He raised his hand to mess up the chess game, and suddenly changed the subject: "Ming Ji, you have been with the princess for three or four months, how do you think Qin Yanghou treats the princess?"

Li Mingji asked back: "Your Majesty is asking, are you a Marquis or a father?"

The answer is self-evident.

Thinking of the past few days, Emperor Yong's eyes became colder.

At first, Princess Yongning chose Qin Yanghou because she thought he was simple-minded and easy to control.Therefore, after discovering that Qin Yanghou was not suitable to be a father, Emperor Yong immediately brought Shu Yao into the palace and raised him by his side.

Emperor Yong always felt that although Qin Yanghou was a bit stupid, but his temperament was cowardly, it was difficult to become a great weapon, and he could not pose a threat to the royal family, so it would be fine to keep him.If it hadn't been for the queen mother's sudden illness, Emperor Yong would not have thought that Qin Yanghou would do such shameless things as embezzlement of his daughter's shop.

Those five shops were left to Shu Yao by Princess Yongning, and they will be kept as Shu Yao's dowry in the future.How short of money is Qin Yanghou, that he didn't even let go of his daughter's dowry?
But Qin Yanghou learned to be clever this time.After Emperor Yong lost his temper in the study, Marquis Qin Yang knelt down in front of the hall, which caused all the officials to stop to defend Qin Yanghou.

Marquis Qin Yang is a loose official, usually in the Imperial Academy, he just copied books and wrote, how could he offend Emperor Yong?After thinking about it for a while, he knew that it was inseparable from Princess Huaxi.

The group of officials headed by the descendants of the aristocratic family had long been disgusted with Emperor Yong's partiality to Princess Huaxi, and accused him many times of disregarding etiquette and law, and asked him to send Princess Huaxi back to the Marquis of Qinyang, or simply to her own fief go.Now it is being discussed that Princess Huaxi is bewitched by her gossip, even her biological father will not be spared.

This group of children from aristocratic families have been married from generation to generation, and they are fighting together, but they don't even let go of a 15-year-old girl whose mother died early and has no father to rely on!
"The shopkeeper of one of the shops once borrowed a sum of money for the purchase of raw materials, and Qin Yanghou came to Yanshou Palace that day to collect debts from humble officials," Li Mingji said softly, "Your Majesty, there are more than a hundred people in Qin Yanghou's mansion. People are not as rich as real aristocratic families, and according to my humble position, Qin Yanghou must be short of money."

The original site of Qinyanghou's Mansion was the Princess Mansion of Princess Yongning.After Princess Yongning got married, Emperor Yong ordered people to double the size of the Princess Mansion, and granted Shu Jing the title of Marquis of Qin Yang.

When he first chose this place to build the Princess Mansion, Emperor Yong specially asked someone to survey Fengshui.Hou's Mansion and the Imperial Palace face each other, just like the imperial palace shelters the Hou's Mansion under its wings, so honored and favored, there is no other house in the entire capital.

Emperor Yong has rewarded the Hou Mansion with gold and silver treasures in recent years, which is enough for the Hou Mansion to live comfortably.The Hou Mansion has a fief and a shop. Under such circumstances, how can Qin Yanghou be short of money?

Emperor Yong felt absurd, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.He put away the suspicion in his heart, and took a light look at Li Mingji, "I will pay attention to this matter. What happened to the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

After Li Mingji finished speaking, he left the study.After a while, there was an extra wooden box in his hand. He opened the box and put the wooden box on the table, "Everything His Majesty wants is here."

It is a list of officials.

Since taking action against Xie's family in September, Emperor Yong has been committed to reforming the order of the court, and the first thing to do is the official position.Unexpectedly, the official department has been procrastinating for so long, and it has not been able to produce a list of officials.

After seeing this thick stack of papers, Emperor Yong finally understood why the Minister of the Ministry of Officials hesitated and hesitated in front of him.

The reason why Baiguanbiao is called "Hundred Officials" is that at the beginning of the founding of Yong Taizu, there were no more than a hundred officials.After that, in order to appease the founding heroes and the aristocratic families of the previous dynasty, the Taizu divided the feudal titles several times, and added many official positions inside and outside the court for the children of the aristocratic families to enter the official position. Now the number of officials in the court has increased tenfold!
This is only the central government, not counting local states and counties.Even if this is the case in the central government, it is conceivable that the situation in the localities will only get worse.

Ever since Emperor Yong got angry with the Xie family, he has been in a stalemate with these families.The aristocratic family was worried about losing their status. Although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to fight against Emperor Yong.Emperor Yong was also worried about the power of the family, and he would not rashly attack the family before the ripe time came.

not the right time yet.

Emperor Yong thought.

The second prince marched west with the army, and 40 forbidden troops garrisoned the Longyou Dufu.That is where Dayong's real military strength lies.

"How many people are followers of the aristocratic family, and how many people came from poor families," Emperor Yong closed the wooden box with cold eyes, "Let me continue to investigate."

……

On the second day, Emperor Yong issued an imperial decree.

The original Qinyanghou's Mansion was changed to Huaxi County Lord's Mansion, Qin Yanghou's family moved to the west of the city, and a new mansion was granted.

All the nobles in Manchuria were in an uproar.

Qin Yanghou's mansion was originally built on the former site of Yongning Princess, and Princess Huaxi was the daughter of Yongning Princess and Qin Yanghou, so no matter which sign was hung, it was their family who lived there.

However, the replacement of the plaque shows the emperor's attitude towards this family.

In the capital, the relatives of the emperor all lived in the north of the city, which was bestowed by the emperor, next to the palace; the aristocratic families lived in the east of the city, which was the most prosperous place in the capital and where they lived for generations.Only those new nobles and officials who have just moved to the capital and cannot afford houses in the east of the city will choose to settle in the west of the city.

Princess Huaxi is so favored, how could Qin Yanghou's family be driven to the west of the city?Are the scenes shown by Qin Yanghou all fake?

The officials who had flattered Qin Yanghou before all looked disheveled, only saying that they didn't know people clearly.If I had known that Qin Yanghou's mansion was just a show, I might as well find a way to marry Shu Yao.

Therefore, before Shu Yao moved to the princess mansion, the table was piled up with invitations.Some invited Shu Yao to their house for a banquet, and some asked Shu Yao when to hold a banquet at the princess's mansion, so that they could bring gifts to congratulate her on her housewarming.

"I heard that Qin Yanghou went to the Palace of Chengqian to see His Majesty at noon. His Majesty sent a message directly, saying that he was worried that he could not afford such a big house, so he changed him to a more suitable garden. Princess, you want money."

As Chunrui talked, she laughed out loud, "Princess, now everyone in the court knows that Marquis Qin Yang is in financial difficulties, and he can't even support his own Marquis."

Shu Yao was still immersed in the shock of receiving the imperial decree, when she heard Chunrui say this, she couldn't help but bend her eyes: Uncle is too hurt!
Earlier, when my uncle wanted to build a beautiful princess mansion for her, he was opposed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, saying that it was a waste of money from the treasury.Now it's all right, just change Qinyanghou's mansion into the county lord's mansion directly, in the name of being good to Qinyanghou, and the Ministry of Households can't stop it.

In addition to changing the name of the Marquis of Qinyang's Mansion, Emperor Yong assigned dozens of skilled craftsmen to Shu Yao, letting her transform the Princess Mansion according to her own wishes.The mansion is so big, Shu Yao thought, she can also prepare a separate yard for Li Mingji, and only she can see him practicing martial arts in the future.

Yay, it seems that you are greedy~
