The Yamen sealed the seal, but the Holy Emperor did not completely put down government affairs.
As usual, he got up early to freshen up, sat in the imperial study, and looked through the memorials that were not urgent and therefore had not been disposed of before yesterday.
Most of the content is sent in advance by local government offices to express New Year greetings.
A few auspicious words.
Among them, several mentioned Li Shao.
After seeing it, the Holy Master put it aside and asked Cao Gonggong: "Has Xu Jian arrived?"
Eunuch Cao went outside to ask.
It was a coincidence that as soon as I stepped out of the Imperial Study Room, I looked up and saw Xu Jian.
"The Holy One asked about the Duke." Eunuch Cao rushed to greet him.
Xu Jian untied her snow coat, straightened the hem and cuffs, and then followed her into the imperial palace. After bowing respectfully, she sat down as instructed.
The Holy One took a sip of tea and said, "There were so many things going on in the past few days that I didn't even bother to ask you. After staying in Shuntian Mansion for a while, what do you think?"
This time, Xu Jian did not excuse himself from "dawling around".
To be honest, he talked about what he thought and saw during these days.
What things are being done in Shuntian Prefecture, how are they being advanced, how are they coordinating with other yamen, and what are the similarities and differences with the last time he was "in charge" of Shuntian Prefecture.
The Holy Father listened with great concentration and nodded from time to time.
Is this because the Holy One cares about his growth in the yamen?
Xu Jian knew clearly that he was indeed concerned, but behind the concern was careful consideration for the prince.
When Li Shao was young, the Holy Spirit could always take him with him and teach him some things personally.
The year before last, Li Shao moved out of the East Wing Hall of the Holy Palace and established his own East Palace.
It's not far from the palace and the royal study, but after all, it's not in front of you.
The court is busy, and the Holy Father wants to give more guidance, but he is too ambitious but not able to do so.
Furthermore, what those in higher positions see and think are not entirely consistent with the Qianbulangyamen where they are doing business and the local government.
No matter how much you listen to in the royal study, no matter how much the three orphans explain, it is just talk on paper, not more direct than going to the Yamen in person and observing the politics seriously.
Only if you understand how the yamen below do things, you will not be blinded when you sit on the throne in the future, and you will not make jokes about pretending to be a deer.
Asking the ministers to smile and embarrassing the royal family is a trivial matter.
If a layman gives random advice to an expert, it will be hard to disobey the sacred order. If the government affairs are messed up, it will be fatal.
In his early years, His Majesty had no intention of becoming an emperor. He just wanted to be an idle prince, and he never studied those things properly.
It was only when the throne fell on his head that he realized his shortcomings.
From being named the crown prince to ascending to the throne, it only took a few months. If he was determined to learn, how much could he learn?
Fortunately, the veterans left behind by the late emperor were capable and taught him step by step, helping him get through the first few years and slowly get on the right path.
The Holy Father has gone through detours himself, so he naturally does not want his son to make the same mistakes again.
Therefore, it is necessary to observe politics.
But how to observe and what insights can be gained depends on enlightenment.
To achieve enlightenment, in addition to oneself, of course one also needs someone to guide the way.
This person...
Xu Jian glanced at His Majesty.
He knew clearly that the Holy Spirit wanted him to do this.
Having grasped the Holy Spirit's thoughts, what to say and how to say it were naturally prepared before coming.
The speed of speech slowed down, Xu Jian did not speak very fast, and even stopped occasionally, pretending to think.
The Holy Spirit did not urge you.
After all, he had some free time today, so he had enough time to listen slowly.
After Xu Jian finished speaking, looking at the look on the saint's face, one could tell that he was very satisfied with the summary.
"Shan Qing praised you to me, and you praised him to me," the Holy Sage laughed, "You two get along really well."
Xu Jian lowered his eyes and said: "Master Shan is in charge of Shuntian Mansion and has his own abilities. I am not just boasting with my eyes closed."
The Holy Spirit laughed.
Praise when you do a good job.
This is normal.
He likes to hear well-founded and well-organized compliments from officials.
This shows that as a king, he employs people wisely, puts the right chess pieces in the right positions, and plays a role.
Feeling comfortable, the Holy Father said again: "You didn't just sit around and kill time. You actually saw some things and thought about a lot. I'm very pleased. Come, look at these excerpts for me."
After saying that, the Holy Emperor nodded at the basics he had picked out earlier and signaled Eunuch Cao to give them to Xu Jian.
Xu Jian took it with both hands and opened it to take a look.
Putting aside those compliments and greetings, the common point in these excerpts is "Li Shao", and they all think that the prince is young and the emperor should let him have more experience.
There is a book that I don’t know where it was sent from. I don’t know that anyone in the capital who has some winks will not mention that the prince visited Yumen last year on behalf of the emperor, and even praised the prince’s experience trip.
After he finished reading, the Holy Sage said: "I have been quite hesitant this year.
For a while, I thought that Shao'er was still young, so I should learn more from Sangu to lay a solid foundation, and then let him get into practice. For a while, I thought that if I just listen without practicing, my ideas must be naive and not practical enough.
It is this kind of naivety that makes him unsteady in his actions and always thinks out of his mind. Otherwise, you would not be hurt.
You analyze it for me, let Shaoer go to various yamen earlier to observe the government and master more practical matters, or let him calm down and follow the bosses."
Xu Jian pursed her lips.
After "thinking" for a while, he said: "Since you are telling me this in private, of course you don't want to hear some superficial talk, so I won't beat around the bush and tell the truth."
The Holy Father nodded: "You can say whatever you want, and I won't hold you accountable."
"You established the crown prince early because you had planned to leave the world in his hands. Even if other princes have outstanding abilities in the future, you will not establish another prince. And you can be so hesitant now because you are at the right time.
You are in your prime of life and in good health." Xu Jian paused and said boldly, "If you are in poor health, the imperial doctor will not be optimistic, and you will immediately kick the prince to the Qianbu Corridor to observe the politics."
Eunuch Cao was just serving tea to the Holy Sage, and his hands almost trembled when he heard this.
Listen to what Duke Fu Guo said!
To tell the truth, it’s too true!
Fortunately, the Holy One didn't care and even laughed.
Xu Jian continued: "I thought it was better to be prepared than to have any trouble. The prince said big or small. He will be seventeen next year. How can he not understand the government?"
The principle is such a principle, that is, "Be prepared and be prepared"...
Sheng glanced at the hand he was holding on the big case. The young man was really not particular about his words. He spoke as if he would die in a few years.
That's all, he doesn't care about these trivial things.
Besides, Xu Jian is right.
At seventeen, he is not mature enough, but he is old enough to understand government affairs.
"According to your idea, after the new year, let the prince start to observe the government from the six departments first," the Holy Lord had already made this decision, and also led Xu Jian in along with the flow, "You did a good job in Shuntian Mansion.
Please discuss your ideas with Shaoer and follow him to observe politics after the new year."
