One hundred and thirtieth chapters stay upright

Mr. Zhao, who has always been calm, finally made these three men stir up their fighting spirits with each word.

He picked up the wine cup and poured it on his neck, then wiped his mouth and said, "Say, what should I do?"

"First of all, Tingtui should be at the end of the year. In this month, do not make excessive remarks and do not cause controversy..." Zhao Jin, as a senior minister of the Ministry of Personnel, made valuable suggestions:

"Specifically, it means not being clear about anything."

"I understand, as long as you express your opinion, you will inevitably annoy those who disagree." Zhao Shouzheng said confidently: "This is your old uncle, my strength! It's not that I'm boasting, no one knows how to be ambiguous than me."

As he said that, he hugged Zhao Hao's shoulder and said proudly: "I have applied the 'dad-to-maternity effect' that my son taught to the point of perfection!"

"Also, the most important thing is that you must not make mistakes." Zhao Liben snorted: "I am not worried about anything else, I am afraid that you will always run to places you shouldn't go. If you make a scandal at this time, don't dream of a grandmaster!"

"This is not difficult at all." Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly smiled and said, "My son is guaranteed to go home after get off work and never go anywhere!"

"On the basis of not making mistakes, you must take the initiative." Zhao Hao continued: "My father will visit his father-in-law in the past two days. You haven't shown up after he is sick."

"I want to go to see my in-laws, but where he is sick... Oh, am I afraid that he will be embarrassed?" Zhao Shouzheng said with a scratching ear and a forehead.

"It doesn't matter, I asked someone to dig a hole in the bed so that my father-in-law can turn over." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly: "If my father wants to enter the cabinet, he must first pass the father-in-law's level. If it were someone else, I would recommend it to him directly, but I wouldn't be able to speak out if I was born with my own father."

"That's right, although you don't avoid relatives, Zhang Gong knew exactly what your father is." Zhao Shouzheng also smiled bitterly and said, "If you open your mouth, it would be like you did so many things before, just to help your father get to power."

"No." Zhao Hao nodded repeatedly. It was really not easy for him. He first kept his spirits for Zhang Wenming and served Zhang Juzheng. He really served as a filial son and virtuous grandson for the old Zhang family. If Zhang Xianggong felt that his motive was impure, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?

"Well, you have to show your face in Zhang Jiangling at this time." Zhao Liben agreed with it: "First of all, you have to remind him of you, otherwise everything will be useless."

"Oh, ah..." Zhao Shouzheng forced himself to smile and nodded. "Okay, I'll go tomorrow..."

"You can't just remind him of you." Zhao Jin continued: "You have to impress him. You will increase your favorability for you in the short term, so that you can be safe. After all, there are too many people who cut their heads and squeeze into the cabinet."

"Well, Wang Chonggu retreated at this time and gave the position of Minister of War to Zhang Xianggong, and he also wanted to push Wang Jiaping by the way." Zhao Liben picked up the cigar and sniffed, "Old Xier is so thief who can't help Zhang Siwei, and he wants Wang Jiaping to take it on again."

"Wang Nan is still far behind me." I heard that he had thoughts in the same year, Zhao Shouzheng said with great confidence.

"You are so proud! I'm just trying to cheer you up and be careful of losing Jingzhou!" Zhao Liben patted his head and said.

"Uh..." Zhao Shouzheng shrank his neck and asked nervously: "How should my son talk to his in-laws to impress him?"

"Simple, talk less and ask more questions." Zhao Liben said lightly: "Remember, Xianggong Zhang does not need colleagues, he only needs loyal subordinates. So you have to put the right position and ask more questions with an attitude of asking for instructions. He will naturally realize that you are the right candidate."

"Remember, the most important question is, 'What can I do to serve in-laws, and I will never refuse whether it is public or private matters." Zhao Hao also gave advice to his father:

"My father-in-law will definitely ask you, don't you like to stand out?"

"Yes..." Zhao Shouzheng asked tightly: "How should I answer."

"Just say, I used to think that having an in-laws can be lazy, but now seeing you like this, I know I'm wrong." Zhao Hao waved his fist and said, "I have to stand up and share the worries of my in-laws!"

"Just say this, don't say more." Zhao Liben reminded him worriedly: "Zhang Jiangling is extremely smart, so he understands what you think, too much is not enough."

"Oh." Zhao Shouzheng nodded quickly, and asked while taking out a small notebook and writing it down, "Is this the end?"

"How is it that simple? This is choosing a cabinet grandson. No matter how nepotism is, you can't pick a fool." Zhao Liben said: "Although you have some achievements in the local area, you have been in a state of confusion for more than five years in Beijing. Zhang Jiangling will definitely test you, see if it was your own ability or your son's ability back then."

"Oh, this is the disadvantage of the in-laws." Zhao Shouzheng said depressedly: "I know the roots and the bottom line."

"How will the second uncle be tested?" Zhao Jin asked.

"What else can be done in such a short time? Either let the officials accept his compromise plan, or solve the problem of those five people." Zhao Liben snorted: "There will be no other."

"In fact, these two questions are the same." Zhao Hao continued: "As long as the five people bow their heads and admit their mistakes, the other officials will have nothing to say."

As he said that, he lowered his voice and said, "Those five people have become a father-in-law's heart. Just fight, there is no benefit at all, but it will intensify the conflict. Let it go? If you can't swallow this, it will also damage the authority of the chief assistant. My father might as well agree at once, so as not to let others take the lead."

"It's wonderful!" Zhao Jin clapped and said, "The government and the people are working together to rescue the five gentlemen who wrote the letter. If the second uncle can rescue them, at least he will be spared from the court stick, but he will show his face before the court push! It will also perfectly match your image as the guardian god of all officials."

"Well, having a strict father is enough to bear it. Everyone must hope for more kind mothers in the cabinet." Zhao Liben nodded in agreement and said, "This way, life can continue to be passed."

"Okay, let me become an old lady." Zhao Shouzheng said with a wry smile.

The Zhao family burst into laughter, and even the old man couldn't help laughing. No one was worried, how could they make those five admit their mistakes?

The next day, Zhao Shouzheng and Zhao Hao drove to Dashamao Hutong together.

Although he had said everything he should have said last night, Mr. Zhao was still sweating in his palms. He sighed a little embarrassedly: "In recent years, every time he met his in-laws, he felt like he was seeing through his heart, liver, spleen and lungs. It was okay if there were too many people, but I was really scared to see him alone..."

"Don't be afraid, we came to Chenshi specifically because the medicine had just passed, and he seemed to be awake but not awake, and was in a daze. It was best to deal with it." Zhao Hao said softly.

"Ah, that's it." Zhao Shouzheng let go halfway and looked at his son and said, "You really won't go in?"

"Of course. When I go in, you will just look at me, and it will be exposed." Zhao Hao encouraged his father and said, "If you are really unsure, just treat him as an old man..."

"Good guy, my in-laws have become my father." Zhao Shouzheng smiled self-deprecatingly. But this method is really poisonous. Not to mention, he will find the feeling immediately.

After the carriage entered the prime minister's mansion, Zhao Hao went to the front yard to change shifts with Mao Xiu. Things like keeping in a long time will always turn into shifts...

Zhao Liben went to visit Zhang Juzheng.

There was no need to make an appointment with the in-laws first, so Si Xiu led him directly into Zhang Juzheng's bedroom.

Zhang Xianggong was covered with a quilt and lay on the bed where he had a hole. Perhaps the medicine had just passed, his eyes were dissipated and he was listless. As Zhao Hao said, he did not see any terrifying shock in his usual days.

"In-laws... sit..." Zhang Juzheng raised his hand slightly.

Si Xiu quickly brought the chair. Zhao Shouzheng sat down after thanking him, and cried before he could speak. "I didn't expect that my father... my family is so sick..."

Although Zhang Juzheng didn't understand why his tears came so quickly, he was still moved and said: "You don't have to be sad in the in-laws. It's all the evils that Bugu himself has committed. Fortunately, everything is almost over."

"Ah, what?" Zhao Shouzheng looked surprised.

"Why didn't Zhao Hao tell you?" Zhang Juzheng asked strangely. If others did this, he would think he was playing himself. But with Mr. Zhang's understanding of his in-laws, this silly man would not.

"My son has never said anything?" Zhao Erye, who has been an official for ten years, has the greatest ability to develop is to pretend to be confused.

"He has a very strict mouth." Mr. Zhang smiled faintly and said, "The emperor has already let go. After the wedding, Bugu can go back to his hometown to bury his father."

"Ah, that's how it's not easy for a family in-laws." Zhao Liben continued to imagine Zhang Juzheng as his father, and his eyes were red again, "I told them that you don't want to take love, but the emperor won't let you go, but those people are just not thinking about your husband's favor..."

"It's good if my in-laws understand me." Zhang Xianggong felt warm. He knew that many people had found Zhao Shouzheng before, hoping that his in-laws would persuade him. However, they were rejected by Mr. Zhao, and he also advised the young officials to study more and not rashly express their opinions on the government.

After reading the copy of the newspaper from Dongchang, Zhang Juzheng was still very kind, so he was so polite to Zhao Shouzheng.

The two of them sighed for a while, and Zhao Shouzheng asked, "I don't know what I can serve my in-laws? My husband told me to do whatever he wants to do in public affairs and private affairs."

"Oh?" Zhang Juzheng looked at him and said, "Remember that the in-laws are not usually deceiving, so why not just silent?"

"That's because I feel that my qualifications are too shallow, and I'm afraid that I will be embarrassed by the in-laws. Besides, I always feel that having a in-laws can be lazy." Zhao Shouzheng took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and spit out the turbid air and said:

"Now I see my in-laws like this, I know I am wrong." As he said that he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "It is said that brothers who fight tigers and father and son fight in battle. I have to stand up and share the worries of my in-laws!"

"Okay, very good..." Zhang Xianggong looked at Zhao Shouzheng's eyes deeply. A man in his forties and such a pure look was enough to say everything. He couldn't help but smile with emotion:
