Inside Sixiang City.

Qi Xingyun has arrived at the palace.

Sixiang City has always been one of the companion capitals, with a well-built palace inside. The emperor would come to the palace to rest for a while almost every year.

"Master Zhang, wouldn't it be better not to have this wedding?" Qi Xingyun looked at Zhang Tingyu and said with some melancholy.

The people of Daqi had food, clothing, and became rich.

As Qi Xingyun walked along the road, he could even see people working in the fields wearing new clothes.

Moreover, the brown color on the faces of the people in Sixiang City is almost invisible.

But Daqi's national funds were depleted, not because they earned less, but because they spent too much. Several big road construction projects were smashed, and the little national money was gone like running water.

The internal funds are controlled by the iron cock Wang Yun. There are frequent wars in Daqi, so it is always possible to save as much as possible.

Qi Xingyun handled the matter with the idea of ​​economy, but Zhang Tingyu obviously didn't think so.

Zhang Tingyu said: "Your Majesty, it is a top priority for the emperor to accept a concubine. In the time of Queen Zhao, your majesty was still a prince, so he did it hastily. Then the good concubines were also in a hurry to enter the palace. At this time, your majesty accepted the concubine, and the country was peaceful and the people were safe.

Although there is an attack on the matter, it will not affect His Majesty's celebration of the wedding."

"Besides, this is your Majesty's office in Sixiang. If it is not done well and the market is not open to the public, I will be impeached."

Qi Xingyun took a deep breath and said: "Then let's do it and use internal funds."

Eunuch Wang Yun leaned over and said: "That must be funded by internal funds. I paid three million taels of silver to supervise this matter specifically! Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will be done with splendor! It will be done with dignity! It will show my true self."

The majesty of the Daqi royal family."

Three million taels?! Qi Xingyun was silent...

More than three million taels, so much money was put at the wedding. Isn’t this the work of a subjugated king?!

Eunuch Wang Yun, you are so lost!

However, Qi Xingyun somewhat understood why Eunuch Wang Yun, as a chamberlain, was unwilling to cut down on internal funds.

Qi Xingyun always felt that his pace was not following his own. Now thinking about it, internal money is really necessary sometimes.

When you are really in urgent need of money, arguing with courtiers is not digging your own grave?

Qi Xingyun thought for a while and said: "Isn't it too expensive? If these three million silver were given to the City Shipping Department, they could build ten large ships with thousands of materials. It's too much. It can be done, but it has to be done.

Save. Save some money if you can."

"It's just a wedding, and everyone has arrived at Sixiang City. It's such a waste to spend so much. Ten large ships with all kinds of materials, how much silver can... be transported back? It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate!"

Eunuch Wang Yun glanced at Zhang Tingyu and said: "Your Majesty, these are the three plans prepared for Zha Zi. Which one will your Majesty choose?"

Qi Xingyun opened the note and took a look, and then he realized how the three million silver was spent.

In fact, the entire wedding process cost less than 100,000 silver, and the remaining money was mainly used to build a palace.

Qi Xingyun searched for a long time and found from his sleeves the papers for the large palace that had been built for Empress Zhao last year by the Ministry of Works.

It turns out that the regulations of the palace in Eunuch Wang Yun's picture are higher than those of Queen Zhao's palace...

"Zhao Douzhi, you, you, you." Qi Xingyun chose the cheapest third option, which was a simple wedding worth one hundred thousand silver.

Qi Xingyun handed the note in his hand to Eunuch Wang Yun and said: "The remaining money will be sent to the City Shipping Department. I want to see ten large ships with all kinds of materials on this day next year."

In fact, the reason why Zhang Tingyu insisted on holding this wedding was very, very simple. It was still an issue of heirs.

Zhang Tingyu felt that the palace needed to celebrate the occasion, so he did not organize a grand wedding ceremony, which offended Yue Lao.

Eunuch Wang Yun felt that the feng shui was wrong...

Therefore, Eunuch Wang Yun planned to build a new palace with the help of the concubine. The area where the four elephants were located was not small, and the floor was paved with gold bricks. The several bare halls really undermined the majesty of the royal family.

If you change Feng Shui, maybe things will come to an end soon?

These ministers became superstitious, which even Qi Xingyun found unbelievable...

Qi Xingyun also dug out several letters from the Ministry of Industry last year. He looked at them for a long time and finally realized something was wrong.

Qi Xingyun took pictures of the paper and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why.

Zhang Tingyu was about to fall asleep due to the sound of His Majesty taking pictures. The spring was warm and rhythmic, which made him a little tired.

Qi Xingyun's letter suddenly stopped and said: "Master Zhang, there are no outsiders in the hall. If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you keep holding me back?"

Zhang Tingyu had been studying the words "hold me" for a long time, so he naturally knew what His Majesty was talking about.

Here, Zhang Tingyu worked hard for the emperor's face. The floor is paved with gold bricks. Is it luxurious?

Luxurious!

But Zhang Tingyu still felt that it was not enough, and wanted to continue to strengthen the monarch's power, and would do it whenever he got the opportunity.

Zhang Tingyu squinted his eyes and still said lazily: "I also have selfish motives."

"Your Majesty, the future promotion of Sixiang City to the capital of the imperial family is the most important issue at the moment."

"Your Majesty may not know, but the people have long been noisy and crazy."

"I just want to take good care of His Majesty inside and out, and the affairs of Sixiang City will be stable."

"It would be great if Sixiang City could be made the capital of the imperial family! Sixiang City would become important in an instant. How dare I not do my best?"

Qi Xingyun nodded and said: "So this is the idea. The selfishness you mentioned is, after all, the selfishness of Sixiang City, and it is also public."

"But that's not what I'm asking. You know what I'm asking."

Qi Xingyun obviously saw that Zhang Tingyu was trying to fight with him and said he would keep half of it.

Zhang Tingyu couldn't figure it out, so he looked around and called to Eunuch Wang Yun. He got a small desk with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a few words, and said: "Your Majesty, I can't speak clearly. Just write it down for Your Majesty."

.”

Zhang Tingyu wrote a few words in a flying phoenix and asked Eunuch Wang Yun to hand it to Qi Xingyun.

Qi Xingyun sneered and said: "It's so mysterious, just say it."

But when he saw these words, he also understood why Zhang Tingyu was unwilling to explain clearly.

It's actually a few simple words.

It is the temple name of Taizu, Taizong, the emperor who lived for hundreds of years, which means that the previous emperors were not as wise as him. Except for the Taishang Emperor, who has not yet finalized his coffin, and Taizu, the other emperors are far behind him.

But this cannot be said openly.

It was also because Qi Xingyun would not blame him that he wrote it down on paper.

If it were another person, he might not have the courage to point this out.
