Chapter 538: Candidates for the Construction of the Imperial Tomb
"Come here, let grandma hug!"
Empress Dowager Jiang stretched out her hand to greet Wang Qing, the little guy was stunned for a moment, but still opened his two calves and ran in front of the old empress dowager, Empress Dowager Jiang reached out and grabbed the child's armpits, and her arms were forceful, but she didn't pick it up.
"It's me who is too heavy." The little guy was very self-aware, and said with a raised face: "My father always says to eat less, I, I can't control my mouth, but what should I do?" ”
The old queen mother couldn't help laughing when she heard the child's words, and reached out to pinch his face.
"It's good to be fat, your father was the same as His Majesty when he was a child, he was like a monkey, and he didn't attract people. Grandma, I like fat children, blessed! ”
Empress Dowager Jiang pulled Wang Qing and asked him to sit beside her, and then waved at Wang Yue.
"You can sit down too!"
Wang Yue grinned, this is the so-called next-generation parent, he is a father, so he can only stand aside.
"The mourning family called you over, just to tell you about the imperial mausoleum......" Empress Dowager Jiang paused and sighed: "The mourning family is old, and they can't even hold their children." I don't know when, I'm going to see the first emperor. ”
The first emperor in Jiang's mouth, of course, is not Zhengde, but Zhu Youqi, the king of Xingxian. I have to say that Xianzong Zhu Jianshen is a lover, and his sons are also very deep.
"The rejuvenation of the country is gone...... Your Majesty inherits the unification, and you must bury the imperial mausoleum, and the mourning family is to accompany the first emperor, but you are reluctant to let Your Majesty ...... Therefore, the mourning family wanted to move the first emperor over and reunite the family...... Wang Yue, you say that this is the Mourning family's nonsense, or willful, the Mourning family plans to do this. How much does it cost, the mourning family is out, someone is against it, you settle the mourning family, you are not allowed to object to this, you know? ”
The old queen mother had a tense face and a fierce look.
Wang Yue smiled, "Please rest assured, the Queen Mother, these things will be left to me, and no one will dare to say anything." His Majesty's exploits are unsurpassed in ancient and modern times, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, better than in previous dynasties. At this point, whoever dares to question His Majesty's status is a bad brain. The people of the world will not agree. ”
Jiang Shi picked his eyelids and wondered, "Really? You kid didn't lie to the old lady? ”
Wang Yue hurriedly waved his hand, "Queen Mother, I dare to lie to Your Majesty, I don't dare to lie to you!" ”
Jiang couldn't help but laugh, "You, you are all the first assistant, and you don't have a personal system." You lie to Your Majesty, that's called deception, you know no! The old queen mother said, and turned her head to grab Wang Qing's little fat hand.
"Child, don't learn from your father, you have to be obedient and obedient, and be a good child who is sensible."
The little guy seems to understand whether he understands or not, but he thinks that this old grandmother is too fierce, and even his father is afraid, so he has no other choice but to nod.
The old queen mother saw it in her eyes and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, nothing else, the mourning family will give you a meeting gift." Jiang Shi said and took out a jade plaque and handed it to Wang Qing, on the jade plaque, there were only two words: Tianjia.
The little guy didn't understand, so he held it in his hand and compared it to Wang Yue.
This scared Wang Yue, others didn't know, he didn't know yet...... This jade plate is the job number...... In other words, it is the identity representative of Empress Dowager Chiang.
How much money Empress Dowager Jiang has accumulated over the years, even Zhu Houxi doesn't know.
Saying that the rich rival the country is all underestimating.
The terrifying old queen mother actually gave this thing to Xiao Wang Qing, what is she going to do?
"Don't be greedy, you kid."
The old queen mother snorted coldly: "Over the years, the mourning family has saved a lot. But what about the money? The mourning family is quite worried. Pass it on to anyone, and there will be people who are dissatisfied. Leave it to His Majesty or the Crown Prince...... There's no need, they're rich and don't care about these things. ”
"The mourning family wants to come and go, and there is only one way, give it to the child. Back then, you instructed the mourning family to make a fortune, and now the mourning family has transferred this money to your son, which can be regarded as repaying your favor. Wang Yue, you are now the first assistant, do things well, and work hard. The mourning family doesn't owe you anything, don't expect the mourning family to protect you...... You know? ”
Wang Yue was stunned for a long time, he knew very well in his heart, where is this to repay his favor, it is obvious that the old queen mother gave him a great favor again!
Wang Yue has always advocated that rules should be established and laws should be followed.
can be messed around, and it is the royal piece that is the most troublesome.
This is not just as simple as a golden mouth...... There are too many estates in the royal family, and there are so many eunuchs and palace maids, both bright and dark, that no one can say clearly.
Everyone knows that as long as there is one loophole, there will be a thousand loopholes, and in the end the whole regulation becomes a joke.
Empress Dowager Jiang took out the property, which can be regarded as plugging a big hole for Wang Yue!
"Queen Mother, do you think this will work? The ministers will dispose of the property in batches, except for the construction of a new imperial tomb, the rest will be put together and handed over to special personnel to take care of...... And it is announced every year that the income part will be used to fill the expenses in the palace. ”
Empress Dowager Jiang bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Anyway, the mourning family has given you your son, what should I do, you can make up your own mind!" The mourning family doesn't want to worry about it. ”
Empress Dowager Jiang sighed deeply again, "Ordinary women, you have long been teasing your grandson and celebrating your birthday." On the contrary, it is a mourning family, who is already in the posture of a person, but he has to hold on, read the accounts all day long, and study how to make money all day long...... and the mourners have become slaves to the money. ”
"This time, the first emperor can move back to the capital, and the last wish of the mourning family will be fulfilled, what is the matter, there is no more, you can rest assured that you can support the elderly, you can't say, you can live for a few more years!"
Wang Yue sighed deeply, and in retrospect, it really meant that he was chasing ducks to the shelves...... When he entered Beijing from Anlu, everyone around Zhu Houxi had to give full play to his 200 percent spirit.
Huang Jin, Lu Bing, Yuan Zonggao, who is not like this.
When Empress Dowager Jiang was in Xingwangfu, she was a princess in peace and stability, how comfortable it was! But in order to fight with the old ministers, she must hold power, she must pinch the harem, and there will be no chaos.
In addition to using the identity of the Queen Mother, that is to spend money!
As a result, as the most noble woman, she has to deal with abacus every day...... Although he said that he didn't like money, he was not interested in money, and he was a little hypocritical, but as the Empress Dowager Jiang, it was really unnecessary to be a slave of money.
Today, I can finally unload the burden, and I can relax.
not only liberated himself, but also opened the door to Wang Yue...... Only Xiao Wang Qing didn't know what was going on, and the jade card in his hand was taken away by his father.
Anyway, take it away, the little guy doesn't care...... Isn't this how the usual New Year's money is handled! Just get used to it.
The little one was still happy, and followed his father home, and he had no idea what an amazing fortune that the jade plate represented.
If it is converted into silver, it can fill dozens of palaces!
The little guy just had two more chicken legs at dinner, and he even let Brother Xiong eat one...... A minute of silence for your child.
"The Queen Mother did this, just because she didn't want to cause criticism...... We can't make trouble for ourselves, we can't spend money indiscriminately on repairing the emperor's mausoleum, but we can't save it, everything must be clear, clear, fair, and stand up to scrutiny. ”
Sun Yu said seriously: "Master, we must not plant on the word money!" ”
Wang Yue nodded seriously, "Madam, don't worry!" With such a virtuous helper as you, a husband will not make mistakes. Tomorrow I'll find a way to find a few experts in construction. ”
"It's not easy to build an imperial mausoleum, and the early site selection is a problem. Then there are buildings, paintings, stone men and horses outside, all kinds of beasts, be sure to carve beautifully. To be honest, I'm still quite worried, there are really not many talents in this area. ”
Wang Yue was really right, he called Ouyang Bijin over...... Ouyang Bijin immediately shook his head, "Yuanfu, although the repair of the Emperor's Mausoleum is a matter of the Ministry of Industry, it is the palace that really makes the effort. We're just going to do it. ”
Wang Yue rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "There have been a lot of layoffs in the palace over the years, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find enough people for a while...... Let's make the Queen Mother's eyes shine! ”
Ouyang Bijin groaned: "Yuanfu, or recruit talents, no matter who you are, as long as you are good at this, you can hire them." ”
Wang Yue bowed his head, "That's the only way, I'm afraid I can't find a suitable candidate." ”
Wang Yue was worried, but he didn't expect that only three days later, his student Zhu Heng came to Wang Yue with a stone carving.
"Master, take a look at the works of a gentleman just hired by Xishan Academy!"
