There is a place for building materials, and there are a lot of them, and they have never been lacking in the first place, and once they are used up, they will be replenished immediately, and they will definitely be enough to build this attic by themselves. Just thinking of begging that person again, Zhao Ming's mood was a little gloomy.

Every time I go, I have more debts on me, and I really don't want to go to that place unless I have to. I still have to work hard to fight with the old fox who doesn't suffer losses, and I feel tired when I think about it. But there is no way, now there are only so many materials in that place in the entire capital.

"The son visits his father." Zhao Ming came to the place he hated deeply with a bitter face-Shangshu. The old man sits alone on the throne unchanged for thousands of years, and he is still surrounded by the same Huai'en for thousands of years. Well, Zhao Ming always felt cold and had no temperature in the study, and he didn't know how these two people could stay for many years.

"Yo, isn't this my Zhao family's busy Zhao Ming." As soon as he saw his old man, he didn't act like an emperor, and he didn't raise his head but sneered, "I didn't show my figure for two days in a row, I thought that Xiaoliu had forgotten his identity, what kind of wind blew you here today?" ”

"Look at what my father said. I'm not here to donate money in the near future. It's been a busy past two days. This little bit of ridicule can be ignored for Zhao Ming, and his face is not a little ashamed. The hippie smiled and leaned over to the royal table, picked up the teapot and poured tea for himself.

"One day I went to the Qi Guo Mansion to hang out, and one day I went to the East Market to tour the streets. Ming'er also dares to say that he is busy? Zhao Hao ruthlessly exposed his son, and his hand indicated that he was not in a hurry to drink the tea, "Say, what is there to ask your father for the emperor." I don't have as much leisure as you do. ”

"It's still my father's insight and vision." It's always right to go to the sycophants first, since you have spoken, I will suffer a little loss and drink your cup of good tea," Erchen really has something to discuss with his father. ”

"Yes. I listened. ”

"That's the case, the last time the minister said that the venue set up by the Ministry of Rites was not satisfied with the courtiers and planned to get one by himself, everything was ready, and there was almost a little problem with the materials. Erchen didn't remember that his father was repairing the palace and piled up a lot of materials, so Erchen wanted to borrow it from his father for a while. Zhao Ming put on a harmless smile and tried to make himself appear sincere.

"Borrow?" Zhao Haohu looked at his son suspiciously.

"Borrow, once the materials from other places arrive, the sons and daughters will return them in full, and they will never be in arrears." Zhao Ming slapped his chest puffy, looking like an honest little man.

"Oh, that's right." A malicious smile appeared on Zhao Hao's face, "Do you think I will agree?" ”

"My father is so easy to speak, can he bear to look at his sons and reveals embarrassed? Definitely yes! ”

"Oh, guess again?"

Three black lines appeared on Zhao Ming's head, is this the emperor? Play this set with me! "Huh? Father, why? The things that were supposed to be certain suddenly changed, which made Zhao Ming dumbfounded.

"First, the materials that were supposed to be used for the new palace were misappropriated by you, and the work was suddenly stopped. I don't know what outsiders will think, I think that my Dazhao royal family is embarrassed by the funds, and I can't even repair a palace, so I give others jokes in vain. Zhao Hao saw the corners of Zhao Ming's twitching mouth, and his heart was proud.

"The most important thing is the second point, there is no benefit in lending you me, Ming'er, why did you say I would lend it to you?"

Zhao Ming felt that his mouth was bitter, did he teach the old man well, and finally knew that he wanted benefits. "Father, the first thing to do, isn't it another way to put it, that is, in order to reflect the importance of the imperial court, the repair of the palace was specially suspended for the construction of reception merchants. In this way, the people will not laugh at it, but the merchants will be grateful. ”

"Yes, that's right. But what if I pay more attention to the second point? Zhao Hao deliberately teased Zhao Ming, in fact, he was ready to lend the materials to Zhao Ming at the first point of solving, how could Lao Tzu talk to his son about interests.

Zhao Ming gritted his teeth, pretending to be in pain, and almost squeezed out a few tears: "In addition to returning the materials of the Internal Affairs Office, the materials for the construction of the new palace are borne by the Erchen. ”

"Oh, Ming'er knows the material of the new palace? The material alone is worth more than 100,000 taels of silver. Although he was unexpectedly happy, Zhao Hao was a little worried that his son didn't understand the volume of it and was self-righteous, and he would come to cry poor halfway through the cultivation.

"Since the words have been spoken, the son will never regret it." Zhao Ming still had a look of regret on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Oh. Just as my son wants. Seeing that Zhao Ming's words were all about this, Zhao Hao couldn't deny it anymore, just sit back and see what Zhao Ming could do with this obviously losing business, "Huaien, you go and do this." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then father, the son will retire first." Zhao Ming couldn't suppress it anymore, he was afraid that the ecstasy in his heart would be seen by his old man, so he hurriedly retired.

"Go ahead." Zhao Hao still can't figure it out, how can Zhao Ming recover such a big loss trap, or Zhao Ming himself proposed it, and there must be something greasy in it. Even if he uses cheap goods, he still can't afford to lose money, not to mention that he has the courage to cheat in the palace palace?

"Huaien, you said that Xiao Liuzi conjured up money to repair the palace for me, the gap is so big, even if he fills in the 150,000 taels, it will not be enough." Zhao Hao was still a little suspicious, and he always felt that he had been taken advantage of by Zhao Ming.

"The slave doesn't know this. Maybe the Sixth Highness has his own special ideas? "Huai En can't figure it out, how can His Royal Highness resist the material of hundreds of thousands of taels like this, can't he see that His Majesty was originally teasing His Highness Six.

"Let's watch, as long as Xiaoliu doesn't play outside the rules, I have nothing to say." Zhao Hao rubbed his brows and let go of this matter, how could he have so much energy to care about these little things.

Zhao Ming, who walked out of the study, was in a very happy mood, how could it be a loss to build a palace for the royal family, and he was presiding over it as a prince, and he would not earn tens of thousands of taels of knowledge that he would bring to future generations.

But I always seem to have forgotten to say anything to the old man? Forget it, don't think about it, think about it.

The silver is done, the materials are done, and there should be no problem with labor, after all, the manufacturing department has designed so many office spaces and cities for the imperial court, and it is just a matter of spending money to negotiate with the Ministry of Industry. The matter of accepting the silver donation is over, and it is enough to wait for the beginning of most of the month.

Only when Zhao Ming was standing not far from the upper study and thinking about how to go to wandering, a small chamberlain ran over and whispered in Zhao Ming's ear: "Your Royal Highness Six, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited." ”

Prince? Why is the third child looking for me? Among the brothers, the prince is the guy he can't get close to, this prince cares too much about the scene and rules, and regards these imaginary things as extremely important, which is exactly where Zhao Ming is impatient.

Every time they met, they had to salute according to the etiquette prescribed by the imperial court, and then the prince gave a meaningless lecture. The rules and regulations are neat, and Zhao Ming is very tired of listening to them at a glance. But the prince summoned him and ignored him, no matter how he said it, he was also the prince of the country. The old man can be casual, but the prince, if you and him are casual, he will think that you deliberately cut his face.

All the way to the east, finally came to the East Palace. As the most special part of the palace, the East Palace is said to be one, and even the city walls of the East Palace are separated from the palace, and there is a special checkpoint on the road leading to the palace. Moreover, the East Palace is the only place that is not guarded by the Yulin Guards of the Fourth Army of Beijing, and its guard force is all guarded by the three guards of the East Palace who are loyal to the East Palace, and even the eunuch system is independent of the palace.

It's not one, the East Palace is close to the Palace, the East Gate of the Palace is the East Palace range, and the four gates of the Palace are the least guarded by the East Palace. The East Palace is also regarded as a part of the Imperial Palace. The prince's mansion can only be located in the north of Bianliang City, which is clearly distinguished from the palace.

As soon as he entered the main hall of the East Palace, Zhao Ming frowned, and sure enough, the prince Zhao Zhuang sat on the main seat and waited for Zhao Ming's visit, this is not a formal occasion, the prince still cares about these customs etiquette. In contrast, the four princes have a lower posture, but they do better.

"Brother to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." There is no way, although Zhao Ming is a little impatient, but the etiquette is like that, so it can't be said that the prince did something wrong.

"Excuse me, flat. The sixth brother sits. Zhao Jianxu lifted up, did not get up, and pointed to the empty chair next to him.

"I don't know what the prince has to say when he summons his subordinates here today?" Staying here, Zhao Ming felt uncomfortable all over his body, even more so than in the upper study.

"There are three things I want to ask the sixth brother."

"Prince, please speak." Zhao Ming took a sip of the tea that the little eunuch had just served in order to hide his discomfort.

"First, I heard that the sixth brother put the son of the servant of the ministry into the prison of Bianliang Mansion, I don't know if it's true or not." Zhao Zhuang stared at his sixth brother, with a bit of anger in his eyes. Don't you know that the Ministry of Officials is your own territory?

"Oh, that's the case." The prince didn't say that he had forgotten it, no wonder he couldn't remember to say something in front of the old man, it turned out to be this, "What does His Royal Highness the prince mean?" ”

"Last night, the servant of the ministry cried that he was not strict with his son and regretted that he would teach his son a good lesson when he went back, and he would not let him act profligate again, I don't know if the sixth brother can put him on Lone's face? Zhang Shilang will have a generous gift. ”

"Dare to ask the prince, does my father know about this?" Zhao Ming asked thoughtfully, the movements of this servant are really fast. It was only one night before he came to his master to cry.

"I know, my father asked me to ask you what you mean, and he can't deny it." Speaking of this, Zhao Zhuang was angry in his heart, otherwise he would have let Bianliang Mansion release him.

I'll go, the old man obviously knew that he didn't mention it at all just now, it seems that he wants me to face the prince alone, the old man knows my character, does the old man want me to be on the bar with the prince? What kind of pole to take, the prince of a country, the master behind the ministry.

"The prince should talk about the other two things first, and give his younger brother a little time to think about it."

Zhao Zhuang's face darkened, and the anger in his heart was a little stronger. I thought that as soon as I opened my mouth, Xiaoliu would do what he said, a prince who has not left the cabinet and has no power, is in charge of a powerless department like the Manufacturing Division, and the child's play of the Flying Kite Army composed of farmers, do you really think of yourself as a character and plan to fight with me?

"Second, some wealthy businessmen have also come to the door recently, hoping that Xiaoliu will make some convenience in the near future. If there is any requirement for Xiao Liu, just mention. "The prince has tried his best to suppress his anger.

"Then dare to ask the prince, what about the third?" Zhao Ming's eyes were full of narrowness, and the compelling light in his eyes kept pouring.

"Third, Gu hopes that Xiaoliu will resign from the post of supervising the Flying Kite Army, and it is best to disband the Flying Kite Army." Even if Zhao Ming resigns from the post of supervising the Flying Kite Army, the Flying Kite Army and Zhao Ming are still inextricably linked, so it is better to disband.

"Hehe, I'm afraid the prince doesn't know, Xiaoliu also wants to disband the Flying Kite Army, but our father doesn't agree. The 3,000 victims of the disbandment of the Flying Kite Army could only escort the frontier to serve hard labor. Zhao Ming explained with a reluctant temperament.

"Servitude is servitude, what does it have to do with you and me." Zhao Zhuang thought that Zhao Ming was reluctant to give up his rights and wanted some benefits, "Xiao Liu, don't worry, as long as you disband the Flying Kite Army, your benefits are indispensable here." When Xiaoliu leaves the cabinet, the official position, and the mansion are up to Xiaoliu to choose, and Lone will definitely help you take it. ”

"Even if few of these 3,000 people can come back?" Zhao Ming's eyes had already begun to emit a dangerous light.

Zhao Zhuang didn't answer, but looked at Zhao Ming puzzled, is it important whether the three thousand victims are alive or dead? As long as you don't hold the military power in your hands, it will be good to give a very bad signal to the officials of the DPRK and China. I will take care of the life and death of your three thousand. I can give you more than three thousand men can give you.

"Huh." Zhao Ming understood the meaning in Zhao Zhuang's eyes, and stared at Zhao Zhuang directly and unabashedly, "Is power greater than life?" What if I don't say yes to all of them? ”

"Zhao Ming!" Zhao Zhuang was furious when he saw Zhao Ming despising him so much, and the teacup in his hand fell directly in front of Zhao Ming, "Lonely as the prince, your king!" You dare to disobey me! Don't think I can't do anything about you before you leave the cabinet. ”

"Haha, what about the prince!" Since he said it, Zhao Ming didn't need to estimate, "I'm not afraid of the old man, I'm still afraid of you as a prince." It's a big deal that Lao Tzu is looking for the fourth child, let's have a good time. ”

"You dare!" This is what the prince cares about the most, otherwise he would have done it a long time ago, and he would still be verbose with you, the little six who didn't come out of the cabinet? There is already a second child standing behind the fourth child, and if you add a sixth child who holds military power, his side is completely at a disadvantage.

"You can try! Leave. "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Zhao Ming has no temperament to quarrel with you again, and strode out of the East Palace. But before he reached the door, he was stopped by the loyal East Palace guards.

"You! You! I'm so angry! Zhao Zhuang was so angry that his eyes were red, a little powerless prince actually dared to speak ill of himself, even the fourth child didn't dare to be so excessive!

Zhao Ming turned his head, his eyes squinted, revealing his tiger teeth like a fierce beast about to fight: "You want to stop me?" ”

"Let him go." The prince also knew that it was useless to take Zhao Ming now, and he would anger the old dragon in the palace, "Little Liu, I hope you think about it and don't force Gu to make a move!" ”

Zhao Ming turned his head and glanced at the prince with contempt but did not answer him, and strode out, the north wind blew, bringing up his white clothes.
