Chapter 504: Attack and Defend in the Imperial Court

Xu Jie's teeth were about to be crushed secretly, long live, are you talking about human words? You said as if it was a matter of course for Xiao Feng to come back to life!

Xiao Feng was likely to fake his death last time, and this kind of fake death has not happened before, but he has been suspended for a longer time.

Can it be the same this time? Everyone is watching, Xiao Feng has been struck by lightning! Will he ever come back to life?

But Jiajing has already ordered that Xu Jie cannot openly oppose it, and can only secretly scold Liu Tong. However, Xu Jie naturally didn't just prepare this move, he immediately went to his goal from another way.

Xu Jie said in a deep voice: "Long live, but there are too many things for the cabinet to be busy with, when Xiao Feng is here, he is already overstretched, and in Xiao Feng's absence, the task is even heavier."

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the reform of the imperial examination system, the reconstruction of the Daming Water Division, and the defense against the rebellion in Miaojiang were all responsible for Xiao Feng, but now they must be shared by the cabinet!

Therefore, the minister suggested that there should be priorities, and at present, it is just that the most urgent is the rebellion of agriculture and Miaojiang, and as for the reconstruction of the sailor division and the reform of the imperial examination system, it may as well be delayed. ”

Zhang Juzheng's heart trembled, knowing that Xu Jie's move was powerful. As always, Xu Jie's reasons are unassailable, but the purpose is deeply hidden.

The reform of the imperial examination system is the biggest threat to the Ming scholars that Xu Jie believes is also something that Xiao Feng is fully promoting. As long as this matter is slowed down, there will be no chance of restarting.

Xu Jie and the civil officials led by him will never let this matter be brought up again, and it is impossible for Daming to have a weighty figure like Xiao Feng who can persuade Jiajing to do this.

As for the Daming Water Division, Xu Jie is in favor of rebuilding, but the time and place are not right now. It's not that it's wrong for Da Ming, it's not right for Xu Jie.

Now that the Daming Naval Division has been rebuilt, the shipyard and the source of soldiers are set in Jiangnan, and Hu Zongxian is Xiao Feng's person, and he is also ready to move after Xiao Feng's death, and wants to be the successor of the leader of the Xiao Party.

Therefore, for Xu Jie, if this matter is slowed down, it can be arranged calmly. The first is to find a way to replace the governor of Jiangnan with his own people, so that the location of the shipyard and the source of troops does not have to change.

If Hu Zongxian is indeed difficult to shake, then Xu Jie will find a way to place the reconstruction site of the water division in Shandong. Anyway, Shandong also has an entrance to the sea, and Shandong people can also get on ships to fight.

In this way, the sailor has no half-dime relationship with the governor of Jiangnan, and is directly controlled by the imperial court, and the cards in Hu Zongxian's hand are missing King Zhang, how can he fight with himself?

Jiajing thought about it, although he knew that Xu Jie's two points must be selfish, but he was indeed right.

Xiao Feng is gone, and with so many things being pushed forward at the same time, the imperial court will definitely not be able to do it. It's also right to prioritize, you can't burn your eyebrows and worry about shaving.

But Jiajing will definitely not express his position easily, this fine tradition of throwing the pot cannot be said to be lost, so he closed his eyes slightly and slowly spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any thoughts, you might as well tell them all."

Gong Hui, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, was the first to stand up. As soon as Xiao Feng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is gone, he is the biggest official of the Ministry of Industry, and he must speak on behalf of the Ministry of Industry.

Second, Gong Hui was recommended by Xiao Feng from the position of the right waiter, and Xiao Feng's kindness made him feel that he had to maintain Xiao Feng's will.

Thirdly, Gong Hui is also a little selfish, Xiao Feng is gone, and there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Industry, so it stands to reason that his hope should be the greatest.

But at the beginning, he thought he was Xiao Feng's person, and when Xu Jiexiyuan petitioned to pray for rain, he didn't follow him, and naturally Xiao Feng was listed as "unworthy" to go to the Temple of Heaven to bask in the sun.

Therefore, Xu Jie's party will definitely not treat him as its own, Xu Jie, as the first assistant, will definitely arrange for Xu Dang's people to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Gong Hui felt that he was sixty-three years old, and instead of being angry with Xu Jie's gang in the future, it was better to work hard now and make achievements, as long as he became a scholar, no matter how glorious he was.

"Long live, when Lord Xiao was alive, he had been discussing the construction of the shipyard with his ministers in his busy schedule. Lord Xiao is a talented man with a lot of magical designs for shipbuilding.

The master craftsmen found by the WTO accession concept have also been participating in the discussion, and the plan has indeed matured. The minister also personally inspected Hangzhou, the foundation has been laid, and the dock has taken shape.

The governor of Jiangnan has also begun to recruit crews, who will be trained by Wang Zhi and Xu Hai. This has already begun, and it is moving very well.

If Lord Shoufu wants to postpone the reconstruction of the Naval Division at this time, it will inevitably lead to the abandonment of the shipyard and the disbandment of the soldiers, and it will be difficult to restart it again! Long live the second thought! ”

Jiajing was noncommittal, he knew that Xu Jie would definitely fight back. Sure enough, the right waiter of the Ministry of Engineering was Xu Jie's protΓ©gΓ©, and immediately stood up for the teacher.

"Lord Gong's words are wrong. Shoufu didn't say that the water division would not be rebuilt, but it was just suspended.

Now there are two fleets on the Daming Sea, General Wang Zhi and General Xu Hai, and the coastal self-preservation is more than enough.

Nowadays, there are many things that are anxious, not to mention anything else, just talking about the construction of water conservancy to help agriculture and farming, isn't it more urgent than rebuilding the water division? ”

Gong Hui dared to come forward, naturally he was also prepared, he immediately retorted.

"The Ministry of Industry is in charge of the world's construction, there is no time when you are not busy, is it not busy to do it?

As long as things are supposed to be done, and there are not enough people to find people, why stop the important things? ”

The right attendant retorted: "Lord Gong said lightly, the Ministry of Industry can recruit a limited number of people, and the master craftsmen are even more limited, is it so easy to find?" ”

Gong Hui was confident: "Master Xiao said that there are no less than 1,000 craftsmen of all kinds recruited by the WTO Entry Concept, and these people are enough for the current construction of the shipyard!" It's insufficient, and it's easy to recruit some more! ”

The right waiter thought of another trick: "Even if you can find someone, it will cost a lot of money to recruit people, and now you are using money everywhere, can you get it from the household?" ”

Pan Huang lowered his head in contemplation, he knew that he also had the label of Xiao Dang on his body to some extent, although he was not as distinct as Gong Hui, but Xu Jie would never turn a blind eye.

is reasonable, he should support Gong Hui. But he is a household secretary and has always been cautious.

The household department opened the mutual market from Xiao Feng and cracked down on the Japanese invaders, and only saved a little silver, if Gong Hui really opened his mouth, he was also very embarrassed.

Gong Hui didn't look at Pan Huang, but took out a piece of paper from his arms, his hands trembling slightly.

"Long live, this is the twist and turn that stayed in the Ministry of Industry after Lord Xiao beheaded Yan Shifan.

He said that if something happens to him one day, and someone wants to interrupt the construction of the water division, let me submit long live! ”

Jiajing opened his eyes unexpectedly, then nodded, and Huang Jin took it and handed it to Jiajing. Jiajing looked at it twice, was in a daze for a long time, and then sighed and asked Huang Jin to return it to Gong Hui.

"Gong Shilang, you read it out in court, and let all the officials listen to it.

At the beginning, Xiao Feng was also the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and there were still people privately discussing whether they would be greedy for money, which was really ridiculous! ”

Gong Hui picked up the fold and read it out loud: "Senior brother, when you see this fold, I don't expect to be alive. Last time I came back from the dead, I felt a lot of emotion.

The road is bumpy, people's hearts are changeable, flesh and blood are weak, and accidents are inevitable. If I die one day, I may not be able to come back again. There are just a few unfulfilled wishes.

First, if I die, I am afraid that the imperial court will retreat.

Half of the income from the concept of joining the WTO belongs to the imperial court, and half belongs to me and Zhang Tianci.

I am in charge, and I will use half of my two of them for the preparation of the Daming Water Division, and thousands of craftsmen recruited by the WTO Accession Concept from all over the country can also help.

Second, the matter of the technical and scientific examinations, I am afraid that this matter will be hindered even more.

The reconstruction of the sailor division may only be a dispute over time and place, but the technical and scientific examinations are a dispute between the official body and the country.

Thousands of craftsmen on the concept of joining the WTO are the foundation of the first scientific and technological examination. If my brother trusts me, he must not give up halfway.

Technology and science and technology, then Da Ming Xing, Da Ming Xing, then the country is prosperous! ”

Xu Jie listened in front of him, but he was only secretly frightened by Xiao Feng's prediction of the future situation, and when he heard this, the whole person almost jumped!

Xiao Feng! You bastard! You're so cold that you can throw expired carrots from the coffin in front of Banzai!

Jiajing really opened his eyes immediately, nodded again and again, and in Xu Jie's eyes, he unconsciously turned into a tongue sticking out.

"The junior brother is right! Daming Sailor, technical and scientific examinations, all can not be abolished. ”

Gong Hui was encouraged, and his chanting voice became louder: "As for the great drought and natural disasters, I have been prepared.

The drought is only in July and August, and it is too late to plant other grains in July and August, but the immortal vines can still be planted and harvested.

Coupled with the grain and fish purchased by Wang Zhi and Xu Hai's fleets, it can barely be supported.

If the heavens have mercy and rain falls early, the fairy vine can also be harvested as a second season. If the imperial court has surplus grain, it can take the opportunity to help Miaojiang, Kwantung, Mongolia and other places.

On the condition of relief, all localities were required to follow the example of Miao Jiang, enter the hall to study the imperial examination, and be included in the scope of the imperial court.

To seize people's territory, although you can use swords and soldiers, long-term peace and stability require cultural identity.

As for Xiao Qin's rebellion, it is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and it is difficult to become a big thing. Wen has Hai Rui, Wu has Hu Zongxian, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, and will definitely make the rebels restrain their hands.

pS: I hope you will never see this letter, brother. ”

After the recitation, the entire hall was as quiet as an empty mountain, and even the civil officials who firmly followed Xu Jie's head silently bowed their heads.

Xu Jie's mind is turning, he still has to work hard, Xiao Feng is dead, if he can't even fight against a dead person, how will he be in charge of Daming in the future?

"Long live, everything is done according to the time and situation, although Xiao Feng's planning is complete, he forgets that his own ability is outstanding, and others are difficult to reach.

If he does these things, it may be smooth, but if he leaves them to someone else to do, he is afraid that he will not become an anti-dog, so the minister still recommends that it be postponed.

Otherwise, my lords, who thinks that they can complete what Xiao Feng left behind, just ask. But there is one thing that I would like to keep in mind!

If it is done, you can get its merits, if it is not done, you will accept its own guilt!

You can't be ambitious and talented, waste food and salary, and harm the court. Ladies and gentlemen, do you dare to make this military order? ”

Jiajing's gaze swept towards the court, and the ministers looked at each other. What Xu Jie said is not unreasonable, the court has a lot of money, and what Xiao Feng can do well, you may not be able to do it well!

Governing a country cannot only be based on enthusiasm, but also ability.

Even if you have the ability to have blood, you may not be able to do it, which is why Xu Jie dared to call the ministers.

Gong Hui gritted his teeth and took a step forward: "Long live, the shipyard will never delay the construction of water conservancy, the minister is willing to bear it, if it doesn't work, the minister will take his own guilt!" ”

Xu Jie's face was calm, and he made a big cross in Gong Hui's name in his heart, you disunited guy, you must find a chance to honor you!

Liu Tong took a step forward, and was just halfway up when he was pulled back by Pan Huang. Pan Huang took a step forward and arched his hand.

"Since the shipyard and the Ministry of Water Conservancy can undertake it, the work of helping the peasants will distribute the immortal vines, and the ministers will ensure that the Ministry of Households can complete it. If it doesn't work out, the minister will take his own sins! ”

Xu Jie unexpectedly turned his head to look at Pan Huang, how could this old fox ...... This is not in line with your usual personality!

I wanted to nominate you when I joined the cabinet, but now it's gone! It is better to recommend Xia Bangxian of the Ministry of Officials!

Ding Rukui took a step forward: "Long live, protect the farmers and warehouses, reclaim the outside of the customs, guard against the rebellion in Miaojiang, recruit the soldiers of the water division, and the military department will handle it itself." If it doesn't work out, the minister will take his own sins! ”

Xu Jie didn't even look up to look at Ding Rukui, this guy was wearing the same leg pants as Xiao Feng, and it was really an accident that he didn't jump out.

"That, long live that, there are not many things in the Ministry of Officials this year, this matter of the technical and scientific examination, the minister thinks that the Ministry of Officials can still handle it, as long as the Ministry of Rites has no opinions."

Xu Jie looked at Xia Bangxian, the secretary of the ministry, this guy also went to Xiyuan to petition at the beginning, it should be his own talent!

How can you ...... Don't even think about being in the cabinet!

Xia Bangxian lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Jie. Jiajing nodded approvingly, and looked at Xu Jie, because at this time, the Ministry of Rites was also held by Xu Jie.

Xu Jie gritted his teeth and had to say: "There is no problem with the Ministry of Rites, although the matter of the scientific examination is mainly the Ministry of Rites, but after the technical scientific examination, the arrangement of official positions is the matter of the Ministry of Officials, can Lord Xia really arrange it properly?" ”

Gong Hui immediately stood up to support Xia Bangxian: "Lord Xiao has already planned, and the candidates who are selected in the technical department will be included in the Guofang as officials. The establishment of the national fang, the Ministry of Industry will naturally assist the Ministry of Officials to complete! ”

Xia Bangxian breathed a sigh of relief: "If this is the case, the officials can undertake the matter of the technical examination, and if it is inappropriate, the ministers will accept their own crimes." ”

Xu Jie knew that the general trend had been achieved, and it would be deliberate to block it again, so he immediately turned around, changed the track, and returned to the position of the leader.

"Originally, I put forward these difficult suggestions to see if Lord Xiao left suddenly, and whether you have the confidence to tide over the difficulties together.

Today, I am very pleased to see that all the adults are full of confidence, loyal and patriotic, and the ministers are the first assistants. In this way, the minister will inevitably lead the cabinet to coordinate the six ministries and get these things done! ”

Jiajing nodded with satisfaction, and the ministers all secretly admired, the first assistant is the first assistant, in a word, the difficulties in front have become tests, and the credit for him afterwards is indispensable.

In the seven days that Xiao Dang and Xu Dang were secretly fighting, Jiajing was also busy enough, and now that it has finally come to an end, he remembers one thing.

In these seven days, the person who behaved the most abnormally was Princess Chang'an. On the night of Xiao Feng's death, she didn't go to the street to see Xiao Feng, and after Xiao Feng was buried in the World Observatory, she didn't go to see Xiao Feng once.

Jiajing was not worried about her daughter, so she took her to Xiyuan and asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her pulse.

The imperial doctors almost died twice on Xiao Feng's body, and they trembled one by one, and took out the skill of pressing the bottom of the box to serve Princess Chang'an.

The final conclusion is very consistent: after more than a year of careful treatment by Xiao Feng, although Princess Chang'an's body is still weak, the image of extreme cold has disappeared.

This also means that even without Xiao Feng, Princess Chang'an has no worries about her life. As long as you take care of yourself, it shouldn't be a big problem to live an ordinary life.

Jiajing finally found some solace in extreme sadness, but thinking that her daughter's life was all due to her junior brother, she couldn't help but feel even more sad.

Chang An's face was as usual, he gave Jiajing a slap on the shoulder, and chatted with Jiajing for a long time without saying anything, which made Jiajing feel a little better, and then went out of the palace and returned home.

When passing by the gate of Xiao's mansion, Chang An hesitated, but still let the painting call the door, Qi An opened the door, and Princess Chang An went directly to the backyard.

Liu Xue'er is very conscious of being a lady, and she is kind and considerate by nature, and she is quite respectful and polite to Princess Chang'an.

Qiao Niang is steady and gentle, although she is a little lighter to Princess Chang'an, it is not obvious.

But Wang Yingxiang, who returned to Xiao Mansion to comfort and help, was not very friendly to Princess Chang'an, but she didn't dare to offend her, and she pretended not to see her.

Zhang Yunqing was even more intense: "The princess's daughter's body, there are dead people in this mansion, it's unlucky, don't make the princess have a headache and brain fever, let's invite the princess back to the house!" ”

Qiaoqiao didn't say anything, she restarted the mode of eating steamed buns, and practiced kung fu every day in addition to eating steamed buns.

King Yu and King Jing came to see her and talked to her, but she didn't care. So now when I see Princess Chang'an, I just burped, and then lowered my head to eat steamed buns.

Princess Chang'an didn't realize it, talking to everyone, and didn't care whether others wanted to deal with her or not. It was until dusk, and Liu Ruyun also came home.

Liu Ruyun has a low background, after all, she can't compare to the rest of the Xiao Mansion, although she is also angry in her heart, she still salutes the princess very well.

Princess Chang'an smiled: "Sister Liu, I'll wait for you to come back." I like the moonlight on the lotus pond that you made for me before. I've been feeling sick for the past two days, and I want to eat another bowl. ”

Liu Ruyun hesitated, looked at the rolls of Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang's eyes at her, and still smiled.

"It's not difficult, princess, wait a minute, I'll make you a bowl."

A moment later, a bowl of moonlight from the lotus pond was served. The bright chicken soup is topped with thin slices of cucumber in the shape of lotus leaves, and on top of it are small lotus flowers made of gluten.

A round poached egg sinks in the middle of a large bowl, like a bright moon.

Liu Ruyun said apologetically: "The chicken soup is too late to be boiled, it is leftover from the morning, and the taste may not be so fresh and sweet, so the princess should make do with it." ”

Zhang Yunqing pouted: "Then what's the matter, your chicken soup is not a serious chicken soup, what should the princess do if she drinks a bad stomach?" ”

Princess Chang'an smiled, picked up the bowl, drank it in one go, ate the lotus leaves and the moon, and then put down the bowl with great satisfaction.

"It's delicious, it's delicious. I let Xiao Gongzi eat it last time, so I drank two mouthfuls of soup, and today I finally enjoyed it. Sister Liu, your craftsmanship is so good. ”

When a chef is praised for his good workmanship, just as a girl is praised for being beautiful, as long as it does not come from the mouth of a hooligan, it always makes people happy. Liu Ruyun smiled and nodded.

Princess Chang'an looked at the people in the room again, nodded with a smile, and helped her to leave.

The room suddenly returned to its usual dullness and silence, and it had been like this for seven days. After a long time, Zhang Yunqing spoke sullenly.

"She's been here for a long time, just to drink Sister Liu's bowl of soup? The princess is different. ”
