Don't be defensive girl, I'm blind

Chapter 135 Aunt Matches Them

Xue Mu himself didn't expect that he would be praised by the Great Xia Empress thousands of miles away.

He made a mistake and put Cao Peizheng, the head of the Ministry of Officials, into prison.

And the Military Aircraft Department of the Great Xia Kingdom can also take the opportunity to arrange undercover agents from the Ministry of Officials.

It can be regarded as unintentional insertion of willows and willows.

But Xue Mu, who was the number one hero, naturally didn't know about it.

He originally wanted to solve the Beiquhe case.

It's just that Cao Peizheng was brought in by the way.

His heart is still firmly belonged to the Daqing Dynasty.

After all, his current status of a hundred households, although his official position is only seventh rank, is already very remarkable.

If he is promoted to an official of one or two ranks in the future, and his strength increases, no one will be able to threaten his life.

Of course, except for that wronged master.

"I hope that wronged master will stop looking for me recently."

On the other side, the second prince Zhao Chengqian was walking with Du Youkang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Du Youkang couldn't help feeling emotional: "In today's court, His Royal Highness Kang Wang is really courageous, and he is willing to donate one-third of his family property. I admire you."

After Zhao Chengqian heard this, he laughed: "Master Du, you naturally know that Father will not agree to this note."

When Du Youkang heard this, he smiled awkwardly: "Ah"

The second prince, Zhao Chengqian, continued: "Actually, Master Jiangzuo's plan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is the suggestion of the emperor's aunt, Princess Changle. I guess Master Du must have guessed it."

"That's right." Du Youkang added: "When Mr. Xu Jie came to the position of Secretary of the Household Department, the entire Household Department's documents and plans were implemented under the suggestion of the Eldest Princess."

"It's a pity." Du Youkang also showed a regretful expression: "Later, Mr. Xu was too stubborn. He knew that the tax and land policies were scars that His Majesty could not uncover. He had to mention them, otherwise he would not be demoted to the head of the household department." In the end, he was charged with corruption.”

"how?"

Zhao Chengqian asked back: "Master Du thinks that Master Xu was wronged?"

Du Youkang's expression suddenly changed.

Of course he couldn't say that Xu Jie was wronged!

Because this order was spoken by His Majesty himself!
Once doubted, wouldn't that prove His Majesty was wrong?
Under the sun.

Anyone can be wrong.

But only one person can't.

That is the Son of Heaven today.

Du Youkang quickly explained: "No, no, no, I just think that we have been unable to arrange manpower at the Ministry of Households. In the final analysis, Jiang Zuo Jiang Shangshu and the eldest princess are too close."

The second prince Zhao Chengqian said calmly: "Don't worry, I believe my good brother will make a move."

With that said, he stood on the steps and looked back at Fengtian Temple.

The dragon chair on it was golden yellow.

sparkling with light.

It is very dazzling.

And in Zhao Chengqian's eyes, there seemed to be an expression of certainty.

"His Royal Highness, please slow down!"

The eldest prince Zhao Ji hurriedly returned to the palace.

The servant behind him followed all the way, shouting non-stop.

Zhao Ji returned to the front hall, took the teapot and poured it into his mouth.

But unfortunately, there was no water in the kettle.

He let go of his anger, and then went to get the cup.

As a result, there was no water in the cup.

Zhao Ji was so angry that he threw the teapot and teacups on the ground and cursed angrily, "There is no saliva in the huge Prince Jing's mansion! Are the others dead?!"

This frightened the other servants all to their knees.

Someone even immediately brought a teapot from the next room and held it with trembling hands.

At this time, a richly dressed woman came over under two servant girls.

As early as just now, she heard about her husband Zhao Ji going crazy.

"Your Highness, it's the negligence of the concubines, and it's none of their business." The woman saluted Zhao Ji and said politely.

When Zhao Ji saw it, his anger subsided a bit.

He sat down on his own, drinking water non-stop.

At this time, the woman signaled to the others to back off, and she came to Zhao Ji's back, rubbed his shoulders and said, "Your Highness, is there something that doesn't go your way? Can you talk to my concubine?" , my concubine will help you out with ideas."

Zhao Ji touched his concubine Xia Ji and said, "Oh, dear concubine, I'm sorry for you."

"Why did Your Highness say that?" Xia Ji asked.

"The Huo Jiuchuan I arranged was found by Huanggu to be in collusion with local landlords for corruption. As the magistrate of Youzhou, he had some relationship with your family at the beginning. Now that he has been found out, I can only..."

At this time, Xia Ji took the initiative and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to pity this kind of person. You can't be lawless just because he is from my family. If you need to cut grass, you should cut grass. I support you."

Zhao Ji didn't expect his concubine to be so decisive, so he nodded with satisfaction: "If concubine concubine thinks this way, the king will be much more relaxed. Don't worry, he will let the whole world know when he waits for me to ascend the throne. , you are the best mother of a country in Daqing."

Xia Ji also smiled: "Actually, I don't want to be the mother of a country. I just want His Highness to be happy. I can't keep a straight face, or I will grow old quickly."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Ji also laughed: "Then it's up to you."

"Your Highness, Huanggu seems to be targeting us everywhere in the past six months."

When Zhao Ji heard it, his face also changed: "Well, I don't understand what the emperor means. At first, I thought she would help me deal with the second child and help me ascend the throne, but in the past six months, I Everyone around here was dragged into the water by her."

Xia Ji listened, and she tentatively said: "Your Highness, why don't I visit Huanggu some other day, bring her some jewelry, and improve our relationship by the way."

"She doesn't care about jewelry." Zhao Ji shook his head.

He knew this aunt too well.

No oil and salt.

The main thing is to be diligent in government affairs!
But Xia Ji still said: "Oh, all women in the world are the same, there is no one who doesn't love treasures and jewelry, and I see that the emperor's aunt has also reached the age, and I have never found someone I like. This time I enter the palace, just right Help Huanggu take a look and ask her what kind of man she likes."

"Although my aunt is as old as you, she has never had the slightest affection for men and women. I think your return will be in vain."

"Try it, it's up to people."

The eldest prince Zhao Ji felt much better after the concubine coaxed him a lot.

Then he came to the study and wrote a letter with a pen.

"Lin'er!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The maid outside the door came in immediately.

"Bring in the pigeon."

"Yes!"

After a while, a pigeon flew out from Prince Jing's mansion.
The eldest princess returned to the bedroom.

As soon as she sat down, the maid on the side handed over the cup.

Zhao Ruoli took a sip, and then said, "Is Master Jiang here?"

"Master Jiang is outside the hall." The servant girl Qing'er replied.

"Let him in." Eldest Princess Zhao Ruoli responded.

"Yes."

Qing'er came to the door and said respectfully: "Master Jiang, Your Highness the Princess let you in."

"well."

Hubu Shangshu Jiang Zuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly walked in, holding the hem of his clothes.

"The next official pays homage to the eldest princess."

Eldest princess Zhao Ruoli raised her hand to signal at this moment: "Lord Jiang, excuse me, please sit down."

Jiang Zuo immediately sat down, and said a little uneasy: "Your Highness, this time, Your Majesty did not agree to save the expenses of the harem and various officials."

Zhao Ruoli seemed to have guessed her brother's character long ago.

If he is allowed to save the expenses of the harem, it is better to kill a few corrupt officials and ransack their homes.

But she just wanted Jiang Zuo to make this suggestion.

And it must be mentioned.

Only in this way.

Only then can she tell about the corruption situation in Youzhou and other places in the Northeast.

Then His Majesty will follow the pole and let Zhao Ji be in charge of the relief money.

This is 100 million taels.

She believed that her good nephew, Zhao Ji, would search the homes of those corrupt officials well.

Otherwise, if it is not enough, you can only pay for it from yourself.

The eldest princess Zhao Ruoli immediately said calmly: "It's okay, no matter what, the relief of 100 million should be able to make up."

"Will His Highness Prince Jing really get it together?" Jiang Zuo tentatively asked.

Zhao Ruoli smiled: "Don't worry, he will definitely get it together. After ten days, you can ask him for silver taels, but at the same time, ask Mr. Sun, the speech officer, and ask him to prepare another booklet."

"What booklet?"

"Impeach the second prince, His Royal Highness Zhao Chengqian."

When Jiang Zuo heard this, his eyes widened in fright.
At this time, Concubine Mu Gui Nangong Wei was waiting at the gate of the palace.

As early as just now, Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin went straight to Penglai Hall.

Before entering the bedroom, Nangong Wei who got the news greeted her at the door early.

After seeing Zhao Hongyin, everyone on the side knelt down and bowed down.

Concubine Mu Gui Nangong Wei also bowed: "The concubine pays homage to Your Majesty."

Zhao Hongyin smiled slightly, waved his hands and said, "Excuse me."

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Nangong Wei stepped forward and asked.

Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin explained: "I just went to court early, and I have nothing to do, so I came to take a look."

"Your Majesty has a lot going on every day, but you have to be careful about the Eucharist." Nangong Wei replied.

Then Zhao Hongyin asked: "What has Aifei been doing in this harem recently?"

"The concubine has nothing to do. It's nothing more than admiring the flowers, watching the birds, and looking forward to His Majesty's arrival." Nangong Wei looked at her with aggrieved eyes as she spoke.

Zhao Hongyin smiled: "I'm here now, it seems that Aifei is bored in this harem."

"Not entirely. A few days ago, my niece came to see me." Nangong Wei explained.

Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin recalled it, and asked, "Is it the Qianhu of the Shenhun Division, Nangongxue?"

"Yes, her father, that is, my eldest brother, was the first deputy commander of the Shenhun Division established by His Majesty." Nangong Wei replied.

Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin pretended to be enlightened: "I have an impression, I remember that when Nangong Qi's wife was killed, it also led to his semi-mad state later on."

"Yes, that child's mother was gone at the time, and her father was crazy, so I can be considered her half-parent." Nangong Wei sighed.

Zhao Hongyin comforted him, "My concubine is kind-hearted."

"When she was chatting with me a few days ago, she kept mentioning a man who was also in the God Detective Department." Nangong Wei said at this time: "I wonder if that girl will like that man, so I have no doubts about it yesterday." And specially asked him to come into the palace to have a look.”

"Oh? And this." Although Zhao Hongyin was surprised, he seemed to have known about this for a long time.

Nangong Wei nodded: "The concubine looks at that kid, he looks so similar, he is exactly the same as my elder brother back then, it's a pity."

"What a pity?" Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin asked back.

"It's a pity that he can't see, is blind, and has no father or mother. I thought about how pitiful I was, so I simply recognized him as my nephew. Then I will make them a couple." Nangong Wei replied.

Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin smiled: "Since that's the case, that's fine. If they become a couple in the future, they can often come to accompany you, and save you from being bored."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling~"

After chatting for a while, Zhao Hongyin left.

"Your Majesty, be careful and pay more attention to the holy body." Nangong Wei urged.

After Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin walked out of the bedroom, he asked the eunuch behind him, "Is it true that you can't see it?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the man who came to the empress' bedroom yesterday is indeed invisible, and he is indeed a newly promoted Baihu from the God Detective Division." The little eunuch said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Zhao Hongyin nodded and said, "Since that's the case, this man doesn't need to be watched in the future."

"Nangong Qi was the one who was sorry for you back then, and I will help your daughter and future son-in-law."

After finishing speaking, he also glanced at the sky, and ordered people to go back to Zichen Palace.

As for the Penglai Palace, the maidservant Yuner went back to the palace and said to Nangong Wei after observing, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is leaving."

"Yes, I see." Nangong Wei said calmly.

She actually guessed that His Majesty would come.

But I didn't expect it to be so fast.

Now that I am honest and honest, even if Nangong Xue and Xue Mu come to my bedroom in the future, there will be no problem.

For more than a year, although Nangong Wei rarely saw Emperor Qing.

But I also learned from other concubines and sisters that Zhao Hongyin was suspicious by nature.

So if you want to break his suspicion, then you have to turn passivity into initiative.

Take the initiative to confess, and what you play is the truth.

She knows it too.

The reason why I can be a noble concubine.

It was because of her elder brother.

At the beginning, His Majesty ordered Nangong Qi to hunt down and kill the remnants of Murong Jin's accomplices, but he was killed by those people.

In the end, Nangongxue's mother was killed by thieves in order to protect herself and Xueer.

It's just that she never told Nangong Xue about this matter.

Nangong Wei was worried that if she told her about this matter, Nangong Xue might transfer this hatred to Emperor Qing.

She knew that going against the court would not end well.

"Xue'er, Auntie has no way to avenge you. She can't find those remnants of the Demon Cult. She can only try to make you happier in your daily life."

As she spoke, her eye sockets became moist.
After the Beiquhe case was solved, Xue Mu felt a lot more relaxed.

Now in the God of Catchment Department, everyone admires him very much.

Especially that night, one person captured four rough men and determined the direction of solving the case.

It makes everyone admire.

Just when Xue Mu thought he could continue to fish, the arrester guarding the D-level cell hurriedly came to the Shenhunting Department.

"Xue Baihu! It's not good!"

Xue Mu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Zuo Yuheng shouted loudly in the prison to find you."

Xue Mu smiled: "It's impossible that he said he wanted to find me, so I'll just go? Let's go tomorrow."

With that said, he stood up and prepared to leave.

When the policeman heard this, he could only say in embarrassment: "He's going to the execution ground tomorrow."

"What?!" Xue Mu said in shock, "Tomorrow?"

He knew that, logically speaking, Zuo Yuheng should go to the execution ground after the beginning of spring, why so much earlier? !

The catcher shook his head: "I don't know, Mr. Nangong said that he will go to the execution ground tomorrow."

After hearing this, Xue Mu gradually calmed down.

On the contrary, he was even more happy.

Once Zuo Yuheng died, he would have been wronged.

Then he said, "Okay, then I'll go first."

"Xue Baihu, are you going to the prison?"

"Don't go."

"Then where are you going?"

"It's off duty. I'm in a good mood today. Go drink some wine and have fun."

The policeman behind him looked puzzled.

"Teasing. Teasing. Force? What is it?"
