The next day, Li Mingde received his petition and official uniform, and officially took up the post of East Palace Zhanshi. Li Mingde attached great importance to this opportunity. When he first took office, he directly proposed to Zuo Qiuzheng to add assistants.
Qiu Zheng also agreed, and Li Mingde directly asked for ten assistants. They would conduct a large number of quantitative analysis in the room every day. After another ten days, Li Mingde once proposed to Zuo Qiu Zheng that he wanted to meet with all the properties in the East Palace.
The manager, Zuo Qiu Zheng, also agreed once and for all. He arranged for those people to come to meet Li Mingde in batches. In this way, Li Mingde spent a month at a time meeting with all the managers of Donggong Industry.
But this is not over yet. Then Li Mingde once proposed that he should go to all the properties in Donggong for on-the-spot inspections. Zuoqiu agreed once and for all. Then Li Mingde began to conduct on-the-spot inspections on all the properties in Donggong. This time, he
It took a full two months, that is to say, it took him more than three months from the time he took office to the end of his consideration. In these more than three months, he did not do anything.
Zuo Qiuzheng did not put forward his opinions, nor did he make any adjustments to the East Palace's property. This was completely different from the report he had written before. This also made some officials in the East Palace raise concerns about Li Mingde's ability.
There was some suspicion, but Zuoqiu Zhengdao didn't say anything. He was also waiting. He wanted to see what Li Mingde wanted to do.
After Li Mingde's examination, he returned to the East Palace, and then began to write the memorial behind closed doors. Five days later, Li Mingde asked to see Zuo Qiuzheng. He got a thick memorial in his hand, and Zuo Qiuzheng listened.
He said that Li Mingde was here, so he asked Li Mingde to enter his study. After Li Mingde entered his study, he saluted Zuo Qiuzheng. Zuo Qiuzheng nodded, and then said with a smile: "I love you, please be free.
How did your exam go this time? Did it go well?" After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Mingde with some interest.
Li Mingde now looks much thinner than before. When Li Mingde heard what Zuo Qiu Zheng said, he immediately raised his hands on the memorial and said to Zuo Qiu Zheng: "Your Highness, this is the memorial written by me. Your Highness can take a look at it."
Know." When he said this, his face was a little solemn, and as soon as Zuo Qiu Zheng saw Li Mingde's appearance, he couldn't help but become curious, and Fu Sheng had already taken the memorial and put it in Zuo Qiu Zheng's hand.
In front of him, Zuo Qiu was picking up the memorial and looking at it, and at the same time he said: "Fu Sheng, move a chair for Li Aiqing." Fu Sheng moved a chair for Li Mingde, and after Li Mingde thanked him, he sat down directly.
.
When Zuoqiu Zheng first read the memorial, he just looked at it, but the more he looked at it, the more serious he became. When he was halfway through, his face became serious, and when he was halfway through, his face was already pale.
Ashen, after he finished reading, he slapped the memorial on the table with a bang, then looked at Li Mingde and said: "Li Aiqing, are the things in this memorial true?"
Li Mingde nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. I specifically asked for an inspection before, but I made arrangements in advance. This time the inspection was actually divided into three groups of people. The first group was those who were not here.
Before leaving, I first went to various industries to conduct secret investigations. The second group was Chen. The third group was after Chen left, and they were investigating various industries. This time, the people sent by Chen were all from the East Palace.
His Highness can ask them at any time. You don’t know until you look at it. After seeing it, I was really shocked. According to my estimate, at least one-third of the income from the properties in the East Palace is managed by various management companies.
Many people were wiped out by corruption, and there were also some people who used His Highness's name to rob and rob in various places, ruining His Highness's reputation. But in the end, the business stolen from them was transferred to their own names, and His Highness's back was on his back.
Despite being stigmatized, no benefits have been gained. There are some property managers whose lives are even more luxurious than His Highness’s. I think it’s time for a re-adjustment of His Highness’s property. This is why I
The reason why no changes have been made for such a long time is because I don’t know much about various industries. I only understand the situation of various industries through data, but I don’t understand the specific situation. Without understanding,
, I will not make random ideas. Now I have basically understood the situation of various industries, so I wrote this memorial. I ask your highness for permission to conduct a major cleansing of all the industries under the control of the East Palace.
In this way, the property of the East Palace can truly become the property of His Highness, and I have calculated that if this purge is successful, the things copied from those people's homes can be enough to equal the income of the East Palace for a year.
Already."
"How daring, how daring. They dared to steal even Gu Gu's money. Who gave them such boldness? They must be severely punished. Fu Sheng, this time you will personally come forward and cooperate with Li Aiqing to control all the properties under Dong Gong's control.
After a combing, no matter who they are or what their status is, as long as they dare to embezzle money from me, I will arrest them all. I want to see how courageous they are to do this.
Do you understand?" After Zuo Qiuzheng finished speaking, he turned to look at Fu Sheng.
When Fu Sheng heard what Zuo Qiu Zheng said, he did not accept the order immediately, but said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, among the managers of various industries, some are family members of the Crown Princess, and some are members of the East Palace.
Does His Highness really want to deal with all the people recommended by the officials? Do you want to discuss it with all the adults? Is it also necessary to discuss it with the Crown Princess?" After Fu Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Zuo Qiuzheng, he was
I am reminding Zuo Qiuzheng that none of the people who manage the industry have no background. If they are all dealt with, it will be very troublesome. Otherwise, it will cause chaos in the East Palace. If that is really the case,
That would be really troublesome.
When Zuoqiu Zheng heard what Fu Sheng said, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then his face turned purple visibly. When Fu Sheng saw his appearance, he immediately knelt down with a plop. This was the first time he met Zuo Qiu Zheng.
Li Mingde didn't know what to do about this kind of thing, so he could only kneel down. Zuo Qiuzheng raised his hand and smashed the table in front of him into pieces with a slap. Then he gasped for a few times.
After speaking harshly, he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "You two, get up, Fu Sheng, clear the table, and go and call Jia Yu and the others in. Li Aiqing, just stay here."
The two of them agreed and then stood up. Then Fusheng immediately arranged for someone to clean up the room and sent a new table to the room. After everything was cleaned up, Fusheng went to notify the others, and soon
Jia Yu and the others all came to Zuo Qiuzheng's study, including Dewey of course.
Dewey and others who knew Zuo Qiuzheng, as soon as they entered the study, saw the newly replaced table in the study, they were all stunned. When they saw Zuo Qiu Zheng's face, they all knew that Zuo Qiu Zheng must be
They were angry, and very angry. Their expressions all changed. Dewey even glanced at Li Mingde. Li Mingde winked at him. His eyes finally fell on the memorial on the table. Now Li Mingde
He really regretted it. He should have discussed the contents of this memorial with Dewey, but because he wanted to get Zuo Qiuzheng's approval so much, he sent it directly to Zuo Qiuzheng after writing the memorial.
, did not show it to Dewey, which resulted in this situation. If there is a next time, he will definitely not do this again. He did not expect that the water in the East Palace is so deep, and that the managers of those industries all have backends.
of.
Zuo Qiuzheng also glanced at Jia Yu and the others at this time, and then he said: "In this period of time, I asked Li Aiqing to go to various industries to conduct inspections. I think you all know about this matter, but you don't know
Yes, Gu made other arrangements. There must be three groups of people going to examine this time, and Li Aiqing is just one of them. Before he went, a group of people had already gone to examine, and after he left, there were others.
After an examination, the final result was really unexpected by Gu Gu. Finally, the three parties compiled a summary, and Gu asked Li Aiqing to write a booklet for Gu. Li Aiqing, do you have the electronic version of this booklet?"
Li Mingde quickly said: "Yes, Your Highness, I have the electronic version here." Zuo Qiuzheng nodded and said: "Okay, give it to everyone." Li Mingde responded, and then he distributed the electronic version of the memorial to everyone.
, everyone immediately looked at it carefully. After they finished reading the memorial, their faces all became very ugly. At the same time, they also knew why Zuoqiu Zheng was angry.
Jia Yu and the others all knelt down, and Jia Yu even said: "Your Highness, these ministers are ignorant of others, please punish them."
Zuoqiu was standing there motionless. Jia Yu and the others were all kneeling there, with cold sweat on their faces. They really didn't expect that the situation in those industries would be so serious. It's not surprising.
Zuo Qiu was angry.
Zuoqiu was looking at Jia Yu and the others. After a while, he finally said: "I don't blame you, I understand your loyalty to Gu. You all should start your own business." Everyone responded, and then he all
They stood up, but all of them lowered their heads.
Zuo Qiu Zheng sighed softly, and then said: "Those people were all very capable people at the beginning. I didn't expect that once they started to manage those industries, they would become like this. This matter
It's also Gu's fault. It's Gu who didn't think of supervising them and gave them a chance. Anyway, let's spare their lives this time. After you go back, write to them and ask them to give them the money they have been greedy for all these years.
Spit them all out to Gu, and Gu will spare their lives. If anyone dares to speak harshly, it will be Gu's fault. Gu's knife can also kill people, so go ahead." Everyone agreed and then withdrew.
Of course, Li Mingde also came out with everyone in Zuo Qiuzheng's study. When they arrived outside, they all let out a sigh of relief. Jia Yu and the others all turned to look at Li Mingde. When Li Mingde saw the look in Jia Yu's eyes, he
He clasped his fists at Jia Yu and the others, then smiled bitterly and said: "My lords, I really don't blame you for this matter. First, I really don't know the background of those people. Second, these things are really not mine.
You can find out, you adults should understand what I mean, right?" Li Mingde understood that this time, he had offended Jia Yu and the others, which was very detrimental to his future development. ()
