Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 301, Building Qianqing Palace

"Ah~"

In the study room of Emperor Hongzhi's temporary office in Kunning Palace, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh softly.

Li Guang killed himself. This was something that Emperor Hongzhi never thought of. Li Guang pinned on Emperor Hongzhi's hope of a long and healthy life. This is why Hongzhi emperor desperately wanted to keep him.

It's not that he doesn't know some things Li Guang did, but what's the matter, as long as he can make Emperor Hongzhi's health better and give him a longer lifespan, that's enough.

Then who would have thought that what the Empress Dowager Zhou said would scare Li Guang to death and make him commit suicide by drinking poison. After receiving the news, Emperor Hongzhi looked listless, as if he had lost hope.

"Your Majesty~ I have already checked it out."

At this time, Xiao Jing walked in and looked at Emperor Hongzhi's appearance, he couldn't bear it, but he still had to tell the truth about his loss.

"Go ahead."

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes and said softly.

Hearing that Li Guang committed suicide and died, the government and the public were overjoyed. A series of memorials fell into the hands of Emperor Hongzhi like snowflakes. They all criticized Li Guang, saying that Li Guang was corrupt and perverted the law, ran amok, plundered people's fields, and promoted private houses, etc. etc. In short, list all kinds of crimes and ask Emperor Hongzhi to thoroughly investigate and deal with Li Guang.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Guang is already dead. Even if something is found out, it is impossible to say that Li Guang will die a second time.

When it comes to politics, all are smart people, and they are also good at making a fuss. Although Li Guang is dead, he can still use Li Guang's affairs to attack his political opponents, or to achieve some other goals.

If Li Guang was still alive, Emperor Hongzhi would naturally keep him alive, but after Li Guang died, Emperor Hongzhi also followed suit and asked Xiao Jing to check Li Guang's background, so as to give the world an explanation.

Of course, Emperor Hongzhi still didn't give up, he felt that there might be a precious and strange book hidden in Li Guang's house, which might help him cultivate his longevity, so he sent Xiao Jing to search Li Guang's house.

"Your Majesty, I found a notebook of corruption and bribery in Li Guang's home, which recorded that civil and military officials sent Li Guang thousands of shi of yellow rice and white rice."

Xiao Jing took out a notebook from his pocket and handed it over respectfully.

"Yellow rice, white rice?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard it, he was at a loss. Is this a bribe to send rice?

"Your Majesty, yellow rice is worth gold, and white rice is worth silver~"

Xiao Jing helplessly explained softly.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately opened his eyes, picked up the notepad and read it carefully. The notepad clearly stated the time and amount of officials who bribed Li Guang. Among the officials who paid bribes were princes. Uncle, chief soldier, governor, minister, assistant minister, capital censor and other civil and military ministers, Beijing officials and local officials.

"Bang~"

After Emperor Hongzhi finished reading, he couldn't help but slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily, "Check it out for me, check it out carefully, even the prince, minister, general soldier, and governor are all offering bribes to Li Guang."

Emperor Hongzhi was really, really disappointed, not only by those officials who bribed Li Guang, but also by the fact that Li Guang's so-called immortality technique was all a lie.

Emperor Hongzhi spent a lot of silver with Li Guang. Because of Liu Jin's appearance, his pockets were bulging. Pray by yourself, make alchemy, etc.

As a result, all the money went into Li Guang's mouth, and he was fed to his full, Xiao Jing found out after a search, the secret room in Li Guang's house was full of money from the inner money allocated by Emperor Hongzhi.

The last hope of immortality in his heart was completely shattered, and the whole person felt the deception of the person he trusted.

He trusted Li Guang, and gave him a lot of money that he lived frugally, and asked him to pray for him and make alchemy for him, but all of them were fed to dogs.

He trusted the civil and military ministers in the court, and he claimed that the court was full of justice, and there were no virtuous people in the wilderness. However, the theft of the official warehouse, coupled with the list of bribes that Li Guang found out here, made him feel that he was deceived again.

He is a good person, a kind-hearted person, but now he is really angry. He was very angry when his hope of immortality was shattered, and now this kind of thing happened again.

"Yes~"

When Xiao Jing heard it, he was overjoyed and nodded quickly.

Investigating cases is his favorite thing, because investigating cases can reflect his value and the value of Jinyi Weidong Factory. If it is like before, he is just a waiter, but he serves the emperor. Beyond that, nothing at all.

Although the government and the public are respectful to him, there is nothing else. This Li Guang just helped Emperor Hongzhi pray for alchemy and had so many ministers of civil and military gifts. It's not as good as this Li Guangdong.

So, does he understand a truth, or let Emperor Hongzhi know his value, know the value of the factory guards, and be willing to reuse himself and the factory guards, so that his life will be easier, and these factory guards under him can also follow him It tastes good and drinks spicy.

"Father~"

At this time, Zhu Houzhao walked in excitedly.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Hongzhi looked much better, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You don't even look like you're walking. If you're like this, how can I rest assured that I will hand over this ancestral inheritance to you?"

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said that his health was getting worse and worse, and his whole person was getting older and older, but the prince Zhu Houzhao was still a child and had not grown up, which made him worried again. Once he left, Zhu Houzhao would be able to control Daming's life. Country?
Can Daming be governed?

"I don't want to be an emperor, my father has no bounds. It's good to be a prince, eat and drink, and don't have to worry about those troublesome things."

Zhu Houzhao said very heartlessly, but his words also caused a surge of enthusiasm in Emperor Hongzhi's heart. After all, his own son treated him well and hoped that he would live forever.

"Everyone is born, old, sick, and dies, and so is my father. Sooner or later, I will leave you. As for you, sooner or later, I will take over the inheritance of my ancestors and stir up the great Ming Dynasty."

Compared with Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Hongzhi treated each other more like father and son. When he was a child, because of the concubine Wan Gui, Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty rarely, very rarely had such father-son affection for Emperor Hongzhi, so when he became emperor, he treated Zhu Houzhao with respect This is also an important reason why Zhu Houzhao is very willful.

Emperor Hongzhi often couldn't bear to discipline him, and spoiled him too much.

"Father, you feel weird today, and you keep saying strange things."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Emperor Hongzhi carefully, thought for a while and said.

"Haha, when people are old, they always have a lot of feelings."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, and then saw that Zhu Houzhao was not wearing a prince's suit, but very ordinary clothes, and immediately turned his face down and said, "Did you run out of the palace again?"

"I just left the palace to find Liu Jin."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately smiled awkwardly and said that he came so quickly that he forgot to change his clothes.

"Looking for Liu Jin?"

"Are you going to discuss some profitable business again?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded. He knew Liu Jin. Zhu Houzhao learned a lot from Liu Jin and grew up a lot, so he did not object to Zhu Houzhao looking for Liu Jin. If the red is close to the ink, the black is black. It is better to follow Liu Jin than to fight crickets with the eunuchs around Zhu Houzhao.

As for forcing Zhu Houzhao to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, the way of governing the country and so on, forget it. Emperor Hongzhi is too clear. As long as it is not related to being an emperor, Zhu Houzhao learns super fast. Sanskrit and Arabic.

"No, no~"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao shook his head again and again, and then said, "Father, your Qianqing Palace was burned down. Liu Jin and I will discuss this and rebuild a Qianqing Palace for you."

"Build Qianqing Palace?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, father, we are discussing to build you a brand new Qianqing Palace. Of course, it is different from the previous Qianqing Palace. We are going to use cement and green bricks to build you a Qianqing Palace."

Zhu Houzhao nodded solemnly and said.

"Cement, blue bricks?"

Emperor Hongzhi wondered again, the houses in the Forbidden City were all made of wood, and Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin actually thought of using cement blue bricks to build the Qianqing Palace for Emperor Hongzhi.

"Isn't the house in the palace leaking water all the time? This time, it's thanks to your father that you are not in the Qing Palace. Houses made of wood are prone to leaking water, which is very unsafe. Houses made of cement and blue bricks are not afraid of water leaking. "

"Besides, the previous Qianqing Palace was too dark and too cold in winter, which seriously affected your body, Father. I have long wanted to demolish it and build a better palace for you."

Zhu Houzhao said it as a matter of course, and then said to Liu Jin who was waiting at the side: "Bring the blueprint."

When Liu Jin heard this, he quickly handed over a stack of blueprints in his hand respectfully. Zhu Houzhao opened the blueprints, and the top one was a plan, outlining a majestic, tall and magnificent palace with black lines, but this The layout and style of the palace is completely different from that of the traditional Qianqing Palace.

"Even the drawings?"

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the drawings that Zhu Houzhao had spread out, and was immediately deeply attracted.

"Father, we are going to build this brand new Qianqing Palace with reinforced concrete, with porcelain panels on the outside, panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass windows, glass chandeliers, heating, swimming pool, bathtub..."

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was interested, Zhu Houzhao immediately began to repeat what Liu Jin had said.

　Build a demonstration building, and then you can engage in real estate later~
