Chapter 135 Aunt Matches Them(2/3)
"Let him come in." The eldest princess Zhao Ruoli responded.
"yes."
Qing'er came to the door and said respectfully: "Master Jiang, Your Highness the Princess allows you to come in."
"well."
Jiang Zuo, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly picked up the hem of his clothes and walked in.
"The lower official pays homage to the eldest princess."
The eldest princess, Zhao Ruoli, raised her hand and said, "Master Jiang, please forgive me and sit down quickly."
Jiang Zuo then sat down and said uneasily: "Your Highness, your Majesty has not promised to save the expenses of the harem and various officials this time."
Zhao Ruoli seemed to have guessed her brother's character a long time ago.
If he was asked to save money on the harem, it would be better to kill a few corrupt officials and confiscate their homes.
But she wanted Jiang Zuo to make this suggestion.
And it must be mentioned.
Only in this way.
Only she can tell about the corruption situation in Youzhou and other three places in the Northeast.
Then Your Majesty will follow the pole and let Zhao Ji be responsible for the relief money.
This one million taels.
She believed that her good nephew Zhao Ji would raid the homes of those corrupt officials.
Otherwise, if it is not enough, you can only pay from yourself.
The eldest princess, Zhao Ruoli, then said calmly: "It's okay. No matter what, we should be able to collect the one million yuan for relief."
"Will His Highness Prince Jing really get it together?" Jiang Zuo asked tentatively.
Zhao Ruoli smiled: "Don't worry, he will definitely get it together. In ten days, you can ask him for some silver, but at the same time, ask Mr. Yanguan Sun to prepare another discount."
"What's the secret?"
"Impeaching the Second Prince Kang, His Royal Highness Zhao Chengqian."
When Jiang Zuo heard this, his eyes widened in fright.
At this time, Mu Guifei Nangong Wei was waiting at the palace gate.
As early as just now, Qing Emperor Zhao Hongyin went straight to Penglai Hall.
Before entering the palace, Nangong Wei received the news and greeted her at the door early.
After seeing Zhao Hongyin, everyone on the side knelt down and worshiped.
Mu Guifei Nangong Wei also saluted: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Zhao Hongyin smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "No courtesy."
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Nangong Wei stepped forward and asked.
Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin explained: "I just went to the morning court and had nothing to do, so I came to take a look."
"Your Majesty has many things to do, but you have to be careful about the Holy Body." Nangong Wei replied.
Then Zhao Hongyin asked: "What has my concubine been doing in the harem recently?"
"I, my concubine, don't have anything to do. I just enjoy flowers and birds, and then look forward to your Majesty's arrival." Nangong Wei said and looked at her with a look of grievance.
Zhao Hongyin smiled: "I'm here now. It seems that my beloved concubine is bored in this harem."
"Not entirely. A few days ago, my niece came to see me." Nangong Wei explained.
Qing Emperor Zhao Hongyin recalled it and asked: "Is it Nangong Xue, the Qianhu of the God Catcher Division?"
"Yes, her father, my eldest brother, was the first deputy commander when His Majesty established the Divine Catching Division." Nangong Wei replied.
Qing Emperor Zhao Hongyin pretended to suddenly realize: "I have an impression. I remember that Nangong Qi's wife was killed, which also led to his semi-mad state later."
"Yes, that child's mother was gone and her father was crazy, so I was half her father and mother." Nangong Wei sighed with emotion.
Zhao Hongyin comforted her and said, "My beloved concubine is actually kind-hearted."
"When she was chatting with me a few days ago, she kept mentioning a man who was also in the Shenqi Division." Nangong Wei said at this time: "I guessed that the girl would like that man, so I asked her yesterday
I even specially asked him to come into the palace and have a look."
"Oh? There is this thing." Although Zhao Hongyin was surprised, he seemed to have known about it for a long time.
Nangong Wei nodded: "I look at that boy so much, he looks exactly like my eldest brother back then. It's a pity."
"What's a pity?" Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin asked.
"It's a pity that he can't see, he's blind, and he has no father or mother. I felt sorry for him, so I simply recognized him as my nephew. Then I will bring them together as a couple." Nangong Wei answered.
Qing Emperor Zhao Hongyin smiled: "In that case, that's fine. If they become a couple in the future, they can come to accompany you more often, which will save you from boredom."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support~"
After chatting for a while, Zhao Hongyin left.
"Your Majesty, be careful and pay more attention to the Holy Body." Nangong Wei warned.
After Qing Emperor Zhao Hongyin walked out of the palace, he asked the eunuch behind him: "Are you sure you can't see it?"
"Your Majesty, the man who came to the palace yesterday is indeed invisible, and he is indeed the newly promoted Baihu of the Divine Catcher Division." The young eunuch said in a low voice.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongyin nodded and said: "In this case, this man does not need to be monitored in the future."
"Nangong Qi, I couldn't help you back then, but I will help your daughter and future uncle."
After saying that, he also glanced at the sky and ordered people to go back to Zichen Hall.
As for the Penglai Palace, after observing it for a while, the maid Yun'er returned to the palace and said to Nangong Wei: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has left."
"Yes, I understand." Nangong Wei said calmly.
She actually guessed that His Majesty would come.
But I didn't expect it to be so soon.
Now that I am honest with myself, I think there will be no problem even if Nangong Xue and Xue Mu come to my bedroom in the future.
For more than a year, Nangong Wei rarely saw Emperor Qing.
But we also learned from other concubines and sisters that Zhao Hongyin was suspicious by nature.
So if you want to break his suspicion, you must turn passivity into initiative.
Take the initiative to confess and play with reality.
She knows it too.
The reason why I can become a noble concubine.
It's because of her eldest brother.
When His Majesty ordered Nangong Qi to hunt down the remnants of Murong Jin's accomplices, he was killed by those people and turned around.
In the end, Nangong Xue's mother was killed by thieves in order to protect herself and Xue'er.
But she never told Nangong Xue about this.
Nangong Wei was worried that if this matter was told to her, Nangong Xue would probably transfer this hatred to Emperor Qing.
She knew that going against the imperial court would not end well.
"Xue'er, my aunt has no way to help you take revenge. She can't find those remnants of the demon sect, so she can only try her best to make you as happy as possible."
As she said this, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
Since the Bei Quhe case was solved, Xue Mu has become much more relaxed.
Now in the Divine Catcher Division, everyone admires him very much.
Especially that night, one person captured four rough men and determined the direction of solving the case.
It made everyone admire him even more.
Just when Xue Mu thought he could continue fishing, the catcher guarding the D-level cell came to the Divine Catching Department in a hurry.
"Xue Baihu! It's not good!"
Xue Mu asked: "What's wrong?"
"Zuo Yuheng shouted loudly in prison to find you."
Xue Mu smiled: "It's impossible that he said he wanted to find me, so I just went, right? Let's go tomorrow."
With that said, he stood up and prepared to leave.
When the policeman heard this, he could only say awkwardly: "He will go to the execution ground tomorrow."
"What?!" Xue Mu said in shock: "Tomorrow?"
