royal princess

Chapter 148: Come to the Door 2
Xiao Qi let out a "hum" from his nose, "These people are playing me like a monkey!"

Si Jin Haoxuan almost didn't laugh, and forced herself to go back, looked at Xiao Qi and said, "It's not worthwhile to ruin yourself for unworthy popularity. If you want to rectify, just do it."

Xiao Qi naturally had this plan, Si Jin's words seemed to reach his heart, his complexion softened, and he said with a light sigh: "There is no suitable candidate."

That's right, anyone who dares to go south to do something that touches the interests of all officials must be a person who is tough, decisive and capable of killing.Such a person is indeed hard to find.Si Jin also fell silent for a while, one of his father and brother was in charge of Qian Ding Si, and the other was busy with the contest between the two guards, neither of them could be separated.

In fact, this is a good errand, although it looks like he offended someone to death, but if this errand is done well, he will be the emperor's favorite, and his official career will be guaranteed for the rest of his life.

Talent is hard to find.

Si Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Xiao Qi and said, "Didn't you praise the extraordinary ability of the new champion?" Let Qin Yuchuan go to the south, so that she can stay in the harem with peace of mind.

Xiao Qi shook his head, "I just sent him to the Ministry of War, he is not suitable."

Ministry of War?Si Jin didn't even need to think about it. Sending people there must have had a lot to do with the contest between the two guards.The matter of food tax is of course important, but taking back the military power is even more urgent for Xiao Qi.

What can we do then?
Si Jin couldn't help it, she was not familiar with the officials in the court, and she didn't know who could use it and who couldn't.

"Taxes and grains are difficult to put into the warehouse. First, natural disasters and man-made disasters reduce the yield per mu, and even there is no harvest, and there is no food to pay. Although there was a small disaster in the south last year, it will definitely not reach the current situation. The second is local corruption. , the government treasury intercepted. The third is that the supervision is not effective, and the upper and lower sides are fighting together." Xiao Qi sighed at this point, "I wish I could go there and kill those bastards in person."

Si Jin knew why Xiao Qi was so angry, the government was unclear, the people were harmed, and the national power was not increasing, so how could it develop?
"A thorough investigation into the case of grain and tax arrears, the person in charge must have no interest in the court, the Chinese and the military, not only to arrest corruption, but also to check the government treasury's outstanding debts over the years. If you don't move, you will be fine. If you make a move, it will be thunderous. It is shocking, and there is a result." Si Jin frowned and said slowly, "It is really hard to find someone who can take on this important task, no wonder you are anxious."

Every word Si Jin said could reach Xiao Qi's heart, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little, "If you are a man, you will definitely be my right-hand man."

Si Jin covered her mouth and smiled, "That's impossible. If I were a man, where would the emperor find such a caring pillow?"

Xiao Qi was also amused by Si Jin's thick skin, grabbed her into his arms, reached out and touched her stomach, "If I have a son, I will have your intelligence, and I will be able to share my worries in the future."

When Si Jin heard these words suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. These words...have a lot of weight.After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Si Jin deliberately said, "What if I have a daughter? You don't like it anymore?"

"If you give birth to a princess, you will naturally feel more distressed. Daughters are much more delicate than sons, so don't be careless."

This is almost the same, Si Jin smiled, leaning on his shoulder and said: "I know you are in trouble, so don't be too hard on yourself, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the beginning is always difficult, as long as you take this step , it will definitely get better and better in the future." Having said this, Si Jin paused for a moment, then a thought flashed across Si Jin's mind, and she looked sideways at Xiao Qi, "Why don't we fight poison with poison?"

Xiao Qi: ...

"Tell me about it." Si Jin often has some horrifying ideas, but these ideas are often unreliable, but the results are good.

"Why should we think that these people are gangsters and resist the court together. It's better to disintegrate from the inside. In my opinion, send the Minister of the Ministry of Households to collect grain. Whoever breaks the basket will clean up. If he can't clean up, you can clean up. he!"

Xiao Qi shook his head and smiled, "Your idea of ​​gratification and enmity is good, but it is difficult to implement. Wang Xinrui is gone, who will take care of the mess in the household department? The people below can make Wang Xinrui agree to default on grain, and here must be There are inhumane sayings, if you let him go, he will still cry poor when he comes back, which is useless."

"What if the emperor issued a death order and was dismissed from office if he couldn't get the food back?" Si Jin frowned and said softly, "Some people rely on their seniority and deep connections to sell their old ones. But if you say it well, it will be a pit on the ground. , Wang Shangshu has to accept it if he doesn't accept it, and since he accepts it with his temperament, he will definitely do it well. If the emperor doesn't force him, he will come to force the emperor, why should he be taken advantage of?"

Si Jin's temperament is so straightforward. Although this statement is a bit unreasonable, but...it is indeed feasible!
Xiao Qi rubbed his hands and circled around the room, the more he thought about this idea, the better he said, "Let the Ministry of Households let the deputy support it first. If Wang Xinrui can't do well, the deputy will turn to the right. I don't believe that he dares to waterproof!"

"That's the way it should be. We have to let these people know that things are different now. This is no longer a time when the family is dominant in the court." Si Jin doesn't want to have to watch other people's faces for herself and her children to get by, since If you want to do it, then there is no better opportunity to start drastic rectification of the arrears of food and taxes.

Obviously Xiao Qi and Si Jin wanted to go together, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, "You are really my Xie Yuhua!" He walked over and pecked Si Jin on the lips, "Don't wait for me to eat, I will go to Chongming Hall. "

Xiao Qi left in a hurry, like the wind under his feet, Guan Chang'an chased after him like a dog.Looking at this posture, I don't know why I thought Xi Ronghua had angered the emperor.

After Xiao Qi left, Si Jin had lunch alone and was about to take a rest when Yun Shang opened the curtain and walked in, before she could come over and bend down beside her, she said: "Master, Su Xiunv wants to see you you."

Si Jin raised her eyebrows, "Su Xiunv?" Was it the Su she was thinking of?
"It's a girl from the Su family in Quzhou, whose name is Rui." Yun Shang said softly.

Si Jin held her belly, "This is really interesting, what did she see me for?"

"It's said that I seem to have suffered a bit in Mingxiu Palace."

"This is even more strange. If she suffered a loss, she shouldn't have come to me." Don't know if the two are enemies?This Su Rui's head should be fine, how could he do such a thing, "If you want to look for it, you should look for the imperial concubine."

Yun Shang's expression was a little strange after hearing this, and he added, "It seems that I passed the words to Yihexuan after meeting Aunt Hua."

"Oh?" Si Jin frowned, what did the imperial concubine want to do with Su Rui's hand? "This is really funny. It seems that people think that I have to protect my face. Otherwise, how can someone who has a big enemy with my family meet me so openly? This is not out of my mind. Clear, but to use the imperial concubine to suppress me?"

Naturally, Yun Shang could see that his master was angry, and shook his head after thinking about it, "I can't figure out what I'm going to do."

April is fragrant, and the courtyard is full of flowers.

Across the window, the smile on Si Jin's face was a bit cold, and Yun Chang, who was next to her, felt even colder, she didn't dare to say a word, and stood with her head down.

Si Jin's feeling is a bit subtle now, the original owner has great hatred and disgust for her family, but Su Rui's actions have aroused deep irritability in her heart.A woman who is pregnant has a lot of mood swings, but now Si Jin is even more angry.

"Yunshang, go to Mingxiu Palace and tell me that I am not familiar with Miss Su, and there is nothing to see."

Yun Chang was taken aback for a moment. It was rare for the master to show no face to others like this, but it was just for a moment. He came back to his senses almost immediately, nodded and said: "Your servant knows, I'll go pass the message."

Si Jin nodded, watched Yun Chang go out, and was lost in thought at the flowers in the yard.No matter what, she didn't plan to love each other and be sisters with the children sent in by her family. It's because my family has treated them too much. As for that matter, I still can't hold my head up.Even if the facts were later clarified, everyone's enthusiasm for gossip will always be higher than the pursuit of the truth.

Therefore, Si Jin is not willing to be a snake with Su Ruixu, it is better to keep a distance.

When Yunshang arrived at Mingxiu Palace, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.After all, the palace people in Mingxiu Palace dress differently from other palaces, so that everyone can quickly distinguish them.It is not easy for the palace people to be in Mingxiu Palace after all. After all, there is plenty of money and face here. If the young master takes a fancy to it, maybe when he is selected for the position in the end, he will even ask for someone with the aunt in charge. Generally, the people here For the position of palace man, every time there is a draft, there is a lot of competition.

As soon as Yunshang appeared in Mingxiu Palace, just by the color of her clothes, she knew that she was from the big palace next to the master, and the little palace lady inside hurriedly smiled and brought her in, "Sister, I don't know which one you are. Palace, who are you looking for here, but there is something important?"

Yun Shang looked at the maid in front of her, smiled softly, first handed over a purse, watched the little palace lady put it into the sleeve, then slowed down and said: "That's the thing, Su from Mingxiu Palace Xiunu asked someone to bring a message to our master, saying that she wanted to meet, our master received the letter, and asked me to say something back and forth, I am from Yihexuan, is it convenient for you?"

When the little maid heard that Yi Hexuan rolled her eyes, she immediately said: "So it's Yi Hexuan's sister. I don't dare to say that it's inconvenient. Why don't I take my sister to see the aunt who is in charge. It's just that the aunt nods." Can."

Mingxiu Palace has strict rules, and Yunshang knows this, and smiled, "Thank you."

"I don't dare to be that." Yi Hexuan, the grand maid in front of the master, does she dare to offend?What's more, people give a purse first when they meet, know the rules and know how to be courteous and kind, she is stupid to offend others.While leading people in, his mind was spinning, and he also wanted to sell it well, but he didn't know what this person in front of him said to Su Xiunv, whether it was good or bad?Thinking of this, the little palace man smiled and said: "This Su Xiunv is really popular, sister Yanqing from Changle Palace also came to see her the day before."
