Chapter 790 Past Tense and Future Tense

The strong rise of Sun Jiao in the DPRK is a good thing for emerging forces.

Even Su Xigui took advantage of the situation and went to Sun Jiao's side, preparing to give Sun Jiao a generous gift.

Su Xigui thought so.

Now that you, Sun Jiao, are in power, you must be the best candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the future. Even if you are not the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you are destined to be the Minister of the Ministry of War or the Minister of Rites.

When you move away from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, won't you just give my brother-in-law an advantage?
Although Sun Jiao and Huang Zan are currently the Minister of the North Household Department and the Minister of the South Household Department, they should be on the same level, but in the eyes of Su Xigui and everyone in the world, Huang Zan is slightly inferior.

Sun Jiao has no enthusiasm for receiving gifts.

My grandson is short of this little property?

Or is it that my purpose of being an official is to receive gifts?
Do you understand what ambition is?

If Huang Gongxian became an official just to receive gifts, it would be too tasteless.

Su Xigui offered tea to Zhu Hao.

"This... Could it be that Mao Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites asked to return home because of his illness?" Su Xigui asked.

Huang Zan has a brother-in-law like Su Xigui who can make money, and he doesn't lack those three melons and dates.

"ok, I understand."

Previously, it was just drawing big cakes.

Zhu Hao said sternly: "Let's put it this way, before Elder Yang Ge retired, Sun Butang might retire early, or go a step further, the Shangshu of the Beihubu or the Shangshu of the Beibingbu will definitely leave a place for Huanggong."

Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head.

It is obviously impossible for Huang Zan to seek refuge with Yang Tinghe, but because his promotion to Nanjing Household Department Minister is related to Yang Tinghe, others will classify him as Yang Dang.

Or buy a book from the Ministry of Rites?

Zhu Hao is equivalent to selling an official vacancy of the Minister of the Ministry of War or the Minister of the Ministry of Households, with a profit of 20 taels.

This is also because different people serve as officials with different purposes. Huang Zan may be working hard for his posthumous fame.

Zhu Haodao: "Let's put it this way, if Huang Gong becomes the Sixth Ministry of the North, or it is the end of his official career, his term of office may not exceed two years. After all, Huang Gong came to power in the eventful autumn when the old and the new are changing. Even if His Majesty and I Even with more maintenance, it will be difficult to resist the torrent of the court."

For example, Sun Jiao, Sun Jiao’s family assets may not even reach 1000 taels. The mansion in the capital was arranged by Zhu Si, and he couldn’t even afford a house in the capital, and the residence of an official in the capital Ordinary three-entry courtyard house, even if the ground is not good, at least 1000 taels of silver.

Recently, Zhu Hao "opened his mouth like a lion". Su Xigui took what Su Xigui gave him. Su Xigui felt that it should be an opportunity, so he specially asked Zhu Hao to meet him. This time the banquet was held in a different place, so he called Zhu Hao directly to the Jiaofang Division, as if it was necessary to talk about things now It's easy to talk about a little romantic stuff to add to the fun.

Su Xigui made it clear at the beginning of his visit.

I, Su, are good at spending money to build relationships, for myself, not for the kind of people who like to collect money but wander around for other people's affairs.

Zhu Hao couldn't stop laughing.

"...I sent souvenirs to Sun Shangshu's house earlier, but they didn't accept them there, so I had to ask the little master to help with the operation. In addition, I would like to ask, how will the court be arranged in the future?"

Su Dongzhu, you really know how to play tricks, but Huang Zan has you, a brother-in-law who is good at planning, it's really not easy. It's rare that you, Su Xigui, are so considerate of your brother-in-law. Anyway, no matter what, you want to find Huang Zan a secretary from the Sixth Ministry of the North. Bar?
"Why are you in a hurry? Do you think there are still a few days left in the reign of Mr. Yang Ge? Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhu Hao laughed.

Huang Zan came to power because he got close to Zhu Houzhao and worked for Zhu Houzhao.

on the wine table.

Zhu Hao nodded: "The current progress of the court discussion is to let the Minister of the Southern Officials Department Luo Qinshun go to the capital to replace Mao Shangshu, and the seat of the Minister of the Southern Officials Department will be vacant, or the Minister of the Southern Household Department will fill it."

Su Xigui was a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "Please tell me."

This time it was a direct showdown.

Obviously, where Mr. Su Xigui is, it is impossible to hide things there. Whenever there is any trouble in the officialdom, Su Xigui is the first to know.

"Oh, I think so too. That Luo Shangshu has always been famous in Nanjing, and he is aloof and arrogant. He has a similar temperament to Mr. Yang Ge, or a good candidate to preside over the Ministry of Rites. But if someone in the court is transferred to Nanjing, Or let someone else be the Minister of Rites..."

Or how can you say that Su Xigui is generous in his actions?

Let’s not talk about whether this official position is for sale, let’s say that the Ministry of Rites is now controlled by Yang Tinghe. Even if Mao Cheng steps down, will Yang Tinghe allow someone who is not from his faction to take charge of the Ministry of Rites?
Luo Qinshun came up because he is a master of Confucianism, and he has been playing with Wang Shouren's Xinxue, and they were evenly matched for a time.

Su Xigui sighed: "Don't be in a hurry, even if Mr. Yang Ge really returns to his hometown in the future and leaves a vacancy in the court, it may not necessarily belong to Huang Gong. Huang Gong has suffered too much criticism before, and I heard that now There are also people who criticize him secretly...the loyal and treacherous people in the court regard Huang Gong as an enemy, it is much better to go up earlier than to stay where you are and wait."

Su Xigui's expression became hesitant.

Up to now, the reason why Huang Zan has not stepped down from his position is more because Yang Tinghe intervened to mediate Huang Zan's position as Minister of the Nanjing Household Department. At that time, Yang Tinghe also intended to transfer a capable person to Nanjing to appreciate Huang Zan's talent I don't appreciate Huang Zan's character.

In addition, Huang Zan has friendship with Wang Qiong, Wang Xian, Lu Wan and others, and has contacts with traitors such as Qian Ning, Jiang Bin, San Zhang, etc., which makes Huang Zan a very special existence in the court.

Sun Jiao, an old slicker who almost never asked about power struggles in the past, is the most volatile in the ruling and opposition parties, and now he has been pushed to the fore. Needless to say, Zhu Hao is behind the scenes.

Perhaps both Huang Zan and Su Xigui knew that if Huang Zan could not ascend to the throne sooner, after the new emperor had fully grasped the government, perhaps Huang Zan would be liquidated because he was recommended by Yang Tinghe. Even if Zhu Hao would come forward, there would still be many People regard Huang Zan as Yang Tinghe's accomplice.

"Ha ha."

Spend money to buy an official?

"what?"

Previously when Su Xigui came to the capital, he only mentioned Huang Zan when he gave gifts, and he gave away 8 or 20 taels of silver without even a political purpose. Now that Zhu Hao really wanted to help Huang Zan fill the vacancy of the Northern Six Departments of Shangshu, it seemed that he would give [-] taels of silver. Not too much.

Su Xigui was originally worried that Huang Zan would be in trouble.

"It seems that you don't want to?" Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Obviously, the Minister of the Southern Official Department was not Huang Zan's target. In terms of his status in the court, the Minister of the Southern Official Department was definitely higher than the Minister of the Southern Household Department.

Su Xigui smiled and nodded, but his expression was quite disapproving.

Huang Zan was able to stay in the Ministry of household affairs in Nanjing.

"Ah? This..."

Such a person is well-known in the court and the literary world, and he adheres to some principles of the Great Rites, so Yang Tinghe will arrange to replace Mao Cheng.

Moreover, Huang Zan has never been the kind of person who doesn't even care about the court's laws for the sake of profit. It's okay to entrust the procurement of the household department to Su Xigui. Huang Zan absolutely can't do it.

Su Xigui was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "If that's the case, the 20 taels of silver will definitely be sent to the young master."

But it's actually quite a lot.

This is equivalent to Su Xigui taking out about [-] residences in the capital at a time, and exchanging them for the post of Minister of Huang Zanbei Six Departments.

Tell Su Xigui clearly, don't think about it.

But in terms of real power, and the benefits that can be sought for him, Su Xigui, the Minister of the Southern Officials is just a fart, and Su Xigui himself has no intention of becoming an official. Let his brother-in-law be in charge of the Southern Officials, what substantive benefits can he bring? benefit?Expect those who seek official positions to come to him to give gifts in the future?

Su Xigui couldn't give gifts to Sun Jiao, so he had to find another way, and he naturally thought of Zhu Hao.

For someone else, let alone 20 taels, even 2000 taels may not be able to get it out.

But Huang Zan stayed in Nanjing all the time, and the matter of the transfer to the north was not settled. This was already arranged before Zhu Si ascended the throne. Shouldn't it be changed at the right time?
Zhu Haodao: "Old Sun doesn't have much idea about local specialties. He is easy-going in nature, and he never seeks profit when he becomes an official."

Huang Zan has been an official all his life, and he has gained money and fame, but he didn't get the position of Shangshu of the Sixth Northern Division that he dreamed of.

Old man Sun is easy-going by nature?
You said that in the past, and I have the right to believe it.But now, he is competing with Yang Tinghe's faction on his own. Is this still easy-going?
Zhu Hao asked: "Do you know that the biggest matter in the court recently involves the appointment and dismissal of personnel?"

Su Xigui said: "Is there any clue about Huang Gong's transfer of the Minister of Rites to the north? If so, I can..."

The partisan thing...

"Okay, then I'll write it down for you first. Your money is not for me, but for Your Majesty." Zhu Hao said, "But I have to say my ugly words first..."

After all, Huang Zan himself is the Minister of the Southern Household Department, and being transferred to the Minister of the Sixth Northern Department is not considered to have exceeded the regulations, and it can only be regarded as a transfer at the same level. In this way, he is willing to pay such a large price to clear it up, which shows that Su Xigui and Huang Zan have a high regard for the official position of the Sixth Northern Department. enthusiastic.

Su Xigui did not expect Zhu Hao's answer to be so "direct".

Even if you, Huang Zan, have a good reputation as an official, what achievements have you made in the literary world and ethics?
Why should you, Huang Zan, be the Minister of Rites?
"No."

Later, when Yang Tinghe wanted to take action against the Nanjing officialdom, Zhu Hao assisted Zhu Si to block the way. So far, the changes in the Nanjing officialdom have not involved too many factors of party struggle.

In order to avoid being noticed by the staff of the Jiaofang Division, there is a screen between the wine table and the musicians singing outside.

Many times there are no clear boundaries.

Or find Sun Jiao and others to be the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and give Huang Zan the position of a minister of the Northern Sixth Department or the censor of Zuodu?

It won't work for Huang Zan to be the Minister of Rites directly, so can we make a change?
For example, transfer one of the six ministers of the capital to Nanjing as the minister of the official department, and leave his position to Huang Zan?

After hearing Zhu Hao's words, he felt relieved.

Originally, he didn't expect Huang Zan to be a minister of the Sixth Northern Division for a few more years. To be a minister of the Sixth Northern Division for one or two years was enough for Huang Zan, and for him, Su Xigui, it was also a fulfillment of his mission.

The reason why it is called a mission is because Su Xigui is well prepared and will wholeheartedly rely on Zhu Hao to do things in the future.

Huang Zan?

That's all in the past!
