When Liu Jin heard Zhu Houzhao say this, he knew that he had basically no opera singing, so Zhu Houzhao gave up. It seemed that Qunfang Pavilion might become an instant fact.

For Liu Jin, the significance of Qunfang Pavilion is not how much money it can earn for him, but the information it collects and the connection resources it creates. Now that it is about to be blocked, Liu Jin is a little sorry, so he couldn't help but mention it again.

"Emperor, if Qunfang Pavilion is sealed, how should Jiang Xia arrange it?"

When talking about Jiang Xia, Zhu Houzhao became even more upset. He supported his forehead with his hand and murmured to himself: "I am upset about this matter. I haven't met such an interesting person for a long time. These folk pavilions were to be sealed because of me. It would be too unfavorable if I didn't give him any compensation." Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at Liu Jin: "What do you think if I grant him an official position?"

"Enjoying an official?" Liu Jin was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao's heart would have admired Jiang Xia so much.

You should know that although Zhu Houzhao is the emperor and has the power to say nothing. However, the court has the laws of the court. It is definitely not a simple matter to be appointed to an official of a civilian without fame for no reason. There are many operations involved. If the operation is not good, the censors may leave a handle, and a verbal criticism will be waiting for Zhu Houzhao.

In troubled times, the sword of military generals, and the mouth of civil officials in prosperous times. In troubled times, the most powerful and taboo thing for the emperor is that military generals hold their own troops. In prosperous times, the emperor is most afraid of the mouth of civil officials. A mistake in a mistake will lead to the historical records that thousands of people refer to. Zhengde inherited the Hongzhi revival, which can be regarded as a prosperous era.

Liu Jin thought about it and said that although he also hoped that Jiang Xia could enter the officialdom and establish a good relationship with Zhu Houzhao, so that he could take him as his own assistant, he had to think about Zhu Houzhao. If he couldn't consider this matter thoroughly, the final result would be that Jiang Xia could not be regarded as an official, and Zhu Houzhao also caused trouble.

As a qualified slander, whether Liu Jin is the chief supervisor of the Sili Supervisor or the supervisor of the Dongchang Factory, he always depends on Zhu Houzhao to survive. This must be clearly understood. Without Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin will lose everything. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao must be good, and Liu Jin will be good.

Liu Jin pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Your Majesty, I think it's not appropriate to arrange an official position for Jiang Xia now. Think about it, since Master Li already knows that you have gone to Qunfang Pavilion, he naturally has a good understanding of Qunfang Pavilion. After knowing Qunfang Pavilion, he must also know that Jiang Xia is close to you. If you immediately grant him an official position after being conferred in Qunfang Pavilion, I'm afraid Master Li won't give up."

"It makes sense, it makes sense." Zhu Houzhao nodded.

"Oh, this is not OK, that is not OK, it is really annoying. You go down first and ask the people below to pay attention to it. My whereabouts must be kept strictly confidential in the future and we must never know it."

"Yes, I obey the order."

Liu Jin bowed to Zhu Houzhao and then stepped back.

Not long after Liu Jin left the study, Zhu Houzhao was alone in the study and wondering how to deal with the things in front of him. At this time, Zhang Yong stood outside the study and knocked on the door, then shouted: "Your Majesty, I asked for a meeting with Zhang Yong."

"Come in." Zhu Houzhao's voice came from the room.

Squeak... The door of the study room was pushed open, and Zhang Yong walked in with a soup cup with a tea tray. While walking, Zhang Yong said, "Your Majesty, I asked the kitchen to stew bird's nest for you. You should drink it while it's hot."

"You are willing, but I don't have much appetite now, so you can let it go." Zhu Houzhao was indifferent.

Zhang Yong walked to Zhu Houzhao with his bird's nest, and put it on the table, Zhang Yong smiled and said, "I know that the emperor is worried about the matter of Shoufu Li's prefecture to seal Qunfang Pavilion, but the emperor does not need to worry. I have already had a solution."

"Do you have a countermeasure?" Zhu Houzhao was excited and asked with a smile: "What countermeasure? Let's talk about it."

Zhang Yong bowed slightly to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty Li wants to seal Qunfang Pavilion. He is your grand tutor. It's not convenient for you to wipe out his face. It's nothing great if you seal it. I saw a house for sale next to Chaoyang Gate in this capital. The house is big and the terrain is also good. It's the house of Shi Wei, the former Minister of Works. I think that since it's imperative to close Qunfang Pavilion, why should the emperor join forces with Jiangxia and buy the house and open a Qunfang Pavilion again. Of course, the name may need to be changed, but it's still left to Jiangxia to take care of it. With Jiangxia's ability and intelligence, I think it won't take long to surpass Qunfang Pavilion."

After hearing Zhang Yong's words, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up. He turned his head and patted Zhang Yong on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Zhang Yong, I didn't expect you to come up with such a good idea. But don't think I don't know, the house you mentioned was given to you by Shi Wei. Shi Wei retired and returned home. You helped his son Shi Qing to have a sixth-rank chief in the Ministry of Justice. In order to repay you, Shi Wei gave the house to you."

Zhang Yong was shocked when he heard this. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "The emperor forgives his crimes. I did not intend to deceive the emperor. It was actually a gift to me. I did not dare to take it rashly before the emperor agreed. Now that I learned that the emperor was useful, I thought of using it. I should die ten thousand times, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Zhang Yong was so scared that his whole body trembled. As for the serious matter, it was to deceive the king and not to be punished. But if it was to be lighter, it was no big deal. Whether it was death or life, it was all in Zhu Houzhao's thoughts. The so-called accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger is the truth.

"Hahahaha..." Zhu Houzhao laughed a few times, and he reached out to pull Zhang Yong up and said, "I didn't blame you, why are you so nervous? I know that you have some social interactions and social interactions in the officialdom, and I have never said anything about you. As long as you are loyal to me, you can do it. You can do it in the house. Not only is it not a crime, but it has been meritorious. After doing it, I promise to give your nephew Zhang Shou the right Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Zhang Yong didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, but now Zhu Houzhao gives grace. No matter what he feels in his heart, Zhang Yong could only respond first: "Thank you, the emperor."

Honglu Temple was received by foreign guests. The Right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple was a fifth-rank official position, and belonged to one of the three nobles of Honglu Temple. On the surface, this was a favor. But you should know that Zhang Shou was a dictionary of Guanglu Temple before, and this was an official position of seventh-rank, and his rank was several levels lower than the Right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

However, Guanglu Temple is responsible for the diet of the palace, and the palms are full of oil and water. Especially Zhang Shou is still weak, and sometimes a large sum of silver is earned with a big pen. Naturally, there is not so much oil and water to get when you go to Honglu Temple, which can be regarded as a kind of rise in the open and fall in the dark.

But none of these matters. What matters is Zhu Houzhao's intention to do this.

The matter of Shi Wei giving a house was originally a secret, but Zhu Houzhao knew it. Zhang Shou and himself were uncles and nephews, and they were also secrets, but Zhu Houzhao knew it again. He pointed out both things, and he let them go over them lightly. This loosening made Zhang Yong not nervous.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao's move revealed another message to Zhang Yong indirectly. The two secret matters should not be known to Zhu Houzhao. He could know now that someone was a rumor. And the person who informed the rumor... was obvious that it must be Liu Jin, who was well-informed in the East Factory in the palm of his hand, was undoubtedly.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yong's hatred towards Liu Jin increased a little more.

In fact, what Zhang Yong didn't know was that these two things were reported by the Jinyi Guardian. Zhu Houzhao deliberately did not point it out, and he deliberately asked Zhang Yong to misunderstand Liu Jin. It doesn't matter if the people below bite the dog. What's important is that they must understand who the master is and how to avoid being eliminated. This is the emperor's mind. Although Zhu Houzhao is young, people from the royal family have extraordinary backgrounds after all, and he has already played with this skill very skillfully.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xia waited for Kang Qingyan at the door of Yu Qunfang Pavilion as he said as he was about to come.

Since coming to the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Xia has been worried that his body has been in trouble because of the disorder of the true qi in his body, and his quality is too poor, so he has always had plans to exercise. Some time ago, because there were too many things, he did not exercise, but the business of Qunfang Pavilion is basically on track, so Jiang Xia is ready to exercise for a child.

Not long after Chen Shi, Jiang Xia did not wait for Kang Qingyan to come out, so he was about to leave.

Just as Jiang Xia walked two steps, the door of Qunfang Pavilion opened, and Kang Qingyan, who was wearing heavy makeup, walked out of Qunfang Pavilion.

Seeing Kang Qingyan wearing a noble and gorgeous double-breasted long skirt, Jiang Xia was immediately amused by her. He couldn't help but say angrily and amusedly: "I asked you out to go out to run together. You're fine, you're dressed as if you were going to a dance party. How do you run in this outfit?"

Kang Qingyan didn't expect that she had worked hard to dress up for a long time early in the morning, but was finally criticized by Jiang Xia. In anger, Kang Qingyan frowned and said, "I want you to care, I'm dressing like this, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Kang Qingyan started to be in trouble again, Jiang Xia had to raise his hand and surrender, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, forget it, according to yours. Just do whatever you like, I'll start running, you can keep up with it yourself."

"Don't be anxious." Kang Qingyan screamed, then took out a piece of paper from his clothes and shook it open and shook it in front of Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia recognized it at a glance: "Niannu's contract to sell his body?"

"Niannu Niannu, you are a ungrateful guy who is just coveting other people's beauty." Kang Qingyan took back the contract and said, "As long as you can accomplish what you promised me and help me restore my youthful beauty, I will give you Cui Niannu's contract, otherwise you won't even think about cheating away this contract."

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "How ugly the word 'liar' is. We will make a decision. I will help you restore your youthful beauty. Okay, run with me and remember to adjust the rhythm of your breathing..."
