Princess Yongfu's beautiful eyes stared at Xu Jin without blinking, her pink fists clenched slightly, she desperately wanted to know the answer.

Xu Jin frowned and was silent.

Since talking with his mentor Fei Hong that night, he suddenly realized that his energy had unconsciously become so great that the ministers were afraid of him, coupled with the attacks and calculations of many forces at the court meeting, as well as the strangeness shown in Jiajing's attitude, so he decisively chose to delegate power, retreated to the second line to avoid the limelight temporarily, and even did not hesitate to use Ori Shin Meizi to discredit himself and resign from the false title of Taibao.

Therefore, coveting the dukedom of the country and greedy for pleasure is exactly the image that Xu Jin wants to establish, so that those officials who are full of food and support will not stare at him, and Shoufu Jin Xianmin will not continue to target him. As for the old Wuxun group, they have suffered too much from Xu Jin, and they regard it as a thorn in the flesh, so no matter whether Xu Jin lets go of power or not, they will continue to stare at Xu Jin to death, and if Xu Jin is unlucky one day, they will still fall into the well without hesitation. However, in comparison, it is much easier to be stared at by the old martial arts group, which is probably the so-called taking a step back and opening up the sky, and sometimes, retreating is actually a kind of advancement.

There is no doubt that Xu Jin's strategy is very successful, and even Princess Yongfu in Xiuwai Hui seems to have been deceived by him, so at this time, he asked Xu Jin a little hateful and steel.

Xu Jin remained silent, and Princess Yongfu kept staring at him, obviously if the former did not answer, she would not give up.

Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't tell Princess Yongfu that he chose to retreat bravely because he was worried about his high merits, because this was tantamount to showing that he was worried about Jiajing's tolerance. In a feudal society where imperial power is supreme, this is also a big rebellion, even if you are really worried, you can't show it, let alone say it.

However, being misunderstood by Princess Yongfu like this, Xu Jin was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, and hesitated for a moment before he said lightly: "Biri, the envoy sent by Tatar Kuden Khan (Da Lai Xun) will come to the capital, and the emperor has ordered his ministers to be responsible for receiving him." ”

Princess Yongfu's beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded and said, "I understand!" ”

This is the difference between a smart person and a fool, Princess Yongfu is undoubtedly a smart person, although Xu Jin's answer is not the right one, she still understands it at once!

As we all know, Tatar is a big problem in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Jin said that he will be responsible for receiving the envoys sent by Da Zhixun, that is, he is telling Princess Yongfu that he is not greedy for pleasure and does not want to serve the country, on the contrary, he has always paid attention to national affairs, and even connected with such an important matter as the Tatar envoys are handled by himself!

I saw Princess Yongfu bow her head and continue to herself: "In this way, the Duke of Yasukuni is also deliberately defiling himself by letting loose the wreckage in the Sifang Pavilion? ”

"This ......" Xu Jin's face was slightly embarrassed, sometimes it is a headache to talk to smart people, especially smart women.

Seeing this, Princess Yongfu confirmed her guess, her lips curled up slightly, and she bloomed into a dazzling smile, and said in a low voice: "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and it is very wise for the Yasukuni Gong to retreat bravely, but the behavior in the Sifang Pavilion is a bit of a snake, you must know that the emperor is very smart." ”

Xu Jin was shocked, yes, Princess Yongfu could see that she was deliberately defiling herself, could this kid Jiajing not be able to see it?

In fact, Jiajing did see it, but this kid was ashamed of himself, so he naturally didn't blame Xu Jin for being cautious, so he kept pretending to be confused, and even cooperated with Xu Jin to act in a play.

Princess Yongfu saw Xu Jin's face "surprised", and hurriedly comforted softly: "The emperor regards the county lord of Yongxiu as his own sister, and he also favors the grandfather of Yasukuni, since he has allowed you to resign from the post of Taibao, he naturally will not blame you." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, and secretly woke up after he couldn't be smart anymore, Jiajing in history inherited the throne as a vassal king at the age of fourteen, and had no foundation in the court, but finally squeezed out Yang Tinghe step by step, becoming a real thunderous emperor, he firmly controlled the government for more than 40 years, even Zhang Xuan, Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, these cattle are honestly driven by him, and none of the harem eunuchs can take the lead, how can this kind of person be an idle person?

Jiajing is undoubtedly extremely smart, as he gets older, the longer he stays, his political skills will only become more and more perfect, playing tricks in front of him, you still have to be leisurely, you treat him as a fool, I'm afraid you will find out that you are a fool in the end.

Fortunately, Xu Jin never thought of controlling Jiajing, and he had no other thoughts, his goal when he first arrived in Daming was to be a rich man and wait for death, and later the goal became "great", that is, to pass the imperial examination and become a county master, and eat freely and wait for death; The later experience made Xu Jin's goal truly great, he wanted an unprecedentedly rich and powerful Ming!

Fortunately, the current Jiajing is equivalent to the semi-finished product shaped by Xu Jin himself, their goal direction is the same, and Xu Jin also set a very lofty goal for Jiajing, according to the life span of a normal person, it is impossible to complete it in a lifetime.

Therefore, Xu Jin is sure that he can have the same goal as Jiajing for the rest of his life, and the two brothers will strive towards a common goal throughout their lives.

Xu Jin looked at Princess Yongfu and said deeply: "Thank you for the reminder of Yongfu Jushi!" ”

Princess Yongfu took off the fence on her head, revealing her delicate face, put the plum blossom under her nose and sniffed it lightly, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Lao Guo built a Taoist temple for Yongfu, and Yongfu should thank Grandpa Guo, let's continue shopping." ”

As she spoke, Princess Yongfu walked briskly forward, and even bent down when she passed a flower pond and playfully stirred the water with the plum blossom branch in her hand.

Xu Jin couldn't help but breathe tightly, it is estimated that it is because of the perennial practice of yoga, Princess Yongfu's figure is so wonderful, especially the moment she bends over, the curve is exposed, if she wears the tight-fitting gym clothes of the future......

Xu Jin hurriedly looked away from the beautiful thoughts in his mind, and then Princess Yongfu just turned around and said, "Let's increase this pool tenfold, plant lotus flowers, and build a lake pavilion!" ”

Xu Jin estimated that the pool in front of him was more than ten square meters, which was not small, and if it was expanded ten times, then this courtyard and the yard next door would have to be demolished.

"Yongfu Jushi, wouldn't it be too big to expand tenfold? The whole yard has to be torn down! Xu Jin reminded.

Princess Yongfu pursed her lips and smiled: "Demolition is demolished, anyway, there are so many houses, I can't live alone, it is better to build a big lake, it is good to enjoy the shade in summer, Cining Garden also has a big lotus lake, I like to spend time in the lake pavilion in the summer, by the way, plant willow trees by the lake." ”

"Uh, okay!" Xu Jin could only record it silently.

Princess Yongfu was obviously a lot more excited, and her mood was high, pointing all the way, building a flower garden here, building a small pavilion there, making a rockery here, and digging a fishing pond there.

Xu Jin is no longer able to complain, is this to build a Taoist temple or a holiday courtyard? Yongfu monk, what kind of cultivation are you, you are clearly enjoying life!

It took more than an hour to finally finish the whole house, Xu Jin also wrote down several pages with charcoal, and when Princess Yongfu learned that she had finished shopping, she was still unsatisfied.

"Dare to ask if there is anything else Yongfu Lay would like to add?" Xu Jin subconsciously stomped his numb legs, he really didn't understand, she was obviously a delicate little woman, and her endurance was so amazing once she went shopping.

Princess Yongfu glanced at the pages of paper in Xu Jin's hand, shook her head a little embarrassed and said, "No, there is Lao Jingguogong." ”

Princess Yongchun next to her had already been a little impatient, and when she heard this, she cheered and said, "Finally finished reading, let's go, go to the opposite house to eat, everyone is dying of hunger." ”

Princess Yongfu's pretty face was slightly red, and she glanced at her sister and said, "Didn't you bring pastries?" ”

Princess Yongchun pouted: "It's already eaten up!" ”

Xu Jin smiled and said: "I have already sent someone to inform Xiaowan to prepare a meal, and the two princesses will not dislike it, so please come to the house to eat." ”

Princess Yongchun suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's still Xu Jin, you are thoughtful, Sister Yongfu, let's go, anyway, everyone will be neighbors in the future, and you can invite Sister Xiaowan and them when you go back." ”

After Princess Yongchun finished speaking, she couldn't help but pick up Princess Yongfu and walk outside, the latter was blushing, but she was helpless. In fact, Princess Yongfu and Xie Xiaowan are very familiar with each other, and it is not the first time they have eaten in Xu's Mansion, but this time it is a bit special, and the "cultivation" is cultivated to the door of other people's homes, so their hearts are empty!
