Sima Guang said in "Zizhi Tongjian": "A man is smart and strong, and he is virtuous, and he is honest and neutral." ”

Concubine Zhou Defei was able to be canonized as Concubine De and stayed in the position of Concubine De for many years, which shows his evaluation in the emperor's heart.

In the emperor's heart, Concubine Zhou Defei herself is a person who is kind to others, does not tell right and wrong, and rarely gives eye medicine to others, that is, such a person, even mentioning this kind of thing in front of him, this credibility is naturally extremely high. And Concubine Zhou De, no, it should be said that Zhou Guifei's current clumsy appearance shows his dissatisfaction with Jia Yuanchun, and he insisted on suing Jia Yuanchun in front of the emperor even though he knew that he would not sue.

The emperor felt that even if Concubine Zhou's words were not very good, they were also the truth.

But because Zhou Guifei told the truth, the emperor had to express his anger even if he had a high degree of trust in Zhou Guifei, because talking about right and wrong behind his back was not the proper character of a palace concubine: "Zhou, as a concubine, you should know what virtue is." After that, no matter if Zhou Guifei was still kneeling underground, she brushed her sleeves away.

This is the first time in many years that the emperor has been so faceless to Zhou Guifei.

The emperor disappeared with people, and Zhou Guifei's henchman Yumo, who had just been promoted to Sizan's dowry girl, came over to help her master: "Niangniang, why are you angry for this." ”

Zhou Guifei sighed, stood up with the support of Zhou Sizan, and said, "Although I am the imperial concubine, I am the daughter of the Zhou family after all. Since I entered the palace, my father and mother don't know how much thought they have put on me, even my brother. It also takes more effort than others to be recognized, otherwise, no matter how good it is. In the eyes of others, the father and brother are villains who come up by nepotism after all. Not only could I not do anything for the family, but I had to drag down my parents and brothers, and I even faintly heard that the family had not only stopped buying ancestral fields for the sake of the upcoming provincial relatives. There is also a sign of selling the fields outside! How does this make! ”

Because of the agitated mood, Zhou Guifei even forgot to use the word "Bengong" and directly used "I".

Zhou Guifei said: "If you sell your land and build a provincial villa, it is really beneficial to the country and the people. I, this palace may admit it. It's a pity that we are afraid that we will endure it, but the benefits will be obtained by one person. The consequences were borne by Banzai. ”

Zhou Sizan Zhou Yumo said: "Niangniang." You mean, there's another article in there? ”

Zhou Guifei said: "Yes." ”

The rest of the female officials on the side who were at the same level as Zhou Sizan immediately came over to help Zhou Guifei sit down, and brought tea over, and said: "Niangniang, since the canonization, you have been frowning, laughing in front of people, but often sitting alone in front of the lamp and candle until dawn. Is it because you see something. ”

Zhou Guifei nodded and looked at the many female officials, palace maids, and chamberlains around her. looked at the open palace gate again, sighed, and said, "That's it, this palace only says it once, you all keep it in mind, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future." This palace knows that some of you have been wondering in your hearts, why this palace has been frowning since the beating of the concubine, why this palace not only did not raise its eyebrows after being promoted, but was more cautious in words and deeds than before, and even repeatedly restrained you, not allowing you to go out lightly. You must know that before the promotion of the palace, she was already the concubine of the four concubines, and in the absence of the imperial concubine in the palace, the palace was only under the queen mother and the concubine. In the past, the concubines were either vacant or childless, and the queen mother had two princes under her knees, and they were not young. There is a noble concubine between the palace and the queen's mother, so the two princes of the queen's mother are young but noble, but the identity of the palace is slightly worse than that of the seven years old. In this way, the queen mother can be at peace with the palace and Concubine Wu Xian, and Xiao Qi of the palace can also maintain peace of mind when facing the two younger brothers. But now? Between the queen mother and the palace, there is only one imperial concubine who will not allow people, that is to say, as long as the queen mother is healthy, there will be no imperial concubine in the palace, and the palace or Concubine Wu is only one step away from the queen. Isn't this forcing the queen to fight to the death with the palace and Concubine Wu? Even if they are Little Six and Little Seven, there will be people who encourage them to go to the next level. Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi are already princes, do they still need to be motivated? The lessons of Zhao Duanconcubine and the second prince are still in front of you! “

Why is the second prince disliked, isn't it because he is motivated? Why was Zhao Duanconcubine degraded, is it not because he didn't manage his mother's family well and let his mother's family encourage his son to fight? !

Zhou Guifei was very happy, because the Seventh Prince was her adopted son, not her own flesh and blood, so she was able to think more when she was acting, and she was able to maintain a relatively peaceful attitude when she spoke and did things. Otherwise, Zhao Duanconcubine, who has already entered the cold palace, is his role model.

Zhou Guifei hesitated for a while before she said, "You remember, this palace does not seek to be illustrious in the future. The palace is already a concubine, and the position of the queen's mother is not something that the palace can want. As long as the palace is honest and safe, Xiao Qi will also do his duty as a prince, and it will be beneficial. And your future is also following this palace. Slaves who are too ambitious, slaves who betray their masters, you also know what will happen. ”

Concubine Ji Shu came to power by relying on Empress Yuan, and he still stepped on Empress Yuan to come to power. But so what? Before, the queen mother was busy arguing with Li Guifei, and she didn't have time to clean him up, and when Li Guifei died, the queen mother immediately found an opportunity to clean up this thing that the backer was doing behind her back.

Concubine Ji Shu is already the one who climbs high and fast among the palace people, and he is still like this, not to mention others.

The most taboo thing in the palace is to betray the master and calculate his own master. In the same way, it is impossible for an ungrateful person to live well.

Hearing what Zhou Guifei said, many female officials understood why their mothers were not favored much, but why they were able to rise steadily in the palace.

In the palace, there is no shortage of ambitious concubines, and there is no shortage of concubines with clear minds, but there are not many concubines with clear minds who can understand their own positioning, and even control the ambitions of themselves and their families.

The reason why the queen was able to sit firmly on the throne of the queen was because his family fulfilled him. The queen's maiden family is prominence. But the queen has no brothers, only cousins and clan brothers, and the queen's family is not close to the queen. This also allowed the emperor to be at ease with the empress and the empress's maiden family.

As for Concubine Wu Xian and Concubine Zhou De, not only because their family has always followed behind the emperor, but more importantly, Concubine Wu Xian and Concubine Zhou Defei are not arrogant or impatient, and when they are favored, they will not rely on favor to ask for this and that for the family, and when they are noble, they will not be bullied by the family, but ask the family to be cautious in their words and deeds. It was precisely because of their behavior that the emperor was reassured of them.

Even if the emperor knew that these two concubines had desires in their hearts. knows that these two concubines regard him as a king and not a husband, but these two concubines can also know and understand while having their own careful thinking and calculus. has never been on the line, so the emperor also trusts these two concubines very much.

And the two concubines Wu and Zhou also know very well that in the court, they want to live well. That trust must be maintained. The emperor's favor is easy to get. The emperor's love comes and goes quickly, and only the emperor's trust is long-lasting, and it is the talisman of their concubines.

Zhou Guifei has also been working hard to manage this trust.

Zhou Guifei said: "This is the plan of this palace. As long as Xiao Qi is good, it is enough to be a virtuous king, and this palace only hopes that he can grow old safely in the position of Concubine De. It's a pity that some people don't let this palace feel better. It's okay to be flattering and petting, but he uses the palace and the palace Xiaoqi to pave the way for him. Think about it, this palace has now become a concubine, and Xiao Qi is the same as Xiao Liu. became the adopted son of the concubine, in the absence of the imperial concubine in the palace. They are the most noble princes under the prince! Xiao Qi is young and young, if someone says something in Xiao Qi's ear, Xiao Qi is at the age of blood and strength, and is moved by those people, what should he do if he has extravagant hopes that he shouldn't think? The palace and Xiao Qi can't fight the queen's mother, but what if you add Concubine Wu and the six princes? If the queen's mother, the palace, and Concubine Wu fight to the death, who will be the last powerful person? Behind that one stood the four kings and eight dukes, who were inextricably linked to the emperor, what did they want to do, how could they be so easy to dodge? ”

The female palace people present immediately turned white. Yes, now the queen is the mother of the country, and there are two princes, naturally they are noble, under the queen, they are Wu Guifei and Zhou Guifei, each of whom has an adopted son, and these two princes are likely to be their only children. Further down, is Jia Yuanchun, a virtuous concubine who has just been promoted. He is young, no more than the queen and Wu Guifei and Zhou Guifei, he is already in his thirties, and it is unlikely that he will have his own biological flesh and blood in the future. Moreover, Wu Guifei and Zhou Guifei, if the six princes and the seven princes are folded in, it is unlikely that they will want to raise another one in the future. In other words, the sixth prince and the seventh prince are likely to be the only children of Wu Guifei and Zhou Guifei in this life, and they are the support of them in the next life, and they are also the support of these female officials and palace people.

As for Jia Yuanchun, he has just come up, he is young, and his position is only below the queen and Wu Guifei and Zhou Guifei, whether he gives birth to one by himself or raises one in the future, it will be the road. It can even be said that if the queen, Wu Guifei, and Zhou Guifei fight to the death, it will just make way for him.

Knowing this, the faces of the female officials and the palace people became more and more humble: "It is the slaves and maids who make the mother worried." ”

Zhou Guifei sighed and said: "Sister Wu is a careful person, and she is smarter than this palace, I thought that he would fall, and I also saw through this." If it weren't for Concubine Wu's sister's appearance, the palace would not have thought of the bloody storm during the reign of Emperor Taishang. ”

Zhou Sizan Zhou Yumo knew what he meant when he heard the strings, and immediately said: "But Niangniang, why did you say that in front of Banzai, why didn't you directly tell Sù Banzai about your worries?" ”

It is also the duty of these minions to show their ignorance at the right time, and to set off the wisdom and wisdom of their masters. What's more, it's such an important thing, and it's even more important to set up a stage for your master.

At this point, this Yumo is obviously an extremely smart person and has done an excellent job, so it is no wonder that he can become Zhou Guifei's right and left hand.

Zhou Guifei shook her head and said, "Building a provincial villa is a big deal for any concubine. If you want the mother's family of this palace to give money, you should also let this palace know the reason, right? This palace inquired about this, although it was not very proper, but it was also within the acceptable range of Banzai. But if it was the palace that just said those words. It was only a speculation made by the main palace on the basis of the existing information, and there was no human or physical evidence. If this palace directly said this to Banzai, even if he knew that what Bengu said was true. There will also be a suspicion of the main palace. ”

Zhou Guifei knows very well that naïve people can't live long in the palace, and it is impossible for thoughtful characters to let people see that you have a last resort, otherwise, others will join forces to trap you. A person who can really live well in the palace does not necessarily have great wisdom. But be smart. Of course, even if you are a little clever, you can't survive without a bit of luck.

The court is such a place.

People who are too smart don't live long. People who are not smart enough will not live long.

People who are not smart enough but survive either have a good family background to shelter them, or there are people above them. The most typical example. It's the Queen.

As the granddaughter of Emperor Taizu's princess. This queen mother has royal blood on her body, so when Queen Yuan and the three concubines competed for favor, no one dared to do anything to this concubine with royal blood on her body, even if Queen Yuan and the three concubines fought to the death, they all chose to avoid the current queen who was still a concubine at the time, and even occasionally helped the current queen avoid the calculations of the harem.

This is the ability to be reincarnated.

If the current empress didn't have the blood of Emperor Taizu in her body, I'm afraid he would have hung up a long time ago. Even now. The Emperor Taishang and the current Banzai are both powerful behind their backs, but these two still coincidentally chose to protect the two princes born by the current queen.

Because these two princes are the purest princes of blood. No matter who wins in the end, as long as these two princes ascend to the throne, they can ensure the interests of the royal family in the greatest way.

Zhou Guifei knows this very well. Moreover, as an old rival and old friend, Zhou Guifei also knew that Wu Guifei knew this as well. Therefore, no matter whether the two of them are uniting with each other or calculating behind their backs, they dare not do anything to the queen mother and the two princes of the queen mother, and even restrain their adopted son and their own family. Because they know very well that unless the Emperor Taishang and the current emperor are disgusted with the queen mother at the same time, no one can shake the status of the queen mother.

It is because they understand this that whether it is Zhou Guifei or Wu Guifei, they compete for favor, but they are always respectful and respectful in front of the queen.

In Zhou Guifei's opinion, only the queen mother in this palace is because she has a good background, which can let the emperor and the emperor protect her, what is Jia Yuanchun? In the palace, like Jia Yuanchun, there are more women who have won favor all of a sudden, just like the previous Li Guifei.

Concubine Li always thought that if he hadn't been born a few years later, the queen's throne would have been captured, but she didn't know that the emperor actually wanted to use his maiden family to promote him so much. As a result, Concubine Li was unscrupulous and did not give face to the queen many times, what happened in the end? gave birth to a daughter who was still sick and crooked, and she didn't raise her at all, and she left earlier than Concubine Li. Even Concubine Li herself was finished not long after her mother's family was destroyed.

In Zhou Guifei's opinion, this Jia Yuanchun is not as good as Concubine Li. At least Concubine Li still has a prominent maiden family, and she is also sincere to the emperor. Even though the emperor was scheming against Concubine Li behind his back, he also deceived Concubine Li for a lifetime, so that Concubine Li lived in the emperor's lies until she died, thinking that the emperor was sincere to him, and that he could not accompany the emperor for a long time because his luck was not good enough.

But what about this Jia Yuanchun? The reputation of her parents is discredited, and she has an uncle who is suspected of conspiracy, and more importantly, this woman's eyes are full of calculations, glory and wealth.

In the palace, it is not uncommon for the heart to be calculating, and it is also the norm to yearn for glory and wealth. But the owner of this gorgeous cage, whether it is the emperor or the current emperor, is a person who has been accustomed to the ugliness of women's intrigue since he was a child. Such people may tolerate women intriguing behind their backs, but they will never allow women to do anything to their sons, let alone allow women to calculate on their heads.

In fact, Zhou Guifei still has a lot to say, because he knows that the emperor will definitely make up for it.

Jia Yuanchun was selected to enter the palace, and has been staying in the palace Zhengsi, who is directly responsible for the queen, starting from a scholar, through the history of books, female sages, and has been climbing up from the fourth grade of female history, almost a year to a higher level, among female officials, he is considered to climb fast. Such a person, in addition to his family background, is naturally a person who can talk and please the above.

Zhou Guifei can imagine that Jia Yuanchun was facing the emperor. must have said a lot of beautiful things to the emperor, making the emperor fluttering and making the emperor feel it. Letting more concubines go home to save their relatives will allow the inner government to get more money back. That's why the emperor canonized the harem on a large scale, so that more concubines could build provincial villas at home. And Jia Yuanchun can also take the opportunity to sell well with those concubines.

As an old man in the palace, Concubine Zhou knows very well how stingy the current emperor is to canonize the concubine. Prior to this, there was no one in the position of the concubine, Concubine Ji Shu was deposed as a concubine, and Concubine Zhao Duan was demoted to a concubine. Half of the four concubines are vacant, and there are only four of the nine concubines plus Zhao Duan's concubines. But after Jia Yuanchun offered advice, he and Concubine Wu were promoted to concubines. Jing Concubine, Xuan Concubine and Chang Concubine were all promoted to become Jing Concubine, Xuan Concubine and Chang Concubine, and the four concubines still had a vacant position, not to mention, but the nine concubines were full. And that's not all. Those concubines who have a good family background but have not been canonized for various reasons. was also crowned with the name of Jieyu, located above the nobles under the concubines.

Zhou Guifei knew very well that even if she knew that building a provincial villa was not a good thing for her mother's family, it would not prevent some people from being grateful to Jia Yuanchun.

Zhou Guifei also knew very well that if the emperor knew that many people in the harem were grateful to Jia Yuanchun, then Jia Yuanchun's future would not be long.

The people in the palace. A word can be broken, crushed, and pondered for many days, not to mention such an important matter as the large-scale canonization of the harem. When the emperor first started. may think that Jia Yuanchun has indeed helped him solve a lot of problems, if the emperor has always held this kind of thought, then it is not a good thing for him Zhou Guifei, Zhou Guifei's maiden family, and his Zhou Guifei's adopted son, the Seventh Emperor.

Concubine Zhou Guifei couldn't let the emperor trust this hot virtuous concubine. And thankfully, this virtuous concubine is not the kind of egg that has no sewing.

Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of rats will make holes.

This may not necessarily be true, but it is a very cruel reality. No matter what Jia Yuanchun himself is, his parents' actions and reputation will definitely affect him. For the sake of glory and wealth, a big brother who can calculate his mother's compatriots while letting his elderly mother carry the black pot for him, a nephew who can brutally kill his sister-in-law and his nephew, and even be able to buy off his subordinates to attack the serious first-class general who has been canonized by the imperial court and is not afraid of retribution. Coming from such a family itself determines that Jia Yuanchun's reputation is not very high, not to mention, Jia Yuanchun himself is not at fault at all.

What Zhou Guifei wanted was to make the emperor suspicious of Jia Yuanchun.

The canonization of concubines is the emperor's will, but everyone's gratitude is directed at Jia Yuanchun, what will the emperor think in his heart?

It turned out that the quiet harem, because of Jia Yuanchun's construction, the queen and the two concubines were involved, and some people even forced the six princes and the seven princes to compete for favor with the two princes, who will bear the consequences?

What's more, after experiencing the initial ecstasy, the concubines found that their mothers had to smash pots and sell iron and even build sacrificial fields to build any provincial villas, and who would bear their dissatisfaction?

Once you are suspicious, you are suspicious of your neighbor's axe. The little things that were previously overlooked will be magnified and countless things will be revealed.

Zhou Guifei saw it very clearly, he didn't need to say anything, there were smart people in the palace, and these smart people knew very well when they could say something. Therefore, as long as there is one person taking the lead, the direction of the wind will naturally change.

That's why Zhou Guifei will express her stance with the emperor and make the emperor suspect Jia Yuanchun.

Now it's time to buy people's hearts and encourage the prince to fight with the six princes and the seven princes, and after the six princes and the seven princes have an accident, do you take advantage of the time when your father is sad for the sake of the two sons to design the queen and the two princes? When he has a prince, will he design the emperor to fight to the death with him, and finally let his mother and son ascend to the throne of the queen mother?

As long as someone takes the lead, dark thoughts will pop up like weeds. 、

Who let Jia Yuanchun have such bad parents?

As for why he chose to speak for Concubine Wu while picking himself out, it was just because his lips were cold and his teeth were cold. He and Wu Guifei are both concubines, and they have no biological flesh and blood, and they both raised a prince. Among them, whoever falls, the other must directly face the queen mother and the queen's two sisters-in-law, so they help each other and cover each other. Fighting each other is the correct posture to reassure the above, and it is also the correct posture to protect yourself.

I have to say. Zhou Guifei knew the current emperor very well.

After the current emperor left Concubine Zhou's palace, he did not go to the harem, nor did he go to the queen's Fengyi Palace, but went directly back to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

To be able to climb to the throne of the Ninety-Five, the current emperor is naturally not stupid. He vaguely felt that something was wrong before, but no one had reminded him, and now he was told by Zhou Guifei. Immediately knew that I had made a big mistake.

"Come on, go and check what the situation is in the inner house. Other than that. I also went to find out what the condition of the maiden family of those concubines was. There is also the Jia family, no matter how big or small. ”

Immediately, there was a secret guard.

It was only a few days, and the result was placed in front of the emperor. After the emperor saw it, he turned everything on the imperial case to the ground on the spot.

That's right. If you don't look at the total cost of those concubines' maiden families. There are also various detailed bills, and the account books of the inner house are indeed good-looking. Glass and glass products, which are run by the government of the Inner Palace, what glass mirrors, glass palace lamps, glass tea sets, these are all exclusive operations of the Inner Palace, except for the shops of the Inner Palace, there is no place to buy them if there is money in other places, and there are also porcelain from the official kiln. It is also exclusively operated by the Inner House, these. It's all about making money. But that's the case, the glass window is still at a loss. Of course, large pieces of glass are worth more than those small pieces or even broken glass, but the glass windows of the inner house are priced according to a whole piece of large glass, and some people outside actually buy the broken glass, and then polish it and put it together into a variety of flower windows, not to mention the beautiful appearance, the price is cheaper than the glass windows of the inner house!

In addition, what wood, stone, and even silk and satin for decoration, the inner house is in a state of loss.

Comparing the total amount of investment of the concubines, and looking at the account books of the inner house, the final income of the imperial court turned out to be only a fraction. The only benefit that the imperial court has gotten is that this year's homeless people have found a job to do!

The emperor also paid special attention to the affairs of the Jia family, especially the account book of the Xue family, and someone really copied a copy and sent it in.

On the imitation Taihu Lake stone, the Xue family did make a lot of money. The Xue family started from Jia Jiu's hand at the price of one tael of silver and one stone, and there was nothing wrong with it. What he sold to the Wu family and the Zhou family was six taels of silver, and the minions of the Wu family and the Zhou family reported seven taels of silver to the people of their own family, because the Xue family sold seven taels of silver to Zhao Duan's maiden family, and the price of selling to the rest of the concubines was eight taels, and the maiden family sold to those Jieyu was ten taels. And the account book of the Jia family recorded twelve taels of silver and one stone.

On these imitation Taihu stones, the Xue family earned at least seven million taels of silver, which was almost comparable to the property of the Lin family.

Even the emperor himself had to admit that the Xue family was thick-skinned and black-hearted. It was obviously something that Jia Jiu gave away almost for nothing, but they even dared to do it.

Under the anger, the emperor did not forget a detail, that is, after knowing that Lin Ruhai died, Mrs. Wang encouraged Jia's mother to calculate the Lin family's property several times, but Jia Jiu stopped her. And these stones, obviously, Jia Jiu couldn't hold it in the end, so he took them out to block Mrs. Wang's mouth.

Looking at these account books, the emperor couldn't help but say: "What an inner house, a good Xue family!" Playing me like a monkey! And this Jia Jiu, he has always been a smart person, how could he not guess the real reason why I let these concubines repair the provincial villa? Ignoring the grace of God! Ignoring the grace of God! ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Wang Jien hurriedly came up to help the emperor sit down, and gave the emperor a good breath: "Long live, why are you so angry." If you are angry with yourself, you are afraid that it is others who are happy. Moreover, Jia Junjun has always been arrogant, which is very different from the virtuous concubine. If you let Jia Junjun know the real reason why you let you go home to save your relatives, I am afraid that I will have to stalk my neck and admonish. ”

The emperor said angrily: "You still help him speak!" ”

Wang Jien said: "Long live, haven't you seen it yet? This Jia Junjun threw out these imitation Taihu Lake stones, not for the provincial villa of the virtuous concubine Niangniang, but for the whole Wang family? ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you say?" ”

Wang Jien said: "Long live, do you still remember when Her Royal Highness the princess repaired the garden, and how the imperial history platform was impeached?" ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled.

That's right, the big shopkeeper of the Cao family's general cabinet fooled the Wu family's minions, saying that the stone that Jia Jiu transferred to the Xue family was made by him for Princess Changle's garden before. But in fact, the emperor himself knew very well that Princess Changle's princess mansion was supervised by the inner government, and he didn't do Jia Jiu's business at all. The 1.2 million taels of silver were not the money for Princess Changle to repair the garden. Instead, Jia Jiu and Princess Changle were calculating the first phase of the cost of building Zhuangzi to absorb the displaced people. These expenses were also reported to the emperor. The emperor was worried that his daughter was nested in the palace, and he vomited all day long. So I agreed. Yu Shitai didn't know the roots, and he really had an excerpt and let the emperor smash it back. But in order not to embarrass the emperor, Princess Changle took the initiative to stop the construction of the princess's mansion and continue to live in the palace.

For this matter, the emperor also felt very sorry for his daughter.

Thinking of this, the emperor immediately jumped up.

"Go check it out. What are these imitation Taihu stones used for. Why did the Daomen release so many broken stones at this time, and let that girl give it to others at such a low price. ”

"Yes."

The emperor couldn't believe that Daomen would be willing to give up such a comparison, after all. There are many people in the Daomen, and the cost is also large. The Xue family was able to sell these stones for seven million, and the Daomen naturally had the ability to sell them even higher. But Daomen just gave up such a large amount of income, there must be another reason behind it.

The emperor thought that he wanted to find out the reason. It must take a long time. But he never expected that soon after, he would get the answer from the mouth of the national teacher.

The national teacher is the only friend in the emperor's heart, and this friend will not ask him for this or that, nor will he be very polite to him because he is the emperor. The emperor is always very relaxed in front of the national teacher, so when the emperor showed his traces in front of the national teacher and was questioned by the national teacher. Since he rushed out.

"What's going on with those imitation Taihu stones?"

The national teacher blinked his eyes and said, "Oh. That was Tongyunliu, that is, Jia Junjun ordered the refining workshop of the golden cloth Daozi to prepare extra. Although Tongyunliu can mobilize the resources of the Jinyi Daozi lineage, it needs a lot of money and food to build so many Zhuangzi and so many displaced people. Even if there are a lot of resources in the Jinyi Daozi line, it is still quite difficult to complete that strategy, I heard that the three princesses have thought of asking His Majesty for help, or taking out their dowry private house, but the result is still a drop in the bucket when the gap is calculated. Moreover, many of Her Royal Highness's belongings cannot be damaged in the slightest. Therefore, Tong Yunliu ordered these imitation Taihu stones to be specially made below, and sold them to those wealthy merchants little by little, and scraped together the silver money needed. ”

"Then these imitation Taihu Lake stone ......"

The national teacher blinked his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Ruhai is gone, and he is not in office." Before his bones were cold and the grave was dry, someone was eyeing their Lin family's property. If this happens, what will others think? Long live, Concubine Xiande is your concubine, repaired, and also the royal palace. Who will carry this black cauldron in the end? ”

"This ......"

Of course, the emperor knew that such consequences would definitely be borne by himself. It's just that he is still a little unwilling.

The national teacher said: "Actually, Tong Yunliu is not willing to do things absolutely. It's just that if he doesn't do this, that Wang clan will definitely be endless. Therefore, Tong Yunliu prepared a million stone imitation Taihu Lake stones, and transferred them to the Xue family at a very low price, in order to let the Wang family fight with the Xue family. Only when the Wang family competes with the Xue family can he free up his hands to do other things. Your Majesty, even if you don't believe in Tongyunliu, don't you believe in Princess Changle? ”

The emperor was stunned.

For the daughter of Princess Changle, he owes a lot. He never doubted this daughter. In fact, this daughter will definitely not hide from him in many things.

For his daughter, the emperor always believed.

The emperor hesitated for a while before he said, "But my inner mansion has lost so much input, and my heart is still uncomfortable after all. ”

The national teacher said: "Your Majesty, there is always a tax on this business." Didn't the court receive the tax? If you don't receive the tax, what if you just let the Jingzhao Mansion dispatch? Moreover, these ladies have hired many people to repair gardens at home. This year, there are many fewer homeless people and beggars in the Kyoto Division. ”
