Chapter 068: Team Building Outing
The next day, Ji Xiao received an order to rush back to the palace, and arrived at Ling Ling's bedroom without resting.
"Master...... Your Majesty, what is the matter of urgently summoning the micro-ministers? Ji Xiao saluted.
"There are no outsiders here, no need to see outsiders!" Ling Ling immediately got up and walked to Ji Xiao, "I plan to go out for a few days, and I summoned you back to let you stay in the palace, and by the way, help me check the billing details of the Internal Affairs Office!" ”
"Grandpa is going to clean up the housework? The grandson has the account book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on him! Grandpa, please! ”
Seeing Ji Xiao show the account book, Ling Ling was a little surprised, then took the account book and looked at it and said:
"Now that you've found out, why didn't you give it to me earlier?"
"Uh...... Sorry, Grandpa! The grandson didn't mean to hide it, but his father told you not to tell it before leaving! ”
"Why?"
Ling Ling was a little puzzled, with Ji Zhong's character, it was impossible to hide evil intentions, but why should such an important evidence be hidden from himself?
"Back to grandpa, my father said that grandpa worked hard day and night, and he had to enlighten and practice, let us solve these mundane things by ourselves, and we shouldn't let you worry about it anymore, now grandpa asks, and grandchildren are not good to hide anymore, please forgive me!"
"Hahahaha! Anyway! Ling Ling returned the account book to Ji Xiao, "You think too much, since I am the king of Qi, I naturally want to do something for the people, there is no such thing as mundane things, and can your account be true?" ”
"Everything is true, there is no falsehood, please rest assured, these princes and nobles are directly or indirectly involved, they collude with officials and businessmen inside and outside, little by little to eat away at the treasury memory, in the long run, resulting in the emptiness of the treasury, many policies have been forced to stop the implementation!"
"I see, did I blame Liu Chong for doing it for a long time?"
"This grandson has checked, Liu Chong knows the reason, but for the sake of pleasure, he turned a blind eye to this matter and chose to continue to be his puppet emperor!"
It seems that Liu Chong is innocent of death, the second generation of monarchs have forgotten the original intention of founding the country, the death of the country is a matter of time, internal affairs are not organized, and it is useless to enrich external affairs, but as long as there are no internal problems in a collective, the external affairs cannot be crushed and dispersed, so the internal affairs must be ruthlessly rectified.
"Hmmm! Ji Xiao! ”
"My grandson is here!"
"Unplug all the merchants from the ledger today!"
"Grandson takes orders!"
Just about to leave, Ji Xiao found that something was wrong and quickly turned around and asked:
"Grandpa, ...... What about the officials? ”
"Let's keep it for now! After the merchants who are connected to them are cleaned up, they will naturally restrain a little for the time being! Remember that you must replenish the treasury with all the assets of those merchants, and the country will be reformed in the future, and you can't do it without money! ”
"Well, my grandson understands that those unruly garbage, my grandson will definitely let them return it with interest!"
"Yes, I will give you real power, you can rest assured and bold to do it, as for those officials, I will have my own arrangements in the future!"
In the eyes of ordinary people, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are heinous, and Ling Ling is the same, but with his current strength, all he sees are greedy beasts and pixiu.
"Your Majesty! The queen of the scene asks to see you! ”
As soon as Ji Xiao walked on the front foot, he heard the news of Hua Jingrong's visit on the back foot.
"Let her in!"
The maid took three steps back and turned to leave, and after a while, Hua Jingrong appeared in front of her with an elegant posture and dignified clothes, and her behavior was abnormal.
"Concubine give Your Majesty peace!"
"What kind of saprophylla are you smoking?"
"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to take me out to play? ”
"I didn't say it was today!"
Hua Jingrong's mood was extremely low when she heard this, and Ling Ling changed her attitude when she saw this!
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you, it's just that your outfit is not suitable for going out, it's too ostentatious, it's not convenient to act, and the gameplay experience will be greatly reduced."
"So when are we going? What should a concubine wear? Your Majesty! ”
Ling Ling thought for a while and didn't answer directly, but made a list for Hua Jingrong, and then told her to set off when she was ready!
"Your Majesty! What do you want your concubines to do with these pots and pans? ”
"Don't ask so much, just follow my list and prepare, as for what to wear, I'll tell you when the time comes, you can come to me when you're ready!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine will go and prepare!"
Hua Jingrong immediately left the dormitory with the list, because the above things were available in the imperial dining room, and it would take a few people to prepare and complete it in a few random ways, such a task was too simple for her, and it could be regarded as a reassurance given by Ling Ling!
"Brother? What's the matter with you? "One by one, they came to Ling Ling, this time it was Yun Duo'er.
"What's going on?"
"The girl from the Shangguan family has only left for a short time, I thought your true feelings could be learned, why did you coax the girl of the flower family to show off if you didn't see it this day?"
"I just promised to take her out of the palace to see her! Oh, you're going to go with you, too! ”
Originally, when she heard that Ling Ling was going out, Yun Duo'er blossomed, wouldn't the harem be her world? Unexpectedly, the other party was still not at ease.
"Alas~ It won't take a few days to go out and play, right? I'm not interested in sightseeing, so I'll stay and help you watch here! lest the harem catch fire while you're away! ”
"Humph! I know that you won't go, and it's not impossible for you to stay, but you have to help me take care of Ji Xiao, I let that kid go and seal up those profiteers in Duchengli, it will inevitably encounter unnecessary trouble, I hope he won't lose a single hair when he comes back, understand? ”
"Understood! Got it! Hey...... Hey! ”
Looking at Ling Ling's serious expression, Yun Duo'er knew that this matter was no joke, if he came back and saw where Ji Xiao was, he would not be able to eat and could only walk away.
At dusk, due to Hua Jingrong's incomparable anticipation for traveling, he took Ling Ling to see the prepared materials when he was holding the lamp, and saw a group of palace maids and guards each holding something waiting, Ling Ling took out the storage bag and put it all away, and then released the cloud sailboat!
"Since you're looking forward to it so much, I'll take you there tonight!"
"Haha! That's great! Hua Jingrong was ecstatic, "Your Majesty, what should the concubine wear?" ”
"Huh......?"
Ling Ling pondered for a moment, and arranged for the maid Xiaoqian to bring her a new set of maid clothes, Hua Jingrong did not resist, it seemed that in order to be able to go out to play, she made a lot of determination.
Hua Jingrong, who took over the maid's suit, wanted to go back to her bedroom to change clothes, but Ling Ling said a word to change on the road, looking at Yun Fanzhou suspended on the side, thinking that the other party had always been alone when she left the palace, and never took the guards, and now she wants to take her out together, won't this become a world for two?
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Martial Nobles and Xi'er have arrived!"
"I've seen His Majesty King Qi!" Xi'er's mother and daughter saluted Ling Ling at the same time.
"Well, excuse me! Take Xi'er up! ”
Seeing that Wu Guiren and Xi'er got on the cloud sail boat, Hua Jingrong seemed to be unhappy, and said:
"Why do you want to go too?"
"It's not just her!" Ling Ling said, glancing at the crowd and shouting:
"Xiao Qian, Xiao Yang, Xiao Wang?"
"In!" All three responded at the same time.
"You three go up too!"
"Yes!"
The three of them got on the cloud sailboat and waited with Xi'er's mother and daughter, Hua Jingrong saw that the world of the two had become a group action, and they were stunned and did not move!
"Flower Blossom?" Ling Ling stood on the cloud sailboat and shouted!
"Huh? Here, what is the matter with Your Majesty's call for concubines? ”
"Why don't you come up? Don't want to go? If you don't come up again, I won't wait for you! ”
"Wait, Your Majesty! The concubine will go up! ”
After Yun Fanzhou set sail, while it was still early, Ling Ling told them to forget their identities, originally Hua Jingrong was a little puzzled, according to her thoughts, it was not wrong to hide, if she didn't hide her identity, someone would treat them politely.
But on the contrary, it will also invite death, and after a brief explanation, she also agreed to hide her identity to play.
"Since you have to do whatever you want when you come out to play, take a look around, a group of subordinate protectors of you, for fear that you will bump into it, so how can you have fun? Do you think I'm right? ”
"Your Majesty said yes!"
"Huh? Why did you just say that you want to hide your identity, and then forget it in the blink of an eye? ”
"Huh? I'm sorry, I should be called Ye, right? Please forgive me! ”
Ling Ling shook his head helplessly, for Hua Jingrong's mistake, only Xi'er dared to laugh, the others didn't dare, he didn't have that mind!
"Well, at my age, it's no problem for you to call grandpa, in short, from now until you return to the palace, you are not allowed to call Your Majesty, understand?"
"Got it! Lord"
Everyone responded in unison, and Ling Ling let the female dependents go into the boat warehouse to rest, while he and the guards stayed outside.
By midnight, Xiao Yang motioned for Ling Ling to enter the warehouse to rest, he was a little surprised at first, but thinking about it carefully, they were just ordinary people, and they couldn't see the operation of spiritual power, thinking that he was just standing there and doing nothing!
"Huh! Rest yourselves! I can't rest, if I fall asleep we'll all fall! ”
After that, Ling Ling made a few moves, pretending to be driving a cloud sailboat! The words scared Xiao Yang and Xiao Wang, and Ling Ling did have the intention of scaring them!
In fact, Yun Fan Boat itself can fly in a straight line, only the direction of progress needs a monk to take the helm, but generally flying in the sky does not need to turn at all, the reason why it scares them is just that they don't want to enter the warehouse!
Yun Fan Boat is not big, and there is no space formation to expand the capacity, so the amount of people it carries is also small, not to mention the space in the cabin, although three adults and one child are not the limit, but there is a difference between men and women, not to mention that he still has a wife!
Thinking of this, Ling Ling couldn't help but think of Qin Qing again, even if he knew that she was still alive, it was a kind of sadness to never be able to see each other, and he couldn't help but worry about whether the other party was doing well? When she was pregnant, it was a vain husband not to be able to accompany her.
While Ling Ling missed his wife, Zizhu was practicing in the temple, and among the three awakened Divine Souls, she was the weakest, and although she was talented in auxiliary healing, her physical strength was too weak to exert the strength of her Divine Soul.
"Senior brother, I haven't seen Zizhu for three months, she hasn't left us for so long since she was a child, I don't know how she's doing now?"
"Senior sister, don't worry, the little junior sister is the person chosen by the spirit, didn't she say it before leaving! What temple do you want to go to cultivate, and it is personally guided by the divine soul, Ziyu, you don't have to worry too much, the chicks will eventually leave the nest when they grow up, which is a good thing for Zizhu! ”
"Hmm!" Ziyu nodded slightly, then closed her eyes and continued to refine the pill.
The Divine Soul is a fortuitous creation for some people, but in Ziyu's view, it is more like a curse to ask for life, and those who carry the Divine Soul must take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the human race, and there is a possibility of being wiped out by the demons at any time, but now that the Divine Soul Ren has chosen Zizhu, the matter has come to this, and it can only go with the flow.
