However, he also knew that following the emperor's advice, it was a waste of money and a thing that only a treacherous minister could do, not a wise minister should do. But now, is there any treacherous ministers and wise ministers?

If he is squeezed out of the cabinet in the near future and resigns to his hometown, will Luo Xin let him go?

If you don't do it well, it will be a situation where the family is destroyed.

Therefore, some treacherous and wise ministers only distinguish between winning and losing in the officialdom!

The winner is the king is the loser is the enemy!

In just a moment, Xu Jie figured out everything. He immediately stopped hesitating, stepped forward, bowed and bowed:

"Have your majesty calm down!"

Emperor Jiajing glared at Xu Jie and shouted in a cold voice: "What? Do you want me to live in the Great Inner?"

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "I dare not. As the saying goes, the master is worried about the insult of the minister. If Your Majesty cannot even feel comfortable in a place to live, it is my fault."

Emperor Jiajing's spirit became more relaxed, but his tone was still gloomy: "Then where did you want me to live?"

"I just estimated that because of the Maritime Bureau, the Ming Dynasty's finances are not rich, but it is no longer difficult. It can still squeeze out some silver to rebuild the Yuxi Palace. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of craftsmen who are repairing the three halls, so they can suspend the renovation of the three halls and rebuild the Yuxi Palace for His Majesty. It is estimated that it will be completed within four months. His Majesty only needs to live in the side hall for four months before they can move into the new Yuxi Palace."

After hearing Xu Jie's words, Emperor Jiajing immediately became happy. However, he still asked: "Can it be completed in four months?"

Xu Jie nodded firmly and said, "The most time-consuming thing to build a palace is to transport various materials from all over the country to the capital. Now we can bring the materials from the three halls first, and then recruit materials from various places to complete the three halls. Therefore, the time to transport materials is saved, up to four months, faster. In three months, Your Majesty will be able to move into the new Yuxi Palace."

Emperor Jiajing then realized that he could use the materials from the three halls first. Anyway, when rebuilding Yuxi Palace, the renovation of the three halls would have to stop. When the reconstruction of Yuxi Palace was completed, the materials for repairing the three halls had already been shipped. He couldn't help but pat Xu Jie on the shoulder happily and said:

"Okay! OK! Zisheng, you are really my wise minister. I still can't live without you!"

Xu Jie's heart was immediately excited. Emperor Jiajing said that he could not live without him. What does this mean? This is that Emperor Jiajing's favor for him has returned. His first step has been achieved. The next step is to spread the influence and let the officials in the court gather around him again. He had an excited look on his face, and the muscles on his face trembled, and he bowed to Emperor Jiajing:

"The weak minister is afraid."

Emperor Jiajing patted Xu Jie on the shoulder again, and then said to Huang Jin: "Parent Huang, I will write an order."

Huang Jin hurriedly ordered the eunuch to bring a small table, lay the blank imperial edict on his own, and waited with a pen, then he heard Emperor Jiajing say in a calm voice:

"The Grand Secretary Xu Jie is loyal to the emperor and loves the people, and is a model for all officials. He is a young master and a young tutor and is given a python robe."

Huang Jin immediately wrote the imperial edict and handed it to Emperor Jiajing. After Emperor Jiajing was reading it, he looked at Xu Jie with a smile. Xu Jie was flattered and immediately fell to the ground, shouting long live the mountain. For several months, a restless heart finally calmed down. At this moment, he heard the voice of Emperor Jiajing again:

"Zisheng, I remember, your eldest son is an official in Beijing, right?"

"Yes!" Xu Jiean felt the ecstasy in his heart and said to himself: "Does Your Majesty want to promote my son?"

Emperor Jiajing frowned and thought for a moment, saying, "I can't remember what official he is."

Xu Jie immediately responded: "With His Majesty's grace, the dog son has obtained an official position and works in Taichang Temple."

"Yeah!" Emperor Jiajing nodded, and then asked again: "How old are you?"

"Thirty-eight." Xu Jie said immediately.

"Yes!" Emperor Jiajing nodded and said, "You can stand alone and experience it."

Xu Jie was ecstatic and looked at Emperor Jiajing expectantly, and then he heard Emperor Jiajing say to Huang Jin: "Elevate Xu Fan to the head of the Ministry of Works and be fully responsible for the restructuring of Yuxi Palace."

Gao Gong was so angry that his face turned pale. He knew that because of his integrity, Xu Jie had regained the favor of Emperor Jiajing. It would be difficult for him to suppress Xu Jie in the cabinet in the future. However, Xu Jie paid the Ming Dynasty's finances in order to compete for favor. Now the Ming Dynasty has some money, but it has more money. However, he still cannot object.

Although he was honest, he was not stupid. He knew that at this time, if he had not allowed to build Yuxi Palace, he would not have the wisdom to be an official. He could not sit still in the cabinet. Therefore, he stood aside with a gloomy face. However, Emperor Jiajing then promoted Xu Jie to his master and young tutor and was given a python robe. This really made Gao Gong jealous. But this was not over yet. The son who was promoted to Xu Jie to rebuild Yuxi Palace was clearly a benefit to Xu Jie and subsidized the losses of the Maritime Bureau before.

This is too much!

Gao Gong couldn't help it immediately, stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!"

Emperor Jiajing smiled and became gloomy again. He squinted his eyes and looked at Gao Gong and said, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Xu Fan is not from the official imperial examination, but is just a humble official. He has never taken on a project. How could he hand over such a large project to him?"

"No one is born to know, so how can we do it without experiencing it?" Emperor Jiajing said lightly, then glanced at Xu Jie and said:

"Even if Xu Fan doesn't understand anything, you can ask Xu Jie for advice. Will Xu Jie still hide his son from his own private affairs?"

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of your son." Xu Jie knelt on the ground and kowtowed with gratitude.

"Get up!" Emperor Jiajing actually reached out and helped him.

If the ignorant people see all this, the scene of the king and his subjects getting along would make people sigh. But Gao Gong, who was standing aside, felt as if his heart was frozen. He realized that he had made the old fox Xu Jie turn over again.

Now that Luo Xin has been arrested and he has lost an ally. Xu Jie, who had thought that it was already sunny, turned over again. This made Gao Gong's heart full of tension and even a little fear. He was a little dazed and couldn't help but stagger.

Emperor Jiajing glanced at Gao Gong and said lightly: "Gao Qing is not feeling well, so go back and rest for a few days."

Gao Gong felt cold in his heart. Emperor Jiajing was really confused. However, Gao Gong was also disheartened at this time and bowed to Emperor Jiajing to leave.
