After Sun Jiao became the imperial prince, the mansion was renovated by the imperial court, and a large part of it was expanded outward, the area occupied was greatly increased, and the decoration was more luxurious. However, the old man who lived here did not feel the slightest happiness because of the improvement of the environment. In the past, he was a leading figure in the literary world, and there were many guests and friends, but since he became the national ruler, his old friends have cut off contact with him, and no one in the various literary meetings of the Beijing Division has ever thought that he would be such a number.

This is the literati class of the Ming Dynasty, they refuse to forgive those who betray the class, no matter how high your past position is, as long as you betray your class, you will be spurned by everyone. In their opinion, it is already a common practice for ministers not to marry with the royal family, and Sun Jiao not only blatantly violated it, but also fell in love with the position of power, and entered the cabinet without resigning, this is a villain, and if he is in company, even his own face will be lost.

For example, Yang Ting and Ken came over to drink a glass of water and wine today, and Sun Jiao was already grateful from the bottom of his heart, and his attitude was slightly excited. He is a few years older than Yang Tinghe, but his seniority is smaller than Yang Tinghe, so he still holds a junior ceremony.

"Brother Shi Zhai, you are busy with official business, and you are willing to take the time to appreciate the light, and the old man is very grateful. Since the old daughter entered the palace, there have been no literary friends in my family for a long time, but there are many military generals who have come to hand over the name stickers, climb friendships, and make the old decay seem to have become nobles. ”

"Brother Jiufeng, you don't have to go to your heart about these people, what can they do if they change places with you. We are ministers, after all, we can't disobey Your Majesty's will, so that love is in the pepper room, if we can persuade the Son of Heaven to do more righteous things, it is actually a good thing for this world. The story of Wan Guifei in the previous dynasty has not been forgotten, and the significance of a virtuous queen in the palace is not trivial. Yang is not such a fool, he will not stick to some inexplicable opinions, and he can't see good and evil foolishly. ”

"Brother Shi Zhai, with your words, you can be blinded when you die. What I said just now, Brother Shi Zhai think about it, this is not my daughter's meaning, let alone the meaning of the Son of Heaven, just a little humble opinion of the old man. After all, I am from Anlu, and I still know a little about this long live, and there are few things he wants to do. And Yang Chengzu, who assists him, is also a person who is good at using strategies, and this incident, in the eyes of the old man, is probably just a beginning, not an end. Brother Yang I is famous, it is not worth paying for this kind of thing, take a step back and open the sky, the old man has recently been on a begging excerpt again, I really want to go back to my hometown and see the mountains and rivers of my hometown. The climate here in Beijing is getting worse and worse, and the old man is a little tired of staying, if you and I go boating on the lake together, be two old fishermen, compared to fighting in the dangerous currents and rapids, it is much stronger. ”

Yang Tinghe smiled slightly, "Brother Jiufeng is a wonderful person, the old man is not as blessed as you, although the climate here is poor, but I still want to make it better." After reading books and preaching the truth all your life, we can't start to be afraid when it comes to ourselves, so that in the future, we will not be qualified to see our ancestors and ancestors, nor will we have any qualifications to speak in front of our children and grandchildren. ”

"I can understand your kindness, and I know how dangerous this road is. But since I am a minister of Tuogu, I have the obligation to maintain this court. Now if I retire, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, do you think anyone else can take my place? If the country is put into their hands, maybe in the end, they will lose all the foundation established by their ancestors, and in that case, Yang will become a sinner. ”

"This ...... The old man understood, it seems that I thought badly. Sun Jiao sighed, Yang Tinghe has always been a strong person, and it is rare to be willing to say so much to himself. It seems that there are many times, even if you can understand it, you may not really be able to save people, but you can only watch him and go on step by step.

Yang Tinghe smiled at Sun Jiao, "Sun Weng, you are thinking about the right way, but Tinghe is stupid, even if someone points out the right way, he may not necessarily go, don't be surprised." Speaking of which, the old decay came today, but there is also one thing to support. People are not saints and sages, they all have selfishness here, and the selfishness of the old decay is two sons and one daughter in the family. Especially Sheng'an, his temperament is jumpy, and he is easy to be impulsive when encountering problems, and at such times, it is easy to provoke right and wrong. However, I don't want to really suppress his bloodiness and turn him into a mediocre person. So in this conflict, he is likely to offend the Son of Heaven, or do something stupid, I just hope that at that time, Sun Weng can help him say a few words as much as possible, and Tinghe is grateful. ”

"Shi Zhai, you are serious. With Sun Mou's breath, he will not let Sheng'an suffer, he is a talented man of my Ming Dynasty, and in the future world, I will count on him to assist. If anyone dares to disagree with him, the old decay will never sit idly by. ”

Saying this in his capacity was almost to ask for a gold medal for Yang Shen to avoid death, Yang Tinghe was satisfied, and drank tea with Sun Jiao for a while, and then said goodbye and left. When he arrived at the door, Sun Jiao finally couldn't help but say:

"Shi Zhai, the old minister, can't share worries for the country, and he is humiliating to his position, so he is not enough to emulate. If you want to contribute to the country and save the people, this is a model for my generation of scholars. I won't say anything more about your behavior, but please also listen to my advice, take a step back, and endure the calm for a while. Sometimes, there are some things that don't make much sense to fight for them blindly, so it's better to back down and keep the useful body in order to really contribute to the country. ”

"Sun Weng has a heart, Yang wrote it down."

Yang Tinghe was very grateful and saluted him, and after getting out of the sedan chair and putting down the sedan curtain, Yang Tinghe shook his head: Sun Jiufeng is not a direct minister after all, he acts too well for others, he does great things but cherishes his body, cherishes his feathers, and does not dare to anger the Son of Heaven, always thinking about pleasing both sides, such a person can do great things. Tan Fanghe asked outside the sedan chair: "Teacher, Sun Weng invited you today, for?" ”

"It's nothing, he is timid himself, and he thinks of others like him. This kind of person has good intentions, and it can also be seen as a good friend who can be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, but remember, when you meet such a person, you can only let him help you deal with the aftermath, not let him work with you. Because in danger, he will be the first to flee, and he will also shake your resolve and morale, implicating others. Oh yes, there is another one, this person can't withstand the pressure, and the Son of Heaven makes a little gesture here, and he is restless, which is just funny. ”

Back home, Yang Shen had already returned from the Hanlin Academy, Yang Tinghe knew that he was in a hurry to come back to see his wife, and after the two separated, they didn't know when they would be able to meet again. Huang E was busy with her husband Zhang Luona's concubine, but Yang Shen was making trouble in the middle and didn't want to please Xiao. This kind of children's affairs, he didn't want to interfere much, and when he saw him come back, he didn't ask much, but Yang Shen took the initiative to come to him with a solemn face

"Father, Huo Weixian is on this chapter again, this time, he directly asked the Son of Heaven to respect the emperor as his father, and publicly declared that the Son of Heaven would inherit the bloodline of the king. The Son of Heaven Long Yan was overjoyed, and he and Jinshi Hou Tingxun and others had been recruited to jointly compile the great etiquette and discuss the etiquette name, I am afraid that it will be overthrown again. ”

Yang Shen rubbed his hands as he spoke, his eyes were full of excitement, after all, he had passed through the battle formation in the southeast, and he was not comparable to ordinary scholars. Now he has regarded doing it as a war, and he is ready to charge.
