Chapter 349 Honest and Reliable Xiao Langjun

Zhang Jingming looked puzzled: "Prince Xing, I don't know that the so-called glazed beads in the capital's letter are rare glazed beads in the past? How did the palace get it?"

He obviously didn't know the details of the marbles presented by the palace, and he didn't know that the marbles came from Zhu Hao.

Maybe everyone in the palace didn't take those one hundred marbles seriously. After Zhang Jingming came back for more than a month, no one mentioned this kind of thing to him.

It shows that even if Zhang Jingming returns, he has not obtained the corresponding authority.

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Zhang Changshi, it's like this. The glass beads were made by Zhu Hao, the child who served as the companion of the prince. He is very knowledgeable and often makes some strange and ingenious things. It is said that these marbles ...Casually, he can make as many as he wants, usually for the prince and a few children to play with..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zuo couldn't laugh anymore.

The thing that was used as a plaything in the palace suddenly became a rare treasure recognized by the emperor. If this news got out, regardless of whether the emperor was angry or not, what would others think?
Xingwang Mansion used children's toys as tributes, but ended up fooling the emperor, and then used them as treasures... What is your intention in Xingwangfu?
Is this making fun of the royal family?

Those people who are already extremely hostile to Xing Wangfu, such as Empress Dowager Zhang, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and other courtiers, still don't make a big fuss about this matter?

Yuan Zonggao hastily suggested: "This matter should not be publicized, and Zhu Hao cannot be allowed to make colored glaze beads again. Unless the imperial court has a decree, otherwise...the colored glaze beads can only exist as tributes and cannot be circulated among the people."

Zhu Youzhu nodded: "This king has exactly the intention."

The words are very cautious, which means that I came to you to tell you this matter.

Even if you know the inside story of Liulizhu, you will rot in my stomach.

Zhang Jingming spoke bluntly, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "The things that children play with can become treasures cherished by people in the palace? How can there be such a bizarre thing in the world?"

Zhang Zuo said: "Zhang Changshi, you have never seen that glazed bead. It is indeed crystal clear, but its core is colorful. It is not slippery in the hand, and it complements each other. I just don't know how Zhu Hao made it... But, Even if it really becomes a treasure, as long as there are more folks, it will not be rare."

Zhu Youzhu nodded, and looked at Tang Yin: "Mr. Tang, please go and inform Zhu Hao, and tell him not to make glazed beads again unless he is ordered by the emperor, and don't use them for the prince to play with."

Tang Yin cupped his hands: "Take orders."

Yuan Zonggao suddenly said: "I just don't know whether this thing has been introduced to the people in the past...or whether others can make it?"

These words were obviously aimed at Zhu Hao.

How can you be held accountable for what happened in the past?

Although Zhu Hao is a talent cultivated by the palace, he is only limited to studying in the palace, and his business is not under the influence of the palace. If Zhu Hao has made a large number of them in the past, or now he knows that this thing is valuable, he builds it behind the back of the palace. Knowing that, the most you can do is drive him out of the palace. Could it be that you have to do something else?
Tang Yin said solemnly: "Even if there are colored glaze beads circulated among the people and spread to the ears of the people in the palace, it can only be regarded as an imitation...Since ancient times, rarity is the most precious thing. If there are many spreads among the people, the value of colored glaze beads will drop. Responsibility It will not and should not fall on Prince Xing's Mansion."

Everyone present was incredible.

When did Tang Yin dare to confront Yuan Zonggao directly?
This tit-for-tat look, the heart of protecting Zhu Hao is very strong!

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Zhang Zuo didn't like it, so he hurriedly made peace: "My lord, from the point of view of this old slave, Zhu Hao is a good boy who knows how to advance and retreat, and has a sense of proportion. He has studied and is about to achieve fame. It should be clear what is right and wrong. He When presenting glazed beads as tributes to Xingwangfu, one should think of this festival, and will not let the colored glazed beads spread among the people and affect the reputation of Xingwangfu.”

It seems to be mediating, but it is actually speaking for Tang Yin and Zhu Hao.

This is also a matter of no choice.

In the past, Zhang Zuo and Yuan Zonggao fought back and forth, but now Yuan Zonggao has two more helpers, Zhang Jingming and Chu Yu. If he doesn't win over Tang Yin and Zhu Hao, it will be a long time before the Chengfeng Department of the Wangfu is replaced by the Shisi of the Wangfu. Repression is not far away.

Zhu Youzhao said with a smile: "Zhu Haojing didn't take any money when he presented the glazed beads. This time, I just need to explain the situation to him, and I believe that he has his own sense of propriety. As long as you don't spread the matter for the time being... Wait a year and a half, and the wind will be heard." In the past, if there were glazed beads among the people at that time, it had nothing to do with Xing Wangfu."

For now, he agrees with what Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin said.

The glazed beads sent by the palace are indeed rare items at present, and even the emperor can use them as treasures, so it is not enough to explain their value?
Looking back, the folks have glazed beads, so it can only be said that the Xing Wangfu first discovered this thing, and then it slowly spread... The court can't blame the Xingwangfu for deliberately manufacturing worthless glazed beads as tributes, right?

……

……

When Tang Yin went to the cafeteria of the west courtyard to find Zhu Hao, he found that he was eating with Gongsun Yi.

Usually Gongsun Yi seldom enters the palace, and occasionally he comes to the school dormitory, but today he ran to the guard cafeteria of the West Court, obviously to have a meal... Aside from the meal, when Tang Yin entered the door, he heard Gongsun Yi constantly asking Zhu Hao Something, just when he approached, Gongsun Yi shut up in time.

"Mr. Tang, I'm discussing knowledge with Zhu Hao."

After Gongsunyi saluted, he explained with a smile.

Tang Yin thought to himself, you are not discussing knowledge, but you are seeking advice wholeheartedly, right?

He glanced at the dishes on the table, and the ones in front of Gongsunyi were all empty, which showed that the other party was very thorough... At least there was no food wasted.

"It's almost time, I should go back...Mr. Tang, Mr. Zhu Xiao, let's discuss when we have time." Gongsunyi ate and drank enough, and walked away rubbing his swollen belly.

Tang Yin turned his head to see Gongsunyi's back disappearing at the entrance of the cafeteria, and shook his head: "It's only been a few days since he came back, you can see that his face is getting fatter."

"Haha."

Zhu Hao was overjoyed when he heard the words.

Tang Yin saw this point very accurately. Maybe it was because after Gongsun Yi passed the examination, more and more people invited him to a banquet, and the living conditions at home were further improved. Knowing that he is a Juren, the meals provided are the best.

It's only been a month since I came back, and my figure has obviously gained weight, and my face has begun to swell.

"Zhu Hao, I came to you to tell you that the tribute you gave to the palace, that is, those one hundred colored glaze beads, don't make them in the future... I heard that His Majesty regards them as treasures. If the value is devalued, it may attract criticism from the world to Xingwangfu."

When Tang Yin came up, he opened the skylight and spoke honestly.

Zhu Hao nodded.

Tang Yin sighed: "I know these words, I don't tell you, you know it in your heart, just remind me as usual."

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "The news from the palace is relatively late. In fact, I received relevant information two days ago."

"Two days ago? Is there anything faster than Guanyi Chuanyi?"

Tang Yin's face was full of doubts.

"It's Dongzhu Su... I don't know where he got the news that the glazed beads will become precious jewelry, and that it is hard to find one in the capital now. He knows that I can mass-produce this thing, so he sent it overnight. Someone let me know and see if I can make him a batch."

Zhu Hao explained the situation.

Tang Yin was speechless: "Su Dongzhu has an extraordinary business mind. You must not make it for him."

Zhu Hao curled his lips and continued to eat his noodles with fried sauce: "Why don't you make money if you have money? Forget it, forget it, since the palace has specially explained it, then I will release Su Dongzhu's pigeons this time."

"You ah you..."

Tang Yin didn't know what to say.

"By the way, Mr. Tang, even if I restrain myself, I'm afraid of the next step... After the Zhu family gets the news, they will immediately organize people to imitate it. You must know that the local colored glaze business in Anlu is basically monopolized by the Zhu family. My That small workshop is only doing a little business involving glazed mirrors." Zhu Hao said with a smile.

Tang Yin frowned: "You mean, the Zhu family can also make glazed beads?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I don't know, but the material is glass. It shouldn't be difficult to imitate a bead. Even if it's not very round, it's still a glass bead... After the Zhu family took away our glass workshop, there was no chance to make a fortune from it. Who can guarantee that they will not make a profit from it?"

"Zhu Family Made..."

Tang Yin pondered the pros and cons behind it.

After all, Tang Yin felt that there was no need to restrict those who made glazed beads from the very beginning. In his opinion, the rumors among the people are not a hindrance to their being a tribute.

Zhu Hao grinned and said, "If it was built by the Zhu family, the palace would buy a batch after learning about it and send it to the palace as a tribute... The palace has no malicious intentions, and the Zhu family can make money, isn't it good?"

"Um!?"

Tang Yin frowned, and asked: "You... provide the glazed beads to the palace just to make the Zhu family profitable?"

From Tang Yin's point of view, this is not Zhu Hao's behavior style.

Zhu Hao is the kind of person who wants to cheat the Zhu family at any time, wishing he could empty out the Zhu family's fortune. At this time, he will hand over the benefits to the Zhu family?
Even if Tang Yin didn't know the reason, but with his consistent understanding of Zhu Hao, he instinctively noticed that there seemed to be some conspiracy behind it.

Zhu Hao said: "Look at what you said, sir. I am originally from the Zhu family. The Zhu family gave me life. How can I not repay the benefits? The warehouse at Zhu's ferry was flooded before, and the loss was heavy. I tried to help them Earning some money to make up for the deficit is also the duty of being a descendant of the Zhu family..."

"Alright, alright!"

Tang Yin couldn't listen anymore, pointed at Zhu Hao and said, "Just tell me, the Zhu family can really imitate colored glaze beads, right?"

"maybe."

Zhu Hao didn't come to a conclusion.

"Then what conspiracy do you have? Tell me, I think the Zhu family may be troubled by you..."

Tang Yin said bluntly, "Based on what I know about you, it is very likely that when you presented the glazed beads as a tribute to Prince Xing's Mansion, you designed everything in front of you."

The sound of bumping into the sky sounded!

"Wow! Mr. Tang, are you kidding me? How could I have expected that the glazed beads would be appreciated by His Majesty? This thing was originally just an ordinary gadget, and it was used to relieve the boredom of the prince.

"We have to calculate whether this thing can be a tribute, and also calculate whether the people have a demand for it. The Zhu family can imitate it to make a profit, unless I have the ability to predict... But the question is, what can I get from it if the Zhu family sells it at a high price? Benefits? I'm an honest and reliable young man, you can't wrong me!"

Zhu Hao had an aggrieved look on his face, as if he had been wronged.
