I don't know if it was for her own good to transfer Linggui away, what she knew was that she had to continue to investigate, provided that she couldn't let her stepmother know so swaggeringly. Be more secretive.

I don't know if it's angry, Xiaoluo drove away Yu'er who was sent over, saying that the Blue Courtyard is too small, and he doesn't need so many people to wait.

Qiu'er reluctantly and reluctantly moved from the back kitchen to the study.

It is said that Changfeng would go to Taishi every day to find out if Taishi was in the courtyard. This made Xiaoluo very moved.

In order not to alarm Yan Hui, Xiaoluo has been very quiet these days, getting up every morning to practice swords, learning the way of running a house with the Gong family in the morning, practicing calligraphy and painting in the afternoon, and the days are leisurely, but every time he practices words, Xiaoluo will always dislike Qiu'er's uneven ink grinding, either too watery, or too heavy, always not good. Qiu'er was so angry, but she didn't dare to make noise.

For example, Xiaoluo has such a leisurely day, but Zhaoqi is a little uncomfortable. Recently, the eldest brother was scolded by the emperor for his ineffective work. The mother concubine did not come forward to plead, playing the phoenix blood guqin every day, and she was a little trembling when she heard Zhaoqi. turned to think a little when he and Xiaoluo went to borrow the phoenix blood guqin, it seemed that they would always think of her.

On this day, according to the usual practice, he went to greet the Queen Mother, and by chance he happened to meet the emperor and sat there. He thinks he is unlucky in his heart, now which prince is not scolded when he sees his father, he can hide, he himself is still, to catch up.

There is no way, the old man of the father and the emperor asked him to say goodbye first. Fortunately, the father and grandmother talked and laughed, and there would be no bad intentions in the future.

"Zhaoqi is here, come and sit." The Queen Mother always looked loving, and beckoned to Zhaoqi and pointed to the brocade stool next to her.

"Meet my father!" Zhao Qi kowtowed heavily, and then turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Grandson greets the imperial grandmother!" ”

"Okay, good, as long as you come diligently, just like your father!" said it unintentionally, but the listener was intentional, Zhao Qi silently glanced at his father in his heart, could it be that his father had the same mind as himself?

"Zhaoqi is so old, mother, you let him stand, boys can't be spoiled like this." Seeing that the Queen Mother was so kind to Zhaoqi, the emperor was actually a little inexplicably jealous.

"I'm going to spoil my grandson, what's wrong?" The Queen Mother said nonchalantly.

"Mother, you have more than one grandson." The Emperor reminded with a smile.

"But there's only one grandchild who grew up in front of me." looked at Zhao Qi, his eyes were full of love and pity.

"That's right, you came at the right time, you forgot to bring something to Sister Hui last time, why don't you go outside the palace."

At a glance, Zhaoqi saw that it was all clothing and jewelry.

He smiled slightly in his heart, thinking: Grandmother really loves me!

"Mother wants to give some good things to Hui...... Yan Hui? The emperor asked knowingly.

"Well, yes, is there anything wrong with the Emperor?"

"Yan Shizi comes to the court every day with the Taishi, but the Taishi needs to come to the palace!"

"No need, I think it's good to take a trip to Zhaoqi."

Zhao Qi shouted in his heart: Father, you must be interrupted!

"Your Majesty, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, He Shilang, ask to see you!" Gonggong Li's voice was unhurried.

Zhaoqi knew that it was about the burning of the Mingling Building, which was the biggest thing in the Ministry of Industry. Seeing this opportunity, Zhao Qi hurriedly winked at Hui Liu beside him, took the clothes and jewelry and retreated first.

The emperor would never see the officials of the court in Shoukang Palace, and said to Gonggong Li: "Let's wait in the Taihe side hall first." ”

Gonggong Li silently retreated.

The emperor turned to look at the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, what do you think I should do if I build a seat?" ”

"How do I know about the court." The Queen Mother put away the loving smile and said seriously.

"Mother, but it doesn't matter!"

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with her eyes, not daring whether he was tempting or genuinely asking, the Queen Mother didn't want to interfere, but said lightly: "The emperor can do whatever he wants!" ”

"That day, I talked to Concubine Xia, and he suggested that I build an exotic restaurant. Mother, what do you think? ”

"It's all up to the emperor!" The Queen Mother still looks so faint.

The emperor was not very interested in seeing the Queen Mother. I also felt bored and left.

In the Taihe side hall, along with the waiter of the Ministry of Works, there is also Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Lao Shangshu is more than 70 years old this year, and he is staggering, walking three steps and resting two steps. At the beginning of this year, he went to the fold of saying goodbye to the old, but the emperor did not choose the right candidate for a while, so he stayed. Usually he doesn't go to the court, and now he doesn't know what's going on, and he is still interested in meeting the emperor alone, it seems that there is something important.

The waiter of the Ministry of Labor had to support Chen Shangshu more.

"Old Shangshu, you are two out of seventy!" He Shilang of the Ministry of Industry teased.

"Don't laugh at me, I know what you guys have in mind, building a library building is a big thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and no one can stop me in this matter!" Chen Shangshu was out of breath.

"Who dares to stop your old man, all this is not to listen to the meaning of the saint." He Shilang didn't want to conflict with this old Shangshu. The boss has instructed that no matter what is built, it will be built by the Ministry of Works, and it is all within their part of the work.

Therefore, although the Ministry of Rites asked for the construction of the library, it was also ordered by the Ministry of Industry to build it, but it was necessary to share the cup of soup to the Ministry of Rites, and after this was completed, it was .......

Just as he was thinking wildly, a yellow shadow appeared in front of him, and Li Gong's sharp and soft voice sounded: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

He saluted, just looking at Chen Shangshu's inconvenient appearance, He Shilang couldn't bear it and didn't make a move, and bowed his head quietly.

The emperor signaled to Gonggong Li, and Gonggong Li hurriedly picked up Lao Shangshu and moved the brocade stool.

He Shilang, who was still cold-eyed just now, hadn't been able to get up yet.

"What is the matter with Lao Shangshu?" The emperor looked at Chen Shangshu with concern.

Chen Shangshu calmed down his mood and glanced at He Shilang again.

Only then did the emperor notice that there was also an official from the fourth grade in the room - the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, Lang Heyi.

"Shangshu and Shilang came together?" Obviously, Gonggong Li came to see him just now, so why did he have another secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Works, He Shilang is the master of Shangshu, because Shangshu Cui's grandmother passed away some time ago, and he must be at home to keep filial piety for September, and the emperor has not intended to promote, so Zuo Shilang has been acting as Shangshu.

"That's what the old decay is here for!" Lao Shangshu was a little uneasy when he said this.

"Old Shangshu, please speak!" The emperor glanced at Zuo Shilang.

"Your Majesty, the old man knows that it is not easy to build a study building, and the support of manpower and material resources and your silver is too great. However, according to the policy of the first emperor, there have been several years of armistice and recuperation, and the lives of the people have gradually lived and worked in peace and contentment. ”

After Lao Shangshu finished speaking, he was full of emotion, for the country and the people, and he was full of admiration.

Now it's the emperor's turn to be a little embarrassed! He lowered his face and saw Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, this is obviously a matter of the Ministry of Industry, why doesn't the Ministry of Industry have a proposition?

"Old Shangshu, isn't this matter already decided?" The emperor reminded at the right time.

"The old man really didn't want to refute the emperor's intentions, but it was just said in the court, and there was no will. For the sake of the great Zhou Dynasty, the old man hopes that the emperor can think about it again. ”

"Thinking about building a library?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Today's capital is unprecedentedly prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, for the sake of future generations, we are going to build a library. Your Majesty, you know that the students of Guozijian are only a few hundred, far less than the thousand people of the previous dynasty, and we can only hope for the imperial court if we learn from generation to generation and compete with each other! ”

Lao Shangshu said that he was emotional, and he coughed a few times from time to time.

Gonggong Li had already brought a cup of tea at the right time.

Compared to the previous dynasty? The previous dynasty had been recuperating for almost two hundred years! It is this kind of general rest that can be taken away by their Zhou family.

"What does the Ministry of Industry mean?" The emperor was not very moved, he asked the Ministry of Works casually.

He Shilang suddenly felt like he was sweating profusely, what is the problem? They all asked his head, how could he answer.

"The Ministry of Industry already has a plan for the dance building, please take a look at it." He just did what the emperor asked.

Gonggong Li took the plan from He Yi's hand and handed it forward, and the emperor glanced at it twice and put it aside. The Ministry of Industry obviously wants to be a clean shopkeeper on both sides, the emperor hates this kind of behavior, but he doesn't know how to come back, it seems that more and more officials are doing things like this, no matter what can be picked up, pick it clean and happy.

For example, the Mingling Building, the fire is burning! Can't find out who did it? It seems that no one has come to report the crime, which makes people wonder if they set it on fire. It's not suitable to always have such a piece of scorched earth in the downtown area, and when it was first proposed to build a floor, almost no one came up with an idea, and it looked like a memorable one, which annoyed people.

However, Concubine Die said bluntly that she was too homesick, and she was so willful that she wanted to build a Xiliang-style dance building by herself. He only gestured that there was almost no opposition from the court, and the emperor had an inexplicable frustration in the face of such a court.

However, Lao Shangshu's straightforward advice made him feel quite comforted in his heart, although the construction of the library not only costs a lot, but also the income behind it, which is also visible. It's just that if Chen Shangshu invites it, it is really a hundred-year plan.

In the final analysis, there are still direct ministers and good generals in this court.

"Your Majesty, this is the signature of these literati and scholars asked by Yan Shizi in the poetry building, and all the students in the world are eagerly looking forward to you being able to build a library."

Yan Shizi? This kid is very idle, and he still has time to collect the thoughts of these literati and artists. I heard that Yan Shizi often talked freely about building a building in the poetry building and cocktail party, and all the students said that it was too difficult to borrow books from the library, and some ordinary people simply didn't even have the opportunity to enter the library.

The Yan family has won the hearts of the world's scholars, but now his actions have made him steal the limelight, and I don't know who taught him.

Yan Hui?

The emperor was a little distracted!

"According to Lao Shangshu's words, the construction of the library building is the head of the Ministry of Engineering, and everything can be handled by Chen Shangshu, and there is no need to report everything to me."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Lao Shangshu almost didn't have his jaw dropped, and he felt kowtow to thank him.

Is this shit luck? He Shilang of the Ministry of Industry was quite unconvinced.
