At that time, the head of the Fang family, as the powerful minister of the former emperor, did not hesitate to offend many officials to investigate the border, and the Fang family was destroyed, but he still did not find out the truth for so many years.

Or maybe they have found out the truth but don't want to say it.

"This son has an extraordinary bearing, but he is a fresh face."

The first emperor looked at Fang Huai and said, and Huo Zhao on the side hurriedly helped round the field.

"This is a distant relative of my Huo family, who has been living abroad since childhood, and I only found it in the past few years, because I like swordsmanship on weekdays, so I took him under my command."

If the emperor knew that the person in front of him was surnamed Fang, he didn't know what his reaction would be, whether it was guilt or joy, no one knows.

"I see, you'll be up to you to play the sword at next year's birthday party.

It can be regarded as a recognition of him.

"Obey."

The first emperor turned his head to look at Jiang Xueyan again, he was extremely interested in this girl who was clamoring to be a female general.

"You are the only daughter of the Jiang family who threatened to be a female general?"

The first emperor smiled and quipped, after all, after so many years, there are few female officials in this court, let alone female generals.

"The emperor laughed."

Jiang Xueyan bowed slightly, and then spoke again.

"But I will definitely become a female general."

There was no hint of joke in his words, he was very sure, and the emperor laughed loudly when he heard it.

"Good! Then I'll wait and see, Jiang Qing, you really raised a good daughter. ”

At this moment, the attendant on the side came to report.

"General, there is an urgent report in the northwest, please go home quickly."

So Huo Zhao took Xu Song and Fang Huai to retire first.

As soon as the front foot left, the third prince Xie Qingfeng came.

"Father, hasn't my eldest brother been found yet?"

Just broke in like this, it seemed that he was really in a hurry, he had always been closest to Xie Lanzhou, and now he heard that his whereabouts were unknown, so he hurried over to ask the emperor.

As soon as I came in, I saw Jiang Mingshan's father and daughter, to be precise, I only saw Jiang Xueyan.

She was wearing a white dress, light yarn scattered on the ground at will, light blue peonies were embroidered on the cuffs, and silver threads outlined a few auspicious clouds.

The face is beautiful and vulgar, but it is unbelievably beautiful, the eyebrows are like distant mountains, and the eyes are like stars.

The eyes are like water, but with a touch of coldness, it seems to be able to see through everything, ten fingers are delicate, the skin is like congealed fat, and the snow white is pink.

"I didn't know there was such a beautiful girl in this palace."

blurted out the words, and then felt that it was inappropriate, and quickly apologized slightly.

"It's abrupt, I hope Miss doesn't care."

And Jiang Xueyan was praised so straightforwardly by a man for the first time, and her face was a little hot unconsciously.

"It doesn't matter."

The first emperor was a little surprised, his third son, on weekdays, was only a person who could only fiddle with those pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings, and he had never been close to women.

A few years ago, he was introduced to the daughters of many ministers, but none of them were in his eyes, but today it is very strange, so he quipped.

"Third child, it's the first time I've heard you praise a girl as a father."

Jiang Xueyan on the side felt that her face was about to turn red to the root of her ears, it turned out that it was like to be praised for her good looks, she thought in her heart.

I have been mixed with those mountain bandits since I was a child, and I rarely dress up like this.

"Father, don't make fun of me."

The first emperor waved his hand to let Jiang Mingshan's father and daughter retreat first, and when he left, Xie Qingfeng still looked at Jiang Xueyan's back and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Hey, don't look at it, everyone is far away."

The Emperor said with a smile.

"Ah, father, I came to ask if there is any news of my eldest brother? Why is it rumored that his whereabouts are unknown? ”

The first emperor was a little puzzled, only Xie Wushuang came to tell him about this matter at that time, and there was also the queen mother, and there was no one else.

Now that even the third child knows, I'm afraid someone is maliciously spreading this matter.

"Don't worry, with your eldest brother's talents, you'll be safe."

He was also comforting himself with this, or maybe he didn't want to believe it now.

At this time, the old slave beside the emperor came to pass the word.

"The first emperor of Qiqi, the third prince, in front of the palace, hundreds of people collectively beat the drum, complaining that the grain distributed by the granary is inferior and pitiful."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor frowned suddenly, the grain in this granary should not be like this, and now the people are collectively redressing their grievances, which shows that they are really desperate.

The third prince was also at a loss, this granary had hoarded food for a year or two, how could it be like this.

"You summoned Zhao Shuaibing, the head of the household department, to me."

The emperor waved his hand and said to the old slave.

"Yes."

So he asked the third prince to go back first, saying that Xie Lanzhou would tell him if there was any news.

Soon Zhao Shuaibing rushed over.

"Zhao Qing, do you know about the granary?"

The emperor went straight to the point, and he didn't hide it.

Zhao Shuaibing knelt down directly when he heard this, of course he knew that he knew what Yu Shen had done before opening the warehouse and releasing grain, but because he was the prime minister, he had to endure it until now.

"The first emperor, the minister has the courage to ask you to dispose of the prime minister!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor was a little puzzled, but then he understood.

"Get up and speak."

"Since Prime Minister Yu had the right to take charge of the household department, he has privately hoarded the grain in the barn, leaving only some shoddy ones, which are not enough to survive the winter."

Zhao Shuaibing finally said all these things, he didn't say that he was suffering from no evidence, and he was the prime minister.

"Zhao Qing, do you have any evidence?"

Although the emperor also knew that Yu Shen had done a lot of bad things on weekdays, he always made people unable to catch the handle.

The minister has already listed all the details of the grain in and out of the treasury, and it is difficult for him not to admit it. Besides, there are so many ministers who are greedy with him. ”

Zhao Shuai had long expected that this would be the case after the opening of the warehouse and the release of grain, so he sorted out the evidence as early as possible.

The first emperor frowned, now is not a good time.

"It's... But now that Jiang Hanfeng's incident has just passed, if I deal with him now, then what face should I face the people of this country. ”

It is not unreasonable for the emperor to say this, now that the northwest has just been calmed down, the autumn harvest is not ideal, and the governor of the armory has been martyred and perverted the law, if the prime minister is punished at this time, then this precept is not equivalent to child's play?

Zhao Shuaibing also knew the concerns of the emperor, so he stopped talking.

"For now, you and I will hide this matter first, and I will order someone to find out the place where he embezzled the grain, and first alleviate the urgent needs of the people, and you will scatter all the food eaten by the royal family."

"Emperor, this..."

Zhao Shuaibing was a little surprised and a little overwhelmed.

"It doesn't matter, how many people can be in this palace, and how much they can eat, they shouldn't be superior, and it's good to appease the people."

"Obey."
