Princess Yongfu's beautiful eyes stared at Xu Jin without blinking, and her pink fists clenched slightly, and she was eager to know the answer.

Xu Jin frowned and remained silent.

Since he had a talk with his mentor Fei Hongye that night, he suddenly realized that his energy had become so great that the ministers were afraid of. In addition, he was attacked and plotted by many forces at the court meeting, and the strangeness revealed by Jiajing's attitude, so he decisively chose to delegate power and retreated to the second line to avoid the limelight. He even used Orishi Miko to use the name of Daqing Qingming and resigned from Taibao's false title.

Therefore, greed for the title of Duke of the Kingdom and greed for enjoyment is the image that Xu Jin wants to establish. In this way, those censors who are full and are full will not stare at him, and the chief assistant Jin Xianmin will not continue to target him. As for the old Wuxun Group, they suffered too many losses in Xu Jin and regarded it as a thorn in the flesh. Therefore, no matter whether Xu Jin is released or not, they will continue to stare at Xu Jin. If Xu Jin is unlucky one day, they will still put down the wrong things without hesitation. However, in comparison, it would be much easier to be stared at by the old Wuxun Group. This is probably the so-called step back and broadening the sky. Sometimes, retreating is actually a kind of advancement.

There is no doubt that Xu Jin's strategy was very successful. Even Princess Yongfu, who was so smart, seemed to have been deceived by him, so at this time he was a little embarrassed to question Xu Jin.

Xu Jin remained silent, and Princess Yongfu kept staring at him. Obviously, if the former did not answer, she would not give up.

Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't tell Princess Yongfu that he chose to retreat bravely because he was worried about his great achievements, because this was equivalent to showing that he was worried about Jiajing's tolerance. In a feudal society where imperial power was paramount, this was also a rebellious thing. Even if you were really worried, you could not show it, let alone say it.

However, Xu Jin felt a little uncomfortable when he was misunderstood by Princess Yongfu. After hesitating for a moment, he said indifferently: "Biri, the envoy sent by Tatar Kudeng Khan (Dalaisun) will come to the capital. The emperor has ordered his ministers to be responsible for receiving the meeting."

Princess Yongfu's beautiful eyes lit up, she nodded and said, "I understand!"

This is the difference between a smart person and a fool. Princess Yongfu is undoubtedly a smart person. Although Xu Jin's answer was incorrect, she still understood it all at once!

As we all know, the Tatars were a major concern in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Jin said that he would be responsible for the reception of the envoys sent by Dalai Suen, which was telling Princess Yongfu that he was not greedy for pleasure and did not want to serve the country. On the contrary, he had always paid attention to national affairs, and even had such important matters as being connected to the Tatar envoys.

Princess Yongfu lowered her head and continued to say to herself: "In this way, is Duke Yasukuni deliberately defamed himself in the Sifang Pavilion?"

"This..." Xu Jin's face was slightly embarrassed. Sometimes talking to smart people is also a headache, especially smart women.

Seeing this, Princess Yongfu confirmed her guess. A beautiful curve was slightly raised on her lips, and a dazzling smile appeared. She whispered: "The wood is in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. It is very wise for Duke Jingguo to retreat bravely, but the behavior in the Sifang Pavilion is a bit superfluous. It is important to know that the emperor is very smart."

Xu Jin was shocked, yes, Princess Yongfu could tell that she was deliberately defaming herself. Could it be that Jiajing couldn't tell?

In fact, Jiajing did see it, but this kid himself felt guilty, so he was not guilty of Xu Jin for being cautious, so he kept pretending to be confused and even cooperated with Xu Jin to act in a play. When Xu Jin wrote a letter to resign from the title of Taibao, he replied a few times and then allowed it, which not only calmed the jealous ministers, but also the heart of Xu Jin.

Princess Yongfu saw Xu Jin's face showing a "shock" look, and quickly comforted her softly: "The emperor regards Princess Yongxiu as his own sister and is also very favored by Duke Jingguo. Since you have agreed to resign as the Taibao position, you will naturally not blame you."

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly woke up and could not be smart anymore. In history, Jiajing, who was fourteen years old, inherited the throne as a vassal king, had no foundation in the court. In the end, he squeezed away Yang Tinghe step by step and became a truly thunderous emperor. He firmly controlled the government for more than 40 years. Even Zhang Cong, Xia Yan, Yan Song, and Xu Jie were honestly allowed to help him, and no eunuch in the harem could emerge. How could such a person be an ordinary person?

Jiajing is undoubtedly extremely smart. As he grows older and his vigor is longer, his political skills will only become more and more perfect. If you play tricks in front of him, you have to be more at ease. If you treat him as a fool, you may eventually find that you are a fool.

Fortunately, Xu Jin never thought of controlling Jiajing, and had no other unfair thoughts. When he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty, his goal was to be a rich man and wait for death. Later, his goal became "great", that is, pass the imperial examination and become a county master, and lively and wait for death. Later experience made Xu Jin's goal truly great, and he wanted an unprecedentedly prosperous and powerful Ming Dynasty!

Fortunately, Jiajing is now equivalent to the semi-finished product created by Xu Jin himself. Their goal direction is the same. Xu Jin also set a very big goal for Jiajing. According to the lifespan of a normal person, it is impossible to complete it in a lifetime.

Therefore, Xu Jin was sure that he could be consistent with Jiajing's goal for the rest of his life. The two brothers spent their entire lives fighting towards a common goal. The birds were hidden and the rabbits were dead and the dogs were cooked. Of course, if Xu Jin was proud of himself, it would be a different matter.

Xu Jin bowed deeply to Princess Yongfu and said, "Thank you for your reminder from Mr. Yongfu!"

Princess Yongfu took off the mili worn on her head, revealing her beautiful face as if she was painted, put the plum blossoms under her nose and smelled them lightly, and smiled and said, "I'll bother the Duke of the Kingdom to build a Taoist temple for Yongfu. Yongfu should ask Duke of the Kingdom to thank him, let's continue shopping."

Princess Yongfu said, then walked forward lightly. When passing a flower pond, she even bent down and playfully stirred the water of the pond with the plum blossom branches in her hand.

Xu Jin couldn't help but breathe tightly. It was probably because he practiced yoga all year round. Princess Yongfu's figure was so wonderful. When she bent down, her curves were exposed. If she wore the tight fitness clothes of later generations...

Xu Jin hurriedly looked away and drove away the beautiful thoughts in his mind. At this time, Princess Yongfu turned around and said, "This pool should be increased ten times more, plant lotus flowers, and build a pavilion in the middle of the lake!"

Xu Jin estimated that the pool in front of him was more than ten square meters, which was not small. If it was expanded ten times, the yard and the next yard would have to be demolished.

"Mr. Yongfu, will it be too big to expand ten times? The entire yard has to be demolished!" Xu Jin reminded.

Princess Yongfu smiled and said, "It's just demolish it. Anyway, there are so many houses, I can't live alone. It's better to build a big lake, which is good for the summer to cool off. There is also a large lotus lake in Cining Garden. I like to spend time in the summer in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. By the way, plant willow trees by the lake."

"Uh, okay!" Xu Jin could only record it silently.

Princess Yongfu was obviously much more excited and was in high spirits. She walked along the way and pointed at her, built a flower garden here, built a small pavilion here, built a rockery here, and dug a fishing pool where to dig.

Xu Jin was no longer able to complain. Is this building a Taoist temple or a vacation villa? Mr. Yongfu, this is not what you practice, it is clearly about enjoying life!

It took more than an hour to finally go to the entire house. Xu Jin also wrote down several pages with charcoal notes. When Princess Yongfu learned that she had gone to the scene, she still looked unsatisfied.

"Do you dare to ask Mr. Yongfu what else to buy?" Xu Jin subconsciously stomped his numb legs. He really didn't understand. He was obviously a delicate little woman, but once he walked around, his endurance was so amazing.

Princess Yongfu glanced at the pages of paper in Xu Jin's hand, and shook her head a little embarrassedly and said, "No, I'm sorry, Duke Jingguo."

Princess Yongchun next to him had been a little impatient for a long time. He cheered and said, "I finally finished watching it. Let's go to the opposite mansion to have a meal. They are almost starving to death."

Princess Yongfu's pretty face turned slightly red, and she gave her sister a blank look and said, "Didn't you bring pastries?"

Princess Yongchun pouted and said, "I've eaten it all long ago!"

Xu Jin smiled and said, "I have sent someone to inform Xiaowan that the meal has been prepared. The two princesses don't dislike it, so they are invited to the house for dinner."

Princess Yongchun immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Xu Jin, you are considerate. Sister Yongfu, let's go. Anyway, everyone will be neighbors in the future. Just come back and ask Sister Xiaowan and the others."
