Chapter 429 Want to make a deal with the emperor? (Marquis of Salisbury's birthday
However, Zhu Youxiao was still preparing to see the Marquis of Wuqing Li Gao, so he ordered Wei Chao: "Let him come in."
"Yes, the emperor." Wei Chao agreed, turned around and went out to pick up the person.
Not long after, Wuqing Marquis Li Gao walked in from outside.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Li Gao quickly knelt down and saluted, saying respectfully: "I will meet your Majesty."
"No gifts." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, looking at Li Gao.
When Li Gao stood up from the ground, Zhu Youxiao continued, "What happened to the Marquis of Wuqing who entered the palace?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask Your Majesty for entering the palace today." Li Gao looked at Zhu Youxiao, his tone and attitude became even more respectful.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned and looked at Li Gao up and down.
You should know that the honors and relatives of the Ming Dynasty were actually a very special group. When the people in the family were in power, they were naturally arrogant and domineering, and they could be said to be overwhelming the ministers. Especially for the daughters of the Li family who sit in the position of the empress dowager and who have power, it is even more amazing.
However, even so, they still cannot escape their fate. After a good life has passed, the family may begin to decline. Relying on the family business accumulated in their early years, life is not good, and their way of survival will not make them jump up and down to cause trouble for their own family. It is just that living a safe and stable life is much more honest than a noble person.
Under such circumstances, these honorary relatives rarely come to the palace to ask the emperor for anything. This is not the time when their daughter has the final say. Doing such a thing is probably a self-taught sex.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Gao and said directly: "I wonder what's wrong with my dear?"
"I want to change a few houses and shops in Shoushan Academy." Li Gao said calmly and his attitude was very earnest.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned.
Unexpectedly, someone came here to change the house. Is this a squeezing man? Is there anyone who made a deal with the emperor?
But thinking about it, these people have not done such things. His father was trolling in the court and asking for things, but even Zhang Juzheng had no choice.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Gao and said calmly: "I don't know what I want to exchange for my dear."
"When you go back to your Majesty, there is a garden in the west of the city, which is the Tsinghua Garden. I want to take it out and exchange it for several shops and several houses. Please forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was a little disbelief.
Zhu Youxiao knew very well what level of Tsinghua University was.
That was built by Li Gao and Li Wei, who spent a lot of effort to build it, and the level was simply high to a certain extent. The decoration in Tsinghua Park was magnificent, and all kinds of layouts were also thoughtful. It can be said to be a small royal leisure garden.
Although the houses in the new district are valuable and even the prices of shops are very high, they are not worth mentioning compared to Tsinghua Park.
The values of both parties are not equal, so where can there be exchanges?
The Tsinghua Park covers an area of very large size, and it consumes a lot of energy and time during construction, and also consumes a lot of money and food.
Although Zhu Youxiao was always staring at Tsinghua University with greed, he didn't do anything. Why did Li Gao come to the door in a panic? Is there anything I don't know?
If something goes wrong, it is a monster. Zhu Youxiao is very clear about this truth.
Since Li Gao made such an abnormal move, there is naturally a reason behind it.
Zhu Youxiao asked calmly: "Why is this? I heard that the garden is pretty good."
"When you go back to your Majesty, I have a large population in my family and can no longer live in the city, so I want to sell the garden in the west of the city and then buy some real estate in the city. In this way, it can meet the needs of the family."
"It just takes time to sell the garden, and it takes some money to make a lot of money. I don't want to make a lot of trouble. Anyway, new cities are being built in the west of the city. I am willing to contribute the garden, ask for some shops and houses in the city, and ask Your Majesty for permission. I am very grateful."
This reason is to fool the fool. Zhu Youxiao is naturally not a fool, and Li Gao dared not regard the emperor as a fool.
Since Li Gao dared to say this, he was sure that the emperor could agree. This made Zhu Youxiao feel interesting. Where did Li Gao get such great confidence?
Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Gao and said, "If I think about this, my dear can go back first."
Anyway, I don’t know what the situation is like for the time being. Before I understand the truth of the matter, Zhu Youxiao really cannot make a decision. Send the person away first and ask about the situation.
Li Gao hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will leave."
After saying this, Li Gao bowed and retreated.
After Li Gao left, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "If someone let me release the news, I would say that the Marquis of Wuqing was noble and honest. He knew that the court wanted to promote culture and education and build a royal academy in the west of the city. He was willing to donate his own garden to the court to build academy."
After hearing this, Chen Hong hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, the emperor. I will go now."
The news in the palace usually passes a few times, from eunuchs to palace maids to guards, one by one, one by one. Sometimes the news is very accurate, and sometimes there will be deviations, but people outside will still pay great attention. After all, every move in the palace will affect the world.
Taking advantage of this, this is not the first time Zhu Youxiao has spread a message. As for the authenticity of the message, it depends on his needs.
Obviously, what Zhu Youxiao released this time was fake news. No matter what Li Gao was going to do, bring him the hat first.
A person who likes money suddenly acted like this, which really made Zhu Youxiao unacceptable.
If Li Gao said directly that he would donate it, it would be another result. But what Li Gao said was to change it, so there must be a problem here.
After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Chao and ordered directly: "Go to Shuntian Mansion and find Chen Qiyu for me."
"Yes, the emperor." Wei Chao agreed, turned around and ran outside.
No matter what happened or the result was, Chen Qiyu must have known it very clearly. After all, he is the prefect of Shuntian, and he should also be very clear about the investigation this time. It is definitely correct to ask Chen Qiyu.
After receiving the emperor's summons, Chen Qiyu also came to the palace.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Chen Qiyu quickly saluted and said respectfully: "My minister Chen Qiyu, please see Your Majesty."
"Okay, let's go." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "This time I've summoned you into the palace. I have to ask you some things. How is the progress of the investigation in the west of the city?"
For Chen Qiyu, this is not a difficult thing in itself. Whether it is him or Chen Sihai, he can be said to be familiar with doing such things.
The only difficulty in checking the land is whether the person who does things dares to take action and whether there is anyone behind the scenes to support him.
Why was Hai Rui able to do everything in the past? It was not because he dared to offend anyone. As long as he was fearless, such a case would be investigated.
Back then, Hai Rui was like a talisman. No one dared to touch him, so he naturally had no choice but to go against him.
Chen Sihai, Chen Qiyu and others, Zhu Youxiao also protected them tightly. He basically didn't read the impeachment question books, or even did not check them. There was no way to deal with Chen Sihai and the others; Chen Sihai and the others were both capable people, so it would be natural that the land was not a problem, and the progress was very smooth.
Chen Qiyu said: "Back to Your Majesty, everything is going well, and the census should be completed in another half a month."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "This is the best. Just now, the Marquis of Wuqing entered the palace and wanted to exchange his own garden for shops and real estate in the new city. Do you know what's going on?"
After hearing this, Chen Qiyu showed an angry look on his face, and then said, "Go back to Your Majesty, this Marquis of Wuqing is indeed insatiable and despicable. The garden in the west of the city originally occupied the farmland construction, and now there is still a miserable."
"In addition, he also occupied a lot of the mountains and land around the garden. Many of them were directly occupied without land deeds, and the people were also displaced, and some were even directly enslaved by him."
"When I investigated, I could be said to be full of righteous indignation. Obviously, he realized that it was not good and was ready to take off the garden in the west of the city. As long as His Majesty allows it, the affairs in the west of the city will naturally not be a big deal."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's face became very ugly.
Sure enough, there was something he didn't know about here. To put it bluntly, the west of the city began to become hot, and Li Gao was not going to hold it in his hands. If someone was impeached, the consequences might become serious.
The easiest way at this time is not to donate the garden? Then accept the beating and punishment, so that you can pass through it safely, or reduce the punishment.
But Li Gao obviously didn't have it, and he had to change the houses and shops in the city. What does this mean?
It can only be said that Li Gao really loves money and tries to take out the garden to replace it and recover some losses. Anyway, the shops and gardens in the city are now hot, and you can make money when you get it. Although it is worse than the gardens in the city, losing a little is different from losing a whole.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao was so angry that he laughed.
This is to ask for money.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Qiyu and said with a calm face: "After you go back, letting everyone know what Wu Qinghou did."
Hearing this, Chen Qiyu naturally understood what it meant and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I understand. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
"Go." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.
After Chen Qiyu left, Zhu Youxiao sighed and said to Chen Hong beside him: "Switch the way, just spread what happened today."
When the news spread, the result was that Wu Qinghou knew that he was guilty and was willing to donate the garden. This result was not what Zhu Youxiao wanted.
If you say it according to the facts, the result will be that Wu Qinghou has no bottom line, is insatiable, and is extremely stupid.
Such public opinion is more suitable for Wuqing Hou Li Gao, and it is more convenient for Zhu Youxiao to start afterwards.
