"I'm not surprised if you teach me something!" Gong Shouli looked at everyone, "You adults will definitely have something to teach me."
"I don't dare to take the advice seriously, but if Eunuch Gong is willing, there will always be a chance to be filial to the emperor." Yuan Ren said, "The emperor is fifty this year, but he has not yet been able to entertain his grandson. This..."
"Can I help with this?" Gong Shouli said, "Manager Qu is pretty much the same. Go back and talk to King Xuanping so that he can get married as soon as possible and give birth to a prince."
"Our prince is still young, and he is so busy now that he has no time to take care of this matter." Qu Baimei said with a smile.
"Although the prince is young, he still needs to pay attention to his health. Didn't he catch the cold when he went to inspect the imperial mausoleum last time?" The fat man's words were quite abrupt.
"Yes, I often advise the prince like this, but he doesn't listen. If it weren't for Dean Shangguan's effective medicine that time, he would have fallen down." Qu Baimei said.
"Why did the prince go to the imperial mausoleum to inspect?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Isn't it snowing heavily this year?" Qu Baimei asked, "The prince is worried that if the snow melts next year, there will be mudslides on the mountain and the prince's tomb will be damaged, so he went to check it out in person."
"So the temporary mausoleum is not reliable!" Xiao Chen said, "It collapsed in the earthquake back then. It was because of the construction schedule that the soil underneath was not filled in."
Everyone knew about it, and they all said that it was indeed Jiang Zi, so the emperor killed several big craftsmen, and even Ma Wuming, the Minister of Industry, almost resigned because of this.
Gong Shouli became thoughtful...
"I would say it's time for the emperor to build a mausoleum. Although this is something that I cannot bear to say, it is always good to be prepared." Xiao Chen said casually.
"Well, this matter really needs to be prepared early." Yuan Ren said, "I have also told the emperor about this matter, but the emperor always said that the treasury is tight and does not want to spend it on this..."
"As for the cost, it can be more or less, but no matter how much it is, this money will always be spent. It doesn't have to be completed in a year. You can do it slowly." Zhao Yu said.
"In times of disaster, the emperor is busy with disaster relief, so I'm afraid he won't have the heart to do this." Liu Qiheng said.
"Although disasters occurred in various places this year, thanks to the large amount of funding from Yanyun County, and the friendly countries from various countries also donated a lot of money, everyone themselves also donated some, I calculated that it was more than 20 million Two, the disaster relief is completely enough, and there should be a lot of surplus." Zhao Yu said.
"Master Liu, this matter should be handled by the Etiquette Department, right? You can talk to the Emperor later when you have time," Xiao Chen said.
"Why is Mr. Liu going to serve in the Ministry of Etiquette?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Today, the emperor summoned me to the palace and asked me to take over the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. Alas... I originally wanted to resign and return to my hometown, but the emperor refused to allow it, so I had to do my best." Although Liu Qiheng was He sighed, but he was obviously trying to suppress the joy in his heart.
"It would be great if you, Mr. Liu, are here in the Ministry of Rites." Zhao Yu said, "Congratulations to Mr. Liu."
"It's all recommended by Prince Xuanping, but I'm not grateful to him either. Something happened to Cheng Youwen just now, and the Ministry of Etiquette is in a mess. This coincides with the triennial examination... The prince is obviously trying to put me, Liu Qiheng, on fire. Roast it!" Liu Qiheng made two insincere complaints, showing his gratitude to Prince Xuanping.
"Laoqu, you are so mean. You have known this for a long time, right? Why didn't you tell me?" Fatty said, "Otherwise, I would have offered Mr. Liu a glass of wine just now to establish friendship with him. Now, If we toast again, wouldn’t it be too late?”
"How dare I, a butler, hear about such an important matter?" Qu Baimei said with a smile, "Even if he knew about it, he wouldn't dare to come out and talk nonsense. Fortunately, it's not too late to flatter him. We'll wait for a few adults to toast later. Our brother Two more toasts would be the icing on the cake and would be of some benefit."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere became tense.
"According to Liu Qiheng, is it impossible for the emperor to build a mausoleum?" Gong Shouli was still thinking about what he just said.
"The envoy is the envoy," Liu Qiheng said, "but the emperor ordered me to reorganize the etiquette department and asked me to cooperate with Mr. Xiao in preparing various matters for the examination. It is not good for me to report this matter to the emperor now."
"What Mr. Liu said makes sense." Xiao Chen said, "But I think it's time to take care of this matter. I'll go into the palace to see the emperor and ask him for a brief invitation."
"I think you, Xiao Chen, should save your time." The fat man said with a smile, "Don't rush to take pictures of all the flattery, but you should also leave some opportunities for the big guys, right?"
"How about I go back and talk to our prince, and let him go and invite you." Qu Baimei said.
"That's not appropriate either. Firstly, King Xuanping has just arrived, and secondly, it's something that neither of the two princes have mentioned, but if he wants to say it, it seems like..." Xiao Chen said.
It seems to be a bit suspicious of a conspicuous bag.
"Besides, even if the emperor is right, who will take care of this matter?" Zhao Yu said.
"I don't think we guys should worry about this for now. Let's drink properly. Old Gong, please give Mr. Liu three glasses of wine first!" Xiao Chen changed the topic and started to talk about the drinks.
He is the master, and besides him, Gong Shouli is the eldest person here, so he is asked to toast first.
Everyone was drinking and chatting until midnight.
Gong Shouli did not enter the palace, but went home directly. Seeing that he smelled of alcohol, his concubine Luzhu helped him undress and prepare to take a bath, while she complained in a low voice, "I said I was going to ask Dean Shangguan to come and diagnose my pulse. Why?" You drank so much? Drinking is your life, so you don’t care about other people’s lives!”
Lu Zhu was about twenty-two years old. She was extremely handsome, but also sensible and well-behaved. She was Gong Shouli's favorite concubine.
In the past few days, she was so anxious that she suddenly started to vomit. She vomited everything she ate and even drank water. Her originally round and delicate face turned sallow.
Gong Shouli was so panicked that he hurriedly invited several imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to take a look. After diagnosing his pulse, the imperial doctors knelt down and congratulated him without saying a word. Only then did he realize that Luzhu was pregnant!
I am ecstatic, but also unbelievable. How long has it been since I had the surgery?
She got pregnant so quickly. Could it be that these royal doctors were talking nonsense?
In addition, Luzhu was still vomiting violently and was losing weight when he saw the person. He felt uneasy and felt that he had to have Dean Shangguan come to see him in person to feel at ease.
But firstly, Dean Shangguan has been extremely busy every day since he took office at the sugar factory. Secondly, Gong Shouli was always suspicious and worried that Luzhu was falsely pregnant and would make him happy in vain, so he thought of having two happy babies first. God, it would be better if the truth comes later.
In addition, he still had a big doubt in his heart. He had done a lot of evil things in his life, and he was afraid that there would be retribution. Retribution on himself would be nothing, but if retribution was on his children...
People say that those who have done too many bad things will not have a son. If this were true, Gong Shouli would have killed him head-on!
I am also afraid that after being a eunuch for so many years, my vitality and yang energy are not strong. If I give birth to a baby that dies in infancy, it will be a matter of great joy and sorrow...
