However, Zhu Youxiao was still ready to meet Li Gao, the Marquis of Wuqing, so he instructed Wei Chao: "Let him come in." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Wei Chao agreed, turned around and went out to pick up people.

It didn't take long for Li Gao, Marquis of Wuqing, to walk in from outside.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Li Gao hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said with a very respectful attitude: "See Your Majesty." ”

"Excuse me." Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Gao and waved his hand and said.

When Li Gao stood up from the ground, Zhu Youxiao continued: "What happened to Marquis Wuqing entering the palace? ”

"Your Majesty, when the minister entered the palace today, there is something I want to ask Your Majesty." Li Gao looked at Zhu Youxiao, and his tone and attitude became more respectful.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment and looked Li Gao up and down.

You must know that the relatives of the Ming Dynasty are actually a very special group, and when the people in the family are in power, they are naturally arrogant and domineering, which can be said to be overwhelming the ministers. Especially when a daughter in a family like the Li family sits in the position of the queen mother, and she is also a powerful queen mother, it is even more incredible.

However, even if this is the case, it still can't escape fate. When the good days are over, the family may begin to decline. Relying on the family business accumulated in the early years, life is not bad, and their way of survival will not let them jump up and down to find trouble for their family, but they live a peaceful and stable life, which is much more honest than Xungui.

Under such circumstances, these nobles rarely came to the palace to ask the emperor for anything. This is not the time for their daughter to have the final say, and it is likely that doing such a thing is self-inflicted.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Gao and said directly: "I don't know what happened to Aiqing?" ”

"The minister wants to change a few sets of houses in Shoushan Academy, as well as shops." Li Gao said in a calm tone, and his attitude was also very sincere.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned.

I didn't expect someone to come here to change the house, this is a screw, right? Did you make a deal with the Emperor?

But think about it, these people haven't done this kind of thing, back then, his father was rolling in the court and asked for things, and even Zhang Juzheng couldn't do it.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Gao and said quietly: "I don't know what Aiqing wants to exchange." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Chen's family has a garden in the west of the city, which is the Tsinghua Garden. The minister wanted to take it out and exchange it for a few shops and a few houses. I beg your Majesty's permission. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was a little incredulous.

What is the level of that Tsinghua Garden, Zhu Youxiao's heart is very clear.

That was built by Li Gao's son Li Wei with a lot of effort, and that level was simply high to a certain extent. The decoration in Tsinghua Garden is magnificent, and the various layouts are also thoughtful, which can be said to be a small royal leisure garden.

Although the houses in the new area are also valuable, and even the prices of the shops are very high, they are not worth mentioning compared to Tsinghua Park.

The value of the two sides is not equal, where is the exchange?

The area of Tsinghua Garden can be said to be very large, and it took a lot of energy and time to repair, and it also cost a lot of money and food.

Although Zhu Youxiao has been staring at Tsinghua Garden, he has not made any moves, why did Li Gao come to the door in a panic? Is there something I don't know?

If something goes wrong, it is a demon, this truth is very clear in Zhu Youxiao's heart.

Since Li Gao has made such an abnormal move, there is naturally a reason behind it.

Zhu Youxiao asked quietly, "Why is this so?" I've heard that the garden is pretty good. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister's family has a large population and can no longer live in the city, so he wants to sell the garden in the west of the city and then buy some real estate in the city. In this way, it can be regarded as meeting the needs of the family. ”

"It's just that it takes time to sell the garden, and it costs some money to toss around, so the minister doesn't want to toss. Anyway, a new city is also being built in the west of the city, and the minister is willing to contribute the garden, ask for some shops and houses in the city, and ask His Majesty for permission. In this way, the minister is grateful. ”

This reason is also foolish, Zhu Youxiao is naturally not a fool, and Li Gao does not dare to treat the emperor as a fool.

Since Li Gao dared to say this, he was sure that the emperor would be able to agree. This made Zhu Youxiao feel interesting, where did Li Gao get so much confidence?

Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Gao and said, "I want to think about this matter, Aiqing can go back first." ”

Anyway, I don't know what the situation is for the time being, and Zhu Youxiao really can't make a decision until he understands the truth of the matter. Send the people away first, and ask about the situation.

Li Gao hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." The minister retired. ”

After saying this, Li Gao bowed and retreated.

After Li Gao left, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said: "Let people release the news, just say that the Marquis of Wuqing is Gao Fengliangjie, knowing that the imperial court wants to promote culture and education, and to build a royal academy in the west of the city, he is willing to donate his homeland to the imperial court to build an academy." ”

When Chen Hong heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Emperor." The slave and the maid will go. ”

The news in the palace usually passed through several hands, from the eunuchs to the palace maids to the guards, one by one. Sometimes the news is very accurate, and sometimes there will be deviations, but people outside will still pay attention to it, after all, every move in the palace will affect the world.

Taking advantage of this, it is not the first time that Zhu Youxiao has spread the news. As for the truth of the news, it depends on his needs.

Obviously, what Zhu Youxiao released this time was fake news. No matter what Li Gao wants to do. Bring him the top hat first.

A person who likes money, suddenly doing this, really made Zhu Youxiao a little unacceptable.

If Li Gao directly said that he would donate it, it would be a different result. But Li Gao obviously said that he wanted to change, and there must be a problem here.

After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Chao and ordered directly: "Go to Shuntian Mansion and bring Chen Qiyu to me." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Wei Chao agreed, turned around and ran outside.

No matter what happened or what the result was, Chen Qiyu must know very well. After all, he is the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and he should be very clear about the matter of this investigation. It's definitely right to ask Chen Qiyu.

After receiving the emperor's summons, Chen Qiyu also came to the palace.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Chen Qiyu hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "Chen Qiyu, see Your Majesty." ”

"Alright, let's get rid of it." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "I summoned you to the palace this time, because I have something to ask you." How's the progress of the Seongsai inventory? ”

For Chen Qiyu, this in itself is not too difficult. Whether it is him or Chen Sihai, it can be said that he is familiar with this kind of thing.

The only difficulty in the land inventory is whether the people who do the work dare to start, and whether there is anyone behind them who dares to support them.

Why was Hai Rui able to be invincible back then? It's not because he dares to offend anyone. As long as you are fearless, such a case will be investigated.

Back then, Hai Rui was like a talisman, no one dared to touch him, and naturally he was invincible.

As for Chen Sihai and Chen Qiyu and others, Zhu Youxiao also protected them to death, and basically didn't read the impeachment script, or even checked it; They have no way to take Chen Sihai upward; Chen Sihai and the others are also capable people, and the inventory of the land is naturally not a problem, and the progress is going very smoothly.

Chen Qiyu said: "Back to Your Majesty, everything is going well, and the census should be completed in half a month." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "That's the best." Just now, Marquis Wu Qing entered the palace and wanted to exchange his own home for shops and real estate in the new city, do you know what is going on in this matter? ”

After hearing this, Chen Qiyu showed a touch of anger on his face, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, this Marquis Wuqing is really insatiable and despicable. His garden in the west of the city was originally forcibly occupied for construction, and now there is still a bitter master. ”

In addition to this, he also occupied a lot of the mountains and land around the garden. Among them, many of them were directly occupied without land deeds, and the people were also displaced, and some were even directly enslaved by him. ”

"When the minister investigated, it can be said that he was filled with righteous indignation. Apparently he realized that it was not good, and was ready to get rid of the garden in the west of the city. As long as His Majesty allows it, the matter in the west of the city will naturally not be a matter. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's face became ugly.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, there was something he didn't know. To put it bluntly, it is the west of the city that is starting to get hot, and Li Gao is not ready to catch it in his hands. If someone waits for impeachment, maybe the consequences will be serious.

Isn't the easiest way to donate the garden? Then admit the punishment and accept the punishment, so that you can pass it safely, or reduce the punishment.

But this Li Gao obviously didn't, and even had to change the house and shop in the city. What does this mean?

can only show one thing, Li Gao really loves money, and vainly tries to take out the garden to replace it and recover a little loss. Anyway, the shops and gardens in the city are hot now, and you can make money by getting your hands on them. Although it is worse than the garden in the city, it is not the same as losing a little bit and losing it all.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao laughed angrily.

That's what it takes to die.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Qiyu and said with a calm face: "After Aiqing goes back, let this matter out, so that everyone knows what Wu Qinghou did." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiyu naturally understood what it meant, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Chancellor understood. If nothing else, the minister retired. ”

"Go ahead." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

After Chen Qiyu left, Zhu Youxiao sighed and said to Chen Hong beside him: "Just change the way and spread what happened today." ”

When the news spread, the result was that Marquis Wu Qingqing knew that he was guilty and was willing to donate the garden. This result is not what Zhu Youxiao wants.

If it is said according to the facts, the result is that Wu Qinghou has no bottom line, is insatiable, and extremely stupid.

This kind of public opinion is more suitable for Li Gao, Marquis of Wuqing, and it is also more convenient for Zhu Youxiao to start after the fact.
