Good deal for him. He ponied up $0 of his own money.

    He’s doing this to stay in power and out of jail or other consequences that could happen if he lost power. Tearing down the east wing is just another weird signal of authority that he wants to show them all. And an excuse for his subjects to show deference to the king.
