The emperor's feet were itchy, and he really wanted to kick King Ning.
Hold back, hold back.
The emperor said angrily: "Yuhua Lane is not the property of the palace, it is your daughter-in-law's private property."
King Ning said straightforwardly: "My daughter-in-law's private property will be left to my grandchildren in the future, so it is naturally the property of the palace."
shameless.
The emperor's hands were itchy, and he really wanted to whip King Ning. Seeing King Ning's face, the Son of Heaven thought of one word, I deserve a beating.
"Your daughter-in-law has made such a big commotion outside. As the head of the family, you have no knowledge of it beforehand. You are quite proud."
Ning Wang laughed happily, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, why should I interfere so much. Just like you, father, as the head of the family, you also don't know which woman your son got lucky with last night."
"Asshole!"
The emperor was furious, picked up the whip and whipped it towards King Ning.
King Ning is not Li Dalang, he will not stand still and wait to be drawn.
King Ning ran around the hall, "Old man, you beat someone if you say you can't win, you are playing a rascal."
The Son of Heaven chased King Ning, "I'm going to play a rogue today. Stop King Ning and don't allow him to run away."
The generals of the Han Dynasty rushed into the hall to help the emperor capture King Ning.
King Ning kicked with his left foot and punched with his right, but it was a pity that his fists were no match for death, and finally he was restrained by the big Han general.
The Son of Heaven waved his whip, and whipped it at King Ning's body.
King Ning yelled, "It hurts my son to death, it hurts me to death. Old man, if you don't kill your son, you can't live anymore, just die."
Shouting and screaming, King Ning rolled on the ground.
Gu Jiu was dumbfounded, in disbelief.
Concubine Xiao Shu drank her tea, completely indifferent. This scene has long been familiar, and everything is expected.
Princess Huyang frowned, her hands trembled every time the whip was whipped.
How painful!
Brother Wang suffered.
Gu Jiu had already quietly retreated to a corner, minimizing her presence, hoping that the emperor would not find her.
The emperor was tired, so he threw down his whip and kicked King Ning again, "You bastard, get up!"
Ning Wanglai refused to get up on the ground, "Father, are you confused? Beating your own son for a Li family, the ancient stupid kings are not as stupid as you."
Concubine Xiao Shu held her breath in her throat, almost suffocating her to death.
What kind of son did she give birth to? How dare she call the emperor stupid? It's terrible.
She clutched her heart, feeling overwhelmed. No one can worry about sons and daughters.
Especially seeing that Huyang Junzhu was still nodding, echoing what King Ning said, and almost jumping out to support it openly, Concubine Xiao Shu was even more headache.
Gu Jiu's heart trembled, King Ning really dared to say it!
Will the emperor kill King Ning
After beheading King Ning, will the people in the palace be beheaded by the way
Meeting such an outspoken father, Gu Jiu felt for the first time that her heart was not strong enough.
She really doesn't want to die, she also wants to live a long life.
Unexpectedly, the emperor did not fly into a rage.
The Son of Heaven snorted twice, "If I were really a fool, I would have killed you eight hundred years ago, and would have left you to trouble me today? Get out of here."
King Ning jumped up instantly, his movements were quick, he didn't look like he was being beaten.
When King Ning stood still, he started acting again, rubbing the place where he was beaten, and made a look of pain, "Father, the Li family doesn't do anything about personnel, and it would be too cheap for the Li family to just clean up a Li Dalang. Said, directly ransacked the house and exiled."
"Shut up!"
The Son of Heaven scolded King Ning angrily, "How to deal with the Li family is up to me to decide, it's not your turn to talk nonsense."
King Ning was not afraid at all, and seized the opportunity to criticize the Li family.
From how Mr. Li is not a thing, discuss how Li Dalang is not a thing, and then demonstrate how Li's servants are not a thing.
It's almost like saying that Concubine Li De is not a thing.
Gu Jiu thought that the Son of Heaven would stop King Ning from continuing, but unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven did not stop him, but listened with gusto.
As soon as she thought about it, she understood the truth.
As a superior, especially an emperor, he never wants to see the courtiers below in harmony.
The emperor didn't want to see the party and government, but he didn't want to see the ministers of civil and military affairs in love with each other, wearing the same pair of pants.
Between courtiers, there must be positions, factions, and struggles. This is what the emperor likes to see.
The emperor needs power checks and balances, and the premise of power checks and balances is that there must be struggles between the court and China.
It is true that the emperor loves Concubine Li De, and it is not false that he pampers the Li family.
But the emperor doesn't mind if someone comes forward to fight the Li family to the death.
As Prince Ning, if he lowered his figure, he would run to lick the Li family's stinky feet. Gu Jiu offended the Li family, King Ning only knew to calm down, not only would the emperor not be happy, but would be furious and enraged.
It's definitely not a fake way to whip King Ning a few times and it's over. The emperor will kill King Ning and kill him.
For a dignified prince to lick the stinky feet of his relatives, first of all, he would lose the face of the royal family.
Such soft bones are not worthy of being a prince.
Secondly, if King Ning praises the Li family's stinky feet, it means that King Ning and the Li family have begun to unite. This is an extremely dangerous signal, and the Son of Heaven will never allow this to happen.
As I said earlier, what the emperor wants is fighting, not harmony.
The Li family is the Li family, and King Ning is King Ning. In the eyes of the emperor, these two sides have always been two parallel lines.
If these two lines are entangled, they can only be tit-for-tat, and the two companies are absolutely not allowed to join forces to fight dog dogs.
The emperor is suspicious of an adult prince, so why not guard against his relatives.
Only when the prince and his relatives are fighting each other can the emperor feel safe.
In the final analysis, the emperor is afraid, afraid that the people below will unite to deceive him and make him empty.
Which prince dares to form an alliance with the Li family, as long as he is not found out. Once discovered, the emperor will definitely cut off the alliance between the two parties by means of thunder.
Obviously, King Ning had guessed the emperor's mind early on, so he attacked the Li family in front of the emperor without any scruples.
Because King Ning knew that no matter how much he attacked, the emperor would not really do anything to him.
Conversely, the Son of Heaven would not really treat the Li family just because King Ning criticized the Li family.
Just like Marquis Lu, inside and outside the court, throughout the year, how many baskets can be filled with the impeachment of Marquis Lu.
But the emperor has always stayed in China and never sent him, and he has always trusted Lu Hou.
But while the emperor trusted Luhou, he did not prevent courtiers from impeaching Luhou.
This is actually a check and balance of power.
The emperor is reminding Luhou in this way to be loyal to his duties. As long as you are loyal, I will trust you and keep you. No matter how the courtiers slander you, I will never seize your military power and recall you to the capital.
Conversely, if you refuse to serve faithfully, then all impeachment memorials will become reminders.
The emperor allowed King Ning to criticize the Li family, and nodded from time to time, thinking that what King Ning said made sense.
But just being reasonable has a fart.
The emperor will not touch the Li family unless the Li family rebels.
King Ning is also aware of this point, he is nothing more than loosening the soil and prying the corner of the wall, maybe one day what he said today will come in handy. Everything is planning for the future.
In the end, King Ning concluded: "According to my opinion, Huyang beat Li Dalang lightly. A few slaps are not enough, at least he will be paralyzed."
Hu Yang made fun of it, and said with an aggrieved face: "I'm not strong enough to beat him to the point of paralysis."
Concubine Xiao Shu glared at Huyang, "There are you everywhere, so you can't shut up."
Huyang felt wronged.
In the end, the emperor was also dissatisfied with her, Huyang didn't dare to be wronged, and could only accept his fate.
The emperor said angrily: "It is reasonable for Huyang to rush to the Yamen to beat up the court officials. Huyang, take out the two thousand taels that Gu Jiu gave you."
Hu Yang immediately became nervous, clutching his purse tightly, "What is Father going to do?"
The emperor snorted, "Your two thousand taels will be confiscated, and I will use the money to make a braised lion's head in the imperial dining room tomorrow. I will definitely eat it very well."
Hu Yang was wronged, "This is my money. The emperor is rich in the world, and he robbed me of my money. I will die."
The emperor put on a straight face, "Are you short of this money? Didn't you say that you can make money by doing business with Gu Jiu, if that's the case, a mere two thousand taels can kill you."
Huyang cried, tears rolled down.
King Ning snorted at her, "Hurry up and take out the money. You are fine today, and it is all up to your father to take care of you. Shouldn't you be filial to your father?"
Hu Yang helplessly took out the banknotes that were not warm yet.
She looked around for Gu Jiu, and finally found Gu Jiu in the corner.
She looked at Gu Jiu ferociously, now that the matter is settled but the money is gone, what is the matter
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, and secretly made a gesture to tell Princess Huyang not to be sad. No, it's two thousand taels of silver, I'll give it to you.
Gu Jiu has a lot of money now, if a mere two thousand taels can buy the emperor to calm down, this deal is a bargain.
"Gu Jiu, what are you making gestures with Hu Yang? Tell me about it?"
Gu Jiu: MMP, she hid so tightly and still didn't escape.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the daughter-in-law is trying to persuade Aunt Huyang to quickly take out the money to honor His Majesty."
"Oh? Didn't you promise Huyang to compensate her afterwards?" The emperor stared at Gu Jiu with a half-smile.
Gu Jiu lowered her head, embarrassed.
"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and nothing can escape His Majesty's eyes."
Chen Dachang took two thousand taels from the owner of Huyang County and placed it in front of the emperor.
The Son of Heaven chuckled, "Gu Jiu, you're not generous enough. It's only two thousand taels if you let the majestic princess run errands for you."
Gu Jiu's heart trembled, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Your Majesty misunderstood, Aunt Huyang is definitely not running errands for granddaughter-in-law. Aunt Huyang is working hard for our common cause, she is protecting The interests of all of us are very great.”
The head of Huyang County nodded frequently, that's it. She is a majestic princess, how could she run errands for others. She is protecting her own interests. Both the emperor father and the concubine mother don't understand, hmph, neither of you understand.
Concubine Xiao Shu's face was filled with confusion, what kind of ecstasy did Gu Jiu give Hu Yang? ah
It's obviously running errands, but can changing the essence of running errands be changed
absurd!
Even more stupid is Hu Yang, who is still obsessed with his obsession. Still drinking Gu Jiu's ecstasy soup.
The emperor suppressed a smile.
Seeing Huyang limping after being fooled, he felt very happy.
King Ning was serious, pretending that he didn't hear anything, and kept his ears shut.
It is a good thing for Gu Jiu to be able to live in Huyang in a foolish way.
Next time Hu Yang goes to the palace to ask for money, just let Gu Jiu deal with it.
Anyway, Gu Jiu is the eldest daughter-in-law, so this kind of matter should be handled by her.
The Son of Heaven kept a straight face on purpose, and scolded Gu Jiu, "It's really embarrassing to talk so cleverly."
Gu Jiu looked weak: MMP, you are the emperor, everything you say is right.
The emperor snorted, "What happened to that Yuhua Lane? Why did it need to be remodeled?"
Gu Jiu said: "Yuhua Lane is flooded, smelly, and the living environment is poor. No merchants are willing to rent. Therefore, even if Yuhua Lane occupies a good land environment and is close to the inner city river, it still cannot be sold at a high price. Instead, it has become a Tibetan property. A place of filth.
My daughter-in-law's transformation of Yuhua Lane is to change the shortcomings of Yuhua Lane, such as waterlogging, stench, and filth, and give full play to its original advantages, so as to build Yuhua Lane into a commercial treasure that is rich in commercial value and attracts people's flocks. "
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "According to your plan, it will cost a lot!"
"A lot of money was spent, and a lot of painstaking effort was put into it. So once she knew that someone secretly set fire to destroy everyone's hope, Aunt Huyang would stand up filled with righteous indignation, determined to fight the evil forces to the end."
Gu Jiu spoke nonsense in a serious manner.
The princess of Huyang was fooled into believing it.
He firmly believes that he is an envoy of justice, and beating Li Dalang is fighting against evil forces.
King Ning almost couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
The emperor's face was suffocated, wanting to laugh but not majestic. He could only grit his teeth and scolded angrily, "Sophistry!"
Gu Jiu lowered her head, her eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and everything you said was right.
The emperor snorted, "I want to come, you will not do business at a loss. If you invest so much money in it, how much can you earn in Yuhua Lane?"
When others ask how much you can earn, should you show off
Never!
Absolutely not!
Gu Jiu shook his head frequently, "If you don't have any money to make, at most you can earn some hard money, not enough to reward servants."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "You're not telling the truth."
Gu Jiu hurriedly said: "The project has just started, and now we only see the input, but not the output. It's too early to say how much money we can make."
"Well, I'll wait for your project to finish. I want to see how much money you can make by making such a big noise."
Gu Jiu was heartbroken, but she didn't say anything.
Being watched by the emperor is not a good thing.
"Why, aren't you happy?" the emperor asked.
Gu Jiu laughed and cried, "Daughter-in-law dare not."
"I see that you seem to be very good at repairing houses. The three halls in the palace have not been repaired all year round, just because the household department can't afford the money, and the money from the Shaofu can't be used at will. If it were you, what would you do?"
Gu Jiu looked confused, and asked stupidly: "Your Majesty, which three halls are the three halls?"
"Ridiculous!" The emperor was furious, pointing at King Ning, "Gu Jiu doesn't even know about the three halls, what are you doing as the head of the family?"
King Ning still looked like that, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, father, you are too lenient."
The emperor picked up the pen holder and threw it at King Ning's head.
King Ning jumped up decisively and hid. This
The emperor snorted twice, "Tell Gu Jiu, the three halls are those three halls."
Chen Dachang laughed and bowed slightly, "Mrs. Zhao, please remember that the three halls mentioned by Your Majesty refer to Fengxian Hall, Liangyi Hall, and Changsheng Hall, your majesty's bedroom."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and secretly complained, saying that he wanted to repair the three main halls, obviously he wanted to do a lot of construction work to repair the Hall of Eternal Life.
Fengxian Hall and Liangyi Hall are just incidental, the main function is to prove that the emperor is not a luxurious and lustful person. After all, the emperor was still thinking about his ancestors, so he knew to repair the place where his ancestors lay.
With the two face-saving projects of Fengxian Hall and Liangyi Hall, the courtiers will not be too crazy to oppose it, and it will look better in face.
It's a pity that the household department has no money, and the emperor doesn't want Tao's own small treasury to pay for the household department.
Ever since, the renovation of the three main halls has been postponed for many years.
As long as the emperor doesn't mention this matter, all the courtiers will pretend to be stupid and pretend not to know about it.
After listening to Chen Dachang's introduction, Gu Jiu let out an oh.
The emperor frowned, "Is this your attitude?"
Gu Jiu looked blank, "Please make it clear, Your Majesty."
The emperor was very dissatisfied, "If you were to repair the three halls, what would you do?"
Gu Jiu continued to be at a loss, pretending to be stupid, "What my granddaughter-in-law is going to do, I must ask the household department for money."
"Someone calculates that it will cost at least two million taels to repair the three halls. What do you think?"
Gu Jiu: "Oh!"
The emperor frowned again, dissatisfied, "Gu Jiu, don't be perfunctory to me. Otherwise, I will let you go around without food."
Gu Jiu looked bitter.
She had no choice but to pull herself together and said, "The granddaughter-in-law didn't see the specific situation, but since someone said it would cost two million taels, it must be about the same amount."
The emperor asked again: "If I entrust you with the task of repairing the three halls, what will you do?"
Everyone in the hall focused their eyes on Gu Jiu.
There is a big question mark in everyone's heart, why does the emperor look at Gu Jiu differently
