royal princess

Chapter 147: Come to the Door 1
There are fifty or sixty beautiful women living in this Mingxiu Palace, and only half of them can stay in the end, and in this half, there are only a handful of high positions. Everyone has a scale in their hearts, no matter how harmonious they are on the surface. , this private struggle will not be missed.But it's really rare for Su Rui and Chu Chenglan to quarrel on the first night.

When Si Jin got the news, she happened to send Xiao Qi, who had just finished his lunch, to the study next door to review the papers.After listening to Yun Shang's words, the corner of her mouth twitched, it seemed that this Su Rui was a bit stupid, she was so flamboyant when she first entered the palace, she didn't know how her family taught her, she was simply stunned.

"How does the aunt in charge deal with it?" The queen can take care of this matter, and the noble concubine can ask, but she, a little Ronghua, doesn't have such authority.What's more, one of the two people involved is the queen's concubine sister, and the other is the daughter of the Su family. The imperial concubine seems to have a close relationship with the Su family in Quzhou.

Yo, accidentally, the empress and concubine met again.

This fate!
"It was for the two of them to copy the palace rules."

Just copied the palace rules?This punishment is really... easy, it really is good to have a backstage.

Thinking of Su Rui, Si Jin couldn't help but want to touch her face. Although they are cousins, the blood relationship is really not that thick anymore.What's more, her father was a concubine back then, so there is still some similarity in this way, which shows that the genes of the Su family are too strong.

"Copying the palace rules is good. You can make fewer mistakes after you have a long memory. Even if you talk about family background in this palace, it's really uncomfortable to be caught in the wrong place." Thinking back to how Li Zhaoyi assigned the original owner to Yilanxuan , the fight in the palace is not only about family background, but also means, and more importantly, the emperor's favor.

Si Jin made a comprehensive assessment of her current situation. She might not be able to lose, and she might even be able to counterattack.If he can really have a son, his status will definitely be promoted by then, but he doesn't know what realm he can be promoted to.It stands to reason that Xiao Qi has not had a son for so many years. If he really gave birth to an eldest son, the mother's mother is expensive, and he can even skip a few grades.What's more, her natal family is also strong, and now the limelight is in full swing, combined from inside to outside, plus Xiao Qi's love for her...

As long as Xiao Qi has the heart, he will not wrong himself.

Si Jin was in a good mood instantly, and took Yun Chang's hand to walk around the yard. Through a wooden window, she could see Xiao Qi bowing his head and writing the memorial.Xu was aware of Si Jin's gaze, and Xiao Qi, who was lowering his head, suddenly turned his head to look out the window, and saw Si Jin standing pretty in the sun, covered with a layer of golden light, smiling happily at her and a little fool with.

Seeing this cheerful face restored his gloomy mood because of the memorial. He smiled at Si Jin, watched her wink at him and continued to walk while holding the hand of the palace servant, and then he was depressed. Look at the folder in your hand.The battle between Xiaolongwei and Feilongwei was arranged by him alone, but now the aristocratic family obviously wants to use this competition to embarrass Xiaolongwei, and there are countless sneaky tricks inside and out.Yesterday, a Xiaolongwei's house suddenly caught fire, and his parents and father almost burned to death inside. This kind of thing is really challenging Xiao Qi's bottom line.

The matter of Zhang Concubine has been found out before, and Qin Yuchuan's work is rare without the boredom of a nerd, and he strikes fast and ruthlessly, and he really caught a lot of evidence.Now Xiao Qi is suppressing this evidence and not releasing it, but waiting for Qiu Hou to settle the score together.It's time to move Qin Yuchuan to a nest now, let him go to the Ministry of War to stir things up, lest those old bones really think that no one can shake their positions.

But in the blink of an eye, Qin Yuchuan's going to the Ministry of War was settled.Qin Yuchuan is a person who does things in a gentle manner, and he grabs what he wants without knowing it. He is indeed a handy knife.

As for Xiaolongwei's family being burned, Xiao Qi also instructed Su Shengyang to make compensations as usual, if there is evidence, he can always get the evidence, so it's not time to fight for power.This time the battle between the two guards took the lead, this is the most powerful retaliation.

The Beijing army has been negligent in training over the years, and it is really useless. He has no excuse to rectify it.Now, taking advantage of the dispute between the two guards, it is just a matter of time to start rectifying it.Countless things slipped through Xiao Qi's mind, what to do after rectifying the Beijing army, how to install his own people, how to completely use the Beijing army for his own use... These questions must be dealt with before the Queen Mother comes back Don't give the queen mother any chance to intervene.

How can a woman be allowed to interfere in state affairs, especially a person like the Queen Mother, the more Xiao Qi thought about it, the more he frowned.In addition to the dispute between the two guards, the control of the Beijing army, and a large number of trivial matters in the Qianding Division need to be finalized.It is still calm now, but when the two crops of grain are harvested after autumn, when a large amount of taxation begins to bear fruit, then the Ministry of Household Affairs will be desperate to reach out.At that time, this matter will become more and more difficult, so it is time to prepare in advance and let Su Xingyu come up with a plan...

One after another, there were more and more memorials on the table, and Xiao Qi's brows became more and more wrinkled.Guan Changan came in on tiptoe, holding a stack of memorials in his arms, and just put them on the table, he heard the emperor say: "Send these back to the cabinet, let them re-examine and then hand them up."

"Yes." Guan Changan didn't dare to put a fart in his arms, he quickly picked up the folder on the corner of the table, and immediately turned around and went to the cabinet again.

Elder Wei Ge, Elder Xie Ge, and Elder Li Ge hadn't left yet, and the three of them sat in the room relatively silent.The national treasury has bottomed out, and local taxes and food are in arrears. They should have been transferred to the national treasury years ago, but there is no news so far.The head of the Ministry of Households was very anxious, but they didn't dare to hide this matter until now.

At this time, Guan Chang'an came with the papers in his arms, "The three adults are well, the emperor ordered the servants to deliver these, and please review them again before submitting them back."

The three of them looked at each other, feeling a bad premonition in their hearts. At this moment, Elder Wei Ge took a step forward, looked at the officialdom and smiled, "Eunuch Guan, what...what does the emperor mean?"

Guan Chang'an smiled softer, "Lord Wei, I'm just a small servant in front of the emperor, how dare I ask about these things. I'm just here to do some business. Please accept it, my lords."

Mr. Xie Ge personally took the folder in Guan Changan's arms, looked at him, and said in a low voice this time: "Eunuch Guan, we can't do anything now, the Ministry of Finance is so anxious that we want to hang ourselves, we are worried when we get the news." Can there be a number?"

Guan Changan said "hehe" twice in his heart, but said on his mouth: "Mr. Xie Ge, you are not embarrassing this slave, I really don't know anything." At this point, his voice paused, and he said in a low voice: "Slave I only know that the emperor looks very bad."

After Guan Changan said this sentence, he quickly ran away, and only a few old guys were left looking at each other.

"I just said that this matter can't be done, you have to cover it for the Ministry of Accounts. How is it now? Before the emperor sends you to the Ministry of Accounts, let's lose face. This matter is ugly enough." Li Ge old-fashionedly patted the table .

"Lord Li, this matter is a little inappropriate, but tax and food arrears occur every year. Years of natural disasters, bandits and rebellions, households displaced, and relocation divisions rob people. According to the rules of the early years, the local There is nothing you can do. In the past, you could pay for food with money, but now you can’t do this. In a word, you don’t have food, you don’t have money, you only have one life. What do you think about this?” Wei Ge’s old face turned black. Like the bottom of the pot, he is also anxious when encountering such a thing, but what's the use?

"In the past, there was no grain for silver, no silver for cloth, and now there is no silver. There is a lot of cloth in the southern border. If you fold it into cloth and sell it elsewhere, you can always free up some money. Why didn't you mention the matter of converting cloth into silver this time? Without the understanding of the food court, and without money, you can hold your hands high, and now you can’t even break the cloth, why is Wang Xinrui, the Minister of the Household Department, not as good as the previous one, where can you put your face?" Xie Huan was impatient, and his words were a little serious, and the people below were prevaricating They, they have to be slapped in the face by their superiors.

"All treasuries in various places are suspected of false reporting and detention. Old habits are hard to change. They are bold and reckless. In previous years, officials were sent to investigate, but the local government cheated. After several times, there was no improvement. There are still bold interceptors within a fixed time limit, unless the emperor makes up his mind to completely rectify. Otherwise, I'm afraid this matter will be nothing." The government's long-standing abuses are hard to get rid of, and the officials below are all bold and reckless. I don't know how many people are using the name of the family to do evil. They know it themselves, but they don't have that much energy to do it one by one. to manage.

Now that the emperor is angry, they are reprimanded, and the people below will drag them to work for the tiger. It's not that they don't care, some things have reached a certain point, and they can't control them even if they want to.

The three of them naturally knew this well, looked at each other at the same time, and sighed long.Wei Ge paused for a moment and suddenly said: "I think the champion of the new division is not bad, he is a person who dares to do something."

Li Ge and Xie Ge's eyes lit up at the same time, oh, this is really a good candidate.A young and vigorous young man who is also the champion of the new division, is he not a good candidate to charge with a knife?
This is a good idea, and the three old foxes made up their minds.However, the next day, before they could do anything, the emperor ordered Qin Yuchuan to be sent to the Ministry of War. All three of them were dumbfounded. What does the emperor mean by this?
"These people are so daring that they dare to withhold taxes and food from the year. Last year's tax and food have not yet entered the national treasury. They simply don't pay attention to me! The Ministry of Households is still trying to deceive the top and the bottom, I'll see Wang Xinrui is really confused!" Xiao Qi was furious in the Yihe Pavilion, and outside he was chasing Chang'an like a monkey, and dismissed all the palace people.

Si Jin looked at Xiao Qi's angry handsome face, and knew that this matter was of great importance.Hearing this, he couldn't help but frowned and asked: "These people are indeed bold. If they say that there is no one to back them up, I won't believe it."

The Dayu dynasty still relies on farming, mulberry, and grain taxes as its main income, and one of the salaries distributed by court officials is Lumi.Food is the top priority of a country, and it is indeed a big deal if taxes and food cannot be collected.
