Three cabinet ministers would not give the emperor too good an idea.

Being an official should pay attention to "stability" in doing things.

With their train of thought.

The broken material of the Zhang brothers, put it on the street for free, no one necessarily wants it, no matter where it is repaired in the end, anyway, don't fall on the head of your own yamen.

Xiao Jing had no choice but to leave the cabinet duty room and took a carriage straight to Zhang Zhou's house.

When Zhang Zhou learned that Xiao Jing was visiting, it was only a little more than an hour since the fight between Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Jun had passed.

"Father-in-law Xiao, you are ......"

What does Zhang Zhou mean, you won't be here to settle accounts on behalf of the emperor, right?

As soon as Xiao Jing entered the courtyard, his eyes fell on the courtyard that Zhang Zhou was repairing, with a little expectation in his eyes, if only the wood and stone materials of the Zhang family were used to repair Zhang Zhou's house.

Zhang Zhou instantly felt like he was being targeted.

"Father-in-law Xiao, if you have something serious, you might as well come in, and we'll talk about it." Zhang Zhoudao.

Xiao Jing said: "No need, Mr. Zhang, our family is just here to ask you for advice on behalf of His Majesty." You can say whatever comes to mind. ”

Zhang Zhou sighed: "If it is astrological celestial machine and six non divination, I don't understand; Alchemy and medicine, I am also a layman; If it's a major event in the DPRK and China, I'm not an official, so I'm a little embarrassed. ”

Xiao Jing was embarrassed.

Listen to what you mean, you don't know anything?

Nothing will still make a fuss in the court, and now the emperor treats you as a half-immortal with great magical powers.

Xiao Jing sighed: "After Your Majesty returned to the palace, for some reasons, it was decided to buy the batch of wood and stone materials in the hands of Shouning Hou and Jianchangbo from the Inner Palace...... Give it to use. ”

"Huh."

Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "Grandpa Xiao, are you laughing with you?" Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo are such good materials, where can they not be used? Still used for details? ”

"This ...... Where does Mr. Zhang see that it is good material? ”

Xiao Jing almost told Zhang Zhou.

That broken material really can't be used anywhere.

Zhang Zhou analyzed very seriously: "The purchase price of that batch of wood and stone must be very high, otherwise it would not have opened such a high price, no matter how bad it is, it is better than what Qingyunhou and Chang Ningbo Bo offered, right?" ”

"Oops."

Xiao Jing really couldn't say it directly, so he could only say around the bush, "Mr. Zhang, you are a person with magical powers, you should be able to calculate everything, don't go around in circles, where do you think it is appropriate?" Your Majesty doesn't mind giving out the money, but you don't know how to use it when you buy it. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Where did you come from, where do you send it back?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Jing was taken aback and said, "Mr. Zhang doesn't mean to say that it will be used to repair the Shouning Marquis Mansion and the Jianchang Bo Mansion, right?" ”

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Good material, I'm afraid they won't be willing to use it when they repair their own houses, right?" ”

“……”

Xiao Jing was speechless.

On the contrary, it's quite winding......

His Majesty wants them to use it, but the Zhang brothers estimate that they are not stupid, such broken materials replace the house that was originally built with good materials, they want to build their own neat and good house into a dilapidated house?

Is there any reason for tearing down the masonry house and building it into an adobe thatched house?

Isn't that more and more broken?

"It's a pity that living people use this good material." Zhang Zhoudao.

Xiao Jing hurriedly dissuaded Zhang Zhou's unrealistic thoughts: "Dead people can't be used, imperial tombs or something, we must be more cautious in building them." ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Then it can be used to repair the Zhang family's family temple, right?" I heard that the queen has always thought that the Zhangjiajia Temple in Xingji County is in disrepair, and wants His Majesty to repair it more, is it a bit extravagant to use this batch of good materials? ”

Xiao Jing stared at Zhang Zhou with wide eyes.

The muscles on his face twitched a few times, and his expression was mixed with the fear and avoidance of "that is, you dare to think, you are still ruthless".

"Can you repair the Zhangjia Temple?" Xiao Jing asked.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Xingji County is in Hejian Mansion, relying on Shuntian Mansion, it will be transported down along the canal in a few days, and the materials will be combined with manpower...... By the way, Gonggong Xiao, how much silver is Your Majesty going to spend on this matter? ”

"Uh......"

Xiao Jing couldn't answer.

What the emperor didn't say, he couldn't answer for the emperor.

Zhang Zhoudao: "I think it's only 65,000 taels of silver, and everyone is treated equally, will this make Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo feel at a loss?" ”

Xiao Jingxin said that if the Zhou family's wood and stone are worth 65,000 taels, the Zhang brothers' batch is afraid that it is not even worth 30,000 taels, and it will be a loss to give them 65,000 taels? It can kill them!

"Roughly calculated...... I guess it's pretty much the same. Xiao Jing said ambiguously.

Zhang Zhou nodded, and calculated carefully: "If you add artificial or something, it is estimated that it will take seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver to repair the Zhangjiajia Temple, and the Zhangjiajia Temple will be repaired with good materials, so that everyone will know that the Zhang family has produced capable people in this generation." ”

Xiao Jingxin said, are you sure that the queen knows and doesn't want to kill you?

But on second thought, I'm afraid it's the two younger brothers that the queen wants to slaughter, right?

So......

It's still you ruthless!

"Mr. Zhang, let's go."

Xiao Jing turned around and was about to leave.

Zhang Zhou said curiously: "Grandpa Xiao doesn't go in and sit?" Seeing that you brought these people, they are all from the factory and guards, and I plan to hold a banquet here. ”

Zhang Zhou also deliberately said loudly, and also let the surrounding craftsmen know that this family is not easy to mess with, and even the factory guards must be polite when they enter the door, not to provoke the officials, but to provoke the officials.

Xiao Jing said: "No, no, our family has to go back, don't bother much, you are busy!" Hiss ......"

Finally, he couldn't help but breathe between his teeth.

When I went out, I was still chanting: "Ruthless! ”

……

……

Qianqing Palace.

Xiao Jing reported the cabinet and Zhang Zhou's suggestions to Zhu Youji.

"What? Bingkuan asked me to repair this batch of materials to the family temple of Changguo Gong? He...... Didn't he know what it was? ”

When Zhu Youzhu heard this proposal at first glance, of course he felt that Zhang Zhou was fooling the ghosts.

But think about it, it's not easy to fool people with that broken material, but if you fool ghosts...... Even if the ghost is dissatisfied, he probably can't express it, right?

Xiao Jing could only pretend to be confused at this time, and spoke for Zhang Zhou: "Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang has never been to the Zhang family's mansion, so naturally I don't know what the situation of that batch of wood and stone is. ”

"Good material, it's really ......"

Zhu Youzhu didn't bother to criticize.

Dai Yi next to him said tentatively: "Your Majesty, maybe Mr. Zhang's proposal is feasible." ”

"Feasible? Dai Yi, do you know what kind of family temple the queen wants to build? If you use that material, the queen won't ...... if she knows it" Zhu Youzhu didn't finish speaking, but his anger was overflowing.

You people want to pour some tung oil on the queen's anger, right?

Dai Yi hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty, who will tell the queen?" ”

Zhu Youzhu was really speechless when asked for a while.

It's right to think about it.

As long as these people in front of him don't say it, Zhang Zhou doesn't say it...... Zhang Zhou may not know yet, will the Zhang brothers be stupid and run to talk about it?

The two brothers of the Zhang family got a bunch of broken materials and couldn't sell them, so they begged their sister to find the imperial court to buy them, and as a result, they built a family temple.

Anyway, Jin Yu is ruined outside, and the Zhang brothers can still poke their ugly things to their sister?

Dai Yi continued: "At that time, the queen was satisfied, and the materials of Shouning Hou and Jian Changbo were also sold, but His Majesty spent silver on his side......"

"It's okay, the flowers still have to be spent, otherwise the Gongjia Temple of Changguo will still have to break the cost."

Zhu Youzhu can think about it.

Now his wife suspects that he copied hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Li Guang and did not share it with the Zhang family.

If Zhu Youzhu followed Zhang Zhou's proposal, not only did he divide it at that time, but also solved the backlog of wood and stone on hand of the Zhang family brothers, Qingning Palace was still repaired well, and the Empress Dowager Zhou would be able to make a better deal, Zhu Youzhu and his wife would be reconciled again, and even Empress Zhang would be grateful for her kindness......

Zhu Youzhu thought about it and said with emotion: "Bingkuan is really resourceful, and he has come up with a clever plan for me to satisfy everyone." ”

Several eunuchs on the side were embarrassed in their hearts.

Yes, the living are satisfied, but the dead are not satisfied, if the ancestors of the Zhang family knew that the descendants of the Zhang family were so fooling them, it is estimated that the ghosts would not let go of the Zhang brothers, right?

"Then who should hand over the matter of repairing the Changguo Gongjia Temple?"

Zhu Youzhu looked around the scene.

It's everyone who hastened to avoid ......

This kind of foolish work, no one wants to do it, and the trouble is not known to the queen and Mrs. Changguo, the Jin family, and they think that who is filling their pockets to steal the good material of the Zhang family brothers.

Chen Kuan said: "Your Majesty, do you want to let Mr. Zhang go?" ”

Zhu Youzhu glared at Chen Kuan and said, "Do you want Bingkuan to be infamy?" ”

Chen Kuan hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

The heart said, Your Majesty, fortunately, you still know that this matter is detrimental to Yin Virtue, and you will not let the new Zhang Bingkuan do it.

"Whoever causes the trouble, who will clean up the mess himself!"

Zhu Youzhu said coldly, "Recently, I have also found that Heling and Yanling are becoming more and more disagreeable, entering the palace to bully the palace maids, beating and scolding the palace people at will, and now they even want to contract the work of repairing the palace with shoddy!?" Let Trillium go! ”

Several eunuchs listened and were beating drums in their hearts.

Xiao Jingdao stepped forward and asked, "Then Your Majesty, let the slave and maid inform Uncle Jianchang?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Don't worry, this matter still needs to be considered, how much silver should be allocated?" ”

Xiao Jing said: "Mr. Zhang also said that the Zhou family gave 65,000 taels, and the Zhang family should also be treated equally. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu smiled knowingly, "It's still Bingkuan who understands me, and also understands the thoughts of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, so we will treat each other equally and not be partial." It seems that if I have anything to do in the future, I still need to ask him more. ”

Xiao Jing thought to himself, Your Majesty, compared to Zhang Bingkuan's ruthlessness, you are not far behind, if you want to make a bad move like Zhang Bingkuan, then the court must be chaotic.

This kid became an official in the future, and it is estimated that he is not good at stubble.

"By the way, there is one more thing, but it is not appropriate for you to say about this matter, and it is not appropriate for me to go!"

Several eunuchs couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts.

Zhu Youzhu said: "You have to go with Bingkuan!" is to let the prince understand what is going on, and know what to say and what not to say! This is also to teach others to be sophisticated. Do you understand? ”

Xiao Jing and the others are not stupid.

After a little pondering, my heart will be clear.

Now no one in the know will leak it to the queen and Mrs. Jin, but I am afraid that Zhu Houzhao, who is also an insider, will leak the big mouth.

If the eunuch was sent to inform him, it would be strange if Zhu Houzhao could listen to it...... But if Zhu Youzhu goes in person, it may work, but if the queen knows that her husband is partnering with her son to hide from her, maybe a third method will be added next time she cries and makes trouble.

And this matter has to be the "initiator" Zhang Zhou himself.

If something happens like this, Zhu Youzhu can stay out of the matter and will not be complained by his wife.
