Chapter 418 Rebuilding the Imperial Academy

House searching is a very troublesome but very happy thing, especially the Duke's Mansion where Jia Xiuyu was raiding, which made all the imperial guards who came to search the house happy. The joy was so great that they could not even compare to the New Year...

Li Zhenglong was surprised to see the boxes of jewelry being carried out one by one. These jewelry were too many. Even if Jia Xiuyu was a wealthy family and had been rich for several generations, he might have accumulated so many treasures, which was really exaggerated. He must have embezzled and accepted bribes!

At this time, Li Zhenglong could not even say anything to comfort Jia Xiuyu. As more and more jewelry was found, he had to look at Yang Ze. If he really registered all the jewelry and sent it to Queen Dugu to show, then Queen Dugu would probably be angry and would have to re-criminal Jia Xiuyu and punished the house after the punishment of raiding the house, he would have to add the word "destroy".

Tan Zhengwen looked around and whispered: "Master, there are too many things I copied out. The little prince is looking at you. Maybe he wants you to think of a solution for him, otherwise he will not be able to protect General Jia!"

Yang Ze yelled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't go to copy our house, otherwise I would have copied more!"

He got a large amount of gold from Tuluhun and brought it back to the capital to bribe ministers. He has not started bribery yet. If he went to copy his residence in Wannian County at this time, Li Zhenglong would have to faint and think that Yang Ze was the most corrupt official in the Dafang Empire.

Yang Ze walked to Li Zhenglong and said, "Little Prince, there are probably too many jewelry, but the emperor has ordered us to clear the Jia family's property. If we do not report it secretly, it will be inappropriate!"

Li Zhenglong had the intention to make a fortune, so he asked the imperial guards to divide these jewelry and several large boxes, probably might have blocked others' mouths. But after Yang Ze said this, he hurriedly said: "Then, what should I do? Jia Xiuyu must keep it..."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence. If he couldn't keep it, it would probably be very troublesome. He couldn't guarantee that Jia Xiuyu wouldn't bite people randomly before losing his head!

Yang Ze said: "This is easy. Just say that Jia Xiuyu knew that his son was unpromising, so he started selling land from other places and wanted to find a civil servant for his son. He wanted to bribe the examiner through connections and let his son take the imperial examination and pass the imperial examination. Therefore, there are a lot of jewelry and wealth in the family, so I ask the emperor, can these jewelry and wealth be used to cultivate the Imperial College?"

Li Zhenglong didn't understand Yang Ze's words. Don't talk about whether Jia Xiuyu's son is promising or whether he is qualified to be a civil servant. Even if he is promising, he should sell his land, which requires a document contract. You can find it out by just one investigation. If Queen Dugu insists on investigating it, wouldn't that be bad? It's easy to find out that they were lying. If they were condemned by Queen Dugu for Jia Xiuyu, it would be worth it!

But he didn't understand it for only a moment. Then Li Zhenglong understood what Yang Ze said, and was very happy. If it was just sent to the account book for the house search. Even if the Queen Dugu was not in the mood to care about it, the civil servants in the court would be furious and insisted on pursuing Jia Xiuyu. But if these jewelry were used to repair the Imperial College, then no ministers would ask for pursuing the Imperial College. The civil servants were very united, and they were very concerned about cultivating the Imperial College and promoting the younger generations. In fact, Yang Ze's idea not only could prevent Jia Xiuyu from being investigated, but also please a group of civil servants. It was really a matter of killing two birds with one stone!

Li Zhenglong showed joy on his face and said, "This idea is really wonderful. Brother Yang, only you can think of it. If I were replaced by me, I would never think of the Imperial College."

He immediately called Jia Xiuyu over and said, "General Jia... Well, Brother Jia, that's the case, these jewelry..." He no longer planned to call Jia Xiuyu the general.

Jia Xiuyu had no idea at this time, as long as he could save his life, he hurriedly said, "Prince, please hide it for a while for the villain, otherwise the emperor..."

He didn't plan to claim to be the last one anymore. Seeing so many jewelry in his house being copied out, he just wanted to cover it up. Even if the imperial guards who were confiscated were divided, it would be better than placing them in the account!

Li Zhenglong said: "These things must be included in the account. There are so many people here that it is almost impossible to cover them up!" After a pause, seeing that Jia Xiuyu's expression was about to cry, he said: "But I have thought of a way for you. Not only can the ministers in the court keep silent, but they can also make a good relationship for you. Maybe they can be taken care of by the ministers in the future..."

He said Yang Ze's idea, and Jia Xiuyu said with a whisper. He never thought about the Imperial College, but he didn't know where the Imperial College is. It was a reserve base for civil servants. A considerable number of students from Imperial College will become civil servants in the future. Although they are not as good as civil servants from Jinshi, they cannot withstand many people. This is a force that cannot be ignored!

Jia Xiuyu nodded repeatedly and thanked Li Zhenglong for a great thanks. Although he knew that this favor was counted on Li Zhenglong, even if the civil servants wanted to thank him, they would only thank Li Zhenglong, but they would not make things difficult for him anymore. This is the fact that at this moment, he could only ask for anything else!

Li Zhenglong was satisfied. He felt that Yang Ze was thinking too much about him. He was such an excellent strategist. He was even thinking about whether he could bring Yang Ze into his camp through this matter and prevent Yang Ze from serving Li Yan anymore!

The house was confiscated until the evening, but the final result was not found. Li Zhenglong couldn't wait. He asked his subordinates to build a preliminary account book and he was about to enter the palace with him. However, Yang Ze stopped him and asked him to go to the Secretariat first to study with the prime ministers to see what the prime ministers meant. He would take care of the Duke's Mansion first. If the prime ministers agreed, then it would not be too late for Li Zhenglong to enter the palace with the account book tomorrow!

This was a great deal of favor. Li Zhenglong agreed and immediately took the account book to meet the prime ministers. There were several prime ministers in the Secretariat. He wanted to meet and talk one by one, so that several big bosses in the court would praise him one by one. He believed that through this matter, he would soon gain a group of new followers, his power would increase greatly, and he would no longer be weaker than the eldest princess.

When Li Zhenglong left happily, Tan Zhengwen said, "Master, why do you want to give him a discount? Why don't we do such a big favor? Imperial College, which is the place where talents are reserved for the country. I wonder how many officials will come out from there in the future. Wouldn't they all accept his favor?"

Yang Ze snorted and whispered: "Silly, if the emperor didn't know that he had planned the military power this time, he might not have any bad ideas about him, but now he knows that he seized military power and wanted to win over civil servants. Does he still want to have a good idea? The emperor's eyes do not rub sand, and the more he becomes. The faster he is, the luck is, he will be. It won't take long to leave the capital. He wants to come back then. Humph, even if he can come back, it's too late!"

Tan Zhengwenqi said: "The emperor already knows what happened today?"

"Nonsense, don't tell me you can't guess. We are someone in the palace, so I ask questions right away!" Yang Ze said with a smile.

Tan Zhengwen also smiled and then sighed: "It would be great if the eldest prince could return to Beijing earlier. He is not in Beijing. No matter how much you plan, Master, it will be difficult to achieve results!"

"This day will come soon!" Yang Ze did not supervise the imperial guards to search the house. If he blocked others from making money, it would attract hatred.

The imperial guards were also very good at being a person, especially those in charge of the accounting. Seeing that Yang Ze was the only one who was supervising, he took the initiative to come over to ask about the accounting. Every time he checked a treasure, the accounting account would be written on the account book. If Yang Ze looked at any more treasure, he would immediately cut the treasure off the account book, and he would be quite good at it.

Yang Ze was not interested in any treasure, but Tan Zhengwen was very interested. Not only did he pick several pieces, but he also picked several pieces for Fu Bingrong, Mugen, and Caicai. Everyone had a portion, and no one missed it.

Although he was busy all night, he was not surprised. The next morning, the house was confiscated to the end. Yang Ze handed over the matter to the imperial guards, and he went to the palace gate to wait, asking Tan Zhengwen to find a sedan chair. He was planning to make up for his sleep in the sedan chair. He had planned that Li Zhenglong would report such a good thing alone to Queen Dugu, and would not call him at all, so he just needed to be outside the palace and wait for the result.

Let’s talk about Li Zhenglong, who didn’t sleep all night, and he slept very little in the past two days, but he was always excited. Last night, he visited the prime ministers from house to house, and the results were very good. The prime ministers all agreed with him and used the seized property to repair the Imperial College. This is a great thing. At least, the students of the Imperial College can live better and eat better. How could they refuse such things?

At this time, the Imperial College of the Dafang Empire did not fall into decay like later dynasties, but was a very important department. It was considered the highest institution of the empire. It cannot be said that every student in it could be an official, but even 30% of the 100% could be an official, and even thousands of students could be hundreds, or even thousands. More than ten years later, this is a huge force to study and study, which is a long-term investment. Whether it is Li Zhenglong or the prime minister, they are willing to sell this favor.

Li Zhenglong did not call Yang Ze. He didn't know that Yang Ze was just taking a nap in the sedan chair, so of course he pretended not to know, but took the account book to meet the Queen Dugu.

Things went very smoothly. This time, Empress Dugu met Li Zhenglong and after listening to his report, she praised him and asked him to train troops well in the future and manage the Right Shenwu Army.

Li Zhenglong received praise and left the palace with a light body. He thought that his temporary generation of Right Shenwu Army General, the title of "Temporary generation" would soon be removed.

In the palace, Cai Cai sent Li Zhenglong away, returned to the hall, and said to Queen Dugu: "Grandmother, my cousin wants to build the Imperial College, what is that?" She found that when Queen Dugu saw Li Zhenglong just now, she still had a smile on her face, but now she looked gloomy.

Queen Dugu suddenly said angrily: "That is the place where there are the most bastards. The bastards there are no real skills except for their verbal verbal knowledge. They only talk about the government affairs randomly. I don't like it the most, so I have never practiced a school for so many years. Your cousin actually came up with such a way to win over the hearts of the people. I can't wait, I want to wait for my death, and I am so anxious to make arrangements!"

Cai Cai Qi said: "Are you all bastards who only talk to the verbal? That's not the same as Yang Ze! Well, Yang Ze can talk to the verbal, but he is not a bastard!"
