After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 293 Little Things

Royal study.

The emperor sat on the chair sullenly, and looked at Ji Tai with unfriendly eyes.

"If Eunuch Chang wakes me up so early, if you can't come up with a reason, I won't spare you!"

Ji Tai, who had been waiting for half an hour, hastily bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's a big deal! It's a big deal!"

"tell me the story."

"Your Majesty, the old minister just got the news that the [-] shi tax grains shipped from Jiangnan Province to Kyoto..."

The emperor's body suddenly sat up straight, and his eyes became sharper than before.

"You won't tell me, you were robbed again, right?"

"I remember that at the court meeting, didn't you say that Ningguo is peaceful, there are few bandits, and every village is closed at night?"

Ji Tai choked suddenly, paused for three breaths, then quickly bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, the old minister did not expect the bandits to be so bold!"

Ning Huang raised his eyebrows, stared fiercely, and said in a dignified voice:

"So, the tax and food were really robbed by bandits?"

"Back to the emperor... that's right!"

Ning Huang was silent for a long time, shook his head and suddenly smiled: "Last year Jiangnan tax and food were lost, how did you deal with it?"

"Returning to the emperor, the old minister originally asked the Ministry of War to send the Guangling Navy to Shuangjiao Lake to suppress the bandits, but, but... Han Yue, Minister of the Ministry of War, said that the Guangling Navy is now in name only, and even if it is sent, it will only kill more people. That's all."

"Besides, the Guangling navy also went to Shuangjiao Lake to suppress the water bandits a few years ago, but they all came back in failure, so the old minister thought about it. This matter should wait until the national power is strong and the navy becomes stronger again before suppressing the bandits. Things."

"In order to make up for the loss of Jiangnan's tax and grain last year, this year's veteran ordered the provinces to increase taxes by [-]%, but I never expected that something would happen again..."

"emperor,"

Ji Tai bowed and saluted: "The place of the Huangcheng Division is not under the management of the veteran, but the duty of the Huangcheng Division is originally to spy on intelligence and suppress bandits... This kind of thing happened in broad daylight, and the Huangcheng Division did not know about it." !"

"The veteran does not dare to say whether the elder grandson is right or wrong, but this is a big matter, beyond the reach of the veteran... Did the emperor let the Imperial City Secretary handle this shocking case? If it can be recovered, the worry about the empty treasury can be solved. !"

Emperor Ning groaned for a few breaths, and gave orders to Eunuch Chang who was waiting on the side: "Go and call Changsun Jinghong to me!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

Eunuch Chang turned around and was about to leave when he heard Emperor Ning say another sentence: "Call Li Chenan here too!"

Eunuch Chang responded and bowed out of the imperial study.

Ning Huang didn't ask Ji Tai another word, he sat in front of the dragon case, rubbed his temples, and picked up a stack of papers beside him.

These are the sixteen poems from Li Chenan's Mid-Autumn Festival.

He read the sixteen poems again, and his mood seemed to get a little better.

"After three days, I will return to Changle Palace."

Ji Tai was overjoyed in his heart, but surprised on his face:
"Your Majesty, you can't leave now!"

Ning Huang put the stack of papers aside again, "It's not far from Queen Lu's memorial day, I'm going to make some preparations."

"As for the affairs of the court, you must take care of it."

"President Sun Jinghong and Chen An are here... I know there is some discord between you. You are both my servants, and you all serve the Daning country. What is the personal grievance?"

"Let it all go!"

"Let me be free, and you can spend more time on state affairs, so that the lives of the common people will be better."

Ji Tai bowed again: "The old minister will remember what the emperor said... In the past, I did have some misunderstandings with Lord Xiao Li. In another day, the old minister will host a banquet and invite Lord Xiao Li. I hope that the old suspicion can be settled and we can serve the emperor together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Zuoqing hurried in.

"Your Majesty... Something happened to the Imperial City Division, and Lord Changsun and Lord Li are not here."

Ning Huang frowned, and his mood suddenly became bad again, "What happened to the Imperial City Secretary?"

"Go back to the emperor, I heard that an old man died."

"...Just such a small thing?"

"Your Majesty, this doesn't seem to be a trivial matter, because not only the eldest grandson and Mr. Li went, but also almost all the people in the Imperial City Department...to pay that old man his death."

Ji Tai was startled, he never expected that Huangcheng Secretary would attach so much importance to the old man named Miao Qiufen.

After thinking about it, that guy has been lurking by his side all these years, and he should have sent a lot of information to the Secretary of the Imperial City. Fortunately, he was caught out by Xi Wei.

Damn him!
The Imperial City Secretary is stealing chickens and losing money, let them cry!
So, he was immediately happy, but unexpectedly, Eunuch Chang looked at him at this moment, showing a look of hesitating to speak.

The emperor was also startled at this moment, "Both the principal and the deputy have gone? Where have they gone?"

"Go back to the emperor, the servant just got the news."

"Say, the Imperial City Secretary who said Mr. Li led the funeral procession to leave first, passed by..."

Eunuch Chang glanced at Ji Tai again, this time Ji Tai saw Eunuch Chang's strange eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he heard Eunuch Chang say again:

"When passing through Changyue Alley, Mr. Li ordered the team to stop at the gate of Xiangfu for a while."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and asked in puzzlement: "Why is the gate of the prime minister's mansion?"

Ji Taihu's eyelids twitched, a bad premonition arose, and his old eyes widened to look at Eunuch Chang.

"Master Xiao Li ordered his subordinates to smash the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion... In addition, Lord Li also threw two jars, which are the fireworks that blew up the Fish and Dragons Club on Mid-Autumn Night, into the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Ji Tai's face suddenly turned pale, and then turned red!

The prince was also shocked when he heard this.

Although he didn't know what it was, he also heard that the power of that thing was huge.

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Chen'an used this thing to break through the defense of the headquarters of the Ichthyosaur Society, and also blew up the wall of the Second Prince's Prince's Mansion, and also blew up the study in Ji Taixiang's Mansion.

"……This issue……"

Ning Huang turned his head to look at Ji Tai, "Chen'an is young, and he has been in the small place of Guangling City in the past. Although his poems and articles are very good, but in terms of work, Meng Lang is a little better."

"After all, this is still a teenager's heart."

"As the prime minister of a country, you don't need to argue with him...Why did he smash your door and blow up your yard?"

Ji Tai's murderous heart has long been aroused, but at this moment he can only hold it firmly in his heart.

He bowed and saluted: "Go back to the emperor, the old minister still doesn't know the reason!"

"Your majesty is right. At this old age, of course I can't get angry with Mr. Li."

"Didn't it just blow up some houses and tear down the gates of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"After the court, the old minister went to invite craftsmen to repair it again and it will be fine."

"That's the old minister's small house, it's not important, what's important is that we Ningguo, the emperor!"

"The barbarians in the Western Regions have changed, and the western frontier army is short of food and grass. The veteran thinks that the investigation of the Shuangjiao Lake water bandits is the biggest thing now!"

Emperor Ning stroked his short beard, "Well, that makes sense!"

"Eunuch An,"

"The slave is here!"

"Go and see where Chen An and Changsun Jinghong have gone? Take them to the Imperial Study Room, I... ask them how to deal with this matter!"
