In addition to being willful, Jiajing also had another problem, that is, he used people to be wise and stupid, sometimes motivated and sometimes sinful, and there was no fixed number.

When he admires you, everything you do is right, it doesn’t matter what mistake you make. He will get tired of you. No matter what you do is wrong, and any mistake you make may be dismissed from office or even executed directly.

In short, he uses people like a crazy person, using them as a pure stream, as well as a virtuous person, and as well as corrupt officials. There is no reason or reason, it all depends on personal preference.

In the early days of Jiajing, he trusted Zhang Cong, Zhai Luan, Li Shi, Xia Yan and other Qingliu, and reformed the shortcomings of the previous dynasty, and even showed signs of a revival in the Ming Dynasty.

In the middle of Jiajing period, he trusted corrupt officials such as Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua, which ruined the administration and the capitulations in the south and the north became more and more intense, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were suffering.

In the late Jiajing period, he used wise ministers such as Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng, and inadvertently laid a solid foundation for the New Deal of Longqing and the Restoration of Wanli.

Of course, these are all history, some have happened, and some may not necessarily happen.

For example, Xia Yan should have been frustrated by Yan Song at this moment, and even dismissed from office and died, but he was still in the position of chief minister and did not move.

As for the reason, it is not that Xia Yan has become more powerful, but mainly because Yan Song is afraid of Yang Cong or the strength of Yangming's lineage, so he doesn't dare to have internal conflicts with Xia Yan.

Yang Cong knew this, so after accompanying Jiajing back to Chengtian Mansion, he began to hide his strength and hide in the School of Physics to tease his children and study science. It seemed that he had no intention of making a comeback at all.

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to keep a low profile, because his performance some time ago was too dazzling. He wrote books and invented various novel things, and built the Shuncheng Railway. Among the people, he was even called the Sub-Saint, and Jiajing also looked at him with admiration.

How can such a capable person be able to throw him aside without using him?

After Jiajing returned to the dynasty, he dealt with the backlog of government affairs and ordered people to summon Yang Cong into the palace and prepare to grant him a position and allow him to serve the country.

Of course Yang Cong knew what Jiajing was looking for him. Sometimes, if a person's light is too dazzling, he really can't hide it no matter how hard he is.

He finally understood why Yan Song had never dealt with Xia Yan, mainly because he had always made people "uneasy".

What to do?

He had no good idea, so he could only take one step and see if he could politely reject Jiajing's "good intention".

He came to the imperial study room under the order, and after performing the rituals of the king and the ministers, he stood there respectfully, silently speaking, as if he didn't know what Jiajing was looking for him.

Seeing this, Jiajing could only tentatively say: "Qingfeng, are you still busy during this period?"

When Yang Cong heard this, his eyes turned, and then pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not hiding it. I'm really busy lately. The children born to Ling'er and Zhen'er are really cute. I've coaxed this and wanted to coax that one, and I really want to split myself in half."

Well!

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless.

You guys, that's the best?

He thought about it, and then persuaded with great thought: "Qingfeng, a good man is determined by his all directions. How can he be dragged down by his children's love and stay at home and not come out?"

Yang Cong didn't dare to refute, so he could only say honestly: "Your Majesty, I understand, I will definitely change it."

Upon hearing this, Jiajing nodded with relief and said, "Is that right? During this period, I am preparing to reorganize the Zhan Shi Mansion. The prince is almost adult. It is time to establish an Eastern Palace for him and ask for an assistant minister. I have thought about it. Only you can take charge of the Zhan Shi Mansion. How about it? What do you think of this job?"

Damn, you actually asked me to be the assistant to your short-lived son!

This errand is not very good.

Yang Cong knew that the current prince was about to lose his mind, and King Yu was the one who finally inherited the throne.

The problem, he dare not tell Jiajing like this.

How do you refuse this errand?

He thought urgently, then gritted his teeth and said, "Emperor, this teaching and assisting the prince is too important, and I am afraid that I am not qualified."

Jiajing smiled and said, "Don't be humble. The disciples you taught have won the top scorer in two subjects in a row. If you are no longer qualified to teach and assist the prince, who else in the world can do it?"

Damn, I didn’t expect that the good things taught by my disciples have this “badness”.

Yang Cong thought for a while again, then pretended to be embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I am not idle, I am teasing my children at home every day. Although the railway from the capital to Jinling does not need to be supervised by me, this material is prepared and dispatched by me. Assisting the prince is really too important. I am afraid that I will delay it because of this, that would be bad."

this!

When Jiajing heard this, he was speechless again.

He proposed the railway from Beijing to Jinling by himself. Could it be that he would not have someone to build it now?

He thought about it and then stubbornly said, "It's a pity that you can't teach the prince with your knowledge. Otherwise, you can leave the preparation and dispatch materials to others."

This guy is a stubborn donkey. Once you decide on something, it will be difficult for others to change your mind.

What to do?

Yang Cong thought for a while again, and suddenly a light of inspiration appeared in his mind. I'll talk to you something, and I'll misunderstand it, and see if you're dizzy.

Thinking of this, he pretended to be a little embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not hiding it. The money involved in building the railway is really too much. I'm really not relieved to leave it to others. I'm still thinking, asking the emperor to approve it and handing it over to the operation of the railway to Weichen, to make some profits and supplement the cost of the construction."

Jiajing never thought about how much it costs to build a railway. When he heard Yang Cong say this, he immediately said curiously: "How much money did you spend on building a railway from Shuntian Prefecture to Chengtian Prefecture? What is the meaning of operation? How much can you pay for?"

Yang Cong quickly explained: "I haven't carefully calculated how much the railway from Shuntian Prefecture to Chengtian Prefecture costs. There must be hundreds of thousands of taels. This operation is actually to build more fire dragon cars to help the people transport goods or transport people directly. If the business is good, it should be no problem to earn tens of thousands of taels a year."

So that's the case.

When Jiajing heard this, he still didn't understand because he knew nothing about doing business. He really couldn't think of how to earn tens of thousands of taels this year.

He could only pretend to understand, nodded slightly and said, "Well, since you can earn tens of thousands of taels a year, then you can go and operate it. Do you think you can take some time to do this matter of the Prince of the Prof. "

Yang Cong could only pretend to be regretful and said, "Your Majesty, you see, there are so many things to build railways alone. Weichen still has to take charge of the School of Physics, and I am really afraid that the prince will be delayed. If the emperor feels that Weichen cannot teach the prince, it would be a pity that Weichen cannot teach the prince. Otherwise, you should ask King Yu to go directly to the School of Physics, or directly build King Yu's residence next to the School of Physics, and go to school nearby. The girl Ling'er said that King Yu is very well-behaved and very likable. If Weichen could accept King Yu as a disciple, she would probably be quite happy."

this!

This is a railway, an operation, a king of Yu, and a Lu Linger. Jiajing really couldn't figure it out.

His eldest son has died young, and the current crown prince is the second son Zhu Zai'er. There are also third son Zhu Zai'er and fourth son Zhu Zaizhen who are alive. They are divided into King Yu and King Jing respectively. As for the other five, six, seven or eight sons, they have all died young.

Eight princes died five of them. This kind of thing is really a bit hurt. He thought about it for a while and his head was a little dizzy. What is this?

Now he has to practice and deal with state affairs, but he doesn't have so much time to think about other things. He thought about it for a while, but still doesn't understand it, so he simply stops thinking about it.

Since Yang Cong has no time to teach and assist the prince, he can only do this first.
