Jinyi champion

Beijing.

After the morning court that day, Zhu Si asked Zhang Zuo to call Sun Jiao, Shangshu of the household department, to Qianqing Palace.

Sun Jiao was suddenly summoned by the emperor alone, and he could feel the strange eyes of his colleagues around him.

After arriving at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Si handed over the two manuscripts to Sun Jiao, who was surprised after reading them.

One was written by Zhu Haolin before he was "captured" by Jin Yiwei, and the other was from Li Tong's "confession".

"Sun Butang, I want to hear your opinion...how should I handle this matter?" Zhu Si asked.

Sun Jiao was in a dilemma. He didn't know what Zhu Hao was doing. In Li Tong's confession, he only mentioned Shi Zan, Bo Huairou, and did not implicate Yang Tinghe. , the real instigator behind the scenes must be Yang Tinghe.

Sun Jiaodao: "The old minister dare not judge rashly...Your Majesty, this matter should be handled with caution."

Zhu Si sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be someone in the court who guards and steals himself. He is still a hereditary noble. If you really want to use the millions of catties of iron for military equipment, you can just give it to you like Sun Qing's family." It’s enough for me to write the above, and I’m not an ignorant person, why would I steal it? Now it’s lost? Why do I think they’re just talking nonsense to me?”

Sun Jiao didn't know why such a result appeared.

There seems to be only one explanation.

Sun Jiaoxin said, Zhu Hao thinks that it is not enough to accuse Yang Jiefu of accusation without accusation, and let the world know that Yang Jiefu is cheating the king?

Where can such a large amount of pig iron be obtained?
Zhu Sidao: "I discussed with you before that I would blame Di Yi for the incident of raiding the mine, but now it seems that it was actually caused by the old man Yang Ge?"

"Your Majesty, be careful, how can this matter have anything to do with Mr. Yang Ge?"

Sun Jiao quickly excused Yang Tinghe.

"Does Sun Qing's family mean that I don't have conclusive evidence? Do you think that if Uncle Huai Rou is taken to jail, will he stab Mr. Yang Ge?" Zhu Sidao.

Sun Jiaodao: "If this is the case, the dignity of the monarch and his ministers will no longer exist. Your Majesty should let the old ministers go to make peace."

Zhu Si nodded with satisfaction: "That's what I think."

Sun Jiao was taken aback.

Immediately he realized that this was not what the emperor meant, it was clearly that kid Zhu Hao who was playing tricks... In the past, he liked to use Zhu Hao as a spearman, but now Zhu Hao has learned how to use his old man Sun.

There was a conflict between the emperor and Yang Tinghe because of a little pig iron, and he wanted his grandson to come forward and act as a peacemaker, walking on both sides?
Sun Jiaodao: "Then... what do you want, Your Majesty?"

Since I am running around on both sides as a middleman and as the messenger of the negotiation, then you should put forward your conditions, Your Majesty, right?
Zhu Si seemed to be thinking about it seriously, and said after a while: "I don't want to go into the details, and now I'm focused on getting that batch of iron back!"

Sun Jiao almost wanted to vomit blood.

What kind of self-stealing, Li Bo has the ability to lose such a large amount of pig iron?
Perhaps it wasn't that Jin Yiwei sold himself a loophole, and then thought of a way to get the iron back?Do you want Yang Tinghe to pay money?

"Otherwise, even if Uncle Huairou goes bankrupt, he will have to compensate me for the huge loss I suffered!" Zhu Si said viciously.

Sun Jiaoxin said, could it be that the purpose of the emperor and Zhu Hao to engage in such a big battle is to make money?

Isn't this a bit too pretentious?

Don't you want to target Yang Jiefu's official career?Let him retire early in exchange for the emperor not to pursue Huai Roubo, Li Tong and others?
Emperor, have you got into the eyes of money now?

Zhu Sidao: "Mr. Sun, don't go to see Mr. Yang Ge, you can just go to see Uncle Huairou... With the testimony of Li Tong, the commander of Yongningwei, I want to ask him, what is he doing?" What are you going to do? I have seen the moth, so blatantly doing things under my nose, is he treating me as transparent? What does he think of the king's law and dignity?"

Sun Jiao was speechless, and after a while he asked, "Your Majesty, is the old minister going now?"

Zhu Si waved his hand: "Go early and come back early."

Sun Jiao almost spit out another mouthful of old blood.

……

……

Looking for Huairou Bo Shi Zan?

Sun Jiao is not that stupid.

Shi Zan was just running errands for others. The emperor's goal in this matter was only Shi Zan?

Obviously aimed at Yang Tinghe.

So after leaving the palace, Sun Jiao was not polite, and directly sent someone to inform Yang Tinghe, and the two met at Yang Tinghe's private house in Jinyu Alley.

Sun Jiao is open and honest.

"...Jiefu, this old man always thought that you were calm in your work and would not make any mistakes in major matters, but you clearly knew that the batch of pig iron could not be moved, but you let the people of Yongningwei step in and detain the batch of pig iron. Aren’t you giving people’s truth in vain?”

Yang Tinghe smiled lightly and asked, "Did His Majesty ask you to tell me this?"

"No."

Sun Jiao shook his head and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, let the old man go to Uncle Huai Rou, let me get this batch of pig iron back from him, no matter what method is used, even if it ruins his family."

The drunkard doesn't mean wine.

Yang Tinghe didn't believe that the emperor dug such a big hole just for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Sun Jiaodao: "Now you have not only involved Uncle Huairou and Commander Yongningwei, you have even tricked Jingdao."

What Sun Jiao meant, I don't care about others, I only care about the safety of my son-in-law Zhu Hao.

Yang Tinghe said with a straight face: "If Jingdao hadn't withheld this batch of pig iron and told Gouzi, how could there be so many incidents now?"

Sun Jiao stared: "Listening to what you mean, is it possible that you still have to rely on Jingdao? Didn't we agree earlier that he will not be at your disposal now? Didn't you think about it before letting Uncle Huairou do things?" , if this matter comes to light, can you stay out of it?"

This made Yang Tinghe very annoyed.

Originally asked Li Tong to detain the batch of pig iron, and then negotiated with the emperor, the emperor had nothing to do.

In fact, it was to prevent the emperor from directly transferring this batch of pig iron to build trains and railways. He wanted raw rice to cook mature rice. What he wanted was that the supplies must be within the control of civil officials.Up to now, Yang Tinghe still hasn't figured out exactly how the incident happened.

Of course, Yang Tinghe also suspected that Zhu Hao and Li Tong were playing tricks secretly, but there seemed to be no direct evidence for such a thing.

The emperor has already started to make moves. He has doubts, but he can't go to Yongping Mansion to investigate in person. He has never interrogated several important people. If he is really called to the court, what should he say?
Can you convince everyone by only expressing the doubts in his heart?
Yang Tinghe said: "It's just a batch of pig iron, so don't make a fuss over a molehill."

Sun Jiaodao: "The matter may not be big, but it is not small. Although His Majesty did not make a big fuss about it now, and did not even mention it in the court, he only asked me to collect debts from the Shi family. What's the point?"

Yang Tinghe didn't want to continue entanglement with Sun Jiao, and said: "In the name of the Minister of the Ministry of Households, you proposed to transfer the batch of pig iron to the Ministry of Households, and now the batch of pig iron is hidden, if you don't come forward, who else can it be? "

Sun Jiao listened.

Yang Jiefu, do you mean that you don't want to care about it?Are you really asking me to collect debts from Shi Zan?You said this, don't regret it!

Sun Jiaodao: "Well, then, I will go to collect debts from the Shi family, and hope Uncle Huairou will abide by the principle and not stab you out! Or even if he doesn't stab you out, and the matter gets publicized, I think there is no one in the world who would not Know that you did it! You have to do it yourself!"

After speaking, Sun Jiao walked away in a huff.

……

……

Sun Jiao lost his temper.

He is no longer the old and feeble old official who likes to be a fool, but a faction leader who can influence the court situation and call the wind and rain in the court.

Sun Jiao looked back and thought about it, but was a little annoyed with his performance.

Why do you want to blow your beard and stare at the Shoufu University scholar?Does this do me any favors?When did I become so useless that I would break the principles again and again?
correct!

It all started with getting to know that kid Zhu Hao!

When I returned to the court, I was obviously kidnapped by the Empress Dowager Jiang. I never thought about being an official. Hao, the morals of the world have changed, and so has the mentality, and now he actually vented his temper in front of the Shoufu University scholar, and scolded Yang Jiefu like a dog!

I am really blinded by lard.

right!That kid Zhu Hao is lard!
This kid is very slippery.

Sun Jiao spoke angrily in front of Yang Tinghe, saying that he was going to collect debts from Shi Zan, but he calmed down after leaving Yang's residence, and realized that even the emperor's purpose was not simply to let him collect debts. After he came out of the palace, he saw Yang Tinghe , Bring the emperor's meaning to the past, maybe the emperor can make a deal.

mission completed!

The rest depends on how Yang Tinghe communicates with Shi Zan. After they discuss it, if necessary, I will go to Shi Zan's mansion again. Otherwise, I will pretend to forget about it, unless the emperor reminds me I.

……

……

Yang Tinghe first went to see Shi Zan that afternoon.

When Shi Zan learned that the pig iron disappeared out of thin air, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. If he hadn't avoided too much contact with Korean and Chinese officials before, he would have asked Yang Tinghe to mediate.

"Zhongtang, you must decide for me."

Shi Zan was almost on his knees before Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe didn't feel nervous at all. Perhaps in his opinion, this matter was far from imminent. He said with relief: "At present, it seems that Li Tong betrayed his promise and secretly sent someone to smuggle the batch of pig iron to Jin Yiwei. This also explains why the Jinyiwei can play tricks under the nose of the local guard."

Shi Zan said: "I don't know if this person has been captured by Jin Yiwei now? If he... If he continues to expose, will he..."

Yang Tinghe said coldly: "You mentioned to him that I asked you to do this?"

Shi Zan smiled wryly.

Do you need to tell Li Tong about this kind of thing?Even if he doesn't say it, Li Tong understands what authority does Huairou Bo have to order him to do this?I still have your note!

"Evidence must not be kept," Yang Ting said in harmony.

As soon as Shi Zan heard it, he understood that the reason Yang Tinghe came here was to let him destroy the note, so that the other party could cut off all contact with this matter.
