Chapter 403
When Song Yi left the palace, he met Xie Peng under the Meridian Gate.

Xie Peng said: "Why is Mr. Ge's face so dark?"

Song Cheng got angry and told Yang Su that he was so ridiculous that he wanted to build a golden house.

Xie Peng said: "Then the money for the construction was allocated from the treasury?"

Thinking of this, Song Chengqi was a little smoother, and said: "That's not true. It is said that I saved some money when I was in the Jin Palace, and I guess it will be enough based on those belongings."

Xie Peng laughed and said, "If you don't move the treasury, why are you so angry?"

Song Cheng put his hand behind his back and sighed.Thinking about it, the emperor's private money, if he wants to use it for something, how can he not let it go?
But doesn't he think that that person is too embarrassing?

Before leaving, Xie Peng said with a smile: "The emperor knows it well, so you don't need to worry too much."

When the eunuch Chongxi came to Shen's house to convey Yang Su's greetings, Changying and Xiuxiu were enjoying the shade in the garden.

Xiuxiu is about to give birth, and her body is getting heavier day by day. Both Liang Feng and Wen Po have told her to move around more, but they can't go out. She went to the garden three times a day, and she almost counted the number of bricks used for the courtyard wall. up.

Chongxi told Changying about the welfare that Yang Su and Song Cheng had fought for, and Xiuxiu first cheered up: "This is really great, otherwise I would have been thinking that you have been free and unrestrained for so many years, and suddenly you have entered the palace and locked you up." , will it be boring?

"It's really hard for the emperor, it seems that I really think of you from the bottom of my heart, Ling Dang, you are really lucky."

Changying also felt happy, and praised Zixiang with great joy.

Chongxi smiled again and said: "There is one more thing, the emperor didn't let the little one tell, the little one shouldn't have said it.

"But I'm happy for the general in my heart, and I still can't help but want to say something more.

"The emperor not only mentioned to Elder Song Ge about relaxing the queen's freedom, but also told Elder Ge that he planned to build a golden house.

"I don't know what to do, but please ask the general to cover up for the little one when he turns around and speaks in front of the emperor, let alone the little one."

Changying immediately thought of some old things, and couldn't help but laugh.After thinking for a while, he asked him again: "What did Song Ge say?"

Chong Xi forced a smile: "Ge Lao's complexion is not very good."

Changying felt it was funny in her heart.Of course Song Cheng's complexion was not good, it would be strange if he could get better!

Yang Su had only been enthroned for a short time, and he was clamoring for this and that. Fortunately, Song Yi, who had been on his boat for a long time, was replaced by someone else, and there would have to be a few remonstrances following him.

After thinking about it, Changying entered the palace.

When Yang Su saw her coming, he seemed to see the sun, and his whole body lit up. "Changying, you are here."

Changying did not forget his duty as a courtier, stood upright and respectful under the curtain, and said: "I heard that the emperor has seen Song Ge is old?"

"See you, didn't you just ask Chongxi to tell you." Yang Su didn't take it seriously, and beckoned the eunuch to move his seat.

"Then what exactly did the emperor say to Elder Song Ge?"

Yang Su never covered up in front of her, he just opened his mouth and told everything, including the part about the golden house.

Changying said with a smile: "I think it's fine to build a golden house, and it's impossible to live in it if it's built. It's a waste of time and money."

Besides, it was just a joke at the time, if it was serious, how many more ridiculous things would you do in the future?

"But what I promised you, I should keep my promise."

Changying felt that if he stopped again, he might lose his interest.

He said: "Then I will accept the emperor's love first. But this 'one promise', maybe we can change it in another way."

"You said."

"Think about it, your majesty, we met in Tongzhou, and the ruined temple gave us shelter. Now that the emperor and I have a good result, why not use the money from building this golden house to build a temple in the local area?" How about visiting temples and worshiping Bodhisattvas to repay God's blessing?
"In this way, the world can also let the world know about our fate, and maybe it can bring some good influence."

When it comes to revealing his fate to the world, Yang Su is overjoyed.

"Very good, very good! But in this way, won't my promise to you be fulfilled?"

Changying smiled and said: "The emperor's love is deep and righteous, and it is a hundred times more valuable than a golden house. Besides, building a temple can benefit the people, which is more meaningful than just building a golden house.

"And," she paused at this point, and continued: "We can also make the temple bigger, and at the same time open a book school in the temple, so that the surrounding children can learn to read and write, and cultivate talents for the court.

"Tongzhou is an important route to Beijing, and every eve of the Spring Festival, this place can also be used as a place for candidates who go north to catch the exam.

"It is also a blessing for the common people that the emperor is sympathetic to scholars. This can not only show the emperor's love for his ministers, but also benefit the common people. Thanks to God, isn't it killing three birds with one stone?"

After hearing this, Yang Su felt completely at ease. He kept nodding his head, but said, "Then I'd better give you something, or I'll wrong you."

Changying thought for a while and said, "Although Xiuxiu is not married to Uncle Rong, she is still pregnant with Uncle Rong's child. Can the Emperor decide to give her a title?"

Yang Su couldn't help but get serious when he thought of Rong Yin.

He considered and said: "She is not married, so it is inconvenient to bestow a title in the name of a general. She is your elder sister, and you have become a queen, so you should take care of your family.

"Why don't I follow the example of the previous dynasty and designate her a 'Mrs. County'? I think the Rong family is also looking forward to the birth of this child. When I have an identity, I will take the initiative to talk to the Rong family and let the child recognize his ancestors and return to his family." .”

Changying didn't expect him to be so generous.

Originally, she thought that after entering the palace, only Xiuxiu would stay in Shen's house, she felt so lonely, although she would make arrangements, but after all, thinking about the situation between her and Rong Yin, she felt indebted.

Besides, after the child is born, if he doesn't have a serious name, it's probably not good for him to gossip outside.

Although the old man from the Rong family had mentioned the matter to her about the child, but now that it is not born, Rong Yin is in the way... So far, neither of them can come up with a good idea.Therefore, she had to prepare for the worst, if Xiuxiu couldn't get into the Rong family, then she had to make the child upright.

Xiuxiu was awarded the title of "Madam of the County". With the title, even if they did not become members of the Rong family, the two of them could live a decent life in Beijing.

"Then I will thank the emperor for Xiuxiu!"

She bowed happily.

Yang Su smiled and said, "It's good to be so happy when we worship heaven and earth."

……

After sending Changying away, Yang Su asked Qin Lu, who had been transferred to the Pedestrian Department, to discuss it, and then took out his belongings.

After the morning court the next day, he told Song Cheng and the officials present about changing the golden house into a temple and book school in Tongzhou, and gave instructions on the scope of site selection, funding and scale.

This handwriting is more respectable than "Golden House Cangjiao", so I don't know where it went.

Song Cheng was overjoyed: "The emperor is wise!"

Yang Su said: "It was suggested by the Queen."

The officials were in awe, and said one after another: "The empress is wise!"

Yang Su was happy in his heart, and his face was calm: "Then all lovers go to discuss the detailed rules. I will still pay the money myself. This is what I gave to the queen."

Song Cheng said: "Understood."
