Faced with his wife's aggressiveness, Zhu Youtang could only reluctantly explain, "Queen, the matter is settled. If you change it at will, how can I explain it to the imperial grandmother?"
At the critical moment, the only option is to use the old My wife came out as a shield.
"If Your Majesty can't save face, let me tell you, the Empress Dowager must be unreasonable." Empress Zhang was very insistent.
She absolutely cannot bear the loss of her two younger brothers, both for money and face.
Zhu Youtang wanted to say, you are the one who is being unreasonable.
He quickly took out a rational posture of presenting facts and reasoning, and said seriously, "Queen, actually I went out today. On a trip, I saw the wood and stones piled up by He Ling and Trillium in the Di shop. They were all inferior goods. I even bought some back. If you don’t believe it, I’ll have someone bring some to you.”
< p>"Your Majesty, someone is now accusing the Zhou family of bad materials. In order to let the concubine give up, you said that He Ling and Yan Ling were inferior. Isn't this confusing the truth?"Zhang The queen was furious.
Once the little woman’s stubbornness breaks out, even nine cows can’t pull her back.
Zhu Youtang obviously made the most common mistake in quarrels between men and women, trying to use reason to suppress women's sensibility.
At this time, men are reasonable. If you talk more, you will be wrong. If you don't talk, it will be wrong.
“Besides, what’s wrong with your majesty’s property worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver being copied from Li Guang’s house and some of it being given to my concubine’s brother? Does your majesty only have eyes for the imperial government and no concubine?” I shouldn’t have married into the palace.”
Queen Zhang used another trick.
Crying
After crying and making trouble, Zhu Youtang couldn't stand it before hanging himself.
"Queen, don't be sad. I'll think about it again and see if I can find a compromise." Zhu Youtang hurriedly comforted his wife.
Zhu Youtang was also very depressed at this time.
I was thinking, if anyone cares about the money in my wallet, I will slap them with a slap in the face. Even the senior minister will not give him face.
But if my queen and I want to be husband and wife, there should be no division between each other
My little private money will not be saved
Empress Zhang said, "I want your Majesty to go and tell the Empress Dowager that if you don't go, I will leave the supply matters to Heling and Yanling. I will go in person."
"Farewell"
Zhu Youtang was really scared, and finally said helplessly, "Let me think about it. I will go back and review the memorial first, and I will tell you the news later."
Zhu Youtang returned to Qianqing Palace. .
Sitting there, he had no intention of doing anything. He said that reviewing the memorial was just an excuse to deal with Queen Zhang. He hesitated again and again, as if he wanted to muster the courage to go to the Queen Mother Zhou to talk to him.
The Imperial Grandmother loves me the most. At this time, I should be concerned about the harmonious relationship between my husband and my wife.
"Your Majesty" Xiao Jing appeared in front of Zhu Youtang, "The Empress Dowager, please come over. ”
Zhu Youtang’s heart thumped at first, thinking that the old lady must not have screamed.It's a good thing, but after thinking about it again, maybe the imperial grandmother was reasonable and asked me to go over and discuss the matter again
Just when Zhu Youtang was excitedly preparing to see the Queen Mother Zhou.
Xiao Jing was very ignorant and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know where to pile up the batch of wood purchased from Zhang's warehouse."
These words are like a pot. Cold water was poured on Zhu Youtang's head.
The Zhang brothers actually dared to ask for one hundred and three thousand taels of scrap materials. When Zhu Youtang thought of this, he had the urge to hit him.
And he clearly said in front of his son that if the materials of the Zhou family were the same as those of the Zhang family, he would rather use neither. Is he now going to destroy his own principles and use broken materials just to satisfy his wife? Use the materials to build the Qingning Palace
If the emperor lets it go, can he swallow it back?
"Show the Renshou Palace"
Zhu Youtang's face suddenly turned gloomy. It was raining heavily, and Xiao Jing didn't get a reply to his request for instructions, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Inside Renshou Palace.
The Empress Dowager Zhou did not hesitate, and immediately explained her intention: "The Ai family heard that there were rumors that officials were impeaching the two younger brothers of the Ai family for purchasing stones and wood, saying that the quality was poor and that they had deceived the emperor and the court. After hearing this, the Ai family was furious. If they were such people, the Ai family would be the first to not spare them."
"The imperial grandmother is actually"
Zhu. Youtang was about to explain, but Queen Mother Zhou reached out to interrupt him.
The Empress Dowager Zhou said, "The Ai family was afraid that His Majesty would abandon his filial piety because of his private life, so he went to the Taiji Factory to have a look. The materials were all good, and he was obviously a well-known official." If you don't believe it, you can deliberately confuse right and wrong out of thin air. You can send someone to investigate and see if it is really the case."
Zhu Youtang's face turned red.
He was too embarrassed to say that I had personally seen it. Different from what Yan Guan said, the Zhou family used good materials, while the Zhang family used inferior materials.
The Empress Dowager Zhou said again, "Emperor, if you send someone to verify that everything is correct, you shouldn't break the rules and buy the one with the lowest price. The same goes for the two younger brothers of the Ai family." They are determined to repair the Qingning Palace and have to spend so much money to purchase it at once. It is a lot of pressure for them. Jun Wuxi, you won’t regret it, Emperor?”
“Yes”
Zhu Youtang heard it. The purpose of the old lady's pressure on him was to get a positive answer from him. Despite the hidden worries of marital discord, he still gritted his teeth and said so.
No way.
This is the rule.
The emperor cannot be the first to disobey.
Also because the Zhang brothers are shameless, if the quality of the materials on both sides is similar, it doesn’t matter if Zhu Youtang chooses the more expensive one, but the difference is nearly 40,000 taels of silver, and the more expensive one is still inferior. , this made the emperor how to destroy the principles in his heart
"Okay, the Ai family believes in you. If you want to deal with court affairs, the Ai family will not bother you too much."
" The grandson resigned."
Zhu Youtang returned to Qian.The Qing Palace is no longer sulking there, but sighing.
Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and Chen Kuan stood nearby, not daring to breathe.
This is the emperor's family affairs, who dares to take care of it
"Hey, are there any court affairs that should be settled? They are all settled."
Zhu Youtang seemed to be thinking the same. Feeling that he had delayed state affairs for the things around him, he couldn't help but look up at the three eunuchs.
Dai Yi then said, "Your Majesty, there is a memorial saying that Wang Junmen, the governor of the military affairs of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yansui, and Ningxia, has set off from Yansui and returned to the capital. There is also a memorial. , thank the emperor for the medicine."
"Yes."
Zhu Youtang nodded.
Wang Yue wants to return to the capital. This has been decided a long time ago, so there is no big problem.
"There have been discussions in the court early in the morning, saying that it is time to decide on a candidate to succeed Wang Junmen. The cabinet will request an order to be discussed at court tomorrow morning." Dai Yi added.
"Okay, is there anything else?"
Zhu Youtang looked absent-minded. < /p>
It seems that in Zhu Youtang's mind, Zhang Mao is just a troublemaker, and he will cause trouble for him whenever he has nothing to do.
Dai Yi reminded, "Your Majesty, you forgot your previous instruction to ask Mr. Zhang Zhouzhang to go to his house to see a doctor for his son."
"Oh. This is the case. , Bingkuan didn’t 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. As a result, Eunuch Xiao went. After telling him, the Zhang family took Mr. Zhang’s prescription for a period of time. Now his condition has improved greatly and he can walk.”
“Really?”
Zhu Youtang was not in a good mood at first, but when he heard this, he immediately became energetic.
The long-lost smile finally appeared on his face, and there was a sense of joy that "I really didn't believe him wrong."
Dai Yi presented the thank you form to Zhu Youtang and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look at it."
A thank you form full of flattery, Zhu Youtang was stunned to say a single word I finished reading Buluo and felt very good after reading it.
"Well. It seems that Bingkuan is indeed a capable person. I feel more relieved if I let him treat my illness."
Zhu Youtang originally thought that Zhang Zhou would treat me. Regarding the fertility problem, he just had a try attitude, and the probability of success was at most half and half. Seeing this, 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. Even the miracle doctors are helpless."
Dai Yida said, "What's so good about this? Strangely, even acne can be cured, and soft foot disease is nothing."
Zhu Youtang put down the thank you note, and suddenly thought of something, "I was so happy, but something suddenly happened. I want to understand that the Queen asked me to buy all the wood and stone from Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo. I shouldn't go against the Queen's wishes and just find a place.Let’s repair it, find someone with a clear eye, and buy Zhangjia wood and stone materials.”
Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and Chen Kuan all looked confused.
What kind of weakness does the emperor have? That’s not right
Knowing that the Zhang brothers have junk materials, they still want to buy them back
The Ministry of Revenue will not take advantage of them if they ask the Ministry of Finance to reimburse them. , then the royal family can only pay for it themselves. Is the emperor having trouble with his own pocket?
But they didn’t 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 love with his wife. Villain, and now his wife is still angry with him. If he just spends tens of thousands of taels to buy harmony between husband and wife, it is nothing in Zhu Youtang's eyes.
It's just a waste of money. ” Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" Dai Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, this" Zhu Youtang was speechless.
This is simply a problem of the century.
What kind of imperial project can be built with that scrap of material? How can it fool people like this?
Zhu Youtang thought for a long time and felt that he couldn't answer. He shook his head and said, "Xiao Jing, go ask Bingkuan." . "
"Your Majesty"
Xiao Jing didn't understand for a moment.
Shouldn't you ask the minister first about this kind of thing?
Ask Zhang Zhou directly what he said
"Yes, first go to the cabinet department and ask the three cabinet elders what their opinions are. After comprehensively adopting their opinions, then ask Bingkuan, if If it doesn't work, just buy them back and pile them up. Or if they have better insights, they can come back and tell me, and I will consider them comprehensively. ”
Zhu Youtang thought about it for a long time.
Since I don’t know what to repair, I just bought those scrap materials and left them alone. Finally, I don’t violate my personal promise< /p>
"Yes"
Xiao Jing couldn't let this happen.
He could only go to the cabinet and Zhang Zhou for advice. .
Xiao Jing went to the cabinet to check in, after all, the road was very close.
After arriving, he briefly greeted the three cabinet ministers.
Three. After hearing what Xiao Jing said, the famous cabinet minister Liu Jian came out to express his doubts: "It is already the early winter season. Except for the Qingning Palace, which needs to be repaired at this time, other projects have basically stopped. Why does Your Majesty want to increase the construction projects in such a hurry?" Let me give you my opinion and see where to fix it."
Xiao Jing didn't hide it anymore and said bluntly, "Actually, His Majesty just doesn't want the materials of the two uncles of the Zhang family to rot in his hands. "
It's a good thing that the Zhang brothers are not mentioned here. After mentioning it, Liu Jian didn't even want to give him any face, but he said patiently, "There is no errand to repair the palace now. "
"Ah" Xiao Jing didn't expect Liu Jian's answer to be so blunt.
Xie Qian next to him smiled and said, "How is the texture of this batch of materials?"
Of course Xiao Jing can't say that they are all a bunch of junk. He smiled bitterly and didn't answer.
He didn't answer, but the three people in front of him were all discerning people, and he suddenly felt like There are a lot of them.
The price is expensive and the quality may not be good. The emperor actually arranged a mission to buy this batch of materials.
What is the emperor doing?
p>Could it be that the imperial palace has too much money to spend and has to find a way to spend it?
The emperor will feel uncomfortable if he doesn’t spend money
Li Dongyang also said: Before winter, it is difficult to restart the project. If you really want to purchase it, you may wish to discuss it with the superiors to see if there are any defects, or they can be filled in batches. ”
Li Dongyang still fully considered the relationship between the cabinet ministers and the emperor, and could not embarrass the emperor casually.
If the quality of this material is not good, it must not be used in one place, otherwise it will cause trouble. No one can afford it, and the emperor will eventually pursue the person who came up with the idea. Only by using it in different places can the impact of this matter be reduced as much as possible.
