Chapter 185 Honest People Will Fight Back!
This time, Emperor Chongning still received Xia Jingyun in the imperial study, as if he didn't want these courtiers to see too much of the rest of his life, so he always appeared in front of them with a posture that could stand the test.

"This matter is up to you. I can prepare everything you need, but I only have one request."

Xia Jingyun immediately said: "Your Majesty, please make it clear that I can also make a promise here. In the next four years, I will hand over to the internal treasury no less than 20 taels of silver every year, and the total amount of four years will not be less than 100 million taels of silver!"

Seeing that his somewhat difficult request was uttered by Xia Jingyun in another way, Emperor Chongning admired this young man even more, "My request is not to use the emperor's order to carry out apportionment, causing disasters to the local people and the people."

Xia Jingyun shouted with emotion, "Your Majesty's benevolence is greatly admired by my ministers. I will definitely follow your Majesty's teachings, and never create troubles and cause harm to the world."

"Okay." Emperor Chongning waved his hand like a Mingjun who doesn't like to listen to flattery, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Xia Jingyun whispered, and Emperor Chongning made some suggestions, and finally the two foxes, one big and one small, reached an agreement tacitly.

"Okay, I'll let Gao Yi go to announce the decree in the afternoon, you can just wait at ease."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Seeing the back of Xia Jingyun turning away, Emperor Chongning tapped his fingers on the table in turn, closed his eyes and meditated.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xuanhu is here."

Emperor Chongning nodded and looked at the head of the Black Ice Terrace who walked in.

"His Majesty."

"Xuanhu, let people keep an eye on the general supervisor Cao Deli. If he finds out that he has confided about the treasure mirror to anyone, or has any slander or complaints about it, he will find a reason and arrest him directly in the black ice platform."

"Yes!"

Thinking that the Wanbao Building's deficiency was filled so quickly, Emperor Chongning was very pleased, "Gao Yi, drive Changle Palace!"

Gao Yi reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you said in the morning that you are going to Zhaoyang Palace."

Emperor Chongning frowned, and thought of the intricate relationship behind Concubine Shu, "Forget it, Zhaoyang Palace is Zhaoyang Palace."

But it is doomed, this trip will not go according to Concubine Shu's wish.
-
On the other side, Cao Deli had already returned to the house.

The careful pet concubine found that today's husband seemed to be more than ten years younger all of a sudden.

This is not the effect of those goji berries and jujubes that she drinks every day. Although she has no skills, as an official concubine, she still listens to some words and knows a saying [Power is the best aphrodisiac for men].

Who is going to take this aphrodisiac? Needless to say!

Before he had time to experience the strength of the medicine, a decree from the palace called Cao Deli to serve as a prisoner.

Cao Deli was overjoyed when he heard the news, His Majesty made a move, it was really extraordinary, it seems that in just one or two hours, he has already got the secret recipe in his hand.

He walked briskly into the sedan chair and went to the general prison.

Unlike him, the rest of the prisoners who were about to be jailed all looked displeased.

It was obvious that the official seal had been suspended yesterday, and everyone celebrated the festival peacefully, but they were called back to work again, and everyone felt very angry.

Without daring to insult the royal family, Cao Deli's family members, who will be the chief supervisor, received cordial greetings from the subordinates collectively.

"What are you doing? I promised my daughter today that I would take her to the White Horse Temple to visit the temple fair, and I called us back again!"

"Who said it wasn't! I was shopping for New Year's goods with my wife, children and old mother today, and the housekeeper at home hurried to find me, so I had to plead guilty and leave. I can't imagine what I will be told when I go back!"

"The salary is not a few taels of silver, and there are too many broken things!"

Everyone chatted sentence by sentence, but Zhang Dazhi sat by himself, the worries in his heart couldn't be hidden on his face.

Brother Xia just went to the prison mansion to have a falling out with him last night, and now he made an exception to call everyone for a meeting, so it is basically obvious what happened!

Just as he was thinking about it, Cao Deli walked in, and a little bolder stepped forward and asked, "Superintendent, it's the Chinese New Year holiday, why did you call us back again!"

"Yeah, this year's festival is approaching, and there are a lot of things at home!"

Cao Deli also knew that public outrage was hard to offend, so he hurriedly said: "Everyone be careful, Your Majesty announced that I entered the palace this morning and said something. The gathering at this moment was arranged by His Majesty, and I don't know about it. I think I have something important to say!"

Zhang Dazhi's heart skipped a beat, Cao Deli entered the palace, he would definitely tell His Majesty about the precious mirror, it seems that the young master is definitely dead.

He was depressed here alone, but Cao Deli took the initiative to come over with a smug smile, "Zhang Shaojian, do you know why His Majesty called me?"

Zhang Dazhi didn't expect that Cao Deli would come to mock him face to face, so he could only smile coquettishly, "Your Majesty is unpredictable, and the chief supervisor has many ingenious schemes, how could the lower officials know about it."

"Oh?" Cao Deli smiled, "I originally wanted to give you and the person behind you a chance, but if you want to play dumb, there's nothing you can do."

Zhang Dazhi was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said: "Prince, please forgive me!"

Cao Deli smiled and said: "Yesterday he said June [-]th, I wonder if this number can be changed?"

Zhang Dazhi immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, "What the supervisor said is that you should be the six and four."

Cao Deli sneered, but did not speak.

Zhang Dazhi quickly countered the price again, "Qisan, Qisan, oh no, [-], [-] is better!"

Cao Deli said indifferently: "I asked him to take it out, but if he didn't take it out, what if His Majesty asked him to take it?"

Zhang Dazhi's heart moved, and he immediately said: "Jiuyi, I think Jiuyi is very good, everyone will like Jiuyi very much!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Looking at Zhang Dazhi's appearance, Cao Deli's heart was full of joy. He glanced at the servant in the palace who was walking in from the door, turned his head to look at Zhang Dazhi, with a calm expression on his face, he said coldly: "It's late!"

Only then did Zhang Dazhi realize that Cao Deli was only trying to humiliate him. He, who was often looked down upon by the generals and supervisors because of his background as a craftsman, blushed instantly under the mocking eyes of everyone around him.

"Gao Gonggong, why don't you come here in person, just send any eunuch to let me know."

Cao Deli, who was arrogant and proud in front of Zhang Dazhi, smiled enthusiastically and obsequiously in front of Gao Yi, like a good son.

Gao Yi shook his head with a smile, "Our family is a slave. Your Majesty has ordered who would dare to steal and play tricks!"

Cao Deli just wanted to nod in agreement, but he reacted immediately, and then he didn't know what to say, so he stood there silently for a while.

Gao Yi's face turned serious, and he raised his voice and shouted: "All the prison guards will listen to the order!"

"Your Majesty has ordered that all the glass workshops in Beijing and other prefectures, together with craftsmen, stewards, and glass inventories, will form a single department named Liuli Division, which will be managed by Zhang Dazhi, the young supervisor of the General Supervisor, and will be under the direct control of the Imperial Power, and will not be bound by the General Supervisor. After the New Year's Eve, the center will complete the relevant paperwork."

At first, Cao Deli was smiling all over his face, but when he heard Zhang Dazhi's name, his expression instantly became terrified. When he said that he would not be restrained by the general supervisor, he immediately lost his composure, "Eunuch Gao, did your Majesty make a mistake?"

"Bold!" Gao Yi's expression turned serious, "How dare you slander Your Majesty!"

Cao Deli quickly slapped himself heavily, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for making a slip of the tongue! Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

Looking at Cao Deli who couldn't speak clearly, Gao Yi snorted coldly, feeling contemptuous in his heart, compare your head with Mr. Xia!

He looked around, "Which one is Zhang Shaojian?"

Zhang Dazhi hurriedly came out, "I have seen Eunuch Gao."

A slight smile appeared on Gao Yi's face, "Zhang Shaojian took a step to speak."

Zhang Dazhi hesitated for a moment, "Grandpa Gao, please wait a moment, I will have a word with the superintendent."

Gao Yi nodded.

Zhang Dazhi walked in front of Cao Deli, lowered his voice, but not completely lowered his voice, "Superintendent, why don't I talk to the young master and ask him to advise His Majesty, and you are still in charge of this matter?"

Cao Deli raised his head abruptly, with a look of surprise on his face, "Young Supervisor Zhang, thank you! You are really my good young supervisor. Don't worry, I will definitely promote you. You can talk to your young master well. As long as he lets me take charge of this matter, I will definitely listen to him! June Fourth, June Fourth, oh no, July Three, Eighty Two! Eighty Two is fine!"

Zhang Dazhi looked at him playfully with a smile, and suddenly his expression turned cold, "It's late!"

Cao Deli was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale in an instant!
