After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

"Sir, something big happened. The adults who asked to resign were all killed in Dali Temple. At this moment, the officials are still surrounding the residences of these adults."

"A bunch of trash, can't you stand it after just a few days?"

Prime Minister Wei waved his hand as he spoke, and with a "crash", all the empty teacups and teapots on the table flew out.

Prime Minister Wei never expected that his first plan to run against the new emperor would come to nothing, and he would be arrested and taken to Dali Temple by the other party.

The families of the arrested officials didn't care about it on the first day.

On the second day, a group of family members came to the door and asked Prime Minister Wei to go to the palace to ask for someone.

He was the one who encouraged everyone to submit their resignation papers, so it was only right that he should come forward to ask for people.

Prime Minister Wei asked someone to inquire and found out that the person was not in the palace, but had gone to Dali Temple.

He sent someone to Dali Temple to ask Du Zhong, and Du Zhong replied: "It's no big deal. The emperor doesn't know the political affairs left by the previous dynasty, so he asked everyone to help sort out the books before resigning."

The reason was sufficient, and Prime Minister Wei didn't think much about it. He immediately asked people to manipulate the price of food.

In the past, Du Zhong obeyed his advice, but Prime Minister Wei never expected that on the third day, he heard that the house of the person he pushed out had been ransacked.

Prime Minister Wei's eyes were ferocious and furious.

The boy who came to report was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled. Tea splashed all over him, and he didn't dare to say a word even after a piece of broken porcelain scratched the back of his hand.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Wei Mingchen, the eldest son, walked in anxiously.

"Father, what should we do about this matter? The new emperor has taken office with three fires. If they bite each other, the fire will burn us." Wei Mingchen asked eagerly before he could salute.

Prime Minister Wei stared angrily, "What are you afraid of? Your father and I are not stupid. Even if they bite randomly, there must be real evidence!"

Prime Minister Wei formed a clique for personal gain and always gave orders verbally. He was sure that the new emperor would not be able to do anything to him.

Wei Mingchen waved his hand and signaled the boy to retreat.

As if he had received the amnesty, the young man hurriedly got up and left.

There was no one else in the room, so Wei Mingchen lifted up his robe and sat down, "I'm afraid it won't work if my father says he's sick and picks his son. My son heard that the man surnamed Xiao used to be in the military camp for many years. He was a merciless master." , he arrested several court officials at his word, without any reason. "

This is the first time Prime Minister Wei has encountered this saucy operation.

"Did you raise any questions to the Imperial Censor this morning?"

Wei Mingchen shook his head and sighed, "Father, don't count on that wallflower. You asked your son to send him a message, but he refused directly, saying that he couldn't figure out the new emperor's temper. If he raised questions and angered the new emperor, he would be in vain. There is no guarantee. I hope my father will understand his difficulties.”

Seeing that his father's beard was trembling with anger, Wei Mingchen sighed and said: "It is said that once the emperor is the same as the minister, this is true. Those people used to do everything possible to please our family. These days, my son has finally understood that people's hearts are cold. , even a small amount of interest can be tied up for a long time.”

"Hmph! Some people are short-sighted. Our Wei family tree has deep roots. There will always be times when they regret it." Prime Minister Wei gritted his back molars with a sinister look in his eyes.

The Wei family tree has deep roots. Without the support of the Wei family, the new emperor's throne will definitely not be secure.

"What dad means is..."

"Pass the message and ask them to double the price of food tomorrow and raise the price of vegetables in the restaurant by 30%."

The Wei family was engaged in business on the side, and the business in the hands of the Prime Minister's Mansion was all handed over to the cousins ​​in the family. From the time when the Wei family was doing business in the capital, the family members made a lot of money.

Since the new emperor didn't take him seriously, he had to continue to cause trouble for the new emperor.

"Father, will you go to the morning court tomorrow?"

"If you don't go, that man named Xiao is ignoring me. How can your father be so shameless?"

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Wei was also upset.

There was no imperial doctor in the palace, let alone a word. The boy named Xiao seemed to be unaware that there was a missing prime minister in the court.

Wei Mingchen carefully explained what the emperor had announced in the morning. Before leaving, he asked his maid to come into the house and collect the broken porcelain pieces.

Prime Minister Wei had never been so angry before. He felt depressed and felt a dull pain in his chest.

The eldest lady knew that he was depressed, so she sent her maid to bring him a cup of soothing soup to relieve the fire.

"Madam, after finishing the soup, the master went to Aunt Chen's courtyard."

When the maid came back to report, the eldest lady was thinking about her granddaughter who was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, so she had no intention of competing for favor.

He waved his hand and said, "Let him go. The old lady is still ill. If Aunt Chen is so charming, just let her go."

…

The next day, Nangong Zeyue actually closed the gambling house. Jiang Shuyue asked the shopkeeper to clean up the useless household items, and asked Cangyun to buy wooden boxes for food.

"Miss, it's bad, the price of rice has doubled again today, and the grain store closed after just half an hour."

Seeing Qiu Ju running in in a panic, Jiang Shuyue smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, rice is not the only food that can be eaten. I have already contacted someone to send off the goods."

Jiang Shuyue went into the space to check last night. The mountains of sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes were enough to sell for several months. The corn in the spiritual soil was still growing continuously.

Especially those meat rabbits, she couldn't estimate how many there were already.

As long as she sells it, not to mention the capital, there will be no famine in several cities near the capital.

"Miss, this is weird. Why do those grain stores raise prices but don't sell more? Are they going to raise prices tomorrow?"

Jiang Shuyue gave Qiuju a thumbs up, "Yes, their goal is not only the price of rice, but also to create chaos, panic the people, and then point the finger at the emperor."

"Don't panic, Gao Mu will be back later. As long as we have the farm, at least the Jiang family won't starve."

Jiang Shuyue comforted Qiuju. She had her own plan in mind. She wanted to feed more than just the people in the Jiang family. She wanted to use the space to do bigger things.

Early this morning, she sent Gao Mu to buy a farm outside the city. With her own farm, she could help more people.

However, it was not only the rising rice prices that shocked the people today.

"Everyone, go and see, the new emperor has found corrupt officials." Someone shouted on the street, and people surrounded him like a tide.

"Where is the corrupt official? Is he from the Ministry of Households?"

"If the corrupt official is found, will the price of rice fall?"

Everyone stretched their necks and talked to each other.

"A new official takes office and starts with three things. The new emperor is also very clear about his work. I believe the price of rice will fall."

A man who looked like a scholar said, "You may not know yet. The emperor abolished the recommendation system in the morning court today. The autumn examination will be held at the beginning of next month. Even poor families can produce noble sons."

"The emperor is wise. The abolition of the recommendation system will make it impossible for officials and dignitaries to inherit the throne. This is a great thing."

For a while, the crowd was boiling, and the rising rice price did not affect their mood at all.

"Everyone, go to the palace gate and watch. The gold, silver and treasures that were seized are about to be transported in."

Someone shouted, and the crowd rushed to the palace gate.
