Chapter 11 The treacherous plan has failed
Wei Zhongxian went to Zhu Youxiao after dealing with some important matters, as the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhao Deli s performance to play the greatest role when he thought that there would be tens of millions of taels of business in his hands immediately, Wei Zhongxian only felt that he was a few years younger, and he was much lighter if he didn't make it.
When he arrived at Zhu Youxiao's courtyard, he found that the emperor seemed to be enjoying himself well today, and he was actually singing a little song and doing work there.
"The old slave knocks on the emperor." Wei Zhongxian, who was known as the nine-thousand-year-old outside, was respectful and docile in front of the emperor, like a kitten.
"Oh, Zhongxian is here, how about coming to see this pear blossom chair that I have newly made?" Zhu Youxiao, who was in a good mood, saw Wei Zhongxian and pulled him to see his proud work.
"The emperor's craftsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite, and I am afraid that there are many people rushing to buy this chair in the market." Wei Zhongxian naturally did not sweep the emperor's temperament, looked at the chair patiently, and praised.
"Haha, you can speak, this pear blossom wood is not cheap in the first place, of course a few hundred taels can be sold. Why can't you make up your mind about coming over today? Zhu Youxiao laughed and then asked.
Wei Zhongxian has not been in charge of the government for a day or two, and Zhu Youxiao is also happy to have someone to share these chores for him. Wei Zhongxian is also very good, he will still ask Zhu Youxiao for some things, of course, they are also some things that do not involve his own interests and are relatively easy to deal with. In this way, Zhu Youxiao does not have the feeling that he is being set up, and Wei Zhongxian can also block some people's mouths.
"There is one thing that involves Master Wang, the old slave does not dare to make his own decisions, and he can still be the emperor's holy judge." Wei Zhongxian said as he took out the fold and handed it to the emperor.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao was illiterate when he was a child, but after all these years, he still knows all the common words, and this piece is not complicated, of course, he can understand it, which is much stronger than Wei Zhongxian, an elderly man.
The smile on Zhu Youxiao's face gradually receded, replaced by anger, and there was a trace of doubt in the anger.
"Not many people know about Master Wang's affairs in the palace, why did it spread to the outer court so quickly?" Of course, he didn't think much of Zhao Deli's crime about Wang Tao's crimes, what he cared about was how things in the palace got out.
"It's a shame to say that it's all old slaves who are not strict. There are thousands of people in the palace, and even if the old slave controls the East Factory, it is inevitable that he will be negligent. Besides, this important minister of the foreign court has his own eyeliner in the palace, which is not a matter of one or two days, and it is difficult to hide the turmoil in the palace from some ministers with intentions outside. Wei Zhongxian first blamed himself painlessly, and then also distinguished two sentences for himself, of course, he attributed the main reason to the intentions of the ministers outside.
"Hmph, these ministers outside are not good at worrying about me, but they are very concerned about my every move. Look at what he said, what is KitKat's lewd skills, Master Wang said that this invention is closely related to the people of Dawn and the society of the country. It's a pity that these ministers, who read the books of the saints, can't see this. Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, and then sighed.
"Master Wang is naturally a fairy means, and the emperor is also working for the common people in the world, how can these poor sours understand the emperor. It's just that Donglin Shi people are all over the world and have control of public opinion, so they can't let it go. Wei Zhongxian said with a look of consideration for the emperor.
"They are purely villains, and Master Wang came to see me in the morning, and resigned from me as the head of the royal workshop, and I kept him repeatedly, but he also refused." When Zhu Youxiao saw this setback, he felt that Wang Tao's difficulty was even more strange, since ancient times, there have been many people vying for power and profit, and there are a few people who can take the initiative to cede power.
"Master Wang understands the righteousness, the old slave is ashamed, and he should really let these poor sours outside also see Master Wang's mind." Hearing that the emperor said that Wang Tao had resigned from the position of chief manager, Wei Zhongxian was happy in his heart, and naturally he didn't mind saying a few more good words about Wang Tao.
"Yes, Master Wang not only resigned from the post of chief administrator, but also took the initiative to ask to move out of the palace, and I have asked Wang Tiqian to find a house in the palace for him." Zhu Youxiao felt that Wei Zhongxian was worthy of being his intimate confidant, and he could always understand his own mind.
"It's not difficult, there are many official mansions outside the palace that have not been sold, and the servants asked people to find a few quiet and elegant mansions for Master Wang to choose." Wei Zhongxian looked worried about the king.
He told the truth, there are many officials who have been destroyed by him over the years, and of course he has a mansion in his hands, this quiet and elegant, of course, it is far away from the palace, and there are a few good manors outside the city, and it is not bad to give it to Master Wang as a favor.
"It's okay, Wang Tiqian came out of the palace with a black eye, and he may not be able to find any good mansions. In addition to the house, you also need to find a wide area to build the royal workshop. Zhu Youxiao was happy to see Wei Zhongxian's loyalty, and he was also relieved of Wei Zhongxian's ability to do things, and then thought that this royal workshop was not suitable for staying in the inner city for a long time, so he spoke.
"The Royal Workshop is in the inner city, why should you move out where there is a construction bureau?" Wei Zhongxian asked puzzled.
"Master Wang resigned from the position of head of the house, and I felt deeply guilty, so I gave this royal workshop to Master Wang. In the future, this royal workshop will be Master Wang's industry, so that whatever the Manchu Dynasty says and the military, Master Wang can continue to invent and create, which is not the best of both worlds. Zhu Youxiao said a little proudly.
After working together for a long time, hearing the emperor say that he gave the royal workshop to Wang Tao, Wei Zhongxian thought in his heart. His plan was for Wang Tao to resign from the position of chief manager, and he arranged for one of his confidants to accept it, and the business of this clock was naturally in his hands, but the emperor gave it to Wang Tao, so naturally he didn't need to send someone to manage it, and this business was yellow.
"I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for this royal workshop to be given to private individuals." Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment and said.
"What's wrong with this, this is originally a construction bureau that serves the palace, but the construction bureau has not been able to create anything decent over the years. The royal workshop was nothing more than a collection of craftsmen who were of little use in the first place, and the ministers could not say anything. Zhu Youxiao said disappreciatively.
What he said was the truth, the construction office was originally to build utensils for the palace, but the cost of this construction utensils was too high, and it was not as cheap as buying them from outside. These craftsmen gradually became idle, otherwise the palace would not have turned a blind eye to the craftsmen who had fled.
Seeing the emperor say this, Wei Zhongxian knew that if he wanted to get the business of clocks and watches, he could only find another way. Although the royal workshop was given to Wang Tao, it was impossible to ignore the emperor's appearance, as long as Wang Tao was in the day, he had to act cautiously if he wanted to go directly to the royal workshop.
"What the emperor said is extremely true, the old slave is not thoughtful." Seeing that things were like this, Wei Zhongxian naturally wouldn't say anything more.
"Zhongxian doesn't have to blame himself, you also care about chaos. It's just that the inside and outside of this palace should also be well renovated, and it is not a good thing that there is a disturbance in the palace, and everyone knows it outside. The minds of these ministers are better focused on governing the country. "Although Zhu Youxiao doesn't care about the government, he is not a fool, and the people in the palace have close contact with the outside, which is not a good thing for him, the emperor.
Of course, he didn't know that this matter was instructed by the loyal nine-thousand-year-old in front of him, and in his opinion, Wei Zhongxian was his closest confidant.
Wei Zhongxian said something else to the emperor and then withdrew, and it seemed that the matter of clocks and watches had to be summed up. and the emperor's words, also reminded him that this master Wang came to resign from the position of head early in the morning, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence, I'm afraid that there are people under him who eat inside and outside. Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian's heart sank, it was time to rectify it.
