It's just that he also knows that following the emperor's wishes and suggestions is a matter of labor and money, and it is something that only a traitor can do, not what a virtuous minister should do. However, to this day, is there any traitor and virtuous minister?

If he is squeezed out of the cabinet in the near future and returns to his hometown, Luo Xin will let him go?

If you don't get it right, it's a situation where your family is ruined.

Therefore, some traitors and virtuous ministers, officialdom only wins and loses!

The winner is the prince and the loser!

In just an instant, Xu Jie figured everything out. Immediately no longer hesitated, stepped forward, and bowed his hand:

"Your Majesty is angry!"

Emperor Jiajing glared at Xu Jie, and shouted in a condensed voice: "What? Do you want me to live in Ouchi too? ”

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare." As the so-called lord worries about the humiliation of the minister, if His Majesty can't even have a place to live, it is the fault of the minister. ”

Emperor Jiajing's heart was a little smoother, but his tone was still gloomy: "Then where do you say I live?" ”

"The minister just estimated that now because of the city, although the finances of the Ming Dynasty are not rich, they are no longer stretched. It can still squeeze out some silver and rebuild the Yuxi Palace. Moreover, now that there are tens of thousands of craftsmen who are repairing the three major halls, they can be asked to suspend the repair of the three major halls, and first rebuild the Yuxi Palace with the materials for His Majesty. It is estimated that it will be completed within four months. His Majesty only needs to temporarily live in the side hall for four months before he can live in the new Yuxi Palace. ”

After hearing what Xu Jie, Emperor Jiajing immediately became happy. But he still asked, "Can it really be completed in four months?" ”

Xu Jiezhi nodded and said: "The most time-consuming thing for building a palace is to transport all kinds of materials from all over the country to the capital. And now we can first pull the materials of the three major halls over, and then collect materials from all over the place to complete the three major halls. Therefore, the time saved for transporting materials is four months at most, and faster, three months, His Majesty will be able to live in the new Yuxi Palace. ”

Emperor Jiajing reacted at this time, and he could use the materials of the three major halls first. Anyway, when the Yuxi Palace is rebuilt, the renovation of the three major halls must also be stopped. Waiting for the completion of the reconstruction of Yuxi Palace, the materials for repairing the three major halls have already been shipped. couldn't help patting Xu Jie's shoulder happily and said:

"Good! Good! Zisheng, you are really my virtuous minister. I still can't live without you! ”

Xu Jie's heart immediately became excited, Emperor Jiajing said that he couldn't do without him, what did this mean? This is Emperor Jiajing's grace to him again. His first step had been achieved, and the next step was to spread the influence and let the officials of the court gather around him once again. With an excited look on his face, the muscles on his face trembled a little, and he saluted Emperor Jiajing:

"Wechen is terrified."

Emperor Jiajing patted Xu Jie's shoulder again, and then said to Huang Jin: "Huang Companion, the intention is to be done." ”

Huang Jin hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to bring a small table, spread the blank holy decree with his own hands, and waited with a pen, when he heard Emperor Jiajing condensed and said:

"Xu Jie, a university scholar, is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, and is a model of a hundred officials. Tejin is a young master and a young master, and he is given a python robe. ”

Huang Jin immediately wrote the holy decree, and then handed it to Emperor Jiajing, who used the seal after the imperial reading. looked at Xu Jie with a smile. Xu Jie was flattered, and immediately knelt on the ground, and the mountain shouted long live. For a few months, a restless heart finally settled down. And at this time, I heard Emperor Jiajing's voice again:

"Zisheng, I remember, your eldest son is an official in the capital, right?"

"Yes!" Xu Jie'an was in ecstasy in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "Does Your Majesty still want to promote my son?" ”

Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly and thought for a while: "I can't remember what official he is." ”

Xu Jie immediately said: "By the grace of Your Majesty, the dog Ziyin has obtained an official position and works in Taichang Temple. ”

"Hmm!" Emperor Jiajing nodded, and then asked, "How old is it?" ”

"Thirty-eight." Xu Jie said immediately.

"Hmm!" Emperor Jiajing nodded and said, "You can be on your own, and you have experienced it." ”

Xu Jie's heart was ecstatic, and he looked at Emperor Jiajing expectantly, and heard Emperor Jiajing say to Huang Jin: "Promote Xu Fan to be the head of the Ministry of Works, and be fully responsible for the rebuilding of Yuxi Palace." ”

Gao Gong was already pale with anger beside him, and he knew that because of his uprightness, Xu Jie had won back the favor of Emperor Jiajing. In the future, it will be difficult for him to suppress Xu Jie in the cabinet. However, in order to compete for favor, Xu Jie paid Daming's finances, and now Daming has a little money, but there are more places to use money. However, he could not object.

Although he is upright, he is not stupid. knew that at this time, if he didn't let the Yuxi Palace be built, he really wouldn't have the wisdom to be an official. I can't sit down in the cabinet anymore. Therefore, he has been standing aside with a gloomy face and is silent. However, then Emperor Jiajing promoted Xu Jiejie to a teacher and a young master, and gave him a python robe. This really made Gao Gong jealous. But this is not over yet, the son who has been promoted to Xu Jie's is in charge of rebuilding Yuxi Palace, which is obviously to give Xu Jie's benefits and subsidize the loss of the previous city division.

This is too much!

Gao Gong immediately couldn't help it, took a step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed!" ”

Emperor Jiajing's smiling face became gloomy again, and he squinted at Gao Gong and said, "Why not?" ”

"Your Majesty, that Xu Fan is not from the imperial examination, but just a shadow official. He has never been in charge of a project, how can such a large project be entrusted to him? ”

"No one is born with it, so how can it be if you don't experience it?" Emperor Jiajing said lightly, and then glanced at Xu Jiedao:

"Even if Xu Fan doesn't understand anything, he can ask Xu Jie, can Xu Jie, will Xu Jie still hide it from his son?"

"Weichen Dai, Dog, Your Majesty Longen." Xu Jie knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.

"Get up!" Emperor Jiajing actually stretched out his hand to help him.

If the uninformed people see all this, this scene of the monarch and the minister getting along will make people sigh. But standing on the side of the high arch, the heart is like frozen. He realized that he had turned over Xu Jie, an old fox, again.

Now that Luo Xin has been arrested and put in prison, he has lost an ally. Xu Jie, who originally thought it was twilight, turned over again. This made Gao Gong's heart full of nervousness, and even a hint of fear. The whole person was in a trance, and his body couldn't help but stumble.

Emperor Jiajing glanced at Gao Gong and said lightly: "Gao Qing is not feeling well, so go back and rest for a few days." ”

Gao Gong's heart was cold, this Emperor Jiajing was really old and confused. However, at this time, Gao Gong was also disheartened and retired to Emperor Jiajing.
