In fact, it is only the Ministry of Accounts that is urgent about this matter. Other yamen have a non-concerned attitude. Even the Ministry of Works may be a little complacent.

However, under this situation, the Minister of Industry did not say anything. After all, all decisions depended on the attitude of Xiyuan.

As long as he insists on repairing the palace, the Ministry of Works will have work to do and make money. If Mr. Yan Ge and others have the ability to persuade His Majesty not to repair the palace, then that is their ability.

"I know. We will discuss this matter with His Majesty when we come down."

Yan Song could only agree to Gao Yao's request first. In fact, he also knew the situation of the household department. It was the end of the year and all the money that should be used had been allocated. If it was really necessary to rebuild at this time, there would be no money to purchase materials.

If you have to withhold the salary and annual gifts at the end of the year, I'm afraid the officials in the capital will scold you.

After appeasing Gao Yao, everyone else stood up and said goodbye. Only Li Chunfang was the last in line. She did not leave after leaving the lobby, but waited outside for Yuan Wei to come out.

After a while, Yuan Wei also came out to check in his room. He was a little surprised to see Li Chunfang still outside.

"Old Yuan Ge."

Li Chunfang raised her hands and shouted respectfully.

"Zishi, what's the matter with you?"

When Li Chunfang called him "Elder Pavilion", Yuan Wei didn't think anything of it. He was a little excited when he was called that a few days ago, but now he is immune.

"Mr. Pavilion, what do you think the Ministry of Rites should do with your Majesty's edict today?"

Li Chunfang asked honestly.

"Just follow it. His Majesty made it clear in his decree. Just go back and make arrangements. Then we will communicate with the British Duke and the Prince Consort first."

Yuan Wei replied with a half-smile, and then slowly walked towards his room, while Li Chunfang followed closely.

In fact, he understood that maybe Li Chunfang was confused by some of his previous operations, so he wanted to learn from him and learn some experience in inviting favors. However, the experience should not be taught lightly. How could he just tell you what to do casually?

Do.

"Mr. Ge, should the Ministry of Rites issue a memorial to explain the situation?"

Seeing Yuan Wei's attitude, Li Chunfang had no choice but to continue.

"After the arrangements have been made, I will definitely submit a memorial to His Majesty for his inspection."

Yuan Wei still has the same attitude.

"Mr. Yuan Ge, you are an old man from the Ministry of Rites. Please give me some advice on what to do. When you were still in the Ministry, the Ministry of Rites only followed your lead.

Now His Majesty has not appointed the Minister of Rites, and I, as a minister, do not dare to make random decisions, so I would like to ask the elder to give me some advice."

After Li Chunfang finished speaking, she looked at Yuan Wei eagerly, hoping to get what he wanted from him.

This time, Yuan Wei didn't know what to do.

Some people may think that it would make them happy to have others ask for things from them, but in fact there is a limit, and too much is not enough.

If you are too harsh, no matter whether you help or not, in the end, you will end up with an enemy.

Those who can reach the third-grade official position are easy.

Now that you are superior to him in official position, you can point fingers at him and look very majestic, but who knows that one day you will turn around and demand to go to the other party.

Moreover, although Yuan Wei's entry into the cabinet seemed to have reached the pinnacle of power in the Ming Dynasty, don't forget that the cabinet, strictly speaking, actually had no power at all.

The cabinet is the buffer between the court and the emperor.

Moreover, the cabinet must rely on the six ministries to implement its policies. This is why Yan Song tried so hard to get the position of official of the six ministries. Without these people, his idea would not be realized at all.

Of course, this is also mutual achievement.

If the boss eats meat, the brothers below will naturally want to drink soup.

Li Chunfang saw that Yuan Wei was silent and knew that he was thinking about this matter.

They are all understanding people and there is no need to speak too clearly.

Before, Yuan Wei left the Ministry of Rites after all, so there was no need to consider this issue. Now that Li Chunfang came to ask for help, he naturally believed that something should be done.

After a long time, Yuan Wei looked around. When no one was paying attention, he whispered to Li Chunfang: "Zi Shi, after returning to the ministry, I will report it in the name of the Ministry of Rites, saying that I have received the blessing of heaven and asked all the officials in the world to fast and meditate.

"

Li Chunfang was overjoyed when she heard this. Yuan Wei was indeed the best.

There was a fire. Emperor Jiajing was unscathed, so he thanked God and asked for sacrifice. Unexpectedly, he was instantly elevated to the level of the world by Yuan Wei.

The sacrifices required by the emperor have been performed, and all officials in the world should be grateful to God, so they should all fast and meditate.

News about Xiyuan and the cabinet had now reached Prince Yu's Mansion.

"Uncle, do you think Mr. Ge can stop His Majesty from rebuilding Yongshou Palace?"

At this moment, Yin Shizhen said with some worry.

"It's hard to say. Of course Mr. Ge understands the plight of the court. He can only say that he will do his best to follow fate."

Zhang Juzheng didn't know if it was possible. After all, according to past experience, Emperor Jiajing would usually ask for reconstruction after being burned, and this time Yongshou Palace would be no exception.

"It's a sad year end."

Wei Guangde said something on the side.
