It's just that all this was done in secret, and Xiao Qi didn't notice it. She didn't want Xiao Qi to misunderstand because of this, she was just worried, and she didn't want to seize power, and some things didn't need to be explained.

What Xiao Han didn't expect was that in the few days she was recuperating, although Xiao Qi couldn't be said to be very wise and decisive in handling state affairs, it was also decent, and there were no big mistakes.

Not only did she breathe a sigh of relief, but the government and the opposition were also quite surprised, as if they didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been idle, could also do this!

After making sure that they were okay, Xiao Han withdrew all the people back and began to recuperate in his dormitory. The two ears are part of the window, and they are dedicated to living their own leisurely life.

And the rumors in the market, as the prince dealt with state affairs, gradually disappeared. But strangely, there is no voice among the people that contributes to the prestige of the prince.

Although Xiao Han stayed quietly in Huanxi Building, he never relaxed his vigilance, and secretly still investigated rumors. It's about the Xiao family, and if the person behind the scenes is not found out, she won't be able to settle down for a day.

After three days, Xiao Han's body has basically recovered, but he needs to pay attention to keeping warm and not getting cold again.

Three days later, Xiao Yan came to Xiao Han's palace with the best medicine, and Xiao Han naturally ordered someone to let Xiao Yan in.

As a result, as soon as Xiao Qi came in, she saw his bitter face for the first time, and she thought that something had happened in the court that would make him show such an expression.

As a result, Xiao Qi opened his mouth and said, "Sister Han, I heard that the imperial doctor said that your body has improved, when will you come back." I'm dying of depression. Xiao Qi kept complaining, as if the three days of managing the court had exhausted his patience.

Xiao Han said softly: "You are the prince of the Jin Kingdom, and you should have managed this government in the first place." In the past, the emperor's uncle would let me be in charge of the country, simply because you were in a state of 'disappearance' at the time. After you come back, I am probably afraid that you will not understand anything and will not be able to adapt to the government. In the past three days, I have also observed, and you have done a good job. Presumably, after the emperor's uncle saw it, he couldn't say anything. ”

Hearing her words, Xiao Qi said with a bitter face: "Sister Han, don't you plan to take this opportunity to quit?" I can barely sustain these three days, but at the moment I really can't support it. Sister Han, are you okay to come back, we will supervise the country together. Besides, if you want to leave, my father probably won't agree so easily. You know, he put a lot of effort into getting you in this position. If you leave now, you will ruin your father's hard work! ”

When it came to the end, Xiao Yan's tone became extremely excited, as if he was really afraid that Xiao Han would hand over everything to him!

Seeing him mention the emperor's uncle, Xiao Han was also worried, and I have to say that the last few words Xiao Yan said were quite reasonable. She is thinking about withdrawing, but I am afraid that the emperor's uncle may not agree, even if the crown prince can already handle the government affairs. But the emperor's uncle has been dissatisfied with the prince for a long time, even if the prince can simply handle the government, I am afraid that the emperor's uncle will think that he is still not good enough.

During this time, she was also able to come up with the idea of the emperor's uncle, which was nothing more than caring about blood relations, although the prince was raised to the palace from a young age and raised under the emperor's knees, the emperor did not regard the prince as his son.

The queen rejected him from the bottom of her heart, but the emperor felt that he was a child of King Qin, and he had no blood relationship with him at all, and he was extremely thin, so he would not pay attention to him at all.

And what the emperor cares about most is his imperial sister, Princess Fushou, in his heart, her status as a niece is much heavier than that of the crown prince. If she weren't a woman, I'm afraid Emperor Wu An would be able to raise her to her knees and become the next prince.

Even though she is a woman, Emperor Wu An still never gave up, wanting her to regard the prince as a puppet and train her to be a puppet manipulator!

Therefore, in Emperor Wu'an's heart, Xiao Qi is far less important than her. Since she returned to Beijing, Xiao Qi may have seen this.

Therefore, as his father wished, he had no interest in being a qualified emperor, and completely indulged himself. However, what he didn't expect was that he would care so much about Xiao Han, causing him to repeatedly destroy his bottom line and back down step by step.

At present, Xiao Han wants to return the 'rights' to him, but of course Xiao Yan does not intend to accept it, so he specially came to prepare for Xiao Han to return to the dynasty again. Whether it was out of appeasement to his father or out of sincerity, he had to persuade her to return to the court this time.

Xiao Han naturally sensed the resoluteness of Xiao Qi's attitude, and understood that there was probably no room for maneuver in this matter. Moreover, the decree of the prison was written by His Majesty himself, and she could not resist it at will.

Thinking about the people who spread rumors behind the scenes, there has been no clue, maybe this is also an opportunity!

Xiao Han thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, since you insist on asking for it, then go back to me tomorrow morning." But let's say it first, it's still the same as before, I'll go, and you can't be left behind. Remember to see you tomorrow in the morning morning! ”

Seeing that Xiao Han was finally willing to agree, Xiao Yan was naturally very happy, and when he heard this, he nodded hurriedly, patted his chest and promised: "Sister Han, don't worry, I will definitely appear tomorrow morning, and I will definitely not be absent!" ”

After seeing Xiao Qi leave, Xiao Han sighed and said, "What, is there any news today?" ”

Dark One appeared in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Back to the master, we have checked all the people named Zhu Qi or whose names include two words, there are more than ten of them, after the investigation of subordinates and others, there are three of them who are more suspicious and have time, but I don't know which one of the three is the one we are looking for!" ”

Xiao Han was a little surprised, but it was already good to be able to narrow down the range of candidates to three people. Next, as long as you find out who is contacting Zhang Yi from these three people, you can find the person behind the scenes!

If you do too many things, no matter how powerful a person is, there will be flaws, Xiao Han has always thought so. Thinking of returning to the court tomorrow, Xiao Han thought about it for a long time, and felt that this was a good time to 'lure the snake out of the hole'! As long as you grasp it well, you may be able to find out who is the most suspicious of these three people!

"What are these three people?" Xiao Han groaned.

Dark One revealed the identities of the three of them one by one: "Back to the master, the first one is called Zhu Qichen, now Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old, is a six-grade petty official in the capital, and has a wife and two concubines, three sons and one daughter. The second is named Zhu Qi, who is now twenty-three years old, and is a servant of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, with a wife in the family and no heirs under his knees. The third is Zhu Qijian, who is in his early forties, the owner of a restaurant in Beijing, with a wife and seven concubines, three sons and five daughters. ”

"What's behind them?"

"Back to the master's words, Zhu Qichen is very little official, and he usually lives in a simple place, not because he has any relationship with other forces in the DPRK and China. It's just that his wife is a distant cousin of the Xie family, but she is not close to the Xie family.

Zhu Qi's daily life is even more simple, he works in the government every day, but not long ago, he who has always been financially stretched suddenly became generous, so the secret guard who investigated felt that he was a little suspicious.

As for the last Zhu Qijian, there is a backer behind his restaurant, and many people make trouble wherever he is, and in the end they all end up miserable, which is by no means something that a merchant can do. According to rumors, the person behind him is Wu Yanyu, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites. But whether the details are still being verified. ”

Hearing that Dark One finished reporting, Xiao Han almost had the details in her heart, and she instructed Dark One: "Since you suspect them, send someone to keep an eye on the three of them, presumably there will definitely be changes in the near future!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

After the dark one left, Xiao Han smiled leisurely: "This matter is really getting more and more interesting, I really don't know who will jump out next!" ”

Hongxiu on the side was puzzled: "What does the master mean that someone will instruct 'him' to spread rumors soon?" ”

"Who knows, but I'm really looking forward to him making another move, so that Bengu can catch him!" Xiao Han said with a smile.

Early the next morning, Xiao Han appeared above the morning court, and after seeing Xiao Han, there was a whispered discussion below.

Xiao Yan's face sank, and just as he wanted to speak, he was signaled by Xiao Han with his eyes not to make a sound. Xiao Qi didn't dare to move, but his eyes looked down with a bit of viciousness!

Xiao Han turned a blind eye to this, and said with a smile: "The Japanese palace has been infected with wind and cold in the past few days, so I can't make an early dynasty, and I hope you adults are not strange." ”

"I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will take care of her jade body." The ministers knelt down and said.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "This palace has thanked you again, your lords, hurry up." ”

Now that the snow disaster has stopped, the affected areas have been exempted from taxes, but there are also houses that have collapsed, etc., which naturally need to be repaired by the Ministry of Households.

The local authorities have already counted the damage to the disaster, reported the folds, and are waiting for the appropriation from the household department.

Hearing the report from the Ministry of Households, Xiao Han vaguely felt that something was wrong in her heart, about the snow disaster, she naturally sent secret guards to investigate, and it was not as serious as the report from the Ministry of Households.

In other words, I am afraid that there is a lot of water in this report from the household department, in order to fill my own pocket.

At the moment, she didn't have evidence, so naturally she couldn't make a difficulty, she said with a smile: "It stands to reason that since the household department has come up, the palace should naturally immediately issue an order to distribute disaster relief silver." However, the palace still has some confusion about the content of this note, and after the palace has asked the four auxiliary ministers, it is making a decision. ”

Tobe Shirou wanted to stand up and say something, but was stopped by the people on the side, and could only stand in the middle of the line with an ugly face.

Xiao Hancai didn't care what kind of mood he was in, once she really gave the order, there would definitely be a lot of silver taels from the treasury flowing into the pockets of these officials, and she wouldn't allow such a thing to happen!

The snowstorm spread widely, mainly in the northern region, where there was also a part of the imperial army's troops stationed at the border passes. Because of the snowstorm, some soldiers suffered from severe frostbite, and there was an urgent need for armaments.

The military department happened to receive the report yesterday, and it was reported today. Xiao Han and Xiao Qi both felt that they had no objection to this report from the Ministry of War, so they ordered the Ministry of Households to start buying cotton clothes and food.

It's just that the grain officer in the back still needs to select a suitable person from the ministry to escort these armaments to the north.

After the end of the early dynasty, the two went back to Changchun Palace, and when they arrived at Changchun Palace, they found that more than four auxiliary ministers had arrived, and they were also followed by people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households.

Xiao Han said in a light tone: "This matter still needs to be considered by the palace, you go back first, and the palace will definitely give you an answer tomorrow!" ”

Seeing that she said this, the people from the household department and the military department naturally didn't say much, turned around and left.

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was puzzled: "Dare to ask Her Royal Highness the princess, is there a problem with the fold handed over by the household just now?" Otherwise, he really didn't understand why the princess who had just returned to the court wanted to suppress this fold.

Xiao Qi smiled and didn't speak, but on the way back to Changchun Palace, he asked Ziluo to instruct the secret guard to bring out the news of the previous investigation.

Xiao Han handed over most of the notes to Xiao Qi for review, Xiao Qi was about to refuse with a bitter face, but when he saw Xiao Han with a straight face, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to resign himself to starting to review.

There are not many recitals in her hand, only more than 20 copies, and the big stack in Xiao Yan's hand must have been a lot less. It's just that many of these more than 20 books involve matters related to snow disasters.

According to the reports of the prefects in various places, Xiao Han made a simple calculation and found that it was exactly the same as the household calculation, and the score was exactly the same.

Xiao Han was not relieved by this, on the contrary, it made her feel that there was a problem even more.

She picked out a few of the more severely affected places, and read the disaster situation reported by the prefect from the beginning again, and she didn't see any problems for a while.

In other words, she can only wait for the secret guard to pass on the real disaster information in order to know if there are any unreasonable problems in this compromise.

After the four auxiliary ministers left, Ziluo walked in quickly and handed the note to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han opened it and took a look, and after following the comparisons of the notes from the prefects in various places, he finally understood that it was really not his illusion that there was a problem with the songs.

There are three local prefects who lied about the disaster, and it adds up to tens of thousands of silver, Xiao Han couldn't help sneering, looking at their appearance, their appetite is really not small!

Xiao Qi was puzzled: "Sister Han, what's wrong, is something wrong?" ”

Xiao Han handed the note in his hand to Xiao Qi, and after Xiao Yan swept it, his expression was quite surprised: "They are really bold!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Han sneered: "Not only is he not small, but his appetite is also not small!" ”
