509.Chapter 509
The Empress glanced at the paperwork in her hand and threw it back in front of the Emperor.
It was really thrown in front of the emperor, which was extremely disrespectful, but the emperor just moved his body uneasily, not to mention that he opened his mouth, and he didn't even dare to put an unhappy face on his face.
"What are you still doing on your knees and not getting up?" The queen flicked her nails: "Such a small matter, is it worth the emperor's labor?" It's just that the embankment is unstable, so let the local people work to repair it. ”
"The court is not a money bank, whoever wants silver will reach out; Ask them how much grain they can hand over this year, and how much silver and silk they can hand over?! Let them understand that it is they who have to pay taxes, not that the court owes them money. ”
The queen's long phoenix eyebrows raised: "This kind of thing still needs to be discussed, what is there to discuss." The better you treat them, the more dissatisfied they are, and you have to beat them well. ”
The emperor coughed: "Those are my people, the rainy season really breaks the embankment, that is really ......" Although he was timid, he was not really confused, and he knew very well what the consequences would be if the embankment was not repaired.
The queen's brows furrowed: "What if the embankment is broken, and the places that are flooded by the embankment are also those who are unruly - if you don't tell them so, they will be willing to work and contribute money?!" You don't care, they'll figure it out on their own. ”
Otherwise, they will point to the court and give silver year after year, just to give those corrupt officials a chance. Eventually, the treasury will be empty, and when the treasury is empty, what will we use to prepare our sandy horses, and how will we wage war with others? ”
She waved her hand: "Okay, okay, this matter ......" Before she could finish her words, a minister knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The queen didn't wait for him to open her mouth and asked, "Are you the left minister?" But I haven't seen you go to court for a long time, take a nap in the palace today, and you will actually have time to enter the palace to discuss state affairs with the emperor. ”
She flicked her fingernails: "Come on, drag it out and take eighty heavy blames; All the ladies have been abandoned in the backyard - there have been not enough slaves and maids in the palace lately, so it is time to make up for it; All men, young and old, are sent to the border to serve. ”
"Zuo Xiang, you go to the border pass to take a look, and when you turn back, you won't go against the palace again, and you will know that you should spend all the silver on the blade, and you can't let our sand man lose his life on the battlefield because of weapons or battle armor."
After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and the guards with their own golden armor came in and dragged Zuo Xiang out.
His Highness's ministers all lowered their heads, and no one dared to say a word; The emperor stood up anxiously, but before he could speak, the queen leaned on the phoenix throne and looked up at him: "What is the emperor's dissatisfaction with the concubine's treatment?" ”
"Or is there something that Concubine Xu Guifei did not do well to annoy the emperor?" As she spoke, her eyes swept over Xu Guifei, and her vicious gaze circled around Xu Guifei's body a few times like a snake's letter.
Xu Guifei knelt on the ground calmly: "The concubine is guilty, and the concubine asks the queen to teach her a lesson." Other than that, she didn't look at the emperor.
The emperor finally sat back slowly: "It's just that after discussing for a long time, I am a little tired, and I stand up and move my hands and feet." He lowered his eyelids and looked at his hands and feet without making a sound.
The queen said coldly: "Tired? Come and send the emperor back to the palace to rest. Your Majesty, the matter here is left to the concubines, and the dragon body is important. ”
Speaking of this, she paused and said, "That Tie Ying, hasn't the emperor convinced him yet?" If he doesn't know each other anymore, the concubine thinks that he doesn't need to give him face like that. ”
The emperor stood up and was silent for a while before he said: "At the end of the day, he is the future husband of the queen's sister-in-law, wouldn't he have swept the queen's face if he didn't give him some face?" I believe that with the persuasion of the queen's sister-in-law, he will agree in the next two days. ”
The queen snorted: "The patience of this palace is running out, he had better agree." Sister-in-law? Hum. After she finished speaking, she looked at the palace people beside her: "Don't send today's fairy dew to Princess Yan first." ”
"Emperor Yan, is there no news yet? He can really give up this princess, although she is a concubine, doesn't it mean that Emperor Yan loves his children very much. ”
The queen put down the matter of Tie Ying, and asked about the matter of Yan Kingdom, and did not have the slightest politeness to the emperor who was standing-as if she was the emperor, and she was the one who stood tall.
The emperor glanced at the sunlight outside the door of the main hall: "Emperor Yan is not in the country at this time, of course such a thing cannot be publicized everywhere, so I have already asked people to chase Emperor Yan, I believe that news will come soon." ”
"Yan people are anxious, so in my opinion, it is better to keep a little kind. Princess Yan is the queen's righteous sister after all, you treat her well so that she can make a speech to her father. ”
The queen snorted coldly: "The emperor is the benevolence of a woman after all." This person is just a cheap bone, if you treat her well, she thinks she can pinch you by two or three points; Just let her suffer for a while, so that she can advance and retreat - with Tie Ying and Yan Huang, she will do her best. ”
"The emperor doesn't have to bother, go back to the palace and rest." She waved her hand: "The concubines are a little lacking, so they don't get up to send the emperor." ”
The emperor raised his feet and left: "The queen is so worried about me, I pity me very much-the queen sits, I will go back to the palace first." He didn't look back, afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide the anger in his heart.
Queen, it's really getting more and more excessive.
Ah Feng and Jiang Ming didn't alarm anyone when they arrived in Nasha Country, they entered the capital like two ordinary hunters, and after finding a small shop to live in, they arrived under the walls of the palace at night.
This place is very remote, but the guards in the palace will pass by from time to time, and Jiang Ming and Ah Feng still have to be extremely careful.
Originally, Jiang Ming didn't want to take Ah Feng with him, but this time he and Ah Feng came alone - he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of the Han family, so he didn't bring any of his personal soldiers, and they all stayed in Nanli.
Therefore, Jiang Ming was very worried that Ah Feng would stay in the small shop by himself, if there was really a case, he would not be able to reach it at all; Therefore, he still takes people with him.
As long as you are careful, it will not work.
However, Ah Feng has some opinions on Jiang Ming's thoughts, as if she is a completely useless person, hum, if you have the opportunity, let Jiang Ming know: People who don't know martial arts are also useful.
Even if Jiang Ming brought a person, he didn't alarm the guards in the Tsar's Palace, and he came to the imperial garden very smoothly; For the convenience of movement, Jiang Ming knocked down a eunuch and a palace person, and changed into their clothes with Ah Feng.
After tying up and gagging the people, Jiang Ming hid them in the canopy before sneaking carefully with Ah Feng. Jiang Ming had a map of the Sha Palace, and of course he knew where the emperor and empress were.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, Jiang Ming didn't know where Tie Ying was hidden, so he wanted to talk to the emperor of Nasha first: It's important to save people; Rescue Tie Ying and Princess Yan, so that Gu Zhu and Yan Guo will not have any scruples when they send troops.
