Mei Mansion is always a lantern color, that is, on the lantern is also a lot of effort, whether the color is good, or thick, Mei Huaigu understands the emperor and knows that the emperor likes to be simple. But it's too simple, they don't do anything, and they are afraid that the emperor will think that the Mei Mansion does not pay enough attention to it.

It's hard to kill a person.

The main thing is that Liu Jin can't count on it.

That is, the kung fu a month ago, he originally intended to discuss with Liu Jin that when the emperor inspected the academy, he would arrange for the two younger sisters to come over to facilitate a meeting.

But later the emperor issued an order to ask Huai Yuanbo to abstain from sex at home, and as soon as this decree was made, Liu Jin knew that the emperor knew about it. But the emperor hid it and scared him half to death.

This time, I didn't dare to arrange anything more.

After that, Liu Jin always wondered if Mei Huaigu secretly revealed something to the emperor, this kind of behavior of sticking a knife in the back is really hateful, and this one was naturally recorded.

It's just that Mei Fu is also a holy favor, the two of them have different identities and the same nature, and it is not easy to bring down Mei Huaigu.

The emperor intentionally or unintentionally dismantled Liu Jin's influence in the palace, put a special place behind him, and made him and Mei Huaigu suspicious of each other, this pattern strengthened the emperor's sense of security, and made everyone except the emperor tremble all the time, and there was no other way than to rely on the emperor closely.

The logic of power itself makes everyone inevitably go to their own destiny, and the people born in it still want to struggle, Mei Huaigu is in her early twenties, of course, she doesn't want to end her life as the son of a businessman.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to the arrival of the emperor.

But for him, the 200,000 taels of silver seemed stingy when he took it out in front of the emperor, discussed it with the account office for a long time, and went to see the accounts.

In the Ming Dynasty, businessmen would make some 'political investments', and if you think that someone is more likely to be admitted to the imperial examination, you will befriend him when you are white, and if you say that you are making friends, you can also talk about funding.

In this way, when he becomes an official in the future, won't he be able to see the reward?

The Mei Mansion had no foundation in Beijing, and Mrs. Mei was helpless, so she made these methods to expand her influence step by step in the early years. And it's not Mei who does this, basically businessmen with a little wealth will do this.

If he doesn't do this, he will not feel safe, because others will do this, and you can't borrow the power of the government at a critical time, can you still keep your family wealth?

Mei Huaigu wanted to move this silver, which was about more than 20,000 taels, but Mrs. Mei did not agree.

And when Mrs. Mei first heard that the emperor was coming, she was very surprised, this graceful and luxurious woman, who was still in her forties and still beautiful, had struggled in the ups and downs of the Forbidden City until now, and had long since faded away from the innocence and naivety of her early years, "Your Majesty is so good, how could he come to our house? How did this happen?"

Mei Huaigu was anxious to ask for money, so he spoke eloquently, and then said, "...... The two younger sisters may also fly on the branches because of this."

Mrs. Mei is proud, plump, her black eyebrows are extremely neatly trimmed, although the skin is a little less firm, but it is better than snow white, otherwise she would not have given birth to such a beautiful son as Mei Huaigu.

….

Huaixiao and Huaiyan were born of a servant, she didn't care, she just didn't believe it, she also heard about the big and small things in the capital, how could the current emperor be the holy lord of Yingduan, how could he be intoxicated with the land of gentleness. Of course, this kind of talk should not be said too early, after all, it is a fifteen-year-old boy, and he has just learned about men and women, so he may find it interesting.

If it's not for this, then for what?

"If you want silver, my mother will give you some more money. But the money that enveloped the scholars could not be stopped. If you do something outside, either don't do it, or do it well, and stop halfway, others can't remember the benefits you gave in the past, and you will remember your bad things in turn. Your father is jealous in Zhejiang, and there is no plum character in the eyes of the scholars in the southeast, and the rest ...... It's broken!"

Lady May suddenly thought of a very bad possibility. Mei Mansion is afraid that it will also suffer such a catastrophe as Gu Zuo, the emperor is here, and the officials of the court will not let it go. The Emperor could have taken this opportunity to clean up the group

paused, but suddenly wanted to send Meifu to the cusp, how could she, as the person concerned, be at peace in her heart?

She immediately retreated, and her heart was already very anxious.

The emperor's methods are old and spicy, where is the reason for coming to Meifu for what kind of woman, his son has been used, and he is full of joy.

……

……

"This matter still has to start with people who have some intersections with the Mei Mansion." Mao Wenyu explained to his subordinate Tian Er, "The matter of Huaiyuanbo and Meifu is not a glorious matter of honoring the ancestors, in the final analysis, someone still spread it. In the past few years, Meifu has subsidized some Jinshi from other places, and if you study it carefully, the crime of raiding the house is enough. However, Mei Huaigu has a smooth road, even if he befriends the court officials, he will not do anything. But it's hard to say what each of those officials is thinking."

Tian Erxin said that he copied the home of Meifu...... Where is it so serious, the leader is also too aggressive.

"Hubu Guizhou Shilang Zhong Zhan Xiushan, a person from Jiangxi, the second class jinshi and the first in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi. Ying Zhaoan, a person from Henan, ranked sixth in the top three in the 12th year of Hongzhi. Guozijian Siye Zhong Zhengxi is also from Henan."

Tian Ernian was the face that their people had seen in the Mei Mansion.

"Send people to keep an eye on these people, especially after Your Majesty has gone to the Mei Mansion."

Earlier, Mao Wenyu also reported to the emperor that Jiang Tongzu, Ma Yiqian and others who were demoted to be ordinary people,

Seeing that there was little hope for the political future, these people gathered people to spread some crooked theories in private, and although the results were not fast, they gradually gained some influence.

Now he, the head of the secret service, can't tell whether there are any of their comrades in the court.

If there is, then it is also possible to collude with each other secretly and destroy the image of the emperor. Because the emperor is great, glorious and right, it is they who are hypocritical, short-sighted, and selfish.

If the emperor is a tyrant or a faint monarch, as the person who was deposed at the beginning, isn't he just upright?

Zhu Houzhao's method of occupying the commanding heights of public opinion is not such an esoteric thing, and a clever literati can understand it.

And some people don't feel that they are doing despicable things, and they can have such an impasse with the emperor at that time, naturally they are extremely disagreeable in some aspects, so it is a matter of course to think that they are right.

….

As for the voices that say that the upper sparse want to 'look back), in fact, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false Jinyiwei now, because whether they are related to Zhejiang or not, they are scolding.

The emperor could not depose hundreds of officials for such a small matter. This kind of extreme political manipulation can be a momentary pleasure. However, it is particularly prone to deterioration of the political ecology.

So at this time, I can only touch the melon along the vine.

As for the emperor's travel, it was actually relatively low-key, except for the eunuchs who handled the errands, no one in the outside world had heard of it, nor did they know the emperor's whereabouts. Maybe some people are still waiting outside the attendant room, but in fact, Zhu Houzhao has already entered the gate of the Mei Mansion.

……

Huai Xiao and Huai Yan were specially instructed on how to salute when they met the emperor. In fact, they are not the only ones.

The whole Mei Mansion had been trained by Mei Huaigu in this way, and he felt that deliberately meeting in private might anger the emperor, so it was right to let everyone come out and kneel to greet him.

The peach blossoms covered the girl's face, a meeting that should have been ordinary, because of many previous events, which made the two girls feel nostalgic for spring. Only their mother-in-law Gu Shi was worried, and her two daughters originally hoped to marry a good family, but they didn't expect to have a Huaiyuan uncle.

The Royal Palace, is it such a good place to go?

In particular, the identity of Huaixiao and Huaiyan is actually only equivalent to the daughter of a businessman, and the current emperor is a generation of heroes, since ancient times, heroes love the country, how many people regard women as the same thing?

This time, the emperor's sudden arrival is also, early and late, but at this time, although she does not understand the government, but to say that there is no factor for her to believe it.

But even if these words are told to Huaixiao and Huaiyan, where will these two children who have just been fourteen or fifteen years understand and believe.

I only think that Brother Huaigu's statement is good, and the emperor is worried that they will not be able to get married, so he has this visit.

The emperor is a young talent, a talent and benevolence first, and it is more of a hero to save the beauty, so naturally this version is better.

Zhu Houzhao 'took the lead, and when he arrived at the Mei Mansion, he sat directly on the throne, and Mrs. Mei and Mei Huaigu led a group of family members to kneel to greet him.

「…… Some things in the early years made the Meifu family unable to reunite. I did it in desperation, but after a few years, there are actually some rules that I don't need. Nostalgic grew up with me and was one of the people I trusted the most. I also want to tell Mrs. Mei the good news this time, the will has gone to Zhejiang, and this year's Dragon Boat Festival will finally be in time for the reunion."

When the Mei Mansion heard the meaning of the emperor's words, no matter how calm his heart was, his heart trembled.

Mrs. May burst into tears and gritted her teeth in thanksgiving.

"Your Majesty treats the minister's family very kindly, and the crow still knows how to feed back, how can the minister not be considerate of the holy will?" Mei Huaigu raised his hand and saluted, "The minister also has a filial piety to dedicate to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao's face did not move, he knew that there would be this link, "Let's hear it."

"The minister knows that His Majesty is anxious about the people's rations every day, and recently the Shaofu in the Beijing Division has been recruiting workers on a large scale, saying that it is a large-scale construction project, but in fact, it has given many displaced people a way to live. Your Majesty can know that there are many displaced people in Hebei, and the displaced people who flock to Beijing will only last more than a year after that.

….

"What do you want to do when you recruit someone?" Zhu Houzhao's brain is too fast, and he can penetrate it at one point.

"The minister wants to ...... After all, it will take thousands of people to make some silver to build the largest and best restaurant!"

"What if you lose money?"

"That's not afraid, if you lose, you will dedicate it to Shaofu, and you can also grow my face when you receive foreign guests in the future."

Zhu Houzhao smiled lightly, he, the emperor, had become a clerk for attracting investment, "Your filial piety is indeed good. But I can't go around taking people's stuff. This is a commercial behavior, since you have spent money, you still have a good life, and don't give it away indiscriminately if you lose money, at least the Shaofu will not want it."

"Yes."

After receiving the compliment, after a while, Mei Huaigu was still thinking about the incident, so he said, "Your Majesty, there is a natural lake connected to the back of Weichen's mansion, and there is a peach forest planted by the lake, and Weichen wants to ask Your Majesty to take a look."

Zhu Houzhao has actually just seen the two girls of Huaixiao and Huaiyan that have been spread by the outside world, and from the bottom of his heart, the two sisters are indeed good-looking, their eyebrows and eyes are very similar, and they are both double eyelids with spring eyes, and their figures are not visible, but their skin is fair, without any flaws, and their mouths are small and elastic.

He is not a eunuch, of course, he can tell whether a girl is beautiful or not, and he is as lustful as any other man. But kneeling, he can't see his height, aesthetically speaking, he still wants a lot of white skin, beautiful and long legs.

He doesn't bother with this kind of thing, and it's not impossible to bring it to the palace, this is the emperor's right, and he has to face the practical problem of giving birth to an heir. Anyway, the psychological age is not an innocent young man in his teens, what does it look like to answer shyly, and he is not getting into it to be a queen. And if someone enters the palace, someone can return to Beijing, and this relationship is always like this.

As long as it does not affect his governance, he can still get along with these people.

But where there are peach blossoms, he can't go. After all, the era name is still called Hongji.

"The peach tree will be seen next time, and everyone else will go down." Nostalgic, I have something to say to you." The emperor also glanced at Liu Jin and You Di and motioned for them not to leave.

A trace of doubt flashed in the hearts of these two old guys, Your Majesty is not here for women, but for what is it to test? Or did you not like ......?!
