The sandalwood in the temple is curling, and there is a good fragrance here.

Although Jiajing hoped that the courtiers below would check and balance each other, he would feel a burst of irritability when he heard that the courtiers below were arguing a lot. Seeing that Xu Jie and Lin Haoran were tense again, he said lightly: "Lin Aiqing, if you don't use that batch of dirty silver, can the household department have a way to solve the expenses of Zhen Nanxing?" ”

Yan Ne looked at the emperor or leaned towards Xu Jie, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, looking at Lin Haoran gloatingly.

Lin Haoran hesitated for a moment, but responded helplessly: "Back to the emperor, the household department must cut or suspend some unnecessary expenses, and even suspend the distribution of some Zongfan Lu rice, and the emperor must also cut some unnecessary pomp and circumstance on this trip, otherwise it may be difficult to make this trip!" ”

"I don't need such bells and whistles, I just want to go back to Chengtian and take a look, you can boldly come up with a feasible plan!" When Jiajing saw Lin Haoran say this, he responded with a big wave of his hand.

This is indeed what he said in his heart, if he really cared so much about pomp, he would not have not been in the early dynasty for more than 20 years, but would have been wearing ordinary Taoist robes all year round and hiding in Xiyuan to cultivate Xuan.

As for Lin Haoran's reduction plan, he is also very clear about the situation of the household department. If these cuts were not made, with Daming's current poor finances, it would indeed be impossible for the household department to support his huge expenses this time.

Now Lin Haoran can put forward such a plan, which proves that Lin Haoran is the most capable household secretary since he ascended the throne, and he is also a courtier who is very loyal to him.

Compared with the two, it was Xu Jie, who had always been obedient, who made him feel disappointed, and his ability to do things was far inferior to the resourceful Lin Haoran.

"Your Majesty, it is not only a matter of money at the moment, but also the three major battalions have been weak over the years, but Huguang has been plagued by bandits in recent years, and the danger is very high. In addition, the emperor is now in poor condition and should not travel far, please think twice! Although Xu Jie knew that Jiajing was afraid that he would not like it in his heart, he still continued to dissuade him.

Hey?

Lin Haoran turned his head to look at Xu Jie thoughtfully, in fact, he didn't really want to help Jiajing Nan Xingchengtian, it was more of a temptation for Xu Jie.

It's just that he saw Xu Jie's repeated anxious stand up to dissuade him, which made him faintly smell something different.

The construction of the Chengtian Emperor's Palace can be described as the power of the whole country, and this Shoufu didn't even let out a fart; The project budget for the reconstruction of the Xianling Grace Hall was 730,000 taels, and the first assistant did not object; At that time, Yan Song was reluctant to rebuild the Wanshou Palace, but he took over this project to please the emperor.

But this time, Jiajing was willing to accept Nan Xingchengtian, who spent the least, and even Xu Jie's stolen money could be used by the Yan family, but Xu Jie, who had always regarded himself as a loyal minister, was so firmly opposed.

In addition, once Jiajing is really Nan Xingchengtian? So Xu Jie, the first assistant, must have been arranged to stay in the capital? It is even possible to take the opportunity to raise the supervision of King Yu, which is already an excellent opportunity to increase political bargaining chips.

Precisely out of a political sensitivity? Lin Haoran faintly felt that there was a lot of fame here? Behind Xu Jie's dissuasion, I am afraid that there are some things that are not visible.

Of course, you can't generalize about anything. It is also possible that Xu Jie thought that this was a temptation by Jiajing for him, so he opposed it so firmly.

The so-called politics? It's about "making bold assumptions? Be careful to verify".

"What Lord Yuanfu said is extremely true, please think twice!" Yan Ne and Li Chunfang were already on the same front with Xu Jie, but they chose to follow Xu Jie's dissuasion.

Wu Shan's brows furrowed slightly, but he also continued to dissuade: "Is the emperor's dragon body sick?" And how expensive is this trip? The minister also implored the emperor to think twice! ”

Huang Jin saw that the opinions of the four ministers were still consistent, and couldn't help but look at Jiajing worriedly.

This matter can't be said to be disloyal to Xu Jie, after all, it is a fact that the emperor's dragon body is sick, and it is also a fact that there are many bandits in Huguang, and these four ministers are not a kind of "bitter medicine" loyalty.

Jiajing gritted his teeth? Just as I was about to say something angrily, I suddenly felt a headache in my head? He immediately looked in pain.

Huang Jin has been observing the emperor, and when he saw this, he hurriedly pounced on it to help press the acupoint.

Jiajing pressed his temple hard? But he waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm tired, so I'm here for the time being?" Stand down, all of you! ”

"Resignation? Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Xu Jie seemed to sigh secretly? He bowed respectfully and withdrew.

When the group walked out of the palace gate, Xu Jie's face no longer had a harmonious and amiable smile, as if he didn't know Lin Haoran, so he went straight in the direction of Wuyi Palace.

Yan Ne and Li Chunfang seemed to want to get to know Lin Haoran again, but they had never seen Xu Jie so embarrassed, so they glanced at Lin Haoran complicatedly before leaving with Xu Jie.

Wu Shan smiled helplessly, but turned his head to Lin Haoran and sighed softly: "From now on, I'm afraid that there will be no better face for you over there!" ”

"We're not all the way, so why bother all day long! If I hadn't torn my face this time, he would have calculated against me in the future, and some things would have been better spread out! Lin Haoran looked at Xu Jie and the other three who were walking away, and looked disapproving.

Although officialdom has always paid attention to harmony with light, especially for them in the south, it is more advantageous for Lin Haoran to be open now.

Wu Shan was worried about Hai Rui's safety, so he asked: "Ruo Yu, what do you think the emperor will do with Hai Rui?" ”

"Hai Rui seems to slander the monarch's father, but he also shows enough loyalty to Daming, especially since he is a head of the household from a high background, there is no need to do this kind of political speculation, so the emperor will not easily kill Hai Rui!" Lin Haoran had seriously discussed Hai Rui's safety with Sun Jixiang and Wang Zhideng, but he had a strong sense of confidence.

Wu Shan nodded lightly, but still sighed and said: "Although the emperor will not kill Hai Rui, he can't escape this prison, I hope he can hold on, don't be like Hu ...... Ay! ”

"Hai Rui caused such a big movement, Xu Jie is a person who cherishes his reputation, and he should not do anything inappropriate! And Hai Rui is a small official after all, even if Hai Jui can survive in the future, the dignified Shoufu Lord naturally will not think that Hai Jui will be able to threaten him in the future! Lin Haoran knew that his father-in-law was worried that Hai Rui would be killed in prison, but he shook his head and responded with certainty.

While the two were talking, they had reached the fork in the road of the palace.

Lin Haoran watched Wu Shan leave, but found that his father-in-law seemed to be a little older, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then walked towards the palace gate of Xiyuan.

With the different mood when he came in every time, this departure always gave him a sense of relief.

Now that he has torn his face with Xu Jie, and has the emperor's statement of promulgating a new policy, Xu Jie will definitely not dare to blatantly obstruct him anymore, and his Diao Min's register and the change of grain to silver should be able to be implemented smoothly.

When he walked out of the gate of the West Garden, the clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the entire square in front of the palace was shrouded in spring light.

Lin Haoran exhaled a light breath of turbidity, and stepped into the spring light in front of him, hoping to change this decaying Ming Dynasty through his unremitting efforts.
