Chapter 267 Prince Yu gives guidance to Hai Gangfeng
Hai Rui's current work progress in the Ministry of Industry has indeed encountered some minor problems and obstacles.
Ouyang Bijin, who was originally in contact with Hai Rui, could not easily hand over the project money allocated by the Ministry of Accounts to Hai Rui's supervision because of Yan Shifan's instructions.
So during this period, Hai Rui took the regulations of the Ministry of Industry and the resolution issued by Emperor Jiajing and the cabinet on the construction of the outer city of the capital to control the supervision of this money for theoretical weapons and Ouyang Bijin. .
The result is naturally predictable. Hai Rui is holding a theoretical weapon, and Hai Rui is leaning against King Yu behind him. Anyone who wants to touch him must consider whether the consequences can be tolerated.
Therefore, even when faced with a central official like Ouyang Bijin, Hai Rui was upright and fearless. He took the regulations of the Ministry of Industry and the resolutions of Emperor Jiajing and the cabinet to argue with Ouyang Bijin.
After several rounds, Ouyang Bijin finally realized Sun Yingkui's difficulty.
When Sun Yingkui wrote a warrant against Hai Rui in the household department, it spread throughout the capital like a gust of wind. When Ouyang Bijin heard this rumor, he laughed at Sun Yingkui. Even the little Hai Rui couldn't control it. Fortunately, he had been in the officialdom for decades, and his job was in vain.
The moment he really faced Hai Rui, he truly understood how terrifying Hai Rui was.
Although Hai Rui's official rank is not high, his aura of not being afraid of trouble is terrifying to Ling Ran, especially when every word he says comes with impeccable evidence, it is even more terrifying. It's impossible to refute.
It felt like Hai Rui was like a hedgehog with thorns all over his body, and every one of his thorns was so righteous and awe-inspiring, making it hard to eat and at the same time hard to get rid of.
In the end, Ouyang Bijin could only say "sick" in despair, and directly asked the problem to Yan Shifan, who was the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Yan Shifan's behavior is different from that of old bureaucrats like Sun Yingkui and Ouyang Bijin.
Old bureaucrats pay attention to rules and decency, and cherish their own feathers. When they can't be discussed, they will comfort themselves and find a step down to help others and themselves.
But Yan Shifan is not such a person at all.
The reason why Yan Shifan was able to reach a high position was not only his own intelligence, but also his biggest reliance on his father.
So when it comes to rules, Yan Shifan is very disdainful. The feathers and face that others care about may not be the same thing here.
So when Hai Rui prepared to attack Yan Shifan with all his righteousness, Yan Shifan didn't even give him any face and just disappeared. No matter how many times Hai Rui went to the Ministry of Industry, he never saw him. As for Yan Shifan, it seems that Yan Shifan doesn't even come to work in the Ministry of Engineering.
In fact, this is true for Yan Shifan. Although he is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he also has the nickname of Xiaoge Lao. Therefore, in many cases, Yan Shifan either enters and leaves the cabinet in the name of serving his father, or Just use other excuses to enjoy yourself at home.
Anyway, I want to see Yan Shifan at the Ministry of Works, unless I am lucky enough to happen to see Yan Shifan coming to work at the Ministry of Works.
But it is a pity that Yan Shifan will not come to the Ministry of Industry to do anything unless he is sent by the emperor's order.
Otherwise, even if Hai Rui lived in the Ministry of Industry Yamen and blocked the door, he would not be able to see Yan Shifan.
Hai Rui's embarrassment was immediately revealed by Zhu Zaijing. Apart from being a little surprised, Hai Rui was not embarrassed at all.
Hai Rui bowed to Zhu Zaijing and said, "I know that I am guilty. I cannot fulfill the prince's instructions because I am incompetent." Zhu Zaijing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's sit down and have a sip of tea first. .”
Zhu Zaijing had no intention of blaming Hai Rui, and even asked him to sit down and drink tea. This could not help but make Hai Rui feel warm. Originally, he thought that Zhu Zaijing would take advantage of his unhappiness after being remonstrated to blame him. Ichiban.
As a result, Zhu Zaijing didn't take these things to heart at all, so at this time, Hai Rui finally felt Zhu Zaijing's broad mind and calmness again.
These feelings in Hai Rui's heart at this moment are gradually brewing into feelings of respect and admiration. You must know that no matter how noble Zhu Zaijing is, he is only a fifteen-year-old boy. .
For a young man of this age, which time is not the time to show off his unruly personality?
But Zhu Zaijing behaves like a mature adult, and his mind is extremely sophisticated. He is not influenced by emotions or preferences.
This is such a rare feeling of youth and maturity.
After Hai Rui apologized and sat down, Zhu Zaijing said again: "Actually, I know all your current problems. Yan Shifan is different from ordinary people. He passed the exam without taking the normal imperial examination. His high position depends on his intelligence and ability, but more importantly, he relies on Yange Lao Fuyin. "So this person must be extremely arrogant and look down on anyone." You are a qualified Jinshi, but your rank is not high, so in Yan Shifan's eyes, you are just a lackey. Therefore, if you want to see him, you will definitely be rejected."
"However, to deal with this. There is nothing you can do about it, you have to learn to borrow strength. If you can borrow a strength that Yan Shifan can't refuse, then even if you don't take the initiative to see him, he will be eager to find you."
Zhu Zaijing took a leisurely sip of tea and said these words in one breath. After hearing this, Hai Rui couldn't help but stroke his beard, which was only about an inch under his chin, and began to think.
After a while, Hai Rui replied: "Does your Majesty mean that I ask you to find Mr. Yan Ge?"
Zhu Zaijing waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, how can we do it right from the beginning?" Where is the king? Apart from Mr. Yan Ge, there should still be people who can control Yan Shifan. Think about it again."
Zhu Zaijing was tempting Hai Rui in a direction he had never thought of. Thinking about the problem, Yan Song can certainly suppress Yan Shifan, but Yan Song's rank is too high. Let's not talk about whether Hai Rui can meet Yan Song smoothly. Even if he does meet Yan Song, with Yan Song's sophistication, Hai Rui will definitely be in vain. And return.
After all, in a practical sense, the cabinet is already a thing of the past after the matter reaches this point. If Hai Rui turns to the cabinet to suppress Yan Shifan, it will only highlight Hai Rui's incompetence, as if he is a A primary school student who only knows how to make small reports.
So, under no circumstances should Hai Rui go looking for Yan Song in a hurry.
After Hai Rui heard Zhu Zaijing's words, he seemed to be relieved, and seemed to be worried that the clear path pointed out by Zhu Zaijing was for him to find Yan Song.
Hai Rui thought about it for a while. After thinking hard, it seemed that there was no other power to draw on, so Hai Rui bowed to Zhu Zaijing and said, "Please give me a clear explanation, Your Majesty." "
Zhu Zaijing looked at Hai Rui who was begging for him and felt happy.
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said: "Apart from me, who else in the capital is serving as the prime minister for the expansion of the capital?"
