Let's talk about Prince Hui's Mansion.
Back then, Emperor Hongjing gave every prince a mansion, and the prince was no exception. However, this residence of the prince is not called a mansion, but a courtyard, which is used for recreation and recreation.
It is usually vacant, and the prince does not come here once a year. Later, as Zhao Zuo grew older, this place was used by him to do some affairs that were not suitable to be carried out on the table.
This time the prince was abolished, so naturally he had to move out of the palace, and this place became Prince Hui's mansion. But the problem is that the mansion was built according to the prince's regulations, and the prince's regulations are equivalent to the emperor, only inferior in the details. Now that the prince has become King Hui, since he is no longer the crown prince, according to the system, he has to wait a little longer.
That is to say, the Ministry of Industry needs to demolish the houses in Prince Hui's Mansion according to the regulations, and demolish all the things that are not suitable for regulation in Prince Hui's Mansion.
This is not in compliance with the regulations. If the list is counted, it will be too many, ranging from the gatehouse in front of the door to a piece of tile on the roof. For example, only green and gray glazed tiles can be used in the Prince's Mansion, not the yellow glazed tiles that can be seen everywhere in the palace. As for the roof, the palace can only use a hard hilltop, and absolutely cannot use the roof style of the palace. Even the ridge on the roof, the height of the floor tiles, and even a doornail on the gate are all very particular.
These are actually not difficult, and it is an easy job for the Ministry of Industry to repair and clean up officials. But the problem is that King Hui's identity is too sensitive. He was originally the crown prince or the prince, but now he is the prince. Being able to be deposed from the crown prince obviously has nothing to do with the big position. It was not long after the crown prince was deposed, and it is not obvious that the demolition of the house is to add trouble to others.
It’s fine if King Hui loses power. The key family still has a favored son, a queen’s mother and an emperor’s father. I have been procrastinating on doing this.
But this kind of thing is obviously not going to be delayed, and it has to be done sooner or later. If it is delayed for a long time, it may be handed over to others, and then the Ministry of Industry will not be a person inside or outside.
No, seeing that King Jin came to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry inevitably moved their ideas on King Jin. They are both kings and brothers, so they won't fall out.
That day when Chen Yuanwailang assigned the errand, he was prepared in his heart, thinking that His Royal Highness King Jin would probably be furious, but he didn't say anything.
For this reason, as the director of the Ministry of Cleaning Up Officials, Chen Yuanwailang has the feeling of surviving after a catastrophe.
King Jin took people to Prince Hui's mansion the next day.
Prince Hui's mansion probably didn't know that it was King Jin who came, and when they heard that someone from the Ministry of Industry had come, they closed the door tightly. It wasn't that the other party was being rude, but rather being annoyed, because this was already the fourth time people from the Ministry of Industry had come.
Zhou Wu smiled wryly at King Jin, and whispered: "We sent people here a few times before, and the first time we were invited in for a cup of tea, but the second time we were kicked out, saying that His Royal Highness Hui Wang was not in the mood. See me and wait. When you come for the last time, you will not be allowed to enter the door."
Naturally, the Ministry of Industry is not stupid. Since Prince Hui's Mansion has exceeded the limit, they have already sent someone to say hello. As for Prince Hui's mansion, it was not known whether King Hui was really in a bad mood, or if he was pretending to be in a bad mood, in short, he avoided seeing people from the Ministry of Industry.
And the servants of Prince Hui's Mansion adhered to the practice of 'a good master has a few evil slaves', and they were quite honest with the people from the Ministry of Industry.
In fact, this is an old routine. Some things are not shown by the master in order to be decent, so he uses the slave to speak for himself. It is obvious that Prince Hui's mansion did not listen to what the Ministry of Industry said.
Of course, the Ministry of Industry can ask for an edict, but the problem is that once the trouble is made public, it will offend King Hui. As an official in Beijing, who would like to offend others if he has nothing to do, and it is such a master who offends.
The reason behind this is that Jin Wang is naturally clear, and he also knows that the Ministry of Industry is using him as a scapegoat. But when he is in his position to seek other things, as long as he is still in the Ministry of Cleaning up officials for a day, this kind of nonsense will be inevitable.
Because King Jin had already seen a lot of things like this when he was looking through the records of the Bureau of Cleaning up Officials in the past few days, and they had not been done for a long time. The King of Jin knew why he was put in the Ministry of Cleaning Up Officials, probably it was the idea of that old fox Hong Qi.
Thinking of this, King Jin signaled the people from the Ministry of Industry to call the door again, and this time his name was reported.
No accident, King Jin and the people from the Ministry of Industry were invited in, and Qin Shun, the chief eunuch of Prince Hui's mansion, came forward to entertain them with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Jin to come here. The slaves couldn't meet him, so I asked His Royal Highness Jin Wang to make amends." The old eunuch smiled like a chrysanthemum, and pretended to slap himself in the face while talking. I'm afraid no one would be with him if he changed. Care about.
Even though he knew that this person did this intentionally, but it would not lower his status, but it would be unseemly for a master to argue with a slave. So the King of Jin didn't tell him much, and signaled the people from the Ministry of Industry to overstep the regulations in Prince Hui's Mansion, and the Ministry of Industry followed the regulations to demolish the documents that did not conform to the regulations and handed them to him.
Holding the piece of paper, Deshun sighed again and again: "Look, this slave can't read..."
King Jin's face was always cold, "Retell it to him."
A person came out from behind King Jin and recounted the content on the paper to Deshun. You don't need to read the content here, and the people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Cleaning can memorize it.
After listening, Deshun looked sincere and fearful, "This, this slave can't be the master. Your Highness King Jin, do you think this will work? His Highness King Hui is not here today. He went to the Duke of Wei's mansion, and waited for the master to come back. The slave told him, this matter has to be arranged by the master."
This is obviously playing helpless!
Everyone else in the Ministry of Industry was full of anger, but they didn't dare to express it in words. They really didn't expect that the dignified former prince would do such a thing when he found King Hui. It is reasonable and reasonable to dismantle it if it exceeds the limit. It is really disgusting to make such a gesture of pushing three and four.
King Jin thought more, knowing that this was his good brother deliberately tripping him up. If he went out from Prince Hui's mansion today and was laughed at for some reason, and in the future if something like this happens and everyone comes out like this, his face will be lost.
The King of Jin has always been a character that if you advance one foot, I will return you ten feet.
As the saying goes, a dog that doesn't bark bites people, and that's probably what happened to him. He doesn't bite easily, but if he bites, it is poisonous and ruthless, and he will never let go until he tears off a few pieces of flesh.
He waved his hand calmly: "It's okay, you can talk to him slowly about this."
Deshun was overjoyed and relieved, thinking that he would finally be able to deal with His Highness later. But before his brows could be filled with joy, he was shocked by what King Jin did afterward.
"First of all, you should mark the places where the regulations are to be demolished, so that you can know it well next time."
Before coming here this time, King Jin ordered the people below to bring everything they should bring. Hearing this, those who followed behind him were all taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu reprimanded: "Since Master Zhao has given his orders, don't do it."
These people hurriedly retreated out.
Not long after, I saw them leading a group of artisans in, running around like hungry wolves in a flock of sheep, and first took the front yard for surgery. Standing in this hall, you can see that several craftsmen have built several wooden ladders in partnership, and one craftsman is carrying a wooden bucket in his hand, and he climbed up to the roof with a few strokes.
The person below handed him a special wooden brush, which was about two meters long and looked like an oversized brush. The man dipped the wooden brush into the bucket until the wooden brush had absorbed enough red paint, then he held the wooden brush with both hands and began to write quickly on the tiles of the roof.
This person is probably quite mature, but in the blink of an eye, a big blood red character '打' appeared in everyone's eyes.
Deshun's old eyes were startled, and he pointed at the word: "This, this..."
King Jin glanced at him: "Don't panic, it will be demolished sooner or later, when the tiles are replaced, the characters will naturally disappear."
Taking advantage of King Jin's power, the people from the Ministry of Industry quickly painted the word "demolition" on the overreaching places in Prince Hui's mansion, just like disgusting toads stuck to the wall. Not to mention how dazzling.
The people in Prince Hui's Mansion wanted to block it but dare not. If they really blocked it, they would be fighting against the imperial power and the Holy Majesty. No one is stupid, how could they seek death by themselves.
After all this was done, King Jin didn't stay long, he told Deshun to come back in three days, told him to report to King Hui quickly, and left with his people.
After King Jin left, King Hui, who had been holding back in the room, jumped out.
His fat body is like a ball, bouncing up and down. The fat face turned into a pig liver color with anger, and it was faintly purple, it was obvious that he was extremely angry.
"Well, you are the fifth child, but Gu is not the prince just now, so you are losing Gu's face like this, Gu will never end with you!"
All the servants bowed their heads and listened to King Hui yelling curses there.
After receiving the news, Zhao Zuo hurried back, and before he entered the gate of the palace, he saw a big, blood-red word for 'demolition' painted on the upper floor outside the gate.
When he entered the mansion, all kinds of characters for "demolition" were drilled into his pupils like ghosts with teeth and claws. At the same time, there is also his father's abuse like a shrew in the market.
The fingers under his sleeves were trembling, and he walked into the hall with a few strides, while gesturing for people to clear the place, he shouted: "Father, what are you doing!"
"What? You didn't see..."
Seeing that the irrelevant people have all retreated, Zhao Zuo looked hard, and said angrily: "Do you know that you are a joke in the eyes of others now!"
King Hui was originally angry with King Jin, when he heard this, he stared at Zhao Zuo with poisonous eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a sarcasm: "You kid dare to despise your father, you are born of me. Without Lao Tzu, do you think you can stand here?! Is it because the name of the emperor's grandson has praised you so high, but you are still pointing at Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu, the prince, can't do it, you, the emperor's grandson I can't keep my position!"
King Hui's words pierced Zhao Zuo's heart like a poisonous sharp arrow.
He hated King Hui, but since he was born, he was the prince's son, and he was tied to the man in front of him. He hated the trouble this person had caused him, but he still had to rely on this person's name, who told him that he was born by him.
Sometimes Zhao Zuo even hates himself, why should he be born by this person.
But all of this disappeared with the abolition of the crown prince and his grandson's position. This is the magic barrier that he can't avoid all his life, unless he dies one day.
"Do you know that we are the ones who will be the ones who will be ashamed if this incident makes a big splash. Not only will we not get any favors, but it will also attract criticism. We are all like this, so why are we afraid of being ridiculed secretly? As long as the emperor's grandfather is still on our side, You don't need to care about the eyes of others. But you have ruined the good opportunity!"
This opportunity is still an opportunity for Zhao Zuo to keep it in his hands, ready to completely win back the city.
Why did he know that the king's mansion was beyond the control, and still let his servants repeatedly perfunctory the people of the Ministry of Industry, from the King of Jin to the Ministry of Industry, he kept this move, but he didn't expect the King of Jin to use such a means. Give him a chance to use it, and use such an unexpected method to end everything.
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Zuo had no intention of disobeying the regulations, but he set up a dragon gate formation by taking advantage of the depression in King Hui's heart and the ignorance of his subordinates. When Jin Wang came to the door, he would naturally let his servants speak kindly to each other, but he tried his best to delay. Wait two more times, when King Jin finally loses his composure, says something or does something, and then puts on an attitude of being bullied and humiliated, and asks the people from the Ministry of Industry to dismantle the overreaching things .
At that time, outsiders, even in the eyes of Emperor Hongjing and Empress Wei, would definitely feel that King Jin was aggressive, and King Hui and his family were wronged.
Human nature is always used to sympathize with the weak.
Just like the granddaughter of Wang Ge, his imperial grandfather had already given up his thoughts, but he thought about making up for him, and going to the official department...
Now he is no longer the grandson of the emperor who wanted whatever he wanted back then. He has to earn everything by himself, decency, power, and even everything. And when respectability and power collide, he will not hesitate to give up respectability, because after experiencing the ups and downs of this period, Zhao Zuo knows very well that face is worthless.
But now it's good, not only the face is gone, but also there is no chance for it to happen, because people are doing things according to the system.
Yes, Jin Wang's move gives people the feeling that he is doing things according to the system.
Others who knew about this would only say that King Jin was stupid, stupid, with an elm bumpy head, and a stunned head. How could he handle things like this, probably because he took the standard regulations as if they were all handled like this. They don't know that when the people from the Ministry of Industry come down to work, whenever they meet some decent people, they will save some face for each other, and they won't do things so nakedly.
After all, stay on the front line in life, so we can meet each other in the future.
King Hui was cursing endlessly, as if he wanted to vent all the depression accumulated in his heart. After hearing this, he stopped abruptly.
What the son said woke up the dreamer, but how could he admit his mistake.
"You think you're the only one who can do it, so I'm going to the palace now!"
Zhao Zuo looked coldly at the back of King Hui's disappearance, more than failure! Let it go, he wants to lose face, so let's do it.
No matter how embarrassing and embarrassing Prince Hui's mansion is, the grandpa will feel pity for him.
He was supposed to be flawless, noble, decent, and aloof, to be praised by the world. It's a pity that all of this was ruined by his good father and mother.
Human nature is so strange, when he feels that the threat is no longer a threat, the ridiculous compassion and compassion will prevail again, but this is also good, and he just happens to be able to use it.
