My father is Jiajing

Chapter 356 Life is so difficult

Xu Jie's words made Emperor Jiajing laugh again.

In the past, Emperor Taizu used Shen Wansan's money to build the city of Nanjing, but afterwards Emperor Taizu got rid of Shen Wansan, confiscated his property and exiled him.

Now everyone knows that the palace is behind the Shunyi Industrial Park. Xu Jie actually said that he would use the palace's money to repair the outer city of the capital, and even cited the example of Shen Wansan. I really don't know whether he was crazy or did it on purpose.

Moreover, in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, Shunyi Industrial Park was a cash cow, and he was very reluctant to let anyone get involved in it.

But after Xu Jie finished speaking, Emperor Jiajing did not stop thinking. It seemed that this was the only way to temporarily maintain the construction of the outer city of the capital and thus maintain the dignity of the court.

Therefore, even if Emperor Jiajing was unhappy, he did not continue to be angry at this time.

Emperor Jiajing simply said: "Even if Shunyi Industrial Park has good intentions, it has no legitimate reason to do so. If they let others come out with real money to work for the court, how will people in the world view the court if this gets out?"

Xu Jie said: "Your Majesty, the ancients said: In an emergency, we must make decisions based on our discretion. Since the court wants to use the money from Shunyi Industrial Park to do things, we must give them a suitable name so that they can participate without any worries."

"Therefore, I suggest that this matter be discussed with Prince Yu first. Once a suitable plan is found, the court will finalize and announce the plan. This way, not only can the urgent need for the capital's outer city project be resolved, but Prince Yu can also earn a good reputation for being loyal to the country and filial to the emperor."

Emperor Jiajing could not help but laugh again. These bastards were really calculating, and besides, they made Emperor Jiajing vent his anger.

After all, if Emperor Jiajing insisted on not allowing this matter, the construction of the outer city of the capital would inevitably face the risk of stagnation immediately.

Once this kind of contribution happens, it will no longer be a simple matter of money, but a more important issue of face and politics.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing also said: "I will consider this matter. But now there is another question that you should think about carefully. After Wang Youzhao, who should succeed as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture and take charge of this first prefecture in the world for me."

At this time, before Yan Song could react, Xu Jie immediately bowed and said, "I recommend Hu Zongxian, the Huguang Circuit Inspector who is reporting to the capital! Hu Zongxian has the talent to govern the local areas. Whether in Yidu County, Shandong, or in Datong, Xuanfu and other places, he has rich experience and ability to govern the local areas. Therefore, I recommend Hu Zongxian as the new Shuntian Prefecture Governor, and he will continue to be responsible for the outer city engineering of the capital."

When Xu Jie said this, both Yan Song and Emperor Jiajing were slightly stunned.

This recommendation exceeded the expectations of Emperor Jiajing and Yan Song.

Because in their understanding, Xu Jie and Hu Zongxian seemed to have no intersection, and the two had no private interactions.

However, Xu Jie recommended Hu Zongxian without hesitation, which makes people think carefully about what was going on.

Yan Song looked at Xu Jie with slight astonishment. He thought of what Zhao Wenhua and his son Yan Shifan had said some time ago. At that time, Zhao Wenhua and Yan Shifan wanted to recommend Hu Zongxian to go to Zhejiang.

As a result, Xu Jie now actually wants to recommend him to be the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Could it be that Hu Zongxian is betting on both sides?
This is a big taboo in officialdom.

However, this was not the time for Yan Song to consider Hu Zongxian's character.

Emperor Jiajing pondered for a while, "I have some impression of Hu Zongxian. He is a talented person. Let him try first, and then change him if he fails. Today's matter ends here. When you go back, ask the three judicial departments to issue an official document to arrest Wang Youzhao and hand him over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. As for the matter of Shunyi Industrial Park, I need to think about it again."

After saying these words, Emperor Jiajing sent Yan Song and Xu Jie away. After leaving Yuxi Palace, Xu Jie immediately supported Yan Song actively like a good son.

"Slow down, sir. Be careful with the steps."

Yan Song heard Xu Jie's caring words and smiled slightly, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Shao Hu."

After walking a few steps, Yan Song asked casually, "Why did Shaohu want to recommend Hu Zongxian as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture?"

Xu Jie knew that Yan Song would definitely ask this question.

To be honest, before coming here, Xu Jie would definitely not recommend Hu Zongxian to be the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.

However, after reading Zhang Juzheng's letter, Xu Jie changed his mind. He felt that recommending Hu Zongxian would indeed confuse Yan Song and prevent them from guessing what was going on.

Therefore, after some thought, Xu Jie followed Zhang Juzheng's suggestion in the letter and recommended Hu Zongxian without hesitation when Emperor Jiajing asked about the new prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.

As for the Shunyi Industrial Park mentioned earlier, it was Zhang Juzheng who gave his opinion on it.

To be honest, Xu Jie also resisted this opinion.

But the current situation is that the situation is stronger than the person, and he has no way to produce silver. If he is implicated by Wang Youzhao again and loses the emperor's favor, he will not even have a chance to turn the situation around.

Therefore, instead of temporarily offending the emperor over this matter, it is better to proactively propose a solution to the problem.

As for whether this plan will work in the end, that is not his problem, but a matter of the emperor's thinking.

Therefore, in this extremely risky operation, Xu Jie managed to escape successfully and ensure his own safety.

Xu Jie smiled and replied, "Lord, I am also recommending talents for the country. I have seen Hu Zongxian's resume and ability in recent years. It just so happens that the capital has encountered such a thing this time. I believe that no one will be willing to fight for the new Shuntian prefect. Wang Youzhao is not an incompetent and inactive person, and Hu Zongxian happens to be in the capital, so I recommended him after careful consideration."

Yan Song listened to Xu Jie's words and laughed, "Hu Zongxian is indeed capable. I was thinking of recommending him to go to Zhejiang to assist Zhang Jing in dealing with the Japanese invasion. Now it seems that I have to think of other candidates."

Xu Jie said, "Please forgive me, Lord. I never thought that you still had such high hopes for Hu Zongxian. I really shouldn't have ruined your plan at this time."

Yan Song waved his hand and said, "Forget it, the capital's affairs are equally urgent. Besides, the Japanese in Zhejiang are just a few small fish, which can't cause any trouble. Zhang Jing is enough. The question we should consider now is whether His Majesty will agree to use the money from Shunyi Industrial Park. That is His Majesty's favorite. If anyone dares to touch it, the consequences will be very serious."

Yan Song intentionally or unintentionally provoked Xu Jie, making Xu Jie feel very nervous.

Although he used this excuse to temporarily overcome the current crisis, if too much money was drained from the Shunyi Industrial Park, Emperor Jiajing would definitely not let him go when he came to his senses.

So, at this moment Xu Jie also felt that life was so difficult. Why were there pitfalls everywhere?
