Chapter 1981 [Shangxie] endless troubles
Sun Chi seems to be getting busier these days.

Since he started to go to court, more and more papers were submitted day by day. The governor of Jiangnan, who used to be diligent and dedicated to the people, only paid taxes and did not make troubles, began to ask the court to reduce taxes. Even the city of Shenjing, which has always been the most prosperous and stable, has recently seen several murders.

As if the emperor's return to the court was an ominous omen, many troubles were presented to the imperial court one after another, which disturbed the whole court.

The eldest grandson Chi sat on the dragon chair in a scarlet dragon robe. Because of his busy days, his health became worse and worse, and his face was always as white as ice jade. All the ministers still couldn't help being terrified, and then looked away in fear and fear, not daring to reveal the slightest bit of disrespect.

This is a game about imperial power.

It is not an easy task for the emperor who has been a puppet for many years to regain his rights. After so many years, most people in the court have transferred to Changsun Qingzhao, and these trouble-making scripts are endless. Everyone knew what was going on, but no one would say it, the Regent's faction couldn't say it, but the Royalists didn't dare to say it.

It is still far from the time when the emperor can tear his face with the regent.

They have been lurking for many years, not for the sake of being impulsive and then being wiped out.

But these troubles have to be resolved, even if everyone knows that these things are all man-made, if it is Changsun Qingzhao, he can calm down all the chaos with a single order, but the emperor can't, he needs to Everything is dealt with as a real test.

So Chang Sun Chi moved all the notebooks to the Jinluan Hall, and casually flipped through them in the court hall while pointing out the names of the ministers.

Those ministers who had been standing behind the regent in the dark all came out to take orders with blank faces, and then were told in astonishment that all these troubles had been assigned to themselves.

"Xu Aiqing? Why didn't you accept the order?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the minister who was still in a daze below and said in doubt.

The middle-aged minister came back to his senses, kowtowed and said,

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm unwilling to accept the order, but I've been in the Ministry of Punishment for a long time, and I really don't know anything about national taxes and other issues! Wouldn't it be useless to ask me to go to the south of the Yangtze River to solve this matter?",

"is it?"

The emperor smiled, lowered his head and began to flip through the next memorial, the words he said seemed to come out casually, very carelessly,
"How do I remember that Xu Aiqing personally solved a similar problem for the late emperor 15 years ago?"

He stopped his hands, raised his eyes to look at the stiff courtiers under the steps, and said with a half-smile,

"In the summer of 15 years ago, the problem of water bandits in Yangzhou was serious. At that time, the big taxpayers in that area united and refused to pay taxes to the court on the grounds that they needed to resist water bandits. Mr. Xu got this troublesome job by self-recommendation in front of the former emperor. Then I personally went to Yangzhou to solve this big problem for the late emperor, and even solved the gang of rampant water bandits by the way, I remember correctly, right?"

This string of unsalty voices has already made the courtiers under the steps sweat coldly. He touched his forehead to the ground, stammered and wanted to say something, but was interrupted coldly by the emperor.

"What? It's only been three years since you transferred from the Ministry of Households to the Ministry of Punishment, and you've completely forgotten your old profession? Then how did the late emperor make waste like you the number one scholar and reuse it?"

The eldest grandson Chi is condescending and said indifferently,

"Do you mean to say that my father was blind back then?"
