Chapter 355 That’s my money
When Chen Hong went to find Xu Jie, Xu Jie’s heart trembled.
What is supposed to come will come.
Xu Jie said politely to Chen Hong: "My father-in-law, I will change my official uniform later and go to Xiyuan to see the Holy One."
Chen Hong frowned when he heard Xu Jie's words. Wrinkling slightly, it feels like Xu Jie's arrogance is bigger than Yan Song's?
Therefore, Chen Hong was also a little unhappy and said secretly: "Mr. Ge, the Emperor and Mr. Yan Ge are waiting for you. You have to hurry up."
Xu Jie was not worried at first. Well, now that I heard Chen Hong say that Yan Song was here, I suddenly felt confident.
Xu Jie chuckled and said, "My father-in-law will be later."
Xu Jie then ignored Chen Hong and walked quickly to the inner room, and then found a letter written by Zhang Juzheng. Write his letters.
When this letter first arrived, Xu Jie just glanced at it and didn't take it seriously.
But now Xu Jie also found that this letter seemed to be his life-saving straw. So, taking advantage of the time to change clothes, Xu Jie quickly browsed the contents of the letter written by Zhang Juzheng.
After reading it, Xu Jie was even more determined. Then Xu Jie pulled up the official uniform hanging on the screen and quickly changed it.
After Xu Jie came out, Xu Jie said to Chen Hong again: "My father-in-law has been waiting for a long time. Let's go to see the driver now."
Chen Hong said "no" but Ignoring Xu Jie, he walked in front minding his own business. Xu Jie didn't care about Chen Hong's impolite gesture and walked behind as if nothing happened.
After about two quarters of an hour (half an hour), Chen Hong finally took Xu Jie to the Yuxi Palace in Xiyuan to return to his life.
Huang Jin came out and looked at Chen Hong, and then at Xu Jie behind Chen Hong. Huang Jin immediately said politely: "Mr. Xu Ge is here. Mr. Ge, please hurry in and see the driver. The emperor has been waiting for a long time." >
Huang Jin's attitude is as friendly as ever. Whether it is towards Yan Song or Xu Jie, Huang Jin's attitude has always been so equal and harmonious.
So this is one of the reasons why Huang Jin easily gained the respect of cabinet and foreign officials.
Xu Jie said politely to Huang Jin: "Thank you so much, Eunuch Huang, I'll go in right now."
Huang Jin led Xu Jie into the inner hall of Yuxi Palace. In front of the Jingshe in the palace, Xu Jie respectfully kowtowed at the door of the Jingshe and said: "I, Xu Jie, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Emperor Jiajing, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly opened his eyes when he heard Xu Jie's voice, and said in an extremely indifferent voice: "Come in."
Xu Jie bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."< br>
Then Xu Jie carefully entered the monastery.
The Jingshe in Yuxi Palace is indeed much smaller than the original Jingshe in Wanshou Palace, and the lighting is not bright enough. We can only use a large number of candles to supplement the light. It seems a bit twilight and makes people feel depressed.
Xu Jie arrived at the monastery without squinting and stood respectfully with his arms hanging down. When he saw Yan Song, he also followed the rules and etiquette and nodded slightly to Yan Song. Yan Song also He nodded slowly without saying anything.
After all, this is before the emperor's visit, so any polite etiquette must be restrained, and you cannot be as polite as usual.
Emperor Jiajing raised his eyes and looked at Xu Jie, and asked in a cold voice: "Wang Youzhao is your student?"
Xu Jie quickly replied: "Reply to your majesty, he is not a minister. Student."
When Emperor Jiajing heard Xu Jie's words, he couldn't help but snorted and laughed, as if he had heard a funny joke: "I heard that Wang Youzhao regards you as his disciple. , why didn’t you recognize me when I got here?”
Xu Jie said: “Your Majesty, it’s not that I don’t recognize Wang Youzhao as my disciple, but that I was actually ordered by the emperor to supervise the examination. Wang Youzhao was a candidate who participated in the imperial examination that year. At most, I only had the fate and communication between the invigilator and the examinee. "Moreover, Wang Youzhao was lucky enough to be awarded a tribute and participated in the imperial examination. His Majesty personally accepted him as a Jinshi." . Therefore, when it comes to Wang Youzhao’s teacher-student relationship, he can only be a disciple of the emperor, not someone’s disciple.”
Emperor Jiajing laughed and said, "This answer is interesting. Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, Wang Youzhao turned out to be my student."
Xu Jie heard Emperor Jiajing's sneer. , he did not dare to take the initiative to speak, and could only wait quietly for Emperor Jiajing's next words.
Emperor Jiajing continued: "Do you know about the outer city project of the capital?"
Xu Jie replied: "I have heard a little about it."
Emperor Jiajing was dissatisfied and said: "Have you heard a little bit? There is an uproar outside, and you, a cabinet college student, actually say you have heard a little bit? Is it because the sky outside collapsed one day, and you only realized it later?"
Xu Jie was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and apologized: "I deserve to die. Please punish me!"
Emperor Jiajing was very unhappy with Xu Jie's attitude of asking for forgiveness. He really deserved to die. Why don't you go now? What about death? You still want me to punish you? Doesn’t this mean I’m going to be a bad person?
Emperor Jiajing said: "Whether you should die or not, we will discuss this later. Now I want to ask you how to deal with Wang Youzhao and how to solve the problem of the outer city project of the capital."
Xu Jie knows This is also the most critical moment.
Xu Jie also had a standard answer for Wang Youzhao's treatment.
Xu Jie replied: "The imperial court has its own laws for Wang Youzhao's crime. He has neglected his duties and is not qualified for the position of Shuntian Mansion. Your Majesty can hand it over to the Three Justices Division for investigation and questioning, so as to set the record straight."
Xu Jie sold Wang Youzhao without any hesitation, and he did so without any psychological burden.
After all, in Xu Jie's heart, he reminded Wang Youzhao more than a year ago, but Wang Youzhao turned a deaf ear to his words. Now that the capital's outer city project is facing a huge risk of stagnation, as the capital's capital, he The first person in charge, and now the specific responsibility for the outer city project of the capital still belongs to the Urban Construction Department Yamen under Shuntian Mansion. If he doesn't take the blame, who will?
So, Wang Youzhao’s fate today is all his own fault, and no one else is to blame.
But what Emperor Jiajing wanted to hear was not his opinion on how to deal with Wang Youzhao, because even if he dealt with Wang Youzhao, the project in the outer city of the capital still could not solve the problem, and the gap in money was still there.
If the problem of the silver gap cannot be solved, even killing ten more Wang Youzhao will be in vain.
So, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but ask: "What's the next question?"
Xu Jie organized his thoughts, and then thought back to the letter sent by Zhang Juzheng.
Xu Jie kowtowed and said: "I believe that extraordinary things should be dealt with in extraordinary ways! I suggest that the income from Shunyi Industrial Park be temporarily used for the outer city of the capital."
Emperor Jiajing laughed angrily when he heard this.
What the hell!
That’s my money! You guys actually kept staring!
Emperor Jiajing laughed angrily, "The money from Shunyi Industrial Park is the money from Shunyi Industrial Park. I am the emperor, and I am not a robber who blocks the road. How can I use it privately for public use? Let others pay for it. "I am building the city?"
Xu Jie quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty must not say that. This suggestion is also well-founded."
Emperor Jiajing suppressed his anger and asked: "What is the basis?"
Xu Jiedao: "When Taizu founded Nanjing as the capital, he used the wealth of the wealthy businessman Shen Wansan to build Jinling City. Now Shunyi Industrial Park They have been operating in the capital for many years and have accumulated a fortune of tens of millions. It is time for them to be loyal to the country. I hope that your Majesty will learn from Taizu's experience and give Shunyi Industrial Park the opportunity to contribute wealth to the country."
