Zhu Si had to go back to the palace that night and would not stay in Sixianju, but Zhang Zuo consciously stayed.

In the dead of night, while reviewing the memorial with Zhu Hao, Zhang Zuo took out another memorial from his arms and handed it to Zhu Hao.

"This is……?"

Zhu Hao looked at Zhang Zuo.

Not in the public memorial, but in his arms, Zhang Zuo is reserved by nature, and he would not be so unruly, so there is only one explanation, that is, Zhu Si asked him to do so.

Zhang Zuowei said: "This is the memorial to Sun Laobutang of the household department to resign, and Sun Butang has also entered the eighth copy."

Zhu Hao took it over and looked at it carefully, and it was indeed the resignation form handed in by Sun.

The rhetoric is the same, not too gorgeous, but without Yang Tinghe's persuasive tone, it's more like the minister doesn't want to do it anymore, and he just puts on the pick. From this memorandum, it can't be seen how much responsibility Sun Jiao has for this country , only revealed the thought of wanting to live a small life behind closed doors.

This is probably the essential difference between Sun Jiao and Yang Tinghe.

Sun Jiao was focused on living a stable life, never thought of contributing to Daming, and wished to retire early.

Although Yang Tinghe formed a fierce struggle with the imperial power, he had a sense of responsibility to Daming, and he had the feelings of his subjects serving the country and the people. Yang Tinghe actually didn't want to be an official, but seeing the disharmony between the monarch and his ministers, he had to submit his resignation.

Seeing that Zhu Hao was seriously reading Sun Jiao's resignation, Zhang Zuo's voice softened: "Your Majesty, Mr. Sun's decision is up to you. In fact, whether Mr. Sun retires or not is all up to you, Mr. Zhu." .”

In fact, Zhu Si didn't think that Sun Jiao was such an indispensable figure.

The reason why Sun Jiao was allowed to stay was that Zhu Si was more concerned with Zhu Hao's face, and that Sun Jiao was from his hometown in Anlu, and he was an important court official whom the old Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao had deliberately befriended and wooed at the beginning. From a personal point of view Said that Zhu Si only likes people from Xingwang's mansion, especially Zhu Hao, and he doesn't want to stay with anyone who has a little bit of trouble with him.

This also shows Zhu Si's character.

Heartless and ungrateful.

"Ah."

Zhu Hao nodded and didn't say any more.

……

……

The deadline Zhu Hao set for Zhu Si was three days.

It seems that there is a need for further consideration, but in fact it means that Yang Tinghe's resignation must be agreed within three days, and Yang Tinghe must return to his hometown in Sichuan.

As long as Yang Tinghe can leave, the emperor should act or perform, the monarch and his ministers are reluctant to part, the care for Yang Tinghe when he leaves the capital, the reception after returning to his hometown... In short, give me what you can, take care of me, as long as you get out, Do you still care about a little favor?

Yang Tinghe had already made up his mind that he wanted to leave, and he was making arrangements every moment, he no longer cared when the emperor agreed.

As for Zhu Hao, he had to seize these three days and try to do something to change the situation of the court.

The next day Zhu Hao went to the official department for a walk, because Zhu Hao was not a full-time official member of the official department, and he didn't even need to go to the yamen every day. Wang Jun, who has become the Minister of Rites.

Wang Jun didn't know Zhu Hao, and there were people around him, so he just glanced at Zhu Hao inadvertently.

Seeing Zhu Hao's age and the official uniform on his body, Wang Jun could probably guess who this young man was, but as Wang Jun, he didn't need to contact any middle- and lower-level officials, so he walked straight into the officials' office with a blank expression. Ministry of Yamen.

"master."

This time, Yu San found four bearers to carry Zhu Hao's sedan chair.

For ordinary officials in the capital, it is relatively convenient to take a horse-drawn carriage, one horse and one driver, and the cost of maintenance is relatively low, and it is also convenient to travel. They can go wherever they want, and they can run fast with a few whips occasionally.

Only big bosses choose to take a sedan chair because the cost of maintaining a sedan chair is relatively high.

This time Zhu Hao came to the Ministry of Officials to perform his duties, and there was a change that he planned to sit in a sedan chair from now on.

This is to reflect a posture of slowing down the pace of life. He used to be on duty in the Imperial Academy, but he needed to be busy, so that he seemed to be full of vigor and hard work.

Now, as a part-time official, Uiro, it seems that nothing has changed, but he has to show that he is really relaxed and doesn't care about the current frustration in the officialdom.

Take a sedan chair, at least be more comfortable, so that it is convenient for Zhu Hao to take a nap or think about things on the road.

Zhu Haoshi hurriedly got on the sedan chair, signaling to go to the next destination.

……

……

The sedan chair stopped in front of a theater building.

Su Xigui waited for a long time.

The main purpose of Su Xigui's coming to Beijing this time was to transfer Beijing for Huang Zan, because the positions of Minister of the Ministry of War and Minister of the Ministry of Households in the Six Departments seemed to change soon. It was a critical time for Yang Tinghe to retire.

For Su Xigui, fighting for Huang Zan might be the best opportunity.

If he can't compete this time, he will have to wait at least half a year or even a year before transferring Huang Zan to the capital.

And Huang Zan has been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing for almost three years. This time, after passing the three-year examination, whether Huang Zan can continue to be an official is still a question. Maybe he will be given a vacant position by Long Chong and return to his hometown. up.

After all, Huang Zan is not young anymore.

"...This is a small gift."

Su Xigui has always opened the way with money, and this time is no exception, he just stuffed the money first.

In the past, it was necessary to carry money to each family to deliver, but now it is straightforward, just present the bank note.

Zhu Hao looked at the number above, it was only 1 taels.

It doesn't look like much, but if you add the previous sporadic contributions from Su Xigui, the expenses for Zhu Si's railway repair alone are more than 15 taels, of which 12 taels were handed over by Zhu Hao.

The cost of mining is also more than 10 taels.

Opening a bank account does not count, after all, it is an investment.

Then there is the personal bribe given to Zhu Hao, which is about 9 to 1 taels when Zhu Hao transferred it to mining and railway construction. Adding this 10 taels, it is almost [-] taels.

In this way, Su Xigui is really rich.

Zhu Hao used to just accept it with a smile, but this time he confiscated it and pushed it back.

Su Xigui turned pale with shock: "Little Master, are you...?"

Zhu Hao said: "Recently, there is no shortage of money in the imperial court, and neither is my side, so you should put it away first and use it when it is critical."

Instead of directly refusing, she told Su Xigui that you will send it later.

Although Su Xigui didn't quite understand what Zhu Hao meant, he still took the bank note back as he said, but couldn't help asking: "How long will it take for Mr. Yang Ge to become an official?"

"Three days." Zhu Hao said.

"Hiss... good!"

After thinking about it, Su Xigui said the most sincere evaluation.

When Yang Tinghe was in the court, the pressure exerted by the civil servant faction was very great, especially for ministers like Huang Zan who remained from the previous dynasty. This pressure would make every official tremble with fear. After all, Yang Tinghe was not so easy to fool.

Now that Yang Tinghe is going to retire, even if Huang Zan can't be transferred to the capital as the six ministers, at least for Huang Zan, it will be a relief.

"How long will there be a vacancy for the Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

Su Xigui asked Zhu Hao for news again.

These gossips will be spread by the outside world, and some people even spread them with their noses and eyes, but in terms of authenticity, Zhu Hao's place is more reliable. After all, Zhu Hao can get in touch with the most core secrets, and some things are still decided by Zhu Hao directly.

Zhu Hao said: "The Minister of the Ministry of War may be vacant for a month or two, and the Minister of the Ministry of Households will have to wait until the end of the year."

Su Xigui smiled and said: "But I heard that Yang Ge's senior official wanted to bring Sun Shangshu along..."

Zhu Hao pouted, shook his head and said, "I won't let old man Sun back down."

A very domineering sentence.

No matter who wants Sun Jiao to retire, if I don't let him retire, he won't be able to.

These were originally very encouraging words for Su Xigui. After all, Su Xigui is now looking forward to Zhu Hao's leadership, and he is determined to follow Zhu Hao in the future, but thinking that if Sun Jiao can't retreat, there will be no vacant seat, no matter how you look at it, Huang Zan will find it difficult to adjust the capital Dang Shangshu.

"Pity……"

Su Xigui said a word.

Zhu Hao understood Su Xigui's meaning, and said with a smile, "There are two choices before Mr. Huang."

"Oh? Little Master, please tell me."

Su Xigui's eyes widened.

Zhu Haodao: "One is to enter the cabinet as a Hanlin scholar, and he will be an official after half a year. The other is to be a minister of the Ministry of War, and he can do it for one to two years."

The words were not long, but Su Xigui's eyes widened after hearing this.

Su Xigui looked around, there was no one else in the private room, but he wasn't sure if the partition had ears, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Is there still a chance to join the cabinet?"

Zhu Hao nodded: "If you want to join the cabinet, you will have to wait until the end of the year. After Jiang Ge and Mao Ge retire, there will be a vacuum period. The first assistant will be Fei Ge or Liu Ge, and there will be no additional candidates for the cabinet. It's settled, the current idea is to transfer Yang Lao from Zhenjiang in Zhili South and Xie Lao from Yuyao, Zhejiang to come back, or only transfer one person, leaving two empty, Huang Butang can take the opportunity to join the cabinet."

"This...is pretty good."

Su Xigui smiled openly.

They are all important ministers in the court. To Huang Zan, how long he works doesn't seem to be that important.

Huang Zan is an official fan, and he is not greedy for money. In fact, Huang Zan is very willing to pay for being an official. Su Xigui is very aware of his brother-in-law's character, and knows the way to join the cabinet. Huang Zan probably never dreamed of it before.

But now if Zhu Hao is planning for him, it would be simply...

"As for the Minister of the Ministry of War, it will have to wait until October. However, Mr. Jiang Ge may be the chief assistant at that time. Huang Butang may not have an advantage in the court push. But if there is another change in the Minister of the Ministry of War at the beginning of next year, then Huang If the Ministry of War is the Secretary of the Ministry of War, it is almost guaranteed."

"Yes, very good."

Su Xigui wasn't very interested this time.

Zhu Haodao: "Speaking of which, the road to the cabinet is not smooth, and you may encounter some criticisms. After entering the cabinet, it is only used as a transition. In the middle of the next year, after the cabinet structure is stable, Huang Butang will basically step down. As for The Secretary of the Ministry of War is justified, but the responsibility will be greater, because in the past two years there will be continuous use of troops in the Northwest, and this year is just a short rest due to the blessing of winning the war last year."

Su Xigui said: "Then can I wait until I go to discuss with Huang Gong before making a decision?"

"Say it to your face, don't write a letter."

Zhu Hao exhorted, "I only talked to you about this kind of thing, and I didn't even mention it to Your Majesty."

As soon as Su Xigui heard this, he knew that Zhu Hao had settled the affairs of the court.

He was very inspired: "I will go back to Nanjing in person and mention it to Mr. Huang face to face, so no fourth person will know about it."
