"You don't even know him?" Xu Xianchun looked at Li Xiao, as if he was looking at a piece of stool.

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me who he is?"

"This is Wang Wenyan, a Chinese scholar, to tell you. Don't offend him in the capital, he used to be a prison official in a county in Anhui. Later, I got mixed up, and I was invited to the capital to continue messing around. He has a bad relationship with the husband of the former celebrant and the king of seals.

The relationship with those people in Donglin is even more iron, and one of us will get him after the governor takes power. Everyone was in prison, but nothing happened to turn around and come out. After coming out, the market is not generally bullish, not only the first auxiliary leaves to the high. Even Yang Lianzuo Guangdou and those people also visited the mansion all day long. A person who has not gained fame actually sat in the position of a scholar in the middle school.

As you saw today, he has a seat next to His Majesty. Look at Wang's husband, isn't the person who grew up waiting for His Majesty to be standing? I can remind you not to offend him in the capital. Otherwise, the consequences will be tragic. Xu Xianchun looked at Wang Wenyan, who was riding on a horse in front of him, and was very afraid in his words.

There are really few people in the capital who can make Xu Xianchun afraid, and this guy can scare Jinyiwei like this, which is enough to prove that his skills are clever.

The team kept returning to the palace, and Wang Wenyan didn't know when he got out of the carriage. Maybe he was still in the carriage, anyway, Li Xiao didn't see this guy get out of the carriage.

Zhu Youxiao got out of the carriage and got on the foot back to the Qianqing Palace, and under the leadership of Wang Tiqian, Li Xiaohe had to follow. When Xu Xianchun and the others arrived at the gate of the palace, they did not dare to take a step forward. Li Xiao's subordinates naturally couldn't go to the palace for a day trip.

Li Xiao came to this palace hundreds of years later, when many places were different from now. However, the regulations of the Qianqing Palace have not changed, with bright yellow glazed tiles and red palace walls. The eaves and arches stand in a forest, showing the majesty of the royal family.

The Qianqing Palace is undergoing the largest renovation since its completion. Ai Husheng took two guys and ran before and after. The craftsmen who will be the prisoners are also busy, so that His Majesty the Emperor can see the sunlight when he sits in the hall as soon as possible. All of them are doing their best!

Glass is still a luxury in these years, and it can be distinguished in a glass jade pendant. When the glass hairpin can make the most beautiful prostitute loose and untied, it is unthinkable to inlay glass on doors and windows on such a large scale.

There is no better way for the royal family to show off their wealth. Although some people have thought about it before, they can be intimidated by the high cost of construction. Now there is a stupid bold man who actually took the initiative to ask for the glass window to be changed for His Majesty the Emperor. Everyone actively cooperated, and they just wanted to see how this rich fool went bankrupt.

For Li Xiao, bankruptcy does not exist at all. It's just something that is burned out of a pile of sand, and the shipping cost is several times more expensive than the cost of burning glass.

The craftsmen who will be the overseers are far better than the craftsmen on the island. After all, it was the ancestors who waited for the emperor for generations, and they still couldn't come out and mix without two brushes.

"Li Xiao, how do you look at my people?" Zhu Youxiao proudly said to the half-faced window that had been completed, it had only been done like this in two days. He really had a reason to be proud.

"The people trained by His Majesty are naturally ingenious." Li Xiao arched his hands and bowed his body, and said to the emperor, who was slightly taller than him. Since you have chosen to be an official, some things are inevitably vulgar, such as flattery.

Anyway, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn!

"You've got these good things, and I'm very happy." Zhu Youxiao seemed to see the construction scene and was happy from the bottom of his heart. Walking in front of the craftsman who cut the glass, Wang Tiqian immediately snatched the glass knife from the craftsman's hand, and then impatiently blasted the craftsman away.

Zhu Youxiao held a glass knife and scratched on the glass. With a wooden stick in his hand, the glass knife went down very straight. A knife to the head, the hand lightly knocked on the glass. As soon as the rectangular glass came off, it fell off the large piece of glass. If he hadn't known that this brother was the emperor, Li Xiao would have thought that he had met the old glass master.

The glass size is just right, placed in the slot of the window frame, not too big and not small at all. The window frame is two centimeters high, and the accuracy of the error is very low. But Zhu Youxiao has done a tight fit, and the title of carpenter emperor is well deserved.

Li Xiao wanted to say two words of compliment next to him, but he really didn't know what to say. In terms of the skill of boasting people, Li Xiao can be regarded as a bronze player.

If the bronze player fails, there will naturally be a king.

"Your Majesty's skill in cutting this glass is three points more powerful than the best knife hand in the imperial kitchen. If you take out this glass, it will sell for five hundred gold. Wang Tiqian was beside him, and his face was already smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Inadvertently with simple language, perfect facial expressions. showed Li Xiao Mr. Wang's excellent skills, as a successful person among eunuchs, Wang Tiqian is qualified. From physical to psychological, it's fucking qualified.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head and said that he liked Mr. Wang's silent sycophancy.

Li Xiao pursed his lips helplessly, he still has a long way to cultivate in terms of shamelessness. At least the thickness of the skin, I hope that there is no thickness of the king's body. Looking at Zhu Youxiao's complacent appearance, Li Xiao was even a little embarrassed.

pinched his thigh and began to despise himself, in two stinky and shameless faces, he was noble and great, and he didn't need to have any embarrassment.

"Mr. Li, this Qianqing Palace has been replaced with glass windows, and the windows are very bright. But the inside of these three halls is dark and damp, and candles have to be lit every day. Our old eyes are not good at being smoked by candles. It's hard to say anything about our family as a slave, but Your Majesty's Ninety-Five. The burden of all the people in the world is on Your Majesty's body, and if Your Majesty's body is damaged, it will be a misfortune for the subjects of the world.

Is there any way for Li Jiang to make the three major halls as bright as the Qianqing Palace? ”

The three major halls, the Zhonghe Palace, the Baohe Palace, and the Huangji Palace. This is the name of the Ming Dynasty, and it was time for the Qing Dynasty. The Huangji Hall was renamed the Taihe Palace! These three halls are all paved with gold bricks, and the beams and pillars are made of high-quality golden silk nanmu. The whole hall was filled with fragrance, and insects and ants did not dare to approach.

In such a place, Wang Tiqian actually said that it was dark and damp, and it was obvious that he was looking for something to say. There is only one purpose, the Qianqing Palace has finished replacing the glass windows, and the three major halls have not been changed. Since you kid is rich, you don't mind stammering with the emperor again.

Zhu Youxiao gave Wang Tiqian an appreciative look, and said angrily: "You slave doesn't know what to do, Brother Xiao has already helped me change the glass of the Qianqing Palace." Even if he had some money, he still had to keep the maintenance of the soldiers and horses against the Tartars. The big things of the family and the country, how can such a small thing be said. Go down! ”

"No! Slave Meng Lang, Your Majesty forgives you! Wang Tiqian bowed, which was a perfect match for His Majesty the Emperor's performance.

"Li Qing, don't listen to this old minion. I summoned you here to ask you about the recovery of Liaodong. Zhu Youxiao said to Li Xiao with a smile.

Li Xiao watched the clumsy performances of these two from the side, which was really shameless. It is no wonder that the officials of the Ming Dynasty have a tradition of collecting money to do things, and His Majesty the Emperor began to ask for bribes. The people at the bottom don't go up and down to get out of the way!

But after all, he is the emperor, and giving you a hint is already a face. Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing would let Wei Zhongxian come to the door to ask for it. Maybe His Majesty the Emperor also felt embarrassed, but he happened to meet Li Xiao today, so he bothered to play with Wang Tiqian.

Since the emperor gave you face, you have to carry it. Whoever makes the family the emperor will have to live under the hands of others.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the second batch of glass is already on the way to procurement. It's just that......! ”

"Oh, Li Qing can just say if he has any difficulties. Ouchi still has some silver, but he won't let Li Qing suffer. Zhu Youxiao heard Li Xiao pause, and immediately asked with concern.

"Your Majesty knows that this thing is very brittle. But when passing by the Commodity Inspection Department and the City Shipping Division, those people ......! The loss is very good, Your Majesty, do you see if it is ......! ”

The Commodity Inspection Department and the Municipal Shipping Department are roughly equivalent to the customs of later generations. These people hold the right to collect taxes, and they want the lion to open their mouths when they eat and take cards. Ai Husheng said several times that the ships on Phi Island were blackmailed by them, and now the ships on Phi Island dare to dock, and these people come up to ask for money.

"Hmmm! Li Qing is a hard-working hero, I will not let you be bullied by others. Wang Tiqian, you go and tell Wei Zhongxian to take care of it. In the future, Li Qing's ship, whoever dares to embarrass will not be able to get along with me. Thinking that the three major halls could be replaced with spacious and bright glass windows without spending a penny, Zhu Youxiao was so happy.

"No! The old slave went to inform the factory father. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The ministers will transport the glass to the capital as soon as possible for the three major halls in exchange. Li Xiao bowed deeply to Zhu Youxiao. As long as Wei Zhongxian is asked to operate this matter again, where will there be people from the City Department and the Commodity Inspection Department to find trouble in the future.

Without their extortion, the ship of Phi Dao could even sail directly into the Yangtze River. The cost of the cost is greatly reduced!

A few boats of glass in exchange for such a great convenience, Li Xiao made a lot of money this time.

Hearing Li Xiao's assurance, Zhu Youxiao was also very happy. After all, he didn't spend a penny, and the three major halls were replaced with glass windows. Since you don't want to spend money, then giving some policies is also the meaning of the topic. The emperor can't take advantage of it.

The win-win result satisfies everyone, and it is estimated that the only one who is not satisfied. It was the eunuchs of the Commodity Inspection Department and the City Shipping Division, and no one dared to blackmail Li Xiao's ship anymore.

"I'm going over there!" Seeing that Li Xiao had already agreed to come down, Zhu Youxiao raised his leg and left.

The emperor is such a ruthless creature, as long as the goal is achieved, he doesn't even bother to say a word to Li Xiao.

Looking at the emperor who was pretending to be forced, Li Xiao was very envious. He also wanted to pretend to be like this, but unfortunately, his strength did not allow it.

When the emperor left, Wang Tiqian naturally left. Only a handsome-looking little eunuch was left and took Li Xiao out of the palace. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, the rule in the palace was that outsiders were not allowed to stay overnight. Of course, if you are a eunuch, even staying overnight is not too much of a problem.

It is not clear which is in the palace, although later generations have visited the Palace Museum. But there was no way to compare it at that time, and when he saw the Shenwu Gate, Li Xiao's nose was almost crooked.

Shenwu Gate is similar to the Xuanwu Gate in Chang'an. It's all the back door of the palace, even if Lao Tzu is not a big official, you can't lead Lao Tzu through the back door.

However, after seeing a chubby middle-aged man, Li Xiao knew why he came to the back door of the palace.

"Little Brother Li is invited!" Wang Wenyan's own smiling face is very pleasing, and it is festive when you look at it.

Although I listened to Xu Xianchun's words, I knew that this gentleman was very capable of mixing in the capital. But Li Xiao is not vigilant against this person, and the reason is that harmless smiling face.

"Lord Wang, please!" Seeing this kind of character who can be mixed in style, Li Xiao is very polite. It's much better to pretend to be a good baby next door with him than to pretend to be the boss.

"If Brother Li is fine, can Wang have a drink?"

"Lord Wang invited him to drink, and the kid naturally didn't dare to refuse."

"Please!"

"Please!"

Out of the Shenwu Gate, the two of them wandered around like ordinary passers-by. I don't even have a guard around! Because he followed the emperor into the palace, Li Xiao's revolver was not taken away. Of course, when leaving the palace, there is generally no body search.

It seems that a roadside stall was arranged at random, the store is not big, there are only four tables, and there is no shopkeeper. Li Xiao and Wang Wenyan walked in, only said a word about the wine and food, and the shopkeeper immediately went into the back kitchen and began to fry and fry.

Looking around, only an old man sitting with his back to Li Xiao was sitting on the table behind Li Xiao. Her silver-white hair was dyed blonde by the sunlight coming in from the window.

"How did the little brother know that Miss Xiangxiang was Luzhu today?" Wang Wenyan did not shy away from it, and directly asked the question he wanted to know. A pair of smiling eyes looked directly at Li Xiao.

It's a strange feeling, and the other person's face is full of smiles. But his eyes are like an eagle staring at his prey!

Li Xiao felt that where Wang Wenyan was looking, there seemed to be an awl piercing.

"There is a steward in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, because he wants to join my command, so he told the secret of Miss Xiangxiang. But he didn't know that Miss Xiangxiang was Green Pearl. According to him, it was because he heard the maid of the Xiangxiang girl speaking Tartar language.

Oh! Don't ask me whether I believe it or not, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. ”

"Since the famous brothers have chosen to believe it, Wang has no reason not to believe it. However, Wang still wants to remind Brother Xiao that it is better not to let people know about this matter. Otherwise, it will not be good for you, Wang, or even Your Majesty. Do you know what's at stake? ”

"Uh......! There are a lot of people today, I'm afraid! ”

"It doesn't matter if there are many people, it doesn't matter if there are miscellaneous eyes! The people of Jinyiwei will not say it, and the people of Dongchang will not say it. The only ones left are your people, so ......! ”

"So, once this thing leaks out, it's my people who say it. How dare you say that the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang will not leak their mouths? ”
