Chapter 35 The Emperor takes the lead

Dawu Capital City,

As the sun gradually set, Lian Er hurried back to Rongguo Mansion and brought Master Jing's words to Jia Mu.

Jia's mother was silent after hearing this. She knew that Jia Jing did not agree to enter the palace, but agreed to the marriage, so she started with Wang Shihan as she thought.

Jia Mu asked Jia Lian to go down to rest, but she was thinking about how to let Wang Shihan come to Beijing.

Inside the palace,

Dai Quan, who had been procrastinating for so long, still didn't dare to make a decision. Emperor Wu was still in a good mood when he was watching the memorial in Yangxin Hall. The civil and military officials had already begun to fight each other, and there were also a lot of secret reports from the Imperial City Division.

Complaint.

Suddenly I thought of Zhang Jinyu in the Northeast and wondered what the war was like now.

"Dai Quan, is there any news from the Northeast? How is Pingyang County doing?"

Dai Quan was still thinking about the matter and didn't pay attention to it for a moment, so he didn't answer. Emperor Wu felt strange, thinking that the person was not there. When he looked up, he found Dai Quan standing there in a daze.

Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong also felt strange, what could make him stunned.

He walked over slowly and coughed hard. At this moment, Dai Quan woke up from a dream and was so frightened that he knelt down to apologize;

"This slave deserves to die. This slave was distracted just now. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Zhou Shihong felt even more strange. He even admitted that he was distracted. What could be so important?

"Get up and forgive your guilt!"

"Thank you for your grace."

"Tell me what you are thinking, I want to know."

"Back to Your Majesty, I was thinking about Marquis Luo Yun again. I didn't know how to tell Your Majesty, so I got distracted."

What does Zhou Shihong think about Luo Yunhou anymore? Something happened in Pingyang?

"Is there any news from Pingyang?"

"Back to Your Majesty, not yet. I should still be fighting against Huang Jitai. There is no news from the Imperial City Division."

"What's that?"

"Your Majesty, it's about Marquis Luo Yun's residence in the capital and the concubine he sent."

Only then did Zhou Shihong remember that this was what happened, and he almost forgot that those nobles were also keeping a close eye on him, so he asked about it when he thought of it;

"How did you arrange it? Logically speaking, such a simple thing has not been arranged yet?"

Dai Quan is also in a bit of a dilemma;

"Your Majesty, the better houses in this capital are all in the hands of aristocratic families and nobles. The imperial court is all ordinary houses, and it is difficult to reward them, so this old slave is in a bit of a dilemma."

Emperor Wu's expression turned ugly when he heard this. These moths, especially the four princes and eight princes, were deeply rooted.

"What else?"

When Dai Quan saw Emperor Wu's expression changing, he secretly complained in his heart.

"Your Majesty, there are also the concubines we arranged. Some of them don't want to go, and some want to go. It's very difficult to handle."

Zhou Shihong immediately thought whether the Supreme Emperor, Xungui or aristocratic families wanted to interfere in this matter.

"Who wants to interfere, and who doesn't want to go? Is it because Xungui doesn't want to go? There are people in Changle Palace who want to go!"

Dai Quan was shocked. The emperor knew it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty,"

"It's not my sage, it's obvious. These people are just like, who are you going to arrange to go to the Hou Mansion?"

When Dai Quan heard the emperor's question, he organized his speech;

"Back to the emperor, we were going to choose a female official, Yang Hanyu. After checking that she had no background, we chose her. The other servants didn't dare to arrange it."

Zhou Shihong looked at Dai Quan but said nothing. Dai Quan's back was sweating nervously.

"Okay, that's all she needs. You can arrange some palace maids and court ladies to marry her to make it more perfect. What are you going to do with that house?"

Dai Quan was relieved when he heard this, but thought about what he was going to say next, and his heart was raised again;

"Back to the emperor, I plan to change the former residence of Prince Zhongyi into the residence of Marquis Luoyun and give it to him directly."

When Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong heard the words "Prince Zhongyi", he was shaken all over. The former eldest brother, the original prince, this throne was originally his. Zhou Shihong couldn't calm down for a long time, that talented but full of hatred.

Brother, if he were the one in office now, what would he do?

Dai Quan saw that the emperor was silent for a long time and knew that he had spoken suddenly, but it was too late to regret.

Zhou Shihong thought a lot, but in the end he let out a long sigh. The knot in his heart was too heavy, and he still had to untie it. This time might not be an opportunity. The courtyard had been in ruins for many years, and he didn't know how dilapidated it was.

"Dai Quan,"

"The slave is here."

"Let's do that. Give him the house and let the people from the Ministry of Works personally repair it and make it beautiful."

"Your Majesty, I will personally arrange it."

"And we will send people to clean it up tonight and replace the plaques. You go and arrange the list and send the concubine and the palace maid there. Tomorrow, we will issue the imperial edict and go there in full swing."

"It's your Majesty. Is your Majesty too impatient?"

Dai Quan was a little surprised that he was in such a hurry.

"It has to be urgent. I want to see their reaction."

Dai Quan shrank his head and replied;

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements now. I will resign."

After Dai Quan knelt down, he hurriedly left the Yangxin Hall and arranged for the deputy steward Wang Gonggong to take people to Prince Zhongyi's Mansion to clean up the courtyard, while he went to the Changle Palace in the harem to find Eunuch Zhou.

Arriving at the harem, where the eunuchs of Changle Palace stayed, they knocked on the door of the steward's courtyard and went in directly.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Eunuch Zhou drinking tea there, seemingly waiting for him. Dai Quan said straight to the point;

"It seems that you have known about it for a long time?"

Eunuch Zhou didn’t talk nonsense either.

"It's not that I knew it a long time ago, but it's just that this matter is easy for you, and besides, I can't put it off for so many days."

Dai Quan took a deep look at Manager Zhou.

"I have arranged the people. We will go there tonight, and a large number of palace maids and officials will go with us."

Eunuch Zhou paused, put down the tea bowl and asked;

"Why, you're in such a hurry, why don't you go there now?"

"Yes, His Majesty said he would go tonight, and she will receive the order tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll arrange it. Where to send it?"

Dai Quan smiled strangely,

"Send it! It's okay. You can arrange it to the end and send the person to Prince Zhongyi's palace."

"Okay, let's give it away, give it away,,,, what?"

Eunuch Zhou was also shocked. What happened and how to send it there? Everyone knew what happened at that time. He was trying to trick me. He then asked with a gloomy face;

"What do you mean, the internal minister? Are you planning to trick me?"

"Huh, I'm still cheating on you. It's His Majesty's wish to change Prince Zhongyi's Mansion to Luoyun Marquis Mansion and give it to Zhang Jinyu."

"What? Impossible. There are so many courtyards in the capital."

"Yes, there are so many courtyards in the capital, but there is no good one for the imperial court."

"That's not possible, that's it."

Manager Zhou also knew that those nobles and aristocratic families were too greedy, so this was not something he could ask himself.

"I'll arrange the arrangements and send them over directly when I get back. Other miscellaneous families don't dare to ask."

Dai Quan saw that his goal had been achieved, so he stood up and left.

Eunuch Zhou watched Dai Quan leave with a dark and uncertain expression, knowing that this was the emperor's test and the harem was uneasy.

"Come here, inform Yang Hanyu and the maids and officials to pack their things and prepare to leave the palace."

"Yes, steward, I will go right away."

After Eunuch Zhou arranged everything, he went to Princess Zhen in person.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"
