The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 53 Xue Baoyun's Responsibility
"Your Highness, there is no need for this. If the palace and the palace are connected, if there is a fire, it may cause a catastrophe!" Guan Hetai was the first to speak out against it.

Zhou Chengping also immediately seconded the proposal, Zhao Yanxun realized at this moment that he had oversimplified the question.

The buildings in this era are all brick and wood structures, and there are no modern fire-fighting facilities today. Once a fire breaks out, it will be extremely difficult to control the fire.

If one is not good, the fire will burn the entire palace, so Zhao Yanxun will have nowhere to cry.

"Then what good ideas do you have?" Zhao Yanxun asked back.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Chengping said, "Your Highness, maybe you can renovate the garden!"

"What's the reason for this?" Zhao Yanxun was very puzzled, he didn't think this method was so good.

"No matter how beautiful the garden is, if a certain empress doesn't like it, the prince can rebuild it according to the empress's wishes!"

"Compared to the official palace, the renovation of the palace garden...may not attract too much attention!"

Zhao Yanxun was noncommittal, then looked at Guan Hetai and said, "Guan Changshi, what do you think?"

"But it's up to His Highness to decide!" Guan Hetai replied, neither objecting nor agreeing.

"Okay... that's it!" Zhao Yanxun said.

"Guan Changshi..."

"Chen is here!"

"This matter is extremely important, and you will be responsible for it yourself, and let the people in the Gongzheng Office handle it with all their strength!"

"Yes……"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun said again: "If there are not enough craftsmen in Gongzheng Institute, you can go to the city to recruit them!"

"Not only masons, but also artisans who smelt iron and dry salt, recruit as many as possible!"

"If the situation really gets out of hand, you must know how important these craftsmen are!"

To this, Zhou Chengping and Guan Hetai nodded, obviously agreeing with Zhao Yanxun's statement.

"Your Highness, it is not difficult to do this quietly by strengthening the gate of the wall..."

"But you said that if you want to connect the place where the members of the royal residence live with the royal residence, you must build a new wall. This is too eye-catching!"

After pondering for a while, Zhao Yanxun said: "Then this matter will be put on hold for now, and the materials will be prepared first, and if the situation changes, we can immediately build a new one!"

This is the safest way, Zhou and Guan didn't say anything more.

Although the end of the world has come, but when the current order is still operating normally, Zhao Yanxun has to take care of many things.

A feudal lord like him who has no real power must carefully handle his relationship with local officials, otherwise they will strictly restrict him in accordance with the etiquette and law, and Zhao Yanxun will only gain more than he loses.

"What else do you need?" Zhao Yanxun asked.

Seeing that these two people did not speak, Zhao Yanxun asked them to leave, and the affairs of the palace were handled by them.

Zhao Yanxun got up from the throne, stepped down from Majesty Dan and went to the back of the hall. Next, he also wanted to visit the palace.

On the other end, Xue Baoyun walked alone in the garden. The garden in the palace was bigger than he imagined.

Especially the lake in the center of the garden has brought the scenery to a higher level, even the Royal Garden is not comparable to this place.

"Your Majesty, why don't we also go to Peach Blossom Island in the middle of the lake?" the accompanying maid said with a smile.

At this moment, Huang Rongrong and Lin Jingyu had already walked on the corridor leading to the island in the middle of the lake, and the laughter and laughter reached Xue Baojun's ears.

"No rush, just wander around casually!" Xue Baoyun said casually.

Soon, I saw a maid walking quickly, it was the jade bamboo brought by Xue Baojun's family.

"Your Majesty..." Yu Zhu called out.

Xue Baojun took a look at Yuzhu, and said slightly dissatisfied: "Why did you take so long to get tea?"

Holding the tea tray, Yu Zhu hurriedly said: "Your servant is negligent, please punish me!"

Seeing Yu Zhu being trained, the maids beside her were secretly happy, thinking that their chance had come.

"Don't be an example!" Xue Baoyun said in a bad tone.

As soon as these words came out, all the accompanying maids and eunuchs felt their hearts sink, which clearly showed Xue Baoyun's majesty in the inner house.

"Everyone else is waiting here!" After saying this, Xue Baoyun walked directly to the pavilion beside him.

The pavilion was built by the lake. Under the sunlight, the sparkling lake surface is very beautiful.

Sitting in the gazebo, Xue Baojun looked at the scenery in the distance, and asked casually, "What did you hear?"

While pouring tea, Yuzhu whispered, "My lord and the two elders talked about the attitude of officials in Longyou!"

"My lord and the two chief historians both said that they want to cooperate with Longyou officials, but they couldn't think of a good way to build relationships with Longyou officials!"

The palace has power but no power, and basically has no contact with Longyou officials, so it is really difficult to establish a relationship.

I only heard Yuzhu go on to say: "Later, Guan Changshi said that officials can be bribed with money!"

Hearing this, Xue Baojun quickly asked: "What does the lord say?"

After thinking about it seriously, Yuzhu said: "My lord didn't say anything!"

Didn't say anything, so that's the intention?Xue Baoyun speculated in his heart.

"What else did the princes say later?"

"The prince also said that the gates of the palace's inner courtyard walls should be strengthened, and the residences of the palace's staff should be connected with the palace!" Yuzhu replied cautiously.

It is extremely dangerous to eavesdrop on the palace's discussions. If Zhao Yanxun finds out about it, he will have to take off his skin if he doesn't die.

So Yuzhu was extremely nervous at that time, and she might have misheard when she was nervous, so she had to think about it carefully at this moment.

"One piece together? The two elders agreed?" Xue Baoyun was a little surprised.

Yuzhu nodded, and then replied: "It seems to be to guard against monsters!"

monster?Although Xue Baoyun had never seen it with her own eyes, she already believed in the existence of such a thing.

Not to mention that Lin Jingyu and Huang Rongrong had seen it with their own eyes, the private discussions of the guards, and the swear words of the imperial physicians, Xue Baoyun had to believe it.

"The following two long historians said that the construction of the courtyard wall must be carried out in a low-key manner, but the purchase of masonry and wood cannot be hidden, so we need to find a cover for this matter!"

The palace had just been repaired, and Zhao Yanxun started to demolish it and build it indiscriminately. If the local officials knew about it, they would definitely be very dissatisfied.

So Xue Baojun quickly asked: "What idea did they come up with?"

"My lord said that we should burn the two main halls, so that we can use the reconstruction of the palace as a cover!"

Xue Baoyun's expression froze, secretly thinking that thanks to Zhao Yanxun, he could figure out what to do if the palace was burned down and the entire palace was burned down.

"What do the two elders say?" Xue Baoyun showed a worried look on his face, she was really afraid of Zhao Yanxun messing around.

"The two elders proposed to renovate the palace garden as a cover on the grounds that the girls don't like the style of the garden!"

Nodding his head, Xue Baoyun also felt that this method was appropriate.

"The lord must have agreed to this invitation!" Xue Baoyun said with a smile.

"Princess knows everything!" Yuzhu took advantage of the situation and handed the rainbow fart.

Xue Baojun looked at the lake, and saw that Huang Rongrong and Lin Jingyu had already arrived under the peach blossom tree on the island in the middle of the lake.

The peach blossoms are now in full bloom, which is a good time to watch them.
