Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

In spring, something happened that caused an uproar among the students.

That is, after the palace examination, some students complained before the emperor.

He accused Jiangnan Academic Affairs Jia Simin of taking advantage of his power and colluding with others to persecute Zhou Qi, the real Jie Yuan of this year, so that Yu Xiangzi of the Yu family, a prominent local family, replaced Zhou Qi's name as Jie Yuan.

If this is true, Jia Simin is simply audacious and unforgivable.

Enke is a major matter of recruiting talents for the country. If the government of a place is for personal gain, he would dare to change the government at will. There is nothing in the world that he dare not do.

Yu Xiangzi was ranked ninth in Enke's second-level competition this time. His results were not outstanding, but they were by no means too bad.

Naturally, he could not accept the accusation, and he almost got into a fight with the student who accused him.

The two of them had a heated argument in the palace. Just listening to their debate, it seemed that both of them had certain truths, but no one could provide detailed evidence and could not distinguish the truth from the false.

As a last resort, the examiner Lin Haoming stood up and stopped him: "Stop arguing, this matter is of great importance, but neither of you can produce strong evidence, so we can only wait for the imperial envoy to go investigate.

Jian Ruojie, if you file a complaint, if it is found to be a false accusation, not only will all your fame be removed, but you will also be sentenced to three thousand miles of exile, do you know?"

"Sir, the student knows that the student is willing to risk his or her career and fame to expose Jia Xuezheng's dirty face." Jian Ruozhi answered with a stiff neck.

"In this case, you two will not be appointed or leave the capital for the time being. We will discuss everything after the truth is found out."

This matter has been settled for the time being, but the emperor has not yet decided who to send to investigate.

After Ruan Qing heard about this, he immediately recommended himself to the emperor and said that he would go to Jiangnan to investigate.

She had planned to go to Jiangnan in the near future.

Women's Association and Huayan Pavilion have established a firm foothold in the capital, and it's time to consider opening a branch.

And the most suitable place is the river with rich literary style and richness.

It’s March in spring, so it’s the perfect time to travel.

She wrote down the methods of growing sweet potatoes and making nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from earth in detail and gave them to Cui Zhiqing.

The matter of asking people to search for guano accumulated in the mountains and forests to raise fields was also explained.

As for the other things, she doesn't need to worry about it. Cui Zhiqing is a capable official. Let professional people do professional things.

Everything that needs to be done for the time being has been explained. Everything is ready for heading to Jiangnan, except for the wind.

After all, it is not easy for a queen mother of a country to leave Beijing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I fell asleep, a pillow was delivered to my door.

"Mother, as the queen mother of a country, your status is so precious, how can you leave the capital casually?" After hearing this, the emperor refused almost without thinking.

It is true that the mother is capable, but since she entered the palace at the age of twelve, she has never left the capital and has no experience of living outside.

In addition, in recent months, he had offended many people in order to help him. Once he left the capital, the danger would be immeasurable.

He has not forgotten the assassination that occurred during the Lantern Festival, although the assassination did not cause any waves.

If we want to investigate Jasmine, there is no need for the queen mother to take action.

"Why not? Anyway, the imperial court wants to send imperial envoys, and whoever is sent is not a sentient. The Ai family quietly left the capital incognito, and it is not easy to attract people's attention.

After all, no one would have thought that the queen mother of a country would subdue Jiangnan. " Ruan Qing raised his eyebrows.

"That's different. Mother, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. The imperial envoys are investigating the case. The risk is extremely high. If Jia Simin is really replaced by Jie Yuan, he will definitely be involved. He is not the only one involved.

As the Queen Mother of a country, how can you take this risk? "The emperor refused to agree.

"What does it mean that a rich man cannot sit down in court? If people of our status just sit high in the palaces of the imperial city and have no idea of ​​the actual situation outside, how can we govern the country well?

No matter which dynasty or generation the emperor wants to govern the country well, he must go among the people, understand the real people's sentiments, and understand local officials.

Otherwise, why have emperors traveled incognito in all dynasties?

The Ai family went to Jiangnan on behalf of the imperial envoy. In addition to investigating the case, they could also explore the people's sentiments.

If you have a prince to supervise the country, it would be better for you, the emperor, to do this.

The problem is that you are still young and do not have an adult prince yet, so you have no one to help you carry your burdens.

Therefore, this matter of observing public sentiment in secret can only be done by your mother. While your mother is still young and her legs and feet are still nimble, she can help you run for a year or two.

In a few years, when I'm older, I won't be able to help even if I want to. "

Ruan Qing played the emotional card with the emperor sincerely.

Sure enough, the emperor was still young and was no match for Ruan Qing, a veteran in the workplace.

His eyes were reddened by her sensational words.

After a moment of silence, the emperor said: "My son is unfilial and I need my mother to worry about everything.

If you really want to go, your son won't stop you. When your son goes to Lin Qing and the others, they will discuss the details and see who should be arranged to accompany him..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ruan Qing: "Stop, incognito, incognito, do you understand?

Can you help me arrange a bunch of guards and accompanying officials to be called incognito? That was called the southern tour with great fanfare.

When the Queen Mother of a country takes so many people on a tour to the south, what kind of people's sentiments can she understand? What cases are found?

Besides, the national treasury is so poor, and it takes so many people to the south of the Yangtze River, it means that they are full and have nothing to do, and they add burdens to the people out of thin air.

You don't have to arrange anything, I'll just bring Liang Fan, Zhao Ping, Yang San, and a few secret guards.

If you are really worried, send a smart official from the Ministry of Justice to accompany you. "

"No, if the queen only takes these few people with her, my son will never let you leave the capital." The emperor quit.

The mother and son refused to give in. Later, Lin Haoming found out. He thought for a while and came up with a compromise plan: "Let me accompany the Queen Mother for a while, and then I will send a few good men from the Imperial Guard to accompany me.

Since Jian Ruozhi staked her own future to sue Jasmine, this matter must be investigated clearly.

As the chief examiner of Enke and the chief officer of the Criminal Department, Chen is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. "

"Okay, no." Ruan Qing and the emperor spoke at the same time.

The mother and son looked at each other, then looked away at the same time.

"Mother, Minister Lin is right. He is the most suitable person to come forward in this case. It just so happens that the mother wants to understand the public sentiment on behalf of her son. It just so happens that you two go to Jiangnan together..." The emperor spoke first.

It is a lie that the queen mother wants to act as the imperial envoy, but it is true that she wants to go to Jiangnan.

Don't think he doesn't know that the Queen Mother has slipped out of the palace countless times in the past few months.

Of course, with the mother's ability, if she really goes to Jiangnan, there will definitely be no problem in tracking down Jia Siqi.

But no one followed him, and he was really worried.

"Emperor, Minister Lin is so prestigious that it would be easy for him to come forward and scare others." Ruan Qing frowned.

Lin Haoming is too smart, and it is not convenient for him to do anything with him around.

Although the two parties have worked together several times, and each time the cooperation was very tacit, but that was when there were major things to deal with.

As she was traveling privately in private now, she didn't want to have such a person by her side.

The most important thing is that it is rare to travel far away, and she wants to stay in Jiangnan for a while.

"I can disguise myself so that no one will recognize me." Lin Haoming replied calmly.

With constant dealings in the past few months, he naturally has a certain understanding of Ruan Qing.

The Queen Mother wanted to go to Jiangnan at this time, mostly to expand the Women's Association and Huayan Pavilion, and at the same time she also wanted to see the scenery of Jiangnan.

There was nothing wrong with her wanting to go to Jiangnan, but with only a few people around, he strongly disagreed.

Many of the aristocratic families in Beijing who were suppressed by her had resentment towards her. Whenever something happened, there was really no place to cry.

In less than a year after the new emperor came to power, he had reorganized the court into such a state. To put it bluntly, it was all the work of the Queen Mother.

Let me tell you something that a minister should not say. At this stage, you can live without a new emperor, but you cannot live without a queen mother.
