Zhu Youzhi faced his wife's aggressiveness, so he could only reluctantly explain: "Queen, everything is decided, if you change it at will, how can I explain it to the imperial grandmother?" ”

At a critical time, the only way to do this is to use the old lady as a shield.

"If Your Majesty can't wipe off your face, let the concubines say, the Empress Dowager can't be unreasonable, right?" Empress Zhang's attitude is very persistent.

The loss of her two younger brothers is absolutely unbearable for her, both for the silver and for the sake of face.

Zhu Youzhu wants to say, it's you who is unreasonable, right?

He hurriedly took out a rational posture of presenting facts and reasoning, and said seriously: "Queen, in fact, I went out today and saw the wood and stone piled up by Heling and Yanling in the mansion, all of which were ...... I also bought some back, if you don't believe me, I will have someone bring some to show you. ”

"Your Majesty, now that someone is participating in the impeachment of the Zhou family, the material is not good, and you actually let the concubines stop, saying that Heling and Trillium are shoddy? Isn't that a reversal of right and wrong? ”

Empress Zhang is angry.

Once the little woman's stubbornness kicks in, the nine cows can't pull it back.

Zhu Youzhu obviously made the most common mistake in the quarrel between men and women, trying to suppress women's sensibilities with reason.

At this time, men are reasonable, and it is wrong to say more, and it is wrong not to say it.

"Besides, what happened to Your Majesty's belongings worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver copied from Li Guang's mansion and used some of them to give to the concubine's younger brother? Could it be that His Majesty only has the court and no concubines in his eyes? Whining...... Concubines shouldn't marry into the palace......"

Empress Zhang made another trick.

Cry!

cried and made trouble, and before he came to hang himself, Zhu Youzhu couldn't resist it.

"Don't be sad, queen, I think about it again and see if I can find a way to find a compromise......," Zhu Youji hurriedly comforted his wife.

Zhu Youzhu was also very depressed at this time.

I was thinking in my heart, if others were worried about the silver in my purse, I would have to fan it with a big-eared scraper, even if it was the old minister, I wouldn't give face.

But if my queen wants to ...... me Husbands and wives should not be separated from each other in the first place......

What a little money I have! It's going to be unsaved!

Empress Zhang said: "The concubine wants Your Majesty to go and tell the Empress Dowager to hand over the supply to Heling and Trillium!" If you don't go, the concubine will go in person! ”

"Don't ......"

Zhu Youzhu was really scared, and finally said helplessly, "Let me think about it, I will go back to review the music first, and tell you the news later." ”

……

……

Zhu Youzhu returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Sitting there, he had no intention of doing anything at all, saying that it was just a perfunctory excuse for Empress Zhang, he hesitated again and again, as if he wanted to muster up the courage to go to the Empress Dowager Zhou to talk about it.

The imperial grandmother cherishes me the most, so she should be concerned about the harmony between my husband and wife at this time, right?

"Your Majesty......" Xiao Jing appeared in front of Zhu Youji, "The Empress Dowager invites you over." ”

Zhu Youzhu first chuckled in his heart, and said that it must be no good thing for the old lady to call, but after thinking about it again, maybe the imperial grandmother was reasonable and asked me to go over and rediscuss this matter?

Just when Zhu Youzhu was about to go to see the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Xiao Jing asked very ignorantly: "Your Majesty, the batch of wood purchased from the Zhangjia warehouse, the slaves and maids don't know where to pile up." ”

These words were like a basin of cold water poured on Zhu Youji's head.

The Zhang brothers' pile of broken material actually dared to ask for 103,000 taels...... As soon as Zhu Youzhu thought of this, he had the urge to hit someone.

And he obviously said in front of his son that if the materials of the Zhou family are the same as those of the Zhang family, he would rather not use them on both sides, is it now necessary to make his wife satisfied, destroy his own principles, and use broken materials to repair Qingning Palace?

If the emperor releases it, can he still swallow it back?

"Drive Renshou Palace!"

Zhu Youji's face was gloomy like a torrential rain, and Xiao Jing didn't get a reply to his request, so he didn't dare to ask any more.

……

……

Inside the Inju Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhou was not verbose, and immediately explained her intentions: "...... When the mourning family heard about it, there were officials who impeached the stones and timber purchased by the two younger brothers of the mourning family, saying that the quality was not good, and there was a intention to fool the emperor and the court. ”

"Imperial grandmother, in fact, ......"

Zhu Youzhu was about to explain, but saw Empress Dowager Zhou stretch out her hand to interrupt him.

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "The mourning family is afraid that His Majesty is unwilling to brush off the filial piety in his heart because of his private abolition, so he specially found someone to go to the Taiji Factory to see it, the materials are all good materials, obviously there are words and officials who deliberately reverse right and wrong out of nothing, if you don't believe it, emperor, you can send someone to investigate to see if this is really the case." ”

Zhu Youji's face turned red.

He was embarrassed to say that I had already seen it in person, and unlike what Yanguan played, the Zhou family used good materials, while the Zhang family was inferior.

Empress Dowager Zhou said again: "Emperor, if you send someone to verify that it is correct, you shouldn't break the rules set, and whoever has the lowest price will buy it, and the two younger brothers of the Mourning family are also bent on repairing the Qingning Palace, and they have to pay so much silver to procure it at one time, which is a lot of pressure on them." You don't joke, the emperor, you won't regret it, right? ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Youzhu heard that the purpose of the old lady's pressure on him was to give him a positive answer, although there was a hidden worry about the disharmony between husband and wife, he still gritted his teeth and said so.

No way.

So the rules are.

When the emperor can not be the first to take the lead in disobedience.

is also because the Zhang brothers are not like it, if the quality of the materials on both sides is about the same, it doesn't matter if Zhu Youzhu recognizes the expensive one, but it is nearly 40,000 taels of silver, and the expensive one is still inferior, so how can the emperor destroy the principle in his heart?

"That's okay, the mourning family believes in you, if you want to deal with the court, the mourning family won't bother much."

"The grandson is leaving."

……

……

When Zhu Youzhu returned to the Qianqing Palace, he was no longer sulking there, but sighing.

Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and Chen Kuan stood beside them, and they didn't dare to breathe.

This is the emperor's family affair, who dares to care?

"Alas! What's going on? It's all set! ”

Zhu Youzhu also seemed to feel that he had delayed state affairs for the sake of his side affairs, and couldn't help but look up at the three eunuchs.

Dai Yi said: "Your Majesty, there is a note that Wang Junmen, the governor of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yansui, and Ningxia military affairs, has set off from Yansui and returned to the capital. also took a note, thank the emperor for giving medicine. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Youzhu nodded.

Wang Yue wants to return to the capital, which has been set a long time ago, and there is no big problem.

"There have been discussions in the DPRK and China early in the morning, saying that it is time to determine a candidate to succeed Wang Junmen, and the cabinet has requested that the court hold a meeting tomorrow morning." Dai Yi added.

"Okay! Anything else? ”

Zhu Youzhu looked absent-minded.

Dai Yi said again: "There is another ...... The British public thanked the table. ”

"Thank you?" Zhu Youzhu frowned when he heard this, "What is the British Duke doing?" ”

It seems that in Zhu Youji's mind, Zhang Mao is just a matter of force, and if he has nothing to do, he will find some trouble or something.

Dai Yi reminded: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You instructed Mr. Zhang Zhouzhang to go to his house and see a doctor for his son......"

"Oh. Is there such a thing, didn't Bingkuan go? ”

"Mr. Zhang didn't go, but he sent the second son of the Zhu family to deliver the prescription, but he was kicked by Mr. Zhang. The result...... Gonggong Xiao went to tell him, and then the Zhang family took Mr. Zhang's prescription for a while...... Now the condition has improved greatly, and people can go to the ground! ”

"Really?"

Zhu Youzhu was not in a good mood, but when he heard this, he immediately became energetic.

A long-lost smile finally appeared on his face, and there was a kind of joy that "I really didn't believe him wrong".

Dai Yi handed the thank you table to Zhu Youzhu and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”

A thank you form full of sycophants, Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a word, and he was in a good mood after reading it.

"Hmm. It seems that Bingkuan is really a capable person, let him treat me, and I will be much more relieved. ”

Zhu Youzhu originally thought that letting Zhang Zhou treat fertility problems was just holding the attitude of trying it out, and the probability of success was half to half at most, which showed this thing, and his confidence doubled.

Xiao Jing also smiled and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, soft foot disease can be said to be an incurable disease among the people, and even the divine doctor is helpless." ”

Dai Yi said: "What's so strange about this? Even acne can be cured, and soft foot disease is nothing. ”

Zhu Youzhu put down the thank you watch, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "I am so happy, there is something I suddenly want to understand, the queen asked me to purchase the wood and stone in the hands of Shouning Hou and Jianchangbo, I shouldn't brush the queen's meaning, just find a place to repair it, find a clear eye, and buy back the Zhangjiamu stone!" ”

Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and Chen Kuan all looked confused.

Emperor, which tendon is wrong?

Knowing that the Zhang brothers are all rotten materials, they still want to purchase it back?

This kind of silver, let the household reimbursement, the household will not be this kind of wronged, then only the royal government itself will pay the silver...... Is the emperor having trouble with his purse?

But how do they know that when the emperor heard that Zhang Zhou had the ability to cure diseases and save people, the first thing he thought of was to make a villain with his wife, and now his wife is still angry with him, if he just spends tens of thousands of taels to buy a husband and wife harmony, it is nothing in Zhu Youji's eyes.

If you break the material, you will break the material.

Anyway, he copied a lot from Li Guang's hands, so he should be ruined and avoid disasters, anyway, didn't the queen mention that he took the silver and didn't share the benefits to the Zhang family?

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" Dai Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, this ......" Zhu Youzhu was also speechless.

It's the problem of the century.

What can be repaired for that broken material? Can the imperial court's project fool people like this?

Zhu Youzhu thought for a long time, felt that he couldn't answer, shook his head and said, "Xiao Jing, you go and ask Bingkuan." ”

"Your Majesty?"

Xiao Jing didn't understand for a while.

Shouldn't you ask the minister about this kind of thing first?

Directly ask Zhang Zhousuan what he said?

"Yes, go to the cabinet first, ask the three cabinet elders, what their opinions are, and after comprehensively adopting their opinions, then ask Bingkuan, if it really doesn't work...... Then buy it back and pile it up! Or if they have a better insight, they can come back and talk to me, and I will consider it comprehensively. ”

Zhu Youzhu thought about it for a long time.

Since I don't know what to repair, I can buy those broken materials and put them away, so I don't break my promise, right?

"Yes!"

Xiao Jing can't let this happen.

He could only bite the bullet and go to the cabinet and Zhang Zhou to ask for advice.

……

……

Xiao Jing went to the cabinet room first, after all, the road was very close.

After arriving, he briefly greeted the three ministers, and he was also straight to the point.

The three ministers listened to Xiao Jing's meaning, and Liu Jian came out to express his doubts: "It is now the early winter season, except for the Qingning Palace, which must be repaired at this time, other projects have basically stopped, why does Your Majesty want to increase the construction projects in such a hurry?" And let me wait to provide advice, see where to repair? ”

Xiao Jing didn't hide it anymore, and said bluntly: "Actually, Your Majesty just doesn't want the material of the two uncles of the Zhang family to rot in his hands. ”

It's okay not to mention the Zhang brothers here, but after mentioning it, Liu Jian didn't even want to give face, but said patiently: "Now there is no errand to repair the palace in the court." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Jing didn't expect Liu Jian's answer to be so blunt.

Xie Qian next to him smiled and said, "What is the texture of this batch of materials?" ”

Of course, Xiao Jing couldn't say that it was all a bunch of, he smiled bitterly and didn't answer.

didn't answer, but the three people in front of him were all clear-eyed people, and they knew it in their hearts at once.

The price is expensive, and the quality may not be good, and the emperor actually wants to arrange an errand to purchase this batch of materials......

What is the emperor doing?

Could it be that there is so much money in the inner house that it can't be spent, so you have to find a way to spend it?

If you don't spend money, the emperor will be uncomfortable?

Li Dongyang also said: "Before the winter, it is difficult to reopen the project, if you really want to procure, you might as well put it to the court to discuss to see if there are any defects in various places, or it can be filled in batches." ”

Li Dongyang still fully considered the relationship between the cabinet ministers and the emperor, and he couldn't embarrass the emperor casually.

If the quality of this material is not good, it must not be used in one place, otherwise no one can afford to have an accident, and the emperor will eventually pursue the person who made the idea, and only by using it separately in different places can the impact of this matter be reduced as much as possible.
