Of course, he was also angry that Hu Zongxian was not angry, and gave him a lot of silver, but he couldn't even go to sea to fight pirates. He was really disappointed in Xu Jie's heart, it seemed that it was impossible to point to Xu Jie's solution to the mess now, although in the matter of rebuilding Yuxi Palace, he didn't like high arches, but he couldn't take care of it at this time, so he said to Huang Jin:

"Go, call Xu Jie and Gao Gong."

At this time, it was already noon. Xu Jie walked out of the duty room and was about to go out to have some food, and as soon as he went out, he saw Gao Gong also coming out of the duty room, so he said with a smile:

"Tall, eat?"

Gao Gong also had a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Together?" ”

Of course, Xu Jie was not to be outdone, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

The two of them walked side by side towards the outside of Beiyuan, and Xu Jie asked lightly, "I heard that Lord Gao went to ask to see Your Majesty?" See? ”

A trace of anger flashed in Gao Gong's eyes, and he instantly regained his composure and said, "I didn't see it." ”

Xu Jie laughed silently, and then said lightly: "Master Gao, don't worry too much, it's not good for your health, hehe......"

"Alas......" Gao Gong didn't get angry, but sighed and said, "I just don't want anyone to mess with the country." ”

"You ......" Xu Jie, who was smiling, suddenly darkened his face.

Gao Gong is also not polite, although he and Xu Jie were political enemies in the past, and he also had complaints about Xu Jie's character, but in general, he still felt that Xu Jie was not a traitor, and he was much better than Yan Song. However, this ignored the Ming Dynasty's rebuilding of the Yuxi Palace, and then because of a series of events caused by the Yuxi Palace, Gao Gong was very disappointed in Xu Jie. A face also pulled down and said:

"What? Am I not right? If the Yuxi Palace is not rebuilt, even if there are displaced people, with the silver needed to rebuild the Yuxi Palace, there will be no rogue at all. Now that the rogues are everywhere, the Ming Dynasty has been in chaos, it's not that you are messing up the country in order to flatter Your Majesty, what is it? ”

Xu Jie said in a deep voice: "What you said is not a fundamental problem at all. ”

"It's not a problem at all, it's just a minor problem. The big problem is that there are pirates on the sea, and the big problem is the city shipping department. May I ask Lord Gao, does the City Bo Division have anything to do with the rebuilding of Yuxi Palace? Does it have anything to do with the rogue? ”

"You still don't admit that you are messing with the country!" Gao Gong said with a black face: "How many years has Daming had a city?" Before there was no city division, was Daming so chaotic like now? A good Ming was made such a mess by you, and he didn't have the ability to solve the problem of the city, Zhang Juzheng came back, and he dared to hide it and not report it, but he only knew that he was flattering Your Majesty, what are you not a chaotic country?

Even when Yan Song was in power, Da Ming had never been so chaotic, I think you are not even as good as Yan Song. ”

The two top officials of the Ming Dynasty paused and glared at each other angrily. The little eunuch on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Two adults, Your Majesty is still waiting!"

"Humph!" Gao Gong flicked the sleeves of his robe fiercely and strode away.

Xu Jie glared at Gao Gong's back fiercely, and also walked away. It's just that his face is even more gloomy. There was uneasiness in his eyes. He is not a stupid person, this time Emperor Jiajing summoned Gao Gong, which means that Gao Gong, a salted fish, began to turn over, and his favor began to decline. Unless he has a way to solve all the problems now, I'm afraid that Gao Gong will be resurrected.

"No! Absolutely not. You can't let the high arch turn over. Xu Jie gritted his teeth and walked towards the side hall.

The two of them walked into the side hall and met Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing pointed to Hu Zongxian's fold on the imperial book case, and Huang Jin immediately picked up the fold and handed it to Xu Jie. After reading it, Xu Jie's expression didn't change much.

"Your Majesty......"

"Show the high arch." Emperor Jiajing lightly interrupted Xu Jie's words.

Xu Jie quietly handed Hu Zongxian's fold to Gao Gong, who quickly finished reading it, and there was no anger on his face, but his brows were tightly locked, and his face was full of worry.

"Xu Jie!" At this time, Emperor Jiajing spoke: "This is your way to solve the problem for me and for the Ming Dynasty?" Are you solving the problem or passing the buck? If you sit in the position of head of the cabinet, you must have the ability to solve problems, and if you don't have that ability, you should not sit down. ”

Xu Jie's immobile expression finally changed, and he could see that Emperor Jiajing was really angry this time, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. Whispered:

"Your Majesty, it is ...... to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while"

"It depends on what kind of soldier it is!" Emperor Jiajing's voice raised significantly: "As the chief assistant of the cabinet, don't you know that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have no problems on the shore and are weak at sea?" Are you asking Hu Zongxian to encircle and suppress, or to send him to death? Now that it has been all over the place, it has been so many days, and the army that went out to encircle and suppress has not yet been opened, if Hu Zongxian is defeated again at sea, are you going to bury the Ming Dynasty? ”

"The old minister is guilty!" Xu Jie knelt down with a puff.

Emperor Jiajing's chest rose and fell for a while, and then he looked at Gao Gong and said, "Do you have a good plan?" ”

Gao Gong said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the matter of the Southeast Wokou can be put aside for a while, after all, they did not invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and what they affected was only the maritime trade of the City Shipping Division." In the past, we didn't have a city company, and although life was embarrassing, we lived like this, and it was not as chaotic as it is now.

As His Majesty said, there are now many wanderers everywhere, and there are more victims. If we can't immediately provide a large amount of disaster relief, and then quickly exterminate the Liukou, the Liukou will further expand, forming a rolling torrent, endangering the Ming Dynasty, which is the most important thing now. ”

Emperor Jiajing's face was very ugly, but in the end he had to nod.

"Go on!"

"Immediate all-round disaster relief, and the army immediately suppresses bandits." After Gao Gong finished speaking, he closed his mouth.

Emperor Jiajing's gaze roamed back and forth between Xu Jieyao and Gao Gong's body, and finally looked at Gao Gongdao:

"Disaster relief and bandit suppression are now up to you."

"Your Majesty, the minister can't do it." Gao Gong said in a deep voice.

"Can't do it?" Emperor Jiajing's voice suddenly rose again: "I can't do anything, what do I want you to do?" ”

Gao Gong knelt down, silently took off his black gauze hat, and put it beside him. Xu Jie's eyes shrank on the side, and his expression became even more gloomy. Emperor Jiajing looked at Gao Gong's movements, and his face was extremely gloomy and said:

"What? Is this a resignation? ”

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. In today's situation, no one can save Daming without money. ”

Emperor Jiajing took a bite and said, "I really don't want to rebuild Yuxi Palace." ”

"It's too late!" Gao Gong closed his eyes in pain.

"Xu Jie?" Emperor Jiajing glared at Xu Jie.

"Your Majesty......" Xu Jie said with a sweat on his head: "Most of the silver in the treasury has been replaced with materials, and there is not much money." Originally, I was counting on the silver of the city to come and be able to close the gap, but who knows......"
