The street that Gu Zhao and the emperor discussed was located in the slums of the capital. This place does not match the image of the capital at all. The houses are old and there are many dilapidated buildings. Maybe a heavy snowfall can collapse the houses. After the renovation, the image of the capital can also be improved. And improving the living environment of the poor living here may also bring new business opportunities.

The emperor was naturally happy. When the emperor would like to see the place under the emperor's feet, there is still a dirty and messy situation, he also wants to save face.

With the emperor's order, the strong support of Ge Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and the cooperation of Fengtian Fuyin, Gu Zhao's work was carried out very smoothly. He still recruited Master Zhao. The adults have been very happy to cooperate with each other. This is a very pragmatic official who does practical things.

Fengtian Mansion Yin is Gu Zhao's old acquaintance, and he is also the old Feng Yuanting, Mr. Feng. When Feng Yuanting received the order to meet Gu Zhao, he was also very emotional. Back then, he was the Fu Yin, and Gu Zhao was just a viscount who was born as a scholar. But a few years later, he still stayed in the position of Fu Yin. Gu Zhao changed his body. From a scholar all the way to a high school, he became a Tanhualang. Now he is the head of the sixth grade of the Ministry of Industry. If the errand is done this time, the official position will be sure. If he gets promoted, he might overtake him someday.

Although the mood is very complicated, there is a feeling that the waves behind are pushing the waves ahead, and the waves ahead are going to die on the beach, but when they see Gu Zhao, they are still very polite, there is no need to offend this promising lord, even if he is only a sixth-rank master, but He has more face than him in front of His Majesty. I didn't see that this matter was directly assigned by His Majesty. Can ordinary sixth-rank masters go directly to Tianting?

Gu Zhao did not expect that Fu Yin would still be Mr. Feng Yuanting, but acquaintances are easy to deal with. At least they had dealt with each other before, so they were familiar faces. Gu Zhao took out the planning map he made, and then marked out the areas that needed to be remodeled. Feng Yuanting Without further ado, he asked the servants under him to follow Gu Zhao's command, so everyone got busy in full swing.

The Ministry of Industry and Fengtian Mansion, represented by Gu Zhao, had carried out some publicity in advance. Not only did the residents not have the opportunity to live in a new house by paying their own money, but also gave them the opportunity to work and earn wages. Those who actively cooperated, those who were not picked were still beating their chests with regret.

The manpower is sufficient, and the appearance of the slums changes almost every day. At the same time, the cement workshops outside the city are also working at full capacity. Bags of cement are produced and transported to the construction site. Its magical effect often amazes the people on the construction site. , there is such a good thing.

Gu Zhao would go to the construction site every day to work with him, so most of the time he was dusty. Master Feng came here occasionally. After all, his yamen work was also very busy and trivial. When he first saw it on the construction site Feng Yuanting was extremely surprised when Gu Zhaoshi was working with other people. Who would have thought that Gu Zijue would be so unassuming and disregarded his own image at all.

But not only Gu Zhao is like this, Mr. Zhao is also similar to Gu Zhao, and his image is even worse. After all, Gu Zhao is a handsome young man, and Mr. Zhao, who is ashamed, is almost like a bad old man, not in that official uniform. Others still regard him as a worker or craftsman on the construction site.

Master Feng came over again this day, and brought Gu Zhao and the others refreshments to quench their thirst and satiate their stomachs. First, he expressed his admiration for the concrete road and concrete houses as before, and then sat with Gu Zhao who was drinking tea and eating snacks. Master Zhao chatted.

"You two, do you know how lively it is outside? Now this part of the capital is very quiet, right?"

Gu Zhao tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "Is it about the princess?"

Mr. Zhao was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter with the princess?"

Mr. Feng shook his head speechlessly. It seems that Gu Zhao knew about it. Mr. Zhao obviously didn't know about it: "That's right, it's about the princess. The princess has been pregnant for more than four months. Now people in the capital are talking about it."

Gu Zhaoxin was as expected, but Mr. Zhao was directly surprised: "The princess is pregnant? Has a child? This is a good thing."

Feng Yuanting secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, no wonder Mr. Zhao is still a fifth-rank official after working in the Ministry of Industry for all these years. Look, his acuity is too poor, but he also knows that Mr. Zhao is a person who works hard , The imperial court also needs this kind of person.

Gu Zhao said with a smile: "Naturally, it is a good thing. The princess's child is also His Majesty's grandson. Not only the people in the capital, but also the people in this big week will be happy for the princess and Your Majesty."

Feng Yuanting rolled his eyes secretly again in his heart, one was too dull and the other was too shrewd, whether it was a sarcasm or a sarcasm, but he echoed Gu Zhao: "Yes, Mr. Gu is right, the folks yearn for their descendants to be around their knees, Your Majesty is finally going to have his wish come true."

Gu Zhao nodded and said, "That's the reason. I think many people in the Great Zhou Dynasty were looking forward to the birth of the princess's child."

Feng Yuanting was taken aback by this, wondering whether Gu Zhao was sincere or had other meanings, and on the other side, Mr. Zhao felt that everything Gu Zhao said was right, and kept nodding in agreement. Mr. Feng didn't even bother to talk to him.

After Feng Yuanting left the construction site, he was about to go back to the yamen, but halfway through thinking about Gu Zhao's words, he temporarily changed his mind. He walked to the civilian area, wanting to hear what the civilians had to say about this matter.

The matter of the princess's pregnancy had already spread from the elite circles. Ordinary people knew that the princess was pregnant and was going to have a baby, so they talked about it with relish in their spare time.

"Your Majesty only has one child, the princess, and now the princess can finally let your majesty carry her grandchildren. It's really great."

"The princess is a good person. This time, I will be able to achieve my wishes and everything will go well."

"Yes, yes, I don't know whether the princess will give birth to a little prince or a little princess this time, but no matter which one is good, it is best to give birth to two at once, everything will be there, haha."

"Wrong, how could the princess' child be the little prince?"

"I don't care. The emperor only has the princess as a child. The child born to the princess is naturally the most honorable. Is there anything wrong with calling him the little prince or the little grandson?"

"Okay, okay, you're right."

Feng Yuanting was very surprised when he heard it. The people's thoughts on this matter were much simpler. Just like what Gu Zhao said, they were all looking forward to the birth of the princess's child, and this unborn child also had a high status in the hearts of the people. , are all placed in the position of the little prince or the little emperor's grandson, and this is precisely what some people are most worried about. If the child born is the little emperor's grandson, what about the three descendants?

Could this be His Majesty's real intention to let the princess participate in politics?In fact, what His Majesty wants to support is his own bloodline. To cultivate the princess' ability to handle political affairs is to help the little emperor in the future. The burden has to be borne by the little emperor's mother.

Mr. Feng thinks he has figured it out, but he understands that it doesn't mean that the three juniors will give up the fight, whether they can be in the top position, there is a huge difference between the two, and the ambition has grown, so how can they be willing to give in?

As Mr. Feng thought, no matter whether it was Yan Xiangjin or Yan Xiangxiao, Yan Xiangqi, none of the three were happy about this matter. Although they knew that it would be normal for a princess to have children after her wedding, but when this child When it really came, they all felt the crisis.

For the safety of this child, the princess didn't even go back to her princess mansion very often, and spent most of her time going back and forth between the household department and the palace, and even the son-in-law often stayed in the palace because of this. This kind of treatment has never been seen before.

The princess's food, drink, and clothing are all in charge of by a special person. After checking layer by layer, the surrounding area is protected airtightly. I still don't understand what this means?It was clear that it was to guard against the three of them, and it made the three of them itch. It would be better if the princess gave birth to a daughter. It is rare for a princess to come to this point, let alone her daughter.

But what if the baby is a boy?According to the importance His Majesty attaches to the princess, it might be possible for this child to take the surname of Yan, so what is the plan of the three of them to fight to the death?

Yan Xiangqi, who is not very good-tempered, smashed a hole in Chengjun Wang's mansion. Chengjun Wang couldn't understand why the emperor regarded a princess so important and gave her such an honor. It's so tight, it's not that he hasn't united with the clan to put pressure on the emperor, but the emperor is no longer the emperor when he first ascended the throne, he is in power, and the clan's words only make him take a few steps back, but he won't let the clan dictate foot.

"Qi'er, be safe and don't be impatient, we have come to this point, we must not mess with our heels first." King Cheng urged his son.

"What's the father's idea? When the son becomes a good thing, the father will be too emperor."

King Cheng of course hopes to see this day, what an exciting thing it will be, and Qi'er has always been the most filial to his father, unlike another child who hates himself: "Don't worry, women are the easiest to give birth to children. Unexpectedly, who said that the princess can give birth smoothly?"

Yan Xiangqi's eyes lit up: "That's right," and said cruelly, "It's best to kill two people, once and for all."

"Yes, not bad."

While discussing the princess's pregnancy in the capital, another eye-catching thing happened in the capital, that is, the second newspaper appeared, after the princess revealed that she was pregnant, and there was a lot of noise.

Compared with the Hanlin Academy’s efforts to reduce costs as much as possible for Song Liuyuan and others to run newspapers, the other party can’t wait to use money to pile up newspapers. Not only did they print tens of thousands of newspapers at a time, they also set up three times as many newspapers in the capital or even more. For more reporting points, I hired a special person to read the newspaper aloud, and the newspaper is free of charge.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the rich and powerful in the capital have seen such a heroic behavior. How much money is needed to sell this newspaper. Is it possible that the other party will continue to run at such a loss?Or do you want to dominate the streets of the city and start earning money after the Beijing News is suppressed?
