frowning and thinking hard, as if he was sullen.

With a heavy breath, Sun Jiao said, "Didn't you do it on purpose? Even if you didn't mean it, you inadvertently promoted the confrontation between the old man and Yang Jiefu. You are duty bound."

"You asked the old man to resign?"

Zhu Hao said: "Old Sun, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to say so?"

He thought that doing so would make Wen Chen feel that he was inclined to Yang Tinghe, but he didn't expect that because of his radicalness, Yang Tinghe felt that he wanted to stand on his own.

As a result, Sun Jiao had no choice but to move closer to the emperor.

Zhu Hao said: "Everything depends on what Elder Sun wants."

Zhu Hao laughed and said, "Mr. Sun is too worried... No one would think so. Mr. Sun is the Secretary of the Household Department. Isn't it natural for him to make decisions on the allocation of money and food?"

"Ha ha."

After all, he is not a newcomer in the officialdom. After careful consideration, he can probably understand that now Yang Tinghe has already regarded his grandson as a political enemy.

Lost your temper?

……

Zhu Hao said again: "The current situation is that even if Yang Ge wants to retire, he still wants to retire in a more honorable way, and after he retires, he wants to arrange everything from the cabinet to the six ministries to the yamen below. His people formed a force that could continue to fight against the new emperor.

Liu Chun shook his head helplessly: "It's not a general opinion, it's a prejudice. When I had a private conversation with Jiang Jingzhi, he vaguely revealed that he told me not to get too close to brother Zhitong. Listen to what he said, you Sun Zhitong now wants to find another way in the court and take a path that is not tolerated by his officials. It probably means...you have been regarded by him as an outsider or even an opponent."

"But because there is Mr. Sun in the household department now, and Mr. Sun has obtained His Majesty's acquiescence in his recent work, which makes him feel that Mr. Sun is a big problem that he must solve before he retires. This is the problem of everything. The root cause...is not who took advantage of Elder Sun."

Some people wanted to make friends with Sun, but they were told that Sun Lao Shangshu came to talk to his son-in-law about family affairs.

Sun Jiao was all angry at his son-in-law before, but after hearing Zhu Hao's suggestion to make it clear to Yang Tinghe face to face, his anger subsided a little.

But after thinking about it carefully, Sun Jiao suddenly understood why the emperor let him do things in his own way recently.

Sun Jiao pointed to the chair beside him.

Sun Jiao frowned.

It's not a cabinet minister. In the future, Fei Hong or Liu Chun will be qualified to preside over the overall situation, but your grandson Jiao will not.

Zhu Hao meant that your grandson Jiao took himself too seriously.

Sun Jiao shook his head and smiled wryly.

Zhu Hao said: "Old Sun, calm down, the whole matter is not what you think. It is really hard for outsiders to guess about Elder Yang Ge's attitude. If there is any misunderstanding between Elder Sun and Elder Yang Ge, why don't you make it clear in person? ?”

Sun Jiao frowned: "What do you mean?"

Now it's because I helped you that the emperor didn't let the emperor take action against you. Where would Yang Tinghe be so kind to me?
If you want to stand out, of course you must be held down first!
Zhu Hao said: "Old Sun, it's better to think about how to ease the conflict first."

But now Yang Tinghe is always on guard against him and regards him as the most direct threat.

Obviously, the Ministry of Household Affairs he represented was posing a problem to the emperor, but the emperor was not in a hurry at all and allowed him to do so. In fact, he was being used as a gun by the emperor invisibly.

Shi Ping, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, personally arranged for Sun Jiao to find a secluded study room for him to meet with Zhu Hao.

"Ha ha……"

But now at this juncture...

Isn't it because you have to find a sense of presence?

Zhu Hao thought to himself, so what if I did it on purpose?

It is also possible that old man Sun found out that he was being used by the emperor as a spearman, or that he made his own head and went forward, which was tantamount to throwing himself into a trap, so... after he realized it, old man Sun began to lose his temper.

Originally, you kept a low profile and continued to be a carefree scumbag like before. No one else had a chance to take advantage of you, but in the end you insisted on being strong.

Zhu Hao sighed: "This junior didn't expect that allowing Elder Sun to stay in the court would bring so much trouble to Elder Sun. If Elder Sun really feels that he is beyond his power, why not..."

Sun Jiao sneered endlessly: "Is it wrong? Then you go and sue the old man, saying that the old man has spoken rudely to His Majesty!"

Sun Jiaodao: "Ren Zhong came to see me and said that Yang Jiefu was more wary of me recently, but what did you do?"

"Jingdao, this is why you let the old man stay in the court for half a year? You said at the time that you need to ensure that the court will not be chaotic after Yang Jiefu leaves, and you need the old man to sit in charge to stabilize the overall situation, but you didn't say that before Yang Jiefu retired, Just push this old man out as a target?"

Sun Jiao shook his head and smiled wryly: "What this old man has done recently is just to calculate the money and food in the treasury of the Ministry of Households, so why did he find another way? I have done so many things, is there something wrong?"

"But the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs is still not the chief assistant of the cabinet. The misunderstanding of Mr. Yang Ge is that he misunderstood Mr. Sun's thoughts for the country and the people, so Mr. Sun should not worry too much."

Hands challenge the brain, how can they win?

Sun Jiao lost control of his emotions.

"Oh? Make it clear in person? Can you still make it clear?"

The Hanlin Academy suddenly came to the Minister of the Household Department, and the matter is still quite big.

He couldn't help thinking, this couldn't be a trap set by that kid Zhu Hao, right?
……

Sun Jiao hesitated for a moment.

Even if your grandson skipped the household department and became the official secretary, so what?

My own life experience in the officialdom is not as thorough as my son-in-law?

Old man Sun, you are really unreasonable!

Liu Chun's words startled Sun Jiao.

It seems that I really worry a little too much.

If it is said that he was a fence-sitter in the past, Yang Tinghe mostly ignored him and let him do some things, because at that time everyone thought that he would retire soon...

After Sun Jiao met Liu Chun, he understood his situation in the court, and felt a little annoyed, so he ignored Zhu Hao's previous reminder and went directly to the Imperial Academy to talk to Zhu Hao.

The whole thing is that the six ministries belong to the executive level, which is equivalent to a person's limbs; while the chief minister of the cabinet is the decision-making center, which is equivalent to a person's brain.

If there is a misunderstanding, then find a way to explain it, instead of sitting idly by and letting the misunderstanding deepen.

You said that when the new emperor and Yang Tinghe's faction are in full swing, you, a self-proclaimed neutral person, rushed forward on your own initiative. If the two sides don't look for you as a target, who will they look for?

"Ugh!"

Zhu Hao shook his head incessantly: "Mr. Sun, you can't just think that the younger generation has done something behind your back whenever something goes wrong, right? This...how can it have anything to do with me?"

Sun Jiao sneered with a bit of self-deprecation, and stared at Zhu Hao, "I didn't understand before, why His Majesty directly delegated power to the Ministry of Households for the expenditure of money and food in the southeast and northwest. What His Majesty thought was actually approved. Does this make people feel that the old man wants to stand on his own, against Yang Jiefu, and use the old man as a cover?"

Zhu Hao said he could go, but he couldn't let go.

How can you be so unjust?

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the only one who had the power of prime minister was the chief minister of the cabinet. Even the six ministers and the Zuodu censor could not form restrictions on the chief minister of the cabinet.

Liu Chun sighed, "Because I'm close to my brother-in-law, it's hard for me to take a position in the cabinet now. It's like I want to replace Yang Zhongtang."

Sun Jiao was very angry.

Zhu Haodao: "Old Sun, let's put it this way, now Mr. Yang Ge knows that his time in the court is short, and he is already planning for things after leaving the court... When Old Sun rises strongly now, he will naturally think that However, Mr. Sun always wanted to take advantage of him when he was in danger to make trouble, and when he stepped back, he would formally replace him in the court.

Sun Jiao quickly asked: "You mean, Yang Jiefu has opinions on the old man?"

After Sun Jiao listened to Zhu Hao's words, most of his anger naturally disappeared.

Now that the court is so lively, he is finding the joy of being an official. He has even become the leader of a faction himself, and gradually has the ease of giving orders by those in power. So he sent me away so easily?

During the first year when he returned to the court as an official, he never wanted to go back to Anlu to live a quiet life.

In addition to Yang Ting and Xiaodujichang, it can also be explained that his grandson is a little nervous, and the faction fight that obviously won't happen, just because Liu Chun said a few words in front of him, he was so worried, and then ran to the Imperial Academy to complain to his son-in-law ?

You are just a household secretary.

Sun Jiaodao: "Respectfully, the old man underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be impeccable in everything you do. Under your guidance, Your Majesty is not at all like a new emperor who has just ascended the throne, but more like sitting on a dragon chair for decades. The emperor with a deep palace. This is all thanks to you."

"Old Sun, what is this for?"

"...Brother Zhitong didn't realize how perfunctory the cabinet has been with the affairs of the household department recently? Just as the household department seems to be indifferent to the affairs of the Northwest?"

Think about it now.

Zhu Hao asked.

The reason is that he also felt that this was caused by a misunderstanding with Yang Tinghe, not that there was no room for change.

Zhu Hao sat down.

It's too embarrassing!

"The old man still wants to clear up the grievances with Yang Jiefu, but it's not at the point where the old man has to leave, let's discuss it later."

Sun Jiao stopped pretending in front of Zhu Hao.

The old man just won't leave, what can he do to me?
