Jinyi champion

Chapter 824

For Yang Tinghe, this is just a matter of talking.

But for Liu Chun and Sun Jiao, it can make them lose their legs.

Liu Chun had no way to refuse. Now that his boss had issued the order, he could only go to talk to Sun about it. Why did Daming be a place that pays attention to seniority?Although both are cabinet bachelors, those who entered the cabinet first had a higher status and more power than those who entered the cabinet later, so Liu Chun could only obey orders.

Sun Jiao has a choice here, he can turn a blind eye.

There are conflicts between your monarchs and ministers, why do you ask me to come forward as a peacemaker?
But now Yang Tinghe considered that Sun Jiao might refuse, so he asked Liu Chun to explain the stakes to Sun Jiao. In addition, Yang Tinghe meant that the opening of mines would follow the precedents of Huangzhuang and Huangdian and all be listed under the name of the household department. It is also in line with Sun Jiao's original intention that all accounts are handled by the Ministry of Accounts.

Sun Jiao pondered carefully.

Regardless of whether this is Zhu Hao's plan or not, even if Zhu Hao wants to profit from it, the emperor's small treasury cannot be allowed to become a whole by itself and will never be under the jurisdiction of the household department. Seeking power and interests for the Ministry of Households, why avoid it?
It is not easy for ordinary ministers to face the Holy Spirit.

First of all, you have to find someone to report, and then wait for the hearing. It also depends on whether the emperor has time, and more importantly, whether the emperor is willing to give face.

Sun Jiao had been waiting outside Donghua Gate since noon. After waiting for nearly two hours, the sun was about to set before Zhang Zuo appeared in front of Donghua Gate and brought Sun Jiao to have an audience.

"Sun Butang, you shouldn't have come."

There was a bit of regret in Zhang Zuo's tone.

Sun Jiao understood that neither the new emperor nor Zhang Zuo nor Zhu Hao wanted Sun Jiao to be involved in the dispute between the emperor and Yang Tinghe.

Sun Jiaodao: "A large amount of money is involved in the mining of the imperial court. As the secretary of the household department, Sun has a duty-bound responsibility!"

Zhang Zuo shook his head and smiled, without correcting anything.

……

……

Zhang Zuo didn't leave the palace until dark.

After leaving the palace, he went straight to Yang Tinghe's mansion.

Regardless of any taboos, if you Yang Jiefu asked Liu Renzhong to come to me, it means that you are the instigator of this incident. Now that I have talked to His Majesty, if you don’t talk to Yang Jiefu, who should you turn to?

Yang Tinghe's study room.

Even though Yang Shen, who brought Sun into the room, wanted to stay and listen, he was still ruthlessly expelled from the room by Yang Tinghe.

After Yang Tinghe asked Sun Jiao to sit down, they were separated by a coffee table, Yang Tinghe wanted to let the servants serve tea, but Sun Jiao stopped him.

"Let's be honest, this old man has already entered the palace to meet His Majesty."

In terms of age between the two, Sun Jiao is six years older than Yang Tinghe, even if he is not as senior as Yang Tinghe, but it is okay to be the elder in front of Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe nodded: "I think Renzhong has already conveyed his meaning to me. I don't know what Brother Zhitong told His Majesty?"

Sun Jiaodao: "Let's talk about His Majesty's opinion... His Majesty means that it is not feasible for the time being to hand over the mining business to the Ministry of Accounts!"

"Oh."

When Yang Tinghe heard this, he couldn't help thinking about it. The underlying meaning of these words is that the conversation has already collapsed?
Sun Jiao sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, if the affairs of the court are changed from day to day just because the ministers participated in the performance, then what is the emperor's prestige? Besides, the mining business involves a lot of interests. If it is handed over to the Ministry of Households rashly, it will seriously affect the government. Income from the Inner Palace, after all, the Imperial Palace has been supported by some extra income in the past two years. You should also know, Jiefu, that the Inner Palace has been living a tight life in the past two years..."

Yang Tinghe didn't want to listen to these gossip.

Did the little emperor tell old man Sun to come to me to complain?

I don’t care if your life is tight in the palace. Now the palace’s income is not restricted by the court. This is the scariest thing. Moreover, such things as mining can easily disrupt the livelihood of the local people. It’s true that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty never considered this kind of thing. ?The only one who dares to carry it out is you, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!

Forgot who pushed you to the throne of the emperor?
Sun Jiaoben wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Yang Tinghe reaching out his hand.

Yang Tinghe said: "Brother Zhitong, tell me clearly, will your majesty offer any conditions?"

In Yang Tinghe's view, since it is a negotiation, it is seeing each other.

If the emperor doesn't offer any conditions, just say that he doesn't agree, then he's a bit ignorant.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, I have taken the lead in making concessions, but you insist on not giving in, then there is no room for change in the matter, and you will fight again in the court in the future, unless you want to continue to avoid the court, otherwise it will be a situation of siege by all the officials .

I don't believe you can keep hiding from the minister!

Sun Jiao said helplessly: "The conditions are really raised."

Seeing Sun Jiao's embarrassment, Yang Tinghe knew that the emperor's conditions must be unacceptable.

Yang Tinghe said: "I am like you, but it's okay to say so."

Sun Jiao shook his head and sighed, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all, and it was as if the emperor was ignorant of setting conditions randomly, and said: "Your Majesty, the mine must be handed over to the Ministry of Accounting unless Bohu is appointed as the right-hand man of the Ministry of Accounting." The servant, who specializes in mining matters. If the right servant of the household department is not available, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry..."

"Humph."

Yang Tinghe heard the conditions offered by the emperor, and thought it was really difficult to accept.

The emperor never cut off his intention to re-enable Tang Yin, and tried to find Tang Yin the official position of servant.

Sun Jiaodao: "Thinking about it, the old man said that if the matter of mining fell into Bohu's hands, it would not be much different from leaving it in the hands of the Zhongguan and Jin Yiwei. The old man said to think it over again, and by the way, he also asked his colleagues for their opinions, and then First out of the palace. Jie Fu, what do you think?"

Yang Tinghe said: "In my opinion, this proposal is naturally unacceptable."

"Ah."

Sun Jiao nodded, as if he had completely agreed with Yang Tinghe on this matter, and commented, "Although Bohu has certain talents, he is still not good enough to manage a department's affairs. Such people should be used with caution. Otherwise, He will be the next sycophant! But there is one thing, Jie Fu, you don’t need to worry too much, that is, Bohu really doesn’t care much about fame and wealth, most of the time it’s just His Majesty making arrangements, and Bohu has been refusing.”

Sun Jiao didn't forget to say a few good words for Tang Yin, and wanted to let Yang Tinghe relax his vigilance towards Tang Yin, but it didn't have any effect at all.

Yang Tinghe has never been able to find an expert to help the emperor, and Tang Yin is currently the most famous aide in front of the emperor. Even if Tang Yin has no intention of officialdom, as long as he stays in Beijing for one day, he will have a chance to be used by the new emperor in the future. its reassuring?

Sun Jiaodao: "The old man also mentioned to His Majesty that you can leave the management of the mine to Jingdao."

This sentence immediately gathered Yang Tinghe's thoughts back.

Yang Tinghe felt that Sun Jiao's proposal to the emperor was too direct.

As we all know, Zhu Hao and the new emperor's faction are in conflict. This time, Zhang Cong, trusted by the emperor, came forward to impeach Zhu Hao, which caused disputes in the court. How dare your grandson ask the emperor to let Zhu Hao take care of the mine?You really did not hesitate to risk offending the emperor in order to fight for the rights and interests of your son-in-law.

Who is your grandson from?
Why didn't I know you were on my side?
"Your Majesty didn't comment." Sun Jiao added.

Yang Tinghe narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhitong, don't you think you shouldn't have this proposal?"

Sun Jiao said with a smile: "On the contrary, this old man thinks it is very necessary. Although on the surface, Jing Dao is only a Jinshi who has only been in the court for two years and has not done anything yet, but at least he is my grandson's son-in-law... ...Seeing that the time left for this old man is not long, and I want my son-in-law to do something, and take this opportunity to support him, wouldn't His Majesty sell this old man's face?"

Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Brother Zhitong, how can you be a person who disregards the righteousness of the court for personal gain?"

"Hey, Jie Fu, what you said is wrong. I'm not disregarding the righteousness of the court. It's because I think Jingdao has a pure character. In addition to his background, he may hinder his future career, so I want to help him. In the final analysis, this is also cultivating talents for Daming, can it be regarded as self-interest?"

When Sun Jiao said this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

What the hell am I talking about?
Heartbroken!

Jingdao, what kind of "pure character" is that kid?Is his future hindered?If the one in front of me retreats, I'm afraid that kid will climb up to the position of chief assistant if he turns around, so why do I need to help him find it?God, please forgive me for speaking against my will, it's all for the sake of appearance.

Yang Tinghe said: "Brother Zhitong is going too far, I don't have this intention, on the contrary, His Majesty should not agree."

Sun Jiaodao: "Whether His Majesty agrees or not, I will try my best to fight for it. Jiefu, I want to mention something to you, so please agree to it."

"Oh?"

Yang Tinghe was puzzled.

You, old man Sun, still have time to beg me?
Sun Jiao said solemnly: "I just beg, if this happens, Jing Dao will not be your disciple in the future, and you should no longer give orders to Jing Dao, even if it is your son or the people around you!"

Yang Tinghe was silent for a while.

Sun Jiao seemed to have some trump card that was useless, so he negotiated terms with him.

"I know what you're thinking. In fact, as you said, the old man would rather let Jingdao become a fledgling Jinshi with no factions than to let him be involved in endless court disputes, but before he was in the whirlpool of the court The sinking is getting deeper and deeper, the old man sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart, but he has been unable to do anything for him."

Sun Jiao spoke sincerely.

It seems that he can do things for Yang Tinghe in exchange for Zhu Hao getting a "free body".

Yang Tinghe said: "If I help him, isn't it beneficial to his future?"

Sun Jiao shook his head and smiled wryly, and said, "Jiefu, let's be honest, there is nothing to avoid, what do you think? As a courtier, shouldn't the highest pursuit be the king's benefit, and you must obey those orders in the name of loyalty?" An embarrassment for the king? Since His Majesty took the throne, except for some paranoid about birth etiquette, His Majesty seems to have made no major mistakes, right?"

These words really stopped Yang Tinghe.

After Zhu Si ascended the throne, it seemed that there were a lot of nonsense, but most of them were just arguing fiercely with ministers in the court.

Most of the time, the little emperor didn't hold any grudges, and didn't say that he would act recklessly against his ministers. Even if there were disputes, it was just about the matter and not the person.Even Yang Tinghe, no matter how much he is suspected by the emperor, is always respected by the emperor.

Yang Tinghe said: "Zhitong, how can you get His Majesty to agree?"

Sun Jiaodao: "There is no other way, the only way is not to advance or to retreat. The old man said harshly, if His Majesty does not agree with today's proposal, then I will never see my Sun in the court again, regardless of the mining matter. How much income is still under the control of the Zhongguan, but it is just going to the account of the Ministry of Accounts, is it completely unacceptable to His Majesty? Or, His Majesty can't even tolerate me as a minister of the Ministry of Accounts?
"Using this to blackmail His Majesty is not the reason why your intermediary asked me to come forward?"
