Sun Chengzong was packing up his things at home at this time, and he couldn't tell when he would come back, so he had to prepare a lot of things.
His wife, while cleaning up, nagged: "Master, didn't I say, you are also over seventy, where can you still toss like this, the emperor too, you can't send someone else, you are all day and night, day and night, can you afford to eat?"
” Sun Chengzong sat on a chair, drank tea, and ignored the old woman's nagging.
Husband and wife for decades, know each other too well.
Their son, Sun Ling, stood not far away, looking at his father and mother, without making a sound.
He also went with him this time, he is currently in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, serving as the inspector of the Division, from the four grades, not big or small, both status, not so dazzling.
Speaking of which, his qualifications are quite rich, and he has been in Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Governor's Yuan, and he is only five grades now, and he is really affected by his father, Sun Chengzong, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, if both father and son are high-ranking officials, it is too eye-catching.
Sun Chengzong sat there without moving, and when his wife was about to clean up, he looked at Sun Ling and said, "Did your director send you, or yourself?"
” Sun Ling was in awe of Sun Chengzong, bowed down and said: "The director was not assigned, but he said, 'Liaodong is corrupt and unfathomable. ’” Sun Chengzong nodded silently and did not speak for a while.
Over the years, most of the silver of the imperial court went to three places, the first is the army, the second is the Ministry of Industry, and the third is disaster relief.
The situation in Liaodong is basically stable, and now it is a period of digestion, and the focus of the next immigration is North Annan, so some things in Liaodong are about to have an end.
It's just that the current prime minister and governor of Liaodong is the former minister of Shangshu, and Zhou Yingqiu, who is secretly known as one of the leaders of the 'Imperial Party', the anti-corruption bureau is just a small yamen of the four products, and he really dares to make the first cut in Liaodong?
succeeded, dealt a blow to Zhou Yingqiu's prestige, hindered his way to the cabinet, and with his energy, he could easily erase the anti-corruption bureau.
If it is not successful, it will inevitably destroy the layout of the Qianqing Palace.
Is this Gong Dingyu dizzy?
Sun Chengzong wandered around countless thoughts in his heart, hidden, and said calmly: "Well, be cautious about everything, don't be in a hurry, now the court situation seems to be stable, but it is also supported by trees, and any one of them will make the court situation chaotic, you should be clear." ” Sun Ling knew what Sun Chengzong meant, and said: "Before I came, the director had a long talk with me, and he asked me to fully respect Liaodong's attitude, merge the investigation with Liaodong, and everything found out will not be hidden from the Liaodong Prime Minister's Office." ” Sun Chengzong's face moved slightly, this Gong Dingyu is a good means, and he can resolve a dead end so easily, but he has no intention of using his son as a knife.
Mrs.
Sun quickly cleaned up, turned to look at Sun Chengzong and said, "Master, do you really want to leave overnight?"
” Sun Chengzong said: "Without further ado, my emperor has already approved it, and the government soldiers have also arrived, so they will escort me to Tumu Fort tonight." ” The movement of the military department is very fast, and the guards of some important ministers, also known as the government soldiers, have been deployed in place, according to Sun Chengzong's status, there are 238 elite soldiers in the family, all of whom have experienced hundreds of battles in various places, and their combat strength is extraordinary.
Mrs.
Sun looked at Sun Chengzong, who was almost full of gray hair, sighed in her heart, and said, "The things have been packed up, and it is estimated that the meal outside is also ready, and I have called everyone in the capital to see you off." ” Sun Chengzong hated this kind of pomp the most, but seeing that his wife was full of sadness, he didn't say anything when it came to the corner of his mouth, and said, "Hmm." ” Sun Chengzong is more than 70 years old, full of children and grandchildren, plus all branches of the Sun family, there are always more than 100 people in the capital, of course, there are only more than 20 people who can attend Sun Chengzong's family banquet, all of them are men, the future of the Sun family.
Not long after, the side hall was already full of people, the table was full of wine and food, and some people looked quite excited.
It is rumored that it is easy for the imperial court to conquer Chahar, and Sun Chengzong is here to rely on the credit of vain, and it is impossible to say that the Taishi or Taifu is in front of him, and this will be a great glory!
Sun Chengzong knew what these people were thinking, and he didn't break it, and said lightly: "The old man is going, at least three months, at most half a year, you do your own things honestly, don't cause trouble, and discredit my Sun family ancestors." ” Some people heard a different meaning: 'This is a sensitive time for my promotion, so don't make trouble.' ’ A few people raised their hands one after another and said, "Uncle don't worry, I have always been dedicated to public service and self-denial, and we have never exceeded the rules. ” Sun Chengzong glanced at these people, picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat, go back early after eating." ” Everyone didn't feel that Sun Chengzong was cold at all, but became more and more happy, scrambling to toast Sun Chengzong, and the words of congratulating him on his 'high promotion' were directly announced.
Sun Chengzong couldn't listen to it, and was just about to scold, but the housekeeper hurriedly walked in and whispered in his ear: "Master, the emperor and the palace have come down and have arrived at the door." ” Sun Chengzong's expression was slightly shocked, this was the first time Zhu Xu had come to his house.
Thinking in his heart, he quickly got up and walked to the door.
A group of people were lively, watching Sun Chengzong suddenly leave the table, they were all stunned, and they didn't know why.
Sun Chengzong hadn't found the door yet, Zhu Xu had already walked in, and Xiao Ciye was sitting on his shoulder, looking at Sun Chengzong coming towards him, and said with a smile: "Master Sun, I won't bother, right?"
” Sun Chengzong hurriedly saluted and said, "The ministers see the emperor, Your Highness." ” Zhu Xu smiled, took Xiao Ciye's hand, and said, "I and Ciye are both hungry, can we have a meal at Master Sun's house?"
” Sun Chengzong didn't understand Zhu Xu's intention, but still said: "The emperor please, the minister is eating, the emperor doesn't dislike it, let's use a little together." ” Zhu Xu laughed, hugged Xiao Ciye to his chest, and said, "Then it's a coincidence, I also try my master's craftsmanship." ” Sun Chengzong listened to Zhu Xu's title, and became more and more incomprehensible, so he still accompanied Zhu Xu to the side.
Zhu Xu walked into the middle of the house accompanied by Sun Chengzong, and a group of people looked at Zhu Xu, all of them were stunned, they didn't know each other, and they didn't know how to react.
However, Sun Ling looked startled, hurriedly walked out, and said, "The minister sees the emperor." ” The others were stunned at first, then shocked, and came out to salute one after another.
Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand, "No courtesy."
I'm here to eat, no need to be polite, don't be restrained. ” Sun Chengzong arranged a place for Zhu Xu and sat next to him, still thinking about Zhu Xu's intentions.
Zhu Xu put Xiao Ciye on his lap, picked up the dishes on the table by himself, and sandwiched them into a small bowl, which were all prepared for Xiao Ciye.
In the remote area of the Sun family, the needle drop can be heard.
Everyone watched Zhu Xu's every move, and they didn't dare to breathe, and they were cautious and careful.
