Mingshi

Chapter 1074
However, he also knew that his suggestion following the emperor's will was a waste of money and people, something only a treacherous minister could do, not something a virtuous minister should do.But, now, is there any distinction between treacherous and virtuous officials?
If he was squeezed out of the cabinet in the near future and returned home, would Luo Xin let him go?

If it is not done well, it will be a situation where the family is broken.

Therefore, for some treacherous and virtuous officials, the only winners and losers in the officialdom!

The winner is the prince and the loser is the bandit!

In just an instant, Xu Jie wanted to understand everything.Immediately without hesitation, he took a step forward, cupped his hands and saluted:
"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Emperor Jiajing glared at Xu Jie, and shouted, "Why? You also want me to live in Da Nei?"

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "I dare not. As the saying goes, the master is worried about the humiliation of the minister. If your majesty can't even feel comfortable with a place to live, it's all the minister's fault."

Emperor Jiajing calmed down a bit, but his tone was still gloomy: "Then where do you want me to live?"

"I have just estimated that now because of the Shibosi, although Daming's finances are not rich, they are no longer stretched. Instead, they can squeeze out some money to rebuild the Yuxi Palace. Moreover, tens of thousands of craftsmen are currently working on The renovation of the three main halls can allow them to suspend the repair of the three main halls, and first use the materials for repairing the three main halls to rebuild the Yuxi Palace for His Majesty. It is estimated that it will be completed within four months. Your Majesty only needs to temporarily live in the side hall for four months, and then you can live Entering the new Yuxi Palace."

After hearing Xu Jie's words, Emperor Jiajing immediately became happy.However, he still asked: "Can it really be completed in four months?"

Xu Jie nodded firmly and said: "The most time-consuming thing to build a palace is to transport all kinds of materials from all over the country to the capital. Now we can bring the materials for the three halls first, and then collect materials from various places to complete the three halls. Therefore, It saves the time to transport materials, up to four months, faster, three months, and His Majesty will be able to live in the new Yuxi Palace."

Only then did Emperor Jiajing realize that he could use the materials from the three halls first.Anyway, when the Yuxi Palace is being rebuilt, the renovation of the three halls will also stop.Waiting for the reconstruction of Yuxi Palace to be completed, the materials for repairing the three main halls have already arrived.Can't help but patted Xu Jie's shoulder happily and said:
"Good! Good! Zisheng, you are really my virtuous minister. I still can't do without you!"

Xu Jie's heart immediately became agitated. Emperor Jiajing said that he could not do without him. What does this mean?This is the return of Emperor Jiajing's favor to him.His first goal has been achieved, and the next step is to spread this influence and let the officials of the court gather around him again.With an excited expression on his face, the muscles on his face trembled a little, and he saluted Emperor Jiajing:

"Wei Chen is frightened."

Emperor Jiajing patted Xu Jie's shoulder again, and then said to Huang Jin, "Huang Banban, draw up an order."

Huang Jin hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to bring a small table, spread the blank imperial decree with his own hands, and waited with a pen in hand, when Emperor Jiajing said in a concentrated voice:

"Graduate scholar Xu Jie, loyal to the emperor and loving the people, a model for all officials. He is specially promoted as a young teacher and a young tutor, and he is given a boa robe."

Huang Jin immediately wrote the imperial decree, and then handed it to Emperor Jiajing, who would seal it after Emperor Jiajing read it.He looked at Xu Jie with a smile.Xu Jie was so flattered that he immediately fell to his knees and shouted long live.After several months, a restless heart finally settled down.And at this moment, Emperor Jiajing's voice was heard again:

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

"Yes!" Xu Jie looked at the 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 kind of official he is."

Xu Jie immediately interjected, "Thanks to His Majesty's grace, Quan Ziyin got an official position and worked in Taichang Temple."

"En!" Emperor Jiajing nodded, and then asked, "How old are you?"

"38." Xu Jie said immediately.

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

Xu Jie was ecstatic in his heart, looking at Emperor Jiajing expectantly, and heard Emperor Jiajing say to Huang Jin: "Promote Xu Fan to be the head of the Ministry of Industry, and take full charge of the reconstruction of Yuxi Palace."

Gao Gong was already pale with anger, he knew that because of his uprightness, Xu Jie had regained 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. Now Daming has a little money, but there are more places to use the money.However, he still couldn't object.

Although he is straightforward, he is not stupid.I know that at this time, if I don't allow the construction of Yuxi Palace, I really don't have the wisdom to be an official.I can't sit in the cabinet anymore.Therefore, he has been standing on the side with a gloomy face and saying nothing.However, Emperor Jiajing then promoted Xu Jie to be a teacher and a young master, and gave him a boa robe.This really made Gao Gong jealous.But this is not over yet, and Xu Jie's son was promoted to be in charge of rebuilding the Yuxi Palace. This is obviously to benefit Xu Jie and subsidize the loss of the former Shibo Department.

This is too much!
Immediately Gao Gong couldn't bear it any longer, took a step forward, and saluted: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Emperor Jiajing's smiling face turned gloomy again, he squinted his eyes and looked at Gao Gong and said, "Why not?"

"Your Majesty, Xu Fan didn't come from the official imperial examinations, but just an official. He has never been in charge of a project, how can he entrust such a large project?"

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

"Even if Xu Fan doesn't understand something, he can ask Xu Jie for advice. Could it be that Xu Jie still keeps secrets from his son?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of the dog." 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, the scene of the monarch and his ministers meeting each other will make people sigh.But Gao Gong, who was standing aside, felt as if his heart was frozen.He realized that Xu Jie, the old fox, had turned around again.

Now that Luo Xin is in prison, he has lost an ally.Xu Jie, who originally thought that the sun was setting in the west, turned around again.This made Gao Gong's heart full of tension, even a little bit of fear.The whole person was in a trance, and his figure couldn't help but staggered.

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 felt cold, this Emperor Jiajing was really confused.However, at this time Gao Gong was also disheartened, and bowed to Emperor Jiajing to retire.
