Xu Congcheng is not very good, but he feels that this butler Xu is quite reliable.

After getting Gu Qingyun's words, I felt that I could go back and hand over the job, so I immediately handed over.

There are three factory-style houses, each with an area of ​​about ten acres and less than twenty acres, two of which live in and one as a warehouse.

The land is 4,000 acres.

Zhu Yiliu remembers the surrounding terrain and landforms in mind.

He probably has a plan in mind how to build Xingnong Group.

Zhang Jing knew that Zhu Yiliu could not leave the palace for too long, so he rushed back after the handover.

Because he had a little unhappy with Butler Xu just now, Gu Qingyun did not intend to pick up Xu Xianchun himself, but sent someone to do it for him.

In this way, the group prepared to return to the palace.

Zhang Jing was determined and couldn't help asking: "Gu Baihu, did you not negotiate with the Xu family yesterday?"

"I think the agreement has been completed. I thought His Majesty would give the Xu family some compensation, even if it was a short promise to give them a little, so that they could feel more comfortable. Who knew that His Majesty would be silent, what would I do?"

Gu Qingyun shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Jing nodded and then said, "Gu Baihu means that the Xu family originally disagreed yesterday, so you asked for compensation, but in fact, it was not instructed by my master, right?"

"It's almost the same. Actually, I think it's reasonable for the Xu family to make this request."

"Oh, does Gu Baihu think my master is not doing well enough? Or is he bullying the Xu family with his power?"

"That's not the case. I think His Majesty has a bit of a forced stake."

"It was originally a forced levy, and borrowing was just an excuse."

"Why didn't Eunuch Zhang tell Butler Xu just now?" Gu Qingyun was resentful.

"Negotiation is a task assigned to you by the master, and my task is just for handover." Zhang Jing made a solemn statement, and then changed his mind and added, "But Gu Baihu did not seem to have a negotiation to satisfy the Xu family."

"Hey!" Gu Qingyun sighed, "Your Majesty will not be satisfied with anyone."

"Then how did you reply to my master yesterday?"

"Just say that the Xu family agreed. He originally asked for compensation before His Majesty, but His Majesty's face suddenly changed. Obviously he didn't want to give it, so I stopped him. He was the emperor and didn't want to give it. I don't think it's a big deal. What else can the Xu family do?"

"It must be nothing big, but wouldn't Gu Baihu do this mean to cheat both my master and the Xu family?"

"It's enough to do it. But in fact, there's no way to cheat, right? Your Majesty handed me this task, of course I have to take care of both."

"Let's go, I wish Gu Baihu good luck!"

"Thank you! I've been in such a bad luck recently. I hope to bring me good luck by borrowing the auspicious words of Eunuch Zhang."

Zhang Jing thought to himself, this is probably a bit difficult.

...

It was fine on the way just now, but as soon as I returned to the palace, Gu Qingyun was a little worried.

Therefore, he instructed: "Eunuch Zhang, I will see Your Majesty later, don't talk about the process."

"What does Gu Baihu mean?"

"It is just about only the result of successful acceptance and not the process, especially the rewards that Mr. Xu said."

"Gu Baihu, do you think my master is easy to cheat?"

"Of course not." Gu Qingyun blurted out, "Whoever thinks your Majesty is easy to deceive? Please see Eunuch Zhou Zuo. Your Majesty is more skillful than anyone else. I just want to get things done well, so don't make Your Majesty unhappy and scold me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant next to Zhang Jing said in a deep voice: "I originally wanted to blame you for eighty-four-pound boards. The last sentence can reduce you twenty, but you can't even run away with sixty-four-bottom boards."

This voice... Gu Qingyun was so excited that he quickly looked at him, Damn! He was so scared that he was half dead. Who was this Zhu Yiliu? Why?

"Your Majesty forgive me! Your Majesty forgive me..." Gu Qingyun immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"I'm right. You really don't know how to understand it without any pain. Follow me to the East Warehouse."

Zhu Yilu left with a slightest sleeve.

Zhang Jing shook his head and sighed, following closely.

Gu Qingyun knelt and his legs were trembling, feeling weak all over and unable to get up. Why is his luck so sad? I took a special look at the almanac before going out today!

...

Zhu Yiliu returned to Dongguan Pavilion and sat down to reflect.

Why do people in the inner and outer courts dare to deceive him? And they are people who know him quite well.

First Zhou Zuo, then Gu Qingyun...and so on, there must be others.

Is it really because he is too kind? Or is it the style of the officialdom that is already like this?

No slap can be slap.

He believes that the reasons should be multifaceted. But no matter what, it is worth pondering and changes must be made.

Gu Qingyun crawled in tremblingly and knelt down.

"Raise your head." Zhu Yili shouted, "I have told you more than just once, be honest and down-to-earth, but you will never change your knowledge. If I hadn't followed you today, I wouldn't know that you have this kind of virtue."

"Please forgive me for your crimes! Please forgive me for your crimes!"

"You are a small Jinyiwei family. If you didn't think of your bravery and hope to reuse you in the future, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you, but it depends on what you did? Do you think I'm easy to deceive or do I think I'm kind?"

"..." Gu Qingyun dared not say anything.

"You are talking. You are like a grandson in front of me, and you go out and behave like an old man. I wish you were so stupid that you deceived your head off and feed it to the dog."

“…”

"I have repeatedly emphasized what I say so that I can understand the people's sentiments and know what everyone thinks, but you always think that I only like to listen to good things and do not hesitate to cover up and lie. Is it that difficult to tell the truth?"

“…”

"Come here, drag it out and take the cane to be punished with 60." Zhu Yiliu didn't want to say more.

Gu Qingyun was taken away.

Soon, another scream came from Meridian Gate Square.

However, Gu Qingyun is much more restrained than Zhou Zuo who screams like a pig.

In less than ten days, two people close to Zhu Yili were punished with a stick...

Zhu Yiliu was reflecting himself.

Others even speculated that the emperor has been very uneasy recently. Is it because the queen and Shupin are pregnant?

Men who are pregnant with their daughter-in-law are very angry.

Of course, smart people will see further.

Through the two poker incidents, we can see what the emperor resists or opposes.

It’s not because of the supreme imperial power that you can hit someone, and hit anyone you want to hit. The two pokers are all because of deception - does that mean that the emperor hates being deceived the most?

But no matter what, the two poker incidents caused a major change in the officialdom in the capital.

...

Although Gu Qingyun was beaten to the top 60, he was not dismissed, but continued to serve as the head of a hundred households.

This gave him a glimmer of hope in his misfortune.

The failure to dismiss his post at least means that Zhu Yiliu has not given up on him and he still has a chance to turn things around in the future.

What made him feel depressed was how to communicate with the emperor in a co-star way?

Is it honest and down-to-earth work?

Has the key emperor done it?

Anyway, he felt that Zhu Yiliu didn't seem to have done it either.

...

"Why have you been fascinated by beating people recently?"

On the night after Gu Qingyun was punished, Zheng Miaojin teased Zhu Yili.

"Beating is a kiss or scolding, and love. If you have expectations for them, you will hit them." Zhu Yiliu sighed, "Otherwise, you will be directly sent to prison. I really hope that they will learn from their mistakes and not make the same mistakes again on the road ahead. At the same time, I hope to use these two poaches to let the Ming officials see my true heart."

"What is the original heart?"

"pragmatic."
