After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

At that time, in the small study room of Wende Hall, the emperor was sitting next to the brocade with a sickly look on his face, occasionally turning over the account book in his hand and coughing lightly.

The emperor was approaching his fifties and had long lost his vitality. In addition, he had recently been ill and had a cough that made it difficult to sleep at night, giving his already thin face a new layer of greenness.

Mu Shizi and Prince Pingkang stood in the hall with their eyes lowered. The emperor frowned and browsed the account books without making a sound, nor did they interrupt.

After the emperor coughed a few more times and took a sip from the cup handed by the eunuch, the two of them heard him say, "All the more than 770,000 gold were transported back, and the gold stolen twenty years ago was captured." There are so many crazy people out there, it’s really hard work for the two of you.”

Prince Pingkang looked at his nose and heart, lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a warm voice, "I dare not take credit for this case. In fact, this case was found out and solved by Lord Yuhu of the Demon Suppression Department, and he must be the first to take credit."

When the emperor was young, he had sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was very heroic, but now he has a sick look on his face. Compared with the decisive killing when he was young, now he has a kinder look.

He looked at the two of them with a smile as an elder looks at an outstanding junior, "Oh? Yuhu, the Demon Suppressor? I heard that she died together with the Qiongshan Demon."

Prince Pingkang lowered his head and answered with a serious face, "Rumors are just rumors after all. Master Yuhu must have escaped from danger back then, and now he can return safely."

"Then tell me, why has Yuhu not been heard from for three years? Why didn't he return to Beijing early to report on his work even though he was safe?"

This question really bothered Prince Pingkang, who was speechless for a moment.

Mu Zhao took half a step forward, saluted and spoke, "The injury should be serious. Master Yuhu must have rested for a while without us knowing it."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, seemingly disapproving of this excuse.

Who is seriously injured and needs to recuperate for three years at a time?

"Young Jade Fox is troubled and has an unstable mind. I can understand it." The emperor actually said, "But why didn't I enter the palace with you this time?"

Can Prince Pingkang say that the jade fox escaped early in the morning?
He can't say...

Mu Zhao replied calmly, "Master Jade Fox has just returned to Beijing this time. He must first report to the Demon Suppression Department. I think he will come to see you soon along with Master Ximen."

The emperor smiled, put down the cup in his hand and looked at the two of them, "I heard that two officials from Weizhou Prefecture, Li Yan and Yu Shoudao, escorted the gold to Beijing with you? Can they be helpful to the gold case?"

The prince and Prince Pingkang raised their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, almost saying in unison, "It's of no help."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then picked up the cup again, "Aren't the two of them always following the Jade Fox boy to handle cases? Why are they of no help?"

Prince Pingkang said calmly, "It was Yuhu who solved the case, and it was Yuhu who did the autopsy. It was also Yuhu who revealed the real murderer and the gangster in the gold case. The two of them just opened their mouths at best."

The emperor wanted to laugh a little, but he still asked the two of them majestically, "What's the point of opening your mouth?"

Mu Shizi said expressionlessly, "When encountering a dangerous light, I will call Master Yuhu for help."

The eunuch quickly took the tea cup from the emperor's hand to prevent him from choking...

The emperor was a bit dumbfounded, "The two of them have been in Weizhou Mansion for many years. What do you think of them as officials?"

"It's a mess." The prince commented lightly.

"Quite mediocre." Prince Pingkang said bluntly.

The eldest eunuch silently wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly called the younger eunuchs to exit the door.

The emperor's expression almost failed to stabilize.

The officials he had trained in Weizhou Prefecture for many years had just been recalled to Beijing and were rated as worthless.

"But I looked at the information Lu Xiwen handed over earlier and said that this Jade Governor has done a good job in coordinating the victims."

"It can only be said that most of them are influenced by her girls." The emperor suddenly became more interested in listening to gossip, "Would you like to elaborate?"

Therefore, Mu Shizi picked up some important information and reported it back to the emperor, including how the girl from the Jade Governor's family resisted disasters and rescued people, and how she donated money for free clinics.

How did Yu Shoudao sit back and enjoy his success, how stupid and brainless he was, many policy announcements were taught by Lu Xiwen, and he wished he could personally go into battle to formulate them for him.

Prince Pingkang glanced at Mu Shizi silently.

How cruel, he usually thought that women just liked to gossip, but he didn't expect that the aloof and arrogant prince of Lang Yue Qingfeng would also slander in front of the emperor...

Of course, it was one thing to feel that Mu Huai was ruthless in his heart, but it did not prevent Prince Pingkang from following along and stabbing him halfway.

If Yu Shoudao knew what happened in the small study today, he would probably faint in the toilet from tears.

How much evil had he committed to provoke these two people to lash out in front of the emperor...

The emperor's face was grave, "I thought that although he didn't do much in the matter of Prince Liang, he at least made some achievements in appeasing the victims."

I didn't expect to be so stupid and incompetent!

When he thought of the officials in his court who were as mediocre and incompetent as Yu Shoudao, the emperor felt that he was going to have a heart attack.

Originally, the purpose of recalling Li Yan and Yu Shoudao was to let them serve in the Sixth Department.

But now the emperor suddenly felt that these two people were so unreliable.

He was angry in his heart but didn't show it on his face. He just pretended to ask Mu Zhao casually, "Master Tang, the former Minister of Household Affairs, returned to his hometown after returning to his hometown. Does Huaizhi think Yu Shoudao is qualified for the job?"

"I'm afraid that's inappropriate." Mu Zhao said truthfully, "The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the taxation of the fields in the world. The minister has a heavy responsibility. He not only has to recruit and resettle the refugees, but also calculates the taxes on grains in the fields in Daqi. According to the differences in the income and expenditure of various states and counties, timely Adjustments will be made to make up for the remaining vacancies, and tax exemptions will be increased appropriately based on the actual situation.”

"There are still a lot of miscellaneous things left, including the adjustment of military resources, in addition to the fields, there are also grazing horses, silk cloth, silk, etc., a series of tedious and heavy-duty deployment planning."

"Wei Chen feels that Master Yu's brain may not be able to handle it. This would be too laborious and may not be good for physical and mental health."

Prince Pingkang lowered his head and almost laughed.

This Mu Huaizhi is so wicked that his mother opened the door for him, so wicked...

The emperor's face was expressionless, "Then in Huai's opinion, Yu Shoudao can be qualified for any position?"

"I may be barely qualified for the position of Minister of Rites, Foreign Minister."

The emperor frowned and thought, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard a familiar roar and cry coming from outside the door.

"Your Majesty!!"

The great eunuch ran in the door anxiously, with a look of constipation on his face, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ximen of the Demon Suppression Department wishes to see you."

The emperor's eyes and eyebrows twitched.

Before he could speak, he heard the old man crying outside and shouting in a dragging voice, "Your Majesty, I love you so much. I would like to ask your Majesty to let our jade fox live! Wuwuwuwuwu."

In the study, the Crown Prince and Prince Pingkang turned their heads at the same time.

The emperor waved his hand, and a vigorous old man ran into the study room, threw himself in front of the couch, and continued to perform in tears. (End of chapter)
