Since the rumors about setting up a heirloom were spread, Li Hongyu has become more cautious than before.
Even when the limelight is at its peak, he never forgets to pay attention to his words and deeds, for fear of saying something wrong if he slips out of his mouth.
Of course, this was what his mother Su Liu told him in private.
However, being cautious does not prevent him from continuing to work.
At this time, Li Hongyu once again transformed into a contractor, taking over the construction work of the destroyed Prime Minister's Office in a sweeping manner.
At first, he was a little timid, but with Qi Xiao's careful guidance, his confidence began to expand.
This is not to say that Qi Xiao's persuasiveness is very strong, but that he directly produced a design drawing. Having the drawings gave him confidence, so he dared to agree.
Besides, there is another reason.
That is, he wanted to demonstrate his abilities in a more comprehensive way through the construction of this mansion.
Compared with the construction of simple and simple Gongyuan and the "Yuanyun Avenue" without much technical content, large mansions are more convincing.
So, is the design of this drawing reliable?
Qi Xiao laughed and said that this kind of construction can be found everywhere in Qiongzhou City. He had practiced it many years ago following the tradition of the workshop.
Also, if there is no real talent and practical knowledge, how can the extremely solid ‘Empire Building’ be built?
So, the matter was settled like this.
…
Let's talk about Yin Jun. He came to the palace again with the new task assigned by Yin Tao.
At this time, the sky was already hazy and bright stars were looming.
Under the cover of night, the majestic Dafeng Palace is brightly lit, as bright as day. It seems to be using its uniqueness to show the world that it is sacred and inviolable.
After entering the palace, Yin Jun first glanced at the Wenhua Palace, only to find that all the lights there were out and there was no minister in charge.
After that, he went to the first three halls, found the deacon and the young eunuch, and conveyed his wishes to the emperor.
Unexpectedly, the young eunuch replied to him: His Majesty the Emperor has left the palace to attend to business and has not returned yet.
The emperor has left the palace?
What happened?
"We heard from people that the residence of Liang Shoufu suddenly flooded today. After His Majesty was shocked to learn about it, he immediately rushed over to express his condolences. According to the rumor, many ministers also rushed over after the Queen."
"What? Liang Shoufu's house is on fire?"
Yin Jun muttered a few words to himself and shook his head regretfully.
Since it was an unlucky time, I had to come back another day to ask for a visit.
Just as he was about to leave, a gentle voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Lord Yin, can you please tell me a little bit about me?"
"Who are you?"
Take a closer look, who is it if it’s not Queen Su?
After confirming his identity, Yin Jun quickly bowed as a courtesy.
"I wonder what your Majesty's orders are when you summon the ministers?"
"Well... this is not the place to talk. I wonder if we can move to the inner palace, where we can chat while drinking tea."
"this……"
Yin Jun looked at the faint night sky, shook his head and said: "It is getting late today, and His Majesty is not in the palace, so it is not convenient for me to enter and stop. Therefore, please forgive me."
Su Liu was shocked when he heard this and showed an unexpected expression.
Although Yin Jun did not explicitly state the principle of great defense between men and women, he also implicitly expressed the basic etiquette of monarchs and ministers that should be upheld, so he declined politely.
This man is really decent!
Su Liu nodded and smiled, and then said: "Since Mr. Yin is so respectful, it's okay not to enter the harem! I wonder if we can go to the Wenhua Hall instead, where we can have a detailed discussion?"
Wenhua Hall is the capital hall where cabinet members work. It is bright and upright, and it is suitable for discussing matters.
Besides, there is no one in the Wenhua Hall today, so it is convenient to borrow it.
Yin Jun wanted to refuse again, but he couldn't find a suitable reason for the moment, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
So, the two of them arrived at the Wenhua Hall one after another.
The little eunuch serving on the side closed the door and went out after holding the lamp.
As a result, Queen Su and Yin Jun were the only two people left in the hall.
Although the Wenhua Palace was bright and upright, it could not bear the coexistence of a man and a woman alone. Even the upright Lord Yin could not help but feel constrained by embarrassment.
However, he still spoke first in a very generous manner: "I wonder what your Majesty wants to talk to Wei Chen?"
Su Liu smiled and said, "It's nothing else. I just want to make a deal with you, sir."
trade?
Hearing this, a strong feeling of conspiracy theory came to my mind.
Yin Jun suppressed the resentment in his heart and said cautiously: "How can a humble minister dare to make any transactions without knowing the way of business?"
The answer is wrong!
Pretending to be stupid!
Seeing that he was so dishonest, Su Liu had to take the initiative to show his cards and said: "My lord, please don't be too busy to refuse. Please listen to what I have to say. The deal I mentioned is actually a statement of position and a friendly negotiation."
The method should be mutually beneficial. All in all, there will never be any harm to the Yin family."
"In that case, please let me be honest." Yin Jun said, avoiding clichés.
Su Liu nodded, but started from another topic: "Master Yin's entry into the palace this time, is he trying to get some practical 'benefits' for your sister?"
Um?
You guessed it so accurately!
Upon hearing this question, Yin Jun immediately changed his previous view of Queen Su: This person is really not simple.
Seeing his noncommittal look, Su Liu knew that he had guessed correctly.
Moreover, she also took the initiative to explain the reason: "Yin Tao is my sister Jinlan, and I have some understanding of her temperament. She is independent, courageous, and will not give in to forces. Even though she seems to be very obedient at the moment.
Staying in the capital, in fact, she is thinking about ways to escape all the time. As long as she meets the right opportunity, she will maximize the benefits."
"And now, Your Majesty has ordered you, Lady Yin, to supervise the ship building. How can she be willing to sacrifice this skill in her hands? I can almost conclude that she will use it as a threat, and then pass you through your hands.
Come to seek benefits. My lord, tell me, is my guess correct or incorrect?"
Yin Jun's heart trembled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think highly of Queen Su again.
However, he still said calmly without changing his expression: "Your Majesty is really a sharp eye, and she can tell the truth in just one sentence. I admire her."
Su Liu nodded and said seriously: "To tell you the truth, I can do my best to satisfy the demands of your brothers and sisters, but..."
oh, I get it.
This is the deal in question.
Yin Jun weighed it briefly, and then asked: "I don't know, what is your request?"
Su Liu smiled lightly and said: "My condition is that you have to help my son Hongyu on the issue of establishing the crown prince, that's all."
About Li Chu?
Yin Jun couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and began to make silent calculations in his heart.
