Seeing Mr. Lang showing a rare secret expression, as if he was thinking about something, Xie Shu flashed a smile in his eyes, and he also listened to him kindly.

Yu Chuxi blinked and said softly, "Xie Shu, do you still remember Xiyuan?"

West Garden?Yes.

Xie Shu's eyes lit up. He had been to the West Garden before. It was located in the middle of the mountain. It was quiet and elegant, and there was nothing to miss.

If there is any place in Jinling where the location of the palace is the most advantageous, then the West Garden deserves it. Besides, the West Garden is still owned by the Gu family, and there are all ready-made things. What does Mr. Lang mean, is he going to take advantage of the Gu family?

Yu Chuxi smiled slightly and said: "After three months, it will be August and September, and it will be midsummer at that time. The Holy Majesty will travel from Yangzhou to Jinling, mainly by water, from Qianjiagang to Qinhuai River. I don't want to live in the water palace anymore, the most satisfying thing for His Majesty should be a rare summer resort in the mountains.

This West Garden was built by the Gu family to escape the summer heat. It is only a few miles away from the city on the outskirts of Jinling. "

Hearing what Lang Jun said, Xie Shu also thought it was true. The West Garden built by the Gu family was completely in line with the emperor's taste.

It looks elegant, but it is actually unspeakably luxurious. There are more than hundreds of courtyards and attics, which must be enough for the emperor's entourage.It's just that if the Gu family wants to give up the West Garden, they will definitely not be willing, and I don't know what kind of idea the gentleman came up with...

Xie Shu looked at Yu Chuxi and looked forward to Shenfei. Among them, the dexterity is hard to describe. Xie Shu couldn't help but took Lang Jun's hand, squeezed it back and forth, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lang, do you have an idea? Tell me Tell me?"

Yu Chuxi was pinched by him, her heart was beating wildly, how could she hold on?

Although it is not fair and aboveboard to do so, Yu Chuxi knows that Xie Shu will not think it is wrong for him to do so...

Sure enough, upon hearing Yu Chuxi's words, the smile in Xie Shu's eyes couldn't stop. Seeing Yu Chuxi looking away, Xie Shu's heart itched slightly, and he wanted to tease him even more. He sighed softly. : "Young gentleman's talent is beyond my reach."

On that day, Su Kai, the head of the Su family, took dozens of servants to the Yu family in arrogance. Quite a few changes.

Originally thought that Jinling would change drastically from today onwards, but no one expected that the Yu family would find a glimmer of life in the desperate situation and turn around again!

And Su Kai not only left Yu's house disheartened, but also humbly sent many gifts to make amends. As for the other three wealthy businessmen who got the news, before they had time to digest it, they hurriedly imitated the Su family to make amends.

As soon as this happened, it was simply jaw-dropping and confusing.

At this time, everyone heard the news that the Holy Majesty was going to make a southern tour to Jinling in three months, and the Yu family took the initiative to call on other salt merchants to donate together to build a palace for the Holy Majesty's southern tour, which was favored by Eunuch Liu, so Let the Yu family be in charge of building the palace!

In the eyes of everyone, it was a great joy that the emperor made a tour of the south and selected them in Jinling.

The emperor is the son of heaven, the supreme person. Now the world is stable and the hearts of the people are submissive, all depend on this wise and holy lord.

Of course not everyone thinks that way, there are still too many injustices in this world, but Jinling is a rare and rich place, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are well educated, so naturally they respect His Majesty more than other places.

Therefore, together with the Yu family, their status in everyone's hearts has suddenly increased a lot, and they are in the limelight.

After this incident came out, it was not only the four wealthy businessmen in Jinling who were shocked.

Wang Jing has been a little restless these days.

That day he sent the guard to want him to catch Xie Shu's servant, and asked him why, who knew that the guard from the palace was so useless that he couldn't even catch a literati servant.

What made Wang Jing even more puzzled was that the guard was captured by Jinling's patrol so quickly, which was really strange.

Let's not talk about why the patrolling ability has improved so much, and let's say that the guard is obviously from Eunuch Liu, how can Eunuch Liu allow people in this place to dare to do anything under his nose?

Unless Eunuch Liu knows this person's identity intentionally, but if Eunuch Liu is really clear, he should know that this person belongs to the third prince, and although Eunuch Liu is not considered to be on the side of the third prince, the two are also in a cooperative relationship .Soon, Wang Jing found out that after Xie Shu found out that the servant was missing, he hurriedly reported to the police, but he didn't know whether it was a mistake or a chance meeting, which really led him to find the clue.

What made Wang Jing a little surprised was that Xie Shu did not know when he had such a relationship with the people in the government. Even Wan Linming, the magistrate, opened the door for him.In this way, some doubts have been resolved.

In fact, Wang Jing was not worried that he would be exposed. This person only looked for him once that night, and even though he went to Jiang's residence with him, no one found out that he was also a guard in the palace. Even if he made a mistake, the local Officials are not allowed to deal with it arbitrarily, not to mention such a small matter, since this person works for the third prince, he knows how powerful he is, so he will not confess to him.

It's just that Wang Jing has not fully gained the trust of the third prince, and there are not many people who can use it. Now that something has gone wrong, how can Wang Jing not be impatient?

However, this matter has not been resolved yet, and another news came out. Now, Eunuch Liu not only announced the donation from the salt merchant, but also entrusted the Yu family with full authority to build the palace!

Wang Jing is a member of the third prince, so he naturally knows the inside story.

It was the third prince's idea to secretly blackmail the salt merchants. It not only maintained the interests of the Gu family and him, but also held the handle of Eunuch Liu.

But now it's good, Eunuch Liu made such a move, which is equivalent to breaking away from the third prince's control!

Of course, Wang Jing didn't think that Eunuch Liu could be seen at a glance. Someone must be pointing behind his back, but who is this person?

A figure appeared in Wang Jing's mind for a while. If not long ago, Wang Jing would not have believed it, but now, there is no better explanation.

Wang Jing couldn't help feeling a huge sense of absurdity in her heart. Could it be that Xie Shu knew the key to this?

But how is this possible?

If he really knew that the person behind this was the third prince, how dare he go against the third prince like this!

Wang Jing has been by Zuo Ran's side all the time. Although the teacher has never been an official and won a good reputation in the world, Wang Jing knows that the teacher was disappointed when he saw the darkness of the officialdom and the fatuousness of the first emperor.Later, when His Majesty came to the throne today, didn't the teacher waver?

And Wang Jing read the books of sages since she was a child, collected sages and sages, and obtained fame.But Wang Jing soon discovered that what the teacher taught him was too idealistic.

There are levels of fairness in this world, and so do people.

In the established social rules, the aristocratic family has already had the upper hand, while the poor family has only a drop of land.

As a poor family, if Wang Jing really wants to fulfill his ambition, the only choice he can make is to bet his chips in the hands of a prince who is likely to inherit the great treasure.

Because in this world, only the emperor has the supreme power and can control a person's life and death.

And Wang Jing didn't know that the third prince was not the kind of wise king he thought, but Wang Jing also knew that because the emperor had such power, the degree of restraint on the emperor in the world depends entirely on the emperor himself There is no such thing as punishment or reward that can take effect immediately.Therefore, in this world, tyrants and foolish kings abound, but wise masters are so rare, so Wang Jing never had such expectations.

But Wang Jing never thought that Xie Shu not only dared to reject the third prince's solicitation, but also opposed the third prince.

For a moment, Wang Jing didn't know how to feel.

But only for a moment, Wang Jing came to his senses. He didn't need to understand Xie Shu, let alone guess Xie Shu's intentions, because after Xie Shu made such a decision, he had already opposed his position. Now All he had to do was report the truth.

But even so, Wang Jing still couldn't help frowning, feeling more complicated than ever.

On the other side, the Gu family is also in a state of desperation.

They never thought that Eunuch Liu would suddenly regret it!Not only did he not announce the matter, but he also handed over the establishment of the palace to the Yu family.

In this way, who should be responsible for the renovation of the Gu family?

Fortunately, Eunuch Liu did not tear himself apart with them, and took out 10 taels of silver. To Gu Zhong, this was completely different from what he had expected at the beginning.

10 taels of silver is an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is far from enough to deal with the emperor, and Gu Zhong himself has to add part...

But Gu Zhong could barely accept it, after all he didn't want to have trouble with Eunuch Liu.

He has been away from the capital for a long time now, but in order for His Majesty to always remember him, not only does he have to rely on his own sister, but also the person in front of the imperial court to bribe him from time to time.

It's just that in this way, they originally wanted to use a knife to kill people and deal with the Yu family, but it was completely in vain.

Now that Eunuch Liu has asked for an imperial edict for the Yu family, it is too late for those wealthy households to curry favor with them, so how dare they have other thoughts.Even Gu Zhong, it is impossible to make such a move at this time, on the contrary, it is necessary to give him convenience so that no one will be caught.

But in Gu Zhong's view, the Yu family has no experience. If they want to take on such a big event, they are not afraid of stealing chickens and losing money. What's more, it is too difficult to build a palace on flat ground in just three months. A mistake is a matter of losing his head, so Gu Zhong took his time and just waited for the follow-up progress.

But for several days in a row, Gu Zhong didn't find out any large-scale actions by the Yu family, but only called many people of all kinds and traditions, divination and fortune-telling.

Could it be that the first step of site selection is stuck?

Gu Zhong was not surprised. How could it be such a simple matter to choose a location for His Majesty's palace?Jinling City has a radius of several million miles, mountains, rivers, and beautiful scenery are too numerous to enumerate, but there are too many factors to consider when choosing a place to live.

This Yu family is so shallow and ignorant that they think they can choose a site with a few Taoist monks?

Just when Gu Zhong sneered at this, he suddenly heard news that these people unanimously calculated a place that was most suitable for building a palace.
