After returning to the palace, the imperial physician re-examined Chen Ling's wound. The leading old imperial physician stared at his shoulder and frowned, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, why are you so careless? Torn apart."

Chen Ling just smiled weakly and didn't answer.

The imperial physician prescribed some blood-nourishing medicine for him, telling Chen Ling not to walk around for a few days, and to lie on the bed to recuperate.Although there is no need to lie down for a hundred days if there is no injury to the muscles and bones, it is better to do less activity within ten days and a half.

"What's the matter, didn't you say that the wound was opened by yourself, why did the imperial doctor say it was torn apart?" Jiang Chi asked after the imperial doctor left.He sat on the edge of the bed, tucking in a thin blanket for Chen Ling, with a very ordinary tone, without any intention of questioning.

Naturally, Chen Ling couldn't tell Jiang Chi about Qin Shan's appearance, so he thought about it and told a little lie, "I moved my arm unintentionally, and I accidentally pulled the wound."

After a pause, Jiang Chi glanced at Chen Ling suspiciously. Seeing his pale face due to excessive blood loss, he pointed his forehead helplessly, and said with feigned anger, "Stupid! You deserve it!"

"..." Chen Ling pursed her lips, "I won't dare to move around anymore in the future."

"It's good to know." Jiang Chi said, thinking that Chen Ling would have to spend half a month on the bed with his injuries, it would be boring, so he asked, "Do you still read picture books? I'll ask Xiao Tao to get some play books to relieve your boredom." Come on."

"No need..." Chen Ling shook his head.

In fact, the reason he was interested in reading the playbook a few days ago was because he hadn't seen any pictures before, and he suffered from insomnia and was in a bad mood during that time, so he wanted to use the stories in the book to divert his attention.

Now that Chen Ling had accepted the fact of rebirth, he naturally didn't need those fabricated stories to entertain him.

"Ah Chi, can I..." Chen Ling bit his lower lip, hesitant to speak.

In the past, what Jiang Chi disliked the most was when Chen Ling said "Leave", but now what displeased him the most was the way he always cautiously refused to let go.Maybe people are greedy. In the past, Jiang Chi wanted to keep Chen Ling's people, but now they wanted his heart even more.

Covering Chen Ling's white lips from being bitten with his fingertips, Jiang Chi whispered, "Just say what's on your mind, and you don't need to have so many worries with me."

"I..." Chen Ling blinked and asked softly, "I don't want to read opera books...can you give me some books on governing the country..."

"Rule the country?" Jiang Chi was taken aback, and said, "What do you think they are doing?"

"In the past few days, I found that I don't understand a lot about state governance, so..." After a pause, Chen Ling raised his eyes to look at Jiang Chi's face, and found that the other party had no expression on his face, so he thought that Jiang Chi misunderstood him He had some unrealistic fantasies about going back to Li country to be the prince, so he hurriedly changed his words: "If you don't allow it... forget it..."

Jiang Chi stared at Chen Ling, remained silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, you can read the books in the imperial study room, and you can ask me if you don't understand."

"!" Unexpectedly, Jiang Chi would agree so readily, Chen Ling's eyes widened in surprise, only to see Jiang Chi take back a stack of playbooks placed next to his pillow one by one.

"Since you don't want to read these, it's a hindrance to leave them alone, so just throw them away." Jiang Chi said while packing up the books, and paused when he saw a semi-new book with a gray-blue cover.He picked up the book, flipped through it, and couldn't help laughing.

Chen Ling felt strange, turned his head to look, and saw that Jiang Chi was holding the Long Yang short-sleeved picture album in his hand, and immediately blushed, and said awkwardly: "What are you doing with this book, aren't you going to throw it away? ?”

Putting the picture album firmly next to Chen Ling's pillow, Jiang Chi smiled and said, "Throw away the others, and keep this one..." After a pause, he emphasized, "It's useful!"

"Shameless..." Chen Ling cursed silently, grabbed the book and stuffed it under the pillow, blushing and said angrily, "I don't know how to read it, and you don't even think about using it..."

"Haha." Jiang Chi was amused by Chen Ling's shy appearance, couldn't help pinching his persimmon-red cheeks lightly, and said, "Shy?"

"..." Chen Ling pulled Jiang Chi's hand away and said, "No."

"Heh—" Jiang Chi chuckled, stood up with a stack of books in his arms, and said, "I'll ask Xiaotao to send you the books later, but don't read too late."

"Yeah." Just as Chen Ling was about to nod, he suddenly realized that Jiang Chi's words were a bit strange, so he asked, "Aren't you coming back tonight?"

"The papers accumulated for two days have not been approved. I'm afraid I will spend the night in the imperial study tonight." Jiang Chi said a little helplessly, seeing Chen Ling looking at him, he raised his eyebrows, "Why, do you want me to stay?" come down?"

"..." Chen Ling rolled his eyes silently, pulled up the quilt, closed his eyes and said, "You go, I'm going to sleep."

"Go to sleep." Jiang Chi said: "I'll take you to the camp once you recover from your injuries."

"Da Ying?" Chen Ling opened his eyes again, and after being confused for a while, he immediately understood Jiang Chi's purpose.

Grandma's son Wang Dazhuang died in the battle, but he did not get the compensation he deserved, and the military pay was deducted layer by layer... This kind of thing is nothing more than a small amount of treasury money in the treasury, but it is enough to shake The morale of the army made the soldiers angry.

It's just that Chen Ling didn't understand why Jiang Chi took him with him.I thought Jiang Chi would explain, but I didn't expect that the other party clearly saw his doubts, but went out without saying anything.

"Alas..." Chen Ling sighed softly. In just two days since leaving the palace, Chen Ling felt that it had been longer than two years. After walking through the gate of hell again, he realized that he was in his heart. There are still a lot of regrets.

Fortunately, Qin Shan sent the antidote in time, and Jiang Chi never gave up on him.If Jiang Chi hadn't provoked him with those threats last night, Chen Ling thought that maybe he wouldn't be able to last until the antidote was delivered.

"If you die, what should I do...?"

Jiang Chi's words were still ringing in his ears, with a bit of distress and helplessness.

"What will you do...?" Chen Ling turned over and mumbled under the quilt.He remembered the dream, the woman in red in the mist and the man who had gone through all the vicissitudes of life, for some reason, his heart began to ache.

***

Jiang Chi wasn't exaggerating at all. After two days, the scriptures presented by the ministers piled up into a hill, occupying most of the desk.

Looking at the memorial in front of him, Jiang Chi pressed his eyebrows with a headache, thinking that if those who seek to usurp the throne in history knew that being an emperor had to review so many memorials, and often had no time to sleep all night, they probably wouldn't be beaten to death Rebel.

"Heh—" With a low laugh, Jiang Chi felt that he was enjoying himself while suffering.I sat down and took a memorial to review, took a cinnabar pen, circled the approved notebooks, crossed the rejected notebooks, and occasionally wrote a few comments and opinions on it.

By the time all the papers were approved, it was already the fifth watch, and it was time to go to court again.Rubbing his forehead tiredly, Jiang Chi changed into his court clothes and went to court.

The ministers were already waiting in the hall. Yesterday, Jiang Chi did not go to the morning court but did not notify them in advance. It is estimated that everyone's trip was in vain, and there was deep resentment in their hearts.

Seeing the people standing in the hall who were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes but still tried their best to stand up, Jiang Chi rarely felt a little guilty for not going to court on time.

"If you have something to play, you have nothing to do!" Xiao Lizi, the chief eunuch, shouted in a thin voice.

"I have this play." Lu He, the prefect of Kaifeng, took a few steps forward, put the wat board in front of him and bowed his head, "I have this play."

"What did Lu Aiqing say?" Jiang Chi sat upright, waiting for Lu He's next words.

"Back to the emperor, yesterday someone stopped my sedan chair on the streets of Chang'an, saying that they wanted to enter the palace to see you."

"Oh? And this?" Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why does he want to see me?"

"Because he wants to sue the imperial court." Lu He replied: "And the person he wants to sue is Chaozhou Zhizhou Wang Anzhi. I am worried that he will rush into the palace and disturb Shengjia, so I temporarily detained him."

"Sue the imperial court..." With one hand holding his hand, Jiang Chi repeated it silently. Thinking of the quarrel he overheard when he came back yesterday and the scholar in Tsing Yi who was forced to the ground by the officers and soldiers on the street, Jiang Chi guessed that the person should be Lu He is the one who sues the imperial court.It's just that there are a lot of people who sue, one or two almost every day, and often the matter is not serious enough to be handled by Jiang Chi himself. Handed over to the following ministers.

"Lu Aiqing, as the governor of Kaifeng, I believe you can handle this kind of thing well." Jiang Chi said.

"I have found out that the man is from Chaozhou, named Cao Xun, and a litigator. This time he came here on behalf of thousands of local farmers." Lu He told him everything he knew. Jiang Chi reported.

It turns out that Chaozhou is well-developed in water transportation, and goods are transported by boats. Every time they go to a pass or wharf, the government has to collect a certain amount of tax.This was the case throughout the country. However, Wang Anzhi, the magistrate of Chaozhou, not only increased the taxes on both sides of the strait, but also implemented the "kicking" measurement method to measure the weight of rice grains. "After that, there was only one stone left, and the fallen stone went into the pockets of the officials, but the people dared not speak out, so they had to suffer in silence.

The weaker the peasants were, the more unscrupulous they became. After the tax was doubled, some people finally couldn't bear it.Xiao Tong, the eldest son of Xiao's Shipping Co., the largest ship merchant in Chaozhou, was young and energetic, and he could not afford to suffer. He directly sued the official's evil deeds to the Chaozhou magistrate's yamen, but he was imprisoned for no reason, and suffered a serious illness in prison. He died and never came out again.

Therefore, in the end, the Xiao family invited Cao Xun to come forward and take the pleadings to Beijing to face the saint, to sue the Chaozhou magistrate Wang Anzhi for favoritism and the protection of judges and judges, and to seek justice for the Xiao family and the people.

Jiang Chi's frown became tighter when he heard that Chaozhou was far away from the capital. If Lu He hadn't reported this matter, he might never have known the place where the Emperor Tiangao was far away, and the people's lives were miserable.

The ghost believes that Xiao Tong died of "disease" in prison, and must have been abused and tortured to death by those unscrupulous officials.

Whether it is taxation without authorization or abuse of lynching, as an official of the court, these are serious crimes.Jiang Chi thought that under his own governance, the weather in Jiang Country would be smooth and the people would be happy and healthy. He didn't expect that in just two days, he would witness the embezzlement of military pay and abuse of lynching. His handsome face was already livid with anger.

It seems that if there is no way to rectify the officials in the court, they really don't pay attention to the laws and regulations.

"Your Majesty, just based on Cao Xun's one-sided words, Wang Anzhi cannot be found guilty." Huainan King Jiang Sheng said.

His eyes shifted to Jiang Sheng, and after a pause, Jiang Chi smiled and said, "What Uncle San Huang said is true."

"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" Seeing that King Huainan was about to intervene in this matter, Lu He said.

"Lu Aiai, you should take him into custody first, and I will interrogate him in a few days." Jiang Chi said, "I wonder if Uncle Sanhuang is interested in hearing the trial?"

"Oh no no." Jiang Sheng shook his head, his old fox-like eyes were shining brightly, and said: "This king is old and useless, the emperor doesn't need to ask me such troublesome things!"

"Haha!" Jiang Chi laughed heartily, but his eyes were cold, and said, "Since that's the case, the emperor will sit down when he comes to court. Next time, I will order someone to bring you a chair."

"Yo Yo Yo, the old minister is terrified!" Jiang Sheng shouted terrifiedly, but his face was wrinkled with a smile.

Jiang Chi pretended to be polite, and said, "Since I ascended the throne, my uncle has been assisting me with all my strength and painstaking efforts. It's just a chair, you can afford it!"

Since ancient times, there have been only emperors who sit to court, let alone those who are too old to be tired and have to sit, even those who are paralyzed and unable to stand up should stand up to court.When Jiang Chi gave Jiang Sheng the chair in front of all the ministers, he was undoubtedly announcing to the ministers that Jiang Sheng was above ten thousand people.

"Since that's the case, it's better to be respectful than obedient." Jiang Sheng stroked his gray beard and laughed a few times.

Jiang Chi lowered his head slightly, hiding his cold eyes in a shadow.

The matter of Wu Guo seems to be over, but Jiang Chi knows that it is far from it. Now that there are two more cases of military pay and water transportation, it seems to be getting more and more complicated...and more and more...interesting.
