In Xiyuan, a group of palaces has been formed here, which is illuminated by the rising sun.

Among the ruins of Wanshou Palace, hundreds of people were rebuilt the palace in an orderly manner. A preliminary prototype appeared here, and there were no traces of ruins.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Well done, I will let you have meat to eat every day!" A burly middle-aged official stood beside him and mobilized loudly to the busy workers.

These workers seemed to have been carefully screened, either strong or agile. Few people who are lazy and sloppy are seriously moving bricks and wood to build palaces here.

The weather today is pretty good. Although the snow on the roof has not melted yet, the spring day hangs high in the sky, making the working workers look very warm.

The middle-aged official in charge of this fortification is Xu Fan, the son of Xu Jie. During this Spring Festival this year, he spent almost all his time here. In order to rebuild the Wanshou Palace as soon as possible, he was dedicated to his duties.

Especially in the face of the ice and snow problem, he paid for the firewood and wood to make it difficult for the fortifications to be closed and delayed.

Although this errand was a little harder, he seemed full of energy and could see his bright future as he thought of working under the eyes of the emperor.

Following Yan Shifan, he was not able to emerge from the imperial examinations, but also entered the official position with his official position. The main reason for being able to become an official in the Ming Dynasty was to benefit his father Xu Jie.

But he was not from a professional background, so he didn't have much confidence. He went through the capital of the Right Army Governor's Office and the Zongren's Office. He finally got the prefect of Guangnan, Yunnan and became the prefect of a remote place.

However, his father was afraid of arousing criticism, so he submitted a memorial to help him resign, which led to his resignation as Shang Baocheng and continued to hold a free position. However, the opportunity came after all. With his father's recommendation, he was responsible for rebuilding the Wanshou Palace.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Suddenly, some movements occurred behind him. Xu Fan came back to his senses from his thoughts, turned his head in confusion and saw a little old man wearing a python robe. His face was slightly stunned and he blurted out in confusion.

"I'm a little worried, come and take a look!" Xu Jie said with a serious expression in front of his burly son.

Things in the world are wonderful! Yan Song was born tall, but Yan Shifan was short and fat, while Xu Jie was born short and thin, but he had a burly son.

Xu Fan felt quite helpless when he heard Xu Jie's words. Even though his daughter was already a wife, in his father's heart, he was still like a child.

"Fortifications should be fast, but no accidents!" Xu Jie did not feel anything wrong and immediately reminded him again.

Xu Fan hated this long-windedness, but he still honestly said, "I understand!"

"Is the worker's mood okay?" Xu Jie looked at the worker who was working again, and then asked seriously.

In order to complete the reconstruction of Wanshou Palace as soon as possible, thousands of people were mobilized this time, even if there was no rest during the Spring Festival, it would definitely be impossible to say that they were not in mood.

"These are all poor and humble people. I pay for them every day with my own pockets. They don't have any complaints!" Xu Fan felt a pain when he thought of throwing out the money.

Xu Jie frowned slightly and said in a warning tone: "You must not be careless about this matter. The workers' emotions must be comforted, and they must not cause any trouble!"

"Yes!" Xu Fan knew that his father valued this job so much. In addition to worrying that he would not be reliable in his work, he would also take action this year, so he immediately agreed solemnly.

He undoubtedly envied Yan Shifan, who had many beautiful concubines and power, and even regarded Yan Shifan as his role model.

Although he also entered the official position with his official position, Yan Shifan became the left minister of the Ministry of Works and became the actual helm of the Ministry of Works. Especially with Yan Song's age, Yan Shifan was able to enter the cabinet and became a nameless but real cabinet minister.

Once his father's plan was implemented, his father replaced Yan Song as the chief minister, and he replaced Yan Shifan's left assistant minister, thus gaining wealth and glory like the father and son of the Yan family.

That's right, when he learned that his father would take action this year, he also felt a strong ambition in his heart, an ambition to replace "Yan Shifan".

Xu Jie naturally didn't know what his son was thinking. Seeing the progress of the fortifications in Wanshou Palace seemed to be stable, he gave his son a few more words seriously, and then turned around and returned to Wuyi Palace.

Xu Jie ran into Yan Song at the door of Wuyi Palace and also saluted the old assistant respectfully. Even though he was already tense, he still maintained his superficial respect, as if he had just entered the pavilion ten years ago.

Respectful.

Yan Song nodded slightly and went to Yuxi Palace with the help of his followers.

Xu Jie did not rush into Wuyi Palace, but continued to stand there, watching the hunched figure slowly walking up the bridge, knowing that the time had come.

As the emperor moved to Yuxi Palace, this was already alienated from the originally close monarch and ministers.

Xu Jie did not take it lightly and turned around and walked towards his duty room. When he passed by Yuan Wei's door, he took a look and found that the man was honestly writing Qing Ci.

Yuan Wei also caused a disaster this time. He was originally the best candidate for the chief examiner of the examination, but he couldn't control it. His family actually took the filial piety of the candidates.

Now that the matter has been exposed, it has been known to everyone in the capital. This remark has caused Yuan Wei to be greatly questioned. If it weren't for the favor of the emperor, his position as a minister would have been, too.

It's going to shake.

Although the emperor has always been stubborn, it is related to the grand ceremony of talent sweeping, and I am afraid that he will take care of the candidates' emotions. Although he will not permanently strip Yuan Wei of the right to serve as the chief examiner, he may be under pressure. Next month

The examiner of the examination may have to look for someone else.

However, Yuan Wei caused such an unrestrained disaster, which may not be a bad thing for him. Yuan Wei had already entered the pavilion before Wushan, so he had to beware of this junior to prevent him from planning his position, thereby increasing his worries.

.

The two important opponents at the moment have been in trouble one after another, which is naturally a great thing for Xu Jie.

Xu Jie returned to the duty room with a happy mood, and the memorials of Tongzhengsi had just been delivered. Faced with these memorials, he also took them seriously and used his ability to govern the country.

In short, he can do what Yan Song cannot do, and he can do better what Yan Song can do.

Xu Jie flipped through several memorials of offering treasures, but shook his head slightly. For these treasures, these officials probably did a lot of unethical things, and they might even have human blood on them.

Huh?
Chapter completed!
