royal princess

Chapter 150: Can't Sit Still 1
As soon as these words came out, Si Jin looked at Xiao Qi with some surprise, he is not such a person who speaks casually, could it be because of some stimulation?

"Are you OK?"

Xiao Qi's face darkened.

Si Jin gave a smirk with a "hehe", "The emperor needs to worry about such a trivial matter. I know it clearly in my heart, and I know what to do."

The two of them had lunch without talking, and went to rest in the room after dinner.In his mind, Xiao Qi thought about what Si Jin said to do?
Xiao Qi is not a fool. Since Si Jin became pregnant, she can see that she has calculations in her heart. In the past, she wished she could stay in Yihexuan, but now she occasionally goes out for a walk with her stomach full. .If you encounter someone who speaks improperly, you will not back down, and you will always go to the queen to seek justice.

The queen seems to have returned to her previous attitude towards Si Jin these days. I don't know if there is something wrong between the two, but Si Jin's words and deeds are clearly walking on the old road of a noble concubine. He has to think carefully about the relationship here.Si Jin is not the kind of person who will be impulsive when she is hotheaded. She must have her reasons for doing so, but she didn't say it for the time being, so he just figured it out on his own.

After thinking about it, I discovered a secret.

Si Jin praised the dignified, magnanimous, virtuous and kind-hearted queen, while she herself was arrogant and domineering like a new favorite concubine. Of course, Si Jin's domineering was measured, but the painstaking efforts behind her doing so made Xiao Qi very sad. It's a somewhat complicated feeling.

Regarding the matter of Xiu Nu, Si Jin never took the initiative to mention it in front of Xiao Qi.Xiao Qi is not the kind of man who mainly loves, and she is not a woman who lives by love. The two have been getting along like this because of the tacit understanding that has accumulated over time.

This topic is not a good topic, Xiao Qi never said that he would guard his body like a jade for her, and she never asked him to guard his body like a jade.Isn't this a joke?Why do you let an emperor be loyal to only one woman for the rest of his life?Modern men may not be able to do it under the constraints of the marriage law. Isn't it very naive for you to let a cat who owns the Sannomiya Sixth Court, like guarding a bucket of fish, not steal?

Si Jin thought that she was not that attractive, but Xiao Qi's environment gave Si Jin great hope.For example, if Xiao Qi didn't touch others in the past two years, was he really afraid that she would be jealous, or could he really do what Liu Xiahui did?Of course it is not.What can make Xiao Qi endure is the current court situation, so no matter what the process is, the result is the same. Anyway, Xiao Qi doesn't touch others, so she ignores this process.

That way she can live happily ever after.

Although he is very rational in his heart, Xiao Qi treats her unusually, and there is nothing unexpected about her basic necessities of life.If he is nice, she will naturally be nice to him.People say that feelings come from places, and she can already understand what it feels like now.

For example, Si Jin doesn't like to eat alone now, and she doesn't like to stay in a spacious bed alone at night. She is used to the days when two people are at odds, but suddenly she becomes alone, but it seems that a lot of things are missing. Same.

For example, now, when the two of them are alone, Si Jin doesn't like to mention those uncomfortable ladies, anyway, people have to enter the palace.But after entering the palace, whether she can stand Xiao Qi is up to her.

Thinking of this, Si Jin laughed again, looked at Xiao Qi sitting next to him, grabbed his fingers one by one and twirled them in circles, but said in his mouth: "I have thought of a way to pay taxes and grains in arrears. Come out, do you want to listen?"

Xiao Qi grabbed the soft pillow and leaned against the thick and soft pillow, making all the bones in his body feel loose.Seeing Si Jin gritting her teeth cautiously in front of him and refusing to mention the matter of Xiu Nu, she knew that she must be sour.

Thinking that Si Jin just diverted the topic at this moment, she didn't pay much attention to it, and let her play with her fingers, and asked casually, "Let's talk about it." In short, this matter involves a lot, and I don't know that one knife can kill everything.The imperial court puts pressure on the localities to pay the owed grain, and the officials below will only persecute the people, which will cause public resentment.When a grudge builds up, who knows what might go wrong.

This is where the difficulty lies.

Xiao Qi has been looking for a suitable person. He should go deep into the local area, thoroughly investigate the pros and cons, and grasp the evidence at one stroke, so that he can have the confidence to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot.This is easy to say, but extremely difficult to implement.Local officials from all over the country are like local snakes. All parties collude and support each other, and they are protected by officials in Kyoto. It is not so easy.

Si Jin didn't know Xiao Qi's thoughts, the two lived in different time and space, which created a difference in thought.Si Jin's way of doing things has the characteristics of modern people, she does what she says, and never drags her feet.If you don't move, you don't move, and if you move, you must be ruthless.

"I'm just thinking wildly, and I don't know if it's appropriate or not, so you can just listen to it." Si Jin didn't know if his method would work, so he thought it over and said, "I've been thinking, is it right for the local treasury to be short of food?" Is there really no food or is it being divided up? If there is really no food, then forget it. But if the food paid by the people is divided privately by those bastards, the people below will only complain that the court has increased the tax burden, and the court above will only think that The people are cunning and refuse to pay the food."

Xiao Qi nodded when he heard this, "There were indeed such things in the past, but now they may not dare to be so blatant." When his father was in power, he once severely rectified, that is, the government forced the people to rebel, and the south There was a great chaos, and it didn't stop for a whole year.

"It is said that the accountants of the running water county magistrates are built by iron. I am thinking that if we start with the accountants of various prefectures and counties, if we succeed, this matter will be much easier."

Xiao Qi's expression suddenly became serious after hearing this, and he even sat up straight with his people, looked at Si Jin without saying a word, and listened to her continue, "Looking at the officials sent by the imperial court to investigate the case over the years, senior Those who are not necessarily familiar with Nongsang, those who are familiar with Nongsang at the same age may not have experience in handling political affairs. If you can find an official who is familiar with Nongsang and has an extremely rich number of officials who handle political affairs, quietly dispatch them with the emperor's handbook Tear a hole from the accounts in various places, thoroughly investigate the treasury income accumulated over the years, if it goes well, it will definitely set off chaos in the southern states and counties, and the officials will bite. They all started from the lowest positions, and within three to five years, these people will become the most powerful blades in the hands of the emperor."

The old accountant for many years must have the dark account of the local government in his hand, this is what they save their lives.Si Jin didn't know much before, but after watching so many TV dramas, she gained some knowledge.As an emperor, Xiao Qi was able to guide the country and handle government affairs, but he didn't have so much energy to manage how a small county magistrate's accountant survived.Just like an elephant can know what the ants are eating, this is a truth.

When a person reaches a high position, it is inevitable that the lights will be dark.

Based on the experience of her previous life and the current situation, Si Jin felt that although it is not easy to start from such an angle, once a hole is opened and the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is in chaos, many officials are bound to be sacked. , and can also behead useless officials to support their own people.

What a wonderful thing.

After finishing speaking, Si Jin looked at Xiao Qi, only to see that his brows were furrowed, but recently his eyes were particularly bright.Sensing Si Jin's gaze, Xiao Qi met her gaze, "How did you think of this?" He thought of dozens of methods, but each method would involve a lot of things, and once someone notices it, he will definitely lag behind. , it is difficult to move forward.

However, Si Jin's method gave him the excitement of starting from another angle.

Yes, excited!

"I was just thinking that the big tree can't move, and the ants are easy to deal with. That's why I thought of this. Do you think it's useful?"

Xiao Qi made up his mind and held Si Jin's hand instead, "It's hard to say now, even if it is feasible, it needs to be carefully arranged. Those who go up and down only find a small tent, without pressure from above, this small tent may not be able to To be honest. So at this time, we still need to think long-term. Even if we do it, we have to attack two places, one in the light and one in the dark, to see the results..."

Si Jin couldn't help being taken aback when she heard Xiao Qi's words, she just offered a suggestion, knowing that this method is feasible, but this method also has great shortcomings.Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi grasped the main point at once, this IQ...

The more Xiao Qi thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible at this time, he stood up and looked at Si Jin, "You have a good rest, I will accompany you at night."

"Okay." Si Jin agreed with a smile, as long as she doesn't go to find any little vixen, it doesn't matter even if she sleeps in Chongming Palace, it would be even better if she could come to Yihexuan.

Waving a small handkerchief, he personally sent Xiao Qi to the gate of the courtyard.Xiao Qi took two steps and turned around abruptly, only to see Si Jin still waving a small handkerchief, the smile on his face shining brightly in the sunlight.She seemed very happy in this way, and even smiled along with him, then turned and left.

Si Jin watched Xiao Qi walk away with her stomach straightened, and then walked back holding Yun Chang's hand.After entering the yard, I was not in a hurry to enter the house, so I slowly circled around the flower bed.She really treated Xiao Qi more and more sincerely, she felt reluctant to see him go, hey, he also looked back at her, thinking about it, she was also reluctant?
After taking a walk to digest food, Si Jin went back to take a lunch break.Tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a while, suddenly remembered the scene of Princess Yuzhen's first birthday banquet, the imperial concubine also left the emperor in Changle Palace that day, this time Si Jin can no longer be cheeky to snatch her away.Unexpectedly, she didn't make a move, but the queen made a move. Anyway, the concubine failed to fulfill her wish, the queen snatched someone away, and pushed the emperor to her.

She could accept the kindness expressed by the queen, but the girls from Duke Wei's mansion were also selected to enter the palace. If the queen wanted a child, she could have her own sister, and there was also the blood of the Chu family.That is to say, since your time, the alliance between the queen and the noble concubine has been completely broken again, and Fangfo has returned to the previous situation.

This time the imperial concubine supported Su Rui to come up, I'm afraid it was aimed at herself.She doesn't know what the Queen's plan is for the girl from the Chu family, but it's impossible for her to confer a high position for the first time. There is already a queen, and the Chu family will definitely not have another high-ranking concubine. tool only.

Seeing that the draft is coming to an end, the Queen Mother should be back, right?Qiao Lingyi, the girl from the Empress Dowager's natal family, without her protection, she would not be able to get a higher status, so the Empress Dowager will definitely come back in a hurry, but why is there no news in the palace?

The journey back from the other palace is not far, but it only takes a few days, but to welcome the Queen Mother in the palace, the Shoukang Palace also needs to be cleaned and dusted early, arranged for utensils, and arranged for staff to serve, all of which will take time.

Si Jin fell asleep after thinking about it, and when she woke up in the afternoon, she heard that Xiao Qi had recruited several ministers to the Chongming Hall, and when it was dark, Guan Chang'an came to deliver a message that Xiao Qi would not come at night, and stayed in Chongming Palace, let her go to bed earlier.

Si Jin faintly felt that Xiao Qi's delay in arranging tax and food arrears so quickly might have a lot to do with the Empress Dowager's return to the palace.However, Si Jin couldn't figure out what this had to do with the Queen Mother not coming back. Would it be obvious that the Queen Mother was interfering in the government when she came back?

A good night's sleep.

Xiao Qi's work has always been a grassy snake line, stretching for thousands of miles, she doesn't feel embarrassed if she can't see through it for a while.As a master of conspiracies and schemes from the royal family, Si Jin is still very self-aware, and she is hard to match.

In Mingxiu Palace, the remaining show girls have to learn the rules for more than a month.After the incident of Yunshang's message last time, the empress made a decree that no one should leave Mingxiu Palace without a final selection, and no one in the harem should visit Mingxiu Palace at will, so as not to cause misunderstandings.

Once again, Si Jin felt that the empress was really assisting her. The imperial concubine was afraid that she would turn her nose in anger at the moment, so she just saved her from worrying about whether Su Rui would have another moth.

Mingxiu Palace was put under guard, and the palace suddenly returned to calm, but at this time, the competition between Xiaolongwei and Feilongwei was about to begin.

Early in the morning, Xiao Qi changed his clothes, smiled and said to Si Jin: "It's a pity you can't go to see it. I will take you out after you give birth."

"I can go out, too?" Si Jin was really surprised. There is such a good thing, and she can go out to let the wind go without having to stay in the palace all the time?
Xiao Qi stared at Shang Si Jin, choked for a moment, and then said: "Yes."

Si Jin smiled even more happily, that was really great, "You must keep your word."

"Golden mouth and jade words."

Si Jin sent Xiao Qi out with a blinding smile of 12 watts. Although he could see a trace of hesitation on Xiao Qi's face, this matter must not be that simple, but since he agreed, this is a Commitment, add it first, and then fulfill it.

The competition between Xiaolongwei and Feilongwei was a big deal in the harem before, but the previous dynasty was worried that Xiaolongwei would agree, and Feilongwei would have no place to stand in the future, and it might just become a decoration.The harem stared at it thinking that if Xi Ronghua's brother won, then Xi Ronghua would have more face in front of the emperor, which would inevitably make people uncomfortable.

This competition looked like a friendly match, but it was actually a knockout match.The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The one who wins will naturally become the most important royal guard in front of the emperor, while the other will naturally become a stepping stone, with no dignity at all.

Si Jin was also very nervous. Although she had great confidence in her brother, Fei Longwei had the support of his family, so naturally she couldn't underestimate it.Therefore, at the beginning of today's competition, Si Jin was a little restless in the Yihexuan, and asked Chen De'an to go out to inquire about news, while she waited in the Yihexuan.

In the belly of almost six months, Si Jin was very tired after walking and sitting for a while, and she put a soft pillow of soft ink behind her, and got up and walked around the room in a short time.

Seeing the master's appearance, Yunshang said, "Why don't I invite Qi Ronghua to talk to you?"
