Chapter 247 San'er is very bad
After chatting about these things, Gao Gong also started to get to the point.
Gao Gong said: "You and I can't change these things now, and it's useless to think about them. Now we should think more about the things we can change and take charge of. Hai Rui, it's only been a year since you arrived in the capital. "Moreover, you must know how the prince treats you."
"Now that the prince has encountered such great difficulties, you have to think about how to repay the prince's kindness. The expansion of the capital is now. The project is about to begin, and the grand ceremony for the start of the construction has been held. The only thing left is to actually start the construction. "
"As the prime minister of the capital's expansion, the prince does not have to manage daily affairs, but if something goes wrong, it will eventually happen. It will affect the prince’s reputation and damage his prestige.”
"So, today I also open the skylight and speak out. I want to ask you, if the prince needs it, are you willing to go forward for the prince?"
Gao Gong looked at Hai Rui who was eating carrot sticks with burning eyes. , I could see that Hai Rui still had an indifferent expression on his face at this moment, and was not shocked at all by Gao Gong's words. He seemed to have only this carrot stick in his eyes.
Watching Hai Rui slowly put the radish stick in his mouth and finish it, Gao Gong could not help but feel a little unknown fire in his heart.
You must know that Hai Rui is what he is today, thanks to the help of Prince Yu. Without Prince Yu's high regard, how would Hai Rui have the chance to get the training of Gao Gong, so that he can succeed in one fell swoop? He is famous for being awarded the second grade of Jinshi.
Now that King Yu is in trouble, he is calm and only gives out carrots. How can he not make Gao Gong angry?
Hai Rui, who felt the change in Gao Gong's mood, remained unchanged at this moment.
He gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then said to Gao Gong: "Bachelor Gao, I am an official of the imperial court. I will do whatever the imperial court needs me to do. Although the prince treats me I'm kind, but I can't dethrone the official position because of the kindness, and use it for the prince's personal use."
"And I am just a small household minister, and I have been in the household ministry for a year now. , I may be selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be sent to a local county to be one of the parents. So even if I, Hai Rui, are willing to do something for the prince, I am not able to do anything for the prince. "
Gao Gong felt angry after hearing Hai Rui's words. He couldn't help but drink another glass of wine and said angrily: "What use can you do as a member of the household administration? Let me ask you this. , I’m not asking you to be an internal correspondent in the Ministry of Household Affairs for the prince, and the prince doesn’t need you to be a small observer of the Ministry of Household Affairs to understand the trends of the Ministry of Household Affairs.”
“I’m here to ask you this time, just because I want to know. , if the prince wants to transfer you to the Ministry of Industry or Shuntian Mansion to be responsible for supervising the expansion of the capital, will you be willing to sacrifice your life to monitor the progress and quality of the project wholeheartedly? "
After hearing Gao Gong's words, Hai Rui's expression suddenly became moved.
He never expected that Gao Gong came to him for this matter.
It turned out that he thought that Gao Gong wanted to know more about the internal affairs of the Ministry of Finance through him, so he kept a distance and only told Gao Gong some indifferent bad things about the Ministry of Finance.
So at this moment, Hai Rui was no longer as calm as before. He looked at Gao Gong with bright eyes, "If he can really contribute a small amount to such an important event as the expansion of the capital, Hai Rui is willing to break into pieces and work for The prince will go through fire and water!"
After seeing Hai Rui's reaction, Gao Gong couldn't help but snorted, "I really don't know how you became an official? I heard that you gave away the people from the Ministry of Finance? You’ve offended everyone. If the prince hadn’t taken a liking to your ability to be fearless and serious, you would have been kicked out by the Ministry of Revenue.”
Hai Rui didn't take it seriously and said: "I am an official based on my conscience and rules, and the people I can offend must also be unruly people. Therefore, I am not afraid of offending people."
Hearing Hai Rui's words, Gao Gong couldn't help but feel a little better about Hai Rui in his heart. It seems that some things cannot be relied on just hearing about them. You have to verify them yourself in order to know the essence.
Gao Gong felt relieved and no longer angry. He also liked Hai Rui, a straight person like Hai Rui.
Because I also know that when I get along with someone like this, I can safely entrust you with important tasks. Thinking of this, Gao Gong couldn't help but sigh for Zhu Zaijing. The prince's ability to recognize people was indeed extraordinary, and he was able to identify Hai Rui, a rare gem in the world, at a glance.
Gao Gong raised his wine glass and smiled at Hai Rui again: "Come on, come on, have a drink, this drink is my treat."
Hai Rui looked at Gao Gong who was in high spirits, and felt warm in his heart, but Principles are principles.
Hai Rui said: "It's okay to drink, but I have to pay for this meal, otherwise I won't drink."
Gao Gong couldn't help but shout loudly after hearing what Hai Rui said. Said: "Why do you know so well? Can I bribe you?"
Hai Rui said: "Master Gao misunderstood, I am just a small household minister watching the government, no one can No need to bribe me. This is just my principle. I cannot accept the reward for nothing.”
Hearing Hai Rui's words, Gao Gong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Actually speaking, I can be considered half of your husband. Isn't it inappropriate for you to treat your teacher like this?"
Unexpectedly, when Hai Rui heard this, he immediately caught the loophole. Hai Rui said, "Hai Rui can't repay Gao Xueshi's kindness in teaching. But Gao Xuesi also warned Hai Rui that he can't talk to him in the future." A bachelor is a master and a disciple, so Hai Rui is observing the rules set by the bachelor Gao."
As soon as Hai Rui said this, Gao Gong was speechless, then shook his head and said, "That's all. I can't help you now. Even if you pay for the wine, this dish must be mine. "
Hearing Gao Gong's words. , Hai Rui no longer insisted.
So, this time the date became Hai Rui buying wine and Gao Gong buying groceries. After the two of them finished talking about business, they finished the remaining pickles and wine with laughter.
Gao Gong, who returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, immediately conveyed Hai Rui's message to Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing was also overjoyed when he heard that Hai Rui was willing to help him.
Immediately, Zhu Zaijing also asked Meng Chong to go to Xiyuan to find Huang Jin, and asked Huang Jin to help say a few good words in front of Emperor Jiajing, so that he could recommend Hai Rui as an official of Prince Yu's Mansion and be responsible. Prince Yu began to supervise the inspection task of the capital expansion project.
When Huang Jin told Emperor Jiajing about this little incident, Emperor Jiajing also laughed and did not refuse.
Emperor Jiajing said: "I also want to see what else this little black guy is capable of? The household department has been tortured by him for a year, and it is indeed much better than before. Otherwise, judging from his qualifications, Qian, I can’t help but want to transfer him to the Imperial Procuratorate as a censor.”
After Huang Jin heard what Emperor Jiajing said, he also laughed and said: "The emperor's kindness has given Hai Rui such kindness. If he is really promoted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he will definitely be grateful. But now he is not With this blessing, I can only work for Prince Yu."
Emperor Jiajing said with a smile: "He won't be easy going to San'er. I can see that San'er is looking for this. Xiao Heizi, he actually treats people as human shields, he is really bad."
As he spoke, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but laugh again, as if he approved of Zhu Zaijing's actions. , I am also very optimistic about it and think it should be like this.
However, Emperor Jiajing was lucky not to transfer Hai Rui to the Imperial Procuratorate as censor. Otherwise, with Hai Rui's personality and attitude, he would definitely enjoy Hai Rui's real critical hits in advance, which would make him He broke the defense early.
