Chapter 11: The Moon and the Beauty
The carriage drove down the avenue, and the wheels left two deep ruts in the mud.
in the carriage.
It has been five days since she left Yuanjiang County, and Xiao Linglongyu's mind is full of what Zhao Kang said that night, and the people should have their own fields.
The green mandarin duck looked at the beautiful appearance of Her Majesty the Empress from the side, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
I don't know what's wrong, since His Majesty left Yuanjiang County, it's like losing his soul, and he has been like this for a few days.
"Miss."
Lin Lao's voice came from outside the carriage, interrupting Xiao Linglong's thoughts.
"What's wrong, Lin Lao?"
"I've arrived in the imperial capital." Lin Lao said loudly.
Xiao Linglong reacted at this time, and after tidying up her clothes, she said, "Got it, the green mandarin duck went to drive." Lin Lao, you take two carts of tea to settle in the outer city first, remember not to leak the rumors, everything is waiting for my instructions. ”
"The old slave understands."
Remember the URL
Lin Lao laughed, he really wanted to see if His Majesty could sell the more than 500 catties of tea.
There were a total of three carriages, and Lin Lao found a few workers to help drive on the road, and then he got Xiao Linglong's instructions and took the carriage and horses into the city to find an inn to settle down.
Most of the outer cities of the imperial capital are yellow mud land, and because of the large population of the imperial capital, the complex relationship between cars and horses, so the ground is high and low, and it is very bumpy.
This is not a question of whether the green mandarin mandarin driving skills are good or not.
Feeling the shaking of the carriage, Xiao Linglong couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car to look outside, just when she saw a woman carrying a gong bucket and looking around, and after seeing that no one noticed her, she went to the corner where no one was around.
It stinks, and the woman trotted home like no one.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Linglong really had a headache, and when she thought of the cleaning brigade in Yuanjiang County that was always cleaning with a broom, the gap in her heart was even greater.
"I didn't expect that I had been the emperor for five years, and I thought I was inferior to the first emperor when I pacified external troubles, but I didn't expect that at the foot of the emperor in the imperial capital, the Son of Heaven, it was not as good as Yuanjiang County, which was governed by a nine-pin county official the size of a sesame!"
Thinking like this, Xiao Linglong's heart began to become irritable.
The carriage came all the way to the inner city, crossed several streets and went straight to the palace, and as soon as the green mandarin token came out, naturally no one dared to stop them and knelt down to salute.
As soon as she returned to the palace, Xiao Linglong went directly to the imperial study, and the chief eunuch Zhao Gou cautiously looked at Her Majesty the Empress with a cold face, with a lot of thoughts in her heart, could it be that Your Majesty knew?
Can't you?
He was still uneasy, Xiao Linglong had already spoken in a cold voice: "Manager Zhao, pass on my message, all the ministers above the fourth grade, not to mention martial arts, all of them will come to this imperial study within half an hour!" ”
"Slave obeys!"
Watching the chief eunuch leave, Xiao Linglong was already thinking about how to be angry later.
I was deceived by them in the past, wouldn't it be a pity not to use the topic this time?
After a while, officials at all levels of the six yamen hurriedly entered the palace, and one by one they were scolded by Her Majesty the Empress before they could make a fuss.
Looking at the people's livelihood in the state capitals recorded by Her Majesty the Empress personally, they didn't dare to raise their heads like quails!
"Liu Jian'an, commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses of the five cities!"
Liu Jian'an, who was called by name, only felt that the chrysanthemum was tight, how could this call himself? He is a small role in managing the administration of the imperial capital!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" Liu Jianan walked out with a hard head.
Xiao Linglong's already unhappy mood was a little worse when she was thinking about something.
"How did you become the commander-in-chief of this Terracotta Division! You can't see the sewage flowing outside the imperial city every rainy day, and even yesterday when I entered the palace, you could see women pouring buckets on the street, and the whole outer city stinks! Your soldiers and horses have their noses blocked? ”
"Where did the money allocated to you by the household department go every year! I can't even do the most basic environmental governance, what use do I want you! ”
Liu Jian'an's face was full of grievances, but he didn't dare to refute it, the imperial city has not been like this for decades, and he is too wronged.
But I don't blame Lord Liu, there is no way, who let Her Majesty the Empress go to Yuanjiang County for a trip?
The flat avenue and the neat ground, Xiao Linglong is still a little envious in retrospect, why is a small county order so comfortable?
Originally, Xiao Linglong hadn't noticed the situation in the imperial city, but after going to Yuanjiang County, she came back and looked at the surrounding environment.
Not to mention anything else, even the toilet doesn't have the white porcelain toilet, it's really a bad idea!
Looking at Liu Jian'an, who was kneeling below, Xiao Linglong spoke: "I will give you three months to renovate the imperial city, and after three months, if I see someone on the street using the toilet and sewage flowing everywhere, you will go back to your hometown to retire!" ”
Lord Liu was directly stunned, and suddenly reacted as if his future was bright, so he had to do it, and hurriedly opened his mouth to tell Qu about his difficulties.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how can this be done......
"Why not!" Xiao Linglong's phoenix eyes froze.
When it comes to his own future, Lord Liu didn't dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is not an overnight thing to improve the environment of the imperial capital and imperial city, not to mention anything else, even if you want to open a canal and discharge sewage, it will take money!" ”
"Lord Zhang, how much silver is left in the treasury now?" Xiao Linglong lowered her eyes.
Hubu Shangshu hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, there are only less than 500,000 taels in the treasury now. ”
Xiao Linglong immediately raised her head: "Five hundred thousand taels? Where did all the money go! ”
Master Zhang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed less than 500,000 taels!" The first four years were spent on the war, and all the silver in the treasury was used for ordnance and food supplies, and the supplies of grain and grass had long been in deficit, Your Majesty, and you exempted the people from taxes, plus the actions of the two highnesses in the palace were all money, and the household department really couldn't get the silver. ”
"You ......"
Listening to the other party crying poorly, Xiao Linglong was angry, and if she wanted to have a seizure, she should forget it, after all, what Lord Zhang said was also the truth, and forcibly calmed herself down.
Xiao Linglong frowned at what she thought of, "What about His Highness Xuan Ce?" Why don't you see others? ”
When the ministers heard this, their hearts jumped, and when they were over, they still asked!
"Why don't you speak when they're all dumb?" Xiao Linglong sighed in her heart, that bastard won't be a demon again!
Sure enough, the next moment, all the ministers began to plead guilty, Xiao Linglong suddenly felt bad, and looked at the officials of the Zhan Mansion who were responsible for teaching the emperor's relatives.
"What the hell is going on!"
Lord Zhan Shi immediately cried and cried out: "Your Majesty! The old minister is guilty! The old minister deserves death! ”
"Speak clearly!" Xiao Linglong drank.
Lao Zhan Shi hurriedly said: "During the days Your Majesty left the palace, His Royal Highness Xuan Ce said that he was going to march to the army and command the army, but I won't allow it." His Royal Highness asked the palace maid and eunuch to pretend to be the soldiers of the two armies in the harem to practice day and night, and His Royal Highness played on a whim two days ago, following the example of ......"
"Emulate what!" Xiao Linglong was a little panicked.
Lao Zhan Shi said cautiously: "Following Your Majesty's example, you attacked the enemy camp of the Great Zhou Dynasty at night and burned the granary, and as a result, the ancestral hall was burned, and the tablets of the previous emperors of the past dynasties could not be rescued...... Your Majesty! What's wrong with you, Your Majesty! The Taiyi is quick to announce the Taiyi! ”
"Evil Barrier!"
Xiao Linglong almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood, and the green mandarin duck was so frightened that she covered her mouth!
"And whatever!"
Looking at the appearance of these ministers, Xiao Linglong knew that there was probably more than this.
Sure enough, another person in Zhan Shifu only promised: "A month ago, His Royal Highness said on a whim that he wanted to experience the suffering of the people, and let the palace maid and eunuch pretend to be the common people in the market, and two days ago, His Royal Highness didn't know where to hear about the folk adulterer and adulteress dipping the pig cage, and he had to play the adulterer himself and almost ......."
"I almost drowned in the imperial garden, and opened a few green houses in the harem, so that all the ministers went to act as guests, and he was the bustard himself! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Come on! The Taiyi is quick to announce the Taiyi! Your Majesty fainted! ”
