Cao Ol's words are never untargeted, he said that Kyoto is going to be chaotic, and Kyoto will be chaotic.

Nearly the end of the year, Emperor Qingwen suddenly fainted in a regular court, and was unconscious for several days, the Ministry of Rites and several elderly officials in the Honglu Temple privately asked the Ministry of Industry about the progress of the construction of Jiyang, they were worried about Emperor Qingwen's condition, but in their hearts they thought that he could not survive the winter.

"Ahem, ahem, I don't have a few days to live." Emperor Qingwen was lying on the tired dragon bed, the curtain was hanging low, and the heavy and fishy smell of medicine rushed to the people who couldn't help but gag.

Jiang Banxia knelt beside the bed, she tilted her head, and looked curiously at the place where Emperor Qingwen really lived, this place was completely different from what she imagined at first, the emperor's dragon bed was just a wooden bed covered with yellow satin, and the materials of the wooden bed were not even as refined as some wealthy merchants.

"Look at you, you didn't say a word when you came, don't you think you're old? He's an old man, and he doesn't want to say a word to me. Emperor Qingwen's tone suddenly became softer.

Jiang Banxia lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is not old, you are just sick." ”

"yes, I'm just sick." Emperor Qingwen struggled to get up, he sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Jiang Banxia condescendingly, his eyes swollen from lethargy.

Jiang Banxia took the opportunity to hand over the family fortune bills of the innocent businessmen and the mining taxes recovered from the mining rights.

A thin bill carries millions of taels of silver details!

Emperor Qingwen grabbed his shirt and leaned over to take the bill in Jiang Banxia's hand, it was written in black and white, the ink was neat, and the details of the mining tax were recorded in detail, the more he turned the numbers, the more shocking it became, and Emperor Qingwen's originally ugly face was even more difficult to see.

"Do you know how much Da Ming pays taxes in a year?"

"I don't know." She is not the official of the household department, how can she know this.

"Emperor Shunde, that is, my father, during his reign, he paid more than six million taels of taxes every year, and later I became the emperor, and the world became more and more difficult day by day."

Emperor Qingwen smiled bitterly: "Is it my fault?" ”

Jiang Banxia shook his head.

"I have worked hard for more than 20 years, I only eat four dishes a day, sleep only occupies a corner, and I wear only four sets of spring and autumn seasons. What's wrong? ”

Emperor Qingwen raised his voice in vain: "What do you say I am wrong!" ”

"When my father was there, he paid more than six million taels of silver a year! When they get to me, they will fool me with two or three million taels! Emperor Qingwen dropped the bill in his hand, he stared at Jiang Banxia and asked, "What do you say about me?" ”

"Your Majesty is not wrong." Jiang Banxia said categorically: "It's them who are at fault." ”

Emperor Qingwen chuckled, others patted the sycophants, and Jiang Banxia's sycophants were direct and determined.

He asked, "When did you come back?" ”

Jiang Banxia knelt on the ground straight and replied seriously: "Back to the emperor, I came back the day before yesterday, and it happened to be in time for heavy snow." ”

"Seen your godfather?"

Jiang Banxia nodded: "I only saw it the day before yesterday, and it happened to catch up with Laba." ”

"You're a good boy with filial piety." Emperor Qingwen was pleased: "It's not in vain that Cao Yu hurts you." ”

He asked, "What do you want?" ”

Jiang Banxia was stunned for a moment, and then looked up, and she saw Emperor Qingwen staring at her with a smile.

"Though I forgive you for your innocence." together

"Minister... Jiang Banxia bowed his head and kowtowed: "The minister's wish is to be an upright person!" ”

Where she wants to be a man, she clearly wants to be a man.

"To be human?" Emperor Qingwen smiled and asked: "What's so difficult about being a man, it's difficult to be a talent." ”

"I grant you this wish."

He still likes to exchange equally, controlling a person's ambitions, is the magic weapon for Emperor Qingwen to stand out from the many princes, and he likes 'greedy' people.

Women and eunuchs, they are naturally weak, and the greed and obsession in their hearts will be even stronger, he looks at Jiang Banxia like a murder weapon, such a person is sharp and has no background, even if he gets something, it is like a castle in the air.

He has a scheming plan in his heart more than anyone else, and he only needs to be a king who knows nothing about using a woman with no foundation to offend everyone.

"Now I'm giving you this chance." Emperor Qingwen leaned over and whispered, "An opportunity that can take you to the next level." ”

Jiang Banxia looked at Emperor Shangqing Wen's eyes, and she kowtowed again: "The minister is willing to hear the details!" ”

This conversation lasted for nearly an hour, Jiang Banxia still had a decent smile on her face when she came out, others asked her, she only said that Emperor Qingwen was not in good spirits, and she spoke intermittently, and she only asked about some details of Jiangnan disaster relief.

What kind of details it is, she still only laughs and doesn't say.

Later, on the night before Chinese New Year's Eve, a search team composed of Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei rushed into Beijing from Yongdingmen, with a frame in the middle of the procession, like a huddle and a detention.

Everyone who has seen it said that there will be another big official who will fall again.

The Jinyi guards never needed to be asked, they pulled the frame and went straight into the edict, the snow was heavier than the previous day, and the brazier was rarely raised in the edict, and the fire was brighter than ever.

The brocade guard in charge of the sentence respectfully packed out a compartment, and there was a bed in it, and the bed was piled with new quilts, and people who didn't understand thought that this was the upper room of an inn.

"Please." Two guards in brocade opened the chains and ushered a middle-aged man into the cell.

"I didn't expect that my Lu Cheng would also live in one day." The middle-aged man smiled wryly as he looked around.

The Jinyi guard who followed said respectfully: "If you live here first, you should go home." ”

"Home?" How can anyone take the edict as their home?

"If you need anything, just tell us, our brothers will help us if they can." The brocade guard in charge of the escort repeatedly instructed: "Your business is our business." ”

Lu Cheng waved his hand and interrupted: "Go back, these things are also withdrawn." ”

It would be nice to let him go alone in this troubled waters.

"Commander Lu!" A few brocade guards who followed Lu Cheng were unconvinced: "The grace surnamed Jiang will take revenge, and our brothers up and down who you have done in Beizhen Fusi over the years are all in your eyes!" Why listen to her! How can the Holy One ...... "listen and believe!"

"Enough!" Lu Cheng forcibly interrupted: "After following me for so many years, I still can't control my mouth!" ”

The brocade guards looked gloomy, and they felt that Lu Cheng was not worth it.

Lu Cheng's face eased and said kindly: "Listen to me, go back, don't come again." ”

The political vortex above the court was even more severe than he imagined, and Lu Cheng never expected that the person who came to arrest him would be Jiang Banxia!

She's a woman, she's... How she, how daring! How dare you deceive the king!
