Chapter 1434: Open and honest
When Tang Bohu talked about Mr. Li coming, Ye Chunqiu had already guessed that it was Li Dongyang, and this person he had been waiting for.
Ye Chunqiu was in a good mood. Although he was in a hurry, he was very brisk. He arrived at the central hall in a short while and saw Li Dongyang sitting in the hall.
This is the first time Li Dongyang came to the Ye family. He was drinking tea, and his eyes were looking at the magnificent hall of the Ye family with great interest.
Speaking of which, many of the officials in the capital were brought by the Ye family.
For example, this sofa that sat very comfortable, the exquisite decoration on the wall, and the clean and bright porcelain pieces on the ground.
In the past, it was already amazing for people to paste blue bricks, but it was really a waste of luxury when pasting porcelain pieces.
But since Zhenguo Mansion built several porcelain kilns to produce these kinds of floor-laying tiles, and Ye Chunqiu and others have brought the trend, many families have also started to paste porcelain pieces, which has become a symbol of wealth. If you don’t paste this at home, you will be embarrassed to say that you can make a living in the capital!
There are many wealthy people in Beijing, and some people have made the first choice. This ceramic, which was originally used as a utensil for making utensils and crafts, has now become a thing for stepping on it. The price of each piece is terrifying. You have to use cement as the bottom before you can lay the porcelain pieces on it.
But the benefits are also obvious, not only make the house more colorful, but also add a sense of wealth and glory.
Speaking of this, the porcelain tiles business in Zhenguofu has now become the main force. The porcelain tiles they burn are good. Because of the large-scale production, coupled with the kilns they use, and the latest blower tools, the porcelain tiles produced are both cheap and of good quality.
Therefore, porcelain kilns have become the pillar industry of Zhenguo Mansion.
Since this is the business of Zhenguo Mansion, the Ye family naturally becomes extravagant when using ceramic tiles, especially in this hall, the tiles in Yishui are laid out, and the top of the tiles are printed on them are rich and auspicious colors. If this is hundreds of years later, it is of course old-fashioned, but in this era, it has a very profound meaning and is deeply loved by the nobles in Beijing.
Sitting on the sofa, my feet were on the porcelain board, and in the sky, I was hung with a crystal glass lamp, the walls had been renovated, and a fire had been built, and a fire had been set in the furnace. Although it was the cold winter month, the main hall was as warm as spring.
In a sense, Li Dongyang was worried about this. The fashionable porcelain kiln alone recruited thousands of craftsmen. It is said that it was insufficient labor. So many people had abandoned farmers and worked as workers, which was not a good thing.
However, looking at Ye Chunqiu who had already entered the hall, Li Dongyang finally regained his mind. Of course, he was not here to make trouble when he came to the door this time.
Ye Chunqiu walked forward quickly and bowed to him and said, "I have seen Mr. Li, why is Mr. Li coming? I don't know in advance."
Li Dongyang stroked his beard and smiled and said, "But just come and have a look. Duke Zhenguo, you are very good here, but you know how to enjoy it."
Li Dongyang said this, but Ye Chunqiu didn't believe that Li Dongyang just came to see it so simple, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter? I'm just laughing at Mr. Li." As he said that, Ye Chunqiu sat down and continued, "Mr. Li is an important official of the Ming Dynasty. He has a lot of trouble every day. I think he is not a talkative person. I don't know what to tell me?"
Li Dongyang smiled, but took a sip of tea casually, and then he slowly said: "It was thanks to Duke Zhenguo yesterday that he was spared from the sticks of several censors. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Speaking of which, Your Majesty is now indulging in beauty. I am really worried. Didn't Duke Zhenguo notice that his Majesty's complexion is much worse?"
It's true!
Ye Chunqiu of course knew that Li Dongyang came here not to talk about the romantic relationship. Yang Chun Baixue came to the door at this time, probably only for the two women.
At the moment when King Xing was extinguished, Li Dongyang should have started planning the plan, but he didn't expect King Xing to send two beauties into the palace, and it really made His Majesty fascinated. Why is Master Li not worried?
It is not difficult to imagine that if the situation continues to develop, once the two women blow the pillow wind, your Majesty may have the intention to reiterate the laws of the ancestors and restore their salaries. By then, they will lose all their money.
Li Dongyang is now sloppy. He originally arranged for the censor to test His Majesty's attitude first. If he just likes him simply, he must have been good at it. If he is really like varnish, that would be bad.
But the result was really bad. His Majesty actually ordered a stick.
This made Li Dongyang's worries even worse.
After thinking about it, Li Dongyang only found this place when he thought of Ye Chunqiu, and then the conversation between the two of them was now.
After hearing his words, Ye Chunqiu said, "Your Majesty's complexion is really not very good. Mr. Li must be worried about the two beauties sent by King Xing."
Li Dongyang sighed and said quietly: "You are right, yes, I am worried about this. King Xing has given his salary and now he is giving him a beauty. I am very uneasy these days. The one who knows Your Majesty the best in the world is probably Duke Zhenguo. Duke Zhenguo, I will go to the Three Treasures Hall today without any trouble. I am begging you to come."
Face...is enough.
The Chief Minister of the Cabinet, the Grand Secretary, personally spoke up to the word "seeking", which also showed Li Dongyang's helplessness towards Zhu Houzhao.
Ye Chunqiu thought in his heart that Li Dongyang was smart. If someone else came, he would definitely tell me what impact these two women would have on you. Ye Chunqiu. I am for your own good. If you don’t cut off these two beauties, you will sooner or later be in trouble.
This kind of persuasion that seems to be from your standpoint will instead make smart people like Ye Chunqiu disgusted, thinking that this is using themselves.
But Li Dongyang did the opposite, directly explaining his influence on him, Li Dongyang, so he came to ask Ye Chunqiu to do his job.
This means that Li Dongyang said to Ye Chunqiu that I owe you a favor now, but things are already very urgent. No matter what, please help me.
Ye Chunqiu understood it and smiled and said, "I'm not hiding it from Mr. Li, in fact, the Empress is also very worried about this and has ordered me to solve this problem in private."
He did not hide it, but directly told the story of Empress Xia's entrusted. Ye Chunqiu knew very well that Li Dongyang had received news about two beauties in the palace, which showed that he was in the harem. Since he could not hide it from him, he would just tell him!
