Xue Mu himself didn't expect to be praised by the Empress of Great Xia thousands of miles away.

By mistake, he put Cao Peizheng, the head of the ministry, into prison.

And the military aircraft department of the Great Xia Kingdom can also take the opportunity to arrange undercover agents for the officials.

It can be regarded as an unintentional willow and willow shady.

But Xue Mu, who was the number one hero, naturally didn't know about it.

Originally, he just wanted to solve the case of Beiquhe.

It's just that Cao Peizheng was brought in.

His heart is still firmly in the Daqing Dynasty.

After all, his status as a hundred households now, although his official position is only seven grades, is already very remarkable.

If he is promoted to one or two rank officials in the future and his strength is strengthened, then no one will be able to threaten his life.

Except, of course, for that unjust master.

"I hope that unjust master won't look for me recently."

On the other side, the second prince Zhao Chengqian was walking with Du Youkang, the servant of the ministry.

Du Youkang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Today, above the court, His Royal Highness King Kang really has the courage to donate one-third of his family property, and the officials admire him." ”

After Zhao Chengqian heard this, he laughed: "Lord Du, you naturally know that my father will not agree to this excerpt. ”

When Du Youkang heard this, he smiled awkwardly: "Eh"

The second prince, Zhao Chengqian, continued: "Actually, the plan of Lord Jiangzuo of the Hubu Shangshu is the suggestion of the imperial aunt Princess Changle, and I guess Lord Du must have guessed it. ”

"yes, yes." Du Youkang added: "When Lord Xu was the official of the Household Department and became the head of the Household Department, the excerpts and plans of the entire Household Department were implemented at the suggestion of the eldest princess. ”

"It's a pity" Du Youkang also showed a regretful expression: "Later, Lord Xu was too strong, he knew that the policy of taxation and land was a scar that His Majesty could not uncover, he had to mention it, otherwise he would not be demoted to the head of the household department, and finally fell into a charge of corruption." ”

"How?"

Zhao Chengqian asked rhetorically: "Does Lord Du think that Lord Xu was wronged?" ”

Du Youkang's face changed suddenly.

Of course, he can't say that Xu Jie's was wronged!

Because this order was given by His Majesty himself!

If you doubt it, won't that prove Your Majesty wrong?

It's all under heaven.

Whoever is wrong can do it.

But only one person can't.

That is the Son of Heaven today.

Du Youkang hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, Xia Guan just thinks. We haven't been able to arrange manpower on the household side, in the final analysis, this Jiang Zuojiang Shangshu and the eldest princess are too close. ”

The second prince, Zhao Chengqian, said calmly: "Don't worry, I believe my good big brother will make a move." ”

As he spoke, he stood on the steps and looked back at the Fengtian Temple.

The dragon chair on top of it was golden.

Sparkling.

It's dazzling.

And in Zhao Chengqian's eyes, there seemed to be an expression of imperativeness.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, slow down!"

I saw the eldest prince Zhao Ji hurriedly returning to the palace.

The servant behind him followed all the way, shouting incessantly.

Zhao Ji returned to the front hall and poured the teapot into his mouth.

Unfortunately, there was no water in the kettle.

He was so angry that he put it down, and then went to get the cup.

As a result, there was no water in the cup.

Zhao Ji was so angry that he threw the teapot and teacup on the ground, and scolded angrily: "The huge Jingwang Mansion doesn't even have saliva!" Are the others dead?! ”

This frightened the other servants to their knees.

Someone even immediately brought a teapot from the next room, holding it with trembling hands.

At this moment, a richly dressed woman came over under two maids.

As early as just now, she heard that her husband Zhao Ji was mad.

"Your Highness, it's the negligence of the concubines, it's none of their business." The woman saluted Zhao Ji and said politely.

When Zhao Ji saw it, his anger disappeared a little.

He sat down on his own and drank water without stopping.

At this time, the woman motioned to the others and asked them to retreat, and she came behind Zhao Ji, rubbed his shoulders and said, "Your Highness, did you encounter something unpleasant?" You can talk to the concubine, and the concubine will help you come up with ideas. ”

Zhao Ji touched his concubine Xia Ji and said, "Alas, love concubine, this king is sorry for you." ”

"Why did Your Highness say this?" Natsuhime asked.

"Huo Jiuchuan I arranged was found to be corrupt and colluded with the local landlord by the imperial aunt, as the prefect of Youzhou, he also had some relationship with your family at the beginning, but now that he has been found out, this king can only."

At this time, Xia Ji took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, this kind of person doesn't have to pity him, you can't be lawless just because this is a person from my family, you should cut the grass, and the concubine supports you." ”

Zhao Ji didn't expect his concubine to be so decisive, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Concubine Ai can think like this, this king will be much easier, don't worry, he will wait for me to ascend the throne one day, I will let the whole world know that you are the best mother of a country in Daqing." ”

Xia Ji also smiled: "Actually, the concubine doesn't want to be the mother of a country, the concubine only wants Her Royal Highness to be happy, and she can't keep a straight face, otherwise she will grow old quickly." ”

"Good, good." Zhao Ji also laughed: "Then it's up to you." ”

"Your Highness, the imperial aunt seems to be targeting us everywhere in the past six months."

When Zhao Ji heard this, his face also changed: "Well, I don't understand what the imperial aunt means, I originally thought that she would help me deal with the second child and help me ascend the throne, but in the past six months, the people around me have been dragged into the water by her." ”

Xia Ji listened, and she said tentatively: "Your Highness, why don't I go to see the imperial aunt another day, bring her some jewelry, and by the way, pull our relationship." ”

"She doesn't care about jewelry." Zhao Ji shook his head.

He knew this imperial aunt too well.

Oil and salt do not enter.

The main thing is to be diligent in government affairs!

But Xia Ji still said: "Oh, all the women in the world are the same, how can anyone not love treasures and jewelry, and I see that the imperial aunt's age has also arrived, and I have not found a proud person, I entered the palace this time, just to help the imperial aunt take a look, ask her what kind of man she likes." ”

"Although my imperial aunt is as old as you, she has never touched the slightest love between men and women, I think you must have gone in vain this time."

"Try it, it's man-made."

The eldest prince Zhao Ji was in a much better mood after the princess coaxed her.

Then he went to the study and wrote a letter.

"Lin'er!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The maid outside the door immediately walked in.

"Bring the pigeons in."

"Yes!"

After a while, a pigeon flew out of King Jing's mansion.

The eldest princess returned to the dormitory.

As soon as she sat down, the maidservant beside her handed her the cup.

Zhao Ruoli took a sip, and then said, "Is Master Jiang here?" ”

"Master Jiang is outside the hall." The maidservant Qing'er replied.

"Let him in." The eldest princess Zhao Ruoli responded.

"Yes."

Qing'er came to the door and said respectfully, "Lord Jiang, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked you to come in." ”

"Good."

Tobe Shangshu Jiangzuo wiped the sweat on his forehead, hurriedly lifted the hem of his clothes, and walked in.

"Xiaguan pays a visit to the eldest princess."

The eldest princess Zhao Ruoli raised her hand at this time and signaled: "Lord Jiang is exempt, sit down." ”

Jiang Zuo immediately sat down and said with some uneasiness: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this time Your Majesty did not promise to save the expenses of the harem and various officials. ”

Zhao Ruoli seems to have guessed her brother's personality a long time ago.

If he is allowed to save the expenses of the harem, it is better to kill a few corrupt officials and raid the house.

But she just wanted Jiang Zuo to make this suggestion.

And it has to be mentioned.

That's the only way.

She can tell about the corruption in Youzhou and other northern and eastern places.

Then His Majesty will follow the pole and let Zhao Ji be in charge of the silver taels for this relief.

This million taels.

She believed that her good nephew Zhao Ji would do a good job of raiding the homes of those corrupt officials.

Otherwise, if it is not enough, you can only pay from yourself.

The eldest princess Zhao Ruoli immediately said calmly: "It's okay, no matter what, this million relief should be able to be gathered." ”

"Will His Royal Highness King Jing really get it together?" Jiang Zuo said tentatively.

Zhao Ruoli smiled: "Don't worry, he will definitely make it up, ten days later, you can ask him for silver taels, but at the same time, find Lord Yanguan Sun, and let him prepare another fold." ”

"What excerpt?"

"Impeach His Royal Highness King Kang, the second prince, Zhao Chengqian."

When Jiang Zuo heard this, his eyes widened in fright.

At this time, Mu Guifei Nangong Wei was waiting at the gate of the palace.

As early as just now, Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin went straight to Penglai Palace.

Before entering the dormitory, Nangong Wei, who got the news, greeted her at the door early.

After seeing Zhao Hongyin, everyone on the side knelt down and bowed.

Mu Guifei Nangong Wei also saluted: "The concubine pays a visit to Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Hongyin smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "No courtesy." ”

"Your Majesty~ Why are you here?" Nangong Wei stepped forward and asked.

Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin explained: "I just went to the early dynasty, and I have nothing to do, so I came to take a look." ”

"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, but beware of the Holy Sacrament." Nangong Wei replied.

Then Zhao Hongyin asked, "What has Concubine Ai been doing in this harem recently?" ”

"What can the concubine do but enjoy the flowers, look at the birds, and then look forward to the arrival of His Majesty." Nangong Wei said and looked at it with an aggrieved look.

Zhao Hongyin smiled: "I'm not here now, it seems that Concubine Ai is bored in this harem." ”

"Not exactly, my niece came to see me a few days ago." Nangong Wei explained.

Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin recalled and asked, "Is it the thousand households of the Divine Capture Division, Nangong Xue?" ”

"Yes, her father, that is, my eldest brother, was the first deputy commander of the Divine Capture Division established by His Majesty." Nangong Wei replied.

Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin pretended to suddenly realize: "I have an impression, I remember that Nangong Qi's wife was killed, which also caused him to be semi-crazy later." ”

"Yes, the child's mother was gone, his father was crazy, and I was half her father." Nangong Wei sighed.

Zhao Hongyin comforted: "The concubine is also kind-hearted. ”

"When she was chatting with me the other day, she kept mentioning a man who was also in the Divine Catcher." Nangong Wei said at this time: "The concubine guessed that the girl would like the man, so the concubine specially asked him to enter the palace yesterday to have a look." ”

"Oh? And here's the thing. Although Zhao Hongyin was surprised, it seemed that he had already known about it in his eyes.

Nangong Wei nodded: "The concubine looked at that kid, it was too similar, it was exactly the same as my eldest brother back then, it's a pity."

"What a pity?" Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin asked rhetorically.

"It's a pity that he can't see with his eyes, he is blind, and he has no father and no mother, I thought about it, so I simply recognized him as a nephew, and then I matched the two of them into a pair." Nangong Wei replied.

Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin smiled: "Since this is the case, then it's okay, if they are a couple in the future, they can often come to accompany you, and it will save you boredom." ”

"Your Majesty is fulfilled~"

After chatting for a while, Zhao Hongyin left.

"Your Majesty, be careful, pay more attention to the Holy Sacrament." Nangong Wei advised.

After Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin walked out of the palace, he asked the eunuch behind him, "Is it really invisible?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the man who came to Niangniang's dormitory yesterday is indeed invisible, and he is indeed the newly promoted hundred households of the Divine Capture Division." The little eunuch whispered.

After hearing this, Zhao Hongyin nodded and said, "Since this is the case, this man will not have to be monitored in the future." ”

"Nangong Qi couldn't stand you back then, and I will fulfill your daughter and future uncle."

After speaking, he also glanced at the sky, and then ordered someone to go back to Zichen Palace.

As for the Penglai Palace, after observing the maid Yun'er, she returned to the hall and said to Nangong Wei: "Niangniang, Your Majesty is gone." ”

"yes, got it." Nangong Wei said calmly.

She actually guessed that His Majesty would come.

But I didn't expect it to be so fast.

Now that he is honest, he must have no problem in the future, even if Nangong Xue and Xue Mu come to their own bedroom.

For more than a year, Nangong Wei has rarely seen Emperor Qing.

But I also learned from the mouths of other concubines and sisters that Zhao Hongyin was suspicious by nature.

So if you want to break his suspicion, then you have to turn passivity into initiative.

Take the initiative to confess, and what you play is real.

She knows it too.

The reason why I can be a concubine.

It's because of her eldest brother.

At the beginning, His Majesty ordered Nangong Qi to hunt down and kill the remnants of Murong Jin's comrades, but he was killed by those people.

In the end, Nangong Xue's mother was killed by thieves in order to protect herself and Xue'er.

It's just that she hasn't told Nangong Xue about this.

Nangong Wei was worried that if she told her about this, it was very likely that Nangong Xue would transfer this hatred to Emperor Qing.

She knew that going against the court would not end well.

"Xue'er, my aunt has no way to help you take revenge, and she can't find those remnants of the Demon Sect, so she can only make you happier on weekdays as much as possible."

As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but moisten

Since the case of Beiquhe was solved, Xue Mu has also been a lot easier.

Now in the Divine Capture Division, everyone admires him very much.

Especially that night, one person captured four rough men and determined the direction of the case.

It is even more admirable.

Just when Xue Mu thought that he could continue to fish, the fisher who was guarding the D-level cell came to the Divine Fishing Division in a hurry.

"Xue Baihu! Oh no! ”

Xue Mu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Zuo Yuheng is shouting loudly in prison to find you."

Xue Mu smiled: "It's impossible for him to say that he wants to find me, I'll go, right?" Let's go again tomorrow. ”

With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

When he heard this, he could only say embarrassedly: "He will go to the execution ground tomorrow." ”

"What?!" Xue Mu was shocked: "Tomorrow? ”

He knew that it stands to reason that Zuo Yuheng should go to the execution ground after the beginning of spring, why did he advance so much?!

Zhu Kuai shook his head: "I don't know, what Lord Nangong said is indeed going to the execution ground tomorrow." ”

After Xue Mu heard this, his emotions slowly calmed down.

On the contrary, he was even happier.

As soon as Zuo Yuheng died, then he was wronged.

He then said, "Okay, then I'll go first." ”

"Xue Baihu, are you going to the prison?"

"No, no."

"And where are you going?"

"It's worth it, I'm in a good mood today, go have a little wine, and tease."

Catch Kuai looked puzzled behind him.

"Tease. Amuse. Force? What is it? ”
