Chapter 54 Political Clarity

Just after the end of the day, Caijuan fell asleep, and remembered in a daze that the royal garden still had to check the black soil and red soil that had been newly transported in, she opened her eyes and looked out the window, calculating the time according to such a bright scene, Caijuan was startled suddenly, and hurriedly got up from her bed.

It's been a few days in a row, Caijuan has slept with clothes every night, and she got up late today, not to mention breakfast, and even the step of washing with water is also saved, she immediately pulled her hair well, and checked that the buttons of a dress had been tightened, and then went out to the queen's bedroom.

"Fortunately, the queen mother let me live on the side of the dormitory again, and I got up late, but I didn't delay going to the queen today to receive my order." Caijuan muttered in her heart, and hurried to the dormitory with small steps.

Since the queen's health slowly improved, Li Wansi also passed away and left the palace, Caijuan, as the first maid in charge of the queen's bedroom, has to be busy managing the affairs inside and outside the queen's bedroom early in the morning.

This busy day has passed for more than half a month, without Li Wansi by the queen's side, Caijuan and the queen are still not many days together, but every morning when receiving the order, watching the queen's spirit gradually recover, the mood is much better than before, although Caijuan is busy every day, in the midst of hard work, there is also a rush in her heart.

The queen suddenly liked planting flowers and trees, so overnight, every grass and tree in the palace became a thing in the queen's heart. And one of Caijuan's responsibilities is to redecorate this lifeless palace with flowers and plants according to the queen's will.

In accordance with the queen's will, the world's strange flowers and flowers have all moved into the palace of Yong'an City in the past month. The construction of the annex of the South Garden has just stopped, and the Yong'an Imperial City has begun to move the original soil from all over the world into the imperial garden of the palace. Everyone in the world is right: the husband sings and the wife follows Jinlingxiao, and Kyushu plows the land to remove seedlings.

Carefully calculated, since Xiao Jingming ascended the throne and became emperor, the Nanyuan Annex has been a large construction, and Zheng Gong suppressed the rich gentry and magnates who supported the prince in the court, which can barely be regarded as a labor without hurting the wealth, and finally the Nanyuan Annex was shelved by Xiao Jingming's decree. The queen phoenix decree came one after another, and the craftsmen of the design and craftsmanship of the South Garden Annex were all engaged in the renovation and expansion of the imperial garden.

According to the queen's will, the territory of the Central Plains is vast, and the exotic flowers and flowers collected can only bloom to the most beautiful under the moisturizing irrigation of the original soil and water.

In the Central Plains, where disasters and famines were continuous, they relied on the emperor's order to dig three feet of the most fertile and high-quality local soil and transport it to the capital Yong'an. Before the golden autumn, even the harvest that had been cultivated was eradicated in order to obtain soil. Along the way, the soil will inevitably dry out, in order to keep the soil quality unchanged, all of them are packed and transported to the soil, and the raw water from all over the country is loaded and escorted. The mighty transport convoy was loaded with the blood and sweat of the people from all over the country, mixed with the anger of the people who were gradually getting angry, and rushed all the way to the capital Yong'an.

Zheng Gong saw that the civil works of the Nanyuan Annex had been shelved there for several months, and in the matter of Qin Xin, his plan was completely lost, and this was the first time that Zheng Gong had fallen in such a big fight in front of the emperor. Since the return of the Nanyuan annex between the monarchs and ministers, Zheng Gong has been holding his tail like a frightened bird every day, and he does not dare to play the slightest proposal.

Every day when Zheng Gong went to court, he was like a knife waiting for a fatal cut, and the feeling of torment was devastating. He always felt that the emperor seemed to be waiting for him to say something or make any mistakes, and he listened to the recitals and deliberations of the ministers every day, and gradually feared more than planned, and was often absent-minded.

"Wechen has something to play!" Seeing that the ministers were silent, Zhang Jibai stepped forward and said.

"Or Ji Bai Aiqing is diligent, in the past half a month, there is nothing to do as a minister, it seems that the Yulu of my court, only Zhang Qing's family has not raised idlers in vain!" Xiao Jingming held the tea and laughed at the ministers standing upright in front of him.

"Guilty of sins! Your Majesty is angry! Sure enough, except for Zhang Jibai, who was about to do something, the rest of the courtiers fell to their knees.

Xiao Jingming looked at these courtiers who were lying on the ground and did not move, like puppets with strings, and lost their souls and became angry. And what made Xiao Jingming most helpless was that the person who raised the line was Zheng Gong and not himself.

"Okay, you all kneel, just listen to how my Ji Bai Aiqing eats the court and works for the benefit of the people!"

Seeing Zheng Gong kneeling beside Zhang Jibai as stupidly, Xiao Jingming's eyes burst out with murderous intent. He naturally knows the current situation between the DPRK and China, Zheng Gong secretly formed a party and ran a private business in the name of eliminating corruption, and it has reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand, and the earlier Nanyuan Annex is just a place for Zheng Gong and a group of people to collect money.

The ministers haven't been on the presentation for a long time, isn't it because Zheng Gong has recently exposed his feet and doesn't dare to make a mistake? And now that the courtiers led by Zheng Gong have no backbone, they naturally dare not have pertinent opinions.

The hall seems to be Zhang Jibai's stage, but Zhang Jibai still can't fully understand the emperor's thoughts, and said bluntly: "The minister is brave, and I also ask the emperor to take back the queen's phoenix decree. Now that the border is uneasy, the famine has been going on for many years, and the treasury is almost empty, when the matter of opening up sources and reducing expenditures, abstaining from luxury and rashness, and renovating the imperial garden should also be put on hold! ”

As soon as Zhang Jibai said this, the entire council hall was silent, and even the sound of breathing was a kind of noise. The ministers knelt in place and were still silent, and more than 20 Dayuan of the court with more than three grades of three grades secretly broke out for him when they heard Zhang Jibai's words. Admonishing the emperor to take back the queen's phoenix decree is unheard of, not to mention that the emperor's relationship with the queen's husband and wife, according to the rumors, can be said to be too high-minded......

Zheng Gong knelt on the spot and heard Zhang Ji's white words in his ears, and he was also stunned, and he couldn't help but immediately look up at the emperor's expression.

Zheng Gong thought that if the emperor approved Zhang Jibai's recital this time, wouldn't Zhang Jibai plan to start an inventory of his supervision of the Nanyuan annex in the next step? Will the painstaking management over the years be subverted in an instant under the joint efforts of Zhang Jibai and the emperor.

Xiao Jingming was naturally displeased after hearing Zhang Jibai's statement, about the injustice between the court and China, it is definitely not only about building the imperial garden, why did Zhang Jibai choose the queen's first phoenix decree to propose the case?

However, according to Zheng Gong's henchmen who are now silent, they want to stop the six ministries and empty him as the emperor, even if what Zhang Jibai said is referring to the deer as a horse, the face of the Ninety-Five Supreme must be held up.

When Xiao Jingming was hesitating, his eyes met Zheng Gong's worried eyes full of surprise, but this glance made Xiao Jingming know one thing: Zhang Jibai's knife was indeed inserted into Zheng Gong's heart.

"Zhang Aiqing, what you said...... I'll take it to heart. ”

Zheng Gong's eyes immediately darkened, did Xiao Jingming's words just now mean that his death knell had sounded......
