Chapter 212: Be Prepared

The yamen was sealed, but the saint did not completely let go of government affairs.

He still got up early to freshen up as usual, sat down in the imperial study, and looked at the twists and turns that were not urgent and had not been disposed of before yesterday.

Most of the content was sent in advance by local yamen to greet the New Year.

A sneaky auspicious word.

Among them, several books mention Li Shao.

After seeing it, he put it aside and asked Gong Cao, "Has Xu Jian arrived?"

Father-in-law Cao went outside to ask.

It's also a coincidence, as soon as I stepped out of the imperial study, I looked up and saw Xu Jian's figure.

"The Holy One asked about the grandfather of the country." Father-in-law Cao hurriedly greeted him.

Xu Jian untied the snow coat, tidied up the hem and cuffs, and then followed into the front of the palace, and after saluting respectfully, he sat down according to his words.

The saint took a sip of tea and said, "There were a lot of things in the past few days, and I didn't even bother to ask you, what did I learn after staying in the Shuntian Mansion for a while?"

This time, Xu Jian did not prevaricate about any "messing around".

Truthfully, he spoke of what he had thought and seen during these days.

What are the things that the Shuntianfu is doing, how are they being promoted, and what kind of coordination is there with other yamen, and what are the similarities and differences between him and the previous time when he was "in charge" in the Shuntianfu.

The Holy One listened with great concentration, bowing his head from time to time.

Is this because the Holy One cares about his growth in the yamen?

Xu Jian knows that he does care about it, but behind the care, it is for the prince to think deeply.

When Li Shao was young, the saint could often take him with him and teach him some things personally.

The year before last, Li Shao moved out of the east side hall of the Shengshang Sleeping Palace and set up his own East Palace.

It's not far from the dormitory and the imperial study, but it's not in sight after all.

The court is busy, and the saint wants to give more guidance, but he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.

Moreover, what those in the top positions see and think are not completely consistent with the yamen of the thousand-step corridor and the local government.

No matter how much you listen to it in the imperial study, and no matter how much you explain it, it is also on paper, and it is not more direct than visiting the yamen in person and observing politics seriously.

Only when you understand how to do things in the yamen below, will you not be able to sit on the throne in the future and make jokes about pointing to the deer as a horse.

Telling the courtiers to laugh and lose royal face is not a trivial matter.

Laymen indiscriminately instruct insiders, and it is difficult for the holy order to do it, and make a mess of government affairs, then it will be fatal.

In the early years of the saint, he had no intention of taking the throne, and he just wanted to be an idle prince, and he didn't study those things well at all.

So much so that the throne fell on the head, and only then did he realize the inadequacy.

From being canonized as the crown prince to ascending to the throne, it was only a few months, he had the heart to learn, and how much could he learn?

Fortunately, the old ministers left by the first emperor had the ability to teach him by hand, helping him get through the first few years, and slowly got on the right path.

The saint himself has taken a detour, so he naturally doesn't want his son to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Therefore, it is necessary to observe politics.

But how to observe and what insights can be observed, we still have to rely on understanding.

And enlightenment, in addition to oneself, of course, there must also be someone to guide the way.

This person......

Xu Jian glanced at the saint.

He knew that the Holy God wanted him to do this.

After mastering the mind of the saint, what to say and how to say it is naturally prepared before coming.

The speed of speech slowed down, Xu Jian didn't speak fast, and even occasionally stopped and pretended to think.

The Holy One did not urge.

After all, he had more free time today, and he had plenty of time to listen slowly.

After Xu Jian finished speaking, looking at the sage's expression, he knew that he was very satisfied with this summary.

"Shan Qing praised you with me, and you praised him with me," the saint laughed, "You really get along."

Xu Jian lowered his eyes and said, "Master Shan is in charge of Shuntian Mansion, and he has his own set of abilities, and the ministers are not boasting with their eyes closed."

The saint laughed.

Well done

Handsome.

This is normal.

He likes to listen to the well-founded and well-organized praise among officials.

This shows that as a king, he used people in a good way, and put the right chess in the right place and played a role.

In a good mood, the saint said, "You didn't just sit and pass the time, you did see some things, and I was very relieved. Come, take a look at these excerpts for me."

After speaking, the saint nodded the basics that he had picked out earlier, and motioned for Gonggong Cao to take them to Xu Jian.

Xu Jian took it with both hands and opened it to see.

Aside from those flattering and greetings, the common denominator of these excerpts is "Li Shao", and they all think that the prince is young, and the saint should let him have more experience.

There is a book that I don't know which horn Gada nest sent out, and I don't know that there is a little eye in the capital will not mention that the prince inspected Yumen on behalf of the saint last year, and praised the prince's experience on the top.

After he finished reading, the saint said, "I have been quite hesitant this year.

For a while, I thought that Shao'er was still young, so I learned more from Sangu, laid a solid foundation, and then let him get in touch with practice. After a while, I thought that if I just listened and didn't practice, my thoughts would inevitably be naïve and not practical enough.

It's this kind of naivety that makes him not calm and thinks about it, otherwise, you won't get hurt.

You analyze and analyze for me, whether to let Shao'er go to various yamen to observe politics earlier and master more practice, or let him calm down and follow the bosses."

Xu Jian pursed her lips.

After "thinking" for a while, he said, "Since you are talking about this to the minister in private, of course you don't want to listen to some scenes, so the minister will not go around in circles and tell the truth."

Holy Lord: "I can say whatever I want, and I won't ask you for sin."

"You set up the crown prince early, that is, you have thought about putting the world in his hands, even if other princes have outstanding abilities in the future, you will not set up another prince, and you can be so hesitant now, all because you are in the prime of life and in good health," Xu Jian paused and said boldly, "If you are not in good health and the imperial doctor is not optimistic, you will immediately kick the prince into the thousand-step corridor to watch the politics and watch the circle."

Cao Gong justly added tea to the saint, and his hand almost shook when he heard the words.

Listen to what Fu Guogong said!

Honestly, it's too real!

Fortunately, the saint didn't care, and even laughed.

Xu Jian continued: "The minister thinks that if you are prepared, the prince said that it is not big, but it is small, and there will be seventeen in the coming year, how can you not understand the government?"

Reason is such a principle, that is, this "be prepared"......

The saint glanced at his hand on the big case, and the young man really didn't pay attention to his words, as if he was going to die in a few years.

Anyway, he doesn't care about these small things.

Besides, Xu Jian was right.

Seventeen years old, not mature enough, but enough to understand government affairs.

"According to your ideas, let the prince start to watch politics from the sixth department after the beginning of the year," the saint had already made this decision, and also brought Xu Jian in like a boat pushing the boat, "You have done a good job in Shuntian Mansion, talk to Shao'er about your set of ideas, and follow him to watch politics in the future."
