The Queen's Secret

"Show her in!"

Qi Yu's heart suddenly felt a little numb. Hearing Zhao Muyan recruit people in openly, although they are no longer sticky together, just now...

Footsteps came, Tang Yirou walked in wearing a dark blue palace robe, there was still no court lady by her side, she never liked to bring maids with her when she went out, she was used to it at the border, and she was not used to being followed after returning to Beijing, so Tang Yuan let her go .

As soon as Tang Yirou came in, she saw Qi Yuxin, but there was no emotion on her face, not even a look of surprise...

Qi Yu frowned, the eldest princess knew that she was in Fengxi Palace?

"See Your Royal Highness the Princess."

Qi Yu heartily bowed to Tang Yirou, Tang Yirou just said softly: "No need"

It's just that she didn't salute Zhao Muyan, she seemed to be used to it, and the two of them didn't find it strange, but Qi Yu who was at the side thought it was strange...

Although Tang Yirou is the eldest princess of the dynasty, shouldn't she also salute Zhao Muyan?

"I don't know why the eldest princess came to find me?"

Zhao Muyan looked up at Tang Yirou, and saw that her face was gloomy, and it didn't look like a good thing.

"Catch the director together, you should step back first!"

Qi Yu listened intently, as if he had been granted an amnesty, but before leaving, he still looked at Zhao Muyan reluctantly.

"Weichen will take his leave first."

Qi Yuxin left Zhao Muyan's bedroom in this way, and Zhao Muyan turned to look at Tang Yirou who had been silent all along.

"what's up?"

Zhao Muyan asked, Tang Yirou sneered and said, "One day I only know to hang out with your little lover, do you know what happened in the court?"

Zhao Muyan's eyes turned cold, and he asked, "What?"

"Brother Eight Emperors is more powerful than we imagined. In the court today, apart from a few minor officials reporting unimportant matters, there is not a single official with five jewels or above who speaks. Prime Minister Zhao and An Shanglang are on a business trip. Outside, in the early morning, there was no sound."

After Zhao Muyan heard this, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold arc, and he said, "Do you want to protest against us? Tang Zongyan really doesn't shy away from it at all... Where is Tang Yuan? Are you mad at him?"

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, Tang Yirou gave her a white look and said, "Do you think Brother Huang is so useless to become this ninth-five venerable?"

Zhao Muyan smiled and didn't speak...he's really a bit useless...

"He intimidated those officials, saying that if they had nothing to report, they would have nothing to do, and if they wanted to let go of their official positions, they said something one after another, but it didn't matter at all."

After Tang Yirou finished speaking, she felt angry in her heart. If she were, she would definitely take tougher measures and severely punish these arrogant officials.

"Why are you so angry?"

Although Zhao Muyan and Tang Yirou were of the same type, Tang Yirou was a member of the royal family after all. When encountering such a thing, she was naturally more excited than her.

"Can you not be angry?"

Tang Yirou has the arrogance of a royal family, how can she bear this kind of uselessness.

"Since the courtier has not fulfilled the accusation of the courtier, he should be punished."

Zhao Muyan's fingers tapped the smooth tabletop, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, and Tang Yirou looked at Zhao Muyan's smile, and the anger in her heart was suddenly swept away, she knew that this woman must have thought of herself.

"Except for Four Jewels Officer, Prime Minister Zhao and An Shanglang yesterday, the rest of us...let's contribute to the Southern Kingdom!"

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, Tang Yirou smiled and said, "Old fox."

"Each each other."

Zhao Muyan shrugged, she didn't think Tang Yirou couldn't think of such a thing, but she just came to consult herself to see if it was feasible.

"One more thing."

Tang Yirou took a sip of tea, looked up at Zhao Muyan, Zhao Muyan gave a 'tsk' and said, "Why are there so many things going on?"

"An Yuan, this woman doesn't know what method she used to keep Brother Huang going to her place."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Muyan frowned, and said with a smile: "Where does your brother like to go, what does it matter to me?"

She really didn't care where Tang Yuan went, but An Yuan, a woman who used tricks to get the emperor to go to her, must be uneasy and kind.

"An Yuan met Qi Yuxin privately."

"I know."

How could every move in the palace escape her eyes? It was because An Yuan had met Qi Yuxin that she couldn't find An Yuan for what to do for the time being. If she did, it might make things more complicated.

"When did you become so hesitant?"

Tang Yirou teased Zhao Muyan, she had never seen this woman hesitate so much in the harem.

"Isn't it the same for you? You can understand me after going to the border for two years for a woman and enduring yourself for two years among men."

Zhao Muyan didn't say much, she and Tang Yirou were so similar that they hated each other a bit, but more of it was the feeling of cherishing heroes and valuing heroes.

"In short, An Yuan should be able to come up with some moths, and you can figure it out."

Tang Yirou didn't want to pay too much attention to the affairs of the harem. After all, she didn't like the intrigue between women. Zhao Muyan was much better than her in this regard. Among women, she was really skilled.

After Tang Yirou left, Zhao Muyan went to find Tang Yuan and Tang Qi in person...

the next day...

Southland, imperial palace, old case room.

"Have you heard of it?"

When Meng Ganfu walked to the old case room, he started chatting with great interest. Lin Qingxuan was eating melon seeds, while Qi Yuxin was sitting upright, reading the old case report.

"what?"

Lin Qingxuan looked at Meng Gan curiously, still chewing on the melon seeds in his mouth.

"Today there is an imperial list."

Meng Gan also saw it when he went to the old case room, and the people praised it...

At this time, Qi Yuxin's gaze also shifted from the book to Meng Gan, obviously she was also interested.

"The emperor list said that the Eighth Emperor will donate 500 million taels of gold to the treasury to fill the treasury..."

When Qi Yu heard this, she raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly...

Five million taels of gold... The Eighth Emperor is really going to lose his vitality... Unexpectedly, Tang Yuan is so ruthless... However, it should be necessary for other people to offer advice, and one of them must be Zhao Muyan.

"Interesting…"

Qi Yu knew that Tang Yuan would deal with the Eighth Emperor, but he never thought of attacking him from his pocket. This would kill two birds with one stone, attacking the Eighth Emperor and filling the treasury.

"It's not over yet, Sister Yuxin!"

Meng Gan became more and more enthusiastic, and continued: "The emperor's list says that officials with five jewels and above in Beijing have donated two months' salary in order to follow suit!"

Qi Yuxin felt more interesting at this moment. When did the atmosphere in the court become so generous?

"Pfft... Isn't Tao Sect Master going to pay for the money?"

Lin Qingxuan thought of Master Tao at first, but Meng Gan immediately shook his head and said, "No, only officials who went to the early court would do this, Master Tao doesn't need to..."

Meng Gan also felt curious, why only officials in the early court donated?

"...appears to be targeted."

Qi Yu smiled lightly, she didn't understand the court affairs, but there must be a reason for what happened, she didn't have to guess, some things will soon reveal the truth.

The southern kingdom, the imperial palace, the court...

Today, every official is frowning, a little confused, so Tang Yuan enjoyed watching the appearance of all living beings.

"If you have something to play, if you have nothing to go back to the court—"

The eunuch's sharp voice came, and everyone came back to their senses in their own minds. At this time, an official came up and said, "Your Majesty, today the emperor's list is posted all over the streets of the capital, saying that officials with five or more pearls are waiting for you." Will donate two months' salary to fill the treasury, I don't know if it is true or not?"

"My minister also dared to seek to know about this matter."

"Sir too!"

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this matter?"

Another official came out, and this scene was much more lively than yesterday.

Tang Yuan saw one or two people who came out to speak because they were worried about their money bags, Tang Yuan sneered, but before he could speak, the crown prince took a step forward and said, "Your majesty, I have something to say."

"Say."

Tang Qi turned around and looked at the officials who were clasping their hands and daring to raise their heads. He sneered and said, "I didn't see you adults being so active yesterday morning, but with only two months' salary, this court hall became as noisy as a street selling vegetables in the capital. , what is the system?!"

Although Tang Qi is young, he speaks loudly. He usually likes to mess around with Zhao Muyan and make her angry, but he remembers what Zhao Muyan said in his heart and uses it very skillfully.

It was Zhao Muyan's intention to ask him to speak out, it was time for him to establish his prestige in the court, and everyone knew that Tang Yuan trained himself, and what he said was what Tang Yuan wanted to say, who would dare not follow?

"Prince calm down!"

"Prince calm down!"

It was the first time to see the young crown prince uttering such serious words, and the officials who were accustomed to comfort were inadvertently startled, and they knelt down one after another, begging the crown prince to appease his anger.

Tang Qi didn't intend to let them go, he stood with his hands behind his back, his face was upright, not angry, but powerful without anger, he had the demeanor of a king.

"Do you blame your father for making this decision without discussing it with you?"

Tang Qi sneered, all the management kneeling down did not dare to say anything, but they looked like they were being talked about, with grievances and dissatisfaction written all over their faces.

"Yesterday, the royal father asked you what to report, but no one answered? Since you have nothing to discuss with the royal father, then the royal father does not need to discuss things with you, are you right?"

After Tang Qi finished speaking, the officials were already covered in cold sweat, and lowered their heads not daring to look at the prince. At this moment, an official raised his head and said, "I really have no political affairs to report. I will not accept such a punishment!"

"Dissatisfied?"

Tang Qi walked towards the man slowly, but the man's confidence just now seemed to be gone suddenly, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Tang Qi.

"Chen Shaolang, you are in charge of reporting in Ji'an City and nearby towns and counties. Dozens of people died of freezing and starvation in Ji'an City two days ago. Why didn't you report it? Do you think human lives don't matter, or do you have to wait until the death toll exceeds a hundred before you report? Can you declare more money for disaster relief?"

Tang Qi can see through many things, and Zhao Muyan wants her to read the memorials and documents of officials every day. He has kept many things in his heart, but he doesn't talk about them on weekdays. This time, under the instruction of Tang Yuan and Zhao Muyan, He could speak freely.

That Chen Shaolang was speechless for a moment, he didn't know that Tang Qi had such a deterrent power...

I don't even know why the matter of Ji'an City would be known to this person.

moment…

The court has fallen into dead silence...everyone is in danger...
