The prince and his concubines have a little princess

At five o'clock the next day, Meng Yunying had just put on her official uniform and walked out of the ear room. After closing the door, she heard Jiang Jingxin's voice.

"What's the matter with the princess?" Meng Yunying didn't know how to face Jiang Jingxin, she didn't know what to do since she stayed up all night last night.

Hearing this, Jiang Jingxin asked with his bloodshot eyes, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's fine." Meng Yunying replied two words and didn't want to say anything more, but seeing Jiang Jing's hesitation, she asked back, "Where's the princess, did you sleep soundly last night?"

"Also...not bad." Jiang Jingxin said softly.

In fact, she tossed and turned last night, wrapped up in each other's emotions, it was difficult to fall asleep.

"Seeing that you came back so late last night, is it because the case is very difficult?" Jiang Jingxin changed the subject.

Meng Yunying looked away and said, "Yesterday, King Jing gave clues, and this murder case will be solved soon."

"Oh, that's good." Jiang Jingxin said and glanced at Meng Yunying. In the past few days, she might not be able to sleep at night. It's hard to answer, it's better to live apart for a while.

Jiang Jingxin plucked up the courage and said slowly: "My son-in-law, I... I have been feeling unwell for the past few days, why don't you stay in the ear room from tonight, okay?"

When Meng Yunying heard this, she shook her hand under the sleeve robe, it was indeed General Shao and Princess who refused to have sex with her.

"Okay." Meng Yunying endured the pain in her heart, raised her sleeves in a bow and said, "It's getting late, I should go to court." After saying that, she turned around and strode out.

Jiang Jingxin opened her mouth, and Meng Yunying's reaction made her feel a little uncomfortable for a moment. Normally, Meng Yunying would nervously ask her about her physical discomfort, but now she readily agreed to sleep in a separate room. Fortunately, she thought she had to persuade her.

Jiang Jing took a deep breath, Meng Yunying like this is too abnormal, could it be that he has been angered outside again?Or was she urging the other party to handle the case yesterday and the other party was angry with her?Jiang Jingxin became even more flustered when he thought about it, and looked at the maid beside him and said, "My son-in-law is coming back, please come and see me."

Meng Yunying left the mansion, sat in the sedan chair, and went straight to the palace.

At five o'clock in winter, before dawn, when we arrived at the gate of the palace, we saw all the courtiers walking towards the Meridian Gate one after another.

Today is the morning court on the last day of the year, but everyone who has received an official position must go to court today, including the old princes, grand masters and others.

On the majestic Jinluan Hall, red lanterns with dragons and phoenixes showing auspiciousness have been hung in every corner.

The civil and military officials knelt on the cold floor, shouted long live, and kowtowed to Emperor Zhengde on the dragon chair in unison.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone, let's live in peace." Emperor Zhengde swept everyone condescendingly, then looked at the eunuch at the side and said, "Give a seat to everyone who is over sixty years old."

"Long live the old minister." The veterans who were over sixty years old thanked each other, and then went to the seat and sat down.

Look at that posture, each face is full of pride, and it is true that there are not many people in the world who can sit in the Golden Luan Hall for the morning court.

"Today is the last day of morning court on this day. If you have something to do at home, you should go home early. If you are visiting relatives, visiting relatives, visiting friends, take a good rest." Emperor Zhengde looked at the court with a smile on his face. of civil and military.

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao looked at Hubu Langzhong, who was second in the fourth row, and he understood and stood up first.

"Your Majesty, I have a copy." The doctor took out the booklet from his sleeve and held it up high.

Seeing this, the eunuch hurried over to pick up the paper, walked up to Emperor Zhengde and presented it with both hands.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent need to urge food and grass in the northern border recently. However, the countries in the Western Regions are also eyeing it. The treasury is about to be exhausted except for the reserved war funds in the Western Regions."

Emperor Zhengde frowned when he heard the words and said: "I am also troubled by this matter. The current grain and grass in the northern border can only last for a month at most. If you don't send people to escort the grain and grass to the past, I am afraid that the northern border will fall. Once it falls, the Western Regions will be at war. , surrounded by enemies, our Great Zhou will be in danger, at this critical moment, do you have any food strategy?"

As soon as these words fell, a courtier said: "Your Majesty, the Western Regions are still relatively peaceful, and besides, the prince and princess of Daqing are in our court. If there is a war in the Western Regions, Daqing will definitely help. Why not transfer the war funds reserved by the treasury to the Northern Territory first?" use."

"No, Your Majesty, once the war resources are embezzled and the Western Regions hear about the news that a war is launched, although we have soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, we have no food and grass. How can we resist?" Some courtiers came out to object.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhengde said, "Jing Qiao, what do you think?"

Jiang Jingqiao heard the words and said: "Brother, my sister thinks that there is no need to embezzle the resources for the war in the Western Regions. The war in the northern border is in urgent need of food and grass. I have a big Zhou Dynasty, so how can I not raise food and grass for the northern border? Above the Golden Palace All the ministers and clansmen are good ministers who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic to the country, so how can you see the tension of the war and remain indifferent?"

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Emperor Zhengde's mouth raised, but most of the courtiers in the hall turned pale instantly.

Zhao Yong secretly took a look at Jiang Jingqiao, and knew that this ruffian king couldn't spit ivory out of his mouth.

"Brother Emperor, look at this group of loyal ministers and good generals. They must be worried about the defeat of the Northern Territory. They are all anxious to contribute to the imperial court. They wish to go to battle and kill the enemy in person. However, most of them are powerless. Be able to do it and be anxious. Now it’s all right, the northern border is short of food and grass, now is the chance to show your loyalty.” Jiang Jingqiao turned around slowly as he spoke, and walked in front of Zhao Yong, “Master, do you think so?”

When Zhao Yong heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked up at Emperor Zhengde. The other party was looking at him with piercing eyes. King Jing put him in this position. If he didn't say anything, he would definitely offend Emperor Zhengde.

"Yes, what His Highness Prince Jing said is reasonable." Zhao Yong's brain was spinning quickly, "I would like to show my loyalty... 200 taels!"

Jiang Jingqiao raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't hear clearly just now, how loyal is the Duke?"

When Zhao Yong heard this, his hands trembled, and he glanced at Emperor Zhengde. Seeing him sizing him up, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's 500 taels."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao walked to Zhao Dongxu's side and said, "How much loyalty does Mr. Zhao show?"

Zhao Dongxu lost his wife and two daughters. He already felt that his luck was bad. Hearing Jiang Jingqiao asking him in the hall, he almost passed out.

"My minister, my salary is meager, so I donate...two, 200 taels."

Jiang Jingqiao nodded and said, "Master Zhao is also a loyal minister."

After Jiang Jingqiao finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Dongxi, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is a relative of the emperor, so I don't know how much to contribute?"

Zhao Dongxi heard the words and said: "My father donated five hundred taels, and the eldest brother two hundred. I didn't dare to surpass my father and brother, so I donated 180 taels."

"180 taels, good, very good." Jiang Jingqiao smiled and looked at Zhao Dongxin, "Where is Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Dongxin pursed his lips when he heard the words, and Jiang Jingqiao only asked the Zhao family in public what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd.

"The minister also expressed his loyalty for 180 taels."

"Very good." Jiang Jingqiao turned around and walked back with a smile, walked up to Zhao Yong and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, the three Mr. Zhao now have to give the Duke 20 taels of pension money every month, and they all An upright official, the expenses in the mansion are quite high. After donating to the court, there should be no money to honor the Duke of the country. What should I do? Let's deduct 20 taels from each of them and give it to the Duke."

Zhao Yong was so angry that he felt that the head of the minister in front had suddenly become two, how could he dare to take another 20 taels from the loyal silver.

"No, no, the country's affairs are important. Besides, the old minister has a house and a field, food and clothing without worrying about his majesty's favor. He doesn't need them to give money. Now that the war is tight, the money is still important for the war."

Hearing the words, Jiang Jingqiao cupped his hands and said, "My lord, a loyal minister, really moved me." Jiang Jingqiao said and looked at Emperor Zhengde, "Imperial brother, my lord is righteous, please show my kindness to my lord."

When Zhao Yong heard this, he felt a little comforted, at least some rewards could make up for it.

Emperor Zhengde said with a smile: "It should be rewarded, what do you think is good for rewarding?"

Jiang Jingqiao smiled and said: "The Duke of the country is so righteous, it would be vulgar to reward others, why don't the emperor make a special case today, and reward the Duke of the country to sit in court today, to show the emperor's kindness."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yong's face turned black, and he knew that Jiang Jingqiao would not be so kind.And Zhao Ningde in the back row of the Golden Palace raised the corners of his mouth, and Zhao Ninglang almost laughed out loud. Looking at King Jing today, he felt a little kind.

"Okay, come, give me a seat for the Lord." Emperor Zhengde didn't want to reward him, so he offered 500 taels, which was a drop in the bucket for Zhao Yong. The Zhao family had a lot of real estate and land, and I don't know what to think about such a large family property. He actually asked his sons to pay him another 20 taels a month. Could it be that he likes to collect money when he is old?

Emperor Zhengde shook his head, he didn't bother to think about the family affairs of the courtiers, but each of these courtiers offered a "nine cows and a hair" is enough to last three or four months in the north.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Yong feigned panic, walked to the side and sat down.

Zhao Dongxu felt sorry for Yinzi, and Zhao Dongxin's face turned greener. The pension money was said to be for Zhao Yong, but in fact it was used by him to make friends with his colleagues. How can he be happy now that he has lost a sum of money that has been accumulating for many years.

"How about this, the loyal money of all the ministers will be handed over to the Ministry of Households after the morning court, and will be registered in the register. When the war in the northern border is settled, I will reward the meritorious service based on the registered money." Emperor Zhengde said, stood up, and walked away. Going to Longjie, he said: "The household department will handle this matter carefully, and the money will be raised as soon as possible. After the new year, people will be sent to escort the grain and grass to the north immediately."

"Here." The Minister of the Ministry of Households came out, "Please, please, who will escort the grain and grass to the north?"

Upon hearing the words, Emperor Zhengde looked at all his courtiers: "Is there anyone who recommends himself?"

Meng Yunying, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to escort the food and grass to the north."

When Jiang Jingqiao heard this, she turned her head to look at Meng Yunying in surprise, it was obvious that she was emotionally hurt.

Emperor Zhengde frowned slightly: "How did you investigate the murder of Miss Zhao's second lady?"

Meng Yunying hurriedly said: "I have found out the real culprit, and I will arrest him soon."

"Since we have found it, we should close the case as soon as possible, so as not to panic people in the capital." Emperor Zhengde said again: "You are a civil servant, and the progress on the road is slow, so you can't take on this important task. Besides, you have just been transferred from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Punishment. If you go, everything in the Ministry of Punishment will be chaotic, I will not allow it, so I will step down."

Meng Yunying sighed in her heart when she heard the words, and retreated silently.

"Shangshu Hubu, I order you to submit a personal selection in the next year, and I will choose from among them."

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly said, "Here."

Jiang Jingqiao looked back at Meng Yunying, sighed slightly, this Meng Yunying was always a muscle, she had to figure out what was going on, but now she was emotionally hurt and wanted to 'run away'.
