Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 226 Companion
The Holy One trusted Jiang Shunian to be honest, but little things added up. Even if Jiang Shunian himself did not go on business trips, his subordinates would often get into trouble, and he would definitely leave the impression in the Holy One's mind that he was incompetent and difficult to control.

Jiang Shunian and Shengshang met when they were young, and few people know the inside story. If the other party thinks that these little tricks can break the trust between the monarch and his ministers, he will probably be disappointed.

However, although the matter is small, it is really annoying. Jiang Shunian is not the type to sit still and wait for death. Some people's hands are too deep and can easily break.

Jiang Shunian heard Tang Bingxuan's worries and comforted her with a warm voice: "Don't worry, madam, my husband has found a breakthrough."

"It's getting late, madam, go to bed quickly."

The next day, Tang Bingxuan sent off Jiang Shunian, who was on duty, and sent someone to reply to Ms. Li, telling her not to worry and to wait at home.

Five days later, Qu Li was acquitted by the Shenxing Division. Several chamberlains involved were punished in the palace, and Concubine Chen was also fined and imprisoned for three months.

The person who ultimately played a key role in this matter was Fulu, the chief steward of the Holy Sage.

It is true that no one saw Qu Li picking up the jade pendant of Concubine Chen, but he cleverly reported the matter to Eunuch Fulu. Fulu asked him to keep the jade pendant for him first, and then ask the courtiers whether they had lost it the next day.

Qu Li was captured very quickly. When the chief steward Fu Lu knew about it, he had already been taken to the Criminal Punishment Department. Qu Li was not smart enough but he also knew how to measure. When he was asked several times, he never mentioned Fu Lu.

He himself didn't know whether Eunuch Fulu would testify to save his life, but he knew that if something happened to him it was best not to offend Eunuch Fulu, otherwise his family might not be able to survive despite their small fortune.

When Jiang Shunian asked Qu Li, he did not mention this matter, so Jiang Shunian was very troubled by Qu Li's matter. Unexpectedly, within two days, the chief manager Fu Lu came to visit him personally.

"Commander Jiang, Qu Li mentioned to the Sa family a few days ago that he picked up the jade pendant and returned it to its owner. Unfortunately, the Sa family has been busy waiting in front of the emperor recently and has never known that Qu Li has been wronged. The Sa family is really ashamed. ”

Fulu is the chief steward of the inner court and the most powerful person around the Holy One. Jiang Shunian does not believe that he would not know about Qu Li early. Fortunately, Fulu is here to testify for them and not to add insult to injury. Naturally, he must treat him with courtesy. .

"You are so polite, father-in-law. You are busy with the Holy Father, but you still disturb my father-in-law with some trivial matters. Jiang will be very grateful."

Eunuch Fulu came to explain the whole story and then left to serve the Holy Master in the Qinzheng Hall. Jiang Shunian was certified and Qu Li's matter was solved.

This incident involved a palace concubine. Jiang Shunian wrote a memorial specifically about this matter and submitted it to the Holy Emperor, who punished the relevant personnel as appropriate.

Qu Li's matter has finally cleared up. Jiang Shunian has since carried out a major rectification of the imperial army. Anything that goes against common sense in the palace must be reported in time, and no decision can be made without authorization.

....
In the past year, border officials have reported that the Rong and Di countries have recovered after more than ten years of recuperation. From time to time, the border guards are picky and friction from each other.

The Holy Spirit convened a group of capable ministers and generals such as Rong Guogong, Zheng Guogong, and cabinet ministers to discuss the matter, and finally decided to go on a personal expedition.

The Holy Emperor had never been to the battlefield in his first year, so a group of veteran generals such as Rong Guogong naturally asked to accompany him. It was natural for Jiang Shunian, as the commander of the Forbidden Army, to protect the Holy Emperor.

Ever since Tang Bingxuan knew that the Holy Emperor was going to lead the expedition in person, she had started preparing bags for Jiang Shunian, so naturally all kinds of life-saving medicines and poisons would not be left behind.

The children knew that their father wanted to protect Shengjia when he went to the border and were reluctant to leave. They had not been separated from their father Jiang Shunian for a long time since they were born.

Kangkang is ten years old, and he still looks childish but has the appearance of a young man. As the eldest son of the third family, he understands that after his father leaves home, he will be the man of their third family, and he must protect his mother and sister. Before leaving, the father and son quietly conducted a serious handover ceremony in the study room in the outer courtyard. Jiang Shunian earnestly warned and Kangkang seriously promised.

"Father, don't worry, the child will definitely not let others bully his mother and sister."

Jiang Shunian looked at his eldest son, who was only as tall as his waist, with relief and pride in his eyes.

Tang Wensong, who had been working hard at the border for five years, was also on the expedition this time. His father-in-law, Marquis Weibei, as the grain transport officer escorting the grain and grass this time, had already set off for the border in advance.

The emperor personally led the expedition, and all matters in the court were decided by the cabinet ministers and the eldest son of the emperor who was less than twelve years old.

The reason why the Holy Emperor intends to take charge of the expedition personally is, on the one hand, to encourage the soldiers to go on the expedition for the sake of the safety of Lingguo's border, and on the other hand, it is also because the eldest son of the emperor's precocious wisdom allows him to have no worries.

Although the eldest son of the emperor has not yet been established as the prince, he has been learning from the emperor how to be a prince since he was ten years old. When he gradually became able to handle state affairs independently, the emperor often asked the emperor's eldest son for his judgment on some memorials.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the eldest son of the emperor just lacks the title of prince, but he is the perfect candidate for the future prince who is both direct and eldest.

The men went to war to defend their families and the country, but the lives of women basically did not change much, and banquets were constantly coming and going to various families in Kyoto.

Because of the sympathy for each other, Tang Bingxuan often brought her children to the palace to meet Queen Ping. The two were close friends, and the children were also influenced by their parents and had a very good relationship.

Queen Qin added another princess to the Holy Emperor two years ago. As the Holy Emperor's only direct princess, she was naturally favored by everyone in the palace.

The eldest princess is named Ling Wan. She is now two years old and can walk. However, because she is so favored, she is always carried in someone's arms when traveling, so her walking is not good.

An An is the youngest in the Yongning Hou Mansion, with only an older brother and older sister. She has always been looking forward to having a little sister or brother to play with. When she saw the eldest princess, Ling Wan, she was naturally very close to her, and she always surrounded Ling Wan and teased her.

The eldest son of the emperor now has important matters to deal with in the court and is very busy every day. Queen Ping can only have dinner with her eldest son in the evening.

The third prince is naturally more relaxed than his elder brother. He is about the same age as Kangkang and An'an, but in terms of naughtiness, neither of them can match him.

Empress Ping and Tang Bingxuan were chatting happily, and the second prince and An An were teasing and playing with the eldest princess. Kangkang had always acted like an elder brother and just stood quietly beside the two of them and watched silently.

"Princess, your flower bud is so beautiful today." An An plucked the pearl pendant on the princess' flower bud, looking very fond of it.

"I look good." The eldest princess grabbed An An's clothes and confidently pointed out that she also thought she looked good.

"The eldest princess is naturally the most beautiful." An An praised her sincerely.

The appearance of the eldest princess is more like that of the Ling royal family. Her eyebrows are particularly exquisite, which combines the advantages of her parents' appearance.

As the daughter of Tang Bingxuan and Jiang Shunian, An An is naturally beautiful in appearance, but she is still young and has not yet fully opened up.

The second prince especially likes to play with An An. He doesn't know why, but every time he sees An An, he feels happy for no reason.
