Empress work daily

Chapter 19 Soup Pot Head
The red sun is rising, and its path is bright.

The dazzling rosy clouds make the world more prosperous and beautiful, and the imperial city is more majestic.

Ji Qiang stood in front of the window, quietly admiring the red sun and the long, kneeling figure drawn by the red sun.

It was past the time for breakfast, and Lvyi came over again and again to ask for instructions, but Shang Liujia shook his head calmly and rejected them all, but as soon as Ji Qiang turned around, he immediately leaned forward and asked with a smile, "Is your majesty hungry? What do you want to eat?"

The job in the green clothes was robbed, and she couldn't help but give Shang Liujia a blank look. Shang Liujia seemed to have not seen it, and was still grinning.

The small movements of the two of them were seen by Ji Qiang, and the haze in his heart dissipated a lot in an instant, "No hurry, there is still someone who didn't come."

Who?
The "Four King Kongs" looked at each other in blank dismay.

It didn't take long for Ji Qiang's words to fall to the ground, and a palace official sent a report outside the palace, and Princess Wei came to plead guilty.

Ji Qiang sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.Afterwards, the four people waited on him and lay down in a mess before he was declared into the hall.

Ji Hua's steps were messy, her face was haggard, and she looked guilty and uneasy. In short, she did enough foreplay before saluting.

When making an apology, she talked about the importance of the late emperor's trust in the Gu from the blood, from the importance of supporting the Gu to the heavy soldiers in her hands, and pointed out the shortcomings of the entire heavy army in Haojing from the heavy soldiers in her hands. Finally, she went around last night "There are assassins in the palace Your Majesty is disturbed" above.

After asking the questions, Ji Qiang cooperated in a timely manner, dragging the "heavy" frightened "sick body" in an attempt to get up, but because he was too weak, he not only failed to do so, but caused chaos before the sick bed.

When Ji Hua saw it, she was even more heartbroken.

In the words, she criticized herself even more harshly, Ji Qiang thought, according to what the other party said, she should put him in the prison immediately.

However, all this is a joke after all.

After a long time, Ji Wei finally brought the topic to Zhao Gan and Zheng Nanmu, and categorically asked to play again and again, and they must be severely punished, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public.

However, Ji Qiang showed embarrassment, and said palely: "What my aunt said is wrong, now is the time for employing people, besides the two, who else can I use? Forget it, forget it, Auntie is really angry, so they will each be fined for half a year. Afterwards, go to your respective battalions and get twenty army sticks as punishment."

The name "Auntie" moved Ji Hua for a moment, and Ji Qiang's sickly aura made her instantly think of the late emperor and those unforgettable years, and her heart softened for the most part unconsciously, and she shed tears of gratitude.

Afterwards, Ji Hua led the two generals and left Yangyuan Hall unscathed.

……

The entire city was under martial law, and the situation lasted for several days. People in Haojing were panicked.

Ji Wei attributed this "sudden" incident to the insufficient intensity of Habayashi Wei's training. Why was the intensity insufficient?Naturally, it was because the training ground was aging, the equipment was incomplete, and the weapons were incomplete. Therefore, the most urgent task at the moment was to replenish the military supplies and strengthen the training of the Habayashi guards.In addition, regarding the guarding and mobilization of the twelve guards of the Habayashi guards to protect the imperial city, some new adjustments should be made.

In the final analysis, there is one word, money.

No matter what Ji Hua said, Tang Chongjian only replied two words, no money.

Just like that, a princess with a heavy army in his hand, and a minister with an empty treasury in his hand quarreled openly in the court.

Ji Qiang suddenly remembered what his father said, being an emperor may spend half of his time watching people quarrel.And this is very different from watching a play. When watching a play, you can cheer loudly when it is lively, and you can cry when you are sad, but you can’t show any expressions when watching courtiers quarreling.

She had personally seen the embarrassment of the late emperor being chased by the other faction because he agreed with one faction. Although it has been many years, her memory is still fresh.

If there are quarrels, there will naturally be those who persuade them.Ji Hua's side was supported by two old guys, Song Guogong and Qin Guogong, and Tang Chongjian's bantering here was naturally his lifelong veteran, the official secretary Jiang Yousi.

However, quarrels are like this, the more people persuade the more fierce the quarrel.

Especially now that Tang Chongjian is like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, no matter how much you yell and scold, I just look like I have no money, completely angering this all-powerful princess, "Tang Chongjian!"

She named her name, "Do you dare to deceive the king?!"

"The princess gave Chen An an unambiguous accusation." Tang Chongjian, who was about to close his eyes and rest his mind, gave a little reaction, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Ji Wei sneered, "Just after the autumn harvest, taxes, food and funds from all over the country have flowed into Beijing, and a large sum of money has entered the national treasury yesterday... How dare you say you haven't deceived the emperor?"

Tang Chongjian jumped up when he heard it, like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, "You don't give me the idea of ​​paying for food and silver! Every penny here will be spent wisely in the future. If you use it, you will spend it everywhere next year. Disaster relief funds, large and small officials’ salaries, agricultural and water conservancy expenditures, military subsidy expenditures in various places, royal family expenses, etc., I ask who will go? Ask the princess, will the princess give it?”

"You... are bold!" Ji Wei was going to be mad with anger. If the two princes hadn't been pulling each other from side to side, Tang Chongjian would have punched Tang Chongjian.

Just when the two were quarreling, Yin Qilei raised his voice ten times higher, "Qizou Your Majesty, I want one person to participate!"

"Master Yin is so blank, didn't you see that this palace is discussing something?"

"Princess is so good at joking, is it possible that you are the only one here to discuss matters in the Palace of Preserving Harmony, and we are all soy sauce?"

"Oh, I haven't seen you all night, Mr. Yin seems to be more sharp-tongued."

"Thank you, princess, for your praise!" Yin Qilei thanked him smugly, turned around and changed his face, and said to Ji Qiang: "Your Majesty, I want to join the commander of the five cities' army and horses, Mr. Zheng Nanmu. He bends the law for personal gain. The law of the imperial court allowed the relatives to behave mischievously, disturbed the night market, and what's more, he sold officials and nobles, and those who sold were the officials he made himself, so he deceived the king and ignored him, he was a big treason, and if he didn't punish him, he would not be angry with the people!"

The court hall passed silently for a while, and Zheng Nanmu, who realized it later, was in a panic, "Yin Qilei, don't spit blood!"

"That's right, Mr. Yin suddenly put such an unreasonable hat on someone, but you have to show evidence." Ji Wei immediately put aside the quarrel with Tang Chongjian, and focused all her attention on Yin Qilei.

With 1 self-confidence, Yin Qilei was talking nonsense.

"I have a reason, of course." Yin Qilei said slowly, "Six days ago, that is, the night when Master Zheng, the commander of the five cities, was very busy, I was curious on the one hand, and out of mission on the other, I also went to various streets to investigate. Current events. Coincidentally, at the first moment of Zishi, I ran into Princess Wei Guo on the main street of Dongjie. At that time, the princess seemed to be teaching daughters in the street. Did I say anything wrong?"

Yin Qilei turned his head and explored Jihua's reaction, which made the other party very impatient, "Master Yin, please talk about business!"

"At two o'clock, the minister who bid farewell to Princess Wei was about to return home when he suddenly smelled the smell of meat. I thought, who's stewing meat in the middle of the night? But the meat is too thick, sir. In the middle of the night, the minister's stomach felt restless..."

"Master Yin, what exactly are you going to say?" Ji Wei interrupted forcefully, but Yin Qilei ignored him, and continued at his own pace: "I follow the smell of meat and walk, walk and walk, until I reach the east. Calabash Alley on the third street, the alley is getting deeper and narrower, but the smell of meat is getting stronger, unknowingly, I came to the house in the innermost part of the alley, and it really is this family that is cooking meat!"

"Three large pots with a raging fire burning at the bottom, the meat in the pot is fragrant and bubbling..."

"That's enough! This is the morning court for discussing major political affairs, not for listening to your stories. Your Majesty, I suggest that Lord Yin be punished for his inappropriate words and deeds!"

"Farewell, princess, I'll get to the point right away..." Yin Qilei glanced around for a while, then clasped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, the stew in those three cauldrons turned out to be farm cattle, and the person who stewed the cattle was Mrs. Zheng's wife." It is said that he is the son of the third aunt of Mrs. Zheng's natal brother-in-law's sister-in-law, named Sun Ban'er."

"Sun Baner Zu Baner, I don't know him at all." Zheng Nanmu lowered his eyes, his face was calm, and he couldn't see his true emotions clearly.

"Master Zheng doesn't know him, but he remembers Master Zheng clearly. Sun Ban'er said that others dare not boil cattle, but he dares. His official was appointed by Master Zheng himself, named Tangguotou Hey, he's still a ninth-rank official."

Yin Qilei's words shocked everyone, and even the national teacher who had closed his eyes for a long time opened his eyes.
