It was almost noon, and there was a light snow in the sky, and the royal driver drove back to the Qianqing Palace from the Wuying Palace.

"Emperor, the slave maid has been stewed a leg of mutton for the emperor early in the morning to replenish his body, now is a good time for the flesh and bones to be crispy, the emperor, you will finish the hot soup first?" Then the slave and maid went and brought the food."

The strips of meat torn from the leg of lamb are soaked in the milky white soup along with the fragrant yam, and sprinkled with a little chopped green onion foam on top.

Shen Shiqing took it and drank it, and continued to let the three cats change the dragon robe on his body.

Looking at the snowflakes still floating outside, she said:

"The snow has been thick everywhere for the past two days, and the vacant temples and houses in the palace must be carefully inspected."

"Don't worry, the slave maid and the second dog take turns to watch, only the roof tiles under the corridor are crushed, and the places where the female officials live are all newly repaired, and there will be no accidents."

"I'm not just here for you to see this." Shen Shiqing shook her head, "It snows all day, and if the little eunuch on duty back and forth hides in an empty house to avoid the wind and snow, no one knows, I'm afraid that someone will die." When the snow melts, it is damp and cold, and the lamb bones and radish are boiled in soup for everyone to drink."

The gratitude on the face of the three cats was about to drip from his round face, and before he even had time to respond, he knelt down first and kowtowed three times.

"Thank you for your compassion to us, the slave and maid kowtowed to the emperor for the eunuch palace daughter in the palace!"

After speaking, there are three more "Bang Bang Bang".

After kowtowing nine times, the three cats got up from the ground and continued to wait for their emperor to take off his boots.

Looking at the sturdy marks on his head, Shen Shiqing smiled:

"I'm just a little bit of a mouthful, and it's worth your effort?"

"The slave and maid still feel that they are not hard enough, no matter how big or small it is, it is a good thing that the emperor remembers us slaves and maids." Although his brain hurts, the three cats are still happy.

Looking at his appearance, Shen Shiqing could only smile faintly.

"The trivialities in the womb are pressing on you these days, do you feel tired?"

"The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and he is not tired when he sees the three watches every day, what is the tiredness of these little things like slaves and maids?"

After changing the boots for the emperor, the three cats handed the snow-stained boots to the little eunuch, and ordered:

"The leeward place in front of the Wuying Hall is prone to snow, you go and pass the word to the people who clean over there don't slack off, so that those old adults don't have to fall back and forth."

The little eunuch hurriedly responded, and ran out with snow-stained boots.

A moment later, the imperial meal was also brought over by the little eunuchs.

After Shen Shiqing became the emperor, on the one hand, he wanted to pay taxes and reduce the expenses in the palace, and on the other hand, he also wanted to make the hundred officials live more relaxed.

Dayong Taizu was born in hardship, not only to be strict with his children and grandchildren, but also to his courtiers.

In the previous dynasty, the hundred officials could go to the restaurant at noon to beat their teeth, and when they arrived in this dynasty, they had to eat the food sent by the Guanglu Temple.

If it's ***, it's just that, you can always eat a good meal sooner or later, the low-level officials in the six departments and six branches of the Hanlin Courtyard are shy, and they rely on this meal in the yamen every day, and there are even those who secretly bring meat home, so that they can't eat happily every day, and Shen Shiqing doesn't think they can put their minds on business.

So she directly recruited the ministers of Guanglu Temple to pull the account book, and calculated the daily expenses clearly, on the one hand, she changed the recipe and added the method to make the hundred officials eat some hot food in the winter, and on the other hand, the amount of meat and vegetables was fixed, and what the hundred officials ate every day, what was on her table.

As a result, the daily imperial diet is mainly based on fresh vegetables and vegetables, such as venison, wild goose meat, lamb meat, etc., which cannot be served on the table during the New Year's Festival.

The so-called "dishes" are omitted.

The cooking method has also changed from the original variety of frying to a much lighter and more delicious.

Of course, the wild vegetables that Taizu ordered were only left to the emperor.

She still likes to eat such seasonal mountain delicacies, as for other emperors, she is the one who is the emperor anyway.

With this change, Guanglu Temple not only spent less on the imperial meal, but even the expenditure on the meals of hundreds of officials was a little less than before, and Shen Shiqing did not take back the money saved from the officials' mouths, but let Guanglu Temple use the money to make some simple and delicious snacks, and distributed two or three cents per person to the officials of various ministries.

Such a dim sum is naturally not looked down upon by money, but it is a good thing if there is no money, and Guanglu Siqing was busy praising her benevolence when she came to report the matter.

After receiving this praise, Shen Shiqing did not forget to let people stare at the account books of Guanglu Temple, the extra money in the account books was clear, the dim sum made was sold cheaply, and the price difference between the people was another one, and it was impossible for no one to worry about it.

Even the matter of eating for hundreds of officials is so cumbersome, let alone others.

As long as the things in this world are profitable, she, as a king, must prevent others from being selfish because of profit, some selfishness can be used according to the trend, but more "selfishness", especially the selfishness of the ministers lying on the entire Dayong court......

Seeing the fragrance of the emperor's imperial meal, the three cats also felt comfortable, and was about to serve another cup of shepherd's cabbage ball soup to the emperor, when he raised his eyes, he saw the curtain of the palace door moving.

glanced at the little eunuch next to him, and the little eunuch hurriedly slipped out against the wall.

After a while, the little eunuch returned.

But he didn't speak, just kept glancing at the three cats.

Knowing that there was nothing good, the three cats' hearts sank, and their movements became lighter.

"If you have something, just say it, I can eat this meal three times a day, but the things I encounter are not the same, and I have to end it immediately."

As she spoke, Shen Shiqing stuffed the piece of steamed bun in her hand into her mouth and sent it directly with shepherd's cabbage soup.

The little eunuch who had just gone out to ask questions hurriedly knelt on the ground:

"Back to the emperor, a chicken father-in-law sent someone to spread the word, Wu Chongmin, a thousand households in the left sentry camp, died."

Hearing this, Shen Shiqing picked up another piece of steamed buns:

"Let in the messengers from outside."

As soon as she finished speaking, a eunuch in a cyan robe entered the Qianqing Palace.

"Did the Jinyi guard do an autopsy? How did Wu Chongmin die?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the father-in-law of the four rats was also transferred from the Criminal Department, and he was tested with Jinyiwei's work, Wu Qianhu died of angina pectoris, and at first glance it looked like a colic, but in fact he was poisoned."

Hearing the words "colic", Shen Shiqing gently bit the steamed bun in his hand. ap.

I chewed a dozen times and swallowed it.

"What was wrong with Wu Chongmin before he died?"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground and trembled:

"Back to Your Majesty, Wu Qianhu died after having breakfast today, the fans heard the shouts outside and rushed in, and they had already taken the Wu family up, and interrogated carefully, breakfast was made by the cook, and there was nothing abnormal as usual, the poison was put in Wu Qianhu's teacup, and the person who poisoned it has not been found."

"Teacup?"

Shen Shiqing frowned: "It's only been half a month since Wu Chongmin was injured in the arm, and his muscle-building medicine to stop bleeding hasn't stopped, so how can he drink tea?"

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid will go back and spread the word!" Find out everything."

"Go ahead."

Shen Shiqing nodded, and when the little eunuch left, she dipped the steamed bun in the soup of roasted chicken breast with winter bamboo shoots and ate it.

"Three cats."

"Emperor, Emperor."

"Let the high-ranking female officer be found."

Gao Wanxin, the former female official of the imperial court, was now busy sorting out the case file, and Shen Shiqing allowed her to put the case file in the Maoqin Palace, which was mostly there at this time.

Maoqin Hall is one of the supporting halls of Qianqing Palace, a matter of a few steps, when Gao Wanxin arrived, Shen Shiqing was changing clothes in the warm pavilion while explaining something to the three cats.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty."

"Senior female official, I plan to go out of the palace, and now that all the chickens and four rats are outside the palace, I want to take the three cats out, and the palace will be handed over to you."

Gao Wanxin didn't expect that what His Majesty was going to order was this, and she was a little surprised

Looking at the three cats in surprise, he saw that the three cats were tilting their heads and trying to purse their mouths - in the end, they did not hide the smug look on their faces.

If he had a tail, he could carry him to heaven now!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will definitely guard the palace gate, but the road is slippery in the cold weather, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body."

Shen Shiqing nodded:

"You first follow the royal car to the Chaohua Palace, and after an hour, you send a message to Wenyuan Pavilion, and say, anyone who writes to Zhuo Shengquan to intercede, let the cabinet make a list."

"Yes."

After explaining a few more things, Shen Shiqing wore a moon-white flying fish suit in the Panlong Dayu, and sat on the royal car and went to Xiyuan.

When I arrived at Xiyuan, it was much easier to get out of the palace, and an inconspicuous carriage followed the convoy of the Inner Treasury out of Xiyuan slowly, and then went all the way to the north.

"A thousand households, a good place to live."

Standing outside Wu Chongmin's house, Shen Shiqing took a closer look.

The three cats followed behind her, holding an umbrella for fear that the snow would fall on their own emperor.

This is a three-entry courtyard, with five rooms and seven frames in the main hall, which looks similar to the former Shen Mansion, and has the regulation of a five-grade military attaché. It's just that when the Shen Mansion was purchased, her father was from the Liupin Hanlin Academy, and the main house only had three rooms and five frames, even if it was later added with Daddy's promotion, it was not as good as this new Wupin Mansion inside and out.

Knowing that the emperor was coming, a chicken dressed as a brocade guard hurriedly greeted him.

"Has the Wu family's family business been clarified before?"

"Back to the emperor, Wu Chongmin has a hundred taels of silver in his account and more than four hundred taels of foreign debts, and these one hundred taels of silver are the dowry of his new concubine this summer."

Listening, Shen Shiqing smiled faintly: "What he did in this account is innocent."

How can there be a guard in Dayong that doesn't eat empty salaries? Especially people like Wu Chongmin, even the house slaves who were released could buy murder, let alone himself?

"Back to the emperor, I heard that Wu Chongmin's house was just renovated last year, and the slave maid felt a little strange, and was about to take someone to planing the yard inside and out."

Wu Chongmin died quietly, and without human evidence, he naturally had to find physical evidence.

"Did you find out? What kind of tea does Wu Chongmin drink?"

"Back to the emperor, Wu Qianhu drank a kind of cloud tea in Jiangxi, and it has not been interrupted for five years."

"Really?"

Jiangxi?

"Where is Wu Chongmin's ancestral home?"

"Back to Your Majesty, he himself is from Jiangxi."

Shen Shiqing nodded.

A thousand households from Jiangxi can not only mobilize a guard that is far superior to that of a domestic servant in Yanjing, but also set up such a luxurious battle at home.

Also, the poison that can make people die like a colic.

"A chicken."

"The Emperor?"

"Ning Anbo Mansion, what's going on now?"
