Capital City! Sun Mansion!

Sun Chengzong sat in his study and looked at the official documents from various places. The territory ruled by the Liao army was getting larger and larger, and there were more and more official documents. Every place needed to appoint officials to govern, and everyone had to be reviewed by Sun Chengzong in person.

I have a sharp eye that I have cultivated all my life. I don’t need to pull a mule or a horse around. I can see the same person with just one glance. In addition, the governors from all over the country came to Beijing to report on their duties. I was so busy that I was hitting the back of my head all day long.

These days, I see people every day and receive foreign ministers every day. I can only do the paperwork at night. Fortunately, I worked hard on my muscles when I was young, otherwise my body would really be too much.

The door of the house opened with a creak, and Sun Chengzong didn't even raise his head. At this time, the only one who dared to enter the study was his eldest son Sun Quan. This eldest son once served as a county magistrate in Gaoyuan, Shandong, because he was so happy in his appointment that he built a lot of projects.

, causing Gaoyuan County’s debt to reach as high as one hundred thousand taels of silver.

The banknotes from the Ministry of Personnel did not come up, but the banknotes from the Ministry of Revenue were handed to Sun Chengzong. The amount of money was too large, and Ai Husheng had no way to think about it. He could only let Mr. Sun handle it by himself!

Sun Chengzong couldn't help it. Not even one of Sun Quan's copper brothers put the money into his pocket. All of it was invested in building water conservancy projects in the local area. It can be said that he was dedicated to serving the public.

A high eye but a low hand! If you don’t have a pair of eyes that can see into people’s hearts, you will only have ambitions. Over time, you will get into big trouble.

Sun Quan was asked to resign as magistrate of Gaoyuan County, and Sun Chengzong took him with him to watch over him. He did not expect his eldest son to honor his ancestors, but only hoped that he would not cause any trouble.

The heavier the authority on his body, the more cautious Sun Chengzong became. Now that he closes his eyes, he is reminded of the series of vicious battles between the Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxian in the capital.

"Boss, put down the tea cup. You must have been depressed these days!" Sun Chengzong put down his pen and pointed to the position at hand.

"No!" Sun Quan put down the tea cup in his hand, bowed and stood beside his father obediently.

"It's quite comfortable to meet some friends in the capital to drink tea and compose poems." Sun Quan accompanied him and carefully answered. Sun Chengzong's family was very strict since he was a child, and Sun Quan saw his father like a mouse seeing a cat. As long as Sun Chengzong is in the house,

Sun Quan felt that the air was stagnant.

"After ten years of studying hard, you were able to enjoy the position of county magistrate. But you were suddenly removed from your position by your father. Have you ever had any resentment towards your father?" Sun Chengzong glanced at Sun Quan with his bright eyes and picked up the teacup.

He took a sip. Then he dipped his finger in the tea and wiped his eyebrows.

"My child... my child... I have no resentment."

"No resentment, haha! You don't mean what you say!" Sun Chengzong closed his eyes and threw out the sentence lightly.

Sun Quan trembled, glanced at his father several times, and then said carefully: "My son just wants to make some achievements and make his father look good."

"My heart is good, but it's a pity that you have brought disgrace on my father's face. There is nothing wrong with your construction of water conservancy in Gaoyuan, and it is a great benefit. If you do a good job, the court should give you a big praise."

"The child has already achieved some success. If the imperial court provides additional funding, he can achieve great success within two years. I hate that Ai Husheng..."

"He won't grant you funds? If I use your name, he still won't give you face, right?"

"That's right, Dad! That Korean Bangzi doesn't take you seriously at all. He keeps saying nice things all day long, but he's not willing to grant me a mere hundred thousand taels of silver. He doesn't see our Sun family making great achievements!

"Sun Quan was a little excited, and even his voice raised a higher tone.

"A mere one hundred thousand taels of silver, haha! The imperial court's annual tax is only more than seven million taels of silver. You only need a mere one hundred thousand taels for one county. There are 2,841 counties in the Ming Dynasty, each with its own

Difficulty. Even if you look like you, why should Ai Husheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, hang himself?" Sun Chengzong said lightly again.

"Can……"

"But you are Sun Quan, the son of Sun Chengzong, right? No matter what, Ai Husheng has to give you face as the first government official in the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Dad, you still have to be considerate of your appearance."

"Nonsense! I only know how to recite poems and write arty poems all day long. I have great ambitions in my chest, but I have no strength in my hands. I am a dandy with a high eye and a low hand. It's only a hundred thousand taels. If Ai Husheng doesn't give it to you, he dares to go to the private sector for a loan, and he actually gives it.

Three percent interest is coming. You are generous to the country!

Look at the people you employ, they are all lining their own pockets. The budget is ten times higher, and they are not afraid to tell you that even ten thousand taels of silver in your project is being worked on by people.

How dare I, Sun Chengzong, recall a son like you who is as lofty as heaven but as thin as paper? How dare you blame Ai Husheng for not giving your father face? If he didn't impeach you, it would be a huge favor to your father."

The more Sun Chengzong talked, the more excited he became, and his palms slapped on the table with a "pop" sound.

The tea cup was shaken, and the tea soup spilled out and flowed down the corner of the table.

"Dad!" Seeing his father being angry, Sun Quan was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground.

"It's just a matter of writing and writing all day long in the capital, but what have you been involved in? You have to let your father know about such a big thing. Otherwise, Mr. Sun will cause something big, and your father will

I’m afraid my head won’t be able to hold it on.”

"Dad...baby...baby...!"

"Who are Zhang Jinyan, Li Wenji, Zhuang Tinglong, Dai Mingshi, Xie Jishi, and Lu Liuliang?"

"Dad!" Sun Quan's face was as pale as a piece of paper.

"Okay! Kill the Li family and make my Sun family the emperor. You are not good at being a county magistrate, but now you are even more powerful, quite like a prince! Didn't you see it? My son has a swan in his chest!" Sun Chengzong gritted his teeth and resented it.

looking at this son.

"Dad! The Li family is nothing more than a farmer in Liaodong District. Qiu Ba took advantage of the troubled times and rose up. Look at the people Li Xiao appointed, including Ao Canghai, Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao, Zu Dashou and the like. Which one doesn't just know how to kill people for fun?

Reckless man.

How can I let a group of reckless men stand in the court with my great literary talent and grace? If they come to power, the teachings of Confucius and Mencius will be discarded like worn-out shoes.

My father has been an official all his life, and now he is in the central position. His disciples and former officials are widely spread in the court, and the government affairs of the world are tied together.

Although my Sun family is not a famous family, it can be regarded as a heirloom of poetry and calligraphy. Compared with the Li family, my Sun family is more qualified to be the emperor."

"Pah!" Sun Chengzong rounded his fist and slapped Sun Quan on the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Restore the literary talent and the way of Confucius and Mencius. Then let me ask you, when the Jurchens' sabers passed over Fushun, Shenyang, and Liaoyang, when they cut off human heads and cut leeks, where was your literary talent and the way of Confucius and Mencius?

The imperial court and the people of the world all depended on Li Xiao to lead Ao Canghai, Mangui and others to fight for their lives at the expense of their lives. This is how you are today's literary grace and grace, and this is how you are today's Confucius and Mencius.

Without them, you would now have pig-like pigtails, a shaved head, sitting on the street corner with a runny nose. You still practice the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and you are still literary and elegant.

He is a hero who is smart and courageous. Li Xiao stands alone on Pi Island, making weapons and training troops to turn the tide before falling. Do you still have the heart to compete with him? "

"Sage's words...!"

"Bah! You are still saying what the sage said, and the sage said that the world is the first. From the end of Wanli, wars broke out all over the Ming Dynasty, and the people were running wild. Floods, locust plagues, and horrific plagues were raging. The population of the Ming Dynasty dropped from two thousand in the end of Wanli.

There were more than nine million households, but now there are more than five million households less.

The Battle of Jinling has just ended, and the world once again has hope for peace. Now you want to assassinate Li Xiao and make me the emperor. If you do this, will Ao Canghai watch? Cao Wenzhao watch? Zu Dashou will watch

?Will Yuan Chonghuan watch?

If these arrogant and powerful generals lose the restraint of Li Xiao, do you know how many people will die in this world? Do you want all the people of Ming Dynasty to die and China to become a barbarian pasture again?

If you are not good at literature or martial arts, you will not be able to do this or that. However, your ambition is as high as the sky. Now you actually dream of becoming a prince and becoming an emperor in the future.

It is the greatest misfortune for the people of the world that a person like you becomes the emperor." Sun Chengzong said urgently, and he sat down on the chair, breathing heavily.

"Father……!"

"Don't call me father, my Sun Chengzong can't afford it. My Sun family can't afford descendants like you!"

"Dad, the kid is just...!"

"Come here, send this traitor back to his hometown in Gaoyang immediately. Tell your second brother that from now on this traitor will not be allowed to see anyone, nor will he step out of the house." Sun Chengzong roared, and two big men with curly beards walked in immediately outside the door.

"Take away!"

"promise!"

"Father! You can't, you can't...!"
