Chapter 277 The Thoughts of a Smart Man
When Yan Shifan heard Xu Jie's words, he immediately looked over in disbelief. He knew that this old guy with usually low eyebrows was not a joke.
I didn’t expect to start biting today!
Just when Yan Shifan was furious and about to jump out and blast Xu Jie for being ungrateful, Yan Song, who had been silent all this time, suddenly moved.
Yan Song stood up tremblingly, bowed to Emperor Jiajing, then looked at Xu Jie and said: "Zisheng is right, I think so too. The affairs of the Ministry of Industry are complicated, and there are so many in the world. We have to worry about all major projects. Although the expansion of the outer city of the capital is also within the scope of the Ministry of Industry, in the final analysis it is also on the territory of Shuntian Prefecture. ”
"Since Shuntian Prefecture is willing to share responsibilities for the Ministry of Works and wants to establish an Urban Construction Department to be responsible for urban construction matters, I think this is a good thing. When the time comes, it will be good to transfer some officials who are familiar with the management of urban construction work from the Ministry of Works to take charge. ”
Yan Song’s words were also very skillful. Although he did not speak when he arrived at the Longevity Palace, he had been listening attentively to the words of Wang Youzhao and Xu Jie, as well as the reaction of Emperor Jiajing.
Although Yan Song is old, his brain is not old yet, and he can still keenly sense the tapping intention of Emperor Jiajing.
So before the final word is made, he has to express what he means, and at the same time, he has to make it more difficult for Xu Jie and Wang Youzhao to let them know who is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty!
But Yan Shifan failed to understand what his father meant for a while. Yan Shifan said anxiously: "Dad, you can't do this!"
Unexpectedly, Yan Shifan suddenly became angry, turned around and stared at Yan Shifan, and said coldly: "Your father is not involved in the imperial discussion. The minister of the Ministry of Industry did not say anything, what did you say? There are no rules."
Yan Song's reprimand, all of a sudden Yan Shifan was scared like a quail. He couldn't help but break out in cold sweat and didn't dare to speak anymore.
At this time, Emperor Jiajing laughed and said, "It's all for the sake of the court, so the noise is no longer a problem. Yan Qing, you are too strict, Shifan is also kind-hearted."
After saying this, Emperor Jiajing also said: "I deeply agree with what Mr. Yan Ge said. The affairs of the Ministry of Industry are complex and can be partly borne by Shuntian Prefecture, but Shuntian Prefecture also lacks experience in urban construction management. .
"Let's follow what Mr. Yan Ge said and let the Ministry of Works allocate some capable people to set up the Urban Construction Department first, so as not to delay the construction of the outer city of the capital. ”
In the end, Emperor Jiajing finally settled the matter. After hearing His Majesty the Emperor's final decree, Yan Song, Xu Jie and others also stood up and bowed to Emperor Jiajing: "Your Majesty is a saint."
Then Emperor Jiajing He ignored these people and stood up from the throne, returning to his monastery to meditate.
Yan Shifan looked at Xu Jie and Wang Youzhao unhappily, and at the silent Ouyang Bijin unhappily. At the same time, he had to come over to help Yan Song honestly.
Yan Song felt the same as Ming Jing about his son's mentality. He knew very well how angry Yan Shifan was now.
But Yan Song didn't say anything. He also wanted Yan Shifan to reflect on his own thoughts and reflect on today's events.
After all, he is really old, and he will definitely not be able to decide the future for a few years. If Yan Shifan still has to live under his wings to achieve success, then there will definitely be no hope for the Yan family in the future.
So, Yan Song also wanted Yan Shifan to hone himself and grow up, not asking him to be as thoughtful as Xu Jie, but asking him to see himself clearly and ensure that the Yan family can be stable and wealthy for generations. That's it.
Just when Yan Shifan helped Yan Song leave the Wanshou Palace, Xu Jie was still waiting respectfully in front of the palace, "Mr. Ge, please slow down."
Yan Song raised his head and looked at Xu Jie smiled respectfully, "I'm old, I need your help in the future. Shifan, let's go back."
Yan Song didn't waste any more nonsense with Xu Jie. , just let Yan Shifan help him leave.
Xu Jie did not bother to explain what he meant. He bowed slightly to Yan Song again and said, "Best farewell to Mr. Ge."
After Yan Song and Yan Shifan walked away, Xu Jie finally hurried to Xiyuan. At the palace gate, Xu Jie knew that Prince Yin Youzhao of Shuntian Prefecture was also waiting for him behind the palace gate at this moment.
Wang Youzhao looked at Xu Jie who was walking out quickly, and immediately bowed and said: "Teacher."
Xu Jie hummed, "Okay, let's talk about what happened. What happened?" Wang Youzhao was stunned when he heard Xu Jie's words. He was waiting here and wanted to ask Xu Jie how he was doing.
As a result, the first thing Xu Jie said was to ask him what was going on?
Isn’t it Xu Jie’s idea to propose the establishment of an urban construction department?
Wang Youzhao asked carefully: "What's wrong, mentor?"
Xu Jie glanced at Wang Youzhao displeasedly, "Tell me what happened to the City Construction Department? Why didn't you tell me in advance? "For a moment?"
When Wang Youzhao heard Xu Jie's words, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly replied: "Teacher, isn't this what you meant?"
Xu Jie said: "When did I ask you to do such a thing?"
Wang Youzhao was really stunned now. It turned out that it was really not Xu Jie's intention. Then why did Zhang Juzheng come to him? Wasn't it Xu Jie's instigation?
Wang Youzhao immediately explained: "Teacher, Zhang Juzheng asked me for this matter. I thought this was what my mentor meant, so I went to Shu without thinking, thinking about doing something for my mentor."
When Xu Jie listened to Wang Youzhao's words, he suddenly understood that the problem lay here.
However, Wang Youzhao's answer also made Xu Jie very dissatisfied. What do you mean by asking your mentor to do something? Could it be that I, Xu, also like to form cliques in private like Yan Song?
Xu Jie said: "Now that the matter has been done, let's handle the next things well. Mr. Yan Ge asked people from the Ministry of Works to come over to build the city construction department, and Mr. Xiao Ge's intervention is definitely indispensable."
"At that time, you have to think clearly about this matter and whether you want to continue fighting with Mr. Xiaoge. If you are going to fight, you have to think about who you can rely on. If you are not going to fight, you have to think about who you will offend. "
"So, I won't interfere in the next thing, and I won't say anything. Everything depends on your own ability. Do you understand this? "
Xu Jieye? He is very smart. He knows that he can't fall out with Yan Song and Yan Shifan yet, but now that this matter has come out, he has to figure out how to cut himself.
At the same time, in order for Wang Youzhao to continue to be used by him, he had to point out a clear path for Wang Youzhao, which made Wang Youzhao feel a little bit wrong. As for whether Wang Youzhao could understand it, that was his destiny.
After saying these words to Wang Youzhao, Xu Jie stopped saying anything and walked away alone.
On the way, the corners of Xu Jie's mouth could not help but slightly raised, "Zhang Juzheng used this trick very well. He actually thought of using me to summon Wang Youzhao to help King Yu solve his problem. Not bad. Not bad.”
Xu Jie felt proud that he was the one who saw the whole incident clearly, and at the same time he couldn’t help but admire Zhang Juzheng, his most valued disciple.
What Xu Jie is most proud of now is his non-corruption. He feels that he did not promote his son as his future helper like Yan Song, but instead found a talented man, Puyu, as his Backhand.
As long as this piece of raw jade can be carved into something great in the future, the future of the Xu family will definitely be smooth sailing without wind or rain.
But if his son Xu Jie shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, except for the powerful officials who usurped the throne since ancient times, which of the most famous ministers could entrust the future to his son?
Old Yan Ge, Old Yan Ge, you are so smart for a lifetime, but you are confused for a while. Can my son use it this way? Bringing your son into the center of power, isn't this a recipe for death?
Your Majesty can tolerate you for a while, but can he tolerate you for a lifetime? Moreover, your son is still so arrogant and domineering and doesn't know how to restrain himself. Once he gets into trouble, even Daluo Jinxian will not be able to save your Yan family.
So, Xu Jie is much more clear-headed than Yan Song when it comes to future inheritance. He understood that in the Ming Dynasty, except for the emperor's family, where power could be passed down from generation to generation, if other families wanted to do this, it would be a dead end.
